Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky Not "Living Separate Lives." Heard the rumor that Chris Hemsworth's marriage is in trouble? Neither had he until early Monday Morning. The Oct. 31 issue of Australia's Woman's Day, however, claims Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's relationship is "on the rocks," as they have been "living separate lives." According to a source, "They've decided they need space, and they've been taking a little break from each other." Hemsworth has been shooting Thor: Ragnarok in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, while Pataky flew to Spain last month with their kids. The bottom line, the tabloid said, is that the couple's marriage "may not be as picture perfect as it appears." Oh, the irony -- Hemsworth shot down the report using a picture. Posing next to Pataky while overlooking the ocean, he wrote, "Looking for a new wife according to @womansdayaus and other misleading outlets! Honey you still love me right?!" Tagging Pataky, 40, in the Instagram caption, Hemsworth, 33, added, "#thanksfortheheadsup." Hemsworth and Pataky married after just a few months of dating in 2010. "It just felt right," Hemsworth recalled on ITV's Good Morning Britain in March. "It made sense. There was no great plan to any of it to be honest, we were on holiday and we said, 'Why don't we get married, too?' And then the next minute...There probably should have been some planning, but it all worked out. Honestly, we had both our families on holiday at the same time, just randomly, and we said, 'This is a good opportunity with everyone together.' So, we just did it." In the years that followed, the couple welcomed a daughter and twin sons. After living in the United States for several years, the family relocated to Hemsworth's native Australia in 2015. By his own admission, fatherhood is Hemsworth's greatest achievement. "It's not about you anymore, which is refreshing," he said. "My kids are hilarious and insane and crazy. It's good." Life is good with Pataky, too -- as it's always been. "There was no light bulb moment," he told Elle in 2015. "From the first time we met, we just made sense. She's fun. She's outgoing, and she has a sense of humor and a passionate attitude toward life, which is nice to try to keep up with." Hemsworth learned a lot about what it takes to make a marriage work from watching his own parents over the years. "They had a sense of adventure that I certainly picked up on. We moved around a lot, from Melbourne to the outback to coastal Victoria to Sydney, and it was great; I think that's part of why I'm attracted to this business -- there's so much movement and travel," he said. "And my wife is the same, so this style of life suits us. It breaks up the routine." (Eonline)

Proud mama alert! Tori Spelling gushed over her fifth pregnancy while attending the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's "A Time for Heroes" family festival in L.A. on Sunday, October 23. "It's my fashion accessory of the season!" the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 43, told Entertainment Tonight. Spelling's rep confirmed to Us Weekly on October 5 that the actress and her husband, Dean McDermott, were expecting their fifth child together. The couple are already parents of Liam, 9, Stella, 8, Hattie, 5, and Finn, 4. Spelling and the former Chopped Canada host, 49, have yet to find out the sex of their baby-to-be. "We have two of each, so we're blessed," she told ET. "We did find out with the first two, didn't find out with the second two -- huge, amazing surprises. The kids are old enough now they kind of want to find out, you know. We've taken a family vote so at some point we might find out but not yet." The Mystery Girls actress is enjoying this pregnancy, which is a huge difference from her last. Back in 2012, she was diagnosed with a form of placenta previa and bled often while pregnant with Finn. "My pregnancy with Finn was really difficult and there was a health condition, but the baby and I got checked out," she said on Sunday. Spelling previously opened up about the harrowing experience to Us Weekly in an October 2012 cover story. "I kept envisioning myself holding a healthy baby. That was my goal," she said at the time. "When they put him in my arms I was like, 'We made it. We did.' Now we have an insane bond. We've been through hell and back." (US Weekly)

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian still have separate living arrangements -- and that won't change before their baby arrives -- but they've got a co-parenting plan in place ... TMZ has learned. Our sources say Chyna's house is going to be home base when the baby girl is born next month, but Rob's not dodging diaper duty. We're told he and Chyna are getting along well right now, and he's been staying at her house for a few weeks. The plan is to share parental duties at Chyna's nest, but Rob isn't selling his Calabasas home just yet. Fact is ... their relationship is volatile and when things go south, Rob retreats to his place, we're told. But for now the plan is to be one happy family under one roof, and ultimately find a new house. Rob had been looking, but didn't find anything. We're told they'll start looking together after the baby's born and things settle down. (TMZ)

Demi Lovato & John Mayer?! The Back To Brunette Singer Was Spotted Getting Cozy With Taylor Swift's Ex -- Well, Well! Is there a new power couple in the works? On Saturday, Demi Lovato and John Mayer were reportedly spotted getting cozy while hanging out at the West Hollywood, CA hotspot Catch L.A. Well, well! Although the A-listers arrived and exited the restaurant separately, it's said they were enjoying each other's company inside. Hmm, go on! One source dished to Us Weekly: "John had his arm around Demi and was whispering sweet nothings into her ear. She was into it. They weren't making out or anything, but she was giggling the whole time." Huh. Demi was photographed wearing a leopard print jacket and a matching miniskirt which seemed to go nicely with her back to brunette 'do. As for John, he kept it casual in a Hawaiian print shirt and blue jeans. What's interesting about this situation is that Miz Lovato doesn't have the best history with Taylor Swift -- who dated Mayer back in the day. *sips tea* Anywho, another insider revealed Demi and John "chatted it up for over an hour" and that the Gravity singer even told the former Disney darling she "has one of the greatest voices." However, this isn't the first time these artists have crossed paths. Back in 2009, the 39-year-old praised the pop star's song La La Land which sparked quite the friendly exchange on Twitter. The duo later collaborated on the song World of Chances for Demi's second album Here We Go Again. Still, with John's on-again/off-again GF Katy Perry busy dating Bloom and Demi's split from Wilmer Valderrama, there could possibly be a romance blossoming here. Crazier things have happened, right?

