Clive Davis is reliable for sure ... it's Grammy night Sunday, and he threw his annual Pre-Grammy gala as promised Saturday night, and the stars showed up.

Megan Thee Stallion, Janelle Monáe, Paris Hilton, and Lana Del Rey were there for starters. Serena Williams, Ice Spice, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Julia Garner and Green Day were all present. But wait, there's more ... Jay-Z, Beyonce, Scottie Pippen, Martina Navratilova, and Nancy Pelosi all made their entrances.

It's been an annual tradition since 1976, and it's been one big celebration ... except in 2012, when hours before the event, Whitney Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

BTW ... we're not finished with the guest list ... Mariah Carey, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Andra Day, Keke Palmer, Kylie Minogue, Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Bebe Rexha, Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, Victoria Monét, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, Coco Jones, Joan Collins, Katharine McPhee, David Foster, Selena Gomez's boyfriend Benny Blanco, Machine Gun Kelly, Gladys Knight, Diplo, Lenny Kravitz, Tim Malone, Don Lemon, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Jessica Betts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Mark Ronson, Babyface, Troye Sivan, Maluma and Meryl Streep.

Ayo Edebiri hizo un mea culpa en "SNL" el sábado por la noche, pidiéndole disculpas a JLo por haber insultado sus habilidades como cantante hace unos años.

La estrella de "The Bear" fue la anfitriona, pero el momento más destacado fue el sketch de "Jeopardy", llamado "¿Por qué lo dijiste?". Los concursantes se enfrentaron a mensajes crueles en redes sociales y el anfitrión Kenan Thompson exigió una explicación.

A Ayo le mostraron una foto de una mujer disfrutando de la lluvia, y según el sketch, ella había comentado: "Muérete".  Es bastante gracioso, pero Ayo dijo esto: "Está mal publicar comentarios malvados solo por influencia o abrir la boca en un pódcast y no considerar el impacto porque tienes 24 años y eres estúpido, pero creo que hablo por todos cuando digo que a partir de ahora vamos a ser mucho más reflexivos sobre lo que publicamos en línea".

Ayo no hizo referencia a Jennifer López, pero es obvio lo que quiere decir. Como informó TMZ, Ayo estuvo en el pódcast "Scam Goddess" en 2020 y llamó a la carrera musical de JLo "una larga estafa". Ha habido mucha conversación a partir de estos comentarios desde entonces.

Kyle Richards was sitting front and center at Morgan Wade's concert Saturday in Tennessee ... recording almost every moment of the country singer on stage.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star showed up to the small auditorium at the County Music Hall of Fame in Nashville and parked herself in a second-row seat among 100 other attendees. Of course, her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, was nowhere in sight.

A few minutes after Kyle arrived solo to the venue, Morgan stepped on stage with her bandmate, Clint Wells, and they put on an hour-long performance.

TMZ obtained video of the gig, which captured Kyle using a cell phone to zoom in and record Morgan belting out her tunes. Our sources say Kyle seemed to enjoy the music, bopping her head to the sounds.

We're told Morgan in between tracks acknowledged her family who was also in the crowd, but not Kyle, although it was not meant as a diss.

Safe to say things are going just swimmingly for the two BFFs ... but not so much for Kyle and Mauricio.

Ayo Edebiri did a mea culpa on "SNL" Saturday night ... circuitously apologizing to JLo for throwing shade on her singing skills a few years back.

"The Bear" star took up hosting duties, but the standout moment was the "Jeopardy" skit, which was called -- "Why'd You Say It?" The contestants were confronted with mean/snarky/cruel social media posts and host Kenan Thompson demanded an explanation.

Ayo was shown a pic of a woman enjoying the rain, and, according to the skit, she had commented, "Die."  Funny enough, but Ayo said this -- "It's wrong to leave mean comments or post mean comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast and you don't consider the impact because you are 24, and stupid, but I think, I speak for everyone when I say that from now on, we're gonna be a lot more thoughtful about what we post online."

