Lisa Ling Gives Birth to a Baby Girl! See the First Photo of Her Second Child. And baby makes four! E! News can confirm Lisa Ling and her husband Paul Song welcomed a baby girl into the world Monday evening at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. "Welcome our baby girl," Paul shared on social media with the first photo of his newest family member. "Ray (of light) Ling Song." The post comes after the proud dad shared a picture from the hospital where he revealed Lisa's water broke. Lisa also dropped a hint that it was almost go-time when she shared a candid moment with her family on Instagram. "Last weekend baking with Baba as an only child," she wrote on social media with a photo of her husband and daughter. "#emotional." While the former View co-host has spoken candidly in public about her two miscarriages, the journalist recently admitted that she's surprised to be a part of the "celebrity mom" culture. "I don't see myself as a celebrity per se. I've been working in television for a long time, and I take what I do as a broadcast journalist very seriously. But my work has been seen on TV for long time. So people seem slightly interested in my personal life," she shared with Today's Parent. "Also, I talked about my two miscarriages before I had my baby. The miscarriages made me feel alone and defeated. No matter how confident a woman you are, they can really affect you." The This Is Life With Lisa Ling host continued, "When I talked to people I realized it's OK and it's quite widespread. So when I was about to have my baby, there was interest as to whether she was going to be all right." As both parents get used to their new family of four, Lisa feels grateful that she has such a helpful and supportive husband along for the ride. "9 years! Ours has, by no means, been a perfect journey, but there's no one I'd rather be doing life with right now," she shared on Instagram while celebrating their anniversary. "And he can still take down a 40 ounce porter house like the best of 'em. #rideordie." Congratulations to the couple on newest arrival! Us Weekly was first to report the news. (Eonline)

Today Anchor Savannah Guthrie Pregnant With Baby No. 2. Savannah Guthrie is reporting some breaking news of her own -- she's pregnant! The 44-year-old Today co-host revealed she's expecting her second child during Tuesday morning's broadcast of the daily news program. Nearly two years ago in August, Guthrie welcomed her first child, daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman, with husband Michael Feldman. "Mike and I are so excited. We're expecting a baby in December!" she declared during the broadcast after pulling a question, "Are you pregnant?" from the desk's bowl of questions. Colleague Hoda Kotb joked with Guthrie, telling her she thought something was strange when she noticed the journalist hadn't drank any wine during a dinner. "I've been fake drinking for some time now," Guthrie admitted. While the journalist looks elated to be expecting again, she did note that she unfortunately won't be joining the team for live coverage of the summer Olympics in Rio to avoid contracting the Zika virus. Though the announcement was met with hugs and congratulatory wishes from the entire morning team, the co-anchor noted not everyone was immediately thrilled about the new baby. "There's only one person who's kind of not sure how she feels about it," she continued, showing a clip of Vale visibly upset about the news of being a big sister while wearing a "I was here first" t-shirt. "I think Vale wants to be alone," the mom joked. Congratulations to Guthrie and her family on this exciting news! (Eonline)

Tom Cruise hasn't seen his daughter Suri, 10, in nearly three years because the Church of Scientology forbids its members from associating with nonbelievers, sources say. Since his ex-wife Katie Holmes is not a Scientologist, and neither is Suri, Cruise has reportedly not seen his daughter since she was 7. "If he wanted to see her, he could see her," one source said. "Even people in prison have a right to see their children." Holmes spokeswoman Leslie Sloane had no comment, and Cruise's publicists didn't get back to me. Suri, who lives and goes to school in Manhattan, is said to be a smart, well-behaved girl. "She's thriving. She's got lots of friends and a nice, normal life. This is his loss, his issue, his problem," said my source. "He must be really brain-washed." In Touch first reported it's been 1,000 days since Cruise saw his daughter, even though Cruise sued the magazine's parent company, Bauer Publishing, in 2012 for reporting that Cruise had "abandoned" Suri. The $50 million defamation suit was settled the following year on undisclosed terms with each side paying its own legal fees. Tony Ortega, who writes about Scientology on his Web site, TheUndergroundBunker.com, told me Holmes qualifies as an SP, suppressive person, by the cult-like group, and Suri would be deemed a PTS, potential trouble source. "But the thing about Scientology is, celebrities get to break all the rules," says Ortega. "That's why I find this so mysterious." (Page Six)

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Get Into a Twitter Feud With Piers Morgan. Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are in a war of words with Piers Morgan. The supermodel, 30, and the musician, 37, got into a spat with the journalist, 51, over a tweet he wrote about the late Muhammad Ali. "Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about whites than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims," Morgan wrote Sunday. The backlash was inevitable, and as he's done on previous occasions, Morgan decided to defend his views via his Daily Mail column Monday. "I didn't intend to disrespect Ali with my tweet, as many claimed," he explained. "Why would I when just 24 hours earlier I had written a heartfelt tribute to him as the greatest superstar icon of my lifetime? But I did intend to offer the anti-Trump brigade some historical perspective about their own hero as they vented their collective spleen. Of course, that spleen then promptly vented itself on me, but I make no apology." "It is a fact that Muhammad Ali said a lot of very inflammatory, racist things after he joined, in the '60s, the Nation of Islam, a virulent organization run by Elijah Mohammed. Frankly, Ali's statements during his 10-year status as the group's most famous 'frontman' were not just outrageously racist but also anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic," Morgan wrote, later telling his readers, "Let's cut the absurd, deluded pretense that Muhammad Ali wasn't a man who spewed a lot of very hateful, racist claptrap when he was young, because he indisputably did." According to Morgan, Ali "grew up, matured and in the process changed dramatically in his views and beliefs." The champion boxer, who died over the weekend at age 74, "didn't waste a day, morphing from angry firebrand activity to public advocate for global peace and harmony." Both Ali and Trump are "both bombastic, supremely cocky showmen with a love for belittling opponents, talking up their own genius, fighting with everything that moved and skillfully manipulating the media to fuel their personal and professional brands," Morgan argued. "As Trump prepares to take on Hillary Clinton for the presidency, he may wish to take a leaf out of his old friend Ali's book and dial down some of his own race-charged rhetoric." After the column was published, Legend and Teigen sounded off. Legend backed off, but Teigen was just getting started. In the midst of the Twitter war, Teigen attended a Clinton fundraiser at The Greek in L.A. Monday night, in which she called Trump a "racist." She also joked about Trump's belief that Clinton has only prevailed politically because she is playing the "woman's card" in the media. "This woman card has been awesome," she joked. "It's been so good at getting us equal pay." (Eonline)

Though sources have told PEOPLE that he's an emotional mess amid domestic violence allegations made by his estranged wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp ended his European music tour with a bang. The actor/musician and the Hollywood Vampires performed at Romexpo Parc in Bucharest, Romania on Monday for the band's final concert abroad as they are set to finish the rest of their summer tour dates stateside. "Johnny was so in his element," a source tells PEOPLE. "His backing vocals were good. And he was interacting with the audience a lot. He seemed to be having a great time." Depp, 52, expressed his thanks to his fans not just with his music, but with some accessories as well, according to blogger Ionut Bunesco. "Johnny thanked [fans] in Romanian, which the crowd really enjoyed. The crowd was screaming with joy. There was lots of clapping and cheering," Bunesco shares with PEOPLE. "He also thanked [fans] a lot in English and said that he loves us. He seemed really happy all the time, he smiled a lot, and threw guitar picks and his scarves into the crowd." The Hollywood Vampires crew also surprised the Alice Through the Looking Glass star with a cake to celebrate his June 9 birthday. Not only were Alice Cooper and Joe Perry on stage with Depp but Tim Burton was also spotted hanging out on the side. "Tim Burton was at the side of stage and clearly loving it. He was so into the music, rocking his head while hanging on a rig," a source shares with PEOPLE adding that the Golden Globe-winning director had previously filmed footage of the band at Bran Castle. The footage is slated to air during the band's U.S. concerts from July 1 to 17. Following the gig, Depp and the band were seen partying on the top floor of his hotel, which was heavily secured by body guards. While Depp has been traveling, Heard has "consulted" with renowned feminist lawyer Gloria Allred's California firm Allred Maroko Goldberg. The actress "had a four-hour meeting with the firm in Los Angeles on Friday," according to a source. In this week's issue of PEOPLE, new photos show Heard 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. However, In court documents, Depp's attorney Laura Wasser alleged that Heard "is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse." (People)

