Eva Amurri Is Pregnant With Baby No. 2 -- Find Out the Sex. Congratulations are in order! Susan Sarandon's daughter, Eva Amurri, announced on her blog, Happily Eva After, that she and her husband are expecting their second child together. Already parents to adorable daughter Marlowe, Eva and Kyle Martino also revealed that they will be having a baby boy! "It is with so much joy, crazy excitement, and immense gratitude that Kyle, Marlowe and I would like to announce we are expecting a new addition to our family this Fall! We feel so lucky to be celebrating this special gift. Kyle and I can't wait to watch what a funny and loving Big Sister Marlowe will be, and we are cherishing our last months with her as the sole center of our Universe," she wrote on her website. "Aaaaand, because we have no patience and don't expect you to either, we would also like to tell you that we are expecting A BABY BOY!!!" Eva and Kyle welcomed Marlowe in August 2014, three years after the couple tied the knot. Marlowe's arrival officially made Sarandon a grandmother, but before her arrival she was still grappling with the fact that her own little girl was having a baby! "When your daughter's having a daughter, it's so interesting," Sarandon said during an interview. "I can't quite wrap my head around it yet, but I'm happy." Eva has always been candid on her blog, even opening up about the miscarriage she suffered shortly after Marlowe's first birthday. She had just shared the exciting news with close friends and family, but only a little while later it had all come to an end. "At my next visit for a routine ultrasound, however, the baby's heart was no longer beating," she wrote last summer. "Just like that, it was all over." She added, "What was so shocking to me is how common miscarriages are, versus how little I hear them talked about. I'm not sure if this is because people are ashamed to suffer this loss, or whether the loss is simply too painful to share (I can see how this could be the case also)." She was able to keep her head held eye, thanks to the "joy" her and Kyle's daughter brings to their lives. Now they'll have a little boy, too, to add to the mix! Congratulations to the happy family on its new addition! (Eonline)

Megan Fox Pregnant With Baby No. 3. Megan Fox just made an announcement without saying anything at all. Multiple sources confirm to E! News that the 29-year-old is pregnant with her third child. Monday evening, the actress stepped out on the red carpet for CinemaCon dressed in a form-fitting Versace dress which showed a baby bump. Megan's rep had no comment. Fox was on-hand at CinemaCon in Sin City for the next installment of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Las Vegas alongside her co-star Will Arnett. In August of 2015, the brunette beauty filed for divorce from Brian Austin Green, her husband of five years citing "irreconcilable differences." The two actors have two children together, sons Noah Green and Bodhi Green. However, despite the divorce news, it seems as though the two have been spending plenty of time together as of late. In fact, both were seen on multiple family outings around Los Angeles with and without their two kids. Per court documents, their divorce is still pending. Back in 2014, Fox opened up to Men's Health about her marriage to the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star. "You can't live in a fantasyland and think that everything's going to be perfect all the time. You will go through phases where you're just not getting along. You're not communicating well. That's going to happen, and it's going to feel impossible to you sometimes. It might not even make sense to you sometimes. Arguments are normal," she explained. "You have to be patient and sit through that and remember that this is a part of human communication and interaction... Brian is my soul mate. I happen to believe that. He's definitely meant to be the father of my children. That makes it easier for me to work through things, because I always see the spiritual side of things. I look at the end game." (Eonline)

Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet Is Looking for Love on Tinder. Eric Stonestreet is just like us -- looking for love on an app. The Modern Family star reveals to Ellen DeGeneres Tuesday that he has joined the dating app Tinder. After trying his hand at another app, Bumble, Stonestreet decided to move on to what the rest of the world was using. "Now I've done Bumble and I've tried this other one and the way I justify it, Ellen, is I shouldn't be because I'm on TV, I shouldn't be eliminated from participating in what's going on in the world," he explains on the host's daytime talk show. He admits that some of his friends are surprised that he would sign up for such an experience, given his exposure on the hit ABC comedy. "But people are always like, 'I can't believe you're on a dating app,'" he adds, "It's like well ya know, I very rarely meet people because I get nervous." He clarifies that he doesn't get "nervous" to talk to people, instead he gets anxious about meeting his matches in real life. When Ellen asks how many potential people he's met, he gets coy. "Hmm, I'm sorry hmmm?" he jokes. "I've had all varying degrees of fun," he finally admits. Ellen tries to push him further about his "fun," but he doesn't relent. "Is this show on at late night now and I don't know about it?" he jests. Stonestreet was previously linked to Bethenny Frankel, who told the Today show that she was "happy" with the actor. She also explained, however, that she wasn't tying herself down to one man. "I am dating and I am having a really good time," Frankel said before plugging one of her recent projects. "In my book, I Suck at Relationships, I talk about working the burners. You want something on simmer, something boiling, taken something off." "Wait, do you have multiple burners going right now?" Savannah Guthrie asked. "I mean, I may be working the burners. I think that's what women should do. I mean, I haven't been that lucky in relationships, so it's going to be a while until I profess my undying love, but the Today show will be the first place that I tell if I have anything to tell, because you know I'm an open book," Frankel said.

Helena Bonham Carter Realizes She's an "Aunt" After Congratulating Anne Hathaway on Her Baby Boy. Don't call Helena Bonham Carter the Red Queen. Call her a proud auntie. On Monday afternoon, the Alice Through the Looking Glass star participated in a Facebook Live Q&A with producer Suzanne Todd. Before the ladies got down to business, there was one thing that needed to be addressed. "Speaking of births, we have to do a shout-out for our lovely white queen Anne Hathaway who had her little baby boy," Suzanne shared at the beginning of the program. "Congratulations to her." "That's so nice," Helena continued while speaking of her on-screen sister. "I'm so happy for them. So that makes me an aunt." Suzanne added, "Yes, you have a new little nephew." LOL! Just last week, E! News exclusively confirmed that Anne and her husband Adam Shulman welcomed a baby boy named Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman. "The baby is extremely healthy and is surrounded by friends and family in L.A.," a source shared with E! News. "Anne and Adam are ecstatic to be parents." In fact, another insider explained that the newborn is "such a sweet and happy baby. He looks like a mixture between Anne and Adam." Fortunately for movie fans, Anne was able to reprise her role as the White Queen in the upcoming James Bobin-directed tale long before becoming a mom. The film picks up with Alice determined to rescue an ailing Mad Hatter from Time's villainous grasp. During filming, both Anne and Helena created some on-set memories that may have involved a classic game of karaoke. "She's a great singer, so we sang a lot of Wicked," Helena confessed in the Facebook chat. "I was stuck with Anne a lot of the time in a sort of harness hanging 20 feet high up, [and] we had a lot of time." (Eonline)

