In Things Making A Comeback Today…

  • Definitely not Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Liz and Dick last night. Yikes. Those reviews are awful.
  • Tyra Banks bringing back the Life-Size sequel! I absolutely adored that movie. Will Lindsay Lohan reprise her role?! That would probably make a better comeback for her. [Source]
  • It’s happening. The Boy Meets World spin-off is complete because Adult Cory and Topanga are coming back as parents to a young Riley! [Source]
  • Chris Brown will never catch a break nor do we believe that he deserves one. Just sayin’ [Source]

Commentary: Grammys 2012

  • Did anyone see Bruno Mars’ silly tantrum backstage after Adele won for best pop vocalist?
  • Chris Brown. Quit your lip synching or gtfo the stage.
  • I don’t think I could ever get sick of The Foo Fighters.
  • I actually enjoyed Dave Grohl’s speech and appreciate him for voicing his opinion, but  it’s a shame they cut him off…
  • I could’ve sworn I saw a twinkle in Mark Foster’s eye when he was singing The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” My heart melted because it felt like he was just singing straight to me.
  • John Legend grooving to The Beach Boys was also quite adorable.
  • The Beach Boys are looking and sounding pretty great for their age! It feels like just yesterday I was watching them on that one episode of Full House.
  • Nope Chris Brown, we don’t have to forgive you. The Grammy’s can put you in our faces all they want, but I’m not budging.
  • Even though it wasn’t well received, I loved Taylor Swift’s dress during her performance of “Mean.” Now if I could only find out who the designer was…
  • Neil Patrick Harris is a babe.
  • I am still amazed by Katy Perry every time I hear anything about her and her music. Does anyone remember the poor review I gave her nearly two years ago? She’s grown as an artist definitely, but I’m not taking back anything I said. Her new song has potential for being the new girl anthem of 2012 though.
  • Adele SLAYED w/ her performance!
  • Bon Iver for Best New Artist – YAY! Great speech.
  • Jennifer Hudson’s tribute to Whitney Houston: Flawless
  • Nicki Minaj’s performance is not as family-friendly as I thought it would be. It was downright terrifying.
  • Adele is also the loveliest human being ever.  What a doll! She totally deserved all of her awards tonight.
  • (and none for Lady Gaga – sad day)

*************************************************************************************************

On an important related note, this HelloGiggles post about why people shouldn’t be okay with Chris Brown performing at the Grammy’s is quite insightful. I’ve had a similar opinion for awhile, but usually when I talk about that I make jabs at his performance and the more obvious scandal. This writer, however, has got some pretty solid facts and it is worth reading. And not to start something controversial, but the reason why that HelloGiggles post is mentioned on Yow Yow is so we can avoid things like this. It’s important for all of us to remember that there’s a border between a play on words or a play off pop culture, but this is not one of those times. It’s not cute anymore especially when it involves Chris Brown. Typing things like this out as a tweet is not the same as feeling the same way or wanting to be in that situation. Not being able to tell the difference between these things frightens me and makes me fear for the safety of other young women that have this notion in their head that it is okay to say these things.

He Can’t Be Avoided

photo cred | TV Guide

This morning, while watching The OC reruns on The Soap Network, I found Chris Brown playing a character opposite Willa Holland ie) Kaitlin Cooper.

I can’t get away from him! He would find a way to appear on one of my favorite retired shows…

Mac Lethal Raps to “Look At Me Now” While Cooking

This multitasking deserves some applause. Look at that huge stack of pancakes! Do you think that’s how many tries it took him to get it right?

Nomz pancakes – that’s all I really care about.

2011 MTV VMA’s Recap

– This isn’t over yet?!

– Who are these Pre-VMA show  hosts? So uncomfortably awkward. Please just bring back Suchin Pak and Tim Kash.

– Foster the People and Young the Giant, please gtfo MTV before the network eats you alive and makes you mainstream. Oh wait…

– Oh Gabe Saporta…I’ve still got a crush on you.

– Lady Gaga in the opening of the VMA’s. The look on Britney Spears, Adele and Justin Bieber’s face…priceless. Were her antics a little too much tonight?

– Congratulations Beyonce and Jay-Z who are expecting! One blog already think this might be a publicity stunt.

– I love Jay-Z.

– Miley, I don’t like your dress.

– Katy Perry – Too soon for that Kanye-Swift joke?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW84lHs-7Fg&feature=player_embedded]

– Chachi Gonzales, I see you dancing in the Britney Spears tribute! How adorable were those little girls dancing in it?

– I loved Beyonce’s performance!

Favorite performances of the night:

  • Adele
  • Beyonce
  • Jay-Z and Kanye

– Perez Hilton calls Chris Brown out for his completely lip-synched performance. Whatever – everyone was thinking it! [Source]

– Jay-Z also did not clap for Chris Brown probably because he’s the one that discovered Rihanna. Way to go Jay – bit also, did anyone even understand that performance?

– For some reason, I wasn’t really feeling Jessie J tonight as the house band.

– Katie Holmes presenting video of the year…that’s random.

– The VMA’s didn’t have a host this year, but I think we saw way too much of Lady Gaga or her male counterpart. It almost got to the point of being too obnoxious for me and I think the organization of her presenting the award to Britney Spears was a little weird because her tribute was cut short when they both had to introduce Beyonce. There could have been a commercial break in there because Gaga awkwardly stole Britney’s thunder.
