Our favorite hateable chipmunk Miley Cyrus took the stage with Taylor Swift to “sing” “Fifteen”.

Here’s a clip from their duet:

The duo also announced the Grammy for the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. That award went to Robert Plant and Allison Krauss for their song, “Rich Woman”.

Duffy and Al Green took the stage to introduce the winner of The Song Of The Year. They both did their little singing snippets and announced the nominees for the Grammy.

The winner Coldplay for their song, “Viva La Vida”.

Afterwards, Kid Rock got on the stage and performed “Amen”.

Simon Baker from “The Mentalist” introduced Coldplay, who performed a song from their album, “Viva La Vida.” Jay-Z took the stage to rap while Chris Martin was plugging away at the piano. I’m really not feeling this crossover. The crowd cheered, but I’m still not feeling it. It got a little more lively after that, which was better. I’m still trying to figure out why Jay-Z was rapping during the slow part of the song….Anyone know?

Enough about that. Keith Urban got on the stage to give Gene Autry the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He also introduced Carrie Underwood, who performed some country crap that I had to mute. Oh my God, her outfit was hideous. She was wearing some poet-like dress with some glittery S&M crap going on.

Cheryl Crowe and LeAnn Rimes took the stage to announce the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award to Brenda Lee for her contribution to music.

They also announced the Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group Award, with the winner being Sugarland for their song, “Stay”.

The 2009 Grammy Awards were in full effect tonight and U2 opened the show with their new song, “Get On Your Boots”.

Whitney Houston was on stage to present the Best R&B Album Award. She looked good and thanked “visionary”, Clive Davis.

Best R&B Album – Jennifer Hudson

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was on stage, acting like a dork, talking about Katy Perry’s song, “I Kissed A Girl”. He also told us of all of the people who would be performing tonight. The Rock is no comedian and he told a joke that really fell flat in Katy’s face.

Justin Timberlake took the stage and discussed Al Green’s music. Everyone is trying to be a comedian tonight and it’s not going over well. He introduced Boys 2 Men, Keith Urban, and Al Green, who all performed together, along with Justin. This performance is good, but the audio seems rather poor quality.

Whitney Houston performed at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday and sounded absolutely great. Check out the video below to hear her sounding almost like she used to.

I know, not the best that we’ve heard from Whitney before, but the lady is getting her stuff together, and for that we must applaud her.

After Etta James dissed Beyonce for “singing her song”, she has just released a statement saying that it was all a joke.

She says, “I didn’t really mean anything. Even as a little child, I’ve always had that comedian kind of attitude… That’s probably what went into it.”

She said that she was put out by Beyonce’s performance because she felt left out of something that “was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around.”

She added, “Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle. They were all laughing, and it was funny.”

She doesn’t exactly apologize or downplay what she said about Beyonce. But she does say that the comments she made about Barack Obama were a joke. She says, “I always thought he was handsome and he was cool. I still had my joke about him. That might be horrible. The President might not ever like me in life. But he’s got other stuff to worry about besides Etta James.”

So she was basically miffed that Beyonce was asked, instead of her. Etta’s rant is here, in case you missed it.

Lily Allen’s new album, “It’s Not Me, It’s You” is set for release on February 9th. Early birds will be able to snatch up the album for a mere $3.99 for only a week, though.

She’s really giving the album away…well, close enough anyways.

Lily has previously said that she hasn’t really made a killing off of her music, so I figured that’s why she wasn’t going the way of Radiohead and just giving it away for free.

She is teaming up with MySpace Music and Amazon.com that will allow her to offer her new album for the lower price until February 16th.

I hope it does well. Eff Katy Perry.

Britney Spears sex tape in 3…..2…..1…..

Apparently, Britney has discovered that her personal journals and video diaries have been stolen from her home in Beverly Hills. Sources revealed that the diaries contain intimate details about her famous breakdown last January and her time in the mental ward at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

An insider says, “Britney is in a panic over the stolen journals and video interviews done during some of the darkest days of her life. She wants desperately to tell her side for her boys. She wants them to know the truth – her truth.”

Bummer for her. I bet those get released to the public soon. What do you think? I know it’s low, but people will do anything for that almighty dollar.

Lady Gaga’s new song, “Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)” got the remix treatment from Frankmusick and I have to say, it sounds really really good.

Have a listen:

What do you think? You like this version better than the original?

Also, don’t forget about the autographed copy of “The Fame” that I have up for grabs!

Miley Cyrus has been a bad little chipmunk. She was photographed making the slanted-eyes gesture with some friends.

She’s taken to her fan site, MileyWorld, to discuss…errr…semi-apologize for her stupidity.

She says:

Ive also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, Im sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context!

In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. If that would of been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new ‘BAD GIRL’!

I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!

You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like Ive owned up to them and apologized.

Anyway, I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and Acting! Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! Yayy! =] It will be a nice change to be back out on the road again! xoxo Blessings.. Miley =)

So, in essence, she’s saying that it’s not her fault that WE misinterpreted her friends and her making stupid faces? Nice way to try and turn it around, Miley, but it’s not gonna work this time. It sounds to me like she’s trying to take the focus off of her stupid kid antics by talking about Britney Spears.

Oh snap!

Etta James got on stage and was getting ready to sing her famous song, “At Last” when she dug her claws into Beyonce. Bey sang the song at Barack Obama’s Inaugural Ball and this did not make Etta happy, not one bit.

Etta says:

“I’m gonna do a song for ya now that…umm….You guys know your president right? (crowd: “Yeah.”) You know the one with the big ears. Yeah, wait a minute, he ain’t my President, he might be yours. I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whipped. (Applause.) The great Beyonce! Now like I said, she ain’t mine. And you aint mine, I mean I made a mistake, you are mine. But I can’t stand Beyonce! She had no business up there singing. Singing on a big ol’, big ol’ president’s day and going be singing my song that I’ve been singing forever. We’re gonna do that song for you. I gotta do it for you…(inaudible over applause)…That song is called, ‘At Last.’”

Mwuahahaha! (In case you missed it, this was also my first Youtube upload….enjoy!)
