Kausfiles Gets Oscar Fever!

The current hot Oscar rumor, according to kausfiles' extensive network of Hollywood sources, is this: South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker will send up the whole overdone obsession with which-actress-is-wearing-what-gown by showing up at the Oscars in drag. It could be a memorable Joan Rivers red-carpet interview. ... Of course, this is a logical rumor to make up, because Stone and Parker could use some publicity for their movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, which is up for an award in the Original Song category. ... On the other hand, it's such a good publicity stunt, once Stone and Parker hear the rumor, how could they not do it? The Oscars may be the last entertainment venue in America where cross-dressing could still cause a stir. ... Remember you heard it first from kausfiles, your source for celebrity fashion news! ...

Update: As of 5:55 EST Sunday, kausfiles can now confirm that Stone and Parker have in fact been planning this stunt. Parker is set to dress up like Gwyneth Paltrow in a pink Ralph Lauren while Stone emulates Jennifer Lopez. This is not to say they won't chicken out. ...

More: (7:35 EST) They did it. Kausfiles even correctly identified the females they were impersonating, scooping the massed armies of celebrity journalism on this important development. ...
