Looking swell! Candice Swanepoel is so proud of her blossoming pregnant body that she's got a name for stunningly curvaceous parts -- she calls them her "lady lumps!" The Victoria's Secret model left little to the imagination on Monday, July 11, when she took to Instagram to showcase her impressive curves, revealing her bump and her growing cleavage in a super-sexy shot. Captioned simply "Lady lumps" the photograph shows her bronzed torso, cleverly displaying her beautiful pregnant form as she wears a peach colored dressing gown, tied loosely around her ribs, and flowing open to reveal her belly. This will be the 27-year-old model's first baby with her longtime love, fiancee Hermann Nicoli. The excited model has been proudly showing off a number of photographs of her rapidly changing pregnant body. Last month she shared an artsy black-and-white photograph of herself and her growing belly, standing in the middle of a forest, her white maxi skirt pulled down beneath her bump, and a tiny crop top worn above it. In May she revealed the sex of her unborn baby in another cute Instagram pic. "My Not so little boy," she captioned a photograph of her naked pregnancy bump. (US Weekly)

Ooo what's this then? Sienna Miller has been seen cozying up with film director Bennett Miller at Wimbledon, sparking rumors of a relationship. Sienna Miller, 35, worked with 49-year-old director Bennett Miller on the 2014 film Foxcatcher, and it seems the pair have made quite the impression on one another. Spotted together at Wimbledon on two separate occasions, the ex-colleagues could be seen cuddling up, with Sienna resting her head on the handsome Bennett's shoulder as they watched a game. Pros: If they get married, she won't have to bother with the arduous paperwork of changing her last name. Cons: He'll be off the market. Are we getting too ahead of ourselves? Either way, we're liking this matching. (British Glamour)

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk didn't have a heated argument that drove her to tears ... she just needed some Claritin ... according to people who know them, anyway. The longtime couple made headlines at Wimbledon when TV cameras caught them having what appeared to be a lovers' spat. Irina was wiping away a tear, and Bradley seemed pissed. But sources close to the couple tell us the supermodel was simply battling allergies. As for Bradley's apparent side-eye? We're told he was actually talking to retired tennis star Stefan Edberg, who was sitting next to Irina. TV cameras didn't show Edberg, which made it seem like Bradley was peeved at Irina. Look, who knows -- it was a very brief shot, anyway -- but for what it's worth ... the couple definitely looked happier later in the match. (TMZ)

Chrissy Teigen Comes to Kristin Cavallari's Defense to Battle Internet Mom Shaming. Chrissy Teigen is taking a stand as a mother on behalf of a fellow famous mommy. Just three months after giving birth to her daughter Luna Simone, the television host has already battled non-stop backlash from the Internet over her parenting decisions, beginning with the time she went to dinner with her husband John Legend after giving birth. Fortunately, the vocal star has not shied away from responding to the senseless commentary and this time, she lent her voice in defense of another famous parent, Kristin Cavallari. The Laguna Beach star, who shares three children with husband and football pro Jay Cutler, ignited digital controversy after sharing a photo of her two sons sporting matching swim trunks on the beach alongside their father. While the image was meant to celebrate Independence Day, followers ignored the sentiment and instead accused the star of starving her children. "Seeing pictures of your boys and how they look is a bit shocking to see! I know you cook healthy but to see the bones just doesn't seem normal, sorry!" read one comment. The 29-year-old was not about to let the false claims fly. "Yep, I starve my children. Just blocked the most people I've ever blocked in my entire life. Happy 4th hahaha," Cavallari wrote in a comment. After E! News reported on the brewing social media attack and how it had crossed the line, Teigen stepped in to express her own uncensored concern over the remarks. "I will never know why parents criticize others so harshly, knowing they'd go insane if they were on the receiving end ALLTHETIME," she wrote on Twitter. "NO parent out there thinks they're perfect. I loathe these s--thead commenters. Who would want to make someone feel horrible for fun?" she continued. "Anyway, love you @KristinCav and screw everyone's bored ass!" Cavallari appreciated the well wishes. "lol thx girl love u and ur little girl is adorable," she replied Tuesday morning. As is typical of a longtime celebrity, this is not the first time Cavallari has navigated controversy. In 2014, the MTV star revealed she had decided not to vaccinate her two sons at the time -- a decision that launched immediate negative public reaction. She later appeared on Watch What Happens Live to defend the decision. "At the end of the day, I'm just a mom," she explained. "I'm trying to make the best decision for my kid." (Eonline)

Lamar Odom Is Not Homeless, Remains "Focused and Determined" on His Health and Children. Don't believe everything you read when it comes to Lamar Odom. As a new week began, some fans started to feel concerned when reports surfaced claiming that the former Los Angeles Lakers star was homeless. Multiple sources, however, quickly told E! News that it's just not the case. "Lamar's not homeless. He has a nice place in California," a source close to Lamar shared with E! News. "It's just a lie." Another insider said that he is renting a home near Sherman Oaks and moved out of the Calabasas rental a month ago. "It was always a temporary agreement that he live there until he gets back on his feet," our insider added. E! News has also learned that Lamar is spending a lot of time with his children. He is also participating in an outpatient program that includes counseling and professional support to help him remain on the right track. "He is doing well," our source shared. "He is determined to stay on the straight and narrow [path] and wants to be the best father he can possibly be and he is doing the work required to achieve that." Our source added, "It is not easy, but he is focused and determined." Just last week, Lamar also responded to Khloe Kardashian's divorce filing where he cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split. He also requested that the judge deny the court's ability to award Khloe with spousal support. Ultimately, finding romance isn't exactly on the top of his do-list. Instead, he remains grateful for the progress he has made since his highly publicized health scare. "His priorities are his children and his health," our source added. (Eonline)

Ariel Winter blasted an L.A. body shop for taking months to repair her wrecked G-Wagon, but the shop's claiming she's just being a snotty celeb. Ariel posted a scathing review of Paulee's Body Shop on her Instagram Monday ... warning her 2 million followers never to do business with them because the service is "incredibly rude [and] slow" and says the people are "unprofessional [and] intolerable." She says it took 4 months to fix her car. Ariel gave Paulee a minus 10 rating. Eric, the manager at Paulee's, begs to differ, telling us the car was only there for 2 months, and it needed $75k in repairs because it's a limited edition Benz and parts were hard to come by. Eric says he still has the car because Ariel hasn't paid. It looks like he wants more than the $75k ... Eric wants Ariel to take down her rant against the shop. (TMZ)

