Cee Lo Green, Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow: Weirdest Grammy Mashup Ever? [VIDEOS]
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIt's a crazy, mixed-up world. Following what has become a Grammy Awards tradition, the show's producers announced this year's mashups in which artists spanning different genres and generations will share the stage for one-of-a-kind performances. While the collaborations can sometimes result in inspired moments, as was the case when Lady Gaga and Elton John teamed up at the 2010 Grammys, just as often they disappoint (see the show's cringe-worthy all-star tribute to Sly Stone). This year, the mashups include some fairly intuitive pairings: Dr. Dre will reunite with Eminem, and Bob Dylan will ...

Condoleezza Rice Performs With Queen of Soul
By not in system - AOL NewsPHILADELPHIA (July 28) -- Condoleezza Rice is no stranger to the whims of royalty. So when the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, decided the two should get together to play a song or two for charity, it was decreed. The former U.S. secretary of state and Franklin took the stage Tuesday evening at Philadelphia's Mann Music Center in a rare duet for Rice, the classically trained pianist, and Franklin, the divalicious voice of a generation. Their aim was to raise money for urban children and awareness for music and the arts. Jeff Fusco, Getty Images Condoleezza Rice and Aretha Franklin ...
Hang Out With Oprah for a Good Cause
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyThe economy may be tight, but when a worthy cause like the nonprofit Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights has a charity auction, you do what you can. Like the Sidwell Friends School auction last month, where one happy donor making a contribution to the private school's scholarship fund was able to score autographed magazine covers of the President and First Lady for under $4000, this auction's items are laden with prestige and star power. Now through May 28, donors can "bid on over 125 one of a kind celebrity experiences to support human rights!" Lot items offer high power ...
