Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande 's weather forecast for the MTV VMAs predicted a good time, and that's what we got. On Sunday night, the duo took the stage to perform their hit "Rain on Me" live for the first time, making pop goodness pour down from the heavens. Gaga sported a black and purple two-piece, and Grande rocked a matching purple crop top and skirt as they crooned the chart-topping track from Gaga's Chromatica album , which dropped in May. The set marked Gaga's first VMAs staging since she sang "Applause" from her LP Artpop in 2013 and Grande's first VMAs act since 2018 . During the show, Gaga also belted her jams "911" and "Stupid Love," making sure to include some epic wardrobe changes . It was a big night for the artists as they received nine nominations each , earning them the most nods. The duo took home the awards for best collaboration and song of the year for "Rain on Me." Gaga also snagged the a...

BTS had a night of firsts during the 2020 MTV VMAs on Sunday. Besides the TV debut of their first English-language single "Dynamite," their appearance marked their first-ever VMAs performance. The K-pop group did not disappoint, wearing some absolutely stunning vintage-inspired suits, looking straight out of an episode of Gossip Girl as they danced against a backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge. The track, whose vintage-themed music video premiered Aug. 28, is full of pop-culture references and lyrics that you can't help but sing along to - my personal favorite being "I'm diamond, you know I glow." Their performance wasn't the only highlight of the night. The group had four nominations , including best pop and best choreography for "ON," best group, and best K-pop; the latter two of which they won in both 2019 and 2020. One thing is for sure: BTS certainly knows how to put on a show. Could I watch a thousand hours of their performance? Probably...

We knew Keke Palmer was going to give us something amazing to open up the 2020 MTV VMAs , but damn, if she didn't inspire us. Not only did the Hustlers actress bring the funny and the looks, but she also delivered a powerful, heartfelt message. She opened the show with a tribute to the late and great Chadwick Boseman, who died at age 43 on Aug. 28 after a four-year battle with colon cancer. "We need to take the time to talk about the devastating loss of Chadwick Boseman, an actor whose talent and passion is a true inspiration to all the fans he touched and everyone he encountered," she said. "We dedicate tonight's show to the man whose spirit touched so many. He is a true hero, not just on screen but in everything he did. His impact lives forever." Palmer later emphasized the importance of unity and continued action amid the fight for social justice and equality. "We need to come together, and music - music has that power," she said. "Mus...

Lady Gaga praised Ariana Grande in a heartfelt acceptance speech at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards , and it suddenly feels as though it's raining on our cheeks. While wearing her second otherworldly outfit of the evening , the singer accepted the best collaboration award for her Chromatica song with Ariana, "Rain on Me" . "We turned our tears . . . into diamonds." "This means the world. Ariana and I really connected through this song," Gaga said. "Me and Ariana are truly soul sisters. Girl, this is for us. We've both been through some sh*t together, but we were willing to share that with each other, and Ari, I love you. I feel like when we were both in the studio, we turned our tears, that felt like endless rainfall, into diamonds. I will treasure those diamonds with you forever, honey." Watch the sweet speech ahead. Related: Lady Gaga Brought Major Moon Person Energy to the VMAs, and We Need Space to Take It In from POPSU...

It was Charlotte rapper DaBaby's first-ever performance for the VMAs on Sunday, and a stellar night for it; DaBaby is up for four awards this year, including artist of the year, best hip-hop video, and best choreography for his music video for "Bop." With The Jabbawockeez at his side, DaBaby performed a medley of hits "Peephole," "Blind," and "Rockstar." His performance was a nod to recent protests against police brutality, with DaBaby riding cuffed in the back of a cop car before ending the performance against a backdrop of fire. Beyond this, it also referenced the COVID-19 pandemic, as during "Peephole," the set included cardboard boxes, which were knocked over and turned out to be full of face masks. You can watch the story unfold for yourself with his full performance above. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/dababy-2020-mtv-vmas-performance-video-47736874

The 2020 MTV VMAs are technically airing "live" on Sunday night, but in reality, they're not actually live this year. Due to the restrictions from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the usually huge, live ceremony and night-of performances couldn't happen as they usually do, and reportedly, MTV's solution was to put together a broadcast assembled from prefilmed footage - including the award announcements themselves. The majority of the show was filmed ahead of time in New York City. Anyone traveling into New York to film performances or other content had to quarantine for three to four days before their scheduled filming time slot, and all crew on the set were also frequently tested for the virus in order to comply with CDC recommendations. For artists who didn't want to fly into New York or were unable to, MTV helped them film from Los Angeles using green screens to make it appear they were blending into the New York sets. "Performers in L...

Miley Cyrus returned to the MTV VMAs stage as she performed " Midnight Sky " live for the first time on Sunday night. Wearing a sexy black dress, the 27-year-old singer strutted her stuff as she crooned the lyrics about letting go of past loves . Of course, one of the best moments of the performance was when she ripped off the skirt of her dress and swung on a disco ball. Anyone else getting " Wrecking Ball flashbacks? The new track, which dropped on Aug. 13, seems to chronicle her most publicized romances over the past year, as she makes references to exes Liam Hemsworth, Kaitlynn Carter , and Cody Simpson. Seeing that she performed her emotional breakup song "Slide Away" during the show last year , her latest performance about embracing the single life really brings things full-circle.

Clad in his now-signature red-and-black suit, a bloodied and bruised The Weeknd performed his hit "Blinding Lights" from over 1,000 feet above Manhattan on the observation deck of Edge at Hudson Yards. The song is about drunk driving , and in a recent interview with Esquire , The Weeknd explained, "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you're intoxicated, and you're driving to this person and you're just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you're so lonely.

