[BlindGossip] She was ready to go. She had been invited. She had hair, makeup and jewelry all booked for the pre-parties and the show. She had the perfect dresses made. She was in shape. She had even pulled a publicity stunt to pique the public’s interest. She was totally ready to strut the red carpet and bask in the attention.
However, this big star was ultimately a no-show at the Grammys. So what happened? Was she ill? Was she in mourning for a fellow singer? Did the limo break down? None of the above. She wanted the buzz and the attention on her, but since her plan was disrupted by the untimely demise of another, she decided to stay home.

Beyonce
Christina aguilera
Hello Beyonce!
How rude of Whitney to upstage your baby’s photos you released 3 days ago!!!
Ohhhhhh, I think you’re right! Wow, she sure is up her own butt about herself. Also, it was disrespectful to Whitney to not show up and pay some respect to her.
Wow. She is kinda the worst.
Funniest thing is I didn’t even notice she was/wasn’t there yesterday until reading this blind.
Yes! I agree, scratch my Xtina guess. Beyonce is ridiculous.
Aww poor Beyonce didn’t get to show off her post “pregnancy” body because of Whitney’s untimely death. Beyonce is ridiculously self-centered.
Selfish Beyonce
the more I think about it the more it has to be Beyonce.
My idea is its not so much because Whitney passed its because the spotlight is on Jennifer Hudson who got asked to perform the tribute. We all now how much Beyonce hates Jennifer Hudson and I can totally she her thorwing a tantrum because she wasnt asked to sing the tribute.
So predicatable. Called it!
lady gaga or madonna?
nevermind…lady gaga was there, I will replace her with christina aguilera.
It’s hard to find out who was a no-show from here in the UK when I snored through the actual ceremony… I know that Ms Aguilera didn’t make it but did she pull a publicity stunt? And can she be called “in shape”?
Was Beyonce there? Is the baby classed as a publicity stunt?!
Come on, hurry up and wake up, USA, I need answers!!!
LOL. I miss the UK =(
Madonna
Ha I wonder who???
Beyoncé – publicity stunt releasing the baby pics? I also thought it was strange how quiet she has been on the condolences front? Though of course not everything (such as condolences) should be done publicly.
Madonna?
I always find people who HAVE to constantly have attention to be disgusting. I just always have. It isn’t just in show business that you meet people like that, either.
so true
Too true LooLoo… I work with more than a few people like that. Too busy attention mongering to do their work (which they also suck at).
Sometimes it’s a tears of a clown thing though. Many times it’s the people who seek the most attention that actually do it because they actually have low self esteem. I don’t find people with low self esteem to be disgusting, they should just probably seek out the help of a therapist, is all.
I don’t find that at all. I think the people who constantly need attention feel that they deserve it. People will low self-esteem generally try not to call attention to themselves.
Couldnt agree more! That and people that are constantly self-congratulatory get the side eye from me. I just wanna shout “you are *not* better than anyone else”!! 0_o
Back to the topic, this is w/out a doubt Beyonce. And I thought I couldnt like her less after the fake pregnancy debacle. Grrrr
I don’t know who this is but what an awful person.
Beyonce?
Beyonce was the first to come to mind.
Oh this is Christina Agulliera. I just Googled “Grammy 2012 No Show” and an article popped up saying she didn’t show up for them. The statement was something like “She’s deciding to sit this one out due to being distraught over her idol Whitney Housten’s untimely demise”.
I think Christina was too drunk or drugged up. And she’s definitely not in shape. It’s going to be a while before she has a comeback.
I think this is Beyonce.
Gaga
First time poster, going with Christina Aguilera here.
Kisses to XO! Love, Ace
Christina Aguilera! but she’s not in shape…
I changed my mind it’s Beyonce because she just posted Blue Ivy’s pictures
Christina Aguilera – she gave the Whitney Houston is dead and I can’t be seen in public excuse. Lame.
I find this kind of attitude abhorrent!
That said, probably Beyonce – did she attend? I’m unsure, but don’t think she did.
Was Beyonce there?
Has to be Beyonce.
