Mandy Moore Breaks Her Silence on Ryan Adams Divorce. It's been two months since her divorce was finalized, and Mandy Moore is doing "fantastic." During Tuesday's This Is Us panel at the Television Critics Association tour in Beverly Hills, the 32-year-old actress spoke for the first time about her split from Ryan Adams, her husband of nearly six years. "It's tough. Life is not easy," she admitted. "I think it's been great to be able to take all of the chapters in my life and be able to pour it into a job like this because it all helps. It's all fuel." Moore didn't divulge the details of her breakup with Adams, 41 -- that's not her style -- but she did explain how it's affected her work. "I think everything happens for a reason," she said. "I think I spent a good portion of the last years of my life really pouring all of my energy into my life and relationship, and now that that's sort of not part of my life any more. It's just not a coincidence to me that things sort of opened back up, and I'm able to focus back on myself again." The couple announced their split in January 2015. "It is a respectful, amicable parting of ways and both Mandy and Ryan are asking for media to respect their privacy at this time," a rep told E! News. When their divorce was finalized, E! News learned neither party is receiving spousal support. Moore is keeping their Griffith Park home, their Beverly Hills condo and a 2012 Prius. Adams is keeping his comic book collection, arcade games, a 2008 Porsche Carrera and a 1959 Cadillac. The exes are keeping their publishing rights for music created during their marriage. Meanwhile, Moore said Tuesday that she's excited for fans to see This Is Us, premiering Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. on NBC. The show -- which stars Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz and Milo Ventimiglia -- is Moore's first to receive a series pickup in years. "It was sort of a soul-crushing thing to be a part of pilot season year after year and for things not to move forward. Not to sound cheesy, but I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason," the actress said. "I read [this] script in October of last year and was immediately like, 'I will do whatever I can to be a part of this.' I'm thrilled this is the one that's moving forward and I get to be a part of this incredible cast." With her divorce out of the way, Moore can focus on her new dramedy full-time. But what about her life as a pop star? "I'm not working on anything at the moment, but once this gets up and running, I want to go back to music," the "I Wanna Be With You" singer said. "I think life sort of put it on the backburner. Acting and being in film, trying to do television, has always been a huge priority and it was the thing that -- the ball was rolling the most. Even though I started in music, I feel like it continued to give me way more opportunities than music did. Now that I feel like this part of my life is percolating and up and running again, it'll allow me creatively to focus back on the music." Adams has inspired several songs. "I've been writing for the last seven years since I put out a record, so I have a trough of music to choose from," she said. "I also feel like a lot has happened in the last two years of my life that I want to be able to put into music and it'll be cathartic." (Eonline)

Here's Why Rihanna and Drake Haven't Made Their Relationship Official. As we know by now, Rihanna and Drake have rekindled their off-and-on romance yet again, and we can't help but admit that these two have been pretty adorable together lately. But aside from their constant concert appearances, the late nights out together overseas, the Instagram love and their history, these two refuse to take things the extra mile and actually make their relationship official. Yes, people, we're talking about labels. We know Drizzy loves RiRi (and has loved her for years), but he has yet been able to call the Barbados beauty his girlfriend and now we have a little bit of insight as to why that is. As you may have guessed, it's Rihanna who's pumping the brakes when it comes to titles. "Rihanna and Drake are hanging out a bit more lately. Rihanna loves Drake, but is still not ready to put a title on them," a source tells E! News exclusively. The insider continues, "Drake would make her his girlfriend in a second if he could. It's more on Rihanna, though. They both care about each other and are having a good time spending time with each other. Drake has expressed to Rihanna that he only wants to date her and only her, but she wants to take day by day this time around." Regardless, the source adds that, "Things are great though and their connection is really strong. Things are progressing nicely." Despite their busy schedules and the fact that both are on tour, Drake and Rihanna still manage to make it work. Drizzy has made numerous appearances during Rih's Anti tour, and this week, Rihanna repaid the favor during Drake's OVO Fest performance in Toronto. Yes, the singer flew from Paris to Canada to support her beau, and then jet to Sweden for her tour. That's love. "He still loves her and never stopped," an insider shared with us when news broke that the pair was dating again. "They are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again." While fans may want the twosome to put a title on it, Drake already told Rihanna on "Take Care" back in 2011 that if she came back, they'd "change the pace and just go slow," so really, he's just keeping his word, and we have to accept that.

Since they began dating last fall, Blake Shelton and Stefani have been inseparable, but could wedding bells be ringing soon for the cute couple? "They are not engaged yet," says a source close to Stefani tells PEOPLE exclusively. "Everyone is expecting it to happen at some point, though." Currently traveling around the country for her tour, "it seems the timing [for an engagement] just hasn't been right," adds the source. "But Gwen is very, very happy with Blake. She always acts giddy when she talks about Blake." Echoes an insider close to the couple: "There are no immediate plans for their future, but it's a serious relationship." The country star, 40, has also been very supportive of his girlfriend's career, and the insider tells PEOPLE Shelton makes an effort to stay "in very close touch even when they're both traveling." "Blake has been very excited for her," adds the Stefani source, who says the "Misery" singer, 46, also plans to visit her boyfriend once he begins touring in the fall. "He understands the pressure of a tour before it all kicks off, and he is Gwen's biggest fan." And while they appeared to come from totally different worlds when they first began dating, the couple's friends say they have much more in common than meets the eye. "Their relationship is almost too good to be true," says the Stefani source. "They are very much alike and really have a very special relationship. All the things that need to work out for two people to merge lives have worked out." (People)

Lauren Conrad Reveals Heartbreaking Truth Behind Her Breakup With Jason Wahler That The Hills Never Aired. Lauren Conrad is still keeping it real. The fashion designer and best-selling author opened up about her time on The Hills during MTV's special celebrating the 10th anniversary on Tuesday night, That Was Then, This Is Now, where she finally revealed the truth about her break-up with then-boyfriend Jason Wahler, who also appeared on Laguna Beach, that fans never knew...before now. After Jason left the show, he had numerous drinking-related arrests and spent time behind bars and be battled substance abuse, something that was never addressed on The Hills. He entered rehab several times and appeared on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. And during the special, fans got to see a portion of Jason and Lauren's post-break-up meet-up that never made it to the air. "After we went on a break from filming, it was like a couple weeks in, I finally decided to end things. We broke up. I said you have three days to get your stuff out, I'm having the locks changed on Monday," Lauren explained. "So when I saw Jason that day, it was the first time I had seen him since we had broken up. It was really hard. What made it harder was I could see he wasn't sober." In the scene, Lauren realizes Jason isn't sober, and he gets defensive, denying it while saying, "It's 10 o'clock in the morning! It's like, yeah, a freckle past a hair." Lauren doesn't back down, saying, "You're not normal right now, what is wrong with you?" When Lauren then says, "I just feel like you're f -- ked up and it's my fault," Jason looks towards the cameras before saying, "Don't say this right now." Lauren finally points out to Jason that the producers wanted her to talk to him on-camera. "I just want to leave, and they're like, no, he wants to talk to you...Because I thought you were like messed up on something. It kills me to see you like that. Like, you're acting so weird." Even 10 years later, Lauren still got emotional talking about her split with Jason and his substance abuse problem during the special. "That really broke me, because I felt like a responsibility to take care of him, and I felt like when we broke up I was abandoning him," Lauren tearfully admitted. "Because there were a lot of nights that I was getting 2 a.m. phone calls and I had to go pick him up passed out in the back of a club. So I was like who is doing that now, I know he doesn't have friends who are doing it...I was like, oh god, no one is taking care of him." And while the break-up was painful, Lauren's parents admitted they were "so happy" when it ended. "There was a little party over here," Lauren joked, while her dad Jim clarified it was a "big party." Her mom Kathy explained, "We were sad for her, but in the long run, we knew it was best." Jason did later make another appearance on The Hills, with Lauren briefly wondering if they would get back together, but it was revealed he had a girlfriend, with Lauren, who is now married to William Tell, saying, "Jason's story has a happy ending. He is sober now and married and very happy." Jason married Ashley Slack in 2013, and recently co-founded a men's sober living home, Widespread Recovery, in Laguna Beach. (Eonline)