Drew Barrymore Wasn't Always Sure Will Kopelman Was The One. Just a handful of days after Drew Barrymore shockingly announced her plans to divorce her husband of four years, this pre-split interview is eerily indicative of the storm brewing underneath. As the saying goes, hindsight is indeed 20/20. In an interview with Good Housekeeping for the May 2016 issue, the 41-year-old Golden Globe winner showed signs of personal discontent when she was asked how she would rate her current happiness. "Yesterday I was a 10, tomorrow I might be an 8, this afternoon I might be a 3 and tonight I might be an 11. I just have a lot on my plate right now, and it's hard to figure out the puzzle pieces for the next year of my life," she admitted. When the interviewer asked her to elaborate, she replied, "Oh, just work-wise, geography-wise, life-wise." Life-wise, indeed. Unbeknownst to the magazine or the public, Barrymore was on the brink of a divorce from Will Kopelman, an art consultant whom she wed in June 2012 and is the father of her two daughters, Olive and Frankie. "Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family," the pair announced in a statement on April 2. "Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on. Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority." Now, her remarks to Good Housekeeping read like an explanation of the couple's downfall rather than a retelling of their courtship. "I don't think there was one moment when I knew I wanted to spend my life with Will," she said. "It was a sweeping, fluid process. It was falling in love with his family, being ready to have a family of my own and thinking if I had a family with this family, it would be really wonderful. Sometimes there's just a time to go for it with a good person." Fortunately, Barrymore has the ceaseless support of her best girlfriends throughout this challenging personal time, including A-list BFF Cameron Diaz. "If you are in scary prison in the middle of nowhere, call Cameron," she described. "She'll get you out. If you're looking for the best dinner-cooking partner and watching-TV-on-the-couch friend, call her. If someone is in a medical situation, call her! She's the most loyal, fierce, fun, cozy friend. We have incredible honesty with each other, and we work hard on our lives and our friendship." In return, Drew is fiercely devoted to the women she calls her "first family." "My girlfriends are my first family, and they know that I would lie down and die for them," she says with tears in her eyes. "My love for them is unbreakable." (Eonline)

She's usually a Broncos fan ... but Kate Hudson put her allegiance aside to go on a date with Houston Texans superstar J.J. Watt -- and it was all captured on video!!! 36-year-old Hudson posted video from her date with the 27-year-old Monday night -- showing the two playfully flirting during a romantic dinner. At one point, the two were playing with a Snapchat filter that automatically puts animated stars on one of the people in the video ... and that's when J.J. confirmed the two were on an official "date." "Apparently, the stars belong to the hottest person on the date," Watt said. No word on how long the two have been dating -- but it appears the two also went on a date on Saturday ... because J.J. posted a pic of wine glasses, roses and cookies for 2 ... but didn't reveal who it was for. Now, it seems we know. MAZEL!!! BTW, Hudson has dated superstar athletes in the past -- she was famously connected to Alex Rodriguez back in 2009. (TMZ)

On and on, indeed. In a long-winded Twitter rant, R&B legend Erykah Badu stated that girls should wear long skirts to school as not to distract male teachers. "There was an article ruling that high school girls lower their skirts so male teachers are not distracted. I agreed because I am aware we live in a sex I-driven society," she wrote on Monday, April 11. "... if I had a school I would make sure that the uniform skirt length was a nice knee length... It is fair to everyone." Badu, who is the mother of two daughters, Puma, 11, and Mars, 7, felt compelled to voice her opinion after reading a news story about a New Zealand school that forced female students to wear conservative skirts that fall below the knee. "It is everyone's, male and female's responsibility to protect young ladies," she continued. "One way to protect youth is to remind them we are sexual in nature and as they grow and develop it is natural to attract men." However, the singer, 44, contradicted herself several tweets later by saying that her daughters should be able to "wear what they like, yet be aware." She then reverted back to her initial argument by writing: "We are sexual beings. We should consider everyone. Young girls are attractive. Some males are distracted." Badu's comments were largely interpreted as perpetuating rape culture and ignited major backlash. "I love Erykah Badu as much as the next person but what was said is definitely the type of mindset that perpetuates rape culture," one disappointed tweeter wrote, while another fumed: "Erykah Badu is literally entrenching heteronormativity, rape culture and ignorance right now, sobering reminder that we are all problematic." Some of Badu's followers were so outraged by her message that they even unfollowed her. Several declared they were no longer fans. "Had to unfollow Erykah Badu for that nonsense she was tweeting. Don't make young girls responsible for older men's actions," a social media user wrote. "Good to see the rape culture and misogyny is alive and well in Erykah Badu's heart," added another. "Used to like you BYE." This isn't the first time the neo soul songstress' words have stirred controversy. When she hosted BET's 2015 Soul Train Awards last November, Badu took aim at Iggy Azalea, discrediting her talent by saying, "Who is this? Iggy Azalea? ... What you're doing is definitely not rap." Not long after, fans criticized Badu for not supporting women. Azalea, 25, defended herself on Twitter. "We are days from 2016, but I came online today and saw its still cool to try and discredit my 2014 accomplishments. LOL," the Aussie star wrote on December 1, 2015. "F--king hell. Seems exhausting. Anyway - Ive been enjoying the holiday season and i hope you all have too." (US Weekly)

Gwyneth Paltrow wants you to know that she still has sex! Needless to say, the Goop founder and chief creative officer has a lot going on -- but she thinks it's essential not to lose your "true sexuality." In May's issue of Self mag promoting her new cookbook It's All Easy, the 43-year-old opens up about balancing all aspects of her crazy busy life: "I have yet to meet someone who isn't burdened with hyper-responsibility. Everyone is suffering from this sense of 'I have to do it all and I have to do it perfectly.' It's all my friends, all my colleagues: We try to do everything to such a high standard. And I'm like, 'Where did we get this from? Because I'm f*cking exhausted!'" But she still finds time to explore her sexuality and put herself first: "We have this idea that you can't be a mother and a businesswoman and like to have sex! How is an intelligent woman a sexual being? It's really hard to integrate those things. Like, 'Gwyneth has sex? Really?' It doesn't seem to go together. But I think it's important, as mothers and as women contributing to society in whatever way we each are, that our true sexuality doesn't get lost or put aside." Get you some, girl! Back to Goop -- the mother-of-two isn't just the face of the company, she's making nearly every business decision: "I'm responsible for every photo, every piece of content, all the product that we're making. I do all the creative. But I'm also involved in the business side and the strategy. It's challenging!" All of this, of course, comes second to being a mother to Apple, 11, and Moses, 10: "If I make my kids something delicious and we sit down to eat it, and I put my phone away and I really listen, that is such money in the bank." And most of the Goop employees -- who are all women except for two -- share Gwynnie's work-life balance mentality: "I love working with mothers. Mothers take care of business!" She continued: "I think women here would tell you that the work-life balance is pretty good. We want to enjoy life. But there's a lot to do! We're all awake to the fact that we really can achieve what we set out to achieve." (Perez Hilton)

