Marc Anthony Reveals His Biggest Regret. Marc Anthony just revealed that you can be a Grammy winner, own several successful businesses, sell more than 12 million albums worldwide, have a beautiful family and still have regrets. In a new interview, Marc admitted that if he had to do it all over again, he would do a few things differently with regard to his family life. "The one regret would be that what I chose to do took so much of my time. What I would have done to have been a stay at home dad, and, you know, witnessed every second of everything," Anthony told CBS News' Tracy Smith. "I would have loved that. Didn't work out that way. "So it's the one thing that just tugs at me going and -- that's the biggest sacrifice. And you sort of -- you sorta -- start to wonder was it all worth it. Was it worth it? You know, on that level." Anthony is the father of five children, including twins with Jennifer Lopez. More recently, though, Anthony does seem to be taking that time to be more of a hands-on dad and spend quality time with his children. He and Lopez announced their separation in 2011, but they remain friendly and come together to celebrate milestones in their twins' lives, most recently being Max and Emme's 7th birthday. In the interview, which airs May 1 on CBS Sunday Morning, the Vivir Mi Vida singer recounts his childhood, growing up one of eight kids in New York City's Spanish Harlem and how he dreamed about getting out of the neighborhood. "To my mom, I was a pain in the ass. To my dad, I was the light of his eyes. And to me, I was awkward. I weighed two pounds," Anthony told Smith. Anthony also recalled his father's support, and his teasing, which inspired the international Latin superstar to become the Marc Anthony we all know today. "My dad told me early on, he said, 'Son, we're both ugly,'" the 47-year-old singer has said. "I swear to God, he says it to this day. And he goes, 'You work on your personality. It builds character.'" Well, consider Anthony's awkward stage behind him. Though he may question whether all the time spent away from his family was worth it, Anthony definitely made his way out of the old neighborhood, building an empire that includes a piece of the Miami Dolphins and a clothing line at Kohl's. Marc has worked with some of the biggest talents in the Latin music world, and has recently expanded his expertise to launch his own company, Magnus Media, to empower both established and up-and-coming Latino artists. "Magnus is a company that is long overdue," said Anthony in a statement. "It's simple, really. Latino artists are among some of the world's biggest brands. Unfortunately though, many of my colleagues, and new artists coming up, too, haven't had the support to turn that influence into long-term businesses that build value. We're going to change the game, and have a lot of fun doing it." (Eonline)

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth's Sister-in-Law Elsa Pataky Get Matching Tattoos. This is truly a welcome to the family... Miley Cyrus and fiance Liam Hemsworth's sister-in-law Elsa Pataky, wife of Chris Hemsworth, and two more girlfriends have gotten matching tattoos. Australian tattoo artist Lauren Winzer posted on her Instagram page Saturday a photo of the four women sporting an identical, small wave illustration drawn by surf champion Kelly Slater. "When girls night starts out like this...Thank you @laurenwinzer for the new ink! And the boo @kellyslater for the scribble," one of the friends, Kalani Miller, wrote on her Instagram page. Miley and Elsa had had lunch together with girlfriends in Los Angeles earlier this month. Miley and Liam have recently been vacationing together with his family in his native Australia. Earlier this week, the two were photographed walking hand-in-hand in Byron Bay. Kelly and Chris had gone surfing together there earlier this week, while Liam filmed them riding the waves. Miley and Liam also sport matching tattoos. In 2012, months after announcing their engagement, they debuted their new ink, quotes from speech former President Theodore Roosevelt gave in France in 1910. Liam's tattoo reads, "if he fails, at least...fails while daring greatly," omitting a "he," while Miley's continues the sentence, reading, "so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." The two broke up in 2013 and rekindled their romance earlier this year. Miley and Liam partied with Chris and Elsa at the Falls Music Festival in Byron Bay and were seen "cuddling and kissing." Sources later told E! News the two had gotten re-engaged. Miley has been seen wearing her engagement ring over the past few months, including during her time in Australia. Cyrus drew attention earlier this week over a different new tattoo -- an illustration she said was of the plant Jupiter, which many fans believe is really Saturn, given its thicker rings. (Eonline)

The gloves are off ... and Michael Strahan got that message loud and clear when Kelly Ripa dropped an unscripted jab at him over divorce, TMZ has learned. Sources connected to production tell us Ripa's intro to a segment about divorced couples was a total shock to Strahan. If you missed it -- Kelly innocently turned to her co-host and said, "So, you've gotten divorced ..." We're told the look of shock on his face was 100% authentic. Of course, both Kelly and Michael knew they were doing the segment, but we're told he had NO IDEA she was going to raise his divorce as part of it. If it looks like a cheap shot, that's exactly how Michael and others on set took it ... according to our sources. Strahan played it off on the air this time, but these last 2 weeks -- before he jumps to 'GMA' full-time -- are gonna get interesting. (TMZ)

Prince's family has a guardian angel ... who goes by the name George Lopez, because we've learned the comedian has fronted money to the family the singer left behind. Turns out ... George was tight with Prince, and he learned all of the assets in the estate have been frozen until a judge determines how much the administrator can give family members for living expenses. Prince was generous with his family, giving them money and even homes during his life. Some of the singer's siblings are now cash strapped because they've been temporarily cut off, and we've learned George has advanced them $20k to cover living and travel expenses and that figure could go up. We're told George did it all anonymously ... not wanting any fanfare or adulation. Good job, Lopez. (TMZ)

Prince was able to get his supply of prescription drugs from more than one doctor ... and at least one of them was a "personal friend" of Prince ... this according to members of the singer's family. TMZ broke the story ... Prince developed an addiction to Percocet sometime before his hip surgery in 2010, and almost died from an overdose 6 days before his death. What's significant ... Percocet is a controlled substance, and a single doctor who prescribes an excessive number of pills will be flagged by state and federal authorities. As a result, as in Michael Jackson's case, someone addicted to a drug who needs more than the medically necessary amount will doctor shop. As we reported, Prince went to a local Walgreens pharmacy 4 times in the week he died to fill prescriptions. Our sources say authorities are on the hunt for the various doctors who prescribed and pharmacies that filled Prince's prescriptions. We're told authorities are also interested in possible aliases the singer might have used. As for at least one of the doctors being friends with Prince, it may have shades of Michael Jackson. In Jackson's case, a number of doctors crossed the line by prescribing drugs that were not medically necessary, in order to ingratiate themselves with the singer. (TMZ)

Authorities descended on a Walgreens near Paisley Park and served a search warrant on the pharmacy, TMZ has learned, looking for a prescription paper trail that could unravel the cause of Prince's death. It's the same drug store chain where Prince made 4 Rx runs in the week leading up to his death. We're told investigators made their move Thursday. Once inside, they beelined it for the pharmacy and spent several hours combing through records. As we reported, authorities are especially interested in Percocet ... the drug that triggered a near-fatal OD 6 days before Prince's death. They're also looking for other prescriptions in Prince's name or identifiable aliases. We're told investigators are also targeting other pharmacies and doctors who may have helped Prince procure meds. (TMZ)

The father of Scientology leader David Miscavige appeared on 20/20 Friday night as a victim of his son's wrath, but sources connected with the Church say his dad is the real bad guy. Church sources tout this pic of Ronald Miscavige in a Nazi uniform, taken a few years back. They also point to several letters sent to a publisher of a book Ronald wrote about his time in Scientology, warning them Ronald was a racist who was not afraid to hurl the n-word. One of the musicians claims one of Ronald's favorite lines was to sing and chant, "There is a n***** in the alley with a hard-on, spread the lard on, rub it in." They say he's sing it to the tune of the National Emblem March. A rep for the church tells TMZ "The behavior exhibited in this photo and described in the letters is an anathema to David Miscavige and was what compelled him to try to find a way to keep his father in check" The rep says David has now disowned his dad. Ronald has said for several years ... when he quit the Church they hired private investigators to keep tabs on him. A church attorney said it hired the guys, not David ... and didn't even tell him. We tried reaching Ronald for comment, but didn't get a response. (TMZ)

