Did Adele Yell at Chris Brown at the Grammys?

–Adele just lived out all of our fantasies by reportedly being mean to Chris Brown at the Grammys. I love the shade she’s throwing at him in this photo where everyone but him is giving Frank Ocean a standing O.

-Wait. Whatever happened, Adele ended up posing for a picture with Brown. Poo.

-Oh, and Rihanna and Chris were photographed smoking weed at a Grammy afterparty, just because her publicist didn’t already have enough damage control to do…

-Meanwhile, Chris Brown wrecked his Porsche after being chased down by the paparazzi on his way to a charity event this weekend. I think this is the part where we’re supposed to feel sorry for him or something.

-I didn’t think it was possible, but Angelina Jolie just took a bad photo. A bunch of ’em, actually.

–Drake made a new video about how he clawed his way up from the bottom (if you consider Forest Hill, one of Toronto’s ritziest ‘hoods, “the bottom”) and it features him working at Shoppers Drug Mart!

-Guys, Madonna just joined Instagram and it’s awesome, mostly because the last three pics she’s posted are super unflattering.

–Jesse Eisenberg is transitioning from actor to actor/playwright.

–Justin Bieber (who was surprisingly not as terrible as I thought he’d be on SNL) didn’t let a little blizzard get him down this weekend. He laughed off the snow with an “I’m Canadian” tweet and treated his fans waiting outside to pizza.

–Blake Lively skipped New York Fashion Week to hang out with Ryan Reynolds on the set of his new movie in Sudbury, Ontario. It’s like I don’t even know who she is any more.

–Leonardo DiCaprio still appears to be modelling his life after an Entourage episode.

-Meanwhile, I got Leo in Buzzfeed’s “Which 90s Dreamboat Is Your Perfect Valentine?” quiz, which clearly means it’s broken.

-I love this: fictional character April Ludgate penned a tribute to Neutral Milk Hotel’s real album.

–The Black Keys may have won big last night, but it’s not all good news. Frontman Dan Auerbach split from his wife.

–Vogue had to release the March issue featuring Beyonce early after the cover was leaked online. (‘Cause that’s just what we needed this month: more Beyonce.)

-In other magazine news, Taylor Swift looks adorably mod on the cover of Elle.

-Whoa. The Walking Dead‘s return last night scored a series high of 12.3 million viewers. And in the all-important 18-49 demo, it’s beating shows like American Idol, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. That’s NUTS.

–Saoirse Ronan is the latest star to jump onboard Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut. Who isn’t going to be in this thing?

–Jessica Chastain slammed those stupid rumours about a feud with Jennifer Lawrence.

-Speaking of JLaw, she appeared on an Oscar edition of Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns, in which she managed to out-Zach Galifianakis him.

-Oh happy day! A new Postal Service song!

–Celine Dion would like to wish you a happy Gung Hay Fat Choy…in the most embarrassing way possible.

-The first trailer for the Morgan Spurlock-directed One Direction 3D movie is out. So this is really happening, then?

-The cast of Party Down reunited onstage this weekend (even wearing the pink bowties) but were unable to confirm those movie rumours.

–Kristen Stewart (or at least Kristen Stewart’s forehead) showed up in a party pic on Ellie Goulding’s Instagram.

–Justin Timberlake released a new song today but it’s longer than 8 minutes and despite everyone going crazy about his Grammy performance last night, I just can’t seem to bring myself to listen to.

Grammys Best and Worst Dressed

It was a big weekend for red carpets! I covered the BAFTAs in an earlier post, so let’s turn our focus to the Grammys, shall we? Traditionally, I don’t pay much attention to this one, since it’s usually just a parade of hoochie, sequined-encrusted mall dresses. But the Grammys’ new crackdown on, um, cracks made this an interesting one to watch. Not everyone followed the new rules, but it definitely was a more conservative show than years past. That doesn’t mean there weren’t a lot of fashion winners — and losers.

Best Dressed:

This was the most un-Rihanna look I’ve ever seen Rihanna wear and, not uncoincidentally, one of my favourites. Though she probably should have flash-camera tested her red custom Azzedine Alaia gown (it was uncomfortably see-through in some shots), it was still stunning.
<——

 

Kelly Rowland flaunted her curves (and the Grammy rules) in this teasingly cut Georges Chakra gown.
——>

 

 

For once, Taylor Swift didn’t dress up like a sparkly princess. Instead, she opted for a mature J Mendel gown in white, which is perfectly on trend.
<——

 

Kat Dennings was a total charmbomb in her Grammy red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest, giving shout-outs to strippers and Kobe Bryant. I was also charmed by her short, architectural Vivienne Westwood dress.  ——>

 

Red is a tough colour to pull off on the red carpet, but Natasha Bedingfield had no issues in this fiery Emerson number.
<——

 

Honourable mentions go to Faith Hill in a lacy J Mendel and Florence Welsh, who left the curtains at home this time to wear a green custom Givenchy instead.

