Big Fun At MusiCares Gala

I'm still basking in the glory of my Jonas Brothers overload last night. Poor Craig asked them all for autographs and they were so bored by him. They signed, but really couldn't be arsed. Bless him for asking them. I ALMOST got a pic with them but then they had to take the stage for an encore. Boo!

Camille Belle was there last night but she didn't sit with Joe. They were making googly eyes at eachother ALL NIGHT LONG. Little giggles from across the way. Lots of crazy chemistry. They're REALLY not sleeping together?!?! Camille looked gorgeous despite her ill-fitting dress. She's a beautiful girl.

We had a long, drunken conversation with industry peeps about the potential longevity of the boys and everyone agreed that Nick, the youngest Jonas, is the true talent of the operation and will probably be the Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake break-out.

All of the performances at last night's MusiCares benefit were good. The Jonas Bros kind of butchered "Forever in Blue Jeans," but they looked cute doing it. Next up was Jennifer Hudson performing "Holy Holy." She KILLED it. She looked beautiful in a black sateen jumpsuit and gold jacket. She got a standing ovation and you could tell it shocked her. She nearly cried. Everyone in the room was standing up for her. Best New Artist nominee Adele sang "Cracklin Rosie" and everyone loved her. She's like a cleaned up version of Amy Winehouse. Anna Wintour is styling her for Sunday night, isn't she? Kid Rock performed "Thank The Lord for the Night Time" and literally rocked it. I do love him in a very dirty way. Urge Overkill performed "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" while the Uma Thurman/John Travolta Pulp Fiction dance scene played in the backgound. It took every fiber of my being not to perform the dance, but I did fight the urge. Pretty much. Tim McGraw looked dreamy performing "Hello Again" and Faith Hill looked absolutely gorgeous in her duet of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with Neil.

Today we're going to Grammy rehearsals at The Staples Center. I get to sit right up front and bring my camera so expect LOTS this afternoon before I go to Clive Davis' party.
