Congratulations once again to the future Mr. and Mrs. Verlander! (Eonline)

Pink and Carey Hart "Due" for Third Break in 10 Years. Pink and Carey Hart's home life is colorful, to say the least. When the "Just Like Fire" singer, 36, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, she admitted that after 10 years together, they sometimes need time apart. "Today is a good day," Pink said with a laugh. "We take breaks. We've had two breaks," she said, noting that their yearlong and 11-months-long breaks occurred before daughter Willow Hart was born in 2011. As it happens, Pink said she's "due" for another break from the 40-year-old retired BMX racer. "What was your last fight?" Ellen DeGeneres asked. "He always falls to sleep putting Willow to bed," Pink explained. "The other night I said, 'Are you going to stay up tonight?' And he said, 'I would like to.' I said, 'I don't really know what that means. Should I light candles and open wine and put on a show? Like, are we going big here? Or are you going to fall asleep again?' So, I lit the candles and opened the wine, and an hour and a half later, [Carey was fast asleep in their daughter's bedroom]." Pink was able to find the silver lining in the situation. "I'm caught up on Homeland, so we're good," she joked. "And then he wakes up eventually; I'm pretending to be asleep. He comes in bed -- it's pitch dark; he cannot see my face -- and yet he rolls over and says, 'What's wrong?'" Carey didn't know Pink was awake, though. "He just was guilty," she said. "You lit candles," Ellen said. "He was supposed to go big." "He was. He sucks," Pink laughed. "No, he's good. He doesn't. He's very, very handsome." More importantly, "He's an incredible dad. That's why he falls asleep, because she wants him to stay." (Eonline)

Chloe Grace Moretz Reveals That Dating Brooklyn Beckham Can Be Difficult. Young love can be exciting and romantic, but when you're in the spotlight, it can be a bit tough. Actress Chloe Grace Moretz, 19, has been rumored to be dating 17-year-old Brooklyn Beckham for some time now, and their romance was recently confirmed through a series of lovey-dovey Instagram photos. However, while there are obvious reasons that make this pairing seem pretty awesome (a day hanging out with the Beckhams? Yes, please!), the Kick-Ass star admits that sometimes it can be pretty difficult. The cover star for the June issue of InStyle UK explains that dating can be awkward already, let alone dating someone who is also well-known in the industry. "You already know what I look like in a bathing suit. You know what I look like in a sex scene. You know what I look like when I say 'I love you' to someone. You've already seen it all." She continued, "It creates a mass frenzy and they follow you in separate cars so you can't just run around and share little silly and cute moments." The actress also touched on her refusal to be a part of Taylor Swift 's squad, which seemed to shock many. But as she puts it, she's just not a fan of cliques. "No one really puts herself in the shoes of the girl that's not in the squad -- and that was always me. I didn't go to school. I had all brothers. I was a dork," she explains. And there was one famous controversy that got Moretz wrapped up in a fiery Twitter debate -- Kim Kardashian's nude selfie. A few months ago, she called out the racy photo on Twitter, writing to Kim, "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies," which drew a sassy response from the E! star (and her followers). "I've never been afraid to have my own voice and to speak my own mind. I wasn't catty about it," she said of the whole ordeal. "A lot of people came back and said, 'You're wrong.' I was like, 'You might disagree with me and that's great. Let's have a debate.' At least I believe in something." Moretz's issue of British InStyle is on sale now. (Eonline)

Will Smith Talks Boozy Baby-Making With Jada Pinkett Smith. Married for nearly two decades with three children between them, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith know a thing or two about keeping the sparks alive. The Oscar nominee took the stage at VH1's Dear Mama event to reminisce about his earlier baby-making years with his leading lady. "I'm not gonna be silly. I'm here to honor you," he told the crowd. "Just watching the piece with the kids it just takes me back to when we made them. Can't help but think about that. It's just amazing. It's like you take Jada Pinkett Smith and an obscure town in Mexico and some tequila and you end up with great kids!" We can hear the "Ew, dad!" cries from here. However, Smith kept the rest of the speech kid-friendly as he gushed about his beloved. "Jada is magical," he added. "Part of why I love her is things happen in a way they shouldn't happen, they shouldn't go that way. She has this magical power." Jada returned the sentiment during her later remarks, explaining why she never expected a home life like the one she has had for all these years. "I never thought about being married or having a family. I didn't know anything about that because I came from a single mom so I always though I'd be a single mom and have a career," the Bad Moms actress admitted. "Then I found this beautiful man, Will. I got married to him and I got my bonus son Trey and then I got Jaden and I got Willow and I was able to create, for myself, something I never had -- which means family." A family that has certainly stuck together through it all. Most recently, Will was by his wife's side when she demanded more diversity among the Academy Award nominees, going as far as to boycott the ceremony in a video that has since gone viral. Will was fully supportive. "I was knocked over. I was happy to be married to that woman, but I appreciated the push," he told Good Morning America's Roberts "There's a position that we hold in this community and, if were not a part of the solution, we're a part of the problem."

Woody Allen Opens Up About His Marriage to Soon-Yi Previn: "I Provided Her With Enormous Opportunities." Woody Allen is done defending his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn. In The Hollywood Reporter's May 13 issue, the 80-year-old director dismisses any criticism of their relationship and its controversial beginnings. Soon-Yi, born in Korea and later adopted by actress Mia Farrow and her then-husband Andre Previn, began dating Woody in the mid-'90s. Woody and Mia never actually married, meaning Soon-Yi was not legally his stepdaughter. Their coupling was nonetheless controversial, as the director started seeing Soon-Yi while he was still involved with her mother. Woody has three children with Mia, all of whom are now estranged. Nearly 30 years after the scandal, the filmmaker reveals that he was "immune" to the drama surrounding himself, Soon-Yi and Mia. "You can see I worked right through that, undiminished. Made films all through those years and at the same rate I was making them. I'm good that way," Woody explains. "I am very disciplined and very monomaniacal and compartmentalized." Asked if he ever felt "traumatized by the scandal," he responds, "Oh, no. Not in the slightest." (In the '90s, Mia alleged that Woody abused their then-7-year-old daughter, Dylan Farrow; The charges were dismissed after an investigation. Dylan reasserted the claims two years ago in The New York Times, which Woody swiftly denied. He doesn't discuss the allegations at all with The Hollywood Reporter.) Woody hasn't seen Mia in years. "I don't think she lives in New York," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I think she lives in Connecticut. I'm not sure. Or travels for UNICEF or something." According to Woody, life with Soon-Yi, 45, and their two daughters, ages 15 and 17, couldn't be better. "One of the great experiences of my life has been my wife. She had a very, very difficult upbringing in Korea: She was an orphan on the streets, living out of trash cans and starving as a 6-year-old. And she was picked up and put in an orphanage. And so I've been able to really make her life better. I provided her with enormous opportunities, and she has sparked to them. She's educated herself and has tons of friends and children and got a college degree and went to graduate school, and she has traveled all over with me now. She's very sophisticated and has been to all the great capitals of Europe. She has just become a different person," Woody says. "So, the contributions I've made to her life have given me more pleasure than all my films." Woody pauses when asked how Soon-Yi has changed him. "Well, she's given me a lot of pleasure. I adore her, and she's given me a wonderful life. We've been married 20 years. And we were together for a few years before that. And she has given me the great years of my life, personally. She's a great companion and a great wife. She has given me a stable and wonderful home life and great companionship," he says. "I guess whenever you meet somebody and they're the right person for you, there is a great emotional contribution they make to your life." Pressed over whether she's changed him, he asks, "Changed me? I don't know if you could say she changed me. I don't know if I've changed. I might be the same person I was when I was 20. I'm not sure. I mean, I seem to have the same habits, the same work habits, the same phobias, the same enjoyments. I don't think I have changed much over the years at all. When you mention it, I try and think about the ways [I've changed]. I don't know if I've changed much." (Eonline)

