Episode 7 of the 2021 series WandaVision features the catchy jingle “Agatha All Along,” written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (aka the duo behind Frozen‘s “Let It Go”). The song is sung by Agatha Harkness actress Kathryn Hahn, and while the song is just over a minute long, it took the internet by storm upon its release. So it’s only fitting that the Recording Academy nominated “Agatha All Along” for a Grammy in the Best Visual Media category. It marks the first time a TV show has been in the category in eight years, seeing as most of the nominations come from movies. The last TV show to appear in the category was Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Visual Media for their 2014 song “You’ve Got Time” by Regina Spektor.
Hahn was surprised at the popularity of “Agatha All Along” when it first came out. Hahn told Seth Meyers in an interview that she wasn’t aware of it’s viral success until her team informed her. “I don’t have social media, so the whole thing was like filtered down through all this,” Hahn said. “I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?!’ It’s so funny. Meanwhile, I’m outside scooping dog crap, scooping cat crap. The whole thing is so bonkers right now.”

When ABBA announced that the band’s first album in 40 years would be released this year, ABBA member Benny Anderson said that “we’re truly sailing in uncharted waters.” He wasn’t kidding. Since the group’s inception in 1972, they’ve sold hundreds of millions of records, clocked global Platinum status on each of their nine albums, charted countless ubiquitous hits, been covered by every style of band imaginable, and even inspired an entire Broadway musical (Mama Mia!) based on their music. Heck, they even have their own museum! But for some curious reason, they’ve never garnered a Grammy nomination(!)… until now.
“I Still Have Faith In You,” the lead single to Voyage, ABBA’s first album in forty years, not only received a Grammy Award nomination but it also landed in the top-tier Record Of The Year category. And when the Grammy Awards ceremony goes down on January 31 next year, the quartet will be up against artists like Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga for the award. The song’s lyrics feel prescient today, to say the least:
“I still have faith in you
And I will say
I never really thought I’d feel this way
But I remind myself
Of who we are
How inconceivable it is to reach this far”
While ABBA took a long hiatus from 1982 to 2016, they’ve never left public consciousness worldwide. This nomination is long overdue for the group, especially since they were actually inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2015.
What makes a social media star? Usually it’s a perfect blend of direct honesty, zesty wit and a down-to-earth way of communicating on the fly. So really, is it any surprise that sensational music icon Dionne Warwick has won the title Queen of Twitter? I think her thousands upon thousands of followers—or as she calls them, her “babies”—would give a resounding “no.”
“The Today Show” recently interviewed Warwick to discuss adding internet fame to her many, many, many accolades. The pop icon noted that learning the platform gave her “a chance to to meet some really wonderful kids … and some grown ups that finally figured out how to do it.”
“Auntie” Dionne first came to Twitter at the suggestion of her social media savvy niece, Brittani Warwick. Brittani, also Dionne’s branding director, knew her auntie’s inherent “nosiness” would be well received. She told People, “The great thing about Aunt Dionne is she brings such joy just by being herself, even if she’s being very firm and stern with you, it’s through love.”
Though she is “not writing a bio,” Dionne has been delighting celebrities, corporations and fans alike. Everyone is fair game.
Revisiting some of her top-tier tweeting moments—both infamous and obscure—it’s easy to see why this 80-year-old woman is dominating the app while making friends (not to mention endorsement offers) along the way.
The tweet to Snoop Dogg that started it all.
How do send a tweet to @SnoopDogg? Did I do this correctly?
Warwick must have gotten the hang of the platform pretty quickly. Only two days later she jokingly called out Chance the Rapper’s stage name.
“Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.” She went on to start calling herself “Dionne the Singer.”
…and The Weeknd…
The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly? @theweeknd
What started as social media comedy has now turned into a collaboration. Dionne (the singer), Chance the Rapper and The Weeknd have a new song coming out this week (on Nov 26). The single, titled “Not Impossible,” will go to support charities SocialWorks, Hunger: Not Impossible and Kind Music Academy; and it will help launch 12 Days of Giving, a campaign focused on keeping those in need warm and fed during the cold winter months. Warwick always uses her imminent power for good.
Warwick’s tweets (or “twotes,” as she prefers to call them) have made such a digital splash that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told her he wanted Warwick on his staff, referring to her as “Employee of the Month.” Dionne immediately let the world know about her new position.
