Taylor Berman · 02/10/13 11:39PMDid Jack White and/or Ruby Amanfu Say 'Fuck' During Their Grammys Performance?
Rich Juzwiak · 02/10/13 11:10PMThe lyrics of Jack White's "Love Interruption" go: "I want love to walk right up and bite me / Grab a hold of me and fight me." During his Grammy Awards performance with Ruby Amanfu, it sounds like one or both of them may have said "fuck" instead of "fight." But maybe they didn't.
Justin Bieber Is Not Having a Very Good Grammys Night (UPDATE)
Taylor Berman · 02/10/13 09:17PM
Justin Bieber's questionable decision to counter-program the Grammy's with a livestream of his own (revenge for his Grammy snub, no doubt) is – surprise, surprise – not going so well. It seems as though Biebz or, more likely, his management team (ban Scooter) didn't anticipate the power of Beliebers and the U-Stream went over capacity. And then Bieber got sad :(
Here's Video of the Giant Tornado That Hit Mississippi Earlier Tonight (UPDATE)
Taylor Berman · 02/10/13 08:27PMAs those of us in the northeast recover from Nemo the giant snowstorm that hit this weekend, our Southern brethren are dealing with a massive storm of their own. Sunday evening a tornado touched down in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, part of a wave of severe storms that passed through Mississippi and Louisiana. As you can see from the video above, the tornado was mammoth. Major damage was reported in Hattiesburg, which is the home of the University of Southern Mississipi. No injuries were reported on the university's campus, though CNN reports three injured in the region. We'll have updates as more information comes in.

Mallory Ortberg · 02/10/13 12:45PM
The best interviews either confirm something that viewers have always hoped to be true or surprises them utterly; Emmanuelle Riva does both. Of course she is too tired to attend the BAFTAs; of course she is happiest when she is working. She is everything we want an 85-year-old Frenchwoman in the middle of an unexpected career resurgence and more.
New York Times Junior: All Trend Pieces All The Time?
Max Rivlin-Nadler · 02/10/13 11:45AM
Imagine: a New York Times without articles about retirement or a Health section, no Gail Collins, and Paul Krugman wearing a bandana and a cool pair of shades. Endless trend pieces about the death of chivalry and instead of a Metro section, just something called BKLN. The Style section grows three times as large, and covers the same young literary darlings multiple times per edition ("They're young, Ivy-bred, have read Baudrillard, and love cigarettes. Totally boss.")
