"An appearance on the GRAMMY Awards is one of the highest honors a musical artist can achieve," said Ken Ehrlich, co-executive producer of the GRAMMY Awards. "By opening our show to a new generation of young musicians who will realize their dreams early in their career, we hope to inspire a generation of future music makers who will see that anything is possible."
"Bringing all these powerhouse brands together — CBS, The GRAMMYs, the Foo Fighters and YouTube — to allow fans to be an integral part of the Grammys experience, is what the interactive community is all about," said Joe Ferreira, Sr. Vice President, GM CBS Audience Network.
"From the classical cellist to the emerging rock star, YouTube provides a unique opportunity for all musicians to market and promote their music and directly engage their fans," said Chad Hurley, CEO and co-founder, YouTube.

Press Release: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, NEW ADAPTATION OF JULES VERNE CLASSIC, MAKES ITS NETWORK TELEVISION DEBUT
RHI Original Movie Starring Ricky Schroder and Peter Fonda Premieres on ION Television on Sunday, January 27
(New York, NY – December 20, 2007) - RHI Entertainment announced today that the two-hour telefilm "Journey to the Center of the Earth," a dynamic new adaptation of the classic tale by Jules Verne, will make its premiere
during the RHI Movie Weekend on the ION Television Network Sunday, January 27 (9/8c).
The new production stars Ricky Schroder (Crimson Tide, Lonesome Dove, NYPD Blue, 24) and Peter Fonda ( Easy Rider, Ulee's Gold, The Laramie Project, 3:10 to Yuma) as well as Victoria Pratt (Daybreak, Brotherhood of Blood), Steven Grayhm (Taken, White Chicks, Mitch Albom's: The Five People You Meet in Heaven ) and Mike Dopud (Kaya, Smallville, Stargate SG-1).
Set in the late 1800's, Journey to the Center of the Earth is the story of the noted anthropologist Jonathan Brock, who accepts a risky proposition to lead an expedition to find the missing Edward Dennison. Brock and his party re-trace Dennison's last known tracks to a mysterious passage in Alaska, rumored to be the secret gateway to the center of the earth. As they descend deeper and deeper into the unknown, the group finds a vast world undergoing an evolutionary process unto itself, complete with prehistoric creatures, primitive tribes and amazing discoveries.
Shot on location in and around Vancouver on high definition video during the summer of 2007, the spectacular scenery and dramatic weather are an integral part of the production. Journey to the Center of the Earth is directed by the award-winning TJ Scott (Xena: Warrior Princess, La Femme Nikita). Robert Halmi, Sr., Robert Halmi Jr., Lisa Richardson and Matthew O'Connor are executive producers of the project.

"This tale of action, fantasy and the unexpected will send viewers of all ages onto their own epic journey of exploration and discovery."

Press Release: Eliza Dushku Lures Joss Whedon Back to TV
TVGuide.com News:
Eliza Dushku Lures Joss Whedon Back to TV
October 31, 2007 (New York, NY) -- Eliza Dushku and Joss Whedon are reteaming for a new series -- a one-hour drama called Dollhouse produced by 20th Century Fox to air on Fox. The first of the seven episodes to which the network has committed could premiere as early as spring. It's called Dollhouse because that's the nickname of the high-tech lab where a group of "human chalkboards" are kept between assignments. Dushku's character, Echo, can be given new memories, skills and even personalities, then stripped of them just as quickly, leaving them virtual children.
Whedon is the creator, head writer and executive producer, and perhaps in part because Dushku convinced him to do the show, she's getting a producer credit.
Shortly after Dushku signed a development deal with Fox in August, "I called the one man that I knew I wanted to do [a series] with and had to have the best show possible," she tells TVGuide.com's Michael Ausiello. "And he was seduced!"
Explains Whedon, "Dollhouse is a suspense drama about a girl who can have any personality except her own." So it's part Alias and part Quantum Leap, "because Echo is literally changing who she is," he continues. "She gets into people's lives a little bit."
Even Dushku's. "I relate so much to this character," she marvels. "Echo is essentially the story of my life. I've lived a crazy life the past 16 years, traveling around the world and then tripping and falling into this business. Everyone wants you to transform and be a different person every week."