Travis Barker isn't the only member of the family with an ear for great music. The Blink-182 drummer shared an Instagram video originally posted by Alabama Luella showing that the 10 year old is already dabbling in her father's profession. In the clip, Alabama has opted for the piano over the drums, playing and singing her own rendition of "Let It Go" by James Bay. Although she shrugged it off as simply "playing around on the piano," Barker, 40, couldn't be more thrilled at her interest in the arts. "My baby @alabamaluellabarkersat down at the piano and played this for me today," he captioned the video on his own page. "I love my kids love music as much as I do." In addition to Alabama, Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler are also parents to son Landon Asher, 13. "The kids' best interest is what we all have in mind -- there's nothing else," Barker told PEOPLE of Moakler earlier this year. "Our relationship was so long ago. We're just being friends. Doing the best co-parenting is the most important thing." (People)

Taryn Manning wants you to know ... she's struggling with her sobriety, but she's getting help. Taryn says she's aware a media outlet is doing a story on her, so before it comes out she wants to make it clear she's taking steps to achieve and maintain sobriety. The "Orange Is the New Black" star says, "I am truly grateful for what some may call hitting rock bottom ... Some days it sucks and some days it sucks worse. I am not ashamed of this obstacle because I have accepted that it is okay to not be okay." Taryn says she can't attend rehab because of her schedule, but she has a sober companion, therapists, friends and "other safe outlets" for support. She says she loves 'OITNB' and the cast and crew, adding, "I've never felt more accepted, forgiven, and supported than during this period of my life. This is not easy." (TMZ)

Runway supermodel Alek Wek is skeptical of the newer Instagram-model trend. "I think the fashion industry has gotten to a place where it is embarrassing. When I think of 'Instagram models,' I say you have to take baby steps. You cannot just walk straight onto the runway. When I was working, there was no digital. We actually worked, we used Polaroids," she told us. Wek, who's walked for labels such as Chanel, Gucci, Dior and YSL, added: "Anything that those girls get for instant gratification, [they'll] have to pay for it later." (Page Six)

Jeff Timmons will challenge Channing Tatum for the title ... hottest male strippers in Sin City. We're told Jeff locked down a deal to relaunch "Men of the Strip" in March ... which will become a TV show on a new network that encourages him to push the boundaries of stripping. You'll recall ... "Men of the Strip" originally ran as a docusoap for E! back in 2014. Jeff's place of residency will be the Stratosphere Hotel in Vegas, which is just up the road from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino ... where Channing's premiering "Magic Mike Live" at the very same time. Jeff will host for 6 weeks, with various celeb guests. We're guessing the ladies of Vegas won't mind the competition ... not at all. (TMZ)

Kim Kardashian had a good comeback to the question, "What's your talent?" It involves a ridiculous amount of money. Kim was featured on '60 Minutes' Sunday on a segment about social media, to which she attributes her success. What's the matter Kim ... you forgot the good ol' days? The segment was shot before the robbery, so her answer on the negative side of fame may have changed a bit. (TMZ)

Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay paid tribute to his late daughter, Trinity, at her funeral in Lexington, Kentucky on Saturday, October 22, nearly a week after she was shot and killed at age 15. Family and friends gathered for the service at the Southland Christian Church around noon. Photos of Trinity were shown on a video reel. "This is our community that we need to take back. A lot of kids are followers now," Tyson said, via Entertainment Tonight. "We need to be there for each other but I need everyone's help from the mayor to the police to all of you to allow her legacy to keep moving." Tyson also posted a photo from the memorial. "SPECIAL THANKS TO MY TRACK FAMILY FOR SUPPORTING TRINITY. I LOVE YOU GUYS. FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD," he captioned via Instagram. As previously reported, Trinity was shot in the neck during a gunfire between two vehicles near the University of Kentucky, Lexington, campus around 4 a.m. on October 16. She was taken to UK Hospital and was later pronounced dead. Last Friday, Tyson released a statement about her passing. "The death of my daughter as an innocent bystander is devastating, but I am determined that it not be senseless," he said at the time, via NBC. "We must come together as a community to protect each other, giving our young people the tools they need to resolve their conflicts and lead successful lives -- the kind that Trinity was well on her way to living," he continued. "In that spirit -- and to follow in the footsteps of those who kept me on the right path as a teenager when I easily could have gone the other way -- in the coming weeks we will be exploring ways to help mentor and support the youth of Lexington over the long term, so that the spirit of Trinity will sprint on long after we say goodbye to her this weekend." Like her dad, Trinity was a sprinter. According to ABC, she finished fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters while competing at Lafayette High School in Lexington in May. Trinity's death is still under investigation. (US Weekly)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

The six string Janis Joplin used to record her signature song is expected to go for six figures on the auction block. It's a 1969 Gibson Hummingbird acoustic and Janis played it while recording "Me and Bobby McGee." After Janis died in 1970, it was given to her old bandmate, Sam Andrew. Andrew died last year, and now his wife is auctioning it off through Heritage Auctions. Heritage says the guitar is a big deal because Janis memorabilia is very hard to come by ... hence the $100,000 price tag, at least. Don't worry ... for that kinda money you get some extras ... like the doily Janis used to clean the guitar. Doilies, nothing screams rock 'n' roll like legendary doilies. The auction runs through November 12.(TMZ)