Drew Barrymore's primary focus in life-now, more than ever-is on the well-being of her girls. The actress, who recently announced her split from her husband of nearly four years, Will Kopelman, tells Good Housekeeping in its May 2016 issue that her daughters, Olive, 3, and Frankie, 2, make her who she is. "I thought I knew what love was, but holy cow, I did not," she says of her children. "I could never have imagined the kind of love I have for my children. I am who I am because of my daughters. I'm an overachiever parent, and not because I think I'm going to repeat the patterns of my parents." Barrymore's own upbringing was less than traditional, a childhood she doesn't fear her children will share. "I've already broken that pattern in my life," she explains. "But having grown up in the opposite way, I'm raising my children with all consistency, all protection. This is my chance to get it right." The actress' protective nature toward her daughters isn't surprising – she and Kopelman noted in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE that their "first priority" is their children, and that they plan to remain a family. But how is Barrymore working on her own well-being? A source previously told PEOPLE that Barrymore, 41, is remaining "optimistic for the future," and believes in love and happiness-sentiments she echoed in the Good Housekeeping interview, which was done prior to the announcement of her breakup. "Happiness is not this yellow, blithe, floating thing," she shares. "It's something that takes a tremendous amount of work. There's a warrior aspect to being happy. You've got to fight for it. And only when you've got that kind of earned happiness is it really good." Barrymore has established a support system to help her achieve that happiness: namely, BFF Cameron Diaz, who previously said she "of course" reached out to the actress after hearing the divorce news. "If you are in scary prison in the middle of nowhere, call Cameron," Barrymore tells Good Housekeeping. "She'll get you out. If you're looking for the best dinner-cooking partner and watching- TV-on-the-couch friend, call her. If someone is in a medical situation, call her! She's the most loyal, fierce, fun, cozy friend. We have incredible honesty with each other, and we work hard on our lives and our friendship. My girlfriends are my first family, and they know that I would lie down and die for them. My love for them is unbreakable." Drew Barrymore Shares Her Favorite Childhood Memories. Don't expect Olive and Frankie to follow in Diaz and Barrymore's footsteps, beyond those attributes, though: "I'd never let them become child actors," she says. "They'll have a chastity belt, a tracker system, no cell phones and we'll live in the middle of nowhere," she jokes to the magazine. "In reality, I'll just lead by example by being spirited, classy, consistent, philanthropic, hardworking, loyal to my friends and there any second they might need me." Good Housekeeping's May 2016 issue hits newsstands on April 19. (People)

Michael Jackson fans are fuming over Paris Jackson's relationship with her older rocker boyfriend Michael Snoddy after teen Paris has reportedly gotten six tattoos in April alone, including one inside her lip. Inked-up Snoddy, 26, is firing back at fans since he drew a barrage of criticism on social media over a tattoo of the Confederate flag he has on his forearm. He insists his ink art isn't racist. "Anyone that knows me personally knows that I have love for all people. I don't care if you're [bleeping] purple," Snoddy exclusively told Page Six. "If you conduct yourself as a human being, you are to be treated as such," said the drummer. I am from the South, and I know that we don't have the best history, but no matter where you are from or what skin you are in, be proud of who you are and where you came from." He's also said the tattoo is a reference to an early album by metal band Pantera. Snoddy added, "I'm sorry if the art that I have on my body is offensive to anyone. Symbols can mean many different things to a lot of people. To me, it represents my home and one of my favorite bands growing up. I'm not shoving it in anyone's face. It is on my body for me to enjoy. It's all about the music for me." A source told us last month of his new relationship with Paris, who just turned 18 and inherited more of her late father's millions, "It's only been a couple of weeks, but they are together a lot. They really like each other. It's a real relationship, and things are moving fast." A picture was leaked on social media showing the newly minted lovebirds' showing off matching hand tattoos, which read "I love you," with a heart symbol. Also posted was a photo of Paris revealing a tattoo reading "Mötley" on her inner lip, which garnered at least one fan: Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee. "Omfg!!!! @ParisJackson you are a beautiful creature," Lee posted. "Most lip tattoos are temporary and y'all have been my favorite since I was 12, so I figured why not," she replied. "Glad you like!!" (Page Six)

Rick Ross has something in common with Rob Kardashian ... they're both wasting away, but there's one major difference -- Rozay isn't cutting back on his chicken wing intake. Sources close to Rozay tell us he's determined to lose the lbs he packed on after his arrest for assault and kidnapping -- so, he's back on his RossFit program -- which requires daily workouts. It's working. He's already down more than 60 lbs, and the weight loss was obvious in his recent Snapchat. Our sources say Ross used to scarf down a huge plate of food before bed, but now he's eating earlier in the evening ... and he's eating more fruits, veggies and drinking water instead of soda. The boss is still cheating though. We're told he's still gotta have wings from his Wingstop restaurants. Some habits he just won't kick. (TMZ)

What would Boots think? Parents claim their teen daughter was expelled from a New York City high school after Dora the Explorer voice actress Fatima Ptacek pressured her into vaping on campus. In their Manhattan civil suit, parents Nadia Leonelli and Fredrik Sundwall say that they helped found the elite $40,000-a-year Avenues: The World School (where Suri Cruise was once a student), from which their child was booted. In court documents revealed by the New York Post, Leonell and Sundwall claim that on December 10, 2015, their 14-year-old (identified simply as M.S.) "was approached by her friend, F.P., who is a year older in 10th grade at Avenues, to go into the bathroom and try smoking flavored water vapor in a 'vape' pen that F.P. had borrowed from a fellow 10th grade classmate" -- aka 15-year-old Ptacek. Ptacek currently serves as the lead voice in the latest edition of the Nickelodeon children's animated series Dora and Friends: Into the City! The Queens native has given life to the beloved Spanish-teaching, thrill-seeking character since 2012. Ptacek also played a part in the 2013 Academy Award-winning short film Curfew. Leonelli and Sundwall believe Ptacek's Hollywood credits attributed to her influence over their daughter. In the documents obtained by the Post, they claim that M.S. "was reluctant to try but gave in to peer pressure, wanting to appear 'cool' in front of F.P. because she is older than M.S. and is a celebrity, being the actress who does the voice of Dora the Explorer on television and having a movie nominated for the Oscars." Leonelli and Sundwall also add that while the girls were reprimanded (their daughter more harshly), the vape pen did not contain any tobacco or drugs, but instead just caramel-flavored water. According to the New York Post, the distraught parents have spent more than $10,000 in legal fees fighting for justice. They have slammed the school for making an "inappropriate decision" in expelling their daughter. They are also waiting on a refund. Apparently, they haven't been reimbursed any of the $40,000 tuition even though their daughter was let go from Avenues only a few months into the school year. While M.S. was made to leave the prestigious college preparatory, Ptacek was only served a three-day suspension and was allowed to remain a student. Leonelli and Sundwall believe their daughter was the "scapegoat" and Ptacek received special treatment due to her child star status. (US Weekly)

