Miranda Lambert was one of the first performers at last night’s Grammy Awards, she did a duet with Dierks Bentley of “Home” and “Over You,” (video is here and a complete list of winners is here). The audio for the vocals was so low that you could barely hear them. I nded up feeling sorry for her, and it makes me wonder why, with the best audio engineers in the whole damn world, the Grammy Awards can’t get the sound perfect for every performance. About 3/4 of the way through the vocals were adjusted to sound clearer, but it was too little too late. Miranda and Dierks got shafted.

In terms of her fashion, Miranda wore this plunging navy Roberto Cavalli gown on the red carpet that I thought was pretty sexy, if a bit underwhelming. She didn’t go with her usual short, sequin look, and reserved that for her performance dress. I really liked her statement earrings and bold cuff bracelets. Her hair and makeup were also very well done. During her interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miranda joked about the letter that went out ahead of the Grammys warning the performers not to show too much skin. She pointed to her cleavage and talked about “puffy skin” being banned, but that part of the letter was clearly about “genitals” not boobs. They also didn’t want any nips showing. (See: Rihanna) Oh and Miranda was nominated for Best Country Album, which went to Zac Brown Band for Uncaged.

Also in Roberto Cavalli was the adorable Carly Rae Jepsen. I DVRed the red carpet interviews on both the TV Guide Channel and E! (although I only watched E! most of the time) and Carly was there at the beginning and she spoke to both Chris Harrison and Ryan Seacrest. Carly compared finding this dress to when Ariel the Little Mermaid got her legs for the first time. She was very gracious and happy to be there, and I came away with a lot of affection for her. In terms of the dress, it shimmered beautifully on camera and fit her perfectly. These photos don’t do it justice, it was gorgeous. I’m not a fan of her thick bangs, and her foundation looked really orange on camera when she was presenting, but overall this was a win for Carly. (She didn’t take home any Grammys though. She was nominated in the Best Solo Performance and Song of The Year categories, for “Call Me Maybe,” which went to Adele and Janelle Monáe.)

Faith Hill wasn’t as successful, in my opinion, in J. Mendel. The dress was somewhat cheap-looking to me, with mesh and sequins overlaying a sweetheart bodice. I think the skirt section is navy while the top is black, too. Plus her hair really doesn’t suit her swept up like that. She was probably going for edgy, but a softer, loose style would have lightened up the whole look. She looked really cute next to her husband, though. Faith and Tim McGraw are one of those couples that looks so alike that you can tell their relationship is solid. (Or not, they’re famous after all. Maybe they’re just good at keeping up appearances.)

In contrast to this longstanding married couple we have the on-off-on again engaged twits, Kat Von D and Deadmau5. They were interviewed by Giuliana on the red carpet and I got so distracted by Kat’s vocal drone. She wore this sweater dress that looks like she just picked it off the floor and threw it on to go for a coffee run. Trash to the E. He looks so over it, and it’s only a matter of time before they’re fighting and breaking up over Twitter again.

Finally I wanted to add Estelle in there as she wore this kind of funky dress that Kelly Osbourne was gushing about. It was a dress that Estelle designed along with her team, and I can’t decide if I like it. It’s very 70s and it’s not totally fug, it’s just funky and different. That must be her style and she looks like she has a sense of humor about it too.

It was a mere month ago when Kat Von D and her latest creepy dude, Deadmau5 (a celebrity DJ), broke up in a well-documented Twitter fight during which he may have admitted that he cheated on her. Of course, Kat is no stranger to cheating dudes; she was previously engaged to rat b*stard Jesse James, and of course he fooled around on her like he does in every other relationship. Kat has also recently been linked to Bam Margera and Nikki Sixx, and I think it’s safe to say that not only does Kat have a love for the paparazzi but she is also drawn to very questionable men. She just has really bad taste, right? Well, now she and Deadmau5 are not only back together, but they’ve become engaged after he proposed (how else?) on Twitter. How romantic:

Kat Von D tweeted yes!