It's Official: 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Is Taking Place in Paris. Pack your bags! Victoria's Secret announced in a video Monday that the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be taking place in Paris for the first time ever. In the teaser video, the models receive text messages telling them to pack their bags before learning that they'll be traveling to the City of Light for this year's event. Although the show's location is incredible, there are still plenty more questions surrounding the highly anticipated show, including which lucky Angel will be wearing the famous multi-million dollar Fantasy Bra. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows have been typically filmed in New York City, but the iconic event relocated in 2014 when it filmed in London. Sixteen years ago the show also taped in Cannes, which means that it's still the show's first time taking place in Paris but not necessarily France. Already set to walk are VS veterans Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Aldridge, as well as Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Josephine Skriver, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell and Taylor Hill. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air on Dec. 5, 2016, on CBS at 10 p.m. ET. (Eonline)

Minions Set to Take Over Universal Studios Japan With New Theme Area. Universal Studios Japan is about to become the minions' brand new home. Minion Park, the world's largest minion area, will soon make its way to Osaka in early 2017, Universal Studios Japan announced in a press release. The theme park will include a hotel, sweets factory and theater-based attraction called Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem, which will replace the since-closed Back to the Future attraction. In the future ride, park visitors will be able to join the film's signature characters, including Gru and his three young daughters as they are "recruited for his latest scheme," as Entertainment Weekly described. The cherry on the animated pie? Riders will be able to turn into minions, too. As the magazine reported, the ride will "include a run through Gru's laboratory and a quick flight through the air before a crash landing brings riders back to Earth." The design includes visuals that will be laser-projected in front of riders onto a dome surrounding the vehicles. It's not the only fresh attraction to grace the Universal Studios family next year. The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon will be the face of his very own ride at Universal Studios Orlando come 2017. As he announced in October 2015, the attraction will be called Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon. "It's fun and it looks just like the studio. Everyone in the studio, [announcer] Steve Higgins and The Roots, is going to be talking about it and they're in it," he said of the 3D attraction during his show last year. "I wish I could give all the details. I don't know what I'm allowed to say. I can't say anything," he teased. "They're working on it now. 2017 is when it comes out." (Eonline)

Josephine Skriver may be a Victoria's Secret model, but she says the job does not come with swag. "I do not get free stuff... People lend stuff to me, but I have to give it right back. I still have to pay for things. Obviously there are a few perks here and there, but I am just as normal as anyone when I go to the supermarket," she told us. She added of her job, "Thank God for makeup... Being a woman, you will always have hormones messing up everything. So if I have a huge pimple before a photo shoot, makeup is key." (Page Six)

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Treat King Cairo to a Magical Day at Disneyland Before Welcoming Their baby Girl. The cold never bothered this couple anyway. As light rain covered the Disneyland Resort Sunday afternoon, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna still made it their mission to enjoy a family day with King Cairo. Joined by Amber Rose and her son, the group was spotted at both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure enjoying plenty of rides and attractions. According to Snapchat, Rob and Chyna were able to stop and snap some photos alongside the Paradise Pier before enjoying Toy Story Mania. "You know I had to win," Chyna shared on the popular app after experiencing the ride. "I win!" During the cloudy day, Rob kept things casual in a black button-down and matching shorts. As for Chyna, she chose a comfortable hooded sweatshirt and black pants as she traveled throughout the park by her man's side. The visit to the Happiest Place on Earth -- that included stops on Soarin' Around the World and Pirates of the Caribbean -- comes just a couple of weeks before Chyna is expected to welcome her first child with Rob. Earlier this month, the Rob & Chyna star celebrated her upcoming arrival with a co-ed baby shower. Close to 80 guests including Scott Disick enjoyed an afternoon that featured a belly dancer, photo booth and various games including bobbing for nipples. "It was such a fun party. Rob and Chyna had the best time. Rob and Scott arrived together right at the beginning and Rob was the last to leave," a source shared with E! News. "He was so happy, very very excited about being a dad." Until her due date hits, Chyna is enjoying her second pregnancy with those closest to her. And yes, she may have even treated herself to a nice push present before becoming a mother of two. "A little gift to myself for working this hard all year!" she wrote on Instagram when showcasing her new Rolls Royce. "Can't wait to bring my baby girl home!" (Eonline)

Jeff Bridges walks into a bar and orders a White Russian, minus the cream and Kahlua ... according to The Dude himself. We got Jeff in NYC and asked if people try to drink the famous cocktail from the "The Big Lebowski" with him ... sounds like they do. But Jeff seems to like his Russians clear. Turns out he's also still a fan of a good cigar, and now that the embargo on Cuban goods is lifted ... The Dude might abide. (TMZ)

Drake celebrated his BIG 3-0 Sunday night with a stacked guest list that put their differences aside, namely exes Taylor Swift and John Mayer, as well as Katy Perry. Taylor rolled into Delilah in WeHo flanked by squad members Karlie Kloss and the Haim sisters, but what's interesting is that Mayer also showed up. Perry was there too, however our photogs didn't capture her going in or out. Taylor infamously penned the breakup song "Dear John", which Mayer has always said took him by surprise. Same goes for Perry and Swift's track "Bad Blood." No word how things went down inside. Also there ... Jamie Foxx, French Montana, Shay Mitchell and Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, who didn't look like he had any problems scoring dates for the party. (TMZ)

