Fun times at the 52nd Grammy Awards

The Grammy Awards were last night. They sucked, save for Pink’s aerial silk routine and Stephen Colbert’s hee-hee dig at Adam Lambert. Come on! It was funny. Hey, Stephen Colbert knows who he is. That’s a good sign, right? Perhaps it was simply another part of Colbert’s ongoing imitation of the man he hate-mocks, Bill O’Reilly? Oh, wait…no, sorry. The Glamberts have still thrown themselves into a tizzy.

All this for a guy who may be the long-lost bastard son of Colonel Sanders. Perhaps its those 11 secret herbs & spices which make him so damn irresistible to the (post)-menopausal set.

Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood just really needed to eat a damned sandwich. Her arm is the size of my thumb. She should also never speak.

I guess Justin Guarini was covering it for the TV Guide channel? (But I’m thinking they sort of just let anyone in. Alexis Grace was there. Or at least posed with one of the signs in front.)

How this woman can even smile amazes me after all she’s been through. Jennifer Hudson looked (and sounded) great.

This obnoxious bitch was only there in a pitiful attempt to show the world how RELEVANT she is…

…and to get into this guy’s pants. She’s been chasing him for over a year now, even though QUATTO warned her it would never happen.

For more photos of the 52nd Grammy Awards, check out MJ’s stash. Now with funny “concerned speculation” on why Kris Allen — who is probably on a flight to Southeast Asia right now — was not in attendance…and why this is MUY MAL for his career.

Whether or not Kris is “into the whole gala thing” or not he is wasting really valuable opportunities to network at functions like this. The day is going to come when someone is waffling over considering him for one thing or another and some previous personal contact would have made all the difference. That’s what all these functions are for- one Clive party is still just one party. The Grammy’s are network exposure both as appearing on a network and working a network. And never mind Katy’s aspirations- she needs the exposure as well.

I understand that there are successful celebrities that eschew the schmoozing thing, but Kris is not there yet and needs to learn how to get himself out there. He’s too passive. I don’t expect him to be a social butterfly and change his nature but I would expect him to at least try and make an effort. These opportunities are few and far between- it’s a shame to let them get away like this.

And someone wasted time writing those 2 paragraphs because they care so much?

Will be adding a few more photos if I get a chance. What were your favorite Grammy moments? I’m a bit shocked Gaga was so royally screwed when it came time to hand out those awards (although I think everyone won 10 of something in the awards presented before the telecast) and seriously, enough with Taylor Swift and the AW SHUCKS I REALLY WON speeches. The hate once reserved only for Miley Cyrus will now be directed towards you. Sorry, sweetheart. It’s just how things work.

Spread the word. Do it.

    Totally OT…but I just found this @ IDF:

    http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=627941&st=220

    Some pics of Kris and Katy sleeping on a bus, and (possibly) in a music classroom…both from high school. (they look 16/17).

    I’d always avoided looking at that thread b/c it seemed a tad stalkery…but I succumbed. (Now I’m tard-pamming a link. lol.)

    • deez

      *sigh* tard-spamming…not tard-pamming.

    • Lauren

      Aw, those pics make me not want to kill Katy so Kris can be with Adam!

      • deez

        “Your pic makes me NOT want to kill you.” High praise from Lauren. LOL.

        • Lauren

          Hahaha. That’s the best Katy will ever get from me ;)

  • kimberly

    The heavy makeup just can’t look good in person. I mean some of those photos are hideous. He isn’t a bad looking guy, but the makeup makes him look like a circus clown at times. He’s got pretty eyes as well … I don’t get the attraction. The glambulge picture from the NYE’s Gig, reminded me of a bad Benny Hill sketch. It just comes off more as a joke to me than sexy.

  • Muzikizmi

    I do not understand the Glamberts who love his makeup. I don’t understand it at all. All guys wear makeup on TV, but most keep it minimal to maintain a natural look. Adam’s eyebrows contained enough pencil to complete a 5,ooo word essay for English Comp. 101. There is nothing natural about his makeup. He makes Dolly Parton look all scrubbed face, by comparison. I have never understood the thinking that this amount of makeup on anyone is sexy or hawt.

    Oh, and I am starting to worry about Carrie. I like thin. I was thrilled when Carrie shed the extra 10 pounds she carried on Idol. But, seriously, she is starting to scare me.

  • 8sourcandy

    Last night Adam Lambert looked absolutely beautiful. His hair and make-up looked great. I loved his jacket and how he carried himself—very assured and dignified. He was an excellent fashion correspondent for ET; completely understanding the intricacies of dress design and drawing attention to their features. The celebrities that he interviewed seemed comfortable and genuinely engaged. He scored well in this endeavor. :)

    The Stephen Colbert remark.
    I was with the audience and didn’t think is was particularly funny, however, I didn’t think it was inaccurate. Adam did show a lack of restraint at the AMAs. Pointing it out wasn’t really that terrible. I suspect he will be ribbed about it for some time to come.

    • Lauren

      It much funnier the second time you watch it. I wanted to mad that he insulted my man but I just couldn’t be mad at Stephen Colbert!
      I thought he was an excellent fashion correspondent too. He was really nice :)

      • 8sourcandy

        Stephen Colbert is a comic genius.

        Speaking of funny, you must check out this interview…

        • pattyluponey

          Um, that was hilarious.

        • Lauren

          Oh my gosh I love her! That was a great interview :D

        • http://www.affinityhealthandbeauty.co.uk Lamberkitten

          LOL! “we won’t talk about the AMAs but if you get the urge to do something inappropriate…I have a great big hole here…” long silence from Adam and “……sooooooooooooo…..”. That was great :)

        • et

          OK, that was hilarious.

  • Muzikizmi

    Oh, and about my monster, I just love her. She has the cutest hour glass figure. Although on closer inspection, her waist is also her shoulders, and she doesn’t need legs. She hovers. That is so me. I hover, too. :)

  • the tard king

    So Q3 is back and posted a tl;dr tome about why Adam’s launch strategy is so unusually successful. In the middle comes this gem:

    “The international launch and promo trip seems to be sensible. Adam is more likely to be big outside of the US first. For example, he is selling better in Canada than in the US. It is exactly how Lady Gaga was launched.”

    Yes, she just played “but he’s big in Japan” card. I can smell the fear.