Amber Heard's friend iO Tillet Wright has spoken out in a dramatic way about the allegations of domestic abuse against Heard's estranged husband, Johnny Depp -- claiming she saw the evidence of physical harm. Wright, a photographer and TV host, who was named in the actor's divorce filing, fired back at a report by TMZ on Monday, June 6, which claimed that two concierges from the apartment block where Heard and Depp lived, had denied seeing "evidence of any facial bruising," after the alleged iPhone attack on May 21. "BULLS--T," blasted Wright, who took to Twitter to defend her friend Heard. "I've had enough. I saw the bruises. Many times. And the fat lip. And the cut head," she continued. "How much evidence does a woman need to present?! She has photos, texts, witnesses, and filed a restraining order," she went on. "This culture of victim blaming makes me sick. I'm a witness. I'm here. I'm standing up. I can't take any more of this witch hunt. I was on the f--king phone when he hit her. I HEARD HER SCREAM. I will testify. Here and in court. Under oath. WHAT ELSE DOES A WOMAN NEED?" In a court filing to support an application for a restraining order on May 28, Heard named Wright as the person who was on the phone with her, at the time of the alleged abuse. Heard, 30, said in a signed affidavit, that Depp, 52, had demanded she call Wright to "prove his paranoid and irrational accusations about some delusional idea he was having," adding that he had screamed "profanities and insults at iO." As Us Weekly reported previously, Depp's divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, denies Heard's allegations, saying the actress "is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse."

In a new interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts, set to air on 20/20 Tuesday, Bobby Brown, implicates Nick Gordon in the deaths of both his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. "It's not a mystery to me. The same thing that happened to my daughter is what happened to Whitney," Brown, 47, told Roberts. "There's only one person that was around both occasions," he added, to which Roberts replied, "You won't say his name-Nick Gordon is who you're referring to." "I won't say his name," Brown said. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Gordon's attorney, Jose Baez said: "We have repeatedly said that Nick Gordon is innocent of any wrongdoing. He has not been charged with any crime. Enough is enough; let's end this baseless speculation." Houston-who raised Gordon-died in 2012 at age 48 after being found unresponsive in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel. Officials announced that the legendary singer died of an accidental drowning. Contributing factors included heart disease and cocaine use, an investigation found. On July 26, 2015, Bobbi Kristina died nearly six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. She was 22. The Fulton County Medical Examiner found she died from a combination. Gordon, who was Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend and lived with her at the time she was found unresponsive, has denied all wrongdoing and has not been charged by authorities in connection with her death. In an April episode of The Dr. Phil Show Gordon, 26, said: "Regardless of what everybody thinks, I made Krissy and Whitney's last few years on earth as happy as they would be. I gave them somebody to trust to, to talk to, to be there, someone genuine." Following Gordon's appearance on the talk show, Brown joined his daughter's conservator as a plaintiff in the $50 million wrongful death civil suit against Gordon. The renewed motion states that "the defendant ignores this Court's mandates but freely discusses his role in the incident which led to the horrific injuries to Decedent Bobbi Kristina Brown on public television" and "fully and freely discusses the version of the facts and circumstances which gave rise to this litigation." The 20/20 interview will air at 10 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, on ABC. (People)

Amber Heard -- who claims she was the victim of domestic violence by husband Johnny Depp -- was herself arrested for domestic violence against her then-domestic partner ... TMZ has learned. According to law enforcement sources and documents, Amber and Tasya van Ree got in an argument on September 14, 2009 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Amber allegedly grabbed and struck Tasya in the arm, which upset Tasya and triggered the arrest. Amber was arrested and booked for misdemeanor domestic violence. Her mug shot was taken and she appeared in court the following day. TMZ has obtained audio of the court hearing, where the prosecutor declined to move forward with the case -- we're told because the women both lived in California. The judge told Amber she was not off the hook ... prosecutors could reconsider and refile within the 2-year statute of limitations. Amber thanks the judge and leaves the courtroom. We reached out to Amber's lawyer ... so far no word back. (TMZ)

The Game believes he's dodging real bullets in Chicago now that a judge has granted his request to postpone a court hearing. According to legal docs, the rapper asked the judge to push a June 16 hearing for his sexual assault lawsuit in Illinois. He cited a massive outbreak of violence over Memorial Day weekend in the city ... where about 70 people were shot and 6 died. Game thinks it's likely there will be a bunch of revenge shootings, and fears he could be caught in the crossfire. Priscilla Rainey, who filed the suit against Game, didn't oppose his request. The judge signed off, but hasn't set a new date yet. The trial's set to start in November, unless Game and Rainey reach a settlement. (TMZ)

Will Smith will have a special role in Muhammad Ali's memorial service on Friday. The actor, who portrayed the late boxing legend in the 2001 Oscar-nominated film Ali, is set to be a pallbearer, according to Entertainment Weekly. The three-time heavyweight champion died at the age of 74 on June 4 at 9:10 p.m. MST, days after being treated for respiratory complications at a Phoenix-area hospital. The cause of death was "septic shock due to unspecified natural causes," family spokesperson Bob Gunnell confirmed on Saturday. Ali's casket arrived in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday ahead of the June 10 funeral and public memorial service, which will be held at KFC Yum! Center at 2 p.m. local time and open to the public. Fans will also be able to stream the service online. Former President Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal and Bryant Gumbel will give eulogies. Smith, 47, paid tribute to Ali in a Facebook post on Saturday writing, "You shook up the World! My Mentor & My Friend. You changed my Life. Rest in Peace." And in 2015, Smith spoke fondly of his "very unique connection" to the sports hero. "For nearly two years, I worked to transform myself into the man who changed his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali and shook up the world," he said about on Ali's work and career during a speech at Sports Illustrated's 2015 Sportsperson of Year ceremony. "And that's really what makes my job so beautiful as an actor-for four, five months at a time I get to wear peoples' lives. So I got to wear Muhammad Ali's greatness. I got to study and feel and embody the soul of the man, from the foundations of Islam and the strength of his Muslim faith in his life, to the beautiful wake that he always leaves in his magnificent path," Smith continued.

