Nicki Minaj made a bunch of Catholic people mad with her Grammy performance. E! Online reports:

The Catholic League wasted no time in condemning the "Roman Holiday" rapper for her exercise in exorcism on the awards show stage—which came complete with choir boys, bishops, holy water, faux possessions, levitation and even a confessional. ...The League's president Bill Donahue wasted no time in pointing out his displeasure with the performance's undertones (and overtones and everywhere-in-between-tones) this morning, commenting in a posting on the Catholic League's website entitled "Is Nicki Minaj Possessed?" "Nicki Minaj, fresh off looking like a fool with Madonna at the Super Bowl, showed up last night on the red carpet at the Grammys with a guy dressed like the pope. This was just a prelude of what was to come. "Minaj's performance began on stage with a mock confessional skit. This was followed by a taped video depicting a mock exorcism. With stained glass in the background, she appeared on stage again with choir boys and monks dancing." But according to Donahue, that was far from the worst of it. "Perhaps the most vulgar part was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer. Finally, 'Come All Ye Faithful' was sung while a man posing as a bishop walked on stage; Minaj was shown levitating." Donahue was willing to spread the blame around, too. "None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved by The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys. Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam."

He does have a point: People take aim at Catholics a lot, not because they actually want to offend them, but just because, as we noticed with Madonna and Lady Gaga, it gets them attention. In any case, the only really offensive thing about Nicki Minaj's performance was how unoriginal, overhyped, and generally shitty it was. Doesn't the Catholic church have other things to worry about, like hating fags, having a guy wearing gold filigree denounce the commercialism of Christmas, or not funding birth control yet staunchly opposing abortion? Let's get our priorities straight, guys.

The only good thing about this show was the Foo Fighters, but since they're not pretty enough, here are some other skanks from The Grammys.


I'm not sure what Katy Perry was going for here. Patty and Selma's bridesmaid dresses? I'm surprised they let her in considering she completely obscured the only reasons she was invited in the first place.


Nicki Minaj needs to shrink her ass and expand her eyes if she wants to be Red Riding Hood. She should probably also hang around some wolves.


A 70's table runner over a discount store girdle. God Fergie, how do you stay so sexy all the time?


Julianne Hough won everything.


Weed isn't that expensive. Pretty sure Rihanna could've afforded better weave and some voice lessons before performing "Proud Mary."

I think she's doing it wrong. Radar Online says:

Following her verbal beat-down of a maid, outrageous hip hop star Nicki Minaj has unleashed a vicious tirade on celebrity facialist Dawn DaLuise, Star magazine has exclusively revealed. "After I waxed her eyebrows and lip, she started screaming ‘Who the f**k do you think you are?’” DaLuise exclusively told Star. “‘Look what you did to my damn face! You think this sh*t is worth 170 dollars?’” The beauty expert, who owns Dawn DaLuise Skin Refinery in Los Angeles, said she had never been treated so badly in her life, as she detailed how the pink-haired Super Bass singer threw wads of bills at her and stormed out. “It’s a shame when you see a darling girl turn into a temperamental diva," DaLuise said. It's not the first time Minaj has acted strangely during a pampering appointment. DaLuise recalled how on a prior occasion, "I arrived at her condo one afternoon, her eyes were dilated, her wig was falling off, her face was covered in red sores and she was perspiring heavily.

In Nicki Minaj's defense, $170 seems pricey for something she could get done for $13 in a Korean neighborhood, but I'm not sure why this behavior is surprising to anyone. Nicki Minaj leaves her house looking like the banner photo everyday then sings about how everyone wants to fuck her, so it's clear her judgment may not be the best. Unless her aesthetician used battery acid, I don't see what the big deal could've been. At least she didn't turn out like this.

Nicki Minaj was in London for something I didn't bother to look up, but I hope everyone there looked upon her with amazement and wonder for her over the top hairstyle. Or they might be more surprised that farms with pink horses exist.
