I was concerned about whether I’d like Lady Gaga’s new album; the promo and the album artwork/iconography indicated something dark, and there is enough dark right now. I'm grateful - the tone is much lighter than expected. (1/2) #LadyGaga #Mayhem #Music

...and here it is, from Ezra Edelman's mouth. The miscalculation "the Estate" is making is enormous; especially the discussion of the whitewashing of #Prince for both B'way and whatever doc comes next. (1 of 2) #Prince4Ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=X93Y...

For those upset Cynthia Erivo didn't win tonight: she'll not only be nominated for Best Actress again next year, but also co-wrote one of the new songs in WICKED: FOR GOOD which will unquestionably be nominated for Best Song. She will get her EGOT next year; one way or another. Maybe two. #Oscars

Look, y'all, Demi was not robbed. She was fine in THE SUBSTANCE, despite it not making much sense. She had three really good scenes, but by comparison, Mikey Madison carries the whole dang movie. The Academy made the correct choice. Demi would not want to win just because of "a narrative." #Oscars

...and we in LA just added a HOUSEQUAKE to Oscar night. 3.9 near Burbank / North Hollywood. Prob felt bigger because it's closer to me. #LA #earthquake

What a night for Sean Baker and ANORA! That's Oscars 97, baby. Until next year! #Oscars

The Academy did not let me down! They gave Best Actress to one of the two whose performance actually made sense to win. Way to go Mikey!! #Oscars

I loved spotting Colman Domingo dead center stage in that red jacket getting his life to Queen Latifah's party on "Ease On Down the Road". Q would be very proud! Claps up! #Oscars

Much love and respect to the winners of Documentary Feature "No Other Land" and their powerful speeches. They may fall on many deaf, arrogant ears - but I heard you. #Oscars

We should all age with as much energy as Jagger. Watching him walk onstage was such a lift! #Oscars

Zoe Saldaña is a major example ofwhy I enjoy the #Oscars year after year. Watching people reach the pinnacle of their craft, and losing themselves in the moment of such fantastic joy. We should all be so lucky to have moments like this - whether or not they are televised. I am deeply moved.

More often than not, the movie that takes the award for Editing wins the award for Best Picture - so it looks like we are on a way to ANORA winning the top prize tonight. #Oscars

Raye had some nice vocal moments late in the game, but it's clear Adele songs are a very specific style, and singers need to make it their own and stay away from imitating a sound. #Oscars

I would have preferred A COMPLETE UNKNOWN for Adapted Screenplay over CONCLAVE, but I nod, and accept. I have spoken. #Oscars

Very glad ANORA won for Original Screenplay over what was predicted in some circles, THE SUBSTANCE, which, the more I think about, doesn't make sense. #Oscars

....and Tazewell for the win - with Bowen in his costume. Perfection! and holy cow - I didn't know Paul Tazewell is the FIRST black man to ever win for Costume Design. Shocking, but DOUBLE FANTASTIC!!! Yaaaaaaaaaas! #Oscars

OK - if Tazewell wins for Costume Design, Bowen Yang's little choice will be FABULOUS! #Oscars

This is an amazing story - the Best Animated Short Feature winners landed in LA three hours before winning, and had trouble obtaining their VISAs before that. Wow. Just WOW! #Oscars

Absolutely brilliant to do a song about not wasting time when the intent is to do exactly that. Well done, Conan and team! #Oscars

Conan is killin' quite a bit with this monologue. Glad for the laughs. Could have gone south real fast. #oscars

Absolutely gorgeous opening to the #Oscars - from the LA tribute, to Ariana's "Over the Rainbow" and Cynthia's "Home", to getting to hear them both belt out "Defying Gravity". I'm super sad WICKED will likely go home empty handed tonight. It's the only one people will be talking about in 100 years.

I suppose I have to thank Conan for giving everyone a heads up to the most difficult aspects of THE SUBSTANCE with this skit. #Oscars

Republicans have to be on record as voting against tax cuts for billionaires. And we have to hope the American people trusting those Republicans find out and know that doesn't help them. If those Americans find out and hold them accountable - good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR6i...

4pm PT Monday 2/17 - HEY! I'm now co-host of the 'And Now... On With the Countdown' music podcast on Spoutible. Come on in and listen. Our host goes through the Top 40 countdown from a week in music history. So much fun!

Host of a 'spiritual' audio chat just said "I'm a hugger. If I ever meet you in person, you're getting a hug." Even if this host means well, they're saying, "Your boundaries don't matter. I will force you to be hugged because that's what * I * want." People need to be mindful of their phrasing.

It's officially 50 years to the day that Cher, Bette, Elton & Flip flashed forward 50 years to the 'Final Curtain Rest Home for Aged Performers.' Cher put this up on her official channel. It would be a hoot if they got together to watch themselves watching themselves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IEL...

Just saw TizzyEnt's vid-capture where Elon's kid clearly says two things to DT in the Oval: 1) "You're not the President. You need to go away"; and 2) "I want you to shut your f/ing mouth up." As Tizzy says, the kid is repeating what he's heard. This will unravel. It's a question of how soon.

Just a reminder of something happy that happened on this date in 2011 - and something I never expected to see in my lifetime. My two primary artistic inspirations in the same spot! #BarbraStreisand #Prince #Prince4Ever

Went to get a haircut. They had CNN on one of the TVs. Silent. 1st time I've seen "mainstream media" in a long while. EM in the Oval conducting a "news conf" with his kid on his shoulders while DT just sits behind the Resolute Desk, letting EM lead. The sight of it. A desecration. Enraging.

It continues to shock me every time I hear someone in an audio conversation for 'high consciousness / spirituality' sneak in their praise of EM for how he's "trying to fix our government." What he's doing is not helpful, it's hurtful; and hurtful is not spiritual. I am being judgmental. Don't care.

People are so busy talking to their cameras for content they're forgetting how to talk to actual people.
