Fracas has little patience these days. Being almost too busy for pants (some of you will know what this means and the rest of you should just ask…) these days, it’s just a little much to ask of a person than to repeatedly try to access the Official Grammy Awards Site to view the list of nominees for the 2008 Grammy Awards, only to find that everyone else and their dog is also trying to do the same thing and therefore every second click throws you back to a white-screen-no-access-check-your-damn-LAN-settings page when you know the only problem is there are too many people all trying to view the same page at the same time. Imagine my surprise then, to actually get in! Hot Damn. Would you think I’m going to deprive the fraccy readers of knowing how many nominations hard-livin’, snort-happy Amy Winehouse received? You’d be right if you, like Gypsy Fra-Kitty, had a premonition of sorts, and just knew that I’d post the main part of it for you here. Ok..

The nominations for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards just wrapped up and there were definitely no surprises. Kanye West tops the nominations with eight, Amy Winehouse got six, the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and T-Pain each earned five. Akon, Dierks Bentley, Chris Daughtry, Feist, Tim McGraw, John Newton, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen received four each.

Sorry for the late post but I realized I could not miss out on Grammy fashion. It's one of the only awards show where you expect at least a couple of stars to dress in the most tacky and revealing dresses and not surprise people too much. Beyonce looked decent enough in the whitem Armani Prive dress on the right. However I would like to see her try some less stuffier dresses and go for younger colours and shapes. The dress she wore in her performance was very hollywood glamour but still to prim and proper.Surprisingly I really liked Carrie Underwoods dress ,left ,at the afterparty. Her hair was too Miss America but she pulls off the fifties look quite well. Scarlett Johannsen, right, wore Monique Lhuillier and she managed to make a bland dress look quite nice for the Grammys.

The Pussycat Dolls were criticized by stylists for the outfits they wore at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards (and I can understand why), but at least their music is still appreciated... Tags: Pussycat Dolls, 49th Annual Grammy Awards, fashion, pictures

Random Thoughts: As expected Mary J. Blige made a killing. I'm not to sure about Ludacris winning best album. Christina Aguilera did her thing, while performing James Borwn's, "... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
