Former US president Bill Clinton wins another Grammy nod
2 hours, 9 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton, movie star Steve Martin, actor John Lithgow and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres won places alongside the world's top musicians as Grammy Award nominees.

An unlikely nominee, Clinton won his second consecutive nod for music's top awards in the best spoken word album category for the recording of his best-selling autobiography "My Life."

Earlier this year, the former leader of the free world won a golden gramophone statuette for lending his voice to the spoken word recording of Russian folk tale of "Peter and the Wolf."

Other unlikely Grammy nominees unveiled Tuesday in Hollywood included funnyman Steve Martin who also won a nod for best spoken word album for the recording of his novel "The Pleasure of My Company."

Lithgow, who starred in the hit television sitcom "Third Rock from the Sun," won two Grammy nods, including one for best spoken word album for "The World According To Mr. Rogers" which he shares with former "Cagney and Lacey" star Tyne Daley and comic Lily Tomlin.

Lithgow also won a nod for best spoken word album for children for "Carnival Of The Animals."

US comics DeGeneres and Jon Stewart won nominations for best comedy album, De Generes for "The Funny Thing Is..." and Stewart for his satirical "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents...America: A Citizen's Guide To Democracy Inaction."

Pithy US author David Sedaris also won two nominations for the music's highest honours, a best comedy album nod for his album "Live At Carnegie Hall" and best spoken word album for "Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim."

But while the news for Clinton was good, former US first lady, Senator Hillary Clinton (news - web sites), did not repeat her Grammy nominations success of 2004, when she won a nod for best spoken word album for the reading of her autobiography "Living History."

The 47th annual Grammy Awards will be held in Los Angeles on February 13 next year.

"How many ways can Hollywood find to kiss Clintons butt?"

Good question. It's apparent at this point they haven't run out of "Chapstick".

he's just looking for a legacy.

He wanted a Nobel Peace Prize, but will settle for a Grammy, I suppose. (What's the *prize* given by the adult film industry? I bet he could win one of those.)

Yeah, I'd like to see Clinton lose to a nomination entitled "Come Poop With Me."

Why doesn't he just shut up and go away. Maybe garlic would do the trick.

Yes, the first time I heard clinton's voice I said "Wait a minute, is that James Earl Jones or Bill Clinton? Someone really needs to record that melodious sound." Or maybe I said "odious". It was so long ago..

No Doubt? They are up for up for a grammy again this year. I didn't know Bubba was a member.

Who's on first?

Clinton was and remains president of U.S. pop culture, with a loyal constituency of fawning amoral airheads.

Wait until they try to spend a week on his funeral...

If we all show up in blue dresses - would that make the evening news?

This took me a moment to figure out. I'm not always on the cutting edge of modern musical culture.

It would if Bill rises from the grave and....I think I'll leave it at that.

Since no one has addressed this, did Bill Clinton's audio version of his book contain one of these warning labels???
