Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Welcome Baby No. 3 -- See Their Son's Very First Photo. Hilaria and Alec Baldwin have welcomed their third child! The famous duo just made the exciting announcement on Instagram by posting a photo of the newborn snuggled up with his mother. "We are so pleased to introduce you to our new baby, Leonardo Angel Charles Baldwin," Hilaria wrote alongside the sweet family pic. "It was such a special day bringing him into this world." Back in March, the two shared the news that they were expanding their family in a similar fashion. "Ireland, Carmen, Rafael, Alec, and I are excited to share with you that we are going to have another addition to our family," the mother of three captioned the post. "A little boy coming this fall #366daysoflivingclearly #HilariaLCM." Congratulations to the Baldwin family on their latest arrival! (Eonline)

Anahi Is Pregnant With Her First Child. And baby makes three! Singer and actress Anahi confirmed to the world that she and her husband Manuel Velasco Coello are in fact welcoming a baby. The Mexican beauty shared her Caras magazine cover where we see her in a green dress with her hand over her baby bump. "#GodIsSoGood with a lot of happiness we share with all of you this beautiful news. My gift from God," she captioned the photo. Within the last few weeks, several outlets reported the star's pregnancy. But only two weeks ago, Anahi posted a gym selfie, which left her fans to completely confused. It seems the star might have wanted to throw people off about the news. The star married Manuel, who is the governor of Chiapas, Mexico, on April 25, 2015. This will be their first child together. Congratulations to the happy couple on their new addition! (Eonline)

Amanda Seyfried Is Engaged to Thomas Sadoski. Wedding bells are ringing for Amanda Seyfried! E! News has confirmed that the 30-year-old actress is engaged to her boyfriend and Last Word co-star Thomas Sadoski after less than a year of dating. Details surrounding their whirlwind engagement have yet to be released, but a source tells Us Weekly, who first broke the news, "Tommy and Amanda recently got engaged and shared the happy news with family and close friends." The two stars have kept their relationship fairly private with minimal public appearances. However, when they do step out together, they don't exactly shy away from flaunting a little PDA. The two stars were spotted sharing a passionate lip-lock while lunching in Los Angeles at popular organic spot Cheebo back in March, which sealed the deal on those romance rumors at the time. Seyfried and Sadoski began making headlines as a possible new couple alert earlier this year when they were spotted walking back to their trailers together in Pasadena, Calif. The pair first met when they were working together on the off-Broadway show The Way We Get By last year, but things didn't heat up until they reunited for this film. Congratulations to these two lovebirds! (Eonline)

Katy Perry Helps Deliver Her Sister's Baby...Again! At this point, we'd say Katy Perry can officially add "assistant in baby deliveries" to her resume right beside "professional singer." Yes, two years after she helped her older sister Angela Hudson give birth to her first child, the 31-year-old is at it again! She took to Twitter on Monday night and revealed she helped deliver yet another child...all before heading into work late last night. "Helped deliver my sister's baby at 2pm & am in the studio by 8pm," she wrote beside several baby emojis. "GET A GIRL THAT CAN DO BOTH." In 2014, Katy documented a very similar experience after her sister gave birth to her first child. "Finally you can add 'helps delivers babies in living rooms' to my resume! It's been a miracle of a day...Auntie Katy aka Stylist Auntie," the 29-year-old pop star tweeted at the time. Fans also couldn't help but point out that the singer appeared to be foreshadowing the birth with some of her recent social media posts. For example, on Sunday she shared an artsy video about childbirth, writing, "This might be too much but idc." Before that, she was in baby mode when tweeting, "Just went to a child's party and am now dissecting the lyrics to Rosie Posie, Rock A Bye Baby & This Little Piggy," she said. "TBH some f*ed up stuff." Though Katy doesn't have any kiddos of her own, she's talked about starting a family in the past. She stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2011 (while she was still married to Russell Brand) and after the host congratulated her on their first wedding anniversary, the two got to talking about the next step: starting a family. "I would love to have children. I think that's one of the reasons you get married," she said at the time. "Especially to the person that you marry. You think, that person is going to be a good partner, a good parent." So how many kids was she thinking about? "If it doesn't hurt the first time, I'll keep popping them out," she joked with Ellen. The singer and Orlando Bloom haven't gotten there just yet...but we wouldn't mind seeing their mini-me's in the future! Too cute! (Eonline)

Is Lance Bass Still Going to Space? Lance Bass is still shooting for the stars. During an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live Monday, the 37-year-old 'N Sync singer and host of Logo's Finding Prince Charming announced that he still has every intention of traveling to outer space. "I'm very connected with the space community still, privately and NASA," said Bass, whose initial voyage was canceled 14 years ago. "Yes, I still plan to go. I do." So, why didn't Bass ever leave Earth? In October 2002, the Russian Aviation and Space Agency formally notified other space agencies that the singer had been booted off the crew for a Soyuz flight to the international space station. The announcement came after six months of financial negotiations stalled. The Russians grounded Bass because his private backers didn't make a significant payment toward the estimated $20 million cost of his training and flight. Despite the setback, he still completed cosmonaut training at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. In April 2003, Bass told AP Radio the financing would "come" through soon enough, and he would blast off sooner than later. "I mean, somebody's going to want to do a documentary about it, so we'll see," he explained. "We'll put that all together in the next couple of years." The money didn't come through, as he'd predicted Bass has remained grounded ever since. 'N Sync unofficially disbanded around that time, leaving Bass at a crossroads. "When 'N Sync ended -- and I didn't know it was ending -- I didn't know what to do," he told BuzzFeed in a 2014 interview. "I had always been the bass singer of 'N Sync. I didn't know what else I was good at." Bass -- who publicly came out as gay in 2006 -- said his space training was unlike anything he'd ever imagined. "I was so scared the whole entire time that they would figure out that I was gay," he said of his training at the Russian program. "I was always worried that they were going to figure it out at any moment, and kill me. Just come in the middle of the night and kill me." "I lived in old communist Russia -- I wasn't in Moscow -- I was in the 1960s real Russia. So I really got to know them and appreciate their culture, and even then I knew how much they hated gays," he told BuzzFeed. "That was one of the first things I realized, was how much they made fun of it. It scared me how much they talked about it, and how offended they were by gays." During his medical testing prior to training, Bass realized it would be dangerous to come out. "They had to give me a colonoscopy to test everything. They did it. I was completely awake. It was very barbaric -- their medical testing is very barbaric -- and I'm sitting there and they're doing the procedure with lots of doctors in the room," he said. "So I have tears coming down my eyes, because it hurt so badly, and they all start laughing. And I asked my translator, 'Why are they laughing?' and they said, 'Well, they know now that you're not gay.' And they were all laughing because my colonoscopy hurt so much, and they were all happy because I wasn't gay." It'll take some time -- and some money -- before Bass' dream becomes a reality. He understands that some people may scoff at his goals -- Watch What Happens Live's Andy Cohen included. In fact, the host joked Monday, "Sometimes I look up at the stars and I think, "'Is Lance up there?'" "Well, my clothes and experiments are up on the I.S.S. right now. I just didn't make it," Bass said, later explaining that he "had experiments" to conduct at the space station. "They're all up there -- just not me. I was doing studies up there. I was doing blood work and environmental studies at the Delta. I wasn't just going to float around. I was doing some real work up there." (Eonline)

