  • Pharrell Williams's Hat on Display at Grammy Museum Through March

    Remember that strange hat Pharrell Williams wore to the Grammys last year? Of course you do. The producer/singer auctioned off the famous cap after the ceremony, raising nearly $45,000 for his charity From One Hand to Another. Fast food chain Arby's won the bid and has now lent the hat to the Grammy Museum, which will put it on display until March 15 in an exhibit titled the Grammy Effect, "Billboard" notes. The hat served as a lucky charm for the singer last January. He took home the Best Record of the Year Award for "Get Lucky," Album of the Year for "Random Access Memories" and Best Pop/Duo Performance with Daft Punk for the stellar track. He also performed a medley of tunes with Daft Punk, Niles Rodgers and Stevie Wonder. Pharrell will look to duplicate last year's success at next month's award ceremony. His 2014 solo effort "GIRL" is up for Album of the Year and Best Urban Contemporary Album. The monster lead single "Happy" is nominated for Best Pop Performance and Best Music Video.
