When Frank Ocean won for the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, everyone in the audience gave him a standing ovation. Well, everyone except for Chris Brown. Not surprising
This might be the best picture ever taken, or it's at least a contender. In case you hadn't heard, CBS said it wouldn't allow exposed breasts, butts, or genitalia at the Grammys, and several stars are in direct violation. However, nobody more egregiously than Perry, who looks like she arrived from the set of Boogie…
It's the Grammys! When famous people get drunk and then collect awards for being pretty, and the musicians who wrote their songs watch on the TV in Sweden. JK, it's a bunch of talented, attractive people hugging it out. And you never know what could happen, remember Adele's Rolling in the Deep performance last year?…
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…
In this edition of Tweet Beat, Adam Scott calls it like he sees it, everyone is reacting to the Grammys, Martha Stewart's chow is ready for its closeup and Neko Case has some strong words for the Golden Arches.
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,…
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

Jennifer Hudson managed to get through her Grammys tribute to Whitney Houston without crying, but the same can't be said for most of the audience. It can't have been an easy performance, but she delivered a beautiful version of "I Will Always Love You" and reminded us exactly why we will miss Whitney Houston.
Reminder: Just in case you haven't lost the heart to tune in, Whitney Houston's wake the 54th annual Grammy Awards will air tonight at 8/7c on CBS.
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 …
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
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…
If you can stop weeping into a pint of ice cream
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…
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 …
Tonight at the Grammys, Lady Gaga emerged from her alien pod
Says today's Times, "interruption has clearly gained a foothold in American discourse these days, and is proving a powerful weapon for influencing the national conversation." Indeed! Just look at some of recent history's most infamous incidents.
I thought Lady Gaga should have won album of the year at the Grammys. I wrote about it
At last night's very long, and very crowded, Grammy Awards, most of the audience members were just as confused, annoyed, and distracted as the viewers at home.
These were the getups that defy easy classification. Is it art? Is it fashion? Is it ugly? Or is it all in the eye of the beholder?
