Have its makers been able to turn it into a good musical? Or is this one effort that should have stayed in Vegas?
Here and there, “Honeymoon in Vegas,” the musical, is better than good, with most of the good being Jason Robert Brown’s very plentiful score, which shows him in a much lighter, less...

The comedian lit up the red carpet at the 56th annual Grammy Awards Sunday at the Staples Center, where she cheekily flaunted her assets for viewers. While chatting with E! News's Ryan Seacrest, Griffin was asked to show off her snazzy nail job for the show's "Mani Cam." "Walk that tight little body over there and mani it up," Seacrest said. After briefly showing off her nails, Griffin, 53, jokingly offered to flaunt her booty - which she went on to do, turning her back to the camera and, er, leaning in.