    • Sherena

      Well, Japan is actually a big market. It’s like third biggest market in the world after the U.S. and the U.K. The “but he’s big in Japan” card is actually a good one.

      Canada, on the other hand…

      • Lauren

        Really? Japan…interesting. It’s kinda funny that a guy on American Idol is doing better in Japan than the USA. If I’m not mistaken he’s also doing pretty well in Israel. So random.

        • jukejoint

          Big in Japan! Like Spinal Tap!

          • TopIdol

            Alyssa Milano was HUGE in Japan. HUGE.

          • 8sourcandy

            The Japanese must really like sexy people.

          • Lauren

            :D I want to go to Japan now!

          • http://www.affinityhealthandbeauty.co.uk Lamberkitten

            Thats disgusting! LOL. The UK tend to love sexy people too – Sony have emailed direct to UK fan groups and asking for Adam fan clubs to organise theirselves to welcome Adam here in April. There’s talk of meet n greets (*squeeeeees*).The fans are currently organising transport, stopovers and lifts to London – no actual dates yet, which makes things a bit tough to plan ahead. Until I know dates I am not sure yet whether I can attend anything – just giving fair warning to go easy on me should I appear on the vids with my fellow Lambrits.

          • http://www.affinityhealthandbeauty.co.uk Lamberkitten

            There’s so few of us in UK and Sony are really pushing what there are of us to show up and support him …it’s a real possibility that I could actually get to meet Adam!!! *runs to wardrobe….hmmm, studded leather, faux snakeskin, the crushed shiny silk or glitter and sequins…decisions, decisions….*

          • Lauren

            Awwww, you have to tell him I love him if you see him!

          • http://www.affinityhealthandbeauty.co.uk Lamberkitten

            I would probably be rendered mute by his well-documented magnetic physical awesomeness – but am sure if I dig deep enough to splutter a few words then you can be assured that “Lauren loves you Adam” is the first thing I would say LOL :)

          • Lauren

            Yes! Thank you! It would make my life.

          • TopIdol

            If you don’t wear puffy paint and other accoutrements, you’re all good.

          • Lauren

            How do you feel about a tank top with rhinestones and sharpie? LOL, I guess I’m a tard.

        • Sherena

          I get the Israeli success. He is one of their people. Kind of. Just like India apparently likes Anoop.

          • Lauren

            LOL! I thought about that but Adam isn’t exactly a practicing Jew :P I’m more Jewish than Adam is and I hate religion.

          • erinnthered

            India has their own version of AI that they tard over. From what I’ve heard, there are Anoop fans, but it’s not like the country as a whole has embraced him. They’re too busy fighting over the new playback singers on the Indian version.

          • saskin

            Hmmm. Now I’m planning on switching to that one. They have visual effects and everything. When will the new season start?

    • erinnthered

      I thought “big in Finland” was the new “big in Japan?” No?

      • TopIdol

        I actually have a friend who is a Finnish rock star. I swear.

        • jukejoint

          Is your friend part of Lordi? Because that would be beyond awesome. Scary, but awesome.

          The thing with Scandinavian rock stars is that the countries are very small, so you can cover the whole place and still be pretty small peanuts. Japan is different because it’s got 127 million people to sell to, compared to 5 mil in Finland or 25 mil in all of Scandinavia put together. Being Finland’s favorite rock star is like saying, oh, he’s huge in Minnesota. Which is nice. I like Finland. I like Minnesota. But I doubt that an American performer who wants to be a global superstar is going to be putting all his eggs in Finland’s basket.

          • TopIdol

            No. He is the bassist for Random Eyes. I can find out if he knows Lordi. Ha.

            There is something that fascinates me about Scandinavian heavy metal. Actually, I just kind of really need to visit all of the Nordics nations.

          • jukejoint

            I’m going to Sweden and Finland in August. The Finnish heavy metal thing is just about as funny as the Swedish Dance Bands of the 70s. You should see their outfits!

            http://www.magazine13.com/swedish-dance-bands-from-the-70s/

          • Lauren

            I am so glad I wasn’t alive during that decade…

          • TopIdol

            I pretty much just fell in love harder than ever before in my life.

            http://www.svenskadansband.se/

          • erinnthered

            Gotta love Lordi. The best thing to come out of the Scandinavian Eurovision contingency since ABBA.

            You want to hear something different? Sri Lankan death metal. Henry Rollins played some on his local radio show.

            Also, did you know you can hire Henry Rollins to come and beat the crap out of you? I’m totally serious.

            Those Scandinavian Dance bands have some style. I want to hear the tunes, though. Can it meet my high camp standards?

          • Muzikizmi

            Ehhhh, not so fast. That little heavy metal band from Finland, Apocalyptica, broke pretty big with their song ‘I Don’t Care’. What is cool, is that they make all of that noise on 4 cellos. Lol. It totally sounds like 3 guitars and a bass.

          • erinnthered

            I wasn’t happy when they started using vocalists. It sounds like goth flyover rock to me, and not as good as the instrumental stuff.

          • erinnthered

            It seems that a lot of BSC Idol fans like to boast that their Idols are doing well in Finland, and I’ve recently seen another, non-Idol, artist touted for the same. What’s up with that?

          • jukejoint

            The BSC raising its ugly little head? Grasping at straws?

            Srsly — 5 million people. And at least three million of those are fond of heating themselves up beyond comfort levels in a sauna and then jumping outside into cold water and rolling in snow and beating themselves with sticks. They’re a little nutty.

  • Muzikizmi

    I had the Grammy red carpet on E! show on last night. Granted, I was also reading here and at Twitter, and a few other sites, but I didn’t see Adam on my screen. Thank you, Jeebus. Even when I wasn’t looking at the screen, I am sure I would have recognized that un-guy-like speaking voice, if I heard it.

    Did Glambert get any TV time at all? Did he get a lot, and I just successfully zoned him out? If so, I am proud of my new skillz. :)

    • abu

      “I am proud of my new skillz.”

      Now, if only TI can master the art of thumbnails, I won’t have to see some of the pictures in all their glory unless I specifically click on them …

      • TopIdol

        I suffer. You suffer.

        Who wants some Gokey?

        • abu

          Okay, I give! Please take down the Gokey picture now. I’ve learned my lesson!

