Bebe Rexha Calls Out Designers

“You go to any big designer. I had my team hit out a lot of designers, and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m ‘too big.’ Literally, I’m ‘too big.'”

Bebe Rexha is speaking out. The pop songstress called out designers on Monday for refusing to dress her for the 61st Annual Grammy Awards on February 10.

The 29-year-old “Meant to Be” singer, who earned her first Grammy nomination in December, posted a video on Instagram about the matter at hand. She explained how her team reached out to multiple designers, but they rejected the opportunity to create a custom red carpet outfit for her because she’s “too big.” She elaborated on the issue further in the post’s caption.

“If you don’t like my fashion style or my music that’s one thing. But don’t say you can’t dress someone that isn’t a runway size,” Rexha wrote. “Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less than by their size. We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys.”

In the short clip’s caption on Twitter, Rexha said the rude designers won’t hold her back, “My size 8 a** is still going to the Grammys.”

Rexha is nominated for both Best New Artist and Country Duo/Performance for her collab with Florida Georgia Line.

Since her post, a number of designers have apparently reached out to the singer to volunteer their services. Designers such as August Getty, Tanya Taylor and Elizabeth Kennedy all replied that they would love to outfit Rexha for the event.

Fellow singer Demi Lovato praised Rexha in the comments section of her video. “F**king preach!!!” Lovato wrote. “Love this and you for speaking your mind and using your voice!”

“We are beautiful any size! Small or large!” she added. “Anddddd my size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY.

Pornhub Released A Valentine’s Day Album, And It’s Not Great

“To help ease the stress of planning the perfect Valentine’s Day, we wanted to show our fans some love by curating an album so seductive that it would make Cupid himself blush — and is guaranteed to end your night with a bang.”

 

Pornhub is not only supplying customers with the right moves for Valentine’s day. It’s also trying to supply their audience with the essential tunes.

This year, Pornhub is releasing their first album, featuring some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names. According to TMZ, they’ve sought the help of people like Tekashi69, Blac Chyna, Lil Xan, PnB Rock, Asian Doll, 24hrs, MadeinTYOand DJ Akademiks.

All the songs remain rather NSFW — with the lyrical content all revolving around some rather explicit activities. Regardless of the content, it’s a unique move for the largest adult website, and marks a well-timed venture for the organization considering the growing influence hip-hop has had over the past several years.”

On the album, Corey Price, the Vice President of Pornhub said, “To help ease the stress of planning the perfect Valentine’s Day, we wanted to show our fans some love by curating an album so seductive that it would make Cupid himself blush—and is guaranteed to end your night with a bang. With over 100 million people visiting Pornhub daily, we know what gets people in the mood. When you feel like the night is about to reach its crescendo, dim the lights and throw this album on. You’ll thank us later.”

Teyana Taylor’s Ballroom Take On ‘Cinderella’

If you don’t know, let me educate you. It stands for “Work This P-ssy” and it’s the final track off of Taylor’s KTSE album. The song is practically made for Ball culture, which is known for its voguing and strutting, and Teyana is ready to unleash the House of Petunia!

With her quadruple-threat credentials, Teyana Taylor is something of a unicorn in the world of music. Her most recent album, K.T.S.E., which she released last year on Kanye West’s label GOOD music, garnered much critical acclaim; she’s been a force on the runway as well; first at Yeezy in 2016, then at Philipp Plein two years ago, where she had the audience enrapt, vogueing along the catwalk. Did we mention that she’s not only a peerless dancer (need I remind you of that “Fade” music video?), but also an actress, too, playing a role in last year’s The After Party. With her new self-directed video for “WTP,” Taylor proves she’s slick behind the camera, too—and that officially makes her a quintuple (!) threat.

The video is a kind of Cinderella story focusing on the new York Ball scene. Taylor plays the inconspicuous newcomer, who reluctantly takes on her more experienced colleagues. With a little encouragement from her fairy godmother (also known as Mykki Blanco), she finally takes the plunge to throw herself onto the dance floor with a red hot wig, a black pvc bikini set with chain links, fishnet tights and an emerald fur coat.

You think you know the story of Cinderella… you don’t until you have watched Teyana Taylor’s “WTP” music video.

