Ah, it's that time again. For more awards to be handed out - some to those who deserve it, some to those who don't. Either way, I don't keep up with who wins what. I just like to browse through the red carpet arrival list. So I commented on the Grammys 2012 red carpet fashion earlier on this year and there were more nays than yays. I think the same goes to the Billboard Music Awards 2012 red carpet fashion.

Here are some of my thoughts on the red carpet fashion this year.

Carrie Underwood.

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie. What is this mess of an Oscar de la Renta? What's with the sharp corners, awkward hem length and messy tulle? It's not very princessy or particularly whimsical if you ask me. The bodice looks promising, your hair looks great, your makeup is elegant but below that, it's just a huge tulle mess to me. And what's with the colorful beaded clutch? Looks more like something Suri Cruise would carry on a shopping trip.

Carly Rae Jepsen.

Love the catchy song but I can't say the same for your outfits, Carly. The top is super chic - love it; the jewelry - very fun; the sneakers - very cool; the pants - ugh, not so much. This would have been a cute outfit if it weren't for those unfortunate striped silver disco tights. They're just way too much.

As for this nude chiffon dress, it's - there's only one word for it - dowdy. It looks more suitable for a movie award show than a music award show. Music award shows are supposed to be fun. This color just falls flat and the design is pretty boring for a twenty-something-year-old to be wearing.

Christy Teigen.

Whoa, origami bird! Cool concept but not very flattering. I just don't see how having random flaps and folds is attractive. It all just seems very awkward.

Julianne Hough.

So bath towels are being blinged to pass off as celeb-worthy dresses?  This is supposedly a wrap-style dress but the way I see it, it's a glittery bath towel with the end tucked under her armpit. Not her best look.

Julie Bowen

Now here's another bath towel dress. No, actually, I think it's a sack-style dress. Kind of shapeless with a drawstring hem of some sort. Ladies, you've already styled your hair nicely, put on decent makeup and picked out gorgeous footwear. Now why is it so hard to match an equally lovely dress to complete your look? What goes through your mind when you pick out the bath towel to wear to a formal event?

Katy Perry

Then we arrive at Katy who looks like she's lost some weight. She's the opposite of Julianne and Julie. She's wearing an amazing shimmery lavender, mermaid-esque dress and silver accessories that complements the dress but her makeup and hair don't add up. Katy, it's time to go back to plain dark hair or blond hair. Cut it out. These dyed tresses are beginning to freak us all out. The goth makeup has to go too, seriously.

Miley Cyrus

Miley, you're killing me. Your hair! Your shapeless, revealing, pants-less pantsuit! Your awkward striped heels! What is this abomination?! I'm not particularly on the Miley bandwagon but I have to say that she's had better looks than this! This is horrible, I can't look at it any longer. She looks like she rolled out of bed and hastily grabbed her dad's blazer on the way out.

Natasha Bedingfield

Pocket full of sunshine, indeed. This is... even messier than Carrie's dress.

Not that this look is any better but if she'd removed the flower in her hair, maybe her overall look might have been better. Maybe.

Nelly Furtado

Nelly's look is not too bad - very summery and chic. Well, minus the awkward black bra or whatever it is that's sticking out and minus the crocheted choker (maybe that's part of the dress).

Taylor Swift

When I look at Taylor's red carpet pictures, all I want to do is yawn. Predictable looks every single time. Either it's a shimmery gown or it's a flowy lace gown like this. Her makeup is usually always the same and her straight hair is boring. Maybe some of you would call this dress daring or different but I just feel that it's just boh-ring.

Zooey Deschanel

So I've noticed that some girls in Hollywood are into the whole retro-vintage fashion. Zooey is one of them (explains the black tights we always see her wearing) and if you haven't noticed, Taylor Swift is also into the feminine vintage thing. Honestly, Zooey does it better. Well, let's compare their vintage wardrobes in another post. For now, let's look at Zooey's dress. Drab or fab? It's a bit on the ehhh side. Not sure I'm feeling the whole studded vintage dress thing or the black tights or the black heels or the bright lipstick. So it's a nay for me.

So there you have it. What do you think of the red carpet fashion?

