Dakota Johnson and Matthew Hitt Split After Almost Two Years of Dating. After almost two years of dating, Dakota Johnson and Matthew Hitt have broken up, E! News can confirm. The duo first went public with their relationship back in September of 2013, and parted ways for the first time in the beginning of 2015, before deciding to get back together again. But it seems as though this time, the Fifty Shades actress and her musician beau have split for good. "Dakota and Matthew have dated on-and-off for the past two years," a source told Just Jared, who first reported the news. "They didn't get a chance to see much of each other recently because their work schedules didn't align. She's been up in Vancouver shooting the Fifty Shades trilogy." Meanwhile, Hitt has been on the road with his band the Drowners, and the group is currently slated for a summer-long tour. Matthew and Dakota were most recently spotted holding hands at an after party for the 2016 Met Gala, where the brunette beauty donned a colorful Gucci gown for the swanky annual fashion event. Neither have commented on the split on social media at this time. (Eonline)

Kelly Clarkson Seen for the First Time Since Welcoming Son Remy Blackstock. Motherhood sure looks good on Kelly Clarkson! On Tuesday night, fans got their first look at the 34-year-old American Idol winner since she gave birth to son Remy Blackstock eight weeks ago. Cat Brewer interviewed Clarkson at Starstruck Entertainment in Nashville as part of the documentary Sign the Show: Deaf Culture. According to her website, Brewer "brings together entertainers, Deaf community members and ASL interpreters to discuss, in a humorous, heartfelt and insightful way, accessibility for the Deaf and what it's like to connect Deaf and hearing audiences at live performances." Other famous participants include comedian D.L. Hughley, America's Next Top Model and Dancing With the Stars winner Nyle DiMarco, Train singer Pat Monahan and The Talk host Aisha Tyler. Brewer shared a picture from the set on Instagram. "The culmination of 13 months of hustling, persistence, support, and luck in pursuing a single interview for my documentary paid off today when a young woman made good on her promise to provide me an interview!" she wrote in the caption. "@kellyclarkson contributed an amazing interview for #SignTheShow and was most gracious, thoughtful, and inspiring in her message. I'm honored she's on board and helping bring awareness and support to the Deaf community." In a tweet, she wrote, "No words 2 adequately describe all the feels I have but #Gratitude is probably the biggest. Thank U @kelly_clarkson." Clarkson didn't walk away empty-handed, as Brewer gave her Domaine Serene's pinot noir. She shared a picture with her Twitter followers, writing, "My friend @catbrewer gave me this today. thank u friend.... Had an amazing interview w/you 2day! Ur a cool chick!" Brewer hopes to finish filming her documentary and start editing this year, with plans to finish production by 2017. From there, she will enter Sign the Show: Deaf Culture in film festivals. Since giving birth to Baby No. 2 on Apr. 12, Clarkson has been spending most of her time at home. She's remained active on Twitter, though, complaining about the cancellation of ABC's Castle and supporting the release of her friend Blake Shelton's album, If I'm Honest. Clarkson -- whose daughter River Blackstock turns 2 on June 12 -- has also shared her parenting bliss with her 10.9 million followers. "I have the coolest kids, most helpful/loving family, & it would b impossible 4me 2b happier," she wrote Apr. 16. "I'm filled w/love. I want everyone 2 have this!" (Eonline)

Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Are Hollywood's Best Bromance (and They Know It). Sorry, fellas: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's bromance cannot be beat -- and they know it. The longtime best friends were officially honored as Guys of the Decade during Spike TV's 2016 Guys Choice Awards on Saturday. As you can see in the exclusive clip, they got in some playful jabs at some of Hollywood's other dynamic male duos. "We wanna recognize some of the other nominees, some of the dudes who weren't quite as decade-worthy," quipped Matt. "Um, George Clooney and Brad Pitt?" "Yeah, f--k you guys," joked Ben. The Oscar winners didn't stop there -- Ben and Matt name checked Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, Liam Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth, Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith and so on... Matt said he and Ben were "honored to share this fake award" with all the lesser bro BFFs. After that, it sounded like Matt was about to get sentimental, but the prankster switched gears and got a last-second Ben dig in his speech. The 2016 Guys Choice Awards will air on Spike TV on Thursday, June 9, at 9 p.m. (Eonline)

Zoe Saldana Thanks James Cameron and J.J. Abrams for Creating Strong Female Characters. Zoe Saldana's best roles have all been out of this world. This summer, the actress reprises her role as Uhura in Star Trek Beyond, and she's currently filming the sequel to 2014's surprise blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy. As if those projects weren't enough, she's got four Avatar sequels lined up through 2023. Saldana knew that if she wanted to play fully developed characters, this was the best route to follow. "If I wasn't doing these sci-fi movies, I would be at the mercy of filmmakers that would just look my way if they need a girlfriend or sexy woman of color in their movie. Space is different... but we can still do better," she tells CNET Magazine. "We can still give women more weight to carry in their roles." While she'd love to see more women working behind the scenes, she praises Avatar's James Cameron and Star Trek's J.J. Abrams for giving women a chance to shine onscreen. "James Cameron is one of those rare men in the film industry that really isn't threatened by women. He lets you know with the characters he creates that he does spend time thinking about why women are who they are, why they think the way they do," Saldana, 37, explains. "He is aware of the sacrifices and how hard-working women can be -- Sarah Connor [in The Terminator], Rose [in Titanic]. Jamie Lee Curtis' role in True Lies was amazing. She wasn't a victim. It wasn't like she found out, 'My God, you're, like, a spy. I don't know what to do.' She was like, 'Oh f--k, my husband's a spy. I'm gonna f--king spy myself. I'm gonna get to where his mission is.'" Saldana has played a wide range of characters since she began acting in 1999, but Avatar's Neytiri is her favorite role to date. "I created this character with James Cameron. He allowed me to add textures to her. There's the way she would walk -- if her tail is this strong, then it's an extra limb. It's not just a tail. It's not gonna just look pretty and be in the background stealing the attention from everything. This tail's gonna dictate the way that she walks, the way that she moves her neck. And he was like, 'Yes, absolutely. Let's research it. Let's confirm it. Let's call a doctor that would let us know that this makes sense.' I loved that," she says. "I felt so present when that happened. And then you've been on other sides where you feel like wallpaper. And you just go, 'OK, even this is a learning experience of what not to continuously represent.'" "So [for] all those young women out there that are looking up to me -- who are 5 today and will be 25 tomorrow -- I want to be a part of those elements that form them, that made them feel, 'I felt seen, I felt relevant, I felt challenged. And one of those people was this actress named Zoe Saldana, and she did all these roles and all these movies that I really enjoyed.' And that's what I want to be," she says. "If I do that, then yes, I guess as an artist I will find a way to live forever." Abrams has helped Saldana do just that. He did the same thing for Daisy Ridley when he cast her as the lead character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which had previously been a male-driven franchise. "Look at the role he created in the new Star Wars. It's through the eyes of a female, and we're not gonna compromise the strength of the movie. We're not gonna compromise her bravery," Saldana says of challenging gender stereotypes. "It's like, you guys still have your testosterone-driven PEW! PEW! PEW! and it's gonna be a girl that's doing it." "Filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and James Cameron -- they're practicing what they preach, and they're having their art imitate the life that they see and the utopia they would like to bring to life. And they let you be as collaborative, as suggestive, as opinionated, as passionate...I don't work to make friends; I don't work to be liked. I work to bring a character to life, to walk away not feeling that I'm a disappointment in myself. That I gave it my all," Saldana says. "When I'm met on the other side by a filmmaker that sees that, recognizes that and has a duel with me, I feel really seen. I feel like I matter. And for an artist and also for a woman, that sometimes can be everything, because we don't feel like we matter in a lot of things." (Eonline)

