It’s The Lauren Alaina Show

Posted on March 3, 2011 by

Ta-Tynisa started off the night in a cupcake dress a la Julie Zorrilla.  That would be the last thing that worked for her for the next 90 seconds.  Only Girl wasn’t epically bad like Antonella Barba’s Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing … Continue reading →
