Swagga. I missed the intro. Who was the pregnant one who opened the number?
Miranda
M.I.A. (that's her name) is the voice singing the track for “Swagga Like Us”…when Latifah introduced her and said “welcome the mommy-to-be”…I had no idea she meant mommy-to-be later on tonight. Girly looked like her water was about to break any moment. Her stylist should be taken out back and flogged for that ridiculous outfit.
spirit_55z
Geez, I thought the preggers look was part of the stage show. That outfit was not an attractive look.

From Bossip:
UPDATE *Exclusive* Chris Brown Gives Rihanna Black Eye For Giving Him Herpes?!?!?
Posted by Bossip Staff
UPDATE: Bossip just exclusively learned that Chris Brown and Rihanna got into a heated argument which was reportedly about how Rihanna gave him Herpes, which resulted in him giving Rihanna a black eye. Our source tells us that there is a warrant out for his arrest and neither star will be performing or attending the Grammys this evening. You heard it here first

Well, well, well. A black eye fades, HERPES is forever.
I don't condone knowingly giving a partner herpes or punching a woman in the eye.
Justice58
Oh Lord!
Justice58
Yes she was! After the standing ovation, it looked as if she wanted to cry.

UPDATE!
CHRIS BROWN TURNED HIMSELF INTO THE POLICE IS IN CUSTODY.
Justice58
Spirit,
I believe she's always cranky. She is mean!
nickwah22
you found a way to make the situation funny. :)
evita
That is her usual hot mess look.
I have to say I have NEVER seen someone THAT pregnant work it like she did on stage. This is the biggest night of her lil ol career so I give her mad props getting there and doing her thing.
The feminst movement needs to give her some credit. Showing up THAT big, with a sheer outfit saying SO WHAT I'M PREGNANT was so feminist. Viva la uterus!
evita
JT and Al Green were filling in for Chris Brown and Rihanna who were supposed to perform but they got into a fight then she went to the hospital and his is in police custody……
see above.

Singer Chris Brown turns self in to police
Last update: 10:52 p.m. EST Feb. 8, 2009
LOS ANGELES, Feb 8, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) –
R&B star Chris Brown turned himself in to police Sunday in connection with an alleged domestic violence assault on singer Rihanna, the Los Angeles Times said.
Brown, accompanied by another man, went to the Los Angeles Police Department Wilshire Division station at about 7:15 p.m. PST. Police were expected to issue a public statement Sunday evening, the newspaper said.
Citing sources familiar with the investigation, the newspaper said LA police are investigating the incident as a felony domestic violence case. Law enforcement sources told TMZ police received a call about the incident at 12:30 a.m. Sunday, and arrived to find a woman who claimed Brown, 19, assaulted her during an argument in a car.
Police said in a statement the woman was Brown's girlfriend, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the Times reported. The woman reportedly had visible injuries and Brown was not at the scene when police arrived.
Recording Academy officials announced Rihanna, 20, would not perform as scheduled Sunday at the Grammy Awards. Soul singer Al Green took her spot on the show, accompanied by country artist Keith Urban.
TMZ said when it contacted Rihanna's representatives for a statement regarding the incident, a publicist said: “Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support.”
A spokesman for Brown's record label did not respond to a Times request for comment on the report.
Rihanna and Brown were nominated for the Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals — Rihanna for “If I Never See Your Face Again,” which she recorded with Maroon 5, and Brown for “No Air,” which he performed with Jordin Sparks. The Grammy went to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for “Rich Woman.”
Rihanna was also up for best dance recording for “Disturbia.” The Grammy in that category went to Daft Punk for “Harder Better Faster Stronger.”

AND she is a Sri Lankan refugee. bonus points
spirit_55z
You mean she really doesn't need a reason, Justice? LOL!
spirit_55z
LOL@viva la uterus. Word., props for showing up and brnging it.. I've never heard of her until tonight.
Dress, still a hot mess.

Reason why i like Robin Thicke over Justin Timberlake.
Robin Thicke walks the walk and talks the talk. He writes, sings, produces and lives soul music. Justin Timberlake writes, sings, produces and steals sounds from soul music pioneers waters it down, and makes it more pop-tastic. The whole album = Michael Jackson ripoff, the lovesexmoney…whatever album= Prince ripoff with some Timbaland production to make it seem fresher.

And Chris Brown will be back in Tappahannock VA bussing tables at Lowry's Seafood Restuarant in 5…4…3…2…

Didn’t Naomi go down there and get ill trying to get something done?
Justice58
Nope. I'm telling you, one day Naomi will meet her match and she'll get her ass rolled.
Justice58
I tuned in late, Spirit. I missed Whitney. Fantabulous huh? You don't say? Hmmmm.

rikyrah: LOOKIN' AHEAD!:
First foreign trip – Obama to visit Canada
POTUS's first foreign trip will be a quick plane ride North to Ottawa on Feb. 19. The day-long trip is the customary…
…first foreign stop for presidents, although Bush 43 broke with custom and traveled first to Mexico.
During the trip, NAFTA will no doubt be discussed as will the concept of “Buy America”—an idea that POTUS said might be “a potential source of trade wars that we can't afford at a time when trade is sinking all across the globe.”
As part of the economic stimulus package, the House approved a version of the $820 billion bill that made buying American made products a prerequisite for securing money. The Senate passed a version of the bill that watered down the provision and made it consistent with U.S. Trade agreements.
HE'S EXPLORING ALL OPTIONS!! LEADERSHIP!! :>) :>)
