News can confirm The Leftovers star recently welcomed her second child with fiance Dave Garner.

Truly blessed ?Daddies girl....Now the real work starts training her big brothers to all become Ninja's, Martial Arts Experts & 24-7 Body Guards !!!" The good news comes after the star opened up to E! News about her pregnancy journey at the 2016 Critics' Choice Awards earlier this year. "It's amazing. It's so fun. I feel very grateful," she told E! News' Marc Malkin before gushing about the close relationship between her two other kids. "They're so sweet. It's so fun. My older boy is 11 and it's so sweet to see him with Sailor because there's a big age difference and he just absolutely adores him so much." Later on in February, the actress added, "Every day I'm like, 'Oh my, God!' But then I stop and take a deep breath and just focus on gratitude and how grateful I am for all the opportunities that I have." While Liv decided to keep the sex of her baby a "secret" from the public, the actress was happy to announce her third pregnancy on Instagram this past January. In a black and white photo by the beach, Dave's leading lady shared the good news with her followers. "Oh my goodness it seems the stork is visiting us again!!!!" she wrote while debuting her baby bump. "I am growing another little Tyler Gardner in my belly. Our family is growing!!! So grateful." With a new baby in the family, wedding planning has likely been pushed back just a little. But in her defense, there's a lot on the couple's plate right about now. "I always say this little mantra to myself that the universe only gives you what you can handle, so then I say thank you for giving me so much because I can handle it," she shared with E! News' Catt Sadler. "It's really fun, and my baby's so sweet." (Eonline)

As Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher continued their romantic summer getaway in Mexico over the weekend, the American Idol winner decided to honor their six-year wedding anniversary with a heartfelt post.

I am thankful for these past six years together (and, of course, for our beautiful son, Isaiah) and I look forward to spending the rest of our lives in love." For the past week, the Hollywood couple has been enjoying some much needed R&R in Cabo San Lucas. While Mike takes a rest from playing hockey for the Nashville Predators, Carrie is enjoying a quick break from the Storyteller Tour: Stories in the Round. As for what keeps this marriage on track, Carrie recently shared some perspective in an interview with Cosmopolitan. "We are good. It helped that we were both established before we were married," she explained to the publication. "Neither one of us could be like, 'I didn't know it would be like this!'"

We're easy to please," Carrie recently shared with Extra. "I'm always looking up baby-friendly things to do in wherever we are... [Isaiah] loves being outside. I want him to have childhood normalcy... We take him down to the pools, and the hotels and let him splash around because a kid would do that." (Eonline)

Is Miley Cyrus' New Tattoo in Honor of Liam Hemsworth? Miley Cyrus may be proving how much she adores Liam Hemsworth in a brand-new way. Over the weekend, the "We Can't Stop" singer decided to visit Doctor Woo at the Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood. What came next was a brand-new tattoo that has fans buzzing for some pretty romantic reasons. "@mileycyrus don't play when it comes to #vegemite," Dr. Woo wrote on Instagram while showing off the finished product Saturday afternoon. "#halfneedle." While some followers may think it's just a picture of the famous snack, others quickly remembered that Liam loves the Aussie treat. Just last month, the actor talked about growing up with his brothers Luke Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth. And as it turns out, the subject of food definitely came up. While being interviewed with Australia's Sunday Style, Liam received the gift of Aussie pies and sausage rolls. Spoiler alert: He kind of freaked out for all the right reasons. "My Aussie mates in Malibu are going to love these!" he shared when the smell of pastry filled the room. "After-school Milo and Vegemite on toast. I lived on it." If that wasn't enough, an interview all the way back in 2010 -- like during The Last Song days -- surfaced where Liam shared his favorite foods from his native country. "Meat Pies and Vegemite. They don't really have meat pies in the states; they have hot chicken pies, not meat pies," he explained to an Australian site. "Vegemite, definitely, I had four bits of Vegemite toast this morning!" Either Miley is incredibly thoughtful or this is quite the coincidence. Whatever the case may be, can we recommend the Hemsworth T-shirt to go along with your new ink? (Eonline)

Amy Schumer Considers Ben Hanisch Her First Boyfriend: "I Feel So Bad for Him." For the first time in her adult life -- scratch that, her entire life -- Amy Schumer is in love. Since late 2015, the Inside Amy Schumer star has been dating Ben Hanisch, a Chicago-based furniture maker. Though Amy has been in other romantic relationships before, she claims none of them can compare to the bond she has with Ben. "I feel like Ben is the first guy who's really been my boyfriend," she says in Marie Claire's August issue, on sale July 19. "There are guys who, if they heard me say that, would want to punch me in the face, but yeah, it's the truth." Though Ben has met her friends, her famous friends and her family, Amy says her relationship can be overwhelming. "Being in love is the scariest thing in the world. You want to f--king cry and scream. I can't handle it. Every time we say goodbye, I think, 'This will have been a nice last week together.' Or I tell myself nothing is real and he's going to leave me and tell me he never loved me," she tells the magazine. "I feel so bad for him. How exhausting it must be dating me." Perhaps Amy is just being hard on herself; it's not as if Ben has publicly said he wants out of the relationship. But even as a young girl, Amy admits she was "always self-effacing, self-reflective." "I hated feeling I was just like every other girl on Long Island," she says of her upbringing. "Looking at my clothes and my hair, I was very aware of not wanting to be the same as everyone." No one would dare say she's the "same as everyone" now. With a Primetime Emmy Award and a Peabody Award under her belt for her work on Inside Schumer, in addition to a stand-up tour, a soon-to-be-published book of essays and several film projects in the pipeline, she's forging a path that's all her own. "It's such a blur. I don't even remember what I've just done," she tells Marie Claire. "I'm trying to figure out how to navigate all this. I don't have it down. I. Do. Not." (Eonline)

The "I Ain't Even Done" singer announced Sunday that he is, in fact, done dating the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star.

I thank everyone in advance for respecting my wishes to keep my family life private." Omarion, 31, and Apryl, 29, are parents to son Megaa Omari, 23 months, and daughter A'mei Kazuko, 4 months.

"We continue to love and support one another and still share a common goal to remain friends while being great parents to our children." Jones confirmed the breakup, tweeting, "Single.... the end...." The cause of the couple's split is unknown. The breakup took some fans by surprise, given that just three weeks ago, Omarion wrote a heartfelt message praising Apryl's parenting. "She put put up with my Krazy," he wrote in an Instagram caption. "Now we have crazy kids. Thank you for giving me the two best gifts ever! A'mei & Megaa.