Gilbert Arenas' infamous $111 MILLION contract with the Washington Wizards is finally about to expire ... and Gilbert says he will be so poor, he won't be able to afford private school for his kids. Gilbert signed the 6-year guaranteed contract back in 2008 -- but according to new court filings in his family law case, obtained by TMZ Sports, Arenas will get his last installment on October 31st (the contract was paid out over 8 years). It was good while it lasted ... and Gilbert knew it when he spoke to our photog about the contract in 2013. The problem, Arenas says ... is now that he's no longer getting NBA checks, he'll only earn $169,895 per year in investment income ... not enough to live the BALLER lifestyle he's used to. So, Arenas says he has to make some serious cuts -- and one of the items on the chopping block is the private school where he sends his kids ... which runs $91,600 per year. "I anticipate that the children will need to transfer to public schools in 2017 and beyond." For the record, Arenas reportedly made more than $160 MILLION during his NBA career ... not including tens of millions in endorsements. (TMZ)

Wild speculation is already swirling over where disgraced "Today" anchor Billy Bush could land after his disastrous Donald "grab 'em by the p?-?-?-?y" Trump scandal. Meanwhile, sources exclusively tell Page Six that before Bush ignominiously exited "Today" -- after a little more than a month on the job with a reported $10 million settlement -- he'd bought a luxe townhouse in Chelsea to relocate from LA to Manhattan for the gig, but will now sell it off. After Bush appeared in the infamous "Access Hollywood" video with Trump, sources told Page Six that he could next appear on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," the same show that brought Ryan Lochte onboard for a shot at redemption after the swimmer's Rio Olympics scandal. (Ironically, Lochte's lying interview about his "robbery" in Rio was captured by Bush when he began his "Today" stint.) But a source close to Bush told. (Page Six)

Arnold Schwarzenegger Wishes He Were Running for President in 2016. As if the presidential election weren't crazy enough... Imagine how different the United States might be if Arnold Schwarzenegger were the nation's next commander-in-chief. As Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continue to campaign for votes ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8, Schwarzenegger is confessing that he too wants a chance to lead the country. "If I'd been born in America, I would've run," the Austrian-American actor reveals in Adweek's Oct. 24 issue. "Because now? This was a very good time to get in the race." So says the man who now has Trump's old job. Schwarzenegger, who served for two terms as Governor of California from 2003 to 2011, will succeed the Republican candidate as host of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice beginning Jan. 2, 2017. Whether Schwarzenegger votes for Clinton or a candidate from another party is unknown. What is known, though, is that after Trump's lewd conversation with Billy Bush from 2005 leaked online, Schwarzenegger publicly announced that he will not be supporting the nominee. "For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for president. As proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else: American," Schwarzenegger, who has been named Adweek's Brand Visionary honoree, told his Twitter followers Oct. 8. "So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party -- it is your duty." Looking back at his own time in office, he admits, "I didn't love politics, but I love policy." Love him or hate him, no one can deny Schwarzenegger's hustle. In fact, it's one of the many reasons he was brought in to replace Trump. "I realized early on in bodybuilding that you have to be able to sell yourself, your ideas, your position to the public. You have to set yourself apart, whether it's policy or movies," Schwarzenegger says. "How do you make them remember you?" James Cameron, who cast Schwarzenegger in the Terminator franchise in the '80s, says the actor is one of the most focused people he's ever worked with throughout his career. "The biggest mistake with Arnold is to underestimate him. He said, 'Let me be clear: I don't want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star.' I kind of laughed into my sleeve because it seemed unfathomable from where he was starting," he recalls. "But within a handful of years..." So, what will Schwarzenegger do next? "It has to sound appealing to me, it has to be challenging, it has to be something I can get consumed in," the actor tells Adweek. "It's fun to climb the mountain rather than sit at the top."

Grace VanderWaal didn't just get $1 million for winning "America's Got Talent" ... she also nailed down an extra $100 grand, and a slew of possible bonuses. The 12-year-old 'AGT' winner from this past summer is set to receive the $100k advance for her 1st album, and then an additional $100k if the record pushes more than 500,000 units in its first year. According to her contract, Grace is eligible for up to 4 renewals of her deal with Simon Cowell's record label, SYCO -- and each one comes with another $100k. She rode her original tune, "I Don't Know My Name" all the way to the 'AGT' crown, and if she's got a few more hits up her sleeve ... the kid's set for life. (TMZ)

Britney Spears Nearly Loses Her Top During Las Vegas Concert Wardrobe Malfunction. This top drove Britney Spears crazy. During her Las Vegas residency show on Saturday, it was business as usual for the 34-year-old pop icon as she made her way through another performance of her Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. However, things almost went horribly wrong when her black bra top unfastened during "I Love Rock N' Roll." In a video of the wardrobe malfunction shot by a fan, Spears was seen keeping her cool as two backup dancers tried to put the straps back together. Though they quickly popped apart again, the songstress continued to perform as best as she could in place, poking fun at the awkward moment by crossing her eyes and making funny faces. Fortunately, her dancers were able to get the costume tied as she moved into the next part of the musical medley. After transitioning into her hit "Gimme More," a backup dancer generously took off his collared shirt and offered it to the star to put over her bra and cut-off vest. She quickly put it on and carried on with the routine as usual because, if there's anything a lifetime of performing has taught her, it's that the show must go on. This isn't the first time she's faced a wardrobe malfunction in Las Vegas. Just a week earlier, Spears was performing her routine for "3" in a black sheer bodysuit when it suddenly became unzipped and stuck. Though several backup dancers tried to pull the suit together, no one could get the costume to seal back up, but she carried on without hesitation. Instead, Spears finished the routine with her entire back exposed -- because no wardrobe malfunction will ever get Britney down. (Eonline)

