Quote of the Day — Ethan Hawke Talks About Uma Thurman Divorce

“I call it the black years. It was really difficult. It was difficult in ways I couldn’t even see at the time. There was the obvious way in which it was difficult – the death of a dream, the inability to parent in the way that you want to. But for me it was – what’s that Dante quote? ‘At the midpoint of my life, I’ve come to the part of the forest where the straight way is lost.’ Nothing teaches you like getting leveled. And I got leveled in my early 30s. Nothing went exactly the way I thought it would. Wait a second: love isn’t real and, holy s**t, I put all this energy into not making the same mistake my parents did and I just re-enacted them all! I thought I was so much smarter than everybody. And I’m not.” Ethan Hawke on his divorce from Uma Thurman

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill on ‘The View’ — Interrupted Constantly

When I’m asked for the “type” of man I find attractive, I consistently say Tim McGraw. So I was extremely pleased to discover that he appeared on The View with Faith Hill, presumably to promote their new fragrances. I used the word “presumably” in the last sentence because it’s hard to tell why Tim McGraw was there, considering he could barely utter two words without those five yentes chirping constant interruptions. Watch below and feel free to put the clip on mute so that you can fully absorb Tim McGraw’s hotness without listening to the co-hosts’ inappropriate attempt to steal the spotlight.

Jennifer Hudson Sings Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” at Grammys — Incredible

Jennifer Hudson’s performance of Whitney Houston’s, “I Will Always Love You”, was technically brilliant and incredibly moving. She was subdued and emotional, and she gave us a beautiful reminder of the greatness that was Whitney Houston. Watch below. Goodbye, Whitney.

The Beach Boys Reunite at Grammys — Mike Love & Brian Wilson Still Hate Each Other?

The performance below infuriated me. I don’t have the energy to summarize all the ways that Mike Love of The Beach Boys wronged Brian Wilson, so just click here if you’re interested. That being said, Love and Wilson presumably agreed to the Grammy performance after much cajoling from outside forces, considering Love has been touring without any of the original band members for years and fallaciously referring to his crappy tribute band as, “The Beach Boys.” Translation? — I hate Mike Love. In the performance below, watch Love basically have sex with himself on camera and barely look at Brian Wilson, who is the unequivocal genius behind the band. The camera should have stayed heavily on Wilson and not Love. It’s absolutely ridiculous otherwise.

Bruno Mars at the 2012 Grammys — Kills It!

The award for best performance at the 2012 Grammys easily goes to Bruno Mars. He was phenomenal. The choreography combined with the throwback styling was brilliant. He managed to achieve something glamorous and over-the-top while still maintaining a sense of authenticity. That is hard to do. Watch below.

Taylor Swift Sings “Mean” at the Grammys — Excellent

I’ve always loved Taylor Swift, but her performance of “Mean” at the 2012 Grammys was especially good. Though her vocal prowess is limited, she makes up for it with stage presence. And in the performance below, she’s clearly using that stage to sing directly to those who wronged her. It must have been of notable enjoyment when she said, “someday I’ll be singing this at the Grammys and all you’re ever gonna be is mean.”

Madonna Attacks M.I.A’s Middle Finger Gesture — She’s Pissed

When M.I.A gave the audience the finger at the Super Bowl, I was pissed. And apparently, I’m not the only one. Madonna was equally pissed, saying, “I didn’t know about it until I left. I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. “I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity. It seemed negative. It’s one of the those things, it’s such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do … what was the point? It was just out of place.” Not only would I be furious about M.I.A.’s desperate need to garner controversy, I’d also be pissed that she stole the spotlight. News articles everywhere were more interested in the ramifications of M.I.A’s action than Madonna herself. So here’s my message to M.I.A — When an icon such as Madonna invites you to her party, you better behave.

Brad Paisley v. Paul McCartney — Paisley Insults ‘Kisses on the Bottom’ Album Title

Thanks to Brad Paisley, I finally feel comfortable insulting Paul McCartney’s new album title, Kisses on the Bottom. When I first heard it, I thought: “Either I have a dirty mind, or Paul McCartney really has a romp fetish.” Paisley is the only person with the guts to address the icon’s decision, saying, “It’s only February, but Sir Paul is an absolute lock for worst album title of the year. Actually, maybe all time… It’s like he’s kidding. He’s got to be kidding. Tell me he’s changing the title back to the real one, right? Oh then how we’ll laugh and laugh.” He then rightly took aim at McCartney’s creative team that signed off on the idea, saying, “Dear Team of ‘Yes Men’ surrounding Sir Paul: you really have taken it to a new level. No one said… ‘uh, Sir, uh… what about..um..hey maybe…” I’m actually quite curious what the album title was really meant to suggest. Has my tainted imagination skirted over some very deep, poetic meaning?
