Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Welcome Baby No. 2. Congratulations are in order for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds! Sources confirm to E! News that the superstar couple have welcomed their second child together. "They are so excited," an insider says. The New York Post's Page Six first reported the baby's birth Friday, adding that Lively's pal Taylor Swift was heading to a Manhattan hospital to pay the happy family a visit. Details, including the newborn's name and sex, were not immediately available. Last month, Lively celebrated their little one's upcoming arrival with an intimate baby shower. A source confirmed at the time that the celebration was held at the Bedford Post Inn in New York. Guests started arriving around 11 a.m. local time and enjoyed the 90-minute gathering in the heart of Westchester County. As for who scored a special invite, the guest list was kept pretty private, but E! News confirmed that Swift was in attendance for the fun event. Reynolds couldn't help but joke about his wife's growing baby bump in late August when we spoke to the actor at the Eddie Bauer and American Forests for the One Tree Initiative event about his love of being outdoors. "My wife is just extraordinarily pregnant right now, so there's not a lot of hiking in her immediate future -- nor do I think it's going to happen the second she gives birth, either," Reynolds said with a slight smirk. "I'm told there's some recuperation that's needed." Ryan added that with its excessive heat and humidity, August is "the worst month on earth to be pregnant." Lively would certainly agree. As she joked with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, "It should be illegal to be pregnant in New York in July...I swear, I'm going to make my water break just so I can cool down." Regardless, Reynolds told E! News, "There's nothing on earth more grounding than having a baby. It's the best thing that could ever happen to someone." So, does that mean more babies in the future? The hunky star has been open about the couple wanting to have a large family in the past. "We'd love to have a big family. We both come from big families -- my parents did four, Blake's did five," Ryan once gushed to Details magazine. "A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know?" For now, these famous parents can enjoy having two little ones running around the house. (Eonline)

Inside Janet Jackson's Pregnancy: "It Hasn't Been the Easiest." News of Janet Jackson's pregnancy first broke in May, but since then the singer has been having a tough time. The "BURNITUP!" songstress, 50, is expecting her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana, but a source tells E! News that her pregnancy hasn't been easy. "Janet isn't feeling that great. She has gained more weight than she anticipated," the insider shares. "It hasn't been the easiest pregnancy at all. She is excited to have her baby, and that's the light at the end of this tunnel." Because of her age, Janet's primary concern is having a healthy baby, so she's remains under her doctor's care. Since E! News previously reported, Janet's health has improved but she still feels "very tired and sluggish," the source explains. Fortunately, her "husband, family and friends have been very helpful during her pregnancy." The "Dammn Baby" singer and her baby bump were spotted in Central London this week for the first time in months. Janet entered Back in Action, which is a back pain solutions store for expecting mothers. Earlier this month Janet was put under "doctor's orders to rest" until the baby arrives. "She is doing OK and resting until she is due for her baby," another insider explained. Her bed rest orders came after Janet experienced some complications, but added that she would be just fine. "[Janet] is aware of complications, but as of now doctors say she is OK." Back in May, E! News reported that Jackson was preparing to start a family, an announcement that came about a month after doctors ordered the performer to postpone her Unbreakable world tour. At the time, a source told E! News that Janet was in the second trimester of her pregnancy and that she and her husband had been working with a fertility specialist for quite a while. Janet's brother Tito Jackson also squashed rumors that Janet was using a surrogate, telling Andy Cohen that she's "very pregnant." (Eonline)

News caught up with The Accountant star where he admitted to us that he's totally game for helping with this eldest child's homework... for now. "I was doing math homework last night," he shared. "When I'm there, you're stuck with your parents helping you with your homework. Jen [Garner]'s very good at math [too]. So far, my eldest kid is in fifth grade and they haven't passed me yet. But I feel like in seventh or eighth grade I'm going to start worrying that they're going to lose me." Affleck continued, "It's important to be involved with your kids' schoolwork so you know what's going on and what they're doing and what you're supposed to be supporting and going to school nights." And when he's not being a hands-on father, the Oscar-winning actor is hard at work on his ever-successful career. So what was it about The Accountant that made Affleck so intrigued? "I was surprised by how smart and intricate it was... the unconventional protagonist." He continued, "It was a no-brainer... I just wanted to jump on board." The Accountant stars Anna Kendrick, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow and is slated to hit theaters on October 20. (Eonline)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Agree to Individual Therapy in Temporary Agreement. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have struck a deal -- albeit temporarily. On the heels of the actress' divorce filing, the two stars have been trying to settle on custody arrangements of their six children out of court. While Jolie had initially requested that Pitt be granted visitation, she asked for full physical custody of Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Viviennne. As of Friday, per a temporary agreement, a source tells E! News Jolie has temporary sole custody of their children while Pitt has visitation rights. According to a source familiar with the voluntary agreement, both parents have agreed to participate in individual counseling and Pitt's initial visit with his children will be with a therapist, though nothing has been mandated for supervision or monitoring. The actor has also volunteered to complete drug and alcohol testing, but was not required. Since the estranged couple has not agreed to a permanent legal or physical custody arrangement for their children thus far, this temporary plan will be upheld until Oct. 20. This news comes just a week after reports surfaced of an inquiry conducted by DCFS into allegations that Brad was involved in an incident with a child aboard a private plane earlier this month. Since the divorce filing, E! News learned the actor has not seen any of his kids. "He really wants to see the kids and to work out an arrangement that is best for them," an insider previously told us. "[He] wants to work things out privately and amicably." Meanwhile, E! also learned that Jolie doesn't intend for the custody situation to remain permanent. Rather, she believes it's what's necessary right now and knows she and Pitt will need to co-parent together in the future for the sake of their children. On Friday, a source reiterated that her primary focus is the wellbeing of her children. (Eonline)

