Robert Plant And Alison Krauss Win Grammy Album Of The Year
Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.

"I'm bewildered," Robert Plant said onstage as he accepted the Grammy Album of the Year award with Alison Krauss on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday."
He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because Raising Sand, which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect Grammy album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.
You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his Led Zeppelin days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history.
Really, she's the key to Sand's success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, Sand was released.
And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain.
And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on Sand. His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified.
To date, Sand has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album.
"At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really good record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards."

'Glee' Super Bowl Episode To Feature Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'
Entertainment Weekly reports the MJ classic will be mashed up with a yet-to-be-chosen song.

After a string of high-profile guest stars and theme episodes, "Glee" will reportedly take on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" next in a mash-up with a yet-to-be-chosen song for the show's post-Super Bowl episode, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The episode, which will be co-sponsored by General Motors, is said to be the most expensive of the series' history and likely one of television's priciest episodes ever. Despite the cast's "Thriller" mash-up, the broadcast will not serve as a tribute episode to the late King of Pop, but will feature contemporary covers of the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum and Katy Perry.
As for how Jackson's song will be incorporated into the show, the EW source revealed that the episode will have a sports theme by focusing on the local football championship and Sue Sylvester's cheerleading regionals. The "Thriller" mash-up is expected to play onscreen during the game's halftime.
In addition to the timeless tune, Darren Criss and Dot-Marie Jones will reprise their roles as Blaine and Coach Beiste for the big time production.
Earlier this year, rumors swirled about who the post-Super Bowl episode would pay homage to, including Bruce Springsteen. However, the source admitted that the only star considered for the episode was Elton John. Gleeks can expect a tribute episode for John as one of the season's remaining episodes.
Back in August, "Glee" star Lea Michele shared her idea for the episode. "I think they are saving Justin Timberlake for the Super Bowl episode," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "They have to be, because he is so perfect for our show. He has to be on it! When I met Jessica Biel, like a loser, I asked her to tell Justin to come on our show. [Laughs.] She was a little taken aback and said, 'Um, OK. I'll tell him.' "

Lance Bass: Justin Timberlake's Too Busy for an *NSYNC Reunion
Beloved boy bands New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys have teamed up to form a nostalgic heartthrob super group called NKOTBSB. But after their debut performance at the American Music Awards earlier this week, fans of another pop group are getting a little jealous.
So, when can we expect an *NSYNC comeback?
"Justin's very busy with his acting career right now, so I think it's going to be quite a while before we even think about doing anything," Bass said. This year alone, Timberlake has starred in two films, including the critically acclaimed The Social Network, which earned him early Oscar buzz.
Okay, so Timberlake may be a little too cool for a boy-band reunion. But that doesn't mean Bass and his fellow *NSYNC-ers (JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone) couldn't go it alone! "I love being on the stage," Bass told E! "So yeah, anytime the guys would want to do an album, I'm in!"
While fans eagerly wait to see if another *NSYNC tour or album ever happens (or a new Timberlake solo album, for that matter), Rolling Stone had their own ideas on how the group could still have their own comeback, despite the circumstances. BSB is going on with their tour, even with founding member Kevin Richardson opting out. But, could a non-Timberlake *NSYNC tour work?
RS theorizes that the guys could be successful on their own. In fact, they may even be able to change Timberlake's mind. "Maybe when he sees how easily his former group starts raking in money he'll be down for a handful of shows," the magazine said.
While the band would surely take a hit from the absence of their most swoon-worthy member, we're guessing there are still a few die-hard fans who would pay big bucks to hear "Bye Bye Bye" one more time.