A Minnesota judge on Monday approved an aggressive timeline for testing claims of heirship to Prince's estate. In a one-page order, Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide approved a protocol proposed by the trust company overseeing his affairs. It gives existing claimants until Friday to file sworn statements detailing their claims to have a genetic relationship with Prince that would make them heirs, since no will has surfaced. New claimants will get a week from filing their initial notices to file the three-page questionnaires, which ask for details on parentage, along with supporting documents such as claimants' birth and parents' marriage certificates. The special administrator would let claimants know within three days whether their claimed familial relationship is already established as a matter of law, or if DNA testing is necessary. Those rejected could file objections with the judge. The claimants so far include Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, several half-siblings, a Colorado prison inmate who says Prince was his father and others. The next hearing is June 27. (Page Six)

Conrad Hilton Sentenced to Two Months in Prison. Conrad Hilton is headed to prison. On Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Suzanne H. Segal revoked probation for the 22-year-old hotel heir. Conrad was sentenced to spend two months in prison after he failed several drug tests and was removed from a court-ordered residential substance abuse treatment program. According to the courts, Conrad tested positive for drugs -- including cocaine, marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids -- three times within a year, violating the terms of his probation stemming from an outburst on an international flight in 2014. His attorney, Robert Shapiro, persuaded the judge to allow his client to self-surrender to federal authorities within 48 hours. During the hearing, assistant U.S. attorney Alexander Schwab said Conrad was given multiple chances to obey the terms of his probation. "What we haven't tried yet is a custodial term," he said, noting that Conrad has reoffended "in precisely the same way -- over and over and over." Conrad, whose parents joined him court, asked the judge to let him serve the 60-day sentence under house arrest at his grandfather's home in Palm Springs; he said it would be easier to avoid his friends in L.A. who are "a bad influence." As for Rick Hilton and Kathy Hilton's home? Conrad said it's a "bad environment" where he's "used to just sitting there and getting high 24-7." He also asked to do a "work program" instead of doing hard time; that request was denied. Robert made a bid to have the judge lower the jail sentence to 30 days, but she rejected the idea. Suzanne warned Conrad that he must stay sober before turning himself in by Wednesday. In 2015, Conrad pleaded guilty to attacking several flight attendants during a British Airways flight from London to L.A. A judge placed him on three years' probation and ordered him to complete 750 hours of community service. During that nearly 11-hour trip, Conrad physically threatened two crewmembers and repeatedly smoked marijuana and cigarettes in the airplane lavatory, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He also referred to his fellow passengers "peasants" and accused flight attendants of "taking the peasants' side." He was later restrained and handcuffed. "I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss," he told them, per the complaint. "My father will pay this out; he has done it before. Dad paid $300,000 last time." Six days after pleading guilty to the charges, Conrad was arrested again for allegedly violating a restraining order by visiting his ex-girlfriend's Hollywood Hills home. In a separate court case in May, Conrad pleaded guilty to a charge of evading arrest. He was sentenced to 90 days in sheriff's custody, with 89 days in the work release program, and was also given three years' probation. Conrad had been charged with one felony count of reckless evading of a peace officer, stemming from a 2014 incident in which he fled from a California Department of Fish and Game officer who pulled him over for speeding. Conrad pleaded not guilty to the charge in September, but withdrew the plea during a felony settlement conference. (Eonline)

Kimbo Slice, Viral Internet Sensation and MMA Fighter, Dead at 42: Stars React. The world has sadly lost yet another athlete. Just days after the death of boxer Muhammad Ali, undefeated boxer and mixed martial artist Kimbo Slice passed away at 42 years old on Monday, the UFC and Bellator MMA announced in statements. No cause of death has been revealed as of yet, though Slice was reportedly hospitalized in Florida on Monday. "We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice, a beloved member of the Bellator family," Scott Coker, president of Bellator MMA said in a statement. Slice had been under contract with the company from January 2015 up until his untimely death. "One of the most popular MMA fighters ever, Kimbo was a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that transcended the sport." Originally named Kevin Ferguson, the famously bearded athlete originally worked as a bodyguard and bouncer while rising to viral fame online as an underground fighter. By 2007, he had attracted enough attention to be signed to a professional contract. After his loss to fellow MMA fighter Seth Petruzelli in 2008, Slice went on to win The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights in 2009 and competed in the 2010 UFC against Matt Mitrione, to whom he lost by total knockout. After a short hiatus from the sport, Slice signed with Bellator MMA and continued to win fights, though in February 2016, he failed a pre-fight drug test and his fight against Dada 5000 was ruled a no contest. The athlete was slated to fight James Thompson in London on July 16. Meanwhile, the Bahamas native also dabbled in boxing, acquiring an undefeated record through seven fights. He also famously appeared in several films, including The Scorpion King 3. "While he will never be forgotten for his fighting style and transcendent image, Slice will also be remembered for his warm personality and commitment to his family and friends," the UFC wrote in a statement. "Outside of the cage he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man. His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts," Coker added. Slice is survived by his girlfriend Antoinette Ray and six children, one of which is a MMA fighter. Celebrity admirers and colleagues flocked to social media to pay their respects to the industry legend. (Eonline)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

J.K. Rowling Makes a Plea to Fans: Don't Spoil the Plot of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. As preview performances of the upcoming London play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, arrive, acclaimed author J.K. Rowling wants all muggles to abide by this simple rule: keep your mouths zipped. In a video shared on YouTube, the wildly successful creator of the franchise made a plea to all fans. "You've been amazing for years at keeping Harry Potter secrets so you didn't spoil the books for readers who came after you," she said while looking straight into the camera. "So I'm asking you one more time to keep secrets and let audiences enjoy Cursed Child with all the surprises that we've built into the story," she continued, adding on Twitter, "Potter fans have always had each other's backs." Slated for debut at the London Palace Theater, the stage production chronicles the life of the series' beloved protagonist Harry Potter as an "overworked" employee of the Ministry of Magic and his son Albus Severus Potter 19 years after the last book finished. Months before playing out on stage, the show already sparked controversy for its casting of Noma Dumezweni, a Swaziland-born British actress, as Hermione Granger, portrayed by Emma Watson in the films. Many took issue with Dumezweni's darker complexion, though Rowling has made it clear that her initial descriptions of the character never mentioned race. "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione," she tweeted in December in response to the outrage. Dumezweni will join Jamie Parker in the role of the boy who lived and Paul Thornley as the third member of the magical crew, Ron Weasley. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set to begin preview performances on July 7 while a printed version of the play will be released at the end of the month. (Eonline)

Kate Moss and Look-Alike Teenage Daughter Lila Grace Cover Vogue Italia. Kate Moss is used to gracing the cover of just about any edition of Vogue, but this month marks the very first time that the world-famous model has landed a cover shoot with her teenage daughter Lila Grace Hack. The look-alike duo posed for Vogue Italia's June issue, snapped by famed photographer Mario Sorrenti, and the gorgeous black-and-white shots are just now making their way online. The magazine posted the very first glimpse at the cover on Instagram, noting that the stunning mother-daughter twosome was both wearing Versace for the "it's all about family"-themed spread. But it's important to note that this isn't Lila's big Vogue debut, as she was featured in the pages of Vogue back in 2011 when she was a bridesmaid in her mother's wedding to Jamie Hince. Earlier this week, Kate opened up to Net-a-Porter's The Edit about her parenting tips, saying, "I'm really strict, but I think they quite like it. [Lila] says that I'm stricter than other parents." She added, "I don't have to say anything. You've got to get a look down. Girls, you have to scare them, otherwise they will take over." And by takeover, does she mean the modeling world? Only time will tell for 13-year-old Lila! (Eonline)

