Miranda Lambert won Best Female Vocalist at the CMA Awards for the sixth consecutive time on Wednesday night. But this one felt different from past victories. Lambert didn’t just divorce fellow country star Blake Shelton a few months ago, she spent this week hearing all about rumors that Shelton is now dating pop icon and The Voice co-star Gwen Stefani. Then, mere hours before the CMAs aired live from Nashville, Stefani confirmed she is boning Shelton , Lambert’s famous ex-husband. Who, of course, happened to be in attendance at the event. Awkward much?!? But Lambert handled the situation like a professional, first putting on an outstanding performance of her new single “Bathroom Sink” and then being called on stage to accept the aforementioned award. “Man, I appreciate it. I needed a bright spot this year, so thank you,” the artist said in her acceptance speech, making a clear reference to her divorce. Mentioning another powerhouse performance from an unlikely duo earlier in the evening, Lambert then added in conclusion: “I love country music fans, and I’m just gonna keep it short, but Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton, thank you very much. I’m gonna go home and practice. “Thank y’all very much, I love y’all.” Lambert defeated such major stars as Carrie Underwood and Kacey Musgraves to take home Best Female Vocalist here in 2015. Well deserved, we say! View Slideshow: Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton: Through the Years
Following a one-week World Series hiatus, Fox’s smash hit returned last night and Empire Season 2 Episode 6 certainly didn’t disappoint. There was no World Series of cage-fighting between Lucious and Cookie this week, though, as they were forced to put their feud on hold. Watch Empire Season 2 Episode 6 Online If you watch Empire online , you know how that goes: Lyons stick together, but only to a point, as alliances are quickly formed and broken. In the wake of Hakeem’s kidnapping, however, there was no time for their usual gripes or threats of violence. Against each other, anyway. “High Hope for a Low Heaven” surprised us by answering and handling the question of ‘Keem’s disappearance in a most unexpected way. Lucious and Cookie secured his release awfully fast, leaving the fallout – and Bryshere Y. Gray’s unreal performance – as the focal point. Never before have we seen the brash young rapper so raw, so vulnerable and so lost as when he was helping his girl group with their track. When it came time to do his verse with Mirage a Trois, something was deeply wrong in his head. We didn’t know what exactly. Nor did he. Anxiety? Fear? PTSD? An unknown medical condition triggered by the trauma he’d been through? Unclear, but the impact was profound. It came as little surprise, then, that when Cookie’s “promoter” Laz talked her into hiring ‘Keem’s assailants as her bodyguards, he lost it. Seeing it as an opportunity to exact revenge, he pulls a gun on the crew, leading Cookie to desperately plead with and console her son. “If you pull the trigger you’re going to force me to step in front of the bullet,” she begs her youngest. “I’d rather die than lose you again.” Vintage Cookie. As much as Hakeem wants to be the tough guy – and as much of a hard-ass as his mom is – cooler heads can still prevail. Cookie and Laz, meanwhile, maul each other passionately by the end of the night, which we might have been psyched about, until the twist: Laz sports the same tattoo of a cow skull on his back that the thugs who abducted Hakeem had, meaning he has some nefarious motives. Meanwhile on Empire Season 2 Episode 6, born again Andre is working the gospel into the A&R of Gutter Life Records, and with aplomb. It seemed at first like ‘Dre was out of his mind with this, but he may have just found a kindred, Christian rap spirit in Gutter Life’s J Poppa. Who, we might add, makes a hot couple with Becky. We did not see that side plot coming whatsoever, but hope to see more of it for sure! Jussie Smollett was once again the unsung backbone of the episode, as his latest song “Never Love Again” may be one of his best to date. Jamal is a powerful character who can command every scene even from the periphery, and Smollett’s voice plays a major role in that power. Lyons have pride, as we saw with his insistence on not being marketed as a gay artist, but they also have talent, loyalty and empathy. Andre and Jamal both stepped up in a big way to help Hakeem make his way on stage at the end, proving that family is still everything. View Slideshow: Empire Cast: Did You Know…?

SMH… This is a hot mess! Alexsandra Wright is still saying she is living in a trailer park , but that background doesn’t look like any trailer park we’ve ever seen. All this for 2K a month seems… Petty for Mathew Knowles, the creator of Beyonce and Destiny’s Child. Unless, Mr. Knowles can’t actually make the payments on the real.
Travis Scott & Kanye Team Up To “P*** On Your Grave” “New music” duo Travis Scott and Kanye West have teamed up for a music video released to Apple Music. The video is for Travis’ song ‘P*** On Your Grave’. If you’re not familiar, the track is from his most recent LP, Rodeo. In the clip the artists rap their way through a creepy fog ridden forest and into an open field in zombie Yeezy Season 2 inspired gear. They definitely get an A for effort but frankly it’s just a little weird. See the flick for yourself from Rolling Stone and drop a comment below. Are you guys feeling it??
