Hook Ups Grammy Off Key I still love her. Still admire her. Am still down with her talent, her capability, her attitude, her work. But can we all concede she’s not strong on vocals? On the night when she should have been backing up her wins and nominations with some vocals, the vocals totally By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 04:05 am
Amazingness Grammy Gaga + Elton “How wonderful life is, with Gaga in the world." I liked her, and then I saw her live. And that’s when you know. She’s so sublimely absurd, ridiculous, campy, and the theatricality of it all is so intoxicating, so amusing, so ENTERTAINING, so cleverly ironic, you cannot By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 03:41 am
Style Grammy Favourite Dress It’s controversial. We will fight. I know this. But Katy Perry’s Zac Posen was my best. It was cheeky and flattering and looked like nipple pasties with sequins but on her, it was a perfect choice. The detail is exquisite, and well, there’s something about this relationship By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 03:14 am
Style Grammy Sasha Fierce Three changes, none of them Tina Knowles, no Dereon for the Grammys. The result was three different, three good looks. The first during arrivals was a skin tight Stephane Rolland, exquisitely detailed, and then a badass black leather Versace for Sasha Fierce’s performance, and then Celine Dion’s dress By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 02:52 am
Sports Grammy Country B and the Senator He rushed to LA to be by her side after Hockey Day in Canada as the Senators schedule conveniently allowed for Mike Fisher to join his fiancée for Grammy weekend where they made their official Hollywood debut. However, Carrie Underwood walked the carpet alone, telling Ryan Seacrest that she didn’ By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 02:29 am
Style Grammy GLEE It was good. Finally Lea Michele picked a dress appropriate for the occasion, for her age, and for her status. She looked great. But holy Posh, the poseharding is epic. She also doesn’t seem to like wearing her hair up either, Jennifer Aniston. And there’s a slight new By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 02:01 am
Grammy Awards 2010 Grammy Short-Off It is my professional duty to care about Justin Bieber. And he’s Canadian which means the caring is multiplied by 5 to satisfy Canadian Content requirements. Michelle assures me this will only last another year. Is that longer or shorter than Jersey Shore? Please let it be over. Also By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 01:50 am
Amazingness No Grammy lunging What? This is what happens when you make Celine Dion share the stage. She doesn’t have enough room to lunge! Celine of course performed during the MJ tribute with Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and the Country Bitch. She could have also performed during the Haiti piece with Mary J Blige By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 01:12 am
Bad Style Grammy Spanx Jennifer Lopez in Versace but really it was silver body Spanx with a white curtain on top. And, ironically, not very flattering. In some of these shots it’s like she has a phantom leg. Some of you even suggested, from a blurry distance, she could have been Celine Dion. By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 12:50 am
Style Grammy one year later Like I said earlier, I’m not interested in a Rihanna who shows up in someone I would wear. Or something you would wear. Why would Rihanna ever wear anything we would wear? This is absurd. And so is judging her style according to the standards of what we would By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 12:31 am
Grammy Awards 2010 Chicken Fried Grammy In many ways, this made me more sad than her bald head. Because it’s like she showed up completely unaware that the last five years just happened. Britney arrived and there was a commotion and she didn’t wear pants and then I totally forgot about her the rest By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 12:23 am
Grammy Awards 2010 The Grammy Awards 2010 DRAKE! This is a homer sentiment because I am from the 416, and Drake has not been shy about spreading the Toronto love, and all of us from Toronto were fist pumping for our boy who ran the stage last night at the Grammys, delivering the final performance with Lil By Lainey • Feb 01, 2010 12:12 am
Maple Leaf Free hands, no pockets We run on weekends in the endowment lands, a forest in Vancouver with great trails and light hills and the most beautiful trees, and a section that looks like the ewok territory from Return of the Jedi. I used to go alone, with Marcus, but Fiona and head up there By Lainey • Jan 29, 2010 12:35 pm
Smutty Surgery The more you fight it… The worse it gets? That would seem to be the case for Madonna. Without the lighting and the makeup and the retouching, Madonna is not what you see in the Dolce & Gabbana ads. The issue is not that we age. The issue is that she’s fighting that bitch By Lainey • Jan 29, 2010 08:10 am
Style Emily’s coat She’s in London promoting The Wolfman. I have nothing to say except this coat is making me crazy. Love it so much. Although you probably have to be a tiny person to wear it. And the tights and the shoes, the style so far on this press tour has By Lainey • Jan 29, 2010 05:44 am
Quiveration So much better when it moves Nicole Kidman’s face, but this also applies to Colin Firth’s hair. As you know, it’s never a terrible thing to see Colin in a tux. But my one complaint about him during awards season has been the hairspray. He is so much sexier with hair that moves. By Lainey • Jan 29, 2010 04:28 am
