Surprise! Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Welcome Baby No. 2! Surprise! Eva Mendes has given birth! The actress and Ryan Gosling have welcomed baby no. 2 -- and it's a girl! The news comes shortly after reporting that the Hollywood couple were expecting another child together. According to the birth certificate, which was obtained by TMZ, who first broke the story, the famous parents named their daughter Amada Lee Gosling, and they managed to keep the birth a secret for quite some time. The certificate lists Amada's birth date as April 29 at 8:03 a.m. The baby was born at Providence St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. If Amada sounds familiar, it's for a reason. Their newborn's name is actually their first-born daughter Esmeralda Amada Gosling's middle name. After her first child, Mendes expressed that she wanted first and middle names that represented her Hispanic heritage since their daughter has Gosling's surname. "Amada" in Spanish can also mean beloved, adored and dear. Coincidentally, Mendes also played a character named Amada Juarez in the 2007 film We Own the Night. During filming, Mendes even asked director James Gray if he'd change her character's name to honor her late grandmother, whom she never met. "I have a feeling that I am so like her, I feel like we're connected," Mendes has said of her grandma. Mendes and Gosling are parents to daughter Esmeralda, who is 1 and a half years old. They have long kept their personal lives mostly private and have not yet shared a photo of their little girl publicly. Us Weekly, who first reported the news of Mendes' last pregnancy, reported the actress was spotted hiding her growing baby bump during a photo shoot in Los Angeles in February. Mendes has not been photographed at a celebrity party or other event since December. A source close to Mendes and Gosling told E! News after they welcomed their first child that the actors are loving parenthood. "They've settled so well into their new family of three," the insider dished. "Ryan is very hands on and has been taking the baby after the early morning feed so Eva can sleep in a bit. He sings the baby songs -- they are both madly in love with this child." Here's to adding another bundle of joy to this loving and happy family! (Eonline)

Chloë Grace Moretz Confirms She's in a Relationship With Brooklyn Beckham. Chloe Grace Moretz confirmed what we all knew to be true Monday night. The 18-year-old star of Universal Pictures' Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, where she played "Plead the Fifth" for the first time. "I'm very, very nervous," Moretz said. Host Andy Cohen asked her three questions, giving her just one chance to pass. After asking what would happen if she were to be trapped in an elevator with Kim Kardashian following their social media scuffle (watch the video for her answer), Cohen brought up Moretz's Complex cover story. In it, the actress said Taylor Swift was "a talented girl" but said she was not a fan of "squads," as they "appropriate exclusivity." According to Moretz, the two quotes were taken out of context. "What actually happened was they asked me about the meaning of the word 'squad,' and what I said was, 'I don't like the word squad because it does create exclusively.' But it was never against Taylor and it was never against her squad," she said. "It was obviously social media and the public turning women against women, which has been happening for years." To make her point clear, Moretz added, "It wasn't about Taylor Swift. It was never about Taylor Swift. They just enjoy turning Taylor against me because it creates a good headline." Cohen's third and final question got a little more personal. "Last time you were here, I asked you about your relationship with Brooklyn Beckham," he recalled. "You were like, 'Uh, we're friends.'" At the time -- Sept. 22, 2014, to be exact -- Moretz played coy about the 17-year-old scion, telling a loyal viewer, "He's a very good guy. He's a good person. I enjoy hanging out with him." In hindsight, Moretz said Monday, "I was shady." This time around, Cohen brought the receipts -- in the form of Instagram photos, natch. "Since then, you've posted a picture on Instagram of him kissing your head. He recently posted a picture of you on Instagram calling you 'bae,'" he told Moretz. "What is your relationship?" "We're in a relationship. It's fine. It's no biggie. And I think that, you know, the more I don't make it mysterious, the more that people don't care," she said. "So yes, we're in a relationship." Moretz added, "Very exciting news, I'm sure!" (Eonline)

Liam Payne and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini Make Their Red Carpet Debut and They Can't Keep Their Eyes Off of Each Other. Who cares about all of the flashing lights and photographers yelling their names? Liam Payne and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini are focused on each other. The new couple made things officially official Monday night when they stepped out and made their red carpet debut as a couple. Payne and his ladylove, 32, posed for pictures on the red carpet ahead of Eva Longoria's Global Gift Gala, and these two couldn't keep their eyes off of each other! The One Direction hunk and former X Factor judge were absolutely smitten with one another, flashing their beaming smiles and holding each other close while displaying their love for the cameras. These Brit stars may be newly linked in a romantic way, but it turns out that they've actually known each other for quite some time. Fernandez-Versini first met the boy bander when he auditioned for The X Factor at age 14 and then saw him again at age 16 when he tried out in 2010, which led to the formation of 1D. Less than two months after E! News confirmed that that the pair are dating, Cowell spoke out about the couple and expressing his approval of the pairing. "I saw them together and we had a really nice dinner. They were on good form," Simon shared with The Sun. "They're like two little chipmunks madly in love. Literally, they were so cute." He continued, "But importantly they both seemed very happy over here and very relaxed. I'm happy for them." (Eonline)

Kaley Cuoco Brings "Special" Boyfriend Karl Cook to Late Show Taping, Says She's "Not Ashamed" of Divorce. While art may often imitate life, such is not the case for Kaley Cuoco and her Big Bang Theory character, Penny. To start, the 30-year-old actress just celebrated the wedding of the character she has played for nearly a decade in the show's ninth season. However, off-screen, Cuoco recently finalized her divorce from her former husband of 21 months, former tennis pro Ryan Sweeting. The split was legally confirmed as of May 6. "Everything ended the way it was supposed to," the actress told Gayle King on CBS This Morning. "I'm not ashamed of anything that happened," she said regarding the split. "I love hard and when it's over, it's over... I wouldn't call it a mistake. It just is what happened in my life." Meanwhile, days later, the actress was spotted arriving to a taping for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with her new beau, equestrian Karl Cook, at her side. The conversation quickly turned personal. While discussing Penny's future children with the host, Cuoco admitted that she's just not so keen on having babies at the office. "I don't like working with kids," she declared to the late-night host. "Do you have kids?" Colbert asked in return. "No! No," she answered adamantly. "I like kids. I don't want to work with them. I don't want to be around them." "Babies are really tough to work with," she continued explaining. "They're the biggest divas you could possibly have around. They're carried in. They only work like six minutes. Guess what -- I'd like to only work six minutes." Cuoco had no intentions of sugarcoating her feelings. "I just feel like the babies can do whatever the hell they want and I don't think that that's fair," she declared. "So, I don't want to work with them." While she seems to be in little rush to become a mom, she has "never been happier" thanks in part to her new man. "He's special," she said during CBS This Morning. "I think that the horse connection is special." (Eonline)

