Buble Boy

I hate celebrities that whine publicly in an attempt to garner publicity, since any news is good news.

Recently, Michael Buble made headlines when he told Canadian Press he was going to boycott the Grammys because the award he was nominated nominated for -- best traditional pop album -- was not going to be given out during the live televised portion of the show. He also said Tony Bennett, who was nominated in the same category, was likely going to win, so there would be no point in going anyway.

Boo hoo Buble. Most musical artists aren't good enough, or don't have the sales, to be nominated for a Grammy, so quit whining.

Plus he said: "Red carpets suck . . . (People) don't know me. They don't want to talk to me."

Of course, people don't recognize you. You're a crooner and big band singer, plus you're Canadian. A lot of Americans aren't going to recognize you.

If you want to be recognized, join a boy band. Or you could just enjoy the privacy of being a lesser known celeb and shut up.

Buble decided to go to the Grammys in the end. The whole thing was probably a publicity stunt. But I say, if you're going to run your mouth, stand by your words.
