Grammy Awards 2012: Celebrities Arrive On The Red Carpet (PHOTOS)

Although the 2012 Grammy Awards will no doubt be overshadowed by Saturday's passing of music legend Whitney Houston, the show must go on. Even with the somber overtones, musicians and celebrities will still flock to the award show to celebrate the icon and their own achievements over the past year.

Giulianna Rancic, who recently underwent a double mastectomy after her battle with breast cancer, was glowing in a black strapless cocktail dress. And as the red carpet began to heat up, the E! News host caught up with indie pop band Foster The People who will perform later in the broadcast with members of The Beach Boys and Maroon 5 in what will be a historic gathering of talent -- the surviving Beach Boys members have not performed together in 20 years, according to MTV.

Bringing a bit of fun to the red carpet are Ellen Degeneres' pint-sized "Ellen" correspondents Sophia Grace and Rosie -- the tutu-clad duo who became YouTube sensations turned daytime darlings after belting out Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass."

Check back for more details on the 54th Grammy Awards red carpet arrivals.

I guess Minaj is trying the way of the GaGa- if you can't beat them, freak them out. Yeah Madonna.

Was that the one that looked like Grace Jones doing the 'Stronget' ad, in "Boomerang" (with Eddie Murphy)? That's what I was thinking...watching the performance.

I'm all for having fun with your choice of dress for the Grammys but Minaj was disgusting! Her act was also deplorable and she didn't even sing but said the words instead. Also, the look on her face of sheer anger when she didn't win best song was really classless. She can take her shtick somewhere else.

i like the back of Carrie Underwood's dress so much better than the front.

Pepsi is American. Coca Cola is American. Kellogg's is American. I love America. Nicki Minaj is a disgrace to America. Her performance at the Grammy's was REVOLTING, REPELLING, DISGUSTING. Shame shame shame on you Nicki and the producers who allowed her to perform such an offensive act.

I thought so too until she performed. Then, it all made sense.

the band perry ...... i thought ...... STUNK. ..... that sister sounded horrible! ...... and no one could sing like glen campbell could in his heyday ... as far as his hits go!

I disagree......Sister sang her butt off, and was true to that lyric, in the same way that Aretha and Glen Campbell have been.

It's funny how you only remove comments that don't fall in line with your Left Wing Ideology!

No surprise here.....Bah Bye

Nikki Minaj is a PIG for mocking the Catholics. Would she Mock Islam? Coward!

What did Nikki Minaj do or say that had Kirstie Alley (is that how she spells her last name??) tweeting something along the lines of "Nikki Minaj, that's not cool"?

Oh, nevermind, I just saw her "arrival" picture with the "Pope" accompnaying her -- I assume that is it. If there is more to it, though, please post. Thank you!

Good Lord....I have seen many Grammy Awards....and sadly...this one was marked with the passing of The Legend of a Woman and her voice....More sadly seeing some of the performances, that were utterly shameful, the incrediblly horriffic choice who ever allowed such trash bands and performers to perform, was an insult to the real talent of the music world....

Carrie Underwood is stunning. Adele looks great. L L Cool J and Billy Ray Cyrus are rocking their suits.
