Right-Wingers Melt Down Over ‘Satanic’ Pfizer-Sponsored Grammys
“Are you ready for a little controversy?” a nearly unrecognizable Madonna said when she took the stage as a surprise presenter at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, holding a riding crop in one hand and a microphone in the other. “Here’s what I learned after four decades in music,” she continued. “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative, or dangerous, you’re definitely onto something.” When that line got no reaction from the star-studded crowd, she added, “That’s where you make noise.” Madonna ultimately got what she wanted after Sam Smith and Kim Petras took the stage to perform their Grammy-winning song “ Unholy ”, which included Smith donning a top hat with devil horns on it as flames rose up around them. That alone—not to mention the fact that Smith is gender nonbinary and Petras is a transgender woman—would have been enough to get America’s pearl-clutching conservatives up in arms.

‘AGT: All-Stars’: Who won last spot in the finals? Top 11 acts confirmed
The top 11 acts of the inaugural season of America's Got Talent: All-Stars , also stylized as AGT: All-Stars , have been confirmed following the final auditions episode. On Monday February 6, show host Terry Crews confirmed to the audience that only one act from the evening would be securing a spot in the finals, whereas in previous weeks there had been two spots awarded. The reason for there only being one is that each week has seen a Golden Buzzer being given out, plus a spot voted for by the AGT "superfans" in the audience. The series was filmed in the summer of 2022, so there is no public vote. Judges Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel , as well as host Crews, had all already given out their Golden Buzzer and last week the foursome gave out the one and only Group Golden Buzzer to Tom Ball , meaning there were no more left for Monday's episode. Over the past six week 50 acts from Got Talent franchises around the world have returned to the stage to … [Read more...] about ‘AGT: All-Stars’: Who won last spot in the finals?

Chris Brown blasts Best R&B album winner after Grammys loss
Chris Brown appeared far from impressed that he missed out on scooping the Best R&B Grammy Award on Sunday, if his recent social media posts are anything to go by.