Hugh Hefner Laughs Off Rumors That He's Gravely. You guys, Hugh Hefner is fine. The 90-year-old Playboy mogul took to Twitter this evening to joke about recent reports stating that he's currently deathly ill. "I wish the tabloids had informed me a little earlier in the week that I'm sick," he wrote. "I might have cancelled my weekend plans." West Los Angeles Police Department tells E! News that they responded to a call directing them to the Playboy Mansion after TMZ alerted them of a possible death. Officers went to the estate to see if any assistance was needed, but turns out, it wasn't true! Authorities confirm that Hugh was alive and well, and shared that the ladies' man later called the station to thank the officers for the response, and to let them know there was no issue with him and didn't need their assistance, adding that Hef "sounded fine." Furthermore, a source explains that earlier reports of his deteriorating health are just exaggerating the matter at hand, which is that (as hard as it is to accept or believe) Hef is 90, and at that age, health is bound to change. "Hef is 90 years old so he has the health of a 90-year-old. He's an old man. I'm sure he's not in the best of shape but it's just old age. This story [about his deteriorating health] always pops up, but as far as I know he's just very old and there's nothing really new about that," the insider tells us. The source also adds that "Hef's had nurses for years, too. He's always had doctors coming to see him at the mansion, he never goes out to the doctor. But it's not like new hospice care or anything like that." In short, Hef is good and dandy and just wants to enjoy his weekend plans. (Eonline)

Angelina Jolie just added a couple of aces to her already star-studded lineup of legal eagles -- coming on board are the 2 lawyers who helped Shelly Sterling execute the sale of the L.A. Clippers. Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Angelina hired Pierce O'Donnell and Bert Fields in a move to bolster her team that's led by disso queen Laura Wasser. The explanation is simple -- Pierce and Bert are accomplished trial lawyers who add firepower to the team. Obvious question -- Why does Angie need trial lawyers? Glad you asked ... if her divorce case with Brad Pitt gets super ugly ... well, it becomes a whole "May it please the court" thing. (TMZ)

Angelina Jolie will not cooperate with law enforcement if there's a move to file child abuse charges against Brad Pitt ... TMZ has learned. Our Angelina sources say she's adamant ... Brad should not face criminal charges for getting physical with 15-year-old Maddox on their private jet. We're told she'll go "radio silent" if authorities make a move to build a case against her estranged husband. We're told Angelina was forthright with the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, telling social workers Brad struck Maddox (in the face). Other sources say Brad did not strike his son in the face, but instead lunged at him and Angelina got in the way, causing Brad to inadvertently make contact with the boy's shoulders. Angelina, we're told, has a singular focus ... protecting her kids, not punishing Brad. DCFS does have the authority to recommend custody restrictions to the dependency court, although it's looking more and more like it will not reach that stage. Furthermore, given there were no injuries to Maddox and conflicting accounts of what happened, prosecution is also unlikely. (TMZ)

Paul Johansson's firing back at his baby mama after she got a temporary restraining order against him -- now claiming she gives their child sleeping pills. The "One Tree Hill" star filed his response to Mercedes Connor's temporary restraining order ... where she claimed he flipped when their 5-year-old son had a food allergy scare. In his docs, Johansson says she's the terrible parent because she gave the boy sleeping pills to knock him out at night. He also told his side of the food allergy fight -- accusing her of being neglectful during the incident. He says Connor was engrossed with her phone while the child suffered, and she only stopped when he demanded she get some medication. We've reached out to Connor ... so far no word back. The restraining order's been lifted, but they clearly have plenty of issues left to hammer out in court. (TMZ)

Ozzy Osbourne's Mistress Michelle Pugh Sues Kelly Osbourne. Ozzy Osbourne's mistress Michelle Pugh is suing Kelly Osbourne for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and public disclosure of private facts. The lawsuit comes after Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy announced their trial separation as a result of alleged infidelity between Ozzy and Michelle. When the news first spread, Kelly took to Twitter to slam Michelle. "Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-light and blow out and a b-----b call ...," Kelly wrote before listing a phone number that has since been disconnected. After one fan criticized her for sharing Pugh's information publicly, Kelly fired back, "Are you my family? NO YOU ARE NOT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE DID! So keep ur high-mighty opinions to yourself!" In court documents obtained by E! News, Michelle claims Kelly "intentionally and maliciously harmed her by publishing private facts and defamatory statements, in addition to inciting a rash of mass cyber-bullying against [Michelle] utilizing the highly popular social media platform, Twitter, wherein Kelly had approximately 4.07 million followers." As a result of Kelly's violation of Twitter rules, her account was locked, according to the documents. Kelly deleted the phone number tweet about a month later, but the "damage" was "already done." Michelle is seeking compensatory damages, attorneys' fees, punitive damages and "other relief" as the court sees fit. Recently Sharon and Ozzy announced that their marriage was "back on track" after hitting a rough patch, but Pugh opened up to People magazine about her four-year relationship with the Black Sabbath rocker and recalled how he "made me feel like the most beautiful and worshiped woman in the world." Although Michelle maintained she and Ozzy shared something special, a rep for Ozzy told the magazine otherwise. "And while Pugh maintains the pair connected on an "emotional level" through their "shared passions," a rep for Osbourne reveals otherwise. "Over the last six years, Ozzy Osbourne has been dealing with a sex addiction. He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context," a rep for the singer told the mag. "He would like to apologize to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with. Out of the bad comes good. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy. Ozzy is mortified at what his behavior has done to his family. He thanks God that his incredible wife Sharon is at his side to support him." Sharon also addressed Ozzy's addiction on The Talk, saying, "He's working at it. It's hard because it affects the whole family," she said. "It's quite embarrassing to talk about." Originally published on Aug. 3, 2016, at 12:19 p.m. PST. UPDATE: Ozzy Osbourne's mistress Michelle Pugh and daughter Kelly Osbourne have reached a settlement in their lawsuit. "The tweets have been removed and the lawsuit has been privately resolved. The resolution statement is mutual," Pugh's lawyer F. Edie Mermelstein told People, who first reported the story. (Eonline)

