Kim Kardashian is fully embracing being a soccer mom!

Surprise – Jon Batiste and Suleika Jaouad are married!

A lot of the best moments from the Grammys weren’t seen on TV and we just got our hands on some great photos that were taken at the event!

Jon Batiste is one of the big winners of the night!

There were a bunch of celebs who were nominated for awards at the 2022 Grammys who did not attend the event.

John Hopewell Chief International CorrespondentWorld premiering in the main Canneseries competition, “El Inmortal – Gangs of Madrid” marks the latest original series from Movistar Plus, the Spanish pay TV/SVOD arm of Telefonica, made with Banijay’s DLO Producciones and Telemundo Streaming Studios.

GRAMMYs seemed to be full of surprises when it came to some of the night's big winners. At least, a few victories seemed to take the actual winners by surprise.Before Jon Batiste won Album of the Year and reacted with absolute shock and confusion, it was Doja Cat who was apparently caught off-guard when she and SZA won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, for their song «Kiss Me More.»SZA surprised everyone by managing to get up the GRAMMY stage safely despite walking with crutches and incredibly high heels — and got a sweet assist with her super long train from Lady Gaga.By the time she got up there, Doja Cat was just rushing over from the back of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and SZA laughingly joked, «Girl, you went to the bathroom for like five minutes, are you serious?”As it turns out, Doja Cat had taken the first chance she got to use the bathroom, and it just so happened to be when her category was about to be announced.»Listen, I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life," Doja Cat said, still trying to catch her breath, as the audience exploded with laughter.

Doja Cat praised SZA at the Grammys 2022 tonight (April 3) as the pair collected an award for their collaboration ‘Kiss Me More’.The 2021 single won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and was nominated alongside the likes of BTS, Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.Doja Cat was in the bathroom when the award was announced, with SZA taking to the stage first to accept the award. As her collaborator joined her moments later, she joked: “Bro, you were in the bathroom for five minutes, are you serious?”Addressing the audience, Doja said: “I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life. Thank you everybody.

Olivia Rodrigo recalled her childhood dream of winning a Grammy as she collected three awards at the 2022 event tonight (April 3).The pop star was nominated for seven awards going into the night and won Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Drivers License’ and Best Pop Vocal Album for ‘Sour’.While collecting the latter trophy, Rodrigo thanked the fans who have “completely changed my life over the past two years” and dedicated the award to her parents. “When I was nine years old, I told my mum I was going to be an Olympic gymnast even though I could barely do a cartwheel and she thought I was joking but I was super defensive,” she shared.“So the next week when I told her was going to win a Grammy, she was very supportive, even though I’m sure she thought it was just a little kid pipe dream.

Despite notching up a perfect score of 40 from the judges, Courtney Act and her dance partner Joshua Keefe failed to take home the Mirrorball Trophy in Sunday night’s grand finale of Dancing With The Stars: All Stars.  The pair were in line to become the first ever same-sex dance team to win any of the franchises of the show, but instead had to be happy with once again taking the runner-up position.Courtney (whose non-drag name is Shane Jenek) and Joshua danced a freestyle routine to Harry Styles’ Treat People with Kindness. Courtney admitted “It’s going to be tough to top our last grand final dance” and following their performance, told the judging panel that, “We wanted to bring a little Mardi Gras to the ballroom floor.”In the pre-performance clip, Courtney said, “I think what we will do differently in this dance is really focus on the technique and the dancing.”Joshua described the routine saying, “We’ve got lifts, we’ve got tricks, we’ve got about five different dance styles in there.
