News has exclusively learned that the Scandal star and hubby Nnamdi Asomugha have welcomed their second child together. The actress gave birth to a baby boy, Caleb Kelechi Asomugha, on Oct. 5. Other details were not immediately available. E!

Kerry and Nnamdi's happy news came as the proud parents continue to raise daughter Isabelle away from the public eye. The Hollywood couple are known to keep their personal life very private, but the celeb couldn't help but talk at least a little bit about how amazing motherhood has been. "I will say I feel really, really blessed," Kerry gushed to the Los Angeles Times in one of her first interviews after welcoming her first child. "I just feel really blessed that I'm kind of living extraordinary dreams come true in my work life and in my personal life." Along with the excitement of Washington's second pregnancy, speculation began to stir as to whether or not writers will be including her baby bump into Olivia Pope's story line for season six. However, when we recently caught up with the star, that didn't seem to be the plan. "As far as I know, we're going to be hiding things," she told E! News at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Golf Classic in June. "But stay tuned!" Once again, Washington made pregnancy look easy as she stunned at various events throughout these last months. "Kerry Washington [has] been feeling well with carrying her second child," a source told E! News in May. "She is getting tired though more and is looking forward to the summer." The insider added that the mama-to-be made sure to keep fit throughout her pregnancy. "She has been working out with different yoga methods and eating healthy. She has always been very weight conscious so she knows exactly what she puts in her mouth all the time."

Shia LaBeouf Confirms Wedding With Mia Goth, Admits It Wasn't Meant to Be Live-Streamed. Shia LaBeouf is officially a married man. The American Honey star appears on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday and confirms to host Ellen DeGeneres that his live-streamed Las Vegas ceremony with fiancee Mia Goth was legitimate. "Congratulations, I think you just got married," Ellen tells him. "You said you think because you thought I was messing around or something," Shia responds. "No, I didn't. I would believe you. I'm very gullible like that," DeGeneres says. "If somebody says they're getting married and they got married I'm like, 'Oh good.' And then somebody said maybe he didn't because he does these performance pieces." A fair observation given Shia's history with performance art, but the Transformers alum admits it was for real -- but it wasn't meant to be live-streamed for the masses. "The plan was for it to be a private deal," Shia explains, "and part of the package, the King Tut package, you get a live stream for free -- part of the deal. And I said, 'You know we don't really need that as a matter of fact. We'll just take our private tape. We got our Mom's there and they said no problem." But as Shia fans around the world know, that's not how it turned out. "We get back home and it's like, woah hey listen, something changed! I call them up and they said somebody pressed the wrong button that sends the video to TMZ," he adds. "I said I understood. I checked with my girl and she said, 'Hey what are you gonna do?' And you know, it's love. We're proud of it. It was love." Shia continues to see the bright side of the live stream, as both his and Mia's fathers couldn't be there on their special day. "It was kind of nice to have them their watching in a way," he notes. Two days after the wedding, Nevada's Clark County clerk Twitter account tweeted that there wasn't any marriage license filed, which caused further speculation that the marriage wasn't real. "Our records show no marriage license for Shia LaBeouf & Mia Goth. A commitment ceremony was performed #Vegas," the account tweeted. (Eonline)

Tobey Maguire and Wife Jennifer Meyer Separate. Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer are breaking up after nine years of marriage, his rep confirms to E! News. "After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple," Tobey and Jennifer told People in a joint statement Tuesday. "As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship." The exes who met in 2003, are parents to daughter Ruby Maguire, 9, and son Otis Maguire, 7. The actor, 41, and the jewelry designer, 39, are based in California. Throughout their marriage, the stars said little about each other in interviews. But in May 2007, Tobey -- who'd welcomed Ruby five months earlier -- opened up about his family. "It's a very dramatic change. My whole life is in transition now with friendships and where I'm gonna live, you know? Just your whole perspective," he said. "It's great." As for Ruby, he gushed, "She's so adorable. She's just a smiley, little beautiful thing." At the time, Tobey also revealed that he planned to tie the knot with Jennifer in a small ceremony later that year. "I'm very excited to marry Jen," he told David Letterman on The Late Show. The former couple did indeed exchange vows that September. Their sunset ceremony took place in Kona, Hawaii, in front of a small group of family and friends, including Tobey's BFF Leonardo DiCaprio. Now that he's single, Tobey will likely be leaning on his pals, including magician David Blaine, actor Lukas Haas, director Harmony Korine and rapper Q-Tip. Jennifer is part of quite a starry squad, too: She counts Jennifer Aniston, Erin Foster, Sara Foster, Kate Hudson and Nicole Richie among her A-list friends. (Eonline)

Amanda Seyfried Opens Up About Living With Mental Illness. Amanda Seyfried is who she is, and she doesn't pretend otherwise. So, while discussing home renovations in Allure's November issue, the Fathers and Daughters actress casually mentions she has obsessive compulsive disorder. "I bought the house in 2013, and then I had it redone," Seyfried, 30, says of the home she owns in Stone Ridge, N.Y., located about 100 miles north of New York City. "I just finished renovating one of the barns for guests. I put in a bathroom and a little kitchenette, but no stove; I want people to eat meals in the house. Also, I always worry about people and how they use stoves. Which is just a controlling thing." That worry, she explains, is related to her OCD. "I'm on Lexapro, and I'll never get off of it," Seyfried says of needing an antidepressant. "I've been on it since I was 19, so 11 years. I'm on the lowest dose. I don't see the point of getting off of it. Whether it's placebo or not, I don't want to risk it. And what are you fighting against? Just the stigma of using a tool? A mental illness is a thing that people cast in a different category [from other illnesses], but I don't think it is. It should be taken as seriously as anything else." Seyfried, who had previously discussed being in therapy, does what she can to manage her disease. "You don't see the mental illness: It's not a mass; it's not a cyst. But it's there. Why do you need to prove it? If you can treat it, you treat it," she tells the magazine. "I had pretty bad health anxiety that came from the OCD and thought I had a tumor in my brain. I had an MRI, and the neurologist referred me to a psychiatrist. As I get older, the compulsive thoughts and fears have diminished a lot. Knowing that a lot of my fears are not reality-based really helps." Fame has made living with OCD interesting, to say the least. "It's funny when insecurity hits you. Sometimes I feel I know the world so well, but then...it's so debilitating. You're like, 'What am I doing here? No one wants to see me. Why are you taking my picture?'" Seyfried says. "It's stupid, it's irrational, and it's not all about me, but I make it about me because I'm insecure." So, when she's feeling insecure, the Allentown, Penn., native retreats to her home in upstate New York to find her center. "I love this place so much. I love this town!" Seyfried says. "There's a little strip mall. But it's a cute strip mall. There's a Dunkin' Donuts, a reflexology place. Even the grocery store is special. It's the classic small-town grocery. There's a lot of local things happening. And then I go to the farm stand. Everything you get is absolutely local. But I also have a garden. Kale. Romaine. I just planted blueberries last year. Tomatoes aren't out yet." Seyfried and fiance Thomas Sadoski have big plans for their estate. "We have a whole new design for the property. We're going to get a goat and a pig; they're going to grow up together, so there shouldn't be trouble," she says. In addition to her dog, Finn, Seyfried has rescued two cats. She also has a rooster and four chickens -- and the chickens can troublesome. "Now here's a f--king weird thing: They stopped laying. They didn't lay for a good six months," she says. "They have a really good home, and they were super fertile, and then they just stopped. Then we got four more chickens, and the other ones started laying again. I think they're threatened." If this doesn't sound like the glamorous life of a movie star, that's fine by Seyfried. "I hope I wasn't too boring," she says. "If I was, you should feel free to make anything up that you want."

Inside Bristol Palin's Whirlwind Year: How Sarah Palin's Daughter Survived Babies, Weddings and a Custody Battle. It's safe to say being 25 was one unforgettable chapter in Bristol Palin's life. As the famous daughter to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin celebrates her birthday Tuesday, it's impossible not to highlight the past 12 months that have been filled with milestones and memorable moments. Shortly before celebrating Christmas, Bristol welcomed a beautiful baby girl into her family. "My sweet Sailor Grace was born yesterday, our family couldn't be more complete," she shared from the hospital. "My heart just doubled." What came next were candid photos that followers couldn't help but ooh and aww over.

