Adele Makes a Clean Sweep at the 2012 Grammys

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Vogue cover girl Adele wore a simple Armani Privé gown to the 2012 Grammy Awards last night, but paired the frock with an armful of blingtastic trophies. The British songstress swept the competition, taking home all six awards for which she was nominated, including Album of the Year for 21 and Record of the Year for “Rolling in the Deep.” She is only the second female to win six Grammys in one night, the first — of course — being Beyoncé in 2010. Ms. Adkins also debuted the return of her voice after vocal surgery by belting out “in the Deep.” Though this was undeniably Adele’s night, the untimely passing of Whitney Houston cast a large shadow over the show with Jennifer Hudson bringing down the house in a stirring rendition of “I Will Always Love You”

Mary J. Blige Sings and Sells Out Scents on HSN

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

I don’t know when the Home Shopping Network became diva grand central, but it’s been racking up more celebrity appearances than late night TV. And now they even have musical performances! This from a network once only known for Marie Osmond‘s creepy doll collection. Noted grown-ass woman Mary J. Blige stopped by HSN to hock her holiday gift sets, featuring her first fragrance “My Life” and her latest, “My Life Blossom” — both of which sold out — and to perform hits from her classic debut album, My Life and her latest…My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1). In case you didn’t get the memo, this is MJB’s “Life” and we’re all just living in it.

INTERVIEW: Satya Twena, Architectural Milliner

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Satya Twena didn’t fall into design by mistake. Raised in an eclectic family of artists, the appetite to create was in her blood from the very beginning. After years working in the interior design business, Satya decided to test the waters of the fashion industry after realizing her great love for millinery. Lucky for us, her architecturally-inspired hats designed with experimental materials are truly wearable art. I got the chance to sit down with Satya and chat about her family history, vertical inspiration and the rise of the fascinator.

MUSE OF THE WORLD: Karlie Goes to Prom, Whitney Goes Back to Rehab and Beiber Got Bratty

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

- Our little girl’s all grown up! Supermodel and high school senior Karlie Kloss went to her prom with this adorable little cherub, childhood friend Gabe Smith, who at 5’6 is half a foot shorter than her. Gabe, ever the gentleman, insisted on buying Karlie’s ticket and chauffeured them to the prom and in return he gets to flaunt to his friends for the rest of his life that he went to prom with a supermodel. Sidebar, I’m glad that even at prom that girl is at work. [STL Today

Muse of the World: Christina AA-guilera

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Christina Aguilera is quickly becoming my favorite diva trainwreck, especially since everything’s relatively quiet on the Whitney Houston front. Apart from flubbing the National Anthem, nearly falling at the Grammys and passing out in Jeremy Renner‘s bed, Aguilera also called her brother’s girlfriend a whore and threatens to fire anyone who even suggests she might have a drinking problem. Xtina hasn’t inspired me this much since belting “Beautiful.”
