Another Emmy award show has come and gone and to be completely honest with you, I was pretty disappointed. I don’t remember if I watched it last year so I might not have anything to compare it to but it was really boring. The opening show was the best part in my book – they took Jimmy Fallon (Who hosted the show), gleeks – Lea Michele, Corey Monteith, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley and Jane Lynch, Tina Fey from 30 Rock, The Soup’s Joel McHale, Jorge Garcia (Hurley from Lost), Mother of 8 Kate Gosselin and last but not least Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries (Love her) – and made them sing and dance – How freaking fantastic was that?
And then the big snore began. But at least we have Fashion to talk about right? Eh. As you will see below there were a lot more misses then hits and even the hits weren’t that jaw dropping gorgeous. So lets start with the best dressed shall we… Taking the #1 place in my book is as always Lea Michele, this girl never disappoints at an award show.
The theme of this award show was navy blue in the lead and white close behind. Lea Michele, Jayma Mays, Jane Krakowski, Padma Lakshmi and Jane Lynch (Although they ended up on the other side of this pretty train) were all sporting this fabulous color. While Kim Kardashian, Rose Byrne, Amber Riley, Elisabeth Moss, Giuliana Rancic, Nina Dobrev, Mariska Hargitay and Claire Danes opted out for the classic white and it’s many shades.
Now lets move on to the worst dressed… The absolute worst was Mindy Kaling from the office. I do not know what that girl was thinking but she looks like she is going to her very own 80′s prom. Newly wed Anna Paquin who always dresses to impress, did not bring it to the Emmy’s. Her Alexander McQueen black satin frock with the gold gladiator shoulders was not working at all and covered up that hot body of hers. Nina Dobrev who I absolutely adore on Vampire Diaries seemed to channel her alter ego Katherine and looked the part in her Victorian one shoulder dress with a leg slit and way too much lace.
Mariska Hargitay looked like she was wearing a wedding dress (Seriously people, it’s a thin line, don’t cross it), Christina Hendricks from Mad Men… gosh what can you say about this one… her red hair and fair skin in a pastel purple gown with feathers; someone really needs to get in there and smack her around a bit because this is not the first time she put her giant gazoongas in an awful outfit and took them for a walk. As much as I love Emily Deschanel, she looks like she was eaten by a giant purple flower. Kerri Russell who is working on a come back with Amy Pohler’s husband needs to bring in Betty White to conduct an Easter egg hunt because those little nubs are in the wrong dress. Now if we put Christina Hendricks in that dress (Since she has the right stuff to fill it out) and change the color to black, she’d look pretty damn good. The Hills’ Lo Bosworth looks like she is going to a PTA meeting and last but not least, Sofia Vergara and Naya Rivera looked like they robbed the Miss Universe pageant.
It seems that only yesterday Oscar winner Sandra Bullock and Monster Garage bad boy, Jesse James, were the epitome of love and happiness. Well that no longer seems to be the case, ever since Jesse James’ alleged booty call, check this… Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, hilarious… Tiger’s girls got nothing on her, that’s for sure. According to Bombshell’s roommate, Lindsay Sinai, James and McGee first met when McGee friend-requested him on MySpace and next thing you know, Jesse was messaging, calling, and asking her to hang out.
Sinai stated that “Their relationship was more like a friendship [with benefits], nothing was ever said about a future. Once she did realize that they (Jesse and Sandra) were together, there was a lot of regret there.” Sinai was also told by Bombshell that James asked McGee for “dirty pictures” a few times, but that most of his texts were “innocent”.
So I’m thinking, every time one of these scandals are going to surface up, are we going to compare them to Tiger Woods and his team of trollops? Because I was looking at all the facts, and immediately started thinking… oh it’s not that bad. I mean there was only one girl, his text messages were “innocent”, it wasn’t that serious and it only happened a few times. Wait a minute… What’s wrong with me??? No one is going to beat Tiger Woods and his sexual escapades!!! This supposed “reformed” bad boy gets his act cleaned up for a few years and suddenly he can do no wrong? He cheated on Sandra Bullock for God’s sake!!! One of the most beautiful, successful and wweet people in America! She doesn’t deserve this.
When this story first unraveled, the first thing I heard was that Sandra Bullock canceled her London appearance promoting her Oscar-winning movie and moved out of the couple’s home due to Jesse James’ infidelity. Then, Jesse made a public apology to his wife and his three kids from previous marriages:
“There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me, It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve every bad thing that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them, I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me. The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.”
Some say, it is the workings of the “Best Actress Oscar” curse. It seems that almost every Best Actress Oscar win in past years was followed by a major break-up. First Julia Roberts and Benjamin Brett divorced in 2001 after she received the reward for Erin Brockovich. Second was Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for Monster’s Ball, and shortly there after her marriage to musician Eric Bennett was over due to infidelity. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise split two years before she won her Best Actress award for The Hours in 2003. In 2004 Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend split after Theron received her award for Monster. Hilary Swank took her turn when she split from hubby Chad Lowe, only a year after receiving Best Actress in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. Reese Witherspoon walked out on Ryan Phillippe after 7 years, two kids and an award for Walk The Line, when rumors that Phillippe had an affair with fellow actress Abbie Cornish. And last but not least, Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes just announced that they were splitting up.