Ayo didn't reference Jennifer Lopez, but it's obvious what she did here. As TMZ reported, Ayo was on the "Scam Goddess" podcast back in 2020 and called JLo's music career "one long scam," saying she could carry a note and might not sing all her tracks. There have been long-running theories on this, and Ayo played into it.

La mamá de Blueface, como la mayoría de las madres, sabe exactamente lo que su hijo necesita en una pareja, ¡¡¡y ha puesto sus ojos en Megan Thee Stallion!!!

Conversamos con Karlissa Saffold afuera de la Cárcel Central de Hombres en Los Ángeles, donde su hijo está en custodia, y le dijo a nuestro fotógrafo que está manifestando a una nueva mujer en la vida de Blue para cuando sea liberado.

Blueface tiene un par de baby mamas y un montón de chicos malos en su vida, pero Karlissa quiere que eso cambie y explica por qué las mujeres que han estado con él lo están agobiando, claramente refiriéndose a Chrisean Rock.

Karlissa dice que Megan está más al nivel de Blueface, y se los imagina galanteando juntos por Europa.

Como hemos informado, Blueface estará entre rejas hasta el verano por violar su libertad condicional debido a una agresión en 2021, por lo que Karlissa se está adelantando un poco a los hechos, pero una madre puede soñar.

El verano es el momento perfecto para visitar Europa. Por si acaso ...

De todos modos, Karlissa está enviando estas vibraciones al universo, pues piensa que los signos astrológicos de Megan y Blueface son un buen partido.

No está claro si Megan se siente de la misma manera, no es que ella tenga un gran historial con los raperos.

Blueface's mom, like most moms, knows exactly what her son needs in a mate ... and she's set her sights on Megan Thee Stallion!!!

We got Karlissa Saffold outside Men's Central Jail in L.A., where her son is in custody, and she told our photog she's manifesting a new woman in Blue's life ... for when he's released, of course.

Blueface has a couple baby mamas and a bunch of baddies in his life, but Karlissa wants him to trade up ... explaining why the women he's been with are weighing him down, and clearly referring to Chrisean Rock.

Karlissa says Megan's more on Blueface's level, and she's envisioning them gallivanting across Europe together.

As we've reported, Blueface is stuck behind bars until the summer at least -- the result of violating his probation for a 2021 assault -- so, Karlissa's getting a little ahead of herself, but a mother can dream!

Summer is the perfect time to visit, Europe. Just sayin' ...

Anyways, Karlissa is sending the vibes out into the universe, and she thinks Blueface and Megan's astrological signs are a good match, too.

Unclear if Megan feels the same way -- it's not like she has a great track record with rappers.

Kanye West is free to spew antisemitic hate because at this point it's safe to say he will never be canceled ... at least that's the feeling among some people in entertainment.

As part of our new documentary on Kanye -- premiering Monday at 9/8c on FOX -- we asked Bill Maher, The Game and Angela Yee if cancel culture will ever come for Ye ... and the answer is a resounding "NO" -- for several reasons.

Bill says the Angel of Death seems to simply pass over Kanye's house ... pun intended .. because others in Hollywood have had their careers derailed for much less egregious behavior.

The Game says it's all about Kanye's mentality ... telling us Ye doesn't fear cancel culture and thus can't fall victim ... no matter what he says, about Jewish people or otherwise.

For Angela, Kanye's already blown way past the line in the sand and at this point he would have to do something truly horrific, like committing a crime for example, to truly be canceled.

Kanye West es libre de vomitar todo el odio antisemita que desee porque a estas alturas es casi seguro decir que nunca será cancelado, al menos ese es el sentimiento entre algunas personalidades del mundo del entretenimiento.

Como parte de nuestro nuevo documental sobre Kanye, que se estrena el lunes a las 9/8c en FOX, le preguntamos a Bill Maher, The Game y Angela Yee si la cultura de la cancelación vendría alguna vez por Ye y la respuesta es un rotundo "NO", por varias razones.

Bill dice que el Ángel de la Muerte parece simplemente pasar por encima de la casa de Kanye, lo que es un juego de palabras porque otros en Hollywood han visto sus carreras descarriladas por un comportamiento mucho menos atroz.