No, Prince Harry Isn't Actually Dating A Rock Star's Daughter (but They Do Look Cute Together). Because who wouldn't call Prince Harry their boyfriend if given the opportunity? A possible new (and regal!) couple alert started making headlines after the young royal was posed in a photograph that labeled him as a young woman's boyfriend. But that's not actually the case, people. It was just a joke. Olivia Tallent, daughter of Garry Tallent who is in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, had the wonderful pleasure of making Harry's acquaintance when Harry showed up to enjoy the band's performance at Wembley Stadium as part of their The River tour. So, obviously, the 19-year-old took a snap with Harry. And, also obviously, captioned the adorable photo, "new boyfriend," on Twitter, because why waste the chance? She also posted the photo on her Instagram, and wrote, "Princess Olivia has a pretty nice ring to it, right?" Well, as harmless as that may have been, it sparked romance rumors because people didn't get the joke (and also, because that's the way the Internet works). To that, we offer the gentleman's facial expression in the background of their picture as our response. Tallent cleared the air soon afterward by tweeting to everyone who was speculating on their relationship, "I'm not actually dating Prince Harry, guys. Let's not be ridiculous here." Prince Harry is no stranger to romance rumors. In fact, he's constantly thrown in the ring when it comes to whether or not a certain beauty has become the center of his love life, and one in particular has been in mentions for years now -- Pippa Middleton. Almost directly following the royal wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William, their siblings were shipped by royal fans everywhere. And they almost got what they wanted when an article claimed Pippa and Harry were in a "secret romance" for years, but alas, it wasn't true. The Daily Star printed the story in December 2015, but Prince Harry complained about it, saying the story was "completely untrue." "The article had clearly attributed the claims about the complainant and Ms. Middleton to the U.S. magazine. While it had not contained a positive assertion of their truth, there was no suggestion that there was reason to doubt their veracity. "Furthermore, the article had stated that 'Clarence House had declined to comment' but the newspaper had not argued -- in response to the complaint -- that such an approach had been made. The only conclusion which the committee could draw was that the newspaper had not sought to verify the claims, as reported." So what have we learned? Calling Prince Harry your boyfriend will create a stir on the interwebs, and, more importantly, Prince Harry is still single. (Eonline)

Kim Kardashian-West has said that she is truly "baffled" by the outrage over her showing some skin on social media. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star could not believe the uproar that one shot, which saw her pose completely naked with two black bars protecting her modesty, caused earlier this year. She said: "I truly was baffled when people still cared. They have seen me naked 500 times. The censor bar literally was probably more covered than a bikini. I could not grasp how people were so outraged." Speaking to Kara Swisher on Recode Decode, she said: "My personality has never been, 'I'm such a feminist and follow me and be naked!' If you are conservative and that's how you are comfortable, more power to you. I respect you. You don't have to look at what I do. "If I like the photo, and I'm into it, I'll post it...I just think it looks good. I'm really not trying to cause a reaction. "I have such a thick skin. I've been in the business for a longtime, and there's always been a lot of haters in the work that I do. People used to always say, 'Don't read the magazines. Don't pay attention,' and it was so hard. I used to say I didn't but I really still cared. I'm at a point where I really don't care so it doesn't affect me." Despite making her name on a reality TV show, Kim insisted she is much more private these days. She said: "Pre-marriage, pre-babies, the answer would have been everything was shareable. After, I would say I keep a good 30 percent to myself." (British Glamour)

Burger King Just Made a Burrito and What's Inside May Give You a Heart Attack. Nothing can save humanity now. Suddenly Taco Bell isn't the only creator of insane fast-foods. McDonald's, Pizza Hut and now Burger King are getting dramatic with their junk food. If you think you've seen it all lately, you are mistaken, my friend. BK, home of the Whopper, rolled out the Whopperrito, and it's sure to destroy your stomach from the inside out. If you haven't already guessed why they've decided to give it that name, we'll tell you. The new item is actually a Whopper (yes, like the famous hamburger), rolled into a tortilla. Byeee! GrubGrade gave us the first look, saying it's currently available in the town of Hermitage in Pennsylvania. In other words, it looks like they're just testing it out for now. We're not sure if it should stay that way, or if we like the possibility of seeing a national release. The Whoppers beef, tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, mayo, cheese, onions and pickles are packed into burrito form for your gorging pleasure. Is this actually delicious? Or just a clever way to sell Whopper scraps when your burger accidentally falls out of the bun? We may never know. (Eonline)

Yusuf Islam Releases Video for Song Inspired by Child Refugees, 'He Was Alone': Yusuf Islam was so overwhelmed by the plight of child refugees during a recent trip to Turkey that he penned an emotional song in their honor, "He Was Alone." The singer formerly known as Cat Stevens appears in the video for the spare, emotional ballad playing the haunting electric organ accompaniment amid scenes of a child fending for himself after leaving his family behind. "He was alone, when he was 12/ Only his thoughts, which he kept to himself/ He didn't have a place to play/ A friend to call, or a word to say," Islam sings in the track that mixes the fear and desperation of child refugees with hopeful dreams of rainbows, white horses and a return home. "While the world faces incomprehensible numbers and statistics created by the refugee crisis the tragedy and story of a single soul gets missed," Islam wrote in a statement accompanying the video inspired by his recent trip to a region in Southern Turkey on the Turkish/Syrian border. "It was difficult to stand by just watching this tragedy without trying to do something. I simply decided to help humanize the narrative and lend my voice to the call for keeping hearts and doors open to every refugee, especially youngsters, who have lost what future they might have once hoped for." "He Was Alone" is the first new music from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer since his 2015 album, Tell 'Em I'm Gone. Islam will perform at a concert at the Westminster Central Hall on June 14 in honor of the #YouAreNot Alone charity. (Billboard)

Charley Pride Hints at Darius Rucker Collab Ahead of 2016 CMA Music Festival. This week proves to be an exciting one in Nashville with the CMA Music Festival kicking off. Close to 100,000 fans will attend the festivities in Music City each day. While the attendance might have changed over the years, there's always been a twinge of excitement in the city each June. For over 30 years, the event was called Fan Fair-and Terri Clark has fond memories of what took place then at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. "I've been coming here this week since 1988 when it was called Fan Fair," she recalled for Billboard. "I went and stood in line for so many artists' autographs because someone got me into the back door at the fairgrounds. I'll never forget that, what it means for people to come here for this week." Among the artists that she recalls meeting were Reba McEntire and the late Keith Whitley-less than a year before his passing in May of 1989. The songstress was one of many artists on the bill Monday night (June 6) at the Wildhorse Saloon as part of the Seventh Annual Darius and Friends concert. Organized by Clark's fellow Grand Ole Opry star Darius Rucker, the concert benefits St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. Rucker says that seeing the sold-out crowd that stretched around Second Avenue made him very nostalgic. "It reminds me of the club days when you would show up, and the line was down the street," Rucker said. "You felt like a lucky man. It's really cool to see that and to know that they're here to support St. Jude's and this cause. It's an organization that the Capitol Nashville superstar has become well aware of. "I've been down there to see the doctors and the work that they do-as well as the nurses, the kids, and the parents, and the administrators, and all the great work that they do. I'm just proud to be a part of it." The concert is part of a two-day series of events that Rucker is participating in on behalf of the hospital-his annual celebrity golf tournament. "That's a good way for us to raise a lot of money for St. Jude's. I always love raising money for good causes, but this is a lot of fun. All the industry comes out, and a lot of musicians, as well. It's a fun day of laughter and golf, and we all try to beat each other." Is there any one artist that Rucker hopes to emerge victorious over tomorrow? Rucker jokes that Charles Kelley always has his time and attention. "Yeah, I think he's playing," Rucker said sheepishly. "That's my guy. I'll be watching him. I always keep an eye on what Charles does." Making the evening special for Rucker was the appearance of Country Music Hall of Fame member Charley Pride. "When he said yes, I couldn't believe it," he said. "He's such an icon and legend. I know that word gets overused, but he is, because of the kind of person he is and what he's done in the music business. I'm blessed to call him friend, and that he would come out and do this for me." Pride admitted that the feeling was mutual. "I met him backstage at the Grand Ole Opry when he broke into Country Music. I've considered myself to be friends with him ever since. I like him, and he's having a tremendous career. I'm very proud of him," stated the singer, who hinted at a possible upcoming collaboration with Rucker on a duets album. A repeat visitor from last year's concert was Scotty McCreery, who agreed that St. Jude's deserves every bit of its' esteemed reputation. "I had heard a lot of good things about them over the years," said the former American Idol winner. "But, until you go down there and see what they're doing, you have no idea. There are some kids down there that are going through some very serious stuff, but they are smiling. They've got doctors that are spreading a good vibe all around. The energy there is incredible. I've been to a lot of hospitals before, and performed for kids, but there's never been one like St. Jude's. They take care of the patients, as well as their families. And, it's thanks to events like this that they can do that." Rucker, whose current single is the emotional ballad "So I Sang," says he's glad his event serves as the unofficial kick-off to Country Music's biggest week. "I remember when we started this that we wanted to do something for St. Jude's. We knew there was nothing on Monday during CMA week, so it worked out good. Now, we sell out before anyone knows its coming. So, that's a pretty cool feeling." The CMA Music Festival runs June 9-12. (Billboard)

