Happy Monday! Did you stay up late last night (like me) to watch the American Music Awards? I love awards shows because of the cool fashions, the crazy performances, and all the social media commentary. Here are a few of my favorite moments from last night:

1. My girl Taylor looking amazing in a short glittery dress. She also won “Artist of the Year!” Yay!

2. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis rocking hard from Miami with a satellite performance of their major party song,”Can’t Hold Us.” I had just seen the duo live from a parking lot in Jacksonville the day before, so it was super cool to see them perform the same song on the AMAs.

(The day before in Jax…)

3. JT introducing us to a funky new song, “Drink You Away,” and looking super fine doing it. Justin’s wife, Jessica Biel, was not at the big event which caused twitterverse to explode with assumptions they were having marital trouble. Not so. Jessica tweeted this halfway through the show. You go, girl.

4. This funny capture of Justin going bonkers when he wins the award for best Soul/R&B artist. Taylor is known for always getting overly excited when she wins ANYTHING, so this is a bit of a dig on her. But it’s still cute.

5. Finally, I don’t know if this was a FAVORITE moment, but I can’t leave without mentioning Miley and her space cat performance of “Wrecking Ball.” She knows how to create buzz. Despite the weirdness, Miley can SING. I wish she would sing without all the other “stuff” sometimes. Oh, and that outfit just looks…painful?

OK Magazine is reporting that Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are getting back together. They dated for three years after filming The Notebook back in 2004. The Notebook is one of my FAVORITE movies of all time!  “If you’re a bird, I’m a bird.”

Ryan has been dating Eva Mendes for quite awhile, but the word is they are on the rocks. Ryan really wants to get married and have babies and she does not. What?!

I hope this is true because it would be super dreamy for Ryan and Rachel to have a fairtytale ending just like Noah and Allie, the characters they played in The Notebook. Crossing my fingers.

My girl Taylor Swift is back in the news. Well, she’s ALWAYS in the news. But usually they like to talk about her boyfriends. Or a song she wrote about an ex-boyfriend. Or a song she wrote about the guy she met for five minutes at an awards dinner. But this time, it’s all about the DRESS.

Here’s Taylor at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show taping. It airs Tuesday, December 10th at 10/9C on CBS so we’ll be able to see this gorgeous silver number in HD!  She’s even wearing the same glittery shoes as the supermodels.

Taylor could seriously be one of the models walking the runway. I also love the straight hair even though I’m pro curls. She wore this colorful beaded mindress by Zuhair Murad on the red carpet. I love the flowers.

Then it was the CMA Awards last week. Taylor showed up to the country show in this red Elie Saab dress to accept her Pinnacle Award. It was perfect.

At the CMA after party, she tossed on this fun Alice + Olivia brocade dress. I found this one at Neiman Marcus online and it’s not priced horribly out of reach. This could be perfect for your daughter’s homecoming? Or maybe your New Year’s Eve party?

I can’t wait to see what Tay wears next!

Yesterday, pop star Fergie’s hubbie Josh Duhamel posted this photo on Instagram of his gorgeous newborn son, Axl.  Josh is laying in a striped shirt and Baby Axl is swaddled right next to him in a red blankie with a blue pacifier in his mouth.  Josh wrote, “Gonna catch some football with my little guy today.” This is some serious cuteness overload.

Happy Monday!

This is the start of my new series of “Happy Monday!” photos and videos.

To kick it off, here’s super cute Prince Harry dancing in Jamaica in 2012 while celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Happy Monday!

I watched the 2013 Emmy Awards last night. All 3 hours and 10 minutes of it. I thought Neil Patrick Harris was a fun host. I kinda figured Breaking Bad was going to win Outstanding Drama Series. It’s the biggest television sensation right now and I’ve not watched one single episode. I was routing for Jon Hamm to win Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Mad Men, but he lost to Jeff Daniels from The Newsroom. I was going to write about that, because I also really like Jeff Daniels. Then there was Tina Fey and Amy Poehler being funny in the front row. And Will Ferrell being funny with his kids. And Michael Douglas being funny to Matt Damon. But I just kept coming back to this image:

This is awesome actress and Modern Family diva, Sofia Vergara, partying down after Modern Family won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for the FOURTH YEAR IN A ROW. (Yay!  It’s one of my favorite shows!) She also had on one of my favorite dresses of the night. She looked FABULOUS in red. She then posted pictures to her social media account all night long.  She was twerking, eating a cheeseburger at Jimmy Fallon’s after-party, and having a blast.

So, that’s my Emmy recap. It pretty much sums up the entire night for me. Nothing too crazy memorable except for Sofia Vergara in a really hot Vera Wang dress. I know my husband agrees.

Here are your confirmed judges for Season 13 of American Idol!  Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick, Jr.  I’m excited.  I was starting to fade away from American Idol a little bit last year. I was frustrated and bored. I missed the stories about the kids who were auditioning. I thought the wacky judges were the center of the show and a big distraction.  I like that Idol has returned to its original panel of three judges.  (Although the trifecta will always be Simon, Randy, and Paula.) I like that these three stars are serious music industry veterans.  Our “dawg,” Randy Jackson, will still be around as a mentor.  (Woof!)  And I will always love you, Ryan Seacrest.  Let’s try this again, American Idol.  My DVR is set for January 2014.

What do you think of this year’s American Idol judges?  Will you be watching?
