And the Grammys beat goes on

For those of you that are sad the Grammys are over, Fear not!  You can relive your wannabe celebrity dream in these last bits of left over crumbs. As Reported by the
AP
:

WAY TO GO, J-HUD:
Jennifer Hudson
has a Grammy to go with that Oscar. A week after her return to the national stage at the
Super Bowl
, the actress-singer picked up the first award of the telecast, Best R&B Album for her namesake solo disc. Hudson’s victory is bittersweet, coming several months after the killings of her mother, brother and nephew. In her
acceptance speech
, Hudson gushed: “I’m just in awe right now. … I would like to thank my family in heaven and those who are here today.”

JT MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER:
Justin Timberlake
performing “
Let’s Stay Together
” alongside
Al Green
was a top-notch moment. Yeah,
Keith Urban
and
Boyz II Men
were somewhere on stage, but all eyes were on Timberlake’s smooth moves and harmonies with Green.

___

JONAS BROTHERS
‘ WORST NIGHTMARE: Poor Nick and Joe Jonas, two-thirds of the pop-rock phenomenon. Who knows what went through the siblings’ minds when their respective exes, teen phenoms
Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift
, took
center stage
to perform an acoustic duet of Swift’s song “Fifteen.”

___

BEST PERFORMANCE AND WORST OUTFIT BY A PREGNANT WOMAN: Rapper M.I.A., who was due to give birth Grammy night, held her own during an all-boys’ rap summit on “Swagga Like Us” with
Jay-Z
,
Kanye West
,
Lil Wayne
and T.I. But, oh, that outfit. She exposed her belly in a sheer black top — or was it a dress? — that had a bikini cutout design, strategically covering her chest.

___

KANYE EGO MOMENT OF THE NIGHT: West showed some sour grapes at not being recognized for being the greatest gift the music world has ever seen. The brash hip-hop star and singer Estelle presented the award for Best New Artist, and West couldn’t resist slamming Grammy for bestowing the honor to past winners
John Legend
and
Amy Winehouse
“but somehow, not to either one of us.”

___

A TRIBUTE TO NEW ORLEANS:
Robin Thicke
, Lil Wayne and
Allen Toussaint
did the city justice with their rousing, soulful collaboration, supported by a
brass band
that had the audience on its feet.

___

HE JUST WANTS TO DANCE:
Radiohead
frontman
Thom Yorke
was way more animated than usual, dancing energetically during the band’s performance of “15 Step.”

___

AN OVERDUE GRAMMY:
The Four Tops
, which never won music’s highest honor, finally received their due with a
lifetime achievement award
; sadly, the group’s lone surviving member, Abdul “Duke”
Fakir
, could not share it with his three former bandmates. But he did turn out one of the night’s more memorable performances, joined by
Smokey Robinson
,
Ne-Yo
and
Jamie Foxx
in a medley of the band’s greatest hits
