PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful
PEOPLE has just named their 100 Most Beautiful people.
And who is the lovely lady topping the list and gracing the cover?
“I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.” – Kate Hudson (Love her!)
A few others that made the mag’s coveted cut:
Borat’s leading lady Isla Fisher
Samantha Who’s Christina Applegate
Country girl Carrie Underwood
High schooler Vanessa Hudgens
One of PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful couples, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. Tony says he likes his wife “best in jeans, a T-shirt and Hugs.” Eva’s translation, “He means Uggs.” Ha, how cute!
The cast of Gossip Girl (duh)

Idol Goes Big And Gives Back
Although Wednesday’s American Idol won’t be saying goodbye to another contestant, (the results will be shown Thursday night) they will be airing their Idol Gives Back show for the second year in a row. The fundraiser will be raising money for both U.S. and international charities and will feature big stars like Brad Pitt, Hollywood it-couple David and Victoria Beckham, Miley Cyrus, and former Idol winners Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks. I recommend having a box of kleenex handy as the show will also include heartfelt stories informing people firsthand on how this special will be making a difference in the lives of many.
Texting Is The New Breakup
Country star Carrie Underwood has revealed that her and hottie Chace Crawford broke up by text message.
The Grammys Celebrate 50 Years
With performances by Beyonce and Tina Turner, Rihanna, Kanye’s emotional tribute to his “mama,” and Amy Winehouse’s much-anticipated (via-satellite) performance, (not to mention her shout-out to incarcerated hubby Blake) the Grammys were definitely something to tune into last night.
Although not present in L.A., but rather in her hometown of London, Winehouse almost had a clean sweep, winning five out of the six awards she was nominated for, including record of the year, song of the year, and best new artist.
Kanye dominated the Grammys as well, winning four awards, including best rap album and best rap solo performance. Not only did he pay tribute to his late mother Donda in song, but also spoke to her in his acceptance speech.
Carrie Underwood went home with two awards, best female vocal performance and best country song for “Before He Cheats” and Alicia Keys, who opened the show singing with a virtual Frank Sinatra, took home the prize for best R&B song for “No One” as well as best female R&B vocal performance.
The last award of the night was given to the very surprised jazz artist Herbie Hancock for album of the year, beating out both Winehouse and West.
Other winners included:
Best male pop vocal performance: Justin Timberlake
Producer of the year, non-classical: Mark Ronson
Best Pop performance by a duo or group with vocals: Maroon 5
Best rock album: Foo Fighters
Best contemporary R&B album: Ne-Yo
Best rap/sung collaboration: “Umbrella,” Rihanna featuring Jay-Z
Best male country vocal performance: Keith Urban
Best country album: “These Days,” Vince Gill