Former "Cosby" kid Keshia Knight Pulliam's ex-boyfriend Big Tigger wants the world to know he's not the father of her unborn child. The CBS radio host, who dated Pulliam for three years until 2015, sounded off on her messy divorce drama with Ed Hartwell on his show, saying, "There's been lots of conversation and innuendo suggesting that I might be the father of someone's child. There is .?.?. zero percent chance that the child that is being alleged might be mine, is mine." He added, "[I] could not have impregnated a female that I have not spoken to nor seen .?.?. since our breakup. Any insinuation, speculation, intimation or rumor of me being the father of that young lady's beautiful child .?.?. [is] just not true." Pulliam maintains that Hartwell -- whom she married Jan. 1 -- is the dad. But Hartwell's filed for divorce and has asked for a paternity test. (Page Six)

Lindsay Lohan is not an irresponsible beer guzzling, chimney smoking pregnant woman ... she was just, well, lying -- according to her mom. Dina Lohan tells TMZ her daughter was an emotional wreck after fleeing from fiance Egor Tarabasov. As we reported, the 2 got in such a heated argument, the London cops came and actually kicked in their door. Dina says Lindsay was just trying to get revenge on Egor -- whom she accused of cavorting with a Russian chick -- when she claimed she was pregnant. Things got complicated when these pics surfaced, showing her smoking, drinking and certainly looking like she might be pregnant. Dina now says Lindsay was distraught and just "overreacted." She's not pregnant and wants some time away from Egor, but is not done with him. We're told Lindsay is still engaged and plans on getting back with him. Sam Ronson must be exhaling big time. (TMZ)

Is Olivia Munn The Real Reason Behind Aaron Rodgers' Estrangement With His Bachelorette Brother Jordan? It sounds like the Rodgers family might have an Olivia Munn problem... or Olivia Munn has a Rodgers family problem. If you're a fan of The Bachelorette, you know show producers and America were obsessed with why the winner of JoJo Fletcher's heart, Jordan Rodgers, doesn't speak to his NFL quarterback brother Aaron Rodgers. You may even recall Chris Harrison's desperate attempt to secure Aaron's invite to a hopefully-televised wedding during After The Final Rose. Can't knock his hustle! Anywho, now multiple sources are saying the root of the feud within the Rodgers fam is none other than Aaron's famous actress girlfriend. Not only did patriarch Ed Rodgers admit "fame can change you" during JoJo's hometown date, but a family insider told Us Weekly: "[Olivia] has a strong personality and every meeting she has had with them has gone badly." As far as who stopped talking to who first, a source from the ABC show revealed that's up for much debate: "The family says Aaron stopped talking to them. While Aaron says they don't talk because his family doesn't like Olivia." Meanwhile, a Munn source added: "Aaron makes his own decisions and wouldn't be swayed by Olivia." What a mess. Regardless, the family dramz has left the newly-engaged couple "incredibly stressed:" "The family is torn apart, and it's playing out in the media." (Perez Hilton)

Nick Cannon and TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas are getting closer. A source tells us the pretty R&B crooner Chilli is smitten and that they've already met each other's families. "They've been seeing each other for about two months," said our insider. "She really likes him and they're spending a lot of time together. She's beaming all the time. She's met his friends and family. Everyone approves." The source added, "She's going to be at [Cannon's show] 'America's Got Talent' with his mom [Tuesday night]." Cannon has even started letting Chilli braid his hair, we hear. Cannon was flattered by initial rumors he was dating the singer. "I would be so lucky to be able to be called 'dating' her. This is all new to me. I'm not ready for titles and all that stuff," he's reportedly said. Cannon -- who still hasn't finalized his divorce from Mariah Carey, who's engaged herself to billionaire James Packer -- added, "I'm damaged goods! Who would want to date me?" (Page Six)

Whoa! Who knew Jason Biggs cared so much about The Bachelorette? The American Pie actor, 38, and his comedian wife, Jenny Mollen weighed in on JoJo Fletcher's decision to pick Jordan Rodgers as her "forever love," and they didn't have anything nice to say. "There's only one person on that show who was in it for JoJo: JoJo," Biggs said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, August 2. It's not just the Dallas-based beauty, 25, who they have an issue with though, because Mollen didn't hold back when it came to Fletcher's new fiance, 27. "I don't trust Jordan at all. I think he's fame hungry," Mollen told ET. "I think he has a weird haircut, which is never a good sign. It just feels like he's not in touch with reality, wearing that hair around town." Mollen, 37, then questioned Rodgers' intentions in doing the ABC show. "He wants to be The Bachelor," Mollen insisted. "Then I think he also wants to be Tom Bergeron, or host some sort of game show." She certainly doesn't think their romance will last. "They'll date for a while and probably dance with the stars, and then we'll move on with our lives." Biggs and Mollen -- who are currently promoting their upcoming comedy Amateur Night -- aren't the only ones unimpressed by the reality TV lovebirds. "We'll see how long that lasts," Bachelorette villain Chad Johnson told Extra of the new couple. (US Weekly)

Michelle Pugh was thrust into the spotlight earlier this year when her affair with Ozzy Osbourne was revealed, and now the celebrity hair colorist is opening up for the first time about her relationship with the rocker. "When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it," she tells PEOPLE exclusively about Ozzy, whom she claims first pursued her one year after she first colored his hair in late 2011. "He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshipped woman in the world." Ozzy-who earlier this month told Good Morning America his 33-year marriage with wife Sharon, 63, was "back on track" after the two split in May-insists the relationship with Pugh was a purely physical one that resulted from his sex addiction. "He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context," the singer's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively in a statement. "He would like to apologize to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy." However, Pugh maintains Ozzy, 67, was "unhappy" in his marriage and "consistently and willingly and generously" gave her "his love." "What attracted me to him? Chemistry," says Pugh. "We just had it. It's that indescribable thing in life, and you can't deny it. And he didn't." Aside from their physical relationship, Pugh says the duo also connected on an "emotional level" and would have long discussions about their "shared passions" for painting, history and current events. "My relationship was more with this really nice, sweet, funny and cool guy ... John from England," describes Pugh. Acknowledging she is no longer in touch with Ozzy, Pugh says it's a "struggle every day now" for her when she wakes. "I wake from my dreams, which some nights he's in, and for a minute when I wake I'm peaceful," she says. "Then the absence sets in. It's horrible." Even so, the hair colorist says she has no ill will towards her former lover. "He is a grown man. He is capable of making the decision to be with me. If he has chosen to not be, that is fine. I accept it and move on," she says. "But he has been my best friend for the last few years, so of course I am grieving the loss for that." "I still love him," continues Pugh. "And I would never exploit the truly personal and private parts of what we had. That's not me. I'm going to stand tall and proud and say, 'This is me. I'm not ashamed.' I fell in love with a man that gave me the love I never knew I could receive." (People)