A judge said Monday she is inclined to allow Blake Shelton's defamation lawsuit against the publisher of In Touch Weekly to proceed based on a headline that proclaimed the country star was headed to rehab. U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder delivered her tentative ruling Monday in Los Angeles, saying it appeared In Touch "cherry-picked" facts to support its "Rehab for Blake" headline that appeared on a September 2015 magazine cover. Shelton sued Bauer Publishing Co. in October over the headline and an accompanying story that included several anecdotes of the country music star's supposed drunken antics. Shelton, who is a judge on NBC's "The Voice," denies several key events in the story occurred and states he does not have a drinking problem. Bauer's attorney Elizabeth McNamara said if Snyder's ruling becomes official, it will be appealed. She urged the judge to reconsider basing her ruling on In Touch's headline, and instead said the judge should focus on the allegations of Shelton's excessive drinking, which she said there was enough evidence to support. McNamara said the Grammy-nominated singer had created his "entire reputation around excessive drinking." Snyder, however, said a jury should decide whether the implication that Shelton needed rehab was defamatory. She said she intended to issue a ruling in a few days. Shelton's attorney Stanton "Larry" Stein attacked McNamara's arguments and In Touch's story, saying they were completely false. "This is a man who functions professionally," Stein said. He rejected the notion that In Touch's story was based on actual events, saying anecdotes the tabloid relied upon are "absolutely 100 percent false." Snyder urged the attorneys to settle the case, saying it would be costly for both sides if it went through an appeal. The "Boys 'Round Here" singer has also denied the magazine's claims, writing in a sworn declaration submitted to Snyder, "Not only was I not in rehab or headed to rehab when it was published, but I also do not have a drinking problem." Shelton, 39, noted the September 2015 story came at a time when he was working on new music, negotiating endorsement deals and when his role hosting Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards was about to be announced. "I felt that the rehab story jeopardized both my personal and professional reputation and that I needed to do everything I could to set the record straight," Shelton wrote. (Page Six)

Zoey 101's Chris Massey Arrested for Domestic Violence After Allegedly Fighting With Girlfriend in Las Vegas. Zoey 101 star Chris Massey has been arrested after getting into a fight with his girlfriend Cassalei Jackson in Las Vegas, E! News has learned. The former child star was booked for misdemeanor domestic violence and was detailed by security at the Marquee Club at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Sin City until local authorities arrived. Chris allegedly shoved Cassalei after the two got into an argument early Sunday morning, TMZ reports. At present time, Chris has been released on bail. Less than one week ago, Chris posted a photo of him with his arm around his girlfriend and wrote the following sweet message for a caption: "I love you. No matter what I always got your back." Then, Cassalei posted the exact same photo with no caption attached. She did, however, write "f--king Vegas man" on Twitter Sunday evening along with "Have you ever been wide awake blacked out?" Shar Jackson, Cassalei's mother (who you may recall has two children with Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline) has yet to weigh in on the incident on social media. While Chris has yet to be formally charged by the DA, he has a return to court date scheduled for May 10. (Eonline)

Kate Middleton Explains How She Lost Weight After Having Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Talk about a curious professor. When Kate Middleton and Prince William made an appearance Monday evening at an event honoring Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, they may have expected some delicious cake, party favors and good company. As it turns out, the Duchess of Cambridge was asked a personal question during the celebration that is receiving some attention. "We said, 'How do you lose all the weight after having two kids?'" Professor Bulbul Dhar-James told multiple reporters when recanting the day. "And she said, 'I am running after my kids!'" That wasn't all! The professor later asked how Prince George and Princess Charlotte's mom stays so happy during all of her engagements. "I asked her, 'Aren't you tired of smiling?' And she said, 'I'm just reciprocating. Everyone is so warm.'" Eloquent and classy wouldn't you say? Professor Bulbul ultimately ended the brief conversation by complimenting the Duchess. "They were both really gracious. She was so welcoming and warm. We told her, 'You look much better in person than in your photographs.'" Putting surprise questions aside, Kate appeared to enjoy her evening where Prince William delivered a speech honoring his "granny." In front of 2,000 guests from academia, military service, politics and the business world, the Duke described his family member as a "wonderful great-grandmother" for his children and very much his "boss." And while the Queen may not turn 90 until next week, William was quick to call her the "guiding force" for her family. William and Kate's trip will continue Tuesday where they are expected to have lunch with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They will also travel to the Kaziranga National Park in Assam. (Eonline)

Billy Ray Cyrus Speaks Out Against Anti-LGBT Laws in North Carolina and Mississippi. Billy Ray Cyrus is standing up in support of the LGBT community and his daughter, Miley Cyrus. The singer joins many other celebrities who are speaking out against the "bathroom law" in North Carolina and the "Religious Freedom" bill in Mississippi, both of which limit the rights of the LGBT community. Most recently, Bryan Adams made the announcement that he would no longer play shows in Mississippi due to the bill. Now, Cyrus has taken to Facebook to speak out against the law, too. "I would feel negligent to not speak up," he wrote. "In light of my good friend Bryan Adams taking a stand and my daughter having been on the ground floor of this movement, this issue is very important to me." "As a friend and dad... I've witnessed this fight from the very beginning," he added. "I think everyone should be treated equal. We've come too far; we can't mess this up." The controversial religious freedom bill was passed earlier this month by Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, promising that the state government will not punish people who refuse to provide services to people because of a religious opposition to same-sex marriage, extramarital sex or transgender people. Meanwhile, in North Carolina, the General Assembly created and passed a bill (known as "HB2" or the "bathroom law") that will block local governments within the state from enacting any anti-discrimination legislature meant to protect the LGBT community -- including their right to use either bathroom based off of which gender they use to identify. Cyrus and Adams joins the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Ellen DeGeneres and Laverne Cox in speaking out against both laws. Springsteen canceled his concert in North Carolina over the weekend, releasing the following statement: "As you, my fans, know I'm scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the 'bathroom' law. HB2 -- known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act -- dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden." Laverne cox also tweeted about the HB2 bill, saying, "I am so disappointed in the governor and legislature of North Carolina. Overturn #HB2. Stay strong. This law is clearly unconstitutional and will not survive a court challenge. Let's let this mobilize us." After the Mississippi bill was passed, DeGeneres commented, adding a bit of humor but still speaking out against it. "I mean look, there's already so much inequality in the world. Women's rights, gender pay gap, racism. I think we need to remember that we are more similar than we are different. And we all want the same things. Love, acceptance, kindness. And I want one of those new Teslas," she said. "So I advocate for less hate and more love. Less tearing apart and more coming together. Less sitting and more dancing." (Eonline)

From Hawaii to England, and now to Colorado, Katy Perry and Orlando's romance is certainly adventurous. The pair were spotted in Aspen over the weekend as first reported by E! News. Perry, 31, and Bloom, 39, walked arm-in-arm in the snow-covered town looking very much a couple, though neither have yet to confirm their relationship. On Saturday, the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales actor also accompanied his girlfriend to celebrity stylist Jamie Schneider's star-studded wedding. Perry and Bloom celebrated the nuptials with Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden, Alba and husband Cash Warren, and Kate Hudson. The singer and her beau first ignited relationship rumors in January at a Golden Globes after-party, and in February, Perry was first introduced to his 5-year-old son Flynn. "Orlando is very protective of his son. To introduce Flynn to Katy, she must mean [a lot] to him," a source previously told PEOPLE. (People)

