Grammy Moments

I enjoy award shows; I like the fashion and the star gazing. I DVR them and fast forward through all the yada-yada-yada. The Grammys are especially entertaining since there are so many musical performances. I always find a new artist I'm interested in.

LL Cool J did a fine job as host. He pushed open the curtain of tension with the way he spoke of Whitney Houston - "there's been a death in the family"

He's so handsome. And solid!

The highlight of the award presentations was Adele - my girl was nominated for 6 and took home 6.
She sounded wonderful and looked divine.

Rhianna gave an exciting performance. She reminds me of a young Whitney. I hope Rhianna stays away from men like her ex Chris Brown. Heaven knows Bobby Brown did nothing but drag Whitney down into his mania.

Then there was all the "old guys" - Bruce, Sir Paul, Beach Boys, Glen Campbell.

Bruce can still jump and his butt looks tight, Paul is a force of nature, and the Beach Boys appear to have been preserved. Perhaps it's all the weed.

Glen Campbell is slowly slipping into the haze of Alzheimers. He's touring with his daughter Ashley at his side. It's touching to see how she looks out for him.

I was struck by how many artists thrive through the years while others are gone too soon.

Jennifer Hudson sang for Whitney

I'd like to hug Whitney's daughter Bobbi Christina.

Peaceful Journey Whitney

The Cadaver Speaks Again

In late 2009 I did  this post  about how Karl Lagerfeld was "disgusted" by curvy women and was planning to fight any effort to include them in fashion shows.

Over 2 years later and Karl continues to forget to just lie down and shut the fuck up.

In a recent interview he discussed today's music scene; given that he knows nothing about music Karl decided to call Adele "too fat" and wonder out loud about what body parts of newcomer Lana Del Rey might be fake or enhanced. Two exceptionally talented young women - both in their early 20s - being discussed like so many pounds of chopped meat.

I really hate this sorry skeletal sac of ...

He's creative director for Chanel. From everything I have ever read about Coco Chanel I'm assuming that Lagerfeld would, at best, annoy her.

Adele responded to Lagerfeld's insults ...

I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears.

I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

I'm really looking forward to Adele's performance at this Sunday's Grammys. Her first since throat surgery 6 months ago.

As for Karl - I wonder how much he hates himself. I wonder if once being fat turned him into the dark shadow he is today.

 He looks happier fat

Apparently fat Karl worked tirelessly to get cotton balls the right to legally marry


Just as I was about to publish I read that Lagerfeld has apologized. Bullshit. Just like the Republican candidates he says what he means, reveals his true self and then tries to weasel out.
