Btw, my comment wasn't rude. You asked how many times you would have to spread your legs in order to become an actress. I just gave you a surefire way to do it, one that has worked for many before you.

It's advice, Mandee. Not criticism.


Well, it sounded like you were saying I have no talent and that I am ugly and that the only way I could become famous was by screwing everyone in Hollywood.

Nope, I was merely making a satirical comment, offering you a chance to see how others HAVE claimed success as I assumed your comment was a joke.

Having money doesn't hurt either.

Wow. You saw Prince!!
I have a friend in LA and she has seen him too and says he's FINE! She said he looked about 5'3" which is an inch taller than his quoted height of 5'2".
I'm not seeing where Kanye's talent is...to me his songs sound shit.
I also don't think Amy Crackhouse should have won so many awards.
But...you saw Prince!! *jealous*

How can he look 5'3". Doesn't he always wear 6 inch heals with the pants covering them. If so he should look about 5'8" if he is 5'2".

I am surprised that he did not get anyone fired for looking at him.


Carmen Electra said that he was boring in bed and had a small dick.

I've been to the Grammy's a few times. Extremely boring show every year. Even most of the performances are lacklustre. But Tina's last night was good, considering she is 69. Kanye West sucked as usual.

:eek:

Blasphemer! She may have seen him without heels or subtracted the heel height from the total height, I dunno.

And if Carmen said it, it must be true :tongue:...he may not be huge, or even big but he certainly isn't small. If you watch the first 20 minutes of the Rave Un2 The Year 2000 DVD, its quite obscene.

Yeah, that is true. If you want to know his size. Just watch the Rave dvd. That blue vinyl shiny outfit he wears with nothing on underneath it. It sure gives a prominent visible penis line.

Tina ROCKED the house last night! I want the short, shimmery, silver dress Beyonce wore. I think I would look better in it. :rolleyes::tongue:

Sorry, NJ - I just realized I left off your last bit.

I honestly don't think Kanye is bipolar. I think he is incredibly arrogant, but an arrogance fueled by the fact that he's also incredibly talented. And therein lies the rub.

Just my opinion, but I think I'm a fairly reasonably guy and I've been around Kayne a bit for the past few years.
Okay, that's a fair assessment I think he's incredibly talented as well. It must be the way the media edits his sound bites that makes him sound angry and off-balance at times. :rolleyes:

Normally I go for tall guys; but Prince is the exception to that rule. I don't care if he is 4'12" I would do him in a NYC minute. :biggrin1:

Wow. Okay, didn't expect this kind of question but whatever. What kind of question did you expect? :confused:

The attendees, nominees and performers were given nothing and paid nothing. Anyone who does this show does it for publicity.
WOW! I didn't know that! So they are all publicity whores.

You mean there were no gift baskets?

Sorry, didn't realize you were asking about gift bags. I didn't actually look, and was in Rihanna's dressing room at one point so I should have, though it would have been hard to tell what was from NARAS (the Recording Acad), or from Staples center, or from her label, or her management co, or on her regular "rider." WRT "official" Grammy stuff, nominees don't get anything, presenters and performers I'm pretty sure got a gift basket, but ever since the IRS started paying attention to them baskets have lost a bit of their luster.

Who must I screw to become a famous Hollywood actress???

Oh, Mandee. It's not worth it. Some still operate this way (both producers and actresses) but they don't tend to wind up getting very far, because once word gets out that you are an easy lay (which I'm not suggesting you are, just saying perception is more than half the game) it discounts your value for anything other than getting fucked. For those who do still function under the casting couch rule, there's a (increasingly gross) hierarchy you'd have to work your way up to eventually get to somebody like Michael Bay or Bret Ratner, you'd have to maintain the air of unavailability the entire time you're fucking them, and then drop 'em the minute you get hired by a non-scumbag director based on your acting talent.

Wow. You saw Prince!!

I have a friend in LA and she has seen him too and says he's FINE! She said he looked about 5'3" which is an inch taller than his quoted height of 5'2".

I'm not seeing where Kanye's talent is...to me his songs sound shit.

I also don't think Amy Crackhouse should have won so many awards.

But...you saw Prince!! *jealous*

LOL. I'm 6'1, so riding in the elevator with him was pretty amusing. It was just me and the Little Prince. I felt like fucking Gulliver.

In re: Kanye, to each his own. I think he's a great producer and has an "ear" that is second to none in the music business right now. But he's also a hugely arrogant asshole. So anyone who doesn't like him I can't really argue with.

In re Amy Winehouse - I do think it's unfortunate that we continue to reward the sick. I thought her record was incredible, and I'm a huge Mark Ronson fan, but damn...

:eek:

Blasphemer! She may have seen him without heels or subtracted the heel height from the total height, I dunno.

And if Carmen said it, it must be true :tongue:...he may not be huge, or even big but he certainly isn't small. If you watch the first 20 minutes of the Rave Un2 The Year 2000 DVD, its quite obscene.

Jesus... has Carmen only sleep with guys who are midgets? :wink: Navarro isn't much taller than Prince. Yeah, I'd be really surprised if Prince is hung. His package looks great, but he really is a tiny man. It's all relative.