A sculpture of a raccoon next to a trash can brimming with brightly colored rubbish for sale at a prestigious Hamptons art show drew attention for the wrong reasons this weekend. While the piece, by artist Will Kurtz, was displayed with an $8,000 price tag at Art Southampton, the show's cleaners didn't realize it was art and threw it out with the trash right before the opening of the splashy VIP preview. Kurtz's work "Keep America Great Again" had been selected to appear in the show by actress Brooke Shields, who teamed up with the New York Academy of Art's David Kratz to curate "Call of the Wild," an animal-focused exhibit of Academy graduates as part of Art Southampton. But when Shields and artist Kurtz showed up for the VIP preview Thursday at Nova's Ark Project, the artwork trash can had been emptied. The actress and the artist were forced to go rummaging in the real trash to recover his valuable work. Nick Korniloff, founder and owner of Art Southampton, told Page Six, "We had works from Warhol to Banksy on display this weekend. We have a very aggressive cleanup crew because we like to keep the event pristine. They are trained to recognize and not take out any art, but unfortunately they looked at a trash can, and threw the contents away. The raccoon was left standing there next to an empty can. "But, somewhat fortunately, we have a policy that everything goes in clear plastic bags -- in case anything valuable gets thrown away -- and Brooke and Will were able to go to where the overnight trash had been left, locate the missing part of the artwork, and recurate the work. It was down to the wire, but the work was reassembled just in time for the VIP preview." Guests at the fair included Bobby Flay, Howard Lorber, Audrey Gruss, Jules Feiffer, Bridgette Morphew and Dorothy Lichtenstein. Other artists showing included Adrien Brody, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Roy Lichtenstein and "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary, who put on a photography show called "Irreconcilable Images." We're told sales topped six figures. (Page Six)

Wendy Williams has been getting schooled by Roland Martin after backlash she received for criticizing historically black schools and the NAACP. "Over the past few days, if you don't know, I've been facing some really harsh criticism from our viewers and other people in the media because of my comments regarding racism," she said on her show Monday. "One of my biggest critics was a journalist and activist Roland Martin, who I've known for several years, but he did what he thought he had to do." The daytime talk diva caught major flak when she critiqued Jesse Williams' "poignant" BET Awards acceptance speech on racism. "[His] speech was very poignant. On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There's the NAACP," she told her silent audience. Chevrolet reportedly pulled out of an exclusive deal with Williams over the comments. Blogger B. Scott reported: "She's been sobbing all week over the loss." Meanwhile, Martin gave her a tongue lashing on his TV One show, referring to her comments as "silly" and suggesting she "shut the hell up .?.?. You do realize that the NAACP was founded by a mix of folks that were black and white. Do you realize that the first president of the NAACP .?.?. was white?" he asked. Williams invited Martin on her show following "a very interesting conversation .?.?. regarding race," she said. "[Martin's] educated me quite a bit, and I hope [he] can do the same for all of us, and we can begin to heal and stop." (Page Six)

Lamar Odom was taken off a Delta flight Monday night after getting wasted in the airport lounge and vomiting on the plane ... TMZ has learned. Lamar went to the Delta lounge at LAX before boarding a red-eye for NYC, and according to eyewitnesses was pounding down beers and whisky. By the time he got on the flight, we're told he was wasted. Two passengers in first class tell TMZ, Lamar went to 4B and sat down, but as the plane was about to pull back he bolted for the front, threw up in the galley and then walked in the bathroom and with the door open threw up again. When he came out of the bathroom, we're told he had vomit on his clothes. The passengers tell us the flight attendants "gently" escorted Lamar off the plane, and a cleaning crew came on board to deal with the mess. The flight attendants put Lamar's carry-on belongings in a plastic bag and removed them from the plane. Ten minutes later, Lamar suddenly reappeared and walked down the aisle -- with vomit still on his sweatpants -- and took his seat again. Minutes later, we're told Lamar got up and went back to the bathroom, using the heads of people in their seats to steady his balance. One of the passengers told the flight attendant, "Don't you know his history? I don't want a dead body at 30,000 feet." Lamar was again removed from the plane and the flight took off, arriving to NYC 40 minutes late. (TMZ)

Matthew Morrison's refusing to pay his acting coach $182k ... claiming in a new lawsuit he never struck a ludicrous deal with the guy. The former "Glee" star denies ever verbally agreeing to pay Peter Mattaliano 2.5% of his acting salary from any TV or movie roles. Matthew says Peter is demanding "this outrageous figure based upon a purported oral agreement" in May 2011. Matthew denies ever agreeing to that deal, and says he actually did pay Peter generously in excess of what acting coaches are normally paid ... although he doesn't say a specific amount. On top of asking the court to wipe out the amount, Matthew's suing Peter for using his name and images on a website. (TMZ)

Country Star Craig Morgan's 19-Year-Old Son Jerry Greer Found Dead. The son of country star Craig Morgan and Karen Greer, Jerry Greer, was found dead, E! News confirms. Greer was reported missing earlier Monday following a boating accident on Kentucky Lake in Humphreys County, Tenn. The teen's dead body was found in the water after a fleet of emergency responders had been searching for the 19-year-old since he was reported missing Sunday evening. "It is with deep sadness that I am confirming the passing of Jerry Greer (19), son of country music entertainer Craig Morgan and wife Karen Greer," the family's rep tells E! News. "The Humphreys County Sheriff's Department recovered his body this evening after a search that began Sunday following a boating accident on Kentucky Lake in Tennessee. A 2016 graduate of Dickson County High School, Jerry planned to play football for Marshall University in the fall. "The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and requests prayers at this time as they privately mourn this terrible loss. Jerry is survived by parents Craig and Karen Greer, sister Aly Beaird and brother-in-law Ryan Beaird, brother Kyle Greer and fiance Chelsea Rogers and brother Wyatt Greer. Funeral arrangements are pending." E! News previously reported that Jerry and another man were reportedly tubing when they were thrown from the tube. The unidentified man resurfaced, but Jerry, who was wearing a life vest, did not. Rob Edwards, Chief Deputy from the Humphreys County Sheriffs Office, told E! News that the investigation was ongoing earlier Monday. "Jerry and another man were on a raft being pulled by a boat. They were thrown from the raft and Jerry never resurfaced. He was wearing a life jacket at the time but went under. We are currently searching for him with several boats. We will update you once we know more," he says in the statement. "The Tennessee Wildlife Recourses Agency is conducting the investigation as to what happened that led up to these events." Our sincerest condolences go out to the Greer family during this difficult time. (Eonline)