Blond bombshell Charlotte McKinney has split from her boyfriend, "Blade" actor Stephen Dorff. "He was fooling around with other women," said a source, who added of the Carl's Jr. model, "Charlotte has been dating Stephen for a while, but he carried on -- texting other women and inviting them over to his house on the beach in Malibu." The May-December pair, who are 20 years apart, had been dating since April of last year. Our source added that Dorff can be a party guy. "July Fourth weekend .?.?. there were all these random people in his house. Charlotte has had enough of him," the insider said. But another source close to the couple insisted that their breakup was not about other women, but rather McKinney's busy schedule. Parting ways was "more from her end," the source said, because "she has booked a couple of movies. It was nothing to do with partying or anything like that." McKinney, who appeared in "Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser," will star in the upcoming "Baywatch" movie with Zac Efron, and has a new Guess campaign out. (She has no new film projects beyond "Baywatch" announced as yet.) Dorff has several movies in the pipeline, including "Music, War and Love," with Stellan Skarsgård. Reps for both Dorff and McKinney declined to comment. (Page Six)

Hook, line and sinker! Blake Shelton has been using love Gwen Stefani as Voice bait during the blind auditions, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. "To get people on his team, Blake will say, 'I don't want to brag, but my girlfriend is the queen of ska,'" the source tells Us. Fans might experience some dejà vu when season 11 of the NBC sing-off launches September 19. "Blake used to say, 'My wife, Miranda Lambert, is the best female country star,'" the insider recalls. (Shelton, 40, and Lambert, 32, split last July after four years of marriage. Lambert has served as a mentor for Team Blake, a role later doled to his current girlfriend, Stefani, in season 10.) But Shelton is not just name-dropping the 46-year-old mom of Kingston, 10, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 2 (with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale), who stole his heart on The Voice set last October when they both served as coaches in season 9. "He talks about Gwen a lot," reveals the insider. "He's always gushing about her and is so happy!" The feeling is definitely mutual. On Shelton's 40th birthday June 18, Stefani, 46, joined the country singer on stage at his concert in Colorado. After a performance of the couple's new duet, "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," the "Used to Love You" singer planted a huge kiss on Shelton for the crowd and asked the audience to wish him a happy birthday. The next morning, Stefani gushed to her Instagram followers: "Happy birthday to @blakeshelton literally my favorite person ever." (US Weekly)

Tom Hiddleston was hit with questions about his new beau Taylor Swift whilst out jogging in Australia this weekend and he clearly wasn't ready to answer them... The 35 year-old actor, whose new relationship has been shrouded with conspiracy, was caught off guard by a group of journalists from Australian news stations during a jog, as everyone wanted to hear what he had to say about his new girlfriend. However, despite the pair's endless public displays of affection since stepping out together as a couple, Hiddleston seemed very reluctant to discuss the 26 year-old hit-maker and the whole thing was awkward to say the least... When asked how Taylor was enjoying the beautiful Gold Coast, Hiddleston awkwardly hesitated before saying "I'm not going to answer that if that's ok," and when asked what the pair had planned for their trip he answered "I don't know." Talk about being uncomfortable... (British Glamour)

Chaka Khan Enters Rehab for Prescription Drug Abuse and Prince's Death Spurred Her to Seek Help. Chaka Khan is in rehab and was motivated to seek treatment after Prince's death. The 63-year-old Grammy-winning R&B and funk singer, known for songs such as "Tell Me Something Good," a cover of Prince's "I Feel For You," and "I'm Every Woman" (made more famous by the late Whitney Houston), and her sister Yvonne Stevens, aka Taka Boom, recently entered a rehabilitation program to treat their addictions to prescription drugs, multiple outlets reported Sunday. Khan reportedly said she has been battling an addiction to the same medication that led to Prince's death and that his passing had spurred her decision to seek treatment. Prince died from an overdose of fentanyl, an opioid painkiller at age 57 at his Paisley Park studios in April. A rep for the singer said Khan has struggled with prescription pain medication dependence and has "voluntarily entered" a treatment program "to get healthy and stay that way." "Chaka Khan has entered an addiction rehabilitation and aftercare program which will cause her to postpone all dates scheduled for the month of July," her rep said in a statement with E! News. "Chaka has struggled with a dependence on prescription pain medications and has voluntarily entered the program to get healthy and stay that way. As part of the ongoing outpatient treatment the doctors have urged her to resume recording mid-July and all performances beginning August 1st and onward." Prince was allegedly addicted to painkillers and a day before he died, he was supposed to meet with a doctor who specializes in addiction. The singer never showed up. He and Khan were good friends. They collaborated on music and performed together several times. As a result of her treatment plans, Khan has canceled several summer tour dates, including a gig at the Stanislaus County Fair in Turlock, California that was set to take place Wednesday. "We are extremely disappointed Chaka Khan canceled because we knew how much the community was looking forward to it, yet at the same time we wish her the best in her health and full recovery," Stanislaus County Fair spokesperson told The Modesto Bee. Khan had also spent time in rehab for the same issue in 2013. "The battle of addiction is a serious and long process, which is why I chose to address my use of prescription medications -- which came about as a result of the knee surgery I had a few years ago," Khan wrote on her website at the time. "When and if necessary, I will seek alternative methods and traditional treatment to stay ahead of any potential problem. So many are not here today, and have lost this battle with addiction. Because these medications are legal, their abuse is often unknown -- until it's too late. If not handled they are a silent killer." (Eonline)

Joe Perry Collapses on Stage During Hollywood Vampires Concert in Brooklyn. Joe Perry is in stable condition after collapsing on stage during a Hollywood Vampires concert in New York Sunday. The guitarist was playing a set with band members Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp when he fell ill and stumbled off stage, according to audience members. Emergency services officials said an ambulance was called to The Amphitheater on the Coney Island Boardwalk at about 9:40 p.m. ET. Kevin Phalon, who was in the audience, told NBC News the 65-year-old musician collapsed during the second song of the supergroup's set. "He sat down during the song and then walked off behind the drum set," Phalon said. "After that, you could see a whole bunch of backstage people run off to the left side of the stage." The band soldiered on without Perry. According to Billboard, at one point Cooper told the audience, "If you notice one of our brothers is not onstage with us. He was very sick before the show." Perry was taken to the hospital for evaluation, then transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, the NYPD told the local ABC News affiliate. The band's post-show meet-and-greet was also canceled. At 11:20 p.m. ET, the rock band gave fans an update on Perry's health via Twitter. "Joe Perry is stable and resting," a statement read. "His brother Vampires and fans wish him a speedy recovery." Twenty minutes later, Cooper tweeted a similar message, writing, "Thanks to everyone asking about our brother @JoePerry. He is stable right now, with family & is under the best care." A tweet was also sent from Perry's Twitter account at 12:03 a.m. PT, which read, "Thanks to all of the fans reaching out and asking about Joe. He is stable right now, with family and is under the best care." Perry's Aerosmith bandmate, Steven Tyler, was performing a solo set in Vancouver Sunday and has yet to comment. The Hollywood Vampires are scheduled to make their first late-night appearance Monday on CBS' The Late Show With Stephen Colbert; it is unclear whether the performance will continue as planned. The rock band's next tour date is slated for Fraze Pavilion in Kettering, Ohio, Tuesday. (Eonline)

Country Star Craig Morgan's Son Jerry Greer Missing After Boating Accident. Police are scouring Kentucky Lake in Tennessee to try to locate Jerry Greer, the 19-year-old son of country star Craig Morgan and Karen Greer.

