Eminem & Lady Antebellum Lead This Year's Grammy Nomination

This year, the Grammy Awards are spreading the wealth.

Fronting a diverse array of nominees, rapper Eminem led the pack with a total 10 Grammy nominations, including nods in major categories like Album of the Year and Record of the Year, it was announced Wednesday night.

Not far behind: Bruno Mars, who nabbed seven nominations, including several as a songwriter, while Lady Gaga and country trio Lady Antebellum each earned six nominations, including an Album of the Year nod for their stirring single "Need You Now."

Many of the major nominations were announced live on CBS during an hour-long concert special hosted by LL Cool J from L.A.'s Club Nokia, which featured performances by Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Miranda Lambert.

Album of the Year nominations were awarded to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, Eminem's Recovery, Lady Antebellum's Need You Now, Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.

An enthused Perry, who opened the concert special with a performance of her hit "California Gurls," raved: "It's like no other award show because I feel like you're being recognized by your peers."

In another major category, Record of the Year, nominees were: B.o.B. ("Nothin' on You"), Eminem (featuring Rihanna) ("Love the Way You Lie"), Cee-Lo Green ("F–– You"), Jay-Z & Alicia Keys ("Empire State of Mind") and Lady Antebellum ("Need You Now").

Meanwhile, Best New Artist nods crossed genres and went to Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & the Machine, Mumford and Sons and Esperanza Spalding.

"Wow, it feels amazing. I can't believe I'm in this position," an overwhelmed Bieber said, live via satellite from London, after the news was announced. "I don't think of myself as a superstar. I think of myself as a normal person living my dream."

Selena Gomez and Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl announced nominees for Song of the Year, an award which is given to the songwriter. The five nominees were Cee-Lo Green for "F––– You," Ray Lamontagne for "Beg Steal Or Borrow," Lady Antebellum for "Need You Now," Eminem for "Love the Way You Lie" and Miranda Lambert for "The House That Built Me."

Other key nominees include the cast of Glee, which earned two nominations, as did Bieber. Perry and Rihanna walked away with four nods, while Beyoncé earned two.

The 53rd annual Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from Los Angeles's Staples Center on February 13th.

Close behind, Tween star Justin Bieber earned four nods – while B.o.B., Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Usher received three nominations. And Taylor Swift was nominated in the country favorite female category.

A lively telecast, this year's AMAs, which will be broadcast from L.A.'s Nokia Theater on Nov. 21 (8 p.m. ET), will feature performances by nominee Usher, Pink and Bon Jovi, with more performers and presenters to be reveled in the coming weeks.

For the fourth year, fans can determine the winners, voting for their favorites on the show's official website. You can also review the list of nominees on their website.

Lady Gaga Sings for Cher (and Her Fans) at the MTV Video Music Awards

Lady Gaga had a reason to sing at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards.

The pop star, nominated for a record-setting 13 trophies, took home top honors, winning video of the year for "Bad Romance" – and seized the opportunity to trill for Cher, who presented her with the Moonman trophy.

"I never thought I'd be asking Cher to hold my meat purse," a tearful Gaga said at the podium in a bacon-colored outfit.

"I promised that if I won this tonight, I'd announce the name of my new record," she said. After exhaling, Gaga revealed it is titled Born This Way. Then, she belted out a refrain as Cher looked on. "God makes no mistakes," she sang. "I'm on the right track baby. I was born this way."

Throughout the night, Gaga turned the ceremony, live from L.A.'s Nokia Theater, into her very own fashion show, at one point noting that she wasn't prepared for all her acceptance speeches.

"This outfit's too heavy to walk in," she said while accepting best pop video. "I apologize if I'm a little slow this evening."

Chelsea's Party

Gaga got a lively welcome from show host Chelsea Handler, who poked fun at the pop star's penchant for outrageous outfits. Taking the stage to "Bad Romance" in a tattered, glittery skirt and face-obscuring hat that resembled an over-sized house, Handler earned laughs as she skewered celebrities in her monologue.

Some, like Lindsay Lohan, were happy to laugh at themselves. The starlet, who recently left jail and a court-ordered rehab, appeared at the start of the show in pre-recorded sketch.

