host ricky gervais was as awkward and wonderful as ever: “i recently just had a penis reduction. now i just have the one” (instead of two??) oh, ricky. to see the winners… well, at least the ones YOU care about… scroll down to the bottom for the full list!

and now, for some fashion.

the red carpet was all about the purple! which, of course, i thoroughly enjoyed. sandra bullock (in bottega venetta), leona lewis (in roberto cavalli), rose byrne (in lanvin), fergie (in elie saab) & jane krakowski (in j. mendel) all represented the color of royalty with beauty & grace.

on to the best & worst! jennifer aniston threw on this valentino gown, looking effortless and as gorgeous as ever. but it was truly the young hollywood crowd that took over my best picks. dianna agron, star of the tv show “glee” looked stunning in reem acra. perfect, perfect, perfect.

“avatar” star zoe saldana picked her louis vuitton dress no doubt for the color – the plum looks dazzling on her skin tone! actress camilla belle showed us exactly how to do the short dress in her giorgio armani piece… rarely do i like the short length for awards’ nights, but this is ravishing.

wrapping up my top 5 is another “glee” cast member – lea michele. her oscar de la renta gown was my absolute favorite of the evening. she’s got it down!

now brace yourself, it’s about to get bad. these ladies were pure disappointment. mariah carey brought some golden globes of her own, the poor gal. put those darn things away! and heidi klum – who we rarely see on the “worst dressed” list, is getting panned for her bizarre barbie-esque number.

90210 starlet annalynne mccord’s dress? she swung and missed with this grecian gown… it looks as if there’s a bit too much “cupping” going on up there. not flattering. funny lady tina fey chose a zac posen ensemble… with the ever-so-ugly calf-length flare.

christina aguilera walked the red carpet as a presenter with her “burlesque” co-star, cher. her peach versace gown had promise – until of course the metallic bodice took over. so close, christina!

the ‘vh1 divas’ concert is back! bet you never knew it left, huh? apparently the network put the show on hiatus for four years. but not to worry, vh1 is prepping for the big show’s comeback in september. with performers in the past like mariah carey & aretha franklin, i was interested to see who they tapped for this year’s concert. well, the ladies have just been announced.

leona lewis? check; she’s an absolute powerhouse. adele & kelly clarkson? definitely have proved their staying power. but miley cyrus? she’s 16 for pete’s sake. the concert is touted as having ”legendary” performers… i don’t really think miley can quite be legendary at the age of 16. yes, she’s got a large tween following, but let’s be honest – her vocals are nowhere NEAR the likes of past ‘divas’ performers.

regardless, the ladies will belt out their hits live on vh1 on september 17th, 9/8c. the network just released the following info with more details on the big she-bang: “for the first time ever, these leading ladies at the top of their musical game will perform together live at the howard gilman opera house in brooklyn, new york.  continuing in true ’divas’ tradition, the evening will feature a night of unforgettable performances from various performers, presenters and special guests. additional performers & presenters will be annonced in the coming weeks.”

the grammys are on cbs at 8:00 ET/PT. obviously my opinion isn’t worth much in the music biz, but i’ve colored the nominees below that i am rooting for just for fun.
