It’s the same with Cardi B. Someone with a lot of natural charm and skill, but through overexposure she feels the need to play up her idiosyncrasies and top what she did before. Now she looks like a damn fool.

I liked Tiffany before she became the It girl. She was extremely charming and charismatic in her interview with Jimmy Kimmel last summer. But she’s playing up her persona to the point of shrill self-parody.

Wow. I didn’t notice this at all. How embarrassing.

They love the ingenues but make the guys prove themselves before allowing them into the club.

Oh God. The reaction to the Grammys from the Twitter set was hilarious. I wanted to tell them, “You do realize that this is the same Recording Academy that gave Jethro Tull an award for Best Heavy Metal album? That gave Shelby Lynne Best New Artist SIX albums into her career? And you’re still putting stock in their decisions?”

Frances reminds me of a white version of one of my aunts. Fierce but with a sweet softness that peeks through. Hey, at least this ceremony ended before midnight Eastern, but it still somehow felt interminable. They really went all in on politics, but a lot of it felt forced, like Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue.

Roger Deakins wins on his 14th try, and somewhere Susan Lucci waves her tiny hand and scoffs, “That’s nothing.”

I don’t know why it took them so long to do this.

Academy Award winner Kobe Bryant. What a time to be alive.

Whoopi’s going to hear about that from her bosses at ABC. They already slapped down Bellamy Young. The Oscar set is pretty cool. Eva Marie Saint looks AMAZING for 93. There are people in their 50s who look older.

Totally. Disney has too much riding on the American Idol reboot at this point, so they’re like, “Nothing to see here...moving right along...” I love a white tux, but not sure how I feel about this:

I’m not watching the E! coverage, but celebs are skipping him this year. It’s becoming a big disaster for E!

Ha.

The run of show: I’ll watch, but I’m not that invested this year. I did enjoy Get Out (and thought Catherine Keener deserved a supporting nod for the therapy/hypnosis scene alone), but I wasn’t blown away by it.

My sincere condolences.

This is gorgeous and moving.

I’d never seen Prakash Amritraj reporting on Tennis Channel, and my word, what a body:

If you’re in NYC soon...

I love the Four Tet remix of that.

Robert Gentry, Kin Shriner and Judith Barcroft have been very prolific, as was the late Larkin Malloy.

Thanks @slick jones. This is an awesome thread and resource.

What about Judith Chapman? She’s been around the block...