The families of Jenni Rivera's entourage members killed in her plane crash are tired of waiting for the multimillion dollar judgment they were awarded, so they've called in the big guns to collect.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Receive Customized Hockey Jerseys for Their Children During Charity Visit. Prince William and Kate Middleton received quite the presents for Prince George and Princess Charlotte Saturday: customized Vancouver Canucks jerseys! If the two young royals weren't interested in sports, they will be now. Well, interested in ice hockey, at least. Each jersey said "George" and "Charlotte" on the back. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received the uniforms during a visit to a domestic violence shelter and charity on their last day of their Canada tour. Wills and Kate kicked off the day at The Cridge Center for the Family in Victoria, British Columbia, which provides support for women who have experienced domestic violence and housing for families experiencing economic or relationship crises. Afterwards the royal couple was set to visit a local cafe where they would meet with families that have been supported by the Kelty Mental Health Resource Center, one of British Columbia's leading mental health charities. Prince William and Kate, together with Prince Harry, run the Heads Together mental health awareness initiative, so they were going to learn all about Kelty's digital and community-based tools that work to bring its services to the community. The couple looked casual chic for their final day in Canada, with Kate opting to wear a white blazer and skinny jeans from Zara. Prince William went tie-free to round out his laid-back look. The final activity of the day would certainly be an exciting for sail-loving Kate, as they were set to board a tall-ship operated by the Sail and Life Training Society, a charity that uses the power of sailing to give young people skills and direction in their lives.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte Wave Goodbye to Canada After Making "Happy" Family Memories. And just like that, Prince William and Kate Middleton's trip to Canada has come to an end. After a week-long tour of the country, the royal couple and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte arrived at the airport to begin their journey back home to England. To the surprise of nobody, the family of four was dressed to impress as they waved goodbye to photographers before taking their seats in their seaplane. Prince George held dad's hand as he wore red shorts and a blue sweater over a collared shirt. As for Princess Charlotte, she got a lift from mom while wearing a dress and jacket that matched her older brother's shorts perfectly. "Catherine and I are incredibly grateful to the people of Canada for the warmth and hospitality they have extended to our family over the last week," Prince William said in a statement. "We have loved our time in British Columbia and Yukon and will never forget the beautiful places we have seen and the many people who have been kind enough to come to welcome s in person."

This country will play a big part in the lives of our children and we have created such happy memories for our family during this visit." It's been nothing short of a jam-packed vacation for the famous family who have attended everything from charity events to royal receptions. But perhaps what caught the attention of most followers was the amount of fun Prince George and Princess Charlotte experienced during their visit. A highlight was Thursday afternoon when the pair participated in a petting zoo. While the animals grabbed the attention of some youngsters, it was the balloons and bubbles that kept 3-year-old Prince George and his younger sister entertained. Before saying goodbye on Saturday, both William and Kate also received customized Vancouver Canucks jerseys for their children while attending a charity event. "Canada is a country of optimism, generosity and unrivalled natural beauty," the Duke of Cambridge shared. "I hope we have helped all Canadians celebrate what makes this country great. We will see you again soon." (Eonline)

As George Clooney and Amal Clooney commemorated their second year of marriage on Sept. 27, it was time to turn up the heat -- in the kitchen. "It's very big news. Very, very big celebration -- fireworks," the Oscar-winning actor joked to E!'s Erin Lim about his plans with Amal. "Ok, I made dinner." Before we start oohing and aahhing, was the acclaimed lawyer pleased with her husband's skills? "I don't think she's ever quite impressed with my cooking," Clooney said. However, he does have a strategy when it comes to preparing meals for Amal. "If I slap something together -- spaghetti and meatballs -- she doesn't know that it comes in a jar, so I can just fool her with that one," he said. Taste buds don't lie, Clooney! Since they are one of the most private pairs in Tinseltown, Lim asked the question on practically every fan's mind -- how do they keep it hot? "I don't know," Clooney answered as he broke into laughter. While it may be a mystery to Clooney, the couple was the picture of love Saturday night at MPTF's 95th anniversary celebration, Night Under the Stars, where George was slated to give opening remarks.