Is Ashley Tisdale Coming Back for High School Musical 4? Is Ashley Tisdale up for a High School reunion?! The 30-year-old actress, who played Sharpay Evans in all three High School Musical movies and the Disney Channel original movie Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, revealed to New You magazine that, alas, she will not be returning to the cast for High School Musical 4. "Looking back, it was such a perfect thing for its time and was so pure that I just don't know how you go from there," Tisdale told New You. "High School Musical didn't make us, we made High School Musical because of our friendship, how close we were and the magic there at the time." Although HSM 4 will sport an all-new cast, Disney revealed the movie will feature a character named Campbell, who is Sharpay and Ryan Evans' cousin. Many fans took this familial fact to mean there might be a cameo from Tisdale or Lucas Grabeel in the upcoming film, but Tisdale's response sends a clear message that we can count her out. Ten years after the original HSM, Tisdale has further established herself as an actress, businesswoman and producer. She recently finished filming Amateur Night and will be playing the voice of Cinderella in the upcoming film Charming. Tisdale teamed up with BH Cosmetics for her new makeup line, Illuminate, and collaborated with Signorelli to create her own clothing line. She also runs a lifestyle blog, The Haute Mess, and has her own production company, Blondie Girl Productions, which produces hit shows Miss Adventure and Young & Hungry. Despite all of her accomplishments, however, she said it has been a challenge to transition from her role as an actress to a serious businesswoman in the production industry. "Anything that I've gotten...TV-wise and movie-wise, is me really fighting for it," Tisdale said. "I think that journey is what makes me so grateful for everything. If I was handed stuff all the time I don't know if I would be the person I am today." It's no wonder, then, that one of her role models is fellow singer-actress turned fashion mogul Jessica Simpson. "Monique Coleman actually always laughs because I loved Jessica Simpson, especially at that time [of filming HSM]," Tisdale told the mag. "Monique just never understood it, but I think I just could see that she was a really smart businesswoman and I could see that what she's done is amazing. Recently, Monique called me and said, 'You know I used to make fun of you all the time. Now I see what you're doing and now I understand it. And now I see what [Simpson] has done.'" Tisdale says her production company is "really about women's empowerment," and many of its films feature strong female characters that she hopes will be role models for younger generations. But don't worry, she has no plans to give up acting anytime soon. "One of my main goals is to win an Emmy for Best Actress," Tisdale told Health just last year. The original cast of High School Musical also remains close friends and some of the core members came together in January to celebrate the film's 10-year anniversary. "I just love that we all still love each other and love hanging out with each other and have that connection," Tisdale told ET Online. "It was a really special moment in our lives." While Sharpay's fabulous, dramatic character will be missed in the upcoming film, we can't wait to see what's next for Tisdale as she breaks into the business world. (Eonline)

Disney's Zootopia Is a $1 Billion Blockbuster: How It Evolved From a James Bond Spy Movie to a Political Buddy Cop Comedy. Disney pulled a rabbit out of its hat with Zootopia. Taking the industry by surprise, the movie crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office over the weekend, becoming the second film of 2016 to reach the milestone. Even wilder? Zootopia is only the fourth animated title in history to earn $1 billion, following Frozen ($1.28 billion), Minions ($1.16 billion) and Toy Story 3 ($1.06 billion), not accounting for inflation. "It's a little mind-bending," director Rich Moore admitted to E! News in celebration of the movie's release on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD and Digital HD. "I cannot even visualize a billion dollars." Zootopia, which is entering its 18th week of release, has grossed $337.2 million domestically and $662.8 million internationally. Eleven of the 26 films to earn over $1 billion now belong to Disney. "It's funny. That number is huge," director Byron Howard marveled. "We really break it down in our heads to how many people have seen the movie -- that makes us feel great." The movie follows Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), the first rabbit to join the city's police force. Determined to prove herself (and get out of meter maid duty), Judy jumps at the chance to solve a mystery. But to do so, she must team up with a sly fox named Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman). Howard and Moore worked on Zootopia for half a decade, which makes its riches all the more rewarding. Of course, developing it was a team effort. "It didn't begin as a buddy cop movie. It began as a spy movie," Moore revealed. "Our stories, they're organic as we're developing them. We have a great group of filmmakers here at the studio that we're a part of called the Story Trust. When Byron was first working on this movie, it was kind of like a James Bond story with the animals. As it was pitched, the group kind of listened to what Byron was talking about, and the first act of his original idea took place in this big kind of city, this metropolis that was all animals, and then our James Bond character went to an exotic locale where the story took place. So he pitched this to the group and kind of the overall feeling was, 'Wow, that first act with the animal metropolis -- that is so cool!' It was really easy to kind of see that. The group's imagination really took off. Byron though, 'Well, maybe it's not a spy movie that I'm trying to tell here. We've got this great world in the first act -- why would we leave that?' And then the story started to take on this form of a cop and a con working tougher to solve a crime." Howard said they hit it off with storyboard consultants Jared Bush, Phil Johnston and Jim Reardon in particular, given that they "all have a deep love of film noir and detective stories." The pressure to deliver was on. "It was a great challenge for us because we had all these detective films from the past that we love. Jim said that this is probably a lot of young people's first introduction to a detective procedural, like a mystery story. So we thought, 'Well, we really need to do a good job and give 'em a good one.' That was probably one of the hardest things in doing the movie is this mystery," Howard told E! News. "And they're hard. They're hard to do." The filmmakers had always pictured a fox and a rabbit as the leads in Zootopia, though in the beginning, the story was told from Nick's perspective, not Judy's. "I kind of had an affection for foxes ever since I was a kid. Actually, I wanted to have a real fox and I begged my dad to give me one and he said, 'No.' He was wise, because they're very bite-y animals, I've learned; they don't make good pets," Howard recalled. "And also, I loved Robin Hood growing up. That was right in the pocket of my childhood when that film came out. I loved that feeling of that world." After Howard and Moore finished production on Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph, respectively, they were ready to pitch Zootopia to John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios and DisneyToon Studios. "I mentioned to him that we hadn't done one of these films -- an anamorphic animal film in a long time -- and he grew up on The Wind in the Willows, which is another Disney film, so he was right with us. He really wanted to get behind us and do this. We knew it had to be different than any other animal film that we'd ever done, so we did a lot of research and tried to make the world as specifically true to what makes animals great as possible," Howard said. "Early on, there was a little bit of discussion like, 'Well, should Nick be a bigger animal, like a tiger or a bear, just for more contrast?' But one of the things that I think Rich and I really liked about the fox and the rabbit is that even though Nick is a predator, he's a small predator. So he's still an underdog in this world where there are lions and polar bears and buffalo. He still deals with them. They relate to each other so well." By the time the story was laid out, it was time to cast the characters. As luck would have it, their top choices hopped on board immediately. "We knew we needed someone for Nick who can be charming and smooth and intelligent and have a depth and a warmth to him, and with Judy, she had to be this determined, very pure of heart, fiery character," Moore said. "We got very lucky because we got both our top choices with all of our cast, but especially with Nick and Judy. We mainly went to Jason Bateman because he's just that guy in the world right now who does that kind of role so well. And he's everything in person that you want him to be. He's got all the charm and intelligence and savvy, and you just fall in love with him right away. He was the perfect choice for Nick. And for Judy, we needed someone for that character who would have great chemistry and could be right in line with how intelligent Nick is. Ginnifer is so smart and fiery -- but sort of in this pure, sweet, funny way. She was just the embodiment of Judy." In addition to Bateman and Goodwin, the voice cast includes Tommy Chong, Idris Elba, Bonnie Hunt, Shakira, J.K. Simmons, Jenny Slate, Octavia Spencer, Nate Torrence and Alan Tudyk. "The rest of the cast, it's very diverse. We wanted to represent the reality of a diverse world, because our world is diverse. We're not all the same. We're all very, very different," Moore explained. "So we wanted to try to have an international cast. We wanted to have a feeling of a world city in Zootopia, like Los Angeles or Tokyo is, or London or Shanghai. It's a mix of people from all over the place, and in the same way, we tried to do the same thing with our casting." Zootopia is perhaps more political than any other animated Disney film has ever been. This decision, Howard says, was accidental. "It never started out as being a message movie. We did want to make the movie about something, because I think one of the great conventions of a talking animal movie is that usually the world and the characters are a metaphor for our world and for us. It allows us to talk about more complex subjects. This one began with this idea of, 'Well, what if predators and prey evolved and were living together in this city? Then suddenly that social contract is broken. What would it be like in this world of natural enemies if all the civility went away?' It felt like, 'Wow, this is a really juicy topic to form a story around.'" During its development, however, the political climate became hard to ignore. "To see the current events that were going on in our world as we were making the film, it became apparent that while this is more topical than we even imagine. It's part happy coincidence, part intentional." It was a risk that paid off, as the movie has resonated with people all over the world. "It's just very gratifying for us to see this happen," Howard said. And, given its massive success, don't discount the possibility of a Zootopia sequel. "The reaction from the public has been so good and so strong. We love the world and we love the characters. Whenever you do these movies, you hope that the movies match on like this," Moore told E! News. "Honestly, the world is so vast that you could tell 100 different stories in the city. We love the characters. We'd love to see more done with the movie and more done with the world." "Sometimes a movie will feel like, 'Well, that's the end.' The story ended and it's all kind of nicely tied up and it doesn't really ask for anything beyond that," Howard added. "But this feels like a world that has a lot more to be explored, and I think the characters are so appealing that for myself, I would love to see more. I think there's a lot more to be mined in Zootopia." Just don't put Zootopia 2 in the hands of Flash, the "fastest" three-toed sloth in the DMV. "If it were up to Flash," Howard joked, "we'd be pretty old men by the time we did another one." Zootopia is out now on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD and Digital HD. (Eonline)