Sarah Paulson Thinks People Should Be Able to Love "Whomever You F--king Well Please." Sarah Paulson is ready to talk about love! Almost three months after the actress confirmed she is dating Holland Taylor, the American Horror Story star is opening up about romance and making it clear that anyone can find a connection with who they want. "I believe that everyone should be allowed to speak their truth and just say what they want to say and show the world who they are," she confessed in the new issue of NO TOFU magazine. "You should be able to love whomever you f--king well please." The declaration comes after the actress has received plenty of headlines about her romantic life. Ever since kissing Broadway actress Cherry Jones at the 2005 Tony Awards, Sarah found much more people caring about her significant others. "She won a Tony Award, I kissed her, and all of a sudden I was outed. I didn't really think about it in that way at the time -- I was just doing what one would do when a person they love has just won a big fat acting prize," she explained to the publication. "What am I gonna do, pat her on the back and say 'good job, dude?' It didn't occur to me to do anything but what I did." In the honest interview, Sarah admitted that the moment happened just before she started filming scenes for her new TV series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. At first, the actress worried that the famous kiss would jeopardize her position with the show. Fortunately, series creator Aaron Sorkin was more than supportive. "On my very first day, when we met to do the table read for Studio 60, Aaron walked right up to me and says, 'I didn't know you were with Cherry Jones, that's so wonderful. I just want you to know that you're safe here. You never have anything to worry about. You're safe here,'" Sarah recalled. "It was the biggest exhale of my life. I didn't realize how anxious about it I had been until he said that." As for her most recent role as prosecutor Marcia Clark in American Crime Story, Sarah can't help but acknowledge that her love life in the public eye may have helped her connect to the lawyer. "I couldn't help but feel a kind of kinship in terms of being looked at," she explained. "But there was so much celebration about my relationship. So much so that I thought: Jesus, did everyone just assume I was going to be alone forever with 500 cats?" (Eonline)

We love a new blossoming celebrity relationship, and if rumors are to be believed, we ought to get very excited about Kristen Stewart being spotted with Miley Cyrus's ex-girlfriend Stella Maxwell. According to reports, Kristen and Stella partied together after the Met Gala on Monday night - and were spotted "leaving together". We're not jumping to any conclusions here, we're not even sure K-Stew is single. There have been reports that she and her girlfriend Soko have split, but we have zero clue. The Met Gala would have been one majorly awkward event for K-Stew - let's remember that her ex-fiancee was there with his new fiance, FKA twigs. Liberty Ross was also in attendance with her new husband - in 2012, Kristen was pictured snogging Liberty's husband Rupert Sanders - while she was dating Rob. (British Glamour)

Rumer Willis Slams Photographer for Photoshopping Her Jaw Line: ''It Is a Form of Bullying.'' Rumer Willis would like to be shown just the way she is, thankyouverymuch. The celeb recently took to Instagram to share a photograph that was taken of her in hopes of urging others to take it down. We know, that doesn't exactly make sense off the top, but we'll explain. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis oldest daughter alleges photographers Mark Williams and Sara Hirakawa digitally altered a photo they took of her and sisters Tallulah and Scout for a recent Vanity Fair shoot, giving her a smaller jaw without her knowledge. Willis continued to note that she wasn't properly represented by the picture because the photographer photoshopped her feature to the point where Rumer felt offended, and explained that altering someone's beauty is a form of bullying, something she will not condone in any way. "Any friends of fans of mine who posted this I would appreciate if you took it down," she captioned the picture on her social media page. "The photographer Photoshopped my face to make my jaw smaller and I find it really offensive for anyone to try and change the way you look so drastically." "I love the way I look and I won't support anyone who would feel a need to change the way I look to make me beautiful," she continued. "Whether or not they realize it, it is a form of bullying, which I won't stand for." Her post is nearing 7,600 likes on the photo-sharing app, and sparked support from fans, who commented on her picture with things like, "Agree @ruelarue you are beautiful just the way you are, and you should be proud of the way God made you. Thanks for making such a powerful statement against this issue," and, "Rumer your jaw defines you - strong and beautiful - you will be the Barbra Streisand of our generation...voice and acting talent, brains and beauty! xo." Willis opened up last year about feeling self-conscious about her appearance growing up. "When you grow up in the public eye the way that I did, everyone's looking at you and waiting for you to do something crazy or say something wrong or have a meltdown," the Dancing With the Stars champion recalls in Glamour magazine's July 2015 issue. "I was constantly bullied because of my looks, so I struggled a lot with my body image. I wanted to have no butt; I wanted to have no boobs." She adds, "For a long time I just wanted to look tiny and androgynous." Luckily, Willis began to embrace what others may label as a flaw and appreciate her personal beauty. "Let's allow ourselves to say, 'These are my flaws, but I'm still beautiful.' Let's find our own value, know what we have to offer -- and know that that is enough." (Eonline)

Singer Aubrey O'Day has pulled the plug on her relationship with "Jersey Shore" alum Paul "Pauly D" DelVeccio. The couple quickly started dating last year after meeting on E!'s ironically titled upcoming reality show "Famously Single," but a source close to O'Day tells Page Six that Pauly hasn't been faithful. "Someone anonymously sent Aubrey screen grabs of conversations Pauly was having with another other girl," explained the source. "It was clear he was being unfaithful so Aubrey broke it off." A source close to Pauly confirmed they split a few weeks ago, but says the DJ "was never totally serious about their relationship." Although romantic snaps of Pauly, 35, and O'Day, 32, still appear on her Instagram page, he has deleted all photos with the Danity Kane songstress from his account. Reps for Pauly and O'Day did not immediately respond to requests for comment. (Page Six)

