Adam Shankman

To ensure that this year's Oscars broadcast has a soundtrack just as bad as his movies do, giggly co-producer Adam Shankman has hired Good Charlotte's Joel Madden to serve as the ceremony's house DJ/head wanksta. Ah, I can see co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin awkwardly white guy rapping the nominees right now. Shankman says:

"I wanted there to be a party atmosphere and I wanted to make sure everyone in the room was having a great time"

Oh yes, I'm sure everyone in the room will have a good time. Especially these guys:

This morning Variety reports that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will be double-teaming the 82nd Academy Awards. Oscar co-producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman didn't waste much time in snagging the duo as we told you yesterday that Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr. had turned down the offer to co-host. Martin has the experience of both hosting and having had worked with Shankman in the past on Bringing Down the House. Sounds like two pretty solid hosts but oh, how we do wish that Baldwin were splitting hosting duties with Tracy Morgan.

BALDWIN: "Are you excited to be here tonight, Tracy?"

MORGAN: "I'm gonna get Oscar pregnant!"

BALDWIN: "Ha ha. Now Tracy, stick to the script."

MORGAN: "Sure thing, Alec B.. (long pause) I wanna break Helen Mirren's water!!"
