Monday Mashup: Grammy Edition x 2

By |February 14th, 2011|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap|

Let’s first talk about how obnoxious it was that the West Coast had a delayed viewing of the Grammy’s.  I already knew who wore what and who won what before seeing a second of footage.  So basically, I watched the Grammy’s twice.  This theme carried throughout the entire evening.  Seemed that everything was coming in pairs- aka- twice the pain.

The “buzz” for the evening was Lady Gaga arriving to the awards in an egg.  Yep, an egg.  Apparently, she was “incubating.”  I mean… I can’t.  I give people credit for being different, but sometimes trying too hard to be “different” merely makes you the same as everyone else.  I don’t want to point out the obvious, but that performance by Gaga was pretty reminiscent of a very “materialistic” pop icon who was once known for being “innovative” herself.  So, now I turn to you Nicki Minaj.  What are you trying to pull?  Why must you try so hard to shock us with these crazy get ups?  If you’re going to attempt to catch our attention, you’re gonna have to work a wee bit harder when you’ve got Lady Gaga walking the same red carpet as you.

A group of incredibly talented and lovely ladies paid tribute to the amazingly talented  Aretha Franklin.  While they did a fantastic job rounding up gals with some serious pipes, you can’t help but notice that Christina Aguilera blew them all out of the water.  It’s a good thing that Ms. Aguilera is talented because the way she’s been looking lately is just frightening.  I can’t help but think she looks a lot like a certain pork filled childhood pal…

Okay, so Snooki will never actually look like JLo.  However, Jenny from the Block may want to make sure her stylist isn’t moonlighting as Snooki’s stylist, which is very possible because Snookster looks a lot better than her usual hamster self.

Besties Katy Perry (in Armani) and Rihanna (in Jean Paul Gaultier) opted for white.  Both also opted to look like they were wearing costumes.  Katy is clearly an angel (see the wings?) and RiRi is most obviously a furry white caterpillar, duh. Guuuuys… this is the GRAMMY’s, not Halloween!

So basically, Natasha Bedingfield is wearing Ciara’s dress pre-run-in with weed wacker.

One of these things is not like the others.  One of these things just isn’t the same…  Give up?  Well, everyone here has a talent EXCEPT one.  Still stuck?

Oh… well, that’s just awkward.

So, while, I did tune into the Grammy’s this evening, I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t.  Lucky for me, I DVR’ed it.  So, in reality, I could watch it a third time.

Monday Mashup: Play to Win

By |February 7th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, as many of you know, this past weekend was the Superbowl (um, go Steelers?).  While the Superbowl just used to be something my dad got excited about, it has now turned into yet another opportunity for celebrities to show up at yet another red carpet event and get their pictures taken.  I mean, why not?

Leading up to the big game, there were parties galore for these celebs to mix, mingle, and collect more photo credits.  Here are two lovely young ladies who did just that:

Brooklyn Decker and Anne Vyalitsyna both attended star studded pre-superbowl festivities with their boos.  While they are both leggy blonde models with mega star significant others, one came prepared and the other looked like she didn’t even know she was playing the game (kind of like the Packers and the Steelers).  Listen, just cause you’re a supermodel (or you’ve won six Superbowls) doesn’t mean you can just show up and expect to win.  Being a winner takes a lot more than just showing up.

I get that Andy and Brooklyn own a residence somewhere in Texas, so perhaps Andy told Brooklyn they were just running out to pick up some wings and beer, but her sequin shorts lead me to believe that she was well aware they were headed somewhere fancy.  My point is this: Brooklyn, you are notthatfamous.com to show up at a star studded event looking as if you just awoke from an afternoon nap.  Take a note from Anne and step your game up.  Steelers, I’m talking to you in riddles.

Better luck next year…

Monday Mashup: Oh me, Oh my, Oh Pumpkin Pie.

By |January 25th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

I can not lie.  I love to watch The Bachelor.  Something about watching fifteen crazy women compete for the love of one (somewhat crazy) man is a recipe for sheer entertainment.  Call me a sociologist, but I love watching human interaction… especially that of the cray cray kind.  I remember thinking that sweet, sweet Emily (a children’s hospital event planner- WTF??!! – from Charlotte, North Carolina) was a force to be reckoned with… until tonight.  I’m not sure what the hell is happening in that bachelorette (hen) house, but something bad happened.  Week by week, the girls get drunker, crazier, and somehow oranger.  Perhaps they should check the vents? Maybe even check where the closest power plant is located cause something ain’t right.  Maybe I need to fix the settings on my TV, but I think Brad may want to invest in some protective radioactive clothing.

It’s the final rose. Who should get it?

Ladies, if you did not receive a rose, please take a moment and say “goodbye.”

Monday Mashup: Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street?

By |December 27th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

So, while we all suffer through a blizzard, Miss Paris Hilton frolicked on the beaches of Hawaii this past week.  She’s been much more low key these days (thank heavens) and here I am dragging her back into the spotlight.  Well, whatever. I couldn’t help but think that P. Hilton has a striking resemblance to one of our favorite childhood characters… Big Bird!  Since, I know that Paris is far too young to be moonlighting as Mr. Bird, himself, I started to wonder is this her Aunt Kim? I mean… she did say (repeatedly) she was a child star…

Monday Mashup: Taylor’s Got Options

By |December 20th, 2010|Monday Mashup|

Speaking of twins…

Some people are a little skeptical of Swyllenhall/TayJay/Gyllenswift’s new budding romance and I can see why. Experienced Hollywood actor courting sweet, sweet American girl?  Has her next country platinum single written all over it. Well, luckily for Tay Tay, she has options. After seeing Love and Other Drugs a few weeks ago, we started trying to figure out what other movies Jake had been in. Was it Spiderman? Brokeback Mountain? Win a Date with Tad Hamilton? Wait… are there three guys playing the same roles?

So basically, my point is this… if Jake doesn’t work out, looks like there are two other gentleman who I’m sure would be willing to fill in. Is that what it’s like to be a Hollywood agent?