Prince Died Day Before He Was Supposed to Meet With an Addiction Doctor: Report. Prince died one day before meeting with a California doctor who specializes in addiction, according to a new report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The "Purple Rain" singer was allegedly suffering from an addiction to pain killers and had representatives reach out to Dr. Howard Kornfeld, a national authority on opioid addiction treatment, because Prince was "dealing with a grave medical emergency," said William Mauzy, an attorney working with the Kornfeld family. But Kornfeld couldn't clear his schedule, so he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, in his place. Andrew works with his father at Recovery Without Walls in Mill Valley, Calif. Andrew was supposed to discuss how the confidential treatment plan would work, but when he arrived at Paisley Park the legendary singer couldn't be found. "The plan was to quickly evaluate his health and devise a treatment plan," Mauzy said to the Star Tribune, speaking on behalf of the Kornfelds. "...The doctor was planning on a lifesaving mission." Andrew and Prince were scheduled to meet Thursday, April 21, but when he arrived reps for the singer said he was nowhere to be found. It turned out Andrew would be one of three people who would be at the iconic residence when Prince's body was found; he immediately called 911. Because he wasn't familiar with the home, Andrew told the dispatcher, "We're at Prince's house." He didn't know the exact address. One day after Prince passed away, the medical examiner began his autopsy. She said results, which would also include toxicology, would take "several weeks." Authorities ruled out foul play and suicide. Recovery Without Walls is a "personalized outpatient clinic, specializing in innovative, evidence-based medical treatment for chronic pain and drug and alcohol addiction," according to the facility's website. Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud of the Carver County Sheriff's Department wouldn't specifically comment on whether investigators felt a drug overdose was possible, but did tell E! News, "We're continuing to investigate the circumstances of Prince's death. The ME will provide toxicology results with her findings. I expect it to be a few weeks before we have her report(s)."

Rapper 50 Cent has apologized after making fun of an airport employee who has autism. The "In Da Club" star posted a video of himself on Twitter teasing Andrew Farrell at Cincinatti/Northern Kentucky Airport, saying the janitor seemed "high as a motherf -- -r." The worker seems to ignore his remarks. It turns out Farrell, 19, has trouble communicating because of his condition. "While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man," the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, told Page Six in a statement. "It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community, which is a source of great strength in America. I have apologized personally to him and his family." While media reports suggest the family is demanding money in compensation for the slight, an attorney for the family said in an email obtained by Page Six that they would be satisfied by a "sincere apology." "The family only wants a sincere apology from Mr. Jackson," wrote attorney Matthew J. Hammer. "The Cincinnati area loves Mr. Jackson and his work and I think it can only be mutually beneficial if he is willing to offer an apology to Andrew and his family." (Page Six)

Blac Chyna's going on the offensive to block tricky strippers and schemers from cashing in on her good name. According to a trademark application filed last month ... BC's biz opportunities are exploding, so she's making sure she has the exclusive right to promote products with her name. Same goes for TV gigs, movie deals and party appearances. Sources connected to Chyna tell us the concern is some other chick -- stripper or otherwise -- coming along and using the "Blac(k) Chyna" moniker. The docs were filed just 2 weeks before she got engaged to Rob Kardashian, but we're told that's just coincidence -- it should've been done years ago. Chyna's attorney, Walter Mosley, tells us the filing was prompted by her getting multiple film, TV and endorsement offers that have piqued her interest -- and it's his job to make sure her name, likeness and intellectual properties are protected.

A published report says Prince had arranged to meet a California doctor to try to kick an addiction to painkillers shortly before his death. Attorney William Mauzy told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Prince representatives called Dr. Howard Kornfeld on April 20, the day before Prince died. Mauzy says he is representing the Kornfeld family. Mauzy says Kornfeld couldn't immediately meet Prince, so he sent his son Andrew to discuss treatment. Mauzy says it was Andrew Kornfeld who called 911 when Prince's unresponsive body was found in an elevator at Paisley Park, Prince's suburban Minneapolis compound. Mauzy and Howard Kornfeld haven't responded to messages from The Associated Press on Wednesday morning. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation has told AP that investigators are looking into whether Prince died from an overdose. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk about the investigation. (Page Six)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Prince Harry Wants to Make Princess Diana "Incredibly Proud." It's been more than 18 years since the tragic death of Princess Diana and her children, Prince Harry and Prince William, are determined to carry on her legacy. Diana, who was known for her humanitarian work worldwide, died in a car accident in Paris in 1997 when Harry was 12 and William was 15. "All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud," Harry, 31, told People in comments posted Wednesday. "That's all I've ever wanted to do." "When she died, there was a gaping hole, not just for us but also for a huge amount of people across the world," he added. "If I can try and fill a very small part of that, then job done. I will have to, in a good way, spend the rest of my life trying to fill that void as much as possible. And so will William." The prince made his comments at Kensington Palace just before he left for the 2016 Invictus Games in Orlando, which begin on May 8. Harry is a royal patron of the annual Paralympic-style sporting event for ill and wounded military servicemen and women and veterans from around the world. Both he and his brother work with many charities and humanitarian initiatives. "I hope that a lot of my mother's talents are shown in a lot of the work that I do," Harry told Good Morning America in March. In 2006, Harry co-founded the Sentebale organization in African kingdom of Lesotho. The group aims to help local children in need, including thousands affected by HIV and AIDS. Diana was known for her work to help promote HIV/AIDS awareness and made headlines when she was photographed meeting and even embracing patients, which many considered shocking at the time, as people were not as educated about the disease. Last December, Harry visited a hospital for HIV patients that the princess had supported and highlighted how his mother helped break the stigma around the illness when she kissed an AIDS patient there, BBC News reported. "I enjoy what I do. But I don't do things because I feel as though my mother would want me to do them," Harry told People. "I know I've got a lot of my mother in me. I am doing a lot of things that she would probably do." Like Diana, William, 33, supports the organization Centrepoint, which helps homeless youth, and the Child Bereavement U.K., a charity his mother helped launch in 1994. The group supports families when a child dies or is dying, or when a child is facing bereavement. "Twenty-one years ago last month, my mother attended the launch of the Child Bereavement Charity," William told reporters in October. "Fifteen years later, I was honored to be invited to become Patron of Child Bereavement UK to continue my mother's commitment to a charity which is very dear to me." "What my mother recognized back then, and what I understand now, is that grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure," he said. "As a father to two young children myself, I now appreciate it all the more." (Eonline)

Prince Harry is coming to the fairy-tale capital of the world-and he may just have a surprise for those expecting a fairy-tale prince. He tells PEOPLE in this week's exclusive cover story that children often don't believe he is a real-life prince because he doesn't always look the part. "Every time I get to meet kids and they have been told a real-life prince is coming, the disappointment on their faces when they see me without a crown or a cape... " he says with a smile. As he arrives in Florida Wednesday to play polo for his children's charity Sentebale before heading to Orlando for his paralympic-styleInvictus Games, he jokingly expressed concern about disappointing his youngest fans. "I'm worried because the American kids, especially next to Disney World, are going to be thinking, 'You ain't no prince, you ain't dressed like a prince, you're having a laugh!'" he said during a wide-ranging interview in Kensington Palace. "So I am going to pack a crown and a cape this time and some funny pointy-toed shoes," he cracks. "I'm going to sign the crown out!" He says he may try out the Magic Kingdom attractions-just as he did when he visited with brother Prince William and mother Princess Diana in 1994-and "maybe get my photograph with Mickey." The former Army captain, 31, is eager to bring Invictus to America. The wounded servicemen and women who compete, "do not want sympathy," he says. "They view it as an opportunity to put on a show to all those people who have supported them." But he recognizes that London's inaugural Games of 2014 are a tough act to follow: "It's like trying to drop a second album. The second one is always harder! This is what America feels like for a lot of us who planned London. This is the big one." (People)

