Hypothetically, let’s say that Queen Latifah had announced that she is a lesbian during Macklemore's snooze-worthy "Same Love" performance on the Grammy's Sunday night. If she'd broken the unspoken rule of keeping her open secret, how would her world have changed? Maybe Madonna would’ve been to hit those "Open Your…
Last night, a wealthy young duke with a face gentle and soft like rolled-up sleeping bag shocked everyone by winning several Grammys for the art of rapping. His name was Macklemore, he hailed from a far-away, mystical land called Seattle (pronounced: "See-YAW-tehl") and he often wore fancy, intricate coats that made…
Here's his freshman yearbook photo. Bye!

A lot has been said about Macklemore's "Same Love," a explicitly and politically pro-gay anthem that recently received both Best Hip Hop Music Video and Best Music Video With a Message at the MTV VMAs — perhaps essentially meaningless awards, but still indicative of a big Cultural Moment.
In today's Tweet Beat, Jackie Collins spent her day diving into some deep cuts, Katy Perry promotes her boo John Mayer's new album and the similarly named Macklemore and Mac Miller spent their mornings in slightly different ways.
Sigh. Amanda Bynes' repeated insistence on only using her (technically crappy; see above) Twitter selfies comes from a dark place, it looks like. I know: You're totally shocked.
Kelsey Grammer explains why he brought his baybay for a night of debauchery at the Playboy Mansion:
