It's no secret that Cheryl might be pregnant with Liam Payne's baby. Sunday the former X Factor judge was snapped in London covering her stomach with a caramel colored coat. And Sunday night, in Paris, she attended a swish L'Oreal event - and all eyes were on her tummy. Could there be a baby bump in there? The L'Oreal spokeswoman arrived at the L'Oreal Paris Gold Obsession Party and looked gorgeous. Cheryl and her One Direction star boyfriend went public with their relationship back in February and it seems the two are closer than ever now, with rumors of Cheryl's "pregnancy" circulating the internet. The 33-year-old entertainer's mum was spotted shopping for baby clothes in the NEXT sale last week, and last month, fans were convinced that she carrying Liam's baby due to her suspiciously over-sized choice of clothing and "fuller face" in the new L'Oreal advert. Liam has also created suspicion as he changed his Twitter bio to "luckiest man in the world". We wonder why that is... (British Glamour)

Kate Moss has reportedly "quietly" reached a formal separation agreement with former husband Jamie Hince. The model and The Kills guitarist married in 2011 but split last year after four years of marriage. A source told The Mirror: "They reached an agreement some time ago, and neither of them wanted to make a spectacle of this. "Instead, they agreed things between themselves and have quietly made the split formal without going through any sort of high profile legal battle." It has been reported Kate - who has 14-year-old daughter Lila with her former partner Jefferson Hack - has been granted the majority of their wealth, and Jamie is believed to have acquired possessions the former couple acquired during their four-year marriage, including paintings and other artworks. Since the split, Kate has moved on and reportedly found love with Count Nikolai von Bismarck. There are rumors the pair are engaged to be married. (British Glamour)

Lindsay Lohan Undergoes Surgery After Losing Half Her Finger in Boat Anchor Accident. Lindsay Lohan just had a major scare. While boating Sunday, the actress nearly lost her left-hand ring finger after getting caught up in the boat's anchor. "This is why I shouldn't try to help get the rope to anchor the boat. I lost half of my finger," she tweeted. According to TMZ, the 30-year-old was entangled by the anchor's rope and it pulled her down into the water. In the process of trying to untangle herself, the anchor cut off the top of her finger. Fortunately, she was able to find the missing piece, see a surgeon and get the finger repaired.

Things got a little hot in the kitchen of Brandi Glanville's new cooking show, we're told. Glanville and celebrity chef Cat Cora -- who is one of the judges on the upcoming competition series "My Kitchen Rules" -- had a fling while shooting the Fox show. Insiders say that she "had this whole lesbian relationship" with Cora, who recently divorced her wife, Jennifer, after being together 17 years. We're told that the pair were "hooking up" for about two weeks and enjoyed spending time together. But Glanville cooled things off with the former "Iron Chef" star because she didn't want to be in a serious relationship with another woman. "They're just friends now," said the source. As Page Six reported, Glanville is now dating a single father who she met on Tinder. The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has talked about her flirtations with the same sex in the past. "I love beautiful people, and if you're a man you're a man, if you're a woman you're a woman. I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not straight." she told HuffPo Live in 2014. Cora's reps did not respond to a request for comment by deadline. (Page Six)

Kim Kardashian Unharmed After Being Held at Gunpoint Inside Her Paris Hotel Room. Kim Kardashian's trip to Paris took a frightening turn Sunday evening. While overseas for Paris Fashion Week, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was held at gunpoint inside her hotel room, E! News can confirm. "Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening, by two armed masked men dressed as police officers," Kim's spokesperson shared with E! News. "She is badly shaken but physically unharmed." The news comes shortly after Kanye West suddenly ended his concert at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival in Queens, New York. A concertgoer tells E! News that in the middle of performing "Heartless," the rapper learned of a "family emergency" and left the stage. The venue later posted on social media with the message, "Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early. Please get home safely." Back in Paris, E! News has learned that Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were also in town for Fashion Week. Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian were both in the states when the incident occurred. "There's a lot happening right now to make sure everyone is safe," a source told E! News. Just hours before the scary incident, Kim was documenting her day on Snapchat. Between visiting the Yeezy show room, watching the Balenciaga fashion show and getting dinner with friends, the E! reality star had a full day of activities. She also made time to Snapchat with Blac Chyna during her Los Angeles baby shower that featured guests Rob Kardashian and Scott Disick. As details continue to unfold, the priority remains keeping everyone safe with the goal of returning to the states soon. When reached by E! News, Kris said of Kim: "She will be OK." (Eonline)