Taylor Swift Visits Children in Australian Hospital While Tom Hiddleston Heads to Work. These kids just got a major surprise thanks to a visit from Taylor Swift. The Grammy-winning songstress, who is currently traveling in Australia with new beau Tom Hiddleston, spent Tuesday evening surrounded by children at Lady Cliento Children's Hospital in South Brisbane. According to social media, the kids were just as happy to see the "Blank Space" star. "Thank you Taylor Swift for dropping by the Lady Cliento Children's Hospital this afternoon to give our patients and families a special surprise they'll never forget," the hospital's Facebook page read. "They'll never 'shake off' the memories you made tonight." The star-studded visit was coordinated by the Starlight Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization aimed at supporting teenagers through their sicknesses. No surprise visit from Swift would be complete without a few selfies. "Thank you, Sam, for sharing this great pic of you and Taylor Swift with us," the hospital captioned a photo of one patient posed with Taylor. "We hear you made quite the impression!" While Taylor spent four hours at the private visit, Hiddleston headed off to work. The actor is currently filming Thor: Ragnarok, for which he has reprised his role as Loki in the popular franchise. During their month of dating, the couple has wasted no time taking their romance international, jetting off to Italy, Hiddleston's native England, the United States and now Australia. According to a source, Swift "loves traveling with Tom," who "makes her feel so safe." In fact, it seems their time together has been nothing short of smooth sailing. "They are the real deal," the source said. "They laugh and travel well together. These past few weeks, they have learned many things about each other...she is getting very attached." Plus, don't let their brief courtship fool you -- though it has only been about four weeks since the world first saw their surprising smooch on the rocks in Rhode Island, Swift can see a future with Tom at her side. "This is the kind of a man she would want to marry," the source said. "She has said he would make a great dad. They have talked about what they want in the future and kids are something that they would both like down the line. They have very real and serious conversations about life." (Eonline)

A regular life in unusual circumstances. Larry Birkhead discusses his efforts to provide a down-to-earth upbringing for Dannielynn Birkhead, his daughter with the late Anna Nicole Smith, in the Tuesday, July 12, episode of the Steve Harvey Show. The syndicated chat show's preview clip features the host asking Larry, 43, to reveal what Dannielynn, 9, knows about her mom. Smith (nee Vickie Lynn Hogan) gave birth to their daughter on September 7, 2006, and died five months later of a drug overdose at age 39. The reality TV personality and Playboy model's son, Daniel, passed away from an accidental overdose at age 20 three days after Dannielynn's birth. "She knows that her mom was famous and that people want to know about her," Larry tells Harvey, 59, of Dannielynn. "So it's different for my daughter because it's nothing for her to go past and see a story in the checkout stands on the cover of magazines of her mom or herself or us or whatever. And it's a little different than your normal situation, but I make it as normal as I can." The episode also includes Larry taking cameras on a tour of their Louisville, Kentucky, home for a sense of the pair's daily routine. "Things could have turned out a lot different, and I think in a sad tale, this is kind of the happiest ending that you could have," the Millionaire Matchmaker alum continues. Steve Harvey Show airs in nationwide syndication daily. (US Weekly)

Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 30th birthday with 70 guests in Greece, but insisted to us that reports of the fun-filled night ending with her throwing boyfriend Egor Tarabasov's phone into the sea were exaggerated. Sources told us Tarabasov, whom Lohan pals insist is her "boyfriend" despite engagement rumors, hosted the bash at Chinawhite at Rakkan Mykonos and flew in friends and family including Lindsay's dad, Michael, and sister Ali. A birthday video tribute included shout-outs from mom Dina Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes. "It was an event designed from the heart with love and respect in mind," mused a guest. But a report in UK newspaper The Sun said any respect was shattered when Lohan became upset by a text she saw on Tarabasov's phone and then threw his cell into the sea. A screaming match ensued and Lohan stormed out after security stepped in. But Lohan told Page Six, "It had to do with my friend throwing his phone case in the water as a joke .?.?. because [guests] were making fun of it .?.?. People said I personally threw [the] phone, but it's all not true. It's a total fabricated lie!" A guest at the bash added, "Egor's a wonderful, caring man who personally orchestrated the festivities," which ended with fireworks above the beach club. Either way, Lohan posted afterward on Instagram: "Falling in love in [sic] exhausting .?.?. Especially when you're the older woman and have already seen it all .?.?. #love is the most important thing at the end of the day #serenity." (Page Six)

When Page Six called Ramona Singer about hair extension brand Lux Beauty Club cutting ties with the "Real Housewife" over her "diva behavior," Singer claimed that it was actually she who had dumped the company because they were "undercapitalized" -- or, in less technical terms, "broke." But company founder Tori Flores told us that Singer got it wrong, again. "I'm not sure that Ramona understands, but as a startup it's called boot-strapping," sniffed Flores, explaining that far from being short of cash, the company's investing as much of its income as possible into developing the company, rather than splashing out on unnecessary expenses -- like celebrity endorsements.

