The 2007 Grammy Award Nominees Are…

grammy award

As if we needed any more reaffirmation that Kanye West is the top guy in music, the Louis Vuitton Don was nominated for 8 Grammy Awards earlier today, including album of the year for Graduation.

Amy Winehouse followed him with 6 nominations, including album of the year (Back to Black), song of the year, record of the year and best new artist.

Hopefully she can put the heroin needle down for a few hours and make it to the show.

Check out the major nominees after the jump. (more…)

Mark Ronson proves to be UK’s biggest up and coming star

Mark Ronson

Mark Ronson’s record-release showcase last night at Highline in NYC was the best concert I’ve seen in a while. Once a DJ/producer for acts like Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen Ronson is currently one of the biggest acts in the UK and his popularity is quickly spreading in the US. The stage set up featured the standard drums, keyboard, bass and Ronson on guitar but there was also a three piece horn set, bongos and chimes which all came together very nicely to recreate his electricish spin sound in real time. The star studded crowed featured industry bigwigs like Clive Davis and prime time entertainers such as Jay-Z and Beyonce along with dozens of beautiful & die hard female Ronson fans.

Here is Ronson’s latest music video “Stop Me” featuring Daniel Merriweather.

Amy Winehouse is Too Badass for Food

Skinny Amy Winehouse

She said no to rehab. And apparently also to food.I’m not Amy Winehouse’s biggest fan. Not because I don’t think she’s talented—I do—I just don’t get her. I don’t get anyone who’s famous and then misses gigs and seems genuinely uninterested in the fans who gave them that fame. She’s a little too weird for me. But I figured the baby-who-hasn’t-eaten-for-weeks look and her huge hair was a thing she had cultivated for a while, a trademark. Part of her essence.I figured wrong.

It seems like Ms. Winehouse was completely normal looking a few years ago. Buxom, smiling, basically tattoo free, and clean. She looked cute and friendly. Well fed. In no need of rehab.

Then something happened. Not being a Winehouse scholar, I have no idea what that something was. Massive amounts of drugs? A sudden urge to wear children’s shorts? A dislike of washing her hair? A midnight realization that her life would be so much better if she only looked like Nicole Richie? I don’t know. But something happened. Something drastic. It might rhyme with choke (and actually sort of be made up of the same lettering, minus an “hâ€?), but I wouldn’t want to point fingers.
