Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris Break Up: Singer ''Upset'' After Music Producer ''Ended It'' Last Week. Do you hear that sound? That's the sound of hearts breaking all over the world. E! News has confirmed through multiple sources that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris (real name Adam Wiles) have broken up after dating for almost a year and a half. "This all happened last week," a source tells us. "Taylor and Adam had no big blowout fight, but the romance just was not there anymore for them. Adam is the one that ended it. It was all done in a very mature fashion. Taylor is pretty upset but they are still in communication. Taylor was there for Adam with his accident and supportive." The duo's breakup comes shortly after the music producer suffered from a car accident, causing him to cancel a few shows. "Adam is still recovering from the injuries sustained in the car accident last Friday. Unfortunately, as a result he will not be able to perform in Las Vegas at Hakkasan tonight, 5/26 and Omnia tomorrow, 5/27," his team explained last week. Meanwhile, a source recently told E! News, "Calvin is feeling better and is enjoying some time off to rest and get his body back to where it was. He is going to the gym but not working too hard," the insider added, also noting that Swift was being supportive during this time. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in March, and Swift shared that she received a very special gift from her beau. The "Bad Blood" singer revealed a gold heart-shaped locket engraved with the date 3-6-2015 on her Instagram account, a nod to their official anniversary date. Harris and Swift then decided to take a tropical getaway, shocking fans everywhere that they not only witnessed the singer's belly button out in the open again, but saw the pair flaunt some rare PDA on social media. The pop star met the Scottish DJ in late February of last year through mutual pal Ellie Goulding, and they soon started dating. "Calvin is a really great mate and he's so fantastic, and Taylor is such a cool person who I love. I thought, 'They're both really awesome and both really tall, they'll be brilliant together,'" Goulding told The Sun last June. It wasn't long before the pair began taking the world by storm hand-in-hand. The couple were supporting each other at award shows, gushing about each other during interviews, being spotted out and about on the town while enjoying day dates and night dates together, visiting each others' hometowns and, of course, introducing us to swan goals. "I'm just taking things as they come," Swift told Vogue earlier this year. "I'm in a magical relationship right now. And of course I want it to be ours, and low-key...this is the one thing that's been mine about my personal life." People was first to report the split. (Eonline)

Gwen Stefani Denies Blake Shelton Engagement Rumors. If wedding bells are ringing, Gwen Stefani can't hear them. The "Make Me Like" you singer has been in relationship with Blake Shelton since last fall, and though their romance has seemingly moved at warp speed, neither musician is in a rush to get remarried. After all, Gwen was married to Bush's Gavin Rossdale from 2002-2015, while Blake was married to Kaynette Gern from 2003-2006 and then to Miranda Lambert from 2011-2015. In the June 13 issue of Us Weekly, however, a Gwen family source claimed that the singers -- who met as mentors on NBC's The Voice -- "talk openly about their future together. They say things like, 'When we get married...' all the time." In fact, one of the pop star's friends claimed she is "totally smitten and wants to have a baby with Blake. Gwen is trying to get pregnant." Not so, according to Gwen. In a radio interview with 94.7 Fresh FM's The Tommy Show Wednesday, Gwen denied reports that she's ready to wed. "Let's just take it one day at a time," she told host Tommy McFLY. "Everything's crazy right now so no, absolutely not. Can you imagine the amount of gossipy, weird stories people make up? To me, it makes me laugh every day. I actually do Google my name just so I can see the next one that's gonna happen, because it's gotten so out of control." Gwen -- mom to sons Kingston Rossdale, 10, Zuma Rossdale, 7, and Apollo Rossdale, 2 -- tries to laugh off the rumors. "The best part about it is it's hilarious," the singer, 46, told McFLY. "The worst part about it is that some people actually believe that stuff. Like, that is what's funny." The day of her interview, Rolling Stone published an interview with Blake in which he opened up about the origins of their romance. "As I was making the record, other developments were happening," Blake told the magazine. "I was spending some time with Gwen all of a sudden, and she became my closest ally, my friend, my person in my life who had my back, and I had hers. And created this bond with somebody that I never would have thought in a million years." "We were starting The Voice last year, and I had to sit down and go, 'Look, by the time this thing airs, my life will have completely changed, and we need to talk about this now because it may affect what we talk about on the show.' I just felt like there doesn't need to be secrets," the 39-year-old "Came Here to Forget" singer revealed. "And then the same thing [happened] with Gwen. It was like, 'Here's what's going on, this show ain't gonna air until three months from now, so let's get this talked about right now.' That's how we even found out what was going on. And we just started to develop a friendship after that. And it took a while, because it's chaos. But just over time, seeing each other a lot at work, it just kind of developed into that." (Eonline)

Zendaya Reveals the Real Reason She Returned to Disney: "More Power." Zendaya has become a forced to be reckoned with. Whether she's slaying it with her style on red carpets or making bold statements about feminism, the "Replay" songstress is all business. Despite being only 19 years old, Zendaya knows what she wants and goes for it, which is exactly why she made it clear that she would return to Disney under one condition. "The only way I was going to come back to the Disney Channel was if I was in a position of more power," Zendaya reveals in the July issue of Cosmopolitan, which also serves as the singer-actress' very first cover for the magazine. "One thing that is really important to me is diversity on the channel. It's hard as a young person of a different ethnicity or background to look at the TV and not see anyone who looks like you. Representation is very important." Now, Zendaya serves not only as the star of K.C. Undercover but also a co-producer. But Zendaya's powerful voice didn't end there. The Disney Channel star recalls a time when someone was racially insensitive onset, which is something Zendaya won't stand for. "I didn't like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, 'You should just be happy with it -- they haven't had a black girl on the cover since forever'," she shares. "She's no longer my publicist." When it comes to her love life, Zendaya has been very private. Earlier this year she was rumored to be dating Odell Beckham Jr. after they were spotted arm-in-arm at a Grammys after-party, but her father, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman, later joked that the NFL star was simply "auditioning" for the role of boyfriend. Not wanting to fuel the rumor mill, Zendaya clarified his comments. "Here's the thing, a couple of things, first of all it wasn't really a date," she explained to 92.3 AMP Radio. "We went to some events together, because we're friends. We were with a group, we were with multiple people. I was with my stylist and everything like that." As for whether she's looking for something serious or playing the field, Zendaya now tells Cosmopolitan, "I would much rather be in love and have the full experience with the person I'm doing that with. Everyone deserves to be in love -- it's different from when you're with someone you don't really know. But as long as you protect yourself and get tested periodically, then by all means, go ahead and do what you've got to do!" (Eonline)

