Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Mostly Females On the List for Grammy Nominations Coming in One Week

0

The Grammy Awards will announce their nominees next Friday, November 8th at 11am. The delivering of this info will come on Grammy.com. The show will on CBS Sunday February 2nd.

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. will be joined by Grammy winners Brandy Clark, Kirk Franklin, David Frost, Robert Gordon, Kylie Minogue, Victoria Monét, Gaby Moreno, Deanie Parker, Ben Platt, Mark Ronson, and Hayley Williams, along with Grammy-nominated comedian Jim Gaffigan and “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King.

Is Gaffigan this year’s host?

This upcoming Grammys will be a battle among female performers. Albums of the year will come from Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, and more. They’ll be joined by Eminem, Shaboozey, Teddy Swims, and Benson Boone. But remember a few years ago when the “women” were told to “step up.” They did!

In the rock category, I hope we’ll see the Rolling Stones and Green Day. The Stones “Hackney Diamonds” should be an Album of the Year but will probably be relegated to the rock category. Inevitably there will be snubs and complaints, but that’s the way it always is!

Will Beyonce get a lot of nods? Will she win? These will be big questions.

This is the 2nd to last Grammys on CBS. As they announced earlier this week, the show and all its specials moves to ABC in 2027.

Omen? Trump Media Stock Price Suddenly Nosedives 12% After Two Week Run Up

0

On Tuesday, two days ago, the price of Trump Media rose to $53.88.

Today, it closed at $35.34. It’s down 12% for the day.

Trump Media’s stock price fell suddenly at 10am, maybe when his investors realized that the Puerto Rico scandal — a comedian calling the US territory a “floating island of garbage” at his hate filled rally on Sunday — did him in.

Trump’s recent comments last night about women’s rights also contributed to the fall. Plus, today he lied about his wanting to shut down Obamacare.

The lies and hate are catching up, Fast.

The Weeknd, Fresh off “Idol” TV Disaster, Releases Nightmare Video for Non Song “Sao Paolo”

0

The Weeknd doesn’t appear in his new video called “Sao Paolo.” Singer Anitta does, however, with a grotesque pregnant belly that has moving lips in place of a belly button.

“Sao Paolo” isn’t much of a song. I don’t know what it is. But after the “The Idol” HBO debacle, I thought Abel Tesfaye would get back to real business. This is the Idol’s new clothes. Maybe it’s good for dance clubs. But not for enjoyment of any other kind!

“Squid Game” Fans: Here’s the Teaser Trailer for Season 2, Which Raises the Stakes in Competition

0

“Squid Games” is back on Netflix soon. It’s a Boxing Day present — coming December 26th.

The teaser trailer was just unveiled in Europe at Lucca, Italy Comic Con. (Lucca is one of the most beautiful places in world. I can’t imagine a bunch of fanboys and girls roaming around it in cosplay. It breaks my heart.)

The press release says:

“Season 2 raises the stakes, with Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456. With a hardened demeanor and the scars of past games, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. Yet, his warnings go unheeded, and tensions rise as fellow players question his intentions. The teaser also shows the return of Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man, whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy, while Wi Ha-jun’s Hwang Jun-ho is back, driving the narrative forward as the relentless detective on a mission of his own.”

Trump Lies, Claims Never Wanted to End Obamacare, Even His Pollster Points Out Not True — Scares Followers

0

You do remember that Donald Trump campaigned on ending Obamacare? This was the foundation of his campaigns. John McCain thwarted him, famously, in his last act in Congress.

And yet now Trump says on Truth Social:
“Lyin’ Kamala is giving a News Conference now, saying that I want to end the Affordable Care Act. I never mentioned doing that, never even thought about such a thing.”

Even Trump’s right leaning pollster, Frank Luntz, is pointing out the LIE on Twitter X.

Every single MAGA voter knows that Trump’s plan is to end Obamacare even thought he only has a concept of a plan even after 8 years.

The MAGAs who follow Luntz are freaking out, by the way. They can’t handle the truth.

Luntz’s post is below, as well as Trump’s. Trump also said it’s a lie he will end Medicare. But Project 2025, his own platform, signals deep cuts in Medicare that would destroy most people in MAGA who could never afford any healthcare without it.

Happy 99th Birthday to Oscar Winner and Hollywood Survivor Lee Grant: She’ll Be On TCM Tomorrow Night, Of Course

0

Lee Grant is 99 today! Happy Birthday to the ultimate Hollywood survivor!

Tomorrow night, after midnight, Lee will be interviewed by Ben Mankiewicz on TCM about Barbara Kopple’s award winning documentary, “Harlan County USA.” Look at her in that picture. It’s like she stopped aging about 20 years ago. Remarkable.

Four years ago I saluted Lee on her 95th birthday. She’s a role model for everyone. She’s been through everything and has come out on top. Long may she flourish!

CBS Loses Grammy Awards to ABC After 31 Year Run

0

This was coming for some time.

CBS has lost the Grammy Awards and all its specials to ABC after 31 years.

The 10 year deal begins in 2027.

Earlier this year CBS made a deal for the Grammys’ lesser rival, the American Music Awards. That certainly gave the Recording Academy reason to look elsewhere.

Now ABC will have the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s a smart move for the Disney owned network. It’s not so good for CBS. But no one asked us!

Trump Claims No One Leaves His Rallies Early — As Man Behind Him Leaves Early! (Video)

Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger Endorses Kamala Harris-Tim Walz Ticket (Video)

0

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

The “Terminator” star is a Republican, of course. He was a Reagan Republican, in fact.

He says: “President Trump…will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.”

Lady Gaga Takes Top 4 Spots on iTunes Top 100 with New Song, Bruno Mars Duet Live

0

Lady Gaga is ruling iTunes this morning.

Stefani Germanotta has the top four spots on the iTunes top 100.

That includes three versions of “Die with a Smile,” her duet with Bruno Mars. Last night she released two iterations other than the original single — an instrumental version and a live one with Mars.

She’s also got “Disease,” her new single.

All of this makes up for her “Harlequin” album not charting. “Joker Folie a Deux” did that one in. But “Harlequin” could still recover with some Grammy noms.

Lady Gaga has been killing it on the charts for 16 years! She’s a once in a lifetime talent.
