  • Alicia Keys Remembers That Time John Mayer Showed Her Love At the Grammys

    Alicia Keys has certainly had her fair share of amazing Grammy memories considering the 15 Grammys she has won thus far, but she says one particular memory involving John Mayer sticks with her.

    In 2002, the 34-year-old songstress picked up five Grammy Awards for her debut album Songs in A Minor. Even though that was certainly a memorable year, she says her favorite Grammy memory involves John Mayer from 2005.

    “John Mayer was up for Daughters and I was up for If I Ain’t Got You, and John Mayer won,” the singer told CBS This Morning about the show in 2005, when both stars were nominated for Song of the Year.

    “I loved that song Daughters, and I remember he got up on stage and he said … either onstage or backstage, but the point was that he felt that I should’ve won that award,” said Keys.

    Mayer went so far in his conviction that she should share the award that took apart his Grammy award and gave Keys the top half, keeping only the bottom half with his name on it.

    “So as far as I’m concerned, I won that!” Keys told CBS of the award that now sits on her shelf at home along with her other Grammy Awards.

    On Monday, Keys announced the top four categories on CBS This Morning for 2016’s show. Taylor Swift garnered seven nominations, while Kendrick Lamar picked up 11 nominations.

    On Friday, Keys joined Ciara, Martina McBride, Paul Rudd, Hillary Scott, Jussie Smollett and Hailee Steinfeld to present Billboard’s 2015 Women in Music awards at a gala in New York City.

  • Anna Kendrick Deadpans Hilarious AMAs Acceptance Speech, Talks Threesomes and Dead Hookers

    Anna Kendrick deadpanned an hilarious acceptance speech at the AMAs on Sunday, as she and the Pitch Perfect 2 cast won the award for top soundtrack. The actress even managed to talk about dead hookers and threesomes as she and her cast mates accepted their award.

    “Holy crap–this is great,” she said. “Thank you so much. We were sent here to represent the film and the soundtrack but obviously we hardly did anything at all we just showed up.”

    Anna Kendrick’s trademark humor quickly came to life as she thanked the “unsung heroes of the soundtrack.”

    “You’re a ruthless little group of sociopaths,” she added, “and I admire that about you.”

    Referencing a three-way, towing out compliments and insults, Anna Kendrick closed by mentioning a hooker she buried and a $37 debt.

    Pitch Perfect 2 was up against the Empire soundtrack, as well as the soundtrack for Fifty Shades of Gray.

    In addition to Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, and Chrissie Fit accepted the award on behalf of the entire Pitch Perfect 2 cast.

    Did you catch the American Music Awards on Sunday evening? What did you think of Anna Kendrick’s acceptance speech?

  • Hailee Steinfeld: New EP “HAIZ” to Release November 13th

    Hailee Steinfeld is seamlessly making the transition from actress to pop star. Billboard reports the Pitch Perfect 2 star has announced both the title and the release date of her upcoming EP.

    Likely capitalizing on her name, Hailee Steinfeld’s EP will be called “HAIZ.” Fans can buy it digitally via Republic Records beginning on November 13th.

    It was back on August 7th that Hailee Steinfeld’s first single from the upcoming EP was released. Called “Love Myself,” she co-wrote the song with Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson, Oscar Holter, Julia Michaels, and Justin Tranter. The dance-pop tune told fans Hailee Steinfeld wasn’t solely an actress any more.

    “HAIZ” will feature three additional songs. “You’re Such A,” “Rock Bottom,” and “Hell Nos and Headphones” will accompany “Love Myself” on the new EP.

    The “HAIZ” cover features a photo of Hailee Steinfeld, wearing blue eyeshadow and a blue blazer. Her dark hair is gathered into a high ponytail. The singer’s eyes are closed.

    It’s plain to see that Hailee Steinfeld is one of many crossover stars these days, who wants a singing career in addition to her notoriety as an actress. What’s even plainer to see, however, is that Hailee Steinfeld has the talent needed to find success in both careers.

  • Hailee Steinfeld ‘Love Myself’ About Empowerment Or Masturbation?

    Hailee Steinfeld made a name for herself in her starring role opposite Jeff Bridges in the True Grit remake back in 2010. Since then, Steinfeld has gone on to star in Ender’s Game, Romeo and Juliet, and notably, Pitch Perfect 2.

    Hailee Steinfeld’s involvement in music includes pieces from Pitch Perfect 2. But she was also part of the all-star cast for Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video, starring as a triplet set called The Trinity.

