Chelsea Handler ain't afraid of y'all

Late night talk show host Chelsea Handler went in on Beyonce's Grammy performance and asked tongue-in-cheek why Beyonce hasn't taken the 'break' she promised (and we all so sorely need, including Bey).  The Knowles camp released her army of stans from the weave crypt to unleash a can of whoopass on Chelsea via Twitter.  Undeterred, Chelsea read some of the tweets on her show, Chelsea Lately, making fun of the stans' inability to spell or write a grammatically correct sentence.

2010 52nd Grammy Awards Beyonce

Beyonce performed an impassioned medley of songs for the Grammys last night.  She opened with an army of soldiersswagger jacked from the "They Don't Really Care About Us" portion of Michael Jackson's:  This Is It behind her.  Beyonce was dressed in some sort of chain mail-inspired dress with her ever-present stilletos stomping out her shoe game proper.  I am in complete awe of her ability to run and dance in those things.  I can barely manage to look cute while I sit in them because they hurt!  She broke out into "If I Were A Boy", followed by a cover of Alannis Morrisette's "You Ought To Know."  I was left wondering two things:  1) What on Earth the soldiers had to do with either of the songs she sang? and 2) Considering how much Sasha Fierce loves the spotlight, why she would use her solo time on stage to sing someone else's song, and an old one at that?  Don't get me wrong, I love that song by AM.  It is fierce and Bey did it very well, but why couldn't she showcase some of her new work?  I didn't understand the headbanging bit either.  You know, since we're on a roll here, am I the only one who feels like "Single Ladies" and "Halo" have already been out for about five years?

These hands don't do dishes

You may have thought giant weves and long painted talons were the province of inner city America, but you were wrong. The Tokyo Nail Expo 2009 is one of the hottest shows in town and is a bigger draw than the Bronner Brothers Hair Show in Atlanta. Even with the sagging economy, the Japanese nail art business has grown to 200 million yen.

The annual exposition is a showcase for the latest trends in the the upscale world of nail design. It attracts women of all ages to a competition between professional nail artists seeking to display the most innovative and outlandish designs. Approximately 50,000 visitors descended upon the Japanese metropolis to attend the show this year to view the creation of whimsical designs, many of the 3-D and costing in the thousands of U.S. dollars.

I once worked with this woman who had wild nails like those above only hers were maybe twice as long. One day someone asked her how she tends to her hygiene with nails like that. (I wondered, too, but would never ask something so personal.) She told us she wraps the toilet paper around the nails and pats or something to that effect. Plus with nail art like that you don't want to wash your hands too often or they will weaken and peel. From then on I was perfectly nice to her, but never ever ever touched anything after she did. Never mind her a$$, can you imagine the state of her....?

Beyonce did a tribute to Michael Jackson

I don't mean to bring negativity, but you all should know Beyonce has said several negative things about the Jackson family in the past. One of them is:
"I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American, and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons... I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation"
Beyonce said this during an interview with Elle magazine. I think the statement was incredibly disrespectful and caused a lot of fallout for her. Rightfully so. The statement was directly aimed at Janet. Janet is said to have responded with, 'Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do.'
Because of the fallout, Beyonce has been careful to smile and pretend like she is a huge Jackson fan and even wanted to do a tribute a the BET awards this year. (Supposedly the Jackson family nixed that idea because of her previous statements.)
If you have a hard time believing Bey would say something mean one minute then nice the next or vice versa, remember the Taylor Swift incident? People were hailing her as a saint for giving Taylor her time to speak at the VMA's. Beyonce later came out several weeks later and admitted she knew Kanye was going to do it ahead of time and that 'he was just standing up for true art' or something to that effect. When this started to generate a tiny buzz on the blogs, the story was buried. Just like the Taylor incident, I'm sure she did this to generate good press for herself more than to honor Michael.
My point in all this is to say, I think it is perfectly fine to appreciate her performance of the tribute, but please consider the source. It may or may not be sincere, so be careful who you praise and venerate. I am not a Beyonce hater. I enjoy a lot of her songs and loved her last tour before Sasha Fierce. I just don't like a lot of the things she says and does. She was one of the people responsible for putting down Michael so she gets the side eye.

Traci Bingham needs volunteers to walk her pet weave

Traci Bingham recently made a celebrity appearance at the United Breast Cancer event in Beverly Hills and she brought along her Baywatch beachballs and pet weave. I can't possibly be the only one who thinks flaunting your giant inflatable bust in a bustier at a BREAST CANCER event is a tad bit inappropriate. Besides the bust, her hair looks like it repelled every comb and brush within a 5 mile radius like a hunk of kryptonite. She really is channelling a mixture of Pamela Anderson, Lil Kim, and Wendy Williams.
