Adele Will Perform at 2017 GRAMMYs
Adele has joined the 2017 Grammy's list of performers. She will perform a song from her latest album, 25. Other artists who'll be performing include John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban.
Adele has won ten Grammys and is nominated for five more at this year's ceremony including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Hello, Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for 25.
The GRAMMYs are coming to City, February 12th.
Adele performed last year at the Grammys and suffered technical difficulties. During a performance of "All I Ask" her microphone dropped onto a piano's keys and it threw off the sound system.
“We had the most complicated show on television. Period. End of story. With each musical performance, we change over the microphones, the wires... She did a great job and we certainly don’t like when those things happen, but those things happen sometimes.”
Adele told Ellen that she took it pretty hard and "cried pretty much all day" following the screw-up, adding:
“Next time I have any sound issues, I am going to start over... In fairness, I would have cried it it went really well... I always cry. I was so embarrassed...”
Jennifer Lopez Confirms Relationship With Drake
It's been officially confirmed: J-Lo and Drizzy are making new music together! Lopez opened up about her "working relationship" with Drake saying,
"We are... Well, we did! We did one song together! I don't know if we will do more. We will see!"
Back in December, rumors started flying that something romantic was going on between the two after Drake attended two of J-Lo's Vegas shows (back to back) followed by an intimate evening together... they also added fuel to the fire by sharing this image to their Instagram(s):
Kesha and Macklemore are Up to Something
Kesha is back home in Nashville doing her thing (singing) with a side of soul searching...
Check our more interviews like this on VICELAND's Noisey.
It's been five long years but a new Kesha album is coming.
Is she working with Macklemore? It sure looks like it!
Grammy award winning artist Macklemore shared this picture with a simple yet mysterious caption including a crystal ball and tiger emoji.
Kesha's posted a pic of a tiger to Instagram last week with the caption:
"I want cats to fill my 2017. I'm going to manifest cats."
Um. Okay! Maybe the two were just hanging out talking about their mutual love for cats?! The crystal ball emoji carrier more of a "something is coming" vibe as Zedd teased us with his Kesha collab, True Colors, over social media with the same emoji.
She's been teasing us with rumors of a new album which may or may not include cuts with rock band Eagles of Death Metal and a "Grammy award winning" artist... Hmm...
Ma-ck-le-more?? M-m-maybe?
My 2016 Christmas Wish List
This year has been overwhelming in many ways with the greatest gift being my Dad's return to health (to put it very simply). We all know that the best gifts are not material things but each year I make a blog post dedicated to things I want for Christmas. This year, that tradition continues...
This list could benefit that pregnant 30 something in your life and it's kinda fun (for me, anyway) to have digital evidence of things I'd asked for throughout the years.
Donating your time, money or any gently used items to the following causes is as much a gift to yourself as it is to the recipient. I strongly encourage supporting The Ottawa Mission and the Ottawa Humane Society.
Ok. On to the material list...
Now and forever - CARMEX! The best lip balm out there. Absolutely love this stuff. On average, I go through 8-10 jars per year.

I'm also on the hunt for a bathing suit top/rash guard (XL) to help keep me covered at the pool while Everett attends swim lessons - something I think everyone would appreciate (haha)!