Jessica Alba Reflects on Being a Virgin Sex Symbol in Hollywood: "My Sexuality Made Me Very Uncomfortable." By the time of her first year as a teenager, Jessica Alba had already appeared on the silver screen. Two decades later, she's a Golden Globe-nominated actress who's ranked as one of People's most beautiful and was honored with the number one spot on Maxim's Hot 100 list. However, the Honest Company creator admits she was far less thrilled about the physical accolades she garnered as a starlet in Hollywood. "My sexuality made me very uncomfortable," she said in the July issue of InStyle. "I remember my first Maxim shoot, they were telling me to pose a certain way, and I was like, 'Agh! I'm 19. I'm a virgin. I don't even know how to do that.' It was so awkward." With sultry roles in Dark Angel, Sin City and Into the Blue, Alba quickly became known as the screen siren of the action genre. However, she didn't identify with the image that had been shaped of her by the time she reached just 25 years old. "I sort of went through a life crisis. I was like, 'This isn't what I set out to be. I'm so much more than this, but I don't know how not to be a sex symbol.'" The pre-Hollywood Alba was a cargo pants-wearing tomboy raised in a Catholic household. "The first time I wore a dress and heels, I had to go to the Golden Globes," she admitted to the magazine. The California native's childhood was a far cry from the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood as she rotated in and out of the hospital with pneumonia, a burst appendix and asthma among other ailments. "I was definitely born different," she said. "I loved to challenge authority. I was a very difficult child to parent. I was hyper. I didn't sleep a lot. And being sick so often and being in and out of the hospital so much made it hard to form relationships." Having established herself as a bonafide movie star, mogul, wife and a mother to two daughters, the actress has come a long way from her lonely elementary school days. While she's still running her billion dollar business, Alba is returning to the genre that shaped her career, but as the kind of character the self-proclaimed feminist is eager to play. "She can hold her own, and she's tough, and she kicks ass," she said of her role as Gina in the upcoming Mechanic: Resurrection. "So that's why I wanted to do it." The July issue of InStyle hits newsstands on Friday, June 10. (Eonline)

Ryan Gosling Declares ''Women Are Better Than Men.'' Oh, Ryan Gosling. As if we need yet another reason to love you, right? The Nice Guys actor opened up about the fairer sex, and why he'll never lose touch with his feminine side, to ES Magazine and we couldn't be more smitten. "I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately," he told the mag. And when asked what percent woman he'd claim to be, he replied, "I'd say 49 percent, sometimes 47 percent, it depends on what day you catch me." Good to know. Eva Mendes' significant other also admitted that he feels it's time for America to be led by a woman, without naming names. "I think it needs a woman's touch. I've always liked women more. I was bought up by my mother and older sister... My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better." Speaking of women, how does the star feel about all of the fan hype surrounding him? Especially those silly memes? "It's our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick," he replies when asked about being objectified in the media. "When my mother and I walked to the grocery story, men would Johnny Depp, George Lucas, & Jack Nicholson Were Reportedly Some Of Madam Heidi Fleiss' Celebrity Clients! Sh*t is about to hit the fan! In 1993, Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss carried around a "little black book" which contained the names of several rich and famous actors, musicians, athletes, and executives who used her services for sex! With the exception of Charlie Sheen -- who testified in court that he ordered girls from her –, the identities of these men have been kept a secret for over two decades... UNTIL NOW! According to Radar Online, sources say some of the men in this book include Johnny Depp, Jack Nicholson, George Lucas, Mick Jagger, Billy Idol, Hugh Hefner, and movie producer Robert Evans. It's important to note that these names are solely listed, but do not indicate that they engaged in prostitution. An insider said: "When the full list of these names get around, it's going to cause a sensation -- as well as the beginning of the end for many a celebrity's career!" In 1993, Fleiss was arrested and charged with tax evasion. In 1996, she was sentenced to seven years in prison, but only served 20 months where she was sent to a halfway house. She was eventually released in 1999. (Perez Hilton)

Debra Messing Receives Backlash After Posting A Selfie Amid UCLA Shooting News. What unfortunate timing... As we reported, UCLA went on lockdown after a murder-suicide occurred at the university's Engineering IV building. The incident claimed the lives of two men. When word broke out about the tragedy, Debra Messing just so happened to be participating in a campaign raising awareness for gun violence. When the actress saw the breaking news, she posted a selfie on Twitter to illustrate her point about the danger of guns. The Will & Grace star wrote and then deleted: Almost immediately, the 47-year-old received backlash from social media users who thought her photo was insensitive and in poor taste. She clarified: However, the New York-native eventually apologized, and said she was horrified how her message could be seen as insulting to those affected by the shooting. (Perez Hilton)

BTW ... the guy driving Tommy and Alan to the airport is a military vet who provided medical assistance until emergency crews arrived. Tommy took a pic with him after the incident. Talk about a dream team. (TMZ)