Kim Kardashian West's bodyguard was with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner as they partied in Paris when Kim was robbed at gunpoint in her room at the No Address Hotel. Duvier was photographed accompanying Jenner, 20, and Kourtney, 37, as they left The Peninsula Paris with Hailey Baldwin and Kim's assistant-slash-BFF Stephanie Sheppard, among others. Meanwhile, Kim was back at the hotel, FaceTiming with brother Rob Kardashian and his fiancee Blac Chyna to congratulate them on their baby shower around about 2:30 a.m.-minutes before armed robbers broke into her hotel room. One former guest at No Address Hotel tells PEOPLE that despite the exclusive clientele, there appears to be little security on site. "As I recall, there's a receptionist downstairs who buzzes you through the door in the courtyard and a nightman and that's pretty much all you see of security," the former guest says. Meanwhile, Kourtney and Kendall were out in Paris nightclub L'Arc when they got word of the incident involving Kim, a source tells PEOPLE. Kendall was pictured rushing back to Kim's hotel about 4:30 a.m. after learning of the news. A group of five, armed masked men who were dressed as police were involved in the robbery, Reuters reported, and gained access to Kim's private apartment after threatening the building's concierge with a weapon, handcuffing him and forcing him to open the residence, according to CNN. Two of the men entered Kim's room, held her at gunpoint, bound her hands and feet with tape and then locked her in the bathroom before making off with over $10 million in jewelry. In addition, Kim's purse, two cell phones and 1,000 euros were lifted, police sources told BFM TV. Sources told PEOPLE that Kim left her hotel in two vans with a police escort after giving her statement to investigators. She returned to the U.S. on Monday morning. Kim spent the week in Paris with mom Kris Jenner, as well as husband Kanye, and Kourtney and Jenner. Ahead of the incident, Kim and Kourtney attended a private dinner hosted by designer Azzedine Alaia on Sunday evening. In other photos with Kourtney and Kendall, the group could be seen leaving The Peninsula with bodyguard Duvier in tow. Earlier in the week, Duvier tackled notorious prankster Vitalli Sediuk after he attempted to grab Kim in the French city. Kim joked on Twitter earlier Sunday, "This guy is always in my shot," posting an image of herself flanked by Duvier. (People)

Paris Mayor on Kim Kardashian Armed Robbery: "The Streets Are Protected". "I have every confidence in the police to quickly identify and apprehend the perpetrators," adds Anne Hidalgo after criticism from a political opponent. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Monday spoke out about security in Paris amid global coverage of news that Kim Kardashian's had been held at gunpoint and robbed in the French capital. Hidalgo noted that the incident "occurred in a private space" and was not a reflection on safety in the city during Fashion Week. "It in no way affects the safety of Parisian public spaces ... the streets are protected," she said in a statement, citing the successful "Nuit Blanche" party that took place citywide Saturday night without incident. "I have every confidence in the police to quickly identify and apprehend the perpetrators," Hidalgo added. Her comments followed an interview from her former opponent Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and member of Nicolas Sarkozy's Les Republicans party, which has taken a hard line on security. In an interview, she had said that the robbery showed a "the municipality's lack or reaction to deal with new threats." NKM, as she's known in French political circles, also expressed concern for Kardashian and the impact on Paris tourism. "My thoughts are with Kim because what happened to her is violent and traumatic," Kosciusko-Morizet said. "And I'm also concerned about the image of Paris." She said the city has invested hundreds of thousands of euros on a tourism campaign that won't be able to make up for all the negative headlines following the Kardashian robbery. "All these advertisements are canceled by what happened to Kim Kardashian," she concluded. Tourism to Paris has been down about 6.4 percent over the summer, according to the regional tourism board, following the terrorist attacks in January and November of last year. (Hollywood Reporter)

THE OTHER STUFF . . .

Kim Kardashian is back safely in NYC with Kanye West ... and they arrived with way more security than your average head of state. There was an insane show of force as Kim, Kanye, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble pulled up outside their residence -- they had a caravan of about 10 vehicles with 15-20 bodyguards watching everything and everyone in the area. NYPD's also on the scene. The amount of security is exactly like what you see when POTUS makes an appearance. Interestingly, Pascal Duvier ... Kim's bodyguard was still with them. As we reported ... he was not at the apartment with Kim when the armed robbery went down. (TMZ)

Set phasers to "son"! A man has published a book about his quest to prove that he's William Shatner's child. In "The Search," Peter Sloan -- who goes by pen name Peter Shatner -- details a quest that led him from Canada to Switzerland in hopes of proving the "Star Trek" actor is his dad. Shatner has vehemently denied he is related to Sloan. Adopted Sloan tells Page Six he first learned of his real father after locating his mother, Canadian actress Kathy McNeil, in 1984 and says he got the scoop on his paternity from his mom's former roommate. "I found her in Switzerland in 1984 and recorded the conversation," Sloan said, claiming that the roomie confessed she walked in on McNeil and Shatner. "Two months later, she finds out she is pregnant and comes to New York to get an abortion," claims Sloan, who says McNeil was talked out of it by a Catholic friend. Although the author, 59, filed a suit against Shatner for $170 million in March, he claims that he's not looking to live long and prosper from his famous "father." "I want closure, but a DNA test would be the best," he said. "I do not think that William will take one. I have asked for it repeatedly. He may be afraid that I am going to go after his estate." But he holds out hope Shatner will claim him. Shatner's rep has said of the suit: "He isn't [Sloan's] father." (Page Six)

