The Candy Shop: Britney Spears, Sandra Bullock, Lady Gaga, more...

The Candy Shop

-Karen McCluskey on Desperate Housewives (played by 70 year old Kathryn Joosten) gets lung cancer in a new story line for the hit show. The concept is based on the actress's real life experience with lung cancer last year. She made a complete recovery (as will her character). Joosten is working with the writers to insure the topic is handled correctly. Via NY Post

 

-Dear God Amber Rose, what are you wearing?! If I was Kanye I would ask you in ALL CAPS to kindly change this horrendous outfit.

-Sandra Bullock doesn't have anything to wear to the Oscars yet! Only 3 weeks to go but the Oscar nominated star of The Blind Side isn't worried. "I'm oddly relaxed about it because it's someone else's job to finely stitch thousands of pleats and jewels into a gorgeous thing to make you look divine." She also admitted that she would be comfortable in anything, "Look, if I have to wear a trash bag I'll belt it with rhinestones and I'll make it work, but I'm not panicking for some reason because there are so many beautiful things out there that someone will not want to wear and I'll get it." via Contact Music

-Lady Gaga always knows what to wear to get people to turn their heads. She was the night's big winner at the Brit Awards winning Best International Female, International Album for The Fame and International Breakthrough Act. She also won the evening for most outrageous dress costume as usual.










-Britney Spears is the poster girl for Candie's and they just released their brand new campaign for 2010. She was shot by famed photographers Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Terry Richardson. She looks amazing and released a statement saying, "Annie, Mark and Terry are three of the biggest photographers in the world. I am honored to be working with them for my Candie's Only at Kohl's ads. It was an amazing shoot, and I know my fans are going to love the cool images." See the rest of the shoot after the jump...

Kanye and will.i.am are gay fashion icons...

Kanye West

...According to Fergie that is. Fergie recently had an interview with gay magazine The Advocate and took up the topic of hip-hop / rap music and gay audiences. She noted that while largely considered homophobic, Kanye West and the Black Eyed Peas have worked very hard to make the music more open and appealing to gay audiences. "Kanye West really did a great thing for hip-hop and made it very mixed and open." Kanye has spoken out against homophobia many times in the past, saying in 2005, "The bravest thing I did this year was speaking out against homophobia (...) because if you bring it up, people think you must be gay. But you don't have to be gay to not gay-bash." 


If you have any questions about this, Fergie would like you to simply look at will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Kanye West, saying, "They're completely gay-friendly. Are you kidding me? Look at how they dress!"

The CMAs like Taylor Swift too...

The CMA's: "We like women and black people too!"

In an effort to prove themselves as relevant and not out-of-touch with their current audience (and to prove that they like women), the Country Music Awards gave Taylor Swift four major awards. She went home with Video of the Year Award, Album of the Year, Female Vocalist and the coveted Entertainer of the Year. A female artist has not won the Entertainer award since 1999 (Shania Twain), and for the past 5 years the award went to Kenny Chesney.

The show as a whole seemed to get a face-lift this year as new-comers and younger singers were honored including Darius Rucker, the first Black artist to win New Artist of the Year. In a statement from the CMA's, they said "now that Obama is president, we're going to have to start giving awards to Black people too."

Of course, they don't like ALL black people as the night was not free of Kanye humor. Not only did Little Jimmy Dickens (is that his actual performing name?) come on stage to interrupt someone's speech by saying "Taylor Swift made the best video of all time. Of all time! You go, girl!", but Carrie Underwood sang "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye."

Let's hope this is the LAST time we have to hear about Kanye's antics at the VMA's. It is OVER. Taylor has more than recovered and was helped more than hindered by his crazy interruption. OK, you can have one more laugh.... "Kanye is crazy!"...  NOW it's over...