Sooo... I've been growing my hair out for the past year and now my hair is down to the middle of my back. It's been a REALLY long time since I've had hair this long. I think I was 6 when I last had long hair. Now my hair is really long and I've recently decided that I can't stand it anymore. The weather is too hot to have hair this long. Instead of pinning my hair up every single day, I'm just going take the unfussy route and just cut it short.

The main reason why I grew my hair out was to be able to tie pretty braids. Total number of pretty braids I tied: maybe about 2. I'm past that. I don't want the pretty braids anymore. Y'all can have the nice fishtail braids and waterfall braids, I don't care. I just want my short hair back. The problem is, every time I cut my hair, it doesn't really turn out the way I want it to be. Well, even with long hair, my hair looks shapeless and so unglamorous. Story of my hair.

My current short hair inspiration: Brooklyn Decker. She's got AMAZING hair, short or long. How do I make my hair like hers if my hairdresser always cuts my hair into some shapeless mess?!

I really like how short and light her hair looks. In the first picture, the ends of her hair are pretty straight and I'm not sure that would suit the shape of my face (which is nothing like hers) but in the second picture, the ends are nice and soft which is how I want my hair to look.

So if I cut my hair and grow it back out, I would really like my hair to look like this. It's got nice volume and shapes her face quite well. I'm so jealous of her hair!!!

Does Brooklyn not look STUNNING in this white column dress? How does she do it? So envious right now. She's got the hair and the body and she is so pretty. I think we would make good friends. If we ever become friends, the first thing I'll have to ask her to do is introduce me to her hairstylist. Heh!

What does your hair  look like? Do you have a hair style inspiration like me?

So we watched This Means War yesterday. And let me just say: It was amazing... for the first thirty minutes. If you think it looks as exciting as it did in the trailer (which showed practically the whole movie), then I'm here to prove you wrong.

FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) sabotage each other's dates with Lauren (Reese Witherspoon) to win her heart. That's basically how the story goes and as far as it can get. I don't have to include the fact that there was an antagonist, Heinrich (played by Til Schweiger) because the main plot barely included this part.

Firstly, I was fooled into thinking that there would be lots of action in a steady and consistent, maybe funny, storyline. The first scene looked very much like a captivating spy-action film. The next few minutes into the movie was even better with some witty and smart conversations. Everyone was smiling and laughing. But as the movie progressed, it became clear to me that the 'romantic comedy and spy film' was actually a B-class (with some Hollywood production of stunts and effects) movie of crude humor and poorly developed characters. In short, it was boring.

I don't know if the part was supposed to be played like that, but Witherspoon's Lauren was flawed, fake smiles and everything. Lauren's personality was similar to the foolishness of Cameron Diaz's June in Knight And Day. Don't get me wrong. Witherspoon acts in great movies I've watched and loved, but her role as Lauren was just unlikable. In fact, all the characters were not likable at all.

Moving along to Chris Pine as FDR, good-looking womanizer who actually has a heart of gold by the end of the movie. Let me quote his IMDb profile before I start.  "Trademark: Frequently plays charming and likeable characters." Yeah. Right. Perhaps Pine wants to head in another direction for his acting career or is trying to play different characters a la Johnny Depp. Sometimes, different is bad. FDR was not only a very stereotyped character, but an annoying jerk with a shallow personality. Pine was plain disappointing in this movie. (I thought he was excellent in Unstoppable.)

Tom Hardy's Tuck exceeded my expectations. A little. Okay, I actually had no expectations. Like any other movie, Tuck's personality had to contrast with FDR's nasty behavior, so Tuck was the nice/pleasant/good/honest/modest guy. Obviously, Tuck was a much better character to watch but either the audio was just bad or Hardy mumbles because I had a tough time deciphering his conversations.

Trish, played by Chelsea Handler, was by far the worst character in the movie. I get that female main characters of romantic comedies need their gaggle of best friends, but seriously? A foul-mouthed friend with the crudest scenes in the movie? Wrong move, McG (or the one to be blamed).

SPOILER ALERT!

The only scene I found entertaining and maybe enjoyable, sandwiched between a bunch of boring scenes where FDR and Tuck spend what feels like a lifetime in different surveillance rooms to spy on each other, was the scene where Lauren danced in her kitchen while the two loves of her life darted in and out of her house. I liked how the camera rolled continuously across the rooms.