Joshing about Handler's love of drinking – the E! host frequently jokes about her taste for vodka – Lohan teased, "Pull it together! Do you think anyone wants to work with a drunk? Take it from me!"

And the winners are...

Best Dance Video: Lady Gaga, “Bad Romance”
Best Collaboration: Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce, “Telephone”
Best Female Video: Lady Gaga, “Bad Romance”
Best Rock Video: 30 Seconds to Mars, “Kings and Queens”
Best Male Video: Eminem, “Not Afraid”
Best Pop Video: Lady Gaga, “Bad Romance”
Best Hip Hop Video: Eminem, “Not Afraid”
Best New Artist: Justin Bieber
Video of the Year: Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance"

Performance Heavy Night

While many awards were handed out, it was performances that dominated the evening.

Two-time winner Eminem kicked off the show with "Not Afraid," backed by a drum corps and string section. He was soon joined by a flame-haired Rihanna, who teamed up with him on "Love the Way You Lie."

Taylor Swift and Kanye West, both the subject of much buzz given last year's antics, also performed separate blistering songs.

And to the delight of screaming female fans, best new artist winner Justin Bieber performed "Baby" outside the Nokia Theater, backed by a team of syncopated dancers.

Beyoncé Shares VMA Moment with Taylor Swift

After Kanye West cut off best female video winner Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards in New York on Sunday, the night’s top winner came to her rescue.

While accepting the Moonman for video of the year, Beyoncé Knowles invited Swift onto the stage so she could finish her speech, which West interrupted when she beat out Knowles on the night's first category.

"This is amazing," Knowles said. "I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment."

A smiling Swift came out and said, "Maybe we can try this again." She continued, thanking "all my fans on Twitter and MySpace and everyone who came out to my shows this summer."

The two winners, both in bright red dresses, hugged and left the stage together.

"It was so wonderful and gracious of her," Swift told reporters after the show. "She's always been a great person and I thought I couldn't love Beyoncé more and tonight happened and it was just wonderful."

While mentions of Kanye, who was not seen after the Swift incident, drew boos throughout the evening there were still plenty of positive notes. Some of the night's big winners included:

Best Rock Video: "21 Guns," Green Day. The band rocked out with fans during their subsequent performance, inviting dozens of audience members on stage with them.

Best Pop Video: Britney Spears's "Womanizer." The pop princess was on tour and, in a remotely video-taped acceptance speech, showed off a rockin' body reminiscent of the 2000 VMAs, when she stunned the crowd in a nude-colored bodysuit.

Best Male Video: T.I.'s "Live Your Life." T.I., who was also unable to accept his award – in this case, because he is serving a prison term.

Best Hip Hop Video: Eminem's "We Made You." The Detroit rapper modestly accepted his Moonman and thanked fans "for sticking by me."

Best New Artist: Lady Gaga, whose pa-pa-pa-pa-poker face was barely visible behind a bizarre lacy red mask. But as she accepted her Moonman, the pop star removed the accessory to thank her fans, and said her award was "for God, and for the gays."

Let's not forget surprise guest Madonna opened the show with a heartfelt tribute to Michael Jackson in which she called him, "so unique, so original, so rare. He was a king." And, Madonna added, he's got a loyal following of royal subjects.

"My sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with [him]. There's a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house."

After Madonna's speech, Janet Jackson took the stage at the end of a Michael Jackson medley. Performing in front of the"Scream" video that featured her and Michael, Janet channeled her late brother with his world-famous dance moves.

Eminem Admits: I Was Involved in Brüno Stunt

Three days after storming out of the MTV Movie Awards, Eminem is setting the record straight about what exactly happened that night between him and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen: It was all a gag.

"I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it," the rapper, 36, tells RapRadar about his altercation with the actor, who was dressed as his flamboyant character Brüno. "It had so many people going 'nuts' so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it."

Eminem walked out of the awards show on Sunday after Cohen – as Brüno dressed in wings and a thong – landed face down in his lap. Reps for MTV, Cohen and Eminem had no comment at the time on whether or not the act was planned.

