The Grammy Performances 

:  The big performance at last night's Grammys was MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS . . . because 33 couples got MARRIED during it, and some were of the same sex.  QUEEN LATIFAH and MADONNA were also part of it.  Meanwhile, BEYONCÉ twerked a little and LORDE kind of looked like Gollum from "Lord of the Rings", but she sang great.

The Grammy Fashion Rundown:  Including Pharrell's Ridiculous Hat, and Madonna Dressed Like the Villain from "Poltergeist 2" 

:  The most-talked about fashion moment from last night's Grammys was . . . hands-down . . . PHARRELL'S very large, and oddly shaped hat.  But others made interesting fashion choices, including Madonna, Clown from Slipknot, Neil Young, Ciara and Paris Hilton.

It's not exactly NEW . . . it's been in Pharrell's hat-rotation since at least 2009 . . . however, that didn't keep it from becoming a SENSATION during the Grammys.

The hat immediately got its own obligatory Twitter account . . . @PharrellHat . . . and drew comparisons to a state trooper or Canadian Mountie, Smokey the Bear, Diglett from Pokemon, the "Sorting Hat" from "Harry Potter", and the Arby's logo.

And naturally, it launched a series of memes on social media, as well.

MADONNA showed up with her adopted son David Banda.  He's eight years old now . . . and was looking sharp.  Madonna wore a matching tux . . . but her outfit reminded us of Reverend Henry Kane, the villain from "Poltergeist 2".

 

 

Madonna was also wearing GRILLZ on her teeth.  She said, quote, "It pisses everyone off when I wear my grill, so that's why I wear it . . . when it matches my outfit."  She also said that she let David decide what they would wear.

 

 

That being said, the distinction for MOST DISTURBING outfit went to SHAWN CRAHAN . . . a.k.a. "Clown" from SLIPKNOT.  He was wearing an ESPECIALLY creepy clown mask.

 

 

YOKO ONO and her son SEAN LENNON were also down with the Madonna-like black hat style.  But AEROSMITH singer STEVEN TYLER went his own way, and wore all white.  Steven was also sporting some facial hair . . . a sweet mustache, plus a little on his chin.

 

 

NEIL YOUNG ALSO wore a black hat . . . but he didn't tuck in his shirt.

 

 

CIARA showed up wearing a gold-colored gown that showed off her growing baby bump.  She said it was hard to keep up with her fluctuating body shape, and added, quote, "Three to four fittings were necessary."

KATY PERRY wore a long white dress, with black music notes on it, that was partially see-though . . . mostly from the thighs down.

 

 

PARIS HILTON, who was there for some reason, was wearing a dress that made it look like you could see down her sides and her BUTT-CHEEKS . . . but there was a skin-colored part of the dress underneath.

 

 

BEYONCÉ also went with the sheer look, which revealed a lot of skin and skin-colored fabric, but hers was STUNNING . . . especially compared to Paris' dress.  And during her performance with JAY Z, Beyoncé went with a sexy, wet-hair look.  Somehow that worked.

 

 

ROBIN THICKE'S wife PAULA PATTON was wearing black and white stripes . . . sort of like what Robin was wearing during his infamous "VMA" performance with MILEY CYRUS.  Only hers is more zebra-like . . . and see-through.

 

 

ANNA KENDRICK was wearing a dress that showed off some nice side-boob.

 

 

The guys in DAFT PUNK were dressed as robots, as usual.

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS were wearing sharp suits that appeared to be made out of some VERY fine upholstery.

 

 

Speaking of interior design, SARA BAREILLES wore what looked like white curtains.  NATASHA BEDINGFIELD also wore curtains . . . orange ones.

 

 

PINK wore red.  She claimed she'd never worn red on the red carpet before.

 

 

TAYLOR SWIFT wore a "chain-mail" gown with a T-shirt neckline . . . or so the Internet says.  All I know is that she looks classy.  She said, quote, "It's so scratchy, I love it.  I think it's bulletproof! . . . It's like a suit of armor."

 

 

KELLY OSBOURNE had light-purple colored hair, and was wearing a necklace backward.  It made her look like her head was screwed-on backward, but maybe it's just a new trend or something.

 

 

By the way, OZZY and SHARON OSBOURNE looked happy again at a Grammy pre-party, when they KISSED.

JULIA ROBERTS' black dress showed off some cleavage during the show.

BLAKE SHELTON wore jeans . . . and MIRANDA LAMBERT showed off all the skin that's between her breasts, if that's something you're into seeing.

PAUL MCCARTNEY also had some jeans on.  But Paul also wore a tux . . . although it wasn't as flashy as the black and red one RINGO STARR wore.

LORDE didn't show any skin whatsoever . . . and that's OK because it totally fits her vibe.  And, you know, she's only 17.

Whatever GLORIA ESTEFAN was wearing, at times it looked like her THROAT HAD BEEN SLASHED.

Did Justin Bieber's Family and Friends Stage Some Sort of Intervention in Panama?   

JUSTIN BIEBER flew to Panama over the weekend, where, according to the Internet, his family and friends staged some sort of "intervention."  There's no evidence that it was any more than a vacation . . . but it is interesting that so many people close to Justin did supposedly gather there.

