Setting aside shaky performances and questionable red carpet fashion at this year's Grammy Awards, we were thrilled to see some of our favorite artists take home prizes in some of the top categories.

Sam Smith took home the awards for Song of the Year, Record Of The Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album while Pharrell Williams nabbed the awards for Best Music Video, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album. Interestingly enough, it was Beck who took home Album of the year, beating out Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Smith and Williams.

Beyonce had six nominations, which made her the most Grammy-nominated female in history, but she only took home prizes for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

Kanye West's Grammy Performance Is An Autotuned Mess, But Madonna's Set More Than Makes Up For It

Posted on Sun Feb 8th, 2015 7:59pm PDT       By X17 Staff


From the red velour jumpsuit to the autotune, Kanye West's performance at the 2015 Grammys was terrible!

This is the first time West has performed at the Grammys in six years, and it honestly seems like he's lost his touch. We get that the song "Only One" is a tribute to his late mother Donda and his darling daughter North, but we just can't get into this. Hopefully his next performance with Rihanna and Paul McCartney will be better!

So who didn't suck? Madonna! The queen of pop performed "Living for Love" in a sexy red and black Givenchy number, and from the dancers to the visuals on the screen, we were totally into her set. Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj introduced Madge, with Miley jokingly calling the pop icon a "b*tch." Make that one bad b*tch who's still got it!



Who else stole the show? The Voice co-stars Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine teamed up to sing the Maroon Five hit, "My Heart Is Open," but as far as we're concerned, this video is just as good on mute -- Gwen looks AMAZING!

Between the boobs and the sparkles, Kanye West is the last thing we're looking at in the pic above!

Kim Kardashian and her rapper hubby hit the red carpet for the 2015 Grammys on Sunday night, and while the sex tape star nearly bared all in a shimmery Jean Paul Gaultier dress, she wasn't the only one to flash some cleavage on the red carpet! Nicki Minaj worked it in a black Tom Ford dress, and interestingly enough, she borrowed Kim's makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli for the evening!

As much as we rag on Kim for uh, exposing her vagina on the worldwide web, we gotta say, we LOVE her new haircut. And maybe if her outfit offered a little bit more coverage, we'd put her near the top of the Grammys best dressed list...

From cleavage to pops of color, the red carpet at the 2015 Grammys was quite exciting!

Rihanna will perform her new single "FourFiveSeconds" this evening, and we're thinking she's going to want to change out of this poufy Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress before she takes the stage. She may not have been the best dressed, but she's already off to a great start, as she won the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her song "The Monster" with Eminem.

Beyonce, who is tied for the most nominations this evening, already won the awards for Best R&B Song for “Drunk in Love” and Best Surround Sound Album, and she worked it on the red carpet in a Proenza Schouler dress that left little to the imagination. Queen Bey is set to perform with John Legend and Common, so we can't wait to see her take the stage for that!

Everyone has been buzzing about Taylor Swift's Elie Saab gown, and while she's not performing she did get rather excited and start dancing at the beginning of the show. Of course, there's a video of it, and not only are we cringing at her awesomely bad moves, but Pharrell Williams is TOTALLY judging her:

 

Miley Cyrus And Boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger Have A Blast At Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Bash

Not only does Miley Cyrus clean up well, but we love how happy she looks with boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger!

On Saturday night the lovebirds attended Clive Davis' fancy pre-Grammy bash at the Beverly Hilton, and they were inseparable for most of the evening. With her beau close by, Miley goofed around with Rita Ora and Jamie Foxx, and other guests included Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea and Chris Brown, with Sam Smith, John Legend, Pharrell Williams, Jennifer Hudson and the Bee Gees among the many performers.

Magic Johnson was there as well, and when he spoke to the crowd, he asked for a moment of silence for Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is still currently on life support after being discovered face down in her bathtub a week ago. Davis, Sony Music Entertainment's chief creative officer, has hosted the party for 39 years, and he was very close with Brown's mother, the late great Whitney Houston.

 

Big Stars Flock To Big Sean's Pre-Grammy Concert

After the Roc Nation brunch on Saturday, Big Sean performed at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, and it seems like the crowd for that event was even more star-studded! Justin Bieber was there, along with Chris Brown, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez and yup, even Yeezy. J. Lo posted the pic above and wrote, "After the show... This happened #houseofblues #bigSean."

Big Sean performed several old hits and then debuted his new song "Stay Down," and after getting a few pals to join him onstage, Kanye appeared and the boys performed the "I Don’t Like" remix along with "Blessings." Of course, there was some sort of a tech issue, so Kanye took the high road and screamed "Unprofesessional!" in the middle of the set.

In other news, why was Kylie sporting dreads? Turns out she had some sort of high fashion shoot in the desert earlier. Hey, at least she kept her clothes on! Well, sorta:


But can we talk about Chris' hair? We love that he's hanging with fans, but this hue is his worst yet!

Kim Kardashian tried to steal the show at the Roc Nation pre-Grammy brunch in Beverly Hills on Saturday, but she had to compete with a smokin' hot Rihanna -- AND Beyonce!

Kim showed off her shorter hair and rocked a revealing red top and skirt combo, and she posted a photo on Instagram of Kanye West's new Yeezus 3 sneakers, which she handed out to guests at the bash. "Yeezy put me in charge of the fam distribution #YeezyBoost #AdidasOriginals #ThisFirstRunIsAsizeTooBig #WifeLife #WifeGotThatWork." At least she did something useful!

Jay Z and Kanye sipped on cocktails and posed for a few photos together, and Beyonce also made the rounds, along with Bad Gal RiRi, who gave both Kim and Bey a run for their money with her sexy Altuzarra getup...

 

Police Examine Bruce Jenner's Phone Records To See If He Was Texting When Fatal Car Crash Occurred

Posted on Sun Feb 8th, 2015 8:51am PDT       By X17 Staff

Bruce Jenner was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu yesterday that left one woman dead, and while he passed a field sobriety test, police will be checking to make sure he wasn't texting at the time the fatal crash occurred.

A woman in a white Lexus sedan was coming to a stop at a red light when Bruce rear-ended her in his black Cadillac SUV, at which point she was pushed into oncoming traffic and struck by a black Hummer. Police have determined that Bruce was not speeding, but Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Lecrivain did note that there is no evidence that Bruce was being chased by paparazzi.

Lecrivain added, "There was a possibility that paparazzi was following him at the time of the crash, but that is a very regular occurrence, and (there is) no indication at this time it was a contributing factor of the crash." At the time of the horrific accident, Jenner family sources told TMZ Bruce was being chased by as many as 5 photographers.

Sheriff Commander Michael Parker said investigators are now trying to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash, The L.A. County Sheriff's Department will get a search warrant for both Jenner's phone records and the phone itself. It is illegal to text and drive in California, and a few photographs show Jenner with his hand raised while behind the wheel, so it's not clear whether what he was doing at the time of impact.

Seven victims were taken to the hospital following the crash, and Bruce was escorted to the station in a cruiser, though he was released shortly afterwards.