    • 8sourcandy

      ET practically dedicated the entire Grammy show coverage to him. In the first four minutes they featured him heavily and played ‘Strut.’ Throughout the broadcast they featured his interviews then he had his own segment where he presented his top five Best Dressed and a special “Glambert” fashion award for GaGa. Then a second segment in which he proclaimed Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood worse dressed. I liked Carrie’s dress. He should have slammed Miley. Miranda Lambert’s dress was awful. I was in complete agreement on the best dressed, though maybe not in the same order. :) The fact that his current hit song was written by the woman who came in first place on his list is merely a coincidence. :)

      • TopIdol

        Does that make him a lying hypocrite or just polite? I heard him tell Carrie Underpants she was beautiful about 3-5x.

        • Lauren

          You know what TI, your face is a lying hypocrite! OHHHHHH!!!!!!
          Ah, memories of middle school.

          • TopIdol

            Yeah, well…you’re momma is a lying hypocrite.

          • Lauren

            You did not just go there girlfriend! Don’t make me snap my fingers in a Z formation!

          • Verbally Dyslexic

            Catfight! Well, half of it anyway.

            BANNED!

            Oh, wrong site. Carry on. :)

          • Lauren

            Hahahahaha! Don’t give TI any ideas!

        • 8sourcandy

          Maybe she said his tie was stupid. Maybe she told him that SHE was Simon Fuller’s favorite. Maybe she caught him with her gay boyfriend and a cat fight ensued.

          Who would have you thrown under the bus?

          • jukejoint

            After seeing Kara’s hideous red dress (it screams Dean Martin’s Golddiggers, circa 1967), I probably would’ve tossed her under the bus. I liked Carrie’s dress. Miley Cyrus looked kinda yucky, too, but then, when doesn’t she?

            I know! I know! Throw Justin Bieber under the bus! A real one!

          • 8sourcandy

            Imogen Heap was, by far, the worst dressed.

        • cimi

          Was a bit confused by that maself.

      • erinnthered

        Carrie was just okay, but Kara looked terrible. That dress was made for a teenager. He claimed he liked Kara’s dress? Just no. No.

        • Lauren

          No teenager in their right mind would wear that dress.

  • Heather

    Adam used to be pretty attractive. What happened?

    Taylor Swift looks like she’s already had a facelift. Isn’t she only 18?

    And LOL at Kristards spamming the DJs with hate. Get over it, Kris doesn’t need his own version of sparklecows (plaidcows?).

    • jonoave

      I already posted this comment on MJs. But the DJs were disingenious, especially the female DJ. She did a lot more than call him “tired”.The guy DJ didn’t say much and was pretty nice to Kris.

      The female DJ said something like, “you’re lying on your bed and naked now while talking to us”. Kris laughed and said something like he has pants on. After they hang up, she was talking on about him being sleepy, how he’s wasting interview opportunities like this to promote his song, and what a shame that he has a song out but he doesn’t work hard to promote the song in other aspects like this. And oh, she also said something like, “I thought he’d be nicer?” (?!?)

      Hours later the DJs tweeted that Kris fans were “relentless”. But all they have were a couple of tweets and one nasty one. Maybe they just got all the hate from emails and not on Twitter.

      Either way, it’s all nice and hugs etc, but the I’d like to point out that the female DJ wasn’t entirely honest.

      • jonoave

        Yikes, just read the comments below and lots of ppl already commented. Stupid time zone differences!

        I really need an edit button here.

    • Sherena

      Taylor’s 20 and that’s just how her face is. *shrug* I think she’s pretty, in a mousy sort of way.

  • Verbally Dyslexic

    I am saddened by the practically non-existent love for the Dave Matthews Band here. I was grinning and clutching a pillow while they performed You and Me, although I would’ve gone batty if they had done Seven or Shake Me Like A Monkey. Still can’t believe they didn’t bag a single Grammy for Big Whiskey!

    • erinnthered

      I loved their performance. I used to be a hater, but I got over myself, and just started loving all good music, instead of the “pretentious music fan approved” stuff.

  • LeighKat

    I AM DYING:

    @GabrielSaporta I was responding to the colonel sanders comparisons. :) how you been??!

    about 4 hours ago from Echofon in reply to GabrielSaporta
    Reply Retweet I’m having a KFC craving….
    about 5 hours ago from Echofon

  • LeighKat

    wait – was that Lambie KFC tweet tongue in cheek? LMAO!!!! REALLY – I find this hilarious – even more so if he didn’t read this blog!

    • Lauren

      KFC tweeted at him that they liked his bowtie I think…

      • TopIdol

        Nice. Maybe he can snag a product endorsement deal out of it. Told ya he looked like Colonel Sanders ;)

        • Lauren

          Haha I showed my mom a picture of him and after saying he looked pretty as usual she said “That bow tie kinda looks like it belongs on Colonel Sanders though…”

          Anyway Adam endorsed by KFC, while Kris is endorsed by Chick-fil-a. Definitely going to start a fanwar.

  • LeighKat

    The Grammy’s were truly horrible. Intermittent bright spots with Gaga/Elton, Pink (my hero), Maxwell and the MJ tribute (yes, I got teary eyed but, I always do when it comes to MJ).

    I would have enjoyed the Lil Wayne and Eminem if the whole damn thing wasn’t riddled with expletives and censored.

    Swifty was a hot mess- good lord! not a high point in the career of Stevie.

    LOL at the Kritards! I had no idea they had it in them. While I was peeved when I heard what AJ said after their first interview, I certainly wasn’t moved to revolt and sent the guy hate tweets. hehehehe! CAREFUL KRISTARDS- you are venturing into dangerous Sparkle Cow territory.

    Adam needs some friends who won’t lie to him and tell him that he looks good in anything he wears. The whole ensemble was a disaster and the piles of foundation are just horrible.

    • TopIdol

      I need to know more about this Kristard incident.

      I think the Glamberts have driven them to the brink.

      • saskin

        Yeah. Let’s blame it on Glamberts or Claymates. :)

      • Lauren

        Oh sure whenever your people act crazy, you automatically blame mine :P
        I blame Gokeytards.

      • 8sourcandy

        Maybe it’s a bunch of Glamberts pretending to be kristards just to make kristards look bad. If so…genius. Or Claymates pretending to be Glamberts pretending to be Kristards to make them both look bad. If so…beyond genius!!

        • Lauren

          Second one. Def.

        • Verbally Dyslexic

          It could be Cooktards trying to make as many fangroups look crazier than they were/are.

          Didn’t think of that, did ya.