Bristol would address the development in a lengthy Instagram post. "These babies are my world and I will always be doing what is best for them. Every child deserves two loving parents, so I will continue to encourage that no matter what. I have never, and will never, keep them from having a positive relationship with their fathers," she wrote. "I did not 'lose' any custody case -- my son has always spent most of his time with me and he will continue to do so, he is happy, healthy, and knows both of his parents love him." Ultimately, everything changed when Bristol said "I Do" to her on-again, off-again boyfriend Dakota Meyer in June. "We are so happy to share with loved ones the wonderful news that we got married!" the couple announced to Entertainment Tonight. "Hard work and God's grace are the foundation of our new life together, and with the love and support of our family we know we can get through anything." The couple even received support from Sarah who couldn't say enough good things about her new son-in-law. "He's a wonderful young man, Medal of Honor winner. Such a patriot!" Sarah shared with E! News. "I love Dakota." As a new year begins, Bristol is focused on family time and creating nothing but happy memories with those closest to her. Whether enjoying a night out at the state fair with The Band Perry, marking the first day of school on Instagram or enjoying some mother-son time with homework, life with Bristol isn't so out of the ordinary these days. "Life is full of ups and downs but in the end, you'll end up where you're supposed to be," Bristol and her husband shared when announcing their wedding. (Eonline)

Kelly Clarkson Wins the E!Q in 42: Just When You Thought You Knew Everything About the Singer, Along Comes This. Kelly Clarkson broke some sort of awesomeness record while taking the E!Q in 42. Seriously, we didn't set out to have this be a competition, but Kelly just won all the same. Blazing through our questions about wake-up times, bed size, sex vs. naps, Prince William vs. Prince Harry and more, the vibrant singer and children's book author happily -- and quite thoughtfully -- shared all sorts of insight into what makes her tick. Such as the reason she and Prince Harry wouldn't get along, etc. Let's just say, River Rose and Remington Alexander Blackstock have a very wise mama. Meanwhile, Clarkson's latest project had a musical theme, though it wasn't music -- rather, she penned her first children's book, River Rose and the Magical Lullaby, which debuted Oct. 4. And yes, she does have plans for a series. "I would have loved her life when I was a kid," Clarkson said of her eldest child, who turned 2 in June, when she sat down with E! News to talk family, parenting, music and book-writing. Another album is also in the works, her first since her American Idol-issued contract with RCA and 19 Recordings finally came to an end with Piece by Piece. Noting that she loved the songs she sang during that chapter of her career, Clarkson added, "I'm now working with a team that has the same vision as me, and we're making the album I wanted to make since forever." Sounds like a whole bunch of magical lullabies waiting to happen. (Eonline)

Ryan Lochte Talks Coming Out of a ''Dark Hole'' Following His Rio Robbery Scandal: ''I Was at My Lowest Low." Ryan Lochte is recalling the weeks following his Rio robbery scandal. The Olympian chatted with New York Magazine during a shopping trip to the Grove recently -- where he divulged he just got his very first credit card -- and opened up about coming out of a really bad place following the controversy over the summer. "I was at my lowest low. The darkest place of my life," he recalled of the aftermath from the story he told about being robbed at gunpoint at a gas station in the Brazilian city. He admitted to staying in his North Carolina home for days at a time, fearful of running into anyone, especially reporters. While many of his endorsements and deals began cutting ties with him, one offer remained on the table: Dancing With the Stars. Lochte said he almost didn't do the show, despite having just moved to Los Angeles. "I didn't want to put myself out there just yet," he explained. "I was scared to show my face in public." He eventually changed his mind and is now feeling exceptionally glad he did. "If I wasn't on this show, I don't know what I would have done," he admitted. "This has really gotten me out of the dark hole." Although he says DWTS is "like a full-time job," he finds himself with a little more free time these days. "It's weird to have this free time," he told the publication. "But it's cool because I actually get to do stuff I couldn't do before." For example, he opened up his very first credit card and planned an elaborate engagement to his girlfriend, Playboy model Kayla Rae Reid. "I want to pick out the cake, the flowers, all of it," he said about his involvement in planning the wedding. Still, he looks forward to being able to train for the 2020 Olympics eventually. "When I'm feeling like I want to get back in the water, I will get back in the water," he revealed. "Right now, I just want to actually take a deep breath and enjoy life." (Eonline)

Why Amber Rose Thinks She Probably Shouldn't Have Done Dancing With the Stars. Amber Rose had a feeling. She said she knew Monday night would be her last at Dancing With the Stars. "Tonight I felt it," she told E! News. "Tonight I prepared myself, honestly, because if I didn't prepare myself I would've seriously been crying right now -- " "Bawling," Maksim Chmerkovskiy, her pro dance partner, added. "Bawling.

Over the five weeks the duo have been through a lot together. Maks told us if he had to reveal one thing nobody knows about Amber it's just how emotional she can get. "I'm not really good with a lot of attention. I probably shouldn't have done this show, but whatever," she confessed. "I'm just not good with a lot of eyes on me and a lot of 'Oh, you're doing great, everything's good... '" In fact, Maks said on their third day together, the second day dedicated to practicing the Foxtrot, Amber looked at him and said, "I don't know, Maks. I don't know man, this is just so hard. Tell me this is the hardest dance we'll ever have to do." "So I immediately just lost my mind and I just lost a couple years of my life... You know what, I didn't even answer," he laughed. Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Priyanka Chopra Apologizes for Wearing "Refugee" T-Shirt on Conde Nast Traveller India Cover. Priyanka Chopra has apologized for wearing a shirt that some people on Twitter perceived as being insensitive towards refugees. The Quantico actress is featured on the October/November cover of Conde Nast Traveller magazine; the Indian publication's sixth annual Indian edition was released Oct. 7. The cover shows the TV star modeling a white tank top, which has the words "refugee," "immigrant" and "outsider" crossed out, and the only remaining word is "traveller." When the cover was published online Oct. 10, its editors explained the meaning behind Chopra's top. "At Conde Nast Traveller, we believe that the opening up of borders and the breaking down of walls can help us discover the world, and open up our minds and hearts," the magazine said. "So, when we had actor Priyanka Chopra wear a T-shirt we created on the cover of the sixth anniversary issue, we had a point to make. It's about how our labeling of people as immigrants, refugees and outsiders is creating a culture of xenophobia." "We are allowing thousands of innocent people who are forced to cross borders due to unimaginable terror and atrocities to be treated without humanity and empathy," the magazine added. "It's about how we are allowing some powerful leaders to build barriers that make it more difficult for bright, motivated and hardworking people to see more of the world, learn from it and make it better for us all." Asking readers to "celebrate our commonalities," the magazine added Chopra "is the perfect ambassador. It's not about her being a refugee or immigrant or outsider; it's about her, like us, recognizing the power of travel, and joining us in asking everyone to do better for each other." But, over the next few days, the backlash only grew louder on social media. In an interview that aired Monday on Indian news network NDTV, Chopra apologized. "The magazine had a point of view," she said. "They were very clear what they were addressing, and they specifically got this made and implored me to wear it. They're addressing xenophobia, which is a big issue that is happening with labels." The actress added that the magazine wanted to "be ambiguous about people moving in and out, whether it's by choice or not by choice -- so, traveling. Their idea was that, and I bought into it, I guess. I'm really, really apologetic about the fact that so many sentiments were hurt. I mean, that was definitely not the reason. And me, of all people! I'm someone who always stands for no labels. I'm someone who always stands for people being able to do what they have to do when they have to do it without being put in a box. So, I was very affected. I felt really, really horrible. I think...that was never the intention." Pressed about the fashion statement, she said, "It was misconstrued. The point that the magazine wanted to make was actually something good, saying that people are moved out of their countries because they're thrown out of their homes, literally, and they're looked at -- whether it's Europe, whether it is America, anywhere in the world -- they're looked at very differently. It was not their choice to have moved out. Whether I come from another country and I'm in America, I'm an outsider, or an immigrant. But the boxes -- politically, these words have been used so much to berate people, to put them in a box, to profile them. And the magazine's idea was to break that, basically. That's what I went with. This was the magazine's idea." The interviewer said she couldn't help but think of 3-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, whom she called "that little baby who was washed ashore" in Turkey. Chopra knew what the journalist was getting at. "Of course! You're saying all of that, but that was never the intention. You think I'm not aware... ?" the Bollywood actress asked. "The idea was that those kids should have the ability to live their lives without a tag on them, without a label on them, because it does create xenophobia. That same child that you were talking about -- the child that was rescued and was alive -- they should be able to live a life without having that label. That's what the magazine wanted to do. But it got misconstrued, and I mean, I'm really sorry for it. I'm sorry it was on me, and people saw it like that. But I don't think it was their intention, and definitely not mine." (Kurdi, his brother and his mother died during a journey across the Mediterranean Sea in 2015.) Later on, in an official statement, Conde Nast Traveller said, "We believe that the opening up of borders and the breaking down of walls can help us discover the world, and open up our minds and hearts. So, when we had actress Priyanka Chopra wear a T-shirt we created on the cover of our sixth anniversary issue, we had a point to make. And it's not about privilege or fashion." (Eonline)

This week just gets worse for Zayn Malik. First, Little Mix performed their new single Shout Out To My Ex for the first time on the X Factor, sending the track to the number one spot on iTunes instantly, with people loving its subtle digs at Perrie Edwards' ex Zayn Malik (with lyrics like "Hope she ain't faking it like I did") who ceremoniously dumped the singer after four years last year. To add to that, just Monday an extract from Little Mix's forthcoming autobiography confirmed that Zayn DID dump Perrie by text. Eeek. And now, the Little Mix girls have thrown some more shade at the solo artist (who is now dating supermodel Gigi Hadid) by taking the mick out of his dancing. Posted to Little Mix's Snapchat, the girls can be heard asking band jokester Jade Thirwall to "audition", before Jade begins pulling some hilarious dance moves. See it here...It's widely believed that the girls were mocking Zayn Malik's X Factor bootcamp moment from 2012, in which Zayn initially refused to dance in the boys' group dancing phase, as he didn't feel confident.