A text exchange allegedly between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's assistant purports to show a history of abuse in the couple's relationship dating back long before their marriage. The texts-from May 2014, four months after Depp and Heard's engagement-appear to be a conversation between Heard and Depp's assistant Stephen Deuters. In the exchange, Heard and Deuters discuss an alleged incident in which Depp kicked Heard. Heard also allegedly says the incident was not the first time Depp had acted violently toward her. "He's incredibly apologetic and knows that he has done wrong," reads a text attributed to Deuters. "He wants to get better now." "Yes but I don't know how to be around him after what he did to me yesterday. I don't know if I can stay with him," Heard allegedly answers. "Obviously he has no idea what he did or the extent that he did it. If someone was truly honest with him about how bad it really was, he'd be appalled," she allegedly continues. "I'm sad that he doesn't have a better way to really know the severity of his actions yesterday. Unfortunately for me, I remember in full detail everything that happened." Stephen allegedly writes back, "He was appalled. When I told him he kicked you, he cried. It was disgusting. And he knows it." Heard then allegedly responds, "He's done this many times before. Tokyo, the island, London (remember that?!), and I always stay. Always believe he's going to get better ... And then every 3 or so month [sic], I'm in the exact same position." Deuters and reps for Depp have not responded to PEOPLE's requests for comment. Heard filed for divorce on May 23. On May 27 she was granted a temporary restraining order against her husband of 15 months, after she alleged in court documents that the 52-year-old actor physically abused her throughout their four-year relationship. Along with two alleged attacks detailed in Heard's court filings, new photos obtained by PEOPLE show the actress with physical injuries allegedly resulting from a violent encounter with the actor. A rep for Depp has not responded to PEOPLE's requests for comment about the photos. In court documents responding to Heard's initial court filing, Depp's attorney, Laura Wasser, alleged that Heard "is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse." The texts were first reported by Entertainment Tonight. (People)

Amber Heard is not going through with her promise to belatedly file a police report ... because she says she still loves Johnny Depp and "doesn't want to bury him" ... so say sources connected with Amber. As we reported, Amber's lawyer, Samantha Spector, vowed Tuesday Amber would file a police report because she was being trashed in the media, thanks to Johnny and his team. We're told Amber has now had a change of heart, saying she believes a police report would trigger an arrest and prosecution, and she doesn't want to set the wheels in motion for People vs. Depp. Sources connected with Johnny scoff at Amber's sympathy, saying she timed the allegations to hurt his new movie, "Alice Through the Looking Glass," which tanked. Heard claims she still loves the man she now says repeatedly brutalized her. (TMZ)

Meek Mill should be celebrating his first night of freedom, but instead he's still on lockdown after failing to follow the judge's orders. Sources connected to Meek's camp tell us he got hit with an additional 8 days of house arrest to give him time to complete the right kind of community service, because he volunteered at all the wrong places. According to docs, the judge specified Meek needed to put in 90 days of work with the homeless, Habitat for Humanity or senior citizens and veterans. Meek's camp says that was never specified, but we've seen it in black and white. We're told Meek spent time visiting schools, helping out with Flint's water crisis and delivering motivational speeches. Another problem -- we're told Meek only worked 6 days per week. He did put in hours at homeless shelters, but clearly not enough. Meek's original release date was Wednesday, but the Philly D.A.'s Office says it will reevaluate once his volunteer work is completed. (TMZ)

Farrah Franklin, a former Destiny's Child singer, got busted for public intoxication -- note the red nose in her mug shot -- and allegedly told police she should've downed even more alcohol. According to cops ... Farrah got into an argument with a male friend around 3 AM Thursday outside a gym in DeKalb County, GA. When officers showed up she said she was not ready to go home, and added ... "These n***** won't leave me alone." Cops noticed signs of drunkenness -- odor of booze, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes -- and asked how much she'd been drinking. She fired back, "Not enough." Farrah -- who was in DC from 1999 to 2000 -- was arrested and booked for public intoxication and possession of a small amount of weed. Bail is set at $250. She's still in custody. (TMZ)

Prince died from an opiod drug overdose ... according to a report on the medical examiner's testing. The ME's Office has been conducting toxicology testing on the singer, and the AP quotes a source as saying it was an "opiod overdose." TMZ broke the story ... 6 days before his death, Prince had nearly died from a Percocet overdose that forced an emergency landing in Moline, IL ... where he had to get a "save" shot. Percocet is an opiod -- a combination Oxycodone and acetaminophen -- but the AP report doesn't specify what Opiod was in Prince's system. As we've reported, Dr. Michael Schulenberg was at Paisley Park the morning Prince died there -- and Dr. Howard Kornfeld's son was also there with opioids used to treat addiction. Our sources say the full ME's report will be released on Friday. (TMZ)

Wendy Leigh -- the best-selling biographer of Patrick Swayze, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Kennedy Jr. and other stars -- apparently committed suicide on Sunday by jumping off the balcony of her London apartment overlooking the River Thames. Leigh, a former paramour of press lord Robert Maxwell, had been distraught since the death of her mother in December. Shortly after, Leigh was all over the news when David Bowie died because of the revelations in her 2014 book, "Bowie." On May 22, Leigh posted on Facebook, "Five months today since my mother Marion died. I wish I could say it gets easier, but the truth is quite the reverse .?.?." On Sunday, a colleague at Britain's Daily Mail, where Leigh had freelanced, said, "It's very, very sad. There will have to be an inquest. Wendy had almost no family, so no memorial or funeral has been planned yet." Leigh was said to have broken into journalism by becoming Maxwell's lover. In 2011, 20 years after his death, Leigh told a TV interviewer about their first tryst in Geneva, and how Maxwell told her: "I haven't brought you here to make love to you, but because I think you're so interesting." Leigh's "Unraveled" erotica series was published in 2015, featuring S&M. A description on the Goodreads Web site calls the books' heroine, Miranda, "a free-spirited celebrity ghost-writer who gets swept up into a dark world of passion and glamor when she meets notorious billionaire Robert Hartwell, an irresistible dominant older man." In case anyone wonders whom Miranda was based on, Leigh had ghost-written books with Shirley Jones and Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone. One friend said of Leigh, "She knew a lot of powerful people. She knew their secrets." (Page Six)

Another items put on the auction block are Whitney's first and last passports, issued in 1985 and 2007, as well as her 2006 California driver's license.

