Announcing the 2010 Grammy Award Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:22:28 -0800

The Grammy Awards rolled out the red carpet this evening with a one-hour live show to celebrate their 2010 nominees. (Check out photos from the event here.) The night featured performances by previous winners like the Black Eyed Peas, along with the announcement of the acts who will be competing for the special honor. The results? This year is all about the ladies. Taylor Swift has already run away with the majority of awards in 2009, and she's towards the top here too, earning eight nominations including Record of the Year and Album of the Year. But somewhere out there, Kanye West is smiling, because his girl Beyonce bested Ms. Swift tonight with a total of ten nods.

As for me, I'm especially happy to see Lady Gaga get recognition in multiple categories following a disappointing run for her at the American Music Awards. Also worth noting - the boys of The Lonely Island are nominated for their music video "I'm on a Boat" featuring T-Pain. Nice to see the nomination committee has a sense of humor.

We'll find out who takes home the golden record player when the awards show airs on Jan. 31. To see who made the cut, just read more.

Beyonce, Lady Gaga Dominate the 2009 VMA Nominations

BuzzSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:40:08 -0700

The video that launched a thousand YouTube copycat videos, Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is, of course, all over the list of 2009 MTV Video Music Award nominations. Beyonce's got a bit of competition, however, in Lady Gaga, who ties her for the most nominations this year (they each earned nine nods). Beyonce said she is "excited and honored" to be tied with Lady Gaga, and that she's "spent so much time watching all the great versions [of 'Single Ladies'] people created all around the world. It's beautiful to feel you touch people and bring a song to life with a video."

As for the men, Kanye and Eminem have nominations aplenty, though it looks like Coldplay's video for "Viva La Vida" and Green Day's "21 Guns" will also be recognized. You can now vote for your favorite nominees here, and tune in Sept. 13 when Russell Brand hosts the VMAs for a second consecutive year. To check out a full list of nominees, read more.

Beyonce's Box Office Surprise

BuzzSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:15:34 -0700

The Beyonce Knowles thriller Obsessed topped the box office over the weekend earning an estimated $28.5 million-kind of amazing given the critical reaction wasn't pretty. Zac Efron's 17 Again came in at No. 2 followed by Fighting, another movie that debuted much better than expected.

The Soloist, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx had a somewhat disappointing debut at No. 4. and earned about $9.7 million. According to Variety, "box office observers had expected Soloist to debut in the $10 million-$12 million range. They say the pic could have been dinged by so-so reviews." Interestingly, Disney's Earth rounded out the top five, earning an estimated $8.6 million.

What to Download: New Music on iTunes

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:30:55 -0800

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. In addition to my picks below, you can also download David Cook's self-titled debut album. Here's what's on my list this week:

Queen of fierce: Beyonce's third album, out today, is actually two discs (which is somewhat meaningless to us downloaders). The first 10 songs or so are all ballads sung from the heart by Beyonce, but for the rest of the songs she morphs into an alter ego named Sasha Fierce (can you read that without giggling?) who fiercely sings some fierce dance songs. I'm already a big fan of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and am really impressed with "Radio," which is way more techno than I'm used to Beyonce sounding. "Video Phone" is another totally unexpected track that makes the Sasha Fierce name start to make sense.

They call her mellow: The critics seem to agree, Dido's voice sure is comforting, but that doesn't mean her songs aren't totally melancholy. It's been awhile since Dido released new music, and Safe Trip Home will not disappoint folks who dig her. I'm already enjoying several tracks, including "Don't Believe in Love" because of the sad violins in the background (reminds me of Al Green's "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart") and the delicate "Look No Further."

One more pick still to come if you just read more.

Pretty, Rosi music: So I was listening to this song, "Shine," from Rosi Golan's new album and was driving myself crazy because I knew that I'd heard it before - but where? Then it came to me: a Pantene commercial. But we won't hold that against her. If you liked Yael Naim's album, you'll probably enjoy many of Rosi's sweet little songs. I think "Hazy" is lovely and "C'est L'amour" should only be listened to with an eclair in hand.

Movie Preview: Cadillac Records

BuzzSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 05:45:45 -0800

Well, here it is, folks: A real look at Cadillac Records, the musical biopic people have been buzzing about lately - especially since we first caught a glimpse of Beyonce as Etta James. The movie focuses on several legendary greats, like Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, and Leonard Chess, portrayed by the likes of Jeffrey Wright, Columbus Short, Mos Def and Adrien Brody.

The story chronicles the rise of Chess Records in 1950s Chicago when, as the voiceover explains, "Sex had a sound. Danger had a rhythm. And freedom had a music all its own." Cadillac Records opens Dec. 5. To check out the trailer, read more.

Which Austin Powers Girl Is Your Favorite?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:36:21 -0700

According to The Boston Globe, there's a rumor floating around that Gisele Bundchen is being considered for the leading lady role in the next Austin Powers movie. She'd be following in the footsteps of past Austin Powers girls Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyonce.

Each of these ladies brought a certain something to the Austin Powers franchise, but which do you like best as Austin's female counterpart?
