Empire's Kaitlin Doubleday Marries Devin Lucien! It's official -- they're married! Empire star Kaitlin Doubleday and longtime love DJ Devin Lucien tied the knot Friday during an intimate ceremony in Big Sur, Calif., E! News confirms. The newlyweds swapped vows outdoors in front of 140 of their closest friends and family members, with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop and gorgeous white flowers lining the aisle. Guests had to reach for their umbrellas due to the weather, but that didn't seem to put a damper on the happy occasion. Doubleday stunned in a beautiful Mark Zunino gown. The actress, who plays Rhonda Lyon on this hit Fox series, got engaged to Lucien last May in Paris. "I'm feeling incredibly excited about the weekend!" Kaitlin shared with E! News exclusively when describing her upcoming nuptials recently. "I can't believe that everyone I love is gonna be in the same room at the same time and I can't wait to celebrate and dance all night long!"

"We were going to get married at one of my best friend's homes in Connecticut, but because my dad is sick I don't want to take the chance he might not be doing well at that time," Kaitlin explained, adding that she has instead found a closer venue in California. "I decided on Big Sur because it's all the beautiful things I get from the East Coast and also far enough away we could make the weekend out of it." Let the party begin!

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian Already Know the Sex of Their Baby. There's some more exciting news that Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian have yet to reveal. Shortly after finding out that the couple are expecting their first child together, E! News has learned that the pregnant star is due in the fall, and that the pair already know the sex of the baby! But they're going to announce that little gem of information in their own special way. "They do know the sex of the baby and will reveal it soon enough," a source tells E! News, adding that the engaged couple, "are so happy about the news. Chyna wanted another baby and said if it happens, it happens." The insider continues, "Chyna is not done with having babies she wants more." As for how Blac is doing with the pregnancy, the source tells us, "Chyna had a bit of morning sickness and felt pretty tired but is doing OK. Rob and Chyna will be getting one of the rooms in his house all ready for the baby. Chyna told [son] King about his new sibling on the way. Tyga knows and gave Chyna and Rob healthy blessings. It's a happy time for the family." The Kardashians are also excited for the new addition. "They are happy for Rob." Blac Chyna's attorney also echoed similar sentiments when asked how the parents-to-be are feeling about the big news, telling E! News, "She is very happy and very excited." He added that Chyna was very sweet and coy when she revealed the pregnancy news with him. "It was a beautiful moment," he said. On Friday, the 27-year-old announced that she is pregnant with her second child, just weeks after revealing she was engaged to Rob. The parents-to-be shared the news within minutes of each other via Instagram, using an emoji of Blac rubbing her baby bump. In April, the duo announced their engagement in a similar fashion, as Blac shared a photo of herself wearing a massive diamond ring with the caption, "YES!...!...!" Perhaps they'll be following suit for the sex reveal? Emoji-watch has officially begun. (Eonline)

Brody Jenner is engaged to his girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter! The son of Caitlyn Jenner announced his happy news via Instagram in the early hours of Friday, May 6, sharing a very sweet photograph of himself and his new fiancee enjoying a tropical vacation, a bikini-clad Carter leaning across to kiss her beau on the cheek. "On May 4th 2016 I got engaged to my lover and best-friend," Brody, 32, captioned the revealing snap, evidently delighted. "I couldn't be more in love with this woman and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her." Carter shared a second photograph taken at the same moment but from a slightly different angle, although both shots clearly display her new piece of engagement bling. "This trip has been memorable for many reasons..." the she excitedly gushed, "happiest girl in the world!!!" The Sex With Brody star started dating Carter back 2014, but their relationship was considered too new for Kim Kardashian to offer her stepbrother a plus one to her wedding with Kanye West, resulting in him boycotting the event entirely. Since then, things have remained strained between the two branches of the Kardashian-Jenner family, and last year, while refusing to talk trash about his step-sisters, he did make the distance between him and them very clear in an interview with Yahoo Style. "I don't see them very often," Brody said of the Kardashian sisters. "I live out in Malibu, they live in Calabasas. To be honest, I don't even really know Kanye that well at all. I've really only met him one time," the Hills alum continued. "That's the one thing that people don't really understand is that we live two completely separate lives. And everybody ties us in together as the Kardashians and the Jenners. I mean, [Kris and Caitlyn] got a divorce, so they're not even technically my family anymore." (US Weekly)

It ain't over 'til it's over! Megan Fox may have filed for divorce from husband Brian Austin Green in August, but the couple are rethinking their split. "They are still figuring things out," a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. Last month, Fox and the actor, 42 -- who are expecting their third child together -- enjoyed a Hawaiian getaway at the site of their 2010 nuptials. Green had planned the trip to try to sway his estranged wife from going through with the divorce. While there, the two had a "serious talk" on the shoreline, an onlooker tells Us. "Brian seemed to be mostly listening while she spoke." As Us reported last month, the pregnant 29-year-old actress and Beverly Hills, 90210 alum are currently renting a house and living together in L.A.'s Bel Air neighborhood as they raise their two sons: Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actress debuted her baby bump at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 11, surprising fans with the pregnancy news. "They're both excited about the new baby and having it together," the pal tells Us. (US Weekly)

Ben Affleck has some good company in London while he films Justice League. His wife, Jennifer Garner, and kids Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4, have joined the actor across the pond while he works on the upcoming superhero movie due out on Nov. 17, 2017. "They are enjoying showing the kids London," a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. And the family is using their time abroad to travel around Europe. On Thursday, a Twitter user spotted Affleck, Garner and the kids waiting in line at the Amorino ice cream shop in Paris. Earlier in the week, another Twitter user posted that the family was spotted at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden for a Harry Potter studio tour in England. Since announcing their split in June, both Affleck and Garner have stressed they are moving forward by focusing on their children. In a March interview with the New York Times, Affleck told the newspaper that despite their public split, his family planned on joining him in Europe so they could vacation as a family. "We're doing our very best and we're putting our kids first and that's how we're focusing on our day-to-day lives," Affleck said on CBS This Morning in March. "We don't know what the future's going to hold, but each step that we take is one where we prioritize our children and everything else comes second." And while sources have said "there's no sign they're getting back together," this is far from the first time the former couple have come together for the kids since their split. Affleck and Garner spent Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas together, and even went on a vacation over Valentine's Day weekend. (People)

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne Split After More Than 33 Years of Marriage. It's over for Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne. The 67-year-old heavy metal rocker and the 63-year-old co-host of The Talk have broken up after more than 33 years of marriage, E! News has learned. A source tells E! News that the couple mutually agreed that Ozzy would move out of the house temporarily. In addition, the split has nothing to do with Ozzy's sobriety. Our insider shared that the rocker has been sober for three and a quarter years and has not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Ozzy and Sharon met in the early '70s when he rose to fame with the band Black Sabbath. She later became his manager. The two wed on July 4, 1982 and had three children -- Aimee Osbourne, 32, Kelly Osbourne, 31, and Jack Osbourne, 30. The family, minus Aimee, starred on the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes between 2002 and 2005. In 2013, Ozzy and Sharon started sparking divorce rumors. "Everything that has been printed in the tabloids has been distorted," Sharon assured fans on The Talk at the time. "There's always a little seed of truth to everything that gets reported, but then it gets very distorted." She made her comments a week after Ozzy wrote on Facebook, "Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing...I'm just trying to be a better person." He said he had been "drinking and taking drugs" but that he was 44 days' sober. "The only thing that's true was the Facebook posting that my husband did on his Facebook where he said he's been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year and a half...and that he has been in a very dark place," Sharon said on The Talk. "That's true. It's very true." (Eonline)