Empire's Terrence Howard Sued by Management Firm for $250,000. Terrence Howard is being sued by his former talent management company for $250,000 as they claim that the Empire actor has breached their contract. Authentic Talent and Literary Management filed a formal complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that Howard owes them a quarter of a million dollars for failing to pay them their share of commission after they parted ways with the TV star. According to the lawsuit at hand, the management company claims that they played "a key role in the resurgence of Howard's career" and provided him with "professional, personal and other advice and career guidance." After Howard accepted the role of Lucious Lyon on the Fox program, he fired Authentic Talent and Literary Management. The company now claims that they are entitled to 10% of revenue that Howard received while he was working with them, and that includes his Empire salary. Authentic Talent and Literary Management hired Mathew Rosengart for the lawsuit, the same lawyer who represented Sean Penn in the defamation lawsuit against Lee Daniels. The Empire co-creator previously compared Howard to Penn, which sparked the legal battle. Penn subsequently settled the $10 million dollar lawsuit against Daniels after the director and producer apologized and made a donation to Penn's charity helping those in Haiti. Howard's rep did not return initial request for comment. (Eonline)

Chris Brown's known gang ties set off the shooting spree inside 1 OAK, and the club should have done a better job screening for weapons ... according to one of the shooting victims. Ginja Elms says he was among those shot in 2014 at 1 OAK on Sunset -- the same night Suge Knight got popped 7 times. In a lawsuit he's filed against Brown, Elms says the nightclub was well aware of the singer's gang affiliation, and as a result it should have patted down every single person entering that night ... including celebs and their crews. He's also suing singer Pia Mia, who co-hosted the event with Brown. You'll recall Suge already filed a very similar suit against Brown, Mia and 1 OAK. Aside from the obvious gunshot wound, Elms says he's suffered "disruption in his relationship with his wife." He's suing for damages in excess of $750k. (TMZ)

"Straight Outta Compton" star Jason Mitchell -- who played Eazy-E -- is under investigation for allegedly attacking a woman in a fancy Boston hotel. Law enforcement sources tell us they got called to The Ritz early Monday when an 18-year-old woman claimed Mitchell got rough. According to the report, obtained by TMZ, she told police the actor grabbed her arms, threw her to the ground by her hair, called her a bitch and then fled. We are told the argument started after the woman tried to crash a party Mitchell was having at the hotel...and when she was turned away she got extremely upset. Several witnesses on scene say that the woman actually struck Mitchell first, with an open hand. The report says other guests could hear the victim screaming for help in the hallway, and The Ritz has since banned Mitchell. The alleged victim tells us Monday was the first time she'd met Mitchell, who was definitely in town that night. Another fan, not the woman, posted a video of him at a Boston bar. Cops spoke to Mitchell on scene. He was not arrested. We reached out to his rep ... so far, no word back. (TMZ)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Cara Delevingne Gets Emotional Talking About Her Childhood, Depression and How She's Learned to Overcome Pain. Cara Delevingne may be one of the most successful models in the world -- and working her way to finding just as much success in the acting world -- but it hasn't be an easy ride for the beauty. The 23-year-old covers the September issue of ELLE magazine and opens up about her younger years and how she's come a long way in learning to deal with pain. In April, Delevingne had revealed her battle with depression, tweeting, "I suffer from depression and was a model during a particularly rough patch of self-hatred." When asked why she decided to open up about her personal struggles with mental illness on social media, Delevingne explained, "I couldn't just sit there and listen to these girls, and boys, too, but usually girls, say this stuff, about bullying, about their sexuality, depression, and guilt and suicidal thoughts and just all of it, without being like, 'I have been through that, and it's going to be okay.'" She continued, "If I can help a teenager go through a better time than they should be, then I am going to f--king do that. I mean, f--king being a teenager suuuccccks. And I somehow came through the other end." Part of getting through her depression is learning how to manage her pain in a healthy way, which she's found by practicing yoga. "For me, yoga's the only way I can really feel things and check how I am. Because there is always pain somewhere, even if it's completely irrational pain, and it's always good to find it and get it out," she explained. "If I don't cry pretty much every day I will hold it in, and it will manifest in me in things that are destructive, like my skin." In fact, crying is bit of a rough subject for Delevingne, who associates it with her childhood. However, she's had to learn how to do so for her acting career. "I don't think I have ever, ever cried in front of more than one person ever, ever," she admitted. "Because I grew up in this very 'Emotion is weak, head up, move on, onward and upward' kind of way. Which is not healthy." She continued, "Will Smith was telling me he brought up his kids to put their emotions first, and when I heard that, I was just like, 'Oh my God, that sounds like a fairy tale.' Because emotions should be put first. It's the most important thing." Meanwhile, the Suicide Squad star previously chatted with E! News about publicly discussing her depression, too. "Mental illness goes unseen, but hopefully I don't want it to be unheard," Delevingne told us exclusively while promoting Suicide Squad at CinemaCon in April. "I want to speak up for it." For more from Delevingne, read her full interview in ELLE's September issue, on newsstands nationwide August 16. (Eonline)

Ireland Baldwin Poses Completely Topless for Provocative Spread in Treats! Magazine. Ain't no shame in Ireland Baldwin's game. The daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger is baring (almost!) all for a recent photo spread in Treats! Magazine. Ireland goes topless in the shoot snapped by photographer Arthur Belebeau, which has an edgy, futuristic vibe to it. In one pic, the 20-year-old sports nothing but a silver-sequined collar, gloves and matching pumps as she poses poolside. Another features the striking model floating in a shallow pool while a mesh top all but covers her breasts. Ireland looks equal parts retro glam and provocative seductress in the photographs that mark her first time posing nude for the artistic mag. Baldwin is no stranger to steamy photo shoots, as she made her modeling debut in 2013 with a skimpy bikini spread. Since then, Ireland signed with DT Model Management and has gone on to appear in Vanity Fair, Elle and DuJour magazines. She's also posed topless before, albeit on her Instagram page for a number of impromptu photo opportunities. Of her runway inspirations, Baldwin tells Treats! she looks up to, "Karlie Kloss as a modern day business woman and intellect. Naomi Campbell for her style and attitude on the catwalk. Irina Shayk because she's so sexy and poised." The brunette beauty has most likely also been inspired by her mother, who first found fame in Playboy pictorials and later as a Bond girl in 1983's Never Say Never Again. Earlier this year, Basinger opened up about her "nasty" divorce from Alec and its effect on their only daughter. "Divorce is hard on a kid, no matter how you cut it," the actress said. "And ours was very public and nasty. So I brought up Ireland in a very unconventional way. I just wanted her to be free. If she wanted to have her friends over and write over the walls with pen, that was fine. I wanted her childhood to be full of love and light and animals and friends." In April 2015, Ireland checked into a two-week treatment facility to deal with "emotional trauma," at the time shooting down speculation that "intensive partying" was actually to blame. Issue 11 of Treats! Magazine is available online and will be on newsstands later this month. (Eonline)