Drake Announces Project More Life, Releases New Music. Drake is more than making up for those cancelled tour dates. The rapper announced Sunday night a new project titled More Life. Instead of a mixtape, More Life will be a playlist of original music, according to Complex. It will be released in December. Here is Drake's announcement in full: "I'm off like mixtapes, I want to do a playlist. I want to give you a collection of songs that become the soundtrack to your life, so this More Life: The Playlist. Like I said, dropping in December. All original music from me. You might hear some tunes from the family on there. Just really excited. I had a great tour, I had a great summer. And most people would like go probably take a break, but for me I just want to get right back to it. Be with the people again. "Boy Meets World Tour, coming up soon. UK, I'll be there soon. Big up to UK massive. Everybody -- Paris, Amsterdam, Sweden, anywhere we are touching down. But yeah, I just want to celebrate life. More life. That's what we live by. That's something we not take for granted." Although December isn't too far away, Drake gave fans three new songs, including a remix with U.K. artist Santan Dave called "Wanna Know," to hold them over until More Life's release. The new songs, "Two Birds, One Stone," "Sneakin'" featuring 21 Savage and "Fake Love" are set to appear on the December release. On "Two Birds," Drake shouts out to Lil Wayne and takes more shots at Kid Cudi, who blasted him on Twitter. "I like your old s--t, but wasn't in love with the latest," he raps. "You were the Man on the Moon, now you just go through your phases." Are you excited for Drake's project? (Eonline)

Inside Bruno Mars' Triumphant Return: How the Grammy Winner Continues to Surprise the Music Industry. Bruno Mars, it's great to have you back. As the Grammy winner appeared on stage Saturday night for CBS Radio's We Can Survive concert, fans weren't just excited to hear the hit maker's latest single. They were also thrilled to see the artist back on stage in his first major concert since his Super Bowl halftime performance. In front of more than 17,000 screaming fans, the 31-year-old and his eight-person band got the crowd on its feet as he played through his biggest hits including "Marry You" and "Treasure." "Are you ready to party tonight?" he asked the crowd while wearing a simple pair of shorts, track jacket and baseball cap. "It's been a while. It feels good." It was all the way back in 2012 when fans were able to hear a new album from the singer. But after releasing the first single from his forthcoming album earlier this month, Bruno has quickly reminded fans, critics and industry members alike why he's one of the best. The first track titled "24K Magic" appeared in the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 marking his highest debut to date. He also defied expectations when he took the track to Saturday Night Live earlier this month. Instead of following past artists by performing entirely on stage, Bruno decided to start the performance backstage where cameras followed the singer and his backup dancers through the studio. They eventually arrived on the stage, but not until the song was nearly halfway over. "As soon as you put this album on, you're going to be taken for a ride," Bruno recently shared with Carson Daly on 97.1 AMP Radio. "This album is the best album I've ever done. Out of all three of them this is the one!" It's quite the proclamation from an artist who has already found huge success with his past albums that helped him receive 20 Grammy nominations. But after working on this latest album with his team for several months, the artist knows the finished product is something special. "It's very important that the world hears this album in its entirety," he explained when teasing the nine songs that don't include any special guests. "On this album, I really focused on giving you one continuous wave." While a tour has yet to be announced, it's already on the singer's radar. And because we're talking about the one and only Bruno Mars, this tour isn't going to be your average show. "Just get ready. It's gonna be something you've never seen before. And we're gonna have fun," he teased to Carson and his listeners. "You ain't seen nothing yet." As the suspense continues for his album release on November 18, Bruno is already set to open the 2016 American Music Awards. And no matter what comes next, the singer is simply grateful for what he's been able to accomplish. "This album I couldn't be more proud of," he shared on 104.3 MYFM's Valentine in the Morning. "It's everything I wanted. To me, this album is why I fell in love with music." (Eonline)

Charlie Puth Cancels the Rest of His "Don't Talk" Tour After Feeling "Extremely Sick." Charlie Puth is putting the brakes on his "Don't Talk" tour. The "One Call Away" singer took to Twitter Sunday afternoon to share an important message with fans. After battling the flu earlier this month, Charlie announced that he needs to stop performing and recover away from the stage. "Unfortunately I have to cancel the remaining dates on my Don't Talk Tour. This is the last thing I want because I love being on the road performing and meeting every one of you," he wrote to his 826,000 followers. "You are the reason I can do what I love most for a living and I am so thankful." He continued, "I have been extremely sick pushing through these dates and haven't taken the time my body needs to recover. Resting and taking time off the road is the only way I can get better and start performing for you again." The announcement comes less than a day after the "Marvin Gaye" singer traveled to the Hollywood Bowl to perform at CBS Radio's We Can Survive Concert. In front of a sold-out crowd, Charlie admitted that he was getting over the flu but was still able to perform his biggest hits including "We Don't Talk Anymore" and "One Call Away" during a 30-minute set. Earlier this month, the 24-year-old had to cancel shows after getting the flu and losing his voice. He even Instagrammed from the doctor's office with the word, "damn." Ultimately, Charlie assures fans that he wants to come back to the stage sooner rather than later. But for now, it's all about healing. "I promise I will do whatever I can to make it up to you," he shared on Twitter. "I love you so much. I'm deeply sorry." We're wishing Charlie a speedy recovery. (Eonline)

