when I searched through the channels last night, it seemed odd to see video's of Haiti's disaster, people looting the streets, and total devastation. then I fell upon the red carpet, The Golden Globes. I wasn't bothered by this until this morning, logging into AOL only to see these video picks, side by side, and thought "what's wrong with this picture"
Disaster VS. Designer
James Cameron, 'Avatar' See Blue at Golden Globes; Bullock Shines
If you didn't think James Cameron was the favorite to dominate the Oscars, think again. The science-fiction blockbuster 'Avatar' won best drama at the Golden Globes and picked up the directing honor for Cameron on Sunday, raising the 'Titanic' filmmaker's prospects for another Academy Awards triumph. It was a repeat of Cameron's Globes night 12 years ago, when 'Titanic' won best drama and the directing prize on its way to dominating the Oscars.
Scene at Hospital in Haiti's Capital Is Nightmarish
PORT -AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Jan. 17) -- The general hospital in the center of this devastated city reeks of illness and death. The partially collapsed medical complex near the caved in presidential palace is packed with patients suffering from broken bones, burns and infection.
Surgeons have performed 60 amputations in the last two days on two operating beds. Howls of pain escape into the courtyard, where about 1,000 people wait under the burning sun for medical attention, swatting flies away from open wounds.
Gabi Ali, 8, was transferred from one triage center to the next, finally arriving here, at the Hopital de l'Universite d'Etat d'Haiti, where a coalition of doctors working under the umbrella group International Medical Corp. has centralized treatment. Suffering from burns and a spinal injury after his home collapsed and then caught fire, Gabi is alone, orphaned by the earthquake.
"It just doesn't seem right"
"The room where I lived is ashes," he said. "It was Thursday that they could pull my roommate out from the rubble."

'Mad Men''s Christina Hendricks looks firecracker hot from the neck up, with her signature red locks and bright crimson lips, but this flesh-colored Christian Siriano gown washes her out, and the overwhelming ruffles hide the curves she's become known for.
