Maple Leaf Celine presents with love WHAT ELSE WOULD SHE PRESENT WITH??? I’m sorry I couldn’t get to this yesterday. I was too consumed with Beyonce. But today is the day of (commercialised) love. And Celine Dion is the angel of all the love, commercial and otherwise. So it seemed fitting to wait until By Lainey • Feb 14, 2017 06:11 pm
Grammy Awards 2017 Intro for February 14, 2017 Dear Gossips, Ratings for the Grammys this year improved over last year and the year before. Social media ratings, increasingly important to measure reach, also went up over last year and the year before. These were the Grammys where Beyoncé had the most nominations. Who, then, do you think generated By Lainey • Feb 14, 2017 09:00 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Heidi’s Grammy surprise What’s the surprise? The surprise is that she isn’t wearing something hideous. Because she almost always wears the most heinous sh-t at award shows. It’s hard to f-ck this one up though, even for Heidi Klum. This is basically a sequined t-shirt. It’s nothing special but By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 03:24 pm
Grammy Awards 2017 Bruno’s Grammy consistency If there was an award for the Best Artist at Awards Shows, that honour would go to Bruno Mars. Beyoncé and Adele don’t qualify because they don’t grace us with their presence enough. Bruno is an award show staple and, consistently, he delivers. He slayed the American Music By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 03:11 pm
Style Rihanna’s flask Rihanna went 0 for 8 last night at the Grammys. 0 for 8 for Anti, the best, most critically acclaimed album of her career. Probably the biggest surprise is that 21 Pilots’s Stressed Out beat out Work. Because for those who argue that the Grammys are based on sales By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 02:54 pm
Style The Grammys needed more Solange My second biggest disappointment of the night was how little we got to see of Miss Tina’s youngest daughter, Solange Knowles. Solange’s A Seat at the Table was one of my favourite albums of 2016. Solange had an incredible year. Last night, she won her first Grammy for By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 11:53 am
Coincidence or conspiracy Beyoncé knew She knew. Last week I wrote about how the Recording Academy had to discuss during a meeting whether or not Beyoncé was “gaming the system”. They claim it was a short conversation but the signs were there – they didn’t appreciate that Beyoncé delivered a complete album that crossed several By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 11:25 am
Music Beyoncé is worthy There is a lot I would say to Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter if I ever got the chance. I would tell her that she is the single greatest artist of my generation and that it has been one of my life’s pleasures just to be her fan. I would By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 10:18 am
Relationship Assumption J.Lo “gushes” over Drake at the Grammys Most of the headlines featuring Jennifer Lopez today are saying that she “gushed” about Drake in her Grammys red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest. That is not how I interpreted what she said about Drake. Or, I should say, that is not how I read her body language when she By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 09:46 am
Grammy Awards 2017 Adele shows her work We all remember last year the Grammys f-cked Adele on the audio. This year, she opened the show. And, to be honest, the audio was a problem again – not as bad as in 2016 but we’ve all seen Adele at the height of her powers. And if you’ve By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 09:12 am
Music We The People A Tribe Called Quest ended their performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards with Q-Tip yelling, “RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!” So, it was the most 2017 performance of the night. ATCQ was joined by Busta Rhymes and Best New Artist nominee Anderson .Paak. ATCQ’s classic jam Award Tour kicked off the By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 08:18 am
Grammy Awards 2017 Paris Jackson at the Grammys Were we meant to be intrigued by Michael Jackson’s children the moment he introduced them to the world? They were presented to us. And they were also hidden from us. Because he knew about the oppressive nature of fame. But, deep down, he must have also known that elusiveness By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 07:58 am
Music Chance took the Grammys to church In January, I wrote about how Chance The Rapper was leaning hard into his good guy persona. I also wrote about how having “Grammy-award winning” in front of your name means ultimate validation for artists and how much I wanted that for Chance. Well, Chance The Rapper was validated 3 By Kathleen • Feb 13, 2017 07:44 am
Music Intro for February 13, 2017 Dear Gossips, Since the midpoint of last year, I’ve been Gossip Genie-ing for a Grammy collaboration between Beyoncé and Adele. A conventional collaboration did not happen. But could you call what actually did happen a collaboration? In the end, what wasn’t televised is the moment Adele accidentally broke By Lainey • Feb 13, 2017 07:00 am