Lamar Odom is a vagabond without a home, after Khloe kicked him out of the Calabasas rental. As we reported, Khloe rented the $25k a month home for Lamar just blocks from hers, soon after he OD'd in Vegas last year. She wanted to be near him to help in his recovery.

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Wow, Kim Kardashian West has come a long way since 2007! On Monday, Kim took to Instagram to show off her cover story with Forbes Magazine. The spread is a big accomplishment considering Forbes is a top business magazine with a huge amount of subscribers. In Kim's message, she made note of how proud her late father Robert Kardashian would have been to see this dream come true in addition to slamming her longtime haters. Apparently the momma is DONE with all the people who say she has no talent! The reality star captioned the revenge pic: "Such a tremendous honor to be on the cover of @forbes! I never dreamed this would happen and know my Dad would be so proud. #NotBadForAGirlWithNoTalent ????." Dayum! Way to tell off those detractors, girl! As for the article itself, it focuses on West's ascension to mobile app domination and her unexpected tech savviness. Sometimes it's easy to forget the beauty made MILLIONS off her Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game amidst all of the nude selfie drama and baby making with Kanye West. Speaking on her major career shift, the 35-year-old explained: "When people looked at me in a way like, 'Why is she stepping into the tech world? That's not her territory! Stick to reality TV!' I was like, 'No'. This is fun for me. Now I'm coming up with Kimojis and the app and all these other ideas. I don't see myself stopping." Well said! If Kim has proved anything to us, it's that anything is possible! (Perez Hilton)

Kim Kardashian West showed off her cooking skills over the weekend -- but it was little Saint West who stole the show. On Sunday, Kardashian West, 35, and husband Kanye West, 39, hosted family and a few close friends for a home-cooked feast dubbed "#SoulFoodSundays." After posting a series of Snapchat videos and photos of her guests enjoying the meal, Kardashian West uploaded a sweet clip of herself cuddling up to 7-month-old Saint. Kardashian West also shared a photo appearing to show Saint's leg next to a child's feet, she captioned the Snap, "Cousin love." The couple served fried chicken, collard greens, biscuits and macaroni and cheese at the soiree and the meal was apparently cooked by Kardashian West herself -- "For all the skeptics out there," she said in a Snapchat video. Although she confessed that she wasn't the chef behind the collard greens, Kardashian West's guests seemed pleased with the meal. "You made me a believer," TV personality Terrence J said as he ate a spoonful of food. "I had no idea." In another Snapchat clip, Kevin Hart joked that he thought Kardashian West would serve tuna casserole and caviar. "I didn't know you had chicken over here!" Hart said before flashing a huge grin. "You did that!" As for West's opinion of Kardashian West's cooking skills, she said, "No testimony needed from my husband." (Page Six)

Friends of Taylor Swift's ex Calvin Harris told Page Six the jilted DJ is peeved at how she's been flaunting her new "relationship" with actor Tom Hiddleston. "He's not happy about their relationship. He was hurt. Looking back, some friends do feel like Taylor's team manipulated and orchestrated part of [her] relationship [with Calvin] after seeing how public she is with her new guy. It makes sense," a source said. Critics of cloyingly smitten couple Swift and Hiddleston are calling their relationship a p.r. stunt after every smooch and hand-hold seems to be a photo op complete with fashion credits blasted out by brands. "I wouldn't put it past her. That's what they do. It's obvious," the source close to Harris said of Swift's highly publicized relationship. Harris' new breakup song, "Ole," with singer John Newman, seems to be an ode to Swift. Lyrics include: "I see online/That you've begun to be a good girl/And take trips with your boyfriend/Being attentive/Continue to pretend." "Calvin always speaks the truth," said the pal. Harris' rep didn't get back to us. (Page Six)

Katie Couric was spotted on jury duty in Manhattan Criminal Court last week -- but the news anchor didn't make the cut when she asked the lawyers too many questions about the case. Spies said the former "Today" host served for two days and even made it to the voir-dire process. But "she wasn't selected because she couldn't help but try to turn the tables and start asking questions of the lawyers," a spy said. "She was being too inquisitive" about the case, but was otherwise "super friendly" with her fellow potential jurors. Last week at her day job, Couric also interviewed Edmond Jordan, the attorney for the family of Alton Sterling, who was fatally shot Tuesday in Baton Rouge, La. (Page Six)

Ramona Singer has angered her "own" company that sells hair extensions made from human locks -- by being a diva. In January, the "Real Housewives of New York" star announced she was launching the brand and that getting the extensions into stores would be a "major storyline" on the Bravo show. But it seems that relations between her and the founder have soured. In a blistering e-mail, Victoria Flores, who set up the Lux Beauty Club before bringing Singer onboard, seemingly ended their short-lived business relationship last week because of what she called Singer's "diva behavior," at one point railing, "You are not Angelina Jolie!" A source said Singer wanted "to shake up the hair industry" and would be "trying to get [the cast, including Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel to] try the hair." But apparently things didn't go as planned. In the e-mail telling Singer that "any agreement we had, written or verbal, is null and void," Flores complained that Singer had been a let-down at a promotional appearance at beauty store Harmon Face Values. Such an amazing day celebrating #hair and #luxbeautyclub! Thank you to everyone who came out to see us! Now get comfortable and tune in to #bravo for #RHONY!! #luxbeauty #luxbeauties #luxbeautyclub #hairextensions #realhousewivesofny #pressonhair @bedbathandbeyond #harmonfacevalues "We were incredibly disappointed with your attitude at Harmons and our [return on investment] on you has been less than overwhelming," wrote Flores. "I can't build a business with someone that fights me on everything I need them to do, and I want to partner with people that care about my business and are not motivated by blinding greed. This isn't working out for me anymore." She added, "You have been nothing but disrespectful .?.?. We would have never agreed to bring you on as a Brand Ambassador if we had been [a bigger company] .?.?. I would have given [a household name like] Rita Ora a part of my company, NOT Ramona Singer." By Sunday tempers had settled, and Singer told us she was planning to sit down with Flores to work out their differences. "I can't be fired as I have a signed contract that last [sic] 2 years .?.?. With no termination Clause," Singer e-mailed. "They are severely undercapitalized and cannot afford to pay what is owed to me. I have fulfilled [sic] all my contractual Obligations." Neither Flores nor Bravo got back to us. (Page Six)