Yolanda Foster never dreamt that divorce would be an option. "It's shocking. David was my life partner. My best friend. And I miss my best friend," the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star shared during the season finale, which airs Tuesday night. Foster, 52, who announced she and David Foster, 66, were separating after four years of marriage last December, filed for divorce in January. "Divorce is almost like a death," she added. And while she and the Grammy-award winner have remained amicable since the split, Foster has moved out of their Malibu mansion. "I couldn't live in the same house with David. It was very important to me to find healing space that is mine and a place for my children to call home," she said. "The new condo feels like a very safe space. We anchored there. That's where the family belongs now." Foster purchased a $4.59 million condo at the upscale Carlyle Residence in Los Angeles in December. According to Curbed, the 3,950-square-foot space includes three bedrooms with 11-foot high ceilings sprawling throughout. The second floor also boasts a guest suite. Though her new digs will take some getting used to, like her divorce, Foster is taking everything one day at a time. "I hope to be moving forward to a brighter future," Foster told Us Weekly in December, "and I'm just trying to get through it one day at a time." (Page Six)

Julianne Moore is taking her fight for tougher gun laws in America to women across the internet. On Tuesday, the 55-year-old actress and mother of two wrote a passionate essay for Lena Dunham's newsletter, Lenny, inspired by the killings at Newtown, Conn., asking women to join Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization working to close background-check loopholes. "An average of 91 people a day are killed by gun violence. That includes children killed by random bullets, mass shootings at workplaces and universities, intimate-partner homicides, and suicides. Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than women in any other developed nation. More than half are killed by a boyfriend, husband, or someone else in her family," Moore wrote. As a solution, Moore believes in closing loopholes for gun ownership. "Because our weak gun-safety laws allow guns to end up in the hands of dangerous people. Roughly 40 percent of firearms in the United states are acquired without a background check, so criminals can obtain weapons they shouldn't have," she continued. Eighteen states in America have closed background-check loopholes, which resulted in 46% fewer intimate-partner homicides, 48% fewer police gun homicides and 48& fewer firearm suicides. And in this November, voters in both Nevada and Maine will decide whether or not to expand background checks. She's now urging the remaining 32 states to take action (Page Six)

Bethenny Frankel is a solo act. Some of her "Real Housewives" co-stars are feeling put-out because Frankel won't do press with them. While other cast members have done interviews to promote the new season of the Bravo show in pairs or groups, Frankel will only appear alone. "[Other cast members] feel that although they may be a 'dysfunctional family,' they are a family. It's an ensemble cast," said an insider. A rep for Frankel said: "Bethenny appears solo because she has a hugely successful Skinnygirl brand, a TV production company, a compelling personality and is immensely quotable. She's the perfect guest." (Page Six)

Kristen Stewart has dyed her hair blonde - a very bright shade of blonde at that. The young star stepped out in LAX hand-in-hand with her girlfriend Soko Sokolinski, and revealed her new peroxide blonde locks. Although much of her hair was concealed by the beanie hat she wore, Kristen's hair was still noticeably different in a bleached hue. All eyes were on her new 'do as she kept her makeup pared-down and her outfit ultra-casual. We're torn over how we feel about this new look - tweet us your thoughts @GlamourMagUK. (British Glamour)

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell are back starring in the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The two supermodels helped launched the campaign in 1996 and these new photos - taken by Mario Testino - see the pair reprise the same poses. "It's great to be returning to support Fashion Targets Breast Cancer on this very special anniversary year," said Moss. "Since its UK launch in 1996, when I first appeared in the campaign poster, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has gone on to impact so many lives by funding vital research into this devastating disease.'' The British high street have come together to create the collection, with pieces from Topshop, River Island, Laura Ashley, Hush and The Fold. A minimum of 30 percent of every item sold will go to the campaign. We'll be snapping up Hush's sequined slip dress (Glastonbury here we come). "Sadly, we have all been affected by cancer at some point in our lives and there is nothing worse than knowing that a woman close to your heart has breast cancer," said Testino. "That is why this campaign is so important." To make a donation and show your support, visit Fashiontargetsbreastcancer.org.uk. (British Glamour)

Rob Kardashian Reveals the ''Motivation'' Behind His Weight Loss. Rob Kardashian has turned a new leaf in life, dedicating a lot of his time to making healthier decisions like hitting the gym and eating right. Though he's the one putting in the extra work, he still gives credit to his fiancee, Blac Chyna, for being his "motivation" to do so. In fact, the reality star took to Instagram to share a sweet message about his weight loss and how Chyna has helped him. "Looking from where I started 298lbs to my current weight now 248.4lbs," he wrote beside a photo of him and Chyna. "I'm focused and determined to reach my goal weight 200-205lbs .... Happy I found my motivation." Meanwhile, Chyna took to Snapchat last week to reveal that she was "getting Rob ready" for her birthday, May 11. Documenting him as he stepped on the scale to show how much he weighs now (248.4 pounds), Chyna explained that she is going to train her man daily over the next fives weeks to help him reach his goal weight. Other than helping him in the gym, Chyna has also packed Rob's pantry with healthy options. In February, the couple took their followers on a tour of all the food he eats, including quinoa, fat-free sorbets, oatmeal and more. The collaborative effort between the two has certainly paid off as Rob has been photographed looking thinner than he's been in years. (Eonline)

Kylie Jenner Baffled The Internet After Claiming She 'Started Wigs' -- See The Best Reactions! Um... what?! Kylie Jenner recently spoke with Marie Claire for its third annual Fresh Faces issue when the topic of wigs came up... and Kylie took all the credit in the world! No, literally, she took all the credit in the world for making wigs a thing! The KUWTK star, maybe feeling herself a bit too much, said of wigs: "I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night. ... I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow." Um... where do we even go with this one?! Oh wait -- we don't have to, because the Internet has gone there for us!! Appropriately sensing how ridiculous of a thing it was to say, random Internet users from all over reacted on Twitter to King Kylie's wig comment, and they weren't exactly generous with the teen starlet!

