"Pants on the Ground" Guy Performing at Grammys?!

It looks as though the “Pants on the Ground” guy will be getting more than his 10 minutes of fame. “General” Larry Platt performed the song during “American Idol” auditions just a few weeks ago, and just as Simon feared, it has become quite a hit.

Not only has he been on “The View”, performed for the Minnesota Vikings, and done interviews all over television, he is now reportedly performing at the Grammys! According to TMZ, the “General” will perform his catchy new tune right before the awards show.

On the down side, he will not actually be staying to watch the show. But hey, one step at a time “General”!

Amy Winehouse's Sweeping Wins

Amy Winehouse rocked the Grammys on Sunday night with her five award wins and remote satellite performance of her autobiographical single “Rehab.” The troubled twenty-four-year-old singer seemed shocked when she was announced as the record of the year winner, and was immediately enveloped by friends and family.

Winehosue pulled in awards for best new artist, song of the year, pop vocal album, and remote pop vocal performance, and only lost the final prize of album of the year to Herbie Hancock’s jazz album “River: The Joni Letters.”

She told The Associated Press “I am so proud of this album, I put my heart and soul into it and it’s wicked to be recognized in this way. I feel truly honored to be mentioned in the same breath as many of the artists present tonight and to win is even more amazing!”

Go Amy! She seems like such a sweet girl, lets hope she stays on track in rehab.

Grammy Performances

Check out Amy Winehouse's performance of "You Know I'm No Good"/"Rehab." Winehouse performed via satellite because her visa was originally denied, and when it was finally approved, it was too late for her to make it to the show.

Winehouse won five Grammys for record and song of the year, best new artist, best female pop vocalist and best pop vocal album for her single "Rehab" and the album Back to Black.


Kanye West performed "Stronger" and, as a tribute to his deceased mother, "Hey Mama." He took home four awards for best rap album, best rap solo performance for "Stronger," best rap performance for "Southside" with Common and best rap/sung collaboration for "Good Life" with T-Pain.


Rihanna also performed her hits "Umbrella"/"Don't Stop the Music." The singer scored a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Jay-Z for "Umbrella."


Carrie Underwood won two awards for "Before He Cheats," which she performed at the show. She won the categories of Female Country Vocal Performance and Country Song.

Winehouse to perform at Grammys via satellite

Although Amy Winehouse's visa was denied, thus preventing her from attending Sunday's 50th Annual Grammy Awards, she has found a way to still perform!

The troubled British singer, who was nominated in six categories, will perform material from her album, Back to Black, via satellite. Grammy officials announed that she will sing from a London studio.

Winehouse was nominated for Record of the Year ("Rehab"), Album of the Year (Back to Black), Song of the Year ("Rehab"), Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Rehab") and Best Pop Vocal Album (Back to Black).

Winehouse and Kanye West, who has eight nominations, are expected to dominate the awards this year.

UPDATE: Winehouse's visa eventually came through, but not in time for her to travel to Los Angeles to attend the Grammys. According to her representatives, she will continue with the backup plan to perform via satellite.

Amy Winehouse Unable to Attend Grammys

British singer Amy Winehouse was temporarily released from rehab on Monday, so she could apply for a US visa, where she was subsequently turned-down by the US Embassy.

The terms of her treatment dictated that the twenty-four-year-old star be under supervision at all times, and she went to the US Embassy accompanied by both her father and a nurse.

Although it is believed that she was seeking a visa so she could attend the Grammys in LA on Feb 10th, her reps issue a statements claiming "The appointment at the U.S. Embassy was made some time ago and was part of process for obtaining a visa. No decision has been made about the Grammys.”

After she was arrested in Norway last October for possession of cannabis, Winehouse was banned from the US. The star was turned down for a visa by the US Embassy in London, and will be forced to stay in rehab.

Her rep also claims that “Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery.”

Winehouse has been nominated for six awards, and ironically, Amy’s single “Rehab” is up for both record and song of the year.

Grammy News

A new announcement about who will be performing at this year's Grammy Awards was released. Check out Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna as the show this year. The show will go on… Feb. 10 @ 8PM ET/PT on CBS!

This is just too funny

This man is apparently suing the Grammy awards for his spouse not being able to perform her wifely duties. This is just so reminiscent of the incident with the McDonald's pickle, I don't even know where to begin...haha.
