SPECIAL EDITION
(and a tribute to Anna Nicole Smith)
The Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks were the big winners of the 49th Annual Grammy Awards last night winning in five categories: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Country Album and Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. I'm not a big "Chicks" fan, so I'm not going to gush over their wins. Has anyone else noticed that whoever chooses the winners of the awards every year seems to focus in one one group or performer or actor (for Academy Awards) and pile on all of the awards to that one particular group? Who picks the nominees? And even more important, who chooses the winners? And what is their criteria? How about spreading the love a little, eh? Five awards to one group? A little excessive if you ask me. But as usual, what do I know? I just report. I'm happy for Brooke, though. Congrats to your girls. ;-)
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer, I haven't seen your movie yet, but it is on my list of "must see movies" this year. You're giving Beyonce a run for her money. Even though she denies it, I bet miss diva is shakin' in her booties a little bit. Good job!
Beyonce took a grammy home, too. I don't remember which one, though. I wasn't paying that much attention to her. I'm bored of her. Nothing personal against her. Just bored. That's all. May way for Jennifer.
Justin Timberlake
I said I wasn't going to waste anymore time on the ladies man, but for the sake of the grammy's, I will. But only because I'm talking about him at the awards show. Not because he's once again this week being linked to Scarlett Johannsen. I'm not going there.
J.T. performed "What Goes Around Comes Around" towards the beginning of the show. I will say this for the man; he can perform. And play the piano; and work a hand held video camera; and work a crowd. And look classy and handsome all at the same time. Then a lucky fan got to perform with J.T. at the end of a show. Three of them, who sat in the front row and flashed their pearly whites at the camera at every opportunity, got the chance to perform with Justin at the end of the show. The winner was selected by the American voters (a la American Idol) to sing with him. And that was her fifteen minutes. (Of course, unless, Justin decides to make her his flava of the week.)
SUPPOSED BEST DRESSED: Ciara
Huh? What say you? Whatever.
Why does Fergie always have to stand like this?? Everytime I see her, this is how she's standing. Is she afraid her hip is going to go out of joint if she let's go?? Find a new pose sweetheart.I didn't even watch the whole show. I got bored and went to bed. Early. Those awards shows just get too long. Did you watch the show? Any highlights you'd like to mention? Did you enjoy it?
Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscience in her hotel room last Thursday afternoon and shortly thereafter, pronounced dead at the hospital. There is no official word as to what caused her death, however a large amount of prescription drugs (that were apparently not prescribed in her name) were found in her room. Among the prescription drugs were Vicodin and Methodone (which was also found in her son after his death). Investigation is still on-going.
I heard about Anna's death from a co-worker of mine while I was at work. To say that I was in complete shock is an understatement. I am not a huge "fan" of Anna's; I don't really know much about her except what you hear on the news lately of her son's death and her paternity issues. But I am always shocked and saddened when I hear of someone mysteriously dying at a very young age. Especially after everything that had been going on in her life. I feel sorry for that baby. I hope that the interested parties can soon come to a resolution regarding her so that she can try to have as normal of a life as she can.
Rest in peace, Anna.

Do you think he's handsome? I just don't understand the allure. And the hand-held video camera was very Blair Witch, I thought. Made me a little nauseous.
I've always wondered just who nominates and decides these things. I rarely agree with them. Fergie totally needs a new pose!
Kelli,
As a general rule, I don't find Justin terribly handsome. However, it was nice to see him dressed up in a tie and suit, nicely shaved rather than shaggy, hairy and wearing pants below his rear. ;-)
You're right, that was rather Blair Witch"ish". Great analogy. ;-)
I'm a closet Justin Timberlake fan. I'm embarrassed and I need help...but I enjoy his songs. I watched the awards last night, but I missed that part.
Dude. Justin Timberlake? He's bringing Sexy Back. Not that he was ever lacking that but you know. WOOT!!! FOR THE CHICKS! It's about time!
And a celebrity news edition without a mention of the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith???
Uggghhh.....I was hoping no one would notice that I didn't say anything about that, but it took me a ridiculous amount of time to get this up with the kids harassing me every three minutes. Oh, I am horrible. I really was going to do it at the end, but I had to leave!! I suppose I should add it on.
I loved Justin Timberlake's new song that he wrote and can see why he is so proud of it! It was fun seeing the Eagles back together again. It was great seeing Sting join them after twenty years, as well as, Carrie Underwood! They sang a few too many oldies for my taste. Enjoyed the interview with Nora Jones. What a talented singer/song writer!
That is the most "normal" picture of Anna Nicole I've ever seen. Her life is like a car wreck that you shouldn't be looking at as you drive by, but you can't help it. There is absolutely no sane reason for there to be so much publicity about her out there. I do feel very sorry for that little baby, whoever fathered her. I hope somebody who has some sense gets to raise her. An editorial I read today said what I would have if I had thought of it first. "Anna Nicole Smith's death last week was universally described by the media as tragic. But it was her life, not her death, that was tragic. Her death was predictable and not out of character with her celebrity life. . . There seemingly wasn't a period in Smith's life that wasn't marked by sadness, desperation, tragedy, greed, or excessive self-indulgence. What was missing was normalcy and enduring happiness. . . It is a commentary on the era she lived in that she was famous for, well, for accomplishing nothing and having little talent. Like other pop stars of her time, Paris Hilton the most famous, Smith gained her celebrity for being rich and for being . . . just for being, I guess. . . That's part of the tragedy of her life. She was in exhaustive pursuit for fame and fortune, and she died alone in a casino while lawyers battled over her disputed estate." (Chick Green, Syndicated Columnist)
Hmmmm...maybe I'm glad that I didn't watch the Grammys! lol I can't stand the Dixie Chicks and I'm surprised to hear they won that many awards, after all the trouble they had caused with their bashing the government! I don't know, either I"m getting old or whatever but I find musicians today just do nothing for me...it's very rare nowadays that I get excited about a new song!
I was looking forward to your commentary on the grammies, kristen! who needs E! when we've got you?! ;)
did you know that Natalie from the Dixie Chicks, her hubby is "Nathan" on my new favorite drama "Heroes"? I was like what....so cool, when I saw him sitting there with her.
and totally sad about Anna, for her baby, hopefully the right father will be found and can take of her, only in Hollywood!!!
