There Were High Notes And Low Notes At The World Music Awards
Funny, when I hear the words "world music" I don't exactly think of Alicia Keys, Solange Knowles, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor! But there they all were at Monte Carlo's Sporting Club last night for the World Music Awards. And, in fairness, they were surrounded by pop singers from several lands, in getups that ran the gamut from adorable to delightfully awful! The elegance, the baffling, the Swan Lake, the Ugly — after the jump. More » -

Britney Wants To Buy Her Own Sex Tape
- Yesterday we heard there was no sex tape; today Britney wants to buy the tape she made with Adnan Ghalib from him, so she can destroy it. Even if they're not having sex on the video, she's probably loopy and naked. She might need to give this guy a lot of cash to make him go away. [The Sun]

- New show Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels has been halted after a crew member driving a production vehicle fell asleep at the wheel and killed two 19-year olds in another vehicle. Bret says: "As a father of two, I cannot even imagine what the families must be going through at this time. I will make every attempt to reach out to them to let them know that my heart and prayers are with them during their time of grief." As of yet, neither Bret nor VH1 have contacted the families.

Pink On Palin: "This Woman Hates Women"
- "If I were writing a letter to Sarah Palin it would be a lot of whys and hows. Who are you? Do you know? Why do you hate animals? Please point out Iraq on a map… This woman hates women. She is not a feminist. She is not the woman that's going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary Clinton would've been capable of … I can't imagine overturning Roe vs. Wade. She's not of this time. The woman terrifies me." — Pink. [Perez Hilton]
- Lindsay Lohan on Sarah Palin: "Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe? Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!" [TMZ]

After the Lakers lost game 4 of the NBA finals last night, Kobe Bryant told reporters that he was going to "drink about 20 shots" and then get back to work. He is such a smug jerk it's untenable. When TMZ is calling you a bad role model, you know you're really the pits. • Alicia Keys on international adoption: “We are all one. We’re not as separate as we oftentimes think. So I possibly would, when I’m more in the motherhood stage of my life.” • Part of Kate Moss's broke ass weave fell off while she was promoting her new perfume, Velvet Hour, in Berlin.

Fergie Releases Sex And The City Theme Song; Ears Everywhere Bleed
- So. Fergie has recorded the theme song for the Sex And The City Movie and it is fucking insane. Seriously. It's a fast-paced track that uses the original instrumental music from the show, with Fergie sing-rapping lyrics like: "Shopping for labels, shopping for love... Manolo and Louis is all I'm thinking of... Emotional baggage just replace them with Dior... Let's stop chasing the boys and shop some more..." It does not appear to be a joke. You can listen to the nauseating ditty here. Just a warning: You may puke or cry or both. [People]

Loose Lips
Rachael Ray says she's flattered that Cindy McCain "stole" her recipe for rosemary chicken. "These recipes are supposed to be accessible to everyone - interns, senators, students and families alike! I am flattered when anyone cooks my food," Ray tells Us. • Nicole Kidman is having pretty severe morning sickness. Stars: so barfy! Just like us! • Alicia Keys is qualifying some of the inflammatory things she said to Blender about gangster rap. She had originally said, "Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist." She just released the following statement: "My comments about `gangsta rap' were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music. The point that I was trying to make was that the term was oversloganized by some of the media causing reactions that were not always positive." [Us, People, Dlisted] -

Grammy Awards Fashions Hit The High Notes
Finally: Another awards ceremony! At last night's Grammys, celebrities seemed eager to cuddle up to the warm and welcoming bosom of a red carpet, and for the most part, everyone cleaned up nicely. Hell, even Lisa Rinna looked good, forgoing her usual penchant for leopard print for sleek silver. Other big successes: Alicia Keys, who always looks sleek; Fergie, who kept things minimal and sunny; Natasha Bedingfield, who dazzled in royal purple; and Rihanna, who had the most exciting dress of the evening by far — short, snappy, dazzling. But of course, there were the losers, too, and we don't just mean the people who went home without statuettes. Carole King would have been better off in a tapestry than what she was wearing; Taylor Swift looked like she was headed to the prom; Cyndi Lauper looked like the Bride of Frankenstein, and we're not sure what the hell Kelis was thinking.

BET Honors 2008: Chapeaus And Sparkles A-Plenty
BET Honors 2008 was held Saturday night at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and to our amazement, Tyra Banks, of all people, offered some of the most inspiring words of the evening:I'm gonna put on that designer gown and I'm gonna put on that bra and panties and cover up the cellulite on my bootie and push my way through that door... My hope is that the little girls watching tonight will know that I have now opened a lot of those doors and hopefully it's easier for you, that we worked hard enough. My ultimate dream is that one day...our dreams can be realized faster and without any of the struggle because of the color of our skin.
And the color of our cellulite! And while Tyra might have delivered one helluva a feel-good moment, the fashion made us a little sad. While Alicia Keys looked downright regal, we're worried about Gladys Knight. And Janice Bryant. And Jill Scott. And we're really worried about Dr. Cornel West. See the good, the bad, and the ugly for yourself, after the jump. More » -

AMA Fashion As Uncomfortable As Jimmy Kimmel's Jokes
The American Music Awards were last night, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. We caught about 30 minutes of it, and that was more than enough. Once we heard Kimmel make an ill-placed joke about his 14-year old son wanting to lose his virginity, we had to change the channel. (And whatever, Pretty Woman was on TBS at the same time!) The fashion choices on display left us with a similar feeling: While there wasn't anything downright offensive, something about the whole thing just read wrong. Like Beyonce, for example. Yeah, she looks great — but haven't we seen her in like this dress just in different colors at every single event she's been to in the past 5 years? After the jump, we give you our picks for the good, the good but bordering on slutty, the bad and the ugly. More » -

Fashion Rocks In London, Goes Drag-Tastic
Even my crippling fear of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound isn't enough to stop me from crying into my pillow, fantasizing that I could have been at last night's Fashion Rocks event held for The Prince's Fund in London. Because seriously - if Heather Graham got invited, why the fuck didn't I?! This being a "fashion" event, plenty of "interesting" fashion "choices" abounded. (Joss Stone didn't wear shoes! Uma Thurman continues to know she is beautiful! Naomi Campbell might as well gone naked!) Alicia Keys needs to keep her boobies covered, we think, but perhaps she was flaunting them only to show the contrast between herself and her markedly drag-queen looking peers? The famous folk who look like Lady Bunny, in a gallery beginning below. Oh, and one question: has Kate Moss has never looked better? More »