Kim Richards Appears in Court to Get Arrest Warrant Recalled. A judge on Kim Richards' Target shoplifting case issued an arrest warrant on April 27 because she failed to submit records of her AA classes, community service and progress. But the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who was represented by Troy Slaten, appeared in court Friday to answer the call, so the warrant was recalled, a spokesperson for the Van Nuys court tells E! News. Richards was arrested for shoplifting $600 worth of merchandise from a Target in the San Fernando Valley. She spent one night in jail and was released on $5,000 bail, but it wasn't her first run in with the law. Last year the reality TV star was also arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel after being found slurring her words and reeking of alcohol. She was arrested and charged with one count of public intoxication, one count of resisting, obstructing, delaying a peace officer or EMT, and one count of battery upon a peace officer. The reality TV star's sobriety has come into question multiple times, especially after she was arrested for shoplifting $600 worth of merchandise from a Target several months after the Beverly Hills Hotel incident. She spent one night in jail before being released on $5,000 bail and was briefly hospitalized. In March, Richards opened up about her recovery efforts on Watch What Happens Live. "I'm in recovery and I've decided that, you know, the last time I shared my recovery with the world, that it became no longer mine. It was the public's," she explained. "This time in my recovery, I've decided to keep it for myself. I do share it with my children, so that their worries are... that they don't have any worries. That they know I keep them up to date on what I'm doing in my recovery. But for the public, I've decided that it's really not their business." It has been a rough year for Richards, who lost her ex-husband Monty Brinson to cancer. She spoke candidly about how she didn't know how she'd cope with his death. "I wasn't really sure how I would be. I was a little nervous myself. But... our family and I we're all sticking very close together and I know he's an angel over us." (Eonline)

Prince passed up at least 8 pharmacies close to Paisley Park on his way to pick up prescription pills hours before his death ... and it could all have been to hide a paper trail of multiple prescriptions. As TMZ reported ... Prince visited Walgreens chain drugstores 4 times in the week leading up to his death. However, the location the singer visited the night before his death was 6 miles from home. An odd choice considering there were several other pharmacies located just over a mile from his house. Although it's unclear exactly why Prince traveled so far ... family members tell TMZ they were worried the singer was using multiple doctors and aliases. Most pharmacies will throw up a red flag if a patient visits too often ... so by visiting multiple locations in his area, the singer could have flown under the radar. In fact, the Walgreens Prince was photographed at the night before his death is the same one that's 6 miles away in Minnetonka. (TMZ)

Detectives in Chyna's death are dealing with a curve ball -- the ex WWE superstar had a knack for mixing up prescription pills, and it's making it hard to figure out what she took before she died. Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ detectives discovered several full prescription pill bottles near Chyna's body ... many of which contained multiple meds. We're told there were at least 4 different types of pills, plus she also mixed vitamins in the bottles. As TMZ reported, Chyna's manager worried she had a problem with Ambien and Valium, but it appears she was taking more than just that. Our sources say the mixing means investigators will have to wait until the toxicology report is complete to figure out what she ingested. (TMZ)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Kate Middleton Is the Picture of Country Chic in British Vogue Cover Photo Shoot. Kate Middleton is the picture of country chic in new photographic portraits released Saturday. The photographic portraits are to be displayed as part of the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery and are also featured as part of a wider shoot for British Vogue's centenary June 2016 issue, which will hit newsstands on May 5. Kate is pictured in her jacket, blouse and hat in a color photos on the cover. This marks the first magazine shoot she has ever consented to. The images show her wearing casual clothes in the countryside in Norfolk, where she and husband Prince William maintain 10-bedroom country home, Anmer Hall, in addition to their lavish apartment at Kensington Palace in London. Kate leans on a wooden fence while wearing a red and black striped sweater and black pants in one photo. The other is a black and white close-up that shows the Duchess of Cambridge wearing a black hat, white blouse and brown jacket. She is set to visit the National Portrait Gallery, of which she has been a royal patron since 2012, on Wednesday. "Since 1916, Vogue has been a leading champion of British portraiture," a spokesperson for the Duchess of Cambridge said in a statement to E! News. "The Duchess was delighted to play a part in celebrating the centenary of an institution that has given a platform to some of the most renowned photographers in this country's history. She is incredibly grateful to the team at Vogue and at the National Portrait Gallery for asking her to take part." Photographer Josh Olins shot the portraits. "Josh has captured the Duchess exactly as she is -- full of life, with a great sense of humor, thoughtful and intelligent, and in fact, very beautiful," Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, said in a statement to E! News. "Not only do they reflect her love of the countryside, interest in photography and championing of the National Portrait Gallery as our very committed patron, but they also encapsulate what Vogue has always done so brilliantly -- to pair the best photographers with the great personalities of the day, in order to reflect broader shifts in culture and society," he said. "We had fun in making and choosing these images, and I hope that comes across." "The Duchess had never taken part in a photography shoot like this before," Kate's spokesperson added. "She hopes that people appreciate the portraits with the sense of relaxed fun with which they were taken." (Eonline)

Princess Charlotte Looks Like Her Brother Prince George in New Photos. Princess Charlotte is absolutely adorable in four new photos Kensington Palace released Sunday ahead of her first birthday and very much resembles her older brother Prince George. While it's pretty common for siblings to look alike, it's still really cute when it happens. Genetics! Charlotte and George, who will turn 3 in July, share similar facial features (those cheeks!) and look like a mix of parents Kate Middleton and Prince William. However, the royal sister and brother have different hair and eye colors; Charlotte has chestnut brown hair like mom and blue eyes like dad (and uncle Prince Harry, late grandmother Princess Diana, grandfather Prince Charles and great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II), while George has light blond hair like dad and Diana and brown eyes (which appear to come from Kate's side of the family, although the Duchess of Cambridge herself has green-hazel eyes, as does sister Pippa Middleton). Of course, babies' eye colors often change during the first year of their lives. Since Charlotte turns 1 year old Monday, hers more likely to remain the way they are. Both Charlotte and her brother to have begun developing their motor skills around the same age as well. In an official photo released ahead of his own first birthday, George is seen standing up on his own in a pair of striped blue overalls. In one of Kate's four new photos of Charlotte, the little princess stands and pushes a baby walker filled with blocks in the garden of their Norfolk home. (Eonline)

Malia Obama to Attend Harvard University, But Not Right Away. Malia Obama is going to look lovely in crimson next year. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's eldest child is following in her parents' footsteps and will attend Harvard University. However, not right away. After graduating high school this June, the 17-year-old plans to take a gap year and start her studies at Harvard in the fall of 2017, after her father leaves office, the White House said in a statement Sunday, according to The New York Times. Both the president and Michelle attended Harvard Law School. "The President and Mrs. Obama announced today that their daughter Malia will attend Harvard University in the fall of 2017 as a member of the Class of 2021," the statement said. "Malia will take a gap year before beginning school." Harvard University "encourages admitted students to defer enrollment for one year to travel, pursue a special project or activity, work, or spend time in another meaningful way," the college's website states. Michelle graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988 with a Juris doctor degree and the president received the same degree there in 1991. The two met and fell in love while working in a law firm in Chicago. They wed in 1992. Before Harvard, the president was a student at Occidental College in Los Angeles between 1979 and 1981, after which he transferred to Columbia University, where he majored in political science with a major in international relations. He received his B.A. in 1983. Michelle got her undergraduate degree in sociology, with a minor in African-American studies, at Princeton University in 1985. It is unclear what Malia will major in. In 2012, Michelle told People her daughter had "expressed some interest in filmmaking," adding that "just like her father, she is an avid reader, and she enjoys movies." In 2014, Malia spent a day working as a production assistant on the Los Angeles set of Halle Berry's TV series Extant. Harvard does not offer an undergraduate film degree but rather a concentration in Visual and Environmental Studies, which includes film courses. The department also offers a graduate program in Film and Visual Studies leading to a PhD. Malia had previously toured Harvard, Columbia, Princeton and three more of the eight Ivy League Schools -- Brown, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale. She also visited Stanford, the University of California, Berkeley, New York University, Tufts, Barnard and Wesleyan, The New York Times reported. "One piece of advice that I've given her is not to stress too much about having to get into one particular college," the president had said about Malia last year, while speaking in Des Moines, according to the newspaper. "Just because it's not some name-brand, famous, fancy school doesn't mean that you're not going to get a great education there." He also said his second piece of advice to his daughter was to "keep your grades up until you get in, and after that, make sure you pass." (Eonline)