Midway through the show, George took Amal by the hand over to the bar and buffet and asked if she wanted to eat. "He tended to her. She affectionately brushed her hand across his cheek at one point while they were talking," the eyewitness described. "George and Amal were very affectionate." (Eonline)

Robin Williams' Widow Susan Schneider Williams Pens Heartbreaking Essay About His Final Months. It has been two years since Robin Williams died, and his widow, Susan Schneider Williams, continues to work to spread awareness of the brain disease that led to his suicide, Lewy Body Disease. In a heartbreaking essay titled "The Terrorist Inside My Husband's Brain," Susan writes about her late husband's final few months and how the disease that he didn't know he had consumed his life. Sharing that Robin's many symptoms didn't fit any one diagnosis, Susan explains that he had to deal with not only physical limitations such as heartburn and poor sense of smell but also mental incapacitation. "By wintertime, problems with paranoia, delusions and looping, insomnia, memory, and high cortisol levels -- just to name a few -- were settling in hard," she writes. "Psychotherapy and other medical help was becoming a constant in trying to manage and solve these seemingly disparate conditions." But the hardest part, she explains, was when the Aladdin actor couldn't remember his lines while filming Night at the Museum 3. "This loss of memory and inability to control his anxiety was devastating to him," she writes. One month before he died, Robin was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, and while he found comfort that there were some answers, he continued to struggle. "He kept saying, 'I just want to reboot my brain.'" Susan recalls. "When we were in the neurologist's office learning exactly what this meant, Robin had a chance to ask some burning questions. He asked, 'Do I have Alzheimer's? Dementia? Am I schizophrenic?' and when his doctor said 'No,' Robin was unsatisfied." Although his condition continued to worsen, Susan recalls what would be their final day together -- and how it gave her hope that his health would improve. "We did all the things we love on Saturday day and into the evening, it was perfect -- like one long date," writes Susan. "By the end of Sunday, I was feeling that he was getting better. When we retired for sleep, in our customary way, my husband said to me, 'Goodnight, my love,' and waited for my familiar reply: 'Goodnight, my love.' His words still echo through my heart today." She ends the essay by thanking all the doctors and scientists who continue to research LBD. "Thank you for what you have done, and for what you are about to do." (Eonline)

Britney Spears Opens Up About the Single Life and Sings a Taylor Swift Song. Britney Spears is really happy living the single life. The "Make Me" songstress opened up about her love life on The Jonathan Ross Show and shared that she doesn't need a man to make her happy. But if she's going to date someone, she has some requests: "I like someone that's just nice overall, just a nice guy really is groundbreaking in this world," she said of her taste in men, per the U.K. Express. Currently, however, she's content raising her two boys and releasing her new album. "A lot of men are about games. It's just the mind game with guys, the calling back and the texting, it's just too much, it's silly," she added. "Actually I'm not looking for men right now, I'm really happy with myself. I'm not looking for anything, I'm fine with the way I am." Part of her happiness entails staying away from the party scene of Las Vegas, where she admitted that there are "a lot of drugs involved." "I am aware of the partying that's going on," she revealed on the show. "A lot of the people are very intoxicated during the shows." But that didn't stop her from having a little fun with some helium. Host Jonathan Ross requested the "Toxic" songstress inhale some helium before giving fans a little tune. Brit Brit accepted the challenge and chose Taylor Swift 's "Shake It Off." The results are nothing short of adorable. (Eonline)

Amber Rose Claps Back at Dancing With the Stars Body-Shaming Controversy With Sexy New Costome. Amber Rose is proud of her body and the ballroom's about to know it. E! News has your exclusive first look at Amber's daring Dancing With the Stars look for Monday's show, and it's definitely her sexiest look so far this season. As you can see in the sketch of Amber's outfit for her and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy's Argentine Tango, which will be inspired by the Cirque du Soleil show Zumanity, the talk show host will be wearing an all-black ensemble, complete with garters, a leather choker and thigh-highs. Talk about a sexy look...and one that could possibly be in direct response to Amber feeling body-shamed by Judge Julianne Hough after last week's performance. On her podcast, Loveline With Amber Rose, she said, "Last night was like, they did the commentary, and I, it was a point in the dance where I had to lift my leg up and Maks dipped me & [Julianne] said, 'Oh, I'm uncomfortable,' and instantly I felt, I did feel body shamed." She later said, "And me, and my body, my hips, my ass, my breasts made her uncomfortable." But in an exclusive statement to E! News, Julianne denied she was body-shaming Amber with her comment, explaining, "To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere. My 'uncomfortable' comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance-when someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch." She then continued, "Trust me I'm ALL for a sexy booty dance!! We all know that!! And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in." Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC, with the next couple being eliminated on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. (Eonline)

Kylie Jenner Just Bought Another Mansion in Los Angeles. We cannot keep up. Kylie Jenner just purchased another house in Los Angeles, per Trulia. The growing beauty mogul dropped $12 million for a house in the Hidden Hills neighborhood, just a few months after she spent a $6 million mansion in the same neighborhood, as well as the $4.5 million house next door. That means the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star scooped up three new houses all before she turned 21. The 13,200-square-foot Cape Cod-style house has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and sits on 1.4 acres of land. Kylie's new house also has a gourmet kitchen, home theater, game room, pool, spa and massage room, which could possibly mean that this will outdo her other houses' glam rooms. It's safe to say that Kylie will be perfectly comfortable if she chooses to never leave this luxurious house! Real estate is in the Jenner women's blood as of late, as Kendall Jenner scooped up a $6.5 million home of her own, right across the street from Jimmy Kimmel. Not only has Kylie been treating herself to some luxuries, she also has been splurging on her pals. Recently the E! star gifted BFF Jordyn Woods with a diamond Cartier LOVE bracelet, which retails for $14,600, for her birthday. "There's no words to describe how I feel.. I just don't know what I did to deserve this," Woods wrote on Instagram at the time. "I can never thank @kyliejenner for motivating me to always do my best and always opening up new opportunities."