    Steinfeld’s own single “Love Myself” has hit. And the Interwebs are abuzz about the song. Generally taken as a tune about female empowerment and self-confidence, the lyrics to “Love Myself” seem to tell another story.

    When I get chills at night
    I feel it deep inside without you, yeah
    Know how to satisfy
    Keeping that tempo right without you
    Pictures in my mind on replay
    I’m gonna touch the pain away
    I know how to scream my own name
    I’m gonna put my body first
    And love me so hard ’til it hurts

    People are starting to realize that Hailee Steinfeld is not necessarily just talking about a general concept of feminine empowerment, but a specific topic of masturbation.

    Of course, those lyrics could very well be completely innocuous. But they could also be double entendre, especially since she talks about her body.

    After initial kudos for being a message about empowerment, people are catching on. The song was already riding high, now it is taking on a whole new life.

    So, where does the music video lead?

  • Hailee Steinfeld: ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Star Sings Again, This Time With Shawn Mendes

    Hailee Steinfeld can act, and now everyone knows she can sing, too. Steinfeld first wowed fans with her pipes in Pitch Perfect 2. Two months ago she scored a record deal. Most recently, however, she exercises her vocal prowess in a duet with Shawn Mendes. The two performed a version of his song “Stitches.”

    Shawn Mendes and Hailee Steinfeld are an excellent singing duo. Their voices meld beautifully in this song.

    Do you remember Hailee Steinfeld when she first burst onto the acting scene? She played little Mattie Ross in the 2010 film True Grit. From there she has grown into an 18-year-old young woman, and a very talented performer–both on the big screen and behind a microphone. She recently appeared in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video, too.

    Do you expect Hailee Steinfeld might soon be a big singing star, too? Or will her forte remain in the acting field?

  • Hailee Steinfeld: ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Star Celebrates High School Graduation

    Hailee Steinfeld, just one of the talented Barden Bellas in Pitch Perfect 2, celebrated her high school graduation during a party in The Hamptons on Wednesday evening. She was surrounded by family members and close friends.

    At the center of the party was a beautiful cake, presented to Hailee Steinfeld by Republic Records.

    The cake even featured a beautiful picture of the graduate, and read, ‘Congratulations, Hailee, on Your Graduation.’

    It was that graduation cake that made Hailee Steinfeld take to Twitter the day after her high school graduation party.

    Isn’t that a great cake? What a lovely gesture on behalf of the recording studio where Hailee Steinfeld has her contract.

    The plot thickens.

    And then….

    Oh, well. Cakes are made for enjoying–right? And no one said enjoying a cake means cutting it into perfectly sized squares and eating it on plates with forks.

    Hailee Steinfeld appears to have very much enjoyed her graduation cake–and it seems she had a bit of help from her friends, too.

    Congratulations to the Pitch Perfect 2 star on this exciting milestone.

  • Elizabeth Banks: Directing Success of ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Has Whetted Her Appetite For More

    Elizabeth Banks wants more.

    With the success of Pitch Perfect 2, her first foray as a director, Elizabeth Banks said the experience has whetted her appetite for more.

    Elizabeth Banks made her directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2, which is killing it at the box office and stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and Hailee Steinfeld. Banks produced the first Pitch Perfect with husband Max Handelman.

    “I would love to direct more movies,” Elizabeth Banks said, according to U.K.’s Press Association.

    “It’s really important that more women get involved in directing and in leadership positions in Hollywood, and I’m really excited to be providing an example for my generation of women,” said Elizabeth Banks.

    Because the Hunger Games actress has been involved with Pitch Perfect from the very beginning, Elizabeth Banks says directing the sequel was a “natural” step.

    “It did feel natural, just because I’ve been involved since day one. I think being a part of the first film and being on set every day, that was the best preparation for making this movie,” said Elizabeth Banks.

    “I’m also an actor so I haven’t always had the time in my schedule to direct a feature, but I knew I was going to be making the time to do Pitch Perfect 2 as a producer, no matter what. It just seemed the natural progression to take on the directing duties as well.”

    Elizabeth explained the direction she wanted to take with the Bellas in the sequel.

    “One of my goals was to expand the world that the Bellas are in,” she said. “I wanted to improve upon everything that we’ve accomplished – as well as have the girls looking gorgeous, which they do. We were very protective of this franchise. The first time around, we were this little movie with singing and dancing, so much fun, comedy and heart. And this time we wanted to make sure we maintain that sense of fun and wicked humour – but grow in the musical numbers.”