You Can Now Get Married in Front of Cinderella's Castle and the Princess Perks Are Insane. According to USA Today, die hard Disney couples can now get married in front of Cinderella's Castle at Disney World Florida. Having the blue and white towers as the backdrop to your wedding is enchanting enough, but the perks really seal the magical deal. Grooms will roll up to the ceremony, located in a gorgeous garden facing the castle, in a "vintage jitney." As for the bride? We're pretty sure you already know where this is going. Your future Mrs. will arrive in the princesses. Flippin'. Carriage. BYE. If you thought that was it, you have a lot to learn about Disney World. "Royal coachmen" are by your side as you trot into Magic Kingdom's East Plaza Garden. Literal trumpeters welcome you as you arrive at your ceremony. We can't. The possible downsides? Weddings are only held at 9:30 a.m. and the park is open during your ceremony. If you're more of a private couple, you may not appreciate screaming children in Mickey ears peeping in on your big day. At least your wedding won't take place at midnight, saving you from the whole carriage-to-pumpkin fiasco. Disney is famous for holding fairy tale weddings already, which start at $2,500. Expect a Magic Kingdom ceremony to set you back at least $75,000, however. For the Disney couple, we're willing to bet that's a nonissue. (Eonline)

Hope Solo was right there at the White House Correspondents dinner, yukking it up as she watched the President who dissed her last year. You may recall, the Prez invited Hope's team, which won the World Cup in 2015, for a reception. During the ceremony, POTUS called out Hope's teammates for recognition but passed over her. Hope has had her problems ... among them criminal charges for allegedly beating up her half-sister and nephew during a drunken rage back in 2014 ... something she denies. On the upside, she looked good. (TMZ)

Brooklyn Decker "Livid" and "Spiraling" After Missing Flight to Pump Breast Milk. Airlines can do no right. Brooklyn Decker is the latest person to vent frustrations about life at the airport (hint: it's always miserable), but she's especially angry because she missed her flight after already being on it! After an initial delay, Decker and the other passengers finally boarded only to be told they could de-plane because of a mechanical error. Decker got off the plane and headed straight to the bathroom so she could pump breast milk. When she returned, the gate was closed and she had missed her flight. "2 mechanical delays. Told we could de-plane. I did. Pumped in the bathroom. Returned 15 min later. Flight closed. Deeeeep breaths," she tweeted. "WHO LETS PASSENGERS OFF, THEN CLOSES THE GATE SHORTLY AFTER?!? *GULPS WINE* MISSES BABY *SOBS*" The Grace and Frankie actress welcomed her first child Hank with husband Andy Roddick in October. Understandably upset, Decker revealed this was the first time leaving her son, which only added to her frustrations. She continued to vent on the social media platform, baffled by the fact that she and everyone else were told they could de-plane only to be whisked back on the flight in the 15 minutes she was gone. "Me: run to pump because we're already delayed almost 2 hours," she continued in her spree. "I pump in bathroom. Return to gate. Plane is there.. 'Sorry. Gates closed'" Eventually Decker's rant took a slightly comical turn after she began drinking wine to help cope with her emotions. "I don't know why I'm sharing all of this. I'm just livid. And tweeting. Whilst drinking," she wrote. Once she calmed down, she began to muse about the tough lives women lead having to multitask all the time. "As women and as moms we try to do it all but it sure ain't easy," she tweeted, adding, "Crazy thing is I got off to pump thinking, 'I don't want to offend the guy next to me.' But why? He probably sucked a boob too. #winemusings." In vino veritas, as they say. (Eonline)

Adam Levine Reveals Behati Prinsloo's "Random" Pregnancy Craving. Adam Levine thinks Behati Prinsloo's pregnancy craving is "random," but it's actually not that uncommon. The Maroon 5 frontman and Voice coach, who said he's "super excited" to become a first-time father, stopped by NBC's The Tonight Show Thursday and opened up about his wife's diet. "She's eating a lot of watermelon. A lot of watermelon," he told Jimmy Fallon. "Because, you know, they get random cravings for stuff and it's just like, so much watermelon!" While the fruit is "delicious," Prinsloo is also big into ice cream at the moment. In a show of solidarity, her husband has been eating for two, too. "I eat a lot of stuff," Levine said. "A lot of stuff." Levine and Prinsloo have long wanted to become parents. "It's always been part of the plan," he said. Earlier his week, Levine told E! News' Sibley Scoles that he will shower Prinsloo with love and attention this Mother's Day -- even though "the baby's not out" yet. "It's awesome. God, I'm going to be a dad. S--t. I'm excited," he said. "I'm going to be a f--king dad. S--t. I'm going to spoil her." As E! News exclusively reported, Levine and Prinsloo are expecting a girl. Back on The Tonight Show, Levine also discussed The Voice's newest coaches, Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys, as well as his friendly rival and longtime companion, Blake Shelton. "I'm super excited. I can't wait. It's going to be great, and we've had such great people on the show," he said, referring to coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Shakira, Gwen Stefani, Usher and Pharrell Williams. "Blake and I have been there forever -- for 100,000 years it seems like." As for Shelton, he joked, "I don't like him at all. Actually, it's pretty alarming how little in common I have with Blake Shelton." With Cyrus and Keys about to join the mix, "It's going to be good to have some more feminine energy on the show. Two girls, two boys -- it's going to be great." (Eonline)

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are definitely back on. The couple were spotted with Hemsworth's parents Craig and Leonie for lunch in Byron Bay, Australia on Thursday. Cyrus, 23, dressed casually in a white T-shirt by brand Keep It Bright which she paired with denim shorts. Hemsworth, 26, kept a low-profile wearing a white shirt, board shorts, navy cap and black sunglasses. Although the pair did not show any signs of PDA, the singer was wearing the 3.5 carat engagement ring she had received before they split in 2013. Later that same day, Cyrus was pictured shopping at a local boutique with Hemsworth's sister-in-law Elsa Pataky. In late March, Hemsworth dispelled rumors that he and Cyrus were ready to walk down the aisle. "I am not engaged, no," the Independence Day actor told Australia's TV Week in an interview. While the two are not tying the knot anytime soon, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Cyrus and Hemsworth "are back together and very happy." (People)

Harmony in the Kardashian family once again! Khloe Kardashian has become the latest member of the famous reality TV family to make up with Rob Kardashian after a fallout in the wake of the announcement of his relationship with Blac Chyna. The 31-year-old reality star shared evidence of a reconciliation on Thursday, April 28, when she Snapchatted a photograph of herself and her brother holding hands together. As Us Weekly reported previously, Rob and Khloe came to blows over his relationship with Chyna earlier this year. A source close to the family previously told Us that she felt "majorly betrayed by Rob after she always stuck up for him," and considered his romance with Chyna a "major blow to the family." But following a reconciliation with Kylie Jenner (whose boyfriend, Tyga, is Chyna's ex and the father of her son, King Cairo), orchestrated by big sis Kim Kardashian, Khloe's stance has evidently chilled. And sources tell Us the entire Kardashian family is now embracing Chyna. "Rob's rehabilitation continues to astound the family," one insider said. "They really believe that it's all Chyna who is responsible for bringing him back." (US Weekly)

Starbucks is shorting cold drink lovers by loading up on ice cubes, and one thirsty Illinois customer's so pissed about it ... she's filed a lawsuit. The issue, according to docs ... is not getting the advertised amount of beverage. For example, a venti is supposed to be 24 ounces, but the suit says more often you get as little as 14 because "large pieces of ice take up more space." It's hardly rocket science, but the slighted customer is seeking damages in excess of $5 million. Starbucks says the lawsuit is absurd because ... "Our customers understand and expect that ice is an essential component of any 'iced' beverage." It says it will gladly remake any beverage for an unsatisfied customer. Starbucks was also sued last month for hot beverages being grossly underfilled. #FirstWorldProblems. (Eonline)

Beyonce Mysteriously Cancels Nashville Concert Days After World Formation Tour Begins. Tennessee fans are going to have to wait a little longer before getting their sip of some live Lemonade. E! News confirms that Beyonce has mysteriously canceled her upcoming Nashville concert, and, if the wording is still lost on you, there was no explanation given as to why. "Following Wednesday's sold out opening night Formation World Tour concert in Miami, promoters Live Nation announced that the Nashville concert previously scheduled for Thursday, May 5 will be rescheduled," Bey's rep tells E! News in a statement. "Details about the rescheduled date will be announced shortly and Nashville tickets holders are advised to retain their tickets which will be honored at the rescheduled event." The rep adds that there are no other changes concerning her tour dates. Queen B returned to the stage Friday night in Tampa, Fla., and resumed her tour with Atlanta on Sunday, North Carolina on Tuesday and so on. According to the world tour's official Twitter page, the concert was "postponed due to stadium construction. During Beyonce's first Formation tour stop, husband Jay Z, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Bey's BFF Michelle Williams were all spotted watching in the front rows. Beyonce had recently dominated social media following the release of her new visual album Lemonade, in which she sings about relationship problems and a cheating lover, spurring renewed attention in past rumors about Jay Z. The two have not confirmed nor denied the reports. At the concert, Beyonce dedicated a performance of her 2008 song "Halo" to her "beautiful husband," saying, "I love you so much." She also stirred up some controversy by offering Formation tour merchandise bearing the slogan "Boycott Beyonce" after the first show in Miami. The interesting move comes more than two months after the singer stirred mixed emotions with a political and racially charged "Formation" music video and a performance of the song at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, which didn't sit well with Miami police. Javier Ortiz, chief of Miami's police union, had urged officers to boycott Beyonce's concert in the city, saying the singer "used this year's Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her anti-police message shows how she does not support law enforcement," according to The Miami New Times. However, a Miami Police Department spokesman said several cops were slated to work the event and the concert was to be "fully staffed." Bey has also denied Ortiz's claims, but did state that she is "against police brutality and injustice." (Eonline)

