The music industry was all out on show last night at the 54th Grammy Awards. Trent has given us an initial rundown of the essential Whitney Houston tributes throughout the show. There were many amazing, memorable performances last night at the Grammy’s. Some of our fave vocalists and bands received standing ovations from their music peers. Was it the magnificent Adele, or the iconic Paul McCartney? Did you like the Rihanna-Coldplay duo? Who did you think was the best artist of the night? Read on also for a full list of the winners…

Last night’s Grammy Awards were understandably colored by the tragic death of our wonderful, Whitney Houston. Trent will continue to update us on this ongoing, and devastating, story. In the midst of all the darkness, as so many people pointed out on the red carpet and at the awards, there is still the need for lightness and color. What better way to celebrate color than by looking at who wore it best. Any award show is as much about celebrating talent as it is about praising fashion’s finest. Did you see what they wore and who looked the best?

The 54th annual Grammy Awards will be handed out in a lavish ceremony next February but last night, in Los Angeles, CA, the nominations for next year’s award show were announced … in a somewhat lavish concert event. Pop stars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga and more were on hand to perform during a special Grammy Awards Concert to highlight the nominations announcement last night. Kanye West garnered the most noms with 7 which musicians Adele, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars nabbed 6. Click below to find out who else walked away with Grammy Award nominations last night.

Earlier today we learned that the relatively unknown artists Esperanza Spalding (Best New Artist) and Arcade Fire (Album of the Year) took home two of the biggest awards at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards last night … but right now, we get to check out some photos from some of the other Grammy attendees and winners from last night’s show. The big winner of the night was Country act Lady Antebellum. They walked away with two of the most prestigious Grammy Awards of the year — Record of the Year and Song of the Year — and won 5 of their 6 nominations. BUT, there were other winners as well. It was a big night for music here in LA last night.

The 53rd annual Grammy Awards were handed out here in Los Angeles, CA last night and, for the most part, many of the awards were handed out to the usual suspects. BUT, two of the night’s biggest awards were handed out to musicians unknown to the better part of the mainstream audience … which resulted in a lot of “Who?!” exclamations after their names were announced as winners. The 2011 Best New Artist award went to singer Esperanza Spalding (who beat out Florence + the Machine, Justin Bieber, and others) and the night’s biggest award — Album of the Year — went the Arcade Fire for their album The Suburbs (who beat out Eminem, Lady Gaga and more).

In the wake of rampant rumors going around that Britney Spears will be performing next month on the 2011 Grammy Awards telecast, we learned yesterday that Britney‘s people have DENIED that she is performing. This morning, the Grammy Awards announced which performers will be performing on the show and the list includes Eminem, Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green, Lady Gaga and more … unsurprisingly, Britney Spears is NOT listed among the performers.

In the wake of the stunning success of Britney Spears‘s just-released new single Hold It Against Me this week, a new rumor started to go around yesterday that claims that our dear Britney will be performing during the 2011 Grammy Awards next month. According to People magazine, Britney will NOT be performing at the show and her own people have issued a statement saying that any news not officially released by them is merely “rumor”. But, I have it on good authority that plans are in the works to get Britney to perform during the awards show so … who to believe?

Congratulations are in order for Eminem and a host of other musical acts who are celebrating their Grammy Awards nominations today. Em ended up nabbing 10 nominations — including Album of the Year — while Lady Antebellum, Jay-Z and Lady Gaga each walked away with 6 nominations each. Read on for all the deets on who will and who won’t compete for Grammy Awards in 2011:

When Eminem was first nominated for album of the year some 10 years ago for “The Marshall Mathers LP,” it marked a milestone for the Grammys as it chose to honor an album that was considered masterful in its artistry yet morally bankrupt in its values. On Wednesday, as the Recording Academy once again nominated Eminem for album of the year along with nine other bids, it again gave accolades to a foul but genius piece of work — Cee Lo’s “Fuck You,” an infectious retro groove with an unforgettable, unprintable chorus. The tune, which is so profane it had to be changed to “Forget You” for radio play, was nominated for two top Grammy honors: record and song of the year … It’s a sign of how much times, and Eminem himself, have changed that his leading nominations were not controversial, but expected and respected. The person with the second-leading tally, Bruno Mars with seven, was not without his own drama this year, after being arrested in Las Vegas in a cocaine possession case, which is pending. It was the only negative in a brilliant year for Mars, who co-wrote “Fuck You” and was also featured on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You,” also nominated for record of the year … Other top nominees included Lady Antebellum, Jay-Z and Lady Gaga, who were all nominated with six each. Gaga also was nominated for album of the year — the second straight nomination in the category for her … Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” was one of the year’s top hits but was shut out of the record and song of the year categories. Yet Perry, who performed the hit on the nominations broadcast, was far from disappointed: Her album “Teenage Dream” was nominated for album of the year, along with Gaga’s “The Fame Monster,” “Recovery,” “Need You Now” and Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” … Justin Bieber … was nominated for best new artist in a category that also included Drake, Florence & the Machine, Mumford & Sons and jazz artist Esperanza Spaulding … The evening’s biggest snub may have belonged to Ke$ha. Even though the party-girl singer had a top-selling debut and several hit songs, she was not nominated for any awards.

Biggest snub? Are you EFFING kidding me? Ke$ha‘s music is complete shite! Yes it’s catchy but it’s meaningless … and not in that “all pop music is meaningless” sort of way. I am not always a fan of the way the Grammy noms and awards get handed out but Ke$ha‘s shut-out this year kinda restores my faith in the institution of the Grammy Awards. In my mind, Eminem had one of THE best albums of the year … hands down. I’m hoping he’ll clean up at the Grammys next year. Click HERE to see the full list of 2011 Grammy Awards nominations. Did your faves get noms? Who are you rooting for to win?

Britney Spears and her agent/beau Jason Trawick jetted off together to record some music in Miami, FL late last week but the pair managed to traverse the country in time to get all dolled up for the Grammy Awards last night … yes, they attended as a couple :) Here are pics of Britwick pausing for a break in between recording sessions in Miami …

… and here is the happy couple seated together at the Staples Center last night for the Grammy Awards:

Britney looked fantastic! Britwick look so good together! I can’t even express how pleased I am to see them out and about together … in public. May their relationship continue to flourish in the coming weeks and months. Jason seems really, really good for Britney. I really hope their relationship can truly stand the test of time.

Earlier today we learned that Taylor Swift made history as the youngest performer to win the Album of the Year award at the 52nd Grammy Awards last night and Beyoncé made Grammy history as the most honored woman in an single night. We also learned that the late Michael Jackson was paid tribute by a group of Grammy performers in a fun 3D performance and his children appeared on stage to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award. But there were a lot of other folks at the Staples Center last night for the Grammy Awards … many of whom made their grand arrivals on the red carpet last night:

I know Imogen Heap is taking a lot of flak for her weird outfit but A.) she always dresses weird so what’s the big deal and B.) her dress was a very special one that was broadcasting a live Twitter feed from her followers so that they could be with her at the Grammys last night. She gets snaps in my book. There was a lot of love, a lot of crazy mess and a lot of divas on the red carpet last night … which is pretty standard fare, I think. After the jump, check out a few photos from the show itself and find out who else took home Grammophone tropies from the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards last night …
