Taylor Swift Avoids Katy Perry, Forces Jay Z Into Brunch, Achieves Maximum Taylor Swift

You may have thought the shots of Taylor Swift dancing at the Grammys that hit the web yesterday were as good as it would ever get in terms of Swifty GIFs. And you may be right. Those GIFS are hilarious, after all, but they don’t sum up all that is T-Swift quite like the sight of her avoiding girl drama and attempting to bro down with potential celeb besties. (Read: Taylor’s two favorite pastimes.) First, we give you this awkward moment between Taylor and her candy-colored arch nemesis: Yes, the Taylor Swift-Katy Perry feud is still going strong, and the fact that Katy may or may not have dissed Taylor during her Super Bowl halftime show probably didn’t help matters. Witnesses say things got tense when Taylor and Katy found themselves in close proximity on the red carpet. Taylor reportedly “brushed past” her rival, while Katy kept her eyes glued to her cell phone. Did it get cold in here or is it just us? Next, we present you with Taylor and Jay-Z making brunch plans: Or, more accurately, Taylor peer-pressuring Hov into some midday eggs benedict, as the rapper realizes his total number of problems just reached 100.  The full exchange can be seen below. Watch as Taylor gets left hanging, but perseveres – barking “brunch” at the Jigga Man like a commanding officer issuing orders. Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Jay Z at the Grammys Like cats and pumpkin spice lattes, we imagine brunch is something that Swifty takes very seriously. Check out the Taylor dancing GIFs in the gallery below to remind yourself of what future generations will see when they look up “white girl” in the dictionary: Taylor Swift GIFs: Dancing at the Grammys! 1.

Clint Eastwood on American Sniper Critics: They’re Right!

Well, this is unexpected. In case you’re somehow unaware, the new Clint Eastwood-Bradley Cooper film American Sniper is a massive hit with audiences, but its also drawn a good deal of criticism, in part because large portions of Chris Kyle’s memoirs – on which the film was based – are believed to be fabricated. Michael Moore referred to snipers as cowards and is still subjected to daily Twitter hate as a result. Seth Rogen compared the film to Nazi propaganda and the actor received swift and immediate backlash. Eastwood has been largely silent on the subject, so it was somewhat surprising when he decided to offer his two cents to a TMZ cameraman last night. It’s really surprising when you hear what he had to say: Clint Eastwood Talks American Sniper Yes, Squinty Clint seems to agree with those who have claimed that the film is not without its problematic elements. It’s possible that Eastwood just misunderstood the question, but it’s equally possible that he meant what he said, and that his film is being used to support political ideologies with which he doesn’t agree. Anyone who’s seen at the RNC knows that Clint is a card-carrying Republican, but he’s generally moderate and often left-leaning in his politics. Eastwood has been openly critical of the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and though he’s clearly a supporter of the troops, it’s not surprising that he might object to some warhawks finding a message in Sniper that’s not really there. Or, it could be that he acknowledges that Kyle made some questionable claims in his autobiography and you’re not necessarily disparaging an American hero if you point out that Kyle didn’t really snipe looters after Katrina or beat up Governor Jesse Ventura. Or maybe Clint’s just defending the right of his critics to openly express their thoughts on his film. After all, Clint is pretty much the quintessential American, and what’s more American than freedom of speech? Then again, this is the same  Eastwood that threatened to kill Michael Moore , so there might be something to that “didn’t understand the question” theory. Debut Roles of 2015 Oscar Nominees 1.

‘Bout Time!! Kendrick Lamar Wins His First Grammy Award Ever For Best Rap Performance

Kendrick Lamar Wins His First Grammy Award For Best Rap Performance Talented West Coast lyricist Kendrick Lamar was arguably robbed of what most felt should have been his moment at the 2014 Grammys when zero of his seven nominations yielded awards as fellow then-new comer Macklemore took home multiple awards in the rap categories, but now it looks like the powers that be have gotten the message…or have they? It was announced earlier this evening that Kendrick has won his first-ever Grammy Award for “Best Rap Performance” for his latest single “I” from his upcoming second album …… and while we’re sure Kendrick is through the roof to finally be given his just due after last year’s snub, some fans are questioning the fact that it took a more commercial-friendly song like “I” to earn Kendrick a spot among the Grammy greats when his “Good Kid, m.A.A.D. City” album was greatness in and of it self. What are your thoughts on all of this, Bossip fam? At any rate, much Congrats to K-dot on his first Grammy gold!

Bruce Jenner Accident: Was He Texting and Driving Before Fatal Crash?

Police probing yesterday’s fatal car addictent involving Bruce Jenner want to see his phone records and the phone itself, likely to see if he was texting and driving. Saturday on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Bruce Jenner was involved in a car crash in which one person died and seven were injured. The 65-year-old Olympic champion himself was unharmed. Jenner already volunteered to go to a nearby hospital to have blood drawn for alcohol testing, and authorities determined that he was not speeding. Law enforcement sources also say Bruce tried to avoid the accident, as the tires on trailer (behind his SUV) produced significant skid marks. At the last minute, Bruce’s car swerved to the right, but was unable to avoid the Lexus, which it hit, and caused to swing left into oncoming traffic. A Hummer hit the Lexus, killing the Lexus driver. The actions of Prius driver, who was hit from behind by the Lexus in the chain reaction, have also been the subject of some debate by investigators. That driver told police she stopped at a red light, but was about 300 feet away from one, and has given what authorities describe as a “vague” account. All of this makes the notion of Bruce bearing responsibility for this tragedy seem unlikely, but understandably, the cops are turning over every stone. 17 Bruce Jenner Pics: Through the Years 1.

Photos taken right before impact show Bruce possibly clutching something in his left hand but it’s unclear if it’s a phone, or anything for that matter. Even if he was texting and driving – a huge reach based on all of this anecdotal evidence – proving he was doing it at that moment would be difficult. Maybe even impossible. As for why they didn’t check his phone at the scene, one official responded that “we were more interested in his sobriety.” Bruce passed the sobriety test, and was issued no citations.

Tyler Perry previously wanted to secure Bobbi Krissy for a role on “For Better Or For Worse” and has been defensive of her in the press. Via TMZ: Sources close to the family tell TMZ Bobby Brown has arrived at the hospital with Tyler Perry and the two are at Bobbi Kristina’s bedside. We’re told Tyler was flying from LA to Atlanta for business and offered to take Bobby with him when the news broke. E! News also has an update on Bobbi Krissy’s condition via her cousin YF Kennedy. Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late Whitney Houston, remains hospitalized in a hospital near Atlanta on Saturday after being found unresponsive in a bathtub in the home she shares with husband Nick Gordon. Her father, Bobby Brown, and his nephew and her cousin, Jerod Brown, who goes by the name YF Kennedy, both rushed to travel to go see her upon hearing the news, E! News has learned. “We don’t know what happened yet,” YF Kennedy told E!

She died of accidental drowning, spurred by cocaine use and heart disease. Bobbi Kristina’s cousin told E! News he has been texting with Gordon and has heard that she is stable. Her health status has not been confirmed by hospital officials. Police are investigating the incident. “Krissi doesn’t do drugs,” he added. “She hasn’t been drinking or doing drugs and she’s cut down on cigarettes. She’s been trying to get her music together and keep her voice clean. Her voice is so beautiful.” YF Kennedy talked about how she has been coping with the tragic loss. “She’s still been going through the grieving stages but is trying to keep her spirits up,” he said. “She’s been going to the gym every day with her husband and trying to be happy.