Calvin Harris Debuts New Song "This Is What You Came For" With Rihanna, Admits He Was "Nervous" About It. Calvin Harris and Rihanna are back with a new collaboration! It has been five years since the EDM DJ and songstress teamed up for "We Found Love," and now they've reunited for a new song titled "This Is What You Came For." Harris released a preview of the sure-to-be hit song Thursday, amping everyone up for what would be a big release Friday. Harris and Bad Gal RiRi have been getting people excited about their music for a little while now, but it came to a peak when the "Work" singer came out onstage during the Scottish stars set at Coachella. Harris' girlfriend, Taylor Swift, fangirled at the performance, which she documented on Instagram. In hindsight, it also became clear that Swift was low-key promoting her boyfriend's new single by wearing a jacket with the track's artwork on the back. Sneaky sneaky! That live performance of "We Found Love," however, was also a big deal for Harris because earlier that day he had previewed his new song with Rihanna for her for the very first time since it was complete. In an interview with Zane Lowe Friday morning, Harris admitted he was feeling jittery about it. "I played it to [Rihanna] for the first time at Coachella. She heard it for the first time two weeks ago," he shared. "It was me, her and her manager in the trailer at Coachella." He continued, "It was the first time anything's happened like that. I was nervous to play it for her. I changed so many bits from when she first heard it." Obviously she loved it! Harris admitted it was "sick" to see "the vibe hitting her and see she was into it." Now that "This Is What You Came For" has been released, we'll be patiently waiting for their next collaboration. Keep them coming, Calvin and Rihanna! (Eonline)

Flo Rida and Jason Derulo Are Excited for the Weekend in "Hello Friday" Music Video. We made it to the weekend, and no one is more excited about it than Flo Rida and Jason Derulo. E! News can exclusively debut the music video for the duo's latest single "Hello Friday," and in it they are pumped for the weekend -- who wouldn't be? The two singers kick of the video by showing footage of people getting fresh haircuts just in time for the weekend. The inscriptions read "hello Friday," so obviously everyone is equally jazzed about getting the party started. Not only are people getting spiffy for their night out, they're also getting inked! One woman has the title tattooed on her back while Derulo and the "My House" performer dance on the beach and boardwalk. It would be a true celebration, however, without a trip to T.G.I. Friday's. "Thank God it's Friday / We love that TGIF, word, yeah," Flo Rida raps as a group of people enjoy happy hour at a T.G.I. FridaysSM restaurant. Throughout the rest of the video women wearing T-shirts with the days of the week written on them dance and stare seductively into the camera while other scenes of people partying on the beach play. "Hello, Friday, I've been waiting for you for a long time / You just save me when my life came tumbling down / And I know you're gonna leave me," Derulo sings, channeling the all-too-real exciting emotions of when Fridays arrive, only to be overtaken by the Sunday Scaries.

Drake Officially Drops Views From the 6: Check Out the Album Everyone Will Be Talking About. It's. About. To go. Down. Drake just released his fourth studio album, Views From the 6, and you better believe that it's going to be packed full of emo lyrics, cryptic references and maybe even a few shout outs to his famous friends (and foes). The 29-year-old's new music was previewed on Beats1Radio on Apple Music and is expected to be available on iTunes later. The Canadian rapper unveiled the track list of the highly anticipated album earlier this week, which features 20 songs (including the previously released "Hotline Bling" and "One Dance"). And earlier, Drake posted a bit more info about Views and just who is behind many of the songs. It turns out Kanye West had his hand in the project -- despite their public diss tracks -- since he is listed as a co-producer on "(U With Me?" alongside Noah "40" Shebib. The album has been in the works now for well over two years, and promotional billboard signs have been popping up in Toronto since early 2015. In February, Shebib spoke to The New York Times about the process has been for Drake and what fans can look forward to. "It's going to be what everybody expects and wants from Drake and from us. A lot of introspection, very vivid. He's discovering new flows, new cadences, new patterns." He added, "I'm trying to find ways to pull more untraditional sounds in, to push the boundaries a little further... It should be special." Just a few days ago, the Grammy winner announced the Summer Sixteen Tour with the help of his pal Future. The two will be traveling for most of the summer around North America and will kick off on July 20 in Austin. They're currently expected to conclude in Vancouver in the middle of September.

The Chainsmokers Reveal Official Video For 'Don't Let Me Down' Feat. Daya. Fresh off their buzzy Coachella debut, The Chainsmokers have dropped the gravity-defying official music video for "Don't Let Me Down" featuring Daya, which has topped multiple Billboard Dance charts since its February release. Directed by Marcus Kuhne and filmed in L.A., the video documents a drive through the woods gone wrong, as The Chainsmokers and Daya face off in an eerie encounter. After the viral rise of their ode to 21st century vanity "#Selfie," The Chainsmokers have seen further chart success with "Roses" featuring ROZES and "Don't Let Me Down," which is poised to sit atop the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs chart for yet another week.

The witch is a symbol of womanhood. Despite villainous Halloween caricatures and pop-culture portrayals of an exiled, old woman, the witch spans across cultures as an emblem against patriarchy. Modern interpretations, as seen in the recently released historical horror flick The Witch or the reimagined fairytale of Snow White and The Huntsman, often see her used as a common horror plot device for when women are naive, lost or going crazy. The witch is a healer, a shaman, a representative of a larger god or goddess on Earth. Enter Beyonce. With her sixth album, Lemonade, she has modeled herself into a witch -- of the healing variety -- during a time when black women are in need of positive reinforcement, deep healing and transformation. In fairytales, women often visit a witch during a time of intense grief following unexpected loss (see Disney staples Snow White, The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty). The witch's job becomes immediately alleviating that pain while warning there's no easy fix. In Lemonade, Beyonce insists we mourn. Haunting images permeate the visual album. The funeral processions and second line parades, the dancing on the coffin, the burning houses, ghost women painted white. (Nigerian-bred, Brooklyn-based artist Laolu Senbanjo helmed the body art, which derive from a spiritual ritual in worship of orishas, the gods in Yoruba religion.) Beyonce resorts to these time-old symbols that black women have used to heal, stretching across West Africa, the Bayou and the Caribbean. She knows her sisters are rarely afforded stages of grief as the famous quotes from Malcolm X's 1962 speech "Who Taught You To Hate Yourselves" in Lemonade support. "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman," says X's voice. "The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman." The camera pans across faces of black women with weary smiles, a spotlight on those who rarely shine. The witch is also seen as malicious because of her close connection to youth. She consumes younger women to remain beautiful. Here, Beyonce's coven is of the young and visionary. Her Parkwood signees Ingrid, Chloe & Halle, as well as actress Amandla Stenberg and singer Zendaya appear in the film. Even little girls are seen prancing around the plantation, where black women of all generations perch on tree branches and grow food. The young teach and breathe new life into Beyonce, creating a cocoon for her rebirth and theirs. Their house is the very safe space she is demanding. In surrounding herself with black women, Beyonce is not excluding others but rather casting a spell for the ones who have been given the most lemons, or hardships. The message: black women are human and deserve to live freely as themselves. The witch can only heal by first bearing witness. The knowledge that people entrust to her (one woman offers, "So how we supposed to lead our children to the future? What do we do? How do we lead them? Love. L-O-V-E, love") becomes the foundation for Bey's power. Throughout the visual album, she works through the latest fashion looks (cornrows to flowing waves and twists as well as a black hoodie to a yellow Roberto Cavalli gown) as seamlessly as the dark themes she presents, an intentional nod to the many ways black women change appearance to survive and fit in. The images serve not as some cheeky marketing ploy, but offer wisdom through universal spirituality and united experience, strengthened by poetry from Somali-British writer Warsan Shire. She's exploring black womanhood with all of us. In the age of #BlackGirlMagic, the lemonade Beyonce is insisting we make is a witch's brew, a potion, a chakra-balancing tea and a glass of water all at once. A concoction used in times of struggle that allows one to feel, exist and also keep what is theirs. Lemonade speaks to pleasure and pain as only a black woman can know them. The nods to popular culture are still focused on the black woman. Twerking is a genuine expression of attitude and joy as seen from tennis star Serena Williams in the unapologetic cut "Sorry." Even somber moments like cameos from Trayvon Martin's mother Sybrina Fulton, Mike Brown's mother Lezley McSpadden and Eric Garner's mom Gwen Carr are a testament to the real-life struggles and resilience of black mothers. Blackness is nothing new to Beyonce's work but Lemonade is a fresh perspective in how she sees and understands it as well as the precise manner in which she communicates it. Her alleged marital strife with Jay Z might be a headline-grabber but her power lies in connecting every woman's past to their present for what will hopefully be a better future. Beyonce is becoming a wise witch -- as we all should -- and retreats further into her haunted house in the woods, knowing that young black girls will come looking for answers, prayer and magic.

