Brad Paisley just took a look at the official Grammy car, a hybrid thing coming out in, like, 2010 called the Chevy Volt. "Finally, we can screw the oil companies like they've been screwing us," Paisley said, according to an onlooker.

It's actually a $5 million concept car. Security is tight around it, but leave it to Cyndi Lauper to jump on top of it.

Now, wait. Is Carrie Underwood feeling a little under the weather? She ran down the carpet. She was coughing. She was coughing last night at Clive Davis' party.

Seal is feeling the heat. He's wiping the sweat off the top of his nead with a napkin.

And now it's getting nuts. It's the final push out here on the red carpet: Ringo Starr, Jay-Z, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Slash, Chris Brown, Will.I.Am...and on and on.

Kelis just walked in with Nas. Nas is wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the N-word. Um, it's the name of his new album.

Okay, my feet hurt. My new blue Vans are a little tight. It's time to head home and get ready to hit some parties tonight!
