Now he's really a legend
The really fun part of attending the Grammys was not the multiple awards he might win, said John Legend, but the chance to perform and collect a few congratulatory hugs from the ladies. ``Whatever awards come, they come,'' said Legend, looking sharp in a white suit as he arrived on the Grammy's green carpet. ``It's going to be a fun night either way.'' Legend, nominated for eight awards, said any attractive women thinking of giving him a hug shouldn't worry about sullying his suit. ``Some women are just worth it,'' he said. ``You hug 'em regardless. They might get your suit dirty, but it's worth it.''
Slipknot saves face
Slipknot saved face at the Grammy Awards -- arriving in their trademark masks to accept the award for best metal performance. ``Thanks to our fans, that's really what made us get here,'' said bassist Paul Grey, wearing shorts, a tie over his T-shirt and a Hannibal Lecter-style mask. ``I hope people use this [music] in a positive way to educate people who are paying attention,'' added his shirtless bandmate Sid Wilson, who spoke from beneath a fedora and from behind a frosted plastic mask. Although he was dressed in a bubble-gum pink jumpsuit and clown mask, Shawn ``Clown'' Crahan added a moment of solemnity to the affair when he choked up as he thanked his recently deceased father. Crahan also explained to reporters Slipknot's penchant for masks. ``This is our concept, our dream, our sacrifice, our religion,'' he said.
Love Hewitt takes it in her stride
It was just another day at the office, followed by a night at the Grammys, for actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was teaming up with the Black Eyed Peas to present the trophy for male R&B vocal. The actress said she arrived on the green carpet straight from the set of her TV show Ghost Whisperer, leaving in such a hurry that she didn't have time to remember the name of the designer dress she put on. ``I just left work,'' a sheepish Hewitt said. ``I know! I'm terrible.'' She wasn't sure if she would be up for partying after the awards show, either. ``I might go to one of the parties, but I have to be at work at 5:30 in the morning,'' she said. ``One day you retire, and you get a social life,'' Hewitt added. -- agencies