Alyssa Milano Shares the Sweetest Who's the Boss? Memory and Talks Inspiring Weight Loss. In Hollywood, it almost seems as though the stork really does deliver. That's the only reasonable explanation as to how so many female celebrities seemingly snap back to their pre-baby weight within weeks of delivering their little ones, right? Well, in reality, the pressure women in show business feel to look trim right after having a baby has plenty to do with it, leading celebs to seek out the best trainers and diet plans to help them shed pounds. Alyssa Milano, meanwhile, admits that the pressure to lose weight was "self-inflicted." "Any pressure I felt is from seeing other celebrities get down to their [pre]baby weight in two weeks," the actress, Project Runway All Stars host and mother of two with hubby Dave Bugliari told E! News' Will Marfuggi. "I just know, for me, that's just not in my make-up, biologically. There is no way I could have dropped all the baby weight in two weeks, I don't know how they do it!" She added, "It's exhausting, and the only thing you have really is food to get you through those first two months! Especially if you're breastfeeding, so hats off to [those other moms]." But happily, devotion to her new baby girl, Elizabella Dylan, and son Milo helped her focus on what was really important. "I was just so overwhelmed with being a mom and wanting to raise my kids and just look at them in total awe of like, 'I created this!'" she told us. Just saying', though, Milano's looking quite svelte these days, so how did she ultimately get back to what she calls her "happy weight"? "I gave myself 18 months. I reached my happy weight when my daughter was 18 months, and I did it through Atkins," the Mistresses star explained. "So I cut out sugars, carbs... I eat a little bit of carbs now, which, people think on Atkins you can't eat carbs, but you know, as long as you do it the right way." And "happy weight" is different from goal weight. "There are so many variables, you don't know what a goal weight is especially when you're 43 and you just had a baby, I don't know if I'm going to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight," Milano said. "I'm breastfeeding also, it's a big part of it, and so, I just call it my happy weight." Alyssa also works out diligently, going to spin class four to five times a week, Pilates three times a week, and the occasional Zumba class for fun. Over the past 18 months, Milano says that she has lost 55 pounds -- an achievement that would make anyone happy. In addition to talking about the now, the actress also threw it back to her Who's the Boss? days, recalling one of her favorite memories on set during the hit sitcom's eight seasons. "I remember turning 16 years old, my sweet 16 party, and [Tony Danza] gave me a beautiful diamond heart necklace," Milano recalled, "... and I still have it of course! That was incredibly special." The UNICEF Ambassador reveals she is still in touch with some of her former co-stars: Tony sweetly emails Milano asking for pictures of her kids, and she and Danny Pintauro talk at least once a week.

Kristen Bell wants you to know there's no shame in dealing with anxiety or depression. Sitting down for an interview on Off Camera with Sam Jones, the actress opened up about her struggle, admitting that she's suffers from both anxiety and depression and has done since a young age as it runs in her family. "I'm extremely co-dependent," Bell, 35, told Jones. "I shatter a little bit when I think people don't like me. That's part of why I lead with kindness and I compensate by being very bubbly all the time because it really hurts my feelings when I know I'm not liked. And I know that's not very healthy and I fight it all the time." Although the mother of two acknowledges her popularity in high school, she explained that she still always felt anxious on the inside; causing her to constantly mold her interests around what her classmates were interested in. Coming from a line of women who have suffered with mental illness meant early education for Bell, whose mother, a nurse, told her early on about her susceptibility to a "serotonin imbalance," after she watched her own mother-Bell's grandmother-suffer through bouts of binge drinking while locked in her bedroom. "[My mom's] a nurse and she had the wherewithal to recognize that in herself when she was feeling it and when I was 18 said, 'If you start to feel like you are twisting things around you, and you feel like there is no sunlight around you, and you are paralyzed with fear, this is what it is and here's how you can help yourself," Bell added. Despite there still being a stigma associated with mental illness, the Frozen star said she's not ashamed to ask for help when she needs it, and takes medication to keep her anxiety and depression in check. "If you do decide to go on a prescription to help yourself, understand that the world wants to shame you for that, but in the medical community, you would never deny a diabetic his insulin. Ever," she added. "But for some reason, when someone needs a serotonin inhibitor, they're immediately crazy or something." Aside from seeking medical help, Bell said during an April appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that motherhood has also made her more confident in her abilities to offer advice to others. "I'm so into health food and just healthy living that my girlfriends and my friends, I feel like, are a little bit over it," she said. "Because I'll walk into the room and be like, you guys, does everybody know about selenium?!" (People)

Sinead O'Connor Reacts to Arsenio Hall's $5 Million Lawsuit Over Prince and Drug Accusations. One day after Arsenio Hall filed a $5 million lawsuit against Sinead O'Connor, the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer is speaking out. "I'm more amused than I've ever dreamed a person could be and look forward very much to how hilarious it will be watching him trying to prove me wrong," she wrote to Entertainment Weekly before posting on her Facebook page. "I'm also very happy to notice that the DEA has taken me seriously enough to be thoroughly questioning all of Prince's friends and aides from the last thirty years as to his history of hard drug use and where he obtained his drugs. I do not like drugs killing musicians. And I do not like Arsenio Hall." The lawsuit came on the heels of Sinead posting a lengthy message on Facebook, where she accused Arsenio of supplying Prince with drugs and of "spiking" her "years ago" at his Coming to America co-star Eddie Murphy's home. "Desperate, attention-seeker Sinead O'Connor has maliciously published outlandish defamatory lies about comedian Arsenio Hall," the court documents state. "The malicious statements made by O'Connor are absolutely false and O'Connor's heinous accusations that Hall engaged in this criminal conduct are despicable, fabricated lies." Arsenio's lawsuit also states that he had "only minimal contact with O'Conner," most recently 25 years ago, and that since she posted "her malicious and reckless lies" about him on Facebook, they "have spread like wildfire across the media through the United States and the world, causing substantial harm to Hall's reputation." The court docs also claim O'Connor's "lies" expose Hall to "hatred, contempt, ridicule and obloquy" and/or cause him to be "shunned or avoided" and "have a tendency" to "injure" him in his occupation.

Bobby Brown Joins the Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Bobbi Kristina's Boyfriend Nick Gordon. The ongoing civil wrongful death lawsuit against Nick Gordon has added a new plaintiff -- Bobby Brown. E! News has confirmed through court documents that Bobbi Kristina Brown's father has joined the $10 million legal battle that alleges "Ms. Brown died due to a violent altercation with Defendant (Gordon) after which he placed her in a bathtub, unconscious, after he injected her with a toxic mixture." In August 2015, Bobbi Kristina's estate administrator, Bedelia Hargrove -- who was appointed a conservator while Bobbi Kristina was still alive -- filed an amended complaint against Gordon, alleging wrongful death along with the previous accusations that he had physically abused his girlfriend and stole nearly $11,000 from her bank accounts during her hospitalization. Gordon's attorney filed a response shortly after denying the most serious allegations put forth in the civil complaint. Gordon denied that he "perpetrated the fraud that he had married Bobbi Kristina" and used that "to control" her and "benefit from her wealth." The response noted: "Defendant admits he had several types of relationships with Ms. Brown and that Ms. Brown considered themselves married and held themselves out as such although they did not legally get married before her passing." Brown's addition to the lawsuit, which documents state occurred on May 4, comes on the heels of Hargrove filing a renewed motion for monetary sanctions and other relief against Gordon on grounds of his complete disregard of the court and lack of response. It also comes shortly after Gordon's candid interview on Dr. Phil, where he opened up about his former girlfriend's death. "It was literally a nightmare all over again," Gordon said, referencing how he discovered her unconscious in a bathtub, similar to how her mother Whitney Houston had died three years prior. E! News has reached out to Brown and Gordon's legal camps. (Eonline)

Prince's Family Planning Official Memorial Service as Death Investigation Continues. Prince's family says that despite reports, they have not yet held a memorial service for the pop and rock legend, but add that one is planned. The iconic musician was found dead at age 57 at his Paisley Park studios in Minnesota on April 21. The cause of his death remains under investigation. "We would like everyone to know that, contrary to previous and current reports, there has been no memorial, funeral or tribute service for Prince that was organized or authorized by the family or Paisley Park representatives," Prince's siblings said in a statement posted by outlets like ABC News. "Together, the family is planning an official memorial service and public event to take place in the near future." "Prince and his music influenced so many people that we feel inspired to celebrate his life and legacy in just the right way," the statement continued. "We appreciate the public's patience and have been comforted by your outpouring of love, support and condolences. We look forward to sharing with the world this celebration of, and farewell to, our Prince." Scores of fans flocked to the studios after news of his death and turned the outside fences and gates into a makeshift memorial, complete with flowers, signs and notes as well as purple balloons -- a nod to his nickname, "The Purple One." One of Prince's most famous singles was "Purple Rain." Two days after his death, several of Prince's siblings and other family members attended a private gathering inside Paisley Park. "Thank you for coming. Thank you for loving him," Prince's sisters Tyka Nelson told the fans. On Friday evening, thousands of fans gathered in downtown Los Angeles to attend a free tribute concert to Prince, which featured performances from his band, New Power Generation, as well as from Faith Evans and DJ R-TISTIC, who sampled several of the late star's hits, The Los Angeles Times reported, adding that Stevie Wonder and Aloe Blacc performed "Purple Rain." Sheila E, Prince's former drummer and fiancee, told E! News last month a public musical celebration in honor of the singer was being organized and that she will serve as its musical director. Soon after his death, Prince's family had his body cremated. Before that, an autopsy was performed. The medical examiner involved in the death investigation had said last month the results, which would also include toxicology findings, would take "several weeks." Authorities have ruled out foul play and suicide. E! News recently learned the U.S. Attorney's office and Drug Enforcement Administration are joining the investigation into Prince's death. It was recently reported he musician died one day before meeting with a California doctor who specializes in addiction. His family and reps have not commented. (Eonline)