Was Justin Bieber's Arrest Exaggerated?  He May Not Have Been Drunk or Drag Racing After All 

JUSTIN BIEBER is still in trouble over his DUI arrest last week . . . but it may not be quite as bad as you've heard.  According to the latest reports, Justin had a "barely measurable" amount of alcohol in his system when he took his two Breathalyzer tests . . . and he may not have been "drag racing" after all.

But still, even Florida's "zero tolerance" law for underage drivers requires a reading of .02%.  So .011% is a barely measurable amount.

 

 

So maybe Justin wasn't legally drunk . . . but he did admit to also smoking pot and taking prescription meds . . . and he FAILED a field sobriety test.

So he probably WAS driving under the influence, and he probably WAS too impaired to drive.

Bieber Arrest Randoms:  Did Justin Get Special Treatment . . . Justin's Drug Use at Home . . . and His Latest Tweet 

1.  This isn't related to JUSTIN BIEBER'S arrest . . . but three Florida cops have been suspended for allegedly giving Justin a police escort last Monday, as he went from the airport to a STRIP CLUB.  This was when Justin first arrived in Miami.

 

 

It's not clear who gave the go-ahead for this, but it's being investigated.

 

 

 

2.  Meanwhile, RadarOnline says Justin received special treatment in the jail he was being held at after his arrest.  And supposedly, with all the attention focused on him, some other inmates had their scheduled releases delayed by a few hours.

 

 

But an official from the jail says, quote, "There's always a lockdown when you have to move a high-profile inmate.  That's just our standard procedure."

 

 

 

3.  TMZ has photos of the kitchen in Justin's house from about a year ago, where you can see that it's filled with weed and various drug paraphernalia.

 

 

 

4.  Justin's former housekeeper says drugs have turned Justin "into a zombie" . . . and she adds, quote, "I'm terrified he'll become the next Michael Jackson.  If he doesn't act now, I will hear one day that he has passed away.  It's heartbreaking."

Does Jennifer Lawrence Look Like Egyptian Actress Zubaida Tharwat? 

 

 

JENNIFER LAWRENCE may have a celebrity doppleganger . . . but it's nobody you know.  Her name is ZUBAIDA THARWAT, and she's an Egyptian actress. 

 

 

She's 73 now, but when she was Jennifer's age, there were definitely similarities. 

 

 

(Check out a side-by-side comparison here.  And scroll down for a gallery of celebrity dopplegangers that suggests Jennifer and RENEE ZELLWEGER are look-alikes.)

Kristen Stewart Plans to Shave Her Head and Tattoo Her Skull 

 

 

KRISTEN STEWART has an interesting item on her bucket list.  She says, quote, "I'm definitely going to shave my head before I die.  I will definitely tattoo my head while it's shaved before my hair grows back.

 

 

"I'm not sure which part, probably the bottom quadrant in the back.  I don't know what the tattoo would be, yet.  Still thinking."

Did Susan Boyle Apply for a Job That Pays $10.65 an Hour? 

 

 

The "New York Post" says that SUSAN BOYLE recently applied for a job that pays $10.65 an hour.  Sources say she walked into a BETTING PARLOR near her home in Scotland called Ladbrokes, and asked for an application.

 

 

The thing is, Susan is worth a reported $33 MILLION . . . so she doesn't need the money.  And that wasn't her motivation.

 

 

A so-called "witness" says, quote, "I think she saw it as a way of getting out of the house and taking her mind off things.  I have seen her around the town and she can appear a bit lonely.  She likes to be with people who know her and will look out for her."

Firefighters Were Called to an Australian Hotel . . . But It Was Just Snoop Lighting Up in His Room 

 

 

Police were called to an Australian hotel Thursday night, after the smoke detector in one of the rooms went off.  But it turned out that was SNOOP DOGG'S room . . . and he was just, you know, doing what Snoop do.

 

 

But the firemen were cool, and Snoop even took pictures with them.  And by the way, there's no word WHAT Snoop was smoking.  (Check out the pics here.)

What's Something People Do That You Hate . . . But Love to Do Yourself?

What's something people do that you HATE . . . but love to do yourself?  A few examples are clicking the end of a pen . . . driving the speed limit . . . and talking about your dreams.

1.  Singing along with music in the car.  Everyone thinks, "THEIR singing ruins the song.  Only I'M allowed to sing, because my singing enhances the music."

 

 

2.  Clicking the end of a pen.  It's so annoying when other people do it, but amazingly therapeutic when YOU do it.

 

 

3.  Driving the speed limit.  When you're behind someone driving the speed limit, you're like, "Get off the road, GRANDMA."  When YOU'RE driving the speed limit and someone's tailgating YOU, it's like, "Eff you, guy, I'm driving the legal limit."

 

 

4.  Talking about dreams.  Face it:  The dream someone had last night is boring and you don't want to hear about it.  The dream YOU had, on the other hand, is amazing and vivid.

 

 

5.  Hooking up with someone else after a relationship ends.  After a break-up, it's cool for YOU to go out to get-it-on . . . but the world ENDS if your ex does the same thing.

 

 

6.  Leaving something in a store where it doesn't belong.  When someone else does it, it's because they're lazy and rude.  When you do it, it's because you're busy and it's fine.  (Reddit)
