Beyoncé grabbed many headlines early last week after the Grammys as video clips and photos of her performances appeared on the tubes. One outfit that caught people's attention was a shiny green number that was judged by many to be a little too tight, crotchally speaking.

Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" video is out, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Oh, and if you think the nice lady in the video is hot, she's selling her used underwear online for only $24.95.
Everyone's favorite haphazard dresser, Bai Ling, was the rising star of the week, and this time it wasn't because she forgot to wear a shirt with working buttons. She stole some crap from an airport shop, then blamed it on boy problems.
Paris and little bro Barron made for excellent tabloid fodder this week. In what appears to be the first time tough love in the Hilton household, his parents let him stay in jail following a drunk-driving incident until he was bailed out by his friends. Paris, meanwhile, stripped down at her many birthday parties, leaving her brother and her 17 dogs to fend for themselves.
Ah, Natalie... Brains and beauty both, we're honored to have you grace The Hype Report. Natalie has been vamping it up with her Other Boleyn Girl co-star in magazines and on the red carpet. Interestingly, she's also been critical of the lack of good female roles in the scripts she receives, which are mostly prostitutes or strippers.
Gary Coleman: Mazeltov to you and your much younger, much taller, and eBay seller extraordinaire wife. They're so obviously not media-ready that if he weren't admittedly abusive, it would be kind of endearing. But the Gary-on-printer violence and sexless marriage really make you wonder if they can keep it together through even one season of Gary and Shannon: The Honeymoon's Over.
Also this week, Amy Winehouse's drug addiction musical talent was
rewarded at the Grammys, Fergie may or may not be pregnant, and Lily Allen's
new talk show is a snoozer.