Naya Rivera isn't sorry she and Mark Salling didn't work out, especially after he was busted on child pornography charges. In her memoir, "Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up," Rivera, 29, explains how she learned of the disturbing allegations against her ex. "My son's nanny actually told me about it when the story broke," she wrote. "I can't say I was totally shocked, but still -- WTF? Then I had no doubt that God really did have my back along the way. When Mark dumped me, I thought it was the worst thing ever, but can you imagine if that didn't happen? And I was laying there in bed when the battering ram came through the door?" The former "Glee" co-stars had their first date in 2009, and it didn't bode well for their relationship: Rivera claims that Salling, 34, got stoned in his "complete piece of s–t car" and took her to In-N-Out Burger, then to Fright Fest at Six Flags, where he took a slew of pictures with performers at the park ... and none with her. Still, their showmance blossomed into a full-blown relationship. A month later, Rivera says that Salling convinced her to try ecstasy with him. The couple went on to date for three years, during which Salling told Rivera that his publicist urged him to pretend not to have a girlfriend to preserve his heartthrob image. Rivera agreed to it, but notes, "I had a feeling his pretending to be single had less to do with his publicist and more to do with his d–k." Her suspicions were confirmed when her castmates informed her Salling cheated on her. She called her best friend, Madison, and the pair trashed his car with dog food, Coca-Cola, eggs and bird seed ... but they didn't split for good until Salling dumped her a while later. "For a while, there was drama on set, because we hated each other and I didn't even want him looking at me," she admitted. "Any time a new person was added to the show, it was like fresh meat being dropped into a piranha tank." After her split from Salling, she rebounded with co-star Chord Overstreet briefly, after which point she promptly got over Salling and learned her lessons. Still, that doesn't mean she'd be happy to go through the drama again. "I think everyone should have that one relationship where you look back and ask yourself, 'What the hell was I thinking?' You'll learn something and you won't regret it," she wrote. "Unless, of course, that relationship was with someone who had a sizable stash of child porn on his computer. Then, by all means, regret everything." Rivera married actor Ryan Dorsey in 2014. In 2015, they welcomed their now-11-month-old son, Josey. "Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up" is available Tuesday, September 13. (Page Six)

Ryan Lochte Talks Dancing With the Stars Ambush: It Felt Like Someone Ripped My Heart Out. Ryan Lochte's nerves for hitting the ballroom floor for the first time Monday night were quickly replaced with nerves over an ambush by audience members. As we reported earlier, the Olympic swimmer was rushed by anti-Lochte protesters during the taping of Monday night's Dancing With the Stars premiere when the Olympian and his partner Cheryl Burke were waiting to hear the judges' responses to their performance. While the actual altercation was not aired on television, the commotion was felt by the viewers, whether it was by Carrie Ann Inaba's comments or the slight image of bodies running towards the stage. After the incident (security ended up detaining the men after kicking them out of the show), Lochte spoke to E! News about what happened. "It's hard," he tells E! News' Sibley Scoles, adding that it felt like "someone reached inside and ripped my heart out and stepped on it." An eyewitness tells E! News that men wearing white anti-Lochte T-shirts rushed the stage in what looked to be an attempt to attack the Olympian, but the show's security team made sure nothing happened. The protesters were immediately kicked out from the show to the sound of the crowd booing. "Everyone was freaked out, especially Ryan and Cheryl. They were just frozen the entire time in utter shock," the insider tells us. Host Tom Bergeron cut to commercial break, but upon return, a noticeably shaken Lochte said, "I'm doing good. So many feelings are going through my head right now. A little hurt. I came out here and I wanted to do something I was completely uncomfortable with, and I did." "I'm hurt for Ryan," Cheryl told Tom after the commercial break. "He's sweet, he's kind. He's working his butt off. I hope people give him a chance." (Eonline)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

The art that became the iconic poster for "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is hittin' the auction block, and it ain't gonna be cheap ... as in you'll have to trade in a car -- or 2 or 3 -- just to make a bid. Heritage Auctions is selling the original art piece, which was painted by famed artist John Alvin -- who's also done art for "Star Wars," "The Goonies," "Blazing Saddles" and a bunch of other hit movies. We're told it should rake in $150,000 ... at the bare minimum. At first, the piece belonged to Hollywood producer Bob Bendetson, who got it directly from Universal Studios years ago. It was hanging in his office for years, but now that his wife's turning that into a guest room -- he's ditching 'E.T.' The artwork goes on the block October 12th. If you're on a budget, there's always the knockoff poster. (TMZ)

Candace Cameron Bure's Daughter Natasha Bure Makes Her Runway Debut at New York Fashion Week. Natasha Bure is more than ready to runway. While New York Fashion Week brings out more than few veteran models, it also brings out some pretty impressive newbies such as Candace Cameron Bure's daughter. As Sherri Hill debuted her Spring 2017 collection Monday afternoon, Natasha stepped out in two signature looks. Her first outfit was a knee-length rose-printed dress that featured a dark matching lip. For her second look, the model wore a strapless, multi-print gown that sparkled on the stage. Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Alli Simpson were also spotted at the show that featured a surprise appearance from Team USA gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman. "Hey guys," the gold medalists shared on social media moments before taking their seats. "We're so excited to be at the show tonight." Although Natasha just graduated from high school a few short months ago, the famous daughter already has plenty to look forward to career wise. In previews for the new season of The Voice, fans learned that the 18-year-old will appear in the blind auditions where one judge is expected to turn his or her's chair. She's also partnered with her mom to be a part of the 31bits Designers & Inspirers Campaign where they created jewelry pieces for a good cause. "They not only reflect our individual styles. But complement each other as well!" Candace shared on Instagram. "We're so honored to team up with such an awesome cause!" Safe to say Natasha is just getting started in the fashion world. (Eonline)

The Brady Bunch's Florence Henderson Surprises TV Daughter Maureen McCormick During Dancing With the Stars Premiere. Now here's a story about an adorable Brady reunion! Monday night has marked the official launch of Dancing With the Stars' 23rd season, and we've already gone through a whirlwind of emotions, especially when one extremely precious moment happened between a special TV mother-daughter duo that you probably remember. After completing the Viennese Waltz to Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel," Maureen McCormick, who famously played Marcia Brady on the 1969 sitcom The Brady Bunch, had a tearful and sweet moment with her onscreen mom Florence Henderson (Carol Brady), who was cheering her on from the audience. "You were fabulous," Henderson, 82, told McCormick with tears in her eyes. "I'm so proud." An emotional McCormick returned to host Tom Bergeron after stealing a quick hug and sweet kisses on the cheek from Florence, and told him, "I love her...This is such a dream. It doesn't feel real. It's just so amazing to be on this set. I'm honestly just so thrilled that I'm here and being given this opportunity." The TV star, who was paired with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev for this season, were given a 22 out of 40 for their performance. (Eonline)

