Personally, I love this look. The color is great, love the diamond ring, and her arm definition is STUNNING. That’s some shit you can’t buy.

We’ll have all the pictures of the dresses and a discussion of the winners later on tonight, but if you want to discuss the Golden Globes right now, this is your thread.

Gran Torino, the flick Clint Eastwood both directed and starred in, has taken the number one spot for weekend box office.  I love that the old dude is the one responsible for a $29M wide release open.  Bride Wars brought in $21.5M, followed closely by The Unborn with $21.1M.  Marley & Me dropped to fourth place after being on top for two weeks and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button held on to the fifth position.

Neil Patrick Harris hosted SNL last night with Taylor Swift as the musical guest.  They both did a great job in this skit, based on the material that they had to work with.

Note that I didn’t say “swallowed” or “injected”?  Yep, Amy Winehouse is in love with a guy she met while on an endless St. Lucia holiday.  And who got the story?  News of the World, of course!  Take her proclamations of love and sobriety with a grain of salt, for a couple of reasons.  1)  It’s News of the World and 2)  Amy was downing tropical drinks during the whole time the reporter has been spending time with her.  It’s really long, but you can read the entire article here.

Can you imagine how thrilled this new guy’s family must be?  It’s a mother’s dream come true to have her son hook up with Amy Winehouse.  Trust me on that.

Oh, and St. Lucia isn’t that miraculous of a cure-all.  Picture is Amy’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds.  Basically, it’s all I can stand looking at.

On vacationing in St. Lucia and meeting her new love, Josh:

I don’t think I’m ever going home. I was supposed to go last week but I thought f*** that, I’m staying!

 

Especially as I met Josh here. He couldn’t be more different from my husband, which is not a bad thing.

 

Blake looks like me, a right mess. But Josh is all handsome and clean and that’s what I love about him.

 

People might think we haven’t got anything in common but I get on like a house on fire with all his family despite them being so posh.

 

When I’m with Josh I don’t need drugs to feel good because he makes me feel so amazing.

 

We just had sex. . . can’t you tell?

On Blake:

Blake was rubbish in bed. Do you know what? Almost every time I slept with him it was like I was dead.

 

I don’t know what’s going on with us now and for the time being I’ve just forgotten I’m even married.

 

I’m just here on my own, happy and having a good time with Josh. I’ll deal with Blake when I get back. But our whole marriage was based on doing drugs.

So being with someone like Josh is much better for me.

On getting clean:

Before I came out here I looked at a photo of myself in the newspaper and was horrified.

 

My skin was a spotty mess and I was so pale and skinny. I thought to myself, ‘Girl, you got to sort yourself out or you’ll be dead soon.’

 

I was depressed, doing drugs and had no life in me at all. Coming here has changed everything. We’re having a great time together along with all Josh’s family and friends and I just don’t want the holiday to end.

 

Home is hell for me. I’ve escaped from it. There are drugs everywhere. I can’t do anything without everyone thinking I’m off my head on drugs, although half the time they were right, I WAS.

But here I feel so calm and peaceful and for the first time I can definitely say I AM off the drugs. I haven’t touched anything since I arrived and I feel the best I have in years.

Kanye West is on February’s cover of Vibe sharing more of his outlook and wisdom.

“I made a decision. I wanna make popular music, but I want less fans,” he told writer Sean Fennessey when asked if he was comfortable with fame. “I want the freedom of having less fans. It’s like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility. It’s like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s Björk.’ But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it. I definitely feel like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”

You know, he has a really good point.  I never feel as free as when I can’t afford to buy food.  Knowing that I won’t have to cook dinner is soooo liberating.  Not having enough in my checking account to cover the electric bill makes me feel like a soaring eagle.  Seriously.  Utilities are an imprisonment.  And to my husband, honey, hasn’t it been so freeing having never gone on vacation since we’ve been married?

Alright, I’m exaggerating a bit but Kanye needs a reality check.  The good news is, if Kanye whittles down his fan base, that should solve his surplus income problems.
