Grammy Awards

The 66th Grammy Awards aren't off to the best start ... 'cause the Recording Academy pulled a Warren Beatty -- and Nicki Minaj fans are PISSED!!!

Here's the deal ... the Grammys don't start until 5 PM PT, but before the ceremony, the Recording Academy uses its X account to hand out some of the trophies -- basically to cut down time during the ceremony.

One of those awards ... Best Rap Song, which was won by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice for their song "Barbie World" -- a huge moment for the rappers -- except it didn't last 'cause the Academy seemingly took it back.

You see ... the Recording Academy deleted that congratulatory tweet and posted a different one -- saying Killer Mike had actually won the trophy for his track "Scientists & Engineers" featuring André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane.

Multiple outlets are reporting KM as the real winner of the Gramophone... so it seems NM and IS are officially out of luck!

Nicki's been through this song and dance before ... she's now racked up 12 nominations without taking home a single one. She was also nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media -- but lost that one to Billie Eilish and FINNEAS for "What Was I Made For?" When it rains, it pours!

But if anyone's taking it harder than Nicki ... it's the Barbz -- who think the whole damn ceremony is rigged.

In fact, they're so sure about this they've got #Scammys and #BarbieWorld trending on X ... basically claiming the Academy rigged the results because of Nicki's explosive beef with Megan Thee Stallion.

So is there some kinda of grand conspiracy going on, or just an honest mistake from the Recording Academy's social media manager? Let us know below.

Glen Powell está acabando con todos esos rumores sobre Sydney Sweeney, porque en lugar de suspirar por su prometida compañera de reparto, está de fiesta con un montón de modelos.

El actor salió en Los Ángeles el sábado a una fiesta Pre-Grammys con unas cuantas damas encantadoras, y aunque no le dijo nada a los fotógrafos, dejó una gran impresión entre la multitud.

Glen se subió a un carro de lujo con varias personas, entre ellas las modelos Sienna Raine y Sarah Hands y, si somos honestos, un par de sus acompañantes parecían absolutamente enamoradas del chico.

Basta con mirar a esas caras. Grandes sonrisas y ojos atentos, parece que Powell era el alma de la fiesta. No es de extrañar, ya que el tipo no solo es guapísimo, ¡sino también muy divertido!

Glen claramente está avanzando en el mundo de las citas, recordemos que su ex novia -Gigi Paris- lo dejó en medio de especulaciones de que estaba interesado en Sydney Sweeney de Euphoria, los dos protagonizaron la comedia romántica "Anyone But You" y las fotos en el set se veían bastante coquetas para ser honestos.

Por supuesto, la pareja ha negado que algo estuviera pasando entre ellos, aunque Sydney dejó algunos comentarios sugerentes en el Insta de Glen y dijo que ella se preocupa por él profundamente... este tipo de cosas sin duda llamó la atención de los fans.

Glen parece estar poniendo esos rumores atrás, esperemos que de una vez por todas, porque el hombre está claramente disfrutando de la vida de soltero después de salir de una larga relación.

Glen Powell's really putting all those Sydney Sweeney rumors to bed ... 'cause instead of pining over his engaged costar he's partying with tons of models!

The actor stepped out in L.A. Saturday after a Pre-Grammys bash with a few lovely ladies ... and even though he didn't say anything to the photogs waiting outside the venue he still made quite the impression on the crowd.

GP hopped in an SUV with several people including models Sienna Raine and Sarah Hands ... and, if we're being honest, a couple of his companions seemed absolutely smitten with the guy.

Just look at those faces ... big smiles and attentive eyes -- seems like Powell was the life of the party. Not exactly surprising given the dude's not only drop-dead gorgeous, but he's also hella funny to boot!

Glen's clearly moving on in the dating world ... remember, his longtime GF Gigi Paris dumped him amid speculation he was interested in Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney -- the two starred in the rom-com "Anyone But You" and on-set photos looked flirty as hell.

Of course, the pair have denied anything was going on between them ... though Sydney left some suggestive comments on Glen's IG and said she cares about him deeply -- a lot of stuff that caught fans' eyes.

Glen seems to be putting those rumors to rest -- hopefully once and for all -- here ... 'cause the man's clearly enjoying the single life after getting out of a long relationship.