American Idol Alum Rickey Smith Dead at Age 36 After Car Crash. American Idol season two finalist Rickey Smith was killed in a multi-car accident Friday in Oklahoma. He was 36. Following his death, his past competitors Ruben Studdard, who won his season, and Clay Aiken, the runner-up, posted tributes to him online. Local authorities said Smith died when a 27-year-old male driver drove his GMC pickup truck the wrong way on a highway near Oklahoma City and crashed into him, a police official told E! News. Smith, who was driving a Honda Accord, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver was treated at a local hospital and then released into police custody. Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers believe he may have been under the influence of alcohol during the accident, NBC affiliate KFOR reported. No charges were filed as of Friday afternoon. Smith came in eighth place during the second season of American Idol in 2003. Studdard, 37, paid tribute to him on his Instagram page. "As I sit here in utter disbelief about the fact that you went to be with the Lord...I think back on all the fun times we had," he wrote. "How we set up for hours in our room in the Idol mansion talking and listening to music. How much fun we all had on our very first tour." "You were the heart of our season and the true definition of a real friend," Studdard added. "I will miss you my Friend RIP Ricky Smith. I'm sure you're in heaven singing your heart out!!!" Aiken, 37, also paid tribute to Smith on Twitter. "Suffice it to say my heart is truly breaking today," he tweeted. "Heaven's choir has a new beautiful voice. I love you and will miss you, Rickey." Smith had auditioned for American Idol in Nashville and performed Brian McKnight's "One Last Cry". After he was eliminated from the competition, he attempted to launch a music career in Los Angeles but later returned to home to Oklahoma. In 2008, he worked in a sports bar in Oklahoma City. "I wasn't ready to accept the fact that I had to come back and give up music," Smith told USA Today at the time. "I've made peace with it, but it's still frustrating." Oklahoma's home anyway," he added. "I'm a country boy." Smith is one of several American Idol alumni who lost their lives over the past few years. Season seven finalists Michael Johns and Joanne Borgella both passed away in 2014. Season eight contestant Alexis Cohen died after being struck by a car in 2009. (Eonline)

Prince Harry Returns to Walt Disney World for Invictus Games 2016. Prince Harry has returned to Walt Disney World, for a great cause. The 31-year-old royal and younger brother of Prince William recently flew to Florida to attend the 2016 Invictus Games, which are being held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World resort. Harry is the founder of the annual Paralympic-type international sporting competition for wounded and ill military servicemen and women. On Friday and Saturday, he was spotted at preliminary events. He greeted competitors, watched a volleyball game with two boys and also met an adorable little girl who smiled widely as she posed for a photo with him. The official sporting events start Sunday and the Invictus Games end Thursday. Harry was last photographed at Walt Disney World in 1993 during a now-historic trip with William and their mother Princess Diana, who died at age 36 in 1997. The family had stayed at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where they rented out the entire fifth floor. Harry was spotted at the hotel Friday. It is unclear if he is staying there for his current visit. That day, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom hosted a parade for the participants of the Invictus Games. Other celebrity attendees included Olympic gymnastics champion Shawn Johnson, who attended with new husband and NFL player Andrew East. The two wed last month. Former President George W. Bush also surprised members of the Army from the Invictus Games' U.S. Team. Harry had talked about the Invictus Games with the former U.S. leader's daughter Jenna in an interview for NBC's Today show, airing Monday. "I was incredibly privileged and fortunate to be born into this position and yeah, fine, early on in life you sort of get harassed and chased around and all that sort of stuff, but if you can channel all of your passion and efforts into things that really matter and bring amazing people together and put smiles on people's faces, then if I spend the rest of my life doing that then I'm happy," Harry said.

Tom Brady Has a New Cookbook Made of Wood and It's $200. Hooray for yet another celebrity cookbook. Who knew literally ever star ever was secretly an experienced chef? Chrissy Teigen told us all about her calorie-filled Cravings while Gwyneth Paltrow encouraged us to cook with ingredients you can only find foraging in the Amazon (basically). Let's not forget the time Kristin Cavallari taught us how to make miso salmon while Balancing in Heels and Teresa Giudice showed us how to be a Skinny Italian. Fun Fact: Did you know Coolio has a cookbook? It's called Cooking With Coolio and it is just fantastic. Now it's footballer Tom Brady's time to show off his culinary prowess. Gisele Bündchen's hubby recently rolled out his very own cookbook called the TB12 Nutrition Manual. First things first, it's made of wood and we're not joking. Not even Gwyneth's It's All Easy thought of that. Although we're guessing after hearing this news, her next cover will be made from vegan diamonds harvested from a compost pile somewhere in the Hamptons. What is TB12? Aside from it being his initials combined with his jersey, we're not really sure. All in all, the cookbook looks like a grueling lifestyle change if you happen to be the Taco Bell type. Did we mention it's $200? GWYNETH ARE YOU LISTENING? Your next cookbook has a lot of competition. Described as a "living document," customers will be periodically sent new and updated recipes that they may screw into the cookbook (it has screws too). If you're sold on trying it out, you're going to have to pre-order. It's currently sold out on his website. (Eonline)

Harry Styles Just Cut Off His Gorgeous Hair in the Name of Charity. Goodbye, beloved tresses. Harry Styles just did the unthinkable: He chopped off his hair. No, this isn't a joke. He really did take scissors to those lovely locks, but we can't say it was a poor decision because he did it for an amazing cause. The One Direction crooner cut his ponytail off for the British charity Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs made from real hair for children who have experienced hair loss to cancer treatment. Harry posted a pic of his hand holding his braided ponytail while giving a thumbs up. "Whoops," he captioned the Instagram pic. "#Littleprincesstrust." Don't freak out, Directioners. Just remember hair always grows back. While he hasn't revealed his new look just yet -- c'mon, it's Harry, he'll look good -- it's great to see that he's putting those much-loved strands to good use. So far, fans seem to be accepting the (yet-to-be-seen) look, responding on Twitter, "End of an era." What's debatably sadder, however, is the other era that ended: the end of 1D. Yes, the band is on a hiatus for a couple of years, and even though they've said they're going to come back, we won't know for sure until it actually happens. Even Simon Cowell wasn't sure what was going to happen. "I don't know if it's a hiatus or a breakup, to be honest," he said in an interview with Billboard. "In a weird way, I don't want to know. I don't think they've had enough time to experience what it's like not being in the group to really answer that." The former American Idol star also said the band was intent on taking time for themselves. "Whenever I was with them, we talked about it, and I couldn't argue with them," Cowell said about the band's hiatus. "They had achieved so much in a short period of time, and I didn't want them to get jaded. As I've gotten older, I've learned to trust people more, particularly artists. They'll decide when they want to come back together." We can only hope Harry's hair grows back in time for their future (maybe) reunion. (Eonline)

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck & Kids Go on Family Trip to Paris. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are continuing to put family first following their divorce announcement more than 10 months ago.

