The Grammys Celebrate 50 Years

With performances by Beyonce and Tina Turner, Rihanna, Kanye's emotional tribute to his "mama," and Amy Winehouse's much-anticipated (via-satellite) performance, (not to mention her shout-out to incarcerated hubby Blake) the Grammys were definitely something to tune into last night.

Although not present in L.A., but rather in her hometown of London, Winehouse almost had a clean sweep, winning five out of the six awards she was nominated for, including record of the year, song of the year, and best new artist.

Kanye dominated the Grammys as well, winning four awards, including best rap album and best rap solo performance. Not only did he pay tribute to his late mother Donda in song, but also spoke to her in his acceptance speech.

Carrie Underwood went home with two awards, best female vocal performance and best country song for "Before He Cheats" and Alicia Keys, who opened the show singing with a virtual Frank Sinatra, took home the prize for best R&B song for "No One" as well as best female R&B vocal performance.

The last award of the night was given to the very surprised jazz artist Herbie Hancock for album of the year, beating out both Winehouse and West.

Other winners included:
Best male pop vocal performance: Justin Timberlake
Producer of the year, non-classical: Mark Ronson
Best Pop performance by a duo or group with vocals: Maroon 5
Best rock album: Foo Fighters
Best contemporary R&B album: Ne-Yo
Best rap/sung collaboration: "Umbrella," Rihanna featuring Jay-Z
Best male country vocal performance: Keith Urban
Best country album: "These Days," Vince Gill

Katherine Heigl Is A Pretty Pretty Princess

Whoops! I was afraid I broke the blog with my extreme Topshop zeal!

Anyway, I could give a crap about Grey's Anatomy -- I haven't seen an episode in my life, and I probably never will. But I will tell you that Katherine Heigl, shown here at yesterday's premiere of "27 Dresses," which featured 27 women in promotional gowns, is nothing short of totes gorge and glam.

Now, let's get one thing straight: the movie looks like a flaming pile of misery. But KH herself is amazing. I cannot, for the life of me, find out who designed her dress, but she is stunning. She's like Tippi Hedrin, Jayne Mansfield (minus the sluttiness and early death, hopefully!) and Angie Dickinson all rolled into one. And with Tara Reid rolling around looking like this, Amy Winehouse in schmatte after shmatte (by the way, Karl Lagerfeld's "very much" likes her hair), Britney's boobs and bum on perpetual parade, and Posh, who, unsurprisingly, made Mr. Blackwell's worst dressed list, wearing shit like this, Katherine is like a fresh spring crocus peeping up through Tinseltown's festering trash heap!

And dudes, she even looks presh when she's just out shopping for paint:

And finally, her husband is HAWT. She is a pretty pretty princess. The end.

It's Tamron, Bitches! The Celeb Edition!

I'm back, and even more back than Britney, because, let's be real, that weren't much of a comeback. But speaking of celebs, I couldn't resist throwing up a few famous faces, so let's get back to bingeness, shall we?

I actually loved the detailing of the custom-made Alice Temperely dress Nicole Scherzinger wore to the VMAs, but once the eye hits below the waist, it's like you can have mini-dress-length or floor-length, but not both, dear. (Photo via Popsugar.)



While MANY a fashion blogger put the hate out on it, I loved this ethnic-print dress that Beyonce wore to a press conference in Vegas during VMA weekend, but for the LIFE of me, I can't find any mention of who designed it. Any takers??



While Beyonce's VMA dress looked like some pixie-esque Maria Von Trapp yoinked the gold curtains down off the stage of some dusty '40s cabaret, quickly draped them around Beyonce's bootay-licious curves and pushed her out onto the red carpet, her little sister Solange looks like she took a quick trip to the Chanel Factory Seconds Outlet in Crazy Town, somewhere on North Jupiter, Space. She looks like a fucked-up Mars 2112 hostess or something. And while she looks prettier than I remember -- she used to look like the black Haylie Duff -- I attribute this to Dr. 90210.

I absolutely adore this Gucci color-block dress that the always-polished Rachel McAdams, shown here with her brother (who's hot but sorta reminds me of that guy Adam Scott on that new show "Tell Me You Love Me," which I really like so far, and NOT just because it has TONS of sex, though that really helps, but yeah, I can't tell if that guy on that show is hot or not...) wore to the Toronto Film Festive premiere of her new movie, "Married Life." She truly does not need to look thinner, yet the red band of this dress does just that. (Photo via Popsugar.)




OMG. Why the FUCK is Melissa Joan Hart on the red carpet at the VMAs? Is this the same dress she wore to the VMAs in 1992????? I don't care that she had a kid -- there is NO excuse for mom hair!!!!! (Via Popsugar.)




It's quite nice to see Amy Winehouse NOT looking like a career Dumpster diver, yet it's fairly jarring and odd to see her carrying pretty flowers, living things! How did the toxic waste site that is her booze-soaked body not kill them on contact? Anyway, more power to you. Hopefully you'll clean up swiftly and get back to wearing Brownie outfits with live-owl shoulder pads, as in better times.

"Hello? I am actually hot or just hot because I'm on TV?"

O.M.G.

Prepare your mind for the massive attack of cognitive dissonance that will overwhelm it and possibly cause it to a) erupt, b) melt, c) vomit all over your grey matter when you view the following image:


YOU WERE WARNED!

Amy Wineohouse: A Non-Fashion-Related PSA

Oh Amy Winehouse! Girl, no no no! From one boozy Jew to another, PLEASE eat a cheeseburger or something!!! I love your voice, I love that you swear like a trooper, and even though they make you look like a drag queen, I could even learn to love your batwing eyeshadow because it's clearly your way of saying to the world: "Eat me." But I'm NOT loving the track mark chic look!! You look like you've been feeding yourself a steady diet of vodka, coke and air. Someone, please help!

If you haven't yet seen her slur through a shit-faced version of "Beat It," check it out now.