The Game dice que todo recae sobre la mentalidad de Kanye. Nos dice que Ye no tiene miedo de la cultura de la cancelación y, por lo tanto, no puede ser víctima. No importa lo que diga sobre el pueblo judío o de cualquier tipo.

Para Angela, Kanye ya ha sobrepasado los límites y en este punto tendría que hacer algo realmente horrible, como cometer un crimen, por ejemplo, para ser realmente cancelado.

Es ese momento del año otra vez ... La noche de los Grammys está a punto de comenzar y para prepararse tenemos un resumen con algunos de los mejores momentos de estos 66 años de historia de la ceremonia.

Ya se trate de Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift o Lionel Richie, los Premios Grammy están siempre llenos de un montón de estrellas, y más de unos cuantos momentos del tipo, "¿puedes creer lo que acaba de pasar?"

Nota importante para todas las estrellas en la noche de los Grammys, ¡recuerden llevar pantalones! Puede parecer un consejo obvio, pero al parecer nadie le dijo a Steve Martin o Jon Stewart lo importante que sería el vestuario.

Echa un vistazo, Steve Martin se bajó los pantalones en la 21ª edición de los Grammy en 1979, mientras que Stewart recreó el momento casi 25 años después, en 2002. ¡Bonitas piernas, chicos!

Madonna parecía una visión en rojo durante el acto de apertura en 1999, tocando "Nothing Really Matters" mientras el público miraba con asombro.

Y, ¿quién puede olvidar cuando Billie Eilish y su hermano Finneas necesitaron una maldita carretilla para llevar todos sus premios a casa? Billie se llevó cinco trofeos en 2020, y ni ella ni Finneas podían creerse lo que estaba pasando.

¿Y qué habría sido de los Grammy sin Britney Spears, quien lucía tan angelical en un vestido completamente blanco en la 42ª edición anual de los Grammy en 2000? Fue nominada a dos trofeos ese año, pero perdió en ambos. De hecho, pasaría media década antes de que finalmente consiguiera su primer, y único, Grammy.

Lo más importante, los Grammy son una fiesta, así que levantemos una copa con Queen Bey, Adele y el superagente Rich Paul y brindemos por la entrega de premios que comienza este domingo a las 5 PM PT solo en CBS.

It's that time of the year again ... Grammys night is almost upon us -- and we've got a recap of some of the best moments from the ceremony's 66-year history.

Whether it's Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, or Lionel Richie ... the Grammy Awards are always packed with tons of star power -- and more than a few "can you believe that just happened?" moments.

Big note to all stars on Grammys night ... remember to bring pants -- which may seem like an obvious piece of advice, but apparently no one told Steve Martin or Jon Stewart just how important wardrobe would be.

Check it out ... SM dropped trou at the 21st Grammys way back in 1979 while Stewart recreated the moment almost 25 years later in 2002. Nice legs, boys!

Madonna looked like a vision in red during the show's opening act in 1999 ... jamming "Nothing Really Matters" while the packed audience looked on in sheer wonder.

And, who can forget when Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas needed a damn wheelbarrow to haul all their trophies home??? Billie took home five trophies in 2020, and neither she nor Finneas could really believe what was happening.

Would it even be the Grammys without Britney Spears ... who looked so angelic in an all-white gown at the 42nd annual Grammys in 2000. She was nominated for two trophies that year, but lost on both. In fact, it would be half a decade before she finally got her first -- and only -- Grammy Award.

Most importantly, the Grammys are a party ... so let's raise a glass with Queen Bey, Adele, and superagent Rich Paul and toast to the awards show that's kicking off this Sunday at 5 PM PT only on CBS.

Behind this altered image are two highly accoladed stars who are set to take the stage at this year's Grammys, but it's been a hot minute since one of these singers released new music. You may need to "Turn The Lights Back On" to see them shine in the spotlight!

Yes, there's a 50+ year age gap between these two musicians, but with both of them being Grammy winners ... it came to no surprise their performance at Madison Square Garden was legendary!

Britney Spears' recent post deserves another look ... 'cause it seemed like an innocent throwback with her sis, but it might've been a coded dig at her mom.