          • 8sourcandy

            Cooktards….that is sooooo it!! They ARE the most maniacal of all the TARDS!!!!

          • on the edge

            OOOORRRR…it could be Holly Sockpuppet pretending to be ALL the tards.

          • Verbally Dyslexic

            Isn’t it obvious by the cranial magnitude of their fearless leader?

            (Sorry, David Cook, ILU…)

      • Verbally Dyslexic

        Poor Kristards. Can’t even take credit for their own sad attempt at crazy.

    • Ryo

      Would this be the interview where the guy told Kris not to let Adam make out with him? Because when I heard about the drama over that one, I searched the guy’s @replies – and most of them were coming from Glamberts who were accusing him of calling Adam a “gay predator” and Kradam shippers upset that he had spent so much time talking about Katy to Kris. I know that he did disable comments on the blog entry with the link to it and was deleting comments but I’m almost positive that it was mostly Glamberts doing the spamming. I looked at his tweets later, too, and he seemed to come out of it thinking he’d been spammed by Adam’s fans, not Kris fans.

      Unless you’re talking about something totally different, then I wanna know too! I’m not surprised if Kristards have been being a bit OTT lately; for some reason the fanwars seemed to have picked back up again. You’d think S9 starting would have actually HELPED that situation but apparently not.

      • Verbally Dyslexic

        It was a different interview (don’t ask me to look for it, I’m a Kristard/Krisbert therefore lazy). There was nothing new in the interview, but at the end the DJs made snide comments about Kris being lazy and unmotivated to promote himself or some such shit. It was rude of the DJs, but not worth reacting to, I think.

        But I do recall hearing that interview you mentioned as well. Glamberts are getting so predictable with their knee-jerk reactions, I can’t even be bothered to roll my eyes anymore. But the Kradam shippers got upset because Kris was asked more about his lawfully wedded wife whom he has been with for years instead of his fellow Idol alum that he has no romantic attachments to (sorry Lauren!)? Really??

        • Lauren

          Honestly, I take joke offense to your comment! Of course the interview should center around the one he TRULY loves, not that blonde bimbo Caty.
          Hahahahahahahahaha

          • Verbally Dyslexic

            Cale will prove to Kris who his ONE TRUE LOVE really is, when they spend quality time together in South East Asia.

            Go ahead and cry, Lauren.

          • Lauren

            Cale and Kris will never be any more than friends. You can’t get me to cry THAT easily :P

          • erinnthered

            Cale is just a friend. Kris really pines for Jim C. You know it’s true. He has romantic dreams about Catan tournaments and trips for ice cream.

            Kradam is love, but Krim is EPIC!

          • Lauren

            Yeah um, I love Jim C. but he’s married!
            (For some reason, this argument does not work for Kris)

          • Verbally Dyslexic

            The only way to settle this is to ask him when he comes to Malaysia on Feb 8th. And believe me, I will.

            (I won’t)

          • Lauren

            I’d love ya forever if you did!
            lol poor Kris

          • blacklisted

            Cale is the one who slept on Kraty’s couch and you know he’s only bidding his time before he pounces.

            Poor Adam. You snooze, you lose!

  • notarding

    I havent watched this yet. I just wanna see lady GAGA and BEP. Other than that i really dont care. Will watch tonight.

  • Ryo

    I desperately want those 3+ hours of my life back, I really do. My hatred of the BEP’s was cemented last night. I took a trip up to Tombstone on Saturday and only 3 stations came in along the 4-hours-each-way drive – and the station was giving away BEP tickets. I heard every single they’ve ever released AT LEAST four times. I want to stab them now. And the fact that they sound terrible live just makes me dislike them more, although it’s not like that’s uncommon these days. Say what you want about American Idol, one thing’s for sure: every one of the people who make it far on that show can at least sing well live.

    And as for Kris not going – I’m not surprised. You only have to watch him do that interview at Clive’s party to know how much he doesn’t like the “celebrity” aspect of things all that much. It took that lady like 4 tries to get Kris on camera and even then he was quick to shove George Lopez at her instead. Honestly, I see the point of “Kris needs to promote himself a little bit more” but when it comes from passive-aggressive Glamberts who only care because it gives them another way to say “Adam is better than Kris because he promotes himself” then I really couldn’t care less what they say.

      Yes. This.

  • WooAmanda

    I didn’t watch it and I’m so very glad I didn’t. Those pictures posted would give me nightmares forever. I’m not A top idol favorite. I’m just a person who can shit on anybody (I hope) without the wrath of MJ. I think that I don’t watch this crap and care even less is why MJ bans me continuously.

  • deez

    FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!1!!111!!

    We have the first documented attack from Kristards!!! (on a radio station!!)

    http://mjsbigblog.com/kris-allen-more-grammy-interviews.htm#comments

    • Nich

      Yay Kristards have arrived!!

    • barado

      Plus, Kris didn’t want to shell out the big bucks to attend the Grammy’s. Wise choice.

      • deez

        I like how he termed it…” didn’t want to waste my money”. LOL.

    • kimberly

      Kris just answered my questions about the grammys in that interview.
      Appears Geena, the interviewer, didn’t realize the cost.
      I wonder if Adam has someone watching his pocketbook for him. He seems to spend with abandon. He did mention the birthday party cost him some bucks. What keeps playing over and over in my mind is Blake
      Lewis saying that he had to pay $250,000 for his music video.
      Glamberts might think Adam has carte blanche with 19/RCA, but
      I can bet that’s not the case.

      • Burgundy LaRue

        All you have to do is look at the WWFM video in comparison to the FYE video. FYE was so over the top with all those dancers and club extras. Talk about a lot of money. I’m guessing Adam has already gone through quite a bit of his original budget and RCA found a way to reduce costs for WWFM. It seems that way.

        • TopIdol

          Actually, I’ve wondered about that. I’m not sure what the union laws are as far as dancers or extras for music videos go. But I don’t think it was all that expensive. Sure, snake and location rental, but the dancers/extras provided their own wardrobe. And weren’t many of them friends of Lambert’s? The director has a solid resume, with the standout definitely being Poker Face which definitely expensive…and also funded by bwin, an online gambling company HQ-ed in Austria.

          • kimberly

            I’ve also wondered about the magazine photo shoots, covers, interviews. Is it one hand washes the other kind of thing for the IDOLS or do they walk away with some poket money?