The music and comic book galaxies are coming together for a special you-didn't-see-this-coming event. Wizard World is adding a music concert component to its comic convention this summer, with Grimes confirmed as its first headliner. The Canadian electro-pop artist will lead the New Music Concert Series, billed as the first-ever music concert series to accompany a comic con. It'll launch at Philadelphia's Electric Factory on June 3 (with Hana in support) to coincide with the June 2-5 Wizard World Comic Con. Grimes (real name Claire Boucher) is currently touring the U.S., and there's a chance she could road test new material with the Philly crowd. She recently told Rolling Stone she's making good progress on the follow-up to 2015's Art Angels. "I'm actually halfway done with another record," she said. "I'm not committing to anything, but I have a bunch of B-sides I kind of want to finish." The comic con tie-in shows will continue with New York singer and songwriter Melanie Martinez announced for July 29 in Columbus, Ohio, and organizers say additional artists and cities will be unveiled in due course. "Wizard World Comic Con already presents the best in celebrity meet and greets, movies, television, science fiction and comics and we believe that including music is the next logical progression to provide a great experience for our fans," said Randy Malinoff, COO of Wizard World, in a statement. "These live music events are a key component to the continued growth of our brand." For more details visit the Wizard World website. (Billboard)

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are having the time of their lives on tour in Europe in support of This Unruly Mess I've Made album. How do we know? They just dropped one of their classic "check out how much fun this is" videos for the song "Brad Pitt's Cousin." Packed with footage from their hometown of Seattle and iconic spots on their European tour (and adorable shots of Mack with his one-year-old daughter, Sloane), the clip has Mack doing everything from roller skating to getting his teeth cleaned, sledding, shooting off fireworks in the street, twerking on the sidewalks of Lisbon in a panda suit and bouncing to the song's beats in a packed bathroom shower stall with some backup dancers. The duo's European tour ends on Apr. 27 and the U.S. leg kicks off on May 26 in Portland at the Memorial Coliseum. (Billboard)

Like all of us, sometimes Justin Bieber just needs to chill. And, like all of us, he's still trying to figure out the lyrics to Rihanna's "Work." Bieber, 22, got to do a little of both Monday night, when he slid up to a piano in a hotel lobby during a break from his Purpose tour to play thoughtful, Coldplay-esque covers of "Work" and Drake's "Hotline Bling." At press time the videos had one million likes apiece. Also, he's kind of excited about this. (Billboard)

A trial is needed to determine if Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" copies its opening notes from a song performed by the rock band Spirit, a federal judge has ruled. U.S District Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled Friday that lawyers for the trustee of late Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe had shown enough evidence to support a case that "Stairway to Heaven" copies music from the Spirit song "Taurus." "Taurus" was written by Wolfe in either 1966 or 1967, years before Led Zeppelin released "Stairway to Heaven" in 1971. Klausner wrote that while the songs have some differences, lawyers for Wolfe's trustee may be able to prove they are substantially similar. Led Zeppelin and Spirit performed at some concerts and festivals around the same time, but not on the same stage. Klausner wrote that the evidence presented so far represented a circumstantial case that Led Zeppelin may have heard "Taurus" performed before "Stairway to Heaven" was created. After-hours phone and email messages sent to Helene M. Freeman, Led Zeppelin's attorney, were not immediately returned. Experts hired by the band contend both "Stairway to Heaven" and "Taurus" use notes that have been used in music for centuries. Francis Alexander Malofiy, attorney for Wolfe's trustee Michael Skidmore, praised the ruling. He said while many copyright cases are an uphill battle, Klausner's ruling brings his client one step closer to getting Wolfe credit for helping create one of the most recognizable song introductions in rock history. Skidmore was able to overcome statute-of-limitations hurdles to sue over "Stairway to Heaven" because the song was remastered and re-released in 2014. A jury trial is scheduled for May 10 in Los Angeles. Klausner's ruling removed Zeppelin band member John Paul Jones from the case. Bandmates Robert Plant and Jimmy Page remain defendants in the case. A trial would represent the third time in recent months that a Los Angeles federal jury has heard a copyright-infringement case involving a hit song. In March 2015, a jury found that Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams had copied a Marvin Gaye song to create their 2013 hit, "Blurred Lines" and awarded Gaye's children $7.4 million. A judge trimmed the award, and the verdict is under appeal. Later in the year, another jury was empaneled to determine whether the Jay-Z hit "Big Pimpin'" copied the work of an Egyptian composer, but a judge ruled in the rapper's favor before deliberations began.

Timbaland is juggling a slew of projects at the moment: he's been in the studio with Justin Timberlake and Diddy, hinted at collaborations with Missy Elliott and Drake and is helming the 20-track Empire: Original Soundtrack, Season 2 Volume 2album due out April 29 -- not to mention his own Opera Noir project that's still in the works. But don't expect him to share many details about everything that's on the way; these days, the super-producer is more about showing rather than telling. April 12 he unveils his new collaboration with the NBA, an original song called "Every Second Counts" that will appear in an ad debuting Tuesday night on TNT and airing throughout the NBA Playoffs and Finals. The 30-second spot is part of the NBA's This Is Why We Play advertising campaign, which launched at the beginning of the season, and will premiere at some point during Tuesday night's double-header featuring the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the San Antonio Spurs before the regular season comes to an end Wednesday. "I thought it was a brilliant idea," Timbaland told Billboard on Monday about the opportunity, which was presented to him by a business partner. "He just thought the music that I create would be perfect for what they're looking for." The NBA Playoffs officially kick off Saturday, April 16, while the Finals are set to begin June 2. "They just said they wanted energy, so that's why they came to me," Timbaland said. "The NBA is great, but it's about contributing my music to a part of rhythm, and basketball is a rhythm. That's what made it stick out to me." The collaboration, which Timbaland described as "the beginning" of what could lead to more spots, is the latest in a string of news regarding the Virginia native's out-of-the-box musical exploits. In January, he announced a new partnership with licensing company Jingle Punks to create original music for film, television, ad campaigns, video games and sponsorships, which seems to be bearing fruit with the announcement Monday that he was nearing an agreement to executive produce music for the upcoming Jamie Foxx animated feature Groove Tails. And in addition to Empire, Timbo has teamed with LaLa Anthony and Leftfield Entertainment for a new hip-hop-inspired docuseries that will exist in the same realm as the Fox hit show, though that project is still in development. But you didn't hear it from him. "I don't like talking about what I [have coming up]," he said. "You just gotta see." (Billboard)

Steve Miller Trashes Rock Hall After Induction: 'This Whole Industry F---ng Sucks'. Steve Miller did not leave Friday night's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony -- for which he was included -- feeling good about the whole thing. Rather, quite the opposite. During his acceptance speech, the rocker called the event a "lazy night" with "a bunch of fat cats" and got even more grouchy after the fact, telling reporters backstage that "the whole process is unpleasant" and it "needs to be changed from the top to the bottom." In an interview with Rolling Stone published Monday (April 11), Miller tripled down on these sentiments and then some. He trashed the ceremony and basically everyone involved, including his own label rep. "The whole experience should be completely redesigned and become much more artist-friendly," he said. "Starting from who you can invite, what you can do, how long you can play, what you can say. The whole thing is sort of an amateur production and doing this is harder than doing a 20-city tour." Miller went on, "A hundred thousand phone calls; the contract work. The licensing still isn't signed and isn't complete. Everybody is kind of a dick and an asshole. And every artist you talk to will tell you that. You're lucky that everybody didn't f---ing walk out. It was very, very close." And then there's the music business as a whole, by which he seemed equally turned off -- if not more. "All the people that were sitting in the front row tonight, like the guy that came from my record company, I wanted to pull him by his necktie and kick him in the nuts," he said. "He's made a billion dollars off my work over the last 50 years and the motherfucker just came over and introduced himself tonight. That cheery little thing. You know he won't do any contract work, he won't clean anything up, he won't get anything done. "This whole industry f---ing sucks and this little get-together you guys have here is like a private boys' club and it's a bunch of jackasses and jerks and f---ing gangsters and crooks who've f---ing stolen everything from a f---ing artist. Telling the artist to come out here and tap dance." Read the full interview here. (Billboard)