Neil Young, My Morning Jacket & Roger Waters Cover Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young' at Bridge School Benefit. Roger Waters capped his Saturday (Oct. 22) set at the Bridge School Benefit concert with an all-star cover of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young." As part of the former Pink Floyd singer/songwriter's set at the annual acoustic benefit show organized by Neil Young and Pegi Young, Waters teamed with his pals in My Morning Jacket (who backed him at the 2015 Newport Folk Festival) and Young for the nearly seven-minute tip of the hat to the recently crowned Nobel Prize in Literature winner. This year's roster for the fall tradition at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, also featured unplugged sets by Metallica, My Morning Jacket, Norah Jones, Cage the Elephant, Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson and case/lang/veirs. The Bridge School Benefit Concerts raise money for the Bridge School nonprofit organization, which helps children with severe speech and physical impairments. Pegi Young helped found the school in 1987 with money raised from the first concert in 1986, after she was unable to find a suitable school placement for her son with Neil Young who is non-verbal and suffers from cerebral palsy.

Justin Bieber Drops Mic, Walks Off After Urging Fans to Stop Screaming. Justin Bieber took the nuclear option when screaming fans in Manchester, England wouldn't settle down: he walked off stage. The Canadian pop star's frustrations came to a head during the last of three Purpose tour dates at Manchester's Arena. Bieber walked after pleading with fans to quieten down in the pause between songs (to no effect). "I appreciate all the support, I appreciate love I appreciate the kind things," Bieber told fans Sunday night (Oct. 23). "But the screaming in these breaks has got to stop. Please and thank you. I don't think it's necessary when I'm trying to say something and you guys are screaming." When his Beliebers continued to squeal, he dropped his microphone and left the stage. Some fans booed as he walked off, the BBC reports. Bieber has struggled with the noise from his fans during the U.K. leg of his tour. He made headlines last week when he told fans at a show in Birmingham to "take a chill pill" after insisting, "the screaming is just so obnoxious." At another show, he tried -- and failed -- once more to have a deep conversation with his audience as they continued to holler. The pop star's tour moves on to Birmingham's Genting Arena on Monday night (Oct. 24). (Billboard)

Solange is Coming to 'SNL'. Mark it in your diary: Solange Knowles is coming to Saturday Night Live. The R&B star will make her first-ever appearance on the Nov. 5 episode of SNL, where she'll perform two songs from her chart-topping album A Seat at the Table. Solange's SNL musical guest slot caps a month of firsts for the singer and songwriter. The Houston-born artist earned her first No. 1 when A Seat at the Table arrived at the summit of the Billboard 200 earlier in October, almost four years after her True album debuted and peaked at No. 157. Because Solange and Beyonce have now both topped the albums chart, they become the first pair of solo sisters to have done so. Doctor Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch will be the SNL episode's host on the night. (Billboard)

Having spent almost her entire life in the limelight as one of the most beloved pop stars in the world, Britney Spears is a consummate professional. Whether she's carrying a seven-foot boa constrictor seductively across a stage, giving us the height of millennial fashion in a coordinated denim gown with Justin Timberlake, or simply displaying her unparalleled ability to Google Image search corn, it seems the singer has got it all under control. Even when her bondage-inspired top threatens to totally expose her in the midst of her Las Vegas review. Thanks to a video taken by an audience member, it appears that on Sunday during her performance of "I Love Rock n' Roll" and "Gimme More" the harness neckline that held Britney's bra top in place came unfastened after her hair got stuck in one of the buckles. As the singer danced about, the straps popped off again, but she stopped the wardrobe malfunction in its tracks, clasping her hand to her chest to keep from over exposure. A number of dancers rushed to her aid, re-attaching the straps as best they could. Though her top appeared to be fixed and secure, the singer continued to struggle with keeping it in place as she moved on to the next portion of her musical medley. Thankfully, one of her back-up dancers was kind enough to take the shirt of his own back and put it over Britney who ducked down to button it up before continuing on and finishing off the performance without a hitch. And this isn't the first time she's experienced one of her Pieces of Me costumes going rogue either. Earlier this week, the same fan captured yet another video of Britney performing "3" in a sheer black bodysuit with opaque paneling which began to unzip down the back, exposing the top of her white g-string. Despite her dancers best attempts to re-fasten it, the catsuit continued to gape open, but Britney chose to continue on as though it was all just a part of the show. Just one of the millions of reasons the aughts superstar is more than deserving of her very own Lifetime bio-pic. (People)

MTV President Sean Atkins Steps Down After One Year. He announced the news in an early morning note to his staff on Monday. MTV president Sean Atkins is stepping down, he announced in the below note to his staff on Monday. Atkins, who just joined the Viacom cable network in September of 2015, said he would stay on through January to consult on the transition. Atkins replaced longtime executive Stephen Friedman, who opted last year not to renew his contract, after serving as MTV president since 2011 and had been with the company since 1998. The new MTV president joined from Discovery Communications, where he had served as GM and exec vp digital media strategy. Prior to Discovery Atkins was senior vp digital media at HBO where he helped conceptualize what became HBOGo and was before that head of programming and development at Yahoo Entertainment. Atkins' departure is just the latest exit from MTV, which in 2015 saw president of programming Susanne Daniels leave for a similar post at YouTube and MTV Networks Music & Logo Group president Van Toffler leave in February of that year after a 28-year run at the company. When he joined MTV, Viacom Music and Entertainment Group president Doug Herzog said of Atkins, "Sean is smart, creative, passionate and remarkably energized about the sea change at hand in our industry. The strength of MTV lies in its ability to constantly reinvent, and Sean's forward-thinking, versatile leadership will ensure our brand and business continue to evolve and deliver for our audience." Viacom and CBS Corp., both controlled by Sumner Redstone's National Amusements, are currently exploring a possible recombination.

