Along with the Golden Globes, this is one of the better awards shows. People are relaxed and usually drunk. PLUS, this award means a lot. And I agree with my fellow celebrity blogger, Busy Bee Blogger (www.busybeeblogger.com) that Betty White is gonna BRING it this year with her Lifetime Achievement Award. She's naughty and hilarious.

And we're OFF....The Hollywood Self-Congratulation Season has begun.

2009 Grammy Awards Nominations - Why bother? "..and the Grammy goes toooo--TAYLOR SWIFT!"

"Excuse me, bitches. Imma win 'em all."

Seriously. Enough. She's good, but she ain't that good. Taylor Swift does not need to win every goddamn award up for grabs this year. I swear, if I see her name anywhere near the Golden Globes and Oscars this year, I'll puke...because I think the  "academies" are trying to make up some dumbass category just for Taylor. 

AnyGay. Here is the list of the major Grammy nominees, which were announced last night.

One more thing...add Taylor Swift's name to all of the categories she's not actually nominated in, because she'll win it anyway. Just a heads up.

Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift and TAYLOR SWIFT!

"A little help here??"

Way to make the rest of the world feel like total losers...oh, OLD total losers. But good for you, Taylor.

Last night at the Country Music Awards Taylor won every. Single. Award. Thank you and goodnight!!  Okay, really now. Apparently there's a big, fancy award called The Splarkly Entertainer of the Universe Trophy and Taylor won that one, too--AND she was the youngest infant to ever achieve that award. SHE'S 19, PEOPLE!!  What else is there? Oh, sure...she can go on to write a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical that will colorfully illustrate what an asshole that Jonas Brother was and whom she continues to write about, and then that will be made into an Oscar-winning film a` la Coal Miner's Daughter, except that Taylor will write the screenplay and star in the movie. Jaaaayzus. 

Don't get me wrong--I'm totally Team Taylor (especially with regard to StupidKanye). I just sorta feel inadequate and loser-y when I see someone as talented and goddamn likeable as Taylor Swift achieving so much at such an early age. 

Who's with me? I know Wynonna Judd is! Get a load if this!

The (gulp) JUDDS

It's been said before, but I swear:

Elvis is ALIVE and orange. And BITCHY.

via USWeekly:


"You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon. Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon."

Judd continued, "My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time ... 'cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost. You have to play catch up ... It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"

C'mon girl, put down those Alli Diet Pills and lets go get some pancakes! We'll all feel better.




 

Friday Gratitude to my Sweet Ones

 

I'd like to thank YOU, my darling readers once again...

We hit an all-time high in readership yesterday, and are well on our way once again, today! I nearly hyper-ventilated when I saw my numbers on the stat tracker last night. I've been on vacation the past two weeks and I've managed to squeeze in a few hours poolside and a couple of dinners out with my wonderful husband, Stephen. Baby, I know I've been buried in my work. Thank you for understanding the passion and drive I have for this blog. You're my angel.

I'd also like to present the new "Dipped in Cream" logo, which was so lovingly drawn by the genius that IS Krysztof Nemeth, whose fabulous website can be viewed here: http://charm-school.com/  Please check out his other drool-worthy girlies. Thank you, Krysztof, from the bottom of my heart.

Again, to my Loveys...my readers. I adore all of you. Please keep reading, commenting and telling everyone you know about "Dipped in Cream".

MMMMuuuaaahhh! xoxo ~j  

2009 Daytime Emmy Awardzzzzzzzzzz

"I'D LIKE TO THANK MEEEE!!"

The only cute ones there, Portia and Ellen.

Tyra, threatening with her eyes,
instead of smiling with them.

I know, the Daytime Emmy Awards are a bit of the red-headed step-child of awards shows. I really don't care about them, but having seen these pictures of Tyra (in two different dresses, of course. That copper Cavalli get-up is a bit much, don't you think?) Ty-ranny (can be pronounced two ways!) actually won, too, for (gulp) Outstanding Talk Show. Really? Here's what the self-proclaimed "Lightbulb Head" had to say about her show:

"You've got to move and I've totally redone my show from skin and guts — how it looks, feels all the way down to content, because of the changing generation," Banks said.

I take that statement to mean if anyone disagrees with her ass, their ass is OUT.

ANYshrug. Here's the list of winners (aka: people I've never heard of in my entire life):

Christian LeBlanc, "Young and the Restless"

MTV 2009 Video Music Awards Nominations

UGH. I don't enjoy DLR. Never did.

In other words, Beyonce` and Lada Gaga. But here's what I want to see: Kanye West and Eminem having a girl fight, Kings of Leon winning something--and hopefully performing, and Russell Brand being funny and the crowd appreciating him this year...right, Annette?

I'll probably watch the VMAs from my wheelchair in the activity room at "The Home". You youngsters can fill me in on some of the clods (as my grandfather is so fond of saying) are.

2009 Primetime Emmy Awards Announced

Neil Patrick Harris,
Host of the Primetime Emmys

Kathy Griffin,
Host of the "Schmemmys"!

The 2009 Primetime Emmys were announced this morning. Sigh. I really don't regularly watch much of anything mentioned below. I do try to catch "The New Adventures of Old Christine" with Julia Louis-Dreyfus because I LOVE her. (I think she needs her own category for those hilarious Healthy Choice commericals.)

I LOVE Julia Louis Dreyfus!

I do like "Flight of the Conchords" a lot, and it's cool Jemaine Clement was nominated. Why, oh WHY is Tony Shalhoub from "Monk" nominated for the 8000th time?? Good Lord. SICK. OF. HIM.

Oh, I'm THRILLED about Kathy Griffin's two nominations, AND she is also hosting the "Schmemmys", as she calls the Emmys for the "lesser" Creative Arts categories held a couple weeks before the "real" Emmys. I have a feeling this show will be far more entertaining. (Kathy has won for the past two years for Best Reality Series, Bitches! That's actually what it's called. Heh.)
