Grammy fued growing between Madonna and Mariah

[buttmunch]

There better be plenty of distance between the dressing rooms of Madonna and Mariah Carey at tomorrow's Grammys.

We told you three weeks ago that Madonna would perform at the awards. We didn't know then how much she'd rankle Miss Carey.

Mariah, who is nominated for eight Grammys, "really wanted to open the show with her choir-backed rendition of 'We Belong Together,'" an insider tells us.

Unfortunately, Madonna also wanted to kick off the broadcast — or else she wasn't coming, she's said to have told Grammy producers.

Even though Madonna's smash "Confessions on a Dancefloor" wasn't nominated for any Grammys, the producers gave in. They're said to be betting that her dance extravaganza, featuring the British group Gorillaz, will hook viewers early and hard.

"The producers noted that Madge is a five-time winner," reported a source.

But Carey, the comeback queen who has picked up only two Grammys to date, is reportedly vexed.

"The war between Madonna and Mariah has been going on for years," says a source. "Mariah was also steaming last summer when Madonna stole the show at Live 8."

Hmmmm...I thought Pink Floyd stole the show at Live 8.

Has Madonna's CD really done all that well? I barely even heard "Hung Up" when it was released, and I've never heard any other song on the radio.

The Grammys are so tacky.

I really can't decide who I like better, because I dislike both Mariah Carey and Madonna, but for different reasons. I guess I would have to say I like Mariah better, though she appalls me with her vulgar fashion choices, because at least she doesn't pretend to know the answers.

Doesn't Madonna realize that we're all sick of her ass? Go away...