Linda's reached out to Twitter to have the hacked tweets removed, but so far she hasn't heard back. (TMZ)

Tommy Torres and Daddy Yankee Premiere Music Video "Tu y Yo" Tommy Torres, a Puerto Rican songwriter and artist known for romantic ballads, decided he wanted to create a track with one of the biggest names in reggaeton -- Daddy Yankee. That's when the two created, "Tu y Yo." This is an example of when a musical collaboration from two different genres is done right. Both Tommy and Yankee stayed true to their legendary sound but joined forces to make musical magic. "I saw Daddy Yankee at an award show, and we talked about doing something together, that was a couple of years ago," Tommy explained to E! News. "So one day I called him and told him that I had finally found the song that we could work on after all these years. He loved it, and we immediately hit the studio." Although the 44-year-old's songs are usually in Spanish, he draws a lot of inspiration from general market artists like Ed Sheeran, Mike Posner, John Mayer, and Sia. Daddy Yankee says that because they're both producers as well as artists, this musical collaboration was just a natural fit, regardless of their different sounds. "It was very important to us, that if we did collaborate musically, that Tommy would stay being Tommy and I would stay being myself. Nothing could be forced or sound fake. It needed to be authentic, and this is why I am so pleased with the final product," Yankee explained. "The video is a big contrast between the story, the romance and all that's happening within the party. It's really joining two worlds together, similar to what we did on this track." We asked Tommy about his adorable four-year-old daughter, Amanda Zoe that he usually shares videos of on social media, and his eyes immediately lit up. "She loves to go to the studio and play with instruments. I really pay attention to the songs that I sing and that she will continue humming days later," he gushed. "When I write music, she's very present in my mind, even if the song is about a different kind of love. The love that I have for her is that kind of love that you didn't believe was possible, the kind that you only read about in fairy tales. I can now write about this love, because I know that this love does exist. I believe that we're all capable of this love, with other people that aren't our children, but only if we silence our fears." Because this song joined two big Puerto Rican names in music, Yankee highlighted that the island is making a significant impact on the world in different platforms like sports, acting, and music. "It's crazy to me that Puerto Rico is so tiny and yet we keep seeing so much talent coming out of this island. I always tell people that it's a mine of talent," Daddy says. "I think that it all comes down to our drive. We come from such a small place, but we're so determined to show the world all that we have to offer. We're just so hungry and driven to accomplish big things." (Eonline)

Fifth Harmony's Ally Brooke Hernandez Attacked Onstage During Concert. Fifth Harmony's upheaval continues. The girl group was performing in Monterrey, Mexico Thursday when a fan rushed Ally Brooke Hernandez onstage. Fifth Harmony was performing at the Auditorio Banamex when a male ran onto the stage and knocked her over. Security promptly removed him from the concert, and Hernandez resumed her performance with the rest of the group. This has been a crazy week for Hernandez, who was also attacked at the airport earlier this week when the group arrived in Monterrey. Another male jumped out from an airport crowd in what appears to be an attempt to take a selfie with the songstress. "Just to let you know, I am okay after the airport incident," she wrote on social media, adding, "Please be careful and gentle so nobody gets hurt. That was scary. Thank you!" Hernandez then turned the focus towards her upcoming performance, adding, "Monterrey, I couldn't be happier to be here! It's been a dream of mine since I was little. My favorite singer Selena Quintanilla had many beautiful performances here. And now I get to perform in this city! I'm beyond honored & proud. Te amo!!!!!!! Ally" During the "Work From Home" singer's Mexico City concert, Hernandez broke down in tears as she spoke Spanish to the sold out crowd. "I can't believe there are 10,000 people right now," she told the audience. Fifth Harmony has one more stop in Mexico before heading on the European leg of their world tour, so we're wishing them safe travels! (Eonline)

Lady Gaga Announces She's Performing at the 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The countdown to the Super Bowl is on. Sure, we have no idea what teams will be playing at NRG Stadium in Houston. Heck, we don't even know which football organizations are going to make it to the playoffs. Lady Gaga will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show when February 5, 2017 hits our calendars. The "Perfect Illusion" singer posted the announcement on Instagram, writing, "It's not an illusion. The rumors are true. This year the SUPER BOWL goes GAGA." The news comes after reports surfaced that the NFL was very interested in the pop superstar. One of the many reasons why was because of her acclaimed performance of the National Anthem at last year's Super Bowl. This past February, the Mother Monster blew viewers away when she sang the song live. And as an added bonus, the singer admitted that performing at the Super Bowl was a "dream come true." "I've always wanted to sing the National Anthem at a major sporting event since I was a little girl, and for it to be the Super Bowl, it is the ultimate," she told NFL.com "This is one of the highest honors of my career." Performers at previous Super Bowl Halftime Shows have included Beyonce, Katy Perry, Prince, Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas. And while rumors surfaced that Adele could be a possible performer for next year's show, the "Hello" singer shut any speculation down when she revealed at a Los Angeles concert that was "not doing" the event. As for what Lady Gaga will do during her time on stage, your guess is as good as ours. But between her old favorites including "Just Dance" to her latest single titled "Perfect Illusion," there's lots of great material to work with. (Eonline)

