Hollywood Machine Keeps Ticking

Another week of awards shows and revelations as the Hollywood machine continued to tick over churning out more entertainment news.

Awards

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards took place in LA over the weekend with big names attending including celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie who made her first appearance, since having more preventative operations, taking her flock of kids along with Katie Holmes who took Suri Cruise to the child friendly event. As usual their were plenty of performances with 5 Seconds of Summer performing and getting slimmed along with awards being handed out with the Modern Family cast winning and, you guessed it, getting slimmed.

It wasn't just the kids that had fun this weekend with the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards taking place hosted by Jamie Foxx who even sang a song about being an "African-American Sniper". Fortunately he wasn't the only performer with Taylor Swift joining Madonna on stage for her performance but it didn't end there with performance from Sam Smith singing "Lay Me Down" and Snoop Dogg performing "Peaches N Cream" along with Rhianna performing "Bitch Better have my Money" for the first time. But it wouldn't be an award show without awards and there were plenty given out with Taylor Swift being the biggest winner of the night.

Celebrities

Outside of award ceremonies celebrities were busy with Robert Pattinson getting engaged to FKA Twigs. Jay Z took on a new venture when he announced a new streaming music service joined by a plethora of celebrities. Trevor Noah was named the new host of the Daily Show but it was soon followed by backlash after old tweets he had made were deemed offensive.

From there it all went downhill with Lil Wayne saying he had sold his mansion after an earlier swatting incident and music legend Joni Mitchell made an emergency visit to the hospital after being found unconscious. Things weren't pretty in the Williams household with Robin Williams kids fighting with Robin's third wife over his estate. In TV land Justin Bieber's roast was finally aired on Comedy Central as a transparent excuse to gain forgiveness for his recent behaviour and finally we end the week with another documentary about unusual behaviour when the "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief" documentary aired with claims that Scientology had control over John Travolta, which explains a lot.

Gracious Winners & Deluded Losers

With awards season well under way the music industry gathered for it's most prestigious awards ceremony while the Brit's made their impact felt at the BAFTA's.

Events

It was the music industries turn to shine with the Grammy's red carpet laying the path for all the beautiful celebrities, however, it was inside where the action kicked off with performances from Katy Perry, fresh from her Super Bowl performance the previous week, also Beyonce and John Legend along with Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige and many, many more. Through the night the winners were announced with all the industry mega stars taking their bows but it was another attention seeking attempt by Kanye West that ultimately dampened the mood when he interrupted Beck after winning Album of the Year.

The BAFTA's (British Academy Film Awards) attracted British celebrities and proudly had them on display on the red carpet while inside host Stephen Fry took a swipe at North Korea and the Sony hack scandal's. Soon it was down to business with the winners accepting their awards with notable mentions going to Eddie Redmayne taking the award for leading actor and Boyhood taking Best Film. The night ended with the after parties divided into the official seated affair and into a more raucous Harvey Weinstein hosted party.

Entertainers

It wasn't all good news this week, after his behaviour at the Grammy's other artist have hit back at Kanye West regarding his remarks with Shirley Manson penning and open letter while Bill Cosby cancelled another show after threats of more protests. Meanwhile NBC news anchors, Brian Williams, is on a 6 month unpaid suspension after he embellished stories of his time in a war zone. Celebrities behind the wheel didn't fare any better with former Olympic athlete, Bruce Jenner, involved in a fatal car accident and rapper Suge Knight's investigation into his hit-and-run growing stranger when it was revealed that he had been ambushed by gunmen moments before the accident.

Lastly, the entertainment industry was left shocked after long time host of the Daily Show, John Stewart, announced he would be leaving the show. The announcement resulted in waves of support from fellow celebrities who took to social media to share their disbelief and best wishes.