Martha Stewart isn't impressed by millennials, who she says need to stop living with their parents and find some "initiative." The domestic diva, 74, didn't mince her words in a new interview with Luxury Listings. "I think every business is trying to target millennials. But who are millennials?" she said. "Now we are finding out that they are living with their parents. They don't have the initiative to go out and find a little apartment and grow a tomato plant on the terrace." She continued, "I understand the plight of younger people .?.?. The economic circumstances out there are very grim. But you have to work for it. You have to strive for it. You have to go after it." Stewart added, "I got married at 19, and I immediately got an apartment and I fixed it up. I was very proud of everything I did. I got the furniture at auctions for pennies." She said that she was encouraged by restaurateur David Chang to focus on educating young people during a recent dinner at her Bedford, NY, farm. "David Chang kept saying, 'Martha, you know so much and the millennials have to know this stuff! .?.?. They don't know how to grow spinach.'" (Page Six)

Some people give Mom flowers and jewelry, but Ne-Yo gives homes. TMZ has learned the singer just handed over a $300k townhouse in Mableton, Georgia to his mother, Harriet Loraine Burts. It's not the first crib he's gifted to dear ole mom. She already has a $550k mansion in nearby Alpharetta ... which Ne-Yo bought in 2012. The Mableton home is smaller -- only 3 bedrooms compared to 6 in the Alpharetta pad -- but it's closer to Atlanta. Ne-Yo's becoming ATL's min-Donald Trump, as real estate goes anyway -- he dropped $1 mil last year for a downtown ATL condo for his baby mama and 2 kids. (TMZ)

The first black woman to be crowned Miss Alabama feels no remorse for the families of the 5 Dallas cops who were assassinated ... and she thinks their killer is a "martyr." Kalyn Chapman James, Miss Alabama from 1993, posted a rambling and tearful video in which she's clearly torn about Micah X. Johnson. She repeatedly says she does NOT condone violence, but also says "something has to be done" about the deaths of black men at the hands of police officers. In full tears, she claims she's not the only one who feels this way. James was a top 10 finalist for Miss America in 1994. (TMZ)

Tony Robbins insisted on 'GMA' Monday that no one was injured when they walked on hot coals during one of his seminars ... but that's certainly not the way it sounds from the 911 calls. TMZ has obtained tape of several 911 calls, in which people on scene describe what they see. A woman, who says she's a security dispatch officer at the convention center where Robbins held the fire walk, described 3 injured people and "very bad burns." Another caller said her husband and others were burned and they needed more ambulances. Tony claimed on the morning show no one was really injured, and brushed off the complaints as nothing more than blisters. According to initial reports, more than 30 people were burned by walking on the coals, and 5 were hospitalized. (TMZ)

The co-founder of a product featured on "Shark Tank" is in serious trouble after he was busted for allegedly pulling a gun on someone outside his home. Burbank police tell TMZ ... Mike Barzman -- who pitched "Invisiplug" in season 5 -- went off the rails earlier this month on a man smoking in front of his house. We're told Mike got into a heated argument over the ciggy, and pulled out a gun threatening to kill the man. We're told cops arrived at his home the next day and recovered a semi-automatic handgun. Barzman was arrested for felony assault with a firearm. He posted $50k bail the next day. Barzman's attorney, Gregory Brenner, says his client did have an unloaded gun on him ... but never pointed it at the smoker and never threatened him. In fact, he says Barzman is the one who felt threatened. (TMZ)

This Weather Reporter Packed Her Entire Forecast With Ghostbusters Puns. Everyone is getting excited for the release of the Ghostbusters reboot coming up on Friday, but no one is as enthused as this spunky journalist from the U.K. Sian Welby is the meteorologist for U.K.'s Channel 5, and she utilized her weather report on Monday for something more than just the incoming rain -- filling it entirely with Ghostbusters pun after Ghostbusters pun. Yes, the silly blonde -- who has done similar forecasts surrounding Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice -- somehow managed to slip in more than a dozen nods to the film without ever skipping a beat. Some of the funny phrases she used included: "Slimer 'fraid you'll need your parka today," and, "You might want to hold your plans until this bad weather ghosts away." She even slipped in, "If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? The met office." Our favorite, however, might be when she said, "So have an umbrella handy as you'll definitely get your Hemsworth of rain in the evening," referencing Chris Hemsworth who makes an appearance in the film. And don't forget, Ghostbusters hits theaters this Friday. (Eonline)

While You Track Pokemon, Pokemon Go Tracks You: Inside the Game's Backlash. Gotta catch 'em all? There's a price to pay. Pokemon Go has completely taken over the world, but slowly but surely people are starting to realize that not all is as it seems with the beloved mobile game. Sure, people have gotten injured and charged with armed robbery while playing the game, but that's not what's turning people off. It turns out that deliberately giving the game access to your location and other information -- GPS is the basis of the game -- means people are also giving up a ton of personal data. When a user downloads and plays the game, he/she is giving the company behind Pokemon Go, Niantic, the right to share the data it collects to third parties, including law enforcement and other buyers. Although companies of other mobile apps have made money off of this type of thing, it's the massive amount of users playing Pokemon Go that is raising eyebrows everywhere. To play the game, a player must either log in with an existing Google account or create a username on the "Pokemon Trainer Club." If a player chooses the former, Niantic can technically access their Google drives, emails, search history and more. In response to the worry and backlash that has since plagued the game since users found out this information, Niantic and the Pokemon Company released a statement that explained they're only accessing players' usernames and email addresses, "and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected." Additionally, the companies said, "Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokemon Go or Niantic." Niantic has said it has been working on a fix for the privacy issue, and Google will automatically downgrade the permissions for Pokemon Go. Ideally this means players will soon be able to catch a Charmander without giving up their private information. (Eonline)

Monsters of Folk, She & Him Reunite On Stage in Los Angeles. It was a night for old friends to reconnect on Sunday when M. Ward shared the stage with his bandmates in two of his side projects: Monsters of Folk and She & Him. Singer/songwriter Ward was opening for Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson at the Hollywood Bowl when he reconnected for the first time since 2010 with his Monsters mates: My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Conor Oberst. As first reported by Consequence of Sound, the mini-reunion (minus fourth member producer Mike Mogis) included three songs, Ward's "Vincent O'Brien" and "To Save Me" and "Whole Lotta Losin" from the Monsters' self-titled 2009 debut.