Christian Slater was flanked by go-go boys jiggling in jockstraps at East Village gay bar the Cock on Thursday night for the after-party of his new flick "King Cobra." Attendees at the sweaty soiree sipped Svedka cocktails and took home gift bags filled with lube. Slater was debating with director Justin Kelly about whether to fork over a few dollar bills to the dancers, but Slater didn't have any bills on him, according to a spy. Before the wild party, Slater dished about sex scenes at the IFC premiere of the twisted film about the real-life murder of a gay-porn producer by a rival smut peddler. Slater said he told Kelly he didn't want co-star James Franco to one-up him on-screen. "James was going to be doing the lion's share of the sexual aspects [of the film] and then I got competitive... We even improv'd some stuff," he said during a Q&A before adding, "OK, I'll stop -- but yeah, great direction!" Kelly chimed in that Slater and actor Garrett Clayton had one spontaneous moment when "[Christian] pushes him up against the closet door... That was not written or planned. That [was] Christian saying, 'Where's my gay sex scene?'?" Slater, who's married to Brittany Lopez, added, "Garrett was damn cute. Let's get honest about it here." (Page Six)

Rome Film Fest: Ralph Fiennes Pays Tribute to Late 'English Patient' Director at Anniversary Screening. Juliette Binoche, who said she was well-prepared with a purse full of tissues, dedicated the screening to Anthony Minghella's widow, Carolyn Choa. Actors Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Kristin Scott Thomas and Julian Wadham and producer Paul Zaentz gathered in Rome for the 20th anniversary of their film The English Patient. The mood at the anniversary was somber as the cast dedicated the film to the late director, Anthony Minghella, who passed in 2008 from a hemorrhage. Binoche, announcing she was well-prepared with a purse full of tissues, dedicated the screening to Minghella's widow, Carolyn Choa, who was visibly moved by the event. Zaentz also asked the dozens of Italian crew members in the audience who had worked on the film to stand up, as Minghella would have wanted them also to receive recognition on the historic night. The English Patient, a tragic romance set against the backdrop of WWII, won an astonishing nine Academy Awards in 1997, including best picture, best director and best supporting actress. Fiennes, who has now directed two films himself, reminisced on being greatly influenced by Minghella on his own sets, through the director's patience, sense of humor and overall his collaborative spirit. "I remembered the way that he nurtured the skills of all his heads of department, and wanted their input and wanted their artistry and wanted the gift that they brought," said Fiennes. "Anthony engendered this unique spirit of collaboration, and every single person working on this film, and of course his other films, felt that their contribution to the film had real value," said Fiennes. "That they were not just there to feed into the director's vision, they were part of the vision, they helped to make the vision. And he made people feel the value of their work." "He created this extraordinary atmosphere," continued the actor, who was also nominated for an Oscar on the film. "And I think it's because of this bigness of heart, that he had as a human being and as an artist. I feel sure that's why we are here." Producer Zaentz also praised the Italian crew at Cinecitta that worked on the film in helping the film overcome its many financial troubles. Made for $33 million, the film went on to gross $231.98 million globally. "At one point, a representative of the crew in public pre-production came to me and said, 'Please, if you can tell us there is a 50 percent chance that this movie will work, will happen, we will work the next two weeks without getting paid, as long as you tell us what we will be paid in the future, because we want to make this movie. We love this script.'" "And the management at Cinecitta let us stay there for three months, using the sets, building the sets, without paying our bills because they trusted us that eventually they would get paid," recalled Zaentz. "It was just such a wonderful experience." Zaentz also spoke on working with the Weinsteins, who scored Miramax's first best Oscar win on the picture. "The Weinsteins didn't really have any artistic input into the film," said Zaentz. They got involved when the script was finished, when it was cast, they left us alone in the editing process. I think Harvey realized with Anthony and Saul [Zaentz] and Walter Murch that the film was in the best capable hands. But they did a hell of a job marketing and promoting it." Fiennes again credited Minghella for the film's extraordinary success. "I remember reading an early draft, but a strong draft, and I think Anthony just tapped some extraordinary emotion, in a story of the past, and a story of the war, and a story of loss and regret," said Fiennes. "And with great intelligence and extraordinary sensitivity, he did that thing which the great love stories on film do, they just make it universal. And I remember being moved to tears by all these elements, [even] before we were making it." (Hollywood Reporter)

Fuller House Gets in the Halloween Spirit in The Season 2 First Look Photos. It's time to get spooky, Tanneritos! Halloween will have come and gone by the time season two of Fuller House drops on Netflix this December, but that isn't stopping the gang on the successful revival series from celebrating the holiday! In an upcoming episode, everyone gets into the fun and E! News has your exclusive first look at the cast in costume. As you can see in the pic, D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) and her boys Jackson (Michael Campion), Max (Elias Harger), and Tommy (twins Dashiell and Fox Messitt) need to cut. it. out. with the cuteness in their Goldilocks and the Three Bears costumes! Throwing it way back for their costumes, Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) and her ex-hubby Fernando (newly minted series regular Juan Pablo Di Pace) are paying homage to one of TV's most ionic couples: Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. It may be hard to tell underneath all that creepy zombie makeup, but Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy's brother Jimmy (Adam Hagenbuch) scaring the bejesus out of Jackson and Kimmy's daughter Ramona (Soni Bringas). As E! News exclusively reported, Jimmy will have a significant recurring guest role in the upcoming season. From the looks of things, the Tanner-Fuller household is being converted into one heck of a haunted house for the episode. We don't remember the part in the story when Goldilocks lost a hand, and from the looks of D.J.'s audience, neither do they. How rude! Are you looking forward to Halloween done the Fuller House way? Whose costume is your favorite. Season two of Fuller House drops on Netflix Friday, Dec. 9. (Eonline)

