The pecking order has been set for Sunday's Grammys, and Beyonce's got the best seat in the house, while Justin Bieber and Kanye have no seats at all.

No surprise ... Beyonce and Jay Z are in the front row ... for countless close-ups during the show at L.A.'s Staples Center. Adele is a few rows behind and to the side of Bey. Bruno Mars is next to Adele.

Lady Gaga is in an aisle seat directly in front of Adele.

As for who has to crane their neck to see over Beyonce's hair ... it's Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Solange.

It looks like Rihanna may be in the front row as well, although a little to the side of center.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd will be attached at the hip through Grammy weekend -- even though one of them is feeling way more wanted than the other.

The Weeknd has already officially made Selena his plus 1 for Clive Davis' huge annual bash on the eve of the Grammys. Sources connected to the couple tell us Abel's people contacted the party planners within the last few days ... a good sign he and Selena are getting closer during that Italian vacay.

Both are attending the Grammys, but as of now they're not sitting together. We're told Weeknd's putting in a request with The Recording Academy to change that ASAP.

But here's the thing -- Weeknd, a 2 time Grammy winner, is performing during the ceremony. He's one of headliner acts, and all over promos for the event. Selena, on the other hand, isn't performing -- nor was she nominated -- despite her #1 hit, "Hands to Myself."

At least she knows her bf wants her.

The cast of "Stranger Things" won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, but there was nothing but fun going down at the after-party at Sunset Tower.

You can't help but smile when you see this video of all the kids celebrating their first big award show victory on the dance floor.

Kanye West, Justin Bieber and other big stars are going to be MIA from the Grammys, and we know why.

It started with Frank Ocean, who many think had the best album of the year, but didn't even bother submitting it for Grammy consideration. Ocean says he thinks the Grammys are a dinosaur that doesn't represent young, black artists.

We're told Justin Bieber, who's nominated for 4 Grammys, plans to be somewhere other than the Grammys a week from Sunday. As for why, we're told he just doesn't think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers.

Drake has 8 nominations but we're told he also doesn't plan to be there ... we're told he'll be on tour in Europe.

As for Kanye, who's got 8 noms, he received 21 Grammys in the past, but he always lost when he went head-to-head against a white singer.

Our sources say it's not like the Oscars ... there's no real anger, it's just that a lot of younger singers think the Grammys are out of touch and arguably irrelevant.

"Stranger Things" star Gaten Matarazzo has an explanation for Winona Ryder's bizarre facial reactions when the show won the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series award ... the question, does it ring true?

Winona stole the show, but Gaten, who was leaving LAX Monday, thinks it's all good.

Back to the issue ... how could Winona not have heard what Harbour was saying?

Tyler Perry says he has a mantra every day about soon-to-be President Donald Trump.

We got Tyler leaving Catch Wednesday and he said he actually has hope for Trump, but lays everything at DT's doorstep, saying he must change his priorities.

And, since actors and others in entertainment have won top offices in the past, he says he's game too, but only if he shares the ticket with Michelle Obama.

Amber Heard is the thriftiest millionaire on the planet.

Amber was snapped leaving a 99 cents store in L.A. Wednesday, and she certainly looks like she looks content with whatever bargains she's got in her purse.

In fairness, even though she got $7 mil from Johnny Depp in her divorce settlement, she's said the money's going to charity, so she's still a girl on a budget.

Meanwhile, Johnny was off winning awards and winning hearts by opening up about his divorce.

The girls in Fifth Harmony kicked off the post-Camila Cabello era with their first performance since her contentious exit from the group ... and they were just fine without her.

The foursome performed their song, "Work from Home," at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards in L.A. -- a song on which Camila sang the first verse -- the girls switched it up, first singing all together and then Lauren took over.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got busted giving Kevin Hart the bird on live TV, but to be fair ... Kevin kind of had it coming.

Hart had just finished thanking all of his co-stars for winning favorite comedy performance in "Central Intelligence" on the People's Choice Awards ... but gave the reverse of a shout-out to The Rock.

The Rock laughed it off, but then decided to pay Kevin back right before the camera cut away ... a split second too late.

Prince Harry lifted the beard of a badass military hero to present him with a medal at the inaugural Endeavour Fund Awards.

Neil Heritage is the happy, hirsute man who received the award at the ceremony in London on Tuesday. Neil lost both legs in a suicide bombing in Iraq, but didn't let it stop him from rowing across the Atlantic, and nearly climbing the Matterhorn.

Prince William was also there to honor the late adventurer Henry Worsley. He and his bro spent the evening recognizing the achievements of many wounded or sick servicemen and women.

The stylists and makeup artists behind Hollywood's most glamorous looks were honored this week ... and some big stars even showed up to show some gratitude.

A gaggle of celebs showed up at Catch Tuesday night for the Marie Claire Image Makers Awards party, after creatives like Chris McMillan, Olivier Rousteing, Pati Dubroff and others were presented with awards for making those same celebs look beautiful.

Some of the stars in attendance included Kylie Jenner, Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, Chris Hardwick, Lydia Hearst, Katheryn Winnick, Shay Mitchell, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Carly Chaikin and Nina Garcia.

The folks behind "La La Land" won big at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards ... and then partied big afterward with the real La La Land's biggest stars.

A gang of celebs came together at Craig's in WeHo after the show, and it was nothing short of Tinseltown at its finest. Some of those in attendance: Justin Hurwitz, Bob Odenkirk, Susan Kelechi Watson, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ... and a dressed down Tobey Maguire.

It was a perilous night for celebs who dared make it down a notoriously treacherous driveway during a Golden Globes after-party.

Johnny Galecki and Julianne Hough were among the stars who slipped down the cobblestone at Chateau Marmont ... where WME was hosting.

One guy just eats it bad.

Donald Trump isn't taking Meryl Streep's Golden Globes attack lying down -- he's dismissing her as a Hillary Clinton "flunky."

Streep used her acceptance speech for the Cecile B. DeMille Award to bash the President-elect for his campaign tactics ... especially his infamous run-in with a disabled reporter. The speech got a huge response in the room ... and, apparently, at Trump Tower.

Trump called her, "One of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a Hillary flunky who lost big."

His Twitter reply continued ... "For the 100th time, I never 'mocked' a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad."

His right hand woman, Kellyanne Conway, has also joined the fray.

Meryl Streep's Golden Globes attack on Donald Trump stirred a lot of emotion, and at least one war -- between Meghan McCain and comedian Billy Eichner.

Billy blasted McCain on Twitter after the Fox News host posted a message disparaging Meryl's harsh critique of Donald Trump, calling her a "f****** moron."

Meghan fired back, saying Billy lived in a "bubble" and was part of the problem between Hollywood and the Republican Party. That only made Billy go off again ...

Billy's known to speak his mind on his game show, "Billy on the Street," where he stops people at random for pop quiz questions ... usually with a celeb in tow. We're guessing Meghan's not a fan.

She never responded after her 2nd tweet, so ... score one for Billy?