Robert Downey Jr. Really Doesn't Care About Being the World's Highest-Paid Actor. You'd assume someone would be jumping for joy to know that he is the highest-paid person in his industry (especially when that industry happens to be Hollywood). However, Robert Downey Jr. is more focused on his legacy and finding continued success as an actor at this point in his life. In the latest issue of GQ Style, the 51-year-old actor opens up about getting older, wiser and understanding that monetary value has nothing to do with his creative value. "First of all, could you imagine back in, let's call it the golden era...Pacino's and De?Niro's -- do you think they would ever have allowed such a paltry discussion, reducing them to a monetary figure?" he asks the publication. "I have had and I have created some of the worst luck in the history of anybody in the public eye. And then there was five minutes there where I was batting a thousand." Despite what he may consider his "worst luck," R.D.J. says he never sees anything as a failure. "I don't want to talk about failure. I want to talk about moments of humility," he explains. "Like when you feel suddenly sick and embarrassed but then you have to continue on to the next moment immediately in full view of others. Because it's not failure if you just recognize, I fell short, and that's okay." In order to prevent himself from falling short in the future, he looks at the roles he takes on with a keen eye. "Honestly, just as someone who loves movies, it's: Can I be bothered to go see that movie if that guy makes it?" he tells GQ. "And I'm not saying that I only want to do quote-unquote popular mainstream movies. But life is short, and ultimately I'm in a service industry. As much as I exist to do anything else, I exist to create widgets of entertainment for other people to consume. And some people, that's a big affront to their sensibilities, and I go, okay. End of the day, you are in a service industry, like Kirkland. It's that simple." He continues, "When you're on the outside looking in, for years, for decades, only a fool misplays [success] once he's given a winning hand. And aside from certain devastating genetic weaknesses, I am not a fool." As for his advice for younger actors seeking the same path as him, he says, "If you always talk about all the cool stuff you're gonna do, and you don't understand why it hasn't already happened for you, because, you know [snaps fingers]... The fumes of that will get you over the first hurdle, and nothing else. You must learn to put your nose to the grindstone for years and not look up, no matter how much rejection is heaped on you." He also expresses the power of appreciating what you have when you have it. Looking back on his role in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, he gets nostalgic. "When I watch that movie I say, 'You were beautiful. And now... you just need to accept the fact that you're going to age as gracefully as possible.'" (Eonline)

Olivia Munn Says Losing 12 Pounds While Filming X-Men: Apocalypse Was ''Not Intentional.'' Here's a tip: Learning how to do stunts will shed some pounds. Olivia Munn has given fans sneak peeks of her grueling workouts while filming X-Men: Apocalypse, and the actress explains that she lost 12 pounds while shooting the anticipated flick -- but she didn't mean to! "It was not intentional. I was trying to learn how to do all of the stunts," Munn began to explain while sitting down with E! News' Catt Sadler during the film's London press junket. "My character's the last to be brought into the story. They weren't expecting Psylocke to do a lot of fighting in the movie, but when I had signed on, I said that's something that I really wanted," she continued. "So when they brought in my stunt person -- she's super talented and very athletic, but she had never done stunts before, and she'd never done martial arts or any fighting, and she'd never picked up a sword. So when she told me that, I was like oh, my gosh." Munn knew in that moment that she was going to have to step up to the plate. "She was very capable and very athletic, but she had never done any stunts before, and I had grown up doing Taekwondo. I'm like, this is Psylocke's entry into this world, I'm not Jennifer Lawrence, if they don't have it, they're not gonna make sure to get it in there somehow. If there's not a fight scene being shot, if they don't have it, they're not gonna use it. "If I wanted the fans to see Psylocke and get a good fight scene for her and the fans, I knew I had to go do it myself. So I started training every day with Taekwondo and sword and the stunt and wire work, and I just ended up losing 12 pounds from working out every day." Once shooting was done, however, the brunette beauty went back to indulging in some of her favorite snacks. "As soon as I finished, I went back to Green Bay where my boyfriend was, and I literally just ate chips and salsa." Don't miss X-Men: Apocalypse when it hits theaters on May 27. (Eonline)

Nick Jonas Talks Becoming an LGBT Icon and Addresses the ''Gay Baiting'' Critics. Nick Jonas has been in the public eye for 10 years now, continuously dealing with tabloid rumors and speculation, and yet sometimes they still get to him. Case in point: the "gay baiting" critics who accuse him of using the LGBT community to gain more fame. He covers the June/July 2016 issue of OUT magazine and opens up about the sting surrounding that type of negative attention. "It's not the majority, but a large handful have a negative opinion for whatever reason," he says. "And I think it's really quite sad." It's sad because Nick's done quite a bit of work within the LGBT community, including raising awareness by playing several gay characters in some of his latest roles. Discussing his character Nate (who is grappling with masculinity and a conservative family) in Kingdom, Nick says, "It's been a great character to play. One that I try to be respectful of and take myself out of. He's on his own path." To prepare for the role, he spoke to some of his closest gay friends about coming out while dealing with their own conservative families. "It was a good way to research," says Jonas, "to kind of build the character with some elements of real life." He is also careful to incorporate real life into his musical work, too. On the topic of his latest album, he explains how his breakup with Olivia Culpo really inspired the music. "With this one I made a real point to tell stories as honestly as I could," Jonas tells the publication. "It became very clear what it was going to be about, after the breakup. I just dove in headfirst and wrote about all of it. I think it was the most meaningful relationship I've ever been in, and it was the longest." Though he finds release talking about his love life through his music, he still struggles in understanding the public's obsession with his relationships. "It definitely sucks. It sort of feels like, on top of dealing with the situation with the person, you have to be thinking about other people's opinion about it, and without all the information." And this is something he (creepily) had to start dealing with at a very young age, too. "The fact that people were intrigued by a 14– or 15-year-old's relationships was strange to me," he says. "Now I think it makes a bit more sense. I think it's kind of amusing, people's interests. But it's funny, because I think I live a pretty low-key life." (Eonline)

Both of Tiger Woods' exes, Elin Nordegren and former girlfriend Lindsey Vonn, were making the rounds over Kentucky Derby weekend -- and party organizers were ordered to keep the two blondes apart. While Nordegren and Vonn have been friendly in the past, party organizers were instructed not to seat the Olympic skier anywhere near the former Mrs. Woods, we hear. The pair crossed paths a night before the big race at Friday's Barnstable Brown Foundation Gala, which was also attended by Kate Upton, Jon Voight and Megyn Kelly. We're told Swedish beauty Nordegren, who divorced Woods in 2010 after his myriad affairs were uncovered, then headed to breeder Black Rock Thoroughbreds' Fillies & Stallions party to join guests including Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and singer Joey Fatone, with Vonn arriving not far behind. "The staff was being told over a walkie-talkie that Lindsey was on her way over and must be put in a different area from Elin," said a source. "They were very clear about that." Vonn -- who dated the golf superstar from March 2013 until May 2015 -- had problems getting into the event because she had been issued the wrong wristband. But once inside, we're told she sat with girlfriends in a separate VIP area, well away from the mother of Woods' two children, Sam and Charlie. According to insiders, former gold medalist Vonn was also very insistent that she didn't want photographers to take her picture at the fête. We're told the two women have a complicated relationship. "Elin really liked Lindsey because the kids really liked her," said a source close to Nordegren, adding that if Vonn wanted to keep her distance at the party, it would likely be an attempt to avoid any media storm created if there were pictures of them partying together. But a rep for Vonn insisted that she didn't ask to be seated away from Nordegren, adding the two women are on "great terms" and spoke at different events over the weekend. (Page Six)

Massey acknowledged there was an argument, but claimed all along Cassalei tripped. As we reported, she did not want to press charges ... although the D.A. could still have gone forward with the case.

