;D TALENTLESS heirhead PARIS HILTON wants to replace JOHN LENNON as SIR PAUL McCARTNEY’s musical partner.Unbelievably, the pointless socialite had the brass neck to corner the BEATLES legend at a Grammys post-show bash to suggest the Hilton and McCartney collaboration. She sidled up at the Recording Academy bash in LA and drawled in her Californian accent: “I’d love to do a duet with you.” Ramming the point home she explained to the legend: “I’m a singer too and have had an album out.” Thankfully, Macca politely declined, saying he didn’t think his schedule could fit in such a request. One embarrassed onlooker told me: “Sir Paul was minding his own business when Paris traipsed right up to him and introduced herself. “He looked bemused, smiled and nodded — then stumbled out that he’d have to check his schedule. “I don’t think we’ll be hearing the duet any time soon.” Paris then complimented the 60-year-old on his hair, saying: “It’s just like in The Beatles. It’s so cute.” Dear Lord. Paul’s contribution to music is towering. Paris’s isn’t.

A representative from the Grammys are going to provide a press release tomorrow, honoring LeRoi Moore, presumably getting into local papers the following day.

The Grammy's said... well, I'm not sure what they said.
According to their press release, which you can read here, they reason: "Unfortunately we are unable to include all of the talented and wonderful people within the allotted time frame."
So in a three-hour show, it was impossible to shave 30 seconds off some intro by someone, or heaven-forbid drop a 30 second commercial to squeeze in a few more fallen musicians?
As we stated previously, the decision to exclude Roi was made in the pre-production stage of the program. So the 'unable to include' was made about a month or so before the Grammy's even aired.
So pretty much the Grammy's are saying, 'We left him out on purpose, it wasn't a mistake.' Now you feel better?

And if they recognize LeRoi now, then people will complain about the other 275 people who didn't make it either. It sucks he had to be left out, but I'm sure there were people who were just as good as him left out also.

I didn't write that lol
but no, there is no reason to not be able to include everyone and most of the people the shown were never nominated or won a grammy. LeRoi won a grammy and was nominated for a total of 12...therefore he should get a pick. plus he is one of the more "mainstream" people.
