Oscar host 2012

Eddie Murphy: The actor-and-comedian — who was nominated for an Oscar himself in 2006 for his role in Dreamgirls and also presented an accolade in 2009 — has been praised by event producers as a “comedic genius” and one of the “most influential” live performers the world has ever seen.

Brett Ratner, co-producer of the Oscars, said in a statement: “Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever.

“With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances — especially on stage — I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show Don and I want to produce in February.”

Co-producer Don Mischer added: “Eddie is a truly ground-breaking performer, whose amazingly diverse array of roles has won him a devoted audience of all ages. His quick wit and charisma will serve him very well as Oscar host.”

The 83rd Academy Awards were hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco, and despite their high-profile statuses, many critics disliked their work.

Tim Franco at industry bible The Hollywood Reporter said: “Anne Hathaway at least tried to sing and dance and preen along to the goings on, but Franco seemed distant, uninterested and content to keep his Cheshire-cat-meets-smug smile on display throughout.”

Bentley 2012 Continental GTC

While Bentley prepares to unveil their 2012 Bentley Continental GTC at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the one-time rotary aero-engine manufacturer would do well to give thanks to professional athletes and mainstream rappers that helped make the Continental the recent success it has enjoyed.

Not looking to rest on its growth, the long-time luxury automobile manufacturer is aiming to appeal to more mainstream markets of the US, Europe and China. And what better way to achieve that than introduce a convertible counterpart to the standard Continental coupe, which is exactly what Bentley has done.

The GTC features a power retracting soft-top, a 6.0 liter W12 engine which pumps out a solid 567 horsepower, is capable of 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, and an impressive top speed of 195 mph.

Pricing has yet to be finalized but more information should be available once car debuts at the Frankfurt Auto Show this month.
