LIZZO NAMED ‘ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR’ BY ‘TIME’ – (12/12/2019)

Lizzo has just been named Entertainer of the Year by Time magazine. The magazine stated that the 31-year-old singer represents “something new,” adding, “Her sound is relentlessly positive and impossibly catchy . . . In 2019, Lizzo was a beam of light shining through doom and gloom, telling us to love ourselves even if the world doesn’t always love us back. We needed her.”

Lizzo told the magazine, “I’ve been doing positive music for a long-ass time. Then the culture changed. There were a lot of things that weren’t popular but existed, like body positivity, which at first was a form of protest for fat bodies and black women and has now become a trendy, commercialized thing . . . Suddenly I’m mainstream!”

She added, “Being a black woman is popping, but like right now in mainstream culture, we’re finally getting a little bit more respect and getting our due.”

Lizzo recently nabbed eight first-time Grammy nominations — the most of any artist at the upcoming 2020 Grammys — including Record and Song of the Year for “Truth Hurts” and Album of the Year for Cuz I Love You.

BILLBOARD WOMAN OF THE DECADE TAYLOR SWIFT: “I DO WANT MY MUSIC TO LIVE ON” – (12/12/2019)

For the genre-bending music superstar and Billboard’s woman of the decade Taylor Swift, 2019 has been a monumental year, and ending with a fight for her rights to the wildly successful music she recorded under Big Machine Records. 

Her latest album, Lover, snagged three Grammy nominations, one for song of the year, and she plans on taking her new music on tour in 2020. “The skies were opening up in my life,” said Swift of the latest music. 

As the year comes to a close, however, she is facing the wrath of Scott Borchetta, former head of Big Machine Records, and Scooter Braun, the manager-mogul who eventually acquired the record label and subsequently, the rights to all of Swift’s six previous albums. The star claimed on Tumblr that she was in the “worst case scenario” as Braun had “bullied” her through out his career, and also reveals she was never given the opportunity to buy her masters outright.

The fight for Taylor Swift to have her masters is ongoing, however, and many well-known figures have backed her up, these including Halsey  and even Elizabeth Warren.

In a conversation with Billboard Magazine, the superstar discussed the year of success and new memories, including starring in the new movie Cats and performing on SNL.  She also discussed her use of Tumblr to interact with fans, saying, “Tumblr is the last place on the internet where I feel like I can still make a joke because it feels small, like a neighborhood rather than an entire continent. We can kid around — they literally drag me. It’s fun. That’s a real comfort zone for me.”

Swift revealed a glimpse of her beginnings in country music and transition to pop, and that one of her mentors over the years has been country superstar Faith Hill. “I had so many mentors in country music. Faith Hill was wonderful. She would reach out to me and invite me over and take me on tour, and I knew that I could talk to her. Crossing over to pop is a completely different world,” said Swift.

BILLBOARD WOMAN OF THE YEAR BILLIE EILISH: ‘THERE ISN’T REALLY ANYTHING THAT’S OFF LIMITS’ – (12/12/2019)

Billboard Woman of the Year Billie Eilish gave insight on her family life, desire to meet Rihanna, and the success she enjoyed in 2019 in an interview with Billboard magazine. She’s set to begin an arena world tour in March, at venues that have already sold out. As she says, in response to her nomination for Billboard’s Woman of the Year, “I’ve never been called a woman before,” laughing, “you feel like you’ve been doing it forever. And then I remember — it’s literally just the beginning.”

The star plans to stay in Los Angeles until the end of the year, focusing most recently on issues such as climate change and mental health. 

Eilish also addressed her feelings about being a young female artist and other people’s perception of her, stating that she used to be anxious about her future because she was a girl. She then elaborated on a previous statement that she chooses to wear baggy clothes so others won’t comment on her body and trying to make it easier for girls to just wear what they want. 

“I’m lucky enough to be in a generation that’s able to break every rule — and that’s crazy,” said the star when asked if she felt that there was anything she can’t do, and continued, “To be honest, there isn’t really anything that’s off-limits.”

KENDALL JENNER NAMES THE ‘WORST PARENT’ OF HER FIVE SIBLINGS: After an interview on “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, Kendall Jenner rated her sibling from best to worst parent, with brother Rob receiving first place, followed by “Khloe, Kim, Kylie, and Kourtney”.