Beyonce
Christina Aguilera? She was a no-show, but I’m hoping I’m wrong on the stunt – the stuff trickling down her leg at Etta James’ funeral.
Marah Carey
Christina Aguilera. Not sure what the publicity stunt would be. The most notable thing she did recently was have something running down her leg at Etta James’ funeral. The only other things I can think of are signing up for the next season of The Voice and saying she wanted to get back in contact with her Dad, but I’m not sure if those count.
Ok on 2nd thoughts perhaps this is Beyonce. As for the publicity stunt – IDK – there seem to have been so many…
Mariah Carey annoyed that Whitney Houston screwed up her night by dying?
beyonce!
Hands down Miley Cyrus. I just made an account tonight, and this is my first comment – but “Miley Cyrus Biz’s” facebook fan page earlier today announced Miley has decided to not go to the Grammy’s. She was a no-show, and was spotted out shopping instead!
A warm welcome to Siberia! Love, Ace
Must be madge
chaka khan
I want to say Demi Lovato. But she’s not a “big star” by any means and she gave a lame excuse for not going that sounded like an excuse for rehab. “Mind and body retreat”? Besides, she looked like a mess and about to fall apart in South America last week.
I haven’t checked but this sounds like a beyonce stunt!
Think I’ll go with Miley Cyrus then.
Mmmmnnnnn…..Queen B????? we just got pics of baby and her out as a teaser…..but a definite no show….are you saying her ego is that strong…
Aw poor Beyonce didnt like Whitney’s death stealing her great comeback. I am kind if surprised she still didnt show up but glad cause it should have been so tacky.
I dunno, Beyonce?
F@$%&n’ Beyonce. How rude of Whitney to take the spotlight off you. Unbelievable.
Beyonce .
Tina Turner?
Beyonce. Jay Z wasn’t there either.
Was not able to watch the show. However, I haven’t see Beyonce in any of the pictures yet.
The one and only beyawnce!!!
Everone attention was on whitney nobody was asking do u think blue ivy looks her mommy, attention * at its finest
Mariah Carey?
Christina Aguilera
Beyonce? I’m not sure if she was there or not…
Beyonce and her big comeback. Ha ha ha.
Mariah Carey
Oooh.. Beyonce? With the publicity stunt being photos of her surrogate’s baby.
Beyonce
Lindsay Lohan
Beyonce
Be-yawn-ce!
Xtina?
First time post about time too!
M.I.A
Hello Toodle! Love, Ace
I second M.I.A. The finger during the superbowl was definitely a publicity stunt.
Kim Kardashian…
Madonna
Was Beyonce at the Grammy’s?
And I was like, Bey-Bey, Bey-Bey, Bey-Bey, ooOOooh….
Beyonce!
Janet jackson?
Well… of course it’s none other then Mariah Carey herself. She released pictures of Roc and Roe just to get a little buzz about her and the Whitney had to pass away (RIP Whitney).
Beyonce?
Not sure if she was there because I didn’t watch the Grammys.
beyonce???
Um, Beyonce!
Mariah?
Shaka Khan?
I going with this guess too. Bey got a baby at home and they weren’t even in LA. they were in NY, so how would she be ready to go to the grammy if she wasn’t even in the state?
Chaka Chan
Mariah Carey. What a psycho.
Can it be anyone but Mariah?
Beyonce…how disgusting
Christine Aguilera
Madonna.
The publicity stunt was saying she wanted to reconcile with her father (on the day before the show).
Xtina?
Beyonce. I thought it was strange that she wasnt there. What a self-absorbed…person she is.
Oh Beyonce may be a better guess 4 this….I’m sure she’s pissed her Blue Ivy pix r not the talk of the town! Plus X-Tina doesn’t match the in shape part…
beyonce
chaka khan?
didnt read that closely enough. Xtina
Beeeeeeeeeeonnce! Who else?
Beyonce
publicity stunt being the release of the baby’s pics and the clue of “in shape” after having a baby
Beyonce
Beyonce? Mariah?
Clearly Madonna. Everyone else was there.
Modonna
geez coffee please.
Madonna
Christina Haguilara?