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan join their Marvel co-stars as Jimmy Kimmel airs a presidential election version of the film's trailer and Evans talks inviting the New England Patriots to the premiere. According to Jimmy Kimmel, there are some interesting parallels between this presidential election and the movie Captain America: Civil War. "Both of them feature former friends who are now enemies, they both feature powerful men and women who are also cartoon characters, and there's also a lot of interest in both," the late-night host said on Monday night's episode, introducing an election edition of the Marvel film's trailer. Simply titled America: Civil War, the spoof teaser features Donald Trump as Iron Man, Bernie Sanders as Captain America, Hillary Clinton as Black Widow and Ben Carson as Spider-Man. The episode welcomed Civil War actors Chris Evans (who revealed that he invited multiple members of the New England Patriots to the Tuesday night movie premiere), Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd and Anthony Mackie to chat about behind-the-scenes camaraderie and debut a couple clips from the ensemble flick. Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6, kicking off the summer movie season. (Hollywood Reporter)

Japan Box Office: 'Batman v. Superman' Climbs to Second on Third Weekend. 'Assassination Classroom: Graduation' remained on top, while anime 'Doraemon' and 'Batman v. Superman' swapped the No. 2 and 3 spots from last weekend. Assassination Classroom: Graduation, Doraemon and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice occupied the top three spots at Japan's weekend box office for the third consecutive weekend, with Marvel's heroes and the local "cat-type robot" changing places at No. 2 and 3. Live-action manga adaptation Assassination Classroom, took another $1.9 million (¥211 million) over the weekend to stay on top of the rankings. Batman v. Superman pulled in $1.3 million (¥146 million) from 90,000 admissions on Saturday and Sunday to take its total to $12.8 million. Higher prices for 3D and 4DX screenings pushed its weekend take above Doraemon's. Doraemon, the latest installment in the massively successful manga, TV anime and big-screen franchise, took in another $1.1 million from 97,000 on its sixth weekend in theaters. Local rankings go by admission numbers rather than box office gross, putting Doraemon above Batman v. Superman and leaving the top three unchanged. Room, featuring a best actress Academy Award-winning performance by Brie Larson, opened on a limited release 76 screens from distributor Gaga, but managed to take $530,000 from 38,000 admissions to put it at No. 8 on the rankings, the only new entry this week. Best picture and screenplay Academy Award-winner Spotlight opens on Friday. (Hollywood Reporter)

CinemaCon: Paramount Places Bets on Denzel Washington's 'Fences,' Brad Pitt's 'Allied'. The studio opened the annual convention for theater owners with a look at its upcoming slate, and dated Meryl Streep's 'Florence Foster Jenkins.' Paramount kicked off CinemaCon, the National Association of Theatre Owners' (NATO) annual convention with its slate presentation Monday night, giving exhibitors a sneak peek at the studio's upcoming films. The studio dated Florence Foster Jenkins with Meryl Streep, for August 12, 2016, and renamed Robert Zemeckis' Allied, which was previously called Five Seconds of Silence, opening November 23. Paramount also officially announced that the studio is making Denzel Washington's next directorial project Fences, in which he'll star with Viola Davis. Both actors are Tony Award-winners for their performances in the play's 2010 Broadway revival. Scott Rudin and Todd Black are producing Fences, which is an adaptation of August Wilson's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Wilson is adapting his own play, which follows a one-time promising baseball player who works as a Pittsburgh garbage collector, for the big screen. The first footage from Florence Foster Jenkins, starring Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, also debuted. The film stars Streep as a New York heiress who became an opera singer, but was notoriously bad at singing. Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, hosted the presentation, which included new footage from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel, sci-fi film Story of Your Life starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, and Zemeckis' Allied, starring Brad Pitt and Marrion Cotillard. Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams took the stage to present Denis Villeneuve's Story of Your Life, with Renner praising Adams' work on the movie. "There's not enough cinema in Hollywood where we have a strong female, badass lead," he said. The new trailer showed Adams as a linguist who is recruited to help speak to aliens who have invaded Earth. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows stars Will Arnett and Megan Fox came out onto the stage to present a new trailer for the film, which opens on June 3. They did a bit where Arnett had pizza delivered to the stage, and then gave it back to an unsuspecting attendee. Jack Huston, the star of Paramount and MGM's Ben-Hur remake, took the stage to talk about the film, which hits theaters in August. The studio announced that the film has shifted from August 12, 2016 to August 19. The studio also showed new trailers from Jack Reacher film (starring Tom Cruise) and horror film The Rings. The presentation wrapped up with J. J. Abrams receiving the Showman of the Year award. Simon Pegg introduced his Star Trek director. "We have to adapt and its going to be required all of us," he told the crowd of theater owners about the changing moviegoing landscape. "In my opinion, it's simple: there is nothing better than going to the movies and there never will be." CinemaCon runs April 11-14 in Las Vegas. (Hollywood Reporter)

Drew Barrymore Is Making a Rare TV Appearance on This Bravo Show. Drew Barrymore is moving to the Upper East Side -- on Bravo, at least. The actress will guest star in the upcoming second season of the network's scripted comedy Odd Mom Out -- which was created by Jill Kargman, a.k.a. the actress' IRL sister-in-law. Kargman, who happens to be the older sister of Barrymore's estranged husband Will Kopelman, announced the news at a season two premiere event. "We really hit our stride," she told the crowd. "We're very proud of it." Kargman plays a satirical version of herself, a mom trying to survive in the social hierarchy of New York City's UES alongside her husband, Andy. According to Bravo, Barrymore will guest star as Jill's "irreverent" neighbor Meredith, who survives a historic blizzard with Jill and Andy. The Blended actress voiced a character on Family Guy for eight years and starred in the critically acclaimed HBO movie Grey Gardens, but she hasn't acted on a regular TV series since the short-lived 1992 soap 2000 Malibu Road. Barrymore and Kopelman announced their split on April 2, saying in a statement, "Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family." Another Odd Mom Out guest star in season two? Oh, just Blythe Danner, who will play Jill's mom, Sarah Kaplan. Season two will see Jill return to work at a fashion magazine, where she'll butt heads with her former boss-slash-nemesis. Meanwhile, Andy will take time off to care for their kids, and he'll quickly realize that stay-at-home parenting is harder than he thought. Odd Mom Out's second season premieres June 20 on Bravo.