Bobbi Kristina died at age 22 last July. Bobby has since remarried and he and new wife Alicia Etheredge Brown have two children together and one on the way. (Eonline)

There's a reason brides choose a posse of their closest BFFs to help them celebrate their big day. Sure, they can offer moral support and a glass of champagne when needed, but more importantly they're there to help with all the silly minutiae, like lacing you into the corset that may or may not be a size too small and lifting up your twenty-foot train so you can finally use the restroom. But how many of us can say that Posh Spice personally helped dress us with her own two hands on our big day? Eva Longoria can, which is exactly why her friendship with Victoria Beckham continues to be the stuff of legends. At the L.A. Film Festival's opening night premiere of her latest film Lowriders, Longoria was still sporting that post-honeymoon glow -- and gushing all about her bestie's beautiful dress. According to the actress, when she asked Beckham for the custom favor, the designer said, "Oh my God, that's awesome. [But] I don't do wedding dresses, I do dresses." Which worked out great, according to Longoria. "I didn't want a wedding dress," she said. "It wasn't my first rodeo and I just wanted something sweet and simple and elegant -- and no better person to do it than Victoria. So, I went to London a couple times for fittings and we went over fabric and styles. She pulled out all these fabrics and every single dress she's ever made. We looked at all the tops, bottoms, zippers, styles, and it was a really fun experience. I'm surprised nobody found out because I was always in London. I kept flying to London to do it and I was like, No one knows we're here right?" And Victoria wasn't just super involved in the design process, she was super involved in the nuptials as well. When asked about one moment that really stood out to her, Eva replied, "The tequila kind of blurred it all! But it was great. Victoria designed my dress and then I changed in the middle of the night and she changed me. She was just a hands-on designer. She unzipped my dress, took it off, put on the next dress and was like 'Let's go!' She was amazing. She was a true bridesmaid!" Longoria touched on babies and family as well, which is no surprise -- as she told PeopleStyle a few weeks before her wedding, as excited as she was to get married, it was all about so much more than the dress. "A dress does not make the wedding," she said. "The centerpiece of a wedding should be love. Not the dress. Not the food. Not the guest list. For me, I don't put that much importance on it." But until then the actress is busy entering a new, much more blonde phase for her post-nuptial life, and as she demonstrated in this post on Instagram, just like prepping for a wedding, it takes a village to be that beautiful.

Taylor Swift is getting support from a childhood bestie. Abigail Anderson- the subject of Swift's 2008 "Fifteen"-took to Instagram on Wednesday to give her pal a sweet shout-out after the singer's split from Calvin Harris. In the photo, Anderson holds a small note card with the words "My weird heart loves your weird heart." Anderson included a thankful caption with the post. "There are few things more significant or valuable than a friendship that will withstand the test of time," she wrote. "Thank you for getting me. Always. @taylorswift." The post came on the same day that multiple sources confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE that the 26-year-old singer and the Scottish deejay, 32, broke up after 15 months together. An insider told PEOPLE that "no one cheated." "There was no drama," the source said. "Things just don't work out sometimes." The breakup comes less than three months after the pair celebrated their one-year anniversary with a tropical getaway. (People)

That's amore? It sure looked that way when Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck brought their kids to Italy for another family getaway. Following a jaunt to Paris in early May, Affleck left the London set of The Justice League: Part One on May 25 to join the Miracles From Heavenstar, 44, as well as children Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4 (plus their nanny), at Venice's Gritti Palace luxury hotel. "A lot of the damage in their relationship has been mended," an insider explains in the latest issue of Us Weekly. "They're in a really good place." The couple -- who announced their intention to divorce in June 2015after 10 years of marriage -- have been living with their kids in London since April while the actor, 43, shoots on location. They're expected to stay in the U.K. until the film wraps later this summer. One Garner pal says their time together overseas has rekindled the flame. "Jen would get back together with him," reveals the friend. Yet others insist that the separated spouses' arrangement won't lead to a permanent reconciliation. "Ben and Jen are not getting back together," a source close to Affleck insists. "They're co-parenting and showing the kids Europe while he's there filming. That's all it is and they're happy with this arrangement." (US Weekly)

Look away, Evan Peters! On Wednesday, it was revealed that Emma Roberts has a new beau in her life. Already? In case you forgot, the American Horror Story costars had reportedly rekindled their romance back in September only to split earlier this month. And it seems we now know why, as Miz Roberts was spotted out and about in London this week with her reported new squeeze Christopher Hines. It's the said the twosome were all smiles as they chatted and grabbed coffee together in the busy city. Not to mention, the new couple just happen to both be pals with fashion designer Brit Elkin. LOVES it! In fact, an Entertainment Tonight source has since confirmed that the duo ARE in fact dating. Aww! The 25-year-old wasn't just in the U.K. for fun as she was also seen at several Dior events this week -- including the Dior Welcome Dinner at the Lady Dior Pub and the spring/summer 2017 Cruise collection at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, England. While we're heartbroken that Emma and Evan are no longer an item, we couldn't be happier for the Scream Queens starlet on her new budding romance. Bravo! (Perez Hilton)

Good news for Jonathan Scott! On Wednesday, it was revealed that the Property Brothers star will NOT be facing charges for his involvement in a bar brawl in Fargo, ND this past April. Phew! As you may know, the reality TV star was reportedly placed in a choke hold after getting involved in a fight between two other patrons at Dempsey's Public House. Oh no! Nonetheless, it seems that insufficient evidence made it impossible to legally go after the HGTV hottie. Fargo city attorney Erik Johnson confirmed: "Upon review of the police report and associated evidence, I found there was not sufficient evidence to establish a violation of either simple assault or disorderly conduct ... beyond a reasonable doubt." Well, well! Although, we can't say we're entirely surprised by this news since initial reports claimed that, at the time, Jonathan was simply trying to break up the altercation. It's said Scott and his twin Drew were only in town for an appearance at the Eco Chic Design Conference. (Perez Hilton)

Tyra Banks is slashing the price of her Beverly Hills home by a cool million after not being able to sell the place for months. The former "America's Next Top Model" host is selling her Spanish-style mansion for $6.5 million. It had been on the market since November, when she listed it for $7.75 mil. It's not a huge loss considering she bought the pad for only $3 million. Tyra's expanded the family so maybe she's looking for a bigger pad -- although this one has 4 bedrooms and 7 baths. There's also a pool and one of those garages that's been converted into a gym, plus lots of outdoor nooks with fountains for entertaining. Surprisingly, no catwalk. (TMZ)