A League of Their Own Cast Reunites to Play Ball 24 Years Later. It's been 24 years since the ladies of A League of Their Own hit the field to play ball in the 1992 flick, and this weekend they got together to play again! Six members from the cast reunited on Sunday for the second annual League of Their Own reunion softball game hosted by the Bentonville Film Festival. The cast members that participated included: Tracy Reiner (Betty "Betty Spaghetti" Horn), Anne Ramsay (Helen Haley), Geena Davis (Dottie Hinson), Freddie Simpson (Ellen Sue Gotlander), Megan Cavanaugh (Marla Hooch) and Patti Pelton (Marbleann Wilkenson). The Bentonville Film Festival is a six-day event held in in Bentonville, Ark., and was co-founded by Davis. It focuses on empowering women and diverse voices in media. "This event was so popular last year that we decided to do it again," Davis stated on the festival's website prior to the event. "And I'm so thrilled to have six of my Rockford Peaches cast mates attending the game this year." Davis recently sat down with Vulture and further expressed her fight for the female voice. "Identifying with a character is one of the best parts of seeing a movie, but as women, we've had to train ourselves to experience the male journey," she said. "I made a conscious choice to think about the women in the audience. 'What will they think?' And it's not to say we aren't girlfriends, wives, or partners -- of course we are. But that's not all we are, and that's the problem." (Eonline)

Madonna was at a pre-Mother's Day dinner at Dirty French on Saturday. The singer dined with daughter Lourdes, designer Marc Jacobs and pals, but son Rocco -- the subject of her bitter custody battle with ex Guy Ritchie -- wasn't on the scene. Madge "didn't have security .?.?. She was just hanging like a normal person," said a spy. But when a fan approached, "He asked for a picture .?.?. She said, 'No, not now.' He then asked her for a hug." But Madonna shot back, "How about a handshake instead?" (Page Six)

After more than a half century in show business, Dolly Parton hasn't changed a bit. "I'm most comfortable in high-heels and wigs and makeup and gaudy clothes," Parton told Page Six at an appearance celebrating the 31st year of Dollywood, her amusement park in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. "Same as always!" At age 70, the country music legend is hitting the road this summer on her first major tour in 25 years. She also recently launched a new dinner theater show and family resort in the Smoky Mountains, and has an album slated for release in August. "I'm having such a good time and the fans seem to be enjoying me," she continued. "So I'm going to ride that wave until I get washed ashore." Parton's larger-than-life persona has become part of her brand and she embraces the attention her iconic image has garnered from fans over the years. "I'd feel like a fool if I went [incognito] somewhere and I looked awful and they recognized me anyhow," she said. "I'd rather they just say, 'Oh I saw Dolly Parton today,' than just say, 'Lord did you see Dolly Parton? She looked like hell.' That would be the worst thing for someone like me-a big painted-up plastic doll." The "9 to 5" actress has famously quipped, "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap," but achieving that look isn't always labor-intensive. "I've timed it and I can be completely good and ready in 20 minutes," she dished. "But I like to have an hour if I can." Although Parton enjoys being casual in the privacy of her home, the powerhouse draws from an impressive collection of hair-dos for stepping out in public. "I don't count them, but I say I must have at least 365 wigs because I usually wear a different one every day," she admitted. "But if I'm just at home I don't wear wigs. I keep my own hair and I keep my roots done-my own hair is the same [blond] color [as the wigs]." But regardless of her over-the-top appearance, the "Jolene" songstress knows that true beauty is only skin deep. "I'm the biggest phony-looking person in the world and I know that, but this is how I feel comfortable," she explained. "I think everybody should look and be whatever makes them comfortable so their inner self-their God Light- can shine. To me, I know I look totally phony, but I'm really not." The buxom Tennessee native has famously admitted to being nipped and tucked over the years, but her giving spirit and charitable contributions to causes including literacy efforts and wildlife conservation overshadow even her most ample physical assets. "There ain't much real about me but my heart," said Parton. "I just feel sorry when I see people that don't know how to even be who they are or they are trying to be something they're not. I don't think you should ever be ashamed no matter who or what you are, you should be proud of who you are." (Page Six)

Pamela Anderson can thank ex-husband Rick Salomon for aging her. "I look back at pictures of myself when I was in this awful relationship, and I looked 20 years older," the 48-year-old mom of two told W magazine. "I know it sounds like a cliche, but happiness has a lot to do with beauty." Anderson and Salomon, 48, were married and divorced twice. Their second divorce, which occurred in 2015, awarded Anderson over a $1 million. "Calm, peacefulness and no constant stress are very, very important to feeling beautiful and confidence," Anderson added. "And that comes across whether you're wearing makeup or not. I remember looking in the mirror during filming and saying, 'Who is this person? How did I let myself get to this place?'" Anderson is the star of the new short film "Connected," which premiered this past weekend in New York City. The 14-time Playboy cover girl says the role is a metaphor for how aging women are treated. "Aging is something we all deal with," she said. "At a certain age, you can find yourself at a loss. Your children are grown. You may have gone through a divorce. You're trying to find meaning ... You're dealing with so much loss at this age. It seems like everything is behind us, so what's next? We took a lot of things for granted -- youth, beauty. But now what?" (Page Six)

Toni Braxton put some respek on Birdman's name by hanging with the Cash Money CEO -- and it's not for the first time ... which makes it more surprising they've kept this under wraps. The cat started crawling out of the bag when Birdman showed up Sunday for Toni's Grammy Park performance in Brooklyn. We're told backstage was sealed off so very few people could see them together, but this pic of the rendezvous got out. Sources tell TMZ ... Birdman left with his entourage to go clubbing. It's unclear if he and Toni had a "run-in" later, but we're told they've been close for years ... and have hooked up in the past. Our sources say they're trying to keep it on the DL, and up until now they have. 'Nuff respek. (TMZ)