            I’m sure A-list celebrities are paid quite well. But what about those just starting out where nabbing a coveted magazine cover would be a major coup? Most would pay big bucks for that kind of promotion, I would think. I’m curious how that all works.

            As far as the Krisberts are concerned, I’m kinda happy that his fans actually stood up for Kris. Let the DJs know Kris does have fans out there. I saw a few of the tweets and the ones I read happened to be from young guys and not frauen. A demographic I’m sure they wouldn’t want to lose.

          • erinnthered

            No, it had to be an AFTRA/ SAG shoot. They had to get paid. Plus, the production value was very high. Just looking at those trucks in the parking lot, that was an expensive video. They did cut back for WWFM in a big way. That was one of those cheap, but we’ll make it look expensive videos.

            Adam really is burning holes in his pockets, and RCA can’t be paying for all of it. I wonder if he even got paid by ET. The more I learn about how different it is when you’re being a “spokesperson” or basically being yourself on camera, the more I cringe at that kind of thing. For instance, did you know all those people on the VH1 “remember the ___” specials don’t get paid? At all. There’s a good possibility Adam either didn’t get paid, or got AFTRA or SAG minimum. That’s a nice chunk for the average Joe, but the way he’s spending…and keep in mind, he has an agent and a manager now. They get a piece of everything.

            Yes, the magazines can cost money to get into, but I’d imagine he’s still being asked to do photo shoots. At least, I’m sure his manager knows how to get them, anyway. He’s not getting paid unless its a fashion shoot without an article attached. You’d be surprised what they’ll call an “article” too. It’s all free promotion. He doesn’t have to pay, but at the same time, he’s not getting paid.

    • the tard king

      OMG! He has actual fans! OMG!

      “Next time they’ll beat you up”.

      Love, love, love this dude.

      • Claire

        And they’re from Southern California, not Arkansas! Who knew?

    • Verbally Dyslexic

      Finally the Kristards get some radio mention! LMAO! Is this a sign of things to come?

      Seriously, there’s really no point in sending hateful tweets to the radio DJs for making whatever statements about your Idol. It’s just one DJ at a local station.

      • deez

        ITA…maybe the idiots doing that will read this and realize the stupidity of venturing into Glambert territory. Yes, they have a long way to go to catch up, but honestly…why try?

        Calm down little Kristards, think soothing thoughts and be lazy.

        • Seeker

          LOL, yeah be lazy 5 or 7 kristards who bothered to hate spam!!!
          But srsly I’m glad they were called out on their d***kotry!
          Wasn’t it the same girl who said, “was he even listening or paying attention” etc etc
          Everyone had chimed in with their humble opinions, with the segment ending with one of them yelling, “Adam should have won!”… Watever

          but Snarky Kris FTW!!!

    • erinnthered

      Awww, he has crazies too! It’s so cute and sad at the same time!

  • kimberly

    Love, love Pink. Loved her since day one. I thought she should have been the talk of the VMAs and not GAGA. Her grammy performance was stunning, her vocals always spot-on. I love watching her perform, but I’m sure they’ll be snark if she continues the aerial stunts on every performance. I think there has been a few already. It’s like aerial ballet. I wonder how she’ll follow this.

    Jennifer Hudson looks so, so, so much better than she did at Clive’s party. Carrie was babbling when she was talking to Adam. lol

    Not knowing how you get into the grammys — was Matt G. invited? Can the average person buy tickets? So anyone could go — David Cook, Kelly Clarkson, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert? I’m certain the music biz hiearchy is ridiculous. Hence the d-list, a-list thing. Crazy stuff.

    • TopIdol

      There are certain “rumors” about Carrie…I think they’re quite obvious.

      • blacklisted

        You mean besides bearding for a queer young actor at the start of his career? ;-)

      • erinnthered

        Okay, I want to know the “rumors.” I’m clearly out of the loop.

        Also, I thought her fiance was a hockey player. Are there serious rumors about his sexuality? Because I don’t like seeing that kind of thing thrown around unless there is a chance of real truth to it. Just because he’s “pretty” doesn’t make him gay.

        • TopIdol

          I’ve never heard the gay stuff. That’s news to me.

          • deez

            I would guess any Carrie rumors would have to do with the method by which she maintains the skeletal looking figure?

        • blacklisted

          It’s not about the current fiance.

          Early in Carrie’s career she was ‘dating’ Chace Crawford. His shows publicity department worked overtime to gain attention for the cast and ‘dating’ Carrie earned him some. There was a lot of tabloid fodder around it…and then they broke up. She looks much happier now so I assume her fiance is the real deal.

          • Lauren

            Chace Crawford is pretty.

    • erinnthered

      You can buy tickets to just about every award show. You can still buy tickets to the Oscars, but it’s much more limited since they moved into the Kodak.

      I’m sure many of the Idols just bought tickets. It’s a big deal, and an easy way to get red carpet publicity.

  • kimberly

    I read that the Boston Globe called Adam — Glamberace. Glamberts took it as a diss to Lambert; I took as the truth. I’ve always thought of the hosts/commentators on TV magazine/tabloid shows one step up from paparazzi. ET — a classier version of TMZ. These people are interchangable, though some do grab a bit of fame — Nancy O’Dell, Mary Hart, Billy Bush … I’m not seeing it as a major gig for Adam, in fact, quite the opposite.

    Was it Will.i.am from the BEP that gave Adam the side-eye when Adam grabbed his arm? He didn’t look pleased at all.

    Another thing, who said Adam has an invite to the show? He was on the job with ET, an employee, not a guest, if he was getting paid. I’d say comparable to Justin G. with TV GUIDE or Kimberly Caldwell. It always strikes me that Adam sees himself as being more famous than he is in reality.

    Kris is working on his career in music; Adam is working on grabbing as much camera time as he can get, no matter the quality or content.

    • ross

      I think “Glamberace” is a reference to Liberace, not paparazzi. Adam basically dresses up in sequins and flashy duds like Liberace (whom you may not remember?).

  • Lauren

    Haha TI, why do you hate on Taylor Swift so much? She is adorable and usually sounds good. I mean sure her songs aren’t that complex, but they are cute :)
    I thought that minus the bowtie and excessive makeup, Adam looked pretty. I like sparkly things.
    Kara is a hot mess…minus the hot. :P
    Carrie’s pretty. Sure she’s kinda anorexic but I like her dress.

