Eminem caps comeback year wi
LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Eminem earned 10 nominations for the annual Grammy music awards, capping a comeback year for the once-troubled rap star, while Lady Gaga and Jay-Z also scored big.
Eminem got a Best Album nod for his album "Recovery," as well Best Song nomination with Rihanna for "Love the Way You Lie," at the 53rd Grammys show, set to take place in Los Angeles on February 13.
Hawaiian-born singer Bruno Mars, who performed twice during an hour-long concert to announce the Grammy prize shortlists, came second to Eminem with seven nominations including Best Male Pop Vocal.
US rap megastar Jay-Z, Nashville-born country trio Lady Antebellum and Lady Gaga each earned six nods at the show.
Katy Perry, who opened the show with her catchy "California Gurls," is also in the running for Best Album along with Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire and Lady Antebellum.
Best New Artist nominees were Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber, quirky British singer Florence Welch's Florence and the Machine, country-tinged Brits Mumford and Son, as well as Drake and Esperanza Spalding.
Eminem -- real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III -- dropped out of music-making in the middle of the past decade as he battled with drug problems.
He returned with the album "Relapse" in 2009, before "Recovery" this year.
As well best album and record nods, he is also tipped for best song, best pop collaboration with vocals, best rap solo, best rap song (twice), best rap/sung collaboration, best rap album and best short form video.
While all the attention focuses on pop, rap and rock music for the young, Grammy organizers also select nomination lists for more than 100 categories, including classical, jazz, folk, heavy metal and others.
Some of the less-noticed nominees who could be called to the stage in February include Barry Manilow and Johnny Mathis in the best traditional pop vocal album, and talent show sensation Susan Boyle for best pop vocal album.
British actress Emma Thompson should pencil February 13 in her diary as she is nominated for best children's spoken word album for "Nanny McPhee Returns," while Woody Allen is in the running for best spoken word album.
Comic Robin Williams is among the five nominated for best comedy album, along with "Daily Show" host and Tea Party scourge Jon Stewart.
Here are the nominations in the main categories:
- Record of the Year: "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B with Bruno Mars; "Love the Way you Lie" by Eminem featuring Rihanna; "Fxxx you" by Cee Lo Green; "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys; and "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum.

L-com, Inc, a global leader in the manufacture of wired and wireless connectivity products, has designed a simple adapter for the USB 2.0 micro B interface, popular on cell phones and PDAs.

3 who admitted to CA teen
STOCKTON, Calif. – Three adults who admitted to holding captive and torturing a 16-year-old California boy for more than a year are each headed to prison for at least 30 years.
Michael Schumacher, his wife Kelly Lau and the teen's legal guardian, Caren Ramirez, learned their fates Monday. They pleaded guilty in October to more than a dozen felonies.
Ramirez got 34 years in prison, while Lau got 33 years and Schumacher got 30 years behind bars.
Prosecutors say the victim was beaten, burned and starved at the Tracy home of Schumacher and Lau. In December 2008, he escaped to a nearby fitness center covered in soot and wearing a chain around his ankle.
A fourth defendant, neighbor Anthony Waiters, was convicted at trial. He faces life in prison when sentenced next month.