So how exactly did the two brainstorm the stunt?

"Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards," says Eminem. "I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag."

Eminem has had altercations in the past – including a scuffle with the puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002. But at this year's Movie Awards, the rapper was merely playing off his image as a tough guy.

"After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours," he adds. "Especially after I saw it on air."

Eminem Storms Out of MTV Movie Awards

Eminem returned to the spotlight Sunday, spitting the lyrics of his name-dropping single "We Made You" and "Crack A Bottle" from his hit album Relapse at the MTV Movie Awards. But not long after his performance, he stormed away from his seat at the auditorium when Sacha Baron Cohen, in a barely-visibly thong as his flamboyant character Brüno, descended like an angel and landed face down in the rapper's lap.

Bruno And Eminem Get Intimate - MTV Movie Awards

The body guards pounced and Eminem's entourage made its exit in what was the most outrageous moment on a night of irreverence that included host Andy Samberg spoofing box office hits like Slumdog Millionaire (which was nominated six times but came up empty handed) and Star Trek, an absent Amy Poehler accepting the Golden Popcorn trophy for the best "WTF moment" and Forest Whitaker singing an operatic rendition of Samberg's Emmy Award winning song "D– in a Box."

But the night belonged to the film sensation Twilight, which picked up five awards, including the top prize for best movie.

After Shia LaBeouf handed out the best fight award to its stars Robert Pattinson and Cam Gigandet for their tussle in the vampire movie, Pattinson also picked up the award for the best breakthrough performance by a male. Later, he and costar Kristen Stewart teased the crowd by nearly reenacting the kiss between their characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan while accepting the award for best buss.

Stewart also won the prize for best female performance. "I was just about as awkward as you thought I was going to be," the flustered star said at the podium.

Other winners included High School Musical 3: Senior Year's Ashley Tisdale, who won in the female breakthrough performance category while her costar Zac Efron won for best male performance. Jim Carey won for best comedic performance for his role in Yes Man and Heath Ledger was posthumously honored for his legendary performance in The Dark Knight.

The best song from a movie went to Miley Cyrus for "The Climb," which was featured in Hannah Montana: The Movie.

Efron, Kiefer Sutherland and Triumph the Insult Dog presented former MTV Movie Awards host Ben Stiller with the MTV Generation Award, honoring the actor for a career of "selling out box offices without selling out."

Eminem Spares No Celeb in New Video

Celebrities beware: Eminem is back and he's got more bite than ever.

In the first video from his upcoming album, Relapse, the rapper fires away mercilessly at celebrity culture, targeting a list of tabloid faves including Bret Michaels, Jessica Simpson, Sarah Palin, Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse.

A blond-wig wearing Eminem, in the guise of Rock of Love's Michaels, opens the "We Made You," video, which premiered on MTV Tuesday morning, and so begins a romp through pop culture that offers a portly Simpson look-a-like gyrating in Daisy Dukes; a Palin clone laying prone on a desk in a bustier as a polar bear and Eskimo dance nearby; and Kardashian meeting a Fargo-like fate in a wood chipper (which converts her to cash).

Ripping into his rap, he sings: "Back by popular demand/ Now pop a little Zantac/ Or antacid if you can/ You're ready to tackle any task that is at hand/ How does it feel? Is it fantastic, is it grand?"

"There's some celebrity bashing in it," Eminem admitted in a clip from the set, according to MTV News. "I wanna say it's not necessarily intentional bashing in it; it's not necessarily taking deliberate shots at people. ... Yes, it is. What the f--- am I talking about?"

The erstwhile Slim Shady plays a host of characters in the video (his first solo effort since 2003) including Simpson beau Tony Romo, Jailhouse Rock Elvis, a soulful John Mayer romancing Jennifer Aniston, a bare-chested lumberjack seducing Palin, Winehouse's estranged ex Blake Fielder-Civil, Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man character (with a Dr. Dre cameo in Tom Cruise's role) and, in a series of Star Trek-inspired clips, a Vulcan-death-grip-wielding Mr. Spock.

Relapse, Eminen's first studio album since 2004's Encore, is due out May 19.
