“Girls” creator Lena Dunham looked very excited to meet Taylor Swift at The Grammys and we wonder if the two had time to chat about their experiences with men. Lena has been enjoying a steady relationship with musician Jack Antonoff, and she was thrilled when his band Fun. won two Grammys. Taylor appears to be between boyfriends at the moment.

For some reason, Prince decided it would be a good idea to wear dark glasses and a white cane to the Grammys. Maybe he hoped for handicapped parking or special attention, but the combination made him look like a blind person. (We can just picture people scrambling to “help” him down the stairs) Granted, the cane was sparkly as was his black hooded jacket, but the first thing that comes to mind is “vision impaired.” As far as we know, Prince’s vision is just fine – except it fails him occasionally when he gets dressed.
Despite all the ill-conceived decisions Rihanna has been making lately, she managed to out maneuver all the other creative and glamorous women the Grammys when she collaborated with designer Azzedine Alaia. Her custom gown is the right color, fits like a dream, and gives her new sophistication. Perfection. But it doesn’t change the fact that she’s back with Chris Brown.
Yup, Katy Perry probably had the worst dress of the night at the Grammys. She looks like a blue haired Pasadena matron. This plain long blue dress would be more appropriate on a mature woman than a pop star. But the evening was not a failure, Katy came to her senses and changed her gown, and she and best buddy Rihanna had a nice reunion. They had a falling out when Katy was married because Russell Brand thought Rihanna was too wild and a bad influence on his wife. Now the girls can have fun again.

The Clive Davis party carried on at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom Saturday while Whitney Houston’s death was being investigated upstairs. Kim Kardashian is obviously on the prowl for a new man because she wore a ridiculously low cut dress. (Why is she at this music event, anyway?) She stopped to chat with Britney Spears who looked rather plain next to Kim.
Aretha Franklin’s taped message on the Grammys revealed that she has lost a considerable amount of weight. She still refuses to discuss her hospitalization and surgery a few months ago, so speculation never stops. At first it was assumed she had lap-band surgery to lose weight, but the rumor that she had surgery for pancreatic cancer began to circulate. Either would cause weight loss. Aretha is strangely reluctant to reveal her health issue but she did say “Doctors believe my surgery will add 15 to 20 years to my life.” We hope so.
Men’s fashion is often ignored at red carpet events because women are so much more extravagant, but we have selected our Best Dressed Man and it is definitely NOT Justin Bieber. Justin looks like he rented a suit for a prom in Indiana. Geekorama! On the other hand, Taboo, (real name Jaime Gomez) the rapper from Black Eyed Peas, in his own subtle way, out-dressed all the other guys. He obviously knows fashion. He also took the red carpet opportunity to promote his new autobiography “Fallin” Up.” This Boyle Heights homeboy has come a long way.
Continuing her rush to ”grow up,” Miley Cyrus, 18, has decided she wants to be a Bond Girl. The next installment of 007 has been pushed back a few years, but that hasn’t stopped Miley from actively pursuing the role. She contacted producers about auditioning for a part in the next Daniel Craig movie. No more Hannah Montana for her. She arrived at the Clive Davis Grammy party (above) looking quite voluptuous.
Whitney Houston and her 17 year old daughter Bobbi both look very together at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party in Beverly Hills. Whitney’s past problems are well documented, but recently internet photos of Bobbi appeared, showing her drinking, smoking, and making out with another girl, at a wild party. Having parents like Whitney and Bobby Brown cannot be easy.
Everything good about this year’s Grammy telecast was directly due to female participation and domination. NO ONE could top Pink’s amazing acrobatic performance in the sky. She can not only sing (her voice was rich and powerful) but she can do it spinning upside down thirty feet up in the air, AND soaking wet! She never missed a note and her athletic moves were immaculate. She made every guy on the show look drab and boring. As always, Beyonce was lively and letter perfect – we love that she never says no and performs EVERYWHERE. Lady Gaga’s entrance in her “rings of Saturn’ outer space frock pumped life into the red carpet and kept viewers tuned in. These girls gave the formerly male dominated Grammys the best ratings they’ve gotten in YEARS.
