 HOST CHRIS ROCK SHOCK: ONLY GAYS WATCH OSCARS
 
 ACADEMY MEMBERS ALARMED OVER CHOICE OF COMIC
 
 **Exclusive**
 
 Veteran members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have grown concerned over the choice of Chris Rock as host of this month's awards show, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
 
 Concern deepened after Rock claimed only gays watch the Oscars!
 
 "I never watched the Oscars. Come on, it's a fashion show," Rock recently declared.
 
 "What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one!"
 
 Rock added: "Awards for art are f---ing idiotic."

 Academy members have privately called for Chris Rock to be removed as host, sources claim, fearing Rock may "tarnish" the reputation of the Academy.
 
 "Simply put, this is a disgrace," one veteran Hollywood mogul, who asked not to be identified, said from Los Angeles.
 
 "This guy is out there saying 'awards for art are f---ing idiotic' and he is hosting the show produced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences? I guess the joke is on us!"
 
 One nominated actress questions whether producer Gil Cates was even aware that Rock has "never watched the Oscars."
 
 Other unpublicized comments made by Rock threaten to throw the scheduled Feb. 27 broadcast into complete chaos.
 
 During a recent hate-filled rant, Rock imitated a White House press briefing:
 
 "Mr. President, what about gay marriage? 'F**k them faggots,'" Rock said of Bush.
 
 What will Rock be wearing to the show?
 
 "Nothing against people who aren't straight, but what straight guy that you know cares? Who gives a f---?" Rock explained.

The producer of the Oscars said Monday he was not concerned by comments from comedian and first-time host Chris Rock that belittled the event.
 
 "Chris' comments over the past few weeks are meant to be humorous digs at a show that some people, obviously including Chris himself, think may be a bit too stuffy," producer Gil Cates said in a statement released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
 
 In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rock called the notion of giving awards for art "idiotic" and said he has never cared for the Academy Awards, which he likened to a "fashion show." He said the only time he watched was when black actors were nominated.
 
 "What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one," Rock was quoted as saying in the magazine's February 4 issue.
 
 Cates, who is producing the February 27 event, said he was not worried by those and other remarks.
 
 His statement followed a story posted Sunday on the Drudge Report Web site, which cited unnamed sources and reported that "academy members have privately called for Chris Rock to be removed as host, fearing Rock may 'tarnish' the reputation of the academy."
 
 Cates rejected that claim.
 
 "The academy has heard no grumbling from its members and has no intention of even suggesting that Chris step aside," he said.

Matt Drudge... full of s*** as so often
 
 "Academy executive administrator Ric Roberts told Variety: "There hasn't even been a peep from our membership and we're really excited about him hosting."

NO NO NO! You have it all wrong. It's perfectly socially acceptable to be black and a racist bigot....heaven forbid though, if you're white and anything other than completely and totally politically correct.
 
 BTW. Chris Rock is a wanker and about as entertaining as a weekend in Liverpool.
