Scooter Braun Gets Abandoned
MUAAAAHAHAHAHA. Scooter Braun, Taylor Swift’s former manager who sold her catalog without giving her the opportunity to buy it herself, has finally been deserted by Ariana Grande, one of his biggest artists. Ariana’s obviously been going through her own things (filming Wicked, destroying families, etc…) but this is def a win for her in my book. Not sure what’s going through the Wicked family tree here, but Idina Menzel has just dropped him as well. She’s defying gravity yall!
It’s unclear why people have been dropping Scooter — my working theory is that Taylor Swift is practicing brujería at a level that the world has never before seen. I *refuse* to believe this woman is uninvolved in what’s going on here, I’m so sorry. She destroyed your marriage and now she’s destroying your business!!!!
Sidebar: D*mi L*vato also ditched Scooter. That means absolutely nothing to me, but hopefully it’s the start of some kind of mass-abandoning of his agency.
Addison Rae’s EP Drops
Addison Rae’s EP is out and it’s fucking amazing. Keen followers will know that we’ve been singing the praises of Goddison Slay Addison Rae’s musical prowess since she released iconic debut single “Obsessed” back in 2021. Can she write music? No. Can she sing. Not reallllly. But she knows how record a fun, catchy track, and in an era where it seems like every new artist was personally raised by Taylor Swift, it’s refreshing to just hear some fun music that gets you out of your seat and onto the dancefloor (rather than out of your seat and into the bed to cry yourself to sleep).
The power of something being trendy is so insane. There is an entire school of people who literally base their entire interests – fashion, celebrity, music, etc. – on what is popular on TikTok. One of those people is my sister, who pretended to be obsessed with Jenna Ortega (“she’s MOTHER”) until I figured out she had never actually seen Wednesday or any other Ortega vehicle, she’s just chronically online and saw that Jenna Ortega was the popular celebrity du jour.
Anyways, it’s the same thing with Addison Rae’s music. When Obsessed (her debut single) dropped, it was PANNED — obviously in critical circles, but also on social media. Ahem, the original youtube comments:
However, over the years some unreleased singles leaked online and Ms. Rae developed a cult following who loved the unapologetic superficiality of her music (I am a member of that cult following). It’s just so funny how now that we’ve established it’s socially acceptable to enjoy her music, the same people who thought she was trash are now all over her. She’s gone from Rebecca Black to Britney Spears — although Rebecca Black’s new music also slays, but that’s another conversation for another day.
Hedi Klum Eats 900 Calories a Day (Allegedly)
I’m not sure if I fully believe this story because Klum has denied it and I can’t find a screenshot, but according to Page Six, Heidi Klum spoke on her Instagram story about how she only eats 900 calories per day in order to maintain her skinny-mini physique.
Behind the mere $5 paywall, see our extremely toxic commentary on Heidi Klum’s alleged 900-calorie diet as well as equally toxic commentary on Charlize Theron denying that she’s had plastic surgery. We appreciate you!