The Walking Dead: Negan's Victim Opens Up About "Messed Up" and "Brave" Exit. Warning: The following contain spoilers from the season seven premiere of The Walking Dead. If you haven't watched yet, you might want to bookmark this page and come back once you have. Proceed with caution. As it is written, so shall it be. That was Steven Yeun's thought process behind accepting his character Glenn's death in the season seven premiere of The Walking Dead. Keeping in line with the show's comic book source material, the beloved character met his maker at the hands of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his trusty Lucille (aka his barbed-wire-covered bat). Though it seemed like he was in the clear when Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) was made into Negan's first victim, that relief (if you can even call it that) was merely momentary as Negan decided one victim wasn't enough. And, as Yeun admitted on the Talking Dead post show, he didn't want that iconic moment going to anyone else. "Personally, for me, I think the death in the comic -- Robert [Kirkman] wrote such a messed up, but at the same time incredible, way to take something away to make a story as impactful as it is," he said. "And when you read that comic, you kind of don't want that to go to anyone else. It's such an iconic moment... It's such a gnarly thing to say, but sincerely, living that out was very wild, but at the same time, that moment happening on television... I think is brave and super affecting." That said, Yeun admitted that having to keep the character's ultimate fate under wraps for all these months "came with its own set of difficulties." "It was fun to lie to people for a minute, but after a while, you just can't lie anymore," he added. "So, I just stopped talking to people." Showrunner Scott M. Gimple revealed that the decision to off both characters at once was made "inside two years." While it was the show's most brutal scene to date, Gimple argued that it had to be. "I think the hardest thing about it was thinking about, starting the script, what would break Rick... but looking for a way to break the audience too," he said. "That the audience would go through the experience too so that the audience would believe Rick would do what this guy says." The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC. (Eonline)

The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere Finally Reveals Negan's Victim. Warning: The following contains spoilers from the season premiere of The Walking Dead. If you haven't watched yet, bookmark this page and get the heck out of here. Proceed with caution. After a six month wait that felt more like six years, The Walking Dead is finally back and we've finally got some resolution to the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. After forcing us to relive that horrific death scene that closed out season six of the AMC hit, this time we actually saw who it was on the receiving end of those death blows from Lucille. So who did Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) take out? The dearly departed was none other than Abraham (Michael Cudlitz). As Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the rest of the gang were forced to watch helplessly, Negan unleashed a fury onto Abraham the likes of which the show has never really seen. This is uncharted territory. This is Negan's world, now. Of course, thanks to Darryl's (Norman Reedus) inability to keep cool, Negan felt forced to take another victim. And it was time for Glenn (Steven Yeun) to die like we expected him to. "Maggie, I'll find you," Glenn said, his head split open. "I'm going to kill you," Rick promised in the immediate aftermath. "Not today, not tomorrow, but I'm gonna kill you." Negan didn't like that. So he dragged him into an RV, hatchet in tow, drove him into the wilderness, forced him to fight off some walkers, and then ordered him to chop Carl's (Chandler Riggs) hand off. Thankfully, we were spared that last bit of misery once Negan had the proof that he'd sufficiently broken Rick's resolve. Oh, and he took Daryl hostage, threatening to send Rick pieces of him if they didn't begin making their payments. Like we said, it's Negan's world now. Were you surprised by which character bit the dust or were you expecting it all along? The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC. (Eonline)

Does Jacqueline Laurita Have Any Friends Left on The Real Housewives of New Jersey? This has not been an easy season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for Jacqueline Laurita and, by the looks of things, she might not have a friend left among the cast by the time next week's season finale is over. After her blowout battles with Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga earlier this season during that disastrous Vermont trip, she's gone ahead and pushed away another ally. This time, it's Dolores Catania. And the reason is so dumb, we can't believe it's actually an issue. In the final moments of the night's new episode, while driving with Siggy Flicker to Melissa's fashion show, Dolores revealed that she'd gotten into an argument off-camera with Jacqueline over the innocuous phone call Dolores made to her sick friend during the Ladies' Night at her gym. Dolores said she simply wanted to see if Jacqueline was feeling well (she'd lost her voice and wasn't doing too hot), leaving her a voice mail to let her know she was thinking about her. But according to Dolores, Jacqueline saw it as an attempt to set her up and make her look bad for not showing up to the event. So, apparently Jacqueline threatened Dolores and said she was going to tell people she didn't show up because she was left off the flyer. Like we said, dumb. Dolores wasn't having any of it. "'F you,' I said, actually," she told Siggy. "I text her, 'Answer the phone so I can say this to your face.'" "What is really going on with Jacqueline?" Siggy wondered, echoing what many viewers have probably been wondering this season as well. Will anyone in the cast even be speaking to Jacqueline by the time the reunion rolls around? Only time will tell. The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. (Eonline)
