Grammy parties dial it down a notch
This year's Grammys parties, downsized because of the economy, made for more intimate affairs -- and tighter guest lists. So tight that Ne-Yo got turned away at his own midnight breakfast get-together Saturday at the Kress club in Hollywood. As one bouncer put it: "Right now, the fire marshal is God!" The R&B star, who would go on to win two awards, returned later to make a brief cameo at the event, where a mobile McDonald's served up waffles, grits and vanilla iced coffee.