The 30-year-old tattoo singer was proposed to on Twitter Saturday, Dec. 15 by on-again-off-again boyfriend Deadmau5 (real name: Joel Zimmerman).

“I can’t wait for Christmas so…. Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?” the deejay, 31, tweeted. He also attached a photo of the engagement ring, and explained in writing on the image, “Changing the diamond to a black diamond FYI. Sorry for the jpg . . . they’ll finish the actual ring soon I hope. I love u.” The ring features two tiny skulls on either side of the diamond.

The L.A. Ink star accepted Deadmau5′s proposal, tweeting, “Mi corazon! Thank you all for the lovely congratulations! Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiance!”

Her fiancee, replied, “Holy f–king s–t. I’m engaged and stuff! Thanks for the well wishes and support from the horde and everyone else! Brb while i spend the rest of my evening with my future wife.”

Kat Von D began dating the Canadian deejay in mid-September. In November, she announced on Twitter they had broken up. “Man, I sure was wrong. But at least he made it a no-brainer to break that off. Lesson Learned,” she wrote. “Clarification: Deadmau5 and I are no longer together.” But the two managed to work things out and reconciled shortly after.

The tattoo artist was previously engaged to Sandra Bullock’s ex-husband Jesse James. The two split in July 2011, and Kat Von D is now in getting a tattoo of him removed.

Yuck. The dude couldn’t even wait for the ring to be finished — he just had to propose on Twitter? I always wonder about extremely public proposals. Are they designed so that the chick basically can’t say “no” because she doesn’t want to be that woman who publicly humiliates her boyfriend? Anyway, proposing via social media is probably not exactly the hallmark of a lasting marriage, but I doubt these two will ever make it to the altar because they’ll probably break up in a few weeks after she gets her ring. And of course, Kat will keep the ring just like she did when she and Jesse James broke up. Yep, that’s Kat Von D … collector of engagement rings from very bad men.

I realize you don’t give a sh*t about these people, and neither do I, but it’s still fun to point and laugh. Tattoo artist and reality star Kat Von D has been dating celebrity DJ Deadmau5 for just a few weeks, and she moves super fast. I say this with somewhat certainty because there are staged paparazzi photos of her holding hands with her last “boyfriend,” a British rapper named Scroobius Pip, in late June of this year. So Kat Von D and DeadMau5, who you might know as the guy who picks fights with Madonna regularly (not Elton John’s husband), were regularly seen on loved-up paparazzi outings the past couple of months. Here we have but a sampling of recent photos of these two. There are a million photos of them. It’s like every time they stepped out of the house Kat called the paps.

On September 16, DeadMau5 even tweeted that he was “in love,” writing “Yeah, im love… inb4 I find a f*k to give over the Internet implodes over it at least I’m happy! Lol” Less than two months later and their love has died. Of course both of them took to twitter to share their complicated feelings of pain, loss and confusion. Just kidding, Kat was bitter and Deadmau5 probably cheated.

Cat’s out of the bag: Kat Von D and DJ Deadmau5 are a couple no more.

The creative couple pulled the plug on their brief relationship over the weekend, announcing their split on Twitter and adding in their own choice commentary on the matter.

“Man … can’t say I didn’t give it my best,” Von D wrote Saturday, followed shortly afterward with: “Man I sure was wrong. But at least he made it a no-brainer to break that off #lessonlearned.”

Just in case her followers still didn’t get her drift, however, the 30-year-old tattoo artist spelled it out in plain terms.

“Clarification: Deadmau5 and I are no longer together,” she tweeted.

Von D and the DJ, whose real name is Joel Zimmerman, reportedly began dating in September after meeting at a party.

“Now, we can get all of the ‘I told you so’s’ out of the way … and move on,” she quipped.

The 31-year-old musician didn’t keep quiet about the breakup either, but owned up to his supposed mistakes and acknowledged the split.

“Going to spend a little while screwing my head back on,” he wrote. “I guess im not cut out for relationships right now. and that’s all i really want to dwell on it right now.