Tori Kelly Joins Amy Grant For 'Baby Baby' Remake: To commemorate the 25-year anniversary of the release of her song "Baby Baby," Amy Grant teamed up with Grammy-nominated singer Tori Kelly to record a revamped version of the 1991 song. "Tori is such an incredible vocalist, one of the most effortless singers I have ever heard, and once she starts singing it is like a rocket engine has been strapped on to the song and she takes us all on a ride," Grant told People. "I really think she knocked it out of the park." Producer Dave Garcia merged Kelly's recording with Grant's original vocals to create the new version, available everywhere Friday. (Billboard)

Mary Chapin Carpenter admits that there have been times in the midst of political season, that America feels like it is in the middle of a Saturday Night Live skit. "That's actually happening right now, and that's unfathomable to me," the two-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year tells Billboard. "I don't even know how to respond to it." At the same time, the singer-songwriter admits that she's never tried to shy away from her belief system about the issues, and thinks that it's well within her right to do so. "I think I've often written about how I feel, and what things are important to me. I've never understood those people who are of the phrase 'Shut up and sing.' I've never understood why people would deprive anyone of voicing their feelings or advocating for a cause you believe in-regardless of whatever side you're on. The idea that as a performer or songwriter that I shouldn't espouse my views, I've never understood that." The singer releases her latest studio album, The Things That We Are Made Of, next Friday (May 6). As you might imagine, there are plenty of thought-provoking lyrics included on the disc. Perhaps the most interesting piece of social commentary might be "Oh Rosetta," which was written partly due to today's climate. "I think that's definitely how it feels right now," she allowed. "I think there are pockets of unity, light, and love. But, if you were to travel far away and look down and see it all, there's reasons to feel despair. I've definitely had my days. That song was written on a day where I felt that. It's an imaginary conversation with Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I was thinking about her song 'Up Above My Head,' and I heard music. I heard singing-her beautiful spirit. Why she came into my head that day, I have no idea. But, that's where it came from. I was seeking guidance, I was trying to be comforted. I felt loss and despair. There are days that if I pay too much attention to the news, I still will feel that way. It's as if my armor isn't strong enough that day." Another strong lyric on the album belongs to "The Middle Ages," about the changes one goes through in life-and adapting to life along the way. "That song definitely speaks to the idea of being in search. You don't stay the same. You're always undergoing change. But, sometimes you haven't caught up with the idea that it has happened, and you're trying to recognize yourself in different places and different situations. The song is a look back of a sort to understand how you got to where you are now. Sometimes, those answers don't come quickly-they come over the long term. Then, sometimes they don't come at all. That's what this record does have-what I didn't notice until it was time for me to type up all the lyrics and send them to the office for the liner notes-that I saw that so many of the songs pose questions of how this happens or that happens from deep in the heart. What is important is that the questions are asked-it's not necessarily that you have the answers. It's the idea that these questions serve as markers for where you are in life." Carpenter admitted that she feels that as an artist-and a woman -- she has been in search of something since her 1987 debut album Hometown Girl. She says that while the new album is obviously different, it definitely fits in with her past works. "It feels to me as a songwriter to be an authentic continuation of what I've been doing for a very long time. Of course, every record is different based on the songs, first and foremost, and then who you have helping you. Working with Dave Cobb was a wonderful adventure for me. It was a totally new situation. I threw myself into the unknown with a producer and musicians that I had never worked with before. It was a desire of mine to leave my comfort zone, and I was able to do that." Carpenter had nothing but praise for Cobb and his artistic integrity-and willingness to let his artists be themselves. "I think that's what makes him a wonderful producer. I could probably obsess over a couple of different takes based on wondering if I sang or played guitar as well as I could have- that kind of thing. His whole thing is 'What does it feel like?' Does it feel like the best performance of something versus being simply a technical performance? He always goes for that," she said, though she confessed "I had to really give over to that." Working with Cobb-and an entirely new group of musicians was intimidating for the singer. But, it was exactly what she felt she needed. "It was a little terrifying. But, I wanted to do that. That came, in large part, after I had put out an orchestral record a few years ago called Songs From the Movie. That experience is what I feel like fueled the desire to leave my comfort zone. I learned so much doing that record, and I felt euphoric with the skills I was able to master in singing with the orchestra. It was a wonderful, life-transforming experience. When it came time to do this next record, the idea of not using that same criteria as I had done before was exciting to me. That's where the reward was for me on this album." (Billboard)

Rock Band Muse Signs With UTA. The agency is adding North America to its responsibilities with the band. Muse has signed with UTA for worldwide representation, The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard have exclusively learned. The British rock trio of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard was previously represented by the agency for international territories only. Since forming in 1994 Muse has had eight albums reach the Billboard Top 200 and sold some 20 million albums worldwide. Its most recent, Drones, was the band's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart when it debuted last June. Muse has also earned 16 entries on the Alternative Songs chart, including the No. 1 singles "Uprising" (17 weeks at No. 1), "Madness" (19 weeks) and "Dead Inside" (five weeks). Muse, which has won two Grammy Awards (including best rock album this year) and two Brit Awards, is currently on its Drones World Tour. It recently completed an historic five-night run at the O2 Arena in London, shattering the venue's single-night attendance record, and the band is slated to headline Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. in addition to more than a dozen other summer festivals. "Muse continues to redefine rock and roll with incredible imagination and musicianship," said UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer in a statement. "We are so excited to bring them opportunities across the entertainment landscape so they can continue to thrive as artists." Last August UTA acquired The Agency Group, a large independent music agency with some 2,000 acts and nearly 100 agents, to form UTA Music. The firm has offices in Los Angeles, New York, London, Nashville, Toronto, Miami and Malmo, Sweden. Muse continues to be managed by Q Prime. (Hollywood Reporter)

Maze Runner Production Delayed Indefinitely for Dylan O'Brien's Recovery. Production for The Maze Runner: The Death Cure has been shut down indefinitely, E! News can confirm, after Dylan O'Brien sustained serious injuries in an accident on set on March 18. Fox released the following statement explaining their decision to halt filming, saying, "The resumption of principal photography on Maze Runner: The Death Cure has been further delayed to allow Dylan O'Brien more time to fully recover from his injuries. We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible." The film was initially expected to hit theaters on Feb. 17, 2017, but due to the recent delays it's uncertain whether that release date will remain the same. A WorkSafeBC report shortly after the accident claimed that O'Brien suffered a "concussion, facial fracture and lacerations" after he fell off of his motorcycle during a scene. (O'Brien is not identified in the WorkSafeBC report to protect the privacy of workers.) The report added, "The worker struck his head on the pavement and temporarily lost consciousness." Maze Runner author James Dashner did his best to calm fans down immediately after news of the incident went public. "I just want to let everyone know that yes, Dylan was hurt, but that he's going to be okay. Not life threatening in any way. Production is postponed but certainly not cancelled," he wrote on Twitter. "All that matters now is that Dylan recovers. We love you, Dylan!!!: In early April, O'Brien's Maze Runner co-star Giancarlo Esposito told E! News that he was "healing very well." Esposito continued, "He's one tough cookie." (Eonline)