Kim Zolciak-Biermann Sets Record Straight on Plastic Surgery Rumors: 'I Will Always Nip and Tuck If I Feel the Need to Do So'. Kim Zolciak-Biermann is coming clean about her plastic surgery past. "I will always nip and tuck if I feel the need to do so" Zolciak-Biermann told E! News. "I'm open about it. I don't care. You only go around one time, and I especially understand that." So what work has the Don't Be Tardy star had done? "I had a boob job and I've had a hernia fixed," Zolciak-Biermann, 37, explained. "I had a pretty big hernia from the twins, so I said just do a tummy tuck, which is kinda the same thing, just make the skin really tight. But that doesn't change my size. I'm the same size I was the day I walked into surgery, I'm just a little bit tighter looking." The reality star has been candid about going under the knife in the past. She previously documented her breast augmentation surgery on her Bravo reality show-and is not shy about getting Botox injections. The former Dancing with the Stars contestant, who just launched her new skincare line Kashmere Kollection, also went on to explain her tiny frame runs in the family. "A lot is genetics," Zolciak-Biermann said. "My mom's very small, I'm tall, I'm 5-8, I do have height on me. My mom is 5-4. But my mom's been a size 2 her whole life. I've been a size 27 jean my whole life." And just because Zolciak-Biermann's got good genes doesn't mean she can eat anything she wants. "I don't eat tons at a meal," she says. "I love dessert, not gonna lie, definitely have dessert every night. Just a little brownie, not a big sundae. I think eating in moderation is key for people. I think the portion sizes that are out there today are just insane." (People)

Going out on a high. Jodie Sweetin wasn't shedding any tears after becoming the latest celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing With the Stars on Monday, May 9 -- and felt proud that she and her pro dance partner, Keo Motsepe, had done everything they could. Despite whizzing to the top of the leader board with three perfect 10s, Sweetin and her partner were sent home at the end of week 8. But talking to Us Weekly after the show, the Fuller House star revealed she and Motsepe were already making plans to work together again soon. "If you have to go, best to go on the highest scores you've gotten all season, rather than leaving and saying, 'That was crap!'" the 34-year-old star told Us. "We can both hold our heads really high and say we were proud of what we did." And since production for her Full House reboot starts this morning, May 10, it turned out to be pretty good timing for Sweetin's dance run to come to an end. "I'm so incredibly grateful for this experience and I'm looking at it in a way of -- look at all the things that I gained and the friendships that I made," she said. "And we start Fuller House production tomorrow, so I'm literally walking away from one amazing experience right into another. I can't believe that I get to stop one thing and literally, twelve hours later, start another." And while she will of course miss the friends she's made on the hit dance show, Sweetin revealed she has high hopes that at least one of them will get involved in her next project too! "Keo is going to be there all the time!" she said, of her next job on the Fuller House set. "I don't know if he'll make a cameo but I'm definitely pushing for it! My goal is to get some DWTS person on every single season of Fuller House!" (US Weekly)

Zayn Malik's "LIKE I WOULD" Music Video Gives Us Tron Vibes. Tron 3 is no longer in development, so Zayn Malik's "Like I Would" music video will have to suffice. The 23-year-old singer premiered the music video for his latest single overnight, following the releases of "PILLOWTALK," "iT's YoU" and "BeFoUr" from his album, Mind of Mine. Though Malik has not confirmed that the video was inspired by 1982's Tron or 2010's Tron-Legacy, it nevertheless feels referential. Like Jeff Bridges' Kevin Flynn, Garett Hedlund's Sam Flynn and Olivia Wilde's Quorra, Malik wears a light-up motocross-inspired suit. And, thanks to the laser light show, Malik would look right at home in Disney's digital universe. Director X -- who's worked with Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West -- shot "LIKE I WOULD" at a studio in L.A. The three-minute video includes a dance troupe and Malik wearing a single red contact lens. Malik gave his debut performance of "LIKE I WOULD" on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon March 24. He most recently sang it during the iHeartRadio Music Awards Apr. 3. (Eonline)    

Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani Take Their Romance Center Stage During The Voice Duet. Can you feel the chemistry? Because Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's performance on The Voice Monday night was so electric you'll probably feel an actual shock when you watch it. The twosome teamed up for a very special performance of the duet they wrote together, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," which appears on Shelton's upcoming album (which Shelton has called his most personal album ever). The couple, who have been dating since last year, met while both serving as coaches on NBC's reality hit. Their chemistry took center stage Monday night, however -- they didn't break eye contact one another for pretty much the entire song! After gazing into each other's eyes through their performance, the pair shared a sweet hug. (Plus, as an E! News spy in the audience observed, Shelton paused to walk his lady down the stairs and off the stage before returning to his red chair. What a Southern gentleman.) The single appears on Shelton's new album, If I'm Honest, which hits stores May 20. "This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written or recorded," Shelton said when the performance was announced. "It came from a time and place when Gwen and I were beginning our journey together and both experiencing a hard time letting our guards down with each other. The song couldn't possibly be more honest. I'm honored to have written and to perform this song with the great Gwen Stefani. Respect." It was a country-centric night on The Voice as Florida Georgia Line performed their new single, "H.O.L.Y." The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC. (Eonline)

Meghan Trainor Is Not Happy That Someone "Photoshopped the Crap Out of Me" in New Music Video. Meghan Trainor is not all about that Photoshopping. Fans were delighted to watch the singer's music video for "Me Too" early Monday morning. But once Meghan herself saw the finished product, she immediately wanted it removed from her official accounts. "Hey guys, I took down the 'Me Too' music video because they Photoshopped the crap out of me and I'm so sick of it and I'm over it," she explained in one of several Snapchats. "So I took it down until they fix it." She continued, "My waist is not that teeny. I had a bomb waist that night. I don't know why they didn't like my waist but I didn't approve of that video and it went out for the world so I'm embarrassed." So who's to blame for this possible video malfunction? Some fans began to speculate that it was Meghan's very own team when she wrote on Snapchat, "When ur team f--ks up so bad." She would later clarify, "Not my team. My team is the best. I don't hate my team. I hate people who edit and Photoshop. I have an anthem about it. Check it out. It's called 'All About That Bass' off that first album." And yes, that's the disc that helped her win Best New Artist at the 2016 Grammys. Ultimately, Meghan remains focused on supporting her new album available May 13. The disc titled Thank You features the hit single "No." And yes, fans will be able to hear the sounds when she hits the road this summer including a stop at this weekend's Wango Tango presented by 102.7 KIISFM. As for the buzzworthy "Me Too" music video, Meghan still remains fulfilled with the song. She just wishes the video turned out differently before it was made public. "The video is still one of my favorite videos I've ever done. I'm very proud of it," she confessed on Snapchat. "I'm just pissed off that they broke my ribs. You know?" (Eonline)