    • TopIdol

      I’ve never really hated on Taylor Swift since I actually kind of liked her. I have a song or 2 of hers downloaded. I wasn’t a fan-fan, but I didn’t mind her. I guess that’s the best way to put it. I thought she did a nice job on SNL. However…she sucked donkey balls last night. And I’m sick of her aw shucks I won act, although I imagine one probably doesn’t know how to react after a certain point. But aren’t you supposed to practice at home?

      • Lauren

        I think her humility is adorable! And after the AMAs, I will allow every artist one vocally subpar performance. Every other time I’ve seen her do some sort of live TV thing, I have thought it was quite good.

        • blacklisted

          BUT Taylor Swift has give more than five subpar vocal performances during this award season! If it were only one (eg. Adam’s AMA) then we’d forgive her. Unfortunately, she’s at best mediocre, at worse, pure crap.

          I am not letting my rage go!

        • Lauren

          I disagree. Tell me one other time she has sounded bad?

          I have feeling I am going to lose. I don’t have the passion defending Taylor that I do when defending Adam.

          • blacklisted

            The CMA and the Jingle Ball MSG concert just for starters!

            Keep the passion for Adam, at least he can sing. :-)

          • Lauren

            I saw the CMAs and she was good! I didn’t bother watching Jingle Ball MSG so I don’t know.

            Taylor Swift CAN sing. Maybe she isn’t the best singer this decade, but that doesn’t mean she has zero vocal ability.

            Plus, again, she’s too adorable to dislike.

          • Nekola

            Lauren,

            I can give you another instance where Taylor Swift sounded bad, when she performed on the Haiti telethon. Actually, that was the first and only time I heard her live and I was not impressed. She just does not have the vocal chops IMO and it looked like her guitar playing was a little suspect too.

          • Lauren

            You people need to stop referring to things I have not watched! lol
            Taylor Swift can sing. End of discussion.

          • Brett

            Taylor Swift is a tone-deaf automaton. I have never, ever heard her sing well live. There’s no defending it.

          • Lauren

            D: You’re mean!

      • erinnthered

        What you said. I don’t hate her, but I’m sick of her act. I also have a couple of her songs downloaded.

        Plus, I don’t agree with her win. I understand it, but I don’t agree with it.

    • Sherena

      I like Taylor too. It’s funny how people think her innocence is an act. Like, we crucify the party girls for being sluts who need to act their age. And now we’re going to crucify the sweet little sheltered girl for being sweet and sheltered? You can’t win.

      • Lauren

        Exactly! She’s adorable. That’s not her fault.

        • blacklisted

          Oh puleeze, she’s a squinty eyed heiffer!

          • Lauren

            DO YOU NOT HAVE EYES?!
            You can hate her music, but the girl is gorgeous!

          • blacklisted

            She’s flatchested and horsey looking. Sorry.

          • Lauren

            What? Psh, that is a low blow, criticizing her boobs like that.

          • blacklisted

            What boobs?

          • Lauren

            You are a cruel, terrible person.
            LOL! So I typed “Taylor Swift cleavage” into google image search to try to prove you wrong but I gotta say, you win that one.
            She’s still pretty though!

          • Lauren

            …My dog is gold. That’s kinda close to orange if you think about it.

            I’m trying to make myself not feel left out.

          • Pandora

            Um… it’s a dog. Sorry, but I think you are left out. OTOH, I have two orange cats and I could loan one of them to you. Or at least a picture of him.

          • Lauren

            Aw, thanks! Haha I’m going to leave Kradam though. The thought of changing it suddenly feels painful.

          • jukejoint

            My cat is brown. He is also quite large and could take any of your cats. Well, he could eat them, anyway. Probably the dogs, as well. 20-pounders for the win!

          • Lauren

            Umm my golden is 60 lbs so suck it jukejoint!

          • TopIdol

            Oskar is 14.2 pounds, but its all muscle. And he will kick all of you and your cats’ asses.

          • Pandora

            Remy (the one in the avatar) is about 9 pounds, and I think 5 of them are fur. He will not kick anyone’s ass, he will sit there and chirp at everyone. My other orange cat, however, is about 15 pounds of muscle and may be half kangaroo, based on the fact that he has a huge vertical leap.

          • deez

            My orange cat, Porky, is made of pure adipose tissue. She also has a “smoker’s meow”, and will annoy the hell out of you if you aren’t johnny-on-the-spot with the “Whiskas”. She will also pee all over your stuff if displeased. She wouldn’t be able to kick any ass, but she has perfected the stare of icy disdain. (For a cat that was rescued from a parking lot, she has huge entitlement issues)

          • saskin

            Guys, come on. This isn’t even a competition. You don’t want to cross my Milly. She treats the dog like she is her pet. When the neighbors cat strays into our yard, she simply wakes up the dog and watches her chase the poor cat away with pleasure… True story.

          • deez

            Thanks deez. That was so funny. She also looks like my cat too. Other than the fact that Milly, too, was found in a parking lot 11 years ago and the vet told us she must be 5-6 yo at the time. When we brought the dog home, she was very annoyed at first but then she learned how to manipulate her. So now she is good. :)

    I thought that Colbert’s comment was funny and humorously complimentary–kind of a “That Adam Lambert guy is crazy and uninhibited” thing. But either way, not a big deal. :)

    Pink’s routine was beautiful, Beyonce sounded great, and I don’t hate Taylor Swift (she seems like a sweet person), but Gaga should have won best album.

    • Lauren

      I agree, on all counts. I love Taylor Swift but she kinda sounded horrible at the Grammys. And Colbert wasn’t being offensive…just funny :)
      Gaga is amazing.

  • Jillian02

    What’s is funny about the whole Stephen Colbert thing is that Adam’s fans are sending the hate comments to a imposter twitter account of Stephen Colbert and not the verified one.

    • stanless

      Priceless.

  • auntieaimee

    I have no problem with Taylor Swift. She does write a lot of her own stuff, doesn’t she? Granted, it’s all about kittens and My Little Ponys, but, whatever. She was a good sport when she was on SNL. The girl was EVERYWHERE this year, so I wasn’t surprised at all that she won. This was her year.

    • Sherena

      Aw yes ♥ I agree.

  • stanless

    Does anyone else prefer the bottom to top replies format better?

    Adam was a fashion correspondent?? Why? I mean, what are his qualifications? Because he’s gay? One of my best buds is gay and would be equally unqualifed.

