The real Grammy drama: even scarier than that Joe Jonas-Taylor Swift reunion
And yeah, I had no idea until the show was over about the Chris Brown scandal. What I get for watching WKRP instead of the red carpet coverage, and paying more attention to the pre-ceremony winners list than the actual news during commercial breaks. But apparently, Chris Brown is being held on $50,000 bail in a felony assualt investigation. That cost him a Grammy performance, and his (hopefully ex) girlfriend Rihanna likewise bowed out. Their slot was filled by the Al Green-Justin Timberlake-Keith Urban performance, which explains their respective ubiquities on the show, and proves my theory that Timberlake is a day-saving pop-culture superhero. Rihanna, rumored to be the victim of Brown’s assault (not officially confirmed), was slated to perform at least a portion of “Live Your Life,” as my comments during “Dead and Gone” had wished. But thanks to Chris Brown’s aggressive hands (allegedly, natch), no such luck. Full story here, and I’m sure all along the blogopshere.