When she gave some loving advice to a stranger
Sometimes life will throw a bit of dust our way, so get out the pledge and give it a big swipe. A bit of prayer can be the answer too. 🥰 https://t.co/ifxOoanye0
A kinship was already forged when Warwick initially tweeted to Taylor Swift wishing her good day. But she also weighed in on the case of Taylor’s missing red scarf (the one Jake Gyllenhaal was rumored to still have post-breakup). She even offered to pay postage for Gyllenhaal to return it.
The whole thing sparked an online debate as to whether or not the scarf was really a scarf at all, or whether it was actually a metaphor for Taylor’s … well … let’s just say something else that can be lost but not returned.
Her hilarious and “unnecessary” brand deal audition
If these youngsters can secure brand deals, so can I. Nobody asked for this, but here is my audition tape for @Oreo, @Popeyes, @BushsBeans, and @Hellmanns.
She told Twitter: “All these children, babies, youngsters, are grabbing on all of these wonderful commercial that they’re doing. somethings wrong with this picture. Why aren’t these brands coming after people with my age demographic?”
Then she decided that maybe they were waiting for an audition.
Her video included a hilarious throwback to Hellmann’s mayonnaise, where she reiterated that she was a hell no for mayo in coffee.
All of the brands replied back to tell Miss Warwick that an audition was not necessary. Rightfully so.
People were quick to eat up this branded co-op idea.
One person tweeted “I would buy them in a heartbeat.”
Though Dionne promises not to pick a weird flavor, I think people would even flock to an Oreo that tasted like salmon, if her image appeared on the packaging.
When she championed Megan Thee Stallion, and women everywhere
When one person responded to Dionne’s tweet saying “miss Warwick, you’re a hot girl??? what you know about Megan?” she had the perfect response:
“I know that she is a smart young lady with a good heart!” she replied.
She added “I don’t know what a ‘hot girl’ is, but women support women in this house! I am happy to see kind people receive recognition. That’s all. (I’m turning 80. Please do not tell me what a ‘hot girl’ is ).”
Her sweet reminder that she’s spreading love, not throwing shade
I am only joking around and having fun on here. If you ever “catch shade” just know that Auntie still loves you. ❤️
I think this person sums up our collective response: “I’ll take Auntie shade or love or whatever you throw my way.”
And lastly, her SNL appearance, meeting “herself”
Dionne’s Twitter fame is so vast that “Saturday Night Live” featured a scene where Dionne Warwick tells herself (played by Ego Nwodim) “Darling, I’m not perfect. I’m just very very good.”
Indeed she is. Thank you Miss Warwick for brightening up the internet and bridging the gap between generations, inspiring everyone to engage in more lighthearted interactions.
In DC’s upcoming animated film, DC League of Super-Pets, it’s not a bird, plane, or Superman himself that taking center stage. Instead, it’s none other than Clark Kent’s lovable powered-up pooch, Krypto — and with voice acting provided by wrestler-turned-certifiable-movie-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a trailer that looks equal parts cute and comedic.
First announced back in 2018,DC League of Super-Pets follows Krypto as he embarks (emphasis on the “barks”) on a journey to protect the world and rescue his owner. However, Krypto soon discovers he can’t do it alone and therefore must assemble his own furry Justice League to help save the day. The only issue? Being raised by Superman doesn’t quite make for a pup that fits in with his peers. Krypto must then learn how to be a dog in addition to being an all-mighty hero, and find a way to convince “a rag-tag shelter pack — Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel — to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the superheroes.”
However, while the superhero team Krypto ultimately forms might seem a bit, well, all over the place, the cast bringing these animals to life is anything but. In addition to Johnson, stars Kevin Hart, Kate McKinnon, John Krasinski, Vanessa Bayer, Natasha Lyonne, Diego Luna, Thomas Middleditch, Ben Schwartz, and Keanu Reeves are all set to star in the upcoming animated film.
Jared Stern, the writer behind The Lego Batmanmovie and Happy Anniversary, is set to write DC League of Super-Pets, as well as co-direct it alongside Warner Bros. Sam Levine. Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions is also backing the project, with Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia set to produce, while John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, and Nicholas Stoller are on board to executive produce.
