Katy Perry Shares Wedding Video During Her
Grammys Performance - Sweet or Surprising

post from BuzzSugar on 13 February 2011 11:24:54 PM. © BuzzSugar

Katy Perry took the stage at tonight's Grammys to perform a medley of songs from her album Teenage Dream. She started off with a portion of her ballad "Not Like The Movies," making the song even more touching by incorporating video from her top secret wedding in India to Russell Brand! It was interesting that Katy chose to share images from her October ceremony at something as public as the award show, as both she and Russell were quiet about the proceedings at the time and asked fans to respect their privacy. Take a look at the video below and tell us what you think of Katy's big reveal - sweet or surprising?

Review - Criminal Minds Season 6 Episode 14 Sense
Memory

post from The TV Obsessed on 13 February 2011 11:07:18 PM. © The TV Obsessed

Criminal Minds has a tendency to overexaggerate things to the point where it detracts from the episode. Why can't we see what the bad guy is doing without flashing lights or all those other gimmicks? To be sure, that's my reaction after watching how Justified follows bad guys around for an extended period of time. For once, I'd like to see a criminal do his thing with little background music or too many fast cuts from shot to shot.

Emily has this big new story waiting for her, which is great, but the flashback we see makes no sense based on what we know of her character. In the flashback, we see Emily doing gardening in a foreign country before being arrested. Then, this other guy gets arrested and calls someone else warning about spy agencies. Huh?

And about Reid's headaches...

Score: 8.5/10

Justin Bieber Collaborates With Usher at the
Grammys - Love It or Leave It

Justin Bieber kicked off his Grammy performance on a nostalgic note, with a look at the first time Bieber sang "You Got it Bad" for Usher back in 2007. Fast forward four years later, and the boy who became a teen phenomenon took the stage to strum an acoustic version of "Baby" on his guitar. It only grew from there, as Usher joined in the fun for "O.M.G." We loved seeing these guys show off their moves side by side, but what did you think of the performance?
