Grammy Noms Announced with Concert

"Lollipop" star Lil Wayne topped the list of Grammy nominations this year. The 26-year-old received eight noms -- including album of the year for "Tha Carter III." The album was the only record this year to sell 1 million copies in its first week.

British rockers Coldplay were nominated a total of seven times. "Viva La Vida" is also in contention for album of the year. The title track became the band's first #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

The nominations were announced in a unique fashion this year, with artists like Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, John Mayer and B.B. King performing in a live concert interspersed with nomination announcements. The hour-long CBS concert special was hosted by LL Cool J and Taylor Swift.

The 51st Grammy Awards are scheduled to air Feb. 8 on CBS.

katie, i’m with you! i’m happy for brit though that she’s off drugs and alcohol and getting her life back together because her babies need her. that said ia appreciate what brad is doing to help the people of nola after the hurricaine…but i’m not impressed or interested in him and or angie as a couple and i won’t even go see a movie with her in it. i’m married (30 yrs) and i trust my husband but angie said she would never come between a couple because it happened to her when she was a child? but it just happened to happen with bbt AND brad. i’m sorry but if you know a man is married and you’re a single woman then you get the hell out of there. brad played a part but i blame HER. she was single and should have been trolling where the men did not have wedding bands.

Theres TOO MUCH coverage of Britney,and Brad&Angie,Paris Hilton,Linsey Lohan.PLEASE with All there hollywood movie/tv stars and Musicstars Out there, PLEASE cover and show other celeberties in 2009 and LESS of Brad/Angie, Paris,Linsey,and Britney PLEASE.Im So sick of seen thoses 5 faces on these different entertment shows Every weekday and on People and Us and gossip magazines in the grogercy stores.Give some attention to other actors and to musicians who can Actually sing,cause Britney, Paris and Linsey Lohan are 3 of the WORST singers ever and are mainly getting attention cause they sometimes hang out together and get blasted when drinking with popperwatzie following them to nightclubs and everywhere else, and also less coveage on brad/angie cause why should we want to hear about a couple who came together when doing a movie together a& he cheated on his wife and espically after he waitted so long to get married in the first place,it just shows that all men are pigs and dont think of how they are hurting and angie in a way in this generation’s Elizbeth Taylor with ALL the ladies who were in the relationship with the guy before her that she destoryed in the relationships she was in like Billy Bob one before being with Brad.,cause they both had a lady before angie and with them both doing a movie with her,She manages to in some way DESTORY the relationship and then gets the guy. So for that reason, THERE should be NO MORE coverage of Brad/Angie,and the others besides having Too much Already this yr alone.