Google's elite "Camp" has returned to Sicily, Italy -- and the collected Masters of the Universe were stunned to see David Blaine swallow a live frog during one session. The most exclusive conference in tech, called simply "The Camp," is back for a third year, and VIP guests at the invite-only retreat hosted by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were treated to a performance by Blaine, who spit up, then reswallowed, the unlucky frog. One spy told us, "David Blaine came to stage with a live frog in his stomach, and he regurgitated it on demand. Then, he swallowed it back. He says he's training himself to create an aquarium in his stomach." The source added, "Last act before lunch, urggh." When asked about his new stunt, Blaine's spokeswoman could only say, "That's all probably true. He's pretty amazing." Google's Camp is a gathering of power players from tech, finance, music and fashion, dubbed "Davos on the sea," and held at a luxury resort in the southwest Sicilian fishing town of Sciacca. Shrouded in secrecy, only around 100 are invited to the gathering. This year's list includes George Lucas, Charlize Theron, Bill Gates, Gloria Steinem, Alicia Keys, Snapchat's Evan Spiegel and fiancee Miranda Kerr, Queen Rania of Jordan, François-Henri Pinault, model Karlie Kloss and Pharrell Williams. Media moguls who made the list included CBS's Les Moonves, Vice's Shane Smith and IAC's Barry Diller with Diane von Furstenberg. Coming from Hollywood were Jeffrey Katzenberg, Brian Grazer and CAA chief Bryan Lourd. Malala Yousafzai was expected to speak to guests, as well as Theron. And Katzenberg told the crowd his biggest career regret was how he and Michael Eisner "divorced," referring to the epic 1994 Disney blow-up when Eisner fired him as studio head after their relationship soured. A highlight of the conference was a performance by Keys at an open-air dinner on Monday among the celebrated ruins at the Valley of the Temples, a UNESCO world heritage site, where the most important Greek deities were once worshipped.

Margot Robbie has revealed that she is on texting terms with Prince Harry - but regularly leaves him hanging. The pair have friends in common: Prince Harry is friends with her Suicide Squad co-star Cara Delevingne, and Margot originally met him at a house party thrown by Suki Waterhouse - where she mistook him for Ed Sheeran (oops). "He's pretty quick on text actually," Margot told E Online. "Unlike me, I write back four days later, weeks later sometimes." There's no Margot and Robbie sitting in a tree, however: she shares a London flat with boyfriend Tom Ackerley and four roommates. "Yeah, it's really odd," she said of the texting, adding that she initially didn't tell her family about it. "When I go to see my family my mom's telling me about Murphy, our dog, and mundane things like that!" (British Glamour)

Ashley Graham Can't Satisfy Her Weight Critics: I'm "Too Much, but at the Same Time Not Enough." Ashley Graham has been caught in a very public catch-22. The model, who rose to international fame this year as the first plus size figure to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, has been the subject of relentless backlash rooted in a photo she shared on social media. The self-proclaimed size 14 star posed in a crop top and matching skirt layered under a Balmain leather jacket and subsequently uploaded the shot to Instagram as she had done countless times before. "I didn't give it a second thought when I posted it, but soon the image went viral," she wrote in Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter. "Not because of how good I looked wearing a high-end designer that doesn't usually market to women my size, but because of people's misguided views on women's bodies and who owns the rights to them. The criticism flowed in, accusing the body image activist of slimming down and, as a result, complying with traditional standards set by the fashion industry -- standards that Graham has spent her entire career fighting. However, the claims were far from the truth. "The reality is I haven't lost a pound this year. In fact, I'm actually heavier than I was three years ago, but I accept my body as it is today," she explained. While the Lane Bryant model is fiercely dedicated to the notion that however her body looks is perfectly okay, Graham's fan are not so understanding on both sides of the aisle. Instead, they have cornered the Cosmopolitan covergirl into a catch-22 she's ceaselessly fighting her way out of. "To some I'm too curvy. To others I'm too tall, too busty, too loud, and, now, too small -- too much, but at the same time not enough," she wrote. "When I post a photo from a 'good angle,' I receive criticism for looking smaller and selling out. When I post photos showing my cellulite, stretch marks, and rolls, I'm accused of promoting obesity. The cycle of body-shaming needs to end. I'm over it." However, Graham is careful to note that body shaming also comes in all different sizes. "Body shaming isn't just telling the big girl to cover up. It's trying to shame me for working out. It's giving 'skinny' a negative connotation. It's wanting me to be plus size, or assuming I'm pregnant because of some belly bulge," she continued. "What type of example are we setting for young girls and their self-esteem if grown adults are on Instagram calling other women 'cowards' for losing weight, or 'ugly' for being overweight?" Despite the harmful criticism Graham maintains she will always be an ally to women, no matter the number on the scale. "I am here for all women who don't feel comfortable in their skin, who need a reminder that their unique bodies are beautiful. I'm very proud of my work as a model, and I'm even more proud of the work we've all done to raise awareness for body positivity and size diversity within the fashion industry," she said. "However, I refuse to let others dictate how I live my life and what my body should look like for their own comfort. And neither should you." Ultimately, the brunette beauty hopes everyone will be able to see beyond size, including her own. "I'm not Ashley Graham just because I'm curvy. For the past sixteen years, my body has been picked apart, manipulated, and controlled by others who don't understand it. But now my career has given me a platform to use my voice to make a difference," she concluded. "My body is MY body. I'll call the shots." (Eonline)

Gwen Stefani Performs Duet With Blake Shelton Almost One Year After Filing for Divorce From Gavin Rossdale. What a difference a year makes. One day before marking 12 months since Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale filed for divorce, the "Make Me Like You" singer took to the stage in Detroit where a special guest just so happened to show up. In between her set at the DTE Energy Music Theatre, the lead singer of No Doubt brought Blake Shelton out on stage to perform their duet titled "Go Ahead and Break My Heart." According to concertgoers, the pair ended the song with a hug on what Gwen called "a really special night." Perhaps Tuesday night's performance doesn't come as the biggest surprise to fans of the couple. Earlier in the day, Gwen was active on Snapchat where she documented rehearsals with her boyfriend close by. In between sound check, Blake also had to point out that Gwen "has had three cups of French Onion soup" and loves her share of Trident gum. Wait, is Gwen just like us?! Backstage habits aside, the duo's collaboration is quite special to each performer who have worked together as coaches on The Voice. In fact, after performing their track on the NBC reality show, both parties spoke out about how much the song meant to them. "This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written or recorded," Blake said when the performance was announced. "The song couldn't possibly be more honest. I'm honored to have written and to perform this song with the great Gwen Stefani. Respect." "Yeah, it feels like, 'Wow, that happened.' I can't believe I wrote a song with that guy." Gwen also shared with E! News at 102.7 KIISFM's Wango Tango. "And then we got a chance to sing it together on The Voice. Like...and everyone got to see that. It was a miracle. It was incredible."

Ariana Grande Won't Get a New Song In Hairspray Live! Grease Live might've added a new tune for Frenchie once singer Carly Rae Jepsen was added to the cast, but Hairspray Live! won't be adding any new songs to the show despite the fact that they've cast one of the biggest pop superstars around, Ariana Grande. "I think one of the thrills is Ariana wanted to play the part as written," executive producer Neil Meron said at the live musical's 2016 Television Critics Association summer press tour panel. "She loved the fact that she kind of held off those powerful pipes until the very end." Grande plays Penny, the BFF of plus-sized teen Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Maddie Baillio), who causes a stir when she launches a campaign to integrate the 1960s dance show on which she stars. Though Penny sings in group numbers throughout the show, she doesn't have a solo of her own -- but Grande wants the role to remain as is. "I don't want to change anything about the role or how she develops," she said on the panel. "I just love Penny and it's just such a great honor to play her. I don't want any sort of special icing or parts. This is just really great and I'm so happy." Grande, whose first professional job was the Broadway musical 13, is a theater geek at heart. "I got to see the Original Broadway Cast [of Hairspray], I think I was 10 or 11, so yes, way too young," she revealed. "Penny's been my favorite character from the start. My theater geek inside, which is what I am, I can't take it!" In fact, she might like it even more than being a pop star. "At heart, theater is everything to me. Pop music is fun, but this is way much more fun," she confessed. Hairspray Live! will air in December on NBC. (Eonline)

Azealia Banks Quits Social Media 'For Good,' Says 'My Legacy Can't Live and Die on the Internet'. Azealia Banks has had a difficult relationship with the internet, one that she wants to end for good. So, on Tuesday, the controversial rapper said she's shutting down all her social media feeds, posting a Facebook essay explaining why she has to cut the cord. "I'm seriously tired of people's feelings," she wrote. "I'm tired of seeing their overly sensitive reactions and responses to everything. I'm tired of having everything I say or do be monitored and I'm tired of being told how I should be behaving." And so, she went on, she's quitting FB and any other form of social media that allows her to engage with other people. "My legacy can't live and die on the Internet," she concluded before saying goodbye, "for good." Back in May, Banks' Twitter account was suspended after she posted racist and homophobic slurs aimed at former One Direction member Zayn Malik. Banks' online rants have frequently overshadowed her musical output, including the time earlier this year that she went off on Beyonce's Lemonade album, tweeting "she's not an artist, she's a poacher."

