More Grammy news

Another batch of Grammy performers have been announced, so here's who can look forward to (or not) on the Feb. 10 telecast: Alicia Keys, Feist, Brad Paisely and the casts of "The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil" and "Across the Universe." But will Amy Winehouse and her beehive make it to the piano on Grammy night for a comeback performance? The suspense builds ...

In sort of related news, album of the year contender Kanye West is going to tour this year. The outing is dubbed the "Glow in the Dark" tour, and it's an urban music blowout that'll feature Kanye with Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. Dates are still being put together and other logistics are being worked out. For example, will Kanye's ego require its own dressing room? I kid! We love Mr. Gold Digger around here and he's one of few hip-hop acts that really seems to put thought into a live show. Stay tuned for more details. Word.
