Dionne Warwick's $10 Million In Debt!
March 27, 2013 | 10:00 AM PDT
Filed under: WTF Were They Thinking, Scandaloso, Celebrity Scandal, Grammys
Good news for us: we're all wealthier than a five-time Grammy winner! The bad news: it's because said star is $10 million in the hole! Yep, legendary singer Dionne Warwick has just filed for bankruptcy protection, saying she has $10.7 million in debts, and just $25,000 in assets.
The singer still brings in about $250,000 a year, but nearly all of it goes to paying bills (Ya know, sorta like the rest of us!). Dionne's publicist cites mismanagement by handlers for the insurmountable debt… think it's a little bit more than "mismanagement."
Fun fact: Warwick ranks second behind only Aretha Franklin as the most-charted female vocalist of all time with 56 of her singles making the Billboard Hot 100.

Bieber Fires Back At Black Keys Drummer
February 13, 2013 | 07:00 AM PST
Filed under: Justin Bieber, The Black Keys, Awards, Celebrity Fights, Celebrity Twitter, Twitter, Grammys
This got ugly, quickly. After winning big at the Grammys, The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney (above with glasses) weighed in with his thoughts on Justin Bieber while celebrating. When asked about Bieber getting snubbed, Carney told a TMZ photog, "He's rich, right? Grammys are for, like, music, not for money… and he's making a lot of money. He should be happy, I guess." Burrrrn!
JB got wind of the comment and responded via Twitter saying, "the black keys drummer should be slapped around haha."

Rihanna Debuts Official Video For "Stay"
February 12, 2013 | 10:00 AM PST
Rihanna took home the Grammy award for Best Short Form Music Video on Sunday for "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris. The video was met with critical praise yet plenty of controversy for its depiction of violence and drug use. RiRi's new video for "Stay" most likely won't receive any critical praise, or cause any controversy cause it's downright boring.
Sitting in a bathtub for all 4:07, Rihanna's newest video is a yawner in my humble opinion.

Maroon 5 & Alicia Keys Rock The Grammys!
February 11, 2013 | 01:36 PM PST
Filed under: Adam Levine, Alicia Keys, Gotye, New Music, Grammys, CBS, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Fun
Gotye won Record of the Year, Mumford & Sons won Album of the Year, Fun. won Song of the year. But in my opinion, the biggest winners at last night's 55th Grammys were Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys. Performing a medley of "Daylight" and "Girl on Fire," Adam and Alicia brought chills to the audience! Simply put: It was an electrifying performance.
Most celebs in attendance followed the strict CBS dress code, with a few exceptions... **cough cough** Rihanna on the red carpet, JLo's leg, Katty Perry's busty duo.

Cissy Houston Invited To Party Where Whitney Died
February 08, 2013 | 04:29 PM PST
Filed under: Whitney Houston, Celebrity Deaths, WTF Were They Thinking, Grammys
Every year, music exec Clive Davis throws what's usually quite the Grammy party, but of course that wasn't the case last year when Whitney Houston passed away right before the gala. A year later, Clive has extended an invitation to Whitney's mother Cissy to attend the party. And obviously, she ain't too thrilled about the invite.
"I got an invitation to the party, which is the most obscene thing," Cissy tells Access Hollywood. "I don't know why they would want me to come to the party in which she died, you know? Unheard of."
A lot is "unheard of" regarding Whitney, but I totally agree Cissy. Invitation was in poor taste.

CBS Releases Strict Grammy Dress Code!

Filed under: CBS, Grammys, Fashion, New TV, WTF Were They Thinking, Red Carpet, Random
There will be no wardrobe malfunctions, nip slips, exposed cleavage or any other mishaps at the Grammys, at least that's what CBS says. The network, which will air the awards ceremony this Sunday, released a "wardrobe advisory" to prevent celebs from exposing themselves on camera.
The memo, which was distributed to show attendees was obtained by Deadline. The memo reads: "Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure..."

Tina Turner Bailing On The U.S.A!
January 27, 2013 | 04:48 PM PST
Filed under: Celebrity Real Estate, Random, Grammys
Born in Tennessee back in 1939, Tina Turner has apparently had enough of the good ol' US of A. According to reports, the legendary eight-time Grammy winner is receiving Swiss citizenship and will soon move to Switzerland and give up her U.S. citizenship. Turner's parents were of Swiss descent, and she's been living in Switzerland most of the time since 1994.
Turner says she's "very happy in Switzerland" and apparently loves the country, but I gotta ask: "What's Love Got to Do with It"???

The nominations for the 55th Grammy Awards were announced yesterday, and who didn't get a nod is making more news than who did. Justin Bieber, One Direction, Drake, Coldplay, even Psy (!) didn't receive even a single nomination! Bieb's manager Scooter Braun immediately took to Twitter to voice his displeasure saying, "this time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one."
What do you think? Is JB more deserving of an Album of the Year nomination than nominees The Black Keys, Fun., Kelly Clarkson, Frank Ocean, Gotye and Taylor Swift??

RIP: Andy Griffith Dead At 86
July 03, 2012 | 09:43 AM PDT
Filed under: Ron Howard, Celebrity Deaths, NEWS, Awards, Grammys
So sad. I'll always remember watching The Andy Griffith Show reruns when I stayed home from school sick. Andy Griffith passed away at his North Carolina home this morning at the ripe age of 86. In addition to starring in his self-titled show, Griffith also appeared on Matlock from 1986 - 1995. Griffith was also a Grammy-winning Southern gospel singer.
In 2005, Andy was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush. Good guy, great actor. He'll be missed. :(