DC League of Super-Pets hits theaters May 20, 2022, just two months before Johnson makes his official DCCU debut in Black Adam.
Across all categories, a lot of folks got nominated, and naturally, a lot of them have taken to social media to share their reactions to the news.
Batiste was pretty thrilled with his feat, writing, “WOW!! Thank you God!! I love EVERYBODY! I’m so grateful to my collaborators and to my ancestors [crying emojis] 11!”

Lil Nas X took a break from joking on Twitter to tweet, “don’t have to win a single award, truly thankful for all the insight this year has brought me. and thankful for the journey. love u guys.”

So many awesome new artists (and not so new artists) got nominations at the #Grammys this year! In particular feeling over the moon stoked for @Jbrekkie who made a staggeringly good album, wrote a heart wrenching book and is a rad human and deserves all the praise she’s getting.
we wrote this song as a message of gratitude to everyone in our lives, and it’s only appropriate that this grammy nomination came during thanksgiving week. thank you to everyone at the @RecordingAcad for including us in this category for the 4th year in a row. pic.twitter.com/6HoSZ5XpeL
Memphis-born Fresco Trey is “Fresh Off A Heartbreak,” so of course he stopped by UPROXX Sessions to deliver a melancholy performance of the Heartbreak Diaries single. Half crooning, half rapping, Trey details his efforts to get over a bad breakup by adopting an indulgent lifestyle of drinking and materialism.
Like many of today’s up-and-coming hip-hop talents, Trey made the switch from college athletics — he was recruited to play college basketball before deciding to instead pursue his dream of rap stardom. After self-releasing an EP and networking behind-the-scenes for a few years, he was able to parlay an underground buzz into a record deal with Warner this year, under which he released his debut major-label EP, Heartbreak Diaries. He’s still just at the outset of his career, but he’s proven a gift for catchy melodies and relatable subjects. When he finds a sound that sets him apart from the crowd of like-minded rising talents, he could very well be a star.

In his controversial Netflix special The Closer, Dave Chappelle brings up his friend and fellow comedian Kevin Hart, who lost his job hosting the 2019 Academy Awards due to resurfaced homophobic tweets. “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay,’” he wrote in one from 2011, while in another from 2010, he said someone’s profile pic looks “like a gay bill board for AIDS.” In discussing the backlash to the tweets (of which there are many), Chappelle claimed that “clearly Kevin was joking” and that Hart’s only crime was “breaking an unwritten and unspoken rule of show business… you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people,” his term for the LGBTQ community.
Hart was asked about Chappelle’s comments in an interview with the New York Times. “That’s my brother. My relationship with Dave is one that I value, respect, and appreciate,” he said. “In our profession, it’s a crab-in-a-barrel mentality. There’s this perception that there can only be one star or one funny guy, and we’re always pitted against each other. When you have that confidence and security to embrace another talent and stand by another talent, it says a lot about who you are. Chappelle’s operating at a different frequency, man, and I couldn’t be prouder of him.”
Hart also claimed that the “good dude” doesn’t “have a hateful bone in his body,” even though by declaring himself “team TERF,” as he does in the special, Chappelle sided with groups with anti-trans agendas. As for whether he sees any similarities between what he went and what’s happening to Chappelle now, Hart replied, “I was human. You can’t lose that. And that’s what happening today: We’re losing that in the attempt to say, ‘I’m right and you’re wrong and that’s it.’ I don’t understand how we ever evolve.”
Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Trump Jr. might want to savor every moment of this year’s holiday season, as they could be celebrating it behind bars in the near future. At least that’s what former longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen thinks.
As Raw Story reports, Cohen—Donald Trump’s former lawyer/fixer, who recently finished serving out a prison sentence for his shady dealings as part of the former president’s inner circle—told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota that he thinks more of Trump’s cronies will end up seeing the inside of a jail cell as a result of their shady dealings and other shenanigans, and he specifically called out Eric, Ivanka, and Don Jr.
In 2018, via a plea deal, Cohen pled guilty to a whole lotta fraud, including campaign finance violations, for the role he played in facilitating hush-money payments to the likes of Stormy Daniels in order to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. Cohen was ultimately sentenced to three years in federal prison, along with a $50,000 fine and disbarment. And while the same evidence that clearly showed he was guilty also seemed to confirm that it was Trump himself who had approved these payments, Cohen is the only member of Team Trump to suffer the consequences. When Camerota asked Cohen what it felt like to be the scapegoat, he made a pretty bold prediction, claiming: “I may have been prosecuted, and right now I am the only one. But I will not be the only one.”
