Loved
Dianna Agron
*I love the makeup. Quite a departure from her usual fresh-faced look.
Eva Longoria in
*A great cross of flirty and classy
Anna Nalick
*Would’ve loved it more without the feathers sticking out.
Jennifer Hudson in Versace
*I didn’t like the dress at all. I think the halter doesn’t jibe well with the dual layered bottom.
But she made the like list because I loved the dress she wore to Clive Davis’ party.
She looks skinnier at the Grammys than on her cd cover
Monica in Stephane Roland
*Dramatic and outstanding. I love it. Maybe there’s too much neck action, there should be a small scoop, but overall it’s great.
Nicole Kidman in Gaultier
*I love the warm golds and brown, but I wish she’d go shorter sometime.
Rihanna in Gaultier
*Either go big or go home and I love how daring this look was. She looks impish, not trashy and that’s a tough balance sometimes.
Brandy
*I loved it until I realized the mesh sleeves has holes in it.
Monica and Brandy
*For old times sake “The Boy is Mine”
Always a fashion winner, Kelly Osbourne in Tadashi Shoji
GrammaFunk (IDEK). I love the Old West look. If only the skirt was black or the bodice black and the skirt red. She should’ve broken up the solid color.
Keri Hilson in Basil Soda
Keri Hilson in Dolce and Gabbana at the Clive Davis party
*Too much clashing print action (I’m not big on animal print), but I do like the streamline skirt and that saves it. Barely.
Margaret Cho
*Her tats are a bit distracting honestly, but I love the flow of the gown.
Melanie Fiona in Max Azaria
*Beautiful flapper look.
Kevin McHale
Amber Riley in Ema Savahl
*I don’t know what’s going on with the gold piece on her shoulder, but I think she looks divine.
Selma Blair in Lanvin
*It’s very simple, but it works.
Natasha Bedingfield
Leighton Meester in Michael Kors
*She was at the premiere of “The Roommate” but I love it so much I have to post it here.
Someone who had a fashion fail at her premiere was Anne Hathaway at “Rango”.
Bad, Anne! Bad!
Kim Kardashian in Kauffman Franco
*Flawless. I love the entire look.
Jordin Sparks in Zang Toi
Jordin at the Belvedere Launch party
Matt Dallas was there too
Anyhoo, although Joe “Thick ‘em Thighs” Jonas persists on dating “Twilight”s Ashley Greene as the two both cling to relevancy by using each other (that’s like holding onto a drowning person to keep yourself from drowing), he recently hit up his friend Jordin on Twitter.
I’d be so happy if he was Jordin’s first gay boyfriend. I’d even forgive his lack of punctuation and spelling out “you” when he has more than enough characters left.
*Joe stills enjoys the company of men, but one day, Jordin. One day.
Open your damn eyes!
Joe says his solo cd will be comprised of dance music as “The dance element is where my heart is.”.
No comment.
Hated
Lady Gaga
*Where do I start? She comes out in an egg like something out of “The Fly”
I don’t even think that’s her in there.
She continued it onstage
Before launching into the worst song I’ve heard since Rihanna’s “S&M’. “Born This Way” is terrible. Not just terrible, turrible. It’s like a car wreck in my ears. I think the goal is to make it the new gay anthem,
but hasn’t the gay community suffered enough? Must she foist this song on them?
Then she’s dressed like something out of The Running Man in the audience
Hayley Williams of Paramore in Jeremy Scott. Remember that name so you can avoid it.
The only thing more scandalous than this look is the alleged treatment of the band’s former guitarist/co-founder who recently left the group.
Miley Cyrus in Cavalli
*Horrid. I hear she was sidebobbing all over the place in this dress, but who could notice through this mess of a zebra print dress.
Her Clive Davis party dress was an improvement, but not by much
Her daddy is crying in GQ over how “Hannah Montana” cost him his family. Billy Ray Cyrus says that he’s being set up as the fall guy for the yes people in Miley’s life because people wrongly assume he’s profited off his daughter, something he says is not true. I think it’s a father regretting that he really can’t control his daughter anymore. Which is hard for any parent, but when you add in the trap of fame and how quickly it could get a kid out of control, it’s a valid concern. I always wondered about the parent/child dynamic when the child is the cash cows. Years ago Miley’s parents said they’d never let her move out before she was eighteen, but she moved out when she hit 17, telling an interviewer that she “got around” their rule that she couldn’t move out early.
Leona Lewis looking like 80s Barbie
Lenny Kravitz
*He could still get it. But I’d rather he grow his hair out first. Then he can get it.
Katy Perry in Giorgio Armani
*I’m hoping Giorgio only came up with the bejeweled bra and not the rest of it. It looks like she took her grandma’s curtains and decided to play dress up on the red carpet.