When Taylor Swift crashes a date, she does it with style-and wears a dress from her BFF's New York Fashion Week collection. The newly single pop star was spotted leaving Gigi Hadid's N.Y.C. apartment along with the model and her boyfriend Zayn Malik on Tuesday. Swift, 26, donned the starry-print maxi silk dress from Hadid's Tommy x Gigi collaboration. Tom Hiddleston's ex-girlfriend accentuated her waist with the white nautical rope as seen on the runway, but put her own accents to the ensemble with brown wedge sandals and a tan leather crossbody. Swift may have nabbed her favorite looks from Tommy Hilfiger's see-now-buy-now show after seeing the clothes front row at Pier 16 on Friday. The singer was one of Gigi's loudest cheerleaders during the presentation joining Martha Hunt and Anwar Hadid in a sing-along to Calvin and Rihanna's "This Is What We Came For"-the same song Swift co-wrote during her 15-month relationship with the EDM DJ. And many of Gigi's fashion friends modeled pieces on the runway. Josephine Skriver, Devon Windsor and Taylor Hill-all who've shared the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway with Swift-were just some of the beauties strutting their stuff. Tommy Girl Hailey Baldwin also hit the catwalk. (People)

Is Rob Kardashian saying "so long" to California-or is he just joking? On Monday, the father-to-be claimed that he wants to move out of L.A., posting an Instagram photo of a massive mansion in which he boasted about leaving California. "Just closed the deal on my new house and can't wait to move out of CALI!" he wrote. "AMERICA!!!!!" The photo showed an aerial view of a what appears to be a $65 million Hamptons mansion. It is unclear whether the reality star -- with a new reality show, a baby on the way and a wedding to plan -- really means to move across the country or whether he's just goofing off. But the photo indicates the home was listed by The Corcoran Group, a New York-based real estate agency with high-priced listings in New York City, The Hamptons and South Florida. It appears to show the historic Normandy House in Southampton, New York. The 8,000-square-foot home includes nine bedrooms, eight-and-a-half baths and a formal dining room. The 8.32-acre grounds feature tennis courts, a two-bedroom guest cottage, a heated pool and 400 feet of beach-front property. The Corcoran Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE. The post comes just two days after Kardashian and his fiancee Blac Chyna celebrated the premiere of their new show Rob & Chyna, in which they announced the sex of their baby. "We having a girl!!!!" Kardashian later wrote in an Instagram post. "Can't wait to see her." Chyna, 28, later shared an ultrasound photo of the little girl on Instagram, writing, "@robkardashian and I can't wait to meet out baby girl." (People)

Team Bethenny really puts the "dirty" into a dirty tricks campaign, according to a source. Insiders claim that Bethenny Frankel's supporters are spreading (very) filthy lies about "Real Housewives" rival LuAnn de Lesseps. An anonymous tipster tried to fool Page Six into believing de Lesseps and fiance Thomas D'Agostino slipped into a bathroom stall in NYC's Regency Hotel, where the sketchy "source" claimed that de Lesseps performed an unspeakable sex act on him for 45 minutes, while "audible moans" and "whispering in French" could be heard. Sources close to de Lesseps claim that Frankel's allies are behind the tasteless tale. Frankel's feud with de Lesseps exploded again the Bravo show after Frankel revealed that D'Agostino kissed another woman, and de Lesseps returned fire by claiming that Frankel hooked up with her now-boyfriend, Dennis Shields, before he was separated from his wife, which Frankel denies. De Lesseps told us she was away at a funeral in Philadelphia when the fantasy tryst was supposed to have taken place, adding: "Obviously a desperate attempt by the Housewives camp to ruin my reputation and my upcoming marriage. Not going to happen! It's really sad how desperate these women can be. I think the show should be renamed 'The Desperate Housewives.'" A rep for Frankel didn't comment. (Page Six)

Closeted gays and lesbians in Hollywood are breathing a sigh of relief with the death of Alexis Arquette, the gender-fluid sibling of Rosanna, David and Patricia Arquette. Alexis, who died Sunday at 47 after a long illness, had been approached several times to write a tell-all book, and was considering the most recent offers. "She told me she was gearing up, and it was draining her because she knew she could blow the lid off a lot of closeted gay men and women and their respective marriages," one friend told me. "She said, 'I'm not quite ready for that kind of battle. But when I do write my book, and uncover all the hypocrisy, this town will come to a stop.'" An activist for transgender rights, Alexis made headlines in January with a Facebook post (deleted afterward) blasting Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, the day after Jada announced that she was boycotting the Oscars. "When Jada comes out as gay and her beard husband admits his first marriage ended when she walked in [on] him . . . servicing his Sugar Daddy .?.?. then I will listen to them," Arquette wrote, adding that "outing was healthy." Will's ex, Sheree, has refuted Arquette's claims, and the Smiths have never addressed them. Alexis had roles in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills" and "Pulp Fiction," and starred as herself in the 2007 documentary "Alexis Arquette: She's My Brother." "She was a terrific writer," her friend said. "We possibly lost the best Hollywood tell-all ever." (Page Six)

The highly anticipated Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is known to fly its annual catwalk around in various cities around the globe, may be taking its 2016 show to chicer shores... Women's Wear Daily reports that the lingerie brand will be holding its next show in Paris. Très chic. The show is usually held in the brand's home of New York, though lucky cities around the world are often picked to host. Back in 2014 they held it over here in London and it was the best thing since the Olympics. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid made their VS debuts last year and we're hoping they'll be re-donning their wings for this year's show. While Angel veterans Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel are sure to be out of the line-up this year owing to their imminent new babies. We wonder if there'll be any additional angels replacing them? Our predictions are on Bella Hadid and/or Hailey Baldwin... (British Glamour)

Brandi Glanville In Trouble With The IRS For Not Paying Over $100K In Taxes! Brandi Glanville is in trouble with Uncle Sam! According to TMZ, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been hit with a federal tax lien for owing $112K over the course of two years. Yikes! That's no small change. Reportedly, the 43-year-old failed to pay $29,396.35 in 2013 and then $82,448.38 in 2014 -- which just so happen to be the first two years she appeared as a main housewife on RHOBH. Hopefully the Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast host can write this all off with a check... or at least a couple payments! (Perez Hilton)

The man that was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday for hacking into celebrity email accounts is bragging to inmates he's got more where that came from, and he's going to write a book. According to federal guidelines, Alonzo Knowles faces up to 33 months in prison for his cybercrime. Prosecutors have been leaning on him to give up his computer, possibly in return for a lighter sentence. But, according to new legal docs filed by the U.S. Attorney, Knowles won't play ball. The U.S. Attorney claims Knowles has told his brother, and other prisoners, the computer has great value and it's worth spending an extra year in jail in return for getting rich off a book chronicling celebrity secrets. The legal docs say Knowles told his brother, "Yo, when I get out dog, I'm going to be a millionaire dog, trust me when I say that ... I'm gonna be rich as hell." Prosecutors are asking the judge to impose a harsher sentence than provided by federal guidelines because Knowles has shown no remorse. (TMZ)