The 42-year-old singer-songwriter took to Instagram Saturday afternoon to share a sweet pic from back in the day with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears ... showing BS in a black turtleneck with JLS pulling off 2000s chic in her brown cap and bright orange T.

Brit captioned the pic, "Throwback!!! I can't stop laughing" followed by some laughing emojis. She even went as far as tagging her sister in the caption ... so it seems the two may even still be on speaking terms!

However, another family member was also in the photo, but didn't make the cut on Spears' IG grid ... 'cause Lynne Spears is off to the left in the actual pic!

Here's the full photo from way back in 2002 ... and there's Lynne in the bright red top, pearly-white smile on her face.

So why didn't she make the cut on Instagram ... there are any number of innocuous reasons for the exclusion like Britney only wanted to show her and Jamie's faces -- both of which are highlighted by rather funny expressions. Or, perhaps, the full pic wouldn't fit on Insta, so Britney was forced to cut Lynne out.

But, with all the turmoil in Brit's family from the past -- and the fact that Spears didn't even mention cutting her mom out in the caption -- it's always possible the two had another falling out despite their attempts at reconciliation.

We broke the story ... Britney and Lynne started working through their issues weeks before Mama Spears attended her daughter's 42nd birthday celebration at the beginning of December.

Everything seemed to be heading down the right path ... with Lynne expressing hope her daughter would come to Lousiana for Christmas to keep the good times rolling.

Since then though, we haven't heard a peep ... which suggests the wheels may have fallen off their relationship though we certainly don't know anything for sure.

On a brighter note ... Jamie Lynn seems to be back in Britney's good graces! We knew a reconciliation between the two was also taking place back in December though the actress wouldn't tell us anything when we caught up with her at LAX.

So, it seems we'll just have to wait and see if Lynne has anything to say about getting the axe from Brit's pic.

Dua Lipa really stepped out of her comfort zone with her major role in the new movie, "Argylle" ... hopefully, she won't be too discouraged by box office numbers.

If you don't know ... "Argylle" centers on an author who writes secret agent novels -- and whose life becomes one after her latest book starts to reflect real-world events.

However, most of the buzz around the movie's centered less on the plot and more on the cast -- Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, John Cena, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O'Hara, Samuel L. Jackson, Dua ... the list just goes on and on.

But, even an army of stars can't seem to save "Argylle" from the dreaded box office bomb. The first weekend for the comedy-thriller's not going well according to The Hollywood Reporter ... which reports the film grossed just $5.6 million on Friday in the United States and it headed for an estimated $16.5 million domestic opening

The overseas numbers look just as bad for the flick ... with those markets expected to rake in just $16.9 million -- a poor opening for a movie with a blockbuster budget like "Argylle."

Multiple outlets report the film cost $200 million to make .. and, that's not including the marketing budget -- probably another huge sum given the massive commercial campaign the team at Apple launched.

As for what happened, that seems obvious ... early reviews of the movie weren't flattering and may have convinced prospective moviegoers to skip a trip to the cinema. The movie's currently got a 37% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes though audiences are rating it at 65%.

Now, Dua's inclusion in the flick's specifically important here ... because she doesn't do much acting. This is really only her second role listed on IMDb where she's played a character -- she was also a Barbie in "Barbie" but so was half of H'Wood.

So, a box office blow in her first real major role may negatively impact her career prospects ... or maybe not. She's still one of the most popular singers in the world.

Dua Lipa realmente se salió de su zona de confort al interpretar un papel principal en la nueva película "Argylle", pero esperemos que no se desanime demasiado con los números de taquilla.

Por si no lo saben, "Argylle" se centra en un autor que escribe novelas de agentes secretos, y cuya vida se convierte en uno después de que su último libro comienza a reflejar los acontecimientos del mundo real.

Sin embargo, la mayoría de los rumores en torno a la película se centraron menos en la trama y más en el elenco Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam ockwell, John Cena, Ariana DeBose, Catherine O'Hara, Samuel L. Jackson, Dua Lipa ... La lista es interminable.

