29 Stars Give Dramatic Reading of Justin Bieber"s "Sorry"

We don’t know who came up with the following idea.


But we do know this: it may be the greatest thing we have ever seen on the Internet.


Vanity Fair recently compiled footage of 29 big-time stars staring down the camera and giving a dramatic reading of Justin Bieber"s smash hit single, "Sorry."


The video kicks off with a tear-filled Jon Hamm asking: "Is it too late to say I"m sorry that I don"t know the song, I"m Sorry" by Justin Bieber?"


But others clearly do (and/or they"ve been giving the lyrics), as Nick Jonas, John Legend, John Krasinski, Don Cheadle, Chelsea Handler, Ellen Page, Gabrielle Union and Chloe Sevigny (among others) are all seen below, doing their best Bieber impression.


Their shirts remain on. And they don"t have any tattoos.


But they do pour all of their hearts and every bit of their soul into their readings.


Bieber recently said this track was not a general apology for his behavior, but rather that it was about a girl.


According to Vanity Fair, meanwhile, the production was an homage to W Magazine"s star-filled rendition of Drake"s Hotline Bling.


Watch the hilarious video above – which is comprised of furrowed brows, teary eyes and even a complete emotional breakdown finale – below.

MacKenzie Bourg Says Something, Blows Away American Idol Judges

Things have turned serious on American Idol.


We"re long past the point of silly auditions and headline-making stunts such as Kanye West jokingly trying out for the show.


The Top 24 has been named. The semifinals are on. And each week is bringing us closer and closer to naming the final American Idol champion.


Might it be MacKenzie Bourg?


After impressing the panelists with an original song during Hollywood Week, the former The Voice contestant took at aim the Top 14 on Wednesday night via a rendition of “Say Something.”


He played guitar on this moving A Great Big World ballad and received the following praise from Jennifer Lopez as a result:


"It felt like you felt really good up there. Very natural. You did what MacKenzie does, and that’s exactly what you need to do."


Harry Connick, Jr., meanwhile, praised Bourg for connecting with the lyrics, taking note of how the aspiring artist poured his heart into the song.


“I also liked that you changed the melody but you still kept the integrity of the song," he said, while Keith Urban noted that if this was Bourg’s own track, “I believed every bit of it. It was a really good song choice."


See if you agree and if you think MacKenzie Bourg a shot to win the whole thing:

Kanye West FINALLY Reveals Album Title, Tracklist

Even by the lofty standards of a man whose social media presence has inspired dozens of parody accounts, it’s been an interesting week on Kanye West’s Twitter page.



First, ‘Ye bafflingly tweeted his belief that Bill Cosby is innocent, thus sending many of his 18.5 million followers into an uproar. 


Clearly, the man subscribes to the Kris Jenner “no such thing as bad publicity” school of self-promotion.


Shortly after that tweet made him a trending topic, Kanye beefed with Puma over a deal the sneaker company tried to make with his 18-year-old sister-in-law, Kylie Jenner.


Yeezy clearly wants to control all of his family’s business interests. Again, quite Kris-like.


After all that, Kanye teased fans with the initials for the title of his highly-anticipated seventh studio album, scheduled to drop tomorrow.


Anyone who could figure out what T.L.O.P. stands for would receive free tickets to West’s upcoming Madison Square Garden fashion show, as well as a pair of his signature Yeezy sneakers.


As far as we know, no one correctly guessed The Life of Pablo, which ‘Ye revealed as the title moments ago, along with the following tracklist:



As you can see, Kanye is still teasing fans with regard to which Pablo the title refers to.


The most obvious answer is Escobar, but knowing Yeezy’s relationship with the art world, it could just as easily be Picasso, or even the late Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.


Whatever the case, this will hopefully be the last time Kanye changes the title, as the full album could be released at literally any moment.


Kanye has called the LP a “gospel record,” but we’re guessing there’ll be some serious anger in the lyrics.


Hey, we don’t blame him. The man has Kris Jenner for a mother-in-law.

Kanye West: ACCUSED By Caitlyn Jenner of Transphobia!

Kanye West is pissing everyone off these days: Wiz Khalifa, Amber Rose, his own wife Kim Kardashian, and now, his stepfather-in-law Caitlyn Jenner.



Last week, we reported that Kanye was in the studio recording a diss track targeting Wendy Williams, who had accused the rapper of being in a “sham marriage.”


The song is said to be a remix of Aerosmith’s “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” and takes some immature jabs at the talk show host’s appearance with lyrics like “You may be wearing dresses, but you a man like me,” “Let me see, your birther please” and “A dude in a wig that really wanna be me!”


Caitlyn, who we all know made the very public transition from male to female last year, reportedly was totally offended by Kanye’s words.


“Caitlyn thinks the song is so insensitive,” a source told In Touch magazine.


Now, if we were playing a word association game and Kanye’s name came up, the word “sensitive” would be the last one we’d think of.


However, the source claims the I Am Cait star “schooled Kanye over Wendy” and evidently had some effect.


“Kanye said he was sorry to Caitlyn,” the source told the magazine. “But he’ll never say it to Wendy.”


Apparently, Caitlyn was not the only person fuming over Kanye’s attempt to get back at the host. His better half Kim was also reportedly peeved


“Kim thinks that Kanye was completely out of line by bashing Wendy,” a source told Radar Online. “It really pissed Kim off because she is a friend of Wendy’s and thinks she’s great.”


Kanye is said to have abandoned the hate-fueled track after chats with Cait and with his wife.


Now he can focus on other pressing matters, like responding to the melee he’s caused after tweeting that Bill Cosby was innocent.
