Drake is keeping his distance right now, conveniently on the other side of the world, far from the Grammys, and the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans where, as we all know, Kendrick Lamar is the headliner. And we also all know that he will for sure perform “Not Like Us” during his set – accompanied by almost a hundred thousand people screaming the lyrics. Someone’s going to measure the volume of the crowd for the “A minorrrrr” lyric and that’s going to be a headline on Monday morning, guaranteed. 

 

But back to Drake – on tour in Australia and New Zealand until mid-March. But people are still wondering if he might pop up somehow on Sunday. Like you know how you can bet on just about anything during the game? There’s a novelty bet over whether or not he’ll drop a surprise single during halftime. I’m gonna say… no. But I wouldn’t put money on it. 

 

In other Drake news, he popped in on a karaoke the other night and sang his own songs. Is singing your own songs at KTV the same as playing your own songs while you’re f-cking? 

 

What else happened today...

Still thinking about Beyoncé winning the Album of the Year Grammy? I posted yesterday about the “relief” when her name was called. And to expand on that, here’s Kathleen’s brilliant piece on the “shock” of that moment and… now what? (Refinery 29)

Reddit is reminiscing about the classic physical comedy moments on Friends. Yes, Ross’s leather pants, for sure. But for me it’s going up the stairs with the couch. (Pajiba)

I saw this photo of Isla Fisher and the first thing in my head was…oh right, she and Sacha Baron Cohen got divorced. And it was quiet. It happened around the time Rebel Wilson accused him of being a piece of sh-t on set with her, which is probably one of the reasons. But it also has to do with the fact that they locked down the drama. And didn’t fight over money and property etc out in the open. She does look great in this dress and pretty shoes. (Go Fug Yourself)

 

Nicolas Cage is speaking out against A.I. in the creative community and if there’s one thing A.I. can never, ever achieve, it’s being able replicate the balls-out weirdness of a dude like Nic Cage. (The Mary Sue)

Travis Kelce was asked at a pre-Super Bowl presser whether or not he will propose to Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. Whoever threw the question out there wasn’t seriously expecting to get a real answer. But they knew that any answer would be the headline. And so it is. Some people are saying that Travis’s response is cryptic. It’s not cryptic, it’s just another way of saying “none of your business”. A media-smart way of saying “none of your business”. (Celebitchy)