The family was recently spotted walking in the French capital, along with a female assistant. Garner and Affleck had announced in late June 2015 they had made the "difficult decision to divorce" following 10 years of marriage. The two have since been spotted together often, usually with their children. In addition, the couple still lives with the kids at the same property in Los Angeles. In Paris, Garner was seen with the assistant carrying a couple of pizza boxes and other take-out as they headed to a hotel where the family is staying. She and Affleck were also spotted Friday leaving the hotel from the back entrance. They dined at a nearby restaurant with their children and also hit up an ice cream shop and park, E! News has learned. Affleck is currently filming the movie The Justice League Part One in London, an hour-and-15-minute-flight and three-and-a-half-hour train ride away from Paris. in which he reprises his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice role of Batman. "They were really excited to show their kids Europe," a source told E! News, adding that Garner plans to travel back and forth to Paris while he is shooting. E! News had learned in April Garner and the kids planned to visit Affleck while he shoots the DC Comics film and would be renting a property in London for about a month. "They continue to do what's best for the kids," a source had said. "They are in a really good place right now," another source had told E! News in March. "A lot of the dust has settled and they have become accustomed to their new life, which is separate but together in a lot of ways. They continue to make the family their first priority and they have always been on the same page about that." (Eonline)

Anna Nicole Smith's Daughter Dannielynn Birkhead, 9, Is a Little Lady at Kentucky Derby 2016. Anna Nicole Smith's baby girl is now a little lady! The late Playboy model and reality star's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead, 9, attended the 2016 Kentucky Derby with dad Larry Birkhead Saturday. The two were photographed on the red carpet at Churchill Downs in his hometown of Louisville. Dannielynn looked lovely in a mint tea-length dress adorned with pink flowers, paired with matching pink floral peep-toe shoes, a floral hat and a pearl bracelet. Larry matched in a mint blazer, paired with a white button-down shirt, a pink bow tie, white pants and brown shoes. This marks the seventh time he has brought his and Anne Nicole's little girl, her only surviving child and daughter, to the Kentucky Derby. Larry has attended the Kentucky Derby with Dannielynn every year since 2010, often wearing matching outfits. Three years ago, the two attended the annual race wearing Mary Poppins costumes. "She's my good luck charm," Larry told E! News in 2015. "She picks all the winners." Anna Nicole and Larry met in 2004 at the Barnstable Brown Gala, an annual bash that takes place before the Kentucky Derby. Anna Nicole died at age 39 in 2007 from an accidental prescription drug overdose. Dannielynn was eight months old at the time. Anne Nicole's other child, son Daniel Smith, had died, also from the same type of overdose, at age 20 just three days after she had given birth to her daughter and less than five months before her own death. After Anna Nicole died, Larry, then her ex, obtained custody of Dannielynn after a hard-fought paternity battle. (Eonline)

Why Selena Gomez's Revival Tour Is a No-Squad Zone: ''I'm Not Taylor Swift!'' For anyone hoping that Selena Gomez's Revival tour is going to feature a host of her famous pals, à la Taylor Swift circa 1989...you're in for a bit of a disappointment. Though that should pass within seconds once Selena starts singing "Hands to Myself" and her other hit tunes. But let Selena herself explain why she won't be bringing her squad onstage during her performances, the star having chatted with Entertainment Weekly recently about the vision for her tour and the new music she's got in the pipeline. She revealed that her longtime BFF was indeed all for the show featuring celebrity cameos. "I made a joke about this [when] Taylor was in the room," Selena recalled, explaining her decision, "and she looked at me like, 'You should totally do that!' I was like, 'I can't have all those people come on my stage!' She's like, 'Why not?' Because I'm not Taylor Swift!" How weird, we say that all the time too. Selena added that she doesn't want her work judged by whom she's friends with or who she's dating -- she wants it to be about the music, for now. The young starlet has proven lately that being in show biz for so long has made her wise beyond her years. "I've been in so many situations where it's like, 'Oh, you're friends with this person? You're with that -- person?' All this credibility s--t that drives me crazy. I love being able to work with other artists I admire, but I have a lot to do on my own before I am willing to make it all about embracing other people." Selena went on to say she wants people attending her concerts to have their own personal revivals out in the audience. "I want it to be just vibrant and full of life so that you feel good after leaving," the 23-year-old star gushed. She went on to say that, though she doesn't want the stage to be too over-the-top, with "tons of fire and confetti every five seconds," it's still going to be the biggest platform she's ever performed on and she's excited. But are we getting a new Selena album in 2016?! "Hopefully!" she told EW. "It's going so well, and I know it's not even remotely close to being done, but I'm going in all different directions and feeling it out. If it's great, I'm not going to hesitate to release it." See that you don't, Selena! The Revival Tour opened in Las Vegas, with Joe Jonas opening with his band DNCE. Selena will make her way around the U.S. and Canada before heading to Asia and Europe starting in July. (Eonline)

Justin Timberlake Confirms New Album, Hints He's Going Country. Friday really doesn't get much better when you start it off with a new Justin Timberlake song. However, if you're in the same boat as us, you were ever so slightly disappointed to find out the new tune wasn't a country hit. Well, worry not, friends. The 35-year-old singer chatted with Carson Daley on 97.1 Amp Radio Friday and confirmed he is, in fact, working on a new album and has been digging into his Tennessee roots to do so. "I don't know exactly when I'm going to put it out, but yeah, I'm definitely working on a new album," he revealed. Of course, this should come as no surprise considering all the hints he's been dropping while in the studio, working with people like Pharrell, Timbaland and Little Big town (though the confirmation definitely gives us something to look forward to). But what's even more exciting is that he admits to the influence of his hometown while creating it. "I think where I grew up in America has a lot of influence," he told Daly. "Growing up in Tennessee -- very central of the country -- Memphis is known as being the birthplace of rock and roll, but also the home of the blues, but Nashville's right down the street so there's a lot of country music." In fact, when Daly suggested he could do a mixed album with different collaborations, from Drake to Chris Stapleton, J.T. confirmed that's exactly what he hopes to do. "It's funny that you say that because you might be in my brain about certain types of collaborations coming up on my next album," he said. However, before he gets to the new album, his main focus is the upcoming animated film Trolls for which he helped executive produce the soundtrack. "Can't Stop the Feeling" is the first single off the album. "I'm not going to be shy about saying that working on this soundtrack has bled into working on some other stuff for myself," he explained. "I kind of had been talking with Max [Martin] about maybe getting back into the studio just to get creative and then this project came up and so we just kind of jumped on and tackled it together and ended up writing this, in my opinion, like a banger." He decided he wanted the soundtrack to be just as exciting as the film itself and ended up enlisting the likes of Gwen Stefani and Ariana Grande to do so. Overall, the film and the soundtrack have a deeper meaning to him on a more personal level, thanks to his 1-year-old son, Silas. "I think it was kind of serendipitous in that way where having just had a son and going like, 'Wow! This is kind of cool!'" he explained. "But who knows? By the time he watches the movie, he'll probably be like, 'Dad! That's not cool!'" As for the past year as a first-time daddy, J.T. said, "All I know is I don't know what the hell I did before... It's an extremely humbling experience, and I've never had more poop on [me]! I was talking with someone the other day and they were like, 'Well, I have a dog!' But imagine when you clean up your dog's poop: you roll in there with the heavy duty Bounty paper towels, and you stand like you've got a 10-foot pole away from it. I'm like, 'Dude, when you have a kid, you just get in there, man!'" (Eonline)

Justin Timberlake Drops Star-Studded Video for New Single 'Can't Stop the Feeling'. We've waited a really long time for this! But thankfully Justin Timberlake's new single, "Can't Stop the Feeling," was totally worth it! The former 'NSync hunk dropped the complete song and its star-studded video via Vevo late on Thursday, May 5 -- his first release since 2013. The Grammy-winning star had posted a sneak peek via Twitter earlier in the day, featuring a dance party with his Trolls costars Gwen Stefani, Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Icona Pop and Ron Funches. The talented dad-of-one is providing the movie with an entire soundtrack, with Timberlake acting as executive music producer for the production, as well as voicing the character Branch in the film (which will hit screens in November). The 35-year-old's last music release was his album, The 20/20 Experience, which makes this the first new song we've heard since he became a dad. Timberlake welcomed son Silas with wife Jessica Biel in April 2015. (US Weekly)

Kesha Gets Emotional When Performing "Til It Happens to You" at Humane Society Gala. Kesha is having her voice heard one powerful performance at a time. Less than three weeks after surprising fans at the Coachella Music Festival, the singer stepped out at The Humane Society of the United States Los Angeles Gala where she delivered a powerful rendition of the song "Til It Happens to You." Before the music started playing, Kesha teared up and had to take a couple of deep breaths just as the night's honoree Diane Warren started to play the piano. "I want to dedicate this song to every man, woman, child [and] animal that has ever been abused," Kesha said before she started to sing. During the performance, photos and video of caged farm animals played on a big screen at the back of the stage as she sang. Kesha ultimately received a standing ovation as she hugged Diane. "That's was so beautiful," Zendaya said as she hugged Kesha when she came off stage. The Oscar-nominated song, co-written by Lady Gaga and Diane, was first featured in The Hunting Ground, a documentary about sexual assaults that occur on college campuses. Many fans know that Kesha finds herself is in the middle of an ongoing legal battle with Dr. Luke. While the court proceedings make it more difficult for the singer to make new music, it was recently announced that she will join Diplo's Mad Decent Block Party summer tour on select nights. "F-- YEA! I'm playing the Mad Decent Block Party this summer #MDBP16 #madrespect," Kesha added on Twitter. As for the Humane Society's star-studded gala Saturday night, guests including Ian Somerhalder, Nikki Reed, Riley Keough and Kate Mara were on-hand to show their support for the charity that helps celebrate and protect all animals.

