The Grammy nominations were
announced last night via an a concert. Jay Z leads the pack with nine nominations, including those for Best
ancient Illuminati ritual
Rap Song and Best Rap Album. Kendrick Lamar, Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk,
Lorde and Taylor Swift (TAY TAY SHINES, Y’ALL!) also really cleaned up:

“Random Access Memories” by Daft Punk, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D
City” by Kendrick Lamar, “The Heist” by Macklemore & Ryan

the Year nods, as had been expected. Song of the Year nominees included
Pink for “Just Give Me A Reason,” Bruno Mars for “Locked Out Of
Heaven,” Katy Perry for “Roar,” Lorde for “Royals” and
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for “Same Love.”
Nice! Congratulations to all of
them! As I draw ever closer to the Great Darkening Time, aka my 40’s, I know
who less and less of these people are. Perusing the list, I see Duran Duran and
Culture Club were tragically overlooked for albums they probably did not make
this year, so I’ll just let you all check out the full list
of nominees here and make up your own mind about who was blasphemously left
out of the running.
A concert held to celebrate the anointing of the high holy nominees was also a thing that happened last night:
leader of the Knights Templar
Hosted by
LL Cool J, “The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!” aimed to drive
public attention to an often-baffling list of nominations that include an album
of the year nomination forSara
Bareilles‘ tepid piano pop, Led Zeppelin’s nomination for best rock
performance andEd Sheeran‘s spot in
the best new artist category — despite the fact his tune “The A Team”
was nominated previously for song of the year.
OK, I basically have zero clue
what any of that meant. However, if you’re interested in learning more about
this Grammy concert last night, The LA Times
has written more about it than
Charles Dickens wrote about poverty in London, except their depiction of
the concert is a lot bleaker.
Uh-oh. Kirstie Alley and Leah Remini are in a fight, you guise. Appearing on Howard Stern’s show, Alley
called Remini a “bigot” for
comments made following Remini’s departure from the Church of Scientology,
which the Cheers star has been a member of since
the 1970’s.
“The
thing about me is, I don’t care what religion you are. If someone is attacking
your religion, I will have your back, and I will defend you. I think that is
the most repulsive thing a person can do, attack another person’s faith,”
theKirstiestar,
62, told Stern. “Because a faith is what you look to to have hope, and is
what you look to to help other people. I just think it’s really wrong.”
You can listen to the full
interview here. For her
part, Remini wishes to take the high road, which means showing up at
Alley’s mother’s house in her bathrobe, throwing buckets of fish guts at her
front door and screaming until the cops show up. Oh wait—am I the only one that does this?

There is definitely going to be a Fast & Furious 7, in case the tragic loss of their star had you worried about that. [TMZ]

The original movie Gretl Von Trapp aka Kim Kareth says your favorite Twitter event of 2013 aka the Sound of Music Live was “painful” to watch. What, Kim, even Vampire Bill singing So Long, Farewell, under all the Swastikas? [In Touch]
Sigh. [Hollywood Life]
It looks like you will now once again be able to refer to Jennifer Lopez by her given name, which I believe is legally ‘The Almighty Lady Of The Foresaken Eyelash Implants.’ [Fox News]
Sorry everyone for the late DirtBag. The cold wave/frost that hit the South knocked out some of our very meager infrastructure; namely our Internet. Have you ever called and yelled-cried at Time Warner? Yeah, they put you on this ‘list,’ see….
