Anton Chigurh Stalks the Glee Kids

.
Javier Bardem, who won every acting award known to man, including the Oscar, for his role as Anton Chigurh in "No Country for Old Men", is reportedly going to play a guest spot on "Glee". Bardem worked with Ryan Murphy, the executive producer of "Glee", this summer on "Eat Pray Love", the Julia Roberts film which Murphy co-wrote. According to EW.com, Bardem watched the entire first season of "Glee" in one sitting, fell in love with the show, and pitched the idea to Murphy to be a Spanish hard rocker on the t.v. musical.

.
Bardem is only one of many Hollywood heavy-hitters who have either already been asked to be on the show or who are desperately pining to be asked. Katie Holmes is reportedly cast for a role, and many others, including Katy Perry, have been very public about their anxious desire to guest star. Perry even encouraged "someone to start a Facebook campaign for her". Oh, the irony. A show about unpopular outsiders has become so popular that every A-Lister in entertainment wants to join their club.
.
Some advice for the "Glee" producers: instead of focusing so hard on bringing in top-natch acting talent, your time might be better spent bringing in some top-notch script doctors to get those messy storylines and sometimes incomprehensible scripts in shape. And as for the Glee kids, if Bardem comes in one morning with his hair combed to the side and carrying a long metal "wind instrument", we'd run for the hills.

And Gay People Still Can't Get Married? Part XIV

.
In another edition of "And Gay People Still Can't Get Married?" we salute another straight, wholesome twosome who represent the best that is hetero marriage, and that which is so sacred that gay people shouldn't possibly be allowed to participate in what these two have.
.
Yes, we're talking about that match made in (crazy) heaven, one-hit wonder Katy Perry and comedian/BBC bad boy Russell Brand. Actually, they're not married, yet, but they are engaged, and we're sure that once they do tie the knot, it's a union which will last for decades. And all those voices in their heads couldn't be happier

Grammy Awards Wrap-Up




.
Kings of Leon, winners of Record of the Year. Is it just us, or are these scruffy, well-tailored guys sort of hot?





.





Scary looking, a frightening stage act, a controversial, possibly perverted personal life... oh, and Alice Cooper took the stage as well.
.
Oh, come on, you saw that one coming a mile away.

The Grammy Awards used to be an amazing show. Remember Christina Aguilera's earth-shattering "It's a Man's World" tribute to James Brown, Prince and Beyonce's scorching opening number in 2004, the really inspired odd couplings that produced some great, original performances, and hell, even Ricky Martin's star-making 1999 performance of "The Cup of Life"? But for the past couple of years, the show has fallen flat. Maybe we're in one of those out cycles where we're between stars; old ones have fallen out of favor and new ones have yet to ascend to stardom. Maybe the show's producer just sucks. We don't know, but we do remember the embarassment of last year's show when they were desperately pandering to the tween crowd, and they forced Stevie Wonder to perform with the Jonas Brothers, Al Green to perform with Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus to perform, period. That show was real dreck. But this year wasn't much better. The Grammys as a t.v. show really needs to get it together or they'll find themselves on the TLC channel, following the almost completely forgotten Miss America pageant.

Stop the Madness, Katy!


Katy Perry, fresh off her Carmen Miranda "fruit of the loom" fashion embarrassment at the Grammy Awards, showed up at an event this week wearing a "Hello, Kitty" top with leather leggings. Hmmm.
.
Okay, honey, listen. There's something you and all your fellow young-things out there need to recognize. Nobody, and we mean, nobody, will ever do leather/spandex leggings as well as Olivia Newton John did in "Grease". She wrote the book on that look, and no one will ever look as good as she did. Okay? So, please, spare yourself the embarrassment... don't even try it.

Rebound... Score!




Katy Perry might have embarrassed herself a bit at the Grammy Awards the other night, (see posts below), but this girl sure knows how to bounce back. Here she is at last night's Bondi Blonde Style Mansion's party.
.
Hey, Perry, not only do you go to the right parties, but you've got very good taste in party guests!

Carmen Miranda is 100

.
Thanks to our wonderful friends at www.OhLaLaMag.com, we discovered that today would have been 1940's movie queen and South American bombshell, Carmen Miranda's 100th birthday. Which might explain Katy Perry's fruit-laden dress from last night's Grammy Awards. The fruit thing was a staple of Miss Miranda's costumes. Obviously Katy Perry's stylist is a gay TCM movie queen, not that there's anything wrong with that! Bitch, please!

2009 Grammys - 9:14 pm

(katy perry)

Blink 182 gives the Best Rock Award to Coldplay. Lead singer Chris Martin admits they're not really a "rock" band. Smart move, Chris, maybe now Metallica won't beat the shit out of you in the parking lot later tonight!
.
The very, very unfunny Craig Ferguson tells some "jokes". Cut to audience: Lots of coma-like confused stares. He introduces Katy Perry who descends onto the stage in a giant banana, we're not kidding, and then she runs out onto the stage singing "I Kissed a Girl" wearing some kind of dress which looks like some of those crystallized Christmas tree ornaments that look like fruit. Are we missing something? What does a lesbian awakening have to do with a bowl of grapes, cranberries and bananas? Katy seemed overwhelmed by running around the stage and singing, out of breath actually. Maybe those bananas on her hips were really heavy, we don't
know, but it was a totally underwhelming performance.
.
Kanye West did a duet with a girl who we don't know... sorry, folks, we're not 16 years old, we're not up on all the current stars of Casey Kasem's Top 40. It was a pretty good performance, maybe because the girl did most of the vocals, but then that dip-wad Kanye West had to ruin a nice moment by announcing the upcoming "Best New Artist" Award, and then adding that he "wasn't sure why he hadn't won it." Nice, Kanye, you're all class.
.
The "Best New Artist" Award went to Adele. Brilliant, Grammys, you definitely got this one right. Adele's "Chasing Pavements" is an incredible song, and Adele is one of the best blue-eyed soul singers to come along since Dusty Springfield.