Too Lazy to Vote? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Is Here to Motivate You With a New NSFW Song. Dwayne Johnson is joining the ranks of celebrities that are encouraging people -- especially young ones -- to go out and vote. The Rock, who is busy filming Jumanji in Hawaii, enlisted his production team at Seven Bucks Production to create a song that explains why registering to vote takes no time at all (which is why everyone should do it). "Did you know it takes approximately a minute and 34 seconds to register to vote? Ninety-four seconds to register to vote," The Rock says to the camera. To further drive the point home, the Ballers star gets some of his production crew to sing a somewhat NSFW song telling people all the things they can do it that 94 seconds. "You can tie your shoes, you can sing the blues / You can go out and bitch slap a candy-ass jabroni if you choose," they sing. "You can drink a beer, you can throw a spear / You can kill a lion with your bare hands, my dear..." The lyrics continue to list all the activities people can do in the 94 seconds it takes to register to vote, but based on the suggestions above it's probably better just to register online. Katy Perry and Madonna have also taken to the Internet to get people to vote, both choosing to use their naked bodies as "click bait." The "Ray of Light" songstress posted a nude selfie and said she was joining Perry's mission. "Im voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary. She's the Best we got!," she tweeted, adding American flag emojis. "Nude Voting series # 1." Perry, on the other hand, created a Funny or Die video in which she said you can vote however you'd like -- dressed in your pajamas or not clothed at all. (Eonline)

Bruce Springsteen Signs Absentee Note After Fifth Grader Skips School For Book Signing. A Philadelphia fifth-grader ditched school for the chance to meet rock legend Bruce Springsteen and "The Boss" gladly played along by signing the boy's absence excuse note. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Michael Fenerty attended a meet-and-greet with the New Jersey native Thursday (Sept. 29) at the Free Library of Philadelphia with his dad. Springsteen was in town for a book signing to promote his new autobiography, Born to Run. Wanting to follow school procedure, the boy's father brought along a pre-typed note that Springsteen signed to excuse his son's absence. Springsteen told the boy that he would have to read the note first because that's how he got in trouble with his first contract. The school's principal only received a photocopy of the note.

A few mean comments ain't gonna keep him down! Earlier this month, Corey Feldman got reamed for his over-the-top performance of his new song Go 4 It on the Today Show -- and later admitted he started "sobbing" after reading critics' scathing reviews. But like any true artist, the Goonies actor just couldn't stay away from the stage, and this week had quite the comeback performance in Hollywood! On Wednesday, the former child star surprised the crowd at Lucky Strike Live by hopping on stage and performing Pink Floyd's hit Money... and he totally ROCKED it! According to eyewitnesses, the 45-year-old was "having a lot of fun" and was in his "natural element," telling Us Weekly: "He was having a blast ... he seemed very lively and spent the night dancing around the stage." In a video recorded by an audience member, Feldman is seen grabbing the mic and telling the crowd, "You all know this one, come on!" before crooning the lyrics to the rock classic -- while, of course, busting out some of his signature dance moves.

'The Accountant,' 'Lion' Among Rome Film Fest Lineup. Guests for the 11th edition of the festival include Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Oliver Stone, Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Michael Buble, Roberto Benigni and Bernardo Bertolucci. The Rome Film Fest on Friday unveiled the lineup for its 11th edition, with 44 films in the official selection from 26 nations. The focus of the fest, under the artistic direction of Antonio Monda, draws heavily from other fall festivals, but the lineup also includes new films such as the heavily-anticipated thriller from Gavin O'Connor The Accountant, starring Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick. As previously announced, Barry Jenkins' Moonlight, about a young Miami man struggling to find himself across multiple eras, will open the fest. A slew of recent Toronto films and other buzzed-about films are once again filling the program this year. Among them are Genius by Michael Grandage, Hell or High Water by David Mackenzie, Denial by Mick Jackson, Into the Inferno by Werner Herzog, Manchester by the Sea by Kenneth Lonergan, and Nate Parker's Birth of a Nation. Birth of a Nation has been shrouded in controversy since this past summer when accusations of rape and bullying resurfaced against Parker and the film's co-writer Jean Celestin. The accuser later committed suicide. The controversy is beginning to also register in local Italian press. Oliver Stone will come to Rome to present Snowden, as well as discuss American politics on the eve of the U.S. election. The Benedict Cumberbatch-narrated documentary Naples '44, directed by Francesco Patierno, will also play the fest. Meryl Streep will hold court with Rome festival attendees, as well as have her latest film, Stephen Frears' Florence Foster Jenkins at the festival. Honorary Oscar recipient Andrzej Wajda will be on hand to speak with audiences and present his new film Afterimage. Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche and Kristin Scott Thomas will be on hand to present the 20th anniversary of The English Patient. And Michael Buble will journey to Rome to present the Brett Sullivan doc Michael Buble - Tour Stop 148. Featured documentaries include Richard Linklater: Dream is Destiny by Louis Black and Karen Bernstein, and The Rolling Stones Ole Ole Ole!: A Trip Across Latin America by Paul Dugdale. Jon Krasinski's directorial debut, The Hollars, a comedy about a man returning home to his sick mother, will also play the festival. Gordian Maugg in his new film, Fritz Lang, explores the director immersing himself in a murder case to research his famous film M. And Jim Sheridan's drama The Secret Scriptures, starring Rooney Mara and Vanessa Redgrave (who will be in attendance), will come to Rome after playing Toronto and the London Film Festival. Mara will be on quadruple duty at the fest with films including Benedict Andrews' Una, Trevis Knight's animated film Kubo and the Two Strings, and the closing film Lion, starring Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Patel plays an adopted Indian boy who sets off to find his lost family. In keeping with previous years, there will be no jury, but an audience award will be given to the most popular film as voted by ticket holders, similar to Toronto's People's Choice Award. Close Encounters audience talks in Rome are planned with Roberto, Benigni, Bernardo Bertolucci, Don DeLillo, David Mamet and Viggo Mortensen. Tom Hanks, who will receive the fest's lifetime achievement award, and a career retrospective, will also participate in an audience discussion. Meanwhile, Rome tribute screenings are planned for Michael Cimino, Gregory Peck, Alberto Sordi and Lang. And a series of films on American politics will help set a global discussion for the U.S. election with films including Michael Ritchie's The Candidate, Oliver Stone's Nixon and the original The Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith. Rome Film Fest runs Oct. 13-23. (Hollywood Reporter)

