Ariana Grande: SLAMMED For Skipping Mac Miller Tribute Concert!
Back in September, rapper Mac Miller passed away from an overdose after years of battling addiction.
Last night in Los Angeles, fans, loved ones, and colleagues from the music world gathered together to pay tribute to the late emcee.
John Mayer, Travis Scott and Chance the Rapper were among the A-listers who performed, but one star was noticeably absent.
Miller’s former girlfriend, Ariana Grande, opted out of participating in the evening’s festivities.
On social media, some Miller fans were critical of Grande’s decision not to participate, with many pointing out that the concert was both an opportunity to pay tribute to the late musician and a fundraiser for arts education.
Others took note of the fact that Grande paid tribute to Miller on Instagram, where she posed with his beloved dog while wearing a hoodie he designed himself:
“She is still deeply grieving and chose to pay respect in her own way,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“Ariana is now focusing her time and energy on her music and upcoming tour, which she is very excited about,” the insider adds.
“It’s what Mac would want.”
Miller and Grande broke up in May after more than two years of dating.
There was no mention of either that relationship or Miller’s fatal substance abuse issues during the concert.
On stage, artists paid tribute to Miller through music.
Mayer performed a cover of Miller’s “Small Worlds” while Vince Staples and Anderson Paak both performed songs on which they collaborated with Miller.
Between songs, friends spoke of their fondest memories of Miller, with Chance the Rapper offering one of the night’s most memorable moments:
“Mac, thank you for so many different things,” the emcee said of his late friend.
“Thank you for the music you made; thank you for the music that you provided other people with, for the opportunities that you provided me with, but overall, for the friendships that you built through your music and through your artistry.”
Along with several other performers, Chance credited Miller with inspiring him as an artist and a performer, but most importantly as a human being.

Ariana Grande Pays Tribute to Mac Miller One Week After Pete Davidson Split
It’s been one full week since the world learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have ended their engagement.
The reasons for the split remain mysterious, though some ugly rumors about Pete’s behavior in the final days of the relationship have made their way across the social media landscape.
The only thing insiders seem to agree on in accounts they’ve offered to the media is that the death of Mac Miller played a role in Ariana’s decision to end her relationship with Pete.
Grande and Miller dated for over two years and parted ways not long before the singer began her relationship with Davidson.
Last month, Miller died of an apparent overdose after struggling with addiction for several years.
In the wake of her ex’s passing, Grande has made it clear that despite the dissolution of their romantic relationship, her love for Miller remains intact.
And she’s once again reminded fans of that fact with her latest Instagram story.
Grande posted a video she shot at last year’s Academy Awards.
In the video, Miller is seen joking and smiling with Grande’s mother and grandmother backstage.
“I should have worn that for the night,” Miller jokes while watching an interview with a flamboyantly-dressed Elton John.
At that point, Miller turns to Grande and laughs.
The singer overlaid the video with a small heart as a symbol of her affection for the departed rapper.
It’s not the first time that Ari has paid tribute to Mac in the weeks since his passing.
After grieving away from the public eye for several days, Grande broke her silence last month when she posted the above video of Miller with the following caption:
“i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will,” she wrote.
“i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do.”
“you were my dearest friend. for so long,” she continued.
“above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved.
“i hope you’re okay now,” Grande concluded “rest.”
Our thoughts go out to Ariana and all of Mac’s loved ones as they continue to mourn the passing of an incredibly gifted young man.

Josh & Anna Duggar Continue Comeback Tour With Tribute to Eldest Daughter
Well Duggar fans, whether you like it or not, Jim Bob and Michelle’s eldest child is slowly worming his way back into your lives.
Many feared a day would come when Josh Duggar would once again be foisted upon an unsuspecting public, and a handful of perverse weirdos have been openly hoping for it.
But whether you’re currently celebrating or cringing yourself into oblivion, there’s no denying that the second coming of Josh is close at hand.
We won’t bother to brief you on Josh’s sex crimes or the various other ways he’s shown himself to be less than a model of Christian virtue.
Instead, we’ll skip right to the ongoing effort to rebuild his reputation:
It started with the announcement that Josh and Anna were celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the day that they got engaged.
Yes, the Duggars were in such a hurry to push this agenda that they couldn’t even wait until the actual wedding anniversary.
Shortly thereafter, Josh and Anna made a public appearance together, posing for pics at the wedding of family friends Josie Bates and Kelton Balka.
This may not sound like a big deal, but it’s the first time that the couple has appeared in public at a non-family event since 2015.
Let’s not forget that when Josh attended Joy-Anna Duggar’s wedding last year, his family was still so keen to sweep him under the rug that he was edited out of footage shot by TLC.
Now, in keeping with the proud Duggar tradition, Josh and Anna are getting their kids in on the act.
Or at least one of their kids, anyway …
Mackynzie Duggar turned 9 this week, and Anna celebrated by posting the above pic along with a touching caption.
“Nine years ago today we transitioned from newlyweds to a family of three when our first daughter Mackynzie was born,” Anna wrote.
“Mackynzie, it has been a joy to watch you grow into such a kind, fun and caring young lady!” she added.
“You live up to the meaning of your name as you are a wise leader! I am thrilled to watch you love Jesus, love others and strive to do what is right!”
Now obviously, Mackynzie is totally innocent, and we hope her birthday was a joyous occasion.
But these days, it’s hard not to be skeptical of everything that Anna posts — particularly when said posts are coming out so much more frequently that any other point in the past three years.
Just don’t say we didn’t warn you when Josh is making regular appearances on Counting On next season!

