Whitney Houston was under water and apparently unconscious when she was found in a hotel bathtub, Beverly Hills police said Monday.LOS ANGELES – Beyoncé made history at the Grammys on Sunday as she collected six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," making her the most decorated woman in one night in the 52-year history of the awards show.
The multihyphenate entertainer won her sixth trophy with best female pop vocal for her soaring ballad "Halo." Perhaps she was not aware of her record-setting feat; her acceptance speech was decidedly low-key.
"Thank you so much. This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammys," Beyoncé said. "I'd like to thank all of the fans for their support over the years."
The Kings of Leon, whose "Use Somebody" trumped her "Halo" to win record of the year, were a bit more entertaining when they picked up their trophy, the family quartet's third of the night.
"I'm not going to lie, we're all a little drunk. But we're happy drunks," lead singer Caleb Followill said.
Beyoncé, who in 2004 won five Grammys on the strength of her debut album "Dangerously in Love," a mark tied by Alicia Keys, Norah Jones and Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Alison Krauss, reached that milestone again Sunday. She is the first to reach that mark twice.
Lady Gaga, who won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony, kicked off the night with a sequined green leotard with massive shoulders as she sang her Grammy-nominated hit "Poker Face."
Moments later, she brought out Elton John as they melded her song "Speechless" and his classic "Your Song" together in a performance that featured dueling pianos and glitter-painted faces.
Taylor Swift, 20, second to Beyoncé in Grammy nominations with eight nods, won three early awards, including best country album and album of the year.
"I just keep thinking back to when you're in second grade and you sing in the talent show for the first time and people joke around and say, 'Maybe we'll see you at the Grammys someday.' But that just seems like an impossible dream," she said. "I just feel like I'm standing here accepting an impossible dream."
She also collaborated with a rock legend: Stevie Nicks joined her onstage as they sang Nicks' "Rhiannon" and Swift's "You Belong With Me."
Rihanna – forced to bow out of last year's awards as a performer after being assualted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown, accepted the trophy along with Jay-Z with Beyoncé's young nephew in tow. West – who has been keeping a relatively low profile since his dustup with Swift a few months back – was a notable no show.
Maxwell, up for six awards, won his first Grammys. His album, "BLACKsummers'night," marked the R&B crooner's return after eight years.
The show also included a special 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson featuring a video clip he made of "Earth Song" as Usher, Carrie Underwood, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson sang along.
Jackson's young children, Prince and Paris, accepted a lifetime achievement award for their late father.
