The Return of Jersey Shore; The 2010 Grammys

cityfile · 02/01/10 08:20AM

• The cast of MTV's Jersey Shore officially signed on for season two over the weekend. (Although MTV may now be forced to rename the show, since the cast could be spending next season in the Hamptons.) If you need something to tide you over until the summer, you could always go out and pick up Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's new cologne, which is appropriately named "The Sitch" and smells like a mix of self-tanner, Axe body spray, and some random girl's perfume. [Us, NYP, P6]
• So much for those rumors about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie splitting up. At the Director's Guild of America Awards in LA on Saturday night, the couple looked "as happy as can be," Pitt pulled a chair out for his wife (what a gentleman!), and he spent the evening gently caressing her back. [Us, People]
• Did you miss the Grammys last night? Lady Gaga wore a dress that looked like a fifth-grade solar system science project before descending into a fire pit and then playing piano opposite a crystal-encrusted Elton John; Pink did a Cirque de Soleil-esque performance in a nude bodysuit, twirling on a trapeze and singing upside down; Beyonce won a record-breaking six Grammys; Taylor Swift walked away with four, including album of the year; and the crowd was treated to a 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson as well as brief speeches by two of his kids, Prince and Paris. Click through for the list of winners and the fashion highlights/lowlights. [People, NYP, NYDN, MTV, People]

Ravi Somaiya · 02/01/10 06:15AM

Blackwater, that private army of God, allegedly shot 17 people dead in Baghdad's Nisour Square in 2007. This did not go over so well. The Justice Department is to investigate allegations they followed up with $1m in bribes to try and keep their Iraqi contracts. [NYT]

Grammy Parties: As Awkward as Taylor Swift Winning So Many Times

Maureen O'Connor · 02/01/10 05:56AM

Maureen O'Connor · 02/01/10 12:53AM

So, the Hipster Grifter and a Gawker alumnus walk into quaint suburban tableau... We're told this photo of meme turned inmate Kari Ferrell and real estate blog mogul Lockhart Steele (plus one gentleman in a duster) occurred at Sundance.

LOST: Pick Your Own Destiny

Anderson Evans · 01/31/10 08:55PM

Well, Jin is dead, and Charlie survives. It seems like a good choice at first, as the troubled youth used his remembrance of the island to kick a drug habit and to move from hasbeen rockstar to relevant actor. Unfortunately, once he became famous, he began spreading word of the mysterious island complete with smoke monsters and egyptian statues to the media. They chewed him up and spit him out.

LOST: Pick Your Own Destiny

Anderson Evans · 01/31/10 08:40PM

Charlie died the chivalrous death upon the island he was meant to experience, and it is Jin that lived on remembering everything that happened on Eden Island. Sadly the information drove him insane, and he was placed in an institution. A successful operating procedure lobotomized his brain, leaving it's mark with a plastic cast that looks disturbingly similar to female genitalia. As sad a fate as this may be, it happened for a reason, and it seems you have chosen wisely in the case of this final file.