  • Selena Gomez to Star in Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ Music Video, Premiering at Billboard Music Awards

    Selena Gomez is the final piece to the puzzle that is Taylor Swift’s upcoming music video, ‘Bad Blood’. Set to premiere tonight at the Billboard Music Awards, Swift shared the poster bearing a very sexy Selena Gomez on Saturday.

    ‘Meet Arsyn,’ she captioned it.

    Selena Gomez is beyond sexy in the poster, and will no doubt wow fans when she appears in the ‘Bad Blood’ video.

    Taylor Swift took to Twitter on Saturday with the poster featuring Selena Gomez.

    Gomez stuns in a bob with bangs. She sports more cleavage than any 22-year-old should ever be allowed to show. She barely resembles the young Disney Channel star from The Wizards of Waverly Place. Does anyone even remember that Selena Gomez?

    Just imagine what Justin Bieber must think of Selena Gomez as Arsyn.

    Imagine what he’ll think when he sees ‘Bad Blood’ at the Billboard Music Awards, featuring his former girlfriend.

    Will that make Justin want Selena back even more?

    ‘Bad Blood’ features an entire A-list cast of characters assembled by Taylor Swift. In addition to Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Hailee Steinfeld, Zendaya, Kendrick Lamar, and Paramore’s Hayley Williams will appear in ‘Bad Blood.’ Law & Order SVU’s Mariska Hargitay and Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo are featured, as are Cara Delevingne and Lily Donaldson.

    Will you be tuning in to the Billboard Music Awards tonight–Sunday, May 17th–to see Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and more as ‘Bad Blood’ is premiered?

  • Hailee Steinfeld is New Member of Barden Bellas in ‘Pitch Perfect 2’

    Hailee Steinfeld is one of the new members of the Barden Bellas in Pitch Perfect 2, and she’s definitely the most recognized of the newbies. Steinfeld received an Oscar nomination for her 2010 role in True Grit.

    Now playing the role of freshman Emily Junk, Hailee Steinfeld will soon be the talk of the town–Hollywood, that is–once again.

    The actress knew she wanted to be in Pitch Perfect 2 back when she first saw Pitch Perfect.

    “I remember driving around and seeing the posters and every time saying, “I’ve got to see that movie.” All of my friends had seen it so it ended up being like a Friday night family movie date. I just remember, if I wasn’t jumping out of my seat because I was so excited that a song was in the movie, my parents were,” Hailee Steinfeld said during a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.

    So what stands out most for Steinfeld about her first day on the set of Pitch Perfect 2?

    “Well, I remember the first day I got there, I got off the plane, having not slept the day before, and went into dance rehearsal that they were already two weeks into, which in Bellas rehearsal time is a lot of work. I thought I’d just go in and meet everyone and they’d take my measurements and do a fitting and I’d get settled. That was not the case! I literally got off the plane and was in dance rehearsal and was so completely lost and disoriented,” she said.

    Was Hailee Steinfeld welcomed into the Pitch Perfect 2 cast in a different or similar way to the welcome Emily Junk received from the Barden Bellas?

    “I would actually say there were more similarities than differences. Emily comes into the picture and the girls are a little skeptical. To be a Bella, you have to have certain qualities, right? So I think coming into this cast, I got in and I think the girls were like “Okay, let’s see if this girl can jump in with us. Let’s see if this girl can get into it.” And again, they were very supportive and very great, but I think there was a little bit of that as there is with Emily,” Hailee Steinfeld said.

    Have you checked out Hailee Steinfeld in Pitch Perfect 2 yet? If so, what do you think of her as one of the new Barden Bellas?

    And if you haven’t checked her out yet, is Pitch Perfect 2 on your must-see movie list for the near future?

  • Emma Watson Dedicates Award to Dead Hamster

    Emma Watson has always seemed like such a stable young woman. Amidst starring in several films, she managed to earn a degree at Brown University. Best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series of films, she graduated to different roles in films like The Perks of Being A Wallflower and Noah. Perhaps it’s all this consistency and hard work that makes what she did when receiving the British Artist of the Year Awards at the 2014 Britannia Awards just a little bit peculiar.

    This all took place last week when Emma Watson stood at the podium, accepting her Britannia Award. And during that acceptance she dedicated said award to her dead hamster–Millie. She went on in her speech, explaining that during filming a Harry Potter film, she had an on-set hamster–namely Millie. And when Millie passed on into the great hamster hereafter, the crew even built a tiny coffin for her little furry friend.

