Bitches Please!

Tonight was the Grammy Awards so that means some artists turned out in ridiculous outfits to garner extra attention. As if they could actually steal any real attention away from the much deserved Adele Show. Adele sounded great, looked fabulous, and won in all 6 categories she was nominated. Bitches Please! But two women still tried. The first was Fergie. She's wearing Jean Paul Gaultier.

Just because the dress is Jean Paul Gaultier doesn't mean you should wear it. I mean was she starving for attention that bad that she had to where her underwear in public? She just looks ridiculous. There's no way she looked at herself before she left the house and thought, "Girl, I look good today." I guarantee she looked at herself and thought "Yep, this should put my name in the papers because I'm needing some media attention right now."

The next Bitch Please! goes to Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj wore a traditional habit that a Catholic nun wears daily and brought a man dressed as the pope as her date. Whenever celebrities wear outfits of a religious nature it is clearly a cry for the media to notice them and to start a little bit of controversy. It's just ridiculous. This "look at me, look at me" outfit is worse than Fergie leaving the house in her underwear and an orange lace tablecloth. The nun look has been done. Madonna's done it. Lady Gaga has done it. Lindsay Lohan has done it. Megan Fox has done it. Kate Moss has done it. Whoopi Goldberg did it for two movies. That's just 6 other celebrities off the top of my head who have rocked the whole nun look thing. I'm sure I could find more if I did a little googling. By the way Sinead O'Conner already did the whole controversial pope thing when she ripped up Pope John Paul the II's picture on SNL. It's been played out already. Bitch Please! You are not an original. This whole attempted look has already been done and it's been done better. Much better.

Just saw Minaj did a whole exorcism thing for her Grammy performance. While I'll give her 0.0008 points of credit for sticking with a whole theme for the entire night. I'm going to say it one more time. This has been played out. If you are going to copy something that's already been done make it completely your own or do the original better. Nicki did neither. The whole celebrity using religious symbols for controversial performance value is a bit played out. Lady Gaga did it better in the Judas video and even took it to a more extreme level. Nobody can do it better than Madonna. Period. Burning crosses in the "Like a Prayer" video cannot be out done no matter how much Nicki may try. I'd recommend she get a new shtick because girl is not doing this one well.