James Bond Executive Producer Says Daniel Craig Is "Still First Choice". Callum McDougall said Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were "hoping for him to come back." The "will he stay or will he go" merry-go-round surrounding Daniel Craig's future in James Bond's blood-splattered brogues may show no signs of slowing down, with countless columns inches dedicated to the matter since the release of Spectre last year and a near-endless supply of possible replacements wheeled out as supposed favorites. But according to an executive producer and unit production manager on the iconic franchise, the current 007 is still the preferred candidate for the top job. Speaking to BBC radio to celebrate the 80th birthday of Pinewood Studios, the spy's legendary production home, Callum McDougall, who has worked on every Bond since Die Another Day, said Craig was "absolutely the first choice" for chief producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. "I know they're hoping for him to come back," he added, although he admitted he had no idea who would eventually be named. Among the latest rumors circling 007 is that Craig turned down $99 million to star in two more Bond films, following on from a comment he made when promoting Spectre that he'd rather "slash my wrists" than agree to do another. While Idris Elba has long been tipped as the next actor to take the role, the likes of Tom Hiddleston and Aiden Turner have more recently topped bookmakers' lists thanks to recent TV appearances. In the spirit of the super-spy it oversees, production company Eon is, as ever, remaining tight-lipped. (Hollywood Reporter)

'E.T.' Original Poster Artwork Expected to Fetch $150,000 at Auction. The classic artwork by John Alvin is up for grabs on Oct. 12 in Dallas through Heritage Auctions. The original poster artwork commissioned for Steven Spielberg's 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial goes under the hammer in Dallas on Oct. 12, where it is expected to fetch upwards of $150,000. Grey Smith, director of vintage movie posters at Heritage Auctions, often encounters this image, but handling the unique acrylic-on-board by master cinematic artist John Alvin is very different, he says. "It really is a pretty spectacular piece." Inspired by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam fresco, Alvin's well-known illustration depicts E.T.'s glowing finger touching 10-year-old Elliott's finger, as they hover among the stars, above the Earth. "Every time my son's or daughter's friends would see the painting they'd stand in front of it with their fingers touching in the same way," recalls TV writer and producer Bob Bendetson, who has owned the painting for the last 13 years. He purchased it from a Universal Pictures executive. A proposed home redecoration project will soon bump the iconic painting from Bendetson's office wall, however. Alvin's E.T. artwork was used not only for the film's initial one-sheet movie poster but also for the VHS cover, lobby cards, and all manner of related merch. Alvin, who died in 2008, created memorable poster art for many now-classic films of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, including Blade Runner, Young Frankenstein, The Goonies, Gremlins, and The Lion King. In the forward to a 2014 published collection of his work, The Art of John Alvin, Jeffrey Katzenberg wrote, "Somehow, John was able to capture the emotion of an entire movie in a single image."

Alec Baldwin Returns to Saturday Night Live as Donald Trump. Live from New York, it's time for politics Saturday Night Live style. As the long-running NBC series kicked off Season 42 this evening, a familiar face decided to return to the sketch series. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump. While recreating the first Presidential debate for Decision 2016, Donald joined Hillary Clinton (played by Kate McKinnon) where he revealed his goals for the evening. "Good evening, America. I am going to be so good tonight," he shared. "I am going to be so calm and so presidential that all of you watching are going to cream your jeans." What came next was moderator Lester Holt (portrayed by Michael Che) trying to get the candidates to talk about issues including job creation, national security and the Iraq war. In true SNL fashion, however, things didn't exactly go as planned. During the mock debate, Donald got a case of the sniffles while Hillary walked in with a cane due to her recent pneumonia. In addition, Donald made a point to bring up his concerns regarding his opponent. "I have the best judgment. And the best temperament. She's the one with the bad temperament. She's always screaming. She's constantly lying," he shared. "Her hair is crazy. Her face is completely orange except around the eyes where its white. Once she stops talking, her mouth looks like a tiny little butthole." When Hillary started crying later on in the debate, the moderator checked in to see what was going on. "I, I'm sorry, Lester. This is going so well," she shared. "It's going exactly how I'd always dreamed." Ultimately, each candidate was able to put aside any difference of opinion for one important reason. Can you guess why? "Live from New York, it's Saturday night." Saturday Night Live airs Saturday nights at 11:30 p.m. only on NBC. (Eonline)

