Bruce Jenner was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Saturday that left one woman dead, and he spoke to People about the horrific crash.
The reality star said in a statement:
"My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones, and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident. It is a devastating tragedy and I cannot pretend to imagine what this family is going through at this time. I am praying for them. I will continue to cooperate in every way possible."
Despite reports that Bruce caused the accident by rear-ending the woman, Sgt. Philip Brooks from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station said in a statement that the crash was caused when a Prius stopped on the highway.
The car was then struck by the white Lexus, at which point Bruce rear-ended the white Lexus. The Lexus was pushed into oncoming traffic and struck by a black Hummer, and the driver of the vehicle died shortly thereafter.
Police have determined that Bruce was not speeding, but Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Lt. John Lecrivain did note that there is no evidence that Bruce was being chased by paparazzi. At the time of the horrific accident, Jenner family sources told TMZ Bruce was being chased by as many as 5 photographers. And despite reports that police had issued a search warrant to look at Jenner's phone records to see if he was texting while driving, a source tells People Jenner was not texting during the crash.
Seven victims were taken to the hospital following the crash, and Bruce was escorted to the station in a cruiser, though he was released shortly afterwards.

Everyone was stunned when Beck's Morning Phase beat out Beyonce and Sam Smith for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, but apparently it really got under Kanye West's skin, because he nearly went up on stage to snatch the award from the singer's hands!
Kanye returned to his seat before he could make an ass of himself, and at first we thought this might be a joke, but in an interview after the show, the rapper mouthed off and made some nasty remarks. Yeezy told E! News:
"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
Um, RUDE! And Jay Z, who was sitting in the front row with wife Beyonce, looked just as horrified as we did when all this was going down:
So how did Beck respond to this?
"I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck joked with reporters after the incident. "How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?" But as far as giving his trophy to Beyonce, that's where Beck is drawing the line. Still, even he was amazed. "I thought she was going to win," he said. "Come on, she's Beyonce!" On Kanye's diss he added, "You can't please everybody, man. I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."
Of course, it wasn't just Kanye! Wifey Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram to post the photo below, and she wrote, "This is the Beck won that award face?!?!?!" The reality TV star is joined by John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who look equally stunned.

Setting aside shaky performances and questionable red carpet fashion at this year's Grammy Awards, we were thrilled to see some of our favorite artists take home prizes in some of the top categories.
Sam Smith took home the awards for Song of the Year, Record Of The Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album while Pharrell Williams nabbed the awards for Best Music Video, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album. Interestingly enough, it was Beck who took home Album of the year, beating out Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Smith and Williams.
Beyonce had six nominations, which made her the most Grammy-nominated female in history, but she only took home prizes for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

From the red velour jumpsuit to the autotune, Kanye West's performance at the 2015 Grammys was terrible!
This is the first time West has performed at the Grammys in six years, and it honestly seems like he's lost his touch. We get that the song "Only One" is a tribute to his late mother Donda and his darling daughter North, but we just can't get into this. Hopefully his next performance with Rihanna and Paul McCartney will be better!
So who didn't suck? Madonna! The queen of pop performed "Living for Love" in a sexy red and black Givenchy number, and from the dancers to the visuals on the screen, we were totally into her set. Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj introduced Madge, with Miley jokingly calling the pop icon a "b*tch." Make that one bad b*tch who's still got it!
Who else stole the show? The Voice co-stars Gwen Stefani and Adam Levine teamed up to sing the Maroon Five hit, "My Heart Is Open," but as far as we're concerned, this video is just as good on mute -- Gwen looks AMAZING!

Between the boobs and the sparkles, Kanye West is the last thing we're looking at in the pic above!
Kim Kardashian and her rapper hubby hit the red carpet for the 2015 Grammys on Sunday night, and while the sex tape star nearly bared all in a shimmery Jean Paul Gaultier dress, she wasn't the only one to flash some cleavage on the red carpet! Nicki Minaj worked it in a black Tom Ford dress, and interestingly enough, she borrowed Kim's makeup artist, Joyce Bonelli for the evening!
As much as we rag on Kim for uh, exposing her vagina on the worldwide web, we gotta say, we LOVE her new haircut. And maybe if her outfit offered a little bit more coverage, we'd put her near the top of the Grammys best dressed list...

From cleavage to pops of color, the red carpet at the 2015 Grammys was quite exciting!
Rihanna will perform her new single "FourFiveSeconds" this evening, and we're thinking she's going to want to change out of this poufy Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress before she takes the stage. She may not have been the best dressed, but she's already off to a great start, as she won the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her song "The Monster" with Eminem.
Beyonce, who is tied for the most nominations this evening, already won the awards for Best R&B Song for “Drunk in Love†and Best Surround Sound Album, and she worked it on the red carpet in a Proenza Schouler dress that left little to the imagination. Queen Bey is set to perform with John Legend and Common, so we can't wait to see her take the stage for that!
Everyone has been buzzing about Taylor Swift's Elie Saab gown, and while she's not performing she did get rather excited and start dancing at the beginning of the show. Of course, there's a video of it, and not only are we cringing at her awesomely bad moves, but Pharrell Williams is TOTALLY judging her:

Not only does Miley Cyrus clean up well, but we love how happy she looks with boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger!
On Saturday night the lovebirds attended Clive Davis' fancy pre-Grammy bash at the Beverly Hilton, and they were inseparable for most of the evening. With her beau close by, Miley goofed around with Rita Ora and Jamie Foxx, and other guests included Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea and Chris Brown, with Sam Smith, John Legend, Pharrell Williams, Jennifer Hudson and the Bee Gees among the many performers.
Magic Johnson was there as well, and when he spoke to the crowd, he asked for a moment of silence for Bobbi Kristina Brown, who is still currently on life support after being discovered face down in her bathtub a week ago. Davis, Sony Music Entertainment's chief creative officer, has hosted the party for 39 years, and he was very close with Brown's mother, the late great Whitney Houston.

After the Roc Nation brunch on Saturday, Big Sean performed at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, and it seems like the crowd for that event was even more star-studded! Justin Bieber was there, along with Chris Brown, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez and yup, even Yeezy. J. Lo posted the pic above and wrote, "After the show... This happened #houseofblues #bigSean."
Big Sean performed several old hits and then debuted his new song "Stay Down," and after getting a few pals to join him onstage, Kanye appeared and the boys performed the "I Don’t Like" remix along with "Blessings." Of course, there was some sort of a tech issue, so Kanye took the high road and screamed "Unprofesessional!" in the middle of the set.
In other news, why was Kylie sporting dreads? Turns out she had some sort of high fashion shoot in the desert earlier. Hey, at least she kept her clothes on! Well, sorta:
But can we talk about Chris' hair? We love that he's hanging with fans, but this hue is his worst yet!
