Fab Blab: Henry Holland on M.I.A Outfit

FabSugarUK — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:00:47 -0800

M.I.A caused a stir at the Grammy Awards this weekend in a sheer House of Holland dress with carefully placed polka dots. Some people have expressed outrage, as M.I.A is due to give birth any day now! Henry Holland has spoken about the dress explaining that he is "amused" by the reaction it has caused. “I was a bit worried about what the patch was going to cover with the belly involved, but she wore a little skirt with it. We are going through all the blogs and looking at all the comments people put about the dress. It's quite amusing."

Henry, who attended the Elle Style Awards last night, has also spoken to The Independent today. He explained, "I wish people would take more notice of how hard I work and the fact I have fantastic business sense." Henry also revealed that he is good at gymnastics, "Believe it or not, I was a competitive gymnast until the age of thirteen and even competed in national finals." Henry will present his Autumn '09 collection at London Fashion Week in a few weeks.

"Imma do the things that I wanna do. I ain't got a thing to prove to you."

Surely you've seen this video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans" featuring all sorts of viral "stars" like the "Chocolate Rain" guy, the Dramatic Chipmunk and, of course, Miss "Like, Such As" South Carolina. But I'm posting it today in honor of the band's win for Best Short-Form Music Video at this year's Grammy Awards. The others in this category were the videos for Erykah Badu's "Honey," Gnarls Barkley's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul," Alicia Keys and Jack White's "Another Way to Die," and Radiohead's "House of Cards."

When it comes to awards shows, anything music-related usually brings out edgier style, and last night's looks at the Grammys were no exception. While some were good, others were bad - and, let's face it, some veered toward the fug. Whether it was on the side or up high or really high, we saw an abundance of volume last night. Will you be duplicating any of these styles?

She's not afraid of color, kitsch and showing off her entertainer-toned bod. Go Katy! Here are her four key looks. She went dramatic pink in Basil Soda for the show red carpet, flapper-esque lavender Georges Chakra for the Salute to Industry Icons red carpet, fruit loopy for the stage, and ruffled pink Jenny Packham for the press room.

After a long night of fun-filled performances and red carpet madness, the Grammy attendees headed out in LA to hit up the after party circuit.

Buzz In: What Were Your Favorite Grammy Moments?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:31:49 -0800

Sunday night's Grammy Awards were so full of performances, I kept forgetting that awards were actually being handed out! My personal highlight reel? Like Pop, I loved watching a very pregnant MIA getting her swagga on with Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and TI. Lucky TI, he's actually in two of my favorite moments of the night - his duet with Justin Timberlake's the other. I also got a kick out of watching the USC marching band backing up Thom Yorke during Radiohead's performance. And I'm still wondering this morning what all that background noise was when Robert Plant and Alison Krauss accepted their final award - it couldn't have actually been booing, right?

Your turn! What were your favorite Grammy moments?

Political Grammys: Yes We Can Have a Secretary of the Arts!

CitizenSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:30:36 -0800

Last night while I was watching the Grammys, my ears perked up when the president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Neil Portnow began addressing a certain two-time Grammy winner directly - President Barack Obama.

Potnow wasted little time getting to his point: He wants the president to create a new cabinet position, namely secretary of the arts. On stage he persuaded:

And to our new president, we have a request: Our finest national treasure is our culture and the arts. It's also one of our most embraced and economically significant exports all around the world.

So it's time that we acknowledge that fact with the creation of a cabinet position of secretary of the arts to promote and develop this vital contribution to society everywhere.

Recognizing art and artists with a cabinet-level position would surely send a strong signal that America is serious about fostering a meaningful and vibrant culture, just as it's serious about defense or agriculture. Then again, you could argue that the government should only sponsor projects that benefit the public in concrete ways, and that the art business should thrive independently. What do you think?
