Miranda Lambert‘s got a lot on her plate right now, so much so the country star’s going to miss the Grammys on Sunday.

Chris Rock‘s brother didn’t mince words when addressing Will Smith‘s Oscars slap, slamming the “King Richard” star for the controversial moment heard and seen around the world.

While you may want the Oscar slap heard ’round the world to stop reverberating, its echo keeps ganing mileage. While Will Smith got ahead of the Academy and resigned last night before they could weigh in with any major punitive reprisals—a wise and canny move—the conversation continues.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn many ways, “Daily Show” star Trevor Noah has been the most challenged Grammy Awards host in history: Last year he emceed the first-ever pandemic show, which featured the traditional awards and somewhat traditional performances, but in a semi-outdoor setting before a small, rotating audience of artists, presenters and staff. This year it’s a more-normal show, although it’s been rescheduled to Sunday from its original Jan.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorEven in the years when the Grammys have seemed predictable, they rarely are — anyone remember Soy Bomb?And in an era when all bets already seemed to be unprecedentedly off, in the past days we’ve seen Kanye West disinvited from performing — although sources say talks are still ongoing with him, as well as Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and others — Foo Fighters cancel their scheduled performance due to drummer Taylor Hawkins’ tragic and untimely death on March 25; and of course Will Smith’s smack heard ‘round the world has changed how organizers approach major awards shows forever. Thus, we’re going into Grammy Weekend with a roll-with-it spirit that seems to extend to the organizers of the show as well. “It’s live television.

The slap heard around the world is still reverberating, both in the media and probably in the emotional psyches of Will Smith and Chris Rock. And while Smith has apologized for slapping the presenter at the Oscars this past weekend, and Jada Pinkett Smith has called for “healing,” Rock has stayed silent so far on the matter.

Summer Of Soul producer Joseph Patel has said that Will Smith “robbed” Questlove of his winning moment and last week’s Oscars.Questlove was handed the Best Documentary statue by Chris Rock at this year’s ceremony, just moments after Smith slapped Rock onstage over a joke he made about wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. In 2018, Pinkett Smith revealed she has alopecia.Smith has been widely criticised for his outburst. While accepting the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard, he apologised to the Academy as well as his fellow nominees in the category.He later issued a formal apology to Rock, admitting: “I was out of line and I was wrong.” The Oscars, meanwhile, launched a formal review into the incident while condemning Smith’s actions.Today (March 31) Joseph Patel posted a lengthy thread on Twitter to share “some thoughts and feelings on what happened Sunday night”, adding that he’s “still sort of processing” everything.“I think what Will did was selfish,” he continued.

As we wait on pins and needles for Chris Rock’s reaction to the now-infamous slap at Sunday’s Oscars ceremony, there are still reactions from attendees trickling in. Yesterday, fellow comedian Jim Carrey weighed in, defending Rock’s poise while calling Hollywood’s standing ovation for Smith’s Best Actor win “spineless” and “sickening.” As the controversy continues to metastasize and the Academy, SAG, and others review and consider disciplinary measures, Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, the target of Rock’s joke, has called for “healing.” However, that’s certainly not going to be the last of all the takes.

Adam Sandler is showing support for his longtime friend, Chris Rock, following the incident between the comedian and Will Smith during the Oscars on Sunday night.  Sandler, 55, shared a picture of Rock’s upcoming tour on his Instagram Tuesday, and captioned it, "Can't wait for this. Love you buddy!" The two comedians have a long history of working together, stemming from their time on "Saturday Night Live" in the '90s.  Adam Sandler is showing support for his longtime friend, Chris Rock.  (Monica Schipper/Getty Images for Netflix) Since then, the duo has starred in several movies together, including, "The Longest Yard" in 2005, "Grown Ups" in 2010 and its sequel that premiered in 2013.  Sandler’s post comes right at the heels of Smith’s public apology to Rock.  On Monday, Smith took to Instagram, sharing two images with his apology written on top.  His full statement read: "My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.

Whoopi Goldberg, moderator of ABC’s The View and a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors, said today that she accepts Will Smith’s apology for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars Sunday, but that “There are consequences. There are big consequences because nobody is OK with what happened. Nobody, nobody, nobody.”