    Taylor is somewhat talented in songwriting, but album of the year should have gone to GaGa in my opinion. And I loved Pink and her performance too.

    • abu

      I prefer the previous format, too. When TI changed the format, I was wondering if I clicked on something and was looking for a way to change it back.

      • Brett

        I too find the new format even more confusing than the old way. It’s the nesting, really, that messes me up. With nested comments I never know what is new and what I’ve already read, and it’s not intuitive to me at all that I have to scroll down to the bottom and read up, but then scroll back down for each nested comment. I know TI is working on the new site, so I may stay away from the comments until then. It makes my brain ache.

        • TopIdol

          I actually upped it to 10 rather than 6. I could eliminate it or go back to 6…people have said they like the newer comments on top better now, but I can see where it would screw with the nesting.

          • Lauren

            I like the extra replies! I don’t care about the order but I hate when you can’t keep replying and then everything gets all confusing and and and…

  • on the edge

    I’m ready to start a nasty rumor that Taylor paid/blackmailed Kanye into his VMA stunt so everyone would pity her and shower her with awards…I imagine her in her boudoir, clasping her hands and throwing her head back laughing “BWAHAHAHAHA, those fools!” evilly.

    Who’s with me?

  • Nich

    Jennifer Hudson looked fabulous. Adam’s whole look made me laugh. Carrie really has lost too much weight. She’s got nothing left! But she sounded ok during the Michael tribute. The best I’ve ever heard her sing.

    Stephen’s joke had me dying and I KNEW it was going to piss people off. Hee, good for you Stephen.

    Aw poor poor Kris. Thank god he has all these concerned nonfans looking out for him when his own fans just shrug and move on.

  • http://www.detailsinthefabric.tk/ Shosh

    I ALSO HATE TAYLOR SWIFT! Have you ever heard her attempt to sing live? She sucks! And everyone tells me “Oh, she just can’t sing live”. Uhh… so she can sing recorded? It’s called good editing. She’s TALENTLESS. Okay, maybe she can play some chords on the guitar. So can I. I can probably sing as well as she can and when I write the songs she does I throw them out and start over. She just has a personality, is skinny, and has blond hair. AND DOESN’T DESERVE 4 FUCKING GRAMMYS.
    Okay rant.
    Wow. I really do hate her.

      Ugh I’ve hated Taylor BEFORE the Kanye thing which pissed me off b/c it meant we all had to be nice to her and feel sorry for her. Damn you Kanye. Why can’t you ever just think what you feel instead of saying it?

      Taylor Swift is a manufactored, talentless drone. People talk about Britney being manufactored, but at least Britney has some charisma. What the hell does Taylor Swift have? Her lyrics remind me of poetry I wrote in junior high school, she’s can play a few chords but she’s not a musician, and worse of all she can’t sing and I HAVE suffered through her shitty live performances.

      The turd she delivered on national tv has nothing to do with tech malfunction, the girl just can NOT sing to save her life. Her vocals are created in the studio. They can do that for anyone, and her album is full of crappy lyrics, thus why did she win again?

      I happen to despise Beyonce and I’m not a fan of Gaga. Either would have been better. And that’s saying something considering my dislike of that other manufactored heiffer, Beyonce.

        Agree on all counts blacklisted. These reward shows are getting exponentially freakier and irrelevant by the month.

      • Sherena

        She isn’t manufactured though. Or if she is, she manufactured herself. When she was a teenager shopping for a record label, the major ones wouldn’t take her because they wanted her to sing prewritten songs, and she wanted to sing her own. So she went to a small label and wrote her own songs and broke through with a self written ditty “Tim McGraw”… I wouldn’t call that manufactured.

        • TopIdol

          I don’t have a huge problem with her. I like that she writes her own songs and I wouldn’t call her ugly. She’s better than Miley.

          Some asshole blasted me for hating on her on Twitter. Uh, ok. B/c I said she sucked singing live…especially when doing a duet with Stevie Nicks? Uh, that ain’t hating. That’s not being deaf.

          • Lauren

            Haha was it just some random person that doesn’t even follow you? I love it when that happens! I once said in a tweet to a friend that Glamberts are crazy and got an angry @reply from someone I don’t know saying that I was the crazy one!

          • jukejoint

            Sads. I like Taylor Swift and I don’t know why. She definitely can’t sing live, but she’s cute and she seems sweet and unaffected, plus she writes to her niche — poppy, vaguely country sweet teen stuff, about being the dorky girl instead of the cheerleader, that appeals to all those dorky teens and pre-teens out there. She has a market and she hit the sweet spot run right down the middle of that market.

            Even so, I’m sick to death of her and awards by now, so she can stop winning ‘em any time. They can institute a rule that any time Taylor Swift wins anything, they can pick a name off a list of people like Neil Young and Leon Russell and Stevie Nicks and Kris Kristofferson (saw him on Austin City Limits and remembered how much I liked him) and they can get each get an award instead.

            I’d still take Taylor Swift over Lady Gaga any time. Sorry.

          • Sherena

            Don’t be sorry. I’m so sick of deluded Gaga fans acting like she’s some ~edgy genius with such meaningful music omg~. And I actually really, REALLY like Gaga. But I recognize that her spectacle, her image, are part of what makes her fun, and that while her songs are super catchy and occasionally even deep, they’re really NOT lyrical masterpieces. They’re mainstream pop.

          • Lauren

            She’s freaky and unique and makes you go WTF?! yet still mainstream. That is why I love her.

        • blacklisted

          And Britney toiled away in NYC, living in a studio apartment with her mother and performing off Broadway. She was also instrumental in the ideas for her video and her image. Guess what, they are both manufactored puppets.

  • pattyluponey

    Adam really didn’t look that great last night. He needs to find new foundation, cuz the orange pancake makeup just isn’t working. He reminded me of how he looked at the Top 13 party last year when all the Liza comparisons started. He’s such a naturally pretty man, it’s terrible when he makes such bad fashion choices. Especially when he’s gonna be criticizing other people for ET. (I’m a terrible Adam fan…my card will be revoked for this statement, won’t it?)

    • blacklisted

      Adam should use Bare Essentials or some other mineral makeup. Yes, he has some acne scarring but heavy make up settles and makes everything worse. IMO the more subtle the foundation the better he looks. In fact, he looks at his best when you can see the freckles.

