Nick Cannon Considers Dating Taylor Swift On “The Howard Stern Show”

by

Nick Cannon says that he’s currently satisfied with having 12 kids, but would make an exception for one woman in particular, Taylor Swift. Cannon appeared on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, Monday, and discussed the current state of his love life.

The discussion kicked off with Stern asking Cannon whether he’ll have more kids. “Every time I answer this question – I can never answer it correctly because I don’t know,” Nick admitted with a laugh. “I’m happy currently with the [children] that I got.” As for the type of woman that could make Cannon reconsider, he said, “She’d have to be cold. She’d have to be amazing.”

From there, Stern asked if Taylor Swift would be that type of woman. “Absolutely, I’m in — let’s go … That’s the one!” Cannon replied. He went on to praise her songwriting abilities and willingness to be vulnerable in her music before concluding, “Me and Taylor’s numbers are very similar when we’re talking about being in these streets. So, I think she would relate to me very well. We probably would really understand each other.”

Co-host Robin Quivers remarked, “She’s free and single,” to which Cannon joked, “My Spidey-Sense is tingling. I think that would be amazing.” Swift had been in a relationship with her longtime partner, Joe Alwyn, for six years before the two called it quits in recent weeks. News of their breakup was first reported by ET. The outlet cited sources that said the split was amicable and “it was not dramatic.” They added that “the relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.” They’ve yet to comment on the breakup publically, but throughout their time together, both were very private about their relationship. Swift is currently traveling the world to perform on her sold-out 52-stop Eras Tour.

Elsewhere in Cannon’s interview on The Howard Stern Show, he discussed his relationship with Will Smith and the Oscars slap, being friends with Pete Davidson, and more. Check out a clip from Cannon’s appearance on the show below.

Lizzo Fires Back At “White Music” Criticism

by

Lizzo has responded to critics who have complained that she makes “White Music.” Speaking with Howard Stern on his radio show, the “About Damn Time” singer labeled the comments “very hurtful.”

“[It is] very hurtful only because I am a Black woman,” Lizzo explained. “I feel like it challenges my identity and who I am. It diminishes that, which I think is really hurtful. And on the other end, I’m making funky, soulful, feel-good music that is so similar to a lot of Black music that was made for Black people in the ’70s and ’80s.”

She continued: “Then, on top of that, my message is literally for everybody and anybody. And I don’t try to gatekeep my message from people. So, all three of those things from me, and I’m like, you don’t even get me at all. I feel like a lot of people truthfully don’t get me, which is why I wanted to do the documentary. I feel like y’all don’t get me. Y’all don’t know where I came from. And now, I don’t want to answer no more questions about this shit. I just want to show the world who I am.”

Lizzo previously addressed the same remarks during an interview with Vanity Fair in October. At the time, she described her music as stemming from “my Black experience.”

Her interview with Howard Stern comes after the release of her new HBO documentary, Love, Lizzo. She also released her fourth studio album, Special, in 2022. The project later peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart.

by

“Harry & Meghan,” a six-part Netflix docuseries on the royal couple, debuted on the streaming platform earlier this month and caused a number of mixed reactions. 

Howard Stern recently offered his take on the trending show, commenting that it’s been “painful to watch” and that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear as “whiny b***hes.”

According to Mediaite, the controversial radio host shared that he tuned into “Harry & Meghan” with his wife before slamming the couple’s portrayal on the docuseries.

“It’s been painful. I don’t…I wouldn’t stay with it, but my wife wants to watch it, so, you know, we have shows we watch, but they come off like such whiny b***hes. I gotta tell you man, I just don’t get it,” the 68-year-old commented on The Howard Stern Show.

Saying that he feels bad “for Prince Harry losing his mother and all that,” Stern added, “So you got my empathy there. But Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘wah wah wah, and they don’t like me’ and she wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man, you know, it’s just very weird to watch two people who keep screaming, ‘We wanted our privacy, we wanted the press to leave us alone.’”

“And then what is their special that they put out on Netflix — showing you them and their kids and their life. It’s like the Kardashians except boring,” the SiriusXM host also stated.

