Nicki Minaj Still Mad About 2012 Grammys Loss, Drags Bon Iver on Twitter
Bon Iver vs. Nicki Minaj Earlier Tuesday, the nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards were revealed. But not quite everyone is ready to start thinking about next year’s big ceremony: mere hours after today’s announcement, Nicki Minaj reminded Twitter she’s still mad about being snubbed at the 2012 Grammys. Minaj specifically dragged Bon Iver, who beat her to win the Best New Artist accolade that year. “Never forget the Grammys didn’t give me my best new artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on billboard & bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade- went on to inspire a generation,” a still-salty Minaj tweeted this afternoon. “They gave it to the white man Bon Iver.” On the strength of sophomore album Bon Iver, Bon Iver, the Justin Vernon-led indie...
Obama Gives Drake His Blessing to Play Him in a Movie
Barack Obama just turned 59 years old, but he’s already lived one hell of a life. Remember when he won the Nobel Peace Prize, was nominated for an Oscar, hung out with celebrities like Beyonce and JAY-Z, and, duh, was the US President for eight historic years? A man like that is bound to be immortalized in film more than once. So Obama has spared casting directors the stress by officially giving Drake his blessing to portray him in a movie. That coveted seal of approval was revealed during Obama’s recent interview on 360 With Speedy Morman. After being asked by the Complex News host about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the drawn-out 2020 election, and his opinion on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 44th POTUS was given some time to riff on more light-hearted topics. That’s when Morman pose...

Kurt “Hardcore Libertarian” Russell Thinks Actors Shouldn’t Talk About Politics
Kurt Russell is a self-described “hardcore libertarian,” and a few years back he caused quite a stir with some strongly-worded thoughts on gun control and terrorism.

For The Rolling Stones’ 60th Anniversary, Keith Richards Says “The Plans Are to Still Actually All Be Alive”
In a recent interview, Keith Richards was asked how The Rolling Stones intended to celebrate their 60th anniversary in 2022. The legendary guitarist had given it some thought, and he bluntly puts it, “Well, the plans are to still actually all be alive.” Perhaps fans would have preferred to learn about new albums, new tours, and other grand adventures. But Richards’ “plans” seems quite sensible. Never mind the fact that he himself is 76, Mick Jagger is 77, Ronnie Wood is 73, and Charlie Watts is 79. In times like these, are any of us really aiming much higher than “be alive?” Richards acknowledged as much when he told GQ, “First off, I’m going to get through this year and see how we handle next year. Because I think at the moment, there are more problems than a Rolling Stones celebrati...
Dwayne Johnson Celebrates Biden Win by Crying “a Tear or Two — or Ten” and Pounding Tequila
For four years, Donald Trump equated empathy with weakness, called people who were suffering “losers,” and played “Macho Man” at campaign rallies. Now Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is modeling a different kind of manliness, happily telling his followers that he “cried a tear or two — or ten” celebrating the Biden-Harris victory. A self-described “political independent and centrist,” Johnson shocked some of his fans with a September endorsement of Joe Biden. Then yesterday, November 8th, The Rock shared an Instagram video revealing the depth of his support. He said he, “got a little emotional,” hearing the race had been called for Biden, adding, “I may have cried a tear, or two, or ten, but they were all very manly, all my tears were manly. But the reason why I got emotional yesterday was becau...
All Hail the Queen: Beyoncé Has 80,000 Bees, Jars Her Own Honey
Beyoncé, a.k.a. Queen B Since launching her solo career, Beyoncé has held a dedicated fanbase endearingly titled the #Beyhive. But it turns out the music titan also keeps up actual, literal beehives — and they contain at least 80,000 bees. The Lemonade singer revealed the fascinating bit of trivia in a new cover story for British Vogue. “What is something I would find surprising about you?” the interviewer asked. Beyoncé did not disappoint with her answer: “I know it’s random, but I have two beehives. Real ones. I’ve had them at my house for a while now. I have around 80,000 bees and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year.” While Bey is singlehandedly doing her part to save the bees from extinction, the R&B star said she originally got into the beekeeping business for her f...
Eddie Vedder Reveals the One Piece of Advice He Gave Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born
To accurately portray his role as a rock star in A Star Is Born, Bradley Cooper spent a few days shadowing Eddie Vedder to learn the ins and outs of the lifestyle. As part of his tutelage, Vedder provided Cooper with a very important piece of advice. On Monday, the Pearl Jam frontman recounted his experience working with Cooper on the 2018 flick. He admitted that he was initially hesitant to lend a hand — not because he didn’t trust Cooper to put the proper time and energy into portraying a rock star, but because it’s so rare that a music-focused movie accurately represents the industry as it is in real life. “We just hung out for a couple of days, and he just asked me a few questions and I told him things like, you know, ‘Make sure your guitar covers your balls at all times,’” said ...
Julian Casablancas Gifted John Mulaney His Trench Coat and Accidentally Left His Sunglasses in Them
John Mulaney returned to host Saturday Night Live on Halloween this past weekend, and he walked away with perhaps the coolest Julian Casablancas costume. Well, sort of. The Strokes served as the evening’s musical guest, and after wrapping up the episode, the frontman gifted Mulaney the same hip trench coat he wore during the band’s performance. The stand-up comedian relayed the fashion anecdote during a lengthy and super entertaining interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers that aired on Monday. He also wore the coat for the entire duration — that’s over 20 minutes! — of their chat. As Mulaney told it, it all started when he noticed Casablancas sporting a neat Knicks jacket while shooting SNL promos. “I said, ‘That’s a really cool jacket, I gotta get that jacket,’...
Harrison Ford Honors Sean Connery: “God We Had Fun”
Leave it to Harrison Ford to get in the last word — and bring us to tears. On Monday, the veteran star paid tribute to the late Sean Connery, who played his on-screen father Henry Jones Sr. in 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. “He was my father … not in life … but in Indy 3,” Ford wrote in a statement obtained by Deadline. “You don’t know pleasure until someone pays you to take Sean Connery for a ride in the sidecar of a Russian motorcycle bouncing along a bumpy, twisty mountain trail and getting to watch him squirm. God we had fun — if he’s in heaven, I hope they have golf courses. Rest in peace dear friend.” Fans of the franchise probably read that with John Williams’ rousing score in mind (see: “Finale & End Credits” off Last Crusade). It’s a tearful read, alright, one that...