I have no clue, but that’s about as lame as having someone carry your baby and then you pretend to have given birth!
beyonce
Of Course – Beyonce
On second though, maybe Mariah?
Chaka Khan
Diana Ross?
Beyonce
Christina A
Xtina. This ones not even a blind lol
Christina A.
Beyonce…
Christina Aguilera
Beyonce!!!
Beyonce! She is psst no one talking about Blue Ivy pics no more and everyone’s focus is on Whitney Houston. She was suppose to be there last night and did a no show as always when the attention is not on her! It was also Adele’s night and she was psst she was not nomination for 4lop!
Btw love this site and yes I’m a newbie lol…Beyonce and the publicity stunt was the baby pics !!!
Christina was a no show.
Beyonce.
One of the Disney girls maybe? Miley? or Demi?
Christina Aguilera
Beyonce?
As mentioned in comments of the revealed Whitney blind, Beyonce is gonna be p!ssed.
Dang Bey, you are one selfish egomaniac. That explains why Jay wasn’t there to pick up his award.
Mariah Carey?
Who else, other than the “new mama” Beyonce?
Beyonce >>> Disgusting
Beyonce? I didn’t watch so I have no idea.
Must be Beyowulf. I don’t recall even hearing words of sympathy issued on her behalf like Christina A, Mariah and so many others tweeted or sent thru social media.
Leesa30, you are entitled to your opinion but I feel that name calling is disrespectful on this board, hence “Beyowulf”. You state that you do not recall hearing words of sympathy from Beyonce but did you hear words from Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Earl Klugh, Eddie Van Halen, Composer John Williams, or former co-stars Theresa Randle and Loretta Devine?
Why is Beyowulf an insult? What’s it supposed to parody? What’s a Beyowulf?
Good one!
Beyonce actually did say some nice words to Rolling Stone about how she loved Whitney and when she 1st met her at age 15 with the other Destiny child girls. Kelly talksed about the same meeting on the red carpet with E!.
Xtina was apparently so distraught that she cancellied her appearance at the Grammies.
Xtina
Is that why Beyonce didn’t show up??? She’s starting to annoy me.
I’m going with Beyonce..
Beyonce? With the publicity stunt being the baby pictures.
I didn’t watch the Grammy’s, so I really don’t know who was (and wasn’t) there.
I was surprised not to see JLo there, as this has traditionally been one of the places she struts her stuff. Not sure of a recent publicity stunt she has pulled though.
BeyBey
saw this today. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/beyonce-jay-z-skip-grammys-for-pizza-date-in-brooklyn-2012132
plan Bee (lol)
Sounds like Beyonce
Sasha Fierce. Publicity stunt being posting pics of Blue Ivy on Friday.
My first thought was Brittney, then Mariah, then Beyonce or Janet. One of the four, I think.
Demi Lovato
publicity stunt: dyed her hair blond
Beyonce!
Beyonce!!
Nicki Minaj?
Mariah Carey?
Chaka Khan
Sounds like Beyonce.
Barbra, Madonna,or Aretha
nuff said
Beyonce
Beyonce? (Publicity stunt-baby)
Megan Fox? (She had a limo break down)
Vannessa Hudgens? (publicity stunt-keeps bringing up that she stayed in a homeless shelter)
Gonna go with MIA on this one?
Beyonce?
If it didn’t say it was a woman, I would say Kanye.
um, she died?
(too soon?)
Beyonce
I was wondering why I didn’t see Beyonce at the Grammys last night.
Beyonce.
Beyonce? The publicity stunt being trademarking the name “Blue Ivy”? Or whatever the name is.
Beyonce, of course.
beyonce
Ugh. Beyonce
Mariah?
Beyonce
Xtina. The only thing giving me pause is the line about being “in shape”.
Miss Jennifer Lopez
Beyonce.
Beyonce? I don’t think she was there, I didn’t watch but I did check out highlights and red carpet coverage and didn’t see any mention of her. Referencing being in shape and a recent stunt (her Carnegie Hall appearance to support Jay-Z) made me think of her, although I wonder if “big star” would be the best way to describe her…
Beyonce
Xtina!!!
are those rays of light behind that gramaphone ?? madonna and the grammys?
