T-Pain Says He Fell Into A Four-Year Depression After Usher Heavily Criticized His Music
Netflix just dropped an 8-episode docuseries called This Is Pop, which breaks down eight different aspects of popular music, like the rise of music festivals, country-pop cross-over artists, Britpop, and iconic NYC music production headquarters the Brill Building. There’s also a whole episode on the effects and popularity of Auto-Tune, the pitch-altering music recording program that created the kind of aggressive robo-vocals that lived completely rent-free in our ears during the very late 90s and all throughout the 2000s. T-Pain makes an appearance in the Auto-Tune episode because you can’t talk about Auto-Tune without speaking to the unofficial godfather of it. Cashing huge checks for singing like a robot should have been a great time for T-Pain, but according to him, it was anything but, because of Usher.
Ellen DeGeneres Announced That “Ellen” Will End In 2022 After 19 Seasons
It wasn’t the year of terrible press and tone-deaf gaffs. It wasn’t the pandemic or being diagnosed with COVID-19. It wasn’t her employees revolting en masse. It wasn’t even her ratings spiraling down the drain. It was a look. With one withering glance, Dakota Johnson brought down an empire. Ellen DeGeneres has announced that the upcoming 19th season of Ellen will be her last. Mark the date December 1, 2019 as the day the lethal blow was dealt. A year and a half later, the body has dropped. The queen of daytime TV is dead, long live Kelly Clarkson who is probably circling her time slot as we speak!
Rita Wilson Says Scott Rudin Tried To Fire Her When She Disclosed Her Breast Cancer Diagnosis
We all know by now that Scott Rudin is a nightmare boss who allegedly abused his underlings both physically and emotionally. And given what we read in those hacked Sony emails from way back when (2014 might as well have been last century. Oh wait.) we know he ain’t got respect for any-damn-body. And apparently, that includes Rita Wilson. BEFORE Chet Hanks really started wilding out! According to People, Rita says that Scott went out of his way to find a legal way to fire her from a Broadway play after she revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Rita told the New York Times that Scott was the type of person who makes people feel “worthless, unvaluable and replaceable” making it crystal clear that Scott never got the chance to hear Rita rap!
Producers Told Employees Of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” That The Show Will Go On
It’s all hands on deck/boar on the floor at The Ellen Degeneres Show as producers scramble to right the ship. According to Us Weekly, on Monday, producers held a staff meeting assuring employees that “the show will go on” and that they are doing everything possible to ensure that people “have fun at work,” because “a show that brings so much happiness and fun, it should be a happy show to work on.” To that end, ice cream and tickle breaks between floggings will be the new norm.
Samantha Ware Talked About Why She Shared Her Lea Michele Horror Stories
I’m sure Lea Michele really wishes the fact that she’s HEAVILY PREGNANT (Rebekah Vardy stays a messy legend) will encourage all the people who have accused her of treating them like dirt (or in some instances, like cockroaches) to cut her some slack during this difficult time of self-reflection and personal growth. But alas, the hits just keep coming. Former Glee cast member Samantha Ware recently spoke to Variety about being the catalyst for the Great Lea Michele Reckoning we didn’t know we needed, and explained why she decided now was the time to tell the world that Lea once threatened to shit in her wig. She also expanded on her interactions with Lea on the set of Glee. Sorry little fetus, you better cover your ears.
Ellen DeGeneres’ 2014 Oscars Bodyguard Said That The Experience Of Working For Her Was “Demeaning”
Another day, another story about how Ellen DeGeneres is the Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (any reason to name-check that Sean Young classic is a good reason) of daytime TV. Once again, another non-famous pleb has a story to tell about how Ellen isn’t the happy rainbow of kindness farts, like she is on TV.