Jenny Lewis is ‘deeply troubled’ by Ryan Adams’ sexual misconduct allegations

“I am deeply troubled by Ryan Adams’ alleged behavior. Although he and I had a working professional relationship, I stand in solidarity with the women who have come forward.”

Adams has been accused by several women of sexual misconduct, manipulation and abuse. Bridgers and Adams’ ex-wife, Mandy Moore, were among those whose featured in the report.

An exposé published by the New York Times on Feb. 13 accuses Adams of sexual misconduct, emotional abuse and manipulative behavior by a number of female musicians, including his ex-wife Mandy Moore and rising artist Phoebe Bridgers. One allegation comes from a female called Ava, who says she began talking to Adams online when she was only 14 years old. Their communication went from music to explicit texting and, at age 16, a Skype call in which he allegedly exposed himself to the teenager.

Jenny Lewis has spoken out in response to the sexual and emotional misconduct allegations against longtime musical collaborator Ryan Adams.

Lewis, who just unveiled her new song “Heads Gonna Roll” (on which Adams has a production credit) this week, released the following statement on Twitter Friday night (Feb. 15): “I am deeply troubled by Ryan Adams’ alleged behavior. Although he and I had a working professional relationship, I stand in solidarity with the women who have come forward.”

Over the weekend, Bridgers — who was one of several women who came forward to the New York Times in an exposé that levelled various claims against Adams — took to her Instagram to address the situation.

Her lengthy Instagram post reads as follows:

It’s been a weird week and I wanted to say a couple things. Thank you from my whole fucking heart to my friends, my bands, my mom. They all supported and validated me. They told me that what had happened was fucked up and wrong, and that I was right to feel weird about it. I couldn’t have done this without them. Ryan had a network too. Friends, bands, people he worked with. None of them held him accountable. They told him, by what they said or by what they didn’t, that what he was doing was okay. They validated him. He couldn’t have done this without them. Guys, if your friend is acting fucked up, call them out. If they’re actually your friend, they’ll listen. That’s the way this all gets better.

Ex-wife Moore, who hasn’t released a full-length album since 2009, when she married Adams, says “music was a point of control” in her relationship with Adams, and that she was discouraged from working with other producers or managers. This came with emotional and psychological abuse, she says: “He would always tell me, ‘You’re not a real musician, because you don’t play an instrument.'”

Ryan Adams’ guitarist Todd Wisenbacker

“This Is Us” star Mandy Moore — against the musician “sickening and embarrassing.”

Adams was accused of abuse by several women in a New York Times report published last week. It featured interviews with multiple women accusing Adams of behavior ranging from emotional manipulation to sexual misconduct, including accounts from his ex-wife Mandy Moore, Phoebe Bridgers, singer-songwriter Courtney Jaye, and others. Adams denied the allegations, addressing the Times report on Twitter.

Todd Wisenbaker, Adams’ guitarist, also shared a statement about Adams. In a post on Instagram, he wrote, “this is incredibly hard for me to do but Ryan please get help.” “There were times when I chose to believe his insane version of the truth because it was easier than believing that anyone is capable of being this much of a monster,” Wisenbaker continued. “I’ve recently learned that pretty much everything he’s ever told me is a lie upon a lie upon a lie. There are excuses and denials for everything.” Read Wisenbaker’s statement in full below.

“None of them held him accountable,” she said. “They told him, by what they said or by what they didn’t, that what he was doing was okay. They validated him. He couldn’t have done this without them. Guys, if your friend is acting fucked up, call them out. If they’re actually your friend, they’ll listen. That’s the way this all gets better.”

He continued: “I’ve recently learned that pretty much everything he’s ever told me is a lie upon a lie. There are excuses and denials for everything.

“Some time ago, I told him to get help and he asked me to help him. I don’t regret and will never regret trying to help someone in real need. I believe in forgiveness, redemption and recovery, but my life has become a complete shitstorm of someone else’s utter delusion.”

Weisenbackr added: “I didn’t want to say anything because I’m actively afraid for the safety of my family, but I do realise that I have a responsibility to speak up. The women that spoke up are brave beyond words.”