U.K. Box Office: 'Warcraft' Conquers, but 'Me Before You' Wins Weekend. 'Warcraft' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2' both enjoyed four days of previews. Despite landing in third place, Me Before You, the first film adaption of one of British author Jojo Moyes' novels, was the real winner over an unusually sunny U.K. weekend. Warner Bros.' Emilia Clarke-starring drama overcame middling reviews and criticism from campaigners who described it as "disability snuff" to take a debut bow of $2.6 million, making it the No. 1 title Friday-Sunday. However, it was Warcraft: The Beginning that claimed the top spot for the whole week, thanks to a seven-day opening that saw Duncan Jones' computer game adaptation plunder $5.3 million for Universal. The CGI actioner did just enough to see off another newcomer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, whose $5.1 million debut was also boosted with some assistance from four days of previews. Paramount's amphibian sequel fell short of its predecessor's 2014 bow of $6.9 million. Further down, Alice Through the Looking Glass added $2 million in its second week to bring its total to $10.1 million, while X-Men: Apocalypse fell just over 50 percent in its third week with $1.8 million. Fox's superhero installment now sits at $22.9 million. (Hollywood Reporter)

Iceland Boosts Tax Break to 25 Percent. 'Game of Thrones,' 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and Netflix's 'Sense8' are among the recent productions to shoot in Iceland. The parliament in Iceland has approved an increase in the country's tax incentive for film shoots, boosting its tax break from 20 percent to 25 percent. The new incentive with kick in on Jan. 1. The parliament in Reykjavik has renewed Iceland's popular tax incentive program until 2021. Iceland has been particularly successful at attracting big-budget feature films and TV series to use its stunning natural landscape as a backdrop. It stood in for the icy planet of Hoth in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and is the world beyond the Wall in Game of Thrones. Several big series have also shot there, including Fortitude, the crime drama from Sky, and Netflix's sci-fi series Sense8. The battle for runaway productions is heating up across Europe. In January, France increased its rebate incentive from 20 percent to 30 percent of local spend, and Norway joined the club with a new 25 percent tax rebate. Romania has introduced draft proposals for a tax scheme of its own, and German producers are pushing their government for a more generous scheme, one that doesn't cap rebates for big-budget features.

Sookie's Back! Your First Look at Melissa McCarthy in the Gilmore Girls Revival Is Here. It's real. There's proof that Melissa McCarthy will be in the Gilmore Girls revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Yes, we had all the public statements from McCarthy and those involved about Sookie St. James' much hyped return (remember when she said she wasn't asked?), but now thanks to costume supervisor Brenda Maben, there is photographic proof that McCarthy did indeed put that Sookie scarf back on while on set of Netflix's new series of Gilmore Girls movies. The photo below was shared with the very simple caption: "#gilmorecostumesjoylove." Maben also posted a snap with Matt Czuchry who was looking extra dreamy as Logan Huntzberger/himself, also with the same caption. "I went back for a set visit and to see all the sets and everybody back in those shoes again -- I got really sentimental. It was nice," McCarthy told E! News at the Time 100 gala in April. "I think [fans] are going to be really happy. I think they're going to be thrilled." Details about the revival are still being kept under wraps, but we do know that in addition to Czuchry and McCarthy, returning stars include Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, Scott Patterson, Yanic Truesdale, Sean Gunn, Keiko Agena, Liza Weil, Milo Ventimiglia and Jared Padelecki. No premiere date for the new series for movies has been announced. (Eonline)

Oops! The View Co-Hosts Try Fill Dead Air Time After Whoopi Goldberg Accidentally Signs Off Three Minutes Early. If anyone ever doubted The View was live, Whoopi Goldberg disproved that theory Tuesday morning. After the show returned from its final commercial break, she jumped the gun about three minutes early. "Welcome back. We are live-streaming after The View on Facebook Live and we're talking about whether Taylor Swift scared off her last boyfriend Calvin Harris," she said. Goldberg then launched into the topic prematurely. "Apparently she jumped the gun with the marriage thing and the baby talk and freaked him out," she said. "What do you think, Ray?" Raven-Symone laughed at Goldberg's mistake as she read from the teleprompter. "Well, I think that Disney's Zootopia was just released on DVD and Blu-ray," she said. "Thanks to our parent company, Disney, members of our audience are getting copies." Goldberg moved on as if nothing had happened. "Thank you! Have a great day," she said. "Take a little time to enjoy the view, y'all!" Then, as cameras were still rolling, she asked the show's producers, "Was that it?" "No!" Joy Behar said. Everyone at the table -- including co-host Paula Faris and guest co-host Sarah Haines -- shared a laugh over Goldberg's gaffe. "This one time..." Haines joked without finishing her sentence. Goldberg responded by quoting 1999's American Pie. "This one time at band camp..." she joked. The co-hosts tried to fill the dead airtime by discussing the rumors regarding Swift and Harris, but Goldberg made it clear she was disinterested in the topic. "You know, I don't think I care as much. But that's OK because you don't need me to care. Y'all need to care because it's an interesting conversation," she said. "Does this happen to her and then she writes about it? Does she cause it to happen?" Raven-Symone yelled, "Yes!" but No one else cared about the exes' alleged drama. Furthermore, Faris couldn't let Goldberg's minor mistake go. "Can I add a subject to the streaming show?" she asked. "I do want to talk about band camp. Can we?" Goldberg tried to sign off once again. "You know what? I'm going to say goodbye now because she just freaked me out," she said of Faris. "We want to thank you for coming, because we're proud to have a live audience. We are live every day, unlike very many people. We want you to have a great day and take a little time to enjoy whatever view you happen upon." (Eonline)