Slash Recorded Elton John's 'Rocket Man' For a Daredevil's Dangerous Stunt. Slash's "Rocket Man" is cleared for takeoff. The Guns N' Roses guitar hero has been given the green light to record a cover of Elton John's '70s classic for a daredevil's dangerous Kickstarter campaign. Slash's turbo-boosted recording will serve as the theme for Eddie Braun's attempt at leaping across Idaho's Snake River Canyon, a stunt which almost took the life of famed thrill-seeker Evel Knievel. Braun plans to jump the canyon on Sept. 17 with the help of a 10,000 horse-power rocket, the so-called "Evel Spirit" which apparently goes from 0-400mph in three seconds. Knievel tried and failed in his attempt at the stunt back in September 1978. In a novel twist, each backer of the new campaign will receive a download of "Rocket Man," performed by Slash, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. "I approached the rock icon Slash, who I knew to be an Evel Knievel fan, and asked if he would be interested in being involved with my rocket project," Braun notes on his Kickstarter page. "He gave us the most awesome gift we could ever dream: a theme song." Braun plans to live-stream his jump attempt. The download "Rocket Man" will be distributed after the action. (Billboard)

Bette Midler 'Can't Wait' to See Idina Menzel Revive Her 'Beaches' Role. No one is more excited to see the upcoming TV revival of Beaches than Bette Midler. In the 1988 feature film, Midler played the iconic role of CC Bloom, an aspiring singer who meets Hillary (played Barbara Hershey) as a kid on the Venice Boardwalk. The pair's lifelong friendship is chronicled over decades in the beloved tearjerker, which was directed by Garry Marshall. Now, Lifetime is set to remake the classic as a TV movie, with Idina Menzel stepping into the role of Midler's CC. "Can't wait to see Idina Menzel as CC in Lifetime's 'Beaches!'" Midler tweeted on Tuesday night, adding: "DON'T TELL ME THE ENDING!" The remake was announced one week after Marshall's death, with production set to begin on Aug. 15 in Vancouver. The movie's music -- including "Wind Beneath My Wings," which earned record and song of the year at the 1990 Grammys -- will be included with new takes from Menzel. Casting is underway for the role of Hillary. (Billboard)

Attention No-Maj: J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Sequel Set for 2018 Release. The magic of J.K. Rowling is going to be sticking around until at least 2018. Months before the debut of Rowling's Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it has already been confirmed that the currently unnamed sequel to the three-part franchise is in motion and will hit theaters Nov. 16, 2018, Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed Wednesday. The first installment of the Potter prequel starring Eddie Redmayne will premiere in theaters on Nov. 18 of this year. Rowling, who penned her first screenplay for the initial film, will return to write the sequel while fellow Fantastic Beasts director David Yates is also slated to take his seat behind the cameras yet again for the second project. Inspired by a book on Harry Potter's first-year required reading list, the plot of the first film takes place decades prior to Potter's arrival at Hogwarts, though the characters exist within the same magical world. Newt Scamander is a "magizoologist" who observes rare and endangered magical creatures around the world, documents them for his book and collects them in his tiny weathered suitcase. While in New York City, the creatures escape in a wiz-phobic America and havoc ensues. As for the sequel, it "moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world, where Newt and our other heroes have to decide on their allegiances," Warner Bros. said. While the first film has not yet hit theaters, the world has already caught Potter fever once again as the latest installment to the franchise, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, was released to scores of eager fans at midnight on July 31. Unlike previous books in the series, Cursed Child is the script of a corresponding play, which had its official opening night at the West End Palace Theater in London on July 30. (Eonline)

Scarlett Johansson "Reinvent" Kaa for Disney's The Jungle Book. Scarlett Johansson brings some much-needed female energy to The Jungle Book. In Walt Disney Pictures' live-action/CGI movie (on Digital HD Aug. 23 and on Blu-ray Aug. 30), Johansson voices Kaa, a deceptive and alluring python; Sterling Holloway first voiced the character in the studio's 1967 animated classic. When Jon Favreau agreed to direct this film, he saw it an "opportunity" to let someone as adept and talented as Johansson reimagine the role. E! News got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Johansson and Favreau redeveloping Kaa in the recording studio. As she explains in the clip (part of the Blu-ray and digital bonus features), "It's a boy snake in the cartoon. And also, he's a much...friendlier version of our Kaa. He's really kind of goofy in the film and friends with Mowgli and kind of follows him along. In this film, Kaa is more of a storyteller, and she's very seductive. She's a mirror into the past for Mowgli." The 31-year-old actress added, "For me, it was kind of exciting to reinvent this character with Jon." The 3D version of The Jungle Book will be available later this year. The family-friendly film introduces Neel Sethi as Mowgli and also features the voice talents of Idris Elba, Giancarlo Esposito, Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong'o, Garry Shandling and Christopher Walken. Additional bonus features include "The Jungle Book Reimagined," in which Favreau discusses Rudyard Kipling's stories with producer Brigham Taylor and visual effects supervisor Robert Legato; "I Am Mowgli," which reveals how Sethi was selected from thousands of hopefuls worldwide to play the lead; "King Louie's Temple: Layer by Layer," which shows how Favreau's team created a musical number featuring a man-cub, an ape and many monkeys; and "Audio Commentary," in which Favreau delivers his scene-by-scene perspective on the adventure film. The Jungle Book is available on Digital HD Aug. 23 and on Blu-ray Aug. 30. (Eonline)

Scott Eastwood Pays Tribute to Paul Walker, Is "Honored" to Be Part of Fast 8. Sounds like Scott Eastwood is looking forward to his upcoming film, Fast 8. On the red carpet at the Suicide Squad premiere in New York City, the actor talked to E! News' Marc Malkin about how much it means for him to be a part of the Fast and the Furious family and how he's looking forward to honoring Paul Walker's legacy. "Paul was one of my best friends and to add to his story, to be a part of his family and all the great people and cast that are there, it's like a dream come true," Eastwood said. His kind words echoed a moving statement he posted on Instagram back in April about how Walker's death in 2013 affected him on a personal level. "Paul was a close friend of mine," he wrote. "We surfed together, traveled together, and he was a huge role model and influencing figure in my life when I was younger. He still is. He was an older brother to me. For me to be able to add to the F&F story, Paul's story, and the FAST family is like a dream come true." At the premiere, Eastwood also mentioned how excited he was to be working with Charlize Theron, another newcomer to the franchise. Although he dashed our dreams by advising us not to look forward to any steamy scenes between the two of them, he said Theron is "fantastic" and "amazing." Learn more about Eastwood's role in Fast 8, in theaters April 14, 2017, and hear more about Suicide Squad, in theaters Friday, in our exclusive video. (Eonline)

