In case you don’t know, winning a Grammy is sort of similar to winning the superlative for “like the most coolest, most awesome, most fabulous person EVER!!!” in your 12th grade yearbook.
The Grammy Award is one of, if not the most prestigious award to win in music. Unlike the American Music Awards or MTV’s Video Music Awards, feathered boas and pasties aren’t exactly appropriate attire. Artists don their Lorraine Schwartz jewels and their vintage haute-couture gowns and put their classiest act forward.
So naturally, when I read that Amy Winehouse is up for six Grammy noms (including both record and album of the year), one must wonder how a girl who is too drugged out to function will manage to:
a) Dress appropriately
b) Give a speech in the event that she wins
c) Actually show up (and not be totally obliterated)
The Grammy’s just got so much more exciting don’t you think??
Kanye is leading the pack with 8 nominations, and others up for awards include Justin Timberlake (What Goes Around Comes Around), Beyonce (Irreplaceable), Rhianna (Umbrella-ella… that song is STILL in my head) and Plain White T’s (Hey There Delilah… and that song STILL annoys me). Read More »
As if we all needed yet another reason why Beyonce is obnoxious, watch one minute and two seconds worth of self-indulgent crap.
The ad wizards for American Express could have easily gone with a cute and fun idea like they did with Ellen’s version, but their new commercial featuring the ex Destiny’s Child star is gag worthy.
Now, let’s all throw one big, giant pity party for our girl B, cause, you know…flying to Madrid on a private jet to do a dance rehearsal, breaking a pump, wearing a designer gown that costs a bajillion dollars, these are all really unfortunate things that we can all relate to.
Good thing you have that laptop and tons of money in your American Express account, or else you wouldn’t have been able to buy a boomerang! Phew!
Let’s face it. In order to be a female musician, it’s a prerequisite nowadays to be considered hot. Unlike the guys, who can get away with looking like this or this and gorgeous girls will still screw them, women are a completely different story. It’s just the way things go.
So, with all of the ladies putting countless records out, who is the hottest? And what makes a “hot” female singer? There are dozens of lists of opinions; everybody’s got one. I happened to stumble upon one that caught my eye, if for no other reason than Madonna isn’t on it for once (I don’t care how “in shape” she is, people – she looks like hell. Eat a hot dog, woman).
Shoutmouth.com lists their countdown of the 50 Hottest Women in Music, and it goes by 7 different rules:
Rule #1 (The Madonna Rule): This list is based on recent hotness. It doesn’t matter how hot an artist was back in the ‘80s. It’s 2007. What have you done for us lately?
Rule #2 (The Hayden Panettiere Rule): To qualify for this list, an artist must be over 18 years of age. We only objectify of-age women here.
Rule #3 (The Newcomer Rule): Each artist must have released at least one full-length album prior to August 1st, 2007 in order to qualify.
Yup, the list is out. MTV’s annual VMA noms have been released, and the list looks a little…repetitive, if I do say so myself.
And um, lame. Did I mention lame?
Of course you’ve got your Kanye and Justin, Rihanna pops up a lot, and at least there’s a little justice in this world- Amy Winehouse is on the list, but did someone fail to notice that the Plain White T’s, Hey There Delilah came out last year? This year’s “sudden hit” was a re-release. Cheap. Read More »
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: summer ain’t over until the school bell rings.
Before you dive headfirst into college orientation, that sophomore year daze-fest, junior year 300-level-class hell, and senior year craziness, do yourself a favor and recharge, reenergize, and take some time for yourself.
A perfect way to spend some lovely “me” time is to venture out to the beach by your lonesome. Read More »
At first I was like, Alright, Beyonce! Love yourself! Sing about how you’re independent and don’t need a man and pay all your own bills. Work those gold sparkly outfits! Give those interviewers a piece of your mind! Be strong! Yeah!
But now, I’m not so sure.
Like this blog on EW.com, I’m strangely over Beyonce, and I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s because she seems to have everything, and it’s hard for me—a poor grad student with no boyfriend and no movie offers and definitely no gold sequined dresses—to completely connect with her.
So maybe it’s jealousy.
Or it could be the fact that her last hit “Irreplaceable” had such potential to be a strong woman song, but only succeeded in being an anthem for chicks who like to jump from one relationship to another: “You must not know about me / I could have another you in a minute / matter fact he’ll be here in a minute – baby”.
So maybe I’m just sick of the lyrics she sings (but doesn’t write). Read More »
Ah, Celebrities. You know everything about them… their hairstyles, their bra sizes and even their favorite drugs of choice. But how well do you know their badonkadonks???
Here are 21 celebrity backsides, from the Ohh-La-La, to the Oh, My God- we’ve got ‘em all. Click on a tush to find its’ rightful owner.
Here is the list: (Beyonce, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Jessica Biel, Jessica Simpson, Bai Ling, Sharon Stone, Cameron Diaz, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Katherine Heigl, Giselle Bundchen, Fergie, Gwen Stefani, Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Mischa Barton, Kate Hudson, Carmen Electra, Avril Lavigne and Mr. Ed.)
After a month of good-bye dinners with friends, hungover brunches at the local diners following those last precious nights of college craziness, and constant drinking leading up to graduation, my body hated me to say the least. I was determined that the month spent at home would be for detox and include strict dieting and exercise to get my health somewhat back on track before venturing out into the real world.
I’m proud to say that I have kept my diet and exercise up for the past week and a half and am already feeling ten times better. While looking into all sorts of diets, I came across one that was particularly interesting, the Master Cleanse Diet.
Remember when Beyonce looked bangin’ for Dreamgirls? Well she lost twenty pounds in a matter of weeks doing this “cleanse,” so it garnered a lot of media attention and was even written about in The New York Times. To be honest, for 2 seconds I considered trying it for fabulous results, then realized what actually went into it. Read More »
There’s something to be said about looking sweet when you’re about to be getting down and dirty. I think it harks back to the male fantasy of the hidden sexpot—a woman transformed from a squeaky clean innocent to a saucy little minx with a heavy dose of manly seduction.
That’s the optimistic view. The scandalous theory is that men are inherently creeps who all have a little Humbert in them and when you dress in cute little outfits like a coed Lolita, they get all hot and bothered. I prefer to stick with the sexpot idea…for obvious reasons.
So if you’re in the mood for a pair of frilly little underpinnings guaranteed to make him sweat, look no further than Rumba boy shorts from Honeydew Intimates.
They are an intimate masterpiece, with the body of the shorts made of mesh (the tasteful kind), covered in layers of thin ruffles, in cute prints like apples, bananas, cherries, pineapples, watermelons, and strawberries—like a lingerie fruit salad or something. Plus, the shorts are topped off with a dainty satin bow and look great on all body types from you Nicole Richie types (she’s modeling the shorts in a Vanity Fair shot above) to ladies with curves like Beyonce.
At only $16 bucks a pop you can afford to get a couple of pairs.
The 2008 Grammy nominees were recently announced.
At first I was like, Alright, Beyonce! Love yourself! Sing about how you’re independent and don’t need a man and pay all your own bills. Work those gold sparkly outfits! Give those interviewers a piece of your mind! Be strong! Yeah!