News. "I'm told there's some recuperation that's needed." Lucky for Blake's friend, a wedding celebration is absolutely doable. What are friends for anyway? (Eonline)

Cocktails were available and named after the mom and father-to-be. As for food, Dipped and Dripped and Cake by Ruben provided desserts after attendees enjoyed a buffet style menu consisting of seafood, meats and vegetables from Ladybug catering. "Rob has been involved in the planning. He really wants Chyna to be happy and he has been helping with the small details so that everything is to her liking," a source revealed to E! News. "Even though the shower is co-ed, he really wants it to be a special day for her." White and green hydrangeas from Petals LA filled the space as guests sipped on blinged-out glasses and bottles by Champagne Bisou. As for the decor, our insider says it was based on a color scheme of gray, whites and earthy tones. "Chyna has no idea what has been planned because Rob wants her to be surprised by all the little treats in store for her," our source shared. While many of Rob's sisters were in Paris Fashion Week Sunday, Kim Kardashian headed to Snapchat where she Facetimed with Chyna and wished her a happy shower. The afternoon celebration comes after Rob experienced some family drama over a separate baby shower being planned by his sisters. Ultimately, the reality star cleared things up Friday morning in a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest. "It was miscommunication on my end," Rob shared while On Air With Ryan Seacrest. "I thought they weren't having Chyna at our baby shower. Chyna's baby shower is actually this Sunday, but they were trying to do a little surprise 'guy' baby shower for me and I was just upset trying to fight for Chyna like, 'Yo, she has to be at the baby shower. She's birthing my child. She needs to be there.' It was literally miscommunication and I probably shouldn't have went on Twitter, but I did." He later added, "We all love each other and we're all family and I never want to beef or argue with anybody... It's so many siblings that it's hard to communicate with everybody, honestly." As for Rob and Chyna specifically, viewers have seen the couple disagree on some issues. Ultimately, both parties are focused on welcoming a happy and healthy baby girl. "We've had our days, but there's never been a doubt in my mind," Rob recently shared. "I always wanted to be with Chyna, always want to be with the woman I'm about to have a baby with." (Eonline)

James Corden loves to joke, but he's not finding anything funny about Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris. The Late Late Show host leaped to the defense of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star after Twitter trolls mocked the harrowing ordeal that took place on Monday, October 3. "People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend," he wrote. "Be nice or shut up." Kim's friend, Chrissy Teigen quickly followed suit by posting several messages to Twitter too. "No one is begging you for sympathy. I know the game plan is to naturally hate celebrities," she wrote when one fan asked her how they were supposed to feel sorry for someone who owns millions of dollars of jewelry. "Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you'd make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets." She continued: "Please do not think that I think celebrities are special snowflakes. I just miss empathy, in general for everyone." Piers Morgan tweeted: "Feel very sorry for @Kim Kardashian. Must have been a terrifying experience. #Paris #robbery." As Us Weekly reported, Kim, 35, was robbed of millions of dollars' worth of jewelry in the early hours of the morning. Five assailants dressed as cops, tied her up and locked her in the bathroom, while they raided her room. Her rep confirmed to Us: "She is badly shaken but physically unharmed." Despite her frightening ordeal, many people made light of it. "Surprised Kim Kardashian didn't snapchat the whole thing," one person tweeted while another referenced her racy outfits. "I hear she was forced to put her clothes back on." Kim's husband, Kanye West, learned of the incident while performing at Meadows Festival in Queens, New York. The 39-year-old was only 45 minutes into his set when an employee walked on stage and interrupted him with the news. "I'm sorry, I have a family emergency. I have to stop the show," West told the confused crown before cutting the music and rushing off stage as the lights went out. Their daughter, North, 3, and 9-month-old son Saint, are not believed to have been in the room at the time of the robbery. Kim has since jetted out of France on a private plane. (US Weekly)

Why Teresa Giudice Won't Say "Criminal" on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jacqueline Laurita called Teresa Giudice the "c-word" on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. No, we're not talking about "See You Next Tuesday," but "criminal," a word Teresa still refuses to say. When she called husband Joe Giudice after the big Vermont sushi/chicken wings dinner blowout, she referred to "criminal" as "the c-word." "I just don't like -- I don't consider myself that... I don't even want to say that word," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. Teresa was sentenced for 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to federal fraud charges. Joe was sentenced to 41 months and is currently serving his time. And for the first time Joe is watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa revealed.