TAYLOR SWIFT PERFORMS NEW HOLIDAY SINGLE ‘CHRISTMAS TREE FARM’ LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME – AND MORE SWIFT NEWS – (12/11/2019)

Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.

Taylor Swift gave her new holiday song, “Christmas Tree Farm,” its live concert debut Sunday in London, at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball.

Taylor donned a Santa hat and performed in a white romper and boots, as digital snowflakes drifted down the video screens behind her. The video, which features footage of her as a child, also played behind her.

Fans report that Swift’s set list also included “Blank Space,” “ME!” and “London Boy,” as well as “Lover,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “22,” “You Need to Calm Down” and “Shake It Off.”

Meanwhile, Madame Tussauds London has revealed it is putting the first-ever permanent wax figure of Taylor on display starting December 13th, which also happens to be her 30th birthday.

And, Taylor is teasing the imminent release of her upcoming movie Cats by posting a photo of her first day on set. The singer, who plays a cat named Bombalurina, is pictured on a giant-sized set designed to make people seem tiny by comparison, standing by a huge door and stretching up to reach a doorknob. Cats is in theaters December 20th. Taylor received a Golden Globe nomination for “Beautiful Ghosts,” the original song she co-wrote for the movie with Cats creator Andrew Lloyd Webber.

In other news, Swift’s camp ran an ad Tuesday in a Grammy-themed edition of the Los Angeles Times’ The Envelope section. While Swift has three Grammy nominations this year, Republic Records’ ad focuses entirely on Swift’s song of the year nomination: “Vote for ‘Lover,’” the ad implores, “…Because this decade’s most prolific songwriter has never won Grammy’s song of the year.” This is Taylor’s fourth nomination in that category. The 62nd annual Grammy Awards will be presented at Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 26th.

Finally, after YouTube host and podcaster Stefan Molyneux spoke openly about Swift’s fertility now that she is turning 30 years old, Chrissy Teigen fired back hard.

Molyneux wrote, “I can’t believe Taylor Swift is about to turn 30 – she still looks so young! It’s strange to think that 90% of her eggs are already gone – 97% by the time she turns 40 – so I hope she thinks about having kids before it’s too late! She’d be a fun mom. :)”

Teigen, who has previously shared her own fertility struggles, wasted little time firing back at Molyneux. As she bluntly put it, “Uhhhh you’re a f*ckin weird ass.”

JORDYN WOODS TAKES LIE DETECTOR TEST ON ‘RED TABLE TALK’ – (12/11/2019)

When the Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods scandal broke out back in February, Woods decided to take a lie detector test on Red Table Talk to prove she was telling the truth about her side of the story. Yesterday (December 10th), during a special “Ask Us Anything” episode of the show, Jada Pinkett-Smith revealed that Woods requested to take the test. She said, “Jordyn did take a lie detector test … it was Jordyn’s request. It was her request to be here, and it was her request to take the lie detector test. We had a forensic polygraphist with more than 25 years of experience in criminal and civil investigations.”

Jordyn revealed what she hoped to gain from taking the test, saying, [“I just want everyone to know that I’m telling the truth. That’s the most important part of the story to me, is the truth.”]

Jordyn took a two hour test and certified polygraphist Shon Thurman said that she passed with “flying colors.” During the test, he asked [“Are you now in the state of California? Jordyn: “Yes” Shon: “Are you currently sitting down?” Jordyn: “Yes.” Shon: “Did you have sex with Tristan Thompson?” Jordyn: “No.”]

Meanwhile, Jada’s mom Adrienne seemingly threw a little shade at The Kardashians for the way they handled the scandal. She said, [“There were a lot of untruths that were put out there and one of them was about the fact that there wasn’t an apology from Jordyn. . .  From the text messages that I saw, that wasn’t necessarily the case. So . . . don’t be editing this out of the show. Cuz that’s important.” Jada: “I taught me a lot.  . .. There’s always more to the story so you gotta be careful how you judge . . . Adrienne: “So while you’re pointing the finger, there’s always three pointing back at you.” Jada: “Ohh. Ok.”]

And you know what if you really really don’t like my a**, you can kiss it.” ‘Cause kissing it makes it go away. I promise.”]

SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS TO JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’S APOLOGY TO JESSICA BIEL AMID PRENUP RUMORS – (12/06/2019)

https://cnn.it/38dH2hU

After Justin Timberlake was photographed holding hands with his co-star Alisha Wainwright, the 38-year-old was widely criticized across social media. He took the unusual step of publicly apologizing to his wife Jessica Biel for a “strong lapse in judgement.”

“A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgement — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar,” he wrote in a message to his 56.8 million Instagram followers. I drank way too much that night and regret my behavior. I should have known better.”

Timberlake and Biel share one child. 

He alluded to him later in the post: “This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”

Timberlake and Wainwright, an African American, are currently filming the upcoming drama Palmer, and many see a parallel in this drama to another incident in which many believe he threw another black performer under the bus. 

Wrote one, in reference to his infamous Nipplegate incident: “What if Justin Timberlake were to escape scot free for all the public shenanigans caught on camera, and left a Black Woman holding the bag to have her career forever changed and reputation marred, without really ever coming to her defense? That couldn’t happen? Right?”

As many will recall, when Timberlake performed the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show with Janet Jackson, he accidentally pulled off part of her top and her breast appeared onscreen. Many believe that Timberlake’s failure to take any responsibility for the incident permanently marred her reputation and career. 

JESSICA BIEL & CHEATING CLAUSE?

According to People, the Limetown star has accepted Timberlake’s apology, and believes he didn’t cheat. 

“She will stand by him,” the source said. According to multiple reports, the pair may even have a prenup clause prohibiting infidelity. If it occurs, the person is penalized.

JASON MOMOA APOLOGIZES TO CHRIS PRATT AFTER DRAGGING HIM FOR USING PLASTIC – (12/05/2019)

Jason Momoa and Chris Pratt had a surprisingly frank back-to-back on social media over Pratt’s use of a plastic bottle as a prop in a recent shot.

It all started when the Aquaman star, who is an environmental activist, chided his Avengers co-star in a comment under an Instagram shot of him posing with a plastic bottle. “Bro I love you,” Momoa wrote, before asking why he was using a water bottle. “No single use plastic. come on.”

Pratt immediately owned it. “Aquaman! You’re completely right. Dammit. I always carry my big gallon size reusable water jug with me too. I even had it that day!!!” Pratt started his reply. “If I remember correctly somebody threw that plastic bottle to me in the photo shoot cause I didn’t know what to do with my hands.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy star continued: “Love you too buddy. My bad. I don’t want your home of Atlantis covered in plastic,” Pratt wrote. “Hear that kids? Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.”

That seemed to soothe the Game of Thrones star, who had second thoughts about the harshness of his response. Then he shared a shot of Pratt, himself and his kids, writing: 

 “I’m sorry this was received so badly today I didn’t mean for that to happen. I’m just very passionate about this single use plastic epidemic. the plastic water bottles have to stop i hope u make a reusable water bottle for amazon so we all can purchase. You’re an inspiration to many I’m one of them.”

The clip has caused an uproar on Twitter, with older rock fans taking the 17-year-old alternative star to task for her lack of knowledge — even if Eilish was only 10 when the last Van Halen album came out in 2012 — while those under a certain age don’t care either if she knows who Van Halen is or not.

Current Van Halen bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, who’s only 28 years old, weighed in as well, tweeting, “If you haven’t heard of @billieeilish, go check her out. She’s cool. If you haven’t heard of @VanHalen, go check them out. They’re cool too. Music is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Listen to what you want and don’t shame others for not knowing what you like.”

In Eilish’s defense, Van Halen have been largely inactive since she entered her teen years. She was 13 when they played their most recent concert, in October 2015, and the band seemingly have no plans to play any more in the near future. Rumors have also been rampant lately about guitarist Eddie Van Halen being in poor health.

Eilish is nominated for six Grammy Awards this year for her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

TIFFANY HADDISH WILL HOST THE OSCARS … IF: Tiffany Haddish told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that she would consider hosting the Oscars “if they paid me and I could do it with somebody… If you did it with me I would do it,” she told Fallon. “Like, I don’t want all that pressure on me ’cause I’m gonna lose my hair and then I’m gonna have to really wear wigs all the time. It’s too much stress. I mean, unless they paid me, like, a lot of money. I’d be like, ‘It’s worth it!'” Still, she says, if she does, it will be “hot” and “fun.” No doubt.