Hot Docs: 'Dressmaker' Star Sarah Snook to Narrate Censored Doc. The cinema screen will go dark, except for scrolling text and Snook speaking the words of a politician, when 'The Opposition' has its world premiere on May 3. Australian actress Sarah Snook is set to narrate over heavily-censored footage in an Aussie documentary, The Opposition, that will have its world premiere at the Hot Docs festival in Toronto on May 3. Festival organizers on Friday told The Hollywood Reporter that the screen at the Bell Lightbox theater in Toronto will go dark, except for scrolling text and Snook's voice work. The heavy redaction of The Opposition follows the film being slapped with an Australian court injunction sought by former Papua New Guinea politician Carol Kidu. Snook will narrate the words of Kidu, who plays a major role in the film directed by Hollie Fifer and produced by indie Media Stockade. Kidu's image and dialogue will be removed from the film until the Australian court case is settled, including during additional Hot Docs screenings on May 5 and 7. "We look forward to showcasing the redacted version of The Opposition and to the important conversation it will spark about the challenges documentary makers face," Hot Docs programming director Shane Smith said Friday in a statement. Kidu was granted the emergency injunction motion to stop parts of the film that show her from being screened at Hot Docs. The Opposition portrays a David-and-Goliath battle over a squatter settlement that must make way for a hotel and marina development in Papua New Guinea. "The court action seeking in injunct The Opposition raises serious issues of freedom of speech," the film's producer Rebecca Barry said in her own statement. "There are powerful forces who don't want this film to be seen, but we believe that audiences should have the right to make up their own minds," she added. The Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, which got underway Thursday night, continues through May 8 in Toronto. (Hollywood Reporter)

Venice Film Fest Remakes Market With New Co-Production Program. The festival also announced changes to outdoor venue Cinema nel Giardino. For its 73rd edition, the Venice International Film Festival is revamping its market, outdoor venue and awards program. The Venice Film Market, entering its fifth year, will revitalize its offerings with a new Venice Production Bridge, focusing on the presentation of original works in progress to further their development and production. The new initiative will expand on the current offerings of the Biennale College, which chooses and develops three feature length films each year. The bridge program aims to address the growing need for opportunities at international film festivals that will lead to co-productions, more than simply finished works. The focus will also extend beyond films and cover documentaries, television series, web series, and virtual reality. In total, 40 projects will be chosen to be presented at the market. Pascal Diot and Savina Neirotti will oversee the Venice Production Bridge program at the Hotel Excelsior. The market will be held September 1-5. Venice's board also confirmed the new Cinema nel Giardino section, which soft-launched last year. The non-competitive outdoor section features world premieres and high-profile public discussions with the Venice public. No accreditations are necessary to attend. The new cinema space will feature 450 seats. In addition, changes were made to the awards categories, with an additional Silver Lion, the Grand Jury Prize, being added as the second most important prize after the Golden Lion for best film. The Silver Lion for best director award remains. The Horizons section introduced a new award for best screenplay. And the international jury is now capped at seven members. The 73rd Venice International Film Festival takes place August 31-September 10. (Hollywood Reporter)

Open Road's 'Mother's Day' and 3D animated film 'Ratchet & Clank' also hit theater this weekend. Keanu, New Line's kitten comedy, clawed its way to $560,000 Thursday night. The film stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in their first big feature film as a pair of friends who are forced to pretend to be gangsters and join the criminal underworld when a drug dealer kidnaps their kitten.

The Gramercy/Focus project is helmed by Jericca Cleland and Kevin Munroe, follows the anthropomorphic character Ratchet and his robot sidekick as they attempt to save the universe. Disney's The Jungle Book, which has earned $588.2 million worldwide to date, is expected to top the domestic box office for the third week in a row. (Hollywood Reporter)

How Will DreamWorks Animation Boost NBCUniversal's Theme Park Business? The acquisition should give Universal Studios a substantial shot in its arms race with Disney. One of the key areas of NBCUniversal that stands to gain from the company's $3.87 billion acquisition of DreamWorks Animation is its theme park business. Universal runs second to rival Disney in what is currently a two-studio theme park arms race: Combined revenue from the four Universal Studios parks reached just over $1 billion in the first quarter of this year, compared with Disney Parks and Resorts' $4.3 billion in first quarter revenue. DreamWorks Animation's popular franchises (Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon) will give Universal plenty of owned intellectual property to compete with the vast stable of branded attractions at Disney's destinations, which soon will add much-anticipated Star Wars Lands in Anaheim and Orlando. Specifically, DreamWorks Animation's particular genre of IP hews a lot closer to the kind of cultural output that has helped make Disneyland and its sister parks the happiest places on Earth. "Having family-friendly brands is particularly important in driving traffic to these parks, and that's not something that Universal was necessarily known for," a source familiar with these types of deals tells The Hollywood Reporter, pointing to classic Universal Studios attractions based on its monster movies as well as Jaws, Jurassic Park and Psycho. (In recent years, it also added rides based on Despicable Me's Minions, from Universal partner Illumination Entertainment.) And like so many other deals in Hollywood, China looms large as a major factor. "The theme park business is probably growing fastest in Asia, and the Kung Fu Panda property alone provides a good driver for China," the source says. The third installment of that franchise was an U.S.-China co-production and will likely be a prominent presence at Universal Studios Beijing, which is scheduled to open in 2019. (Disney's long-delayed $5.5 billion resort in Shanghai will open this June 16). Universal already licenses several Shrek-related attractions, and its Singapore park features zones dedicated to Shrek and Madagascar. In addition to saving money on those licensing fees, it now can also pocket the fees from pre-existing licensing agreements that DreamWorks Animation receives from a handful of other theme parks around the world. And it will earn royalties on any admissions to and sales originating in areas based on DreamWorks Animation properties, in the same way that Warner Bros. earns royalties from the three Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter (located within, incidentally, the Universal Studios in Orlando, Japan and Hollywood). Increasing its portfolio of owned content also puts Universal Parks & Resorts in a good position to expand to new locations. NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke confirmed in a Feb. 3 earnings call that the company had purchased an additional 475 acres in Orlando but said that it had no "firm plans" for it at the moment. Combined with a deal it struck with Nintendo last year to create attractions based on its most popular video-game properties, Universal now has plenty of brands to populate a whole new theme park.

Fortissimo Films Acquires Dystopic Drama 'The White King'. The film stars newcomer Lorenzo Allchurch as a 12-year-old and supermodel Agyness Deyn as his mother. Fortissimo Films has acquired the global sales rights to the dystopic drama The White King. Adapted from the award-winning novel by Hungarian novelist Gyorgy Dragoman, which has been published in 30 languages, the film is co-directed and co-written by real-life couple Alex Helfrecht and Jorg Titte. The film is produced by Oiffy, Philip Munger and Teun Hilte. Shot in Hungary, the English-language film tells the story of an isolated small country in the not-too-distant future where the autocratic regime brutalizes its youth, incarcerates its citizens at will and spies on its citizens' every move using military might, drones and remote cameras. The film stars newcomer Lorenzo Allchurch as a 12-year-old whose father was imprisoned, and he and his mother, played by model-turned-actress Agyness Deyn, are labeled traitors. Jonathan Pryce, Greta Scacchi, Fiona Shaw, Clare-Hope Ashitey and Olafur Darri Olafsson also star in the film. The White King will be presented to buyers during the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, where exclusive footage will be shown. The film is now in postproduction and is expected to have its world premiere at an international film festival later this year. (Hollywood Reporter)

TV

The Originals Just Killed Off a Major Character -- and Possibly Another One, Too?! Yes. That really just happened on The Originals: not one but TWO of your favorite characters just got killed off. Well, one for sure, and the other...TBD? It's the end of the road for Cami (Leah Pipes), Klaus' psychology student love -- who we saw die in the mid-season finale only to come back as a vampire -- and Davina (Danielle Campbell), your favorite teen witch. Death on The Originals doesn't discriminate based on gender (the show already killed off multiple major male characters this season), but both women do add to the unfortunate female body count on TV as of late. Cami died due to Lucien's poison, with the gang failing to find a way to save her. At least fans were treated to one helluva episode for Klaus and Cami, with the couple exchanging those three little words and going on a real date. (OK, so it was Klaus' imagination, but whatever, we'll take it.) As for Cami's last dying words for Klaus? "All of that anger, that cycle of abuse...you can end it. You have to, so you can be the light for your little girl. For Hope." Chills! And don't even get us started on everyone having their final moment with everyone's favorite bartender/psych major/newbie vamp. As for Davina, she looked pretty darn dead after her boyfriend Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) sucked her dry at the end of the episode. But is anyone else still holding out hope after seeing Davina in the promo for next week's episode?! Come on, she is a NoLa witch, right? Turning out attention back to Cami, turning into a vampire brought out the dark side of the character. "She had these dark impulses that she's been repressing, and being a vampire everything's heightened so those impulses definitely come out more and we'll see that more in her," Pipes told E! News after Cami's big transformation. "But she's still fighting for her beliefs. She's still fighting for the little man. You see her continuing to have very strong morals; she's just more aggressive with her morals now." Essentially, what Pipes means is that "She is not going to put up with assholes." When we spoke with Campbell that same month, she told us that Davina didn't really care about the consequences involved in bringing her witch boyfriend, Kol, back to life (which she eventually did). "I think she's dead set on it," Campbell said at the time. "Because multiple times now she's tried to bring Kol back -- that's all she's wanted for seasons now! There's multiple obstacles that come in her way but then there's always another way to bring him back so I think she's not going to stop until she finally gets that. She has no problem flirting with danger, apparently, either." The Originals airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on the CW. (Eonline)