Ariana Grande Pays Moving Tribute to Mac Miller
Ariana Grande has broken her silence in response to Mac Miller’s shocking death.
In her own way, that is.
One day after Miller was found dead inside his home of a suspected overdose, the singer has acknowledged the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend.
Grande and Miller dated for about two years, breakng up in May, just a couple months before Miller would pass away.
According to sources at the time, the rapper substance abuse problem was a sigificant reason that Grande was forced to finally end the romance, as it had become highly toxic and unhealthy for her.
Because lots of people on the Internet are awful, some trolls attacked Grande on Instagram Friday evening because they:
- Blamed her for Miller’s overdose.
- Wondered why she had not yet commented on his passing.
Like we said, lots of people on the Internet are awful.
On Saturday afternoon, however, Grande did share the following photo of Miller on her official social media page:
She did not include a caption along with it.
Within an hour of going live, though, the black, white and sort of artistic image has garnered over 3.6 million Likes.
About a week after Miller and Grande split, the former was arrested for drunk driving after he got into a very serious car accident.
Grande responded by telling Mac to “Pls take care of yourself,” and she then clapped back hard at anyone who blamed her then as well for Miller’s personal issues.
“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” she tweeted this spring, adding:
“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years. Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was.”
Miller was also in Manchester last year when a terrorist killed 22 people at one of Grande’s concerts.
These two had been through a lot prior to Mac’s death.
The day Grande and Miller broke up, Ariana wrote the following on Instagram:
Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet malcolm mccormick.
I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!
Unconditional love is not selfish.
It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it’s not you. I can’t wait to know and support you forever and i’m so proud of you!!
Elsewhere, another of Miller’s ex-girlfriends, Nomi Leasure, has spoken out on his death… and his life.
“So grateful we had our final moment. Our clarity, clearing of the air. You changed my life. I, yours. The residual effects of your passion ripple on. You are not gone. Not in the least.”
Leasure and Miller started dating in high school and broke up not long before he moved on wth Grande.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP.
May Mac Miller rest in peace.

