Myers loses his mojo with 'Love Guru' Razzie

By Jill Serjeant

LOS ANGELES, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Mike Myers really did lose
his mojo in 2008.

Myers and his comedy "The Love Guru," which won few fans at
box offices, were named worst actor and worst picture of 2008
at the Razzie Awards on Saturday, one day before the world's
top film honors, the Oscars, are given out in Hollywood.

The comedy featuring Myers as a spiritual healer was also
given the Razzie for the worst screenplay of 2008.

The Canadian actor and the movie he spent years developing
won gold spray-painted Raspberries at the awards ceremony
created in 1980 to spoof the glitzy Academy Awards.

"The Love Guru" flopped in theaters with only $40.8 million
in global ticket sales. That figure is a huge come-down after
Myers' three "Austin Powers" spoofs in which the comedian
worked his spy character's positive mojo to perfection, raking
in a combined $675 million at global box offices.

Socialite Paris Hilton was the other big award-winner at
the 29th annual Golden Raspberry Awards.

Hilton won three trophies: worst actress and worst screen
couple for her low-budget romantic comedy "The Hottie & The
Nottie," as well as worst supporting actress for her role in
the horror fantasy "Repo! The Genetic Opera."

Some of 2008's biggest blockbusters also got Razzies.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the
highly anticipated fourth installment of the adventure
franchise starring Harrison Ford, was declared the worst
"prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel."

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan was awarded the worst
supporting actor for his singing turn in the ABBA tunes musical
"Mamma Mia!"

The "winners" of the Razzies were determined by mailing
ballots to 657 voters living in the United States and 19
foreign countries.

Few Raspberry winners collect their trophies but Oscar
winning actress Halle Berry sportingly showed up four years ago
to take home her prize for "Catwoman."
