AFTER THE GOLD RUSH

Taylor Swift made a rare

public appearance with

actor Joe Alwyn at the

Golden Globes, where

she was nominated for

Best Original Song. Elton

John (below), who won

the award for his biopic

Rocketman, celebrated

with lifelong co-writer

Bernie Taupin and Little

Women co-star Laura

Dern. “It was one of

the most emotional

moments of my life,”

Elton said of Rocketman.

It’s been a little while since the surviving members of Nirvana shared

a stage, but they did it to benefit the Art of Elysium, an L.A. art-therapy

organization. Stepping into the role of Kurt Cobain were St. Vincent,

Beck, and Dave Grohl’s 13-year-old daughter, Violet, who nailed her

version of “Heart-shaped Box.” “I was in the most insane mosh pit of

my life in this room,” Beck told the crowd at the Hollywood Palladium.

Smells Like

Team Spirit

 BIEBZ GETS BACK

Justin Bieber’s been

quiet for the past few

years, but he plans

to come roaring back

in 2020. The singer

just released “Yummy,”

his first new single

in three years, and he’s

also promising fans

a new album, tour,

and docuseries in the

coming year. “As

humans we are

imperfect,” Bieber

recently said. “My past,

my mistakes, all the

things that I’ve been

through, I believe that

I’m right where I’m

supposed to be, and

God has me right

where he wants me. I

feel like this is different

than the previous

albums, just because of

where I’m at in my life.”

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE

Jay-Z was among the guests

at Diddy’s 50th-birthday party

at the hip-hop mogul’s L.A.

mansion. Diddy called it “one of

those nights I’ll never forget.”
