The result is the weird split, which will likely continue tonight. West takes it all in stride, though.

In other words, West is beloved by his fellow hip-hop artists, who shower him with nominations and Grammy victories year after year. Among the academy voters at large, though, West's popularity isn't as solid.

West gets nominated voters are skeptical
But West has yet to win a Grammy in the general category, which holds the four major prizes — record, song and album of the year and best new artist. This year, he only has one major nomination — a song of the year bid for "All of the Lights" — to go with five nominations in the hip-hop category and one nod for best packaging.
GRAMMYS
Nominations for the general category are handled by a special Grammy council, set up to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing nominations of the past, and voted on by all the members of the Record- ing Academy. Nominations in all the other categories are made and voted on by academy members who specialize in that category.
LOS ANGELES — Kanye West has a great batting average when it comes to the Grammys.
Before this year, he had been nominated 29 times and won 14. Sunday night, he's up for seven awards, making him the most-nominated artist at the show for the fourth time in the past seven years.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2012
I feel so conflicted by the fact that award shows sometimes are completely ... illogical." West tweeted last month. "I wouldn't nave the prestige I have if it wasn't partially for the Grammys' validation, and I honor that."

50 Cent in Somalia, fights country's hunger
The rap star flew to Dolo, Somalia, on Wednesday. Tens of thousands of women and children have fled there over the last year to flee a devastating famine that killed tens of thousands of people across Somalia.
The U.N last week declared an end to Somalia's six-month famine, though it said tens of thousands of people still need food aid to survive.
NAIROBI, Kenya — Rapper 50 Cent is teaming up with the World Food Program to see firsthand the effects of hunger in Somalia and Kenya.

WFP said the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has committed to provide 1 billion meals for the hungry, and is donating to WFP 10 cents from every sale of a new energy drink called Street King that he is promoting.

The band of survivors had spent the first half of this season
TELEVISION
Those shuffling inhabitants in Hershel Greene's barn had been fed and cared for by his family, or cared for as much as any "walker" could be. Hershel (Scott Wilson) believed this walking dead condition to be a disease awaiting a cure. And then the doors were opened: One by one they came out, dispatched by bullets to the head by Shane (Jon Bernthal), Andrea (Laurie Holden) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln), who pulled the trigger on Sophia, the littlest "walker" and Carol's (Melissa Suzanne McBride) daughter.

The second season recommences.
looking for Sophia, after she had run off into the woods. Sunday is a period of mourning, for burying the dead and taking stock. Herself still wants everyone off the farm, but then he suffers a relapse of sorts. He leaves the farm, then Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Rick set out to find him. Pregnant Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) will need a doctor for delivery one of these days.
Sunday picks up precisely where the first half of the season left off, and I do mean precisely. The gun barrels are still smoking, and shock, grief and disbelief are as thick as the midsummer Georgia heat. Poor Sophia, missing these weeks, was dead all along? (Or even worse: is she among the walking dead?) Yes, and she thus became
a particularly grim symbol and affirmation of "The Walking Dead's" only real credo — that in a truly apocalyptic world, hope is only for fools.
Fans were conflicted — especially me — about the advisability of killing a little girl, even if she was a zombie. Nevertheless, it was absolutely true to this series' nihilistic spirit. Sunday's episode is entitled "Nebraska," which could be a MacGuffin — or a red herring. But either way, the word (and state) figure in an especially shocking scene that reinforces the credo once again.
"Dead" remains good, while the tone gets darker and darker. It'll be a smart, grim start to the second half. AMC premieres episode eight of this season on Sunday at 9 p.m. EST.

Producer charged in wife's murder trial
Former "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman landed at Cancun's airport and was whisked away in an SUV accompanied by three police vehicles.
CANCUN, Mexico — A reality television producer arrived in Mexico escorted by nearly a dozen agents on Thursday after being extradited from the United States so he can face trial in his wife's killing.
Minutes after landing, agents drove the producer to the state prosecutors'

His U.S. attorneys fought his return to Mexico, but two federal judges ruled there was ample reason to send him abroad for trial.
Garcia Torres told The Associated Press the prosecution has gathered strong evidence in the case. A judge has yet to see the suspect and decide when he will be tried.

FILM
Unexpected star's death, filmmaker devastated
PHILADELPHIA — Wim Wenders was two weeks away from the start date for his new film when his star — Philippina "Pina" Bausch, the German choreographer — died. She had cancer, and had been diagnosed only five days earlier.
"We had been talking about making this together for almost 20 years," Wenders said. He finally figured out how to go about doing his documentary — in 3-D — when Bausch died.
"We were so happy that after 20 years of stalling, Pina and I were
finally now on," he said.
"It was the unimaginable, nobody had seen it," Wenders said. "Not her friends, not her company."
And then came the news of her death.
But here "Pina is, a beautiful celebration of movement and grace and of a driving creative force in the world of dance.