Sandra Lee was honored at the "A Hamptons Happening" event for the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation this weekend in Bridgehampton, where it took the crowd a bit to settle down. "She asked .?.?. for the crowd in the back at the bars to please be quiet," says a spy. "She finally asked for the bar to stop serving." When everyone quieted down, Lee gave a speech about her struggle with breast cancer. "It was a touching speech. Everyone was quiet at this point -- rapt with attention." (Page Six)

Isabella Rossellini has discussed ageism in Hollywood, noting that between the ages of 45 and 60 actresses are "stuck in limbo," struggling to find work. Speaking to The Guardian, Isabella - who in 1996 was dropped as the face of Lancome after 14 years in favor of Juliette Binoche who is 12 years her junior - said the following: "My mum told me that there is no job for women between 45 and 60, because you are in-between. You are not young enough to play the young girl, but you are also not old enough to play the matriarch, the witch or grandmother." She continued: "There is a period of 15 years where you're in limbo and they don't know how to hire you. Then after 60, a lot of work comes back." Isabella also discussed the problem with cosmetic surgery, comparing it to practices such as feet binding: "Sometimes I wake up and think, 'Is this the new technology? Let's go and do the operation.' But most of the time I wake up and think, 'Is this the new feet binding, is this the new way of being misogynist, is this a new way to tell women they're ugly, is this a new way of telling women they should be this and this?' And you give standards that are impossible to be reached, because the underlying problem is misogyny." (British Glamour)

Perrie Edwards celebrated her 23rd birthday with a festival-themed party over the weekend, posting loads of dressed-up photo with her pals. But when she posted a photo with her dad, the internet pretty much lost it... We had no idea Perrie had a hot dad! Posting a photo to Instagram with her dad, Alexander, Perrie captioned it: "Dads here... Birthday shindig Round two" as the man in question jokingly flexed his muscles and pouted. Instagram users all over were overjoyed at the revelation, with some comparing him to Orlando Bloom, while others called him a 'DILF', and even more professed their love for him. We want to see more of your dad, Perrie! (British Glamour)

Maternal concern in a world full of hate and violence is well and good, but ... Blac Chyna's probably not the best example of who should worry about their baby's welfare. But there are a lot of black moms with very, very valid concerns about their own children. In light of the recent well-documented police killings of black men, Blac Chyna (in a now-deleted post) posted this caption alongside a video of her son touching her very pregnant belly: "As a mother that is about to bring another baby into this world it's devastating the world that we live in. We need to get our gun control in check and start loving each other's uniqueness." It's not the most eloquent thing in the world, but that doesn't really matter when she's clearly full of so many emotions. This is that "speaking from the heart" thing we've heard so much about. But here's the thing about this baby in particular. The baby's dad is Rob Kardashian. And we're not pointing that out because Rob is white -- racists have never been deterred by interracial relationships (usually the opposite). But this baby is gonna be a Kardashian. That's more than just being a rich black kid -- that's going to mean being one of the most famous babies in the world. That won't make them immune to racism, of course, but it will keep them from being mistaken for a "thug" or whatever goes through the minds of violent racists right before they pull the trigger. And as for the general risk of mass shootings, her child will live with a kind of security that's completely foreign to most humans. Honestly, there are a lot of scared mothers who wish that their children could have a chance like Chyna's will. But, hey, good for Chyna for using her platform to talk about the issue ... however briefly. (Fishwrapper)

Donald Trump Spoke With Caitlyn Jenner Days After Meeting With Anti-LGBT Religious Groups -- So Where DOES He Stand On The Bathroom Bill?! Over the past year, Donald Trump has said A TON of ridiculous and contradictory things. But it looks like the politician might actually have to take a hard stance on that whole bathroom bill! As you're probably aware, back in March, North Carolina's Governor Pat McCrory signed the EXTREMELY controversial law which ultimately prevents a transgender man or woman from using the correct bathroom for the gender they identify with. Many celebrities and politicians have already come out against the idiotic bill, but The Donald has somewhat remained on the fence -- and it sounds like Caitlyn Jenner is okay with it! Sure, we know Cait used Trump's bathroom in Trump Tower, but NOW we've learned the reality star actually met with the candidate shortly after he had meetings with anti-LGBT supporters! Just a couple weeks ago, the 69-year-old businessman took a call from Caitlyn to talk a bit about transgender issues and where he stands on particular topics. While it's always great to see people, even scumbags like Trump, open their minds to a more tolerant lifestyle, the timing of the meeting sure rubs us the wrong way! After previously saying things like North Carolina was "paying a big price" for its bathroom law, the fact that the former Celebrity Apprentice star decided to meet with hundreds of religious conservatives doesn't really seem like he's fully supporting the LGBT community! Normally, this might show an open-minded willingness to listen to both sides of the argument, but seeing as how Trump met with groups like Focus on the Family and Family Research Council-both of which are VERY against legal protections for gay and transgender people -- we think Trump is just trying to play both sides. The reason why this is all becoming increasingly important is on Monday, delegates are supposed to get together to adopt a provision for their new platform for 2016 and what they have so far regarding LGBT issues does NOT sound very supportive! When several states had problems with transgender students using bathrooms, Obama threatened to withhold federal funding from schools not allowing their kids to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that aligned to their gender identities! Well a portion of the GOP's platform is VERY critical of Barack's threat saying: "They are determined to reshape our schools -- and our entire society -- to fit the mold of an ideology alien to America's history." Not enough? Another section criticizes those who boycott businesses that deny services to same-sex couples. Because you know, discriminating against the LGBT community is freedom of speech -- discriminating against discriminatory businesses is an outrage... Since Trump hasn't committed to his stance on a very touchy subject within the conservative party, we're definitely curious to see which side of the fence he will land on! (Perez Hilton)