“I’ll figure it out. no hard feelings.”

Deadmau5 continued to keep things cryptic, later adding: “it happened too fast, i lost my balance and fell into a familiar dark place that im having difficulty with. she deserves someone stronger.”

Von D was previously linked to Sandra Bullock’s cheating, tattooed ex Jesse James.

The pair were engaged to be married in January 2011, but amid rumors that James was cheating on Von D, they ultimately ended their engagement and their relationship in September 2011.

That Deadmau5 guy sounds like the more mature party, and I would bet Kat smothered him. Not to apply a female stereotype to her, but look at how often she was getting papped with him. She did the same thing with Jesse James and was ready to marry the guy before it dawned on her that he was a serial cheater. It took her long enough to figure it out. I would say that this relationship just ran it’s course after running too hot and too fast, but Perez Hilton is reporting that Deadmau5 may have cheated on Kat. Perez points to some tweets between Deadmau5 and a Disney actress named Chelsea Kane (she was also on DWTS in 2010) in which she tweets “Waking up to you fanning me with your ear almost made it all worth it. Thank you. ” Then Kat got pissed and tweeted an @ message to Chelsea “@ChelseaKane are you f*king serious? F*k off with that.” Deadmau5 kind of admitted it was true, tweeting “@ChelseaKane glad I could lend an ear feel better!” hahaha! So did Kat get cheated on and did she find out through Twitter? I would say that was harsh, but I really don’t give a crap about her. It will be about two weeks before she’s getting papped holding some new guy’s hand.

Yesterday, we discussed the new photos of 15-year-old Lourdes, puffing away on a cigarette. I was surprised by how many of you didn’t think a 15-year-old smoking was any big deal. I guess I was a late bloomer when it came to cigarettes, though – I tried cigs years AFTER I tried pot and LSD. Hmm… what does that say about me? Anyway, Madonna was asked about her daughter’s cigarette-smoking in an interview yesterday, and Madge didn’t seem all that concerned. All she said was, “I have to keep my eye on her.” I kind of like that Madge didn’t get into it publicly – that if she has an admonishment for Lola, Madonna will do it privately. Madge did say that Lola is very talented though: “She plays the piano beautifully. She’s an incredible singer. But she’s going through that ‘I-don’t-want-anyone-to-notice-me phase.’”

Meanwhile, in a turn of events, music producer and DJ Deadmau5 hates Madonna for Madge’s “MDNA” album title and Madge’s recent reference to “Molly”.

Madonna missed her “MDNA” album release parties at the Delano in Miami Friday and at Lavo in New York Saturday to head to electronic festival Ultra — but producer and DJ Deadmau5 would have preferred that she skipped the onstage drug slang.

The Material Girl made what he took to be a drug-related reference while introducing Swedish DJ Avicii at the festival in Miami Saturday night, asking: “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly? [the slang term for MDMA, the active chemical in ecstasy, which also rather sounds like her album title].”

While “Molly” is also the title of a new track by DJ Cedric Gervais, the resident DJ at Miami club Liv, Deadmau5 took offense to the reference, bashing her on his Facebook page: “Very classy there madonna . . . ‘has anyone seen Molly???’ such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra. Quite the f–kin’ philanthropist. but hey, at least yer hip and trendy! F–kin’ cant smack my head hard enough right now…I can appreciate [Madonna's] metoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE F— WAS THAT?…That’s your big message to Ultra attendees? Hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? F— off you f—ing IDIOT. ”

Do I have to have an opinion on this? Because I don’t really. Madge was trying to seem hip and cool and “look at me, I can make drug references!” But I don’t really think Deadmau5’s criticism of Madge was on target – instead of bashing her for her fake philanthropy (which is another discussion altogether), he could have just said something about how out-of-touch she is these days.

Speaking of Madonna being out of touch, she joined Twitter for a day to promote her album, and Justin Bieber ended up tweeting her. So Madge responded, “Come and join me on stage when I’m on tour when we are in the same city and congrats on your new single.” Madonna wishes.
