Ariana Grande’s pop princess ascent has been pretty swift. Basically, she became a major pop star in less than a year (2014) and then she spent about a year unraveling whatever goodwill she might have had. There are so many stories about Ariana’s diva antics, temper tantrums, unprofessional behavior, America-bashing, fan-hating, donut-licking and more, so much so that if even a fraction of the stories are true, we have to accept that Ariana is a terrible person. And what happens when you’re the female version of Justin Bieber? You start to believe that you’re God and no one can tell you what to do. Your unprofessional behavior escalates, because you’ve been getting away with it so far. And so Ariana didn’t even bother showing up for a scheduled taping of The Jonathan Ross Show in London this week.
With a crammed schedule, perhaps Ariana Grande just wanted one less Problem to worry about. The singer dropped a scheduled slot on The Jonathan Ross Show at the last minute, prompting the host to brand her a “lazy f*****”. The singer, 22, was said to be en route to ITV’s London studios where she was due to perform, following a perfume photocall at a nearby Boots store and a day of radio interviews. But she failed to appear for the recording of the show, to be broadcast on Saturday.
Wossy raged: “Ariana is in town. We were told she would be in the car at 6pm to be here for 7pm then it got to 7pm and she was not in the car – 7.30pm and she is still not in the motherf****** car. So I don’t think we can hold out much hope. I don’t know what it is. We are going to give Ariana the benefit of the doubt and not say anything mean or judgmental. I apologise to anyone who might have come along hoping to see her. She was booked but the lazy little f***** has not come. Maybe she has gone to her first Nando’s.”
The host was forced to close the show with his guests Joan Collins, Danny DeVito and Sheridan Smith in a karaoke rendition of Nine to Five. Ari’s reps didn’t respond to repeated requests for a comment. She had said her photocall “lifted my spirit.” Earlier this year, she apologised after she was caught on camera shouting: “I hate America.” Prior to that, her life coach quit apparently because he “couldn’t take it any more”. The singer has said she was “hurt” to be branded a diva.
Is it just me or is this one of the funniest sentences in the English language: “Her life coach quit apparently because he ‘couldn’t take it any more’”? I’m still giggling over that. Anyway, yes, Ariana Grande is a donut-licking, America-bashing, tantrum-prone, unprofessional pill. What else is there to say? It’s not like Jonathan Ross is trying to start a beef with a pop star to get attention. I truly believe Ariana was booked for the show and that her people confirmed the appearance and then… she just didn’t show up. And she didn’t give a reason. Rude.

She went to Graham Norton’s taping by mistake and her told her to bugger off?
Lol Sixer. Also, her perpetually charcoal colored eyebrows perplex me.
Thank you! Came to the comments to say that the grey eyebrow situation needs to be addressed asap.
Charcoal? Grey? How dare you reduce those stick-on strips of eyebrow awesomeness to just one shade?! Come on, she’s got some greenish/bluish/brownish stuff going on in there, too.
And thank you, mimif and MB, thank you very much for pointing those things out. My time here at Celebitchy will never be the same again.
I don’t know any of this girl’s music and I don’t care, but from a gossip standpoint I click on these stories. She’s awful basically. So it’s great to enjoy the gossip without giving details her a cent of my money.
I know one other celebrity whose life coach quit…Lohan. Just saying.
If Justin Bieber ever gets a lifecoach he’ll probably quit right away too. What’s wrong with these kids? They apparently never learned the biggest rule in showbiz – if you behave like a brat and are unreliable and rude, you will not last long. That’s a fact. They get it together or they’re gone in 1-2 years.
Put it this way, her music is the kind investigators could play on an endless loop when interrogating someone. Eventually they would crack as they begged to make it stop.
Pretty sure Amnesty International and the UN have a special ‘Ariana Grande’ clause…
Her rep will say Ariana came down with the “flu or exhaustion” and they tried to contact the show. That one photo where she has her hand on her chest reminds me a lot of Mariah Carey. She is a diva in training for sure
Well since it seems they had a car waiting for her for an hour and a half, it would be hard to convince anyone that they couldn’t contact anyone – the show’s rep was right downstairs. But I am sure you are right, that is what they will claim.
i’m conflicted. i was just a hater but then the video where he just shuts down those sexist dudebro radio hosts.. that just made me like her and her long rant on twitter on sexism and stuff. so in that regard, i like her but obviously she IS a terrible human, i mean just look at her social media mogul brother. the worst.
Minaj is like that for me. She has good points but is such an awful human being it’s hard to take seriously.
Preparing crowd friendly statements is a job that some celebs take seriously and no doubt have advisers telling them what the hot topics are and what their opinions should be. I guess you can only keep up the appearance of concern for so long.
Eh, you can hate sexism and still be a total asshole.
Let’s be honest. She hates sexism because it directly affects *her* in a negative way.
“… I apologise to anyone who might have come along hoping to see her. She was booked but the lazy little f***** has not come. Maybe she has gone to her first Nando’s.”