So the question on every ones mind is… what’s next? Will the Academy Award curse take another victim or will Sandy and Jesse work through his infidelity and try to save their marriage? One thing’s for certain… this is not the first or the last celebrity scandal.
You didn’t think I would really let the Oscars rest without announcing the worst dressed did you? Well, I’m not. I did want to watch the Fashion police before I made my final decision to see if we agree but unfortunately we do not. Don’t get me wrong, their worst dressed is on my list as well (Ahm.. Charlize Theron) but I don’t think that she was the worst of the worst. So let’s get down to business and start going down the line:
Sarah Jessica Parker, I’m sorry honey but you look like a tampon. And not just a regular tampon, one of those silky gentle glide ones. Diane Kruger totally missed the target this time, and by target I mean chicken coup. Vera Farmiga, you may have starred aside one of Hollywood’s leading men, but didn’t stop you from wrapping a giant fuchsia table cloth around you did it. Oh Zoe Saldana in Givenchy couture, you make me so sad. I really really like you but you look like giant purple piniata full of sparkles and rainbows. Maggie Gyllenhaal is getting ready to eat some sushi and Charlize Theron got two cinnabuns on her boobies (Thanks for that Joan).
Here’s another thing I wanted to mention. Dear celebrities, please make sure you call each other and verify what everyone’s wearing before you show up looking like this… Thank you.
I really really like Amanda Seyfried (Mostly due to Dear John, thank you for making me cry my eyes out) but both her and Jennifer Lopez (Which by the way was a best dressed nominee on Fashion Police) looked like they were wearing that cellophane stuff, you know the stuff you wrap your valuables in when you move. Oh and Mariah Carey and Gabourey Sidibe. It’s not that they looked bad, it’s just that they didn’t look that great. Granted Gaby looks the best she has ever looked in her porn “money dress” but I could definitely go without Mariah’s ‘Picked it at up at Ross on my way here’ dress. You’re not that skinny any more girl, deal with it.
I know I always write only about what the girls are wearing. What can I say, I am a girl, and when I see pretty dresses my eyes get really wide and I start to drool a little bit. So this time I would like to show you exactly why I never write about the guys.
The picture to the left here, is the reason why. BORING! Some of the hottest stars like Chris Pine, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner, Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler showed up sporting a black tux with a black bow tie. Common people… you have billion of dollars and you can’t get anymore creative than a black tux and a black bow-tie?
And they weren’t the only ones. Other bow-tie sporting dudes include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Robin Thicke, Jason Bateman and Tom Ford. Yes there might have been some individuals that broke the bow-tie barrier and wore a skinny tie but that just wasn’t enough to revive the lack of color at this year’s Academy Awards.
The only guy that somewhat surprised was Robert Downey Jr. when he showed up with a black tux, a turquoise bow-tie, sneakers and blue see through shades. Good one, but not very appropriate.
Now this is my favorite part of an Award Show! Who wore what, who wore it best and who wore it worst is in some cases more important than who won. The Academy Awards is probably the most important of the award shows and it’s very important to look classy, sassy and fabulous. The theme of the night was definitely all about the sparkle and the flow.
From seasoned actresses like Demi Moore in Atelier Versace, Penelope Cruz in Donna Karan couture, Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta, Elizabeth Banks in Versace and Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute couture, to the younger players on the field like Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier (Finally she looks stunning… I was getting a little worried with her funky little outfits), Miley Cyrus in Jenny Packham and Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab, all looked absolutely phenomenal. But who took the cake? That will be the crowd favorite, Sandra Bullock, who also picked up a little gold man for Best Leading Actress in The Blind Side. Bullock’s beaded Marchesa gown won over the Academy and the Fashion Police in both elegance and and glam.
The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is not only known for it’s importance and the life long statement “I’d like to thank the Academy”, but also for it’s funny. And this year, none other than Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin brought the funny. The show started off with our favorite mini doctor, Neil Patrick Harris, singing and dancing his little heart out with two half naked rockettes.
Over the course of the night, the hosts made sure they put their two cents in and I was sitting with the laptop and writing it all down. Here are some of their Gems:
Steve: “There’s Damn Helen Mirren”… Alec: “That’s dame Helen Mirren”
Alec about Woody Harrelson: “He is sooo high!”
“There’s James Cameron” – ‘Both put on 3D glasses’
Steve: “Inglorious bastards’ Christoph Waltz is a Nazi obsessed with finding Jews – Well here is the motherload”
Steve: “The Academy awards… the best night in Hollywood since last night”
Alec: “Hey Feriss… is this your day off???”
What else happened? The star of Precious, Gabourey Sidibe, told Ryan Seacrest “If Fashion was Porn… this dress is the money job!”… The only time that Mr. Smith dramatically inhaled was when they showed the horror movie slide… and George Clooney was clearly pissed off about something all night.