Jason Hoppy hasn't said a public word in the nearly four years he's been separated from Bethenny Frankel. His high-powered lawyer Bernard Clair says it's been really difficult for Jason to watch Bethenny mock their marriage and capitalize on their unfortunate divorce in her questionable efforts to stay relevant. "Jason has asked her numerous times to stop talking about him, their daughter, and their divorce publicly," Clair told me. Hoppy is also upset that someone created a parody Twitter account in his name, which fooled lots of folks -- including this columnist, who quoted the impostor in my Oct. 9 story about Frankel's sex scene in a low-budget movie. I should have known better. Clair reports Jason has never given an interview, let alone been quoted directly, and he confirms that his client has no aspirations to be on TV again. "All Jason wants is that his ex-wife honor both parties' commitment to protect their daughter," Clair said. (Page Six)

Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks' model feud is no new news. The pair's highly publicized war went on through the 90s, and it seems that even today Tyra Banks is still feeling the reverberations of it. Speaking on Norwegian-Swedish show Skavlan, Naomi spoke about her rise to fame and went into detail about her fued with Naomi, say to this day she's still "scared of her." "The industry was saying, 'Look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell sit your butt down, this younger one is coming to take your place.' "It was really unfair to her because the other models that weren't black, like Kate Moss came up, we were the same generation, they weren't saying, 'Look out Christy Turlington, this cheek bone girl has cheekbones higher than yours! Get back!' You know, so they weren't saying that. "So, you know, it wasn't fair to Naomi, but her response to this day was... I'm very scared of her." The dramas Tyra recalls include a shoot in Anguilla in which Tyra ended up being sent home after Naomi made working unmanageable. Tyra also once recalled a moment at a European fashion show when Naomi apparently said "You'll never be me, don't ever think that you'll be me," to her rival model. Naomi hasn't ever confirmed either story. Despite the feud, Tyra pointed out that Naomi eventually apologized to her, causing her to "cry like a baby." (British Glamour)

An anonymous tipster called LAPD claiming Adam Levine was abusing his infant daughter and wife ... but cops investigated and found the allegations totally bogus. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD's Juvenile Division got the tip last Wednesday, alleging Adam hit his one-month-old baby girl in the face. The tipster also alluded to allegations of domestic violence ... claiming Adam struck his wife so hard it knocked her to the ground. We're told cops paid the Levine family a visit, spoke to Adam's wife, Behati Prinsloo, and found no visible injuries to her or the infant. After meeting with the family, investigators determined the claims were unfounded. Sources close to Adam tell us it's unfair that being in the public eye means you sometimes fall victim to false, atrocious allegations. Adam, though, appreciates and respects the LAPD and is glad they promptly concluded the claims were untrue. Our sources say there will be no further investigation and consider the case closed. (TMZ)

Azealia Banks Files Police Report Against Russell Crowe After Hotel Fight. Azealia Banks and Russell Crowe's feud won't be settled over social media -- the real authorities are involved now. The 25-year-old rapper has filed a police report against the Oscar-winning actor following what allegedly transpired at a Beverly Hills hotel Sunday evening, Banks' rep confirmed to E! News. Per TMZ, who was first with this news, Banks went to the Beverly Hills Police Department after demanding an apology from Crowe which she did not receive. In a since deleted Facebook post, Banks claimed Crowe "called me a n----r, choked me, threw me out and spat at me" during a party in the actor's suite. However, as TMZ first reported, multiple eyewitness accounts state that Banks laughed at Crowe's music and called him and another attendee "boring, white men." After another woman defended Crowe, Banks allegedly replied with, "You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s--t" and allegedly added a few racial slurs. After reportedly taking her glass and cocking it back, as TMZ described, Crowe allegedly grabbed Banks in a "bear hug" and carried her out before calling security guards to remove her from the property. (Banks was reportedly a guest of RZA, who cast Crowe in a film he wrote and directed called The Man With the Iron Fists.) Raymani, who represents Banks, told E! News that Monday that she is still shaken and not yet ready to speak out, she will give her account of what happened and tell her plans to move forward in the next day or two. Raymani added that Banks is disgusted by fictitious reports that have surfaced and said she remains disappointed by the misconduct of individuals who she once admired. (Eonline)

Jim Carrey's late girlfriend wrote multiple suicide notes during their relationship years before she actually killed herself. Sources tell us investigators uncovered several notes after Cathriona White's death in which she suggested she was going to commit suicide, but didn't. The first was in October 2012 -- a month after her father died and 2 months into dating Jim. She wrote about not fitting in this world and being "too messed up for anyone to really love." She also said she loved Carrey and apologized to him. The second one -- written right after their May 2013 breakup -- accuses Carrey of giving and blames him for her suicidal thoughts. She wrote "my blood is on your hands" and "you pulled the trigger on me." Again, she did not kill herself. Cathriona and Jim got back together as a couple 18 months later. They had a romantic date in Malibu, just 9 days before her fatal OD in Sept 2015. The notes could be crucial in the wrongful death suits filed against Carrey by Cat's estranged husband and mother. On one hand ... it's clear she was upset about STDs in 2013. On the other hand, she got back together with Jim in 2014. It also seems she was troubled and distraught about several things besides Jim ... including the 3rd anniversary of her father's death. The final suicide notes, found near Cat's body, mention heartbreak ... but not STDs. She said in one of the notes to Jim "You are my family" and left him in charge of her burial and estate. She did not in either note mention her estranged husband or mother. (TMZ)

2016 has already been an amazing year for Ciara, who got engaged, married and landed a modeling contract with IMG. And now the singer has another big gig: spokeswoman for Revlon. The role has been a lifelong dream for Ciara, who reveals she's had a connection to the brand since before her birth. "My mom was trying to figure out my name when my dad bought her a fragrance called Ciara by Revlon. That's where my name came from! Ever since I understood that, my mind has been on it," she tells People. The singer is also used Revlon products for as long as she can remember. Her No. 1 must-have? The brand's brow pencils. "Having the right brow shape -- and having your brows stay in place throughout the day -- is crucial. I discovered Revlon's brow pencils years ago, and that's the one thing I live by. They're a game-changer." Another of her must-haves: the Revlon's Crème Eye Shadow. "You can create a nice, easy look for daytime but at night, you can make it spicier if you're feeling it." And while Ciara's already stoked about stocking up on her faves, the partnership is about much more to her than lip balm and mascara. As Global Brand Ambassador, she will not only appear in color cosmetics ads, but will also be the face of the "Choose Love" campaign, part of the brand's larger Love Is On platform, which launched in 2014 and focuses on celebrating love and all of its positive aspects and possibilities. "It's so exciting to be a part of the 'Choose Love' campaign because the messaging is parallel with what was and is happening in my life," says the newlywed, who married Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in July. "Having my own personal journey that I've had through my life, I've just really been about female empowerment and that's really, that's really important to Revlon, too," Ciara says. "It's an exciting thing because, you know, it's bigger than the makeup. They take it a step further by using the platform to help make a difference." (People)

Khloe Kardashian Opens Up About Designing Denim for "Real Women" Who Want to Show Off Their Curves. Khloe Kardashian is determined to make all women look and feel great in denim. Before celebrating the launch of her denim line Good American, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was able to chat with E! News about her fashionable collection. After spending a few years never wearing denim, the businesswoman believes she has helped create a brand that is ideal for any lady of any size. "I think the selling point for me was having a really wide range of sizes and not trying to segregate people into shopping the plus-size. I really want to break down those barriers and have a denim line for real woman," she explained to E! News' Zanna Roberts Rassi. "When I used to shop for premium denim at high-end boutiques, they would go up to a size eight or ten. I was I'd say a size 12 at the time and I would get so embarrassed going with my sisters." She added, "I want to be able to have denim because even if you're a little bigger, you still want to be trendy and cute and show off your curves." As Khloe continues working out on a regular basis, the E! star joked that she's started to "live in denim" and make up on lost years. And while she has a full plate each and every day, Khloe has the perfect 30-minute workout for a girl on the go. "Because you can travel with a jump rope, jump roping," Khloe revealed. "You think it sounds easy but my trainer told me try to do 800 jumps in like 5 minutes and I had to work my way up there." She continued, "You think it's so easy but it's f--king hard. It's ridiculous, but it's the best workout and probably the shortest workout you can do and it's full body. It's everything, but it's exhausting." In the middle of celebrating the launch of her new collection available online and at Nordstrom stores beginning this Tuesday, the E! reality star is also having some fun with Tristan Thompson. When asked about her recent trips to Ohio to support the NBA player, Khloe couldn't help but show her happiness. "I'm having a great time in Ohio. I really like it. It's mellow and nice," she shared. "We should do an appearance at a Nordstrom out there." (Eonline)