Oliver Stone will continue his secretive VIP screenings of "Snowden" leading up to the film's official world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month. The director's Edward Snowden political thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt will screen Aug. 21 in East Hampton, we hear. But a night before, Stone will screen the film for about 16 guests at the home of art dealer Larry Gagosian. (New York nightlife buffs will recall that Gagosian and Stone were both investors in the 1990s hot spot Moomba, along with Laurence Fishburne.) Stone also showed off the film during July's Comic-Con, at an unofficial, invite-only screening where Snowden was beamed in via video for a Q&A. (Page Six)

'Suicide Squad' Fans Petition Rotten Tomatoes to Shut Down After Poor Reviews. More than 5,000 people have backed the Change.org petition. Don't shoot the messenger. Some DC Comics faithful aren't pleased with the poor reviews Suicide Squad has been receiving ... and they are blaming Rotten Tomatoes, a site which famously aggregates reviews into a Tomatometer score, but does not review films itself. Currently, Suicide Squad sits at 35 percent. Neither of Warner Bros.' two previous entries in the DC Extended Universe have been certified fresh, with 2013's Man of Steel sitting at 56 percent and March's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice pulling the lowest of them all with 27 percent. The Change.org petition, made by a fan who says he lives in Egypt, argues Rotten Tomatoes should be shut down because its critics "always give The DC Extended Universe movies unjust Bad Reviews," and that this affects people's opinions, even if the films are "great." As of Tuesday night, more than 5,000 people had signed the petition, but plenty of comments have questioned the validity of trying to shut down Rotten Tomatoes, considering the site does not review films. The petition organizer shared a statement to address those criticisms on Tuesday, saying that he understands the site will not be shut down. Rather, he hopes the petition will send a message to critics that a lot of people disagree with their reviews," adding the petition is just "a way to express our anger." Ironically, Warner Bros. has a history with Rotten Tomatoes. It -- along with DC Entertainment -- falls under the Time Warner corporate umbrella. Until earlier this year, Rotten Tomatoes a property of Warner Bros. Entertainment, until it was sold to Fandango. (Hollywood Reporter)

David Ayer Reacts to Poor 'Suicide Squad' Reviews. "I love the movie and believe in it," the director said on Tuesday night. David Ayer, the writer-director of Suicide Squad, has a message about the film's disappointing reviews. On Tuesday night, after a day of reviews for the highly anticipated anti-superhero film hit, Ayer tweeted: "Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas - Emiliano Zapata." The quote translates to: "I'd prefer to die standing, than to live always on my knees." He then followed that up with an explanation, "Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life." Early reviews of Ayer's Suicide Squad came in on Tuesday and as a whole, they were discouraging to fans. The Hollywood Reporter's review said, "the film starts with promise but disengages as it loses its creative bearings" and that it's a "puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is." Still, it remains to be seen if the reviews will hurt its performance when in theaters this weekend: THR's box office preview says the Warner Bros./DC Comics movie is still "almost assured of nabbing the top August debut of all time in North America." Suicide Squad follows an all-star team of incarcerated supervillains who are released by a secret government agency to save the world. It stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Jared Leto (The Joker) and Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), as well as Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood and Cara Delevingne.

'Fantastic Beasts' Sequel in the Works, Release Date Set. Director David Yates will again take the helm, having just wrapped the upcoming 'Harry Potter' spinoff. With Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them just a little over three months away from hitting theaters, Warner Bros. has announced its plans for a sequel, which the studio has dated for Nov. 16, 2018. The first film, which will bow Nov. 18 and is being dubbed a spinoff of the studio's hugely successful Harry Potter franchise, marks author J.K. Rowling's return to the big screen. The Harry Potter author wrote the Fantastic Beasts screenplay, which delves back into the wizarding world made famous by Rowling's seven books that were turned into eight films. Rowling, who made her screenwriting debut on the first film, is penning the sequel, which will move deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world, where Newt Scamander and the story's other heroes have to decide on their allegiances. Director David Yates, who directed the final four Harry Potter films as well as Fantastic Beasts, will return to the director's chair for the sequel, which brings back producers David Heyman, Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. Neil Blair, Rick Senat and Danny Cohen will serve as executive producers. Though Warner Bros. made no mention of Fantastic Beasts stars like Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller and Katherine Waterston, all are expected to return for the second outing. The announcement was made by Warner Bros.' Greg Silverman, president of creative development and worldwide production, and Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing and distribution. The move comes as Rowling's world of wizards and magic continues to expand. The new play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two, opened this past weekend to rave reviews in London, creating a frenzy with sold-out performances. The script of the play, just published, has already sold 2 million copies in two days, according to Scholastic. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks at Universal Studios in Orlando, Hollywood and Osaka, Japan, are drawing record crowds. And Warner Bros. Studio Tour London -- The Making of Harry Potter is now online and generating robust business. (Hollywood Reporter)

Archie Panjabi on Her The Good Wife Exit and a Spinoff Return -- Will the Boots Get Zipped Up Again? Archie Panjabi left the world of the The Good Wife behind in season six, and to her, it was exactly the right time. "In terms of anything that happened on The Good Wife, I think it's only respectful for it to stay on The Good Wife," Panjabi told reporters at the 2016 TCA Summer Press Tour when asked about the season six finale in which her final scene with Julianna Margulies was done via green screen and caused controversy among fans. "It was time for me for many reasons to unzip the boots and step into another show." Panjabi went over to the UK and appeared Power Monkeys and Shetland. In the US she did a guest spot on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and is now part of the Blindspot cast opposite Jaimie Alexander. The actress shot to fame with her portrayal of private investigator Kalinda Sharma. She won an Emmy for her work after the show's first season and the admiration of legions of fans with her zip-up boots. The Good Wife ended after its seventh season in 2016, but shortly after it wrapped up CBS announced Christine Baranski and Cush Jumbo would be headlining a spinoff set one year after the events of the series finale. The untitled spinoff will air on CBS All Access, the network's streaming platform. Will Panjabi return to the world of The Good Wife on the spinoff? "Truthfully, I haven't even thought about that at that juncture," Panjabi told press after the panel. "So, I can't answer that. Who knows?" If she were asked, Panjabi said she's unsure if she would return to the bat-wielding character. "I don't know, to tell you the truth. Like I said, when I unzipped the boots, I knew it was the right time, so I don't know. I'd have to sit and think about that," she said. But if you're still missing Panjabi (and those infamous boots), you'll want to check out her mysterious Blindspot character. "I can tell you for those of you who miss the boots," Panjabi said. "I do wear a pair of knee high boots on Blindspot." Blindspot premieres Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. on NBC. (Eonline)

Pretty Little Liars: Who's Dead, Who Broke Up, and Who's Engaged? Was that not just the most quintessential Pretty Little Liars episode? Someone got attacked, someone died, someone dug up a grave, someone broke up, and someone got engaged, and some mysterious someone took off a mask and watched a grainy nightvision video in an ominous way. That was just a lot! First of all, that engagement: Aria at first said she had to think about Ezra's proposal, but only because she was worried he wouldn't want to marry a criminal who may be sent to jail for the death of Elliot Rollins/Archer Dunhill. She told him the whole story, but he's been around Rosewood long enough for a simple case of accessory to accidental manslaughter to not deter him in the slightest. He proposed again, and Aria said yes. So yay Ezria! Spaleb, on the other hand, is not so yay. As much as our anti-traditionalist hearts rooted for Spencer and Caleb to make it work, they decided to break up, because of how much they both screwed up. But that doesn't mean they didn't and still don't love each other, so we kinda feel like this love triangle/square/shape isn't over yet. Elsewhere, RIP Sara Harvey. She was hanging out with Jenna, just doing the general evil-seeming things that characters like Sara and Jenna typically tend to do on this show, when someone knocked on her hotel room door and then killed her in the shower. Sucks for her, but we aren't really sure what she was actually doing at this point, so we're not yet really feeling the loss. We're also confused, because there's still someone out there who looks an awful lot like Elliot/Archer, and he's going around and attacking Alison with masks on. However, as Hanna and Spencer learned when they dug up the grave, at least one version of Archer is definitely dead. Was he wearing an Elliot mask under his bald policeman mask? Does Elliot have a twin? Will we ever be less confused about what's going on? Who knows?! Do you have more of a handle on this than we do? Pretty Little Liars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Freeform.