Kate Middleton Recycles Michael Kors Coat for Magic Garden Opening. Kate Middleton got down and dirty in a sandbox while opening a new playground at Hampton Court Palace. On grounds that used to be used for medieval sports such as jousting, the new Magic Garden features a 25-foot-long dragon and several slides. The project took six years to build, but Wednesday morning it was ready for a group of school children to start playing on it. Middleton, parents to Prince George and Princess Charlotte, told the group of young kids that her son might be afraid of the dragon. Even though the weather was fairly warm, the Duchess opted for one of her favorite items of clothing: a Michael Kors coat. Known for occasionally recycling her outfits, Middleton wore this item back in 2014 when she attended an Anzac Day remembrance service. The coat retailed for $2,995 at the time. She paired her look with nude shoes and a matching clutch, both designed by L.K. Bennett. While at the event, Middleton met a group of kids but talked to 8-year-olds Elodie and Olivia. "She asked us what lessons we were missing and how school is," Elodie told the Daily Mail. "She said George would love the dragon but he would be a bit scared." Young Olivia couldn't get over how royal Middleton looked. "It was very exciting," she added. "She looked like a very rich lady." Both girls attend St John the Baptist Junior School. Middleton is also expected to attend a short reception at the historic royal residence where she will unveil a plaque to commemorate the garden's official opening. Later she will begin her first engagement as the newly announced patron of the Anna Freud Centre, a mental-health facility for children. Mental health has been one of the royal's primary causes. Recently she, Prince Harry and Prince William launched a PSA to bring more awareness for mental health. (Eonline)

In the last 25 years, Red Nose Day-created by Emmy Award-winner Richard Curtis-has raised more than $1 billion globally. (People)

Welcome to modern romance in a tech world: Alex Rodriguez and his new girlfriend, entrepreneur Anne Wojcicki, arrived at the Met Gala in the same car as her ex-husband, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and his girlfriend, Nicole Shanahan. Our source said, "Alex and Anne arrived with Sergey and Nicole but were sure to be photographed separately. They all hung out, then they left together. They are all good friends." Brin and 23andMe founder Wojcicki divorced in 2015 after eight years of marriage. They have two children, but in 2013, the pair separated, and Brin reportedly had a relationship with another woman at Google, Amanda Rosenberg, which was said to have "blindsided" Wojcicki.

Brin has been dating Shanahan, the founder and CEO of patent-technology company ClearAccesIP, for at least a year. She told Humans of New York Web site creator Brandon Stanton of Brin, "He lets me pick food out of his teeth." (Page Six)

She really is a down-to-earth Duchess! Kate Middleton not only opted against posing for British Vogue in anything remotely resembling royal regalia, she even drove herself to the shoot, and showed up in rollers! The stunning issue, which hits newsstands May 5, reveals just how laid back the 34-year-old royal was as she arrived for her photo session, and how she put everyone working on the issue completely at ease. On arrival at the shoot, Prince William's wife joked with the magazine staff about what anyone who had spotted her and her unfinished hairdo must have be thinking. She laughed at "how she must have appeared to anyone who saw her driving in the car in her rollers,'" Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman said. And rather than parade in her royal finery, Middleton was very eager to make sure the shoot reflected her "private existence," opting to be photographed in jeans, shirts and T-shirts. As Us Weekly reported previously, the Duchess of Cambridge is photographed in a brown suede coat and wide-brimmed hat, sourced from a London vintage shop, for her cover photo. Inside the magazine she poses for a number of other shots, including one in which she wears a pair of cute denim overalls. Middleton took the opportunity to talk to the experts about her own blossoming love of photography. "From taking photographs of George and Charlotte, I have been struck by the wonderful lack of self-consciousness that you see in photographs of children," she told the publication, "without the self-awareness that adults generally feel." And Shulman paid tribute to her royal photography subject, revealing that the brunette beauty "posed uncomplaining, often in a thin cotton shirt" in the chilly Norfolk location. She added that Middleton, who usually does her own makeup, was quite relaxed about allowing Vogue makeup artist Sally Branka free rein, "scarcely even checking herself in the mirror afterwards."

The rapper was 2 songs deep Sunday at the Drai's Animal House party at The Cromwell when he just banged too hard. Kelly powered through the pain, and ending up jumping off a balcony into the pool. And he didn't even drop the mic. (TMZ)

Here's More Proof Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen Are the Friendliest Exes Ever (Hello, Sarah Silverman!) There was plenty of love and friendship to go around at the L.A. premiere of Love & Friendship. Kate Beckinsale, who stars in the adaptation of the Jane Austen comic novella Lady Susan, was joined at the screening by her ex Michael Sheen and his girlfriend Sarah Silverman. "I love her. I love her. I love her," Beckinsale told me about Silverman. "I am so glad Michael found her so I don't have to spend the rest of my life looking for her!" As soon as Silverman saw Beckinsale on the carpet, she turned to Sheen and gasped, "Oh, my God!" We imagine it had something to do with how stunning Beckinsale looked in her body-hugging black Thierry Mugler dress and sky-high heels. In Love & Friendship, Beckinsale plays Lady Susan Vernon Martin, a young widow in 1790s determined to land a new husband for herself and one for her daughter. The film is a reunion for Beckinsale and her co-star Chloe Sevigny and their The Last Days of Disco director Whit Stillman. Stillman wrote Love & Friendship with Beckinsale in mind to play Lady Susan. He did the same when he wrote Last Days of Disco back in 1998. "I'll tell you what, he kept that quiet until afterwards which was a smooth and sneaky move so I never felt too comfortable because I just thought I was this random English girl and had no business being there," Beckinsale said. "I love that he has this love of dames [and] broads like Barbara Stanwyck and Bette Davis. He knows how to write those parts. They're those kind of women who you're like, 'She's terrible -- but I want to see more of her.'" Love & Friendship is in theaters on May 13. (Eonline)