Music

Shakira and Maluma Tease Fans About a Possible Collaboration. Maluma and Shakira making music together? Yes, please! The Colombian artists are coming together, and our ears can't wait to hear what they're musical magic they're brewing together. "Get ready for what we're cooking in the studio @maluma," the 39-year-old star captioned the photo of herself alongside the 22-year-old singer. And we're more than ready, Shak! Last month, Carlos Vives and Shakira premiered "La Bicicleta" remix with Maluma, and it's everything we wanted. The original song bowed at number one on the Latin Airplay Chart, which is quite an accomplishment. The Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy artist also shared some teaser photos of his own with Shakira only titling one of the pictures, "What you see, shouldn't be asked about." The "Hips Don't Lie Singer" recently gave us a behind-the-scenes look at one of her studio session where we heard seconds of her new music. We can't wait to get our hands on whatever these two are creating. (Eonline)

Monica Discusses Decades-Long Feud With Brandy and Whether She'd Ever Work With Her Again. Remember the dynamic duo that brought us the Grammy-winning hit "This Boy Is Mine" in 1998 and subsequently broke out hearts by having a falling out and going their separate ways shortly thereafter? Yes, Monica and Brandy still don't consider themselves friends after almost 20 years ago, but that doesn't mean there's still beef...at least not for Monica. The 35-year-old singer joined The Real and dished on her feelings regarding Brandy and their so-called feud. "There was a fan that sent a tweet to Brandy and asked her, 'Would you do the #SoGoneChallenge?' And she said 'Child, bye!'" Loni Love explained, regarding Monica's Twitter challenge and starting the conversation. Monica smiled, "I'll tell you on the real, I'm not bothered at all... Honestly, the old me and the new me are two different things," she said. "This journey of self-progression and self-love and empowerment that I'm on, I can't go backward. I think that was just a test from God for me." She continued, going as far as praising Brandy in saying, "I've always thought that she's one of the most legendary people and has one of the most amazing voices... And I just think that some of it's been blown out of proportion to a degree. But I can't tell my kids to do something that I can't do. So it was just a test for me to always just take the high-road and know that anything that's meant for you in this life is yours and nobody can stop you or stand in the way of it. So I wasn't bothered at all." But would she ever consider working with Brandy again? "I would work with her again," she admitted. "It's never been an easy situation, but the reason I would do it is because we are from a special elite group. It was her, Aaliyah and myself. It was a very special time where each of us was individuals. We did our own thing, and we all made our won mark. And the truth and reality of it is, the only Grammy either of us has is together. So yeah I absolutely would." Meanwhile, Brandy reportedly responded to Monica's discussion on The Real, taking to Instagram in a now-deleted post to throw some shade. A few Twitter users captured screenshots before the post disappeared in which Brandy wrote, "#Inspire is the only reason #IAm," and then started hinting at the feud by adding, "Hey Hey Hey, #IKnowTHEREALStoryThatEverybodyDoesntKnow," the singer's post continued. "#NewKeyOnKeyNewMeOnMe #MissSubstance #PositivityIsTheOneThingYouShouldNotFake." (Eonline)

Kanye West might want to rethink his floating stage idea ... a fan tried climbing it to get a bird's-eye view. Kanye was performing in Atlanta Monday for his Saint Pablo Tour, when an eager fan got boosted up high enough to reach the bottom of the stage ... which he then climbed. The guy doesn't get very far ... at Kanye's insistence. Floating above fans ... no one man should have all that power. (TMZ)

Lil Wayne is finally gonna tell the world if he really plans to make good on his threats to retire from music. Weezy is all set to appear on "Undisputed" on FS1 -- where Skip Bayless will ask him straight-up if he's hanging up the mic for good ... as he hinted on social media earlier this month. Of course, the legendary rapper has been at war with Birdman -- who he claims owes him millions of dollars and has been holding his never been released album, "Tha Carter V," hostage. Wayne's been so pissed off over the situation, he's been following Drake from city to city -- where he's been jumping onstage and screaming, "F*** Cash Money." But the real scare came when a clearly frustrated Weezy tweeted, "I am now defenseless and mentally defeated & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun." Rap fans freaked out ... and huge stars begged him to reconsider ... and the next day, he sort of backpedaled. But now we're finally gonna get our answer once and for all ... when Weezy sits down on "Undisputed" at 9:30 AM ET, 6:30 AM PT on Tuesday ... don't miss it. (TMZ)

One half of LMFAO is sounding off at the other claiming despite family ties he's been left in the dust. Sky Blu posted a scathing letter on Facebook about Redfoo, who's also his uncle, calling him out for ditching him after he suffered a debilitating back injury. Sky, who now goes by 8ky, is trying to drop his new solo LP but says Redfoo's lawyers fired off a letter saying he gets zero LMFAO royalties ... money he needs to underwrite his album. He says he's also been unsuccessful getting his share of money held up by Rick Ross' lawsuit against the group. 8ky claims Redfoo pushed him out of LMFAO and "just kept shuffling everyday without me," going as far as using their trademark party rock theme on his own solo LP. 8ky also sounded off on their label, Interscope, saying it needs to "stop treating artist like cows and chickens and using them for all they can produce and then just discard them without a care." It's kinda history repeating itself. They're both blood related to Berry Gordy, founder of Motown ... a label that had its fair share of royalty fights. (TMZ)

'Narcos' Season 2 Thrusts Rodrigo Amarante's 'Tuyo' Back Onto Charts. The theme song's Rodrigo Amarante is currently showcasing his non-Netflix repertoire on tour. Brazilian singer-songwriter Rodrigo Amarante's "Tuyo" was nominated for a 2016 Emmy after it became known to Netflix viewers as the theme song for the Pablo Escobar drama Narcos during the show's first season. Now Narcos is back (season two became available Sept. 2), and so is the song: "Tuyo" lands at No. 5 this week on Billboard's Latin Digital Songs Chart, where it first landed in 2015; it debuts at No. 40 on Hot Latin Songs. Amarante is currently on a solo tour, showcasing his socially introspective non-Netflix indie rock repertoire (although at his concerts he's bound to treat fans to a little "Tuyo"); electro-acoustic jewels included on the multi-lingual artist's solo album Cavalo. After stops in South America, Amarante will play a string of intimate dates in the U.S, and Canada, whose far-flung venues reflect the exposure he's received from the show. He starts the North American shows off on Sept. 21 at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA, and wraps up Oct. 1 at the Grey Eagle Tavern in Asheville, NC. (Billboard)

Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan & More Are 2016 CMT Artists of the Year. Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Thomas will be named this year's CMT artists of the year at the 2016 CMT Artists of the Year special, premiering from Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. EST.

