Frank Ocean blasted the Grammys and the Recording Academy for awarding Album of the Year to Taylor Swift's for her 1989 over Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly last year, calling it "hands down one of the most 'faulty' TV moments [he's] seen." He said this during Rolling Stone's Music Now podcast.
He went on to slam the awards show producer Ken Ehrlich for his messed up performance in 2013. He said on TumblrRolling Stone's Music Now podcast:
"Ok Ken (and David). As much as I hate to make you guys famous or even respond to you directly. We all die one day and you're old so f--k it. Yea yea my 2013 performance at the Grammys was absolute shit. Technical difficulties, blah blah. Thanks for the reminder. Very much appreciated. F--k that performance though. You think that's why I kept my work out of the Grammy process this year? Don't you think I would've wanted to play the show to 'redeem' myself if I felt that way?"
Ocean is skipping tonight's ceremony and did not submit his album Blonde for this year's awards. Kanye West is skipping the show, supposedly in protest for Blonde not being nominated - nevermind that Ocean didn't submit it.
He went on to explain that winning a Grammy doesn't matter to him:
"Winning a TV award doesn't christen me successful. It took me some time to learn that. I bought all my masters back last year in the prime of my career, that's successful. Blonde sold a million plus without a label, that's successful. I am young, black, gifted and independent.. that's my tribute."

Oops, she did it again!
Melissa McCarthy rips into White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer in this scathing impression of the notoriously angry Trump staffer in a hilarious Saturday Night Live skit.
And Alec Baldwin hosted the show for a record 17th time and revived his now infamous impression of President Donald Trump -- this time, the leader of the free world in the People's Court in a mock hearing for the ruling against his immigration ban by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
Watch it, love it, laugh at it ... and be thankful we have SNL to provide some comedic levity to a tragic situation.

She's always gotta switch it up!
Well, a fur coat with biker shorts is certainly a new look for Kim Kardashian. Paired with Yeezy lace-up ankle boots, a knock-off Gucci sweatshirt and a slicked-back ponytail, Kim was turning heads in Beverly Hills as she lunched with photographers preparing an upcoming photo shoot at La Scala.
While Kanye's in New York for his Yeezy Season 5 show next week at NYFW, Kim is back at home, holding the fort down, staying with the kids, but she's expected to join her hubby early next week. We're dying to see what Kim wears at Fashion Week this year -- will she keep on with the biker shorts? The lip ring? The plaid lumberjack shirt? Stay tuned ...

Looks like there's trouble in paradise...
Blac Chyna was out and about running errands in her purple Lamborghini today, and she was practically begging us to notice that she wasn't wearing her diamond engagement ring from Rob Kardashian. The former stripper held her bauble-less finger in front of her face as she exited a parking garage, and all signs point to another ChyRo breakup! And after a pit stop, she met up with a mystery man for lunch -- is she trying to give Rob a nervous breakdown, or what?!
It's not that surprising, though, given that the video vixen was allegedly spotted getting a little too cozy with a mystery man at a Super Bowl party in LA. Rumors that she's been cheating on her sock designer fiance have been swirling ever since, so much so that his family has reportedly hired a P.I. to catch her in the act!
"Rob’s sisters have hired a private investigator to follow Chyna and catch her cheating," a source dished to Radar.
Unfortunately, it's a lose-lose situation, because they know if they find something their bro will be crushed.
"It is a double-edged sword. Rob’s sisters know that, if they catch Chyna cheating, it will break Rob’s heart! The last thing that anyone wants is for Rob to slip back into the dark depression he was in before meeting her," the source added.
We really hope they did split, so we never have to waste our time writing about this con-artist ever again!

Something doesn't look right...
Kim Kardashian shared a bunch of pix from her recent trip to Costa Rica on her app today, and we couldn't help but notice that it seems there was some heavy behind-the-scenes Photoshopping going on! The reality star looks like she was superimposed to appear like she was standing near a waterfall, because if you look at the left side of her head, it's quite pixelated.
Then if you look near her butt in the other two photos, there's a mysterious fuzzy line/shadow that has the tell-tale signs of fixing to us.
Her bod is so bangin' these days, we don't know why should would feel the need to doctor up these images, but we know we're onto something!

She is lucky to be alive!
Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter Maddie left the hospital in New Orleans today, and she truly made a miraculous recovery from her ATV accident this past Monday. The 8-year-old was submerged under water for more than two minutes when her vehicle flipped into a pond, and she had to be airlifted to the hospital.
"Thanks to the amazing first responders, and medical teams at University and Children's Hospital in New Orleans, LA, we are headed home with our baby girl as she continues to recover. Above all else we are so thankful for each and every prayer, because we know that is what truly made the difference. Thank you again to everyone. We are truly blessed," Jamie Lynn captioned a snapshot of the family leaving via helicopter.
Aunt Britney couldn't contain her joy over her niece's good fortune, either.
"So grateful that Maddie was able to go home today... it's truly a miracle. Our prayers were heard, and they were answered! Thank you so much for all your love and support this week. My family appreciates it more than you will ever know," the pop princess tweeted.

This video is hilarious!
Kourtney Kardashian met up with disgraced baby daddy Scott Disick in Hollywood yesterday, and we don't know if LD planned this or not, but the reality star couldn't get into the building when she arrived. The E! starlet was clearly agitated as she stood outside and begged to be let in, and it went on for an uncomfortable amount of time!
Perhaps The Lord knew the mother-of-three was going to let him have it for partying with hot chicks in Miami, so he decided to stick it to her by making her stand outside with the paparazzi?
A new report claims that the hard partying bad boy is no longer living with Kourt and the kids in her Calabasas mansion, and has "given up" trying to get back with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.
"Kourtney is very disappointed for the kids. It’s just totally unacceptable behavior for a 33-year-old with three kids. The kids keep asking for him and it’s just sad," a source dished to People.
"Kourtney hasn’t been happy with Scott for weeks. It has nothing to do with what he is doing in Miami right now. She just doesn’t like when he parties. He is an irresponsible dad when he parties," another source added.
The reality star might have to change her last name again soon, though, because rumor has it she's already talking marriage with new boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
"She’d be happy about an engagement. Tristan is unbelievably good to her. Khloe didn’t think she was ever going to have that again after Lamar," a source dished to Us Weekly.