Scott Speedman Was Told to Put His Shirt on for Animal Kingdom, Which Is Just Absurd. Hide the sweaters, hide the muumuus. Listen, we don't want to get anyone fired or anything BUT we're going to need someone over at TNT's new drama Animal Kingdom, which we here at E! News are already obsessed with, give a stern lecture to their directors for us. Why? Because they told star Scott Speedman (aka one of our all-time TV boyfriends) to keep his shirt on. Seriously. The Felicity star appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Monday night, and told the devastating story about being told to put his shirt back on after doing a shirtless scene for the new show, which debuts on June 14. After admitting "for years" that he was "so nervous" about taking his shirt off in scenes ("I'd be like, 'No, give me a sweater or muumuu!'"), Speedman, 40, said he was prepared to shed his shirt for Animal Kingdom, which centers on a group of surfing brothers in Southern Calif. "So we start doing the scene and the moment comes, and I take it off and finish the scene, and the director comes over and says, 'Great job, we're going to go again, keep the shirt on in this one,'" Speedman said. "So the shame of putting the shirt back on and the one tear going down the cheek." Speedman plays Baz, the oldest of five brothers, in the gritty crime-family drama, which also stars Ellen Barkin, and admitted, "It's been an hilarious adventure trying to keep up with these young dudes," before jokingly adding he doesn't pay much attention to the actor closest to him in age, Shawn Hatosy. Funnily enough, when we looked for photos from the show, most of the brothers are shirtless, while Speedman is fully clothed. THE. INJUSTICE. Animal Kingdom premieres, minus shirtless Speedman scenes, on June 14 on TNT. (Eonline)

Will Fuller House Meet Growing Pains? Alan Thicke Books Season 2 Guest Role. Will Dr. Jason Seaver be showing the Tanners that smile? For those not in the know on TV theme songs, that means Alan Thicke of Growing Pains fame is guest starring on Fuller House when it returns for a second season on Netflix. Thicke starred on ABC's Growing Pains from 1985-1992. His costar: None other than Fuller House star's Candace Cameron Bure's real-life brother Kirk Cameron. Thicke took to Twitter to announce his guest spot, which got many sitcom fans buzzing about a possible crossover. "Fuller House is over its growing pains. Renewed season 2. See you there. See me on it. #fullerhouse @netflix @candacecbure @bobsaget," he tweeted. Request for comment from Warner Bros. and Netflix was not immediately returned. John Stamos, who will return to Fuller House as Uncle Jesse and as a producer on the series, teased surprise guests were coming for the second season. "We're just kind of going full steam again. It's a lot easier this year because we know what the spinoff is now. We know the moves of Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin and Andrea [Barber] and those actors. We saw that people like the two guys that DJ [was dating]. We're adding some fun characters and the legacy cast -- that's what they're calling us -- we're going to be spread out through the season," Stamos told E! News. "There are a few guest stars that could be surprises for everybody that I'm working on, but as far as the show, we're just in a better place to make a good, solid sitcom now." Could the Seaver family and Tanner clan occupy the same TV universe? It's possible: Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) crossed over with Full House from Family Matters and Michelle Tanner (Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen) appeared on an episode of Hangin' With Mr. Cooper. But Cameron, who played Mike Seaver on Growing Pains, appeared as a Tanner family cousin in a 1988 episode of Full House. No premiere date for Fuller House season two has been announced. (Eonline)

Just call it "The car where it happens." Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda joined Late Late Show host James Corden for a special Broadway-themed edition of Corden's popular "Carpool Karaoke" series Monday night. Six-time Tony-winner Audra McDonald, Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson and 30 Rock alum Jane Krakowski also got in on the fun, singing their way through some of the Great White Way's most well-known showtunes. Miranda and Corden started the ride by rapping two songs from Miranda's record-breaking, musical, including the show's opening number "Alexander Hamilton." Corden had previously rapped a part of the song on his hit late-night show, alongside Rosie O'Donnell. The 37-year-old host then took the reins from the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, giving Miranda, 36, a history lesson by rapping through the speedy "Guns and Ships"-the first time the Hamilton track has been heard on TV. This wasn't the first time Miranda has rapped Hamilton songs on CBS. In February, the 36-year-old and his cast performed during the 2016 Grammy Awards-moments before accepting the Grammy for best musical theater album. McDonald, Ferguson, and Krakowski joined the ride later on, harmonizing their way through the emotional "Seasons of Love" from 1996's Rent and "You're Just Too Good to Be True" from 2005's jukebox musical Jersey Boys. The whole car came together at the end, for an epic performance of "One Day More" from the 1987 film Les Miserables. The special Broadway edition of "Carpool Karaoke" comes as Corden preps to host this Sunday's Tony Awards, which air live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. Hamilton is expected to be the big winner after nabbing 16 nominations-the most of any show in history. (People)

The Good Wife Spinoff Scoop: Alicia Florrick Closure, New Faces and More. The story of Alicia Florrick ended with The Good Wife, but that doesn't mean you've seen the last of her. Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo are headlining a spinoff anchored on their two characters, Alicia's (Julianna Margulies) coworkers from the law firm. The events take place a year after the finale which saw Alicia betraying Diane (Baranski) in court after she instructed Lucca (Jumbo) to attack Diane's married life in cross examination of Diane's husband, Kurt (Gary Cole). The series ended with Diane slapping Alicia, awakening Alicia to what she has become -- everything she hated -- only to straighten herself up and walk toward her future. Good Wife co-creators Robert and Michelle King are penning the script for the spinoff, which will be run by Oscar nominee Phil Alden Robinson of Field of Dreams fame. The spinoff, which the Kings said is still coming together, will, in a way, force the writers to sort of provide more closure, a future to what happened after Alicia left that back hallway. "It's difficult only because you don't want to taint something that felt complete to us," Robert King told E! News while promoting their new summer series BrainDead. "One of those things we're seeing if it works is seeing if Julianna can guest on the show. It's not going to be going in the past, it will be continuing in the future... It is its own story and you want it to be its own story, so that is difficult and that's one of the things we're trying to break." "I would say one of the challenges is to figure out how to balance the new characters -- we'll be introducing new characters -- and the ones that people love from The Good Wife," Michelle King added. Fans assumed any spinoff would be about supporting players, guest stars such as Carrie Preston's Elsbeth Tascioni, not people tied so closely to the story of Alicia Florrick that was the center of The Good Wife. "That's the thing, could you really pass that up? Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo and hopefully we'll get some faces you'll recognize, but we really also want it to be about new faces too," Robert said. Look for the tone to match The Good Wife, but perhaps a little darker than you'd expect. "It won't be on network TV so, the parameters are a little broader because it is on All Access," Michelle said. "One can go more towards an R-rated show that one couldn't do on network TV." "Here's the thing. The Good Wife didn't start out as an ensemble, but the actors were so much fun you went there. So, we could say one thing, but it might go in a different direction," Robert said when asked whether the untitled spinoff would be more of an ensemble drama. "I think what we're talking is what people responded to most in The Good Wife, it would be an echo of that. I thought it was a strong kind of family-like dynamic among these characters. I think we'll go for that again just because, A) That's the most fun to write and b. Christine Baranski is shown off to good effect and Cush is shown off to good effect." It didn't take much to convince the two actresses to sign on. "We had one or two conversations and they just wanted clarity and they were pretty enthused," Michalle said. "They love the characters. It's fantastic." But there was some difficulty. After all, it's Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo. "I do think the difficulty was getting them early because they're so desirable. They were going to be snapped up," Robert said. However, it all worked out, despite a moment when they had to ask Baranski to let them know if she was close to a new project. "[Christine is] great, because she does love the character and she does want to see where the character will go." The Good Wife spinoff will premiere on CBS proper in 2017 before moving over to CBS All Access, the network's streaming platform. (Eonline)