Victoria Beckham Reveals Her Microphone Was Turned off During Spice Girls Concerts. Although Victoria Beckham put down the microphone years ago, it seems she never really needed one! The former Spice Girls member made a surprising confession about her mic during an interview at the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London on Thursday, per The Telegraph. "They used to turn it off and just let the others sing," she said. Posh Spice didn't care too much, though, as she joked, "I got the last laugh -- and now my mic is well and truly on, finally." Even in the girl group's movie Spice World it was clear that Beckham always had a penchant for fashion. "I bet it must be really hard for you Victoria, you know, trying to decide whether to wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress or the little Gucci dress," Mel C quipped in the film. But she took that passion and made an incredibly successful career out of it, becoming a designer that many A-listers turn to for red carpet events. "I was always the one that loved fashion and it was quite a result for me because the girls always used to get their clothes for free because they were crap and so there was a lot of budget for me to have my little Gucci dress," she shared. Even more surprising to some might be that her initial dress didn't actually have the designer label! "The first dress that I wore in the Spice Girls, which everybody thought was a little black Gucci dress, was actually from Miss Selfridge - it wasn't a little back Gucci dress," she confessed. Eventually she would get that Gucci dress -- and then some. In the years that followed the Spice Girls breakup, rumors of feuds and reunions would emerge. Of course there was one reunion tour, but now there are always whispers of another without Beckham. Mel B once described her as a "bit of a bitch" before backtracking and saying they all were "bitches at some point." Whether the microphones were on or off, everyone is still going to want a reunion!

KCON Adds BTOB & Day6 to NYC Lineup, Announces BTS to Play on Both Coasts. The first headlining act for this year's KCON Los Angeles will be none other than this year's first headlining act for KCON New York, BTS. The popular Korean boy band will return to KCON LA at the fifth annual event this July. BTS is poised to become the first K-pop boy band to headline KCON events on both coasts in the same year, attesting to the group's immense international popularity. The seven members previously performed at KCON LA in 2014, where they captivated the KCON audience with their compelling stage presence. Two years later, BTS has a bevy of hits that will surely excite this year's KCON LA concertgoers, including the recently released single "Fire." News of BTS's appearance at KCON LA diverged from the normal route of KCON announcements, as it was revealed by KTLA's entertainment reporter Doug Kolk during his May 5 newscast. Kolk counted down to the revelation after teasing that he and the show's anchors were the only people in the world to know the name of the headlining act. All other announcements for KCON USA 2016 have been announced through the weekly KCON Live Chat, including the news on Thursday that DAY6 and BTOB were just added to the KCON NY lineup. BTOB, the passionate seven-member group that debuted in 2012 with "Insane," is known for their wide-ranging musical style that takes BTOB's listeners through a gamut of genres. Their latest single, "Remember That," was one their best-received songs and they won multiple awards on local Korean weekly music shows with the uptempo romantic ballad. The KCON NY concert will be BTOB's first performance in the United States since 2013. DAY6 is a five-member idol-band that is relatively new to the Korean music scene. They debuted last September with "Congratulations" and returned with their second single "Letting Go" at the end of March, shortly after the departure of former member Junhyeok. DAY6 will not only attend KCON NY, but are making their rounds throughout multiple regions of North America. Ahead of KCON NY, DAY6 will meet fans at this month's Toronto Kpop Con and they're following their trip to KCON NY with a multi-city tour throughout the rest of the country this summer. BTOB and DAY6 join other popular K-pop acts including headliners BTS, Mamamoo, Seventeen and New Jersey-raised Ailee at Newark's Prudential Center on June 24-25. BTS will follow up KCON NY at the Staples Center on July 29-31, joining Girls' Generation-TTS , CNBLUE, Block B, GFriend, and Twice at KCON LA. Tickets for KCON NY go on sale on May 13 while tickets go on sale for KCON LA the following month, on June 3. Prices range from $50 to $250 for single-event tickets while the platinum all-event access tickets cost $800. (Billboard)

Jennifer Lopez Unleashes Women's Revolution in Hillary-Quoting 'Ain't Your Mama' Video: Jennifer Lopez drops multiple pop culture and social references in the vastly entertaining video to "Ain't Your Mama," the female power anthem penned for her by Meghan Trainor. Beginning with a one-sided phone conversation that probably every working woman in the world has had ("I'm tired, I've been working all day! You can [do it]"), Lopez then takes us to a TV news studio where Hillary Clinton's famous "Human rights are women's rights" speech can be heard in the background. From that point on, Lopez embarks on a history of women's fight for independence, from a 1950s kitchen to an assembly line to a 1980s boardroom (which immediately evokes the film 9 to 5) where Lopez, dolled up in a purple shoulder-padded jacket and big hair, is shut out of the meeting. Her rallying cry, asking women everywhere to get up and scream "I Ain't Your Mama!" is a reference to the famous "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" cry heard in the 1976 satire Network. It ends with an all-women power march/dance. (Billboard)

British Artists Claim Biggest Ever Share of U.S. Albums Market. Huge-selling albums by Adele, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith helped British artists claim their highest-ever share of the U.S. artist albums market, according to new figures released from labels trade body BPI. In 2015, British artists accounted for more than one in six of artist albums purchased in the U.S. and one in five in Canada. That equates to a record 17.6 percent share of the U.S. artist albums market -- up from 12.2 percent in 2014. BPI only began its annual survey in 2003, although it estimates that Brits' share of the U.S. market is now at a record high, even surpassing the Beatles-led invasion of the 1960s. This time around, it is Adele leading the charge with her all-conquering third album 25topping the year-end chart. As previously reported, 25 sold over 7 million copies in the U.S in its first six weeks of release. Ed Sheeran's sophomore set X and Sam Smith's debut In The Lonely Hour placed fourth and sixth in the year-end Nielsen/Billboard charts with both records making the U.S. top 10 for a second consecutive year. Other artists who claimed No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart last year included Florence and the Machine with How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Mumford & Sons with Wilder Mind and Muse with their seventh studio album Drones becoming their first to top the U.S. albums chart. In Canada, there was a similar story with Brits accounting for 22 percent of Canadian album sales (not including compilations and soundtracks) -- up from 15.3 percent in 2014. Adele, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith were, again, the highest placed U.K. artists in the year-end chart, with Mumford and Sons also making the top 10. One Direction's fifth album, Made in the A.M. placed just outside at No. 11. Bring Me The Horizon, Ellie Goulding, Coldplay, Iron Maiden, Disclosure, David Gilmour, Chvrches, Bullet For My Valentine and Duran Duran also scored hit albums in both territories. In the singles market, British acts accounted for 12.9 percent of U.S sales, with Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" the most downloaded track (5.5 million sales) and the second most streamed song of 2015. Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and Adele's Hello" also featured in the year-end top 10 singles chart. "Uptown Funk" was the most streamed song in Canada, where U.K. artists accounted for just under 15 percent of all track streams. "The drumbeat of British music success in North America just keeps getting louder," said BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor in a statement announcing the sales figures. "British acts such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Mark Ronson have become part of the music mainstream in both the US and Canada -- as popular as any home-grown talent, and their sustained success has opened the door to a new generation of UK artists coming through," Taylor went on to say, citing the "key role" that labels play in driving British artist's international success.

