The Grammys Bust Out Memorable Performances Galore

Molly — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 07:00:00 -0800

The Grammys may seem like one of the longest shows of Award Season, but last night they mixed it up with some exciting performances. The show kicked off with U2 starring Bono, but the absence of Chris Brown and Rihanna was quickly felt. Justin Timberlake, Al Green, Keith Urban and Boyz II Men all stepped in to form a hodge podge second performance of the night while the young couple dealt with assault allegations and drama. Total highlights included Jay-Z on stage with Chris Martin and the "Swagger Like Us" performance with incredibly pregnant MIA. They looked like they were having so much fun. While Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took home some of the biggest awards John Mayer and Coldplay took home statues too - check out all the winners here.

Gwyneth looked hot introducing Radiohead while Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus sweetly collaborated to sing Swift's new single. Kanye and Estelle sounded fabulous before similarly named Adele won Best New Artist. Jennifer Hudson left the room choked up during her acceptance speech and strong performance. Keith Urban looked handsome on stage a few times - including the performance with John Mayer, BB King and Buddy Guy as a tribute to Bo Diddley - in between moments beside Nicole Kidman in their seats. The Jonas Brothers took the stage with Stevie Wonder just one of the pairings that kept this year's Grammys interesting.

Mayer and Mariah Make Grammy Nominations Into a Party

Molly — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:00:00 -0800

Last night the Grammy Awards took a new approach to nominations, making it a televised primetime event instead of reading out the nods early in the morning. John Mayer was one of the headliners and he also took home five nominations while Mariah sang and won two. Don't worry, Kanye's name is on the list too. Former Grammy winner Christina Aguilera isn't up for any this year, but she still got all gussied up for the red carpet. Taylor Swift hosted the night, but it was her ex Joe Jonas who may not be your dream guy, but picked up a nod for Best New Artist with the rest of the Jonas Brothers. In the end though, as we all know it was the year of Coldplay and Lil Wayne who led the nominations, check them out here.

To see more from the night including Ne-Yo, Kathy Griffin, The Jonas Brothers, Jermaine Dupri and others just read more.

John Mayer Can Still Share His Music If Not His Thoughts

PopSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 05:00:00 -0700

John Mayer continued to maintain those bulging biceps with a trip to the trainer in LA yesterday. He might not have much to say these days now that he's being more private for Jen, but we'll get to hear from John and his guitar in a few weeks. He's set to perform as part of “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! - Countdown To Music’s Biggest Night” on December 3. John will be joining Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, and B.B. King for the one hour special, but we're most excited to see whether or not Jen will be there to cheer him on from the audience.

Aniston Wins a Stony

PopSugar — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 11:44:14 -0700

Jennifer may not have won an Oscar yet but she has won a Stony for her work in Friends with Money. The High Times Stony Awards were Tuesday night at BB King's in New York and she would have walked away with the Best Actress in a Movie award - if she would have shown but we're thinking there is not a huge turn out at this event. Besides, rumor is she may have headed to London to visit Vince since they haven't been seen together in months. Other winners included, Weeds, A Scanner Darkly and the SNL skit “Lazy Sunday,” with Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell.
