Nick Cannon, Beyoncé & Blue Ivy, Laverne Cox & Metallica, Rachel Lindsay

Nick Cannon just quit America's Got Talent, which he has hosted since 2009! He didn't leave quietly either! He blasted the network for threatening to fire him after he made a race-based joke, saying:

"I was to be punished for a joke ... My soul won't allow me to be in business with corporations that attempt to frown on freedom of speech, censor artists, and question cultural choices. Not to get too detailed but this isn't the first time executives have attempted to 'put me in my place' for so-called unruly actions... I will not stand for it. My moral principles will easily walk away from the millions of dollars they hang over my head." 

Production on the next season of the show is scheduled for next month, so they'll have to find a new host...fast!

That sparkly cat-shaped purse that Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, was carrying during The Grammy's could possibly cover your mortgage or a month or 2 in rent! Don't let the playful kitty-design fool you... that was a Gucci purse with a $2,500 price tag! E! Online

Laverne Cox tweeted out an apology after she failed to introduce them at The Grammy's. Fans were upset bc the Orange Is The New Black star only mentioned Lady Gaga.

ABC announced Rachel Lindsay, a 31 year old attorney from Dallas, as the next Bachelorette. She will make history as the show's first black bachelorette. The show has previously been criticized for its lack of diversity. Jimmy Kimmel was supposed to reveal the news last night, but word leaked early on social media. Variety
