Buzz In: What Was Your Favorite Grammy Performance?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 16:30:45 -0800

If there's one thing I can say about this year's Grammy Awards, it's that the performances offered something for just about everyone, from the indie rocker to the Beatles fanatic to the Sinatra lover. There were quieter numbers (Feist's
"1 2 3 4") and high-energy rockers (Amy Winehouse, live from London). And there was Kanye West's glow-in-the-dark "Stronger" featuring Daft Punk's first-ever TV appearance (that's them in the glowing skeleton suits). Check out the video of that performance here, and in the comments, let me know which performances made the long, long show worth watching for you.

Kanye Vs Rainn - Who Owned It?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 01:14:23 -0700

One of the funniest moments of this year's Emmys was the "Don't Forget the Lyrics"-style battle between Kanye West and Rainn Wilson. "Lyrics" host Wayne Brady had the two of them sing a verse from Kanye's "Stronger," declaring Rainn the winner after Kanye swapped a "ya" for a "you." Rainn's so nerdy, but he pulled off Kanye's Kate Moss line with style - and Kanye seemed to handle the loss a little better than he did at, say, the VMAs. Who do you think owned the competition? Check out the video and let me know.

Music Video: Kanye West Feat. Daft Punk, "Stronger"

Kanye West looks cute even when he's wearing those cheesy plastic sunglasses from the '80s that look like venetian blinds. Perhaps if I had a pair, I could get a better grasp of this new video for "Stronger," which is a take on the song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by French electronica duo Daft Punk. The track will appear on Kanye's next album Graduation, due out in September.

For the robotic, synth-happy song, Kanye goes with some dystopic Japanimation-inspired visuals - complete with mysterious subtitles - and casts himself as some sort of sci-fi protagonist. I'm not really loving the song, but the video is fun to watch. Tell me what you think when you read more

Who Do You Think Will Have the Biggest Post-Twilight Career?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:00:42 -0800

Alice Cullen is moving beyond Twilight: Actress Ashley Greene is in talks for a ghostly film titled The Apparition. The story follows a couple who is haunted after an experiment goes awry. Greene would play the female lead, so no more playing second fiddle to Bella!

I'll be honest, I wasn't all that familiar with Greene - or some of the other New Moon actors - before Twilight took off. Kristen Stewart's career was perhaps the most well known, but the gang's notoriety couldn't even touch the recognition they receive now. They're already landing big-name magazine covers, and I'm sure films like The Apparition are just the tip of the iceberg for Greene and the group as Twilight mania continues.

It makes me curious though - who do you think is going to get the most out of the film's success? Obviously, your first pick might be heartthrob Robert Pattinson, but let's not forget that it's sometimes hard for an actor to break out of a role that made him huge, since everyone associates them with the part. Maybe Kristen Stewart is a stronger choice since she had already established a growing career before Twilight took over? Or maybe even someone who's more on the sidelines, like Kellan Lutz?
