Carrie Underwood and Queen Latifah were at a press conference when a reporter threw Carrie a curveball. He started the question in a very serious manner, asking her to comment on the political and social ramifications of ... (at this point Carrie is tensing up clearly wondering "is it an abortion question? A gay marriage question? What is it??")...the song "Pants on the Ground." It's too funny. Queen Latifah chimes in at the end of Carrie's very serious response.

Justin Bieber chatted with Maggie Rodriguez and Julie Chen about his mistake at the Grammy Awards (he said Beyonce's name instead of Bon Jovi's) and his rise to success by posting homemade videos to YouTube. Justin joked that he really didn't make a mistake in the Bon Jovi introduction, that it was just a way to get Beyonce's attention. Be sure to note how Maggie and Julie's hair is destroyed by the wind, while Justin's looks immaculate. Now that is some impressive use of hair products. Take a look:
There were many standout performances at the Grammys this year. But we think the prize for most amazing performance goes to Pink. She performed Glitter in the Air, singing live. But that's not all. She also sang 100 feet in the air, soaking wet, while suspended by bands. No one has any excuse for lip synching after seeing this unbelievable performance.
Pink said she performs this song every night on tour. But the Grammys venue has lights on the ceiling and she got disoriented and nearly fell that night. Thank goodness she didn't. You can see a high resolution video of Pink's stunning -- and death-defying -- Grammy performance

Here is the new music video for "Naturally" from Selena Gomez and The Scene. The song is from Selena and The Scene's album, Kiss and Tell.

At one point in the music video there at least fifteen Selenas. Take a look:

Nick Cannon interviews Paramore for CBS. When asked how they get ready for the red carpet the Paramore guys said they let Hayley Williams handle everything. Smart move. Take a look:
Hayley Williams also kept her Twitter account active during the Grammy Awards show. Hayley tweeted that she was excited director Quentin Tarantino knew about their band.
Ryan Seacrest interviewed the Black Eyed Peas on the Grammy Awards red carpet.
The Black Eyed Peas won three awards last night. Fergie was wearing an electric blue Pucci dress with a silver racing stripe. Josh Duhamel was hiding somewhere so Ryan Seacrest had to call him over. The interview went downhill once Johsh arrived. Take a look:
Beyonce and Taylor Swift took home a total of ten awards at last night's Grammy Awards. Beyonce was nominated ten times and Taylor Swift was nominated eight times.
Beyonce took home six Grammy Awards last night, including "Song of the Year" (for "Single Ladies"). She broke the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in a single year, while bringing her career Grammy total up to 16 (13 as a solo artist and 3 with Destiny's Child.) Beyonce other honors included Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Halo"), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Single Ladies"), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance ("At Last"), Best R&B Song ("Single Ladies") and Best Contemporary R&B Album (I Am Sasha Fierce). Beyonce talks about her record night in the clip below. Take a look:
Taylor Swift took home four awards from last night's 52nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, including Album of The Year for Fearless. Taylor, who turned 20 in December, is the youngest artist in history to win Album of the Year. Taylor also won the Grammy for Best Country Album for "Fearless," and took home trophies for Best Country Song and Best Country Vocal Performance for her hit "White Horse."
Taylor called her big win a "beautiful, beautiful surprise," saying from the stage, "Thank you so much! I just hope you know how much this means to me, and to Nathan [Chapman], my producer, and to all these musicians that you see on this stage, that we get to take this back to Nashville! This is for my dad: Thank you for all those times you said I could do whatever I wanted in life. And my mom: You're my best friend.....All of us, when we're 80 years old and we're telling the same stories again and again to our grandkids... this is the story we'll be telling."
Taylor Swift did drop one of her Grammy trophies. Hopefully, it can be glued back together.
The Grammys used to be known for having some of the worst fashions ever seen on a red carpet. The Grammys still have an edgier style, but things have changed. Several stars were wearing haute couture last night. Lady Gaga wore Armani Prive on the red carpet, for example. When she performed, Beyonce wore this custom made leather outfit designed by Atelier Versace. The black leather mini-dress was made of tiny leather triangles, ingeniously fastened together with metal studs.
Haute couture is changing -- you never would have seen a true couture house doing a costume for a pop star back in the day. It's a good move, and one that keeps the brands in the public's minds as something hot performers -- not just princesses and billionaires -- wear. The name recognition helps sell the diffusion and lesser priced lines. Couture lines that get this are here to stay.
Prince and Paris Jackson accepted an award at the Grammys last night for their deceased father, Michael Jackson. Michael received a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award and 12 year-old Prince choked up a bit while giving his heartfelt speech. "Our father loved you so much because you were always there for him." Prince said of his father: "Through all his songs, his message was simple: Love.". Prince spoke first, then Paris who said her father had planned to perform at the Grammys this year as he could not last year. It was a very touching moment which brought the crowd to its feet. Take a look:
Lady Gaga and Elton John opened the Grammys last night -- and they were truly fabulous together. First Lady Gaga did a quick "Poker Face" performance, wearing a seafoam green beaded leotard with exaggerated shoulder pads and matching booties. Giorgio Armani created the costume for Gaga, which also included hot-pink eye patches. Gaga and Elton John were pushed out on the stage for a duet with double pianos, which were covered in arms with hands curled in Gaga's signature "monster" move (Gaga refers to her fans lovingly as little monsters). Both performers had their faces painted with streaks of ash. Elton John wore a celestial earring and glitter sunglasses; he wore his hair spiked.
The two performed a mashup of Gaga's song "Speechless" and Elton John's classic "Your Song." Elton changed the words of his song to say "How wonderful life is with Gaga in the world." They were really amazing together and pretty much brought the house down. Take a look:
Update: that video has been removed. You can see the performance here.
Singer Colbie Caillat won her first Grammy award at the this year's awards show with Jason Mraz. Colbie won in the category, "Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals," for he song with Jason Mraz called "Lucky." The song appears on Mraz's third studio album "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." Colbie was wearing a gold strapless dress. Take a look:
Taylor called her big win a "beautiful, beautiful surprise," saying from the stage, "Thank you so much! I just hope you know how much this means to me, and to Nathan [Chapman], my producer, and to all these musicians that you see on this stage, that we get to take this back to Nashville! This is for my dad: Thank you for all those times you said I could do whatever I wanted in life. And my mom: You're my best friend.....All of us, when we're 80 years old and we're telling the same stories again and again to our grandkids... this is the story we'll be telling."
