AND THE GRAMMY NOMINEES ARE...

John Mayer and B.B. King performed last night during The GRAMMY Nominations Concert inside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California... All I gotta say is, B.B. King is THE MAN!!

With more nominations than anyone, Lil Wayne scored eight noms, followed by Coldplay with seven, and Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West each got six... Despite having one of the biggest worldwide hits of the year, Katy Perry was shut out of all categories except Best Female Pop Vocal Performance - Oh well :(

TALK ABOUT AWKWARD...

Avril Lavigne's husband, Deryck Whibley was put on the spot a little bit last night while doing an interview with Pugs & Kelly at the Grammy Awards.... First it was facing questioning about his prior relationship with Paris Hilton, then it was Kelly’s question, “Do you plan on being married for the next 50 years?” then it was whether or not Avril’s a good cook.... Ouch, tough questions.. very awkward!!

JUST WASN'T FEIST'S NIGHT...

Miss Leslie Feist... Wow!!... Speechless!!... I told you so?? She really embarassed herself last night...

I'll admit, it took some guts to present 1,2,3,4 to the Grammy audience last night as an acoustic set... but the performance fell flat because her voice didn't project well and she appeared quite stiff and unnatural on stage in front of everyone... Maybe it was because she went 0-4 in all her nominations before she performed... or maybe she's just isn't ready for that "major global spotlight" yet... Hmmm... See  for yourself below...

LOOK-A-LIKES??

American singer, Heather Schmid at tonight's Grammys and Canadian singer, Avril Lavigne??

What do you think?? Is Heather the American Avril?!

GRAMMYS: HOT & NOT...

Canadian singer, Nelly Furtado looked smoking hot at The 50th Annual Grammy Awards tonight... a special HOTTNESS shout-out goes to American singer, Carrie Underwood... What I wouldn't do for 5 minutes with either of these ladies!!

Lookin' very awkward on the red carpet was Canadian singer, Leslie Feist and her guest, Mocky...

RICK CAMPANELLI ASKS HARD QUESTIONS...

Tonight during The Grammys, ET Canada's Rick Campanelli (pictured below with Dee Dee Marcelli) asked singer, Natasha Bedingfield what she likes about Toronto... she answered it sorta...

"I just love the falls, the Niagara Falls you know... and I love Montreal... do people from Toronto and Montreal get along??"

And like a pro, one of the funniest moments on the red carpet was when Rick asked Brooke Hogan if her breasts were REAL... Brooke said YES and then began touching herself and jumping up and down - poor Rick could only try hard not to look/stare!!

CANADIAN AT HEART...

American actress, Tia Carrere was just spotted arriving at the 2008 Grammy Awards... You may remember her as Cassandra in the film, Wayne's World... She was SOOO hot back then!!

She's currently married to photojournalist, Simon Wakelin and lives in Toronto!! She must be doing well for herself, check out her bling below...

IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING??

After a few days of partying in New York, Canadian singer, Leslie Feist went to L.A. for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards MusiCares Fest. at the Staples Center yesterday.... I can''t believe I'm saying this, but she actually looks semi-hot signing those guitars!!
