The Grammy nominations just happened today. This is, allegedly, music’s biggest night, and music in 2024 has been dominated by women which means that it was the women who came through with the most nominations. And Beyoncé is now the most nominated artist in Grammy history with all her COWBOY CARTER nominations. Including Album of the Year, a Grammy she has never won. 

 

As you can see below, the AOTY category is stacked… with pop girlies. The question is, will the Recording Academy be able to get Beyoncé to perform? 

Shady Baby is six years old, where did the time go?! Kaavia James Union Wade celebrated her birthday yesterday and she’s also getting a party this weekend. Growing up fast but not outgrowing her shadiness, as her mom, Gabrielle Union, shared on TikTok. This is what happened when Gabby and Dwyane told Kaavia that they’d be hanging out in her playhouse when she was at school.

Old c-nts like us are always bitching and moaning, like “whyyyyy do they need to remake everything?” And the answer is that Gen Z and Alpha think that pop culture started only ten years ago. They don’t know anything before 2010, if that. I don’t hate this idea, though. Mostly because I want more opportunities for Lola Tung. Apparently Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt are coming back. But I’m confused about Austin Nichols. Not sure what role he’s playing but I just got hit with some nostalgia because there was a time when you couldn’t talk about Austin without talking about Jake Gyllenhaal. They’re still good friends but the internet remains convinced that they’re more. Or were more. 

After what happened on Tuesday, many people in media and the arts are bracing for retribution. Journalists who’ve been critical of the incoming president of the United State will be even more at risk than they already have been. This man has promised to come hard for the people he considers his enemies – which basically means anyone who doesn’t kiss his ass. 

Radhika Jones, editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, has promised that the magazine’s integrity will not be compromised in spite of the incoming threat. 

 

Speaking of Vanity Fair, as part of the Heretic press tour, Hugh Grant did the Proust questionnaire. I will not be seeing Heretic since I do not f-ck with scary movies but I’m here for every minute of Hugh Grant Promotion. Because he is at once reluctant but also charming and moody and embarrassed and also can’t help himself when he gives into the process and just allows himself to have some fun. 

His Proust answers are random and hilarious, you can hear Hugh’s signature wry delivery by just reading the words. Every response is funny, and for whatever reason he hates leaf blowers very much but also loves to barbecue which, I mean, totally tracks for him because one of his most well-known attributes is self-loathing. Leaf blowing and barbecuing is basically the same! What did he say when he was asked what values he looks for in a friend? “Failure. Unhappiness.” LOOOLLL.

 

But what’s his idea of perfect happiness? 

“Drinking a pint of London Pride while munching Twiglets and reading about Colin Firth having a critical and box office catastrophe.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

By the way, he and Colin are close. 

It’s what Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Grant have been doing… but with muuuuuuuch more English restraint. 

And then there’s Daniel Craig, also kind of a curmudgeon. And very bratty during his bit with Drew Starkey for Variety to promote Queer. They played a game about how well they know each other and Daniel was up for it, but also grumpy about it. Nothing, however, makes Daniel grumpier than having to talk about Bond. 

 

 

I love game shows, but I don’t get to watch a lot of them so I’d never before seen a single minute of The Floor before this clip hit my timeline. I need to f-cking play this game. And I would have crushed this category because even though I don’t clean, I know every aisle of the supermarket which means I can identify every product. This man clearly doesn’t clean or shop.

Now that's how you clean up the competition. #TheFloor #RobLowe #RealityTV #Trivia