The Hiltons are certainly "disappointed" in their son Conrad. As you surely know, Paris Hilton's baby bro was sentenced to two months in prison earlier this week and it seems the hotel heir's wealthy parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton, weren't shocked by the news. Oh snap! A source dished: "Of course they're disappointed. But the news wasn't a surprise for anyone. Conrad has had a drug problem for years, since he was a teen, and it's never gotten better." Whoa. The 22-year-old was slapped with his sentence after admitting to using drugs while on parole for his 2015 arrest. Tsk, tsk! Unfortunately, Conrad isn't the first Hilton sibling to have some legal drama as his brother Barron was arrested back in 2008 for a DUI. And who could forget Paris' brief stint in jail back in 2007 over her own parole violation? Dramaaa! On how the family is coping with the news, the insider added: "Given what the family has been through, they're almost in denial. The Hiltons cope by deflecting. They're very good at ignoring problems." In fact, it appears that the famous family is choosing to focus on the upcoming birth of Nicky Hilton's first child. The source concluded: "Everyone is thinking about the baby. It's just sad Conrad won't be there for his niece's birth." (Perez Hilton)

Designer Rachel Roy grabbed her place card and left the starry CFDA Fashion Awards dinner before Beyonce ever entered the room as the surprise recipient of the night's Fashion Icon Award, sources said. Roy sparked a social-media firestorm last month with rumors she was "Becky with the good hair," a character name-checked in a confessional Beyonce song about an alleged Jay Z affair. At Monday's CFDA gala, Roy arrived with model Candice Huffine, whom she dressed, and they posed together for pics on the red carpet. But as the gala began, rumors spread that Beyonce might attend. One fashion writer tweeted, "Jay Z has just arrived .?.?. What could it mean?" Then Beyonce's daughter, Blue Ivy, and mom, Tina Knowles, showed up, essentially giving away the night's Icon winner. Sister Solange was also rumored to be on the way, but didn't materialize. But Roy dashed before Beyonce arrived onstage. "She disappeared with her place card and never came back," said a source. It was "weird. I don't know if it was because she's 'Becky,' or what?" Another stunned source at the event said, "Rachel just came and left." But a friend of Roy's explained she exited the awards only because she had to catch an early flight the next day to be with her kids in LA. Roy has previously denied being the Becky mentioned in Beyonce's "Lemonade." She said in a statement: "There is no validity to the idea that the song references me personally. There is no truth to the rumors." Beyonce received a standing ovation and told the assembled fashion elite that when she started out in Destiny's Child, "a lot of labels didn't really want to dress four black, country, curvy girls." Jennifer Hudson also performed for a crowd including Anna Wintour, Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Karlie Kloss and François-Henri Pinault. The Weinstein Company heavily upped the production quality of the show, which was moved from Lincoln Center to the Hammerstein Ballroom with an eye toward launching a TV broadcast next year.

Michael Lohan's head looked like a lunar nightmare after getting hair plugs, but in the end it actually took pretty well. The post-surgery results are scary ... it looks like the Moon or Mars with a ring of hair. Fact is ... the surgery was performed 3 weeks ago and it's growing in pretty nicely. Michael didn't like the way he looked, and says 2 of his kids are about to tie the knot so he wanted to look good for the weddings. This fine work of Dr. Mehdi Tahsini's ultimately set Lohan back $15k. (TMZ)

Maria Sharapova was just hit with a TWO YEAR BAN by the International Tennis Federation for doping ... but she claims it's "unfair" and vows to appeal. The ITF just issued a statement saying Sharapova's urine tested positive for meldonium -- a metabolic modulator that's prohibited in the sport. The ITF says it cut Sharapova a break when it comes to the punishment because she "promptly admitted" to the offense. Instead of starting the 2-year ban today, they will backdate the suspension to January 26 -- the date of the sample collection. The ITF also ruled that her results at the 2016 Australian Open should be disqualified -- and she must forfeit her ranking points and prize money that she won at that event. For her part, Sharapova says she did NOT intentionally use the substance -- and wants her fans to know she should not be considered a cheater. "The ITF spent tremendous amounts of time and resources trying to prove I intentionally violated the anti-doping rules and the tribunal concluded I did not," Sharapova said in a statement. "You need to know that the ITF asked the tribunal to suspend me for four years-the required suspension for an intentional violation -- and the tribunal rejected the ITF's position." Sharapova says she will fight the decision -- "I cannot accept an unfairly harsh two-year suspension ... I will immediately appeal the suspension." "I intend to stand for what I believe is right and that's why I will fight to be back on the tennis court as soon as possible." (TMZ)

New York City is paying tribute to Muhammad Ali. On Tuesday, the legendary boxer's daughter Laila Ali took to Instagram, revealing that NYC temporality renamed West 33rd Street after her dad in the wake of his death on Friday. "New York City temporarily named a street after my father. Such and honor for the G.O.A.T. [Greatest Of All Time]," she wrote. "I'm sending love and positive vibes to all of you who have ever lost someone you love! Thank you for all of you kind words and condolences." In the pic, a construction worker hangs the street sign-Muhammad Ali Way-right under the original, as a large photo of Ali hangs in the background in Madison Square Garden. The world mourned on Friday when news broke that Ali had died in a Phoenix-area hospital, after days of being treated for respiratory complications. "After a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening," spokesman Bob Gunnell said in a statement at the time. "The Ali family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support and asks for privacy at this time." Just hours before his death, Laila, 38, took to social media, sharing a sweet photo of her father and daughter. "I love this photo of my father and my daughter Sydney when she was a baby," Laila wrote on Facebook alongside a pic of Ali kissing his granddaughter. "Thank for all the love and well wishes. I feel your love and appreciate it!!" (People)

Daniel Radcliffe Still "Not Sure" He Wants to Attend Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Play. There's no question that Daniel Radcliffe is grateful for his time in the Harry Potter franchise. But as preview performances of the upcoming London play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child kick off next month, the beloved actor is hesitant to attend for a very thoughtful reason. "It would be a weird one. I could be completely wrong in this, but I feel like if I went to see it that night, there's going to be a lot of Harry Potter fans there in the audience obviously and would that then become a thing?" Daniel explained to E! News at the New York City premiere of Now You See Me 2. "Would it be more about them watching me watch the show or would it take away from the show. I would never want to do anything that would distract or take away from the show." He added, "I don't know. I'm busy doing a play here at the moment, but I'm not sure." Another important job taking up the actor's time is supporting his latest film opening in theaters Friday. Now You See Me 2 reunites the four horsemen who are recruited by a tech genius to pull off one difficult heist. As for the upcoming Harry Potter play, acclaimed author J.K. Rowling recently requested any and all muggles to obey one simple rule: Don't spoil any big news for other fans. "You've been amazing for years at keeping Harry Potter secrets so you don't spoil the books for readers who came after you," she explained in a YouTube video. "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 added, "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. Preview performances are slated to begin on July 7 with a printed version of the play scheduled to be released at the end of the month. (Eonline)

