Meanwhile, Ariana Grande gave an epic performance of her song “God Is a Woman” during the show. She was backed by 50 diverse female dancers and brought out her mother, her grandmother and her aunt at the end of the song.

The best line of the night went to Tiffany Hadish, “Camila Cabello is nominated for five VMAs. And for those watching back home… hi, Fifth Harmony!” she quipped. Cabello smiled awkwardly as the camera panned to her face.
Madonna gave a tribute to Aretha Franklin, except.. it was really just a tribute.. to Madonna? All she did was talk about herself.

She described herself as a “skinny-a** white girl” and discussed her days as a struggling artist living in a crackhouse. What?!

If Zoolander taught us anything it’s that you do not piss off models, but that is exactly what Kendall “Mugatu” Jenner has done
Models are in an uproar about Kendall’s comments about doing runway shows. Jenner said she was never one of those girls who could do “like, 30 shows a season” because she’s “selective” about her work. Swimsuit model Vita Sidorkina wrote, “Maybe ‘those girls’ need to pay their bills, that’s why they’re doing 30 shows?” Jenner’s rep said her quote was taken out of context.
Katy Perry wants the deposition she made in Kesha’s lawsuit against Dr. Luke to be kept sealed.
