Oh Snap!
We're currently watching the Grammys and while they are, as they always are, a little "eh" (odd tributes, weird mash-ups, and that chick from E! fucking up everything on the red carpet), we had to stop and talk about this.
We'll admit to a love-hate relationship with Mr. West. You can't deny his talent and style, but it's often his confidence that comes off as both a positive and negative aspect of him. When we heard about the passing of Donda West, we felt it; we knew all along, even without "Hey Mama", how important his mom was to him. And tonight's performance of "Stronger" finally had what we've been waiting for with each performance of the song--the amazing light up pyramid starring Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo, also known as Daft Punk. Seeing all the lights made us wish it was August '07 in Coney Island again. His moving tribute to his mom, with added lyrics to "Hey Mama", was touching. When it was over they cut to Carrie Underwood, with tears coming out of her eyes. The room was moved.
Then Kanye West won a Grammy. And he spoke, and talked again about how rap really isn't dead, and talked so much they did what they do at every awards show--they turned the music on. Kanye got pissed. I'd say you could see the rage in his eyes but he had those sunglasses on the whole time, and as he finally got to say something about his mother he said something about it being "in good taste to turn the music down now." Then he said he was the Greatest Artist in the World, and that if Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse won the Best album it would be "alright" because it was a good album (but, you know, clearly not as good as his own). He finally got off the stage. It was all Typical Kanye West at Awards Show, if not better since he won.
An hour, a few awards, and a completely different genre later, Ringo Starr gave the award for Best Male Country singer to Vince Gill. The paunchy country star got on stage, amazed that he just "got an award from a Beatle", and looked towards stage left and said "Can you say that Kanye?"
Ooooo.
We don't own any Vince Gill CDs. If given the choice, we'd pick Kanye in concert over the country singer every time. But tonight, for putting him kinda-sorta in his place, we're on Team Gill.
Hello Belle du Jour, Its great to meet cha!

Since bitch ass writers want to keep on crying foul play and refuse to end the strike, we've been forced to do without every halfway decent show and settle for buffoonery such as American Gladiators, and VH1's Celebreality. However, we forgot that there is intelligent life outside of NYC. Fear not kids, thank the lord for Brits who bear not empty ball sacks. From LDN comes our new favorite guilty pleasure: The Secret Diary of a Call Girl!! The half hour show covers the exploits of sex pot heroine Hannah/Belle, bringing some luster to the oldest profession. SDCG brings to life the blog Belle du Jour, in the flyest fuck-me pumps, giving us a peek into her refreshingly deep relationships with her clients. Oh yeah we meant to tell you that you can only find it online...BUT Showtime has picked up the show and its set to debut in April '08. We just want to take the time out to pat on the back to all the ambitious hos out there who continue to stand for their trade, and push for its social-acceptability! Kudos hos!

Super Bowl
Yay for New York! We always thought the Giants would win. But like most people tuning into last night's game we cared less about the game (which was boring up until the very end of the 4th Quarter) and more about the commercials.
One in particular stood out in our minds, and it starred the angriest supermodel around: Naomi Campbell. Isn't she a liabilty? Was I the only one hoping they'd have her throw the LifeWater bottle at the lizards? And will the Thriller dance ever, ever die?
That girl can walk a catwalk, but she is most definitely being outdanced by CGI.