Kylie Jenner Is the ''New Marilyn Monroe'' -- ''If She Does Something, It Becomes the New Thing.'' Is Kylie Jenner the new Marilyn Monore? Botched doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif seem to think so! During an exclusive interview with E! News' Maria Menounos and Jason Kennedy, the Botched doctors explained that, like Marilyn before her, whenever Kylie does something it "becomes the new thing." "Which star or celebrity do your patients want to look like the most?" Jason asks the doctors in the video. "The only thing that we hear now is Kylie Jenner's lips," Paul reveals. The hosts then play a game with the doctors where they create "the perfect female feature-wise." "Whose boobs would you say are the best if we're going to create this person?" Maria asks. "Is it Sofia Vergara, Katy Perry or Scarlett Johansson?" While Paul picks his "crush" Katy, Terry picks his "hall pass" Scarlett! When it comes to eyes, the doctors both pick Megan Fox. But for the nose Paul picks Jennifer Lawrence while Terry picks Kate Middleton. The doctors are then asked to pick between Angelina Jolie, Kylie and Julia Roberts for best lips and the doctors both pick Kylie. "I'm gonna say Kylie, to me she's the new Marilyn Monroe," Terry says. "She is the needle mover of plastic surgery, if she does something, it becomes the new thing." Take a look at the video to find out what else the doctors said about Kylie and what they revealed about the upcoming Botched season! Plus see which star the doctors think has the best booty in Hollywood! (Eonline)

Tupac's mother guarded his music and financial legacy in life, and TMZ has learned Afeni Shakur took extraordinary steps to do the same in death. Afeni had set up a trust to control all of Tupac's music rights, and a rep for his estate tells us the paperwork is flawless. She also named the perfect executor, Tom Whalley -- former head of Warner Bros. Records -- to handle Tupac's valuable catalog. We're told the trust is very specific about heirs, and the money is going to select charities and family. Afeni is survived by her sister, Gloria, and a daughter, Sekyiwa Shakur ... Tupac's half-sister. Her estranged husband, Gust Davis, is not mentioned in the trust -- so Tupac's money and music will be virtually untouchable in that divorce. Interestingly, Tupac's mother was repped by attorney Howard King, who also worked with Prince years ago. He says Prince hated dealing with paperwork and rarely listened to advisors, but Afeni was the exact opposite -- which is why there shouldn't be any legal battles over Tupac's fortune. (TMZ)

Patton Oswalt still vividly remembers the first time he laid eyes on his wife Michelle McNamara, whom he met May 20, 2003 after performing at Largo, a club in Los Angeles. "During my routine, I admitted to my weakness for Irish women, how they were my Kryptonite. And after the show she was walking out with the crowd and she touched my left arm and said, 'Irish girls, nice!'" Oswalt tells PEOPLE in this week's issue, where he pays tribute to his wife, who died unexpectedly in her sleep April 21 at age 46. "I was so stunned by how beautiful she was that I let her walk away," he says. A friend told Oswalt, "Go out and talk to her, dummy,"-and he did, running out to the street to catch her and ask for her phone number. "It was love pretty much immediately for me. I think it took a few months for her," says Oswalt. "But it must've turned to love pretty solidly because by September she'd moved in with me. She took a leap on my behalf for which I'm forever grateful." They were married two years later in 2005 and welcomed a daughter, Alice, in 2009. When she wasn't doting on Alice, McNamara devoted herself to crime writing and pursuing leads for cold cases. She was working on a book about a serial killer she dubbed the Golden State Killer, and she believed she was close to discovering the identity of the murderer, who was active in the '70s and '80s. Oswalt says his wife helped him realize that things about himself he thought were weaknesses were actually strengths. "Patience instead of ambition. Wonder instead of envy. Humility and humor instead of ego and defensiveness. I definitely became a better comedian because of how she opened me up to the world and to myself," says Oswalt. The couple's 7-year-old daughter, Alice, is remembering her mother in her own way. "When your mom dies you're the best memory of her," Alice said, according to a tweet Oswalt shared Sunday. "Everything you do is a memory of her." Oswalt, 47, is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support he and Alice have received in the days since McNamara's death, crediting their friends and family for getting them through. "They have-with no exaggerating-saved my life. Saved my daughter's life. And crystalized Michelle's memory into a flame that warms rather than burns," says Oswalt. "I will never, ever be able to repay her and my family's generosity and my friend's selflessness. It's beyond me being able to articulate except to say an awed, 'Thank you.'" (People)

So we all know that Tom Cruise is real heavy into Scientology, just like we all know that Scientology is a no good, very bad "religion," and we also know that Tom is said to be super close with David Miscavige, the head of the Church. But Ron Miscavige, David's father and a former Scientologist himself, has that book coming out, that memoir/tell-all/whatever you want to call it, and he's got some pretty creepy details about Tom's involvement with the Church, and with his son. And when we say the details are creepy, we mean creepy. According to Ron, Tom started doing some auditing, a kind of wacky therapy that Scientology is all about, and taking some courses back in 1990. David took an interest in Tom -- probably he was a big "Top Gun" fan -- and tried to develop a friendship with him. Not for any innocent reason, but because "the time they spent together obviously left David deeply impressed with the PR potential that Cruise could lend to Scientology. And to Dave." So that's a good basis for any relationship. But poor Dave was a bit concerned because Tom's first wife, Mimi Rogers, had a father that had left the Church, an act that is basically the most evil thing a person can do. As Ron writes, "David desperately wanted to get matters under tighter control - that is his control, and one of his top lieutenants had arranged to bring Tom to the base for a stay and some auditing." David went all out for the get-together, but Tom was several hours late and when he got there, he told David that he'd rather just go to bed. And that's when David "hit the roof." Temperamental David finally pulled himself together though, and the next day he and Tom started to become bros. "I did not see them interact much," Ron writes, "but I have been told that they developed a sort of brotherly competitive spirit, each trying to outdo each other. One time they allegedly raced through Los Angeles in separate cars, running red lights, each trying to beat the other to their destination." Because David has an "obsession with winning at all costs." Gross. All that makes it pretty clear that poor Tom Cruise was slowly and carefully drawn into Scientology, that perhaps he thought he was making a friend and doing some new-fangled self-help stuff, when really he was being groomed to be the celebrity face of this organization. It all feels kind of predatory, the way Tom was courted, and if we ever had any warm and fuzzy feelings about Scientology -- LOL we would never -- they'd certainly be gone now. (Fishwrapper)

Taco Bell's Newest Menu Item Has One Ridiculous Ingredient That Will Leave You Questioning Everything. Oh, Taco Bell. You beautiful hot mess, you. Forget Beefy Crunch Burritos; T-Bell just rolled out a new menu item called the Jalapeno Popper Quesarito. Like many of their shock-inducing new additions, it appears to be in the testing phase. If you can book a ticket to Charlotte, North Carolina, Brand Eating says you'll find one there. A play on the regular Quesarito, the new dish apparently includes jalapenos and cheese that sit between two tortillas. Look forward to filling of rice, nacho cheese and crispy jalapenos. You can choose from a ground beef or steak version as well. Oh, there's one more ingredient we need to mention. For some unexplained and ridiculous reason, Taco Bell decided this hunk of chunk burrito needed "reduced fat sour cream." Because being low-cal is the primary function of this burrito, right? Excuse us while we fall to the floor in unstoppable laughter. The thought was sweet and all, but when you're going this big, why act like reduced fat anything is going to make a difference? It's kind of like ordering a triple cheeseburger with a Diet Coke, you know? Hashtag pointless. Although, if it makes a national debut, we're not going to complain. (Eonline)