Netflix premiered the first three episodes of “Harry & Meghan” on Dec. 8, with the last few episodes making their debut this Thursday (Dec. 15).

The pair get candid on the anticipated docuseries, discussing their relationship history, Prince Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, and life in the public eye.

According to Deadline, “Harry & Meghan” proved to be great for Netflix’s ratings, with the first episode pulling in over two million viewers.

Lizzo Was Worried The Grammys Were Going To ‘Overlook’ Her Album ‘Special’ Because 2022 Was Such A ‘Goated Year’

by

The race to the 2023 Grammys is on. But, even after earning a No. 1 hit with the single “About Damn Time” and high praise from industry peers, including Missy Elliott, singer Lizzo wasn’t sure if her sophomore album, Special, would make the cut.

The singer stopped by SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show to discuss the multi-nominated project. When asked who she’s facing off with, the singer chuckled, “All of the greatest and biggest names in music: Beyoncé, Bad Bunny, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, you name it… God!”

Remaining humble, Lizzo shared, “I genuinely feel like a winner already. When I go to the Grammys, and I walk the carpet with f*cking gown and look f*cking amazing, and I go on that stage and perform my f*cking ass off, and everybody loves the sh*t out of it — I’m like, that’s my trophy. It really is.”

She continued, “And to be nominated in this goated year — I remember being like, what if they just completely overlook my album because Harry [Styles], Adele, Beyoncé, all of these big people, Kendrick Lamar drop, what if they overlook my album? Which could have easily happened. It’s the sophomore blues, they always say. Your second album kind of flops, and I did the opposite of that. I got a No. 1 [record] and six Grammy nominations. I’m winning. I’m good.”

That’s nothing to brush off, either. Lizzo is currently nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song Of The Year, Best Remixed Recording, and Album Of The Year.

In another portion of the interview, Lizzo also discussed the criticism her music receives for being “white-sounding,” saying, “[It is] very hurtful only because I am a Black woman. I feel like it challenges my identity and who I am. It diminishes that, which I think is really hurtful. And on the other end, I’m making funky, soulful, feel-good music that is so similar to a lot of Black music that was made for Black people in the ’70s and ’80s.”

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards are going down on February 5, 2023.

Lizzo Responded To ‘White Music’ Comments Again On ‘Howard Stern’: ‘It Challenges My Identity And Who I Am’

by

“About Damn Time” singer Lizzo was a creative force to be reckoned with this year in every aspect. Professionally, Lizzo had a lengthy run on Billboard‘s Hot 100 Charts and was named this year’s top TikTik artist. In addition, as a humanitarian advocate, the singer provided platforms for several causes, including fellow feminists and LGBTQ+ activists. The Texas representer even found love. Yet, despite all these positive things for the public to focus on, criticisms of her “white-sounding” music still flooded social media.

During her interview with radio jockey Howard Stern, the Grammy-award winner addressed the online remarks also brought up in her documentary, Love, Lizzo.

When asked how the criticism made her feel, Lizzo replied, “[It is] very hurtful only because I am a Black woman. I feel like it challenges my identity and who I am. It diminishes that, which I think is really hurtful. And on the other end, I’m making funky, soulful, feel-good music that is so similar to a lot of Black music that was made for Black people in the ’70s and ’80s.”

Staring at the host, Lizzo continued, “Then, on top of that, my message is literally for everybody and anybody. And I don’t try to gatekeep my message from people. So, all three of those things from me, and I’m like, you don’t even get me at all. I feel like a lot of people truthfully don’t get me, which is why I wanted to do the documentary. I feel like y’all don’t get me. Y’all don’t know where I came from. And now, I don’t want to answer no more questions about this sh*t. I just want to show the world who I am.”

This isn’t the first time the Emmy-award winner addressed the remarks. In October, Lizzo told Vanity Fair, “I am not making music for white people. I am a Black woman. I am making music from my Black experience, for me to heal myself [from] the experience we call life.”

Marginalized entertainers often face these remarks after breaking into mainstream culture. So, although it shouldn’t be necessary, it is good to see Lizzo standing up for her art.

Lizzo’s Love, Lizzo documentary is available exclusively on HBO Max.
