這消息又來了 THIS could be the last year for Clive Davis' legendary pre-Grammy party. Last week, he announced he'd throw the $1 million-plus gala next month, not with its usual sponsor - Davis' company, Sony Music Group - but with the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS), which hands out the Grammys. An insider said, "Sony told Clive it wasn't going to pay for the party this year. It was a bad year for them, and [Sony chief] Howard Stringer feels the party doesn't help sell any albums and only serves to promote Clive's ego . . . Clive then tried to get his own sponsors but couldn't, so NARAS stepped in. But forget about next year. It's over," said our source. Last year, Alicia Keys, Fergie, the Foo Fighters and Leona Lewis performed. This year, Whitney Houston, a Davis discovery in the '80s, will sing. Her comeback album drops in March. Reps for Davis and Sony didn't return calls. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01122009/gossip/pagesix/l ast_dance_for_clives_ego_149797.htm --