When Camerota pressed him further and qualified that he meant specifically for the hush money cover-up, Cohen replied “for this crime and others.” When pushed to name who else would be prosecuted, Cohen replied, “Well, I’m going to leave that to the district attorney and the attorney general to continue their investigation.” So Camerota just asked him, point blank: Who else was involved? Cohen’s reply:
“Well, there were quite a few people that were involved. Eric Trump was involved. Obviously [Trump Organization CFO] Allen Weisselberg, who’s already under indictment. Don Jr. [and] Ivanka. There were a slew of people that were involved in this. I was certainly not alone. This wasn’t a one-on-one conversation with Donald. It was a much bigger group—let’s just leave it at that.”
Tiffany’s probably feeling good right about now.
Camerota wasn’t quite content to leave it there, however, so she asked Cohen if he believed that Donald Trump would be indicted at some point based on what he knows about the investigations and the cooperation he has provided, to which Cohen said: “I do.”
Cohen: I do want to make this promise to you and to all your viewers, I may have been prosecuted and right now I am the only one but I will not be the only one Question: Who else was involved? Cohen: …Eric Trump was involved.. Don Jr, Ivanka pic.twitter.com/fNtPSoy4iM
While Twitter is up in arms over BTS not getting an Album Of The Year nomination for Be, the timeless Tony Bennett showed them how it’s done by claiming one at the age of 95.
The singer is 95 years, 3 months, and 20 days old today to be exact as he becomes the oldest artist to ever be nominated for an award in the general field. His duet album of Cole Porter songs with Lady Gaga, Love For Sale, claimed an Album Of The Year nomination, as well as nods for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The pair’s work this past year claimed six total nominations, with their rendition of “I Get A Kick Out Of You” also being recognized in the field for Record of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Music Video.
Mr. Tony Bennett makes history as the oldest artist ever nominated in a general field category at the #GRAMMYs, and second oldest overall. He won his first Grammy in 1963. pic.twitter.com/FkHDYfEwzS
It’s a heckuva feat for Bennett, who is a Grammy Awards fixture and has been struggling with Alzheimer’s disease as of late. In his legendary career, he has claimed 20 awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001 and his first Grammy in 1963 for the classic “I Left My Heart In San Francisco.” Working with Lady Gaga has been a successful endeavor for Bennett, as the pair won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for their first album, Cheek To Cheek.
And for the trivia-minded, the only artist older than Bennett who has ever been nominated for a Grammy, general field or otherwise, was 97-year old blues pianist Pinetop Perkins, with his album Joined At The Hip, which eventually won the award. Perkins passed away a month later and like Bennett, is also a previous recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
There are so many streamers to keep up with (some might say too many) but Paramount+ is making its way to the top of the pack. The fairly young platform has a ton of TV shows and movies in its catalog already, and it’s only adding to the binge-watching pile this December.
The most exciting new series is likely to be Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel. The Kevin Costner-led drama is a fan favorite, and this next installment takes viewers back about 100 years to see how the Dutton family built its dynasty. For comedy lovers, a couple of South Park specials and a Reno 911! episode that sees the group searching for the figure behind QAnon should keep you fairly jolly.
Here’s everything coming to Paramount+ this month.
1883 (Paramount+ Original series streaming 12/19)
Taylor Sheridan’s hit series Yellowstone gets a prequel in this historically-set drama that’s just as gritty and exciting as the Kevin Costner-led original. Faith Hill and Tim Mcgraw play Margaret and James Dutton in this era of the family’s history as they travel out West to escape poverty and find the land of promise. Sam Elliot plays a sheriff they’ll have dealings with as they try to build a dynasty in a truly unforgiving environment.
Reno 911! The Hunt for QANON (Paramount+ Original series streaming 12/23)
The deputies of the Reno Sheriff’s Department return for this special that tasks them with hunting down Q, the figure responsible for the QAnon movement. Their investigation takes so bad turns along the way and ends with them stuck at a QAnon convention at sea before escaping to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
