Potential Grammys Shutdown Music To WGA's Ears

Red Carpet grammys.jpg First the Globes - now the Grammys?!?

Variety is reporting that the WGA won't grant a waiver for the music industry's awards show.

This means no celebrity presenters, no snappy scripted banter - heck, even the list of award recipients may be smaller than usual!

This year's Grammy nominees include several performers with extensive experience in films and TV; Variety singles out Justin Timberlake, Queen Latifah, Beyonce, Tim McGraw, T.I., Fantasia, and Jack White.

Furthermore, other nominees have historically shown reluctance to cross picket lines - meaning possibly no Bruce Springsteen, Beastie Boys, or Joni Mitchell either!

As for the performances - the real meat of any Grammys broadcast - Variety is less definite, noting only that "in some cases, managers have delayed accepting an invite to perform on the show until there is greater clarity."

Let's hope they get all this sorted out in time!



Hopefully we at least get to see the Oscars - but, then again, if the writers are going after the Grammys, no awards show is safe!

Many celebrities are interested in it. They are discussing it on millionairefriends.com. It's a dating site for celebrities and wealthy people.

Hey Anonymous:

Hi there, I'm a loser with no life. I'm paid $3.50 per hour to post idiotic drivel, directing you to some lame dating website that takes your money and gives you nothing in return. I have no job, so I sit around all day and post this garbage on as many websites as I can under many different aliases. I don't have any friends, so I must rely on these moronic posts to make myself feel better about myself. My mother hates me and dropped me on my head as a child. You can find me at I'mAnIdiotTrollWithNoLifeAndShouldBeKilled.com
I heard Jamie Lynn Spears met her older man, I mean match, at this site.

Richromances.com and all those other fucking dating sites that get spammed around here are all registered to this asshole. Du Qiang ecomfun@aol.com 800 West El Camino Real, #180 Mountain View, California 94040 United States 650-906-0405

Who cares. There's only like four people worth listening to anyway. They can mail them out and save us all a lot of boredom.

I'm glad all these awards shows are being cancelled. It's funny to watch the celebs get nervous when they don't have anyone to watch them prance down the red carpet! LOL! They have to find new ways to keep us interested in them! For most of them, that's a tough one. Most celebs don't have a darn thing to say that's worth a crap.