Old and New Ghostbusters Casts Unite for Movie's Anniversary. They're crossing streams! The original cast of Ghostbusters has teamed up with the reboot's cast to form one epic ghost-busting team. In honor of Ghostbusters Day, a.k.a. the anniversary of the original movie's release, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones have united with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts to make an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night. "Seeing the original and new Ghostbusters all together (will be) like being in the presence of the comedy gods on Mount Olympus," new Ghostbusters director Paul Feig told USA TODAY in a statement. "This is an epic summit of some of the funniest people on the planet. Long live the Ghostbusters!" Ahead of the episode's airing, Feig tweeted out an awesome picture of both casts coming together in honor of the original movie's special day. "I mean, c'mon, how can this picture NOT make you happy? This is an epic group of people," he wrote alongside the happy-go-lucky picture. "Happy Ghostbusters Day!" Wednesday night's late-night appearance is just one of a few times these two casts will mingle, as Hudson, Aykroyd, Murray and Potts have all confirmed that they're making cameos in the reboot. They won't be reprising their roles; instead they'll be playing new characters. "They're extraordinarily funny and there's a great chemistry with them," Hudson said earlier this year when asked about his cameo and the film. "I think it's going to be very good. The script I knew was good. I knew the special effects would be amazing. But I was really pleasantly surprised to see how the women kind of gelled together." Aykroyd also recently sung Feig's movie's praises. "Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first 2 films plus Bill Murray is in it!" Aykryod wrote on Facebook. "As one of millions of man-fans and Ray Stantz, I'm paying to see that and bringing all my friends!" The women of the Ghostbusters reboot also received covers for Elle magazine's July issue. Each star looked glamorous dressed in something other than her typical ghost-busting uniform, but the real fun is to be had in the magazine's video of the women giving the iconic theme song a different twist. Ghostbusters flies into theaters July 15. (Eonline)

Are Bristol Palin and Dakota Meyer Back Together? See the Instagram Post That's Sparking Speculation. Are Bristol Palin and Dakota Meyer giving love another chance? The formerly engaged couple, who currently co-parent daughter Sailor Grace, have openly showed that their relationship remains amicable despite their decision to split, but one of Meyer's most recent Instagram posts suggests that perhaps they've considered a reconciliation. Meyer posted a photo of himself and Palin getting close to flash their big smiles for a selfie, and captioned it, "On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences. On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma." He continues, "So, which is it? Let the Light decide, or never give up? The answer is: both." Additionally, in the photo, Palin is wearing a diamond ring on that finger. E! News has reached out to both reps for comment. Last May, Palin addressed the cancellation of their wedding in a Patheos blog post. "When I first got engaged, you were the first ones I wanted to tell," she wrote. "I guess you have seen by now that the wedding -- that was supposed to happen last weekend -- was called off. I'm sure you've seen this has been all over the media, but this is a painful time for family and friends and I would just really appreciate your prayers," Bristol said at the time. "I know God's plan is greater than anything else, and Tripp and I are in Alaska beginning to rebuild our lives under much different circumstances than we anticipated." Bristol has not mentioned a possible reconciliation on social media, but did post a black and white photo of herself and Meyer a week ago with their baby girl, and captioned it, "baby daddy bff."

Amicable exes indeed! Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa toasted each other at a strip club in Los Angeles on Monday, June 6. According to TMZ, the exes have reached an agreement on the settlement after filling for divorce in September 2014. "Too much fun with my Ex hubby last night & no we didn't celebrate our divorce we celebrated our love 4 each other cuz that never goes away ??," the model tweeted on Tuesday, June 7. Rose, who previously dated Kanye West, filed for divorce from the "See You Again" rapper after 14 months of marriage in September 2014, and, at the time, suggested that Khalifa had cheated on her. "Reliving that moment over and over and over... ... smh," she had cryptically tweeted. The exes are parents to 3-year-old son Sebastian.

Susan Sarandon has revealed there's another famous actress she says she's frequently mistaken for -- although we can't quite see it ourselves. The 69-year-old Hollywood veteran was at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in London when she announced that she's frequently mistake for Sigourney Weaver -- and vice versa. "I wanna just clarify a few things. Sigourney may have left the stage but we are two different people. I have taken credit for Alien many times and she's signed autographs for me," she said. Weaver, 66, had just taken the stage to collect a gong, while Sarandon was at the event to accept an Inspiration Award. The pair are each respected Hollywood veterans with a wealth of memorable roles under their respective belts -- but who exactly is getting them mixed up? This isn't the first time Sarandon has insisted she and Sigourney look alike: in 2014, she penned a hilarious opinion piece in which she jokingly declared that Weaver was actually her "bad-ass alter-ego." "Quite honestly, I'm surprised no one ever figured this out before. How could you not notice how Sigourney and I have never starred in the same movie or attended the same award show at the same time? Come on, Sigourney isn't even a real name. That was just how I mispronounced 'Sidney' after a couple too many chardonnays," she wrote. During her acceptance speech at the Glamour Awards, Sarandon also took time to encourage her fellow female actors to focus on their strengths. "I am inspired by women," she said. "Nobody multi-tasks like women. We have to stop worrying about being perfect and do the best we can and have fun." (Page Six)

Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner's Topshop collection has been revealed, and it's every bit as sexy as you'd expect. It's clear which sister has influenced each style - Kylie's urban streetwear vibe is translated to neon, sporty bikinis starring a *very* daring bondage-inspired, metallic gold style. Kendall's more classic look is seen in classic navy swimsuits (which we love) and simple white bikinis. See the full collection here. The range lands in stores from Thursday June 9th. (British Glamour) He might have won this year's GLAMOUR Man of the Year award and caused woman of all ages to swoon at his portrayal of brooding Prince Andrei Bolkonsky in the BBC adaptation of War and Peace, but apparently James Norton hasn't always been a heartthrob. "Most of my friends are keen to point out how unglamorous I was. My nickname was 'norm'. I didn't wash my hair for about five years. I was convinced the crusty look was cool," he told GLAMOUR'S Kelly Allen at awards. "I've got to thank my agent and my beautiful girlfriend. They've taken me on an extraordinary journey," he said. So sincere thanks to his agent and War and Peace co-star and other half Jessie Buckley. They've clearly done a service to womankind. (British Glamour)

Bethenny Frankel's divorce isn't hurting her bottom line a bit because she's shopping for another NYC crib with "Million Dollar Listing" realtor Fredrik Eklund. The 'RHONY' star was cruising around Tribeca on Monday, and we're told she's looking for something in the neighborhood of $15 to $30 million. According to a source, it'd be Bethenny's 4th home in the area! She already owns several NY properties in the city ... and a place in the Hamptons, which she bought for $4.2 million. Her divorce from Jason Hoppy isn't a done deal yet, but Bethenny's still making plans for her fortune. (TMZ)

Young Jeezy just closed a sweet deal for a crash pad in Atlanta ... for $685,750.