Celine Dion to Receive Icon Award at 2016 Billboard Music Awards and Give First TV Performance Since Husband's Death. Five months after her husband's tragic death, Celine Dion is slated to perform on live television once again. The 10-time Billboard Music Award winner will be honored with the ceremony's supreme Billboard Icon Award, previously gifted to only four other musical legends -- Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, the late Prince and Jennifer Lopez. In addition to accepting the accolade, the 48-year-old mother of three will take the stage at the T-Mobile Arena on May 22 to perform an all too fitting rendition of Queen's "The Show Must Go On." "I think at this moment in her life, the song has many meanings and it's an amazing choice," executive producer Mark Bracco said in a statement released Wednesday. Much like the songstress' famous ballad, many new days have come since the passing of her husband Rene Angelil, whom she married over two decades ago. However, Dion had known him even longer, meeting the music producer for the first time when she was only 12 years old. Four years after they wed in 1999, he was diagnosed with throat cancer and battled the illness on and off until his untimely death in January. While it has been a deeply painful time for Dion and her three sons, she has carried on with her Las Vegas residency as a tribute to his endless support of her music. "I understood that my career was in a way his masterpiece, his song, his symphony," a message read during a show a month after he passed. "The idea of leaving it unfinished would have hurt him terribly. I realized that if he ever left us, I would have to continue without him, for him." "We will always be one," a video message during the show continued. "You know, I might not hear his voice yet, but I talk to him, I think of him all the time. I feel and I know he hears me." Ludacris and Ciara will host the annual awards show on Sunday, May 22 at 8 p.m. (Eonline)

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Are Going to Perform Their New Duet on The Voice. Set your DVRs, people! Blake Shelton has just announced that he's going to take the stage with his ladylove Gwen Stefani during next week's episode of The Voice to perform their highly anticipated (and unreleased) duet off of his new album. "SOOO.... I'm performing next week on @NBCTheVoice. I'm performing with @gwenstefani. We're performing a song off my album we wrote together," the country singer tweeted, and we're already counting down the days! Rumors swirled about a possible collaboration between the lovebirds for quite some time, until the No Doubt singer confirmed the exciting project back in April. Stefani took to Twitter at the time to share a picture of the back of her country beau's album, revealing the track list and therefore confirming the duet. "Look what I found lying round the house," she wrote before adding, "#ispymyname #goaheadandbreakmyheart." Stefani talked to E! News about the single while chatting with us at the Radio Disney Music Awards, where she was honored with the Hero Award. "I am excited because I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write a song with that guy," she joked. "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." In November, just days after the couple confirmed their relationship, we found out they had also started working in the studio together. At the time, a source told People magazine they had written a mid-tempo country ballad in which Blake returns to his "real country" roots. The insider also complimented Gwen, noting, "It's amazing how good she sounds on a pretty country song." Though it's unclear if the duet on this album is the same song, the source did note that the ballad was written about telling a lover to leave a relationship if that's what he or she really wants. Blake Shelton's album, If I'm Honest, drops May 20. (Eonline)

Jay Z is squeezing out his own lemonade. An insider reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that the rap icon, 46, is recording songs that will reveal his version of events surrounding the rough patch in his eight-year marriage to Beyonce. "Jay is working on an album telling his side of things," explains a source close to the couple. On April 23, Queen Bey, 34, shocked fans with the HBO video special and album Lemonade, addressing long- -- standing rumors about her husband's fidelity with lyrics like "This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this s t again / You gon' lose your wife." During the 60- -- minute art film, the Houston native lays bare a deeply personal journey of betrayal and reconciliation, culminating with a final image of her and her husband. Some insist the film is not autobiographical. "People want to make it about her," her dad and former manager, Mathew Knowles, tells Us. "Maybe she dug deep and made it about something we all could relate to." But insiders say the "Sorry" singer's words speak her truth. "The album says it all," notes a source close to the couple. "It explains how she and Jay got through their problems. The good outweighed the bad, so she gave him a second chance." Insiders say the parents of 4-year-old Blue Ivy nearly split in 2014 after the infamous Elevatorgate incident. In May 2014, TMZ leaked footage of Beyonce's sister, Solange Knowles, attacking Jay Z in an NYC elevator at a Met Gala afterparty. At the time, sources told Us, Solange flipped because the rapper had been flirting with one of his alleged conquests, designer Rachel Roy. (She has denied any wrongdoing.) The Ivy Park clothing company cofounder contemplated divorce at the time, according to an insider. But now the pair are "better than ever," says the source close to the couple. For more on Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage -- including new details on Elevatorgate, the threat that "freaked" out Jay Z and who served as Beyonce's de facto therapist -- check out the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

No beer in Mexico this time! Country superstar Kenny Chesney's new song "Noise" isn't a breezy beach tune. It's a comment on all the white noise in our lives -- and the video reflects that. He tells Us Weekly what inspired the lyrics and accompanying visuals for the track. The "Noise" video opens with Chesney singing in the foreground while multiple images -- including pictures of Kourtney Kardashian, Donald Trump, runway models, plastic surgery, cartoons and much more -- rapidly flash across the screen behind him. "It ain't nothing but noise," Chesney repeats throughout the song. "We had snake handlers, fashion shows, talking head newscasters, type falling into words, clocks sweeping, Richard Nixon, Botox, wrecking balls, vintage things, a Kardashian, all building to that crescendo [leading up to the end of the video]," Chesney, 48, explains. "For me, it was easy: Get in front of the green screen and try to bring that emotion to the performance." Chesney, who released his last studio album, The Big Revival, in 2014, explains his mission to Us. "This is a song I really feel ... It was written from a threshold moment in my life, so it's not hard to get to that place when I'm singing. I know what this song is about, and all I had to do was tap into it," he says. "That was the point: to get it to where, in that three minutes, you felt all that urgency. All that being overtaken by the random sensory stuff that floods us every day." The final moments of the video conclude with a few more organic scenes: frolicking on the beach, enjoying the view from a hot air balloon ride, reaching the peak of a mountain with glorious outstretched arms and more. "We created an ending to suggest how to undo [the noise]," Chesney tells Us. "To give you a pause and a breath and a refuge. I can't say those final images, which you notice linger a little longer on the screen, are the answer, but I think they will lead you to a place of more peace." (US Weekly)