Jay Z, Coldplay, Bollywood Stars to Headline Global Citizen India Concert. Just like the annual Global Citizen Festival in New York, a majority of the tickets for the Mumbai concert are being offered free in exchange for performing social tasks related to education, equality and sanitation. Jay Z, Coldplay and top Bollywood stars will share the stage at the first Global Citizen Festival, which will be held in Mumbai on Nov. 19. The event will mirror the annual Global Citizen Festival held in Central Park, New York, where free tickets are earned by performing various social tasks. The event will see the first-ever performances in India by Jay Z and Coldplay. The band's frontman Chris Martin visited the country before, performing unannounced last July at a club in Delhi, which caused a social media frenzy while sparking rumors of a possible Coldplay concert. Martin returned with Coldplay later to film the video for "Hymn For the Weekend" in Mumbai. After registering on the Global Citizen India web site, users can earn reward points in return for performing tasks in support of education, equality and sanitation campaigns. These include the likes of signing online petitions to Indian politicians and even to organizations such as the World Bank. The points can then be redeemed for free tickets. The India concert is being held on World Toilet Day to highlight the issue of sanitation in the country. Following an initial announcement last week confirming Coldplay on the lineup, organizers have now revealed further details, confirming Jay Z and major Bollywood stars on the roster, including Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, who was part of the announcement press conference, will also grace the event for which the lineup includes actors Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar along with actresses Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor Khan, among others. The likes of Rahman and actor-singers like Akhtar could be expected to perform while others may host segments for the event. While a majority of the tickets are being offered free, some will also go on sale from Sept. 15 when ticket prices will be revealed. The concert's India partners include Viacom18 Networks. The event will be managed by Wizcraft Entertainment which has promoted major gigs in the past including Michael Jackson's 1996 performance in Mumbai. Last year, Martin visited India as part of a delegation with the Global Poverty Project, which is associated with the Global Citizen non-profit. In addition to visiting some development projects along with fellow delegate actress Freida Pinto, Martin also met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to discuss issues related to sanitation, hygiene and water. During his first state visit to the U.S. in 2014, Modi briefly addressed the crowd at the Global Citizen Festival at Central Park. This year's edition will be held on Sept. 24 where hosts include Bollywood and Quantico star Priyanka Chopra, Salma Hayek Pinault, Chelsea Handler, Deborra Lee and Hugh Jackman, among others. The performers include Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato, Major Lazer and Metallica with guest appearances by Chris Martin, Eddie Vedder, Usher and Ellie Goulding, among others.

Kesha Confirms New 'F*ck Off' Duet With 'Grammy Award Winning' Artist... See Why Everyone Thinks It's Taylor Swift! This seems like a bit of a stretch... but we're all for it! Now that Kesha is slowly making her way back to music, she needs to focus her sights on the next chapter following her F*ck the World Tour. Luckily, it sounds like the Kesha and the Creepies frontwoman is already back in songwriting mode... because she's teasing a superstar collaboration with a surprise, Grammy-winning artist! The 29-year-old pop star first alerted fans to her musical endeavor on Monday, calling the duet a "F*ck off song," saying: So how exactly does that have anything to do with Taylor Swift?? Well, apparently, TayTay's favorite number has been 13 ever since an interview with MTV way back in 2009, and -- since that's clearly Level 1 Swiftie knowledge -- her fans were quick to pick up on Kesha's use of 13 emojis in the post! Sure, there are a dozen other potential partners for Kesha to be working with, but we're gonna keep our fingers crossed for this one! At least we know one thing for sure: It won't be Katy Perry...

Matthew McConaughey Almost Unrecognizable in Gold, Gained Close to 50 Pounds for the Movie. Matthew McConaughey is giving Christian Bale a run for his money in the body transformation department. McConaughey won an Oscar after dropping to 135 pounds to play a man with AIDS in Dallas Buyers Club. He put on major muscle to play a ripped and buff (and very tan) stripper in Magic Mike. And now comes Gold. McConaughey is shockingly bald and fat for in the upcoming drama thriller, packing on almost 50 pounds to play a man who has a run-in with the FBI and the Indonesian military after finding gold in the jungles of Borneo. "I got up to 217," he told me at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Sing. "So I was at 135 for Dallas. It wasn't like I went 135 to 217 but I went from 170 to 217." Yup, 47 pounds! "Cheeseburgers and beer," McConaughey said. "It was outstanding." He added with a big smile, "It was a soft 217." You can see that softness in all its fleshy glory in the first trailer for the movie -- McConaughey is shown on a bed in a pair of underwear with his robe wide open. Gold, which opens Dec. 25, co-stars Edgar Ramirez, Bryce Dallas Howard and Corey Stoll. In Sing, McConaughey plays a koala bear named Buster Moon, a theater owner who puts together an American Idol-like singing competition to try to save his musical playhouse from going under. Yes, he even does a little singing of "Call Me Maybe" in the flick, in theaters on Dec. 21. (E! News and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.) (Eonline)

Fifty Shades Darker's First Trailer Debuts With a Masked Dakota Johnson and Fireworks. Intrigued? You bet! It's been over a year since we last crossed paths with Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) and Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) on the silver screen, but in a matter of minutes, the new trailer for the film's sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, has swept us right back into their dark and twisted fantasy world. Released Tuesday, the clip offers fans of the infamous franchise a new look at what's in store for the second installment of Christian and Ana's romance. The first film ended with a closing elevator door and a heartbroken Ana. With two other movies already in the books, we knew the hot-and-cold couple couldn't stay apart for too much longer -- and this trailer is proof of that. The actors reunited off of the silver screen to thanks fans for their social media support after reaching 10 million followers on Facebook. "We can't wait for you to join us in theaters and see it," Dornan said into the camera. While we don't want to give away too much about the plot of the forthcoming sequel, as can be deduced from the trailer, Ana comes face to face with a crucial person in Christian's life while attending a Masquerade Ball at his mother's house -- a meeting that ignites some personal flames (and not the romantic kind). While the first film was an introduction into the protagonists' romance and bedroom behavior, the second is packed with new characters and major conflict, including two newcomers to the BDSM-filled world, Kim Basinger and Bella Heathcote. Basinger will turn heads as the Mrs. Robinson-esque seductress, Elena Lincoln, while Heathcote has taken on the role of Leila Williams, one of Christian's former submissives who is suffering a mental breakdown. With two exes in the mix, Ana and Christian's dynamic is bound to get a bit messy. After all, as the trailer forebodes, viewers should prepare to "slip into something a shade darker." While you mull over whatever that cryptic message might mean, mark your calendars -- the red room returns to the big screen on Valentine's Day. (Eonline)

