In the latest update on Will Smith’s Slapgate, Amy Schumer expressed discontent about the fact that Smith was let on stage to slap Chris Rock but she wasn’t allowed to say one specific joke about Don’t Look Up and Alec Baldwin shooting someone on accident. Schumer’s joke was, “Don’t Look Up is the name of a movie? More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun.” After the Oscars Schumer relayed this joke to a reporter but prefaced them by saying “My lawyer told me not to say these, don’t tell anybody, and don’t get mad.”
In music-related news, Kanye pulled out of performing at Coachella amidst his ongoing scandal with ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Plus, Ed Sheeran won his copyright case over his hit song “Shape of You,” when Judge Anthony Zacaroli ruled that the Brit did not infringe on a 2015 song called “Oh Why” released by Sami Switch. Also, Selena Gomez had an interview about being off social media and the internet for the past 4 yrs and how it helped with her mental health, particularly with her bipolar disorder. And most charmingly, Oliva Rodrigo dropped and broke a Grammy just like once Taylor Swift did.
In celebrity news, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian got held a mock wedding ceremony in Las Vegas on Monday the 4th of April at 2 am. And meanwhile, Ezra Miller’s projects with Warner Bros have been put on pause due to his arrest for harassment and assault.
And that’s the buzz.