Sorry, Katy’s grandma.
She went with a more classic look at Clive Davis’ party, but I don’t like her Morticia Addams hair.
Fashionwise, I think she has more wins than fashion missteps. I love how people dress her.
This is how Lois Lane looks in my mind.
Jenna Ushkowitz in Pamela Dennis
*I love the length, but that’s about it. The bow adds an unnecessary touch to a dress that’s already a shambles.
Ciara in Pucci
*I hate the black heels with this dress, the entire dress should’ve been a darker blue. Actually the dress should’ve been in one design: either flowing or a cut-out sleeker fit.
I, however, loved her mini-dress at the Clive Davis party.
Florence Welch in Givenchy
*I hate the sheer bottom, and the sleeves with the swan feathers would look more dramatic if they were longer.
The Rest
Mya. A bit much, but a great look and fit.
Jewel in Pamella Roland
*Nice color, nice shape, but overall a plain look.
Jennifer Lopez in Pucci
I’m just amazed at her body, so she gets points for that.
But it’s not as amazing as her dress at the FOX Golden Globes afterparty.
Pregnant Kate Hudson in a cut-out dress
Barbara Davis
*Proud grandmother of Jason Davis who coined the phrase “firecrotch” against his frenemy Lindsay Lohan and Brandon Davis the real life Jabba the Hut who was in this past season of “Celebrity Rehab” being a total prick to everyone.
Nicki Minaj in Givenchy
*If not for the tower o’ hair, I’d probably like this more.
Janella Monae.
*The first time I saw this look I thought it was brilliant. Now it’s derivative. She needs to change it up a bit. She can still retain the retro Stomping at the Savoy look, but go another route.
Janelle at the Clive Davis party
*I like the departure from the blazer, but she looks like she’s on her way to her second job as nurse in the army.
Beyonce and Janelle
Whitney Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina
Barry Manilow and Lorna Luft
Martina McBride
*She tried to jazz it up with the bracelet, but it’s too sedate.
Lea Michele in Emilio Pucci
She didn’t fare any better at the Barbra Streisand Tribute for MusicCares
Lea looked better at the Golden Globes (with “True Grit”s Hallie Steinfeld
Ted Casablanca wrote a piece saying that the “Glee” cast members spurned Lea at the Grammys. Probably an exaggeration, but nice to read.
Other “Glee” costars performed at the tribute.
*Matt Morrison and Kristin Chenowith
Darren Criss for OUT magazine
Looking like “Where’s Waldo”
They are singing really hard
These pictures remind me that Willow Smith is only ten-years old
Willow and Drake. Maybe she’s a fan of Degrassi. Maybe his eyebrows remind her of Bert on “Sesame Street”
Jamie Foxx and Keith Urban. Is that a tat peeking out from Keith’s suit coat? Oh, Nicole traded WAY up.
Guitar great Jeff Beck or the love child of Steven Tyler and KISS’ Paul Stanley?
The Performances
Mick Jagger showed the kids how it’s done. When the lights came on to reveal him, draped in a cape I got goosebumps.
Mick sang a tribute to Solomon Burke and was accompanied by an enthusiastic Raphael Saadiq on guitar.
Bob Dylan with The Avett Bros.
*I didn’t see it, but I heard it was good.
Usher, Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith
*I admit I liked the performance (though I did find it a bit weird when talking about when they met, Justin, almost in a whisper said to Usher, “You said if it’s meant to be, we’d see each other again.”). Justin has really stepped up his dancing. Usher doesn’t challenge himself IMO, he’s doing “Rhythm Nation” for 2011 instead of inventing is own moves, but he does it well.
Katy Perry
*Didn’t like her first song but I found it touching that she used her wedding video as a backdrop. That was very sweet.
Rihanna with Enimem & Drake
*Loved the dress. Loved the set with Eminem, Dre and Rihanna, hated her song with Drake the way I hate glass embedded in my hand.
Rihanna is being sued by photographer David LaChappelle over her video for “S&M”. LaChappelle is suing for unspecified damages, but says her video copied the "composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colors, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting"of his work.
True.
But I wonder if it has any merit? It’s an homage. It’s not like she’s using this for financial gain. Whose to say that Paula Abdul shouldn’t have been sued for copying “Rebel Without a Cause” in the “Rush Rush” video. Or Madonna for copying “Gentleman Prefer Blondes” in “Material Girl”.
Cee-Lo Green with Gwyneth Paltrow
*I loved it. You can’t get any more vanilla than Gwyneth, but it was nice seeing her showing the stage presence she should’ve bought to her role in “Country Strong”.