4 stars (out of 4). Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are going to the Oscars in 2017. And, fingers crossed, they'll be singing and dancing. The two are absolutely dazzling in their latest collaboration, La La Land. A gorgeous and magnificent homage to the golden age of Hollywood musicals in the 1950s, the film has the sheer power to make audiences laugh, weep and feel like they can float on air. It premiered Monday, September 12, at the Toronto International Film Festival. (The release date is December 2.) La La Land has a double meaning here, serving as both the oft-used nickname for the palm tree and movie star oasis that is Los Angeles and a usage of musical notes. Yes, this is a City of Angels in which people break into song as a natural reflex. Writer-director Damien Chazelle(Whiplash) sets the tone in the opening scene as L.A. residents stuck in traffic on the freeway perform in a smashing, smiling number. Close up on Mia (Stone), a barista on the Warner Bros. studio lot and aspiring actress. Every day, she looks out on the set once used in Casablanca and dreams of seeing receiving that "You got the part!" phone call. She just can't catch a break. (Though that "Dangerous Minds Meets The O.C." TV show callback seems promising, maybe?) She finds her equal in Sebastian (Gosling), an underachieving musician who longs to open up his own jazz club. He wants everyone to appreciate the dying musical genre as much as he does. They have a few chance encounters before an official "meet cute" at a party. They share an instant chemistry. One thing leads to another and the two fall into . . .in 99 percent of other movies, the rest of that sentence would be "bed." In this kind of special film, they express their mutual attraction by flirtatiously tap dancing -- as the city glows in the background. A loving, supportive romance follows, as does a hilarious Kenny G reference. Just on looks and sound alone, the film could air on Turner Classic Movies tomorrow and not seem out of place. The production design is stunning, as a sea of bright colors burst in every frame. In one early number, Mia and her female roommates each wear a bright hue as they prepare for a night on the town. (Stone opts for blue.) The visual of the girls dancing on the street together is striking, while the music is instantly hummable. The key difference here is that the talented Chazelle doesn't settle for a breezy story in which his two leads waltz their way into the California sunset. He steeps his characters in real life, and in real life, things aren't always as fantastical as they appear in the movies. Mia and Sebastian are both pursuing lifelong artistic endeavors though they're well aware that big success will probably doom the relationship. Even as they push each other creatively and cheer for each other (Sebastian inspires Mia to write a one-woman show; Mia devises a name for Sebastian's club), they grapple with the give-and-take dynamic. With Gosling and Stone in the roles, the couple's chemistry takes on magical proportions. They don't recreate that Dirty Dancing lift from Crazy Stupid Love -- only the best scene in the whole movie -- but they do move with that same light comedic touch. (Their duets are so charming that the actor's less-than-stellar vocal stylings are forgiven). Both stars, with four Oscar nominations between them, excel in their tender moments as well. Stone in particular is a revelation. Moonlighting on Broadway in Cabaret a few years back has paid off big time: She lights up the screen, notably in a heartbreaking solo number during one of her auditions. As she gazes at Gosling with those vivid big eyes, she truly embodies the look of an old-school starlet. Hollywood doesn't make these kinds of movies anymore. But now that franchise sequels-and-spinoff fatigue has set in, here's hoping more original charmers are on the way. If so, that would be music to everyone's ears. (US Weekly)

It was just a matter of time before Mel Gibson got to shove it in Hollywood's collective face ... according to Mickey Rourke. Mickey was leaving Prime Cutts in L.A. (a carnivore's delight, btw) when we asked him about Mel getting a standing O for "Hacksaw Ridge" ... the new military flick he directed. Rourke was not at all shocked, and says Gibson's just joining a list of talented guys Hollywood tried like hell to crush, but ultimately had to welcome back to the fold for one reason. And also the trailer -- which is really interesting because Mel didn't put his own name in it. He's clearly aware he's made enemies. (TMZ)

Ewan McGregor Selected to Receive Humanitarian Award at 2016 British Academy Britannia Awards. "Ewan McGregor is not only a multitalented individual, but has led by example in showing that even one person can make a huge difference in the life of a child," said Kieran Breen, chairman of BAFTA Los Angeles. Ewan McGregor, who just screened his directorial debut American Pastoral at the Toronto International Film Festival, has secured his first honor during the upcoming awards season: The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles will present the actor-filmmaker with the Britannia Humanitarian Award at this year's British Academy Britannia Awards. The annual gala is scheduled for Oct. 28 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Hosted by British actor and comedian Jack Whitehall, the event will also feature honorees Ang Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Ricky Gervais. TV and event production company Done + Dusted will produce the ceremony. The Britannia Humanitarian Award is presented to an industry name "who has used the art form of the moving image or their position in the entertainment industry to create positive social change, and actively shine a light on important humanitarian issues," according to the organization. Previous recipients include Idris Elba, Richard Curtis, Don Cheadle, Colin Firth, Mark Ruffalo and Orlando Bloom. McGregor follows in their footsteps based on the work that he has done on behalf of UNICEF, having recently traveled to northern Iraq to see how the conflicts sweeping across Iraq and Syria are affecting the lives of children. "Ewan McGregor is not only a multitalented individual, but has led by example in showing that even one person can make a huge difference in the life of a child," said Kieran Breen, chairman of BAFTA Los Angeles. "Given his most recent work in Iraq, and ongoing commitment to the fight against the horrific conditions in which children there are living, he is most deserving of this honor." McGregor, who was born in Perth, Scotland, can be seen in American Pastoral, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Philip Roth. He will star in the film opposite Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning. Lionsgate will release the film Oct. 21. (Hollywood Reporter)

Oscars: Serbia Selects 'Train Driver's Diary' for Foreign-Language Category. Miloš Radovic' drama is focused on a train driver approaching retirement. The Serbian/Croatian co-production Dnevnik masinovodje (Train Driver's Diary), directed by Milos Radovic, has been selected as the Serbian Academy of Film Arts and Science's submission in the best foreign-language category of the Academy Awards. The movie centers on Ilija, a 60-year-old train driver close to retirement. Ilija has to deal with the fact that he holds an infamous record of 28 people accidentally killed during his career, while he prepares his 19-year-old adopted son Sima to follow in his footsteps. Train Driver's Diary won the audience's award at the Moscow film festival and a special mention at the Palic Film Festival earlier this year. Lazar Ristovski stars in the film and produced it through Zillion Film in collaboration with Interfilm, with the support of Film Center Serbia and the Croatian Audiovisual Centre. Incidentally, Ristovski has the distinction of also co-producing and appearing in this year's Croatian Oscar submission On the Other Side. The country has regularly submitted movies, but a Serbian film has never been nominated for or won the foreign-language Oscar. (Hollywood Reporter)

Glee Star Joins American Horror Story Season 6. American Horror Story is looking a little more gleeful this season. Glee star Jacob Artist is set to join the FX hit's upcoming sixth season, the actor revealed on Instagram on Monday. "Day 1," Artist simply captioned a photo of a script for AHS, making sure to block out the subtitle for the new season, which premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 14. In a first for the anthology series, the season's theme has yet to be revealed, with fake teasers being released in order keep the mystery alive. So yeah, details on who (or maybe what?!) Artist will be playing? We've got nothin'! Artist joined AHS creator Ryan Murphy's Glee in its fourth season as Jake Puckerman, the younger brother of Puck (Mark Salling), and has since gone on to appear on ABC's Quantico. Other Glee-bies who've also made the scary jump to AHS include Darren Criss who made a memorable (and deadly) appearance during the most recent outing, Hotel, as well as one-time Glee guest star Matt Bomer, who starred in Hotel. The only confirmed cast members for the mysterious sixth season of AHS (seriously, what is the theme?!) are Sarah Paulson, Lady Gaga, Evan Peters and Angela Bassett. As for the secrecy regarding the season's theme? "They went out and made many more trailers than you've actually seen for...different genres and different places," FX president John Landgraf said. "I just love it on an artistic level. One of them is accurate, the others are all misdirects." American Horror Story's sixth season premieres Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. on FX. (Eonline)