For years, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans have witnessed the painful battle that Yolanda Hadid (formerly Foster) has waged against Lyme disease. Now, the reality star and outspoken advocate, 52, has written a book chronicling her painful journey. In Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease, Hadid, who filed for divorce from David Foster in January, shares personal photos and intimate details of her crusade to find a cure for the disease, which can have devastating neurological effects. Hadid recently revealed that two of her children, Anwar Hadid and Bella also suffer from Lyme. (Hadid is also the mother of supermodel Gigi Hadid). Memorably, as Hadid fought against the disease, her health and the severity of her illness were the subjects of endless speculation by everyone from bloggers to Hadid's own Housewives costars. Now, the former model is opening up about her truth, and the tolls that Lyme has taken on her life, as she continues to search for answers. "I am determined to find a cure affordable for all," Hadid tells PEOPLE exclusively. "And it has been my dream to write a book to share all the treatments, knowledge, and spiritual growth I have acquired these past four years. As I've said previously, it's my Dutch foundation that gives me the balls and courage to share my raw and unedited story with the world! By sharing my journey in this book, I hope to offer a voice and encouragement to people who are ill and find themselves struggling while uncovering the mystery of chronic disease." The book is scheduled to be published in February 2017. (People)

This is definitely going to ruffle a few feathers! Although Caitlyn Jenner has been a proud proponent of transgender rights, she is also a proud Republican -- something that has made her polarizing figure in pop culture. Recently, the I Am Cait star spoke with GQ UK about her political beliefs, where she acknowledges that her right-wing views seem contradictory to her LGBT advocacy. While the athlete realizes Republicans haven't been the most vocal supporters of trans rights, she is willing to forgive this fact because of their focus on the economy. She said : "I know that. I'm not a dummy. But I just think we need a more conservative approach, with limited government, limited taxes. I would like to see our country as the best place in the world to do business and right now it's not." Does that mean she will back Donald Trump?! "I just want to see how it all works out. I don't want to make too many comments. I made a comment that I liked Ted Cruz and he-as far as trans issues go-is probably the worst one of the lot." So pretty much yes. Although the interview took place before Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, Caitlyn was always willing to help him with his presidential campaign. "And if he gets there, Trump may need some help too! And I'm willing to help him out, OK? Whoever is the candidate, I will do my damnedest to have a meeting with him and talk to him about the issues that we are concerned about." On her show, the former KUWTK star made headlines when she said the businessman would be a better president for women's issues than Clinton. Back, Cait even praised Trump for his stance on transgender bathroom rights. Whether you agree with her or not, Jenner sticks to her guns! (Perez Hilton)

Demi Lovato Returns to the Music Studio Days After Announcing Split From Wilmer Valderrama. They say music is therapy. And according to our eyes, Demi Lovato may be testing out that theory right about now. Just a few days after the "Heart Attack" singer and Wilmer Valderrama announced their break up on social media, someone appears to be moving on while exciting fans along the way. After Demi enjoyed a workout Monday evening, Lovatics found out on Snapchat that the performer stopped by a music studio for a late-night session. "11:51 p.m." she wrote in her surprise Snap as two unidentifiable people looked at a computer screen. "Studio." Fast-forward to Tuesday morning where the former Disney Channel star was back in the gym. This time, however, it wasn't exactly to break a sweat. "Laser therapy at the gym," she wrote as the clock struck 8:39 a.m. Back on Friday, both Demi and Wilmer released a joint statement announcing their break up after six years of dating. "This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends," the post read. "We will always be supportive of one another. Thank you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the years." And while some questions still remain about the shocking split, fans are receiving a bit more insight into what changed between the romantic duo. "It had turned into more of a big brother-little sister kind of relationship," our source shared. "The romance wasn't what it used to be. That said, Wilmer is still very protective of her. He did a lot for her -- not just in terms of being there for her when she had her health issues, but really helping build her brand and launch her product lines. You never saw him out in front though. He never tried to ride her fame." And if it's any consolation for die-hard fans of the couple, another insider insists that there is still plenty of respect and admiration between the two. "They love each other but aren't in love anymore," our source shared. "They are really great friends, which they'll continue to be, but the romance sort of died." (Eonline)

Skrillex and Chance the Rapper dropped by The Late Show to perform a remix of their viral cover of Hundred Waters' "Show Me Love" (with the song's vocalist, Nicole Miglis) and remix host Stephen Colbert's monologue. The pair popped up early in the episode after Colbert dropped a quip about some new toast-based cereals from General Mills called Tiny Toast. That bit set off the remix alert, which brought out the EDM star and the rapper, who provided some killer beats and rhymes to spice up Colbert's processed corn-based jokes. "Not a serial number/ Not serial like a killer/ Talkin' a complete breakfast, pure tummy filler," Chance rapped while Colbert and Skrillex danced behind him. Check out the full joke remix: The pair came back later to perform "Show Me Love," complete with Miglis' ethereal vocals and a live band with Skrillex on electric guitar. (Billboard)

Dolly Parton on North Carolina "Bathroom Bill": "Everybody Should Be Treated With Respect". "I just know if I have to pee, I'm going to pee. I don't care where it's going to be," says the country music star. In a recent interview with CNN Money, Dolly Parton offered her own assessment of North Carolina's anti-LGBTQ "Bathroom Bill." "I think everybody should be treated with respect," the country music star noted. "I don't judge people, and I try not to get too caught up in the controversy of things. I hope that everybody gets a chance to be who and what they are. "I just know if I have to pee, I'm going to pee," she continued. "I don't care where it's going to be." Parton recently started the Pure & Simple Tour -- her biggest tour in years -- which touched down Friday in Greensboro, N.C. Later this year, she plans to release a new album. (Hollywood Reporter)

82-year-old John Hetlinger just got an offer he can't refuse ... to go onstage with the wildly popular metal group Drowning Pool for an encore performance of "Bodies."

The goal is to get John to Chicago for the Open Air Festival in July. C.J. says they'll cover John's travel and beer expenses ... and whatever else it takes. Beats shuffleboard. (TMZ)