Aerosmith Bassist Tom Hamilton Says Joe Perry is Doing 'Better Than Feared'. While it's unknown if Joe Perry will join his Hollywood Vampires mates on stage during a show in Kettering, Ohio, on Tuesday night following a health scare on Sunday at Coney Island Amphitheater in Brooklyn, Perry's Aerosmith bandmate Tom Hamilton says his old friend is doing okay. After Perry staggered off the stage at Sunday's show, no information has been revealed about what is ailing the 65-year-old guitarist. On Monday, Aerosmith bassist Hamilton tweeted that Perry "seems to be better than we all first feared. Here's hoping he's back on stage soon, doing what he loves to do!" A spokesperson for the Vampires has not provided an update on Perry's condition, though NBC reported that the guitarist remained in stable condition in a New York hospital on Monday. In his absence, the Vampires canceled a planned appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night, even as singer Alice Cooper confirmed that Tuesday night's (July 12) show would go on as planned. Best wishes continued to pour in for the rock legend, including supportive tweets from Queen guitarist Brian May and the members of Def Leppard. (Billboard)

Universal Music Australia, Foxtel Reach 'Landmark Deal' on Music Videos. Music videos from Universal Music Australia's stable of artists will return to Foxtel's music channels from next month after both parties struck a new content partnership. UMA and Foxtel reached an impasse last November, reportedly in a dispute around artist royalty payments. Though neither side publicly discussed the matter, videos from UMA-affiliated artists such as Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Drake and 5 Seconds of Summer have been conspicuously absent from the Australian pay-TV operator's four contemporary music channels: [V] HITS, MAX, Foxtel Smooth and CMC. That will all change from Aug. 1, when the new arrangement becomes active. "We are very pleased to achieve this landmark deal with Universal Music and my thanks to George Ash and his team for working to a satisfactory resolution," Brian Walsh, Foxtel executive director of Television, said in a statement. "The finalization of this deal sets us up to revitalize our full suite of music channels moving forward."

Drake and Kungs Battle For U.K. Singles Chart Crown, Biffy Clyro Charging to Albums Summit. Biffy Clyro's Ellipsis (14th Floor) has built a near-unbeatable lead in the race to the U.K. albums chart crown. The Scottish band's seventh LP is literally bullying its way to the top. At the mid-point of the chart cycle, Ellipsis is outselling the top five combined, according to the Official Charts Company. Biffy's last studio album, 2013's Opposites, was their first to reach the summit and, based on mid-week sales data, the new release "looks to be a dead cert" to do the same, the OCC notes. The rest of the top five has a strong Glastonbury Festival theme with headliners Adele(25 is at No. 2 via XL), Coldplay (A Head Full of Dreams at No. 4 via Parlophone) and performers ELO (All Over The World at No. 5 via Epic) all appearing. Rick Astley's former chart-topper 50 (BMG) is at No. 3 on the Official Chart Update. The Avalanches' comeback album Wildflower (XL) is poised for a top 10 debut; it's at No. 6 on the mid-week chart. Another enigmatic electronic act, Aphex Twin, is currently at No. 8 with his Cheetah EP (Warp), which would equal the British performer's personal chart best. The chase for the U.K. singles chart crown is much less processional. Drake's "One Dance" (Cash Money/Republic Records) is on top of the Official Chart Update by just 2,000 combined sales over Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners' "This Girl" (3 Beat). Drake's hit has already led the singles survey for 13 weeks, making it the third-longest consecutive reign in the country's chart history. Chainsmokers is close behind in third place on the Chart Update with "Don't Let Me Down" (Disruptor), while Drake and Rihanna's "Too Good" comes in a No. 4, and Calvin and Rihanna's "This Is What You Came" (Columbia) is at No. 5.

Blink-182 Answers the Call with 'Bored to Death' Performance on 'Late Show'. No time to prep. No Tom DeLonge. No problem. The latest incarnation of Blink-182 stepped into the void created by Joe Perry's health scare to make the best of an impromptu late night TV slot. The veteran punk rockers were a last-moment addition to Monday night's Late Show with Stephen Colbert. And they didn't miss a beat, delivering a live performance of new single "Bored to Death." Blink-182 stepped up for Colbert and Co. when Hollywood Vampires canceled their planned performance following Perry's on-stage collapse Sunday night in Brooklyn. "Bored to Death" is lifted from California, Blink-182's seventh album and its first featuring vocalist/guitarist Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba after founding member Tom DeLonge left the band. The album has opened at No. 1 in the U.S. and U.K. (its first in that market). "Bored to Death" hit No. 1 on the Alternative Songs chart dated July 9, marking the act's first No. 1 on the survey since 2004. Tour dates kick off July 21 in San Diego. (Billboard)

Red Hot Chili Peppers Asked to Autograph Metallica Items. "We tried to explain to them that we weren't Metallica but they insisted that we sign anyway." Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea says he ended up autographing some Metallica items following a mix-up at an airport in Belarus.

Loving Trailer Shows Fight For Interracial Marriage. The Loving trailer couldn't have come at a more timely moment. The upcoming film from director Jeff Nichols tells the real-life story of Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), an interracial couple whose fight for the right to marry became the landmark 1960s Supreme Court case known as Loving v. Virginia. Richard, a white man, and his black wife Mildred, were arrested in 1959 and were eventually sentenced to a year in prison for their interracial marriage. At the time, it was illegal for an interracial couple to marry out of state and return to live in Virginia. The Supreme Court ruled in the Lovings' favor in 1967 with the decision also ending all race-based marriage restrictions in the U.S. Nick Kroll co-stars in the drama as the Lovings' attorney Bernie Cohen. "Is there anything you'd me like to say to the Supreme Court justices of the United States," Cohen is seen asking Richard in the trailer. "Yeah," Richard says. "Tell the judge I love my wife." The Loving case was used in the more recent fight for same-sex marriage. Not long before she passed away in 2008, Mildred Loving released a statement in support of gay marriage. Loving immediately picked up awards season buzz when it premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival. The film will be released in selected theaters on Nov. 4 followed by a wider rollout later in the month. (Eonline)

Bryan Cranston, Stephen Colbert Explore Acting Without Any Subtlety on 'Late Show'. "I think the test of a great actor is, can you play the opposite? A poorly written character that just kind of walks in and awkwardly announces his entire backstory?" Bryan Cranston loves playing characters who are subtle in revealing themselves to the audience, he told Stephen Colbert on Monday night. The Late Show host agreed, but noted, "I think the test of a great actor is, can you play the opposite? A poorly written character that just kind of walks in and awkwardly announces his entire backstory?" The Infiltrator actor was put to the test with a segment called "Too Much Exposition Theater," in which he rocked a top hat, an eye patch and an elaborate mustache, and explained a ton about his character with an accent during a "casual but very informative chat" with Colbert.