These 3 New Game of Thrones Sneak Peeks Have Us Worried For Some of Our Favorites. Winter may be coming, but spring is here, and that means a new season of Game of Thrones is just around the corner. We've all been dying for the smallest glimpse at what season six may bring, grasping to the splittest of seconds that flash across our screen in the few trailers that have been released so far. Now, there are actual clips, allowing us to check in with a few of our Westeros faves. (No, Jon Snow is not among them. Did you really think he would be?) In the first clip from the premiere episode, Cersei (Lena Headey) has learned of the death of her beloved daughter, Myrcella, at the end of last season, and she finds herself reminiscing about the way bodies decompose. It's so very gross, so very Cersei, and so very sad. However much we've hated this woman over the years, watching her and her brother-lover, Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), deal with the loss of their child is no fun at all. In the second clip, from a later episode, we join Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and her Dothraki kidnappers as they arrive at a city, and Dany is welcomed "home." We kind of wonder if that welcome is actually sincere, given the way she arrived and fact that only moments earlier, she was told to "move your ass," but we'll have to wait to find out just what is in store for the Khaleesi. In the third clip, once again from the premiere, titled "The Red Woman," Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Theon (Alfie Allen) are on the run, presumably just after they escaped from Winterfell in the season five finale. Dogs and voices can be heard behind them, so clearly they are being chased by Ramsay's (Iwan Rheon) men, but things don't look so good for them when they arrive at an icy river with no boat in sight. Game of Thrones returns Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. on HBO. (Eonline)

Teen Wolf Shocker: Arden Cho Is Leaving the Show Ahead of Season 6. A major cast change is happening ahead of Teen Wolf's upcoming sixth season: Star Arden Cho, who plays kitsune Kira Yukimura, is leaving the MTV show. The actress announced the news in a vlog expressing her love for the character and her time on the show. "I just want to say I love Kira Yukimura so much," she says in the video. "I love the Yukimura family. I loved my experience on Teen Wolf. I love the cast and crew, it's been an amazing three and a half years. It's gone by so fast. But unfortunately, it looks like we are wrapped up with Kira's storyline and she won't be coming back for season six." In the season five finale, Kira had headed to the desert to get help controlling her kitsune powers after helping her friends defeat the beast of Gevaudan. Although Cho has said in interviews that she was excited for season six, those took place before she found out her character would not return, she reveals. "I think sometimes on a show where there are so many characters there isn't always room for everyone and everyone's storylines, so I guess that was it. I do wish we would've developed a little bit more of her powers and the skinwalkers and just there would've been more of like an epic ending," she admits, but leaves the door open for a return. "You never know with Teen Wolf! People might come back. It is what it is." Way back in season three, creator Jeff Davis told E! News that he hoped Kira's introduction would lead to a spinoff. "I shouldn't say this because who knows if there would be a chance of it, I wanted to do it as a spinoff, as its own show," he says. "Partly because I wanted to try doing a female character, our version of a Buffy, but the Kitsune myth is just such a good myth." Will you miss Kira? At the time, Cho told us that she wouldn't hesitate to say yes to a spinoff about Kira. "That would be amazing. I really, really appreciate that Jeff has made Kira really strong, and you know, she's cool," she said. "She's awesome." (Eonline)

Gavin Polone says he's entitled to profits from the Netflix revival. A Gilmore Girls producer says he's being shut out of profits from the series revival and is suing for at least $195,000 in damages, according to a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court. City News Service first reported Gavin Polone filed a breach of contract lawsuit on Friday against Warner Bros. Television, claiming he helped develop the series and his contract entitled him to be paid for each original episode of the show. The complaint says the agreement entitled Polone to receive $32,500 for each episode produced after 2003, plus a percentage of the show's modified adjusted gross and an executive producer credit. After Netflix announced it would release four new 90-minute episodes, Polone approached Warner Bros. for his share, but according to the lawsuit the company refused. The complaint says Warners is "making the absurd claim that the Subsequent Episodes are derivative works based on the television series" and the studio doesn't consider the reboot a television series because it's being produced for Netflix, not a broadcast network. Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel and most of the hit show's fan favorites are back for the revival. Melissa McCarthy, who has had huge big-screen success since the show ended in 2007, announced last week that she would be returning to Stars Hollow for the reboot. Polone, a producer-director, is an occasional contributing writer for The Hollywood Reporter. He is being repped by Eric George and Elena Nutenko of Browne George Ross, who were unavailable for comment. Warner Bros. did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Hollywood Reporter)


Christine Wolf, ex-wife of the TV producer, claimed she was defrauded in their 2003 divorce settlement, but a judge cancels this series. After more than a dozen years, the legal procedural arising from the divorce between Law & Order series creator Dick Wolf and second wife Christine Wolf has resulted in what looks to be a conclusion. The two split in 2003 just before Wolf began new negotiations with NBC on the series. Thanks to a settlement agreement, she walked away with $17.5 million in cash, annual spousal support of as much as $2 million for eight years, the couple's Maine home and more. But she alleged that didn't know about a looming NBC deal that would take Wolf's company from a deficit to holding assets potentially worth more than a billion dollars. In 2004, Christine Wolf first tried to argue that her consent on a divorce settlement was procured by fraud, and after a Santa Barbara judge ruled and appeals courts affirmed that she was having nothing more than "buyer's remorse," she shifted her sights to financial advisers who she accused of committing professional negligence. The targets of her latest lawsuit were the couple's late business manager, Bob Philpott, as well as the Canadian financial-services firm Assante Corp. (later known as Loring Ward), run by Martin Weinberg, which was affiliated with Philpott's own L.A.-based firm. She alleged that they were hoping to win her soon-to-be-ex's ongoing business, and so when it was agreed that the dispute would go into mediation, they weren't neutral and had failed to disclose the value of the Wolfs' community assets. Last year, L.A. Superior Court Judge Holly Kendig ruled that Christine had approved the financial advisers, that evidence of their bias was based largely on speculation, and as such, she couldn't get past a "mediation privilege" that shielded documents and communications being sought from the 2003 split. In October, the California Supreme Court denied her petition to review the circumstances that must exist for a person to be truly "neutral" and thus capable of conducting a fair mediation. Having struck out in her discovery demands, Christine Wolf now experiences a summary judgment blow. Christine Wolf had hoped to present evidence and arguments that the events leading up to the mediation and the mediation itself was unfair to her, but Kendig rules that confidentiality would hamper the defense. But for mediation privilege, the defendants say they would introduce evidence that her original divorce attorney advised that she retain a forensic accountant to value Wolf's company and that she decided to settle to avoid protracted litigation. "Since the Defendants would precluded from introducing any evidence to rebut the claim, it would be fundamentally unfair to allow the action to proceed against them," states the judge in the opinion, which adds that litigation privilege protects the actions of the financial advisors too. As a result, Philpott, Weinberg, and their companies prevail. They were represented by Richard Kendall at Kendall Brill & Kelly, who says, "It is gratifying, after 12 years of litigation, that the Court's detailed and thorough ruling will give Mr. Philpott's family some relief from litigation."