Here's Why the Internet Won't Stop Talking About Pokemon Go -- and Why It's So Dangerous. Pokemon is back, everyone, but this time it's in the shape of Pokemon Go, the latest mobile app to take the world by storm. Released last Wednesday, Pokemon Go has already captured the world's attention in ways we can't even begin to explain. The original Pokemon -- game and creatures -- debuted in Japan in 1996 and became an instant sensation across the globe. Kids watched the TV show, collected the cards and played the Game Boy games to no end. Now that Pokemon is back, satisfying a nostalgia-crazed generation, it's leading to some scary and weird discoveries. The concept of Pokemon Go is such: players are trying to find the beloved animated creatures in the real world. Using GPS, the game requires actual physical exploration, unlike the original Nintendo series that was limited to its console. To collect Pokemon, people have to walk around until they find one. Users then use Pokeballs to capture the creature they've spotted while out and about. When players continue to capture the same Pokemon repeatedly, they receive candies, which ultimately cause the Pokemon to grow in power. While the game certainly has its perks -- making people a tad more active for starters -- it also has its downsides. With players constantly glued to their phones, people are running into each other and people's real-world houses have turned into "gyms," or a place where Pokemon can be trained. One unlucky man in Massachusetts found his house surrounded by strangers who had discovered his "gym." Not only have strangers started popping up on private property, the least of the concerns quite honestly, people have also gotten hurt. One Reddit user confessed he fell down a ditch only 30 minutes into downloading the game. He fractured a bone in his foot. Another player fell off his skateboard and drew blood. This list of injuries goes on and on. But what's scarier is one discovery that was made by a 19-year-old woman -- and no, it wasn't a rare Pokemon; Wyoming resident Shayla Wiggins hopped a fence to walk by a river in order to capture a Pokemon from a natural water source when she discovered a dead body. In Missouri, police say players were robbed after visiting remote Pokestops. Four suspects, all teenagers, were charged with armed robbery, as police recovered a handgun from one teen. None of these dangerous incidents, however, has curbed interest in this game, so I guess all we can say is, be careful playing, everyone! (Eonline)

Tickets to see Lin-Manuel Miranda's final appearance in Broadway hit "Hamilton" were going for as much as $20,000 on Saturday night. Sources told us that scalper prices were sky-high to see Miranda take his final bow at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Miranda got a one-minute standing ovation on his first entrance in the opening number, "Alexander Hamilton,'' followed by many more ovations throughout the night, including his emotional curtain call. Stars in the audience included Secretary of State John Kerry, Jennifer Lopez, Spike Lee, Mariska Hargitay, Charlie Rose, Jane Fonda and Aaron Paul. Miranda cut off his Hamilton ponytail before the after-party and posted a picture of it on Twitter. (Page Six)

Chris Brown played the race card and it cost him his Vegas gig. The singer was 86'd from his Vegas residency at Drai's Nightclub for refusing to apologize to the club's owner after calling Drai's a racist venue ... according to a letter management fired off to CB's attorney and obtained by TMZ. Not too long ago ... Chris torched the club on Instagram, and that pissed off Drai's to the point it issued an ultimatum -- apologize or get out. But it wasn't just the IG post ... Drai's says Chris' recent behavior has "garnered negative public attention" causing concern among Drai's management. We're guessing those concerns might have been this, this and this. We reached out to both sides to see if they've mended things, but no word back. So for now ... deuces! (Page Six)

Chvrches & Hayley Williams Get Animated in 'Bury It' Video. If you've been digging the sound of Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry's voice jockeying with Paramore's Hayley Williams on the remix of Chvrches' "Bury It" then you'll probably love the animated clip for the song. The video from frequent collaborator Jamie McKelvie, with animation from Mighty Nice, is set in an alternate world where Mayberry and band practice their power to levitate objects using just their minds. That's cool, until they meet Williams, whose own telekinetic powers are equally impressive, inspiring the group's members to explore their previously untapped powers of flight. As reported by Pitchfork, in a statement announcing the video, Chvrches' Iain Cook explained the genesis of the clip. "Ever since Jamie McKelvie began working with us on CHVRCHES poster designs, we have been discussing ways in which we could further our creative relationship. His work on comics such as Phonogram, Young Avengers and most recently The Wicked + The Divine have cemented his reputation as one of the most unique and exciting artists." McKelvie was equally psyched to extend the partnership. "Music has always had a big influence on my work, and making a music video seemed like a natural progression of that. Getting the opportunity to work on this video with such great collaborators - CHVRCHES, Hayley Williams, and Mighty Nice - meant the reality turned out even better than I'd imagined." The remix of "Bury It" will be featured on the upcoming extended edition of Chvrches' second album, Every Open Eye. (Billboard)

Jay Z Posts 'Songs For Survival' Playlist Featuring Kendrick Lamar, Nina Simone, Outkast & Beyonce. It's been a hard week. The killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police officers lit a fire under a number of artists who responded with protest songs, including Jay Z, who rushed out "Spiritual," a song he originally composed after the death of Mike Brown in 2014, but which he felt compelled to finally unleash in the wake of Sterling and Castile's deaths. Over the weekend, Jay doubled down, posting a playlist called "Songs for Survival," featuring 24 songs of hope, survival, struggle and love. The list mixes classic protest tracks such as Curtis Mayfield's "We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue," Nina Simone's "Four Women," Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" and Gil Scott Heron's "The Revolution Will Not be Televised" with modern songs about struggle such as Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," Kanye West's "Ultralight Beam," Common's "Forever Begins" and Outkast's "Vibrate." Among the other tracks on the playlist: Stevie Wonder ("Village Ghetto Land," "Love's in Need of Love Today"), Fela Kuti ("Zombie"), Bob Marley ("War," "Redemption Song"), James Brown ("Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud") and Mos Def ("UMI Says").

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jennifer Lopez Perform "Love Makes the World Go Round" for Orlando Victims' Families. "The world needs this right now. The world really needs the message of love being the answer. That's what really matters." Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda performed their new Orlando-inspired peace anthem entitled "Love Make the World Go Round" on Today on Monday morning. The track, made available for download on July 7 on iTunes, benefits the Hispanic Federation's Proyecto Somos Orlando initiative, which "will address the long-term needs for mental health services that are culturally competent and bilingual. Proyecto will enable care to be delivered to those affected directly in the communities in which they live. Beyond emergency assistance, they will be provided with case management, crisis intervention and mental health services, among other needs." Fifty survivors and family members of the victims of the Orlando tragedy were present in the Rockefeller Plaza crowd for the performance. Beginning with a clip of the Hamilton creator's "Love is love" speech at the Tony Awards, the dance track features Miranda -- fresh off his last Hamilton performance -- rapping about peace and love ("A generation of innovators enabled to patiently wait for change 'cause change is what they've been afraid of / the malevolence can wait, raise a level of debate, celebrate, elevate") while Lopez sings the titular line to ring in the chorus: "We're not staying inside today / they're not taking our pride away." How did the song come to be? Lopez explained on Today that she's had the song for eight months, but "when everything happened in Orlando, I heard it in a different way for the first time. I was like, 'The world needs this right now. The world really needs the message of love being the answer. That's what really matters; that's what really makes the world go round, nothing else. Hate, anger, it's not gonna get us anywhere.'" She then approached Miranda about rapping on the bridge of the track. (Hollywood Reporter)