Dynasty Reboot in the Works at the CW. Another day, another reboot. The CW is looking to bring back one of TV's most iconic dramas ever: Dynasty. Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the masterminds behind Gossip Girl and The O.C., are rebooting the '80s primetime soap opera for the network, E! News has learned. The duo will team up with Esther Shapiro and Richard Shapiro, the creators of the original series, for the modernized reboot. Here's the log-line for the CW series: "The Rolls Royce of all primetime soaps, returns in a modernized reboot that follows two of America's wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children. The series will be told primarily through the perspectives of two women at odds: Fallon Carrington -- daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington -- and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal -- a Hispanic woman marrying into this WASP family and America's most powerful class. In an age where dynasties appear everywhere -- from reality TV to the polling booths -- this epic drama features the one percent in all its glitz and gloss, while exposing the dark underbelly: a corrupt world built on backroom deals, betrayal, and, in some cases, murder." Dynasty ran from 1981-89 on ABC, and starred Linda Evans, John Forstyhe, Pamela Sue Martin, and, of course, Joan Collins, who joined the show in season two as Alexis. It remains to be seen if any of the characters from the original series will pop up in the reboot. Other iconic series that have been rebooted by the CW include Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place, while Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas is also looking to revive The Lost Boys on the network as well.

Criminal Minds Adds Damon Gupton as New Series Regular in Wake of Thomas Gibson's Departure. It looks like the BAU may have just found their Hotchkiss replacement. CBS announced that Damon Gupton has joined the cast of Criminal Minds as a series regular in the wake of original cast member Thomas Gibson's firing following a physical altercation on set. He'll make his first appearance in the eighth episode of season 12 as Special Agent Stephen Walker, a seasoned profiler from the Behavioral Analysis Program (aka the counterintelligence division of the FBI) who will bring his spy-hunting skill set to the BAU. "Our BAU family is growing," showrunner Erica Messer said in a statement. "We're excited to have Damon join the show and work alongside our amazing cast and crew." Gupton's TV credits include roles on Bates Motel, Empire, and upcoming series Goliath. Fun fact: Before embarking on his acting career, he toured the country as a symphony conductor. The casting marks the latest in a string of cast changes the show has undergone this season. Aside from the void left by Gibson's departure, Adam Rodriguez joined the series as a regular to replace Shemar Moore, who left the show in March after 11 seasons. Paget Brewster, who was returning for a brief arc as Emily Prentiss, was promoted back to series regular, as well. Criminal Minds airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS. (Eonline)

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's TV career together is looking short and NOT sweet -- season 2 of their show is now hanging by a thread. Production sources on "Rob & Chyna" tell TMZ ... E! execs haven't ordered a 2nd season yet, and a big part of the problem is they can't get the couple to shoot together. As we've reported, Rob's become a hermit again and we're told that's giving the bosses cold feet. Understandably, they're worried they won't get a full season out of him. Obviously, a sophomore season could get huge ratings with so much drama, plus a baby and possibly a wedding around the corner ... if Rob's on board, and we're told that's a BIG if right now. Not to mention the season airing now is doing very well. Our sources say honchos think Chyna's TV gold, and would consider working with her solo on a different show -- but if her fiance remains MIA ... "Rob & Chyna" will die on the vine. (TMZ)

About Luke Cage's Shocking Episode 7 Twist... How do you shock the unshockable audience? If you're Marvel's Luke Cage you pull the rug right out from viewers by killing key characters and leaving the fate of another up in the air. Yeah, this is your spoiler warning. In Marvel's Luke Cage episode seven, "Manifest," things took a turn for the fine (and not so fine) people of Harlem. Where to start? How about Alfre Woodard's Mariah Dillard killing her cousin Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes (House of Cards' Mahershala Ali)? Yep, the big bad villain of Luke Cage was dispatched midway through the first season. And then -- yes, there's an and then -- Shades (Theo Rossi) helped Mariah cover it all up and pin it on Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and the two aligned themselves. The councilwoman is officially over to the dark side. Meanwhile, Luke Cage was out with Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) and got shot in the gut with that special bullet Shades and Cottonmouth were eyeballing. Yes, the indestructible skin was penetrated. Talk about twists. "We knew what we were going to do and when everybody read what we were going to do, they were on board," showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker told E! News at the premiere of Luke Cage. "That's really the incredible thing about this cast is that we wrote for this cast. It was really the perfect collaboration for our writers and the cast from the standpoint of believing so much in these actors that we really tried to tailor what we were writing for them. They paid us back by just elevating the material to a point where it's just so incredible." Hodari said fans should do a little bit of binging and savoring when it comes to his Netflix series. "It really depends on your stamina. I think the way to do it: Watch four, give a little bit of rest, watch four more, little bit of rest, watch the last four and then if you can stand it, watch episode 13." So, rest up and binge away. All of Marvel's Luke Cage is now streaming on Netflix. (Eonline)

Television industry insiders are licking their lips over the possibility that the Brangelina split will give Ann Curry the ultimate revenge over her former employers at NBC and arch nemesis Matt Lauer. As we have reported, many of the big-name on-air journalists are fiercely vying for the first interviews with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie since news of their impending divorce broke. And the buzz is that Curry -- who was humiliatingly fired by the network, allegedly at the behest of Lauer -- has a good chance of getting the scoop. An insider tells us that Curry, who left the network in 2015, is known in the industry to "have a very good relationship with both [stars]" and that "Angie especially trusts her" because Curry has covered their humanitarian efforts extensively. "Ann could take it anywhere she wanted," said the source, "which is probably anywhere but NBC!" Meanwhile, we're told her competition at NBC is, perhaps unexpectedly, Tom Brokaw, who also has a relationship with Jolie. (Page Six)
