Earlier this year, the singer revealed that he would no longer submit his music to the Grammys because his best selling album After Hours wasn’t nominated for a single award this year.  He said in a statement to The New York Times, “Even though I won’t be submitting my music, the Grammys’ recent admission of corruption will hopefully be a positive move for the future of this plagued award and give the artist community the respect it deserves with a transparent voting process.”

LADY GAGA’S DOGNAPPERS AND WOMAN WHO RETURNED HER DOGS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED – (04/30/2021)

Five people have been arrested in connection to the robbery and attempted murder of Lady Gaga’s dogwalker. Her dogs have since been returned.

The Los Angeles Police Department nabbed five suspects after executing search and arrest warrants this week. Although the suspects knew the high value of the breed of dogs, they apparently had no idea of the Lady Gaga connection.

According to police, all five have now been charged with attempted murder for their part in a dogs-for-cash scheme. One of them was the alleged “Good Samaritan” who tried to turn the French bulldogs into police – for the hefty $500,000 reward. The police became suspicious and that ultimately led to their arrest.

In February, Gaga’s dogwalker, Ryan Fischer, was out with the star’s dogs — Koji, Gustav, and Miss Asia, when he was shot and left for dead. He spent nearly a month in the hospital recovering.

JASON SEGEL AND ALEXIS MIXTER SPLIT AFTER EIGHT YEARS – (04/30/2021)

Jason Segel and Alexis Mixter have split up after eight years together. 

Mixter shared the news on Instagram Thursday (April 29th) alongside a photo of the pair on a “great day.”

The 42-year-old artist wrote, “This is a photo of two best friends. This guy and I have shared so much life together. Changed each other at a soul deep level. All for the better. The depth of our bond was something I could never have anticipated. I’ve never spent so much time with another person, grown so much alongside someone else, laughed so much, cried so much, shared so much. It is odd to write about the end of a relationship, especially when the friendship that still exists is so full of life. But change happens and we made the decision quite a while ago to let ourselves grow away from what our relationship had been and into what it was becoming.

“Announcing a breakup on social media is a strange feeling. Some won’t understand why it is necessary and that’s okay. Having a public romantic relationship is not easy. Ending one feels like navigating a road that doesn’t even exist. We are private people when it comes to our personal lives and I intend to keep it that way. My feelings while writing this are only ones of love and gratitude. Gratitude to the universe for putting this man in my life the way it did and then allowing us the grace to decide that what we had, could become more. Because that is what our friendship feels like. More. More than either of us could have asked for in another person. This post is a tribute to love and friendship and those relationships that make life worth living. 

“Thank you J for being my best friend. The person who shares all my favorite jokes, sees who I really am and all I want to be, loves me unconditionally and makes me always strive to be bigger and better than I was yesterday. I will never stop cheering you on with every cell of my body. I will never stop loving you unconditionally.”

The two began dating in December 2013 and made their red carpet debut in 2016 at a fundraiser hosted by Sean Penn.