Hilary Duff as Wendy From Casper Meets Wendy, 18 Years Later: ''The Good Little Witch'' Is All Grown Up! Cue the '90s nostalgia. Hilary Duff threw it back big time on Instagram, thanks to Snapchat (cue the 21st century technology). Almost two decades after making her credited debut as Wendy "The Good Little Witch" in the iconic 1998 Halloween straight-to-video movie Casper Meets Wendy, the actress gave us a peek at exactly what Wendy would look like as a grown woman. "Well just in time for Halloween @snapchat gave me this little treat of a filter #caspermeetswendy #wendythegoodwitch #20yearsago?! #ahhhhhhh" the Younger star captioned her photo, which showed her wearing a red cloak and makeup courtesy of a daily Snapchat filter, juxtaposed with a shot of her 11-year-old self from the movie. While Hilary's role as the title character on Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire is the one that has really stuck with her through the years, Casper Meets Wendy was her first major feature role. In the Halloween classic, Hilary teams up with Casper the Friendly Ghost to help stop a wicked warlock from terrorizing her family. In the end, the duo are able to not only save their families and the neighborhood, but they also form an undying, though unlikely, friendship. And even though its been 18 years, and she's probably engaged in tons of magical mayhem since, it seems that Wendy grew up to be just fine. As for Wendy's co-star, there's no immediate word on Casper's whereabouts, but we're guessing he hasn't changed a bit. (Eonline)

This honeymoon is one for the books! Survivor: Africa winner Ethan Zohn and his new wife Lisa Heywood Zohn ditched the traditional honeymoon and instead chose to join forces with charitable crowdfunding platform CrowdRise to travel to Greece to bring attention to the refugee crisis, PEOPLE exclusively reports. In partnership with CrowdRise's 24-Hour Impact Project, the two-time cancer survivor and his bride are helping improve the lives of 1,200 displaced refugees, 600 of which are children, who were moved between refugee camps to Vasilika Refugee Camp -- an old, abandoned warehouse converted into barracks with tents -- in June. "We're here at the Vasilika Refugee Camp in Greece and just beyond this fence in an abandoned warehouse, there are 1,200 Syrian refugees," Ethan, who wed Lisa in July, explains in the CrowdRise video. "Many of those refugees are kids and instead of a traditional honeymoon, we came here to see if we could help," Lisa states of the children, who have been out of school for an extended amount of time. The New York City interior designer tearfully adds, "As a woman, I want them to be warm, have food to eat and to be reunited with their whole family." Next to the refugee camp, a group of European volunteers created a safe haven called EKO Project which provides a school, communal kitchen and welcoming place for children to play. On Tuesday, Ethan and Lisa -- in partnership with CrowdRise -- launched a 24-hour flash fundraiser to help bring awareness to the refugee crisis with the goal of raising $20,000. "We have 24 hours to raise all the money we can to help those living right here at Vasilika. Donate," Ethan encourages. (People)

Dancing the family foxtrot! Amber Rose won't be walking away with the Dancing With the Stars Mirror Ball trophy, but she has found a "brother for life" in her dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. After being eliminated from the show on Monday, October 17, she took to Instagram to post a heartfelt message to the pro, thanking him for everything he had done for her. "Although our time was cut short@maksimc I'm so happy I had the chance to experience this with you!" the 32-year-old model wrote alongside a photo of them striking a silly pose together. "You truly are my brother for life! Who knew we would become so close in such a short amount of time? ?? Thank you for not giving up on me and getting to know the real me with no judgment I'll love you forever for that reason and I'll always have ur back through whatever. I'll miss our stressed out rehearsals more than anything tho ?? Love Amberony." Chmerkovskiy, 36, responded with an equally sweet social media post. "My dearest Amberony!" he wrote. "Thank you for some of the best weeks of my @dancingabc career! You've not let me down and only made me more and more proud each week. You've become a friend and an older sister (although you're younger....you know what I mean :)), and this is definitely just the beginning of 'Amber and Maks'." He continued: "This experience got cut short and I wish we would have just a few more weeks, but it happened exactly as it were meant to and I have absolutely no regrets."?"The world has yet to see what you can really do and I can't wait to be in your corner when it does.... Love, Me." Chmerkosvskiy is expecting a baby with his fiancee Peta Murgatroyd, 30, and when the elimination news was announced on the show, he declared: "I'm ready for diaper duty." Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. (US Weekly)

Turns out Justin Bieber wasn't lying when he said he loved the UK at his O2 show last week as the 22-year-old is reported renting a 15-bedroom mansion in North London. The pop-star apparently plans to divide his time between his home in Los Angeles and his new North London property, which he is renting for £108,333. As expected, Bieber's new home away from home is not your average North London pad. Instead, the property includes a huge indoor swimming pool, a wine cellar and a cinema. Speaking about the property, the partner at residential consultancy Knight Frank, said: "This is one of the capital's most luxurious homes and offers state-of-the-art facilities including an indoor and outdoor pool, a spa, tennis court, home cinema and wine cellar." "The house also offers complete privacy, something essential for someone of Justin's pop star standing," he added. Justin spent all of last week in London as he brought his Purpose Tour to the O2 arena. And looks like UK beliebers are in for a treat as he'll be spending a lot more time here, so if you live in North London, watch out. Biebs might just be around the corner... (British Glamour)

RHOC's Vicki Gunvalson Bails On Kill All Cancer Charity Over All Of The 'Naysayers Out There'! Awkward. Only three weeks after Vicki Gunvalson announced on her Bravo show that she was partnering with a longtime friend to start the Kill All Cancer charity, the Real Housewives of Orange County vet revealed she's walking away from the collaboration. But, why?? Well it seems Miz Gunvalson got far too much negative feedback to move forward with the project. The 54-year-old told Entertainment Tonight: "I just shut it down because there was a lot of naysayers out there. I'm not going to do something that's going to be criticized when I did it from a good place. And it wasn't my charity. I was just a spokesperson for it. So it wasn't mine." We doubt many people were rushing to get involved with the charity as Vicki has been linked to ex Brooks Ayers' maybe-fake cancer drama. As you surely know, back in November, Mr. Ayers admitted to faking medical documents in order to prove his diagnosis but maintains that he is indeed sick. Oh, okay. Not to mention, the website linked to the organization sparked rumors that the charity was simply a scam. Huh. Which explains why Gunvalson is now down playing her role in the non-profit, as she previously told the celebrity news outlet: "Just to clear the air, I was never in on a scam. I have people and relatives that have died of cancer, and it's way too serious for me. I've actually started a charity called Kill All Cancer ... I'm giving back to research and to people that are suffering with cancer or suffer with cancer. We have wristbands, and it's a transparent charity, and I'm gonna turn this all around and make good for it. Fifty percent of us are gonna be diagnosed with cancer. It's not funny." Hmm, very interesting. In fact, there was an entire insurance component which was supposed to be created for the Bravolebrity to oversee as she has a successful history in insurance sales. So sure, you were just a "spokesperson" Vicki! Also, we doubt bailing on a charity will help distance Vicki from Brooks' scandal. But hey, Gunvalson wouldn't be a Real Housewife if she wasn't causing some kind of drama. (Perez Hilton)

Kim Kardashian's Assistant Speaks Out, Says "Keeks" Is Taking "Much Needed Time Off" Following Paris Robbery. Kim Kardashian's assistant is speaking out more than two weeks after her close friend was held at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room. In a note posted on the reality star's app Monday afternoon, Steph Shep updated fans on one of Kim's biggest projects. "Hey guys, so you may have noticed we haven't updated the app in a couple of weeks," she wrote. "Keeks is taking some much needed time off." She continued, "But not to worry. We've called upon Kim's closest friends, fam and yours truly to serve up some exclusives. Stay tuned for new posts and app takeovers!!" The news comes just a couple of days after Kim was spotted for the first time in Los Angeles following her terrifying robbery. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star made a brief, 30-minute trip to a restaurant in Beverly Hills where she As the businesswoman continues to keep a low-profile following her scary night in Paris, E! News has learned that Kim is receiving some professional counseling. "Kim is doing better but she still has a long way to recover from the robbery," an insider shared with E! News. "Her friends and family have been really supportive. Her sisters and mom have been checking on her every day." And while Kanye West has had a few performances as part of his Saint Pablo world tour, he has continued to check in on his wife when he's not nearby. "Kanye has been by her side when he isn't working and calling her nonstop to check in on her," our source added. In true Kardashian fashion, the family is also putting on a united front as they lean on each other during the difficult time. "Well, I think it's just a wake-up call to make a lot of life adjustments. This is a really serious matter for Kim. I think that's really personal as to when that emotional terror you could move on from that," Khloe Kardashian explained last week on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I think for us it's all a wake-up call for all of us, but definitely just to make sure our sister's OK." She added, "Like I said, we're a family. We'll do this together. I think it's important to make those adjustments and to pull back a little bit, I think is always smart." (Eonline)

