There is a lot that bothers us about the NY Daily News‘ report on Michael Bublé’s (aka the Poor Man’s Matt Dillon) Grammy-related antics, but before we delve into our cauldron of Haterade, here is the report:
Poor Emily Blunt won’t get to wear her Grammy frock. Her boyfriend, singer Michael Bublé, is refusing to go to the Feb. 11 awards ceremony in L.A. In the first place, he says, his category doesn’t get any TV time. “They give away our Best Traditional Pop award at a dinner before the Grammys, so I just think that’s bull-,” Bublé told the Canadian Press. “I think it’s absolute crap.” But he also confesses, “Why should I go to the Grammys? Because I’ll lose. They might as well have already scratched Tony Bennett’s name into the damn thing. I’m not going.”
Bublé did accompany Blunt to the Golden Globes when she was nominated for her scene-stealing turn in “The Devil Wears Prada,” but he wasn’t there when she clinched Best Supporting Actress. “When she won the thing, I was outside having a cigarette,” he declared.
Let’s start off with the fact that his last name is Bublé, with an accent mark. Meaning that whenever I want to shoot out a hate mail, I gotta use MS Word symbols, taking me an extra 10 seconds. But more than that, could the guy have a worse attitude? He’s crooning adult contemporary easy listening music, not rewriting the Book of Love. Admittedly, the Grammy’s have horrible taste in music (Fergie’s got a slew of em, right?), but you bet your ass even I was nominated for “Best Native American Grammy” I’d gladly don my glitziest headdress and sidle up next to Chris Isaak or whoever else was at my table. And you know what? When the Little Jeans Band is called up to accept their award 7 hours before the actual televised ceremony, I’d clap my hands til they bled. And if Tony Bennett won? I’d join a cult and kill myself. Out of joy.
But perhaps the worst cardinal sin is what an a-hole of a boyfriend he is to Emily Blunt! Not only is he denying her the single opportunity to flirt with real musicians, but he’s completely indifferent about missing her big Golden Globe win. Are crooners even allowed to smoke? Tony Bennett is rolling over in his 24K Gold isolation chamber right now.
