Adele wins 2012 grammys
   
    A lawsuit filed against the Recording Academy over its decision to trim the Grammy Award categories from 109 to 78 has been dismissed by a judge in New York.
      The motion last week by New York State Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Oing granted the Academy's motion to reject a lawsuit brought by Grammy-nominated jazz musician Bobby Sanabria and three others. 
     Sanabria had been the loudest opponent of the Academy's decision last year to reduce its categories and fold some genres into larger fields.

   Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow says he's gratified by the court's decision.In his lawsuit, Sanabria accused the Academy of not following the proper procedures to implement the changes, and demanded that the best Latin jazz category be reinstated, saying the removal had a detrimental effect on the musicians' careers by taking away the Latin jazz category specifically.
   Sanabria on Sunday held out the possibility of an appeal, and said he was waiting to see the judge's official ruling.

Beyonce's mother tina knowles was also not happy with the rumours, 
"I thought it was very unfair and very cruel that someone would think that someone would be that diabolical to keep up a charade like that for nine months," she says. "As a mother it was painful for me to hear the crazy rumors. And I even had people ask me, which was so ridiculous"
    In a now infamous Australian interview that soon became a viral hit on the Internet, Beyonce's baby bump appeared to collapse upon itself as she sat down in the interviewee chair, leading to speculation that the singer was sporting a prosthetic bump.

    Carey, 42, and Cannon, 31, married in the Bahamas in 2008 after a whirlwind romance that began just months earlier. Carey gave birth to their twins, son and daughter Moroccan and Monroe, last April. Cannon was hospitalized in January and later diagnosed with inflammation of the kidneys. He resigned from his New York City radio show in February to help his recovery.