Kim Kardashian's Concierge Breaks His Silence On The Armed Robbery & Shocking Lack Of 'Proper Security' At The Hotel! New details are emerging in the wake of Kim Kardashian West's Paris robbery. The reality TV starlet herself has yet to break her silence herself, but the concierge, who actually claims to have been the security guard working at the hotel during the infamous heist, has more than a few things to say about the scandal! ICYMI: he reportedly penned an open letter to the celeb about his "calm" demeanor last week. Now speaking to Dailymail.com, Abdulrahman revealed just how poor the security was... and still is! He spilled: "There was no real security at all. It's a choice. The hotel doesn't mind about security. We told them years and years before, you have to make a camera, you have to put [in place] a security process, about keys. Nothing was locked, there was no proper security there." On top of that, the security codes to enter the building haven't been changed in at least six years, and according to DailyMail.com, they still haven't. Following such a huge heist, it's shocking the hotel wouldn't amp up security measures! Abdulrahman, who is looking to take legal action against the hotel, added there was also usually only one security guard on duty, and even warned his employers in a 2010 email about the lax security measures: "I told the hotel years ago, you need better security and they didn't mind. If you look at that big door, it wasn't locked, it was open. We talked about it and nobody cared. The code of the door was never changed and everybody knew it. There is a camera in the main wall of the hotel, behind the big red [front] doors, but it didn't work for years." Yikes! Even with such high-profile guests staying at the residences, he explained: "It was No Address, no security. Nothing was locked, there was no proper security there." The 39-year-old Algerian-native believes the No Address Hotel is to blame for not taking proper measures to "prevent" the heist, saying: "Immediately afterwards, I was very angry, and the first one I blamed was the hotel. They are responsible, I think. And I still blame them now. I told them, look what you did! What I told you for six years? Security cameras and other things are meant for days like today, to prevent these things from happening. If you have good guards, electronic systems to lock the doors, it can be possible to secure the hotel. One day, someone might be killed. That is more important than a robbery of rocks and metal." Cameras probably would have been a good place to start, but as Abdulrahman described how the gang of thieves gained access to the hotel, it doesn't sound like new security codes would have helped: "I was behind the desk. The door was closed, but it is glass and they told me to open the door, making a motion behind the door. I saw police [uniforms], the hats, also the police jackets, with reflective badges, like the police have. I told them to open it because it was open, and he asked with gestures, he made me come to open the door. So I came to open it and just when I opened it, he grabbed me and handcuffed me." The key witness in the case also went on to divulge how he even had to help the robbers as an interpreter: "In the first seconds, I thought they were policemen making an intervention. I told them, I'm working here, what is wrong? After that he questioned me, where is the security video? At that time, I said sh*t, it's a robbery. At first I looked at them and one got very angry. He asked me to put my head down and never look at him again. He repeated, never, never look at me, or I will kill you. I saw that two of them had guns, then I just looked down." It's interesting he would be able to speak about these details amid this ongoing investigation, especially considering the masked men are still on the loose. Speaking more about the wake of the armed heist, he shared how he felt police didn't handle the situation properly: "It made me upset. The police were not very professional. They did not look after me afterwards, they didn't offer me any counselling or anything. Psychologically, I have to repair myself. They told the press that I said [certain details] about the robbers' identities,' he said. 'That was very dangerous for me, as it shows I gave evidence to the police." Well, we hope Abdulrahman remains safe and hopefully his information can help investigators track the suspects down. (Perez Hilton)

The old Death Row Records gym equipment Tupac once used is up for grabs, and the seller wants a king's ransom for it. A little backstory ... when Death Row went bankrupt everything in the office was sold -- from Suge Knight's engraved cigar cases to the famous electric chair ... it all went to the highest bidders. The gym set -- which Tupac used for his 1995 post-prison interview on MTV -- went for $1,166. We're told the buyer actually pumped iron with gear ... but is now hoping it can score him a heavy sack of cash on eBay. The starting bid is $100k. Check out the pics ... it's hardly Gold's Gym quality equipment, but Gold's probably doesn't have a bench where Tupac planted his ass. (TMZ)

2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Nominations Announced: Janet Jackson, Tupac and Pearl Jam Among Contenders. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has released its list of nominees for induction in 2017 -- meaning it's time once again for rejoicing that some of the world's most meaningful artists are finally (or once again) getting their chance to be honored, while also lamenting that others continue to be overlooked. In their first year of eligibility, Pearl Jam and the late Tupac Shakur have been nominated, along with Janet Jackson, Joan Baez, Depeche Mode, Chaka Khan, Electric Light Orchestra, Jane's Addiction, J. Geils Band, Journey, The Cars, Yes, The Zombies, The Bad Brains, Steppenwolf, MC5, Kraftwerk, Joe Tex and Chic. Not a bad bunch. According to the official Hall of Fame rules, an artist must have released their first single at least 25 years prior to being nominated -- meaning that this year's nominees released their first singles no later than 1991. That's right, Eddie Vedder declared he was still "Alive" 25 years ago. While history dictates that the decision of who makes it into the Hall is made by 800 various music professionals who vote on an artist's longevity, influence and talent, this year fans can once again join in on the fun and vote for their favorite artists. Now through Dec. 5, fans can log on to the Hall's website and cast their vote once per day to help their favorite win. The inductees will be announced in late December, with an induction ceremony to follow in April 2017 at the Barclay's Center in New York. (Eonline)

Adele's Partner Simon Konecki Showers Her With Love Notes in Concert. We've finally found the definition of #RelationshipGoals and it's Adele and Simon Konecki. The couple, who have been together for five years and share son Angelo James, have remained fairly out of the limelight since the British songstress took the world by storm with her tear-inducing ballads. As the two often opt for low-key date nights rather than glossy red carpet appearances together, the fans rarely get a close look at their romance -- that was, until Sunday night during the Grammy winner's concert in Nashville. As fans have documented on social media, concert attendees are typically showered with white confetti toward the end of the show. The strips are notably decorated with handwritten lyrics to Adele's signature songs, like "Rolling in the Deep" and "When We Were Young." However, in a romantic twist, concert attendees noticed there were pink strips falling from the sky on Sunday, marking a curious change. The colorful notes featured handwritten messages like "I love you," "Love you long time" and "You are an angel" in different handwriting from the originals. Guests immediately started theorizing that the notes had been crafted by Konecki. After all, they were celebrating their fifth anniversary as a couple. If you're not already gushing over the romantic move, prepare for this teaser -- the singer also reportedly told her crowd the night before that she was feeling the baby itch again. "My womb is starting to ache a little bit. It's like, 'Baby, baby, baby. Need a baby, need a baby,'" she joked. "I'm not pregnant. I won't get pregnant until the end of the tour." So, will little Angelo, who is nearing his fourth birthday, become a big brother soon? We'll just have to wait for Adele to put down the mic. (Eonline)

Pronoun Makes Indie Debut With New EP, Featuring 'just cuz you can't': Exclusive Premiere. Alyssa Vellturo, also known as Pronoun, is a one-woman band breaking through to the other side of music with her debut EP There's no one new around you, out on Nov. 18, which is available for pre-order here. The lead single from her EP, "just cuz you can't," is an emotionally captivating track that channels the evolving timeline of a relationship -- and it's premiering exclusively on Billboard. "'just cuz you can't' specifically walks through the many trains of thought I had when a relationship I thought would never end, over the course of a weekend, did," Pronoun tells Billboard. "The song starts with longing to help that person, and evolves into the anger and frustration I felt when I realized that person may not want it." The Boston native and self-confessed emo kid further explains how this one-person band is something that she'd like to keep exploring for a while. "This music is so personal to me, and it's kind of hard to do that with other people." With very personal songwriting and personal production within the comfort of her apartment, Pronoun is ruling out the use of a band one lyric at a time. With "just cuz you can't" focusing on one time frame of a personal relationship, the rest of the EP opens up an entire window of emotional stages that people can go through in an relationship. "The EP outlines the abrupt crumbling of a relationship and the different stages/emotions I went through while it was happening." Even though "just cuz you can't" seems like it could be a slower song, the track is more upbeat than originally anticipated. (Billboard)

Prepare to cringe... Monday, Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock stormed out of an interview with Capital FM after being quizzed about ex-boyfriends. The question, asked by host Roman Kemp, came after the band debuted their new single, Shout Out To My Ex, on the Sunday night X Factor show. "If you write a song like this do you have to speak to all exes? Clear that song with them?" asks Kemp. Met with awkward silence, none of the girls respond but Leigh-Anne then leans over to whisper something in Perrie's ear. She then turns around and tells Kemp the question was "inappropriate". "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that," he replies. "It just gets on my nerves when people ask things like that. We're not here to talk about exes," she responds. "I know the song is called that, but talk about how it's a positive thing. Do you know what I mean?" A few seconds later, Leigh-Anne tells the girls to carry on the interview without her as she storms out of the room. "I think she's having a bad day," comments Perrie as Kemp asks whether he should apologize. THEN, in a turn of events, a choir enters the room, circles Kemp and it becomes apparent the girls were just playing a prank - with a little help from fellow Capital FM DJ Marvin Hume. Thank God for that. (British Glamour)

