Adele's Big Win at the 54th Annual Grammy's

On a big night for Adele, she had a lot to say backstage -- as did the rest of the Grammy victors. Hear what you didn't see on the Grammy broadcast below.

Adele's Big Night: While her millions of fans may have worried about her recovery from surgery, Adele called the procedure "a blessing in disguise."

"Everything is so noisy in my world. I'm so mouthy, it was quite nice to be forced to be quiet," the radiant singer, who took home a ceremony-leading six Grammys, said backstage. "I found great happiness while I was ill."

However, don't look for a sequel to the new Album of the Year just yet.

"Now I'm too busy being happy," she said.

Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Amber Rose, J. Cole, Adele & More Arrive At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards

Earlier today, Celebs stepped out in their Sunday’s best (and some in their wackiest costumes) as they walked the red carpet of the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Nicki Minaj may have upstaged Lady Gaga’s arrival in an egg last year as she walked the red carpet with The Pope as her date while dressed in a red Atelier Versace hooded dress.

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz made a perfect match as they stepped out in style. Swizz Beatz rocked a purple velour suit jacket and Alicia Keys opted for an Alexandre Vauthier dress, Christian Louboutin shoes and a gold necklace.

Kelly Rowland looked stunning in a blush Alberta Ferretti gown

Wiz Khalifa hit up the red carpet with arm piece Amber Rose who was wearing a yellow Versace dress

Rihanna wore an Armani dressed inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer’s dress in “Scarface”. The back of that dress was killin’! She opted for the same pair of Christian Louboutins as Alicia Keys.

Taraji P. Henson wore a pink and black gown. The fit of the dress was a bit off

Adele gave the red carpet a little Hollywood Glamour as she hit up the red carpet in a black Giorgio Armani Couture which she completed with a red lip

Corrine Bailey Rae looked pretty in a black Christian Siriano dress

Katy Perry wore a blue Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2012 dress complete with blue hair

Jessie J killed it in a sparkly Julien Macdonald dress

Cash Money’s Birdman, Tyga and Mack Maine hit up the red carpet together. Tyga was def the best dressed out of this crew…

Ricky Rozay didn’t even try to dress up. He hit up the red carpet in jeans and was spotted chatting it up with Kelly Rowland

Fergie stepped out in an orange sheer Jean Paul Gaultier lace dress with black undergarments.

Melanie Fiona wore a white, black and yellow Maxi dress

Bruno Mars.. what is going on with those high waters..

J. Cole brought out his mother

And Rihanna brought her father and little brother as her dates

And we can’t forget Adam Levine looking all types of good with Model Anne Vyalitsyna. She wore an Anthony Vaccarello dress

Clive Davis Mourns Whitney Houston at Pre-Grammy Awards Party

Clive Davis discovered Whitney Houston at a NYC nightclub when the singer was 20 years old.

It was therefore eerie and appropriate that the artist passed away, possibly from an overdose on prescription drugs, just a few hours prior to the music producer's annual pre-Grammy Awards party at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

Alicia Keys Pays Tribute to Whitney Houston

The somber event did proceed as scheduled - with attendees including Britney Spears, Miranda Lambert, Brandy, Tom Hanks, P Diddy, Kim Kardashian and Mary J. Blige - and Davis opened the shindig with remarks abut Houston.

"So, by now sadly, we have all learned of the unspeakably tragic news of our beloved Whitney's passing. I don't have to mask my emotions. Not in front of this room full of so many dear friends," Davis said. "I do have a very heavy heart and I am personally devastated by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me for so many years. Whitney was so full of life.

"She was so looking forward to tonight... She loved music and she loved this night that celebrates music."

A moment of silence followed, with Diana Krall, Tony Bennett and Alicia Keys later performing.

On tonight's Grammys telecast, meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson will perform a tribute to Whitney.

Karl Lagerfeld Blasts Adele as "Too Fat"

Adele has been nominated for six Grammy Awards. Her album, "21," has sat atop the Billboard 200 chart for, oh, about 197 weeks.

Yet these achievements apparently are not enough for fashion mogul Karl Lagerfeld, who went off randomly to Metro US this week, saying of the current crop of female artists:

"The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana Del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She’s not alone with implants.”

Of course, considering the aforementioned accomplishments, this quote begs the question: Too fat for... what? Not for success and popularity, clearly.

Too fat, perhaps, for the 78-year old Lagerfeld to sleep with? Adele will try to live with that realization. We know it may be difficult for her.

Lagerfeld also commented on M.I.A.'s lewd Super Bowl gesture, profoundly saying of the rapper's raised middle finger:

"Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it's not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women."