Kristen Stewart Pitches a Female James Bond. Kristen Stewart has already admitted she wouldn't mind playing a superhero, but what about James Bond? We got to talking about the British super spy the other day when I caught up with the Twilight star and Nicholas Hoult while they were promoting their new indie Equals. I asked Hoult what he thinks about having his name included on lists of possible actors to replace Daniel Craig as Bond. "I think I'm a little bit too young to be honest," the 26-year-old Hoult said, explaining that Bond is in his "30s or 40s." Stewart interjected, "Yeah, but that's getting a little stale." After insisting he doesn't think he's in the running for the coveted role, Hoult said, "My vote would be for Idris Elba." Both dismiss critics who slam casting a black actor or a woman as Bond. "We'll walk into the screen test and I'll see you dressed in a tuxedo," Hoult cracked. "I'll be like, 'Kristen, what are you doing here?' I'll just turn around and walk straight back out." Stewart went so far as to imagine how they'd first introduce a female James Bond. "You start off as the Bond girl and then you think it's just the girlfriend and then you're like, 'She's actually [Bond],'" she said "In the trailer, it's him and then [a] bait and switch." Hoult said, "I'll be like your Q." Equals is available now on DirecTV and in theaters nationwide on July 22. (Eonline)

Matt Damon "Totally Fine" With Younger Actor Taking Over Jason Bourne. Damon was in South Korea promoting the upcoming fifth installment in the action franchise. Matt Damon says he's "totally fine" with a younger actor taking over the role of Jason Bourne after he's done with the action franchise. Speaking on a promotional tour in Seoul, South Korea, Damon, who returns for the fifth installment titled Jason Bourne that's released this summer, said he was "definitely going to be replaced someday by some new young Jason Bourne. That happens to everybody and they reboot these things, and that's totally fine." Damon added: "The only control I can exercise is over the ones that I'm part of. I'm the curator of them as long as I'm involved and that's why I battled so hard to make sure that we got the same creative people [including director Paul Greengrass] to get involved in this one." Fourteen years since the first film in the franchise, Damon said he was "very excited" to be playing Bourne again, a character that "had a huge impact on my life and career." He said, however, it wasn't easy to keep up with action sequences at his age. "It's difficult when you're 45 compared to when you're 29, but you still have to run as fast as you can. That part was a challenge but to get to revisit the people was wonderful. But I said, let's smell the roses as we say and appreciate that we get to be here together and make sure we have fun [especially because it was so tense on the set for the other films]." The star emphasized, however, that there was also something new fans can look forward to. "You'll see what you've seen before [in the upcoming film] and will recognize it as a Jason Bourne movie but it feels new and of the world we're living in today," he said, such as a massive car chase scene that left 170 vehicles getting towed in front of the Bellagio Hotel fountains on Las Vegas Boulevard. "It's where we ended Ocean's Eleven," he said. "It's bigger than anything we've done but it has this same kind of visceral experience that these Bourne car chases have been known for. Hopefully it's the best one yet." He added that moviegoers will be able to feel the vibe of "new energy and new people between Vincent Cassel, Tommy Lee Jones and the best upcoming actress in the world, Alicia Vikander." Among co-stars, the Oscar-winning Vikander accompanied the Asia tour that kicks off in Korea. Vikander said it was incredibly "emotional" coming back to South Korea, where she had her first international film festival experience in Busan with her first feature film Pure in 2010. "It was a whirlwind moment coming here and I hadn't been to Cannes so the red carpet was mind-blowing at [the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF)]. To be back here, it both feels that a lot of time has passed and that it has gone by in a second," she said about winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Danish Girl since then. Jason Bourne will be released in Korea two days ahead of the rest of the world on July 27 via UPI Korea. Shortly after on Aug. 18, another one of Damon's iconic films, Good Will Hunting, will be re-released in Korean theaters in a digitally re-mastered format in time for its 20thanniversary.

China Film Group's $690M IPO Plan Gets Regulatory Approval. A listing by the state film giant is a sign that the government plans to retain its central position in the country's movie business and future box office. Chinese regulators have given China Film Group the green light for an initial public offering on the Shanghai stock exchange, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said Monday over social media platform Weibo. China Film Co., a central part of the Chinese state-backed film colossus China Film Group, is looking to list 467 million shares and raise about $688 million (4.6 billion yuan), according to an earlier application filing. Roughly 27 percent of the capital raised would be invested in film and TV production, while 26 percent would go towards building more digital cinemas, the company has said. China Film's IPO ambitions stretch back to at least 2004, when it tried and failed to gain approval for a listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Over the past five years, the company has postponed going public in Mainland China on three occasions. A date for the IPO wasn't immediately set. China Film Group is the dominant player in China's booming movie sector. It has monopoly control of the import and distribution of all foreign films, and it produces and distributes many local Chinese movies, as well as operates theater chains, sells film equipment and manages talent. It has also become an active minority investor in Hollywood films, such as Universal's Furious 7 last year and Legendary Entertainment's Warcraft and The Great Wall. China's film market is the second-biggest in the world and continues to expand. Last year, its box office amounted to $6.8 billion. A listing by the state film giant is a sign the government plans to retain its central position in the country's film sector and future box-office growth. (Hollywood Reporter)

China Box Office: 'Cold War 2' Leads Weekend Dominated by Local Films. Paramount's 'TMNT 2,' meanwhile, plunged 74 percent, pulling in just $6.6 million in its second weekend in China. Chinese moviegoers released some pent-up demand for local storytelling over the weekend. After nine consecutive weeks of imported Hollywood movies dominating screens, three Chinese films shot to the top of the local box office. Hong Kong genre master Johnnie To's Cold War 2 lead the charge, grossing $44 million from Friday to Sunday, nearly triple the first Cold War film's $15.4 million 4-day debut back in 2012. The strong debut should come as some assurance to the Hong Kong film industry, after a string of the city's signature crime thrillers opened relatively soft in the mainland Chinese market over the past couple years (Media Asia Films' Helios took $20.68 million in its four-day opening weekend last year; Overheard 3 earned $24.1 million in its opening week in 2014). Chow Yun Fat boosted the movie's star power, joining a returning lead cast including Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung and Eddie Pang. The sequel also got a big splash as the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival in June. Local fantasy animation Big Fish & Begonia, produced and distributed by Beijing Enlight Media, came in no. 2 with an impressive $33.7 million from Friday to Sunday. South Korea's Studio Mir, one of the creative forces behind Nickelodeon's popular animated series, Legend Of Korra, was heavily involved in the film's production. Youth romance Never Gone, starring Kris Wu and Liu Yifei, wasn't far behind with $26.7 million. The movie has been promoted as a sequel to actress Vicky Zhao's breakthrough directorial debut So Young, which earned $114.7 million in 2013, an historic haul for the romantic genre in China. Both So Young and Never Gone are based on online novels by author Xin Yiwu, but otherwise the stories aren't related. Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, meanwhile, plunged 74 percent after winning last weekend with $25.2 million, pulling in just $6.6 million in its second frame. Steep fall-offs for Hollywood imports have been common in China throughout 2016. Huayi Brothers' 3D animated film Rock Dog opened to a disappointing $3.9 million in fifth. Adapted from a comic book written by Chinese rock star Zheng Jun and directed by American animation veteran Ash Brannon (Toy Story 2, Surf's Up), hopes were high for the movie, which follows a Tibetan mastiff who dreams of rock glory. The English version of the movie features a voice cast including J.K. Simmons, Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Matt Dillon, and Sam Elliot. International release plans have not yet been announced. Further down the list, Now You See Me 2's China total inched upwards to 92.7 million and Independence Day: Resurgence hit $73.9 million -- both movies have been in Chinese cinemas for 17 days. And Pixar's Finding Dory is ending its China run just under $40 million. As of Sunday it had earned $37.8 million after 24 days. The next Hollywood release in China will be Warner Bros' The Legend of Tarzan on July 19. (Hollywood Reporter)

