Seacrest & "Slumdog" -- Lost in Translation
Ryan Seacrest just interviewed the kids from "Slumdog Millionaire." It might have gone a little better if he prepped himself on their names first ... and knew they didn't all speak English.

Meryl Streep - Silent Actress
Meryl Streep was her regal self as she arrived at LAX yesterday, saying nothing but lookin' kinda cool.

TMZ Would Like to Spank the Academy ...
This Oscar Sunday, don't keep your comments to yourself. From the second the stars show up, TMZ is going interactive.
If you see something on Oscar Sunday that's "TMZ Worthy," don't be stingy -- pass your ideas on what they wear, how they act and how stupid the reporters are -- and it could make the front page of TMZ.com.
At 5 PM ET we're going live with your comments. All you have to do is click on the box in the right rail that says "Spank the Academy." At 5P ET you'll see a form where you can comment away!
So congrats, you've all been deputized as TMZ reporters for the day. Don't screw it up.
And the Winner Isn't ...
There's a reputed leaked memo circulating online revealing the winners of tomorrow's Oscar ceremony. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences tells TMZ it's bogus.
The memo gives Academy officers a heads up on the winners, but officials say no such memo exists.
Some of the winners seem pretty obvious to us and some don't. It will be interesting to see if the list ends up nailing it.
Stay tuned ...

After starring in the biggest box office hit ever made and being nominated for an Oscar five times, looking better than ever is just icing on the cake for Kate Winslet.
The Photoshop-free 33-year-old looked so hot (and blonde and tan) she didn't even need a coat while out on the streets of Manhattan last night.
She's the queen of the world.