Kanye West Hints at New Tour, Talks Taylor Swift & Britney Spears. Kanye West is feeling The Force. The superstar rapper is so confident his tour in support of The Life of Pablo will be a blockbuster, he's identified Star Wars as a point of reference. Speaking on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, West revealed his next trek is taking shape. And it'll be epic. "You know, my tour game is strong," he told the host. "We're going to go out in September, I believe. We're just working on some of the ideas right now. I'm trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me. The way, when I first saw the original Star Wars, it's that conversation." The "living breathing changing creative expression" that is The Life of Pablo hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last month, becoming Kanye's seventh album to do so. In his 20-minute chat with Harvey, Kanye talked about how the collaborative opening track "Ultralight Beam" came about ("we were just blessed to be in the room at the right time when the 'Ultralight Beam,' it just came through us"), his love of fashion, and his dislike for critics. "You've got critics, and then you've got artists," he said. "I'd kick a critic out the studio. I didn't read one review of my fashion show, I didn't read one review on the Life of Pablo." The only reviews he cares for are those from the fans. The hip-hop artist was typically energetic as his thoughts bounced from his source of inspiration ("dreams and purpose"), his parents (a year spent in China with his mom apparently helped him develop and reach his potential) and becoming a parent himself. "I really want to really stress the amount of respect that I have for parents. And that there is no concept of anyone beating up on someone else's child or that type of concept," said West, in what will be interpreted as another apology for engaging in a Twitter row with his ex-Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa and the child the pair share. "So every day I actually feel more deeply, deeply, deeply apologetic about that concept, because I only want to put out positive, positive, positive concepts." Kanye also had a stream of consciousness moment in which he covered "that situation" with Taylor Swift, racists and Britney Spears' head shaving incident. (Billboard)

Drake Headed to U.K. Charts Double Play. Though his Toronto Raptors took a tough loss Tuesday night in his hometown, Drake is headed toward a double-double on the U.K. sales charts. The Views rapper is poised to both the Albums chart and the Official Singles Chart Update tally with "One Dance." "Dance," (Cash Money/Republic Records) which hit No. 1 last week, was leading the singles list at midweek with 64,000 combined chart sales and Views is out front on the Official Albums Chart Update side, outselling Beyonce's Lemonade by two-to-one at present. If he's able to hold on until the final chart is published this Friday, Drake will be the first artist to nab a singles/album double play since Sam Smith did it in 2015 with "Lay Me Down" and In The Lonely Hour. The current albums chart doesn't reflect the Drake ascension yet, with late music icon Prince continuing to dominate the top 5 with The Very Best Of (Warner Bros., No. 1),Ultimate (Warner Bros., No. 2), Purple Rain (Paisley Park, No. 3), The Hits/The B-Sides(Paisley Park, No. 4) and Sign O' The Times (Paisley Park, No. 5). Other new faces on the Albums charts are Billy Ocean's The Best Of (Sony Music, No. 4), Travis 'Everything At Once (Caroline Distribution, No. 5) and Tremonti's Dust (Fret12 Records, No. 10). Major competition for Drake on the Singles chart comes from the new single from Calvin Harris and Rihanna, "This Is What You Came For," (Sony Music/Westbury Road) which is hanging at No. 2, marking Rihanna's 28th Top 10 single and Harris' 20th. In a near parallel to her domination of the Hot 100 in the U.S. -- where all 12 of the Lemonade tracks debuted on the chart -- Beyonce looks to land 7 tracks in the Top 40, one more than last week's total. "Daddy Lessons" (Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records) comes in at No. 31, joining "Hold Up" (No. 5), "Formation" (No. 16), "Sorry" (No. 19), "6 Inch" (No. 25), "Don't Hurt Yourself" (No. 26) and "Freedom" (No. 32). Climbing singles include DJ Snake's "Middle" (Interscope/Mad Decent, No. 11), Little Mix's "Hair" (Columbia Records/Syco, No. 12) and Disturbed's "Sound of Silence" (Reprise/Warner Bros., No. 17).

Alicia Keys Shares Latin-Infused New Single 'In Common': Listen. Alicia Keys has shared "In Common," her first single in four years. The track, which dropped overnight across all digital platforms, is lifted from Keys' sixth studio album, slated for release later this year on RCA Records. Written by Keys, Illangelo, Tayla Parks, Billy Walsh and produced by Illangelo, "In Common" showcases the multi-Grammy winner's R&B chops with a tropical vibe and a subtle, Latin beat. "We used to talk 'til midnight/All those days that you stayed at my house/We were just passing the time/When we were young and we ain't had no vows," sings Keys in a hushed tone. Keys had promised new music would materialize this month. She recently told reporters "you're definitely going to hear some new music" when she performs at the May 28 UEFA Champions League Final in Italy, and she's booked to appear on SNL this weekend.

Adele Congratulates English Premier League Winners Leicester City: 'The Best F---ing Story Ever'. Fairytales are rarely as magical as Leicester City's improbable romp to the English Premier League title. And it's a fact not lost on Adele.

Leicester sealed its title on Monday night when second-placed Tottenham Hotspur drew with Chelsea, meaning no team could outrace the leader before season's end. Adele, a Tottenham supporter, was happy with second-best. She tweeted, "Proud of you Spurs! But Leicester... What an inspiration, the best fucking story ever! Congratulations!!!!" (Billboard)

Universal Stakes Out Release Date for Third Monster Movie. Since Universal doesn't have a stable of superheroes, it's looking to its library of monsters to create a sweeping franchise; Tom Cruise is set to star in 'The Mummy,' while Johnny Depp has signed up for 'The Invisible Man.' Universal has staked out a third release date for one of its monster universe event movies -- Feb. 15, 2019 -- but isn't revealing the title. The studio's ambitious plan to revive and reimagine its classic library kicks off on June 9, 2017, when The Mummy starring Tom Cruise hits theaters. Producers Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan are leading the initiative. Universal had previously set a second untitled monster movie for April 13, 2018. One movie that's in the running for 2018 or 2019 is The Invisible Man. In February, Johnny Depp closed a deal to star in the reboot. The studio has a writers room with elite scribes, overseen by Kurtzman and Morgan, who are tackling reboots of the entire line of Universal's classic monsters; sources say Ed Solomon, best known for writing Men in Black and Now You See Me, is writing Invisible Man. Universal also is pursuing Phantom of the Opera and Creature From the Black Lagoon, according to insiders. (Hollywood Reporter)

Snoop Dogg Performs Bob Marley Song and Showcases Reggae Dance Moves on Lip Sync Battle. Snoop Dogg takes on the one and only late reggae legend Bob Marley on Lip Sync Battle this week. For one of his songs on the Spike TV show, the rapper performed Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1980 hit "Could You Be Loved." Sporting a Rastacap and dreadlocks, Snoop Dogg also showcased his reggae dance moves. In 2013, the rapper released his first reggae album, Reincarnated, under the name Snoop Lion, and announced he had embraced Rastafarianism. "The reason why my album is called Reincarnated [is] 'cause I always felt that I was Bob Marley reincarnated," Snoop told Larry King. "So the whole purpose of the record was to bring him back to life and to keep his likeness alive through the great music that he made and try to keep the same spirit alive." "[Snoop Dogg] was really studying Bob Marley," co-producer Diplo told MTV News. "He likes to have the female backing vocals, and it's a real Marley-esque vibe." On Lip Sync Battle, the rapper faced off against Chris Paul. The Los Angeles Clippers star performed New Edition's 1983 hit "Candy Girl" as one of his tracks. His teammate DeAndre Jordan and Houston Rockets forward Josh Smith attended the taping to cheer on their friend. Lip Sync Battle airs Thursdays at 10/9c on Spike TV. (Eonline)

