And announced to us, police say that while we were repeatedly asking the questions and not getting answers, the officers, they were taking the camera down. Instead of responding directly to us, they announced this blog, saying that those ticketed at the site are getting back their 40, saying the wusa9 inquiry lead to this and it appears to be an isolated incident.

Pepsico says their products in california meet that states regulations for nei and it is voluntarily applied to the same standards to the rest of the country within the next month. Well lady gaga isnt nominated and neither is miley cyrus. So who will steal the fashion headlines at this sundays grammies . Weve got a red carpet preview coming up next. Virginia takes the lead in a fight for gay marriage, but not everyone is happy here in richmond. Im peggy fox with the some of the regular fashion offenders were nominated this year. So who will we be talking about . Weve got a few ideas with alicia, the entertainment reporter. Good to see you. You too. All right, we have had meats and eggs on the red carpet. Weve had foam fingers during the show. But some of these people are not nominated in the big awards categories, so how crazy will it get . Who should we be looking for on the red carpet sunday . Lady gaga is no the nominated this year and miley is not either. Unless she pops up in somebodys musical number, which is not scheduled, she will not be there. But i think the guys, they may be providing some of the flash and potentially shock value this year. You know weve had doc pump nominated with their famous helmets and gloves and they could always do something extra outrageous or maybe even just show up in tuxes with their faces, without any helmets on. That would be, i guess a change. And ben hagerty of macklemore, the guy who we know as macklemore has been known to rock some pretty good garb as well. He can also show up in a ripped tshirt, so you never really know. The guys, they will be definitely, hopefully interesting this year. In terms of the women, i dont know, katy perry is stylish. Early on she had some interesting weird is choices for her performances, yeah, but shes been very sort of chic lately as she gets into her late 20s. Any stars from hollywood we should be looking for on the red carpet as were getting into the musical thing . Well, you know, hollywood and music, they are such close communities, you know, half the rock stars want to be the movie stars and vice versa, so you never know who could show up. But typically the grammies, they are a little more unpredictable, maybe predictably unpredictable. And that they could go more for elegance and that there are always exceptions. Yeah, it is the grammys. I mean that you cannot be too cool and calm that there needs to be a little outrageous and alicia, we thank you for sharing your predictions for who we should be watching and she says it may be a little peacock action with the men strutting their stuff on the red carpet. And so what will the actual show be like . Well, we know that l. L. Cool j. Will host again. As for performances there will be plenty of interested pairings as well take a look at the scenes tomorrow. And of course, you can watch the Grammy Awards right here on wusa9 starting on sunday at 8 00 p. M. And then join jan and derek for our Virtual Viewing Party immediately following the show.

And jan is out there live right now with first alert chief meteorologist topper shutt as you are saying it is bone chilling cold tonight. Oh girl, i still think it is worse than it was last night. Why is that . Because the wind, man, it is all the windchills. The darn wind. Yeah. Well anyway currently right now, 24 degrees. And are we expecting more snow in the forecast . We have had some flakes in the forecast. Well talk about the lows this morning, this is just pristine. Nothing has happened since the last 24 hours. Now, well start with the lows this morning.