Netflix Just Renewed One Of Its Comedies. We've got some good news, y'all! Netflix has renewed The Ranch for a second season, star Ashton Kutcher announced on Twitter on Friday. Appearing in a video with his co-stars Danny Masterson and Sam Elliott, who play his brother and father in the family comedy, Kutcher revealed, "Oh yeah, and we got picked up for a second season. Boom!" Set on a ranch on Colorado, The Ranch acts as a That '70s Show reunion for real-life best friends Kutcher and Masterson, and pokes fun at Hollywood. "It's usually Hollywood making fun of Middle America and we wanted to be Middle America making fun of Hollywood," Masterson told E! News of the series. Kutcher continued, "I think the magic thing is it has that same feeling of a couple friends hanging out or a couple brothers hanging out." The first half of season one debuted on April 1, with the next ten episodes set to debut this fall. Season two will premiere in 2017. (Eonline)

Fuller House Season 2 Is Coming Sooner Than You Expected. We see you, Fuller House fans. Netflix finally released its reboot of Full House, and instead of savoring every moment you went ahead and binged the whole thing in an afternoon, leaving you hungry for new episodes. There are no judgments here. This is a safe space. But we would like to inform you that those new episodes are coming sooner than you might've expected. "The fans of the show loved the show. They renewed [it] within, like, a day," Fuller House star and executive producer John Stamos tells E! News. "They actually sort of put a rush on it. I don't think they've announced the dates, but they're going to be a lot sooner than we released last year's." Hear that? More Fuller House! And soon! "Last year we had a very fast prep time to get the scripts and stories done. This year we got ahead of it and I think, out of the 13 I feel like there's already like 10 scripts done," the Grandfathered star says. "The writers are really working hard over there and they're great." And yes, they're already planning a few surprises for fans. "We're just kind of going full steam again. It's a lot easier this year because we know what the spinoff is now. We know the moves of Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin and Andrea [Barber] and those actors. We saw that people like the two guys that DJ [was dating]. We're adding some fun characters and the legacy cast -- that's what they're calling us -- we're going to be spread out through the season," Stamos confirms. "There are a few guest stars that could be surprises for everybody that I'm working on, but as far as the show, we're just in a better place to make a good, solid sitcom now." Surprise guest stars! Could they be of the Olsen variety? Stamos doesn't know anymore, and he's a little sick of the question. "I don't know what to say anymore! I've said it. I can't say it anymore. They're 100 percent welcome and I would love them to do the show this year," he says. But you will see more nods to Full House in season two -- "things that people [recognize]," Stamos says. "Not winks to the camera but tributes to the old one. I was thinking this morning: My room got converted into one of the kids' rooms, [so] the wallpaper should be peeling off and we should see the pink bunnies behind that they covered up, or something. Stuff like that." The Fuller House season two premiere date is TBD. Grandfathered airs Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. on Fox, and the season finale airs May 10. (Eonline)

Gilmore Girls' Yanic Truesdale Is Here to Quell Your Revival Fears. For any devoted Gilmore Girls fan, the euphoria from finding out that Netflix's reboot was very real and very much happening immediately lead to fear: can a sequel possibly live up to the glory of the original? Come on, we all sat through season seven. We know there are two roads this new project can take. Yanic Truesdale, who plays snooty French concierge Michel (and, like pretty much every single other actor who appeared on the series, is reprising the role for Netflix), tells E! News that there were a lot of nerves in the room when the cast got together for the first table read of the as-yet-untitled new series. It had been nine years since the cast played those roles -- would they still come naturally? Would it feel the same? "At the table read, I could tell that everyone was kind of nervous. You have to read that part that you haven't done in so long, but very strangely enough, it's kind of still in you," he says. "Once you start saying those words it all comes back pretty quickly. It's pretty phenomenal." So yes, you can exhale that sigh of relief now. Although know-it-all Michel is a bit of a grump, IRL Truesdale is a sunny, friendly person. A peppier Michel would be terrifying, so it's a good thing Michel came back so naturally. "Strangely enough, I'm not a grumpy guy. Quite the opposite," Truesdale confesses. But he still loves the tough Michel. "You always have to defend your character and understand him from within. When I play Michel, I don't think, 'Oh, I've got to be grumpy today.' It's just that he's someone, like many French people, who is set in his ways and believes his ways are the best. He's just very professional, has very high standards and very few people can meet his standards. So he's just irritated and annoyed at times, but it's for the best of the hotel or for Lorelai's best." Michel is thinking, "it's always for their best, they don't know better! Let me explain it to them," Truesdale says. "[It's] the desire to be right all the time." Walking back into Stars Hollow and seeing the Dragonfly Inn sets again after so many years was odd -- "There's a very strange feeling to it. It's like going back to a house that you grew up in," he says -- but satisfying. "It's exciting because you have another shot that's something that was very meaningful and had impacted a lot of people. It's exciting to have something new to give to the fans!" Plus, because the cast reunited last June in Texas at the ATX TV festival, they got the initial conversations out of the way. "Because it had been a long time since I'd seen a lot of these actors, [ATX] was more like a high school reunion. But then because we had seen each other recently, it just felt nice to see each other again but not feeling that you have to catch up on eight years." Storyline-wise, there wasn't much Truesdale could reveal (we tried!), but we did get a few tidbits: we'll see a little more of Michel's backstory, and he won't really be interacting with any of the new characters. He'll be at the Inn, working. "Michel has always been in his own universe with Lorelai and all that," Truesdale says, "so most of that remains true." The Gilmore Girls reboot is set to hit Netflix later in 2016. (Eonline)

The Punisher Gets a Spinoff Series From Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix. Netflix is getting a little more Marvel-ous -- and deadly. The streaming platform has ordered a Daredevil spinoff series, Marvel's The Punisher starring Jon Bernthal. Bernthal played the role of Frank Castle, the vigilante Punisher, in the second season of Marvel's Daredevil. "We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon's stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from Marvel's Daredevil," Jeph Loeb, executive producer and head of Marvel Television, said in a statement. "Now combined with showrunner Steve Lightfoot's compelling writing, we're thrilled to bring Marvel's The Punisher to Netflix." Lightfoot of Hannibal will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the series about the gun-toting vigilante. "For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn't be more excited to dive into his world," Lightfoot said in a statement. "After watching Jon's performance in Marvel's Daredevil I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own." The Punisher series joins Netflix's growing slate of Marvel shows. Luke Cage is due out this fall, with a second season of Jessica Jones already ordered and Iron Fist in the works. All heroes -- including Daredevil -- will come together in The Defenders miniseries. In Marvel's Daredevil, Bernthal's character clashed with the titular hero, before ending up with a sort of mutual understanding. Punisher saved Daredevil's life at the end of the season. "Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in 'Marvel's Daredevil,' and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot," Cindy Holland, vice president of original content, said in a statement. Bernthal is no stranger to comic book TV shows. He spent two seasons on The Walking Dead as Shane. (Eonline)