So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation Crowns a Winner. There were four remaining dancers heading into the finale of So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation: a.k.a. four kids who can dance you under the table any day of the week. But which of the quartet managed to beat out everyone else to take home the SYTYCD season 13 title: Leon "Kida" Burns, J.T. Church, Emma Hellenkamp, or Tate McRae? In the end, Kida was crowned the winner, and, at just 14 years old, is the youngest-ever person to hold the title of America's Favorite Dancer. Once his name was announced, his fellow Next Generation dancers crashed the stage to celebrate as confetti fell. Yes, it was pretty darn adorable. When E! News caught up with host extraordinaire Cat Deeley at Fox's Television Critics Association 2016 summer press tour, she told us that she, too, was skeptical that this season would feature kids. "It definitely is different. I'm actually really enjoying it in a way I never, ever, ever thought I would," she confessed. She continued, "I was literally like, 'This isn't going to work! A, they're not going to be good enough, and B, they're going to be so precocious and dreadful and awful that I'm going to want to kick them in the shins on a regular basis.' And I was wrong on both accounts." Deeley, who is mom to son Milo, born in January, said she was incredibly impressed with every single one of the show's young competitors. "They're blow-your-mind amazing -- equally on par with the All-Stars," she told us. (Eonline)

Producers of the Blac Chyna/Rob Kardashian reality show are teasing viewers that Chyna underwent a paternity test while she was pregnant because she doubted Rob's the dad, but it's all made up. The tease shows Chyna demanding a paternity test and there's a shot of her with a needle in her arm ... it makes it seem like she herself is saying she was sleeping with multiple guys. However, production sources tell us the needle is for a routine blood test ... NOT a paternity test. We're also told she has made it clear ... Rob's the only guy who could possibly be the dad. In fact, we're told Chyna and Rob planned the pregnancy almost from the get-go. They tried for several weeks to do the deed before she actually got pregnant, despite the fact they only dated each other for a minute. Chyna actually did tell Rob at one point he might not be the father, but did it "to get under his skin because she was pissed off at him." (TMZ)

The Big Bang Theory's Wedding Portrait Will Give You All the Feels. The gang's all here in the season 10 premiere of The Big Bang Theory. And we mean allllll here. As Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) plan to renew their vows in the season opener, they'll be facing all manner of family drama thanks to the whopping six family members in attendance. Not only will returning guest stars Christine Baranski (Leonard's mom, Beverly), Laurie Metcalf (Sheldon's mom, Mary), Judd Hirsch (Leonard's dad, Alfred), and Keith Carradine (Penny's dad, Wyatt) be on hand, but Katey Sagal and Jack McBrayer will add to the insanity as Penny's anxiety-ridden mom Susan and drug-dealing brother Randall, respectively. And CBS has just released the first look photos of the landmark episode. In the premiere, the big day is made awkward for everyone thanks to Sheldon's mom and Leonard's dad having spent the previous night together. Of course, the debut of Penny's family drama doesn't help matters. "Penny's close with her dad," executive producer Steve Molaro told EW. "As we know, her brother Randall has been a bit of trouble over the years, selling drugs and being in and out of jail, and that's put a lot of stress on her mom. You will pick up on the tensions between her mother and her brother very quickly, and you get a glimpse of Penny and her dad being caught in the middle of that." Though the episode is rich in guest stars (Breaking Bad alum Dean Norris also pops up as an Air Force rep interested in Leonard and Sheldon's quantum gyroscope), the 22 minute episode length (give or take a minute) means it's going to be limited screen time for all those visiting stars. But Molaro hopes to bring newbies Sagal and McBrayer back for another, less crowded episode. "Now that they are officially members of the Big Bang family," he told TVLine, "we would love to have them come back so we can service them with more time and energy than we could in the premiere." The Big Bang Theory premieres Monday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. on CBS. (Eonline)

Kirstie Alley Joins Scream Queens Season 2. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the latest royalty to join Scream Queens season two: Kirstie Alley, who is joining the cast as a series regular alongside fellow newcomers John Stamos, Taylor Lautner and James Earl. The Scream Queens action moves from a college campus to a hospital, where the returning cast -- including Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Glen Powell and Niecy Nash -- will face a new funny/scary mystery. Alley will play a "brilliant and devious administrator" at the C.U.R.E. Institute, an institution where the most fascinating and bizarre medical cases are observed. The actress is no stranger to television, obviously, most recently having guest-starred on ABC's The Middle, TV Land's Hot in Cleveland, and Will Arnett's Netflix comedy Flaked. Her TV Land sitcom Kirstie ran for one season from 2013-2014, and her satire Fat Actress, where she played a fictional version of herself, aired on Showtime in 2005. Veronica's Closet ran from 1997-2000, and, of course, her stint on Cheers lasted from 1987 to 1993. "Right away we get into some romance on the show," Stamos teased to our own Erin Lim when the cast stopped by the E! News Comic-Con suite in July. Saturday Night Live star Cecily Strong and your favorite Arrow and Teen Wolf vet Colton Haynes also guest star this season. "When they got there it just made sense," Roberts told us of Stamos and Lautner joining. "It's like six degrees of separation on Scream Queens. We all know each other in some weird way, which is so fun." Scream Queens season two premieres Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. on Fox. (Eonline)

New footage has emerged of the tense moments on Monday's Dancing with the Stars-where two men rushed the stage in protest after Ryan Lochte's inaugural performance on the reality dancing completion. ABC News released the clips on Good Morning America Tuesday, before speaking with host Tom Bergeron. In one video, protesters Sam Sododeh, 48, and Brazeen Soroudi, 40, can be seen storming the ballroom floor wearing anti-Lochte shirts. They're heard screaming "You're a liar" before security quickly tackles down. Both men-each from Los Angeles-were arrested and booked for the misdemeanor of trespassing, the LAPD confirmed to ABC News. Four women who were yelling anti-Lochte chants during the show's commercial break were also escorted from the audience. Pro Derek Hough can be seen yelling at the protesters to "get out of here" in another video released Tuesday. "This is a good show-a positive show," he said in the clip. "This is my home and I was just so shocked that people would come here and be so negative," the 31-year-old dancer exclusively told PEOPLE on Monday. "This is a safe place for people to learn a new skill and seek redemption or start a new chapter in their life and that's what Ryan is trying to do and I just felt so defensive that someone would try and ruin that for him and for everyone watching, so I took it upon myself to make sure they were escorted out. I wanted to protect my home." Bergeron said the incident happened so fast, he barely had time to react. "It's not uncommon for there to be a lot of noise here-a lot of cheering, a lot of jeering when people don't like the judge's comments," he explained to GMA anchor George Stephanopoulos. "It wasn't really until I saw Carrie Ann [Inaba]'s expression change that I got the sense something more was going on." He continued: "By the time I saw the two guys coming with their T-shirts, our security team had them second floor. So it all happened very quickly. I think our security did a great job of not assuming that just because these people wanted to be vocally protesting that they might not get physical as well." The 61-year-old said he then turned his focus to Lochte and partner Cheryl-throwing to commercial to "try and get some control of the show" and "take a deep breath." According to Bergeron, the protesters had worn their anti-Lochte shirts under their clothes, and had gone through security before entering the ballroom. That check included a bag check and metal detectors. "They were just part of our typical audience, and they went through a screening process like anybody else. And I think they had dressed appropriately for the show and then tore those away to reveal their T-shirts," he confessed. Los Angeles police also confirmed to ABC News that Sododeh, Soroudi and the four female protesters had valid tickets to the show and wore the anti-Lochte shirts under their clothing. As for anyone who thought the incident might have been a stunt put on by the ABC dancing competition, Bergeron was quick to deny that. "There are always skeptics about everything," he said. "It wasn't a bit. It was really unnerving and again I applaud our security team for making it very short." Inaba also spoke out about the action-and praised the dancing competition's security team. In an Instagram post on Monday night, the 48-year-old DWTS judge wrote, "We had a bit of a scary moment during tonight's live taping of Dancing with the Stars. But thanks to our security team and incredible staff, no one got hurt." "Only positive energy here tonight and always," she added. (People)