      I was NOT feeling the cowboy tie and the shoes? fuggetaboutit

      Of course he looked better than Kara with her hideous granny orange concoction.

    • auntieaimee

      I’ve never been a fan of his look, but I agree. He needs a new stylist. Or he needs to listen to his stylist. The shiny, ill fitting clothes and troweled on makeup look cheap. I think it makes him look insecure.

      • burgundylarue

        Puffy Combs’ 1998 shiny suit reject was ugly on Adam, but I was okay with the black tux with the sequined jacket. Had the jacket been two-toned (I’m thinking black/white), I think it would have come across better. What ruined the look was that tie. Looking like some mint julep-sipping dandy on his way to a Reconstructionist party.

        His makeup is just all kinds of wrong. For heavens’ sake Adam, just get a chemical peel already! At least use more natural makeup. Doesn’t Chris Pine have bad acne scars? You wouldn’t know it because he clearly uses top-notch concealer.

        Kara looks like she’s about to chaperone a 1950s junior-high cotillion.

        Carrie really needs to eat a sandwich. I need to stop eating sandwiches. She can have mine.

        • burgundylarue

          WTF with this Tebow pic? I’ve gotta check my Gravatar account.

          • deez

            GAAAAHHHH! TEBOW! MY EYES! MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          • Burgundy LaRue

            What’s funny is that Tebow doesn’t bother me so much–it’s the people who insist on making him more than what he is. I imagine Tebow’s a decent guy, but I can’t deal with all the butt-kissing. Now that he’s out of college, most of it is sure to stop.

          • deez

            It’s the “Adam Effect”.

          • TopIdol

            I can see him being a huge failure in the NFL. Crap. I wonder if the Rams are gonna draft his ass.

          • pattyluponey

            He reminds me of Harrington that was Oregon’s wonderboy quarterback about 8 yrs ago, then got drafted by the Lions….hmmmm that worked out well…

          • Burgundy LaRue

            Thing is, if Tebow swallows his pride and plays RB or TE, he’d probably be fine. He’s a good athlete, but it’s going to take too long for him to be anything of a decent NFL-style QB.

          • deez

            But the question is: If he CRIES after losing a game in the NFL, Will Fox or CBS still hold him close and stroke his pretty hair?

        • 8sourcandy

          Love you avitar!!!!

          Love this line “Looking like some mint julep-sipping dandy on his way to a Reconstructionist party. ” Very funny!

          I disagree with your critique about his makeup.

    • TopIdol

      Bobby Moynihan as Snooki on SNL had better foundation than Lambert at the Grammys.

        You need to adjust your monitor. Or maybe you have been gazing at Kris’ white, blood-drained face for so long that you forgot what skin tone looked like!

        The boy is VERY pale. :)

          Aw I like pale people! Some of us just can’t help it, ya know?

    Tickets Still Available for Adam Lambert’s Indio Concert

    “About 200 more tickets were sold on Sunday, raising the total to 1,950, while the venue holds 3,500 people, said the casino’s Ciara Coyle.”

  • deez

    And someone wasted time writing those 2 paragraphs because they care so much?

    Haha. Doesn’t his mini-tour start this week? He probably, indeed, is on a plane…or at least making final prep. If he HAD gone to the Grammys, the argument would have been the exact opposite!

    “What was Kris doing there? Isn’t he going on his so-called tour? Shouldn’t he be reading literature about how not to get in the way? Doesn’t he need to get a haircut and pack, or is he gonna wear the same plaid shirt and holey jeans for two weeks, so he can look like a grease-monkey? He really SHOULD be paying more attention to his music instead of trying to hang around REAL stars.I’m concerned and disturbed!”
    :)

    • Kathy

      This. He tweeted something about getting ready for Asia. The concern is touching. But shouldn’t they be worrying about Adam attending the event, getting no camera time and being made fun of. Just a thought. Although in my mind getting a mention in the grammy opening isn’t a bad thing.

      I for one look forward to the day when we can have an award show that features no performance by the Black Eyed Peas. Yes Taylor is a sweet girl but enough with the mouth dropping open every time you win. I do have more hate for Miley Cyrus though. When is someone going to tell Taylor she needs vocal lessons. She is great at marketing herself but she really sounds horrible live.My favorite parts were Pink and KOL beating Gaga.

  • erinnthered

    I can’t sleep, and I can’t watch any more BSG, so…

    Adam needs to put down the shiny clothes. Who said Wayne Newton 2.0? That was brilliant, and oh so true.

    I bet you’re right about Kris being on a plane to SE Asia. Crazy people.

    Clive’s party is supposed to be one the most important annual business and schmoozing events of the music biz calendar. Kris being there will always mean more than an awards show where people are just sitting there waiting to know when they can go get drunk and eat.

    Can we please have a Sparkle Cow/ Colbert Nation rumble? It would be so funny!

    I’m glad Matt made it after his sold out show in Michigan last night. How many seats sold? Was it about the size of the casino? Any idea how quickly it sold out? Just curious…

    • pattyluponey

      The Forest Hills Fine Arts Center is an auditorium owned and used by the Forest Hills Public School system in Grand Rapids, MI…I’ve never been in there (I grew up 30 min away). It’s probably your typical high school auditorium, between 500-1000 seats. I know they announced the show in July?, August?. I think Matt tweeted it sold out about a month ago. It wasn’t sold out when he did his shows in November. I wanted to go to the show, but forgot about it. :/ He’s a pretty big local celeb around here (West MI), but then again there aren’t that many celebs that live around here. He’ll sell out shows here for a few more years, but even the Idol show at the arena in GR wasn’t sold out. I wonder how he would do elsewhere.

      Matt just got booked for another local performance. This place has about 2000 seats. I bet it sells out super fast, since this is his adopted hometown.

    • jukejoint8

      I don’t want a Colbert Nation/Sparkle Cow throw-down. Stephen Colbert loves that kind of rumble, and it gives lots of publicity to whoever it is he’s feuding with, like Rain (Korean pop star?), Miracle Whip, Barry Manilow, the Decembrists, etc. He brings them on, they have a rumble of some sort, and with Wayne Newton, part deux, it would be a sing-off, except they’d be required to do some impossibly high notes and then Stephen would throw out his wrist and have to bring in Kiri Te Kanawa or Alek Shrader (the guy in “The Audition” who had to do nine high Cs) to finish the fight. Lots of WN2.0 on screen. No no no no no.