Anderson Cooper Says ''It Would Be a Dream'' to Join Kelly Ripa on Live! So, are we going to see Anderson Cooper's handsome face on Live!? The CNN anchor has been one of the names thrown into the mix of possible co-hosts to take the seat next to Kelly Ripa once Michael Strahan leaves to take on Good Morning America full-time, and while appearing on Watch What Happens Live tonight with Andy Cohen, a fan called and put Cooper in the hot seat. The caller asked, "How do you feel about all the drama over at Live with Kelly and Michael, and would you be open to co-hosting?" Anderson responded, "Listen, I love Kelly and I think that show is... Kelly is the heart and soul of that show and it's going to go on and continue to be great and I wish Michael the best in his new endeavor." But when it comes to taking the job, there's one problem -- "Look, I'm very happy at CNN. It would be a dream to work with Kelly, but nobody's offering anything, so... " Ahem. Tuesday marked Kelly's first day back from her hiatus, which she decided to take after hearing Strahan would be leaving at about the same time as everyone else. A source told E! News she was "livid" with the way the news broke, but after a few days away from the office Kelly cooled off and gave an emotional speech at the start of her talk show. "I really needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts. After 26 years with this company, I earned the right -- and let's be honest, I know half of you called in sick to be here, so we get each other. In that time, I gained some perspective. I always speak from the heart. I didn't want to come out here and just, like, say something I might regret," she said during the show's monologue. "What transpired, though, over the course of a few days has been extraordinary in the sense that it started a much greater conversation about communication and consideration and, most importantly, respect in the workplace. Since we're being honest, I don't consider this just a workplace," she continued. "This is my second home. This is a place that I've devoted myself to, not just because of you, our loyal viewers, but because of all of the producers and the crew who work on this show. We have an incredible team. We are incredibly devoted to one another. We are family." Strahan originally said he would be staying on Live! until September, but Tuesday the network revealed his last day would be in a couple of weeks. "After meeting with the producers of both Live and Good Morning America, and after speaking with Kelly and Michael, we have decided on a plan that best advantages both shows for the future. To that end, Michael's last day on Live will be on Friday, May 13, which not only gives the show the chance to have a nice send-off for him during the May book, but to also immediately begin the on-air search for a new co-host," a show spokesperson told E! News. "This plan also allows GMA to start integrating Michael into the show more often this summer before his full-time start in September." (Eonline)

Liz May Still Be Dead on The Blacklist, But Someone Else Might Not Be. Oh, The Blacklist, what a tease. We're still not entirely willing to believe that Elizabeth is dead, but we can't tell you why. It's just a feeling we have, and a feeling that grew stronger through her brief (but admittedly lovely) funeral, and while Red made a visit to Liz's secret maternal grandfather and continued to make us wonder about the nature of his relationship to her and her family. It's clear that Red and Liz's/Masha's grandfather do not get along all that well, and that the old man has never gotten over the death of his daughter...but what if his daughter isn't dead? And what if his daughter/Liz's mother is actually Famke Janssen?! That's what the current theory is, based on the mysterious Janssen's encounters with two people of interest in the investigation into a worldwide network of satellites that may have been used to track and eventually kill Liz. Photos of those encounters -- including one with Cynthia Panabakar -- are pretty much the only evidence anyone has right now, since whoever was controlling the satellites destroyed anything else useful just as the FBI was about to knock down their door, but if Katarina really is still alive, that may be all they really need. Now, the characters on The Blacklist may not know this, but we know that Janssen is about to be the lead in her own potential spin-off with Tom (Ryan Eggold). Does it make sense that Tom might break out on his own with his dead wife's estranged/formerly dead mother? Maybe. But something tells us there's something else up with this mysterious lady. Also, James Spader has possibly never been so simultaneously creepy and mesmerizing while sifting glitter through his fingers. What an actor that man is. The Blacklist airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on NBC. What are your theories about what's currently going on? Is Liz really, for sure dead? (Eonline)

Coming up behind you! Jimmy Kimmel had better watch out because his daughter Jane looks really comfortable (and supercute!) in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! hot seat! The proud dad shared a photograph via Twitter of his 21-month-old little tot sitting behind the desk, preparing for a tough show ahead and warming up the audience. "I've been replaced. #TakeYourKidToWorkDay," Kimmel, 48, captioned the photograph in which little Jane looked adorable, wearing a pretty floral top. Kimmel wasn't the only dad bringing his kid to work Thursday. Late Late Show host James Corden had a hilarious moment during his broadcast, when the studio was totally taken over with offspring of his crew. (US Weekly)

'Game of Thrones': Isaac Hempstead Wright Previews Bran Stark's Return. The eldest surviving Stark son returns in the second episode of season six with some brand new powers. With some exceptions, few characters on Game of Thrones ever achieve their goals, or live long enough to enjoy the victory. Robb Stark (Richard Madden) was betrayed and butchered at the height of his military campaign. Joffrey Lannister (Jack Gleeson) basked in the bloody glow of the Red Wedding for no more than three episodes before choking to death at his own purple nuptials. Weeks later, Lannister patriarch Tywin (Charles Dance) died, despite countless victories over his enemies. The ways in which men and women have failed and lost are varied and plentiful, certainly when stacked against those who have reached their desired destination ... but Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) breaks this show's golden rule. Ever since losing his ability to walk after falling from the high towers of Winterfell, the eldest surviving Stark son dedicated his entire existence to pursuing his dreams -- literally, in fact, as he sought to discover the mythical mystic who haunted his imagination. Unlike so many others who died in pursuit of their conquests, Bran actually reached his goal, thanks to assistance from friends, with some giving their lives for the cause. At the end of season four, Bran and his fellows broke past The Wall and arrived at the weirwood cavern housing the magical Three-Eyed Raven, an ancient magician who offered a solemn promise to the young hero. "You will never walk again," he swore, "but you will fly." After a full season on the bench, the promise of flight- whether literal or metaphorical -- finally manifests in the sixth season of Game of Thrones. Bran returns in this Sunday night's episode, "Home," marking his first appearance since finally meeting the Three-Eyed Raven in 2014's final episode of the Emmy-winning series. According to Hempstead Wright, much has changed, even if the surroundings have not. "He's still hanging out in that tree cave," the actor tells The Hollywood Reporter. "At the end of season four, Bran reached this cave where destiny had been calling him for the whole series, and now he's finally made it. It's a little bit like, 'Wow ... what am I going to do now?'" Season six answers that question, as Bran embarks on a quest to perfect his skills as a warg and green seer. As a reminder, "warg" refers to Bran's ability to enter the minds of other animals -- like his direwolf Summer, for example, and sometimes even his bodyguard Hodor (Kristian Nairn), though using the ability on humans is traditionally frowned upon within the warging community. (Hodor, of course, returns in season six as well, and Nairn describes the beloved giant's journey this season with two words: "Hodor," of course, and "bewildered." Nairn tells THR: "I don't think he particularly enjoys the whole magical element very much, but he's willing to be there for the sake of Bran. He loves Bran. But he's bewildered. He doesn't know what's happening. He's a bit scared.") Greensight, meanwhile, involves witnessing and potentially interacting with visions of the past and future. It's the latter ability that ought to intrigue viewers most, with Bran's story likely to provide insight into some of the greatest mysteries in Westeros lore. "Bran basically spent [season five] training up," says Hempstead Wright. "The Three-Eyed Raven said to him, 'Look, you've had these powers, and you've had glimpses of what they are. Now I'm going to show you what you can really do.'" Max von Sydow joins the Thrones cast as the aforementioned Three-Eyed Raven, a man whose own sharpened abilities open up the show's narrative possibilities. More than that, though, he's a man with fascinating ties to some of the most prominent families and historical events in Westeros history, as heavily implied in author George R.R. Martin's source material. "He's a real sage," says Hempstead Wright. "There's magic in the show, but it's often kept on the fringes. It's a lot like how magic's treated in our world; everyone's skeptical about it in the Game of Thrones world. 'The dragons died years ago! And White Walkers? They don't exist!' So when you do get a bit of it, it's exciting -- but when you get some serious magic like Melisandre or the Three-Eyed Raven, and him in particular with his stoic, philosophical zen sense about him, just sitting in the tree ... the idea itself is just fantastic, this man wrapped in all of these roots, connected to the entire history of Westeros. He's a remarkable character, and clearly a character who is an extraordinarily interesting man of history." Under the guidance of this new mentor, Bran himself becomes an extraordinarily interesting man in Westeros history. With one milestone already passed, Bran's future is wide open for new goals to be set and crossed. After all, there's still the promise of flight -- and elsewhere in the world of ice and fire, there are dragons. Will Bran's story reach the fiery heights typically reserved for House Targaryen? "He's by no means a master yet, and he still has a bit to learn -- a lot of responsibility to learn -- but he can do some very cool things," Hempstead Wright teases. "He's on his way up there." Bran Stark returns to Game of Thrones on May 1. Follow THR's Game of Thrones coverage for more interviews, news and analysis. (Hollywood Reporter)

The whispers are growing!!