Warner Music Group Revenue Up Big, Streaming Hits Milestone. Warner Music Group's double-digit revenue growth coincided with streaming becoming the main source of revenue -- from any source -- in its recorded music division, the company announced Friday morning in its earnings release for the quarter ended March 31. As CEOStephen Cooper noted in a statement, "this new milestone comes only four quarters after our streaming revenue first topped our download revenue." Across all divisions, revenue grew 13.4 percent to $745 million on a constant currency basis or 10.0 percent when currency exchange fluctuations were taken into account. Net income was down slightly to $12 million. Calling from China, Cooper emphasized the growth in international markets. Asia up 17 percent, Latin America up 17 percent and Europe up 12 percent. "We continue to believe these regions have huge potential, and we are exploring other growth opportunities," he said. The continued rise of streaming services was the key takeaway from Warner's strong quarter. Digital revenue grew 25.0 percent at constant currency or 21.2 percent as reported, nearly matching the previous quarter's 25.2 percent growth at constant currency. Back in February, Warner noted streaming was driving digital gains and was "on a trajectory" to become its largest revenue source. "This rapid transformation is evidence of our ability to sign, develop and market artists that thrive in the streaming world," Cooper said during Friday morning's earnings call. "Reaching these achievements is made possible by healthy macro trends in the recorded music industry, as well as tireless execution by our global operators." The global record business is going through the same transition -- albeit more slowly than Warner's quick pace. Global streaming revenue rose 45.2 percent to $2.9 billion, according to the IFPI. Subscription services, not ad-supported streaming, were behind last year's gains. The number of subscribers to services like Spotify and Apple Music rose 66 percent to 68 million. The story elsewhere in the company reflected the broader changes from changing consumer behavior and preferences. Sales of physical product, surprisingly strong given the quick transition to streaming, declined just 4 percent. In the publishing division, mechanical revenue declined 15 percent and performance revenue was flat. The announcement of Warner's streaming milestone came the day after the BPI announced new figures about the "value gap," the term given by the music industry for the disparity between the growth rates of streaming activity and ad-supported streaming revenue. Speaking at Canadian Music Week, BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor said the number of music video streams in the U.K. almost doubled while revenue from those services rose just half a percent. Although not singled out by name, YouTube is the main target of these complaints. The music industry is arguing the protections, called "safe harbors," granted to user-generated videos of services like YouTube to monetize some videos that aren't matched to the copyright holders. There are also complaints the mere existence of safe harbor protections put labels and publishers in a disadvantage when negotiating royalty rates. "The rising flow of royalties that should be nurturing artists and labels has slowed to a trickle, as platforms that rely on safe harbors use consumer demand for our music to grow their own businesses at the expense of creators," Taylor said. Cooper chimed in on the issue, too. "We fully support this unified movement to clarify copyright legislation around so-called 'safe harbors' in order to create the conditions necessary for the improved monetization of music," he said. "It is imperative that we ensure a fairer correlation between the massive consumption of music via services built around user-uploaded content and the value generated for artists, songwriters and rights holders."

Julia Roberts' Box-Office Power in Question. The actress has endured a string of disappointments in the U.S. since her last hit 'Eat Pray Love' in 2010; Cannes Film Festival entry 'Money Monster,' co-starring George Clooney, is the next big test. For more than a decade, Julia Roberts was box-office gold, becoming the world's biggest actress and the first female to command a $20 million salary for her Oscar-winning performance in Erin Brockovich, released in 2000. Roberts -- who starred in 17 movies in the 1990s, including classic rom-coms Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride and Notting Hill -- was so powerful she saw her paycheck upped to $25 million for the 2003 drama, Mona Lisa Smile. (After Mona Lisa Smile, she started making fewer films as she focused on raising a family.) Fast-forward to present day when Roberts' box-office pull is in question, much like several of her male contemporaries, including Johnny Depp and Will Smith. In the U.S., a major movie star is no longer a guarantee that audiences will show up. The actress, 48, has suffered a string of misses since her last two hits, Eat Pray Love and Valentine's Day, both released in 2010. Last fall, The Secret in Their Eyes, a tough thriller about a woman (Roberts) who seeks revenge for the death of her daughter, opened nationwide to $6.7 million, one of the lowest nationwide starts of her career. The movie, co-starring Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor, was small in scope, to be sure, costing $19.5 million to make, but topped out a disappointing $20.2 million nationwide. "Nowadays, female leads are usually plucked to be posterized if they're of the comedic variety, not necessarily for their acting prowess. Julia Roberts was one of the last true actresses that earned her name above the title of a film with acting alone. That's how big her draw was. What happened? Well, since Eat Pray Love in 2010, she hasn't really done anything that's connected with audiences or the zeitgeist of the times," says box-office analyst Jeff Bock. "Still, she had a decade long stretch from 1990-2000 that really is unmatched by an actress in terms of box office, which is why I think studios are still interested in casting her in hopes of catching just one more glimpse of the iconic mannerisms -- the trademark laugh and smile -- that catapulted her to $100 million-plus hit after $100 million-plus hit," Bock continued. Indeed, Roberts still lands her share of roles. On Thursday, she was cast as Room star Jacob Tremblay's mother in the Lionsgate drama Wonder. Over the April 29-30 weekend, Mother's Day, debuted to $8.4 million domestically -- 85 percent behind Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day, which opened to $56.2 million in 2010. Roberts was one of the ensemble leads in both movies. In Mother's Day, she stars alongside Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Jason Sudeikis. Insiders close to Roberts note she made the two movies as a favor to Marshall, who directed her breakout movie Pretty Woman, and that neither were strategic career choices. Plus, they were ensemble titles. Other recent films featuring Roberts that failed to resonate at the U.S. box office in a meaningful way include Snow White movie Mirror Mirror (2012) and Larry Crowne (2011), co-starring Tom Hanks. Roberts' next test is director Jodie Foster's Money Monster, reuniting the actress with her Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve co-star George Clooney (it's likewise a box-office test for him). Money Monster makes its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next week before Sony opens the financial thriller in U.S. theaters on May 13. In the film, Clooney stars as a financial TV personality who is taken hostage on air by an unhappy viewer; Roberts plays the producer of the show. Money Monster will also make a major push overseas, where movie stars still have more clout. Mirror Mirror, for example, earned $118.1 million overseas, compared to $64.9 million domestically, not accounting for inflation. (Hollywood Reporter)

Holy Social Security! Older Stars Are Cashing in on Superhero Movies. Robert Redford, Glenn Close and William Hurt ('Captain America: Civil War') are among the AARP-age actors who can earn $4 million to bring gravitas to big-budget DC and Marvel pics. Superhero movies long have taken a chance on unproven actors in their 30s and 40s for lead roles. Marvel's Captain America star Chris Evans is 34; Batman v. Superman's Henry Cavill is 32;Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. was 41 when he first donned the suit. But now there's a new class of more pedigreed actors reaping the rewards of the superhero craze -- and many of them get the senior discount. Michael Douglas was 69 when he joined Marvel's Ant-Man; Robert Redford, the patriarch of indie film, took a supporting role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier at 76; and Glenn Close was 66 when she signed on to Guardians of the Galaxy. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice featured Laurence Fishburne, 54, Kevin Costner, 61, and Jeremy Irons, 67. Marvel's new release, Captain America: Civil War (May 6), includes William Hurt, 66, as a character he first played in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. And Warner Bros. has assembled its upcoming Justice League with J.K. Simmons, 61, and Willem Dafoe, 60. All of the above have won or been nominated for an Oscar. What's behind the surge of A-list AARP members in comics films? Bringing a master thespian into a superhero universe is a strategy that dates to Marlon Brando playing Jor-El in 1978'sSuperman. But it's become more prevalent as superheroes have come to dominate studio slates over the past decade. With more than 20 hero pics set to hit theaters in the next three years alone, there's a growing need for actors with the experience and esteem to bring gravitas. It's a win-win situation, says one agent who represents a veteran star. Actors typically transition to smaller movies late in their careers (especially these days, as studios have trimmed non-tentpole projects), so a superhero film can represent a guaranteed worldwide vehicle that will be seen by millions. "It's great to have a massive hit once in a while to inject energy into their own personal projects," says the agent. Plus, the actors are paid well (sources say between $1 million and $4 million on average) for what usually is only a few weeks of work. "These films are scheduled in a way that's very user-friendly toward doing other movies in the same time period," adds Circle of Confusion manager Frank Frattaroli, who represents Dafoe. Frattaroli says Dafoe had passed on offers for other superhero movies because he already played the villain Green Goblin in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films. But the actor sparked to Justice League because he would be playing a good guy -- although Warner Bros. hasn't revealed whom, exactly. "There's all this speculation on the internet about the mystery of who he's playing -- it just helps build up the movie," adds Frattaroli. And the trend is likely to continue for years to come. The Russo brothers tapped into the vault to bring back Hurt for Civil War eight years after his first Marvel experience. "The Marvel universe is unprecedented," says Joe Russo. "We have a ton of characters at our disposal and a lot of great actors. We knew we needed a voice for the government for this film -- and how can you pass up putting in William Hurt?"