I disliked the ending. Immensely. FDR didn't deserve to end up with Lauren. It should've been Tuck, although he had a fair conclusion to his own story. There was not much difference in the chemistry between Lauren and Tuck compared to Lauren and FDR, but at least Tuck seemed more sincere and humble (?). Ah, why do I even need to justify a meaningless movie? I won't even rate it because it's that bad. (Okay, maybe not as bad as What's Your Number, but still.)

Well, if you like an anti-climatic movie with some crude humor and a lacking storyline, then be my guest. If you prefer movies with depth and significance, watch Leap Year (one of the most satisfying romantic comedies I've ever watched) or Just Go With It (hilarious movie for those who want to hurt their stomachs laughing) and heck, even The Bounty Hunter (which received poor rating despite its amusing humor).

[This is a sticky post so scroll down for more!]

So. The Grammys were yesterday and though I'm not a big fan of award shows, I do like checking out the red carpet arrivals. I won't comment on everyone's fashion choices because there are way too many. I'll go in descending order from A to Z.

Adele, of course, is first.

I heard that she won 6 Grammys. Congratulations, I guess. She went with a retro glamor Hollywood look with bouncy curls and bright red lipstick. Overall, I think she looked quite classy. The dress did her curvy figure justice and I love those silver nails. She didn't over-accessorize which is good because over-accessorizing can seriously damage a simple and elegant look.

Alicia Keys.

Love the dress, disagree with the hair and those Louboutins. I mean, what is up with the pompadour? I think she would've looked better with a chignon or even just a ponytail. The hairstyle has to go! And those heels don't do the dress and her legs justice! The straps of those Louboutins just made her calves look short and chunky. At least she had the sense to not over-accessorize as well.

Anne V and Adam Levine.

First off, OMG ANNE!!! Anne, you're tall, slim and gorgeous but WHAT ARE YOU WEARING???! That is not an acceptable dress. I don't care what anyone says, it is not elegant or different in a good way. It's just tacky. No, the fabric is not stuck in her thigh, it's just not there. Less is more, Anne. Unfortunately, the 'less is more' concept does not apply to your hair and makeup. Do you agree that she looks horribly pale and those straggly blond locks make her look less than supermodel standard? If she has a stylist, she has to get a new one stat. If she styled herself, then the only reason to justify her look is that she ran out of dresses to wear. Quite disappointed.

At least Adam made up for Anne's bad sense of fashion. He looks dapper in that three piece suit and his signature smile. Good choice, Adam. I'll have to deduct points from him though for even allowing his lady to walk out in that dress.

Carrie Underwood.

Simple and elegant. Can't go wrong with dresses like hers. Loving those teardrop earrings too.

Fergie.

Is it me or is everyone getting tackier by the year?! Love the dress, hate whatever she's wearing under that dress. Did she honestly think that this was going to get past everyone? Everything about her look should have gotten her a spot on the best-dressed list but she just chose to wear her underwear beneath this lace dress. Disappointed.

Jessie J.

The dress is gorgeous and so is her figure and makeup but her hair is awful. Those bangs shouldn't be allowed. It just makes her head look really square. She should have gone with loose locks or less severe bangs.

Kate Beckinsale.

I adore Kate. She always looks so classy and stunning. She's definitely on my best-dressed list. I just don't think I agree with the black sash dangling down from her shoulder. Everything else is spot-on. Love this look!

Katy Perry.

Hmm... The dress is pretty, the color is unique and she looks really pretty BUT her hair color still has to go. Blue is not you, Katy. I like her way better with dark hair. Agree or disagree? Also, her hairstyle doesn't really balance out her whole look. At least this dress looks better than the one she wore for the pre-Grammys event. The whole color blocking thing didn't look good.

Nicki Minaj.

Everything about her look = FAIL. WHAT IS SHE WEARING?! This is no better than Anne's look. Also, why is Nicki Minaj even a famous singer?!

Miranda Lambert.

I think Miranda always makes decent fashion choices like this one. The color is a little ehh but she still looks really good. For a curvy girl, she sure knows what looks good on her and I like that. Not sure what heels she's wearing but from the looks of it, it's probably a pair of strappy heels. Not too bad. What is there to not like about this look?

