BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2012 RECAP

Last night was the Billboard Music Awards 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Honestly, the one reason why I tuned into this broadcast was LMFAO of course! If I spoke too soon, hold on to your horses because LMFAO ended up opening up the show with my song "Sexy and I Know It". But honestly, that was probably one of the top highlights of the night, including Jordin Sparks' & John Legend's tribute to Whitney Houston, and the Alicia Keys & Stevie Wonder duet. Hosts Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen were pretty lackluster in my opinion. They definitely did not make me want to tune into the show, more or less, see what they had to say! I felt for one of music's more iconic nights, especially in Las Vegas, the chosen hosts should have lively, out-of-this-world personalities, don't you?! I felt it was too forced!

If this awards show had any impact on me, it would have to be British boy band The Wanted! All these guys are sooo cute, I'm a fan! Yes, the performances by Justin Bieber and Usher were cool (especially Usher's), but when I think of one pretty bad performance, I would have to give it to Chris Brown. Call me biased already against Chris Brown, but even though he's a great dancer, I AM TIRED OF HIM LIP-SYNCING! IT'S HORRID! Like how more fake do you have to be?

Whitney Houston's Cause of Death Revealed!

So news broke out today on the cause of Whitney Houston's surprising death last month. According to the L.A. Coroner's Office, the 48 year old died from accidental drowning. At the time of her death, she had cocaine in her system, but the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease mixed with the frequent cocaine use caused her passing. Also according to toxicology reports, Whitney Houston had marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril, and Benadryl that supposedly "did not cause her death". I mean if you have all those substances mixed in your body, it seems almost impossible to come out of this situation alive and healthy. What is still not certain is if Whitney actually died from a heart attack, which is common to happen with the influx of drug substances.


Still an unbelievable tragedy to hear about knowing that she was still very young and had a child whom she was so close to. It's crazy how public figures such as her have no idea of the great impact they leave behind to loved ones and to the public. Let's keep her family in our prayers, especially daughter Bobbi Brown that she doesn't follow the same path as her mom in regards to abusing substances. There is so much more to be grateful and appreciative for and instead of harming ourselves, we should take great care of the body that we were provided.

GRAMMYS 2012 RECAP

The Grammy's were this past Sunday, and there was an eerie buzz surrounding the awards ceremony which immediately followed the tragic death of icon Whitney Houston. But the show must go on, and it did. LL Cool J hosted the event and right off the bat addressed the elephant in the room by mentioning Whitney Houston's passing and saying a prayer for her.

The Grammy's this year for me were pretty boring, I didn't even know who was nominated or who were performing really. From watching the extra long broadcast which was like 3 1/2 hours, Adele definitely stole the show. She won like all the awards in every category she was nominated in and her performance was flawless, even after her vocal surgery. Jennifer Hudson also sang a tribute to Whitney Houston, which was very emotional for everyone watching. For the entire list of winners, check this link: http://www.grammy.com/nominees



Now it's time to highlight the best dressed of the night:

ADELE looked beautiful in a black sparkling Armani dress. Having her hair down for once really brought attention to her pretty face.

TAYLOR SWIFT looked amazing in a gold silk mermaid gown by Zuhair Murad, I loved the higher collar.

GWYNETH PALTROW looked so sleek in a black Stella McCartney gown. The hair slicked back definitely made this outfit look so put together.

ALICIA KEYS showed off those crazy curves in a black Alexandre Vauthier dress accented with gold jewelry.

MIRANDA LAMBERT looks pretty in a Pavoni nude evening gown that perfectly matched her golden aura.

RIHANNA looked sizzling in a custom black Giorgio Armani gown with plunging neckline and high slit. She has the perfect amount of sex appeal in this outfit without making it look overdone, MY BEST DRESSED FOR THE NIGHT!

BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN RUSHED TO HOSPITAL!

Soon after the untimely death of the icon Whitney Houston, daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was rushed to the hospital twice within 24 hours, Saturday night and Sunday morning.

