Rita Ora missed her cue at a Thanksgiving parade in New York and revealed to the world that she was lip-syncing. Arrggh!

Rita was performing on a float and couldn’t seem to hear her backing track, leaving her a few bars behind:

Aw noooo. People were absolutely DISGUSTED that she would DARE to lip sync at this most VENERABLE of American institutions, a parade organised by a retail giant, but fellow performer John Legend leapt to her defence:

Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don't have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance. Hope y'all enjoyed it anyway. Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live! https://t.co/C2bGj63AF6

“We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance,” he wrote. And that makes complete sense, so cool your jets, people.

Rita thanked John for coming to her aid, and said that at her gigs, she’s 100% live:

Fun fact @johnlegend thank you for clarifying what I was about to also tweet. It’s annoying for us but anyway! All my shows are 100 percent live always have been! When you come to a ORA show get ready! Back to holidays! Have a good one guys! 🙂 X https://t.co/pO5hnnQgvg

Sometimes we’re rude about Rita, but we’re with her on this one.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have arrived in India ahead of their wedding celebrations next week. 

The couple are reportedly having a ‘multi-day’ ceremony from November 30 to December 2, and spent Thanksgiving in Delhi with a host of family and friends:

Brother Joe Jonas and sister-in-law Sophie Turner don’t seem to have arrived yet – according to their Instagrams, they’re celebrating Thanksgiving up in some snowy mountains somewhere.

It’s been a whirlwind relationship for Nick and Priyanka, who got engaged in July of this year after a few months of dating. No slowing down now…

Taylor Lautner (AKA Jacob from Twilight) celebrated the film’s ten year anniversary by posting a meme featuring him and Kendall Jenner. As you do.

Taylor had to wear a dodgy wig for the role (he got to ditch it for the sequel, TG), and credited Kendall for being his ‘hair inspiration’:

Good to see he can be a sport about it all. #TeamJacobForever

And now it’s time for… #TBT
