Camila Mendes Is All Smiles Talking About New Boyfriend Victor Houston. Camila Mendes is happy being single no more. The Riverdale actress was all smiles when asked about her new beau, Victor Houston, in an interview with E! News' at the 2018 Beautycon event in Los Angeles on Saturday. "I can confirm, sure, I don't care," she said, adding, "Sorry, guys." Mendes and Houston went public with their romance last month with some PDA Instagram pics taken during her 24th birthday weekend in the Hamptons. A source told E! News at the time that the Riverdale actress has been dating him for the past two months, adding that they had attended neighboring high schools in Florida and had reconnected recently in New York. Mendes played coy while talking to Nylon magazine several weeks ago about her boyfriend, saying he was someone who didn't work in the entertainment industry. "It's just dating people in the industry is tough," she said. "I did for a little bit. I've just dated actors. It's hard when that's your world. You only meet people through work and that can be really tough, because you're not necessarily meeting people that you're similar to. It's just people that you're with because you're working on the same project. I've learned to not do that. Thank God nothing bad has ever happened from those experiences." (Eonline)

GC slowly made his way off his private jet Sunday after it touched down in Rome, where he's reportedly set to resume filming for his new Hulu series "Catch-22." He's got a hell of a limp going, but the actor's fighting through the pain to get to where he's gotta be. We broke the story ... George was doing 60 mph at the moment of impact last week, when his scooter struck a sedan in Sardinia. He was thrown 20 feet into the air, but was back on his feet just a couple days later.

Travis Barker Recalls Surviving ''Really Bad'' Car Crash With School Bus. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is happy to have emerged unscathed after a car accident as he continues to recover from unrelated blood clots. On Friday evening, the musician was driving his 14-year-old son, Landon Asher, and the boy's friend when a school bus collided with his black Mercedes SUV in Calabasas, California. No one was on the bus except for the driver. No injuries were reported. Barker's vehicle was totaled. "Yesterday, I was in a really bad car accident but I came out unscathed, which is pretty awesome," Barker told E! News at the 2018 Beautycon event in Los Angeles on Saturday. "My car is totaled but I pretty much walked away OK, which is awesome. A school bus ran a red light. It was insane. I have a really big 4x4 G-Wagon and if I wasn't in that, it might have been different but it held up pretty well. Barker attended the Beautycon event with his 12-year-old daughter Alabama Luella and former stepdaughter Atiana de la Hoya, 19. The accident took place a month after Blink-182 announced it had to postpone the band's upcoming Las Vegas concert residency because Barker was "suffering from blood clots in both arms and unfortunately cannot perform until cleared to do so by his medical team." "I am recovering, I have blood clots," Barker told E! News. "I have, I think, like 30 in my right hand in arm and I have about 10 in my left so I'm just waiting for them to clear up. I'm on blood thinners." The car crash also took almost 10 years after Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein survived a plane crash that killed four people after an aborted takeoff. Barker suffered second and third degree burns and underwent 16 surgeries. Goldstein died a year later from an accidental drug overdose. (Eonline)

The Real Housewives of New York City star has checked herself back into rehab, according to People. "This weekend, Luann was surrounded by her girlfriends and decided -- with their support -- that in light of recent circumstances, it is the healthiest choice for her not to attend Tuesday's reunion taping so that she can continue in her healing process," Bethenny Frankel confirmed to the publication. "Luann is now surrounded by a core group of people who truly have her best interests at heart and who are working to make sure she gets the help she needs." Luann's co-star added, "Bravo has been very supportive of Luann during this time. It's a brave and honest decision by her, and everyone is rallying around her and wants the best for her." In a separate statement, Bravo expressed their support for the reality star who has been with the show since season one. "Bravo supports Luann's decision to focus on her health," the network said in a statement to E! News. "She is part of the Bravo family and we continue to stand by her as she copes with this challenging situation. At this time, we hope everyone will respect her privacy."

Happy 4th of July, everyone! @noeldelesseps @victoriadelesseps #onedayatatime #lovemyfamily #grateful #rhony #countess," Luann wrote on Instagram.

Robin Williams may have been trying out the serious acting route on Good Will Hunting, but that doesn't mean he strayed from his comedic roots on set. Director Gus Van Sant remembers the late comedian in a new interview for The Daily Beast where he admits Williams was a little more serious on set than he expected him to be while filming. "I think when I met him, during that period he was very serious," Van Sant recalls. "Even when I cracked a little joke, it wasn't really recognized and he didn't follow it up with a joke. He didn't say anything which was funny. And I assumed that was because he was being serious, like a serious actor. For him, comedy was almost like a whole obsessional world in itself, so it was either full-on make the person die laughing, or just have no comment there." But the director says it was a whole different story when it came to Damon and members of the crew between takes. "He never tried to make me laugh, but he would try and make Matt laugh," he says. "And the crew was like a little audience that he had all the time, so he would sometimes just start doing stand-up in front of them, and he wouldn't stop until I'd say, 'You have to start working again.' And then he was like, 'Oh yeah, alright, boss.'" The actor won an Oscar for his performance in the movie. Damon won for Best Original Screenplay with cowriter Ben Affleck. Williams died by suicide in August 2014 after suffering from Lewy Body Dementia, a type of brain disease that affected his thinking, memory and movement control. It's the second-most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease. (People)

Tekashi69 is a free man -- for now -- after posting bail. 69 was behind bars in New York after NYPD hooked him up over a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly roughing up a kid in Harris County, Texas. He was taken to Rikers where he was awaiting extradition, but the judge allowed him to post $150k bail with the promise he'd fly back to Harris County and surrender himself. Tekashi was true to his word, flying to TX over the weekend and showing up just after midnight Monday where he surrendered, posted $5k bail and walked out. His arraignment is set for Friday but we're hearing he may be in court Monday morning ... it's unclear why he'd have to show up before the arraignment. The misdemeanor carries a maximum of 1 year in jail. (TMZ)

T.I.'s argument with a security guard in his gated community has amped up ... he's been charged with 3 misdemeanors. Prosecutors in Henry County charged the rapper with simple assault, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct stemming from his arrest back in May, when a security guard refused to let him into the premises. T.I.'s lawyer tells TMZ the charges are "baseless, ill-founded and unjustified." A source with direct knowledge of the case tells us ... T.I. likely faces no jail time. Tip's lawyer also states the security guard, Euwan James, "was fired for the way he handled the situation with T.I.," in a statement that was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As we first reported ... the security guard called 911 and said Tip was threatening him and asking him to step outside of the guard shack. T.I. was adamant he did not deserve to get arrested ... saying as much to cops. (TMZ)

He brought the Senators to the Stanley Cup finals in '07 and eventually won the title with the Blackhawks in 2013. He was arrested last year for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend with a weapon in 2016. The alleged victim, BET host Keshia Chante, claimed he'd abused her several times that year. Emery was 35.