According to Radar Online, 18 year old Bobbi Kristina had a few drinks in her system before those in her mom's entourage gave her a sedative that made her knock out soon afterward. Upon hearing the tragic news, she was taken to the hospital for a stress-induced panic attack.

Father Bobby Brown cancelled his concert appearance with New Edition to be beside his daughter in Los Angeles. In a statement he said, "Obviously, the death of her mother is affecting her...However, we will get through this tragedy as a family...My daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles...She has been released and is presently with my family, including her siblings.”

I want to take this moment to extend my prayers to Whitney Houston's family, especially Bobbi Kristina since she was very close to her mother. Let's pray and hope that she doesn't follow in the footsteps of substance abuse that has plagued her family, and that she overcomes this tragedy in a positive light.

WHITNEY HOUSTON SHOCKING DEATH!

So while I was getting ready to attend a Pre-Grammy event at Hemingway's, I heard the news from a friend that Whitney Houston passed away. At that moment on the radio, one of her songs were playing which was deja vu in a way. I didn't get to find out much details since I was in a hurry, but I just know that the news impacted everyone...fast!

Whitney Houston was discovered unconscious in the bathtub at her Beverly Hilton hotel room. For Grammy weekend festivities, she was supposed to attend Clive Davis' big pre-Grammy party that was also at the Beverly Hilton hotel, 4 floors under her room. She was also working with singers Monica and Brandy on their performance for the Grammy's. Everyone said she looked tired and disheveled. Whitney was currently on the prescription drug Xanax that causes drowsiness, amongst others. Mixed with alcohol, both can have serious effects. She was found in the bathrub, unconscious, until paramedics declared she was dead.

The shocking news went viral fast! No one expected this to happen to the beloved Whitney Houston. Making a splash in the 80's, she was a straight hit amongst the masses. Not only did she have raw talent, one of the best voices in music history, but she was beautiful. The type of beauty that was a great mix of sex appeal and gorgeousness. It is said that her marriage to bad boy Bobby Brown was one of the biggest mistake she could've made personally and career wise. Many have seemed to blame the constant drug abuse to his ways, spiraling her life out of control. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown were always on the tabloids for their drug abuses, which made people wonder what happened to America's Sweetheart.

With the sad news that broke headlines yesterday afternoon, it shows how fast life can come and pass us by. Whitney Houston was such a beautiful woman with great talent that many stars today looked up to. The world definitely lost a star, but her music and inspiration will live on forever. Rest in peace Whitney Houston!

R.I.P. Whitney Houston : 1963-2012

COUPLE ALERT: RAY J AND EX-HOUSEWIFE DANIELLE STAUB

Hmmm, I don't think anyone saw this coming but what do you expect from these two?! I guess any is possible in Hollywood nowadays...

Danielle Staub is 18 years older than Ray J, who were seen locking lips. Ray J has a past for dating older women [Whitney Houston], but the one level both can relate to that despite their reality show resume, is that they have SEX TAPES!!!

Now this two-some really seem like they have a lot of similarities!!! Maybe they can make another sex tape with each other, that would be awkward and totally weird! Let's just see what happens with these two...

The CLIVE DAVIS Pre-Grammy Party 2011 - JAIDEN Style

Usher and Clive Davis

This is without a doubt the biggest night of the year so far, for musicians, and also for the viewers. The GRAMMYS is a two-way excitement, a two-way magical night for artists to claim such a prestigious award for their hard work.

And here on THE ONLY JAIDEN, this is the little ol' spot where artists are showcased for their fashion sense, and where better to start that off (this is my first Pre-Grammy/GRAMMYs post) with a couple of pics that I'll post up so you can see:

 
Diddy and Randy Jackson - this photo is a little odd to me. I don't know... IT JUST IS.


Sanaa Lathan


Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick - a great DUO


R. Kelly


Jennifer Hudson


Ciara and Monica - Hott In Nude Colored clothing


Keri Hilson and Toni Braxton (Toni got thick thighs, love it, but.. something's a little off about the face)

...And many more were there...
As I looked through several pics of musicians and actors at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party, and compared from years before, the way just about all of them were dressed was quite spot-on.

 I say "BAAAAAM!!!" *LoL*
