lunchtime quickie: 4 links you'll lovecanada (Jan.24.12)

* The nominees for the 84th Academy Awards have been released and we're pleasantly surprised to see Melissa McCarthy up for best supporting actress for her role in Bridesmaids. Plus, Hollywood hunks and best buddies Brad Pitt and George Clooney will be competing for best actor. We can already sense the suspense! [www.oscars.org]

* Survivors of the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that nearly sank in Italy, are being offered 30 per cent off their next cruise vacation with Carnival as compensation. We're guessing we haven't heard the end of this story. [TheGlobeandMail]

* Canadian fashion journalist Jeanne Beker has been Coveteured! Catch the full gallery of photos from inside her private home on The Coveteur, and a behind the scenes sneak peek of the shoot on Fashion Television. Among Beker’s fashion treasures, a gifted Chanel dress from Karl Lagerfeld himself and an English topper she wore at the Royal Wedding. [TheCoveteur]

* Kim Kardashian lashed back at critics who accused her of getting married to turn a profit. Yesterday, while co-hosting Live! With Kelly, the reality TV star spoke out saying, "If [the marriage] was a business decision, and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV … I'm a smart business woman. I would have stayed married longer." Kudos to that, sister! [People]
