The Grammys might be missing a Kanye West appearance this year: The rapper said during a Saturday show that he won't attend the awards show if Frank Ocean doesn't nab any nominations for his recently released albums, Endless and Blonde.
According to a rep for the Grammys, neither of Ocean's albums were submitted for consideration despite both being released well before the Sept. 30 eligibility cut-off date. (The visual album Endless arrived Aug. 19, while Blonde dropped Aug. 20.) Therefore, he is no longer eligible -- but West seems to think there's still a chance Ocean could get a nomination.

"I'll tell you this right now, if his album is not nominated in no categories, I'm not showing up to the Grammys," West said Saturday. "As artists, we've got to come together to fight the bull----."

West's not the only fan of Ocean's latest: Blonde, the musician's first studio album since 2012's Channel Orange, debuted at No…

Hillary Clinton has a 12-point lead over Donald Trump and has reached 50% support nationally among likely voters, a new ABC News tracking poll shows. 
The poll shows Clinton with 50% support to Trump's 38%, with 5% backing Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2% supporting the Green Party's Jill Stein.  The poll comes on the heels of the third presidential debate, which a post-debate CNN/ORC snap poll showed Clinton won.  The ABC News survey's results show Clinton with a 20-point advantage among women, and a 3-point edge with men -- a group that has tilted toward Trump for most of the 2016 race.  Clinton leads among voters of all education levels -- but her 3-point advantage with those without college degrees is smaller than her 20-point lead among voters with college degrees.  Trump's strongest group remains white, non-college educated voters, who back him 55% to 36%.  The results showing Clinton with a growing lead largely match CNN's Poll of Polls, which averages re…

American comedian Leslie Jones ridiculed the hackers who released intimate photos of her, during a sketch on Saturday Night Live (SNL).
The Ghostbusters star, who has been subjected to racist online abuse, had her private photos and documents posted online in August.
But she told SNL's television audience the attacks were "nothing".

"At a certain point you stop being embarrassed and start being you," she said.
Jones, who is a regular cast member on the show, addressed the topic passionately during the "weekend update" segment.
"All they did was release some nude pics of me - which is nothing, because, I don't know if you all know this about me, but I ain't shy," she said.
"I am very comfortable with who I am. I am an open book," she said, before telling anyone who wanted to see her naked to "just ask".
 The actress - who briefly quit Twitter over the summer after receiving racist abuse - said that hurting someone…

Wearing pajamas when they entered, Trump "grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission."
He also asked what it was like to film pornography, Drake said. After she returned to …
