Kanye and Amy Winehouse were the big Grammy winners tonight. And good on them. They both deserved it because Kanye always feels snubbed by the world, and Amy has been a massive mess recently. I’ve been searching the web trying to figure out if Amy was under the influence during her performance or not…I know she’s been in rehab, and she’s 17 days sober, new tooth and all. HOWEVER, she seemed a little wacky-doo to me. I know what you’re thinking, she’s a little wacky-doo all the time, but something was a bit off. But, then again, her mom was there, and I’m sure she’s on close surveillance, so maybe I’m the one on crack…onward. The winners are: ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.
