Music Katy Perry doesn't get the votes Katy Perry performed on The X Factor in the UK this weekend. I read about it before I heard it. And they were saying her vocals were so sh-t she woulda been voted off the show. Ok so then I listened. Yes, totally sh-t. But... How is this By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 03:40 pm
Music 800,000 surfboards The numbers were just released late morning -- over 800,000 albums sold in just 3 days. Beyonce set some records. Don't ask me what records. Some kind of record. 3 days! With no promotion! Did you? I did, obviously. And happily. You know why? Value. It's By Lainey • Dec 16, 2013 03:04 pm
Music Britney Jean’s first week I read an article yesterday on the LA Times website. The title: Why isn't Britney Spears' latest album a hit? Britney Jean was released last week and came in at #4, the weakest first week of sales of her career. The article notes that the releases from By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 01:18 pm
Music One B How does she keep her sh-t so tight? 14 new songs, 17 new videos – an entire “visual” album… and not one f-cking leak. Nothing. No press, no hype, no previews, no Justin Timberlake teasers to teasers to trailers… Just Beyonce by Beyonce. And why? Because Beyonce LOVES a By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 10:36 am
Music John & Katy like James and Carly? John Mayer is releasing a new single called Who You Love, a duet with girlfriend Katy Perry. They posed together for their first official portraits as cover art for the track. More photos were then posted exclusively at Vanity Fair.

Music Beyonce in Vancouver Beyonce played Vancouver on Saturday night. Some of these costumes are different from when I saw her in Toronto in the summer. A few people I know who were at the show say that some of her faces seemed different too. That there is a little Kanye West’s fiancée By Lainey • Dec 02, 2013 04:25 pm
Music Rihanna is everything What’s missing from Rihanna lately, have you noticed? In her videos, on her Instagram, on Twitter, on HER, around her… What is it? MEN. Instead, Rihanna is surrounded by her best friend, Melissa, a steady crew of girls, and she’s doing it for them, for herself. When she’ By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 11:14 am
Music Miley and the cat So basically she’s been f-cking with this the entire time. That crying cat is now the symbol for why I don’t worry about Miley right now. Miley is conscious. That’s not to say that she’s perfect – because she’s not, and she’s made some By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 10:57 am
Music Award show love dramas Taylor Swift is always good for it. It was just a year ago that Swift and Harry Styles were making Burberry hearts at duck ponds and in the English countryside. Last night they were both winning awards and ignoring each other, as that Kardashian he may or may not be By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 10:21 am
Music I still don’t understand I went to bed not knowing what was going on with Lady Gaga and R Kelly last night. I woke up still not knowing. Was it carry-over from Saturday Night Live? A lost sketch repurposed for the AMAs? Am I jet-lagged from New York even though it’s By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 09:51 am
Music JLO’s best performance in years I’m not sure she was singing live. Frankly, I don’t care. She was good enough – great enough – at everything else to make me not care. JLO’s performance last night at the AMAs was everything. It had everything. It had costume. It had flair. It had HAIR. The By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 09:25 am
Music Katy Perry and the people who eat with sticks I’m not writing an entire essay on why Katy Perry’s performance at the AMAs sucked. There are academics who will and have already. My job as a gossip blogger is to point out that she is a f-cking idiot, following Dean’s example – click here to read By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 09:01 am
Music Justin Timberlake does accents now Is he? Did he just…? No. No he isn’t. He can’t be. He wouldn’t. Of course he would. Justin Timberlake thinks he can do anything. Justin Timberlake tried on a Bajan accent last night while accepting his award while reminding people that he can’t be “genre- By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 08:37 am
Music Intro for November 25, 2013 Dear Gossips, I thought the American Music Awards would be boring. I was wrong. The American Music Awards induced rage (mostly thanks to Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake), euphoria (I love you, Rihanna), and an acid trip (is Barack Obama cheating on Michelle Obama with Lady Gaga – what!?). All that By Lainey • Nov 25, 2013 08:01 am
Music When in Amsterdam… This is what you do. But on stage? Sure. If you’re Miley Cyrus. I mean, OF COURSE. After all, she’s following in a long tradition of artists who aim to shock and hijack. This, for years and years and years, was Madonna’s blonde ambition. It’s only By Lainey • Nov 11, 2013 08:55 am
Music The Pinnacle of Taylor Swift Taylor Swift was nominated for several awards last night. And while she was not named Best Female Artist, she did receive the Country Music Association’s Pinnacle Award, an honour that has only been bestowed once before – to Garth Brooks. She’s 23 years old. This is HUGE. How huge? By Lainey • Nov 07, 2013 10:47 am