The Incredible Rise of Anna Kendrick: From Indie Darling to Full-Blown Blockbuster Star. One glance at a movie theater marquee this summer and a person will see many things. Liam Hemsworth fighting off an alien invasion. Tarzan flying across the jungle. Zac Efron looking for a wedding date. And among all that, there's Anna Kendrick. She hit theaters this weekend in all her bad girl glory, drinking and smoking and swearing up a storm. She plays the totally wacky Alice, who joins onscreen BFF Aubrey Plaza for the must vulgar Hawaii weekend in cinematic history in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. And somehow, with all the F-bombs and permanent sloshed-ness, Kendrick seems completely natural in this R-rated world. Yes, the same actress who brought the world "Cups." And that's because Anna Kendrick is a God d--n chameleon. She got her start at the tender age of...well, let's just say very young...in musical theater. She performed the show Cabaret onstage at Carnegie Hall at the tender age of 13, and her first real onscreen gig was starring in the bizarre cult classic (and musical) Camp in 2003. As the saying goes: Once a musical theater nerd, always a musical theater nerd, right? We still find her belting out songs whenever possible -- like the time last month that she sang her way through an entire love story on The Late Late Show With James Corden -- and it probably won't be long before she finds her way to a Broadway stage. (Is Hamilton still looking for new cast members? Consider this the unofficial start to our petition.) But regardless of how full her current theater resume is, it's mostly because of this theater nerdity (Is that a word? We just made it one. You're welcome, Anna.) And not in spite of it, that she has the star power that she does today. And that's all thanks to a little something we call range. But before we start waxing poetic on all of the actress' many variable talents, it's time to go back to the beginning of the career we know today. Most may not remember, but Kendrick first soared into stardom when she was cast alongside a little-known actor named George Clooney. The year was 2009 and the film was Up in the Air. It scored her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and international recognition. It's actually impossible to decide which is better. A Supporting Actress nom meant that Anna got to try her hand with the awards show circuit (and, more importantly, the awards show party circuit) and everything that comes with it. She fielded interview requests, she covered magazines, she generally yukked it up. That success was followed up by a series of small-to-medium parts in some very not small-to-medium movies: The Twilight saga for one, but also Seth Rogen's 50/50, Jake Gyllenhaal's End of Watch, and even that What to Expect When You're Expecting flick. And then, of course, came a little thing we like to call Pitch Perfect; the all-female musical that could. Pitch Perfect not only introduced many, many more people to the wide talents of Anna Kendrick, but it introduced studio heads to her box office power. As we now know, the flick earned itself a major cult following -- enough for a very successful soon-to-be-completed trilogy. It also introduced our favorite Bella to the power of a viral moment. Yep, we're talking about "Cups." Or, as the Pitch Perfect powers that be would prefer we call it, "When I'm Gone." It was probably the first time that a song born out of playing with Solo cups made it onto Spotify, and at the time of this writing the YouTube music video version has almost 300 million views. And thus began the reign of Viral Anna Kendrick. You probably know where this is going: Straight to Twitter. Kendrick's screen presence, classical training and ability to play just about every role possible may have gotten her some of her most impressive gigs, but it's her quick with and thumbs-to-the-keyboard persistence that made her a major movie star. While some celebs eschew social media, she embraces it -- and uses it to her every advantage. For years now she's been taking to Twitter to do everything from airing a random grievance, live-tweeting Grease! Live (or her own personal closet clean out) and even to just share her thoughts on California rolls with her now-5.2 million followers. Her tweets have earned her countless admirers, dozens of dedicated essays and thought-pieces, and now she's going for the big-time: A book deal. The tome, which is titled Scrappy Little Nobody and is due out this November, will cover, according to the publisher, anecdotes from her life, tales of her New England upbringing and inside stories from her experiences in Hollywood. In other words, it's going to be one giant, well-edited Twitter feed. Which brings us to the Anna Kendrick we know and love today; the A-lister who opens blockbusters and appears on every late show known to man. With her part opposite Zac Efron and big fat book advance she could sit back and rest on her laurels, but instead she's got herself quite a solid 2016 and 2017 lined up. We'll see her opposite Affleck and J.K. Simmons in this fall's thriller The Accountant, voicing a part in the huge animation flick Trolls, and finally dropping that much-anticipated Pitch Perfect 3. In other words, it's good to be Anna Kendrick. (Eonline)

Paul Allen's Vulcan Productions Partners on Short-Film Series to Encourage Voters. Vulcan and Show of Force, in partnership with FilmBuff, will produce a nonpartisan slate of 21 shorts dubbed 'We the Voters: 21 Films for the People.' Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Productions has teamed with production company Show of Force, in partnership with sales and distribution company FilmBuff, to produce the digital short-film series We the Voters: 21 Films for the People. We the Voters is described as "a nonpartisan digital slate of 21 short films designed to inform, inspire and activate voters nationwide with fresh perspectives on the subjects of democracy, elections and governance in the lead up to the 2016 elections." The films aim to "demystify how U.S. elections work and promote a call to action for Americans to make informed choices and seize the power of their vote." The films will feature several famous faces and digital influencers to be announced at a later date. They will be comprised of comedies, documentaries and animated shorts to be distributed across a range of platforms on Sept. 14, ahead of the presidential debates, and Oct. 12, for a final push at encouraging people to vote. The shorts will tackle questions including "Does one vote make a difference?", "Does money influence elections?", "How can we find balanced news sources?" and "Does protest make things better?" Viewers also will have access to a digital "voter toolkit" designed as a resource for understanding the issues at stake. "Any presidential election season invigorates the political landscape, but the 2016 election could be one of the most interesting and polarizing elections in our history," said Carole Tomko, general manager and creative director of Vulcan Productions. "Our goal is to create sharable, digestible and entertaining content that delivers the substance to educate voters around key issues surrounding the election so voters feel equipped to make informed decisions at the polls." All the films are currently in production, and partnerships with a number of top-tier digital media outlets will be announced before the project launches. "With so much at stake in the November election, all Americans need to know that their vote counts," said Jeff Dupre, principal at Show of Force. "We the Voters will entertain, educate and motivate people to make their mark and to fully participate in our democracy." A social media campaign will support digital distribution efforts, while advance teasers highlighting talent and stories will be available in the months ahead at WeTheVoters.com and on the We the Voters app. Meanwhile, PBS Learning Media will create educational materials and guides. This project comes on the heels of Vulcan's We the Economy, a collection of digital short films produced with Cinelan that features the work of Morgan Spurlock, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Adrian Grenier, Adam McKay, Patton Oswalt and more.