Cuba Gooding Jr. Reveals Why He Passed on Award-Worthy Roles to Star in "Direct-to-Video Trash." It's true what they say: Hindsight is 20/20! Thanks to FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career is back on track. Best known for his Oscar-winning role in Cameron Crowe's film Jerry Maguire, the actor's career floundered for years before Ryan Murphy gave him a chance at a comeback. Taking part in The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actors Roundtable alongside Vinyl's Bobby Cannavale, Billions' Paul Giamatti, Mr. Robot's Rami Malek, Narcos' Wagner Moura and Roots' Forest Whitaker, Gooding explains what happened. "When I won the Oscar, I fell into that mind-set that this is a precious role. People everywhere were shouting, 'Show me the money!' I just didn't want anything that could parody the fact that I was like a tagline in a movie. So when Steven Spielberg offered me Amistad, I said no; when Hotel Rwanda came along, I said no," he says. "I was saying no to all of these things because I had in my mind the role I wanted to play." Amistad legitimized Beninese-American model Djimon Hounsou as a serious actor, while Hotel Rwanda's Don Cheadle received a Best Actor nomination at the 77th Annual Academy Awards. Gooding regrets declining both of film roles. So, what kind of parts did he want to play instead? "I had no f--kin' idea," Gooding admits with a laugh. "So I passed on all these great directors and wound up offending a bunch of them, and what happened was I went off the list of, 'Greenlight if you have this actor in the role.' I went into the wasteland. But I think it was God's will that I took eight to 10 years to go and do direct-to-video trash. Producers would come to me and say, 'We have the foreign financing in place for anywhere from $5 million to $10 million, whatever you want to do.' So I met with writers, I developed the script, we'd shoot it, and then I'd edit it and direct it. I learned more about the filmmaking process in those 10 years and it made me 10 times better as an actor, but unfortunately people had to sit through those movies." Suffice to say, Gooding learned his lesson. "Now I consider the director -- I don't care what the role is," says the actor, who earned raves for his minor roles in 2014's Selma and 2013's The Butler. "When Ridley Scott called, my agent said, 'Here's an offer [for American Gangster]; they want you to play Nicky Barnes.' And I go: 'I don't have to read it. I'm in.' And then my agent's like: 'Oh, we'll take a day. We'll read it.' And I go: 'No, no, no. Ridley Scott called. I'm in.'" (Eonline)

Don't expect to see Lizzy Caplan playing the "token female" anytime soon. On the contrary, it's the fact she wasn't playing the typical female character in an otherwise male cast that made her proud to be a part of Now You See Me 2. "I have to say, and this isn't even a straight up comedy -- there's other stuff going on -- but they gave me so much free reign to improvise and make the character as strange and odd as I wanted, and not the 2-dimensional token female role," Caplan told PEOPLE at the NYC premiere of the film about magicians. Unfortunately, this isn't the norm. "I felt more freedom on this than I have a lot of comedies I've done," she added. As the only female in a cast of strong men -- including Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman and Woody Harrelson -- it would be easy for Caplan to go with the flow and be the girly magician's assistant, but she didn't. "There are a few lines in the movie that I improvised, and they are all about, 'why do you think a girl can't do it?' And that was just really how I was feeling in the moment," Caplan explained. "But they incorporated it into the character, which is fantastic." If the character was too stereotypical and she hadn't had that creative freedom, Caplan wouldn't have let it slide. "I would have fought against that." But she wouldn't have been completely surprised. "They [people in the movie industry] do like to promise that before things happen and then they're like, 'just kidding,'" the Masters of Sex star revealed. Luckily, making this movie was an extremely collaborative experience. "They were really cool and Ed Solomon, the writer, we were working together on the script before we even left to go shoot the movie, so it was unbelievably collaborative the whole time." And that, folks, is how magic is made. (People)

Warner Bros. Finalizes Harry Potter Global Franchise Team. Polly Cochrane has been promoted, while Will Harrison and Nicole Blake have joined the group. Warner Bros has finalized the senior management structure of its Harry Potter Global Franchise Development (HPGFD) team, the studio's group focused on continuing the expansion of J.K. Rowling's universe.

The Who Slams 'Quadrophenia' Sequel as "Blatant Attempt to Cash In". The rockers have quashed reports that they are backing a planned follow-up to the 1979 cult hit. The members of The Who have denied reports that the band has endorsed a sequel to Quadrophenia, the 1979 film based on its own rock opera set around the clashes between rival gangs in 1960s Brighton. Rumors of a sequel to the film-which starred Sting and Ray Winstone and became a cult hit-emerged in late May, with reports in the U.K. press that it would pick up the story 37 years on from the first and feature several members of the original cast, including Toyah Wilcox and Phil Daniels. In an interview with The Mirror, filmmaker Ray Burdis said he would be directing the film, based on the book To Be Someone, which he claimed had been given the blessing of The Who's Pete Townshend. But Townshend, lead singer Roger Daltrey and Bill Curbishley (The Who's manager who produced the original Quadrophenia and, more recently, The Railway Man), have now rejected any suggestions they are backing the new film. "Quadrophenia has an enduring appeal and will forever be the definitive mod film," Curbishley said in a statement on Wednesday. "Quadrophenia is a significant and influential film based on The Who's music, not some Carry On franchise. Any follow-up to this film could only be made by the authors of the original and would need to be worthy of the name. This karaoke sequel announced recently in the press would be totally ridiculous." Curbishley added that the new film wouldn't star Sting or Winstone or feature any words or music from The Who, describing it as a "blatant attempt to cash in" on the original's popularity. The news comes just weeks after reports that the Carry On franchise, mentioned by Curbishley, was to be rebooted by U.K. producer Jonathan Sothcott, an announcement that led several of Sothcott's former employees to speak out about his business practices.

Australian State Aims for 'Star Wars,' 'Game of Thrones' With $15M Fund. The New South Wales funding package aims to nab film and TV productions from other international and Australian locations. Sydney and its home state of New South Wales want to play host to more blockbuster films and TV series. The state government on Wednesday unveiled a new $15 million (AUS$20 million) production attraction fund, dubbed "Made In NSW," to compete with other Australian and international locations for big shoots. The new fund effectively doubles the financing the NSW government is making available to international film and TV productions and major Australian TV shows over the next two years, with the state hoping to build on the success of films like Mad Max: Fury Road, which was based at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney and Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, which is currently shooting here in the state. "Now I'm putting other states and countries on notice that we're going after their productions-who knows, NSW could host the next Star Wars blockbuster or Game of Thrones [season], or we could steal [local TV hit series] Offspring from the Victorians," New South Wales deputy premier and arts minister Troy Grant said. "We've got gorgeous and unique locations, extraordinarily talented local actors, directors and producers, and world-class post-production companies," he added. "My message is clear-you should come here because NSW is simply the best state to make film and television, and we are putting our money where our mouth is." The fund will be administered by state agency Screen NSW and, if successful, will be extended beyond its initial two-year phase. Actor Bryan Brown (Gods of Egypt, Australia) said the funding would be an "enormous help" to the Australian film industry. "It certainly will help a huge number of projects get the opportunity to go into production," he said. Hunter Page Lochard, the star of genre series Cleverman, currently airing on SundanceTV in the U.S., added: "The success of Cleverman has shown exactly what we are capable of in NSW- making first-class television that can make waves around the world. It's exciting to know that this new funding will make it possible for NSW to make even more great film and television." Northern NSW has for a long time hosted the U.K version of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, while competition is fierce between NSW and its northern neighbor Queensland for big-budget films, with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales shooting in Queensland in 2015.