    “On the first Harry Potter film, my on-set hamster Millie had a heart attack and didn’t quite make it,” Watson said. “The set decorators built a small mahogany hamster-sized coffin and it had a velvet lining [and] a silver plaque on front which had Millie’s named engraved in it.

    “Rest in peace, Millie. This one’s for you,” she said while accepting her award.

    Emma Watson was joined at the 2014 Britannia Awards by Hailee Steinfeld and Eddie Redmayne. Watson wore Balenciaga, accessorized by a Jennifer Fisher necklace, and Jennifer Meyer earrings and rings. She carried a bag by Rauwolf.

    In addition to graduating from Brown and achieving accolades in the acting world, Emma Watson also serves as a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. She is clearly intelligent, talented, and well-versed in many worldwide newsworthy situations.

    Somewhere along the way Watson developed a passion for hamsters. And last week she honored one of them at a very prestigious awards ceremony.

    Will fans soon see Emma Watson driving a Kia Soul and dancing with the hamsters in the popular ads–or is her allegiance solely to Millie instead?

  • Katey Sagal Joins Cast of ‘Pitch Perfect 2’

    Katey Sagal has officially signed on to the cast of the upcoming Pitch Perfect 2. That shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has ever heard her sing in her role as Gemma Taylor on Sons of Anarchy. Katey is an accomplished singer who is presently on the road performing at various venues in her effort to promote her latest CD Covered. She will no doubt add both of her abundant talents to the new film.

    In Pitch Perfect 2, Sagal will play the role of Hailee Steinfeld’s mother. Hailee is a newcomer to the Pitch Perfect cast as well. Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Brittany Snow are among those reprising their roles for the new film. The movie is in pre-production and is expected to arrive in theaters in May of 2015. Elizabeth Banks has made the leap from actress to director as she takes the helm for this highly anticipated production. She is known for several film roles including The Hunger Games and Walk of Shame.

    “Elizabeth originated the idea for Pitch Perfect and was instrumental in making the first film such a huge success,” Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said during a recent interview. “She brings an enormous amount of energy and experience to everything she works on and we’re thrilled that she is making her feature directorial debut on Pitch Perfect 2.”

    Depending on the kind of mother Katey Sagal plays in Pitch Perfect 2, it might be a far cry from her Sons of Anarchy persona. Will her TV show fans follow her to the big screen–and then back to TV again?

    Are you a Pitch Perfect fan? Are you among those counting the months until Pitch Perfect 2 arrives at a theater in your city?

  • Hailee Steinfeld: ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Star Talks Taylor Swift

    Hailee Steinfeld: ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ Star Talks Taylor Swift

    Hailee Steinfeld is on board for the upcoming film Pitch Perfect 2, and she likely shared her excitement about getting the role with friend Taylor Swift. While some believe the two are merely social media friends, they’re actually great pals in real life, too.

    Hailee covers the May issue of Nylon and within its pages shares a few tidbits about their friendship.

    Taylor’s “an amazing friend,” she says.

    “I always get the ‘Tell us something nobody knows [about Taylor] question,” Steinfeld continues. “And it’s like, we both respect each other tremendously, but we choose to keep our friendship out of the public eye. She’s a really great person and an inspiration to me and many others.”

    Hailee describes herself in Nylon as a “normal teenager.”

    “It is about being honest,” she explains. “People live different lifestyles, and I always find an equivalency: If I’m filming or going to and audition it’s [the same as] my friends going school or dance class. I think everyone lives the same way and encounters the same sort of life.”

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s own Emma Stone is the one who introduced Hailee Steinfeld to Steinfeld said about Swift. “We just love to kick back, listen to music, watch TV, bake, watch movies and all of that kind of stuff.”

    The two girls were spotted just last weekend in New York having dinner. They also had a blast during awards season, dancing at a Golden Globes after party. They will likely enjoy some sort of celebration for Hailee getting her Pitch Perfect 2 role.

    Give today’s celebrity presence, Hailee Steinfeld could certainly have chosen far worse people to hang out with than Taylor Swift. At least the We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together singer serves as a decent, wholesome role model for the 17-year-old.

  • Adam Levine, Keira Knightley Leave Comfort Zones

    Maroon Five singer Adam Levine and actress Keira Knightley star in the upcoming movie Begin Again. To make the film, each had to step out of their comfort zones into a very different trade – Levine left the comfort of music to tackle acting and Knightly became a musician for her role – something she said terrified her.