Whoopi Goldberg Clarifies The View Casting Rumors in Lengthy Twitter Rant. Whoopi Goldberg is really clearing the air. The View co-host took to Twitter Wednesday morning to dispel rumors that she has anything to do with the talk show's hiring or firing policy after a Daily Mail report claimed Paula Faris' appearances were reduced at Goldberg's behest. In a lengthy rant, Goldberg explained she would never stoop to "mean girl" levels. "Contrary to what u might read in the I do NOT run ABC nor do I own or produce, not involved in hiring4 the View so don't send ur resumes," she began. "I'm not responsible 4 firing or moving people around or negotiating my coworkers contracts. I LIKE having a gig and as much as I'd like to Rule the entire universe, I have enough to do in my life than to take mean girl pleasure at some one else WRONGLY perceived change." While calling out the publication specifically, the Oscar winner also explained that years in the entertainment industry have taught her how to act because of the chance that someone might talk to the press. "Also daily mail knowing that people talk A lot do you honestly think I would talk or act in such a way that would give u ANY ability to know Anything I think??," she continued tweeting. "No daily mail I wouldn't, so if your going to continue to accuse me of doing this kind of thing could you make something Someone my age would do. For goodness sake the only botch fest is the one in talks minds.no fight here just clearing up an untruth." The story in question claimed Faris' appearances were reduced after focus group feedback research was the "lowest" since Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Apparently Faris flipped out in a closed-door meeting, claiming the decision was "a bunch of bull" and "Whoopi's doing." "She is adamant that the network bowed to pressure from Whoopi to get rid of Paula as part of her negotiations to return for Season 20," a source told the Daily Mail. According to Goldberg, however, that doesn't seem to be the case. The View has seen many come and go throughout its many seasons, with the most recent departure being Michelle Collins. Goldberg, however, recently announced she'll be returning for another season. A source also tells E! News that Faris will be back. "Paula is a great addition to the team, and she'll absolutely be back as a co-host next season," the insider says. (Eonline)

All About Animal Kingdom's Devastating Death and the "Transitional" Season Finale. If you've been watching TNT's Animal Kingdom, you knew something terrible was coming. The Cody family is terrifying, ruthless and totally ripped (look at all the abs!), and the first season of the sexy summer drama has built up to the heist that went down in Tuesday night's penultimate episode. But while everything went smoothly as the Codys broke into Camp Pendleton and stole a whole bunch of money, something else went horribly wrong. Smurf (Ellen Barkin) suspected that Catherine (Daniella Alonso) was talking to the cops, and sent Pope (Shawn Hatosy) to investigate. Pope, who'd loved Catherine as a kid and spent three years in prison fantasizing about having a family with her, realized there was something to Smurf's suspicions and killed Catherine -- while having sex with her. It was a brutal moment, and that's before Pope methodically disposed of her body. Ahead of the sure-to-be explosive season one finale next week. (Eonline)

Bachelor in Paradise Premiere: Chad Has Attacked and No One Is Safe. It's baaa-aaaack. Our favorite completely insane Bachelor vacay has returned for yet another summer of sandy beach loving and hopefully lots of lovely weirdos arguing and communing with animals. We knew from just the opening credits, which featured Lace falling over while Evan ate a banana and Canadian Daniel doused himself in maple syrup, that this season was going to be a purely joyful mess, and we became even surer of that when further introductions included Evan finally buying himself a new shirt in order to get his mojo back. While at first we were ready to judge these people based on their pasts, it was as we watched Nick Viall worry he might be the runner-up on a show with no runner-up and Chad cuddle his adorable puppy while packing up 40 pounds of protein powder that we made a decision to turn over a new leaf. Let's just let all these lovable wackos make a new first impression on us and see how it goes! So how did it go? Pretty bad, to be honest, and it's all because of Chad. At first, our most favorite thing about that premiere was how all of the guys (minus his BFF Canadian Daniel) were terrified of the moment Chad was inevitably going to show up, and all the girls couldn't wait to find out what the guy was really like. We're not sure what that says about the girls or about us, but we really had high hopes for his comeback. We were so, so, so wrong. Nice new Chad lasted about ten minutes before he started drinking, yelling, throwing around rude names, engaging in a volatile 2-hour relationship with Lace, and even throwing a few punches in the direction of his BFF Canadian Daniel. He ended up wandering down the beach, growling at crabs, before passing out in the sand and crapping his pants. "Dude let's get murdered, but like, together," he pleaded to Daniel at one point, before moaning about how he needed to make out with someone. "You have a better chance of making out with a turtle than a girl tonight," the oh-so-wise Canadian Daniel wisely told him. He didn't even get to do that, in the end. After just one night in Paradise, Chris Harrison called everyone up to the rose palapa (and you can bet we laughed at him yelling about a rose palapa) and kicked Chad out on behalf of everyone involved in the show. He then lashed out at some producers, and Chris had to confront him once again, only to have his nighttime habits insulted. "You went to sleep last night with a mimosa and a robe on!" Chad yelled, and we were super disappointed to find that we were not immediately treated to that image on screen. Of course, instead, we got a to be continued, but a promo showed Chad's inevitable surprise return... Elsewhere Tuesday night, a few other people also made impressions: "The Penis Guy:" According to both Jubilee and Amanda, Evan is more attractive in person, which is really good to hear. He "can't even deal" with how cute Amanda is with her cute little kids, and we're kind of ready to ship them and their new generation of The Brady Bunch. We also kinda giggled a bit as he channeled Steve Irwin to investigate Chad and his protein powder. Canadian Daniel: Canadian Daniel hasn't changed, but how we feel about him kind of has. He's still a bit horrible, but he's an entertaining, hopefully harmless horrible, even when he's comparing women he doesn't find attractive to overripe fruits. He also blessed us with a few lines like, "I don't know if he makes babies like, onsite," while talking about Evan. We don't know how he'll stick around, but we kinda hope Canadian Daniel does. Lace: After leaving last season of The Bachelor to find herself, Lace seems to have succeeded at least a little bit. Her self-seemed to be slightly more found than it used to be, but she did still get caught up by Chad during their quick love/hate session. But maybe she'll turn it around this season, because "everyone's so nice and genuous!" The Twins: We still deeply love Hailey and Emily so we were delighted to learn that as long as one of them gets a rose, both of them stay. Hopefully that means we're in for lots more of their creepy synchronized speaking. Nick: Nick kept a lower profile Tuesday night than he has in the past, and we were pleasantly surprised by the former "villain," whose status as villain is almost laughable now that we've got a Chad. Nick is now the wise one who has twice had his heart ripped through a shredder, so maybe he can even be a helpful mentor to some of the newbies. Jubilee: "I've been to war and back and I can't handle a little freakin' clown!" Turns out Jubilee's really got a thing for Jared, so when she was awarded with the first date card of the season, she asked him immediately (good thing Ashley I's not here yet!). He said yes, and they ended up in a literal nightmare full of clowns and pinatas. We don't know what that was about, but it was awful, and we hated it. That's all. Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

