Whose outfit fell apart on the carpet? Who did Kanye West get advice from at the end of the night? Which punk rocker does Jill Scott think "has it going on?" MTV News saw a lot of stuff that escaped the cameras at this year's awards.
Here are some highlights:
- One of the first stars to walk the carpet was Jadakiss, sporting a three-piece suit and arriving with his mom and dad, who looked equally sharp (see "Celebs Keep It Down-To-Earth On Grammy Carpet (They Wore A Lot Of Brown, Anyway)"). Spotting another early arrival, Jada threw a "What's up?" to TV personality Star Jones as she and husband Al Reynolds walked past.
- Slipknot walked the carpet wearing their signature masks, and gave the cameras a very metal greeting — the finger. This being a special occasion, the bandmembers donned black suits, and one upped his style a notch by carrying a pimp cane. Jadakiss, standing with his crew near the masked men, asked, "Who are these n---as?" One of Jada's people clued him in, and the rapper responded, "Oh, they gonna win the most tonight." (Click here to see who won what.)
- Latin/jazz/funk outfit Ozomatli turned the carpet into their own personal stage when, at each stop, they performed part of their song "Saturday Night," singing and banging out the rhythm on the wooden barricade.