Whoopi Goldberg Will Continue to "Annoy Some, Delight Others" on The View Through 2017. Rest easy, fans of The View: Whoopi Goldberg isn't going anywhere. (For the next year, anyway.) After months of contract negotiations and public speculation, Goldberg has announced via Twitter that she will return for the show's 20th season. "Ok NOW it's official, I have re-upped for 1 year returning to @TheView 4 the 2016/2017 season," Whoopi tweeted Monday. "Will continue 2 annoy some, delight others." Although media outlets reported last month that Whoopi was locked in for the upcoming season, her tweet clarifies that the deal has only just been set in stone. The confirmation means that the "Hot Topics" panel will look pretty similar to its current lineup, with Joy Behar and Paula Faris already committed to the season and regular contributor Sara Haines in talks to join the round table. No word yet on whether current co-hosts Raven-Symone or Candace Cameron-Bure will be back in their seats as well. Whoopi has a busy year ahead of her: In addition to working on The View, she'll be hard at work as executive producer of Strut, a new Oxygen reality series about transgender fashion models.

Melissa McCarthy Has "Written" More Episodes of Gilmore Girls and The Description of Them Is Great. Melissa McCarthy has big plans for Gilmore Girls. The Ghostbusters star got her start on The WB/CW drama and is returning to Stars Hollow as chef Sookie St. James for the Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Right now the revival is just four 90-minute installments, but McCarthy has big dreams. "Seven hundred," she told E! News' Will Marfuggi when asked about how many episodes are involved. "There's only four movies, but I have written an additional 696 episodes. It's just kind of me and a voiceover..." McCarthy will return alongside Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop, Scott Patterson, Liza Weil, Matt Czuchry, Milo Ventimiglia, Jared Padalecki and more famous Stars Hollow residents for the Netflix revival. If you've been following the revival, you know McCarthy's return almost didn't happen. At first creator Amy Sherman-Palladino said McCarthy was too busy. Then McCarthy said she wasn't asked. After a series of back and forths in the press and social media, McCarthy announced she would be heading to the set and filming once again as Sookie St. James. "It was fantastic," she told us about her return to the show. "To be back there and be back in that world was pretty dreamy. It just felt like we hadn't been gone that long at all. It was really nice." Next up for McCarthy is the Ghostbusters reboot. She stars alongside Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth in the flick directed by Bridesmaids helmer Paul Feig. Gilmore Girls' revival will premiere on Netflix this fall, while Ghostbusters hits theaters on July 15. (Eonline)

What to Expect From Mr. Robot Season 2: More Darlene, "Dark Places" and Unpredictable Twists. Carly Chaikin is just like you. The Suburgatory veteran, who is currently getting her hack on as Darlene on USA's critically acclaimed Mr. Robot, confessed to E! News she's "so excited" for season two, just like you. And also just like you, she wondered, "After season one we were all kind of like, 'OK, where do we go from here?'" But fear not! "Because we did set the bar so high, and this season we definitely match it if not exceed it," she said. Phew. Don't expect a retread of last season with fsociety, the hacker group fronted by Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) who is actually a figment of Elliot's (Rami Malek) imagination, attempting another big hack and things getting in their way. Chaikin said the story picks up a few weeks after the season one finale events with a spotlight on Darlene. "I would say you are going to be immersed in each and every one of these characters' story this year" Malek promised. "It's so interesting. I don't know how to say it. There's so much that goes on in every scene that it's hard to peel your eyes away and you don't want to. There's a lot of information coming your way, I will say that, but so much of it is done in an entertaining way that moves the show forward at a furious pace, one that takes everyone down to some really dark places." Gulp. And don't try to predict anything, Portia Doubleday cautioned. The cast had to assemble to read the last four scripts of the season in a warehouse. "It was crazy," she said. Mr. Robot season two premieres Wednesday, July 13 at 10 p.m. on USA. (Eonline)

Teresa Giudice's Daughters Were the Real Stars of the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 7 Premiere. There was a lot to savor in Sunday night's season seven premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. After nearly two years (!) off the air, the show had a lot of heavy lifting to do to get us back into the Garden State state of mind. We got caught up with Melissa Gorga and her new entrepreneurial adventure. We welcomed Jacqueline Laurita back into the fold and got a refresher on her dramatic history with her former cast mates. And that's not even mentioning the introduction of the season's two fresh faces, Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania. (And yes, that's a winking nod at Siggy's absolutely bonkers first scene in the series. Thank you for noticing.) But, let's be honest: We were all here to witness the return of Teresa Giudice, making her way home to her family after 11 and a half long months behind bars. Who knew, though, that it would be Teresa's daughters who would steal the show and break our hearts in the process? Throughout their legal struggles, it's been hard to feel too bad for Teresa and her husband Joe. Yes, it's horrible that they would have to be away from their family, but they did, you know, commit crimes. What had gotten lost in the mix, before tonight, however, was the toll it all took on their four children. With the final act of the episode dedicated to Teresa's early morning return, we finally saw -- with heartbreaking clarity -- just what an ordeal this had been for the young girls. If you weren't reaching for a tissue as eldest daughter Gia (somehow just only 14 after seemingly being a teenager for all seven seasons of this show) broke down in tears at the sight of her mother back in their home, there might be something wrong with you. It was clear that for the duration of Teresa's time away, Gia was forced to step into a makeshift mother role, caring for her younger sisters Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana -- something that no girl just barely in her teens should be forced to take on. And in that moment, as she watched her younger sisters embrace their mother, you could see that feeling of responsibility wash away with her tears. Gia could simply be a girl again. A girl who needed her mother and finally had her back. Authentic family drama has always been the bread and butter of RHONJ, something that's helped it stand out from the pack. And while this season sure seems packed to the gills with nasty squabbling among the ladies (Jacqueline, in particular, seems to have returned ready to go to war with anyone and everyone willing), it's moments like little Audriana, who certainly doesn't understand the complexities of just why her mom has been gone for nearly a year, announcing with such pure joy, "Mommy, you're home," that keep us invested. Teresa may be home, but the family now faces the even longer imprisonment of their father Joe. While there's no doubt that it will be difficult to watch at times (that clip in the episode-ending supertease of the usually unflappable Milania in tears is something we're already bracing ourselves for), we'll be there with bated breath. Because at this point, it's like they're our family, too. And like one former RHONJ star once said -- we're thick as thieves. Did Teresa's return home have you in tears too? The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. (Eonline)