I know normally when there is an award show, I pick the movies or actors that I hope will win. But lets face it… That rarely happens. So this time I decided to just pick who I think is going to win. I noticed that with all award shows, you get two or three movies that just win everything. So here you go guys… I really hope I guessed em’ all. Who do you think is going to win? Did I make the right picks?

I don’t normallyget obsessed with shows but there’s just something about The Vampire Diaries that makes me tingle. And I’m not the only one who’s caught in this hot vampire web. The Vampire Diaries just got picked up early for another season, along with Gossip Girl, Supernatural, America’s Next Top Model and 90210.
Who may be in trouble? Smallville, One Tree Hill, Life Unexpected and Melrose Place.
As I mentioned in The Grammy Awards Best Dressed, The Grammy’s are definitely all about fun. Fun outfits, fun mood and fun performances. And well the stars definitely delivered. The first “lady” we are going to talk about is of course Lady Gaga. One thing she does well, is wear the craziest shit I have ever seen. I personally really don’t like her but she makes excellent material when it’s time for my worse dressed posts. Lady Gaga never disappoints, and that is why she appears not once, not twice, but three times on my crazy list. According to Miss Gaga all of her outfits were custom-made just for her by Armani Privé.
The next tasteless lady is the lovely Ciara in a black cobweb Givenchy dress, our little pop princess, Britney Spears, in a sheer lace Dolce & Gabbana dress over a black bodysuit which so did not compliment her new hot bod. Now what can you say about Pink, she’s a rock star, even though her performance was absolutely unbelievable, her outfit definitely could have been a little less see-through.
Fergie definitely brought the right arm candy to the Grammy’s (Ahm… hubby Josh Duhamel) but not the right outfit to perform in. Ok, i get it… she was going for the whole futuristic feel for her space cadet performance with The Black Eyed Peas, but the gladiator jock strap was definitely pushing it.
Unlike the other serious award shows, like the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards, The Grammy’s are all about fun, fun, fun. And this year, it was all about legs, legs, legs! The Grammy’s is the one award show you can get loose, play with your outfit and make it totally Rock&Role. Our leading ladies for this evening were Miley Cyrus in a rocker teal Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress, Glee star Lea Michelle (Of Course) in a Romona Keveza one shoulder frock with a fun petal skirt, Ke$ha in a gold 20′s flapper dress, Fergie in a blue mini by Emilio Pucci and Heidi Klum in a gold sequins Emilio Pucci.
So who wins best dressed??? Well to me it’s a tie between Lea Michelle and Miley Cyrus. They both wore dresses that are perfect for them and their individual personality so it’s really tough to pick one. The bigger question is who wins best legs! And the answer is Lea Michele hands down. Even Jay Manuel said that the only crime Lea Michelle committed was hiding those amazing legs. I gotta admit, I think I’m developing a little girl crush on Lea Michele.
Now I don’t know if I’m just old-fashioned, or I am actually conscious of what I look like, but pretty girls should have long pretty hair. Period. I’m sorry but I just don’t think that girls with short hair are very attractive. Especially when it’s boy hair or weird Mohawks. First of all lets talk about Pink, she’ is a rock-star and she gets a free pass because well she’s Pink. Don’t get me wrong, I still think that she could look so much prettier with pretty long blond hair but hey what can you do.
Rihanna, Rihanna, Rihanna… what is going through your head??? I understand that you’re trying to do the whole R&B / Rock&Roll thing, but common. You used to be so pretty!!! Rihanna also started trying this Couture look, and it is sooo not working for her. Now what can you say about Mary J Blige, this woman has been in the business for so long and has had so many different hair styles, that I’m hoping this is just a phase she is going through and that the Fro-Hawk is not here to stay.
In the picture above you can see Mary J Blige, Pink and Rihanna (In that order) as they arrived at the 2010 Grammy Awards last night in Los Angeles. And the questions is… who wore the blond Fro-Hawk best?
Next Top Model - 9/08 Vampire Diaries - 9/09 Destination Truth - 9/09 Gossip Girl - 9/13 Glee - 9/21 NCIS - 9/21 Hell's Kitchen - 9/22 Bones - 9/23 Fringe - 9/23 Human Target - 9/24 Undercover Boss - 9/26 Stargate Universe - 9/28 Sanctuary - Fall

Another Emmy award show has come and gone and to be completely honest with you, I was pretty disappointed. I don’t remember if I watched it last year so I might not have anything to compare it to but it was really boring. The opening show was the best part in my book – they took Jimmy Fallon (Who hosted the show), gleeks – Lea Michele, Corey Monteith, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley and Jane Lynch, Tina Fey from 30 Rock, The Soup’s Joel McHale, Jorge Garcia (Hurley from Lost), Mother of 8 Kate Gosselin and last but not least Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries (Love her) – and made them sing and dance – How freaking fantastic was that?