Jimmy Kimmel's Emmy-nominated friends need to prepare themselves for when he takes the stage as host of the 68th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday. Slated to host the show for a second time, Kimmel tells PEOPLE that there will be a significant difference between his Emmys opener and his nightly Jimmy Kimmel Live! opening monologue. "In a way it's better because I know almost everybody in the crowd," teases Kimmel, 48. "I mean, these are people that have all been on my show and they also know the camera is on them, so they have to be pretending to enjoy what I'm doing-because they know I will find those clips and punish them somehow in the future." Though Kimmel has his own shot at taking home hardware for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host has more nerves about his role as emcee than the possibility of hearing his name called in the outstanding variety talk series category. "I never feel any pressure about being nominated because, it would be great if we won, but I don't think we're going to win and I don't really care if we win or not. I don't have that typical nervousness like, 'Oh god, this is my shot,'" Kimmel tells PEOPLE. "I'm more nervous about hosting." And just who does Kimmel think will take clinch victory for his category? "I think John Oliver will win our category. I think he's very funny and he's hitting on serious subjects [on Last Week Tonight], and I think that's the kind of thing that seems award-worthy." With the Emmys just days away, Kimmel also offers a few clues as to who should prepare to hear their name checked during the ceremony. "The people with whom I'm actually friendly are in the most danger usually because I know they can take a joke," Kimmel says. "That works against them. Being a good sport is the worst thing you can be." The 68th annual Emmy Awards will air live from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. (People)

Channel 4 have swooped The Great British Bake Off after the BBC refused to pay £25 million to hold on to the rights. Love Productions, the company behind Britain's biggest show, says they will end their contract with the BBC after the current series finishes. They said they've had "more than a year of exhaustive negotiations" but still failed to come to an agreement with the broadcasting house. Three hours after, Channel 4 announced that they've signed the show for a three-year contract. Reportedly they've paid £25 million a year for 40 hours of Bake Off production including professional and celebrity specials. But people aren't happy. Many feel that it's a "quintessentially BBC program", some fear it will be turned into a celebrity focused show and others are in uproar over the fact that it will now have adverts. Jeremy Corbyn even Tweeted that he'd bring it up in Prime Minister's Question Time. It's been said that Love Productions rejected offers from Netflix and ITV. It's still unclear whether the four hosts will move with the show. Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins have all previously voiced their preference for the BBC. The BBC currently have a "holdback" clause that states that competitors can't air the standard version of the show for a year after the current series ends. However, it's thought they will bow to public pressure and allow Channel 4 to bring series 8 to our screens next year. We hope so - a whole year without it? Never! (British Glamour)

'Saturday Night Live' Adds Three to Cast for Season 42. Former writer Mikey Day joins two more new faces. Saturday Night Live has added some new faces to its ranks. Mikey Day, a writer on the show since 2013, will transition to on-camera talent this upcoming season, the late-night institution's 42rd. Also joining the cast are Alex Moffat and Melissa Villasenor. All three will be featured players making their debuts on the Oct. 1 premiere. Day, 36, is a member of the Groundlings, the famed Los Angeles comedy troupe and talent incubator that has produced such SNL all-stars as Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig. Villasenor (pronounced via-SIN-your) is an L.A.-based comedian. She was a top 16 finalist on Season 6 of America's Got Talent. Moffat hails from Chicago, where he taught teen improv at The Second City. He also is head writer and a cast member on Maya & Marty, which, like SNL, is another Lorne Michaels-produced NBC sketch show. That series -- a showcase for the talents of Maya Rudolph and Martin Short -- aired six episodes over the summer. It has yet to receive a renewal for a second season. The new hires and promotions follow a round of behind-the-scenes bloodshed at the famed Studio 8H. This time around, the cast cuts were more shocking than usual, as Michaels chose not to renew the contracts of two of the show's heavy-lifters -- Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah. Also not picked up for a second season was Jon Rudnitsky, who joined the cast as a featured player before the start of Season 41. Killam, who was with the show for six seasons, recently posted a goodbye video to Twitter -- a spoof of sports documentaries called Live Knocks: Saying Goodbye to SNL. He recently boarded Showtime's Jason Katims pilot Mating. The 34-year-old currently stars in Brother Nature, a Michaels-produced comedy feature that was co-written by Day and which opened Friday, and he is directing and starring in Why We're Killing Gunther, a comedy featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The 28-year-old Pharoah, meanwhile, also had been with SNL for six seasons. He next stars in Showtime's Jamie Foxx pilot White Famous. (Hollywood Reporter)

'South Park' Mocks Colin Kaepernick Protest in Season-20 Promo. "Why did I listen to Colin Kaepernick? He's not even any good." South Park is almost back for another season and in one of its first teasers, the adult cartoon pokes fun at Colin Kaepernick and his national anthem protest. The promo shows a portion of the small Colorado mountain town singing the "Star-Spangled Banner," but the lyrics start with, "Colin Kaepernick is great, Cops are pigs, cops are pigs." But then the townspeople change their tune with "Wait, someone just took my stuff, I need to call the cops. Oh, no, I just said 'cops are pigs.' Who's gonna help me get my stuff? Why did I listen to Colin Kaepernick? He's not even any good." It then changes gears once again. Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback, has been making headlines because he refuses to stand for the national anthem in protest over how minorities are treated in America. He has rallied a lot of support from fans and players, but there seems to be just as much ire over his actions. South Park returns for its 20th season Wednesday. The Hollywood Reporter will have an enormous oral history of the show, featuring creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, along with numerous others involved with the iconic cartoon the day the show premieres.

Hillary Clinton has "frequently" fainted due to dehydration, according to Bill Clinton ... but for some reason CBS removed that comment from its initial airing of the interview. Charlie Rose sat down with the ex-Prez to discuss the candidate's health, and Bill tackled the question head-on. CBS released quotes from the interview where Bill said, "... because frequently -- well not frequently, rarely -- but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated." The "frequently" part was edited out of Monday's evening news. What's interesting is ... it was left in when a longer version aired Tuesday on "CBS This Morning." It's only 3 seconds ... so, seems odd it would have been removed for time purposes. We've got a call into CBS, but no word back yet. (TMZ)