Pero ni siquiera un ejército de estrellas será capaz de salvar a "Argylle" del temido fracaso de taquilla. Según The Hollywood Reporter, el primer fin de semana de la comedia de suspenso no está siendo bueno. La película recaudó solo 5,6 millones de dólares el viernes en Estados Unidos y se estima que su recaudación de estreno en el país será de 16,5 millones de dólares.

Los números en el extranjero parecen igual de malos, con una estimación de solo 16,9 millones dólares, una mala apertura para una película con un presupuesto de gran éxito como "Argylle".

Múltiples medios informan que la película costó 200 millones de dólares, y eso sin incluir el presupuesto de marketing, probablemente otra suma enorme dada la enorme campaña comercial que lanzó el equipo de Apple.

En cuanto a lo sucedido, parece obvio, las primeras críticas de la película no han sido muy halagadoras y pueden haber convencido a los posibles espectadores de no ir al cine. La película tiene actualmente un 37% de crítica en Rotten Tomatoes, aunque el público la valora con un 65%.

La inclusión de Dua en el filme es especialmente importante porque no actúa mucho. Este es el segundo papel en IMDb donde ella interpreta a un personaje. También tuvo un papel en "Barbie", al igual que la mitad de Hollywood.

Por lo tanto, un fracaso de taquilla en su primer papel importante puede afectar negativamente sus perspectivas profesionales o tal vez no. Ella sigue siendo una de los cantantes más populares en el mundo.

Jay-Z held a pre-Grammy soiree Friday night ... bringing out a small contingent of big-name stars to party hard with the rap mogul, including Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim K and her sister, Khloe, arrived separately from Odell and the other celebs, namely Karrueche Tran, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, and Corey Gamble.

Jay-Z and Corey were filmed leaving The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood -- and everyone looked stunning, to say the least!

Kim looked hotter than ever -- decked out in her black leather ensemble.

We're told Kim quietly left the shindig later on, climbing into her blacked-out Range Rover parked near the garage.

Our sources tell us ... Kim's primary security guard was seen standing outside the SUV -- but the SKIMS magnate was never eyeballed while she was supposedly inside the vehicle. There was also some talk about Odell being inside the garage with Kim, but that's not confirmed.

Of course, this only fueled rumors that Kim and Odell might be more than just friends. You may recall, Kim sparked chatter among people that she was dating Odell when she showed up at his 31st birthday party last year. For now, though, it's all just speculation.

Back to Jay's celebration, everyone who attended seemed to have an awesome time as they geared up for the Grammys. The Grammys, of course, are Sunday and expected to showcase some iconic performances.

Jay-Z celebró una velada pre-Grammys el viernes por la noche, con un pequeño contingente de estrellas entre los asistentes, incluyendo Kim Kardashian y Odell Beckham Jr.

Kim K y su hermana Khloe llegaron por separado de Odell y las otras celebridades, entre ellas Karrueche Tran, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert y Corey Gamble.

¡Jay-Z y Corey fueron filmados saliendo de The Bird Streets Club en West Hollywood, y todos se veían impresionantes, por decir lo menos!

Kim parecía más sensual que nunca, ataviada en su conjunto de cuero negro.

Nos dicen que Kim se fue de la fiesta en silencio más tarde, subiéndose a su Range Rover negro aparcado cerca del garaje.

Nuestras fuentes también dicen que el guardia de seguridad principal de Kim fue visto de pie afuera de la SUV, pero la magnate de SKIMS no fue vista mientras supuestamente estaba en el interior del vehículo. También se habló de que Odell estuvo dentro del garaje con Kim, pero eso no está confirmado.

Por supuesto, esto solo alimentó los rumores de que Kim y Odell podrían ser algo más que amigos. Se acordarán de que ella levantó rumores de que estaban saliendo cuando apareció en su fiesta de cumpleaños 31 el año pasado. Por ahora, sin embargo, todo es solo especulación.

Volviendo a la celebración de Jay, parece que todos los asistentes lo pasaron increíble mientras se preparaban para los Grammy, que son el domingo y se espera que cuenten con algunas actuaciones icónicas.