The (hilarious) description reads, "This stuffed hornet undergarment is made of a stuffed cotton blend hornet lined with a nylon cup piece and worn with thin urethane clear straps. The hornet features wired antennae that can be bent into place. A wardrobe tag reading 'Stunt Jason w/ Hornet' is included." It continues, "The item shows minor wear and dirt stains from storage after filming, but remains in good condition." AKA It probably hasn't been washed... This is even better news considering Efron is currently a single man. The actor and ex-girlfriend Sami Miro broke up in April. A source told E! News they simply "did not have the same feelings for each other as they did when they first started dating" back in September 2015. Zac pulled the plug on the relationship, another insider added, who says "the spark had died." "It wasn't an easy breakup," the source explained. "Distance and work schedules got in the way with their relationship and Zac wanted to focus on his career." Since then, Efron has deleted all traces of Sami from his Instagram. (Eonline)

PGA Moves Golf Tournament From Course Owned By Donald Trump To Mexico Next Year! We wish we could say it was Donald Trump's ignorance that caused this, but we'll take it regardless! On Wednesday, the PGA Tour announced that it would be moving the World Golf Championships next year from Trump National Doral Miami to Mexico next year! What makes this such a momentous change is that the tournament has been held at Doral for 54 years -- even after Trump bought the course and resort back in 2012. We guess it's proof that long standing traditions and values CAN be ruined in four years. We kid... kind of. Surprisingly, the change of location has nothing to do with the presidential hopeful's DISGUSTING comments he's made while on the campaign trail. The move is actually occurring because a replacement sponsor could not be found after Cadillac's contract expired this year. As a result, the Championships will be played at Club de Gold Chapultepec and will be retitled the Mexico Championship. This change is all part of a seven-year agreement with Grupo Salinas, a group of Mexico City-based businesses that are overseen by billionaire Ricardo Salinas. The PGA Tour commissioner, Tim Finchem, even made sure to clarify that the move had nothing to do with politics or Trump's statements, as he said: "As we anticipated, some of the reaction revolves around the feeling that somehow this is a political exercise, and it is not that in any way, shape, or form. It is fundamentally a sponsorship issue. We are a conservative organization. We value dollars for our players. We have a strong sense of fiduciary responsibility. So we make decisions that are in the best interests of our players, short term and long term." Tim went on to say: "The decision made here was based on the reality that we were not able to secure sponsorship for next year's WGC at Doral or for out years for that matter. ... So from a golf standpoint, we have no issues with Donald Trump. From a political standpoint, we are neutral. The PGA Tour has never been involved or cares to be involved in presidential politics. I had an involvement in presidential politics, but that was over 30 years ago, and this is not a political decision." (Perez Hilton)

An actress who appeared in "Spider-Man 3" is suing the ultra-glam millionaire-lair restaurant and nightclub Beautique, claiming a drunk manager allegedly slammed her to the ground -- leaving her with a broken nose and bloodied face -- while fighting her for a cab near closing time. "I was assaulted, knocked unconscious and bloodied," a teary-eyed La Rivers said at a press conference outside Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday. "Worse than that, I had my sense of safety and security taken away from me." Beautique manager Edward Moffett, who has a prior criminal history, is facing assault and harassment charges. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to another attempted assault charge, and in 2011, he admitted to an aggravated harassment charge, Rivers' suit says. Rivers was celebrating the premiere of her short film "Love for Passion" at the Manhattan Film Festival last June when she went to the West 58th Street hot spot frequented by celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Bosworth. Her attorney, Gloria Allred, said the actress only had two glasses of wine as her father was visiting from out of town. "She was completely sober when she arrived and left Beautique," Allred said. When the leggy brunette tried to hail a cab outside the club around 2 a.m., Moffett, who had left Beautique around the same time, "started screaming angrily at Ms. Rivers, targeting her as a c–t and b -- h," Allred said. "Without any warning, Mr. Moffett attacked Ms. Rivers," Allred said. He hit her "with such force that she fell to the ground head first," the suit says. She awoke surrounded by friends and bystanders, with "blood streaming out of her nose, a black eye forming, and an enormous contusion on her forehead," the suit says. The struggling actress, who declined to give her age, suffered a concussion and four broken bones in her nose that will require reconstructive surgery. "For months I tried to wear heavy makeup to cover the scars," Rivers admitted, saying that she's lost work because of her appearance. Rivers is suing both the club and Moffett for unspecified damages. Allred accused Beautique of negligent hiring because a simple background check would have revealed Moffett's criminal record. A club rep was not immediately available to comment. Moffett, 42, of Brooklyn, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. (Page Six)

98 Degrees: Who's (Literally) the Hottest Guy From the Band? Here's Your Answer... There were often two arguments constantly debated among teen girls in the 2000s -- which boy band are you loyal to and who is the hottest member of the group. So, in both an effort to give you an entertaining slap of nostalgia while also answering those die-hard questions, we bring you a clip with the fine gentleman of 98 Degrees. The singers sat down with E! News recently for an interview, but we couldn't let these lads go without finding out who really is the hottest member of the group. Is it Nick Lachey? His brother Drew Lachey? Jeff Timmons?! Justin Jeffre?! We needed answers, so we began investigating. Oh, and when we say "hottest," we're being completely literal. We actually gave each band member a thermometer to see who's temperature is closest to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. C'mon, you didn't think we'd actually judge them by their looks, did you? First up was Drew, who came in at a strong 96.9 degrees. And he proved he was hotter than older brother Nick, who came in just below his sizzling sibling at 96.1 degrees. However, Timmons blew both Lachey brothers out of the running when he came in at 97.7 degrees, taking the lead as the hottest 98 Degrees member. But don't you dare rule out Jeffre. Just when you think you've crowned your victor, Justin's thermometer read a whopping 98.3 degrees. Yep, we have a winner! Justin Jeffre is literally the hottest member of 98 Degrees. (Eonline)