*I thought the sound quality of the Arcade Fire was way off, but I still love “Ready to Start” (thanks tragicllyhip for recommending it and getting me obsessed with it.
*Barbra Streisand was great, but I thought it odd that she’d do her own tribute. Also, she looks superb, but why does Kris Kristofferson looks so ragged?
*B.O.B, Janelle Monae and Bruno Mars were really good, but I expected something more. Same with John Mayer, Norah Jones and Keith Urban. But I don’t think John could beat the Grammys collabo he did two(?) years ago with John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae of “Gravity”.
*I don’t know why they didn’t let Christina Aguilera do the Aretha Franklin tribute by herself since she attempted (and maybe succeeded) in blowing Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Addams, Florence Welch and Martina McBride out the water.
~S1 of “The Vampire Diaries” is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy and Target for $18.99. If you can’t get enough of balding Damon and Willem Dafoe Jr Stefan, you can check out their creepy dolls that will be on display at Toy Fair 2011
These dolls will come to life and brood you to death.
~Kristin Kreuk’s fansite posted pictures of KK partying it up.
Don’t worry; it’s just a hookah
~With A.J Cook already off the show, there may be more changes at “Criminal Minds”. Paget who was supposed to go to reduced status could still be full time next season, but has done a pilot in case she decides to leave the show. Contract negotiations are upcoming for Shemar Moore and Thomas Gibson.
~Despite all of Kevin Reilly’s sure talking at the TCAs about “Fringe”, Airlock Alpha reports the show has slipped to a series low-30% off from last year. Despite the ratings slip nosedive, the site says it could be renewed for 2011-2012, but that Warners Bros. would reduce the licensing fee to continue production.
The site also states that SPN is down 16% from last year and that it loses an average of 13% of SV’s audience (SV is up 7% this year). So…take that Jensen!
*Wentworth Miller may return to TV. He and Orlando Jones (“Mad TV”, “Evolution”) are up for the ABC pilot, “Identities” which is about “an elite police unit formed to combat the explosion of identity-related crime,”
He has also just signed up for the indie film “Analog”. Described as a film that deals with a man who is having trouble adapting to our increasingly digital world. In this case, the focus will be on Miller’s troubled, introverted genius, who his stumbling through life looking for love, but for all his intelligence, just can’t find that special someone.
Wentworth’s film “Stoker” is getting a big boost in the casting of Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.
*“The Vampire Diaries” Uncle Werewolf, Taylor Kinney has been cast in Michael Patrick King (co-creator of “Sex in the City”) in the drama “Mann’s World”. The show focuses on a womanizing hairdresser (Kinney) and the older hairdresser he usurps (Don Johnson has auditioned for the role).
Uncle Werewolf I miss your sexiness
*Lovely accented Jack Davenport is returning to TV! Jack has joined the pilot for NBC’s “Smash”, which is based on an idea by Steven Spielberg. The concept is like “Glee” where a “a cross section of characters who come together to put on a Marilyn Monroe musical on Broadway led by the musical's composer Tom and lyricist Julia (played by Debra Messing). Jack will play Derek, the choreographer. Singer Katherine McPhee was also added to the cast.
Jack was also offered the lead in “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry’s pilot “Hallelujah”, but the role went to Jesse L. Martin.
“Hallelujah” is “set in the town of Hallelujah, Tenn., which is being torn apart by the forces of good and evil and whose fortunes change when a stranger comes to town, bringing justice, peace and possibly restoring faith.”
*Stockard channing has joined Ron Moore (executive producer of “Battlestar Galatica”s pilot “17th Precinct. The show “is set in the fictional town of Excelsior where magic and supernatural elements rule over science.” The pilot also stars Battlestar vet Jamie Bamber.
*”Lost” alumnis are working: Brotha Desmond, Henry Ian Cusick has joined the cast of Shonda Rhimes pilot starring Kerry Washington and Columbus Short. Nestor Carbonell is set to co-star opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar in the CBS drama pilot Ringer. The project centers on troubled young woman Bridget (Gellar) who, while on the run from the mob, hides out by inhabiting the life of her wealthy. Ken Leung (Miles) also secured a pilot for A&E titled “Big Mike” starring “Heroes” Greg Grunberg and “Soul Foods” (lucky wife of Boris Kodjoe) Nicole Ari Parker . The concept of the show is “a drama pilot, about "a plus-sized detective in a world where plus-sized is a minus (dawnybee: So unlike he real world!)." He'll play Bernie Li, an old-neighborhood friend of Mike O'Bannon (Grunberg) and his partner Armando Romero who became the San Diego Police Department's doctor so he could keep a watchful eye on his best friends. Ed Decter and John Strauss are behind the project, which comes from the Sony Pictures Television-based Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler’s production company).
