Woman Who Tweeted She'd Let Chris Brown Beat Her Inundated With Assault, Rape Threats

Erin Gloria Ryan — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:00:00 EST

Yesterday, the internet was abuzz and a-head-shake with news that several fans of Chris Brown expressed their adoration of the star by Tweeting that they'd let the convicted domestic abuser hit them in the face. Some concerned people even took it upon themselves to teach those female internet users a lesson about joking about domestic violence— by threatening to beat and even rape them. One of the now-infamous Tweeters told me her side of the story. More »

Sartorial Inanity Abounds on Grammys Red Carpet

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:00:00 EST

Fuck the Oscars: the Grammys are the red carpet event of the year. Creativity trumps beauty every time, and everyone gets a pass because they're "artists." It was unclear how Whitney Houston's untimely event would affect anyone's wardrobe decisions (can you dress for mourning on a red carpet?) but, fortunately for us, the freak flags were definitely not flown at half-staff.

Your 2012 Grammy Award Winners

Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:45:00 EST

It wasn't all for happy reasons, but tonight's Grammys were certainly more interesting than a lot of years past. Whitney Houston's death hung over the proceedings, but there were plenty of fun moments too. Adele made her triumphant return to the stage—and basically won all of the Grammys too. Chris Brown looked like an idiot and sang like one too. Rihanna sounded and looked great. The Beach Boys gave a charming if slightly uneven performance. Jennifer Hudson gave Whitney a proper send off. Nicki Minaj got crazy—maybe a little too crazy—and Paul McCartney shut the evening down with a rendition of "Golden Slumbers." More »

Details of Whitney's Death Emerge: Xanax and Alcohol May Be to Blame

Doug Barry — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:00:00 EST

If you don't already know, let me be the first to apologize for ruining what should have been a placid Sunday of Grammy-snarking — Whitney Houston, the diva that even Bret Easton Ellis's misogynistic, socially-numb serial killer held in high esteem, died last night at the heart-breaking age of 48. Houston's hairdresser and bodyguard were the first to find the singer with her face underwater in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton where she was staying. Details are still scant, but, with typical journalistic stoicism, TMZ is already reporting that a mélange of Xanax and alcohol probably caused Houston to lose consciousness and drown in the tub. With ironic cruelty, fate determined that as members from the music community gathered at the Beverly Hilton to celebrate another year in mediocre music, they would mingle with the Los Angeles County paramedics transporting Houston's body from her hotel room to the coroner's office for an autopsy. Though Houston was plagued by years of drug abuse and a tumultuous 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown, she became the most-honored female singer of all time over her 25-year career, collecting more than 400 awards — including 6 Grammys and 30 Billboard Awards — and selling more than 170 million albums worldwide. She had a movie career that includes the VH1 go-to Saturday afternoon movie, The Bodyguard, as well as the more respectable and awesomely titled Waiting to Exhale. She's also credited with influencing the generation of female singers who followed her, a group that includes the likes of Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Celine Dion, who, along with just about every other disconsolate celebrity, poured their sorrow and dismay through the social sluice ways late last night: More »

Come Sunday, Adele Will Win All the Grammys

This helpful chart, put together by the folks at Esquire and Column Five Media, breaks down the Grammys by the numbers. And it looks like Adele will dominate the awards ceremony, partly because she can articulate the very contents of your soul — and partly because, you know, she sold 5.8 million albums, in an era during which folks allegedly don't buy music. Other notable numbers: 14, aka the number of vocal collaborators on one Kanye West track; and 0, the number of Grammy nominations LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" received. More »

The Harry Potter movies may be about the adventures of wholesome kids, but things behind the scenes weren't nearly as innocent. Daniel Radcliffe has admitted that he was in the throes of a major drinking problem while filming the series, and he'd often show up for work drunk. God, first Pat Sajak and now this. In an interview with Heat magazine this week, Radcliffe said that during his Potter period he often drank to the point of blacking out: More »

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:30:00 EST

If you can stop weeping into a pint of ice cream while listening to "Someone Like You" for a second, there's good news: Adele could win six Grammys. 21 has been nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album; "Rolling In The Deep" is up for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year; "Someone Like You" is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance. She's also nominated in the music video category. The question is: Will she be able to sing at the awards show on February 12? Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, your friend Kanye West nabbed seven noms, and Rihanna, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are also among the nominees. Oh! And Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. is up for Best R&B Album. Fun.

Are Changes To Grammy Categories "Subtle Racism?"

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 27 May 2011 11:22:00 EDT

In April, the Recording Academy announced that they were "consolidating" dozens of awards categories, changing some eligibility requirements and rewriting the rule on how members vote. Next year, the Grammy awards will have 31 fewer categories. Sounds better, more streamlined. So why is a coalition of musicians protesting the change? Because they believe the Academy is unfairly targeting ethnic* music. More »

Did CBS Reporter Have A Stroke During Grammys Broadcast?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:00:00 EST

Click to viewDuring a broadcast at the Staples Center after last night's Grammy awards, CBS Los Angeles reporter Serene Branson stumbled over some words, which eventually devolved into a series of unintelligible sounds before the station finally cut away. Branson doesn't appear to be inebriated in the footage, and it's clear from the look on her face that she, too, seems confused over her troubled speech. More »