David Hasselhoff and Ryan Newman are also set to return with new additions Gary Busey, Tommy Davidson, Imani Hakim, Cody Linley, Masiela Lusha and Cheryl Tiegs. Sharknado: The 4th Awakens airs Sunday, July 31 at 8 p.m. on Syfy. (Eonline)

The Mindy Project Renewed for a 5th Season! Find Out What Else Is Coming Back on Hulu. Praise be to Beyonce Pad Thai and Hulu, because The Mindy Project is coming back for another season! Hulu made all of our dreams came true last year when it saved the canceled Fox series from an early demise, giving it not only a fourth season, but an extra long fourth season of 26 episodes. Now it seems that the streaming site has no intention of giving up on Mindy anytime soon, since they're bringing her back for a fifth season! The Mindy Project is currently nearing the end of its fourth season as Mindy (Mindy Kaling) deals with her break-up with baby daddy Danny (Chris Messina), and works on getting her egg freezing business, Later Baby, off the ground. While fans have been incredibly worried about Mindy and Danny after this rocky season that found them splitting up over their very different views on raising their son, Leo, Kaling assured us that the journey will be worth it. "What we'll say is we never want to take them on a path that's going to short change them," Kaling said. "They should feel safe with us." The news comes along with Hulu's annual Upfront presentation, where it was also announced that the cult drama, The Path, has been renewed for a second season. The Path, which centers on the members of a fictional religion called Meyerism, stars Aaron Paul, Michelle Monaghan, and Hugh Dancy, and is currently in the middle of its first season after debuting at the end of March. Hulu's other upcoming projects include a second election special with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, which will debut later this year, and a partnership with Live Nation that will allow the site to present specially curated virtual reality concerts in Hulu's virtual reality app, which launched in March. New episodes of The Mindy Project arrive on Tuesdays, while The Path airs every Wednesday on Hulu. (Eonline)

Here's Your First Look at Lifetime's Center Stage Sequel (Yes, Peter Gallagher Is Back!) Attention, lovers of early '00s cinematic classic Center Stage: This is not a drill! Lifetime has made another sequel to the seminal dance movie and E! News has your first look at the new production, Center Stage: On Pointe. Before you start to worry, take a breath: Yes, Peter Gallagher is back as American Ballet Academy boss Jonathan Reeves, Sascha Radetsky is back as dancer (and now choreographer) Charlie, and Ethan Stiefel is back as cocky dancer-turned-choreographer Cooper Nielson (you know -- great choreographer, sucky boyfriend). Kenny Wormald and Nicole Munoz are also returning as their Center Stage: Turn It Up characters Tommy Anderson and Bella Parker, who were introduced in the 2008 made-for-TV outing. Lifetime is debuting the first promo for the new original movie during the night's episode of Dance Moms, which is appropriate considering it stars original Dance Moms cast member Chloe Lukasiak as a talented dancer competing for a slot at the American Ballet Academy. Here's the synopsis of the new film: Jonathan Reeves (Gallagher) is tasked with infusing more contemporary styles and modernism into the American Ballet Academy and enlists his top choreographers Charlie (Radestsky), Cooper (Stiefel) and Tommy (Wormald) to recruit dancers to compete at an intensive camp where the winners will be selected to join the Academy. Bella Parker (Munoz), who has always lived in the shadow of her hugely successful sister Kate, finally gets her chance to step into the limelight as one of the dancers selected for the camp. Lukasiak stars as Gwen, a talented dancer prodigy who competes at the camp. Watch the online video to watch the first promo, then tune in to Lifetime on June 25 for Center Stage: On Pointe.

Where In The Flash Multiverse Is Barry Allen? Maybe 2 New Speedsters Can Save Him. Where in the world is Barry Allen?! Actually, more accurately, where in The Flash's multiverse did our hero go?! At the very end of Tuesday night's episode, after waffling back and forth for pretty much the entire hour, Barry (Grant Gustin) and the S.T.A.R. Labs crew decided to recreate the circumstances of the particle accelerator explosion that gave him his powers in the first place. That was probably their only choice, since they'll only be able to defeat Zoom (Teddy Sears) if they have the Flash. But because nothing goes as planned on this show, the end result wasn't exactly as Harry Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and co. expected. Sure, it was contained and didn't spark the disaster that Evil Wells did, but at the end of the episode Barry was gone, his Flash suit was torn apart, and a mysterious force (speed force, perhaps?) struck Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) and Jesse (Violett Beane), leaving them passed out on the floor. SO MANY THINGS ARE HAPPENING! First of all, Wally and Jesse just became speedsters, right? (Right. They're finally fulfilling their destinies as laid out in the comics. Duh.) Second of all, WHERE IS BARRY?! The episode ended with Zoom informing everyone that they'd just killed Barry, but the preview for next week shows Barry seemingly in some alternate universe. One thing's for sure: He's not in Central City. So where the heck is he? And what the heck happened to him? No, we're asking you. We need some explanation! Obviously we can't lose Barry for good, because he's our hero and who the heck wants to watch the show without him? But we're gonna need some answers as to what actually went down here (and how the team is going to save him). The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW. Season two ends May 24. (Eonline)

'The Path' Renewed for Second Season at Hulu. The drama, from Jessica Goldberg and Jason Katims, stars Aaron Paul, Michelle Monaghan and Hugh Dancy. Hulu is staying course on The Path. The streaming service has renewed the Aaron Paul, Michelle Monaghan and Hugh Dancy drama for a second season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Picked up straight to series, The Path -- inspired by writer/showrunner Jessica Goldberg's personal spiritual journey -- hails from Universal Television and prolific producer Jason Katims (Parenthood). Based on a script Katims and his studio-based True Jack head of development Michelle Lee created with Goldberg last year, The Path examines a family at the center of a controversial faith-based movement struggling with relationships, marriage and power. Each hour-long episode will take an in-depth look at what it means to choose between the life we live and the life we want. (No, it's not Scientology.) The Path marks Hulu's latest ongoing scripted drama series and extends the streamer's relationship with Universal Television, which produces Fox import The Mindy Project and whose cable-focused arm handles Billy Eichner's Difficult People. The Path is also the latest collaboration for Goldberg with Katims and Lee following her two-season run on NBC family drama Parenthood. The streamer also has dramas Shut Eye, Chance and newly ordered The Handmaid's Tale. For Katims, meanwhile, The Path -- the Friday Night Lights alum's first streaming project -- comes as he has CBS drama pilot Bunker Hill in contention as well as Showtime anthology Mating.
