A trailer has been released for the forthcoming Valentine’s Day movie, which casts every celeb ever, from Julia Roberts to Ashton Kutcher to Jessica Alba to Anne Hathaway. (Also on the roster: Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, you name it.)
Most exciting to us though, is the appearance of rumored couple Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, who play a pair in the flick and have a brief make-out session in the trailer!
Check out the fun, above.
Top Grammy nomination earners Beyonce, Taylor Swift and the Black Eyed Peas will be performing at the 52nd Grammy Awards in Los Angeles January 31, it was announced Tuesday.
Other nominees Lady Antebellum, with two nods, and Maxwell, with six, will also hit the stage.
Can’t wait!
I spy in NY…
Rachel Bilson hanging at the Target To-Go kickoff Friday (top photo), Honor Society rocking the New York Stock Exchange tree lighting ceremony Thursday (middle photo), John Mayer and Taylor Swift performing “Half of my Heart” live for the first time at the Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden Friday (bottom photo), Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory performing an acoustic set at Highline Ballroom Friday, John Legend playing piano at Tom Colicchio‘s Top Chef finale dinner sponsored by American Express at Craftsteak Wednesday, Mark Ingram scooping up the Heisman Award at Nokia Theatre Saturday night, and Matisyahu tearing it up at a Hanukkah concert at Webster Hall Saturday night.
On Tuesday night, YouTube and Universal Music Group visited New York’s Skylight Studio to celebrate the launch of lovechild Vevo, a high-quality music video streaming site that Universal, EMI and Sony have tapped into.
And what celebration would be complete without a leg-on-the-piano performance by Lady GaGa??
GaGa performed, drink in hand, for the A-list crowd, which included folks like Bono, Pete Wentz, John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Tommy Mottola, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Gavin DeGraw, Shania Twain, Clive Davis, L.A. Reid, Sheryl Crow, Adam Lambert and Justin Bieber!
Not a bad turn-out!!
Check out pics from the night, below.
Beyonce earned a whopping 10 nominations at the Grammy nomination telecast from Los Angeles Wednesday night!
Taylor Swift was not too far behind with eight nominations.
Poison Ivy favorite Lady GaGa earned herself a not-surprising five Grammy nominations, while R&B crooner Maxwell earned a less expected six nominations.
“I’ve been gone for eight years,” Maxwell commented. “I’ve been throwing out my trash, buying my milk and living in basic obscurity.”
Black Eyed Peas are on the board with six nominations, including Record of the Year for “I Gotta Feeling,” new rapper Drake earned two nominations, and Kanye West earned six nominations – all for collaborations with other artists.
Don’t forget to watch the show – live from L.A.’s Staples Center on January 31!
It wasn’t the best performance of the night (that spot is reserved Lady GaGa‘s glass-shattering rendition of “Bad Romance” and “Speechless,”) but it will certainly be the most talked about!
Adam Lambert hit the stage at the American Music Awards Sunday night for an energetic, borderline sex-show version of latest single “For Your Entertainment” that included shoving a male dancer’s face into his crotch, dragging a female dancer around the stage by her shoe, and making out with a male keyboard player.
“Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out,” Lambert later said, perhaps referencing Madonna and Britney Spears‘ liplock back in 2003.
“We’re in 2009 — it’s time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people’s eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I’m not for them,” he adds. “My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom.”
We totally agree with Lambert about the double-standard, but he should also keep in mind that those performances are generally reserved for MTV! (ABC seemed to take note of this, editing certain thrusts out of their West coast broadcast.)
With the exception of GaGa and Lamby, most of the night’s performances were a snooze – Daughtry strummed through the motions during “Life After You,” Janet Jackson‘s lipsync-ed her way through her opening montage, and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed “Empire State of Mind” for the 548823th time.
Shakira was decent – performing new single “Give It Up To Me” with the help of a step team, and Whitney Houston‘s first live TV performance in five years (“I Didn’t Know My Own Strength”) was fine…
Scooping up notable awards were Jay-Z for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Male (“Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t,” the emcee laughed, during his acceptance speech), Michael Jackson (two awards, accepted by brother Jermaine), and Taylor Swift‘s three trophies via London satellite, including Artist of the Year.
We’re not sure we can explain in words the hilarity that ensued when Ellen DeGeneres pranked Taylor Swift last week!!!
Check out the video above and see for yourself.
It wasn’t easy to concentrate on the groundbreaking performances at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night. We found ourselves either celebrating the life of Michael Jackson or wanting to beat the daylights out of Kanye West.
But, let’s get back to the music, shall we?
In case you missed it, here are Poison Ivy’s top two performances of the evening: a manic, blood-infused version of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga, and an acrobatic, nail-biting rendition of “Sober” by Pink.
Enjoy!
