Jezebel: brit awards

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Fashion At Brit Awards!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that British awards shows bring out some ghastly clothes. So it was at the Brit Awards at London's Earl's Court. But it was Katy Perry who won "The Ugly!"

The Good:
Here's hoping Holly Willoughby gets to sit down! The heels look brutal, but the mama looks glam.

Jumpsuits can be disastrous; Florence Welch makes this 70s sexy and fab!

Maybe a weird choice for February, but like Liz McClarnon's accessorizing.

The Bad:
I admire Estelle for apparently allowing a group of kindergartners to paper mache her dress.

Jade Jagger shows the drawback of the "eclectic" look.

Would Victoria Hesketh's getup be better without the "nude" panels? Yeah, no.

Duffy sounds the death knell for the bandage dress and its troubled descendants.

I thought Abby Clancy's was about as bad as future-chic got...

Then I saw Gabriella Cilmi!

Kylie Minogue channels "Weimar Barbie."

The Ugly:
Katy Perry has left me speechless.

Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse At Brit Awards: Is She Better Or Worse Post-Rehab?

Slut Machine — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

Last night, Amy Winehouse took the stage with Mark Ronson to sing their cover of the Zutons' "Valerie." (How fucking adorbz is Ronson's mod look?) Amy's performances in the middle of her downward spiral were a hot mess to say the least, but after seeing the clip above as well as her performance at the Grammys last week, we're wondering if maybe she's awkward because her (relative) sobriety makes it so that she's hyper-aware of her surroundings. (Why does she dance like she's gotta go pee pee? For someone who's so into soul, she doesn't really have moves.) Later, Amy returned to the stage to sing "Love Is a Losing Game" and, of course, gave a shout out to "Blake Incarcerated". (That's his new name now. We're sick of typing out Fielder-Civil.) After the jump, check out a few of our favorite Amy performances, pre-crack.

From Later With Jools Holland, this fall 2006 performance of Tears Dry on Their Own was when I absolutely fell in love with her.

And as far as drunk performances go, this duet of "Beat It" with Charlotte Church is the best.

Amy Winehouse is slated to perform at tonight's Brit Awards. She's reportedly going to sing alongside Jezebel-approved hottie, producer and DJ Mark Ronson. • Was Paris Hilton banned from the Oscars? It's unclear, but the quotes from the anonymous source are awesome: "She's tempted to go to the parties afterwards but might wear her trademark wig to save her dignity." HAHA WHAT DIGNITY??? • Ann Coulter's credit card? Denied! The conservative crazy had her card rejected at the supermarket in Palm Beach. [USA Today, DListed, Page Six]

Just stay away from Ryan Seacrest, honey.

We've always loved Nelly Furtado. She's talented, cute, fresh and unaffected, we've never seen her vagina, and to the best of our knowledge she's never gone down on Joe Francis.

Look at her:

Total natural hotness.

Complete adorable cutness.

Which is why we were a little distressed to see her at the Brit awards last night, where she won the Best International Female Solo Artist Award, and the Scariest Looking Celebrity top honor:

Now it's not the best angle, we'll grant you that, but girl looks like she's channelling the bastard lovechild of Teri Hatcher and Juliette Lewis. Had a little work done, Nelly?

Oh say it ain't so!