Christian Rock Star Trey Pearson Comes Out to Fans in Emotional Letter. Trey Pearson has climbed to the top of the Christian rock world as the lead singer of Everyday Sunday, spreading the good word via such hits as "Lies and Fear Go Hand in Hand," "Apathy for Apologies" and "Wake Up! Wake Up!," the most popular Christian rock song of 2007. And while audiences and typically conservative Christian radio have embraced the 35-year-old star of the Columbus, Ohio-bred band for the past 15 years, he was keeping a secret from them, and his family during that time. On Tuesday he shared that secret in an emotional letter first published by the Religion News Service. "I finally decided to come out because I couldn't keep trying to be something that I wasn't," Pearson told the News Service, which broke the story in advance of an upcoming 12-page cover feature about his coming out in Columbus' 614 Magazine. "I never wanted to be gay. I was scared of what God would think and what all of these people I loved would think about me; so it was never an option for me," he says in the614 interview. The decision to come out was not easy for Pearson, whose band has sold close to 250,000 albums over the years, with 2009's Best Night of Our Lives breaking into the Billboard 200 chart. Reared in a conservative Christian home where he learned that sexual orientation was a choice, Pearson says he knew from a young age that he was attracted to men, but pushed down those feelings to "be straight," marrying a woman eight years ago -- with whom he has two children -- in an effort to life the lifestyle his community expected. Even then, though, it was clear that he "was never going to be who my wife needed me to be." And while he will continue to practice his faith, Pearson said he realized he needed to come clean for himself, his family, and his fans. "I was not making it an option to be gay so I could be loyal to her and my children," he told Religion News Service writer Jonathan Merritt. "But then I realized the only way I was ever going to be my best for them was to be healthy myself." The decision may well have an impact on his career, but Pearson joins a slowly growing list of popular Christian musicians who've come out over the past decade, including Ray Boltz, Grammy-nominated singers Anthony Williams and Jennifer Knapp and worship music artist Vicky Beeching, who announced she was a lesbian in 2014. According to the News Service their careers have taken a hit among conservative Christian fans and radio programmers who typically see homosexuality as a sin, resulting in their music being dropped from playlists on radio and in churches. Pearson hopes his music career will go on, with a new single slated for release later this year and an upcoming gig at the Wild Goose Christian festival in July still on the books. "I definitely know how hard it was on my journey to be able to accept myself, and how other people's voices and stories helped me. So I absolutely want to be a voice for other people," he told Merritt. In a letter shared with the News Service, Pearson spoke directly to his fans about his decision. "Most of us reach at least one pivotal moment in our lives that better defines who we are," he wrote. "These last several months have been the hardest-but have also ended up being the most freeing months -- of my life. To make an extremely long story short, I have come to be able to admit to myself, and to my family, that I am gay." He discussed his conflicted feelings about his marriage and his love for wife Lauren, even as he's come to accept that "there is nothing that is going to change who I am... I know I have a long way to go. But if this honesty with myself about who I am, and who I was made by God to be, doesn't constitute as the peace that passes all understanding, then I don't know what does. It is like this weight I have been carrying my whole life has been lifted from me, and I have never felt such freedom." Pearson posted images of the 614 cover on the band's Facebook page on Tuesday with the message: "To my fans and friends: I'm finally being honest with myself. I love you all." To date there have been almost 1,000 responses to that post, ranging from loving acceptance to harsh rebuke. "I won't be buying any of Trey Pearson's albums he does not believe the truths of the bible obviously committing this abominable sin, he is not a Christian as of this moment I will be praying for him," wrote one angry responder. "Don't listen to the haters," offered another. "Love yourself and be proud of who you are." Another added, "Keep your head up. There are gay Christians in this world who are touched by your courage. You aren't alone." (Billboard)

Emilia Clarke in Me Before You: Inside Her Amazing Wardrobe. Emilia Clarke's wardrobe in Me Before You can be summed up in one word -- quirky! In the film, based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the Game of Thrones star plays Louisa "Lou" Clark, a small town English girl who goes to work as the caretaker of a wealthy man (Sam Claflin) who is left paralyzed after a horrific accident. "It's a very English look," the movie's costume designer Jill Taylor tells me. "What you see here is tame to what is on the streets of London." Most of Emilia's wardrobe was found in vintage stores. "We basically trolled everywhere," Taylor said. "We looked around everywhere." Not only did Taylor and her staff lend the movie some of their own items, Emilia's mom provided the poodle broach her daughter wears on a yellow raincoat because "she thought it was very Lou," Taylor said. Emilia was a dream to work with. "She's gorgeous and thank goodness she liked trying on clothes," Taylor said. "We were constantly nagging to get her in for a fitting." And, she added, "Emilia has a gorgeous little figure. She's not like a boy, she's not a stick. She's shapely. She's got boobs and a waist and hips. She's lovely and so pretty." We couldn't agree more. Check out many of Emilia's amazing looks in Me Before The film is in theaters June 3. (Eonline)

Room Oscar-winner Brie Larson could become the hero known as Captain Marvel. Emphasis on "could." The actress, also known for her roles in Short Term 12, 21 Jump Street, and (going further back) the teen comedy Sleepover, is in talks to take on the lead in the March 2019 film. Sources close to the project confirm to EW the studio and Larson are in early conversations about the movie, which does not yet have a director, and that she is the likely choice, barring any major breakdown. Justin Kroll of Variety was the first to report the news of her involvement. Marvel Studios declined to comment. Captain Marvel would be the first female title character in a Marvel Studios film, and she's one fans have been clamoring to see for years. (In the DC universe, Gal Gadot debuted as Wonder Woman earlier this year in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and will headline her own movie, scheduled for release June 2, 2017.) Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced the project in October of 2014, and confirmed immediately that this version of Captain Marvel would be a female character. "Let me clarify," Feige said. "Captain Marvel has gone by many names in the comics, has had many people who've inhabited that costume and used that power base. I want to make it very clear: This hero's name is Carol Danvers." Danvers was created in 1968, appearing in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 -- a Captain Marvel story -- as an American security officer working alongside Captain Mar-Vell, an alien sent to study the planet Earth. She debuted as the super-powered character Ms. Marvel in the pages of Marvel Comics after her human DNA was fused with genes from the alien race known as the Kree. She went on to inherit the title of Captain Marvel in 2012. Feige previously said this cinematic version of the character will "straddle two worlds. Her origins are very much Earthbound, but her adventures and power base come from the cosmic realm." The character almost appeared in a cameo at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, except ... they didn't have an actress at the ready. Unless thing go awry with Larson (as sometimes happens as Marvel tries to cast these films), that doesn't seem to be a problem any longer. (EW)