UnREAL Is the Same "Demented" Show In Season 2, Don't Worry. Worried that UnREAL, Lifetime's terrifying (though fictional) behind-the-scenes glimpse at a reality dating competition, might lose a little of its edge in season two? Don't be. Star Constance Zimmer, who plays ruthless TV producer Quinn, promises the show will be as gritty as ever as it explores another season of faux reality hit Everlasting. "We're not going to try and top it," Zimmer tells E! News of what the show has in store for the second season (someone died in season one, remember). "What we want to do is we just want to still create the same good, solid, crazy, dark, demented show again." That goes for everything in front of and behind the Everlasting cameras. "The people behind the scenes are even worse than they were before because they also feel this pressure of, 'Come on, last season somebody died and we had incredible ratings,'" Zimmer explains. Season two will see both Quinn and Rachel (Shiri Appleby) promoted to higher-up positions in the Everlasting chain of command -- which will not sit well for Quinn's sometime-lover, sometime-nemesis Chet (Craig Bierko). The duo are "completely at odds," Zimmer says, and there's no hope for a reconciliation (at least early on). "I am not happy with him at all. He doesn't deserve Quinn right now." Quinn quickly proved herself as one of the most powerful characters on television, and Zimmer thinks it's because Quinn has no qualms about saying whatever passes through her head. "She's crazy and she doesn't care. She has no filter and I think any character that has no filter is so appreciated by an audience because she's kind of that inner voice we all wish we could say," Zimmer says, adding, "I think it just makes her this incredible voice for women, saying, 'It's okay. Don't be afraid. Be strong and own it and it's alright.'" UnREAL season two premiered Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on Lifetime. (Eonline)

News industry veterans are sniping that Yahoo was caught seriously off guard by Katie Couric's dodgy editing scandal. Company insiders reveal that an emergency meeting of senior executives was rapidly convened after it emerged that eight seconds of silence had been added to an interview in her documentary "Under the Gun" -- which she made outside of her Yahoo role -- making it seem as if anti-gun-control activists were stumped by a question. But Yahoo didn't launch a formal investigation into why their "global anchor" ended up having to publicly apologize for the misleading footage. Couric said in a statement that she had asked director Stephanie Soechtig about why she had inserted the silence, and added, "I regret that those eight seconds were misleading and that I did not raise my initial concerns more vigorously." Major network insiders are stunned that Yahoo didn't hold a postmortem before continuing to publish Couric's work. Said a senior staffer at a Big Three network, "Any time there's a mistake here, there's a thorough review and consequences where they're appropriate. You look at the system and say, 'How did this happen and how do we prevent it from happening again?' I don't think any of that happened at Yahoo." A different source said Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer expressed support for Couric's handling of the situation during a recent conference call. Meanwhile, there was another awkward moment when Yahoo Finance posted a story -- which had been automatically uploaded from Fortune -- with the headline, "Here's Why Katie Couric's Eight-Second Editing Mistake Is Such a Big Deal." But an insider said that however uneasy the optics, Yahoo's hands are tied, because it has already been chastised for changing editorial material that criticized major advertiser Quicken Loans. "I'm sure it drove Marissa crazy, but they can't just scrub that kind of thing anymore," said a source. (Page Six)



'Awards Chatter' Podcast -- Jerrod Carmichael ('The Carmichael Show'). The 28-year-old co-creator, writer and star of NBC's acclaimed multi-camera comedy reveals how his life changed in a Winston-Salem shoe store, why he turned down 'New Girl' and what it was like skewering Bill Cosby on the air. "I wanted a show on NBC since I was 13 years old," says Jerrod Carmichael -- the 28-year-old comedian who now has one: The Carmichael Show, which was just renewed for a third season, and which many are likening to Norman Lear's multi-camera/live-audience series of yesteryear that took on serious issues in hilarious ways. As we sit down to record an episode of the 'Awards Chatter' podcast, Carmichael relishes the comparisons, largely because it is his goal, as it was Lear's, to disregard political-correctness and frankly discuss things that matter, something that has happened on TV less and less in the years between their respective eras. "It went too far in the other direction," Carmichael says mournfully. Carmichael's passion for comedy may date back to his childhood, but his path to a career in the field was anything but paved. The product of a smart and opinionated family -- just like the one portrayed in The Carmichael Show -- he was born and raised in Winston-Salem, where he was working in a shoe store when a client from LA convinced him that a relocation would be easy and worthwhile. "Growing up in the neighborhood I grew up in," Carmichael says, "what you expect from the world and what you think you're capable of are kind of naturally inhibited -- that's the biggest fight, just to break down that inhibition." Nevertheless, a couple of months later, on Aug. 8, 2008, he packed his bags and made the move. Further testament to his courage, he hit the ground running. "I arrived here on Friday, went to The Comedy Store, watched the whole show, stayed 'til 2 a.m., and then that Sunday night I was doing the open-mic there," says Carmichael, who had never performed stand-up before. "I figured it out pretty fast," he says, noting that "at its best, it's the most fun thing in the world." He quickly garnered notice as an up-and-comer, and in 2011 he was offered a part on the Fox sitcom New Girl -- but, despite the prospect of a big paycheck, turned it down. "It just wasn't for me," he explains. "It wasn't the thing that I'd set out to do. I wanted the show that, ultimately, I'm doing." He adds, "I just didn't see it directly contributing to what the ultimate goal was." To see through that goal, he met with NBC in 2012 to pitch a comedy series about Carmichael and his family. At the time, he conceived of it as a single-camera show in which his character worked at a shoe store. He was authorized to go off and make a pilot -- but when he showed it to the network in 2014 it was rejected. Carmichael didn't even have time to feel demoralized, though, because later that same week his career experience two massive boosts: the film Neighbors, in which he does scene-stealing work, was released nationwide, and Jerrod Carmichael: Love at the Store, his first comedy special for TV, was filmed for HBO under the direction of Spike Lee. Suddenly, NBC reconsidered, asking him to take another stab at a pilot. This time, Neighbors director Nicholas Stoller partnered with Carmichael on the effort, and this time they decided to employ the multi-camera/live-audience format, sensing that it was built for a standup comic's momentum-building humor, and focused more on Carmichael's own family (he used their real names to demand "accountability" from him, he says). Shot in 2015, this version was picked up for a six-episode first season in which the network aired two episodes at a time, on three nights, spread over three weeks in late August. "That's how you know they love you," Carmichael jokes about the obvious burn-off attempt. "But it worked to our advantage." The show survived -- and continued to thrive after being picked up for a 13-episode second season -- because of word-of-mouth and viral Internet buzz about how different it is from just about everything else on TV. It has dealt with topics as wide-ranging as Bill Cosby (who had hosted Carmichael at his home prior to his recent slew of legal trouble), #BlackLivesMatter, transgender issues, Muslim neighbors, morning-after pills, gun rights and depression -- and it has looked at them in balanced, unusual, fascinating ways. "These arguments and these episodes come from real conversations, and real topics of discussion that I've had amongst my family and amongst my friends, and things that have existed in culture" says Carmichael, "so it comes from a real place. And it can't be 'too edgy' if it comes from a real place." (Hollywood Reporter)