The Flash Season 3 First Look: Keiynan Lonsdale Finally Makes His Debut as Kid Flash (and Looks Epic!). FINALLY. The wait is over, fans of The Flash, as Kid Flash is finally set to make his debut on the CW hit series, and E! News has your first look at the epic costume. In the first photo from the upcoming third season, Kieynan Lonsdale gets to don a superhero suit of his own, suiting up as Kid Flash for the premier episode, "Flashpoint," airing on Oct. 4. Yes, after waiting almost an entire year since it was announced that Lonsdale would be joining the show in the key role of Wally West, fans' patience has been rewarded with the introduction of Kid Flash...along with an awesome costume, which definitely strikes a resemblance to the character's suit from the comics. While Wally was introduced as Iris' (Candice Patton) long-lost brother on the show, in the DC Comics, Wally was actually Iris' nephew, who eventually became Kid Flash. So yeah, this photo is a big deal. HUGE. "Just like when we met Grant [Gustin] for the first time, we instantly knew Keiynan embodied all the heart and courage of a hero," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement after Lonsdale was cast in the pivotal role. "We are so excited to be bringing this much-beloved character onto the show." In the season two finale, a devastated Barry (Gustin) made the rash decision to travel back in time and stop his mother's murder, completely changing the timeline as we know it, setting up season three to head in the direction of Flashpoint, the comic written by DC boss Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert. Gustin later confirmed that the show would be tackling Flashpoint's storyline, revealing on Twitter that the season three's premiere title would be "Flashpoint." So where does Kid Flash's suit rank in our gallery of the greatest superhero costumes on TV? The Flash returns Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. on the CW. (Eonline)

USA Delays Shooter Premiere After Dallas Sniper Attack. We're going to have to wait a little bit longer to see USA's new series, Shooter. E! News has confirmed that the network has decided to delay the premiere of the drama, whose title may give you some sense of what it's about, one week in the wake of the Dallas sniper attacks that left five police officers dead after a peaceful protest on July 7. The show, which stars Ryan Phillippe and Omar Epps, is based on the book Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter and the 2007 film starring Mark Wahlberg. It follows a highly-decorated ex-marine sniper (Phillippe) who jumps back into action to stop a plot to kill the President, only to find himself involved in a disastrous operation with ties to his past. It was originally set to debut Tuesday, July 19. "In light of recent tragic events and out of respect for the victims, their families and our viewers, we have decided to postpone the premiere date for the upcoming USA Network series Shooter to July 26," the network said in a statement. Shooter joins a sadly long list of shows whose schedules have changed after tragedies, including TNT's The Last Ship, which delayed its season three premiere after the Orlando night club tragedy, and USA's Mr. Robot, which postponed its season one finale last year because it featured a scene similar to the deaths of a journalist and a cameraman in Virginia. Shooter will now premiere Tuesday, July 26 at 10 p.m. on USA Network. (Eonline)

The Bachelorette Really Had a Thing for Horses and Heartbreak This Week. It's been a while, friends. And what an episode to come back to! Emotions were running high among JoJo and her team of boyfriends as they got to know Argentina, each other, the art of rap, some grapes, and one poor horse. It was the horse thing that really got to us. Horses were truly the theme of the night, but it wasn't just about riding them. There was also a long sequence of horse snuggling, during which we became more than uncomfortable. It's like a dog, JoJo said, and we wanted to shout out loud that we've never once wanted to carefully turn our dog onto its back, sit atop it, and caress its legs and belly. We hated that sentence, but that's exactly what the Argentinian cowboy did to his Argentinian horse before instructing JoJo and Alex to lay down against the horse and take a quick nap or something. Did the horse enjoy it? We will never know, but we hope so, because maybe that makes it better? We don't know. We feel weird about all of this, and we were already feeling weird about JoJo and Alex's one-on-one date. There wasn't a lick of chemistry to be found between them for the whole date, no matter how hard Alex tried to kiss JoJo with his Pringle duck lips or serenade her with the worst freestyle rap in history (which we have memorized: Yo yo, Jo Jo, gots ta go, to the liquor sto'). The gaucho and his horse could have probably enjoyed a happier marriage than these two could even dream of having, and that was painfully obvious throughout the entire date. When she finally sent him home, it was after 10 minutes of us begging her to do so. Bye Alex! Up next was Jordan, and his one-on-one involved no horses of which to speak. It did, however, involve grape stomping. JoJo and Jordan stomped on grapes with their bare feet, and then drank the result, and then made jokes about how their feet tasted. Yay! JoJo then asked Jordan about his family, and things took a turn for the intriguing: Jordan is really close with his oldest brother, Luke, but not close at all with the famous football player, Aaron. AKA, he barely speaks to the reason we were all paying attention to him from the very beginning. He didn't even think Aaron knew he was on the show at all, which is interesting. So we guess Aaron will not be making an appearance when JoJo joins Jordan for a hometown date next week, but we bet at least some of the drama between them will be there. Tonight's group date with James, Robbie, and Chase had the potential to be our favorite date of all time, and it ended up just being a tad depressing. Because of rain, JoJo canceled whatever fancy plans she had and just hung out with the guys in a hotel room, eating junk food and playing games. It would have looked fun as hell, if it weren't tinged with the stench of three guys competing with one another for the center of attention. They stuffed fries in their faces and played Truth or Dare, and of course Truth or Dare involved nudity. Unfortunately, James, who had previously been the least annoying of the three, tried a bit too hard, and it ended up being his downfall. After the junk food hotel time (and a group party on the bed while they watched the Brazillian version of The Bachelor), the guys got a bit of private time with JoJo, and she got a little bit of confrontation out of the way by asking Robbie about his most recent relationship. Only four months ago, he had broken up with his girlfriend of more than three years. It didn't sound like the greatest relationship in the world, but four months is a really short amount of time. (Anyone else just not the biggest fan of Robbie or is that just us?) JoJo also had a moment with James Taylor, and she told him she was everything she was looking for in a guy. It was quite the confidence boosting convo, which made her upcoming elimination of him all the more cruel. In the end, the rose went to hallway mooner Robbie, who had recently declared himself James' enemy, and we had a feeling James was done for. Luke's one-on-one, the final date of the night, was about as uneventful as you can get, date-wise. They had a perfectly fine time, riding yet another horse and shooting things, but once again, Luke just proved himself to be very nice and very unexciting, compared to the rest of the guys. And these are even some boring guys! We miss Chad, and we might even miss dopey Alex. At the rose ceremony, poor James Taylor was sent home, and he and JoJo cried together over it. Apparently nice girls keep dumping him and telling him he'll someday find a nice girl. He thanked her for thinking so highly of him, and left with most of his dignity still intact, which is impressive. Next week, it's hometown time, and we can't wait to spend a whole two hours playing a fun game of "wait which guy is that again?" The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Of Casseroles & Men: Vicki and Tamra Finally Have a Real Housewives of Orange County Sit Down. The Real Housewives of Orange County train is slowly but surely pulling out of the "Brooks Ayers faked his cancer" station. Thank goodness. Bravo's original Real Housewives series has been struggling to shake the ghost of Brooks and it's understandable because he was a central figure in Vicki Gunvalson's life and his cancer (or lack thereof) became a media firestorm. But the show must go on. Viewers got a glimmer of hope that there is life after Brooks in the third episode of season 11 when Vicki finally sat down with BFF (best frenemy forever at this point) Tamra Judge. But before all that happened, viewers were treated to Vicki and daughter Briana going on a fart and poop filled road trip, Briana's hospital stay, Tamra getting loose skin, Heather Dubrow shopping for an ice maker, Meghan King Edmonds giving herself IVF shots and newbie Kelly Dodd drinking her cold away. Kelly threw a beach party because sure, it's California. Everybody showed up -- including Vicki and her Brooks baggage (the baggage arrived in the form of her fur vest. A fur vest at the beach). The conversation between Vicki and Tamra at the beach just went around and around in circles. Vicki said she didn't lie about Brooks and she is the victim here. Tamra wasn't buying it. Vicki just wanted some gosh darn casseroles! "I feel like with what happened last year, I think that you guys -- you particularly -- should have really been there for me... I think you kind of turned a little bit on me... You didn't turn on me, you turned away from me when I really needed you. My relationship fell apart in front of my eyes," Vicki said. Tamra was quick to point out the stories changed and changed and that the women found it especially hard to believe that Vicki had no idea Brooks was lying about his treatment. "If you knew he was lying, it's like and you covered for him for whatever reason. Why wouldn't you just come to your friends and say, 'Sorry, I screwed up,'" Tamra asked. "We would all hug you and go, 'It's OK.'" Vicki really couldn't stop playing the victim in her conversation, but once Tamra saw a glimmer of hope that Vicki could possibly acknowledge that the other Housewives weren't the attackers here, she forgave Vicki. For now. "I think Vicki will never, ever admit that she knew he was faking. This is why Vicki has a hard time keeping friends and I think that because I understand who she is, I can let it go," Tamra said. Next up? Vicki's conversation with Shannon Beador. The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays, 9 p.m. on Bravo. (Eonline)