America's Got Talent Contestant Accidentally Shot on Live Television After Flaming Arrow Snafu. Time to hide your eyes behind your fingers because this is one stunt you won't be able to look away from, no matter how terrifying it's about to get. During Tuesday night's episode of America's Got Talent, Canadian comedy daredevil team AmberLynn Walker and Ryan Stock took the stage armed with a handful of props, including a curved sword and an arrow, ready for Stock to...swallow. With a 1950s themed set and coordinating costumes, the fans and judges were distracted from the true danger of what the engaged pair was attempting to accomplish. However, it unfortunately became all too real when, during their finale stunt, error proved life-threatening. After swallowing the base of a lamp, Stock held it in his mouth as his fiancee aimed a flaming arrow at the target stamped on the bottom of the base. Scarily, the arrow narrowly missed the target and hit the daredevil in the neck. Suddenly realizing the stunt had not gone as planned, Stock fished the lamp base out of his mouth and fearfully fanned away at his neck. The judges looked horrified as the audience watched in shock. Not knowing quite what to do next, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B tried to offer some critique of the segment, but they all could not ignore their concern for Stock although he insisted he was fine. Finally, Simon Cowell urged the panel to stop the discussion and implored Stock to seek the help of an emergency medic right away. The stuntman did see the onsite medic, said he was feeling fine and did not request any further treatment. "We had a serious mishap tonight outage live on @nbcagt," he later tweeted. "A very unfortunate mechanical failure but I am very fortunate to walk away from it." Meanwhile, viewers in the audience and at home were stunned. One onlooker told E! News the stunt was "horrifying" to watch. "Retweet if @comedydaredevil has your votes once you've calmed down and stopped freaking out," the show's Twitter account read. "You NEVER know what will happen when #AGT is live." You can say that again! (Eonline)

Before she was the star of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian West made a debut on another hit reality show-The Hills! A decade after the premiere of the hit MTV series, the network revealed unseen footage of Kardashian West's cameo during its 10-year anniversary special Tuesday night, The Hills: That Was Then, This Is Now. As audiences watched Hills star Lauren Conrad explain the behind the scenes drama that stirred throughout six seasons of the reality program, viewers were also given a peek of Kardashian West-who was not yet world-famous-receiving a tour of Heidi Montag's home. "This is our arcade room now," Montag says to Kardashian West in the video. As the duo walks across the living room, Kardashian West says hello to friends at the party and waves: "Hi Frankie, hi Olivia. How are you?" The special then shows the pair standing in front of Montag's aquarium. "What is this?" Kardashian West asks. "These are our jellyfish," Montag is quick to explain. "We're the only people in America to have jellyfish." "This is really cool. No way," Kardashian West excitedly exclaims in the cut scene. The camera then skips to footage of Kardashian West chatting with stepbrother Brody Jenner who also attended the gathering. " What are you doing for Memorial Day?" she asks Jenner. "I don't know yet. Just chill," Jenner replies to Kardashian West, who shares "We're going to Vegas." MTV's cameras then skip to unaired footage of Montag and Kardashian West chatting again. "Are you going to the VMAs," Montag asks. "Yeah I am. I leave for Vegas in the morning," Kardashian West responds. (People)

Progress! Mama June revealed on the mid-season finale of Botched that she lost a whopping 150 pounds in a year -- but she feels there's still work to be done. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum, 36, told doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif that she has some loose skin she wants removed. Additionally, she talked about having excess scar tissue because of four previous C-section surgeries with daughters Alana "Honey Boo Boo," Anna, Lauryn and Jessica. The Botched costars listened intently, but were confused when Mama June opened up about her past procedures. Back then, one of her doctors said that she should have had a tummy tuck after she gave birth. "You don't do that. You would never do a tummy tuck on someone who just delivered a baby," Dubrow said on the Tuesday, August 2, episode. "The uterus is very large ... you could never get the muscles tightened over the uterus, so it's probably the worst time to ever consider a tummy tuck. It's never done." Dubrow and Nassif were even more thrown off when Mama June opened up about the birth of her youngest child, Honey Boo Boo. The star said that her prior physician cut her daughter's forehead during the C-section. "In all of life, I've never heard of a C-section where a scalpel goes too deep and actually slices into the baby's forehead. Or even touches the baby's forehead," Nassif said. "What kind of doctor did this?" Botched airs Tuesdays on E! at 9 p.m. ET.(US Weekly)

Sky, Amazon Team on Roman Invasion Drama 'Britannia'. 'True Detective' star Kelly Reilly will appear in the historical period drama about the Roman Empire's AD43 invasion of Britain, penned by 'Spectre' scriptwriter Jez Butterworth. Amazon is set to head into the world of swords and sandals, having joined forces with U.K. pay-TV broadcaster Sky to produce a major new historic original drama. Britannia is set in 43AD, at the start of the- eventually-successful Roman invasion of Britain, ordered by emperor Claudius (Caesar had tried twice before and failed). The 10-part drama sees the Roman Imperial Army-determined and terrified in equal measure-return to crush the Celtic heart of what was then Britannia, a mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids rumored to be able to channel powerful forces of the underworld. The conquest would eventually lead to the rise of Boudica, queen of the Iceni tribe, who led an uprising against the Romans and would become an icon in British history. Penned by Jez Butterworth, who was among the writers for the latest 007 outing Spectre, Britannia will star Kelly Reilly (True Detective, Calvary), David Morrissey (The Walking Dead, The Hollow Crown), Zoe Wanamaker (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, My Family) and Stanley Weber (Outlander). The series is shooting on location in Prague and Wales and will be available in 2017 on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. and on Sky 1 in the U.K. and Ireland. It was commissioned by Amazon Studios head Roy Price, alongside Sky's head of drama Anne Mensah, commissioning editor, Cameron Roach and director of Sky 1, Adam MacDonald. Vertigo Films' James Richardson (Monsters, Bronson) will executive produce with Pippa Harris and Nicolas Brown from Neal Street Productions (Penny Dreadful, Call the Midwife) and Anne Thomopoulos (Rome, Band of Brothers). It will be produced by Rick McCallum, who produced the Star Wars prequels, while Jez and Tom Butterworth (Fortitude, Tin Star) will lead as writers with Richard McBrien (Spooks, Merlin). "Besides being hard, hard warriors, the Celts have a belief system which makes them almost invincible. It's a deep, heavy magic," said Jez Butterworth. "Last time the Romans tried to invade, the mighty Julius Caesar took one look, turned round and went straight home. Now, almost a century later, the Romans are back. Here we have a war between two pantheons - the Roman gods v the Celtic gods. It's the heavyweight clash of all time, the one which most shapes who we are today." Sky's Mensah described Britannia as "one of the most ambitious dramas" the broadcaster had made. "Jez Butterworth has written an incredible drama that is entertaining and emotional but also asks important questions about what drives men and women to stand and fight," she said. "This is a battle for the heart of Britain like you've never seen before." Sky's international sales arm Sky Vision will handle international distribution rights. WME and Sky Vision negotiated the deal with Amazon. (Hollywood Reporter)