The Making of Finding Dory: Why It Took 13 Years to Make the Finding Nemo Sequel. On paper, Finding Dory seems like a no brainer. Finding Nemo, its predecessor, was the second highest grossing film of 2003, grossing $867 million worldwide. And Ellen DeGeneres -- who voiced Dory, a forgetful but lovable blue tang -- shamelessly and enthusiastically campaigned for a follow-up film, using her daytime talk show to rally support. The brain trust at Pixar was listening, but there was just one problem: Due to Dory's absentmindedness, making her the lead character would be risky. Thankfully, Andrew Stanton has never been one to back down from a challenge. "The truth is yes, all that nervousness was there, but I knew it was going to be there, because that's what it felt like on Toy Story 2. And we've made several sequels in between then," the director says, "so we're very aware of what we're up against when we venture out on a sequel." So the director and his team did what Dory would do: They blindly and optimistically faced their fears. "In order to have fighting chance to make a decent sequel, you have to forget it's a sequel and try to make it the most self-standing film, as if there was never a film before it," Stanton, who also voices Crush the sea turtle, tells E! News exclusively. "It takes anywhere from three to six months when you're working on those projects to get to that place, and then once you do -- you usually have about three more years left -- it's an original picture to you and everybody else, and it's just as hard. Sometimes it's even harder simply because the characters are already figured out -- at least half your cast is. And so you have parameters you have to stick to. You can't suddenly just decide to change something about them to make it work for your story." Unlike the characters in Toy Story or Cars, Dory presented a unique challenge. "She was built to be a side character. She was built to be the best sidekick and the comedic foil for a whole movie," the filmmaker explains. "When you're the main character of a picture, it means you have to be the character with the big problem that everybody has to be emotionally invested in and has to have things at stake, and so they just invariably end up having to be a little bit more serious. So, the tough part was, 'How do we make Dory even remember that she has issues and that she's changing?' Because the only way you can express that, usually, is that you have the ability to self-reflect. You have the ability to tell somebody, 'Yesterday I was depressed when I had breakfast, but now that I've talked to some friends, this morning I feel better.' But that requires you to remember!" "That was our hardest problem, that took my writer, my co-director, my editor, my producer, my head of story -- it was the smartest team I've ever worked with story-wise -- and it brought us to our knees," he says. "It just took a long time for us to find this sort of grocery list of solutions of how to make her stay on track with her emotional issues." To fix the problem, Dory was tweaked a little bit. "She's like a car that was rebuilt on the inside to work a little differently so that she could play the role of a main character," Stanton explains. DeGeneres was on board immediately, and it soon became clear that Dory's story was the right one to tell. "The truth is, she doesn't ad-lib much -- or at least not in the way that you would expect. She doesn't come up with new lines all the time," Stanton says. "She's pretty respectful, because she ran a sitcom herself before she was on a talk show. She's very respectful of the written word and how much we are already beating ourselves up." "Ellen's style is sort of respect the written word, but what she does is she plays with how it's said," he adds. "So all these little invisible things that maybe aren't even valued when you're watching the film are hers: the hesitancies, the pauses, the interruptings of herself, the little fluctuations. That's something that you find out she gives that make it specifically Ellen." The comedienne wasn't afraid to experiment, either. "The thing that would always surprise us is that she would make lines that are not even meant to be funny, funny," he says. "They'd be like, 'Hi. How's it going?' And she would just give it this hesitant Dory kind of off-kilter perkiness to 'Hi. How's it going?' It just charmed me to death. That's the X factor she brings to the table." Albert Brooks also returned as Marlin, an overprotective clownfish, while the role of Nemo was recast. Hayden Rolence took over for Alexander Gould, whose voice had matured in the last 13 years. Gould returned for Finding Dory, however, voicing delivery truck drivers Carl and Tommy. In a quest to find her parents at the Marine Life Institute in Morro Bay, Calif., Dory becomes reacquainted with an old friend: Destiny, a near-sighted whale shark (Kaitlin Olson). She also befriends Bailey (Ty Burrell), a beluga whale who temporarily lost his echolocation abilities. And then there's Hank (Ed O'Neill), a cantankerous octopus who lost one of his tentacles. He wants to be transferred to an aquarium in Ohio rather than be rehabilitated and return to the ocean. Animating Hank proved to be an even bigger challenge than coming up with a story. An engineer worked on the character for about six months to create a new type of curve. Because Hank is squishy and flexible, he doesn't move the way other animals or people in the movie do. During the development process, one scene took nearly two years to animate. "As a matter of fact," Stanton says, "maybe even a couple years before we started Dory could we have done it." But achieving the impossible is what Pixar does best. "The idea of doing an octopus was exciting for everybody and such a juicy challenge. It made people want to conquer the problem. Usually you work without a net," he reveals, "because if you don't have a net, people really bust it out." "It's dangerous," Stanton adds, "but it's fun!" Finding Dory was released on June 17. Critics praised the family-friendly movie, and it's since earned over $1 billion at the box office. Stanton knew audiences had been clamoring for a sequel, and the desire to please its fans was strong. But he also knew that in order for the movie to succeed, he couldn't let that pressure influence how his team approached the project. "We've worked very hard to make an environment at Pixar where we think we are truly making the movie just for ourselves and will never be showing it to the outside world," Stanton says. "I think there's an honesty as an artist when you really feel like you're alone in your studio, your writer's cabin or amongst your friends in your backyard. There's an innocence and a truth that has a chance of making it to the finished product." "I really take that seriously -- almost like a philosophical level when I work. I really want to hypnotize and convince myself, 'Nobody's going to see this.' That will allow me to be stupid, in the worst-case scenario," he tells E! News. "And in the best-case scenario, it'll make me very brave and put something up on the screen that really is effective, really works." "Whenever something sticks like that," he says, "I translate that as, 'Wow, we managed to get a truth on the screen without it getting contaminated.'" (Eonline)

New Orleans has suddenly become a hotbed for Hollywood premieres. After Mark Wahlberg debuted his "Deepwater Horizon" there in September, Tom Cruise hit the town Sunday night to screen his latest, "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back." Cruise, who also produced the film, arrived with a police escort to the AMC Elmwood Palace outside town and spent three hours on the red carpet signing autographs for fans, including a pregnant woman's T-shirt asking Cruise to "sign my baby bump."

'Trolls' Lands China Release Date Ahead of North America. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake lend their voices to the animated musical comedy. DreamWorks Animation's upcoming Trolls has scored an official release date in China -- Oct. 28 -- one week before it opens in North American on Nov. 4. Directed by Mike Mitchell and co-directed by Walt Dohrn, the film will be distributed in China by the studio's Shanghai-based local joint venture Oriental DreamWorks. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake lend their voices to the animated musical comedy. Timberlake voices Branch, a dark-haired recluse who keeps his distance from Kendrick's pink-haired Poppy, the leader of the Trolls troupe. After a slew of their tribe is stolen away, the two pair up for an adventure that sees them butting heads and, yes, making a cloud rain. James Corden, Gwen Stefani, Russell Brand, Jeffrey Tambor and Christina Baranski are also featured in the star-studded voice cast. The movie is produced by Gina Shay. Oriental DreamWorks signed a Trolls merchandising deal for the China market with the state-backed film distributor China Film Co. in April. DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda 3 grossed $154.3 million of its $520 million worldwide total in China at the start of the year -- slightly more than the $143.5 million the movie made in North America. Other Hollywood titles coming to China soon include Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and Jason Statham's Mechanic Resurrection, both on Oct. 21. (Hollywood Reporter)

Hugh Grant Joins 'Paddington 2'. Brendan Gleeson has also boarded the sequel to StudioCanal's box-office smash. The sequel to the 2014's box-office smash Paddington is underway, with principal photography started and two major names joining the returning cast. Hugh Grant has joined Paddington 2, playing a vain, charming acting legend whose star has fallen somewhat in recent years. Brendon Gleeson has also boarded the film as a notorious safe-cracker and strongman who becomes Paddington's unexpected ally. The story will see the Peruvian bear-now a popular member of his local community at Windsor Gardens-embark on a series of odd jobs to buy a book for Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday. But when the book is stolen, it's up to Paddington and the Browns to unmask the thief. Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, Madeleine Harris and Samuel Joslin all return from the first CGI live-action outing, with Ben Whishaw again voicing the famous bear and Imelda Staunton voicing Aunt Lucy. David Heyman is again producing, with Paul King back in the director's chair. Paddington became an unexpected smash for StudioCanal when it hit theaters in the winter of 2014, going on an extended run that would see it amass more than $270 million internationally, making it the company's most successful film of all time, the biggest independent U.K. film of the year and the biggest non-studio family film ever. A franchise was born. "It has been a complete joy to return to the world of Paddington," said King. "It was such a delight to see his first big-screen adventure embraced by audiences around the world, and I couldn't be more excited about Hugh and Brendan joining the cast to bring his next outing to life. Together, I hope we can make a film worthy of this most exceptional of bears." Paddington 2 is due out in the U.K. on Nov 10, 2017. A U.S. date or distributor hasn't yet been announced.

