Farrah Fawcett did not make the cut for this year's In Memoriam tribute during last night's Academy Awards telecast ... leaving many scratching their heads.
Despite appearing in such classics as "Sunburn," "Saturn 3," "The Cannonball Run" and "Dr. T and the Women," Fawcett was passed over for more household names ... like Michael Jackson.
An Academy spokesperson told the AP, "Every year it's an unfortunate reality that we can't include everybody."

We're pretty sure The Situation, Pauly D and Ronnie were not in "The Hurt Locker" -- but if they were, this is what it would look like.
It's all part of a series for "Lopez Tonight" where the "Jersey Shore" peeps reenact scenes from this year's Best Picture list. The "Hurt Locker" clip airs Monday night -- and scenes from "Avatar," "Up In The Air," "Precious," "Inglourious Basterds" and "The Blind Side" will air throughout the week.

We all thought it, but it's actually true -- Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are related. How do you like them apples?
The New England Historic Genealogical Society concluded the Oscar-winning man-friends are actually 10th cousins ... once removed, the Boston Herald reports. They share a common 10th great-grandfather, William Knowlton of Ipswich, a bricklayer who died in 1655.
It also turns out Ben is an 11th cousin to Barack Obama and Matt is related to "six or seven" presidents.
What a family gathering that would make.

There's no debating the guy can make a kick-ass action flick -- but when Bruce Willis told photogs yesterday he's "doubtful" his movies will ever get him an Academy Award, did he have a point?

How Much for That 'Slumdog' Kid in the Window?
Published

Updated
Being part of an Oscar winning movie can up your asking price in Hollywood. Apparently it can also up your asking price should your father decide to try and sell you.
Rubina Ali, the nine-year-old girl who was featured prominently in the Oscar winning "Slumdog Millionaire," was offered up for sale by her father to undercover reporters working for News of the World, the paper is reporting.
The young child star's asking price was roughly $295,000. According to the paper, the price started off much lower when he first began negotiating the deal. Maybe the father forgot to take DVD sales into account.
UPDATE -- Rubina's dad is flatly denying the whole thing, telling the BBC News it was just a "dirty" operation by News of the World.
