I’ll be dining out tonight, so, unfortunately, I will miss the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast (as I always do every year). You can use this open thread to jot down your thoughts and opinions on tonight’s show, or whatever else is on your mind.

Don’t forget, tomorrow I’m posting my revealing videotaped interview with actress and former First Lady LisaRaye, who co-hosted the Trumpet Awards over the weekend!

Below and after the break are photos from last night’s Clive Davis pre-GRAMMY party.

Doesn’t Rihanna look fabulous in her Viktor and Rolf 2010 Spring Collection tulle corset dress?

Psuedo-singer Ciara wore Big Bird Couture last night on the red carpet. Actually, she was wearing Givenchy from the Spring 2010 Couture Collection, according to the Fashion Critic.

Remember when Usher was king of R&B? It’s a shame what Tameka Foster did to his career.

Keri Hilson looks like the statue of liberty in this gold chainlink dress with shimmering gold powder dust all over her body. Too much?


Taylor Swift should win an award just for killing Kanye West’s career


MORE pics after the break!


Singer/songwriter Sean Garrett is so killing the game right now!



Who told Toni Braxton this pose was cute?



Jennifer Hudson looks so elegant after dropping about 50 pounds of baby fat!


Legend Mary J. Blige and husband Kendu kept up appearances for the photogs. Kendu is trying hard, but it’s obvious that their relationship has gone south. As Wendy Williams would say, the truth is written all over Mary’s face.


Actress Gabrielle Union is always good for a few laughs at any red carpet event



Doesn’t singer/songwriter Neyo look like Jessica White’s gay stylist?



T-Pain is a joke as usual



Legend Natalie Cole was beautiful last night! Kudos to her makeup artist.


Why were Wyclef and his wife Milky (or whatever her name is) at the pre-GRAMMY party? Is he up for an award?


Singer Mya looked boring as usual