Famously Single's Josh Murray Takes His Blind Date Out for Round Two and Comes Cleans About His Lies. Josh Murray is coming clean. After last week's wild blind dating experiment, The Bachelorette alum decides to ask his date Diana out for round two because he had such a good experience. And this time, he's doing without Brandi Glanville's naughty advice! Josh takes Diana to the batting cages and reveals he had an ear piece in throughout their dinner and was repeating everything Brandi told him to say. "What did you think was weird about me the other night?" he asks. "I didn't think anything was weird," she replies. "Honestly, it takes a lot for me to get uncomfortable and I just thought it was fun." "I remember there was one time I just felt like a jerk," Josh confesses. "I'm like, 'You have beautiful eyes, but I love blue eyes.' She told me to say that. I felt so bad, but you took in stride." Diana then tries to guess which parts of their conversation were legit or inspired by Brandi. (Eonline)

NBC has announced that it will dedicate an hour in primetime on each of the four nights of the upcoming political conventions. That is one more hour than in years past when NBC, ABC and CBS only aired one hour a night of the last three nights of the Republican and Democratic conventions. ABC has already announced that it plans to air an hour of primetime convention coverage on all four nights of each convention. The Republican and Democratic conventions are being held July 18-21 in Cleveland and July 25-28 in Philadelphia, respectively. Lester Holt, Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Chuck Todd are set to anchor NBC's coverage from Cleveland and Philadelphia with NBC Nightly News, Today and Meet the Press all broadcasting live from the conventions. Holt will also anchor NBC 's primetime coverage with Guthrie and Todd, which is set to air from 10-11 p.m. ET across all four nights of each convention and be live-streamed on NBCNews.com. MSNBC will launch its in-depth coverage the week of the Republican rules committee meetings in Cleveland, ramping up over the weekend leading into the opening gavel on Monday, July 18. The cable network will offer 20 hours of live reporting each day the Republican and Democratic conventions are in session, NBC said, beginning with live broadcasts of Morning Joe through primetime and late-night coverage led by Rachel Maddow, Brian Williams and Chris Matthews. Todd will anchor MTP Daily from live locations outside the convention halls at 5 p.m. ET on MSNBC, followed by Chris Hayes at 6 p.m. ET. Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow will anchor MSNBC's primetime coverage from New York, with Chris Matthews live inside the convention hall. Matthews will anchor late-night coverage until 2 a.m. ET. NBC News will also have more than 45 anchors, correspondents and reporters throughout both conventions, with NBCNews.com and social media platforms providing nonstop reporting and analysis. Tom Brokaw will also contribute to NBC's coverage across both networks and online. Additional noteworthy anchors and correspondents on the ground will include Peter Alexander, Jose Díaz-Balart, Stephanie Gosk, Gabe Gutierrez, Chris Jansing, Hallie Jackson, Tamron Hall, Kasie Hunt, Andrea Mitchell, Kelly O'Donnell, Lawrence O'Donnell, Cal Perry, Jacob Rascon, Joy Reid, Thomas Roberts, Stephanie Ruhle, Jacob Soboroff, Kate Snow, Katy Tur and Kristen Welker. Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schmidt, Ben Ginsberg, Hugh Hewitt, Mike Murphy and Eugene Robinson will all contribute to coverage either from the convention host cities or elsewhere in the country. NBC will also have an "Election Confessions" voting booth at both conventions for visitors to anonymously disclose their private thoughts about the 2016 presidential election. The broadcast networks usually dedicate just one primetime hour on three of the four nights of the conventions. With entertainment schedules sagging in a fractured media environment, all were weighing whether to expand coverage beyond that when it looked like there would be a brokered convention on the Republican side. But cable news, which has seen record ratings during the volatile 2016 presidential campaigns and primary debates, is gearing up to devote significant resources and airtime to the conventions. Fox News will have several programs originating from the conventions, including Bret Baier's Special Report and Megyn Kelly's The Kelly File. CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker has said the network will cover the conventions gavel-to-gavel. And news divisions won't simply be covering the happenings inside the convention halls. Protests are expected at both conventions. Supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders have vowed to disrupt the Democratic convention and protesters continue to amass at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's campaign stops where supporters have clashed -- at times violently -- with Trump dissenters. So the networks could actually have a news event on their hands. "I think the people we'll send are going to have more to do than they did in recent times," CBS News president David Rhodes told The Hollywood Reporter recently. (Hollywood Reporter)

CNN Debate Turns Ugly When A Former NYPD Detective Says Black People Are 'Prone To Criminality'! If you don't have this conversation the right way, things will never change. On Monday morning, Chris Cuomo was hosting CNN's New Day when he had three guests on, including former NYPD detective Harry Houck and CNN commentator and social activist Marc Lamont Hill. The panel started off well enough, debating possible solutions surrounding recent issues of police killing black men, and cops being shot by disgruntled, deranged individuals. But things went off the rails HARD when Houck dropped a very unwelcome tidbit about the "disparities of blacks and whites in jails," saying that he had stats that backed up how black people are far more likely to commit violent crimes than white people. Houck said, disgustingly: "That's why there are more blacks in jail than there are whites. They turn it around -- the racial demagogues out there -- turn it around that the blacks are being picked on." Uh-oh. Hill started by calmly asking Houck to clarify the statement -- surely, the former NYPD detective couldn't have meant what it sounded like he meant, right?! "You think black people are prone to criminality? You don't mean to say that. I'm going to give you a chance to correct [yourself]. You don't mean that black people are prone to criminality." But tensions rose immediately, and Hill laid it all out there: "Harry just went on national TV and said black people are prone to criminality!" Houck's response to that was distressing, to say the least: "Well, they are!" Yikes!!! (Perez Hilton)