Rihanna.

I'm not a big fan of plunging necklines and I think only some look acceptable. This is a bit much to me. The gold cuff and clutch are really nice and the Louboutins (same as Alicia's) actually go quite well with the dress but I'm just not feeling the whole dress and hair and lack of lipstick part.

Taylor Swift.

You know what? First, I have to get this off my chest. I think Taylor's looks are SO predictable. I can almost guess what she's going to wear next - boring! She needs to take a risk. No doubt this dress is beautiful and sparkly and all but it looks so predictable on her. Also, I totally hate her new hairstyle. I think she looks better with her natural curls. This whole straightened hair thing is just ugh. It's almost like she's trying too hard.

Anyway, here's Anne and Fergie in better-looking dresses during some other previous events that they attended.

Isn't this much better? Red is hot, hot, hot on her and I love those heels. I was quite surprised to see that she wears a lot of revealing dresses which are really kind of ugh because I personally think that it doesn't take lots of cutouts and cleavage to look stunning.

This might not be Fergie's best look but I do think she looks way better than she looked at the Grammys this year. Keep it classy, Fergie.

What do you think of what the celebs wore to the Grammy Awards 2012? Honestly, I don't think this year's red carpet fashion was that tasteful. Too many people showing up in wacky outfits. Still, the better-looking ones made up for the other celebs' poor taste in fashion this year.

What do you think of award shows in general? Looking forward to the 2012 Oscar Academy Awards? I know I'm looking forward to the red carpet fashion.

Okay who else besides myself thinks that these two are adorable and look like they should be going out? It's no big secret that one of my guilty pleasures is Justin Timberlake. I happen to have a thing for boybanders (ex-boybanders as well), duhhh. I didn't really know who Mila Kunis was until recently. She's cute and what I'd do to have legs like hers...

... I'm finally excited for a new movie premiering in the cinemas on June 17th.

The Art of Getting By, also known as Homework, is about a loner called George who doesn't care about anything related to high school and has a talent for art. He befriends Sally and... you know how romantic movies end. Starring a grown-up Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts. You might remember Freddie as Charlie Bucket from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. Yeah, that one. Well, he's no longer a kid but he's still so cute.

Must-watch!

Don't you just love the poster for season 3 of White Collar? Matt Bomer is always sizzling as usual with his super good looks. I mean, everything about him is perfect! Seriously.

I am definitely not excited for the season premiere because Hilarie Burton has become one of the main characters now. Her acting skills are pretty poor and she's just plain irritating with that constantly tangled-up hair of hers. Trust me, it does not look sexy or natural on her. She looks like she just jumped out of bed and went straight to the set without looking at herself in the mirror. Let's face it - she doesn't even look good beside Matt, who deserves someone slightly younger and prettier like Gloria Votsis who plays Alex Hunter in the show. Heck, even Alexandra Daddario a.k.a Kate in the show looks better than this wild woman. Hilarie as Sara Ellis tries too hard to be the most gorgeous woman in the show - her eyes are always shifty, her voice is always husky, her ridiculous dresses are super tight and when she smiles, it looks as if her hackles are up, literally.

You know who looks the best in the show? Marsha Thompson. 'Nuff said.

Anyways, I hope we'll see more of Neal and Alex because they definitely have some chemistry going on between them. And of course we'll see Peter Burke and his ever-so-sweet and loving wife. Oh, and more Mozzie, please! I hope there'll be more exciting action scenes.

Don't forget that White Collar premieres this Tuesday on USA Network!

So I was just browsing through Yahoo's 2011 Spike Guy's Choice Awards page and realized that they captioned this Victoria's Secret model:

This one taken from Yahoo.

This one taken from allvoices.com

As this one:

Even though they barely look alike. That's Erin Heatherton in the first two pictures and Candice Swanepoel in the second. I don't think they look alike at all. But on more than one occasion, the caption on Erin's photo usually says Candice. And I just checked another site to see if they've got it right. They don't. It says Candice in the caption.

Whoever is writing up those captions should look a little more closely at who it actually is. Of course sometimes people make mistakes but Erin's not exactly unrecognizable. Just sayin'.