Sally Field Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Burt Reynolds
Hollywood has lost a legend.
And Sally Field has lost a true love.
As previously reported, Burt Reynolds died on Thursday of a heart attack, passing away at his home in Jupiter, Florida of a heart attack.
The legendary actor was 82 years old.
Upon learning of his death, a number of entertainment industry heavyweights have expressed their sympathy and their sorrow (scroll down), but one name stands out from all the rest right now.
Sally Field met Reyonds on the set of the 1977 smash hit comedy, Smokey and the Bandit.
The actress and the actor would date for five years… while also co-starring in several more films, including Smokey and the Bandit II, The End and Hooper.
Although they split for good in 1982, Reynolds recounted the romance over 30 years later in an interview with Vanity Fair, referring to Field as “the love of my life.”
And it’s clear now that Reyonds was never far from the two-time Oscar winner’s heart, either.
“There are times in your life that are so indelible, they never fade away,” Field said in a statement this afternoon, adding of Reynolds:
“They stay alive, even forty years later. My years with Burt never leave my mind. He will be in my history and my heart, for as long as I live. Rest, Buddy.”
Reynolds’ manager, Erik Kritzer, confirmed the passing of this big screen icon, while his niece, Nancy Lee Hess, said the following on Thursday:
“My uncle was not just a movie icon; he was a generous, passionate and sensitive man who was dedicated to his family, friends, fans and acting students.
“He has had health issues, however, this was totally unexpected. He was tough. Anyone who breaks their tailbone on a river and finishes the movie is tough. And that’s who he was.
“My uncle was looking forward to working with Quentin Tarantino (in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and the amazing cast that was assembled.”
In recent years, Reynolds used a cane while out in public. His last appearance in front of a big crowd took place at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.
In the wake of his passing, nearly everyone across Hollywood chimed in with a story about Reynolds or with a few thoughts about the highly-respected actor. To wit:
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Burt Reynolds was one of my heroes. He was a trailblazer. He showed the way to transition from being an athlete to being the highest paid actor, and he always inspired me. He also had a great sense of humor – check out his Tonight Show clips. My thoughts are with his family.
Reba McEntire: My good friend has started a new journey. Rest in my peace my friend. I’ll never forget the wonderful times we spent together.
Sylvester Stallone: A sad day, my friend BURT REYNOLDS Has passed away. I remember him back in 1979, he always reminded me that I should’ve cast him as Colonel Trautman in FIRST BLOOD , I said that’s impossible, because you’re too expensive and too famous, and probably tougher than Rambo ! He laughed , He had a great sense of humor and I enjoyed his company so much… RIP Buddy
Goldie Hawn: There is only One Burt Reynolds. One! I loved our time our laughs and fun. Now your angels will giggle at your silly jokes as they hold you lightly as you rest dear one.
Kevin Bacon: Im 19. I get a few lines in a movie. The megastar on set was really nice and cool to this punk actor(me) for no reason. The director called me before the movie came out to tell me I had hit the cutting room floor. But I never forgot that Star. Thanks Burt. RIP.
Paul Wesley: Burt Reynolds was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever worked with. He took me under his wing when I was first starting out as an actor and offered friendship, advice and guidance. I’ll never forget how much that meant to me.
Michael Chiklis: I owe my career, at least in part, to the great Burt Reynolds. Heartbroken to learn of his passing. He was one of a kind. A fun loving, charismatic talent who did many good deeds quietly, without personal expectation but rather out of the kindness of his extraordinary heart. RIP.
May Burt Reynolds rest in peace.

Lauren Swanson Wears Nude Heels (!!!), Pays Tribute to Josiah Duggar
Lauren Swanson has gotten naked, folks.
Kind of. Sort of.
Okay, not really at all.
But the newlywed wife of Josiah Duggar has made headlines both for what she just wrote about her husband on Instagram and for what she wore while doing so.
Yes, to be more clear, of course Swanson wore clothing.
She isn’t that much of a rule-breaker.
She hasn’t gone full Cardi B on her conservative in-laws or anything.
But Swanson did get all dolled up in a flowing green skirt, striped top and nude heels to pose alongside Josiah and write the following over the weekend:
“Can’t believe it’s almost been 2 months since I married my best friend!!!’
She concluded with the hashtags “#2monthiversary #marriageisthebest #amazonoutfit.”
Swason and Duggar got married on June 30, shocking fans and supporters because they had not confirmed their wedding date ahead of time.
The ceremony took place at John Brown University Cathedral of the Ozarks in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
It was officiated by Lauren’s father and the couple gushed afterward to People Magazine:
“What a joy it is to be husband and wife! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!”
And then Duggar on his own stated:
“What was even more perfect was to see my beautiful bride walking down the aisle.
“We are so thankful the Lord has brought us to this place and we can’t wait to begin our journey as husband and wife!”
Ever since their big day, there’s been speculation that Swanson is pregnant, which would explain why the stars moved so quickly to exchange their vows.
This speculation has not been verified, however.
But while having sex and getting pregnant before marriage would be the ultimate in Duggar family rule-breaking, Swanson’s ensemble in the photo far above isn’t that far off.
(Okay, fine. It’s pretty far off from premarital sex. But it’s still very very frowned upon by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.)
According to TLC.com:
“You won’t catch any of the Duggar girls in trendy crop tops or mini skirts. Instead, they practice modest dress, which means keeping shoulders, thighs, and cleavage covered.
“Not only does it prevent distractions while dating, but it also ‘keeps the relationship pure’ according to Michelle.”
Is Swanson exposing any cleavage in the photo in question? No.
But she’s coming close to a dress that goes above the knee and some might label those “f-ck me heels” and she also shared the image directly above on Instagram.
It features her and Josiah making out in the dark — and while some may interpret it as sweet and artistic, the elder Duggars may interpret it as akin to pornography.
We’re not kidding.
And neither was Josiah when he said THIS about marriage, keeping it as real as one can about this blessed union.
Check out pictures from Duggar and Swanson’s wedding below, including the very first look at their very first kiss:
