Speaking to British journalist Gordon Smart on the British radio station XFM, Lumineers frontman Wesley Schultz said that when the band was at the Grammy Awards [...]

We don’t think it was on the runways at the last Fashion Week, but after seeing Carrie Underwood’s sizzling 2013 Grammys performance, we’re pretty sure that wearing a projection screen is now a thing.

Late in the show, Cutie Underwood donned a gorgeous silver dress to perform her hit ‘Blown Away.’ And as she had the entire night, she looked amazing. Bonus: She also sounded unreal.

If, like us, you were confused why Faith Hill‘s mouth looked somewhat off during the 2013 Grammys telecast, you now have an answer. She was rocking braces. At 45. Ouch. The country stunner isn’t the first adult celeb to wear braces on a red carpet — Tom Cruise and Gwen Stefani have all done it, [...]

In an attempt to subvert the Grammys for not nominating him for anything, Justin Bieber tried to use the service UStream to live stream performances and a Q&A for his fans last night (Feb. 10) at the exact same time the Grammys were set to air.

But it seems like karma hit him and his crazed manager Scooter Braun with that one -- because the entire thing was a technology bust.

At the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night (Feb. 10) for the Grammys it may have been Taylor Swift vs. Kelly Clarkson and Adele vs. Rihanna and fun. vs. Frank Ocean. But there was a much larger battle going on and that was Justin Bieber vs. The Grammys.

2013 Grammys – Best Dressed [PHOTOS]

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:09:43 +0000

Gorgeous ladies and gorgeous gowns prevailed at the 2013 Grammys. With the dress code a topic of conversation leading up to the event, we were all watching to see who would take liberties with the sanctions against butt cracks, side boobs and nip slips.

Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Rowland did just that, but in the right way, while Rihanna, the one star everyone was expecting to ignore the rules altogether, was pretty as a princess and largely covered up, albeit with sheer material.

Here's our rundown of the Best Dressed at the 2013 Grammys.

Two of music's biggest voices - Adele and Beyonce - landed on the Worst Dressed list at the 2013 Grammys. That's not something we expect from either fashionable diva. But you know what, Katy Perry and her unsupported knockers also ended up on this list. So did her beau John Mayer for his Joker-like purple suit jacket.

Without further ado, here are our selections for Worst Dressed at the 2013 Grammys.

Host LL Cool J closed out the 2013 Grammys with a trip down nostalgia lane with his new song 'Whaddup,' reminding us that LL isn't just an actor and a guy who overuses the word "hashtag" -- he's still a pretty badass rapper.

We have already pushed this performance into the part of our brain where his ditty about genetically mutated sharks reside.

Cool was joined onstage by Public Enemy's Chuck D, DJ Z-Trip, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine fame on guitar and Blink-182 member Travis Barker on drums.

As the 2013 Grammys begin winding down, the biggest awards start to be handed out, and Record of the Year is certainly no exception.

Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys performed together at the 2013 Grammys, mashing up a performance of their songs 'Daylight' and 'Girl on Fire,' respectively. It didn't exactly feel like an "Oh yeah, that makes sense" partnership, but more like a way for the producers to pair up two acts, right next to one another, without having to swap out the stage or set up.

Photographers were on hand to capture the antics of the 2013 Grammy attendees because booze plus celebrities equals fun. Or in this case, photos plus the appearance of Ellen DeGeneres equals fun. That’s not to say there wasn’t alcohol or schmoozing either. Because there was plenty of that too. Whether stars were pouring out the [...]
