Sarah Hyland Busts Out The Little Cleavage

I don’t think Modern Family was nominated for any Golden Globes this year, which is nuts, because everyone who watches TV knows that Sofia Vergara has some of the best globes in the business. But the good news is they still invited her busty protege Sarah Hyland to show up — to the afterparties, at least. So here she is at the HBO party looking super-cute as usual, and if you ask me, that makes for a pretty good consolation prize. For us, at least. Photos: WENN.com

Justin Bieber, Rihanna And Others Tweet About Pre-Grammy Activities

Grammy-nominated stars tweet about bum-rushing theaters and getting freaked out by Sunday’s awards. By Mawuse Ziegbe Rihanna Photo: Getty Images The Grammys are going down Sunday night, but in the days beforehand, many of the stars up for hardware have been tweeting about their antics. Some missives were related to the big show, others were just in good, clean superstar fun. Cee Lo, who is up for four mini gramophones — including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Urban/Alternative Performance and Best Short Form Music Video — tweeted on Friday about getting a luxurious lift from one of his megastar pals in order to arrive at his destination in timely fashion. “Yo yall might not believe me but steven Spielberg is letting my use his private jet to get to san diego on time!” the Lady Killer wrote . “Its nice to have friends.” Grammy newbie Justin Bieber, who is in the running for two awards, including the coveted Best New Artist trophy, is also spending the weekend celebrating the release of his documentary, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.” The teen sensation also decided to add the element of surprise to his 3-D flick by dropping in on some lucky moviegoers. “About to surprise another theatre with the crew!!” he wrote . “U support us so we support u. Thank U! Let’s shock the world #NSN3D.” Indie darlings Arcade Fire also unleashed a surprise on their fans Friday night by playing a last-minute, 500-ticket secret show. The collective, which is up for trophies like Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals, worked well-worn hits and insta-classics and even got a legendary street artist to helm the wheels of steel, tweeting on Friday afternoon, “Shepard Fairey will be DJ’ing before set tonight in LA.” Rihanna, on the other hand, apparently spent her Saturday helming her own low-key shindig. The songstress, who will hit the stage and whose Eminem collabo “Love the Way You Lie” is vying for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song, replied to a fan who asked her what’s up, saying that she’s “just shakin my ass in the mirror.” The singer also conceded to some pre-show jitters. “I CAN’T STOP thinking about tomorrow!!!” she replied to another fan . “#AnxietyF——–!!!!!!!” Don’t miss “Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys,” a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com.

Eminem, Dr. Dre Grammy Performance To Show Razor-Sharp Rap Skills

Hip-hop superstars’ previous shows have created video sets and packed a lyrical punch. By Mawuse Ziegbe Eminem Photo: Getty Images When Eminem hits the stage, he rarely goes it alone, having already lit up Grammy night with pop luminaries like Elton John and hip-hop upstarts like Drake. This year, he’s taking it back to his hip-hop roots by teaming up with longtime mentor and rap legend Dr. Dre , with additional assistance from Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. Sunday’s performance promises to be a major hip-hop moment, as not only will Eminem rip the stage, but the set will mark Dre’s first live performance in more than 10 years (not counting his hysteria-inducing cameos at Shady and Jay-Z’s Home and Home Tour ). But what should fans expect from the Doc and Em’s first joint awards-show matchup in over a decade? Well, if we take cues from their onstage team-ups back in the day, we can expect the greats to school anyone who may have forgotten about their concert chemistry and serve up more of their renowned, top-flight lyricism. At the 1999 VMAs, a newbie Shady performed his debut smash “My Name Is” in a hoodie with “Role Model” splashed across the front in blinking lights. Midway through the track, Dre showed up to spar with Slim for the ethics-juggling hit “Guilty Conscience,” re-creating the bank-robbing scene from the track’s video. Then another chart-topping Dre prot

Justin Bieber Says He’s Not Just Some Industry ‘Packaged Thing’

‘I’ve been playing music ever since I was born and it’s always been in me,’ teen superstar tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Sway Calloway Justin Bieber Photo: Brian Phares/MTV News Justin Bieber will have his loyal fans and even his harshest critics saying “Never Say Never” when his 3-D flick opens on Friday. The movie offers an inside look at Bieber’s rise to stardom and the hard work and determination the teen star put in before hitting it big. For those who may not realize that Bieber is more than just a record label puppet created to pander to throngs of teenage girls, the film also shows that the 16-year-old is a skilled musician. “People didn’t really know,” he explained to MTV News. “They didn’t understand that I’ve been playing music ever since I was born and it’s always been in me. And this movie is really going to show that I’m not just some packaged thing that some A&R put together. It was actually just me living my dream and just making music.” He later joked that he also wasn’t molded in manager Scooter Braun’s basement. “Yeah, [he] just cut my hair like this [and made me what I am]!” At the New York screening for the film last week, Bieber spoke to us about what he hopes his fans will take away from the film. It is part concert film, part documentary, complete with interviews from some of the people closest to the teen phenom. It also features cameos by Miley Cyrus, Usher and Ludacris, to name a few, during concert performances filmed at Madison Square Garden last September, and interviews. In the film, Bieber is seen skillfully playing piano, drums and guitar. “Fans will be really excited to see that I’m just a regular 16-year-old having fun, just living my dream,” he said. “And it’s possible for anyone to live theirs.” Hot on the heels of his movie’s premiere, Bieber will be performing at Sunday’s Grammy Awards , where he promises “some surprises.” He’s been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album.

Grammy Awards Fashion: The Best, Worst And Gaga

We flip through some memorable looks before Sunday’s show, from glamorous Katy Perry to Rasta-inspired Christina Aguilera. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga at the 2010 Grammys Photo: Getty Images The Grammy Awards are nothing like the Oscars when it comes to fashion. The approach is less about what’s trendy or appropriate and more about a star’s own personal style. And that means there are always hits but many times there are misses and then, too, as we’ve learned, there’s the Gaga, who can’t be defined as good, bad or otherwise. So with the Grammy red carpet set to kick off Sunday night, MTV News takes a look back on the best and worst of Grammy fashion. The Best Keri Hilson brought the glamour last year in a nude-colored fishtail Dolce & Gabbana gown that showed off the singer’s feminine side