It has been I long time since I last said this .. but I love you Mr Ross. Celebrities get lambasted online for the smallest things these days, but there will be fans who have spent a lot of money to get there to see her and there is no excuse for her behaviour; well there are some excuses but unless they involve illness, accident or bereavement they are not good enough, and even for those excuses she or her people should have sent her sincere apologies.
God, she’s awful.
And I love Wossy, he’s one of the rare talk show hosts who grills celebrities a bit and isn’t fawning over them.
Yeah, Jonny boy knows what’s what that’s for sure.
I figure maybe she saw the words “chat show” and figured it would be like US chat shows, where things are planned and almost scripted and generally fairly tame because she gets to cherry pick topics, then found out that his show is a little more free wheeling and he will ask you literally ANYTHING he wants, and she chickened out and being the gross ignoramus she is, didn’t even think to bother telling anyone. What a loser.
She could always go the Lindsay Lohan route. She make millions dressed as school girl.
Blinds have her hooking up for much more money than she would have gotten on the Ross show.
Just saying.
Her fake tan, makeup, hair… Jesus. Just horrible. There must be something in the water all over Europe because all these spoiled brats like her and biber are not able to keep their sh#t together when they go across the ocean. LOL.
Her pink makeup and mouse-ears hair style are clearly intended to play up the 12 year old vibe and then she pairs it with those come hither poses. Its like shes courting the pedo fanbase in the hope that those old pervs never wikipedia her real age. Shes gross.
i know dude. her spray tan is like due to be redone last thursday and her foundation is …ummm… not a dead match with her skin tone. maybe its her, maybe its maybelline, or maybe the chick at the M A C counter pulled the wrong bottle of foundation. who knows but its not coming across as polished.
Her eyebrows bother me so much.
Me too! They look blue in the last picture. They NEVER look the right color!
All I know of her is she’s horrible, entitled, and unprofessional. Can she stop being a thing now? There’s no need for her to continue to be famous, right?
She has a good voice, at least.
haha
She’s definitely got a set of pipes on her.
What pisses me off are the celebrities who think their talent excuses them from honouring their commitments, showing up on time, being polite (you know, being professional). Eventually, your talent doesn’t matter if no one will work with you.
She is clearly a spoiled little idiot but I also don’t think she has a great voice. Not my cup of tea.
It’s true. Her name was on the list for the show taped last Monday (and had been on the list for weeks) and she didn’t show up. This is one of the biggest chatshows on UK TV, so to just not turn up is really shocking. It’s like standing up the Tonight Show.
Just put a coat on properly please! She got flu from having exposed shoulders all the time, that’s the reason I bet you.
I do like how she schooled those misogynistic douchebags on their radio show so…that’s something nice.
She looks like Minnie Mouse 🙂
Truly unprofessional. I don’t know any singer/musician who bailed at the very last minute like that for a musical performance on a late-night talk show like this.
See, I can believe Ariana would pull a stunt like this…what I can’t believe is that her publicist would. Part of me is a little suspicious because even the worst publicist in the world would call and cancel even if it was last minute.
I found that part weird, too. Is there still no statement? Why not just a quick, “she’s ill, sorry”? Maybe her publicist quit, too, because he couldn’t take it anymore. Or he’s sabotaging her, she’s that bad. Or some more sinister scenarios involving bodies in closets that I won’t go into. Suspicious, indeed.
Between Bieber flipping chairs at restaurants in Cannes and storming off like a petulant toddler and now Ariana’s lazy, no show diva antics for a professional appearance, not a good week for Scooter Braun and Co.
It annoys me when someone who has finally made it big acts this way. There are so many who are truly talented and never get discovered. It’s almost like winning a lottery. So when that level has been achieved being humble and appreciative is how someone should feel. Miss Bratz doll should remember that those she passed on the way up will be waving goodbye on her way down.
You are spot on, humility is the most endearing quality in my book.
Yup! I said this in a different comment but eventually your talent doesn’t mean much if you’re so much of a pill that no one will book you. Jeebus, how hard is it just honour your commitments or make a phone call and cancel with your regrets? Being a professional has just become too much of a pain for people like her and Bieber, I guess.
I actually miss wossys show on bbc1! I like graham Norton but I do miss wossys wit and lack of respect for Hollywood. Nortons a bit too nice.
Wow – that’s very very unprofessional behaviour, even for her. Someone’s image and career are imploding. In a couple of years people will be ‘Who’.
Also i was in Boots last week and there was a stand at the door with a cut out of her and young models forcing you to take samples of her perfume. God does EVERY celeb have a perfume now?
Why does she wear her hair like that? Looks stupid . Tbh, the way she dresses and acts, she comes across as deep as a puddle. No wonder those guys on the radio assumed she was a vapid idiot
Isn’t that the pop star equivalent of not showing up for work? Like no call, no show how do you get away with that? Especially a taping for a show. You just burned that bridge.
I’m not a fan but there could have been a mix up and I’m admitting that I fall in her favor because I really like how she called out sexist dudes.
This generation. Entitled, disrespectful, self-absorbed. They need to be called out on it and Ross did it. Unfortunately her fans probably don’t know who he is…
