Hold me closer, Tony Danza: Among the performances for Sunday’s Grammy Awards was a dueling piano duet between rock spectacles present and past, Lady Gaga and Elton John.

Ima let you finish: With many star players, particularly those with a Super Bowl to play next Sunday, taking a pass, the AFC beat the NFC, 41-34, in the NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday night in Miami.