Clive Davis is reliable for sure ... it's Grammy night Sunday, and he threw his annual Pre-Grammy gala as promised Saturday night, and the stars showed up.

Megan Thee Stallion, Janelle Monáe, Paris Hilton, and Lana Del Rey were there for starters. Serena Williams, Ice Spice, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Julia Garner and Green Day were all present. But wait, there's more ... Jay-Z, Beyonce, Scottie Pippen, Martina Navratilova, and Nancy Pelosi all made their entrances.

It's been an annual tradition since 1976, and it's been one big celebration ... except in 2012, when hours before the event, Whitney Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

BTW ... we're not finished with the guest list ... Mariah Carey, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Andra Day, Keke Palmer, Kylie Minogue, Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Bebe Rexha, Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, Victoria Monét, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, Coco Jones, Joan Collins, Katharine McPhee, David Foster, Selena Gomez's boyfriend Benny Blanco, Machine Gun Kelly, Gladys Knight, Diplo, Lenny Kravitz, Tim Malone, Don Lemon, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Jessica Betts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Mark Ronson, Babyface, Troye Sivan, Maluma and Meryl Streep.

Es ese momento del año otra vez ... La noche de los Grammys está a punto de comenzar y para prepararse tenemos un resumen con algunos de los mejores momentos de estos 66 años de historia de la ceremonia.

Ya se trate de Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift o Lionel Richie, los Premios Grammy están siempre llenos de un montón de estrellas, y más de unos cuantos momentos del tipo, "¿puedes creer lo que acaba de pasar?"

Nota importante para todas las estrellas en la noche de los Grammys, ¡recuerden llevar pantalones! Puede parecer un consejo obvio, pero al parecer nadie le dijo a Steve Martin o Jon Stewart lo importante que sería el vestuario.

Echa un vistazo, Steve Martin se bajó los pantalones en la 21ª edición de los Grammy en 1979, mientras que Stewart recreó el momento casi 25 años después, en 2002. ¡Bonitas piernas, chicos!

Madonna parecía una visión en rojo durante el acto de apertura en 1999, tocando "Nothing Really Matters" mientras el público miraba con asombro.

Y, ¿quién puede olvidar cuando Billie Eilish y su hermano Finneas necesitaron una maldita carretilla para llevar todos sus premios a casa? Billie se llevó cinco trofeos en 2020, y ni ella ni Finneas podían creerse lo que estaba pasando.

¿Y qué habría sido de los Grammy sin Britney Spears, quien lucía tan angelical en un vestido completamente blanco en la 42ª edición anual de los Grammy en 2000? Fue nominada a dos trofeos ese año, pero perdió en ambos. De hecho, pasaría media década antes de que finalmente consiguiera su primer, y único, Grammy.

Lo más importante, los Grammy son una fiesta, así que levantemos una copa con Queen Bey, Adele y el superagente Rich Paul y brindemos por la entrega de premios que comienza este domingo a las 5 PM PT solo en CBS.

It's that time of the year again ... Grammys night is almost upon us -- and we've got a recap of some of the best moments from the ceremony's 66-year history.

Whether it's Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, or Lionel Richie ... the Grammy Awards are always packed with tons of star power -- and more than a few "can you believe that just happened?" moments.

Big note to all stars on Grammys night ... remember to bring pants -- which may seem like an obvious piece of advice, but apparently no one told Steve Martin or Jon Stewart just how important wardrobe would be.

Check it out ... SM dropped trou at the 21st Grammys way back in 1979 while Stewart recreated the moment almost 25 years later in 2002. Nice legs, boys!

Madonna looked like a vision in red during the show's opening act in 1999 ... jamming "Nothing Really Matters" while the packed audience looked on in sheer wonder.

And, who can forget when Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas needed a damn wheelbarrow to haul all their trophies home??? Billie took home five trophies in 2020, and neither she nor Finneas could really believe what was happening.

Would it even be the Grammys without Britney Spears ... who looked so angelic in an all-white gown at the 42nd annual Grammys in 2000. She was nominated for two trophies that year, but lost on both. In fact, it would be half a decade before she finally got her first -- and only -- Grammy Award.

Most importantly, the Grammys are a party ... so let's raise a glass with Queen Bey, Adele, and superagent Rich Paul and toast to the awards show that's kicking off this Sunday at 5 PM PT only on CBS.

There's no doubt Trevor Noah's looks over the years deserve an award!

