Lady Gaga’s Emotional Reaction To Grammy Wins

Lady Gaga won two Grammys for best dance recording (Poker Face) and electronic/dance album (The Fame) during the pre-telecast, so we were unable to see her reaction, but, thanks to Twitter, Gaga tweeted this photo to show her little monsters just how moved she was by the news.

Along with the photo, Gaga tweeted:

“beautiful photo taken of me the moment I found out i won my grammys. All the hundreds of songs I wrote, the thousands of shows, the fans, all the blood and tears flashing instantly. photo by haus member the famous “Dada” Williams.”

Kelly Clarkson Chimes In On The Taylor Swift Grammy Controversy

Kelly Clarkson has written an open letter to a record executive who defended Taylor Swift’s off-key performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards by declaring. Scott Borchetta came to Swift’s aid on Thursday after critics picked apart her duet with Stevie Nicks at the Los Angeles ceremony last Sunday. Scott Borchetta felt that Swift should be excused for the slip.

He said, “This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It’s not about that technically perfect performance.”

Kelly Clarkson took this quite personal, here’s what she had to say.

In a post on her official blog, she writes, “Wow… Dear Scott Borchetta, I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why it’s upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’… You know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better.”

“I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is ‘I’ll kick butt next time’ or ‘every performance isn’t going to be perfect’. I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay.”

The pop star then signed her message, “Sincerely, One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes.”

So there you have it! What side are you on? Hahaha

Miley Cyrus To Sell Grammy Dress For Haiti

Miley Cyrus is stepping up her efforts to help victims of the Haiti earthquake. She is planning on raising money by selling the dress she wore to Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.

Miley stepped out on the red carpet in Los Angeles wearing a teal-colored gown by Herve Leger. She has decided to put her dress on internet auction site eBay.com to raise money for charity efforts in Haiti, which was devastated by a massive tremor last month.

She tells USA Today, “I’m going to auction it (the dress) off on eBay for the Red Cross. It’s the little things you can do. I think it’s really important that everybody come (sic) together because disaster relief isn’t just now. It’s how we’re going to help years from now. We have to restore an entire place. It just can’t be one person, one foundation, one group of people. All people have to come together.”

Lady Gaga To Open The Grammys With Sir Elton John

This Sunday’s Grammys will get a kick start like none other when Lady Gaga takes the stage to open the awards show. And she won’t be alone.

Rumors have been swirling all week that Gaga will be joined by Sir Elton John and E! News is confirming the report. According to their source, “They’ll be doing some sort of medley (’Tiny Just Dancer’ or ‘Don’t Let the Bad Romance Go Down on Me’ perhaps?) set to a ‘factory’-themed set and costumes…We’re not quite sure whether Elton or Gaga will both be tickling the ivories, but at least one of them will. Gaga is said to be ‘rehearsing like crazy’ at Center Stage in Burbank, and one of the tracks getting practice time is ‘Telephone’.”

It was almost a decade ago that Sir Elton John joined Eminem for a duet at the Grammys. The two formed a friendship that would later find Elton coming to Eminem’s aide as he tried to kick his drug addiction. Something seems more fitting about Eminem teaming up with Gaga this time around.

Tune into The Grammys on CBS this Sunday, January 31 at 8pm.

Rihanna Is Going To The Grammys “Alone”

“I’m going to the Grammys alone…I’m still single.” Rihanna dismisses reports she’s dating Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Matt Kemp.

Matt has a controversial history – a former lover filed a restraining order against him. But the baseball star insists the court order, which was subsequently lifted, is a “non-issue.” His agent said, “Matt Kemp is a consummate Midwestern gentleman who has never displayed any act of violence towards a woman.”

Rihanna insists she won’t be taking the stage this year after she and Chris Brown caused the producers so much hassle in 2009. She says, “We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.”

I think it’s a smart move for her to go to this years Grammy awards alone given it’s only been a year since Chris Brown beat her up.