Blake Shelton's Message to Miranda Lambert? "I Bet You Miss Me a Little Bit." Blake Shelton's new album is called If I'm Honest -- and it sure is living up to that name. The music superstar opened about his new music Monday night during his iHeartRadio album release show at The Honda Stage in L.A. While he didn't mention his ex-Miranda Lambert by name, he talked about the meaning behind the tune "I Bet You Still Think About Me." "It's basically what it sounds like," Shelton said. "At some point whether you go through a divorce or a breakup or whatever, once you get past the anger and the frustration of it all, you kind of go into the sad part of it where it's just like, 'Gosh, how come that didn't work out?'" And that's what this song is about. Even though stuff didn't work out, I bet you miss me a little bit. It's a sad song." Shelton's new love, Gwen Stefani, was at the show and even jumped on stage to duet on "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" as they did just a couple of hours before during The Voice. "Actually I only started this song -- you probably don't realize this -- I only started this song to try to impress you," he said to Stefani. "I sent her like half the song and she wrote the other half." Stefani cooed, "It worked. It worked." After performing the tune, Shelton gave Stefani a kiss and she returned to her spot at the side of the stage to watch the rest of the show. (Eonline)

Rita Ora is reportedly not returning to this year's X Factor and has quit the show, leaving poor old Simon Cowell as the only judge left on the panel. What is he going to do, we wonder!? Rita is said to have quit the show to concentrate on her music career and her role in Fifty Shades of Grey. A show source told The Mirror: "Rita will not be taking part in the show, 2016 is going to be all about her music and her career and that doesn't leave enough time for The X Factor and new talent. "It means the judging panel will really be shaken up this year but after last year's ratings that might be no bad thing." Last month Cheryl announced she was not returning to the series. In a statement she said: "I have had such an amazing experience being a judge on the X Factor. "I have learnt so much and enjoyed nurturing talent but I've missed making music and am excited to be recording again." (British Glamour)

Gwen and Blake performed "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" for the very first time live on The Voice Monday night. The "Make Me Like You" singer shared her excitement on Twitter, writing, "@blakeshelton @NBCTheVoice can't believe this is bout to go down tonight! #GoAheadAndBreakMyHeart #newmusic." At the Radio Disney Music Awards earlier this month, the No Doubt front woman told E! News, "I am excited because I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write a song with that guy. He's so talented. He's an amazing writer. Every time I collaborate with anyone I feel like it's the best thing I've ever done. Whenever I collaborate, it lifts me." And it never hurts to collaborate with someone you L-O-V-E. (Eonline)

In among the more surprising news we've heard in a while, Justin Timberlake has confirmed he is performing at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night. While, disappointingly, he has decided not to compete, he will sing his new single and soundtrack for the new Dreamworks animation Trolls, Can't Stop The Feeling (which we have listened to around 321 time since it was revealed last Friday) for the first time. Apparently, he'll make history by becoming the first non-contestant to perform on the show, known for beginning the careers of the likes of Conchita Wurst, Gina G and Abba. Sven Stojanovic, one of show's producers said: "This is a fantastic opportunity, we are very happy and excited that Justin Timberlake will perform his new song together with his band in our show. "It makes it extra special that the Swedish songwriters Max Martin and Shellback have co-written and co-produced the song together with Justin Timberlake." (British Glamour)

Kanye West's Rapping Helped Lamar Odom Recover, Says Kim Kardashian. Kanye West's ultra-light beams may have been Lamar Odom's saving grace. On Sunday night's episode of E!'s Keeping Up With The Kardashians (May 8), the first family of reality TV revealed how 'Ye's rapping apparently revitalized the former NBA star, who was hospitalized after being in a Nevada brothel last October. "There was a moment when Lamar couldn't really express himself and he couldn't really talk, but he could hear what we were saying to him," Kim said in the episode, according to Rolling Stone. "Kanye really felt we can cure him through music, like we can get him to talk. He would go to the hospital and he would rap and sing, and I think Lamar started to get his function back and started to talk once he started to listen to a lot of music." Last winter, a video surfaced on Twitter of Kim recalling how Yeezy played his The Life of Pablo LP (then called Swish) in the hospital for Odom. Kim also revealed in the episode that Odom had personally told her, "Kanye's music helped me so much. That's when I realized I could start thinking again and things were coming back to me and I could start articulating it." Khloe weighed in, too. "He's always like that," she said. "He's like, 'Kanye saved me.'" Sunday night's show also featured footage of Odom in the hospital. For those who have been keeping up with the Kardashians off-screen, Khloe recently posted a cryptic tweet that read "Hummmmmm... People disappoint" after post-rehab photos of Odom, who was on life support last fall, surfaced of him drinking at the Beverly Center in April. It follows a string of appearances from Odom the past several months who was present at Lakers legend Kobe Bryant's final game as well as West's Yeezy Season 3 event. (Billboard)

Amid Rumors of Trouble at Home, Ozzy Osbourne 'Honoring Commitment' for Public Appearance with Slipknot Frontman. The Black Sabbath singer is scheduled to make a "very special announcement" on May 12. Ozzy Osbourne's whereabouts have been a topic of much speculation in recent days, but according to reps for the singer, he will be present at a press conference to be held later this week with Slipknot's Corey Taylor. The rocker sent the Internet buzzing on Saturday night (May 7), when a report surfaced claiming he and longtime wife Sharon Osbourne had split. Citing sources, E! and later Rolling Stone reported that Ozzy had moved out of the house the two shared. And until photos of Ozzy walking a dog surfaced on Monday (May 9), rumors were starting to spread that he was missing. Amid all this gossipy chaos, the Black Sabbath frontman is scheduled to make an appearance with Slipknot's Taylor on May 12 in what is being teased as a "very special announcement." And Ozzy, ever the professional, is "honoring all of his commitments," a rep for the British singer and reality TV star tells Billboard. Osbourne recently wrapped a leg of the Black Sabbath The End tour with bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler on April 25 in Brisbane. It's been speculated that Ozzfest and Knotfest could be united for a special heavy-rock-edged event this fall, details for which might be shared at the Hollywood gathering on Thursday. A publicist for the press conference insists Osbourne will speak "only about his tour plans" on the day. (Billboard)