Here is a 30-year-old version of the comedic host looking dear and dapper at the Met Gala in New York City back in 2015 (left). This was the year he took over Jon Stewart's spot on "The Daily Show."

And, nearly a decade later good ole' Trev's darling dimples never looked better earlier this year, and his bow ties are still hittin' 😜 (right).

Tonight he will host the Grammy's for the fourth year in a row. Yes, he sure is lookin' fine at 39, but the question is ...

¡No hay duda de que los looks de Trevor Noah merecen un premio!

Aquí tenemos una versión de hace 30 años del presentador y comediante en la Gala Met de Nueva York allá por 2015 (izquierda). Ese fue el año en que ocupó el puesto de Jon Stewart en "The Daily Show".

Y, casi una década después, los queridos hoyuelos del bueno Trev nunca tuvieron mejor aspecto a principios de este año, y sus pajaritas siguen triunfando 😜 (derecha).

Esta noche será el anfitrión de los Grammy por cuarto año consecutivo. Sí, seguro que está guapísimo a sus 39 años, pero la pregunta es...

Behind this altered image are two highly accoladed stars who are set to take the stage at this year's Grammys, but it's been a hot minute since one of these singers released new music. You may need to "Turn The Lights Back On" to see them shine in the spotlight!

Yes, there's a 50+ year age gap between these two musicians, but with both of them being Grammy winners ... it came to no surprise their performance at Madison Square Garden was legendary!

Jay-Z held a pre-Grammy soiree Friday night ... bringing out a small contingent of big-name stars to party hard with the rap mogul, including Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim K and her sister, Khloe, arrived separately from Odell and the other celebs, namely Karrueche Tran, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, and Corey Gamble.

Jay-Z and Corey were filmed leaving The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood -- and everyone looked stunning, to say the least!

Kim looked hotter than ever -- decked out in her black leather ensemble.

We're told Kim quietly left the shindig later on, climbing into her blacked-out Range Rover parked near the garage.

Our sources tell us ... Kim's primary security guard was seen standing outside the SUV -- but the SKIMS magnate was never eyeballed while she was supposedly inside the vehicle. There was also some talk about Odell being inside the garage with Kim, but that's not confirmed.

Of course, this only fueled rumors that Kim and Odell might be more than just friends. You may recall, Kim sparked chatter among people that she was dating Odell when she showed up at his 31st birthday party last year. For now, though, it's all just speculation.

Back to Jay's celebration, everyone who attended seemed to have an awesome time as they geared up for the Grammys. The Grammys, of course, are Sunday and expected to showcase some iconic performances.

Jay-Z celebró una velada pre-Grammys el viernes por la noche, con un pequeño contingente de estrellas entre los asistentes, incluyendo Kim Kardashian y Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim K y su hermana Khloe llegaron por separado de Odell y las otras celebridades, entre ellas Karrueche Tran, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert y Corey Gamble.

¡Jay-Z y Corey fueron filmados saliendo de The Bird Streets Club en West Hollywood, y todos se veían impresionantes, por decir lo menos!

Kim parecía más sensual que nunca, ataviada en su conjunto de cuero negro.

Nos dicen que Kim se fue de la fiesta en silencio más tarde, subiéndose a su Range Rover negro aparcado cerca del garaje.

Nuestras fuentes también dicen que el guardia de seguridad principal de Kim fue visto de pie afuera de la SUV, pero la magnate de SKIMS no fue vista mientras supuestamente estaba en el interior del vehículo. También se habló de que Odell estuvo dentro del garaje con Kim, pero eso no está confirmado.

Por supuesto, esto solo alimentó los rumores de que Kim y Odell podrían ser algo más que amigos. Se acordarán de que ella levantó rumores de que estaban saliendo cuando apareció en su fiesta de cumpleaños 31 el año pasado. Por ahora, sin embargo, todo es solo especulación.

Volviendo a la celebración de Jay, parece que todos los asistentes lo pasaron increíble mientras se preparaban para los Grammy, que son el domingo y se espera que cuenten con algunas actuaciones icónicas.

Este es el fin de semana más caliente de la música y Donald Glover sabe una cosa o dos (o cinco) cuando se trata de llevarse a casa los Grammy, así que ahora depende de TI descubrir las discretas diferencias en estas dos imágenes ... ¡Ya lo tienes!

