Music Lady Gaga’s Oscar song “I’ll Never Love Again” has been insulted on this site by Lainey Lui multiple times now. Yesterday, she dared to call it “sh-t". That was the last straw.

Music Intro for October 3, 2018 Dear Gossips, I looked at my watch when Beyoncé and Jay-Z came down the elevator last night to open the show in Vancouver. It was exactly, exactly 930pm.
