UK Celebrity News, Fashion Tips, Gossip and Pictures

The 2009 Grammy’s brought us an emotional performance by Jennifer Hudson, a vibrant collaboration between M.I.A and rappers, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, T.I and Kanye West. A little less boring than some may have predicted the 51^st anniversary to be. 

However, the highlights of the night were the rather hideous outfits spilling onto the red carpet. Celebrities really pull out all the stops when it comes to their red carpet outfit, with some rather bizarre styles and shapes. And this year was no different.

Check out our five worst dressed celebrities of the night!

  5. Jennifer Hudson

  Although Hudson gave a beautiful acceptance speech and performance, we couldn’t help but notice that after her meal she had forgotten to take her napkin off.      Shame really because the rest of the dress looks pretty nice underneath.

  4. John Mayer

  Singleton Mayer, seemed ready for bed as he trotted up the carpet in what looked like some satin pajamas.

  Nice work Mayer, definitely on the right track to making Jennifer Anniston jealous!

  3. M.I.A

  Heavily pregnant M.I.A really wants to make sure she keeps her newly voluptuous figure under wraps by dressing as a marshmallow!

  However, she didn’t really have much choice in dresses with the star looking ready to burst on the red carpet. But still she is in our top 5! Sorry M.I.A! 

  2. Bai Ling

  I can clearly see that Ling really loves the new collection at Clintons Cards here! She is really taking advantage of their new birthday wrapping paper and large  bows. Very inventive I must say…for a kids fancy dress party more like!

  1. Cyndi Lauper 

  Cyndi, Cyndi, Cyndi, now what are you playing at? You may have a sexy little figure for your age and you may just want to have a little fun, but really the Morticia   Adams look really isn’t so great and definitely not fun for us to look at!

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, have announced the biggest celebrity fur offenders of the year, with Madonna hitting top spot.

Following in suit to the ‘Material Girl’ star lies a group of cold-hearted celebrities who have no shame in flashing the hideous furs.

And from the top, the losers are…

MADONNA

Known for her fear of growing old, the singer loves to show the world just how ‘young and hip’ she is with her muscular figure, raunchy dance moves and dress sense.

However, when Madonna flaunts herself in fur, you can see why no one has copied her style since 1984 and that wearing fur does not make her look any younger, hip our trendy, just old, selfish and ignorant.

MARY KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN

The pint sized twins are continual offenders of wearing fur products, showing no remorse or respect for organisations who continually fight for the ban on fur products around the world.

Since fur piles on the pounds and adds on the years, the twins must be using it as a cover up to keep the media away from the battling problems with bulimia.  I don’t think the trick is working ladies,  just go and eat a burger instead.

MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL

The Batman actress seems to have buried herself into some rather ugly fur coats, showing no fashion sense, grace or style.

However, her style on herself contradicts her recent ‘charity work’ with Fisher Price, which sees the star helping to promote the $250,000 donation given to Wildlife Conservation Society, (WCS) an organisation that saves wildlife and wild places.

Something tells me Mags has been on the phone to her PR Company to get her out of this furry mess!  

KANYE WEST

Celebrity diva, Kanye West, ranted and raved about his failure in not winning the Album of the Year and the Grammy Awards.

Really, Kanye West should be up for a “lifetime bereavement award” for all the dead animals in his wardrobe.

The US star claims he is the voice of this generation, yet fails to realise the new generation thinks fur is ugly, and that people who wear it are cruel and old school.

ELIZABETH HURLEY

Elizabeth Holy  she is not. The UK actress should be concentrating on her failing career rather than flaunting the remains of animals on her back.

It makes you want to hurl-ley when you seen the star parading round in fur in a plea to be back in the public eye. Shame!

The worst dressed awards will hopefully make these cold hearted celebrities face up to the truth about fur. Animals on fur farms are kept in the most appalling conditions, spending their lives trapped in tiny wired cages. Cheapest and crude methods are used by fur farmers when slaughtering the animals, such as breaking their necks while they are fully conscious or using anal or genital electrocution. 

While most of us worry about the credit crunch and panic about where our next meal is coming from, many hip-hop stars are not feeling the bite on their bling. With many now owning their own record labels, luxury houses and apartments, night clubs, and some rather expensive jewelry, the multimillion dollar stars are set through this groveling recession.

So set, in fact that their spending habits are going through the roof. Take a look at these extravagant celeb spends and prepare to feel the tug on the purse strings even more. 

50 cent and more

50 cent is known as the priciest rapper on the planet and worth over £60 million.

The stars collection boasts of a Ferrari Enzo worth £1 million, as well as three other Ferraris’, two Jags, three Bentleys, six Lamborghinis and two Jets. 

At his 48,000-square-foot mansion, the star has his own lake, waterfall and in-house club, complete with 52-rooms, servants’ quarters and a boat house, all costing a staggering £2.5million.

Jay-Z liked it enough he put two rings on it

Multimillion dollar rapper, Jay Z, proves his babe Beyonce is more than enough by splashing most of his cash on the R&B star.

Beyonce’s engagement ring cost a whopping £3.5million, which she believes is too expensive to wear out so she had a cheaper version made to wear instead. 

Kanye believe it?

A shoe fetish is generally deemed as a female trait, but rapper Kanye boasts a collection of 450 pairs of designer shoes, with a resident ‘shoe keeper’ to specifically look after his shoes.

With a keen appetite for UK takeaways, the ‘Golddigger’ star ordered an Indian takeaway from a restaurant in Wales, to be delivered to his pad in New York, costing a mega £2,775.

P DIDDY

Sean Combs, as his real name goes, is worth a mega £25 million and owns two luxury homes costing a combined £22 million.

Pretty reasonable for a hip hop star, but his demands on tour is what gives him the diva bling factor. Travelling with a personal entourage of 30, P Diddy takes his own barber, the only man allowed to touch his hair, alongside a team to lay out all of his 80 black and white suits for him to choose every morning. On standby is a barman to mix his favourite cocktail and a guy to carry his gem encrusted iPod. Nice!

Akon

Akon doesn’t waste any time on measly one off diamonds, instead he just buys a whole mine instead. 

The ‘Right Now’ star bought a whole South African diamond mine all for himself in 2007.
