Ellen Speaks Out

Ellen DeGeneres kicked off season 18 of her talk show by head-on addressing the investigation that occurred over the summer into a toxic work environment behind the scenes.  She talks about how there were changes made – she doesn’t get specific, but it was reported that at least two producers of the show were removed.  Ellen also addressed the rumors that she, herself, is not a nice person.  She apologized to those affected, and went on to say she wants to make this the best season of her show, ever.  Here’s her full monologue:

It’s A Girl!

Ed Sheeran and his wife, Cherry Seaborn, announced the birth of their first child, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran!  Not surprised that both of their names are used; Ed always talked about he and Cherry being equals.  He even wore an engagement ring before they were married because he felt that both of them should have one.

It’s the first time he’s posted on social media since December, when he announced he would be taking a break from the spotlight until he had “more to actually have something to write about.”

The Weeknd won the coveted Video of the Year for “Blinding Lights,” and “Say So” singer Doja Cat won Best New Artist.

Taylor Swift made history, as she does, for being the first ever artist to win the award for Best Direction for her music video for “The Man.”

 

Keke Palmer hosted the socially distant awards show with multiple celebrity presenters, and the show was dedicated in memory of “Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away from colon cancer at just 43 years old.

Posted @withregram • @unicef Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀ ⠀ “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀ ⠀ “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀ ⠀ “As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.⠀ ⠀ Gratefully-⠀ ⠀ Katy & Orlando.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.
