(NEWSER) – It was a decidedly unglamorous beginning to the Oscars: About half an hour before the show kicked off tonight, a pipe burst in the women's bathroom at the Dolby Theatre and flooded the lobby. It happened when the mom of one of the nominees flushed a toilet, an embarrassing situation described by another nominee to The Wrap: "The poor woman came out looking like a scene from Carrie. She was drenched."

Ah, for once Hollywood folks were the same on the outside and we all know they are on the inside.

While we can't confirm the story, we are receiving scattered reports of cannibalism from within the building.

LOL, exactly. Would have been kewl to see a big tidal wave of turds rush right down the center aisle, then wash up onto the stage in the middle of the show.

"Where was Michelle..."

Ha ha! My first thought was similar, but with Rosie O'Donnell.

[fidelis]

Gee, I’m surprised anyone could tell.

[metalurgist]

The man upstairs has cast his ballot and let his feelings be known.