Glover estuvo en Nueva York haciendo prensa para su nueva serie "Sr. y Sra. Smith" a principios de esta semana. Sí, algunas cosas están algo raras con su atuendo, pero también es posible que quieras mirar alrededor 😜.

"¡Que no te pillen resbalando ahora!"

It's music's hottest weekend and Donald Glover knows a thing or two (or five) when it comes to taking home Grammys, so now it's on YOU to win over the discreet differences in these two shots of THE Childish Gambino ... You've got this!

Strapped and snug in head-to-toe swag -- Glover was out in NYC doing press for his new series "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" earlier this week. Yes, some things are amiss with his 'fit, but you may also want to scope out the background 😜.

"Don't catch you slippin' now!"

Preparations for Clive Davis' famed pre-Grammy party came to a grinding halt Thursday morning as cops busted an armed man at the Waldorf Astoria ... TMZ has learned.

The Waldorf is right next door to the Beverly Hilton -- where Clive's event is held -- and cops swarmed the area after getting a call shortly after 9:30 AM for a disturbance at the hotel. We're told a drone was deployed over the Waldorf, and spotted the gunman standing on a hotel room balcony.

Cops immediately shut down one of all traffic around the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevard -- one of L.A.'s busiest intersections -- and deployed SWAT officers around the hotels.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops made contact with the guy in his hotel room and convinced him to surrender peacefully -- but once inside, they discovered he had already shot up the room.

The man was actually firing the gun while police were outside the room ... according to witnesses at the hotel.

Once he was in custody, we're told the gunman was booked for felony possession of a firearm and negligent discharge of the firearm.

Our sources say the weapons was a handgun with an extended magazine.

Luckily, no one was injured at the hotel.

The area will be heavily trafficked by media and celebs leading up to Clive's party Saturday night -- attendees have to pick up credentials ahead of the event.

Los preparativos para la famosa fiesta antes de los Grammy de Clive Davis se detuvieron el jueves por la mañana cuando la policía detuvo a un hombre armado en el Waldorf Astoria, según ha averiguado TMZ.

El Waldorf está justo al lado del Beverly Hilton, donde se celebra el evento de Clive, y la policía rodeó la zona después de recibir una llamada poco después de las 9:30 AM por un disturbio en el hotel. Nos dicen que un avión no tripulado se desplegó sobre el Waldorf, y vio al pistolero de pie en un balcón de la habitación del hotel.

Los policías inmediatamente cerraron todo el tráfico alrededor de la intersección de Wilshire y Santa Monica Boulevard, una de las intersecciones más concurridas de Los Ángeles, y desplegaron oficiales SWAT alrededor de los hoteles.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que los policías hicieron contacto con el hombre en su habitación de hotel y lo convencieron de rendirse pacíficamente. Sin embargo, una vez dentro, descubrieron que ya había disparado en la habitación.

El hombre en realidad estaba disparando mientras la policía estaba afuera del cuarto, según cuentan testigos del hotel.

Una vez que estuvo bajo custodia, el pistolero fue fichado por delito grave de posesión de un arma de fuego y descarga negligente de dicha arma.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que el arma era una pistola con un cargador extendido.

Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido dentro del hotel.

La zona será muy concurrida el sábado por la noche, por los medios de comunicación y las celebridades que participarán en la fiesta de Clive. Los asistentes, además, tienen que recoger las credenciales antes del evento.

Taylor Swift is predicted to clean up at the Grammys Sunday night, but Mike WiLL Made-It is holding out hope Miley Cyrus can shake things up and snag a couple for him!!!

His buddy and longtime co-producer Pluss isn't as confident about Mike and Miley's prospects -- and says Taylor's planet-wide popularity will be tough to beat.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with both soundmen Wednesday at LAX, where Mike was holding out hope for Miley's latest album, "Endless Summer Vacation" -- he produced several of the tracks -- and it's nominated for 6 Grammys, including 2 for Album and Song of the Year.

Mike Will's been collaborating with Miley for a decade and thinks she has a real shot of doing some dominating of her own ... while Pluss thinks it's probably a long shot.

Pluss tells us the Swifty train has been running full steam ahead and he doesn't expect it to slow down on Grammy night, even if top-notch artists like Miley and SZA are snubbed.

Neither one of these guys seems heavily invested in putting Grammys on a pedestal, anyway.