Taylor Momsen Suspended from 'Gossip Girl'?
Here's some juicy gossip: Taylor Momsen may be getting the (temporary) boot from the folks at Gossip Girl!
Deadline.com reports that the increasingly troublesome Momsen (who recently flashed fans during a performance with her band, Pretty Reckless) "will begin an indefinite hiatus following next Monday's episode."
While reps for CW and a producer at Warner Bros. declined to confirm or deny the news, a source spills that Momsen (who plays Jenny, the younger sister to Penn Badgley's Dan Humphrey) won't be seen in at least four episodes, including the show's mid-season finale on Dec. 6.
In fact, the 17-year-old has only appeared in three episodes so far this season, and the reported decision to switch her from series regular to occasional character comes as no surprise. Her controversial behavior -- including joking about having sex with a priest and telling Revolver readers she watches pornography -- has landed her in the headlines recently. And, apparently, she's not behaving any better on set.
"She only does (the show) for the money," a GG source tells USMagazine.com. "She works hard on Gossip Girl but doesn't care about the plot or the other cast members. She treats it like a 9-5. No emotional investment."
And her attitude about the show left a sour taste in guest star Tim Gunn's mouth. The Project Runway star griped about the mascara-loving teen to E! in September. "What a diva! She was pathetic, she couldn't remember her lines, and she didn't even have that many," he said. "I thought to myself, 'Why are we all being held hostage by this brat?'"
Looks like the cast and crew may not be held hostage much longer!

MTV Does Positive Reality TV
Where did the music go on MTV? Maybe it's moved over to VH-1. In an effort to combat declining ratings, MTV has announced plans to develop 16 reality TV shows over the next four months.
In case you forgot, MTV pioneered the reality TV trend with the show The Real World in 1992 (long before Survivor, which first aired in 2000). Now MTV is leading to another shift- away from the backbiting drama that most reality TV is known for these days.
'Our new shows will feature themes of affirmation and accomplishment,' says Brian Graden, prez of entertainment at MTV Networks music channels and president of Logo. 'Our shows are going to focus less on loud and silly hooks and more on young people proving themselves.'"

Tom Cruise Is Immune To The Criticism
"I've heard so many things, going back to 'Top Gun' and 'Rain Man' and 'Born on the Fourth of July' - 'He's not going to make another movie', 'He's just a teen idol', 'It's going to destroy his career'. People are going to say whatever they're going to say. I've read it and seen it all before. That's just the way it is. What are you going to do?"All I can think about is making the movie at hand and doing the best I can and enjoying it."That's a great attitude, though I'm ignoring the critics is easier said than done.Tom also mentions that Knight and Day was a particularly challenging movie to work on.
"It requires a tremendous amount of skill. You have comedy, drama and action and it's very dynamic so it's actually four times the workload. Action movies are difficult and this has everything I love in movies. We did everything we could to make it non-stop, unpredictable fun."I wonder if critics will end up praising Tom for Knight and Day. What do you think, will his acting chops show through in this one?

Ke$ha Is A 'Cannibal' On Her New Track
Singer plays a maneater on title track from Cannibal.

Ke$ha's forthcoming release Cannibal seems to have the singer on a similar path to the one she's been dancing down during her breakout 2010. In "We R Who We R," she tells her fans to let their freak flags fly. In "Sleazy," she critiques the techniques of a potential lover. And in the grimy, just-leaked title track, she sings about being a maneater.
"Cannibal" has grinding beats and dark synths, as well as a bit of yodeling. And in the lyrics, Ke$ha boasts about her maneater tendencies: "I'm gonna eat you, fool/ I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch/ Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood," she sings before the chorus, on which she screeches, "I am a cannibal."
The song opens with Ke$ha swearing that she has a sweet side: "I have a heart/ I swear I do," she sings. But it quickly gets bloodthirsty, and at one point, Ke$ha even drops a serial-killer reference: "Whenever you tell me I'm pretty/That's when the hunger really hits me/Your little heart goes pitter patter/I want your liver on a platter/Use your finger to stir my tea/And for dessert I'll suck your teeth/Be too sweet and you'll be a goner/Yeah, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer."
"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," she said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."
What do you think of Ke$ha's new song? Let us know in the comments!
