Funny man Eddie Murphy thinks he is going to be the worst host of the Oscars ever.

The Tower Heist star will be presenting the prestigious movie event in February 2012, and despite executives behind the ceremony being keen to have him, he does not have so much confidence in himself and is concerned he may wet himself on stage.

He says "I think it's so funny that people think I'm the perfect guy for this. I'm going to be horrendous. I'm going to be the worst host ever."

"I'm going to be introducing people and looking straight to the camera. And i'm going to wear a powdered sky blue tuxedo and at the end of the evening, I'm going to urinate on myself in front of a billion people. Just letting you know - the worst hot ever."

The comedy star also joked the only agreed to host the show because Brett Ratner, who directed him in Tower Heist and producing the Oscars, and him joked it would be good promotion for the film.

He told Entertainment Tonight: "I was like, 'You know, if I hosted that show, it would probably get nice little chatter for our movie before the movie came out.' And that's kind of how it happened."

George Clooney may have an interest in politics, both on screen and off, but public office is one role he'd never take on.

"It would never be something I'm interested in. I'm not good at the kind of compromises that you have to make to get elected," said Clooney.

Clooneys father unsuccessful run for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District in 20004 may have left a sour taste in his mouth.

"I watched that happen and I watched how frustrating it was for him and I didn't enjoy it," he said. But it's the current political climate that keeps him from throwing his hat in the ring.

"It's still the most polarized time we've seen in a long time. And very caring, smart people on both sides of the aisle, you could argue, are having a very difficult time getting anything done," said the 50 year old Academy Winner.

Red Carpet on Awards Night

I really like watching celebrity strut their stuff on the red carpet on awards nights, its more exciting than the awards itself, why? its because of the dress, and the latest fashion trends. You can get ideas from some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. You get to see the best dress and the worse dress, and the most ridiculous and out of this world dress. Another that's great about it is the questions thrown by the reporters and the answers by you favorite celebrity.

Red carpet on awards night are a celebrity news blog dream. This is where you can get juicy details, gossips and news on your favorite stars. Not to mention the dress ( I mention this earlier but the dress are what keeping me glued on my television). Who's dating who? who's not with someone. The hot stuff can be found on the red carpet, believe me. If you want some to look for some juicy stuff on your celebrity, a friend of mine suggested this site Pop Culture Couture.