Mariah. She hasn’t made an official appearance since her baby and was going to use the Grammy’s as a “coming out, look at my new bod” to promote her weight loss campaign.
I would’ve have chosen Janet Jackson who also has a weight loss campaign but she is much to humble to care about being the center of attention.
Beyonce is nixed because she already made an official post baby appearance the other day in that red dress.
Beyonce
Madonna
Beyonce
I want to guess Kanye. Wasn’t he nominated or won and didn’t show up? I was busy watching Walking Dead and didn’t bother with the Grammys. Since this person is repeatedly referred to as “she” I’ll go with the slightly more obvious guess of Beyonce.
Either Madonna or Beyonce`
No idea, I will go with Christina A?
Could it be devoted mommy Beyonce? She is in shape, because she did not have to re-flatten a pregnant belly.
Beyonce and she was right
Could it be anyone BUT MIA?
Bey Bey makes me sick.
Beyonce.
Possibly Madonna?
It’s gotta be Beyonce, right? She and Jay-Z were no-shows.
Totally Mimi.
Madonna?
Madonna
Sounds like something Mariah Carey would do.
first post…
miley cyrus
Hey Sam! Love, Ace
The Bey Monster? Everyone must be in moderation with this answer…
Britney? Or B…
Bwahahahaa……so THAT’S why Pink wasn’t there….j/k
Why this would be none other than beyonce……scag…….
Blue Ivys mother!
I’m glad she didn’t show up. I guess she was told that there was no way she could touch the raw, true, and great talent that Whitney had. Whitney was not a lab/studio engineered star, but she was “Born that way”. No synthetic man-made materials required. No drill team of background dancers necessary to distract from the lack of real talent. No camel needed to help ride her to her level of stardom. I don’t know, maybe if Whitney had been created by man and not born a star, maybe when she fell, they could have gotten a new tummy, some skin tone lightener, and more silky haired horses, and put her back together again.
You can see this in videos of when they were kids performing. Whitney as a child was incredible. Beyonce was so AVERAGE (and really really hyper). Whitney also had natural beauty. Beyonce has completely average looks.
Also, how is that Bey’s baby was born with a wig? Have you seen the hair on that child? Geezus. She was born with Beyonce’s wig. Who is the biological mother of that child?
So true re the baby’s hair, Mermaid! I’ve never seen such long, straight hair on an African-American baby.
Did they straighten her hair already? What’s next – blonde extensions?
They are so WEIRD!
i’m born with many big dark hair (my daddy named me “samson” LOL)
Non-white babies are born with a full head of hair while white babies are born bald and wrinkled.
Said with such deluded conviction.
No, just stating facts. I’ve never seen a white newborn/infant with hair and from the sound of it, you’ve never been around non-white infants.
So since YOU have “never seen a white newborn/infant with hair”, then it must be FACT that “white babies are born bald and wrinkled”. Brilliant reasoning.
“And form the sound of it” (whatever “it” is), you can also factually conclude that *I* have “never been around non-white infants”. Wow.
There are no words to describe your logical abilities. And the reason there are no words is because I doubt you would even understand them.
Enough. All of you. Love, Ace
I am white and I was born with a full head of light brown hair.
Excuse me, but if SnowyHeights has “never seen a white newborn/infant with hair” then it s a FACT (as she has stated) and I highly doubt that you were born with a full head of light brown hair.
In fact, unless you can back up your newborn head of hair with hospital authenticated photographs and sworn affidavits, then I’m sorry but WE don’t believe you.
Silly me. Biology must have changed since the ’70s.
Not true Snowy. My own daughter was born with a head of dark hair – she later turned very blonde, with fair skin.
And I have several black friends – and have seen their babies. All had tight curls early on..
Sounds like you need to have some experience with babies before spouting off.
So because you’ve seen a few black babies, you think you’re an expert on what their hair looks like? I really don’t give a damn about Beyonce and Jay-Z’s spawn but I’m sick of people acting like it’s impossible for a black/part-black child to have a full head of dark straight hair. *I* was born with a full head of black straight hair and I know many other black people who were as well. All of the white babies I’ve seen have no/very little hair but there’s always exceptions.
