Music Intro for April 18, 2016 Dear Gossips, Saturday. It was 4.16.16. 4, 4x4, 4x4 And on this day she spoke. I didn’t write about Beyoncé last week. I wanted to. I wanted to every day, especially on Thursday, with the release of Ivy Park. And I wanted to on Friday, after Ivy By Lainey • Apr 18, 2016 09:02 am
Maple Leaf Intro for April 15, 2016 Dear Gossips, I mentioned in yesterday’s Drake post that he was in Toronto for Rihanna’s first concert in town. And they hung out together afterwards. And that, well, the expectation, and we were all expecting it, was that he would come on for night two. Which happened. But By Lainey • Apr 15, 2016 10:00 am
Maple Leaf Drake’s date drama Drake announced a couple of weeks ago that his new album Views From The 6 would be dropping April 29th. Yesterday a countdown clock appeared online for a new mixtape from Meek Mill. Also April 29th. After people started commenting about it, the clock disappeared, replaced by “coming soon”. And By Lainey • Apr 14, 2016 01:39 pm
Music Kendrick, NWA, and Gene Simmons You’re probably wondering what that irrelevant old dude is doing in the headline. Yes, I just called Gene Simmons irrelevant and old. KISS fans, come at me. We’ll get to the washed-up reality star and fan of Donald Trump in a minute. First, NWA was inducted into By Kathleen • Apr 11, 2016 03:25 pm
Music JLO’s airport kiss Jennifer Lopez is getting some heat for her new song, Ain’t Your Mama. First of all, as I mentioned yesterday in Smutty Tingles, it’s a terrible song – written by Meghan Trainor and produced by Dr Luke. Which is the problem. Ain’t Your Mama is, supposedly, a feminist By Lainey • Apr 08, 2016 12:58 pm
Music Rihanna: reluctant “role model” In the previous post, Kathleen mentioned the Black Girls Rock event that aired last night. Rihanna was presented with the Rock Star Award. During her acceptance speech, she made a sassy comment about how “You know, role model is not the… title they like to give me, you know”. And, By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 11:06 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Janet’s “family” break Back in December, Janet Jackson postponed her Unbreakable tour, telling fans that she had to have surgery. There followed all kinds of rumours about her being sick and a few weeks later she had to post a message on Twitter denying that she had cancer. Yesterday she posted yet another By Lainey • Apr 06, 2016 09:46 am
Music Miranda’s good Tush Carrie Underwood was SO good performing last night at the ACMs. And so was Miranda Lambert. She’d just been named Female Vocalist of the Year and then she joined ZZ Top for their song Tush with Keith Urban. And even still, she was the main event. Because Miranda is By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 02:24 pm
Music Carrie’s stage personality Carrie Underwood’s clothing choices last night at the ACMs weren’t the worst we’ve ever seen from her. And that’s not what stood out to me. Did you watch her performance? If you did, you know what I mean. If you didn’t, I hope you can By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 01:48 pm
Douchebags Justin Bieber new hair, old attitude? Justin Bieber opened the iHeartRadio Music Awards in LA last night which is why he wasn’t in Canada at the JUNOs. But he won the Fan Choice Award at the JUNOs. So he sent a message. Of thanks? I’m not sure. Watch the video: What happens after that By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 11:18 am
Maple Leaf Alessia Cara’s first Alessia Cara opened the JUNO Awards in Calgary last night. I’ve attached video below of what it sounded like not from the television broadcast but in the arena, her pure voice, live, and killing it. Impressive, right? SO impressive that by the time she won for Breakthrough Artist there By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 10:14 am
Music Katy & Taylor’s identity swap While Taylor Swift was collecting iHeartRadio Awards last night (which some would call #iFakeAwards – like the People’s Choice Awards of music?) her rival, Katy Perry, was at the Academy of Country Music Awards as Dolly Parton’s plus one which, like, can we all agree was the better ticket? By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 09:36 am
Music Taylor falls Yesterday Beyoncé gave us a shot of herself running on the treadmill, in WEDGE HEELS. That’s the Beyoncé brand. Of course she runs and works out in wedge heels. Practically it makes sense, since when she’s on stage, she’s handling choreography in heels all the time. Non- By Lainey • Apr 01, 2016 01:08 pm
Music Who gets Kanye’s credit? Hiring someone just because you love a song is so Kanye. If you've been following the social media whereabouts of Mr. West, you would know that he declared Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean his favourite song of 2015 and he's even been spotted By Kathleen • Apr 01, 2016 10:45 am
Music I’ll Kiss It Better And if I’m not good enough, at this point I’m prepared to offer up my husband to help her out… Because I love him. And I want great experiences for him. So, as promised, Rihanna’s Kiss It Better video dropped today. This is four minutes of Rihanna By Lainey • Mar 31, 2016 04:02 pm
Music Intro for March 31, 2016 Dear Gossips, Something is happening. Something BEYONCÉ is happening. I can’t concentrate. I can’t sit still. I feel anxious. I feel euphoric. I feel everything. It’s Beyoncé, of course. Who else would it/could it be? Beyoncé is the only artist right now who has become a By Lainey • Mar 31, 2016 09:28 am