Adam Rodriguez Joins Criminal Minds as Series Regular. Criminal Minds is beefing up its ranks with a new hunky cast member. Adam Rodriguez has joined the cast for season 12, CBS announced. His character, a special agent from the FBI Fugitive Task Force who joins the Behavioral Task Force, will make his debut in the season 12 premiere. "We're thrilled to introduce a new special agent by adding the very talented Adam Rodriguez to our amazing cast," Erica Messer, Criminal Minds executive producer and showrunner, said in a statement. "We have exciting storylines planned for his character and the entire BAU team as we head into our 12th season." Rodriguez joins Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness on the long-running procedural. His addition comes on the heels of Shemar Moore's unexpected exit in season 11. Moore had been with the show since the start and said he was looking to do new projects, but wouldn't rule out returning to the show in a guest capacity. "We're all big fans of Adam's and are excited to welcome him back to the CBS family as part of the terrific cast of Criminal Minds," Glenn Geller, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. Rodriguez recently recurred on Jane the Virgin and Empire. He's no stranger to CBS viewers: he spent 11 seasons on CSI: Miami as Eric Delko. Other TV credits include Roswell, Ugly Betty and The Night Shift. On the big screen he's been in movies such as Magic Mike XXL, Magic Mike and I Can Do Bad All By Myself. Criminal Minds returns this fall on CBS. (Eonline)

Grace VanderWaal and an 82-Year-Old Shock America's Got Talent Judges 2 Very Different Ways. It takes a lot to shock the America's Got Talent judges, but that's just what 82-year-old John Hetlinger did. The retired aerospace engineer (he helped repair the Hubble Space Telescope!) started doing karaoke about 15 years ago when he retired. "This would probably be a high point of my life and many careers," Hetlinger told Simon Cowell when the judge asked why he's on America's Got Talent today. And then Hetlinger started rocking out. Yes, the 82-year-old man started singing "Bodies," a heavy metal song by Drowning Pools. His performance got a standing ovation from the audience and judge Howie Mandel. The same episode featured 12-year-old Grace VanderWaal singing an original song, "I Don't Know My Name," shocking the judges in a much different way. The ukulele player got through the emotional song and received a standing ovation from Cowell, Mandel and Heidi Klum. I think you are living, beautiful, walking miracle," Mandel said before giving her the golden buzzer and sending her through to the live shows. "You're original... I think the world is going to know your name." "Grace, you know what I predict for you? I think you are the next Taylor Swift," Cowell said. America's Got Talent airs Tuesday, 8 p.m. on NBC.

Where Is Ashley Benson in Pretty Little Liars' Mysterious Season 7 Poster? Hanna, you in danger, girl! The dark and mysterious new poster for Pretty Little Liars season seven was revealed piece by piece on the show's Instagram account, and there is one very important person missing from the line-up: Ashley Benson. As we know, Benson's Hanna was kidnapped in the season six finale -- and she's nowhere to be found in the ultra glam, ultra gorgeous, ultra leggy new key art. Instead, Sasha Pieterse, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell and Troian Bellisario are looking fierce as hell decked out in all black errythang, sky-high stilettos included, with a little mesh and lace and tulle thrown in for good measure. But Hanna, WHERE YOU AT?! (Also, sort of unrelated but where is Sasha's other leg? There's a little bit of Photoshop fail going on in this particular poster, despite how fierce it actually is.) In the season seven premiere, titled "Tick-Tock, Bitches," the PLLs and their pals will desperately race against the clock to save Hanna after she was abducted by Uber A. They'll also have to decide whether or not to cross some lines they've never encountered before -- all the while knowing that if they do go in that direction, their lives will never be the same. And while fans were left freaking out over Hanna's fate after the season six premiere, showrunner Marlene King told us Benson "loved" the cliffhanger when she received the script. "They all want to be dragged through the mud, they all love that stuff," she told us. "They're not big on happy endings, those Liars!" But we don't think Hanna fans should be too worried about her well-being, as King teased, "Well, even when people are dead they still stay on our show. So that's what I will say. Look at Andrea Parker! And Alison DiLaurentis! It's always been our goal, no one is safe from 'A' and no one is safe from being 'A.'" The episode premieres Tuesday, June 21 at 8 p.m. on Freeform. Earlier that day, the network will broadcast a marathon of the entire sixth season beginning at 11 a.m. and leading into the new episode. (Eonline)

Is Nashville Being Revived by CMT? All hope might not be lost after all, Nashville fans. The canceled ABC drama may be finding new life on CMT -- the country music network whose headquarters just happen to be located in Nashville, Tennessee. ABC axed the show after four seasons on May 12, and then shocked fans with a cliffhanger ending when the series finale aired nearly two weeks later, partly as a way to encourage another network to pick the show up. After the episode, Lionsgate, who produces the show, tweeted "What a cliffhanger! But we won't leave you hanging. There's more story to be told. #BringBackNashville." Now it seems that they weren't just getting our hopes up. According to TVLine, CMT is expected to make the announcement during Wednesday's CMT Awards. Nashville's finale ended happily for every character, except for Juliette (Hayden Panettiere), who was on a plane on her way to reunite with her daughter and her estranged husband Avery (Jonathan Jackson). In the last 10 seconds of the episode, Avery was informed that Juliette's plane had been lost, and there was no word on whether Juliette was alive or not. Before the series was officially canceled at ABC, it had been announced that Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick will be taking over as showrunners for season five, which, according to TVLine, would most likely still be the case if CMT does pick up the show. It's unclear whether or not Connie Britton and the rest of the cast would all return for the move to the new network, but fingers crossed that the entire Nashville family will be back to serenade us for many seasons to come.

Hacking the Mr. Robot Cast: Have They Been Targeted Since the Show Got Popular? Mr. Robot ended its first season with one big hacking event, effectively erasing debt records at E Corp and doing a number on the economy. Fsociety was victorious! The show has been hailed for performances and its representation of hacking and technology, so we had to ask: Has the cast been hacked because of the show? "Last night someone just asked me for my verification code on Google and it was some bulls -- t number," series star Rami Malek told us. "Yeah, so, just keep changing my password." Maybe not because of the show, but almost everybody in attendance at Mr. Robot's For Your Consideration event said they've been hacked since. Portia Doubleday said she's been hacked five times, and one of those happened to be when the pilot was picked up to series. "I was thinking, 'Does this have something to do with the show?'" she said. Carly Chaikin said she's not sure "how much people care about me or what they're going to find," but she did have an Apple account hack that she consulted the Mr. Robot team about. The USA Network series returns for a second season on Wednesday, July 13 and it looks as thrilling and dark as the first. Along for the ride are new players Craig Robinson and Grace Gummer. Everything picks up days after the season one finale. Check out the new trailer now. Mr. Robot returns on Wednesday, July 13 at 10 p.m. on USA. (Eonline)

Khloe Kardashian takes the Ellen show! The reality star does Ellen DeGeneres "a favor" when she takes over the reigns as host on Wednesday's episode. "While you're here, I have just a favor ... The favor is if you could just take over the show for me today," the 27-time Emmy winner asks Kardashian, 31, before responding: "I've done Miami, I've done Hamptons, I can take over Burbank, let's do this!" But not before DeGeneres reminded everyone that, she too, was a Kardashian at one time. The Finding Dory star resurfaces her 2015 Halloween episode to bring back Karla Kardashian, the forgotten star of the Keeping Up with the Kardashians franchise.

Chrisley Knows Best Takes a Trip to a Goat Farm and It's a Battle With Bugs. Chrisley Knows Best is going to the farm. The goat farm, that is. In Tuesday night's all-new episode of the USA Network reality hit, Todd sends siblings Chase and Savannah to spend some time on a goat farm to instill in them the value of honest, hard work. But, as this exclusive sneak peek hints at, their constant bickering promises to only get in the way. In fact, the pair can't even make it out of their incredibly tiny room before their sibling silliness kicks into high gear. Also hinted at in this sneak peak? The fact that Chase may not know what a lizard looks like. While the kids have been away on the goat farm, Todd's been keeping busy. In next week's season four summer finale, he'll team up with country singer Sara Evans for a special duet on a song called "Infinite Love," a song written for wife Julie's birthday. The song, which will be performed in the episode, is already available for pre-order on iTunes.