Not impressed! They're both Real Housewives, but Orange County's Heather DuBrow is not feeling the love for New Jersey's Teresa Giudice after what she views as an inappropriate response to her time in jail. Giudice, 44, was seen returning from her almost-year-long-stint in jail for fraud charges, on Sunday, July 10's episode of RHONJ. Despite being besieged by paparazzi, the reality star managed to sneak inside the house where she was welcomed home by her husband, Joe Giudice, before she burst into tears. Hugging her daughters, the mom-of-four revealed she'd been dreaming of that moment for the past 11-and-a-half months, before admitting she'd been "very naive" and insisting, "I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice." But according to DuBrow, Giudice's return wasn't tasteful. "She came back from prison talking a lot about yoga and her diet and I think a lot of people would like to hear about accountability and remorse,' the 47-year-old star of RHOC told Andy Cohen on Monday, July 11's Watch What Happens Live. DuBrow denied to Cohen that she's being harsh about Giudice (who she admits she doesn't actually know, and thinks is a good mother). "I think honestly, in the scheme of things, that was pretty benign," she added, of her comments. (US Weekly)

Move over, Chris Soules ... there's a new bachelor in town. The good news ... he's not after your girl. We've learned the Logo network is shooting a gay 'bachelor' show, and the prize is Robert Sepulveda Jr. He's an interior designer with Puerto Rican roots who now lives in ATL. In case you didn't notice, Robbie's in good shape. Our production sources say 13 male contestants have been cast and the show is filming at an L.A. mansion. The show is called "Finding Prince Charming" and it's hosted by Lance Bass. There might be a rub. We're told the show is not a spinoff of "The Bachelor," and it's unclear whether producers of the OG show might have a problem with the knockoff. No word on when the show will premiere on Logo.

'Catastrophe' Renewed for Two More Seasons. U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 has greenlit seasons three and four of the British comedy series, which was picked up by Amazon for the U.S. Double Catastrophe! British broadcaster Channel 4 has renewed its hit comedy Catastrophe-shown on Amazon in the U.S.-for not one, but two more seasons. Written by and starring Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, the show has won a raft of awards since launching in 2015, including two Royal Television Society gongs, a Rose d'Or and a BAFTA. It also picked up a Peabody nomination earlier this year. The third six-part season is now set to go into production in November for a premiere on Channel 4 in 2017. "We are thrilled to be making a third season of Catastrophe," said Horgan and Delaney. "Rob and Sharon are a blast to spend time with. And we're not talking about ourselves in the third person, we're talking about the characters. We're eager to breathe life back into Rob and Sharon. Okay, now we are talking about us." Phil Clarke, head of comedy at Channel 4, added: "I am thrilled to commission a third and fourth series of the multi award-winning Catastrophe. It's a welcome return for the brave, razor edged, excruciatingly honest and painfully funny portrayal of a modern, long-term relationship." An Avalon Television production, with co-producers Birdbath Productions and Merman, Catastrophe was commissioned by Phil Clarke and Nerys Evans for Channel 4. The series is directed by Ben Taylor (Cardinal Burns, Cuckoo) and produced by Jack Bayles (The Mimic, VIP), and executive produced by Richard Allen-Turner (Man Down), Kara Baker, Delaney, Horgan and Jon Thoday (Last Week Tonight With John Oliver). Aside from Catastrophe, Horgan has also created and writes for HBO's upcoming Divorce, starring Sarah Jessica Parker. (Hollywood Reporter)
