Putting The Pseudo In Pseudo-event: Grammys' Web Site Suffering From Pre-Show Jitters

Grammys' Web Site Suffering From Pre-Show Jitters

In an attempt to figure out who won the awards that weren't important enough to make the Grammy Awards broadcast, I visited the awards show's official site, where I was greeted with the above cascade of undefined values. (Then again, why should the Grammy site be any different than the rest of the music industry in 2008?) While I try and suss out what's going on—especially the mystery over whether or not Tia Carerre won anything—I'll have the red carpet shows on in the background.

Are you also going to sit on a bed of nails or shampoo with broken light-bulb glass while you subject yourself to watching this tonight? Because nothing can make worse the destiny you've chosen for yourself for this evening. Reee-speeckt.

The E! news ticker just "reported" the "news" that Pete Wentz threw Ashlee Simpson a prom-themed birthday party. Just in case you all wanted to know about musicians' relative importance in the gossipsphere.

Also Taylor Swift has some bad eyeshadow going on. I mean, I did too when I was that age, but.
