Did I miss the part where they actually introduced these girls?   I mean, I know the Olympics wasn’t long ago, but we’re used to seeing them all in skintight leotards and the same skinned-back hairstyle.  It’s not like we’re at the point where there’s full facial recognition when they’re dressed like people, especially on a really, really wide shot. Full Story

I liked the Grammy set.  I should have said that.   Did you freak out when they didn’t include Etta James in the In Memoriam package?  A lot of people did.  I assumed that this performance off the top -- one that I bet was in place before all the other events of this weekend -- was supposed to cover that off. Full Story

All around the world I suppose. And of course for celebrities too. I liked Chelsea Clinton’s dress. Don’t love, but like more than I thought I would. Also...wedding thinnification? I hope Alicia Keys will be happy for a long time. I hope their baby arrives safely. I hope. But this dude. Full Story

Chill. I’m not saying engagement and pregnancy make me sad. Of course it’s a wonderful time in Alicia Keys’s life. Just wish there wasn’t a torn family cloud hanging over the news. Because, well, I believe Mashonda. Read Mashonda’s story here Full Story

Not sure what Granny and Kate Hudson were presenting. This is because I was too distracted by Kate’s dress and whether or not she’d end up showing us some nipple. She was cognisant of it too. So she kept fidgeting with her chest, which only made me obsess about it even more. Unfortunately I can’t find the video. Full Story

Drama. Beanie Sigel’s Jay-Z diss track – have you heard it? Beanie is signed to Roc-a-fella and some say he wants out buy Jay won’t let him and that he’s still pissed because Jay didn’t come to see him in prison, and had him removed from his September 11th tribute concert. Full Story

I was a blubbering mess when I saw Whitney at the listening session in New York earlier this summer. Click here to read the article. Whitney’s new album I Look To You is available now. A true superstar declaring that it’s time we stop f-cking around with the pretenders. Full Story

This article will be a novel. I can feel it already. Many of us were introduced to Michael Jackson and Madonna and Prince and Whitney Houston in the 80s – remarkable, iconic artists who totally changed the game. It’s a cliché these days, and even more so in the wake of MJ’s death, but they really don’t make them like they used to anymore. Full Story

I love Alicia Keys. So much. It would kill me if she turned out to be a twat. I interviewed Alicia briefly at the Superbowl in 2008 in Phoenix. Michelle was producing. And I remember both of us, even though our loins were pointed in the direction of John Krasinski, both of us were totally girlcrushing on her. Full Story

This hurts me. Very badly. Because I love her. She is perfect. She is kind and smart and she purrs. Michelle says she purrs when she talks. She can purr in my ear all day. Of course she’s sooooo beautiful too. But the hair, the hair is so obviously a fake, some kind of wig/weave/whatever…it made me sad. Full Story

Here they are: Alicia Keys, Sarah McLachlan, Queen Latifah, and Pink too delivering two of the finer performances of the evening, Sarah’s voice as sweet as ever, and Alicia’s electrifying rendition with Superwoman alongside Latifah and Kathleen Battle. If you haven’t had the pleasure, both videos are below. Full Story

The incomparable Alicia Keys last night at BET – she changed for the performance and the press room. Not really feeling the shells all over her breasts…I prefer her in pink. You? Am also jealous of her small bubbies. Look like how cleanly both dresses sit across her chest. Especially the short little cocktail. Full Story

Alicia Keys was in New York last night at the screening of We Are Together, a documentary about her trip to South Africa working with orphans in 2006. LOVE her. So much. She said the experience has led her to consider adoption, like Angelina Jolie: "I"ve always loved kids. Kids are so important. Full Story

Safe with the dress and creative with the hair and on the carpet, Alicia’s midnight blue absolutely popped on the carpet, though she did look better the night before at Clive Davis’s party. Better, but more generic. And of course Alicia is the only woman who could have found a way to make John Mayer hot…more on that later. Full Story