Women in Film Launches Music Committee With Help From Rita Wilson, Melissa Etheridge. The committee launched Saturday with a cocktail party, which drew around 100 composers, songwriters, agents, music supervisors and studio executives.. Women scored fewer than 2 percent of the top 500 films in 2015, a minuscule improvement from 1 percent in 2014. To help improve those dismal stats, advocacy group Women in Film has formed a new music committee, chaired by music supervisor Tracy McKnight. The committee launched Saturday with a Los Angeles event featuring Oscar winner Melissa Etheridge. The cocktail party, held at the private home of Disney executive Kaylin Frank and The Muppet Show composer Ed Mitchell, drew around 100 composers, songwriters, agents, music supervisors and studio executives. "We're here to start building bridges of opportunity for this community where women are not in the conversation," McKnight told Billboard. The goal is to provide support for female composers and songwriters not just in film but in TV, gaming and all visual media. Joining McKnight on the committee are Frank, ASCAP's Loretta Munoz and Nettwerk's Christine Belden. The first step is immediately expanding Women in Film's mentoring program to a dedicated mentoring circle for female composers and songwriters. Among those already signed on as mentors are Cheryl Tiano (Gorfaine Schwartz), Laura Engel (Kraft-Engel), Vasi Vangelos (First Artists), Peter Golub (Sundance Institute), Paul Broucek (Warner Brothers), Russell Ziecker (Lionsgate), Alicen Schneider (NBC Universal), Tony Scudellari (Sony TV), Brian Loucks (CAA) and Robert Messenger (Fortress Talent). The mentoring sessions will include everything from tips on how to break into the business to organizing meetings between composers and industry executives. Other activities include showcases curated by the music committee to highlight existing talent and gain visibility throughout the film community for female composers and songwriters, as well as coordinate activities with existing organizations such as the Alliance of Female Composers, the Sundance Institute Film Music Program and the Guild of Music Supervisors. Etheridge spoke of her experiences trying to break into film music concurrently with her rise as a Grammy-winning artist. She played several songs she wrote for films, including "I Will Never Be the Same" for Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael, "I Take You With Me" for Boys on the Side and "I Need to Wake Up," her Oscar-winning best original song from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Yet, unlike other rockers -- for instance, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood -- she has not been able to break into scoring for film. "It's about people being brave enough to go, 'I'm going to change that,' " she told Billboard. "It takes the producers, those at the top level, to make that choice." Actress/producer/songwriter Rita Wilson added, "as a producer, I'm attracted to helping my fellow chicks out there." She called February's Annenberg Report on Diversity in Entertainment, which pointed out the staggeringly low representation of women and people of color in films, "one of the most depressing things ever." Wilson, a producer for 2002's $250 million-grossing My Big Fat Greek Wedding, fought to have Nia Vardalos star in the film based on her one-woman play and said creating jobs for more female composers is a matter of similar conviction and awareness. With My Big Fat Greek Wedding, many studios told Wilson to recast Vardalos, despite her having created the character. "I thought to myself, 'Would they say that to Jerry Seinfeld or Ray Romano?' No. It's a matter of putting our foot down here and saying, 'I think we're good.' We have to be consciously aware of [the issue]. That's why events like this are so good." Connections are crucial, as is getting composers in front of directors and producers. Gwendolyn Sanford, who scores Orange Is The New Black, told Billboard she caught the ear of show creator Jenji Kohan years ago when Kohan came to hear Sanford's children's act, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang. When Kohan was looking to make a composing switch after season one of her previous Showtime series, Weeds, she remembered Sanford. That meeting led to seven seasons for Sanford working as composer on Weeds and now four seasons on OITNB, along with Brandon Jay and Scott Doherty. McKnight said there is no specific measuring stick to gauge the committee's success, but the goal is to help level the playing field. "All we can do is create the opportunities. The [composers and songwriters] have to provide the goods. But that means first being in the conversation," she said. (Hollywood Reporter)

Steve Aoki's new music video borders on bestiality ... or at least chimp-on-woman love ... so claims a very angry animal rights group. The brouhaha is over Steve's vid, "Can't Go Home," where a chimpanzee goes bananas over a chick. The girl in the video parades her prize around in various outfits, including a silver chain and gym shorts. The North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance is outraged at Aoki and Adam Lambert, who's featured in the song. NAPSA claims trained primates are poorly treated, often ripped away from their mothers at a very early age and put in training houses where they're abused. Once the entertainment projects are completed, the chimps are viewed as useless and left to psychologically suffer for the rest of their lives. We reached out to Aoki ... so far no word back. (TMZ)

Lupita Nyong'o, David Oyelowo and Madina Nalwanga Bring Chess Prodigy's Inspirational Story to Life in Queen of Katwe Trailer. After a summer of blockbusters, Queen of Katwe's reign will begin. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and ESPN Films, Queen of Katwe (in theaters Sept. 23) tells the true story of Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga), a 10-year-old girl prodigy from Uganda. One day, while selling corn on the street to help her family make ends meet, she meets a man named Robert Katende (David Oyelowo), a soccer player turned missionary who teaches local kids how to play chess. It doesn't take long for Phiona to fall in love with the game. Recognizing her natural aptitude for chess, Robert starts mentoring the pre-teen. Initially, Phiona's mother, Harriet Mutesi (Lupita Nyong'o), is hesitant to encourage her, as she fears that her daughter will be disappointed. But, as Phiona continues to succeed in local chess competitions, Robert teaches her to read and write. Harriet eventually realizes that Phiona has a chance to excel and helps Phiona fulfill her potential and escape a life of poverty. Mira Nair directed the film from a script by William Wheeler. Based on Tim Crothers' book The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster (expanded from an ESPN the Magazine article), the drama was filmed entirely on location in South Africa and Uganda. "It was so great to go back home. I'm from East Africa. I'm from Kenya, which is just next door to Uganda," Nyong'o said at the D23 Expo last year. "This is a story about the commitment to a dream even in the most discouraging of situations. The slum of Katwe is a very difficult place to live, but you see these people living there with dignity and making it day by day. And so to go there and to have that environment to work from really did sober us and enliven us." Queen of Katwe is in theaters Sept. 23. (Eonline)

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Hopes Robin Williams' Family "Will Be Proud" of Jumanji Reboot. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is ready to let the Jumanji magic begin! The actor took to Instagram Monday afternoon where he updated fans on the reboot. After meeting up with director Jake Kasdan, producer Matt Tolmach and other co-workers, it sounds like everyone is ready to share an amazing story while honoring one of the movie's original stars. "An important thing that I want to be honest and bring up is Robin Williams. The love and respect I have for this man is boundless," he wrote in his post. "You have my word, we will honor his name and the character of 'Alan Parrish' will stand alone and be forever immortalized in the world of JUMANJI in an earnest and cool way." He continued, "I have an idea of what to do and I think his family will be proud. I also think Robin is somewhere lookin' down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn't even get my words out. Idiot. He literally calmed me down w/ that smile and laugh. But that's for another fun story down the road." For fans who don't recall, Robin appeared in the original family friendly flick based on Chris Van Allsburg's book of the same name in 1995. He co-starred with Hollywood favorites like Kirsten Dunst, Bonnie Hunt and Patricia Clarkson. The film featured some serious computer-animated animal stampedes, which will likely receive a pretty nice upgrade in the new version currently being developed. Ultimately, The Rock made it clear that he wants to share the unforgettable story with a whole new generation of fans. And yes, there will be some exciting changes moviegoers of all ages can look forward to. "Here's another fun part... in the original movie there were three big roles. In our new story there's now FIVE," he teased. "Been so damn cool to see all my actor buddies push their projects aside so hopefully they can come play in our world. Should have cool casting announcements this week. Will keep you posted." Jumanji is tentatively scheduled for a July 2017 release date. (Eonline)

Borat director Larry Charles and the Wilson brothers are teaming up on a broad comedy that will co-star Martin Lawrence and Olivia Munn.