Chrisley Knows Best airs Tuesdays at 10:00 p.m. on USA. (Eonline)

Sometimes we love Wendy Williams for giving some real (and real hilarious) talk, and sometimes she creeps us out hard, but we always look forward to hearing her thoughts and opinions -- so it's been real hard on us since she's been on vacation for a bit. But let's turn that frown upside down, because she's back now, and we all know that there's quite a bit of new gossip for her to cover. So here's Wendy weighing in on the situation between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, as well as the breakup of Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris. But be warned: things get pretty nasty. She takes on Johnny and Amber first (right around the 2:58 mark), and unfortunately she can't really say much since it's such a touchy subject. She's all "allegedly" this and "allegedly" that, but she does say that if she was in Amber's situation (and if her claims of abuse are true), then she'd just take her own money and let Johnny "live with the guilt of scarring your pretty face and your mind," and basically just cut ties with him as soon as possible. Amber very obviously isn't going that route, but not everyone can be as sassy and fabulous as Wendy. Don't worry though, Wendy makes up for holding back on Amber and Johnny by going hard on Taylor and Calvin. After pretty much saying that Taylor looks like a ghost with her new hair, she says she thinks that Calvin got with Taylor in the first place for fame, but that Calvin made her "cool." She calls Taylor "a secret mean girl" and "super corny," and she shares that one of her team members told her "as soon as she takes off those clothes, there's nothing going on but a boy." That part is gross, but Wendy thought so too. Wendy also thinks that it's a bit questionable that Taylor's been through seven famous boyfriends at 26 years old. And that's kind of fair -- just get on eHarmony already and find some dude no one else cares about already, girl. (Fishwrapper)

The Bachelorette Recap: It's the End of the Chad as We Know It...Or Is It? Whoever decided it was time to move The Bachelorette from a sunny LA mansion to the deep woods of Pennsylvania is our new hero. Just that simple move took Chad (you know, the anti-hero star of The Chadchelorette) and all his actions from "creep you might have to avoid in an LA bar" to "oh my god, he's going to kill me with an ax and there's no one around to hear me scream." He was literally given an ax Tuesday night, during a nightmare date involving two men, a woman, and some axes. He could have done away with Alex and JoJo with one simple move and then headed back to the cabin to finish off the rest. And you know what? We would have watched that. We would have been horrified and we would have been pretty sure (and hopeful) that Ryan Murphy was hiding somewhere in the bushes, but we would have watched, and we would have continued watching next week to see Chad turn his ax on the crew. Yeah, we want a cross between American Horror Story and UnReal and we want it yesterday, OK? One thing that became clearer than ever Tuesday night was that this show is not, as it claims to be, about one woman's search for love. At least for this season, The Bachelorette is a show about how to be a man, and how men think men should be, and what straight men think women want from them, and just all the complications that arise when you put a whole bunch of theoretically adult men in one place at the same time. Last week, the guys saved the girl from fire. Then they went on a sports show to pretend dating was the same as sports. This week, they got on a stage to express their most insane sexual experiences, and then they played some football. In between those manly activities, they threatened each other, and confronted each other about threatening each other, worked out incessantly, and explained what they thought JoJo wanted in a man. The week ended with a two-on-one date that was mostly sitting in the woods and chopping trees, like only the manliest men often do. In each case, they did their best to prove they were the best at fighting fires, and the best at talking about dating like it was sports, and the best at having had sex one time, and the best at playing football. Sometimes, JoJo chose the guy who was the best, and sometimes she chose the guy who was just the cutest and most honest. So far, JoJo chooses whatever she damn well pleases when she chooses to choose it, but if you ask the guys, JoJo only wants and deserves the least-pansy man who wins the most at everything, no matter what. In a nutshell, this is one big dumb, presumptuous group of dudes, and we do not envy JoJo's place in the middle of them, just trying to keep them from killing each other while also trying to figure out if even one of them is one she'd want to live with for the rest of her life. They're like monkeys in a zoo. JoJo's their handler, and we're safely on the other side of the glass, camped out with wine and popcorn. Tuesday night, the monkeys first had to have a fun pool party before the big rose ceremony. It had seemed like Chris Harrison was going to send Chad home, but that moment was a big letdown. He just told Chad to apologize, which Chad tried to do, sort of, and everything was cool enough just long enough for the whole gang to have a pretty fun pool party. Evan started bleeding, and everyone looked at Chad, but in truth, Evan just has some sort of nosebleed problem. One guy even jumped into the pool with a full non-bathing suit on, 'cause ain't he just the goofiest? Everybody had a great time, until the rose ceremony. Both Chad and Canadian Daniel got roses, while Christian, Nick, and Ali were all sent home. (Nick, if you may remember, ruined the alphabet for us yesterday, so we're not all that sad to see him go.) Everyone was crazy mad about the continuing Chad situation, but they were able to put that unrest aside for the good of JoJo. Just kidding. They did not do that, but JoJo had a great time anyway on her one-on-one. She and Unicorn Luke enjoyed a hot tub in the woods, but the hot tub was way too hot, so Luke spent a while just holding JoJo above the water. Then, they made out on a platform in front of hundreds of people just wanting to enjoy a concert, which has surpassed the private concert as our new awkward nightmare. JoJo and Luke shared some genuinely lovely moments, and we decided we're fans of Luke. Up next was the big group date in which all the dudes met some football dudes and learned to play football. You will all be shocked to learn that the former (failed?) professional football player, Jordan, won the rose on the football date, even though JoJo spent all that time making out with Robby on a pool table. Meanwhile, Chad compared himself to a bear. He also threatened to go to Jordan's home after the show was over and... kill him? We're not sure. He just said he was going to go to his house, so maybe he was just thinking of a playdate? Maybe some Xbox? It was unclear. Then, the guys all squeezed onto a couch and sat in total awkward silence for way too long, up until Chad and Alex left for the dreaded two-on-one. That date was literally sitting in the woods, chopping wood, and being awkward, all while we feared someone was about to get murdered. We feel very bad for JoJo actually. This season has not been fun for her yet, and watching 20 guys try to continually prove themselves for you should, in theory, be super fun. Alex spent the date convincing JoJo that the Chad she knows is not the Chad the rest of us have come to know. Meanwhile, Chad told the camera that if Alex talks about him to JoJo, he will "take his teeth home." Alex's attempts finally worked, and JoJo sent him home. The guys cheered, but we found ourselves sad... until there was a knock on the door of the cabin. Chad had returned to take Alex's teeth home, we presume, and hopefully he's literally never going away because he's just the worst, in an incredible way. Now we have to wait two whole weeks to find out what happens next, and honestly two weeks has never seemed like a longer amount of time.