HBO's The Vow takes on the chilling activities of NXIVM . Mainly known as a self-help organization, NXIVM also operated multiple subgroups , including the children-oriented Rainbow Cultural Garden. While NXIVM is predominantly associated with the sex cult DOS, it has also been linked to the Rainbow Cultural Garden, a learning division established by NXIVM founder Keith Raniere in 2006 . Given NXIVM's sullied reputation, Rainbow Cultural Garden has, unsurprisingly, raised red flags over the years. Here's what it was and what we know about its whereabouts. In 2006, Raniere, despite having no background in education, billed Rainbow Cultural Garden as a "revolutionary child development program promoting children's cultural, linguistic, emotional, physical, and problem-solving potential." The child-care and education organization claimed that children, mainly younger ones, could learn seven languages at once through its teachings. The idea was to quickly switc...

How did Bonnie Piesse go from Star Wars to cult? That's one of many questions answered in HBO's The Vow , the much anticipated documentary tracing the rise and downfall of Keith Raniere's NXIVM organization , a self-help organization that concealed scams, secrets, and disturbing sexual rituals beneath its motivational image. Piesse was one of several members who began to realize that something was deeply wrong within NXIVM , and although she managed to leave the cult and avoid being pulled into its darkest corners , it cost her a lot. As you watch her story unfold on The Vow , along with numerous others, here are a few things you might want to know about her. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/who-is-bonnie-piesse-nxivm-cult-47721995

G-Eazy has been linked to a handful of gorgeous women over the years, from Lana Del Rey to Halsey . While his relationship with the "Be Kind" singer may be his most public, the 31-year-old rapper has since moved on and is now dating Ashley Benson . In fact, they might even be engaged ! The 30-year-old actress was recently spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand, sending engagement rumors into overdrive. Still, it's unclear if the bauble is actually an engagement ring or simply one of Ashley's many rings . So, while we wait to see if Ashley and G-Eazy decide to confirm the reports themselves, read all about G-Eazy's dating history ahead. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/who-has-g-eazy-dated-47725325

Succession 's Kieran Culkin was just 7 years old when he starred alongside brother Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone , so it's understandable he didn't fully grasp the concept of the film. During his Aug. 27 appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden , Culkin made sure to correct Corden's intel on the film before talking about how he thought it had been about "the kid who gets his head counted incorrectly." It wasn't until the movie's premiere that the plot clicked, with Culkin apparently saying, "Oh that makes sense because Mac was on set all the time." Just like the rest of us, the Culkins also watch Home Alone as part of their holiday traditions. "It has that same sort of nostalgia," Culkin explained when asked whether he could enjoy the movie like the rest of the world. To hear him talk more about the film and get a round of applause from Reggie Watts, you can watch his full interview above. from POPSUGAR Celebrity ht...

Denzel Washington is honoring Chadwick Boseman after the Black Panther star died at age 43 on Aug. 28, ending a four-year battle with colon cancer . In a statement on Aug. 29, Denzel reflected on Chadwick's impact . "He was a gentle soul and a brilliant artist, who will stay with us for eternity through his iconic performances over his short yet illustrious career," he said. "God bless Chadwick Boseman." Denzel shared a meaningful past with the late actor, as he paid for Chadwick and other Howard University students to attend an acting program at England's Oxford University years ago. In June 2019, Chadwick recalled Denzel's contribution while honoring the 65-year-old Training Day star at the 47th AFI Life Achievement Award tribute gala . "Many of you already know the story that Mr. Washington, when asked by Phylicia Rashad to join her in assisting nine theater students from Howard University who had been accepted to a summer acting program...

HBO's The Vow introduces viewers to a slew of people who were involved in Keith Raniere's NXIVM cult , including filmmaker Mark Vicente. As he tells his story in the documentary, he was introduced to NXIVM through its leadership seminars before getting pulled deeper into the organization and rising up through the hierarchy to a position of power, before learning of the cult's real activities and turning informant. Vicente - along with his wife, another former NXIVM member - is one of the main "characters" in The Vow , and it's easy to see why, given the depth of information he had on the organization. Here's what you need to know about him and what his life looks like now. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/who-is-mark-vicente-nxivm-cult-47721765

HBO's documentary The Vow follows the downfall of NXIVM , Keith Raniere's faux self-help cult, but it also raises questions about whether NXIVM is still operational now. Although the organization has sustained severe damage , thanks to the revelations about its abuses and its disturbing teachings, it's not entirely down for the count. The actual status of NXIVM is more complicated now, given that most of its leadership is currently facing legal consequences for the group's abuses. Their official website no longer exists, and an archived version from before it was taken down reads, in part, "It is with deep sadness that we inform you we are suspending all NXIVM/ESP enrollment , curriculum and events until further notice . . . While we are disappointed by the interruption of our operations, we believe it is warranted by the extraordinary circumstances facing the company at this time. We continue to believe in the value and importance of our work and look forward t...

Netflix has officially recast the voice of Missy Foreman-Greenwald, two months after Jenny Slate stepped down from the role on Big Mouth . Writer, producer, comedian and actor Ayo Edebiri has been tapped to replace Slate, and as Variety reported, the actress booked the role "just a few weeks ago." "I was definitely a very uncomfortable child, so I think the show speaks to that and a lot of those feelings, which still resonate with me as an adult," Edebiri told Variety . "I'm back home in my childhood bedroom right now and on my bookshelf in between A Series of Unfortunate Events is Bill Clinton's autobiography and Nelson Mandela's autobiography and a translation of The Iliad in Latin. I was a true dork. So I don't think I have to go too far to connect with Missy."
