Adele could have done without one particular well-wisher at Sunday's Grammy Awards – a Ukrainian TV presenter who crashed the stage during her win and was later jailed for trespassing.
Vitalii Sediuk spent the night behind bars and faces a court date in March after somehow evading security and entering the Staples Center without a ticket or any credentials, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
When Adele, 24, won best pop solo performance for "Set Fire to the Rain," Sediuk appeared on stage and could be heard saying, "I love you, Adele," before presenter Jennifer Lopez gave him a stern look and gestured him offstage.

It may have been a tribute to Bruce Springsteen but Katy Perry seemed to be the main attraction for some at Friday's MusiCares Person of the Year tribute at the Los Angeles Convention Center before Sunday's Grammy Awards.
The singer, who arrived at the charity event which raises money for musicians in need sans beau John Mayer, was interrupted by two young fans who asked to take a picture with her as she was talking to director J.J. Abrams. But that wasn't all: the pop star, who later hung out with Elton John, was approached by even more fans in the lobby at the show.
