Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z opened the 2014 Grammy Awards,
which is currently being held on Los Angeles' Staples Center. The
couple delivered the first live performance of their new collaboration,
"Drunk in Love".
Beyonce and her husband managed to steal the spotlight with the steamy
performance. The diva, who looked stunning in a sexy one piece, sang the
song on a spinning chair before Jay-Z joined her onstage. The two stars
then danced together and gave each other a big hug before leaving the
stage. The performance marked Bey and
Jay-Z's first time to take the stage at an awards show since 2003, when
they appeared together to sing "Crazy in Love" at the MTV VMAs. Lorde was also among performers who have been enlisted to perform
at the Grammys. Making her Grammy debut, the New Zealand native donned a
sleeveless white top when treating the crowd with a haunting rendition
of her breakthrough single "Royals".
Other artists who have so far taken the stage at the event include Katy Perry who sang her "Dark Horse", Robin Thicke who was joined by Chicago to perform "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and "Saturday in the Park" before singing his own hit "Blurred Lines", and Taylor Swift who played her piano as she performed "All Too Well". More A-list musicians will perform later tonight.
Before returning with a new season this spring, "Game of Thrones" will offer a behind-the-scenes sneak peek in "Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing". HBO has now promoted the 15-minute special with a 30-second preview, in which the stars tease the upcoming season 4.
"Tyrion has never been faced with this much humiliation," Peter Dinklage says of his character as the scene shows Tyrion in chain. Lena Headey gushes, "The stakes are super high," while a glimpse of Cersei passionately lip locking with Jaime is featured.
Maisie Williams who plays Arya claims the Starks are "going back stronger," while her on-screen brother Kit Harington teases that the upcoming installment is by far "the most action-packed season."
For a longer look at the fourth installment of the medieval series, fans
can tune into "Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing" on Sunday, February 9 at
8:45 P.M. on HBO. It will include a look back at seasons one through
three as well as clips from upcoming episdoes, behind-the-scenes footage
and cast interviews.
The new season of "Game of Thrones"
will premiere April 6, at 9 P.M. It will introduce new faces such as
Red Viper a.k.a. Prince Oberyn (Pedro Pascal), Tycho Nestoris (Mark
Gatiss), Styr of the Thenn (Yuri Kolokolnikov), and Hizdahr zo Loraq

The news: Although the World Cup in Qatar will not
take place until 2022, migrant construction workers have already began
building its infrastructure. Construction can be a dangerous job, but
it’s been so dangerous in Qatar that 185 workers died in 2013 while on
this project.
The Guardian reported that the 2013 death toll is expected to rise
as new cases come to light. They added that this could end up changing
how migrant workers are treated from here on out, putting pressure on
both the country as well as FIFA to force meaningful change.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter addressed in an executive committee
meeting that this issue will not be ignored
