• Grammys 2015 Album of the Year Nominees, Who Should Win & Who Will Win: Beyoncé, Beck & More Battle For Award

    The 57th Annual Grammy Awards hosted by LL Cool J will air live from the Los Angeles Staples Center this Sunday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. We've examined the biggest categories and have put in our two cents on who we think should win and who we think will win each award. Vote for your pick in the poll at the bottom of the page. Beyoncé's surprise self-titled album will be hard to beat. It was, in the truest sense, the most influential album of the year. The effort was unprecedented as far as marketing, promotion and the massive visual component that tied everything together. With no prior promotion, it sold more than 828,773 copies in the first three days, which is impressive in an era where streaming and piracy are killing sales of actual downloads.

    Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart stopped by The Tonight Show recently for a special Super Bowl edition. The comedians were promoting their new comedy Get Hard and pleasantly joking around with Jimmy Fallon before all three took part in an epic Lip Sync Battle.

  • 10 Super Bowl Halftime Show Stages: Ranking the Platforms of Madonna, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars and More

    The Super Bowl Halftime Show often benefits from a great performance onstage. Sometimes. But knowing the much of the audio is prerecorded kind of takes some of the fun out of it. That's why more often than not our final verdict on the big game's big entertainment (especially in recent years) had revolved more around the stage-show than the music itself. Nothing is more important to a stage-show than a stage. Music Times went back and checked out the last ten Super Bowl performers and more importantly, what they were playing on, and ranked them accordingly (including Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Madonna and more). This isn't a ranking of the performances, but of the platform that held it.

The English pop star is not only up for multiple awards at the Grammys -- including Album of the Year -- but will also be performing at the show, which airs Sunday, Feb. 8. Last year was huge for the singer, who conquered the charts with his debut "In the Lonely Hour" thanks largely to the standout single "Stay With Me." In a new interview with "Rolling Stone," Smith talks about comparisons to Adele, his sexuality and why he will give Beyoncé the Album of the Year Award if he wins.

  • John Oliver Auditions for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' in 'Last Week Tonight' Web Exclusive [WATCH]

    John Oliver is angry. The "Last Week Tonight" host started a hashtag after Jamie Dornan was announced as the male lead in the hotly anticipated film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," saying the actor "has all of the charisma of a sandwich bag filled with iceberg lettuce." The hashtag #NotMyChristian took off and now Oliver is back in a Web exclusive to hilariously audition for the part, despite the movie being completed.

  • No Offense to LL Cool J, but 5 Other Options for Grammy Hosting: Beyoncé, Steven Colbert, Blake Shelton and More

    Today the Recording Academy confirmed that LL Cool J will be the host at The Grammys when they go down on February 8. It was hardly a surprise to anyone who's paid attention in recent years: The emcee has hosted the event every year since 2012. That said, it's tough to blame the Academy and CBS for not wanting to shake things up: Although the performer will have now hosted 10 times, the recent results don't lie. The previous three years have featured, respectively, the no. 1, 3, and 2 highest viewerships since the '80s (the 2012 edition got a boost from those tuning in after Whitney Houston's death).
