Christina Grimmie: Why Didn’t the Teen Choice Awards Air Her Victory?

Christina Grimmie won Choice Web Star: Music at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night.

The honor, of course, was handed out posthumously because Grimmie was tragically shot and killed by a deranged fan on June 10 in Orlando.

The late singer’s victory, however, was not included on the broadcast itself, which has reportedly raised some ire among her fans and even members of her family.

Granted, the the awards show did not announce every award during its live production.

And, granted, Choice Web Star: Music was likely not considered one of the most popular or significant categories of the night.

But producers also failed to include Grimmie in the event’s most emotional segment, a tribute to family members of victims of gun violence.

At one point during the ceremony, Jessica Alba introduced a handful of teenagers who have been affected by recent shootings, including Alton Sterling’s son Cameron.

The actress took to the stage and asked viewers to take a stand via the hashtag #StoptheViolence.

To many, this seemed like the ideal moment to honor Grimmie, whose murder took place one night before the massacre at nearby Orlando nightclub Pulse.

Here is a look at portions of Alba’s tribute:

Teen Choice Awards Stop to Honor Victims of Gun Violence

“While we are glad that Christina finally won her much-deserved Teen Choice Award, we are also definitely disappointed that her name was not mentioned at any point during the two-hour broadcast,” an insider close to the Grimmie family told Entertainment Tonight.

“It seems they could have paid honor or tribute to her in some way and that opportunity was missed. The fans have a right to be upset.”

Also making many online angry?

The fact that the Teen Choice Awards sent out an official Tweet that prior to Sunday’s show that read:

“Retweet to vote in memory of @TheRealGrimmie for #ChoiceMusicWeb Star. #TeenChoice.”

Critics feel as if the show exploited Grimmie’s memory.

“I can’t believe that the TCAs didn’t even acknowledge Christina Grimmie’s win or mention her death within the gun violence portion,” one Twitter user wrote.

A Change.org petition is now circulating that calls for an apology from the Teen Choice Awards and the Fox network.

In part, the petition reads as follows:

“As the final categories were announced and Jason Derulo came out to close the show, millions of hearts collectively shattered at the realization that Teen Choice and Fox went out of their way to ignore and completely avoid addressing the terribly tragic passing of one of their own nominees.”

Kesha Withdraws Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Dr. Luke In California

Kesha has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke… in California!

That much was confirmed on Monday, August 1 when the singer’s legal team formally dropped the lawsuit in California (there’s still one in New York).

The Tik Tok singer has been battling with her former producer for the last 2-years and it’s put a strain on her music career. 

She can’t release any new music without doing it through her record label, so she’s been stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The star tried her best to get out of her contract in order to release music without having to work without Dr. Luke. 

That’s not a huge thing to ask, considering the allegations. Right?!

It just didn’t seem to work out in Kesha’s favor, so she’s decided to see out the rest of her contractual obligations in order to do her own thing. 

That included her submitting 28 songs to her record label. 

She even recorded them at her own expense. 

She’s desperate to move on from her ordeal. 

“Kesha is focused on getting back to work and has delivered 28 new songs to the record label,” Daniel Petrocelli, partner at O’Melveny & Myers, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.

“We have conveyed to Sony Music and the label Kesha’s strong desire to release the single and an album as soon as possible.”

Kesha has made it her mission to stay singing. She’s been doing live shows to keep herself busy. 

When a huge star like Kesha doesn’t release any music for a while, there’s always that chance that their career will be over when they try and bring new music out. 

Dropping the lawsuit in California does not mean that it’s all over. 

There’s a similar lawsuit in New York that’s going full steam ahead.

The Bachelorette Season Finale Recap: Who Did JoJo Fletcher Choose?!

After three months of drama, on and off screen, The Bachelorette season finale is upon us once again, and this one should be something.

Will The Bachelorette spoilers be proven correct, or will an epic twist rock JoJo, Jordan, Robby and all of Bachelor Nation to the core?

If we want to channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment, this may indeed be the most anticipated, controversial finale of all time.

JoJo Fletcher, the beautiful Dallas real estate developer, has spent 10 weeks whittling down 25 suitors to Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes.

All the while, dispatching the likes of unstable Chad Johnson, affable Chase McNary, honorable Luke Pell and more. It’s been a wild ride.

So would JoJo give the final rose to Rodgers, the smooth, shady brother of NFL star Aaron Rodgers, with whom he no longer communicates?

Or would it go to Hayes, another jock who shares palpable chemistry with JoJo … and allegations of playing fast and loose with the truth.

Yes, both gentlemen (term used loosely) met her family as Fletcher grappled with the most difficult and consequential decision of her life.

Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially given the doubts surrounding either?

Rodgers’ history with his own family is suspect, as is his past with Brittany Farrar. Robby and Hope Higginbotham could be even worse.

So which guy got the rose, if anyone? Did they get engaged – and perhaps most consequentially of all, are they still engaged right now?

Man alive, the producers sure know how to cut a slick series finale, keeping us guessing until the bitter end how things might turn out.

JoJo’s family seemed to favor Robby up until the end, and he sure looked like a man fully confident that his proposal would be accepted.

Jordan, meanwhile, did NOT ask JoJo’s family if he could marry her, and seemed genuinely conflicted as to what he personally wanted.

One would be forgiven for feeling like a Robby Hayes upset was night until the 11th hour – and Fletcher’s final rose ceremony – Monday.

Not the case.

After all that, things ended almost exactly as predicted. Two hours of intense drama later, The Bachelorette spoilers were proven correct.

As usual. JoJo Fletcher picked Jordan Rodgers. She “wanted it to be” Robby, she told him in tears, but the heart wants what it wants.

JoRo.

He proposed, she said yes, and they all lived happily ever after … or did they? The $ 10 million-dollar question, however, remains this:

Are JoJo and Jordan still together?!

For weeks on end now, he says, “This has been coming too loud and too often to ignore. I trust these sources who have told me this.”

“Put it this way, I’ve had way more people tell they aren’t together anymore than ones that said they are,” the Oracle of Spoilers adds.

“Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is saying that everything is great, they’re in love, and things are working out perfectly,” Steve reiterated.

Asked by one Twitter fan if he was speculating about the breakup of Jordan and JoJo, the blogger stated that it’s his job “not to guess.”

Sounds like a pretty definitive IT’S OVER to us.

As for why this may not square with what we see on the After the Final Rose special? They could be putting on a good front, basically.

Wait until the media circus dies down, preserve some element of the facade that the show helps people fall in love, then quietly part ways.

We’re not saying that’s the case, but … if it were the case, we would not be the slightest bit surprised, and the reason for this is simple:

At some point, JoJo had to learn the truth.

About Jordan Rodgers, about Aaron Rodgers, about Brittany Farrar, about his other ex(es), his motives for going on the show … everything.

We’re not even saying we know what “it” is, only that she had to learn it. And, by virtue of there being something, or things, to learn?

Let’s just say we’re talking about obstacles that are obviously complex and highly emotionally charged at best, or deal-breakers at worst.

If it’s not over already … give it a few weeks.

Agree? Disagree? Did JoJo make the right choice, and regardless of how you feel about that question, will they make it to the altar?
