Florence performing at the Oscar's!!!!!!! I'M ****ING DYING!!!!!!
Of course all of my faves go into promotion mode when I'M OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I better have a link in my inbox to the Mandy performance within 30 seconds of it being aired or I will blow a fuse.
Florence performing!!!
Hopefully it is in fact that Dido can't make it, and they're not pulling one of those "you're-not-famous-enough-in-the-US-to-perform" deals (like they did with Jorge Drexler when they had Antonio Banderas sub for him) or else I'll be PISSED for Dido...
Whatever, I still want Randy Newman to win... Toy Story 3 was awesome!!!!
