Lady GaGa tied herself up in a bow and delivered herself to a New York restaurant on Tuesday night.The outrageous star ? who is never knowingly under-dressed ? made sure her visit to Nobu was anything but low-key by teaming her big hair with a jacket over a leotard and tights.GaGa has sported a hair bow in the past but went several sizes bigger for her dinner date with some pals.

Paul McCartney is confirming what we all know already: Heather Mills was the biggest mistake of his life.
In a new interview with Q magazine, Paul did admit that marrying Miss GoldDigger was probably a big boo-boo, but that he refused to rag on her (dang it), and that he got a beautiful daughter out of this mismatch. Heather’s not hurting by any means, if you’re feeling sorry for her (which I doubt any of us are); she got £24.3 million settlement after they divorced last year.
He also dismissed rumors he will retire soon. “I have too much fun,” he said. “Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I’d rather be out playing.”

We’re down to just one day before the announcement of the 2010 Grammy nominations, and before the academy makes it all official we figured we’d weigh in with some thoughts on who’s likely to be singled out. (For the love of God, no “Boom Boom Pow”!) The lucky nominees will be announced tomorrow night during CBS’s LL Cool J-hosted The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!—Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night telecast, which is slated to include performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Nick Jonas, Sugarland and Maxwell.
Right off the bat, we’ll go out on a short limb and acknowledge that Beyonce, Green Day and Taylor Swift are probably all shoe-ins for numerous nominations. Also, it’s already clear that it’s a no-go for Lady Gaga in the Best New Artist category. Still, we’re crossing our fingers that the Recording Academy will throw a curve ball or two this year, if for no other reason than to stand out from some of the more recent yawn-inducing awards show choices.
Below are our predictions for who’s probably going to make the ballot in the four main categories of the Grammy fest’s general field, based on such scientific data as the strength of our gag reflex when we review lists of the various tunes radio programmers jammed down our throats during the past 12 months. But screw the obvious! We also included our own wish list of picks for who ought to receive nods for Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Best New Artist.
Album Of The Year predictions:
Beyonce, I Am… Sasha Fierce
Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown
Taylor Swift, Fearless
Whitney Houston, I Look To You
U2, No Line On The Horizon
WHO SHOULD BE NOMINATED: Lily Allen, for sophomore album It’s Not Me, It’s You. Yeah, yeah, she’s got plenty of detractors—and admittedly, the bitter warbling on “Smile” proved to be quite grating on these ears during her first outing. But like all artists worth their mustard, Lily displayed both maturity and guts as she created her next recording (thanks in no small part to L.A.-based producer Greg Kurstin). A long shot for snagging a nomination? Most definitely. Then again, Three 6 Mafia have an Oscar next to their collective pimp cup.
Song Of The Year predictions:
Beyonce, “Halo”
Beyonce, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”
Black Eyed Peas, “I Gotta Feeling”
Kanye West, “Heartless”
T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake, “Dead And Gone”
WHO SHOULD BE NOMINATED: Pink, for either “Sober” or “Please Don’t Leave Me.” Look, those definitely weren’t the songs of the year. But if we’re forced to choose from the pool of radio tunes that were (over-)played in 2008 and 2009—which, let’s face it, is where the majority of these nominees will come from—Pink is just as deserving as Beyonce. Plus, she makes out with herself in the “Sober” video! Hand her the award already.
Record Of The Year predictions:
Beyonce, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”
Green Day, “21 Guns”
Kings Of Leon, “Use Somebody”
Lady Gaga, “Poker Face”
Taylor Swift, “You Belong With Me”
WHO SHOULD BE NOMINATED: Actually, Beyonce and Lady Gaga both deserve nods here, since their respective singles both took up residence in the pop zeitgeist. That said, writer-producers Max Martin and Dr. Luke handily crafted endless batches of radio ear candy over recent years, and if Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” were to be nominated and win, it’d kill two birds with one stone. However, Record Of The Year going to a song with “suck” in the title? Maybe Grammy should just stick with—ahem—”Poker Face.”
Best New Artist predictions:
David Cook
Keri Hilson
MGMT
Owl City
Zac Brown Band
WHO SHOULD BE NOMINATED: Diane Birch, whose swoony AM Gold throwbacks like “Mirror Mirror,” the epic “Rewind” and vastly under-appreciated single “Nothing But A Miracle” made her album Bible Belt such a quiet, potent joy earlier this year. If ’60s retro-soul was the sound du jour at the previous two years’ Grammy ceremonies (Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Adele), then Birch’s modern take on ’70s piano pop surely deserves its day in the sun, too.
Check back tomorrow evening for the official list of Grammy nominees.

