Gabriel Aubry: Dissed by Frightened Daughter
This does NOT bode well for Gabriel Aubry.
Following that model's alleged shoving of his nanny, Aubry and Halle Berry continue to meet inside Los Angeles courtrooms in order to determine the former's custody over three-year daughter Nahla.
According to TMZ sources, the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services is conducting an investigation into multiple claims against Aubry - all of which cite his temper, especially around his child - and actually interviewed Nahla as part of the process.
The tyke reportedly told DCFS representatives that, due to her dad's bouts of screaming, she has often been frightened around him.
Chipotle Grammy Commercial: Back to the Start
And the award for best Grammy performance goes to... Chipotle?!?
The Mexican restaurant practically stole the awards show last night, airing a two-minute-and-twenty-second act that put all lame Super Bowl commercials this year to shame.
Set to Willie Nelson, the action here flows across the screen, taking viewers on a trip along with a farmer and some pigs, as their peaceful, countryside setting gives way to an animal warehouse and, eventually, a mechanized distribution system. Yes, it's a commentary on the modern industrial food chain.
Cultivate a better world, the spot encourages at the end. Are we more likely to dine at Chipotle as a result? Who knows. But consider us impressed with the effort...
Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: LL Cool J vs. Bruno Mars
Two of the slickest superstars on the planet are pitted against each other in this Fashion Face-Off.
First, we have LL Cool J, the host of the 2012 Grammy Awards, who had the unenviable task last night of MCing an event over which a pall had been cast, due to Whitney Houston's tragic death. But the actor/rapper kicked off the ceremony with a prayer and handled his duties as well as could be expected.
His competition? Bruno Mars, producer/performer extraordinaire, and possibly the most talented man in the music business today.
Compare. Contrast. And vote between these icons below:
Glen Campbell Earns Lifetime Achievement Award, Standing Ovation
The Grammy Awards really tested the tear ducts of its viewers last night.
We had Adele return from throat surgery to belt out a version of "Rolling in the Deep;" Jennifer Hudson honor Whitney Houston with a pitch perfect rendition of "I Will Always Love You;" and Blake Shelton team with The Band Perry to pay tribute to Glen Campbell.
The country music legend was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last summer, but that didn't prevent him from taking the stage and performing "Rhinestone Cowboy," a performance that brought all attendees to their feet, most notably Paul McCartney, who the camera caught numerous times singing and dancing to the artist.
Watch Campbell and company in action now:
Grammy Awards Fashion Face-Off: Paris Hilton vs. Rebecca Black

As for the top performances of the night? Nicki Minaj caused controversy; Katy Perry may have dissed Russell Brand; Adele received a standing ovation; and, of course, Jennifer Hudson paid very emotional tribute to Whitney Houston.

Whitney Houston Cause of Death: Prescription Drugs and Alcohol, Family Told
The official results of an autopsy performed on Whitney Houston yesterday will not be released for weeks.
But sources tell TMZ the family of this legend has been informed by the coroner's office that Houston died from a lethal mixture of prescription pills, most notably Xanax, and alcohol.
As previously confirmed, Houston was found unresponsive in her hotel room bathtub on Saturday afternoon and new reports identity the singer's aunt, Mary Jones, as the individual who found her there and administered CPR on the bathroom floor.
However, officials have told the family Whitney likely died prior to being submerged, as there was not enough water in the artist's lungs to cite drowning as the cause of death.
At last night's Grammy Awards, meanwhile, host LL Cool J led the audience in a prayer for Houston, while Jennifer Hudson later paid emotional tribute to the icon via a rendition of "I Will Always Love You."
Bobbi Kristina Brown: Out of Hospital, Not Out of Danger
We have an update on Bobbi Kristina Brown.
The 18-year old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, who was rushed to the hospital for two separate anxiety attacks since her mother passed away Saturday afternoon, is no longer under doctor's care.
But her family is still concerned about the teenager's well-being and is considering some kind of professional treatment for her.
In an eerie, frightening report, TMZ quotes insiders who say Bobbi was found asleep in a hotel room bathtub on Friday afternoon, the same position paramedics found Whitney in the following day.
After repeated, unanswered knocks from Bobbi's friends, security arrived, unlocked the door and helped fish the troubled young woman out of the tub.
It's unknown what caused that incident, but family members are, understandably, even more worried about Bobbi's current state of mind and fear she may be suicidal. As they ponder the next best step, Bobby Brown left a concert in Nashville over the weekend and landed in Los Angeles last night to be there for his daughter.
"Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her; however, we will get through this tragedy as a family," the singer said in a statement to Extra. "Again, I ask for privacy during this time.
Nicki Minaj Grammy Performance: Confessions and Controversy
Did Nicki Minaj take her act too far at last night's Grammy Awards?
Never one to shy away from controversy, the 29-year old rapper kicked off a rendition of "Roman Holiday" by confessing to a fake priest. She then proceeded to put on a show that featured pyrotechnics, backup dancers dressed as monks and a great deal of religious imagery.
Adele, standing alone at a microphone and simply singing, it was not.
Minaj also walked the red carpet, prior to the ceremony, with a guy dressed like The Pope. Fun and different? Or offensive and different? Watch the singer get exorcised on stage now and then decide:
We can expect a statement from the Catholic League to be released at any moment...
Taylor Swift Gets "Mean" at 2012 Grammy Awards
What would a music awards ceremony be without the fun presence of Taylor Swift?
At the 2012 Grammys, this fan favorite picked up a pair of trophies - for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance - and then took a banjo on stage to prove they were deserved, belting out a version of the award-winning track, "Mean."
Swift may not possess the vocals of Adele, or the dance moves of Rihanna or Nicki Minaj, but the young artist clearly strikes the right notes with viewers across the country. She's one of the most decorated singers of her generation and you can watch her in Grammy action now:
Family of Whitney Houston Releases Statement on "Unimaginable Tragedy"
About 24 hours after the death of Whitney Houston, the family of this once-in-a-generation singer has released the following statement:
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Whitney. This is an unimaginable tragedy and we will miss her terribly. We appreciate the outpouring of love and support from her fans and friends."
Bobby Brown, Whitney's husband of 15 years and the father of her daughter, has also spoken out for the first time, telling the public:
