LeAnn Rimes: Fashion Chic or Fashion Freak?

LeAnn Rimes: Chic or Freak?

Okay, help me out with this mismatched nightmare that LeAnn Rimes decided to wear as she made her way to and from Portavia to grab some grub.

 To be honest, I don't always look my best when I'm making a food run, but I don't wear a short brown jacket over a long white dress that looks like my car mechanic rolled around on it for 20 minutes before I pulled it on over my head, either.

 

LeAnn Rimes: Fashion Fail? Fame/Flynet

 To top it off, what's with the pink bag and the up-do?  Is LeAnn trying to look chic?  Is this bo-ho or maybe glamour-casual?

 

Did LeAnn hurt her foot?

On closer inspection it looks like she may have hurt her foot, since it appears to be wrapped in some sort of white material, or maybe she's just wearing leggings under her dress and they've bunched up just above her high top leather heels.  

I seriously doubt she looked in the mirror before she left the house.  It's the only explanation I can muster up for this disaster.

Out and About: Emily Blunt

Who doesn't love Emily Blunt - I mean really?  I've been a fan since she co-starred with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, where her "supporting character" role nearly reduced Anne Hathaway to a bit player.

Blunt, who turned 29 yesterday, was all smiles as she made her way out and about in West Hollywood, stopping in for lunch at Cecconi's.

Exactly one year after its release, Adele's 21 experienced its biggest sales week ever with over 730,000 copies sold. This astounding number follows Adele's Grammy sweep and her first public performance since undergoing vocal surgery in November, a riveting rendition of her hit Rolling in the Deep.

Honored with 6 Grammy Awards, Adele has tied the record held by Beyonce for most Grammys won by a female artist in a single year, as well as Eric Clapton's record for most Grammys won by a British artist in one night - and to up the ante even more, Adele is only the second artist in Grammy History, after Christopher Cross in 1981, to have won The Recording Academy's top three categories - Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year- while also possessing a Best New Artist Grammy.

The album, which won Adele this Best New Artist distinction in 2009, 19 is also experiencing a sales boost.  Four years after its release, it has sold nearly 2 million copies. Adele has two albums occupying the top 5 slots on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart this week, with 19 selling an impressive 87,000 copies.

Adele's Grammy-winning album 21 surpassed 2 million downloads on the iTunes Store in the U.S. within a year of its release, making her the first artist to go double platinum on iTunes.

Now in its 21st non-consecutive week at #1 on The Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, 21 is the longest running #1 by a woman in Billboard's nearly 56 year history. The album has been certified 7x Platinum in the U.S. and has sold over 18 million copies worldwide.  21 has additionally spawned over 16 million singles sold in the U.S. alone, including 7x Platinum certified Rolling in the Deep, 4x Platinum certified Someone Like You, 2x Platinum certified Set Fire to the Rain and Gold certified Rumour Has It.

Nickelodeon just signed fourteen-year-old singing sensation Rachel Crow to an overall talent deal, and as part of the new pact, Nickelodeon is developing a comedy series for Crow, who is best known for her buzz-worthy performances on Fox's singing competition series The X Factor.

In addition, Crow has been signed by Columbia Records/Syco, label home to some of the world's leading recording artists.

"It's such an honor to be signed to Columbia Records," said Crow.  "To think that I am signed to the same label as my idols is a dream come true.  I can't wait to get in the studio and start making music." Added Crow, "And I am so excited to now be a part of the Nickelodeon family.  I grew up watching Nick, and I'm a huge fan."

In addition to plans for her to star in a new pilot for the network, Crow is slated to appear in a recurring role in Nickelodeon's new comedy series Fred: The Show appearing opposite Lucas Cruikshank.  Fred: The Show airs on Friday nights.

From Colorado, Rachel Crow was fostered as a young baby by Barbara and Kelly Crow. Crow sang her first song (Faith Hill's "Breathe") at 18 months old and first performed in public at age six as part of her school's talent show.   Her parents brought her to Los Angeles in 2010 to support her dream of being a performer and she auditioned at age 13 for The X Factor in early 2011.  

After being chosen as a contestant out of over 100,000 people who auditioned for season 1 of The X Factor (USA), she wowed audiences with her powerful voice and bubbly personality and placed fifth in the competition for the season.   A fan favorite and darling among the judges, L.A. Reid deemed her a "funky, feisty singer with soul" with Simon Cowell declaring that audiences would be "hearing a lot more about her." 

Rachel is managed by Jared Paul and Joshua Russak for Azoff, Geary, Paul, Smith Management.
