"Chris has grown tremendously as a person and an artist from that time in his life, a source close to the singer told RadarOnline. Chris has complied with all terms of his probation and has completed most of his court-ordered community service.

that experience and vowed to learn from it and become a better person, and he was thrilled and truly humbled that he was nominated for three Grammys."

Chris was nominated for a total of three awards Best R&B Album, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his hit track, "Look At Me Now."

"Chris absolutely plans on attending the Grammys and is in talks with producers of the show to possibly perform," the source adds. "Chris performed at the MTV Video Mu! sic Awar ds several months ago, and his performance was simply over the top as he was flying through the air like an acrobat. Chris' performance stole the show, and he would love to do something at the Grammys to top his VMA performance."

Rihanna is also expected to attend the awards show: She is also nominated for several Grammys, including Album of the Year for Loud.

A judge has eased the terms of the restraining order that was placed against Chris, so he can be at events and shows with his ex.

The son of the Sultan of Brunei bumped all the guests at the Beverly Hills Hotel over the holidays.

Already checked-in customers of the hotel were told they would have to check out

and be moved to another hotel.

It seems the son of the Sultan of Brunei (who owns the hotel) decided at the last minute he needed 200 rooms for several weeks during the Christmas holidays, according to the celebrity website Janetcharltonshollywood.

The Brunei family reportedly comes to town to shop and have cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills.

Hundreds of guests were taken by bus to the Bel Air Hotel and other upscale hotels nearby.

The Prince apparently paid for all the expenses of the guests who were moved -- including their stays at the Beverly Hills Hotel and all their expenses at the substitute hotel for the remainder of their visits.

Seems the hired hands are getting payback on

the Kardashians.

A former nanny for the clan is reportedly shopping a tell-all book about her time with the Kardashians before they were famous, and it seems that she despised some of the kids.

Pam Behan, the former nanny, personal assistant and cook for Bruce and Kris Jenner for years makes it clear in the book that she felt Bruce's two sons were "extremely spoiled and disrespectful," according to TMZ.

Pam also claims in the book that she almost lost her job after slapping Brandon one day.

As for the Kardashians -- we're told Pam describes her relationship with Kris as a "love/hate" thing, but she says Bruce helped her avoid prosecution when she was busted for DUI a while back.

The book has been pitched to several major literary agents, the website reports, but it's unclear if a deal has been reached.

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler aren't alone on their holiday stay at Cabo San Lucas.

They've been joined by a three-time MVP and a supermodel for their stay in Mexico.

A group including Clooney and girlfriend Stacy, baseball slugger Alex Rodriguez, and supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber have reportedly been enjoying the year's final week in the sun.

Prior to Keibler, 32, Clooney, 50 was dating Italian model Elisabetta

Canalis for two years, until they broke up this past August. P! rior to Clooney, the former WWE diva was once romantically tied to the oldest son of pro wrestling legend Ric Flair, David.
