Grammys, Weekend TV Recap and more on Tonight! Feb 1, 20101:42 PST

Favorite Grammy Moments from Last Night

1.  Opening Act, Lady Gaga and Elton John singing “Speechless” and “Your Song” was fantastic.  The two of them collaborating together, with crazy sunglasses, playing the piano with soot covering their faces, this was a performance not to miss. Watch Lady Gaga and Elton John Opening Act at Grammys.

2. Pink’s performance was absolutely spectacular.  She gracefully performed, “Glitter in the Air” while swinging high above the ground, soaking wet and still charming. Watch Pink’s Grammy Performance here.

3. The tribute to Michael Jackson was breath taking, I’ve been watching it over and over again. Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson and even Michael, sang with all of their heart and soul on that stage last night, it was magnificent. It was also in 3D!  Watch Michael Jackson’s Tribute here.

4.  Beyonce’s performance last night was pretty incredible.  She was distinctive, and showed a side I hadn’t seen before. Watch Beyonce “If I Were a Boy” Grammys.

Brad and Angelina split? The Deep End is spicy.. Grammys and more on this weekend! Jan 29, 20101:31 PST

The Deep End is quite risqué.

Watched The Deep End last night, and I’m starting to like it, wasn’t sure about it at first.  But I’m digging the whole “I”m a first year lawyer out of law school approach” it’s working…for me at least.  I must have missed a segment of the show because the whole kissing contest with character Liam Priory (played by Ben Lawson) made no sense to me, it seemed a bit juvenile.  But all of the hooking up, cheating and love affairs seems right on for an ABC show, wouldn’t expect anything less. =) If you missed the show last night you can watch The Deep End: Where There’s Smoke right here.

Brangelina……are they over or what??

The buzz about the hot couple (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) splitting, show signs of being true, with the settlements, custody decisions and lawyers, ahh! I don’t know, seems like a publicity stunt if you ask me, do they really need any more attention?  If you want to get the low down on this legendary Hollywood couple, check out this clip on “Brangelina Rumors.”

If you missed any shows that were on last night… no worries we got them here.

American Idol recap, Life Unexpected, and more hot shows on tonight! Jan 28, 201012:41 PST

NEW SHOW LIFE UNEXPECTED IS A HIT!

Life Unexpected totally took me by surprise! Watched the rerun House Inspected last night on the CW.. Loved it, it’s so CW. If you’re into gripping plots about family, love and the unforeseen, then I’d definitely tune into the CW on Monday Nights.

AMERICAN IDOL RECAP

Last night on American Idol, contestants sang their hearts out in Dallas, TX. Neil Patrick Harris was the guest judge for the first half of the show. He was funny, honest and had a bit of an attitude towards Simon Cowell for never giving him a chance to speak. Joe Jonas, from the Jonas Brothers was the guest judge for the second half of the show (he was awful), and the funniest part was some people weren’t sure who he was. All that came out of Joe’s mouth was ‘yah,’ soo lame. Let’s go through my favorites from last night, shall we?

These are in no particular order just thought I’d share the best of last night.. Lloyd Thomas rocked. Big guy from Dallas, 29 years old who works as a dock loader. He was proud to share photos of his two adorable daughters, and was confident enough to tell Simon to leave the room, after Simon delivered an incredible compliment. Watch Lloyd Thomas’s American Idol audition here.  Kimberly Carver was absolutely fantastic, she gave me the chills for sure. Simon wasn’t too fond of her, but Neil Patrick Harris completely disagreed. Watch Kimberly Carver’s American Idol Audition.  Dave Pittman, is a 27 year old guy that was diagnosed with Turrets Syndrome when he was 9 years old, and when he sings the Turrets fades away and doesn’t effect his singing and performance skills one bit. Watch Dave Pittman’s American Idol Audition here, trust me, he’ll knock your socks off.  Another touching story was Christian Spears, who is 16 and was diagnosed with Leukemia on her 4th birthday. She blew all 4 judges away with her incredible voice. Watch Christian Spears American Idol Audition here.

Well, I’d say the Dallas auditions were a success, if you missed it last night and want to watch the full episode, watch American Idol Dallas Auditions here.

What else… on E! News Now last night, Rachel Zoe denies having an eating disorder, but after watching that clip you may challenge her take on it.

Katy Perry and the best auditions from American Idol LA…Check out what shows are on tonight! Jan 27, 20101:46 PST

American Idol Los Angeles Recap

Katy Perry was rockin’ last night as a guest on American Idol. She gave the show some edge with her honesty and bluntness.  She and Kara DioGuardi’s interaction was amusing, as they repeatedly egged each other on throughout the show. Watch American Idol Los Angeles Auditions here.

Okay, so lets do a mini recap of my favorites from last night.  #1: Andrew Garcia was my favorite! He gave me the chills as he sang “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5, which is also one of my favorite songs.   He had a nice story about his family, and he gave us a little glimpse of his break-dancing before he broke into song. Simon Cowell said that he is a ‘genuinely good, good singer. “  Watch Andrew Garcia’s American Idol Audition here. Second favorite, Tasha Layton, the young southern bell sang  “baby baby baby” by Joss Stone.  Simon even loved her. Click here to watch Tasha Layton’s audition from American Idol.  Jason Green was the most memorable, in my opinion.  This long haired, flamboyant kid sang “I touch myself” by Divinyls. Katy Perry was clear about how she felt, the words “I feel dirty” came out of her mouth after watching his audition.  This is an audition you have to watch, it’s too funny. Watch Jason Green’s American Idol Audition here. Chris Golightly sang “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King. This kid had a quite a story, and really showed this in his audition!! Watch Chris Golightly’s American Idol Audition here.