'Sicario' Sequel Lands Its Director. The film will be called 'Soldado,' the Spanish word for soldier, and will center on Benicio Del Toro's character. Italian helmer Stefano Sollima is in talks with Lionsgate to direct the sequel to Sicario. The film will be called Soldado, the Spanish word for soldier, and will center on Benicio Del Toro's character. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that a follow-up was in the works based on a Taylor Sheridan script with the hope that Denis Villenueve, who directed the first film, would return for the sequel. Green Room helmer Jeremy Saulnier was the frontrunner to land the Soldado gig once Villeneuve's schedule became too packed, but he couldn't make the dates work given the film's fall production schedule. James Brolin will be back as a CIA agent who plays both sides of the fence in the American war on drugs. Emily Blunt, who starred in the first film as a righteous FBI agent, will not return. Sollima, who is repped by CAA and Brillstein, is best known for directing the Italian miniseries Gomorra. The sequel is being produced by Basil Iwanyk, Black Label's Molly Smith and Thad and Trent Luckinbill, and Edward McDonnell. Lionsgate and Black Label are co-financing. (Hollywood Reporter)

SVOD Service Mubi Picks Up Cannes Un Certain Regard Winner, Competition Entry. The streamer takes theatrical and digital rights to 'The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki' and 'Ma Loute.' Having snapped up its first theatrical deal in Cannes 2015 with Miguel Gomes' three-parter Arabian Nights, growing SVOD service Mubi has used this year's festival to secure double the number of titles.

Ahead of Cannes, Mubi announced a year-long partnership with the festival's Directors' Fortnight sidebar to stream films that have screened in its program on its platform. (Hollywood Reporter)

Julie Andrews Has a New Show on Netflix With The Jim Henson Company and a Whole Bunch of Guest Stars. Julie Andrews and The Jim Henson Company are teaming for a new Netflix show, but who cares if it's aimed at preschoolers, it's Julie Andrews and Jim Henson puppets! In Julie's Greenroom, which will premiere in early 2017, Andrews will teach an all-new puppet cast of kids learning about the performing arts. She'll play Ms. Julie, the director of Wellspring Center of the Performing Arts. Andrews created the series with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton and Judy Rothman-Rofe. She'll also executive produce. Giullian Yao Gioiello also stars as Gus, the devoted assistant to Andrews' character. The puppets are called "Greenies," a new generation of diverse kids who are into the arts. Guest stars include Alec Baldwin, Sara Bareilles, Joshua Bell, Tituss Burgess, Carol Burnett, Chris Colfer, Robert Fairchild, Josh Groban, David Hyde Pierce, Bill Erwin, Ellie Kemper, Idina Menzel, Tiler Peck and Stomp.

Famously Single's Aubrey O'Day & Brandi Glanville Dish on Relationship Mistakes, Reveal ''Great Sex'' Can Be Blinding! Celebrities are just like us, they make mistakes in their relationships. Aubrey O'Day and Brandi Glanville admit to having relationship struggles during an exclusive interview with E! News' Will Marfuggi. O'Day and Glanville are co-stars on the upcoming E! series Famously Single, where eight celebrities explore their past relationship problems and try to find out what's holding them back from having a successful romance. "It's very difficult finding love and we're finding ourselves in a place where we're continuously making the same mistakes and choosing the wrong people," O'Day explains in the video. "And we wanted to understand why we were doing that and to see if we could get help on this little thing we call love." So what are some mistakes they've made in the past? "I think that for both of us our pickers are off," Glanville reveals. "We tend to choose people that might not be great for us, over and over and over again." Both O'Day and Glanville also agree that "great sex" can be blinding in a relationship and can sometimes overshadow all of the other warning signs that may be popping up. "It does, it's hard to give up," Glanville admits. What else did the co-stars reveal about their relationship mistakes? (Eonline)

Masterchef Is Back to Save You From Your Summer Boredom (or Your Netflix Queue Stress). It's summertime, people! You know what that means? It means you finally have time to catch up on all the shows you missed this TV season! Haha JK that actually means that in addition to everything you're behind on, you also have about a thousand new shows will be premiering over the next few weeks. Including, thankfully, this summer's edition of Masterchef. After the premiere, it's clear that this year's competition will remain very familiar, despite some famous faces leaving the show. Graham Elliot has followed in Joe Bastianich's footsteps and departed the series, leaving Gordon Ramsay and last year's newbie Christina Tosi to judge as a duo (with celebrity guest judges joining throughout the season, including Wolfgang Puck, we're told). The first hour, like last year, featured the top 40 hopefuls facing off in an attempt to make the top 20. Each battle would see contestants with similar dishes or back stories (or both) going head-to-head, with only one of them earning a white apron and a spot on the show. There was a southern chick, a professional poker player, a firefighter, a teacher, a nurse -- pretty much everyone you would expect the casting department to get a hold of. The unfortunate reality of the early rounds of this show is that it's kind of a waiting game. We're impressed by the way the contestants cook (and kind of hungry, too), but it's not like we can actively start rooting for anyone until we know who's going to stick around. Plus, the cocky "I'm the best" talk gets a little old (especially after you're hearing the sixth person say a variation of the same thing). What did you think of the Masterchef premiere? Any early favorites, or are you just waiting for the real competition to begin? Masterchef airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox. (Eonline)