Ryan Lochte Joining Sharon Stone's 'Birthday' Comedy. The U.S. Olympic swimmer-who left Rio 2016 in disgrace-is to make his feature film debut in 'A Little Something for your Birthday.' Ryan Lochte's year could yet end on a high. The U.S. swimmer may have seen his trip to Rio end in disgrace following the debacle over false claims he had been robbed at gunpoint, and his PR healing shimmy on ABC's Dancing with the Stars suffer a stage invasion by protestors on the first night, but the 12-time Olympic medalist is now lining up his Hollywood debut. In an announcement made Tuesday, the athlete is set to star in A Little Something for Your Birthday, joining Sharon Stone, Tony Goldwyn, Famke Janssen and Ellen Burstyn. Directed and written by Susan Walter, the film is now in production and sees Stone play an aspiring fashion designer struggling to escape the clutches of her overbearing, co-dependent mother, played by Burstyn. Meanwhile, Goldwyn's sexy, sophisticated attorney arrives on the scene to capture her heart. Rob Carliner, Eric Brenner, Gary Preisler and Matthew Brady will produce, with Cinetel Films repping worldwide rights. The film will be introduced to buyers at AFM in November. Lochte is represented by lawyer Jeff Ostrow of Kopelowitz, Ostrow, Ferguson, Weiselberg Gilbert and manager Shawn Zenga. (Hollywood Reporter)

Don't Worry, This Is Us Is Making Mandy Moore Spontaneously Bawl Too. Not merely content with breaking our hearts (in the best way possible) on a weekly basis, Mandy Moore is also going to inject a little bit of her music career into an upcoming storyline on This Is Us. When asked about what lies ahead for her character, harried new mother of triplets Rebecca, while chatting with E! News' Erin Lim at the 7th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, Moore revealed that episode five of the fall's breakout his drama is going to get musical. "The next episode is at a pool. Milo [Ventimiglia] and I got to shoot at a pool with our eight-year-old children. But the fifth episode, I get to sing in," Moore teased. "So I'm excited about that. And it sort of reveals that my backstory, I was in a bar band. So there will be the music connection moving forward." Of course, expect more than a few tears mixed in with Moore's musical moment. In fact, you may want to start stocking up on the tissues now. "I feel like the fifth episode is going to destroy people," Moore admitted. "Milo and I watched it the other day and I was -- I was beside myself. I got to my car 20 minutes later and just started bawling by myself after I had cried right after. It's a lot to take in." Before we can get to what promises to be a heart-wrenching hour, we've got the new episode to look forward to.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Blesses the Internet With 4 New Posters, One for Each Season. Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. All you have to do is... wait until Friday, Nov. 25 to experience all the seasons with Gilmore Girls. Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are back in Stars Hollow as Lorelai and Rory Gilmore for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and we've got a first look at the key art of the four-part Netflix event. Yes, each part is a season of the year and has its own poster. The sparklers, the leaves, the flowers and snow! Lorelai loves the first snow. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life picks up almost 10 years after viewers said goodbye to the Gilmores in 2007. Lorelai and Luke are together -- yay! -- Rory is having some career struggles -- boo! -- and Emily and the girls are dealing with the sudden loss of Richard -- sob! Scott Patterson is back as Luke, Kelly Bishop as Emily and Gilmore Girls favorites Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena, Yanic Truesdale, Sean Gunn, Liza Weil, Danny Strong, Matt Czuchry, Jared Padalecki and Milo Ventimiglia are also returning to the fold. There's a lot of hype surrounding Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and Graham is well aware that all eyes will be on the beloved show's revival. "I loved it," she told E! News about the revival at the premiere of her new movie Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life. "I'm afraid to be as kind of glowing about it as I feel, because I know that expectations are already high, but for me, personally, it was just an incredibly gratified experience. So, I hope people enjoy it." Oh yeah, she cautioned there will be tears. Patterson recently told E! News to expect some fireworks between Luke and Lorelai. "What I can tell you is that we are together and we are figuring out our next move. There are definitely some fireworks there. We did some really intense adult scenes. Since the movies are only an hour and a half long it has way more detail and the writing is deeper and seems longer so it sort of changed," Patterson said. "Fans are not expecting this, but it's more a film now than it is a TV show. Also, Ed Herrmann passed away so we deal with that and that affects the whole dynamic. It affects all of the relationships." Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life previously released new art to celebrate National Coffee Day, naturally. The four-part event drops on Netflix on Friday, Nov. 25. (Eonline)

Gwen Stefani Returning to The Voice for Season 12, Miley Cyrus Set for Season 13. Gwen Stefani is returning to The Voice. Stefani will sit alongside Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as coaches for season 12, which is set to begin in February 2017. But what about Miley? Don't worry about Miley. Miley Cyrus will return as a coach for season 13 in the fall of 2017. Carson Daly will return as host. The rest of the season 13 coaches will be revealed at a later date. "We can't wait to experience the unique chemistry and energy Gwen, Alicia, Blake and Adam will bring to season 12," Paul Telegdy, president of Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment, said in a statement. "With Miley returning for season 13, we're truly ecstatic about the unmatched musical know-how and talent coming together in our coming seasons." Cyrus and Keys made their coaching debuts with season 11 of the Emmy-winning reality competition series. Cyrus previously served as a key adviser in the spring of 2016.

The Vampire Diaries Season 8: A New Big Bad and a "S--t Ton of Mayhem." Damon is not in a very good place when we see him at the start of The Vampire Diaries season eight. (Okay, that might be a bit of an understatement.) As we saw in the season seven finale, "He's super possessed by an enemy that we essentially don't know what it is," Ian Somerhalder explains to E! News on a visit to the show's Atlanta set. "Damon's a bit of a loose cannon. His girl is in a box, he's been through hell and high water, and so him being susceptible to this sort of new energy just sort of feeds into the times." It sounds a lot like the Damon we used to know, which Somerhalder recognizes. "He does a lot of stuff that is very much in the vein of the old Damon, but instead of being based in what was love now it's just this sort of weird obsession that he is doing a lot of evil stuff and he's conflicted." Put simply, "it's very heavy and very dark." And that's not going away any time soon -- we'll see both Damon and Enzo (Michael Malarkey) struggle with the possession, and Stefan (Paul Wesley) might even come into the mix. "As we get deeper and deeper and deeper into the seasons Stefan comes into the fold in a big way, and you just have a s---ton of mayhem," Somerhalder says. Meanwhile, "Caroline, Stefan and Bonnie are trying to find Damon and Enzo," explains Candice King. "They know that [the boys are] causing mayhem wherever they go and they're trying to get to the bottom of why they've fallen into such a deep, dark, thoughtless spell." While we'll have to wait until the show premieres to learn more about what this evil might be, Matt Davis tells us that it might be a familiar story. "It's a pretty epic twist and take on an old mythology," he says. "We're updating that, and Alaric, being the head of the armory now, is employing his knowledge and his wisdom and the resources of the armory to help try to track down who the big bad guy is and how it specifically relates to him and his kids." The Vampire Diaries' eighth and final season premieres Friday at 8 p.m. on The CW. (Eonline)

Today's Matt Lauer, Kathie Lee Gifford, Tamron Hall and Hoda Kotb Say Goodbye to Billy Bush. It's a new day at Today. Matt Lauer had to inform viewers Tuesday that Billy Bush has indeed left the morning news program. "NBC announced last night that Billy Bush would be leaving the Today show, effective immediately, noting that he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family," he said. "A statement Billy released separately last night read in part, 'I look forward to what lies ahead.'" "Of course," Lauer added, "all of us here at Today wish Billy the very best." Tamron Hall, who co-hosted the show's third hour with Bush after he joined Today in August, was similarly straight-faced when she mentioned his exit. "As you may have heard, our former co-host Billy Bush is no longer with the Today show," Hall told viewers. "This comes after his involvement in an Access Hollywood taping with Donald Trump in 2005. As a longtime member of the NBC family, we wish Billy all the best as he moves forward." Bush's departure came in light of a controversial 2005 conversation with Donald Trump. NBC News suspended Bush on Oct. 9 "pending further review" of his role in the tape. Senior vice president Noah Oppenheim announced Bush's exit in an internal memo to staff Monday night. "I am deeply grateful for the conversations I've had with my daughters," Bush, 45, said in a statement released Monday, "and for all of the support from family, friends and colleagues." Access Hollywood's Natalie Morales -- with whom Bush swapped jobs -- appeared on Today Tuesday, as she maintains a contributor role. In a pre-taped segment, she interviewed Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso. Morales later joined her colleagues to discuss pop culture news. Like Lauer and Hall before them, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb also addressed Bush's absence during the show's fourth hour. "Before we begin, we do want to mention what a lot of you probably already know," Kotb said. "Our good friend Billy Bush is no longer here at Today." "He has been a joy for us," Gifford told viewers. "He was here about nine weeks. He was so much fun to be around. He was always up for anything -- a real team player. We are really, really going to miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go to him and his family." Kotb, who worked alongside Bush during the Rio Olympics, shared Gifford's sentiments. "I loved working with him when he filled in for Kath," she said. "We got a chance to see the Zac Brown Band and party it up and have some fun. And we just want Billy to know that we wish him nothing but the best." Gifford and Kotb toasted their former colleague the only way they knew how: by toasting him with wine, of course. "He would like if we did this!" Gifford said, clinking her glass with Kotb's. Bush has not announced what he plans to do next. (Eonline)

