Grammy Awards 2009 Grammy No B: Jay-Z There’s this blowhard host on the local Vancouver sports talk radio show who keeps complaining about today’s music. Typical Canadian rock’n’roll beer dude. Completely ignorant about music other than what’s played on his own small little block. Last week he was discussing Springsteen at the By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 06:39 am
Bad Style Grammy Gold & Tacky: Carrie Underwood She changed like 10 times the entire night. And every time it was the ass. If you want to rank the ass in order of worst to not so bad but still bad, #1 being the most horrid, I’d say it was the arrivals gold borrowed straight from Dolly By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 06:31 am
Bad Style Grammy Sex Change: LeAnn Rimes Pick one: * LeAnn Rimes looks great * LeAnn Rimes looks like greasy sh-t but still girly * LeAnn Rimes looks like greasy sh-t man dressing up like a woman I choose option 3. That grown out perm is straight out of the trailer park. And her dress is wrinkled. And, oh yeah, By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 06:19 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Grammy Hardcore: M.I.A. She shared the stage with Jay-Z, Kanye, T.I. (yeah baby), and Lil Wayne on her due date. Please. So what if she was singing with a backing track? You don’t want to mess with M.I.A. And both her outfits were so damn cute! The pregnant woman’ By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 05:54 am
Quiveration Grammy Radiohead Thom Yorke’s is a surprising kind of sexy, non? Sneaks up on you, surprises you, at first you’re like – who is this odd little man? By the end of it you’re like – musical genius if you seek Amy…? Last night it was a clinic. An introduction for By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 05:34 am
Grammy Awards 2009 Grammy Strain: Coldplay It’s not that we’re not Coldplay fans. We are! We own Coldplay everything: every album, every dvd, we’ve seen them five or six times in concert – first two albums totally, second two albums meh… And we know Chris Martin can sing. Just … why does he sing so By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 05:21 am
Grammy Awards 2009 Grammy Vagina Virgins: The Jonas Brothers As mentioned before, the little one, if I had to pick, is my favourite. I can hear my friends groaning already – of course he is, they’d say. Don’t even bother, Duana! I’m not hearing you! But seriously, the little one – Nick? – he’s the cutest and is By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 04:50 am
Bad Style Grammy Budget: Sheryl Crow She hasn’t had much success on red carpets, has she? Remember a few years ago with Lance Armstrong she showed up in a bright yellow gown with her stomach cut out? This one isn’t much better. This one looks like it’s been washed and dried. You know By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 04:28 am
Grammy Awards 2009 Grammy Whitney Whitney Houston performed at Clive Davis’s party on Saturday night and while her voice, understandably, has suffered, by all accounts she was captivating on stage, as she assured the crowd: “I got it, I got it”. Great news, of course. But also… let me be the bitch … there is By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 04:07 am
Award Season Hair 2009 Best Grammy Hair: Jennifer Hudson OK so the best hair shots of JHud are actually from Saturday night at the Clive Davis Party. But how can you deny this hair? If I could pull off this hair, I totally would. But my Chinese people hair won’t go like this without an hour of work By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 03:50 am
Award Season Hair 2009 Worst Grammy Hair: Paula Abdul She could qualify for worst everything actually but we’ll spread the hate around and focus, for now, on the 6 story apartment building attached to her head – a flagrant violation of the laws of proportion, if such a thing exists. And if it doesn’t, it should. The problem By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 03:36 am
Bad Style The Grammys 2009 Like I said last week, Coldplay is fortunate they did not perform after Radiohead. Because in their first Grammy live performance, Radiohead owned everyone’s ass. And my Gwyneth introduced them! Her smugness must be killing you… So there were some sucky sh-t performances, and then there were the ones By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 03:28 am
Rihanna On Rihanna and Chris Brown You must know by now but just in case, and because there are so many strands of information flooding in, a quick recap first: Rihanna and Chris Brown attended the Clive Davis party together on Saturday night. By all accounts, they were happy, very affectionate, betraying no signs of what By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 03:12 am
Gorgessity BAFTA Brange The Jolie did not wear a robe. And she did not wear all black. Surprised? Me too. It was mostly black but there was also an aggressive yellow arrow breaking up the darkness. And she really did smolder last night. There was a way about Angelina at the BAFTAs that By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 02:11 am
BAFTA 2009 BAFTA Unspoiled: Dev Patel Please let him stay this way – so humble and grateful and eager and sweet. Here’s Dev Patel at the BAFTAs riding the incredible wave, and still as amazed as he was 2 months ago when this thing took off. Dev is adorable! Did you see him on The Daily By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 02:02 am
Bad Style BAFTA Recycle: Freida Pinto Oh Freida. Another major awards show, another disappointing choice. I worry for our Freida. The colour… not crazy about how it washes her out. And the dress – it’s an Oscar de la Renta but it may as well be Dior two years ago. Both Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore By Lainey • Feb 09, 2009 01:57 am