    “I kept telling her she was great and she wouldn’t believe me, and she told me that I wasn’t bad at acting either but I didn’t believe her, so it was perfect,” said The Voice coach.

    “I was completely terrified,” Knightley said. “I didn’t anticipate being as frightened as I was. I said yes to doing it and I was, ‘Oh, it’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be fine,’ and then suddenly I found myself in a studio with real people who did it for a living and I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m pretending.’”

    Levine said he loved his leap into the unknown.

    “My experience was so much fun,” he said. “It made me kind of start to like it a little bit, but I don’t know. I don’t think you can really make those bold declarations, but we’ll see.”

    The film, which also stars Mark Ruffalo, Hailee Steinfeld and Catherine Keener, was screened Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival and opens in the U.S. in July.

    Levine, 35, showed up at the screening with fiancé Behati Prinsloo, a Victoria’s Secret model, with whom he started dating in 2012.

    The couple announced their engagement in July 2013.

    “She makes me the best person I can be,” Levine said Sunday. “She’s the best in the world.”

  • Hilary Swank and Tommy Lee Jones Star in ‘The Homesman’

    Hilary Swank and Tommy Lee Jones star opposite each other in The Homesman. The international trailer for the upcoming film hit the internet on Tuesday. A release date for the film has yet to be announced.

    Jones not only stars in the film, he serves as director and producer–and he co-wrote it as well. He plays the role of a claim jumper who has to help a pioneer woman–played by Hillary Swank–escort three mentally disturbed women all the way from Nebraska to Iowa in order to pay her back for saving his life. Jones’s character was about to be hanged when Swank’s character intervened and saved him.

    In addition to Swank and Jones, The Homesman also stars Meryl Streep, William Fichtner, and Hailee Steinfeld.

    The last film Hilary Swank starred in was You’re Not You back in 2013. Her biggest film credit to date was Million Dollar Baby back in 2004, for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.

    Rumor has it that The Homesman may be headed to Cannes. One of Tommy Lee Jones’s previous stints at directing–The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada–debuted on the Croisette in 2005, so the notion certainly isn’t a far fetched one. The scenery in The Homesman is said to be positively amazing as it follows Jones and Swank’s character’s journey from Nebraska to Iowa. Brilliant cinematography has led some films to debut in Cannes in previous years.

    The Homesman is adapted from the novel by the same name, written by Glendon Swarthout. The lead character in the book–Mary Bee Cuddy–is the one upon which Hilary Swank’s character is based.

    Are you a fan of Hilary Swank and/or Tommy Lee Jones? Based on the first trailer for The Homesman, does this look like a film you might be interested in seeing once it hits theaters?

  • Hailee Steinfeld Parties With Pal Taylor Swift

    Hailee Steinfeld, the 17-year-old actress most well-known for her role in 2010’s True Grit, partied with her girlfriends at a Golden Globes party on Sunday night.

    Steinfeld danced the night away with friends Taylor Swift, Sarah Hyland, and Jaime King at the awards show after-party at Old Trader Vic’s at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

    Steinfeld posted pictures of the clan on her Twitter and Instagram accounts on Monday. Eyewitnesses have said that the foursome appeared to be having the time of their lives dancing to tunes by Rihanna and M.I.A.

    The Romeo and Juliet actress first rose to fame in 2010 with the blockbuster True Grit, co-starring Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon.

    Steinfeld was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards that year for her performance in the film. While she didn’t win that particular night, she did go on to claim the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Mattie Ross.

    The 2014 Golden Globes were held Sunday night, and the after-party hosted by the Weinstein Company at the hotel in Beverly Hills.

    Fellow partygoers told Us Weekly that the girls were the life of the party, “literally jumping and dancing.”

In describing their relationship and how close she feels to the country singer, Steinfeld stated “We connected a few years ago; she’s like a big sister to me. She’s the best listener. I feel like I can call or text her wherever she is in the world and she’ll always be there.”

  • Hailee Steinfeld To Join Vince Vaughn Thriller

    Hailee Steinfeld has a busy year ahead of her; besides “Romeo And Juliet” and “Can A Song Save Your Life?”, she’s just signed on to work with Vince Vaughn and director Peter Billingsley on “Term Life“, a film based on a graphic novel.

    The Oscar-nominated actress–whose previous work includes “True Grit”–will play Cate, the estranged daughter of Vaughn’s character Nick Barrow.
