Fans may have been wrong about the Adele / Harry Styles GRAMMY snub. Clips of Adele moving past Lizzo as Harry was giving his speech had everyone believing Adele was walking out as Harry Styles gave his speech.
But Lizzo let us know that wasn't the case. She shared video of the moments beyond, showing that Adele was only moving to the other side of her for a better view. Adele was standing and clapping for Harry in that clip. As for her initial reaction of Harry winning, as some point out, she can be happy for Harry but sad for Beyonce at the same time.
Madonna isn't here for those who criticized her GRAMMY look. She said in an Instagram post that the photos people were judging were "taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone's face!!" Madonna added that she is "caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in." She wrapped the post with, "I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior -pushing boundaries-Standing up to the patriarchy -and Most of all enjoying my life."
According to "You People" actor Andrew Schulz, a kiss between Jonah Hill and Lauren London in the last scene of the movie done using CGI, but he has no idea why. He said on the Brilliant Idiots podcast, "I don't even know if I should share this… but the final scene, they don't even kiss. It's CGI." He added, "I'm there, I'm watching the wedding, and I see them go in for the kiss, and their faces stop like this far. And I'm like, 'I wonder how they're going to play that in the movie. Oh, they're probably just gonna cut right there.' But the movie, you can see their faces come close, and then you can see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss." See the video he's talking about at Dlisted.com.
Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, was spotted with 19-year-old Israeli model Eden Polani at a yacht party. Even though there's a photo showing Eden and Leo sitting next to each other (see at tmz.com), and Leo's girlfriend, Victoria Lamas, wasn't around, sources say there's nothing going in between them. She was probably taking in a bingo game at the local senior center. It's questionable since Leo only seems to date girls under 25, and Victoria is already 23, so he might just be lining up his next conquest.

People are chastising Chris Brown for his "sorry not sorry" apology to GRAMMY winner Robert Glasper. After Chris questioned who Robert was and trashed his win for Best R&B Album, he then apologized to Robert saying, "Congratulations my brother.. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys," adding that he knows that he "came off really rude and mean," Dlisted reports. As if that wasn't shady enough, he added, "After doing my research I actually think your [sic] amazing." He also pointed out that Robert was "not the Intended target," explaining, "THE ORGANIZATION ISNT DOING US BLACKS OUR DUE DILIGENCE. YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same categor[y].. two totally different vibes and genres."
Whoever's running Michael Jackson's estate seems to have a good head for business. TMZ reports that Michael Jackson's estate is negotiating a deal with Sony for almost a billion dollars for MJ's catalog, but they wouldn't get complete ownership. It's being pitched as a 50/50 split, with the estate maintaining complete management and control. Considering other celebs have sold their entire catalogs off for half, even a quarter of that, it seems his estate is making a bold offer.
We say goodbye…

Not everyone watching the Big Game cares about the game. Adele will be there, but only for Rihanna. She said her halftime show performance was the only thing she cared about, not the game. Fans appreciated Adele for being honest and relatable, though football fans may be fuming over the wasted seats.

Back in 1982, at just 5-years-old, before her days as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in a Burger King ad. Right after, she was sued by McDonald's. Sarah told Buzzfeed UK, "I was the first person to say another competitor's name in a job, and so McDonald's turned around and sued the advertising agency, Burger King and me at 5." She said at the time, all she cared about was getting to eat a burger since her mom didn't let her have a lot of fast food. She was disappointed to find out the burger in the commercial was fake though. She explained, "What I learned on that day is that when they make the burgers for commercials, they glue each seed on it to make it look all perfect and beautiful, and then they shellac it, and they paint it. You guys, TV is not real." Sarah told Sunday Express that because of the lawsuit, she "wasn't allowed to eat" at McDonald's during the lawsuit, noting, "It was tough because, when you're a little kid, McDonald's is where all your friends have their birthday parties, so I missed out on a lot of apple pies." BTW, in 1982, a burger at Burger King was only 39 cents.
Maria Menounos and Kevin Undergaro will welcome their first child by surrogate this summer, US Weekly reports. Maria said she tried "everything- I mean, literally everything" to get pregnant, and when that didn't work, she turned to friends for help. She said, "Zoe Saldana and Kim Kardashian have been so helpful to me in this journey and they both gave me all their advice and people. And Kim especially gave me this wonderful lawyer named Andy and he found me this woman, Stephanie, who helped me find our surrogate."
"So You Think You Can Dance" star Jenna Johnson has shared a pic of her new month-old baby with "Dancing with the Stars" pro Val Chmerkovskiy along with the little guys name. Jenna took to Instagram to reveal a photo of Rome Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who was born January 10th.
Paul Rudd said his kids don't care that he plays a superhero. He said, "I think I'm 'dad' more than I'm 'Ant-Man' or in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Yeah. They don't care, nor should they." His kids are 17 and 13. On the other hand, his co-star Evangeline Lilly gets "major cool points" from her kids for her role as The Wasp in "Ant-Man!" She explained, "Major cool points. And I needed it so bad with my oldest son (11) because he didn't believe a word I ever said. He didn't give me credit for anything ever. Until suddenly, he got into MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and he was like, 'Oh, mom's cool.'"
Ice-T isn't a jealous man, and here's your proof. When he and his wife, Coco Austin, were at the GRAMMYS on Sunday, they were standing up dancing to one of the live performances. In a video Ice-T reposted (see at okmagazine.com), you can see a guy near their table looking briefly at Ice-T but then hardcore checking out Coco. Ice-T captioned it, "Lol… I love how the white dude looked at me then took time to check Coco out…. I TOTALLY understand…"