We're Now Rooting for Anthony Mackie to Co-Host LIVE! With Kelly Ripa. Debate over who should replace Michael Strahan on Live! alongside Kelly Ripa has gone on and on over the last few weeks, but we think we've finally found the one... Anthony Mackie. The Captain America star made his debut on the talk show Friday and not only revealed how truly hilarious he is, but also what a great co-host he'd make on the show. You see, he got to chatting about Robert Downey Jr. and how he introduced Mackie to quinoa, and the whole thing was entirely amazing. "He has introduced me to quinoa," he said, pronouncing it "King Wah," much to Michael's confusion. "You know what it is? It's the other grain." After laughing with Michael over his pronunciation of the grain, confusing it for the new "Prince Amuda," Mackie continued. "So I take a little spinach, a little extra virgin olive oil...Look at her face," he said pointing to a woman in the audience. "She like, 'Oh! Don't you say spinach in the morning!'" Kelly, Michael and the whole audience couldn't hold in their belly-aching laughter. In fact, Michael had to cut the actor off, saying, "I can't finish this with you. You're too much, man!" From his quick and witty responses to his perfect storytelling skills, the interview as a whole was great. It made us realize that we really need more Mackie in our lives -- preferably in the mornings, sitting beside Kelly on Live! Perhaps his name will be thrown into the conversation now of who will come to replace Michael in the future. For now, celebs like Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, Neil Patrick Harris and Mario Lopez have been discussed. In April, ABC announced that Strahan would be leaving his morning talk show to join Good Morning America in the fall, surprising everyone -- including Ripa, who has hosted Live! since 2001.

Your Worst Nightmare Is Back on Outlander & Things Could Not Be More Complicated. He's baa-aack... Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) has returned to Outlander, and he brought with him a whole bunch of new complications. Jamie, of course, wants to kill the man who raped and tortured him for days on end, and is understandably delighted at the process of doing so. Claire, on the other hand, is determined to keep both her husbands alive and existing, and for Frank to exist, Randall just can't die until he has a kid to continue his line. That also plays into another upsetting part of the night's episode, which involves poor Mary Hawkins. Now that, according to society at the time, her reputation has been ruined forever after she was raped, she hopes to be free to marry Alex Randall instead of the old, rich guy she was supposed to marry. Claire, however, knew that if Mary were happy with Alex, that would mean Frank would never be born, and for once it was time for Claire to be selfish(ish) and make sure her first husband did, in fact, exist. She put it in Alex's head that it would be totally unfair of him to marry Mary in his sickly condition, even though she was then dooming Mary to a life of having to be with Black Jack Randall, who is the actual worst. Not great, Claire, but also understandable. Saturday night's episode also brought Jamie and Black Jack face to face, and if they hadn't met back up in the presence of the king, a lot more than typical pleasantries would have probably been exchanged. While it was damn near chilling to see that snarl again, it was a lot less upsetting to see Black Jack and his uniform belittled by the king and his squad, while Jamie and Claire were respected as lady and lord. Clearly, Black Jack's in a whole new territory, and his upper hand is long gone. Unfortunately, Jamie couldn't just walk away from Black Jack without challenging him to an illegal duel. Claire immediately panicked, and accused Randall of last episode's attack, which is the one horrible assault that he just happens to have had nothing to do with. For now, Randall's locked up in the Bastille and after an emotional, tear-filled argument, Jamie has agreed to wait a year to kill him. As for whether he can actually stand to wait that long, we'll just have to see. Finally, Claire discovered that the origin of her new title, La Dame Blanche, is none other than her own husband, who started spreading the rumor that his wife is a witch in order to keep his manliness intact while refusing Charlie's prostitutes. It's both the silliest and most brilliant stupid macho excuse we've ever heard, and watching it continue to have unexpected effects on Claire's life is going to be very interesting. Outlander airs Saturdays at 9 p.m. on Starz. (Eonline)

The Originals' Charles Michael Davis Explains How Marcel Will Try to Save Davina. This is not a drill, people: Davina died last week on The Originals, and it's up to her guardian Marcel to save her from the supernatural forces who want her to stay that way. "He's in emergency mode," explains star Charles Michael Davis. "Trying to be calm but yet still trying to think and make decisions without having that time to really think them through. It's going to be great -- we get to see how he handles the pressure." After taking Davina in, Marcel is the closest the young, powerful witch has to family -- so he's pulling out all the stops to try to save her. "He's going to need to recruit some help. I think you saw from the promo she's dealing with the Ancestors, so he's going to need the help of some witches -- at least one," Davis tells E! News. "We've got Kol, who has experience with spells but he's not a witch, and we've got Vincent and Freya. He's going to need to assemble a team real quick." Because Davina is one of the people Marcel cares about most in this world, he's extra frantic. "It's definitely more raw and more visceral in trying to keep it under control because of the stakes," he says. "If you win, you get her back, if you lose, you really lose her." He continues, "Of course, for him, that's really, really tough. An eternity without someone that you found and that you loved and you try to build this relationship with. I'm sure he wants to see her grow and become a woman and all that stuff, and it's like, okay, let's put all that aside and let's focus on the task at hand: one, getting help, and two, however you're going to do it, three, let's execute it and then four, wait and see if it works." Right now, Marcel doesn't have time to think about blaming anyone for what happened -- even though he could easily blame Davina, for bringing this catastrophe on herself, or Kol, for being the reason she's gone. "He probably understands both sides," Davis says. "One, she is a teenager, the other side is this guy is a vampire and he's probably mad at himself and he could probably place blame, but the thing is none of it's going to help with the situation at the moment so he's probably going to put all those things aside. But we'll see, a lot of that -- the regret, the doubt, maybe a little bit of self-loathing, and maybe the anger directed outwards -- in the episode it'll be main goal get her back however possible." The Originals airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on the CW. (Eonline)

Criminal Minds Renewed for Season 12. Dangerous predators take note: Criminal Minds' BAU team is on the case for another year. CBS announced it has officially renewed the long-running procedural for a full season 12 for the 2016-2017 TV season. According to CBS, Criminal Minds is still a top performer and this season averages 12 million viewers and 2.8 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic. The series stars Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness. Shemar Moore, a member of the original cast, left the show this season. "All of us at Criminal Minds are sad to say 'see you later' to Agent Derek Morgan. Even sadder that our friend Shemar Moore isn't on set anymore. It was definitely a surprise that he wanted 'To leap,' as Shemar said, 'to try new things.' For those reasons, we have nothing but love and respect for him and his choice. But it doesn't mean we can't also be really, really sad," executive producer Erica Messer said in a statement after Moore's last episode. Criminal Minds joins a long list of already renewed CBS shows including The Big Bang Theory, NCIS and Mom. (Eonline)

Giuliana Rancic is sticking with the E! network for at least three more years. "I signed a deal to do a multiyear deal for red carpet and 'Fashion Police' and I [just] re-signed. The ink is literally drying as we speak," she told us on Tuesday. Rancic's exit from her gig as lead anchor of E! News ignited buzz that she was fighting with her co-hosts and the network. "It was all lies and people made headlines for no reason and it was just wild to me. I've had nothing but great relationships with my co-hosts and people I work with. When you know the truth and you know exactly what your conversations are and what the true deal is, [the rumors] don't bother you. It would've affected me if there was truth to it," she said. Rancic has more time to focus on her other businesses and charity work since leaving the daily show. She recently teamed up with Walgreens for the Red Nose Day campaign, which helps children living in poverty. "They've raised over a billion dollars globally for kids in need. It makes a difference," she said. (Page Six)