I’m not sure why my earlier comment is being moderated, there’s nothing offensive in that reply. I’m just saying that this goes beyond the child of a couple of celebrities and more into people’s ignorant perceptions of what features babies of certain backgrounds are “supposed” to have. Many black and part-black babies are born with a full head of straight hair too. It happens.
Generalize much, Sunflower? I just love it when folks say they have “black friends” to justify what could be perceived as an offensive–or at the very least ignorant– comment. “Several” black friends are not indicative of an entire race. Black babies can be born with straight hair, curly hair, or very little hair just like BABIES OF EVERY OTHER RACES. sheesh.
Just trying to follow the logic here. Apparently no one who anon commenters think is “white” is allowed to have an opinion about a supposedly “black” baby.
Ok ….. too bad. We all comment here about personal appearances, including Bey’s blonde weave, her apparent lightening of her skin, Jay-Z’s facial features’ resemblance to a camel, etc.
So I’m not going to sit down & shut up. Either every celebrity is fair game, or not, regardless of their heritage/skin tint/culture/ethnicity, period.
Well, the latter part of your sentence isn’t always true. My kid had a full head of hair at birth.
My first thought was that the child was Hispanic because of the hair. Excuse my ignorance, please, but do African American children have hair that straight and of that texture at birth?
Yes, there are many that do (like me and plenty of others I know. The texture changes months/a year or two later) but of course my earlier comments about that aren’t being let through. Funny when I’ve seen much worse being made on here.
Some do, others don’t, but, typically, their hair will change texture as they get older. It’s the same with the skin tone of the baby, some black babies are born with the color they’ll be when they’re older and others develop darker skin in the first six months or so.
Yes they do, I for example and my kids. I am black with 2 black parents and my mother thought i was white when they presented me to her after she gave birth to me. My hair was straight and black and my eyes were gray. non-white babies come out in all shades with all different hair types. Oh and I have white friends too. and baby pics to back up what just wrote.
Each baby is different. I was bald, my sister was born with a full head of hair and her son was bald. And the same goes with black babies as well – some are born with straight hair, just like some are born with lighter skin that darkens in a few months once the melanin develops.
Bey Bey .. what an attention seeker she is
That needy wretch, Beyonce?
Beyonce of course
I didn’t watch the Grammy’s but I am going to guess Beyonce, this seems like her kind of stunt
This sounds like Beyonce. Was she there?
HATE TO SAY IT BUT THIS IS BEYONCE AND I LOVE HER!! LONG TIMER, LURKER, FIRST TIME POSTING
Justin Bieber?
My FAVORITE guess!
Beyonce
xxxtina obvi
Was x-tina supposed to be there?
Christina Aguilera
Okay… changing my guess to Beyonce… this does sound like her narcissistic personality. Plus, the “she was in shape” clue adds to it. I wouldn’t say Christina is in shape.
Madonna, Madonna, Madonna.
First timer Ace! Love your site. I guess Christina, JLo or Madonna. Hmmmmm
Hi Geri! Love, Ace
Christina Aguilera?
Christina Augilera (I’m sure I misspelled all of it)
Kanye West
Beyonce? the publicity stunt was the release of her baby pictures?
Madonna?
Oh, duh! Beyonce.
Beyonce. Ugh.
HELLO, BEYONCE.
Gotta be Fakeyonce. She was probably pissed that Jennifer Hudson was asked to do a musical tribute to Whitney.
BTW, Bossip is running a 7 1/2 min video showing the varying states of inflation of Bey’s fetal bump. Nice that someone put it all together in one video to show the progression – and regression – in size of the bump.
I read that somewhere else too that she’s pissed about JHud performing the Whitney tribute.
Sunflower! thanks for mentioning the video. it is pretty compelling, and well put together.
i was hoping someone would put something together like that for the fake bump. now someone go back in time and make one for Katie Holmes and her old switch-a-roo.
beyonce. booooo.
Beyonce “I’m too good to carry a baby because it will ruin my average body” Knowles
and if that were the case SJP didn’t carry none of her kids either so did you talk about her and Matty?