So they are all publicity whores.

:biggrin1: That's everybody out here darling! I was too flip in my initial answer, sorry, I was tired. Most of the presenters and performers agree to it because they're honored to be asked by the Recording Academy and consider it a prestigious industry event. There's a consumer publicity angle of course as well, but I don't think that's what drives their decision making. Or, alternatively, it's unlikely NARAS would ask someone who's clearly driven more by fame than artistry to perform on their show. If that makes any sense?

PS I just rolled out of bed and my feet and knees are all swollen - pout. I've done this show so many times you'd think I'd be used to it by now. Bad night for new shoes I think. :rolleyes:

Kanye's singing was horrible and off key. He should stick to rapping.

fuck you. Kanye is the king of this shit. sorry, I got a little carried away.

Okay, now to the serious question(s):

Did Tina Turner hurt herself after that performance...I think she tried to do too much fuckin' with Beyonce's high energy ass.

Did you see Daft Punk w/o their helmets on and was John Mayer trying to crack jokes backstage?

In re Tina... I honestly don't know. I don't THINK so, but I was among many people backstage and the media center who were both incredibly impressed by Tina and scared for her. :smile: She's pushing 70, and still a spitfire, but by the end of that number she was clearly exhausted. She left for the airport immediately after the performance so I'm guessing she was okay.

I did not see Daft Punk in the raw. Er, meaning without the helmets. No one was allowed in their dressing room who didn't work for them. The mystery persists. I heard a rumor they are really the "Air" guys, but I have no idea the veracity of that.

John Mayer was a very late addition to the show and left as soon as he was offstage. He actually struck me as bit of a boor. Quite pleased with himself. Not too jokey.

^^ Oh YEAH!!! I forgot about that moment.

The way he was messing with "RiRi" was like boys in my hood mess with chicks that they're secretly banging. I also liked how she didn't even touch Beyonce and how Solange looked at her with slight contempt. It was too telling.

I am a big Foo fighters fan, what were they like?

They are very, very cool guys. I've actually had a few run ins with them. Very down to earth, normal, fun, funny rocker types. Don't take themselves too seriously. They are exactly the kind of guys you'd want to get drunk with in a dive bar.

I'm a PR guy. I don't want to get too specific as to exactly who/what I do PR for out of concern for my job, but usually when I'm at events I'm there in a public relations capacity. Sometimes I'm a guest of someone more important than me :tongue:. But usually I'm there in a PR capacity.

My favorite moment of the show was probably the Rihanna/Time number. I don't know how well it translated on TV, but live it was AWESOME. Plus there was me and about a dozen other people backstage doing that zig-zag dance move going "oh we oh we oh" - too great.

My favorite moment you didn't see had to be Chaka Khan's manager having a nuclear hissy fit while we were trying to get her makeup artist credentialed to enter the media center. I've witnessed a lot of hissy fits over the past few years but holy frijoles this one was hilarious. I've seen people argue about human rights with less passion than this guy had for Chaka Khan's makeup.

The reaction to Herbie Hancock winning Album of the Year, by the way, was not unlike when I watched this year's Super Bowl in a born-and-raised-in-Boston household. Total shock and disbelief. Up to that point it was a foregone conclusion that Amy Winehouse would win.

I did not catch the Rihanna/Jay-Z thing. Interesting. If he's fucking her that's the first I've heard of it. I know she's devoted to him because he signed her and basically crafted her into who she is. She's very young too. I know that no one carries more weight than him when it comes to influence on her. But I don't think I've ever heard serious rumors about him stepping out on Beyonce. Doesn't mean he isn't, of course. But it's news to me. I'll keep an ear to the ground though.

Awesome, thank you! It always kinda sucks when you find out someone you like is a prick in person, but good to know these guys are down to earth.

Forgot to add, they are very goofy too. In the best possible way. Lots of joke cracking, very playful. Fun seems to erupt whenever they're around. And they're really well-liked within the music industry, especially Dave. Even people you wouldn't think of being "buddies" with the Foos because of different genres/personas (Fergie, Puffy and Faith Hill/Tim McGraw all come to mind) love 'em some Foos.

really? LOL at the Chaka Khan thing! i didn't even see her on TV. pleese! you must keep filling us (screw them, i mean me) about all of the things you see in LA.

with the Rihanna thing, i thought it seemed kinda rude how Jay-Z was trying to speak for her as she was sharing her moment with her father. and yeah, i've even seen stuff where it's alleged that he beats Beyonce! but you can't believe everything you hear.

and i thought Tina and Beyonce's duet/number must've been fab in person! soooo jealous. :p

Chaka didn't perform/present but she won 2 awards during the "pre-tel" - which is right before the telecast in the convention center, that's where the 4,687 awards they don't give out live get handed out. So she came backstage during the show to talk to press and get her portrait done, etc. I was humming "Tell Me Something Good" for about an hour after that.

Thankfully I ran out in time to see the Tina/Beyonce duet - I missed the solos. I mean, first of all "Proud Mary" is such an awesome song its already practically ridiculous. The way those two did it was electrifying.