Meet Scandal's Presidential Candidates & Find Out Who Exposed Olivia's Big Secret. After a hard fought race, Scandal's presidential election is finally down to two candidates -- but not before the crew (meaning Olivia Pope & Associates on Team Mellie Grant, President Fitz, Abby & co. on Team Susan Ross, Cyrus and Team Francisco Vargas, and Papa Pope and Jake on Team Edison Davis) managed to take down the horrific Hollis Doyle. The big case of "Trump Card" saw Mellie and Susan team up to take down Doyle (while the democrats sat by and watched). It took a bit of scheming -- and pooling their resources in a momentary cease fire -- but they managed to do it when Olivia leaked audio of Hollis demeaning his voter base to Sally Langston, who played it on air. Bye, Hollis and your hateful rhetoric! Don't let the door hit you on the way out. That led us to the final selection of each nominee. On the Republican side, Mellie, Susan and their advisers (so, everyone we know and like) sat in a room and laid out all the oppo research they had on each other. Whoever had the least incriminating skeletons in their closet got the nomination, and the dirt on the other would be buried. The decision came rather quickly, because David Rosen's sugar deal with the Florida governor immediately came back to bite him. Not only did Susan drop out of the race, she also dumped him (after accepting his marriage proposal earlier in the episode). And it wasn't just any dumping, either -- it was an amazing, epic speech. "I know I'm amazing! I'm witty and cute and funny and smarter than you. I'm incredible. I'm going to change the world," she told David before showing him out because she's the G.D. vice president and had important work to do. Oh, and by the way, David might lose his job because now Fitz knows about the totally illegal deal he made. That means the Republican nominee is officially Mellie Grant. At the end of the episode, Olivia and Abby had a much-needed girls' night, where Abby confessed that she did withhold some of the dirt on Mellie -- that was actually dirt on Fitz: Olivia's abortion. Olivia was glad Abby kept it under wraps, because no one knew about it -- not even Fitz. So how did she find out? Why, Papa Pope, of course. Who was the total mastermind of Edison's campaign and was trying to force him to pick Jake as his VP -- until Edison tanked his chances by going off against Doyle and cementing the nomination for Vargas. Congrats, Vargas! Francisco Vargas is officially the Democratic nominee. But sorry, Edison -- you're pretty much screwed. As he found out at the end of the episode, he was only still around because Rowan might need him in the future. But here's a twist: As Jake threatened Edison (again), he quietly whispered to him: "Tell her I need her help. Tell her I'm chasing the sun." Jake's not on Papa Pope's side after all! He just doesn't want to be murdered or blackmailed or on Papa Pope's bad side. Will Olivia be able to help him? The Scandal season five finale airs next Thursday at 9 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Who Won Grey's Anatomy's Brutal Custody Battle? Well that was not fun. Not fun at all. Thursday night we watched Callie and Arizona go to court over custody of Sofia, and it was just the worst. Their coworkers were forced to take the stand and answer demeaning questions that really only hurt everyone involved in order to lead the judge to a decision on who should get to keep their daughter full-time. In the end, Arizona "won," which is the result we wanted. It was also the result you wanted, based on your responses to our poll, so even while we were thrilled to learn the judge's decision, it was a bittersweet thrill. Callie was just so devastated, and it was so hard to watch. The whole episode was actually really hard to watch, but in a different way than Grey's normally is. There was no gore, no terrible tragedy, just a truly painful legal battle that was almost too real. We felt physical pain deep in our gut as Arizona was basically slut-shamed for her nights out with Richard, and as Penny made it clear on the stand that she was not quite on the level of being Sofia's new parent. The discomforting realness of the trial was, of course, made even more dramatic by a case that required Arizona's expertise at the hospital. Of course the OB on call was trying to deliver the pregnant teen's baby way too early, and of course Arizona was the only person who could save the day. Fortunately, the girl and her baby survived, and leaving the hearing while she was on the stand didn't lose Arizona the win, so it all worked out, but we don't feel good about any of it. This show, man. Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. What did you think of the episode, and of Arizona's victory? (Eonline)

A microphone picked up MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews' comments about Donald Trump's wife Melania's "runway walk." Matthews, who did not realize his mic was on, was caught saying, "Did you see her walk? Runway walk. My God, is that good" while covering the Indiana primary for the network. His co-host, Brian Williams, noticing Matthews' comments that were clearly meant to be private, cut to a commercial break. Matthews continued, " I could watch that runway show." A rep for Melania Trump told Variety in response to Matthews' comments: "Melania Trump is an accomplished businesswoman and entrepreneur in her own right, achieving tremendous success in a variety of industries, including an illustrious modeling career, as well as being a dedicated wife and mother. "It is unfortunate to see the continuous inaccuracies and misrepresentations made by the media of Mrs. Trump as anything less than the independently successful woman that she is." This isn't the first time Matthews has been accused of making sexist comments. In 2011, he said Sarah Palin "could not be hotter as a candidate." In 2008 he implied that Hillary Clinton is successful only because her husband "messed around." "I think the Hillary appeal has always been somewhat about her mix of toughness and sympathy for her. Let's not forget the reason she is a U.S. Senator, the reason she is a candidate for President is because her husband messed around...She didn't get there on her merits, because everyone felt, 'My God, this woman stood up under humiliation.'" In 2007, he had an awkward encounter with CNN's Erin Burnett. "Could you get a little closer to the camera? Come on in closer. No, come in -- come in further -- come in closer. Really close," Matthews said. "Just kidding! You look great! Anyway, thanks. Erin, it's great to–look at that look! You're great. You're beautiful. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You're a knockout. Anyway, thank you, Erin Burnett. It's all right getting bad news from you, even, OK? Thanks for coming on 'Hardball.'" A rep for MSNBC did not immediately return FOX411's request for comment. (Fox News)

HBO's 'Vinyl' Prompts Lawsuit from Hip Hop Pioneer DJ Kool Herc. According to the complaint, DJ Kool Herc turned down a $10,000 offer before the series aired. The pioneers of rock and hip-hop are having a bit of a moment in courtrooms across the nation. Led Zeppelin is set to stand trial next week over "Stairway to Heaven" while Flo & Eddie of the Turtles are leading putative class actions over the broadcasting of their music on platforms like SiriusXM and Pandora. Now, with HBO reviving the early '70s music industry for the series, Vinyl, DJ Kool Herc is agitating for some respect. Credited as one of the pioneers of hip-hop, the New Yorker born Clive Campbell has filed a lawsuit against HBO over the use of his identity, name and voice in the show produced by Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and others. In one of the episodes in its premiere season, the show's main character visits the Bronx and is captivated by DJ Kool Herc scratching and mixing records. For this, DJ Kool Herc claims a violation of a New York civil rights law guarding against likeness misappropriation as well as his common law trademark rights. (Read the complaint here.) "It's beyond us why HBO and the producers of Vinyl, a successful show about artists and music, would hurt an artist like Herc who has contributed so much to the music industry," says Taso Pardalis, the attorney representing the hip-hop progenitor. A spokesperson for HBO responds, "We are confident there is no validity to the claims." HBO has good reason to feel confidence in defeating a lawsuit that demands an unspecified damages amount. New York's likeness law is a fairly limited one that pertains to uses in advertising and trade. In times that's it's been tested -- like when a guy named Michael Constanza sued over Seinfeld, like when Lindsay Lohan sued over a Pitbull song that mentioned her, or like when an artist with a telephoto lens spied on his neighbor -- judges have generally elected to protect creative works. Of course, there's always slight openings as seen by Lohan's focus on how Grand Theft Auto V was advertised. A judge recently let that one move forward. The trademark claim raises a different issue, and probably a strong defense there too, but putting that aside, the most revealing aspect of DJ Kool Herc's lawsuit may be the lengths that producers were willing to go to either engender goodwill or avoid nuisance from '70s musicians who would be presented in Vinyl. According to the complaint, DJ Kool Herc was presented with a $10,000 offer and consulting contract before the show aired to waive all rights. Whether or not this was a smart move can be debated. In this instance, it appears to have alerted the plaintiff to potential claims. DJ Kool Herc obviously felt he deserved more. (Hollywood Reporter)

Kendra Wilkinson Apologizes To Bridget Marquardt For Being A Bad Friend... But She's Not Making Up With Holly Madison Anytime Soon! Reunited and it feels so good! Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison may currently be feuding like cats and dogs, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of salvaging her other relationships. In fact, the mother-of-two is taking some time out of her busy schedule to apologize to Bridget Marquardt for being such a bad friend! In a teaser for this Friday's all new Kendra on Top, the former Girls Next Door admits that she had a tough time leaving the Playboy mansion and took it out on Bridget, saying: "You know, I did have -- as we all did, probably -- a hard time transitioning into like a world outside the mansion. When I was saying those things, it was more about like, trying to distance myself from the mansion as much as I could, which was the wrong thing to do." At least she's learned from her mistakes! Still, Bridget was clearly hurt by all the mean things Kendra has said about her: "When I saw things like, 'Well, we were never friends,' and, 'She's not appreciative,' and things like that, I'm thinking all the things that we did together -- like all the time at the mansion, from all the traveling around the world. We weren't always best friends, but we definitely had each other's back, and I definitely consider you a friend." Awwwww... Luckily, it seems like the two are officially bestiez again! But don't hold your breath on Kendra and Holly ever rekindling their friendship... "Bridget's right. She was part of very special moments in my life that really meant a lot to me. [However,] there was never a moment where I can say [Holly] felt real to me... " (Perez Hilton)
