BLOWN AWAY

Last night Carrie Underwood OWNED her performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards, presented live at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Beyond her gorgeous voice, awesome song writing, and general beauty... she pushed the technological envelope with her innovative costume choice.

This super cool concept utilized projection mapping to activate the billowing skirt of her platinum colored Theia ball gown which was also adorned with thousands of reflective Swarovski crystals. Gorge.

THE POSTAL SERVICE

This headline almost just gave me a heart attack....

Then I realized it was about the US Postal Service, and NOT my favorite British girl group.

Thank god.

CUT IT OUT

Pop diva superstar Rihanna is currently on a record-setting world tour, visiting 7 countries, doing 7 shows in 7 days.

She has invited 150 of her closest friends, fans, and photogs to join her as they travel in style aboard a private 777 jumbo jet.

Yesterday, she posted this pic on instagram featuring the fabulous face of drag royalty, RuPaul.... or at least a cardboard cut-out of the Glamazon.

 

This of course totally made me think of another great cardboard cut-out, RIRI herself! Logan Keslar was lucky enough to score this life-sized replica of the singer while shopping at a drugstore in Detroit. Looks like Rihanna just loves posing for pics.

BILLY MEETS MADGE

I absolutely LOVE this clip from The Conan O'Brien Show featuring everyone's favorite pedestrian lunatic Billy Eichner for a few reasons:

- He quiz's everyday New Yorkers about the upcoming election.... and the upcoming fall tv line up.
- When the crazy lady makes the inadvertent Jon Benet Ramsay reference at 3:05
- I agree with Billy that Honey Boo Boo is a TOTAL escape.
- The fierce New York City attitute at 3:54
- Yankee Stadium is like a stone's throw from my apt in Harlem.
- Billy gets on-stage during rehearsal to MEET MADONNA during sound-check. 
- "Vogue, Mother Fuckers!"
- All the awesome, behind-the-scenes shots of the totally awesome staging by Tait
- Rocco's cameo
- "Love you in Dick Tracy!"
- How generally excited he is to meet Madonna.

TWO OF M'FAVORITE THINGS

"Interview With a Honey Boo Boo" 

M'favorite cubby, pre-teen, reality show, superstar has been re-imaginged as bratty Claudia from my favorite vampire movie of all time "Interview With a Vampire. The classic flick is a must-see featuring a killer performance by a young, then nearly unknown Kristen Dunst (originally in the role of Claudia).... and two very queeny showings by Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt as the odd-couple Lestat and Louis (respectively). 

A younger, hotter Christian Slater rounds out the cast -- which ain't too hard on the eyes either.
