That-a LUCIANO PAVAROTTI, he's-a so crazy! At a London press conference to announce a charity concert in Hyde Park, the tenor revealed that he hopes to duet with some special guests--more special even than Placido Domingo and that other tenor guy. "I have spoken to MADONNA and Paul McCartney," said Pavarotti, 65. "I would love to sing with them, as they are the best--and I'm not bad myself--but we don't know yet if that will happen. Madonna has a very clear idea. She promised she would come if we could sing together...
...Rage Against the Machine's brilliant "The Battle of Los Angeles." Wha? At the close of the pre-telecast there was a possible indication of things to come: Eminem picked up an award for Best Rap Solo Performance, and his mentor Dr.Dre (along with Eminem) picked one for his duet with Em, "Forgot About Dre."

There were a few nice moments - Shelby Lynne's win for Best New Artist was well-deserved, and Eminem's duet with Elton John was sharp and well-executed.

And in the four flavorful minutes of "Now You Has Jazz," with Armstrong and his band, Crosby displays his vocal and verbal acuity in top form. This song, like the one with Sinatra, was considerably revised - ad-libbed, if you like - from Cole Porter's text. Bing's asides...
...will. Aside from the dramatic final goal, almost all of Northeastern's offense came in discrete, two-goal clusters. The Huskies scored a pair 30 seconds apart in the first, 47 seconds apart in the second and the score went from 7-5 to 7-7 on a duet separated by just 27 ticks in the third...