 

 

Worst Dressed:
Ok, Carly Rae Jepsen. You’ve been famous long enough now to have landed a decent stylist. A Roberto Cavalli dress (which looks like it’s made from a garbage bag) and frumpy hair just isn’t going to cut it any more.
<——

 

I love and adore Adele and she looks great post-baby, but this dress isn’t doing her any favours. It’s just too busy.  ——>

 

Jennifer Lopez‘s Anthony Zacarello gown might have come across as daring — if Angelina Jolie hadn’t owned the leg thing at last year’s Oscars. Now JLo just comes across as looking desperate (though not as desperate as ET Canada, who actually interviewed Casper Smart. On camera!).
<——

 

I don’t necessarily hate Nicole Kidman‘s Vera Wang gown, but I feel like she needs to step away from the lace-dress-with-visible-granny-panties trend. It’s been twice in row now!   ——>

 

Here’s Katy Perry in Gucci. Or should I say Katy Perry’s boobs in Gucci, since that was all anyone could focus on. Just ask Ellen.
<——

 

 

Dishonourable mentions go to Carrie Underwood (who’s Roberto Cavalli oddly made her look thicker than she is) and Beyonce (who managed to do something I didn’t think was possible — bore us).

Did Tom Cruise Beg Katie Holmes to Delay Divorce Filing?

On May 23, 2005, Tom Cruise couldn’t contain his excitement over his relationship with actress Katie Holmes. (Harpo)

-Well, this is oddly fitting. I started at Dose in 2005, shortly after Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah‘s couch in an unhinged declaration of love for Katie Holmes. And now, the day that I’m leaving, the pair announce their split. Looks like the divorce is Katie’s call; Tom’s rep just released a statement saying he’s “deeply saddened.” She’s already filed for primary custody(!), and reportedly refused his pleas to wait six months before announcing the split. There’s no word what happened (just a few weeks ago he was giving mushy interviews about her during the Rock of Love promo tour, and she was spotted wearing her wedding ring just two days ago), but expect this to dominate covers for the rest of the summer.

-In happier celeb news, Adele is going to have a baby!

-This is the second time there’s been reports of Jennifer Lawrence flirting with John Mayer. No, Jen. Just…NO!

-Dear gawd, Miley Cyrus. WHAT are you wearing?!?

-The cops accused of leaking the photos of Rihanna following her assault by Chris Brown have escaped charges.

–E.R. actress Parminder Nagra‘s divorce just turned nasty. Her ex claims she’s hiding some of her assets from him.

–Kelly Osbourne says she got drunk on a plane earlier this week because she was upset about her brother.

–Blake Lively continues to make us hate her by saying she eats cupcakes and doesn’t work out. She really needn’t try this hard.

–Ann Curry confirmed that she’s leaving the Today Show in a teary speech yesterday morning. Now the rumours about Savannah Guthrie replacing her have been confirmed.

-Another day, another bust up between Alec Baldwin and a photog. Why all the aggression, Alec? I’m sure there are more effective techniques outlined in Jack-Off: How I Out-Negotiated My Greatest Opponent: Myself.

-Here’s our first (somewhat blurry) look at Charlize Theron with a shaved head.

–Chevy Chase continues to be a beacon of light on the Community set. Oh, Pierce!

-I can barely believe this is happening, but George Clooney just took a really bad picture.

-Yikes! The guy who was dating Amy Winehouse when she died was just charged with two counts of rape.

–Snoop was busted in a Norway airport yesterday after custom officials found 8 grams of weed on him.

-Now that she’s split from her longterm girlfriend, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are 100% dating, claims Us Weekly. I’m still not sure if I’m totally buying it. Of course, I thought the ‘he bought her a horse’ story was pure poop and it turned out to be true, so what do I know?

-Check out the red band trailer for The Man with the Iron Fists.

–Lauryn Hill showed up to court today to answer charges of tax evasion.

–Justin Bieber‘s diva is finally showing. He abruptly cut off an interview when he didn’t like the questions.

-I can’t think of a more fitting way to sign off than with this video of Channing Tatum and Jimmy Fallon in drag. Enjoy!
