Fun. Leads the Grammy Nominations 2013

Grammy Nominations 2013

It looks like the Grammys are going to be a lot of FUN to watch this year.

Fun., Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean and Kanye West top the 2013 Grammy nominations with six each, followed by the Black Keys and Miguel with five nods.

The indie-pop band, FUN., is riding high with nominations for record of the year and song of the year for producing and writing the single “We Are Young,” which they performed with singer Janelle Monae.  The band was also nominated for album of the year for their collection Some Nights, as well as the the prestigious best new artist award.

There was plenty of love for our favorite divas, like Kelly Clarkson, who scored four nominations; Taylor Swift, who received three nominations; and newcomer Carly Rae Jepsen, who earned two nods.

The biggest surprise was that One Direction and Justin Bieber were shut out!

The nominations for Record of The Year are: The Black Keys – “Lonely Boy,” Kelly Clarkson – “Stronger, “Fun. feat. Janelle Monae – “We Are Young”, Gotye feat. Kimbra – “Somebody That I Used to Know,”  Frank Ocean – “Thinkin Bout You, “  Taylor Swift – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”

Katy Perry Sparkles on the Red Carpet At VMA’s

Divabetic’s Diva Inspiration for July, Katy Perry wowed the red carpet in sheer Elie Saab gown. Unlike the usual crazy outfits we’ve come to expect from her at the event, Katy was fashion-focused in a undertated and stunning. The Wide Awake singer donned a sheer printed gown by Elie Saab, which she matched with Jimmy Choo shoes and a ring by Sethi.

The sweeping dress featured a sheer skirt, floral embellishments and a black leather bodice, helping to give a definite nod to next season’s gothic-glamour trend.

Allowing the teal and fuchsia accents to really pop, Katy’s make-up was minimal, while her dark, tumbling locks were wavy and swept to one side.

Katy was nominated for four VMAs: Video of the Year (Wide Awake), Best Visual Effects in a Video (Wide Awake), Best Art Direction in a Video (Wide Awake) and Best Female Video (Part of Me).

She had the honor of handing off the best pop video honor to Niall Horan of One Direction and showed her ‘teenage dream’ affection on stage with a kiss!  She puckered up after presenting them with the best pop video award for What Makes You Beautiful. Then,she gave the five lads an eyeful as she bent over in her low-cut black dress, revealing plenty of cleavage.

She’s  a fan of the British boy band, since she tweeted earlier today, “If One Direction doesn’t perform on the VMAs, I am gonna jump of this ledge.”

The star took to Twitter again after winning the prize for Best Art Direction.

She wrote: ‘Best art direction moon man is so hipster cool! YAY! #everyoneinsilverlakewildnout #peopleinsilverlakewouldntsaywildnout’.

The VMAs will have undoubtedly brought back painful memories for Katy, who began dating ex-husband Russell Brand shortly after a run-in at the VMAs in 2009.

The pair were married in October, 2010, but finalised their divorce just earlier this year.