Jane the Virgin Reveals Michael's Fate: Did Jane's New Husband Live or Die? Can you breathe a sigh of relief now that the Jane the Virgin season three premiere has revealed the fate of Michael (Brett Dier), a.k.a. Jane's new husband who was shot on his wedding night? Depends. Have you watched the episode and do you want to discuss it? Have you not watched the episode yet but can't wait to find out? (This is your spoiler alert! Turn away if you don't want to know!) Okay, are we all on the same page? YES, you can totally exhale because Michael is OKAY. Jane (Gina Rodriguez) spent the season three premiere in the hospital agonizing over whether the gunshot wound was enough to fatally harm him. Thankfully, doctors managed to perform emergency surgery and save him. It's true: Michael was in danger -- but he's okay now. This is not an elaborate dream sequence set up to scare you. "The narrator does not lie," creator Jennie Snyder Urman dishes. "Michael does live." And it's the fate the writers have planned for months. "This was what was always going to happen," Urman says, adding, "Michael was never going to die in the [season two] finale." But they did want to keep you guessing. "I didn't want it to be resolved [immediately] like the baby kidnapping was. ... This event has bigger emotional stakes for everyone. You can see it right away." Just because Michael is alive doesn't mean there aren't more obstacles ahead. "Newlywed life is fraught," Urman teases. Plus, you might recall that the narrator has mentioned Michael loving Jane until his last breath, and that's a tidbit you should still worry about. While Urman wouldn't elaborate much about that story point, she had this vague, unsettling statement to offer: "It's a reliable narrator." Jane the Virgin airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on The CW. (Eonline)

'Pretty Little Liars': Torrey DeVitto to Return for Final Season. The 'Chicago Med' star will reprise her role as Melissa in the Freeform drama's final season. A family reunion is in the cards for Pretty Little Liars' final season -- but it may not be a happy one. Torrey DeVitto will reprise her role as Melissa Hastings in the Freeform drama's last batch of episodes, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Melissa was last seen in the second half of season six as a suspect in Charlotte's (Vanessa Ray) murder. Although her involvement wasn't confirmed, she fled Rosewood due to alleged threats from the latest Big Bad and has not been seen since. Melissa's former lover Wren Kingston (Julian Morris) will also return in what executive producer Charlie Craig told THR is "part of the ultimate final twist in the final episode." It was revealed in flashbacks that Wren and Melissa broke up because Charlotte told him about Melissa's shady past -- including when Melissa accidentally buried Bethany Young alive when she thought the body was that of Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse) -- and her sister, Spencer (Troian Bellisario), was also very suspicious of Melissa. DeVitto has recurred on Pretty Little Liars since the series' inception. The actress, who is repped by APA, Insight and Hansen Jacobson, currently stars on NBC's Chicago Med. Pretty Little Liars returns in April 2017 on Freeform. (Hollywood Reporter)

'Candy Crush' Live-Action Game Show a Go at CBS. Yep, you read that right: a reality show based on the mobile game. CBS is ready to crush the reality competition field. The network has handed out a straight-to-series order for a live-action game show based on popular mobile game Candy Crush, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The new format is created and executive produced by Matt Kunitz and has elements of his popular series Wipeout and Fear Factor. Here's how the TV series will work: Teams of two will have to use their wits and physical agility to compete on enormous interactive game boards, which CBS says will feature next-generation technology, as they conquer Candy Crush and are crowned champions. A host will be announced at a later date. The series will be produced by Lionsgate, where Kunitz is under an overall deal, and Candy Crush creator King. CBS Television Distribution will distribute the series domestically, while Lionsgate will handle international. Candy Crush will be produced by Pulse Creative, Lionsgate Television, King and CBS Television Studios. Kunitz, Lionsgate interactive ventures and games president Peter Levin, King licensing agent of Striker Entertainment Russell Binder, King vp brand Nicki Sheard and King chief creative officer/co-founder and Candy Crush Saga creator Sebastian Knutsson will executive produce. "The Candy Crush franchise is a world-renowned property, so when the head of our interactive and games division, Peter Levin, brought this IP to Lionsgate, we instantly knew it would make an incredibly visual, physical and fun TV program," Lionsgate TV Group chairman Kevin Beggs said. "CBS is a leader in unscripted television, which makes it the ideal home for Candy Crush, and we're very happy to have Matt shepherding the production as we partner with the team at King on this series with the tremendous second-screen potential." Launched in 2012, Candy Crush sees players matching colored candies in combinations of three or more to win points, with more than 2,000 levels. Candy Crush Saga and Candy Crush Soda Saga are two of the top 10 grossing mobile games in the U.S. An estimated 18 billion game rounds are played monthly around the world. "We are huge fans of Candy Crush and, like so many others, we know the 'rush' of advancing to the next level of the game," CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller said. "We're excited to work with Lionsgate and King to adapt one of the world's most popular and entertaining game franchises for television and make it available to its massive, passionate fan base who can watch and play along at home." A premiere date has yet to be determined; it's unclear if the series will air this season, the summer or next season. CBS' decision to pick up the series comes as Geller told THR he was interested in exploring more of the game show arena following ABC's summer success with retro game shows like Match Game and Celebrity Family Feud. "The Candy Crush franchise lends itself perfectly to the kind of larger-than-life, physical game shows that I love to produce and CBS is the perfect home for it," Kunitz said. "As a Candy Crush Saga player myself, I am excited to amp up the action and visuals in our huge Candy Crush Arena." Following the breakout success of Candy Crush, Activision Blizzard acquired King Digital for $6 billion. For Lionsgate, the series comes as the independent production company has been ramping up its unscripted side, signing a slew of producers to overall deals. Kunitz, meanwhile, most recently was behind Fox's short-lived game show Kicking and Screaming, which was also produced by Lionsgate. The Candy Crush series comes as fellow popular mobile game Fruit Ninja is being adapted for the big screen. That followed the Angry Birds movie, which was based on the mobile game of the same name.

Billy Bush Leaves the Today Show. Billy Bush and the Today show are parting ways. The host has left the hit morning show in the wake of a lewd 2005 conversation between him and Donald Trump leaked a few weeks ago. "Billy Bush will be leaving the Today show's 9 a.m. hour, effective today," Today show senior vice president Noah Oppenheim informed Today show staffers in a memo sent wide today and obtained by E! News. "While he was a new member of the broader Today team, he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family. We wish him success as he goes forward." Bush released the following statement in the wake of the news: "I am deeply grateful for the conversations I've had with my daughters, and for all of the support from family, friends and colleagues. I look forward to what lies ahead." The announcement comes on the heels of Bush's suspension in the wake of the lewd tape's release. "I know we've been deeply troubled by the revelations of the past 48 hours," an internal correspondence explained. "Let me be clear -- there is simply no excuse for Billy's language and behavior on that tape. NBC has decided to suspend Billy, pending further review of this matter." Shortly after the leaked tapes began circulating, the father of three released the following statement to E! News apologizing for his actions. "Obviously I'm embarrassed and ashamed. It's not excuse, but this happened 11 years ago -- I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry." Meanwhile, the Republican presidential candidate released both a statement and a video in the aftermath of the offensive tape's release. "This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course -- not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended," the Republican presidential candidate said in a formal statement. Via video, however, Trump weighed in with a far lengthier response, saying, "I've never said I'm a perfect person, not pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me, knows these words don't reflect who I am." He added, "I said it, it was wrong and I apologize." (Eonline)

'BrainDead,' 'American Gothic' Canceled at CBS. Of the network's summer scripted fare, only 'Zoo' remains. CBS is abandoning ship on two of its three summer scripted originals. The network has canceled dramas BrainDead and American Gothic after one season each, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Of the network's three summer 2016 dramas, only the previously renewed Zoo will return. BrainDead marked the first post-The Good Wife series for showrunners Robert and Michelle King. The Washington, D.C.-set political horror satire was averaging a dismal 0.4 among adults 18-49 -- with seven days of DVR. The drama, produced in-house at CBS Television Studios, where the Kings are under a rich overall deal, starred Elizabeth Winstead, Danny Pino, Tony Shalhoub and Aaron Tveit and was picked up straight to series as part of CBS' summer model. After launching with a massive marketing push, the series debuted to just under 5 million live-same-day viewers in June before finishing its run in September with half the viewership. The move comes after CBS All Access recently announced that the Kings will serve as showrunners on the Good Wife spinoff after the duo initially wanted to take a backseat on the digital platform's follow-up drama. The decision to cancel Braindead was further complicated by CBS' SVOD deal with Amazon, which has rights to one summer scripted entry per year through 2018. American Gothic, from executive producer Corinne Brinkerhoff (who worked with the Kings on The Good Wife), starred Juliet Rylance and Justin Chatwin in a family drama with a serialized whodunnit twist. Produced by CBS Television Studios and Amblin Television, the straight-to-series project debuted to 3.4 million total viewers before ending its run with numbers that were only slightly better than BrainDead. CBS president Glenn Geller, talking with THR this summer, was the first to acknowledge that critical bombs Braindead and American Gothic hadn't delivered what he anticipated. The returns on both series paled in comparison to CBS' Under the Dome, which opened the door for pricey scripted originals to air in the typically low-rated summer months. Geller remains committed to scripted in the summer, but also is looking to broaden the field with game shows similar to ABC's retro lineup that helped the Disney-owned network improve its summer fortunes this year.
