Shawn Colvin takes top two home at dull Grammys
The 40th Annual Grammy Awards wore on for three bland, boring, disgusting, commercialized and uninspired hours. No fun, no bells and certainly no whistles.
The event started off with two pre-shows on cable, with MTV and VH-1 doing their best to interview every celebrity that walked through the doors of Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Then things switched over to CBS.
This Sunday night at Hill Auditorium, three young black and Latino musicians will shine under a special spotlight in the first annual Sphinx Competition. The Competition, open nationwide to string and piano players between the ages of 13 and 19 nationwide, is the first of its kind.

Yes, February sweeps month,the competition of the airwaves, has arrived yet again and will last until March 4. We wait and question: Who will walk away with the crown this time?

'Boy' saves Friday night on ABC
Does the prospect of seeing Richard Dreyfuss wearing just a loin cloth and colorful body paint turn you on? If so, "Krippendorf's Tribe," an inane and moderately funny comedy, will provide you with plenty of kicks.
Teeming with juvenile humor, "Krippendorf's Tribe" is a film that attempts to be touching and funny at once. But the movie achieves neither; the clichés of the plot cripple "Krippendorf."Juvenile plot cripples 'Tribe'