DWTS' Val Chmerkovskiy Is Ready to Replace Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly. Ginger Zee isn't dancing around the issue! The Good Morning America meteorologist has been wowing the Dancing With the Stars ballroom this season, becoming one of the frontrunners to win the whole competition with her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy. And after tackling the Argentine tango on Monday night's show, earning a perfect score from the judges, Ginger tackled another challenge: addressing the giant morning talk show elephant in the room. Michael Strahan is set to join GMA full-time in September, and there's been some controversy surrounding his departure from Live! With Kelly and Michael after execs give Kelly a heads up about the big move. Still, despite the behind-the-scenes drama, Ginger told E! News' Erin Lim that Michael is "the best," and she's looking forward to him joining the GMA team on a regular basis. "I love having him," she gushed. "We've had him obviously for a couple of years, a couple days a week. I love Michael Strahan and he's going to be a great addition and he's wonderful!" As for who could take over for Michael on Live! after his exit this Friday, her partner Val had quite the interesting suggestion. "Look, I'm in," he told us. "Michael is going to come on Dancing With the Stars, and I could go and help out with Kelly. There you go, problem solved!" Sold! But Val did have a bone to pick with viewers after they scored their team dance with Wanya Morris and Lindsay Arnold with a 9, preventing them from receiving their second perfect score of the night. And he's hoping Ginger takes it out on them during her day job. "She's on a show called Good Morning America! She tells you good morning and when it's going to rain. You're picking out your outfit, you don't know the weather, she tells you the weather. And a nine? Wow, America, you're on your own now! She's not going to tell you nothing!" Hey, you guys have no one to blame but yourselves when it starts raining and you're wearing flip flops. DWTS airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Will Stana Katic's Beckett Die in the Castle Season 8 Finale? "Tragedy" Seems to Be Ahead. Is ABC just trolling Castle fans now? In the new promo for the Castle season finale (or is it series? No renewal announcement has been made yet), things aren't looking too great for Castle (Nathan Fillion) or Beckett (Stana Katic). However, one of them is done with the show at the end of this season and the other will return if the show does, so... Katic's exit was announced online, informing fans and cast mates alike. "Rather than distract from what was an amazing experience I would just like to say that I'm very grateful to ABC for giving me the opportunity to be a part of a much beloved show. Thank you to the fans," Katic said in a statement to E! News. Tamala Jones will also not return should Castle return for a season nine.

We are grateful for Stana Katic's talent and dedication to the series and we hope to continue our relationship. Tamala Jones has also been an integral part of the series and we are grateful she was a part of Castle," ABC said in a statement. Fillion took to Twitter after Katic's exit was announced. "Castle has been one of the greatest joys of my creative life, and I hope the show continues on for years to come," he wrote in a note posted on Twitter. "Stana has been my partner all this time, and I thank her for creating the character of Beckett who will live on for all of us as one of the greatest police officers on television. I wish her well, and have no doubt she will succeed in everything she pursues. She will be missed." The Castle season finale airs Monday, May 16 on ABC. (Eonline)

Supernatural finally revealed that yes, Chuck (Rob Benedict) is God, and he really needs the Winchester brothers to defeat his evil sister Amara, also known as the Darkness. "She's relentless," he tells Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) in the exclusive clip from this week's episode. "A force beyond human comprehension. It's the only reason I came off the sidelines." Sam and Dean have their own reasons for wanting Amara gone, since she's currently torturing Luficer/Castiel/Misha Collins, but unfortunately other than a few encouraging words, Chuck is not going to be that much help. "I have no frickin' idea!" he says when they ask if he knows where to find his big sis. "She's warded herself specifically against me." Add that to Sam and Dean's precisely zero ideas as to how to defeat her and you've got yourself one big dilemma heading into the end of the season. Of course, God's also got some very helpful shade to throw at the brothers for not exactly being dedicated churchgoers over the years, and we guess he ain't wrong. Be sure to tune into the CW this Wednesday at 9 p.m. to see how it all goes down on Supernatural. (Eonline)

Meet the Newest NCIS Agents: Tess Monroe and Clayton Reeves. NCIS might be saying goodbye to Michael Weatherly next week (yes, you might want to stock up your tissues now), but it's welcoming two new faces this week that will hopefully stick around for a while. Tuesday night's episode introduced Tess Monroe and Clayton Reeves, the FBI and MI6 agents, respectively, who are collaborating with the NCIS team on the case they've all been chasing: an escaped British spy who is targeting agents all over the world. This storyline will not only bring in the new faces, played by Sarah Clarke and Duane Henry, but Tony will also find himself involved as his exit grows closer. "It not only [sent] our team to England [last week], but it brings the manhunt to the United States," teases showrunner Gary Glasberg. "That sort of continues to snowball and build -- involving Tony -- ultimately toward our final episode." Explains Glasberg, "That manhunt is responsible for also involving the FBI and MI 6, which is where our two new characters come into play. Tess Monroe, played by Sarah Clarke, is an FBI agent who's working in conjunction with Joe Spano's character, Fornell. She's very involved with the case and she works with our team and she's full of fire and cynicism and sarcasm and wit and energy and is extremely experienced and just a lot of fun and feels really organic to our group." Continues the longtime NCIS producer, "The same goes for Clayton Reeves, who is a young MI 6 agent played by Duane Henry. He is edgy and fun and fast and has a real physicality to him and honestly just lights up a room. There's this sort of simmering, bubbling danger that's below the surface that we're taking full advantage of with him as well." Both characters could potentially join the team full-time in season 14, but that is still TBD. "I'm really thrilled with the introduction of these people and we'll have to see where it develops and where it goes," Glasberg says." So far it's been great." NCIS airs Tuesdays on CBS. Clarke and Henry made their first appearances on May 10. (Eonline)

The Voice Coaches Have a Simple Plea for Audiences: Please Stop Clapping Out of Rhythm. PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE OF ANY LIVE SINGING COMPETITION: Please listen to Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine and this one simple truth bomb they dropped during Monday night's episode of The Voice: You are TERRIBLE at clapping. Anyone who's watched an episode of American Idol and seen tween girls awkwardly swaying to a tempo that is most definitely not the one being performed on stage knows that this rhythm issue is pervasive within the reality singing competition community. And anyone who's sat in an audience and watched as the brave artist on stage tried to overcome the rhythmically challenged clapping of the crowd knows that it's not a problem that will be easily solved. During Pharrell's critique of one contestant's performance during Monday night's top nine episode of The Voice, the singer/megaproducer took a second to call out the audience's performance as well. "We have got to get some metronomes for our audience," he lamented. "You guys are the worst clappers ever," fellow coach Adam added. "I mean, legendary how bad that is. That's the worst clapping ever." Quipped Pharrell, "It's like catching mosquitoes!" Listen, we're aware that this is also a reality TV producer problem, because they encourage the audience participation that leads to the off-tempo clapping. But with the help of more rhythmically inclined members of the audience, we can improve the working conditions for all reality TV performers. People, there is no reason you cannot learn to clap in rhythm! Here's the first big tip: 2 and 4. That's when you clap. Clapping on 1 and 3 is a punishable offence. So let's all practice at home before we go to a live singing competition -- it'll be better for the performers, for the professional musicians playing in the band, for the coaches tasked with critiquing said performances and for the good of the world. The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC. (Eonline)