The latest news talent to join "Weekend Today," Stephanie Ruhle, put her foot in her mouth on her first day on the job. The former Bloomberg TV host had some not-so-nice things to say about her former employer, and she dished without realizing she was on camera. "She was talking crap about Bloomberg and didn't have her earpiece in. They were screaming in the control room, trying to get her to shut up," a source told us. Sources said it was anchor Craig Melvin who finally got Ruhle's attention -- and reminded her that the cameras were still rolling. We're told she was immediately scolded for the flub, which did not air, but another source insists that it wasn't that big a deal. "She really didn't say anything bad. She was essentially talking about the difference between 'Today' and Bloomberg. She said it was much more serious at Bloomberg and she didn't get to cover pop culture. There was no scandal," the insider said. Ruhle was an anchor at Bloomberg TV for five years before joining MSNBC and "Weekend Today." A rep for NBC did not comment. (Page Six)

Britt Robertson to Star in Netflix Comedy 'Girlboss'. The 13-episode series is inspired by Sophia Amoruso, founder of fashion brand Nasty Gal. Britt Robertson is returning to the small screen. The Life Unexpected and Tomorrowland star has booked the leading role in Netflix's comedy series Girlboss, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The series is inspired by the New York Times best-selling book #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso, founder of fashion brand Nasty Gal. Robertson will star as Sophia, a rebellious, broke anarchist who refuses to grow up. She stumbles upon her passion of selling vintage clothes online and becomes an unlikely businesswoman. As she builds her retail fashion empire, she realizes the value and the difficulty of being the boss of her own life. Pitch Perfect's Kay Cannon created the series, exec produces and serves as showrunner. Exec producers include Charlize Theron, Laverne McKinnon, Amoruso and Christian Ditter, the latter of whom will direct the single-camera comedy series. Girlboss will premiere in 2017. Amoruso is the founder and owner of fashion brand Nasty Gal. The company was cited as one of the fastest growing by Inc. Magazine in 2012. She developed a loyal following of young women via social media. The New York Times called her a "Cinderella of tech" a few years ago. Her autobiography, #Girlboss, was published in 2014. For Robertson, the Netflix comedy comes as she next stars in feature The Space Between Us, due Aug. 19; Mr. Church, due Sept. 9; and DreamWorks' A Dog's Purpose, due later this year. Last year, Robertson had back-to-back features with Nicholas Sparks' The Longest Ride and Tomorrowland, opposite George Clooney. More recently, Robertson reunited with Life Unexpected creator Liz Tigelaar for a recurring role on Hulu comedy Casual. Girlboss marks her return to series regular television following Life Unexpected, The Secret Circle and Under the Dome. Robertson is repped by Innovative Artists. (Hollywood Reporter)



'Orange Is the New Black' Season 4: TV Review. The fourth season of the Netflix favorite impressively maintains the series' creativity and forward momentum despite its sprawling cast of characters. By the fourth season of most top-tier series there's not much left to say that fans don't already know-unless you're about to tell them it's not very good anymore. Usually the biggest risks take place in third seasons, when creators feel the need to shake it up. Fourth seasons, on the other hand, and on the brighter side, are often some of the best-ever for those great shows that end up going five or six total seasons (more than six for a brilliant series is a complete rarity – see Mad Men). So where does that leave Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, as it both heads into its fourth season on June 17 and is renewed for an additional three seasons, giving it seven total (unless Netflix and series creator Jenji Kohan decide there are even more prison tales to tell)? Well, let's start here: Early episodes of season four are as compelling and entertaining and as well-written and acted as they have been for the past three, which is a tremendous achievement (particularly if it holds-which is likely, but not guaranteed). That is, if Orange Is the New Black nails it again in this coming season four as so many signs seem to suggest, it will enter into that rarified realm of Top-5 best series discussions. And yet, in case you glossed over that first paragraph-seasons four and beyond are where greatness is made and catastrophic implosions tend to occur. Having come off a wild and, yes, risk-taking third season that was met with tons of acclaim and left some intriguing questions to be answered in season four, it's clear that Orange Is the New Black isn't flagging and still feels as fresh as the first season, but has expanded exponentially when it comes to creativity and ambition. That's impressive and should take away some of the suspicion that Kohan will either get bored with the show or steer it erratically into some ditch (which was the fate of Weeds). At this point, she's earned a full pass on past mistakes and whatever accolades she's received are deserved. No fan wants spoilers of any kind for a series entering a third or fourth season. What's clear is that, like season three- perhaps more so-big twists and shocks are in store. Otherwise Netflix wouldn't have asked critics to sign off on a promise not to reveal a lengthy list of spoilers spanning 12 of the 13 coming episodes. What doesn't qualify as a spoiler, and most fans will know it from previews, is that overpopulation in the now for-profit (and therefore increasingly poorly run) prison will be a major theme this year, and one ethnic group inside the walls of Litchfield Penitentiary will get a big boost from the influx, changing the dynamic inside. Beyond that, expect more of the same and, given the warnings, more surprises (possibly not all of them the kind fans want, but ones that serve a creatively agile drama). And once again that circles back to what's a fairly remarkable achievement for Orange Is the New Black. Remember that it wasn't supposed to be Netflix's poster series-that was House of Cards. But OITNB has been both a fan favorite according to Netflix (though it doesn't release ratings) and critically acclaimed. It has evolved into a show in which the initial main character, Piper (Taylor Schilling), has been deftly supplanted by an impressive, immense cast whose stories have set the hook in viewers and are the reason the series remains vibrant and entertaining without any clear sign of creative fatigue. There are so many characters on Orange Is the New Black that viewers often find themselves having to look up who's who, especially when previously semi-ignored characters get their moment in the sun (and yes, that happens again multiple times in season four). In many ways OITNB has mirrored HBO's Game of Thrones in being able to continually expand and service the cast, but has arguably done a better job of staying nimble in the process. It doesn't have quite the epic source material, of course, but its array of characters that either matter essentially or contribute greatly to the show's enjoyment are legion. An hour of OITNB still, after four seasons, goes by pretty quickly and the series continues to be a drama that's easy (and built) to binge. Servicing these multiple characters is a superb accomplishment for the writers but it's not effective unless their stories, when finally told, are worth the wait. What can get overlooked, however, is how well the writers keep the plates spinning on "core" characters while simultaneously branching out. Again, this is Game of Thrones territory, and that's high praise indeed, given that show's recent Emmy haul. All of that is to say that there are very few series of elite stature where the possibility of peril seems so imminent and yet the creators and writers seem to dodge that fate regularly and press forward with stories as imaginative and moving as ever. So much could go wrong on OITNB that it's mind-boggling there hasn't been some kind of blown gasket, complete with fan kickback on Twitter. Right now OITNB is essentially reinventing season-long narratives with aplomb when it looked, in the early days, like there might be a dearth of stories to tell, a clock ticking on freshness. Not only has the series defied the most dire predictions, even from people who raved about that first season, but has become better every season. Can it keep that up? Seven seasons is so incredibly hard to fathom in terms of pure, sustained excellence that we'll just have to wait until then (hell, it might not even stop then). But right now, in the early stages of a vibrant fourth season, you'd be ill-advised to bet against this dramatic juggernaut. Cast: Taylor Schilling, Uzo Aduba, Laura Prepon, Kate Mulgrew, Danielle Brooks, Yael Stone, Laverne Cox, Blair Brown Created by: Jenji Kohan All 13 episodes available on Netflix June 17 (Hollywood Reporter)