I always suspected that RPGs were somewhat gay…I mean why do elves seem to have such a love for hot pants and leggings? But never has that really been proven in such a substantial way is it is in this scene from the PS3 game Dragon Age Origins featuring a gay sex scene. This may be NSFW in the loosest of terms, pardon the pun.
I believe, technically, the character being sexed up, Zevran, is an elf, so I’m not sure if that qualifies as “gay” or not. Putting that aside and perhaps also ignoring how sensuous the coitus in this video was, how come this this game doesn’t get protested/sued but the heterosexual sex “Hot Coffee” mod in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ended in law suits and recoding? And they say gay people don’t have rights.
Actually, maybe it’s just okay because it’s an elf. If that’s the case, I’m surprised but not disappointed. If it’s socially acceptable to take advantage of fictional elves, then all I can say is, “Watch your ass, Ernie Keebler. Those golden britches aren’t long for this world, my friend.”

(HMG) — Often cranky Alec Baldwin says he has lost interest in acting, his film career has been “a complete failure” and he’s quitting when his contract with 30 Rock expires in 2012.
Confirming last summer’s Playboy interview, where he also said he’d retire from acting in 2012, Baldwin, 51, has now told Men’s Journal in an interview for its December issue, that “I don’t have any interest in acting anymore,” and considers himself a failure:
I consider my entire movie career a complete failure. The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that.
And, he never re-watches any of his films including one my favorites, The Hunt for Red October:
And now, the movies I’ve been in, I never give them a moment’s thought. Every movie I’ve ever been in, I just avoid.
Let’s see Alec stars on NBC’s 30 Rock, is co-hosting the upcoming Academy Awards and has a new movie coming out with Meryl Streep called It’s Complicated, but seems to think his life sucks? Looking at the tone of the entire interview I would swear the man, is clinically depressed. Baldwin tells the magazine, he recently broke off a seven-year relationship with another woman. Yet he claims that he doesn’t mind. “I’d rather be lonely than wrong,” he says. Baldwin also says he’s still haunted by the infamous, leaked voicemail in which he called daughter Ireland a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” “I feel the consequences of that every day,” he laments.

Rank this as one of the all-time dumbest moves in sports. It may be one thing to take a shot at an opponent, but hitting your own damn teammate?
In the head no less.
Ballard’s attempt to hit the crossbar with his stick misses by at least two or three feet(and that’s being generous). That’s some fancy stick work. I can’t imagine what would happen if he was stuck in a shootout. Some little girl in the 10th row might get a puck in the head.
And while this was entirely an accident, I really wonder if you can get suspended for hitting a teammate like that.
If not that, can somebody at least punch him in the nuts in the locker room….sans a cup of course.

It’s been quite sometime since we’ve seen photos of Alanis Morissette happily in the arms of a man … I don’t think we’ve seen her coupled up with anyone since her break-up with Ryan Reynolds a couple of years ago. Since their break-up, as y’all should know, Ryan went and hot himself married to Scarlett Johansson … and Alanis has remained single. Sure, she went out and got herself a new tattoo about a year ago now … and has been spending time with her friends … but she has not found herself a new love … until now. Here are cute photos of Alanis with her new man, a musician named Souleye, lookin’ all cute and stuff as they did some shopping this weekend at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, CA:
They look like a good match … and she looks really happy. It’s so nice to see Alanis lookin’ all smiley again. I can’t even imagine how difficult it was for her to heal from her break from Ryan (tho, listening to Alanis’s album Flavors of Entanglement gives me some hint as to how difficult it was for her) but it looks like she is ready to move forward and forge ahead with this new chap. I wish them both every happiness … after all, this might be the true love of her life :)