Martha Stewart is about to cash in big-time on a new Amazon project. The domestic diva is making a comeback to TV by taking her "American Made" online store to the small screen with a new project for Amazon Prime that would earn her up to $200,000 per episode. "It's a one-hour TV show where she's going to assert herself into businesses and help people craft and create goods. She'll get her hands dirty and help them create and build a better business and products to sell," a source explained. Former Home Shopping Network exec Andy Sheldon came up with the idea for the new show and sold it to Amazon. We're told onetime NBC entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman is a person of interest to executive produce. "They want to bring someone else in because it was Andy's first time selling a show. His background is producing music and shows for HSN, and they want someone who is more experienced to oversee the budget, which is around $4?million. Martha will get around $200,000 an episode," said the source. Stewart will travel to different American cities and help entrepreneurs upgrade their small businesses while highlighting their handmade products. It's unclear how many episodes the e-commerce giant will order, but the show is expected to begin shooting in two months for a premiere in the "fourth quarter" of this year. Stewart introduced American Made in 2013 on eBay, for which her team at Martha Stewart Living handpicked several crafts and products to sell via the online market. She parted ways with eBay and brought the folksy arts-and-crafts store to Amazon in 2015. We're told the products created on the show will also be available on the Web site. But "right now, it's strictly a development deal. That's the first stage," an insider said, adding there's no exec producer yet, but Silverman "has a lot of fans" at Amazon. Stewart's rep didn't comment. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia -- an empire that included TV, books, magazines and a home line -- was absorbed by Sequential Brands last year. (Page Six)

The sudden exit of the executive producer of Chelsea Handler's new show was much less harmonious than a rosy press announcement suggested. On Friday, Netflix sent out a press release about the departure of Bill Wolff from its series, "Chelsea," after only nine episodes, along with a statement from Handler saying: "I'm grateful that Bill was part of the pioneering effort to get Netflix's first talk show off the ground." But Page Six has learned that Wolff, who served as the executive producer of ABC's "The View" for a year, got the boot because he clashed with Handler. A source told us comedian Handler and Sue Murphy -- a longtime collaborator who serves as senior supervising producer for the show -- were "butting heads" with Wolff. "Chelsea had Sue fire him, and they agreed to put out mutual statements being nice," said the insider. "But Bill and Chelsea had totally different ideas and can't stand each other." A Netflix spokesperson didn't comment, and Wolff didn't get back to us. (Page Six)

Sherri Shepherd is not angling to replace Michael Strahan on "Live With Kelly." Shepherd recently said, "I think people would be ready for a woman with Kelly [Ripa]," but she wasn't throwing herself into the ring. Sheperd's p.r. rep Simone Smalls told us her client was "joking," and is too busy with the sitcom "Trial & Error," which shoots in LA. In fact, Shepherd wants Strahan's "GMA" colleague to replace him. "I think T.J. Holmes would be perfect for the job .?.?. He's funny and extremely handsome," Shepherd said. (Page Six)

Tamar Braxton appears to be reeling still from being dropped as a co-host on The Real. "I don't understand. I could probably understand more if I know I did something, but I don't know what I did," Braxton says through tears in an exclusive preview clip from Thursday's episode of Braxton Family Values. "I just feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me." Braxton's departure from the syndicated talk show was announced May 22, just one day after the singer posted on Instagram that she had been "stabbed in the back." There has been speculation that Braxton was referring to the remaining co-hosts-Tamera Mowry-Housley, Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon and Loni Love- on social media, but a source close to the show tells PEOPLE that "none of the co-hosts had anything to do with the decision. There was no conspiracy, and no one was trying to stab her in the back." In the Family Values preview clip, Braxton, 39, says she feels "disrespected," "let down," and "disregarded" and that there had "never been a conversation" about why she would be let go, but the source maintains that her manager-who is also her husband, Vince Herbert-was given ample warning about the decision before it was announced to the public. "The executives wanted to handle the transition with grace and dignity. They let Vince know about the decision on May 18 and wanted to bring Tamar in to discuss it, but he didn't want to tell her until after her Smokey Robinson tribute performance [on May 19]," says the source. "On May 20, they went ahead and told her agent as well. That's the day they actually wanted to make the announcement, but they waited. They were trying to be respectful and wanted to talk to her directly, but Vince wouldn't allow it." The source also refutes the claims that the decision to not renew Braxton's contract "had anything to do with race." "Shows make decisions like this every day," says the source. "There was no grand scheme against her." Still, Braxton is left with questions. "I mean, I guess I'm okay with change," she says in the preview clip. "But can we respect each other in the change? Can I get that?" When asked for comment, a rep for The Real said the show is not commenting any further than the initial press release. "The Real and Tamar Braxton have mutually decided that Tamar will not be continuing with the show for its upcoming third season. She will be leaving in order to concentrate on her solo career," read the release.

Sony Pictures Television Chairman Steve Mosko Exits. Mosko had been at the company for 24 years. There's another shakeup at a top TV studio. A day after Bela Bajaria's exit from Universal Television, longtime Sony Pictures Television chairman Steve Mosko is set to exit, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter. It's unclear who will take over Mosko's post, though SPT presidents of programming and production Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg remain potential candidates. Mosko had just been promoted from president to chairman last September, but sources tell THR his contract was not renewed after he and the studio could not agree on terms. The TV veteran had been at SPT for 24 years. SPT declined comment. The departure comes weeks after the broadcast upfronts, which saw SPT sell five studio shows to the networks, up one from last year. Those new sales include a Blacklist spinoff, time-travel drama Timeless from Shawn Ryan and Erik Kripke -- both for NBC -- and Kevin James' new CBS multicamera comedy Kevin Can Wait. Given the increased push for ownership as broadcast networks continue to vertically align themselves with their studio counterparts, independent studios like Sony Pictures TV have found retaining full ownership to be increasingly challenging. Key to SPT's sales this year was the studio's willingness to do co-productions in which they share ownership of the series with the broadcast networks. News of Mosko's departure comes as SPT had contributed more than 60 percent of parent Sony Pictures Entertainment's operating income. SPE CEO Michael Lynton announced in 2013 that the company planned to make a major shift from film to higher-margin TV. SPT has a large roster of programming across broadcast, though it has yet to sell to Fox. The company boasts NBC's key performer The Blacklist as well as ABC's The Goldbergs, with reliable unscripted hit Shark Tank at ABC. On the cable and streaming side, the studio produces Masters of Sex, Preacher, Better Call Saul, Bloodline, Outlander and The Get Down, with Powers set up at PlayStation as well as several other series for digital platform Crackle. Mosko also oversaw the studio's syndicated fare, including Jeopardy! and Days of Our Lives. (Hollywood Reporter)
