America's Heartbreak

Lately, the celebrity world has been full of infidelity, scandal. From Tiger to Josh Duhamel (not confirmed) a lot of celebs seem to like to have a little something extra on the side. None of these rumors shocked me more than the Jesse James/Sandra Bullock affair. Two weeks later and this is still the topic of conversation (in fact I had a dream about it last night…sad, I know). You can’t help but have a little piece of your heartbreak for her. A woman who’s on top of the world after her Oscar win is humiliated by the recent infidelities of her spouse.

Their fairy tale romance went from this to this.With ‘four mistresses’ coming out of the wood works, you can’t blame the woman for going into hiding, canceling appearances.

It’s okay Sandy. You’ve got America on your side.

Do you think she’ll leave Jesse? Would you stay in hiding?

Best/Worst Dressed

This year's Oscars had a variation of different looks. From high fashion to classic Hollywood, the stars brought on the glamour. Here are a few of my favorites and eh...not so favorites.

BEST DRESSED

This is the best Cameron has looked in a long time. Oscar De La Renta does nothing wrong in my book. Well done RZ team!


The Oscar winner glowed in the metallic Marchesa gown.


This was a dress you either love or hate...in this case I loved it! I thought Vera looked gorgeous in this beautiful scarlet Marchesa gown. This fashion risk worked for me.


You don't normally see prints on the red carpet, but Rachel McAdams pulled off this Elie Saab gown.

EH...

I appreciate SJP taking a fashion risk with this Haute Chanel gown, but I would have liked to have seen it on someone like Nicole Richie. Nicole can pull of that loose kind of silhouette.

WORST DRESSED

I do not adore this look on Charlize. Who wants cinna-buns on their chest?


Mariah please hire a new stylists. The Valentino gown didn't do the songstress any justice, but the shoes are cute.


The picture speaks for itself.

What were your favorite/least favorite dresses?

Mini Fashionista's

This isn't a sweet a picture (image courtesy of her blog) of a stylish old lady. This is Tavi Gevinson, the 13-year-old fashion blogger who has taken the fashion world by storm. She isn't your typical teenager. She doesn't worship the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus, instead she's sitting front row center at fashion shows. At 13, I didn't speak Prada, Dior or Chanel. Abercrombie and American Eagle were my go to 'designers.' My idea of fashion was pink pleather pants and bedazzled tanks (yuck!).

As if having a 13-year-old fashionista wasn’t enough meet Katie Bids. She’s 5 and made her first appearance at New York Fashion Week. Ha! She’s a cute and rubbing elbow with Michael Kors. What’s next Toddlers and Tiara’s fashion week edition?

While these youngins are capturing the latest fashions. What were your fashion musts as a kid/teen? Mine were polka dot leggings, platform boots (Spice Girl style) bedazzled tops and flared jeans. These looks took fashion to a whole new level of…tackiness.

Pretty Woman Still Has The Golden Touch



If your Valentine's Day wasn't filled with chocolate, flowers, it might have been spent with the cast of Valentine's Day. According to the New York Magazine, Julia was paid $500,000 a MINUTE! Considering she was in the film for 6 minutes, she made an easy 3 million dollars! Maybe, I should get into acting.

As much as I love rom-com's...not sure I want to pay to see this one. It looks like a weak attempt of Love Actually. Since Valentine’s Day was so successful at the box office this weekend (52.4 million), New Line Cinema is thinking about making a similar movie revolving New Years Eve. What’s next Halloween? Easter? I don’t know about you but I miss romantic comedies like Harry Met Sally. You can relate to it and it doesn’t ooze of cheese.

Did you see Valentine’s Day? What were are thoughts?

GRAMMY HIGHLIGHTS

Here some HIGHlights from last night's Grammy's.

BEST PERFORMANCES:


As much I loved this performance, I do wish P!NK would have done something different than reenact performances from the Fun House tour.


The girl sure knows the meaning of being fierce.

MOST OVERRATED:

I know most of you love this performance. I mean Elton, Gaga, glitter, and fire? What else could be missing? Excitement.

WORST PERFORMANCE:

I know she isn't the Reba or Carrie of Country, but Princess Sparkles was bit off tune and Stevie was her background singer? It should have been the other way around. This performance has hot mess all over it.

MOST RANDOM PERFORMANCE:

The introduction and performance speak for itself.

WORST DRESSED:

At least she looks happy? Sorry Brit, this DG body suit looks like a bad attempt at Gaga.


Katy--this Zac Posen gown is not hot, it's cold.

BEST DRESSED:


Va-va-voom Heidi! (Emilio Pucci dress)


Posh would be proud J-Hud.


Lea Michele's second choice (Romona Keveza) was a winner!



Never thought I'd say this but Miley is looking her age in Herve Leger by Max Azaria dress. Will this be in Wal-Mart?


Next up--the granddaddy of grand shows--THE OSCARS.

What were your favorite HIGHlights and LOWlights?