Dina Manzo Reveals She Fled New Jersey for L.A. After Finalizing Her Divorce – and Won't Be Back on RHONJ When The Real Housewives of New Jersey returns this summer, don't expect to see original housewife Dina Manzo stirring up drama in the cast. The 44-year-old mom, who just launched her own skincare line, said she won't be returning to the Bravo hit-and it has nothing to do with her long-standing feud with sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita. "I [live] in L.A.," Manzo told Fox 411 in a recent interview. "I don't live in New Jersey anymore. I went through my divorce this year [and] I moved out to California, so it didn't make sense." Manzo went on to explain that Bravo wanted her back for the show's seventh season-which will chronicle bestie Teresa Guidice's return from prison. "Of course, they asked me back," Manzo said. "I thought about it for a minute, and I thought 'How am I supposed to do this? I don't live there.' I have an apartment here in Manhattan but I don't live in New Jersey, so I don't see how that could work." Manzo's divorce from husband Tommy Manzo was finalized back in February. Their wedding was seen on VH1's My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding. Manzo is currently dating businessman David Cantin, 35. Just because Manzo's a California native, though, don't expect to see her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or The Real Housewives of Orange County anytime soon. Manzo says reality TV isn't for her. "It wasn't what I thought I was getting myself into, and I realized that." Manzo explained. "I'm kind of the person that if it's not comfortable and it doesn't fit who I am, I walk. You have to be happy and if it doesn't sit well with your soul, you have to listen to that." Dina Manzo is not the only New Jersey housewife who won't be back for season 7. Amber Marchese exclusively told PEOPLE back in November that she wouldn't be returning-focusing instead on her second battle with cancer. (People)

Litchfield Penitentiary is about to get a real and bloody shake-up! In an exclusive sneak peek at the new season of Orange Is the New Black, Piper (Taylor Schilling) reveals, "I have been at Litchfield for a while now, and I've started to feel unsafe lately." There are 100 new inmates, and the prison is in serious need of more correction officers, but once Joe Caputo (Nick Sandow) hires more staff, a whole new line of defense shows up-and not the good kind. As for Piper, she has every right to be scared. In the clip, a very angry Maria Ruiz (Jessica Pimentel) sprints up to Piper and tells her, "I am going to bury you." After Piper adds, "I think I pissed off the whole prison," a series of quick scenes showcase multiple fights breaking out within the inmates, tears, death threats and Suzanne (Uzo Aduba) strapped to a hospital gurney. As for Alex (Laura Prepon), she remains missing from the teaser after ending last season being cornered by the prison guards inside the greenhouse. Orange Is The New Black season 4 premieres on June 17 on Netflix. (People)

TruTV Orders Jon Glaser Project to Series, Developing With The Lonely Island. After a 2015 pilot order, 'Jon Glaser Loves Gear' is set to bow in the fall. Ahead of next week's Turner Networks upfront presentation in New York, TruTV announced three new series Tuesday morning -- as well as a lengthy development slate. The comedy-centric network, which has been upping its commitment to original programming since its 2014 rebrand, most notably gives the green light to a new series from comedian (and frequent Amy Schumer collaborator) Jon Glaser. His new vehicle, Jon Glaser Loves Gear, gets a 10-episode commitment set to debut in the fall. Also getting series orders are Greatest Ever and Lifescaping (working title). "Having successfully re-launched truTV in 2014, we have now turned a corner when it comes to premium content," said network president Chris Linn. "The new truTV is built around compelling, creator-driven shows featuring clear points of view and unique takes on different topics and formats, all told through a strong comedic lens. Armed with this momentum and a fresh slate of programming from a diverse group of talent, we are building on a solid foundation and brand promise that is breaking through and clearly resonating with a growing audience of highly-coveted fans." As for the hearty slate of potential series, the network has ordered six new pilots -- two of them scripted. The latter are Small Victories (working title), a comedy about Melissa Hunter confronting everyday injustices, and the Lonely Island-produced I'm Sorry. Starring Andrea Savage, it's about confronting immaturity and neuroses. There are also several renewals, including originals Fameless and Hack My Life. Additionally, Comedy Knockout and Rachel Dratch's Late Night Snack have both gotten more episodes. (Hollywood Reporter)

Bryan Cranston to Star in Philip K. Dick Drama Series for Sony, Channel 4. 'Electric Dreams: The World of Philip K. Dick' will be a 10-part anthology, which Cranston will also executive produce along with 'Battlestar Galactica's' Ronald Moore and 'Justified's' Michael Dinner. Sony Pictures Television and British broadcaster Channel 4 said Tuesday that they are partnering on an original drama series based on the short stories by award-winning sci-fi novelist Philip K. Dick. The 10-part anthology series, Electric Dreams: The World of Philip K. Dick, will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated Ronald D.

Each episode is set to be a standalone drama, adapted and modernized for global audiences by a creative team of British and American writers. The series will both illustrate the writer's prophetic vision and celebrate the enduring appeal of his works, which include The Man in the High Castle, A Scanner Darkly and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which became Ridley Scott's hit Blade Runner. Also executive producing are James Degus (Sneaky Pete, SuperMansion), Isa Dick Hackett (The Adjustment Bureau, The Man in the High Castle), Kalen Egan (The Man in the High Castle), Christopher Tricarico (The Man in the High Castle), Maril Davis (Battlestar Galactica, Outlander), David Kanter (The Revenant, The End of the Tour) and Matt DeRoss (upcoming Cinemax series Quarry, The End of the Tour). "This is an electric dream come true," said Cranston. "We are so thrilled to be able to explore and expand upon the evergreen themes found in the incredible work of this literary master." Added Moore: "As a longtime fan of Philip K. Dick's work, it's a tremendous honor and thrill to be part of this series. His short stories are a treasure trove of material for artists to draw from, and I think this will be a very exciting project." The series was commissioned for Channel 4 by Jay Hunt, Piers Wenger and Simon Maxwell and will be made by Sony Pictures Television. The drama will premiere on Channel 4 in the U.K. and will be distributed internationally by Sony Pictures Television. (Hollywood Reporter)
