Lil Wayne & Chris Brown Confirmed For Grammy Awards' Dance Segment

"The Grammy Awards only added a best dance recording/dance field in 2003, now to go along with that at this year's Grammys there will be a dance segment, and Chris Brown and Lil Wayne have been confirmed to perform during it.

Grammy show producer Ken Ehrlich says, "we decided to go all out this year. All we're going to try and do next week is to try and put the home audience in the middle of it. ... It is more than just sitting there and watching it."

What this means is that Lil Wayne, Chris Brown along with Deadmau5, The Foofighters and David Guetta will all be performing amongst 1,000 fans in a tent space.

"I don't know that I figured out a way to do it that felt right until now," Ehrlich said in an interview Monday. "My feeling about dance is it's such an immersive experience for the participant, that to put it on stage ... where the audience is not a part of it ... I don't know, honestly, until we came up with the idea of doing it this way, I don't know if it ever would have worked."

The Grammys take place this Sunday."

Jay-Z To Star In First Ever Rocawear Television Commercial

"Although Jay-Z's own success is undeniable, his label, Rocawear, which he started with Dame Dash hasn't been doing so well.

Rocawear recently had to lay off 28 of their 58 employees in their Manhattan headquarters, and they experienced a $500 million loss in sale globally. Their solution is to do a first-time ever television ad for the company.

Jay-Z himself will star in Rocawear's first-ever T.V. campaign. The ads, which were filmed back in November, will air on BET, MTV, TNT and also during NBA games.

We have some details on what the commerical will be like: "Titled 'From Marcy to Madison Square,' the black-and-white spots track Jay-Z's rise from selling CDs out of the trunk of a car in the Marcy Projects of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, to headlining concerts at Madison Square Garden. The spot uses footage from Jay-Z's 'Watch the Throne' concert at MSG in November."
