"What Not To Wear": Grammys 2013

02/11/2013

There were numerous hits and misses from style to sound that came out of the 2013 Grammy Awards, but one standout part of the annual event was the new dress code that CBS required as part of the night. In a memo sent via email to attendees, CBS outlined "Standards and Practices" for Grammy wardrobe. 

The memo reads: "Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic," the email continued. "Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure." But with every rule, there will be those who break it. Some of the 2013 Grammy attendees took great lengths to bend the rules, while others abided with confidence and class.

Jennifer Lopez will always be remembered for her 2001 jungle-style Versace gown (pictured below). For the 2013 Grammy Awards J.Lo stayed edgy by bending the rules, wearing a black off the shoulder dress with a large leg slit. J.Lo told Ryan Seacrest that leg exposure was not mentioned in the dress code memo. However, her slit did come dangerously close the crotch region.

Rihanna's sheer nipple-bearing dress red dress is in contrast to her 2008 look. Unlike some artist who chose to cover up, Rihanna seemed to make no modifications based on the new 2013 dress standards.

Katy Perry is the constant rule breaker. So it's no surprise she worked her plunging neckline.

Taylor Swift went from whimsical to fireball despite the new standards. In 2008 Swift looked romantic and feminine in a corset gown, but transitioned to a goddess style dress with a plunging neckline.

Fellow country star Carrie Underwood went edgier than years past. Underwood’s 2012 gown covered most of the singer's body. This year, Underwood played by the rules but still let her figure show.

The ever classy Adele made a move towards color this year, breaking away from the all black gown she sported in 2012.

Beyoncé is on top of the world right now, from Inauguration to the Super Bowl, not to mention tickets for her world tour go on sale this week. At the 2013 Grammy's Beyoncé showed her personal transition into power and motherhood. It's been said that Beyoncé's mother used to dress her for every event in clothes that looked like skating costumes. B's jumpsuit is bold and sedate, maybe she is dressing herself now.

T-Boz Opens Up About Her Health, Chili -- And Why The Music Business "Sucks"

01/22/2013

Tonight is the season finale of Totally T-Boz, so we're excited to share an interview Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins recently did with The Hollywood Reporter where she opened up about some of the drama we've seen on the show.

Watkins admits that part of why she wanted to do the show was to illustrate that people with illnesses can still lead happy and fulfilling lives. Watkins was was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia when she was younger, and in 2009, she revealed that she'd been living with a non-cancerous brain tumor for several years. Watkins feels that appearing on Totally T-Boz has helped raise awareness about these issues. "I’ve received so many tweets and letters already about people who’ve come out about their brain tumor and asked me questions about it," she says. "Sickle-cell patients are happy that I spoke up about it, too. I’ve always been told even if you reach just one person, that’s better than nothing."

"Totally T-Boz" Meets Blogger Perez Hilton Tonight!

Tonight on Totally T-Boz, Tionne talks to one of Hollywood's most notorious gossips: Perez Hilton. She's worried -- and she should be. Perez dishes more dirt in a day than most of us do in a year. And it's not like all that mud-slinging hasn't gotten him into trouble. This is the guy who named himself after Paris Hilton, after all.

To get you psyched for tonight's Perez-rific episode, we've compiled a list of few of our favorite controversial Perez Hilton moments.

• Earlier this year, Perez got caught in the middle of a rap battle when female rappers Azealia Banks and Angel Haze began a feud -- over Twitter. Perez quickly entered the fray, and took Angel Haze's side, calling Azealia an overt "attention seeker." Then things took a really nasty turn, with Banks referring to Hilton as a homophobic slur. Not, nice. 

• In 2010, Perez was blasted for posting, uh, questionable paparazzi shots of Miley Cyrus exiting a car -- when the singer was only 17. The gossip blogger was almost brought up "child pornography" charges for the image, but thankfully removed the questionable pic before any legal action took place. At the time, Perez made a video noting that while he likes being controversial, "I don't want to go to jail."

• In 2009, Perez's drama took a physical turn, when the gossip was punched by the tour manager of the Black Eyed Peas. It seems the guy was upset about comments made by Perez about Will.I.Am's alleged abusive past, and didn't like the language that he used. (Perez referred to him as a homophobic slur, but has since decided not to use the term.)

• That same year, Hilton took Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean to task for her comments about gay marriage. Hilton was one of the judges for the 2009 Miss USA pageant, and asked her whether gay marriage should be made legal. She responded:

"Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman."

Hilton was offended and took to his blog to battle it out with her. It became a huge national controversy, with politicians and pundits taking sides Eventually, Prejean lost her title on an unrelated offense (she was allegedly not fulfilling the terms of her contract.

So now that we've given you the dirt on Hilton, we hope you're ready to catch him tonight on Totally T-Boz, Tuesdays 8/7 c.
