Adele is up for the biggest prizes of the night, Album (21), Record and Song of the Year (“Rolling in the Deep”) — I mean, the RIAA might as well just start engraving her name on those golden gramophones now and call it a day. Kanye’s masterwork, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was somehow snubbed for an Album of the Year nod (god save the assistant who had to deal with that fallout), though Ye will go against himself in the Rap Album of the Year category — Watch the Throne, his collaboration with Jay-Z and Fantasy are both nominated.

Rihanna‘s Loud (no comment), Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way, Foo Fighters‘ Wasting Light, and Bruno Mars‘ Doo Wop & Hooligans are also up for Album of the Year. Joining Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” and Kanye’s “All of the Lights” (both highly deserving) in the Record of the Year category are Bon Iver‘s “Holocene,” Bruno Mars’ ”Grenade,” Mumford & Sons‘ ”The Cave,” and Katy Perry manages to sneak her way in yet again with “Firework.”

Shockingly absent from this year’s mutual admiration society is Grammy staple, Beyoncé. 4, in my opinion her best solo effort to date, received only one nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Party” — not the video version, but the good one with André 3000. Of course, Queen Bey has 16 Grammys already and she’ll probably be busy giving birth to her alleged baby come Grammy night anyway.  Her chief rival for diva supremacy, one Lady Gaga, only came out with three nods this year, and not even one for music video (if not for “Born This Way,” at least “Judas,” kids).  Meanwhile, late chanteuse and 5-time winner Amy Winehouse garnered a posthumous nomination for her duet with Tony Bennett, “Body and Soul.”

The last category anyone could possibly care about is that combination gift/curse, Best New Artist. Nicki  Minaj is the frontrunner based simply on popularity and record sales, and is the only female solo artist nominated this year. She will face off against Bon Iver, The Band Perry, J. Cole, and Skrillex.

Thank Christ someone came to work last night. Nicki wore this look flawlessly right off the runway with Alexander McQueen wedges, a curly pink coif and feminine makeup. I don't know about y'all, but she is my vote for Best Dressed by a landslide.

The words "Jenny McCarthy" and "impressed" are rarely seen in a sentence together, but last night was an exception. Not only is this outfit perfect, Jenny's hair and makeup look gorgeous and her boobs are contained under more than an inch of fabric. Surprising, yet indeed impressive.

Jennifer Hudson worked hard for her rockin' bod, and she's not afraid to show off those curves. For any other event, this dress would have been a tad short, but it's perfect for the AMAs. I know a few celebs (*cough* Christina Aguilera) who should take note from Jennifer here.

MJB could wear a garbage bag and land herself on the best dressed list. She is rocking this tacky Cavalli animal print dress like nobody's business and looks fantastic. Although, I wish the hair was a little bigger to match the mood.

Selena Gomez, the apple of Justin Bieber's eye and target of every tweeny bopper's hate mail, looks elegant as always in Armani. The dress, hair and makeup are perfect, but I wish her accessories weren't so matchy-matchy. She should mix in some playful pieces while she's still young.

ZZzzZZZzzz... Oh, excuse me, I fell asleep looking at Taylor Swift in the SAME DRESS SHE ALWAYS WEARS. To quote the late Lexi Featherston, "I'm so bored, I could die." Splat Taylor, splat.

I understand dressing elegant and all old Hollywood-like is kind of Katherine's thing, but this is the AMAs, not a black tie gala. Also, is her cleavage creeping you out like it's creeping me out?

New cougar on the market Jennifer Lopez borrowed the famous embellished nude jumpsuit Britney Spears wore performing at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Sure she looks great for her age, but this is about 40 years from being appropriate.

Put X-Tina in a bandage dress and you have the perfect Jimmy Dean costume. Too bad Halloween is over. As usual, everyone failed to tell Christina she needs to go up about four sizes. Hair is bad, makeup is worse, poor girl just keeps rolling right down the hill.

Oh dear, another girl who doesn't know how to handle her own curves. A tight, red, sequined dress just does not work on a body like Clarkson's. A few more yards of fabric, some fishing line and black dye would improve this look greatly.

Keep smiling through the Botox Cheryl, and maybe no one will notice you raided the Kids 'R Us for your AMAs dress. Oops, too late. If you listen carefully, you can hear the soft chatter of her stylist being fired.

If you can manage to look past Audrina Patridge's lifeless gaze, you'll see what she really is - a low-class stripper with no soul. Wearing a garbage bag and prostitution whore heels, it's just another day in LaLa land for the reality television has-been.

I expect the shoe will be transformed into the heel-less variety and that Elton John will appear as a sequined clutch for the final look.

I have to admit; I was a bit saddened when some of my favorite collections and designers—such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and even Diane Von Furstenberg—showed pieces for Spring 2010 with heavy 80’s flash-back incorporated into them. I’ve never been a big fan of that era, so seeing shoulder pads being accepted as fashionable once again will take some getting used to.

Patterns you’ve really only seen in reruns of The Cosby Show have suddenly thrown themselves back into major fashion again, along with a kaleidoscope of colors. Beyonce even sported a dress at the MTV Video Music Awards that looked all too much like a dress Joan Collins once wore on the show Dynasty.

So, find your crimper and big, floppy bow and get ready to look like you stepped out of a classic John Hughes movie this upcoming spring.

Kanye strikes again, and as much as I hate him he is a bit smart.

We’ll start with what he did. Taylor Swift won an award at the VMA’s for best video. As she was giving her speech, Kanye jumped on stage, took the mic from the poor girl, and proceeded to say that it was terrible that Taylor won the award and that Beyonce had the best video of the year.

I’ll start off by saying thank you Kanye for letting us all know what you think, now if you could kindly sit down and shut your mouth that would be great. I will say however, with Kanye not being in the spotlight too much lately this really helps. He’s already a trending topic on Twitter, and you know he’ll be all over every gossip site in minutes.