Don't set up that blind date for Dakota Fanning just yet. The 22-year-old actress says that she's not one to put herself out there romantically, revealing that she isn't especially keen on going out on dates-and all the contrived bells and whistles that come with it. "I find dates, in general, horrific," the actress tells Town & Country in the cover story for its latest issue, out Oct. 11. "We have to sit there and ask these questions and pretend to eat a meal, and it just feels so stiff," she adds. A far better option for her? "The way I prefer to meet someone is through a friend [because that means the person] is most likely not a freak," she explains. Fanning has largely remained low-key about her personal life. She was most recently linked to British model Jamie Strachan. That kind of discretion is of paramount importance to Fanning. "I was raised by very traditional Southern parents with Southern manners," she tells Town & Country. "You don't air your dirty laundry to people that aren't your family or your friends. Why would I ever want to portray myself as anything other than together?" Still, having started out as a child star who appeared in such shows as Ally McBeal and ER at the age of 6, Fanning can't escape the fact that she has, for the majority of her life, lived in the public eye. "I've been thinking lately about how much do I care what other people's preconceived notions of me are," she says. "They definitely exist. They always will, to an extent, because I've been acting for 16 years already and I'm 22." Fanning can next be seen in American Pastoral, the highly anticipated screen adaptation of the celebrated Philip Roth novel about a family dealing with a daughter's radical actions amid the political turmoil of the 1960s and protests against the Vietnam War. It arrives in theaters on Oct. 28. (People)

Taking it back. Brody Jenner issued an apology via Instagram after he was slammed for sharing controversial comments about the Black Lives Matter movement. Last week, the 33-year-old reality star reposted one of his friends' remarks on Keith Lamont Scott, a black man who was shot and killed by a police officer in Charlotte, North Carolina, in September. "I normally don't speak about this type of stuff, but this is just ridiculous," Jenner's friend, Taylor Mosher, wrote. "I can't even watch the news anymore without getting pissed off. This has nothing to do with race. White, black, brown, any color...if you have an officer of the law telling you to exit your vehicle (or do anything for that matter)...you comply. And not only do you comply, but you do so willingly and follow directions completely. And why in the world would you exit that vehicle with a weapon in hand (allegedly?!) That makes no sense! And if, let's just say, you DON'T have a gun, why would you not put your hands up in the air and state 'I do not have a gun' so that the officers can clearly see that you don't??" Jenner reposted (and then deleted) the Instagram comment, adding, "AMEN T!!" The DJ (who is the son of Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson) immediately faced backlash on social media, prompting him to apologize for his "careless and misguided" remarks. "After taking some time to reflect and learn a lot over the last few days, I want to address my careless and misguided posts last weekend," he wrote via Instagram Friday, September 30. "Having done more research into the Black Lives Matter movement, including reading a very informative editorial [in Vanity Fair] by @lmanisviney, I realize that my comments weren't thoughtful or substantiated. I spoke out of turn on a subject I wasn't particularly educated on. It was never my intention to exacerbate an already contentious situation in our country. I am a firm supporter of the African American community and I am grateful that my mistake allowed me the opportunity to increase my own awareness of Black Lives Matter, and hope that going forward we can continue this conversation in a positive and peaceful way."

Lady Gaga Explains the Connection Between Taylor Kinney and "Perfect Illusion." Was Lady Gaga's relationship with Taylor Kinney a perfect illusion? Not exactly. When the songstress' first single off her upcoming fifth album, Joanne, hit the airwaves, fans immediately began speculating that the song had been crafted as an ode to Gaga's paused engagement to the Chicago Fire star. Two months after addressing their unexpected break on social media, Gaga released the track with a chorus that rang, "It wasn't love. It was a perfect illusion." "I would just say that my music on my album as well as all my albums is inspired by my personal life and this one more than others," she explained to E! News when asked about the song's meaning. "I have said it before -- I love Taylor so much and he's my best friend." Gaga says the song is meant to reflect a common feeling in relationships driven by the digital age -- one she has also felt. "This video is a performance of a song that I wrote of that moment about how I feel, but how I'm sure he's felt sometimes, how you have felt sometimes, how other people feel in relationships, how I see my friends struggle and become just full of rage and anger as they try to figure out how to date during a time when everybody's sort of creating these perfect illusions of themselves on the Internet and nobody really knows what's real and what isn't," she explained. "It's about all of that." To combat all of those virtual boundaries, the songstress wanted the accompanying music video to be "really pure and really honest." "Nothing was choreographed," she explained to E! News. "I didn't rehearse any of those things that you see in the video. Everything in that was just completely in the moment -- pure, raw performance of how I feel." "The intention was there to be no perfect illusions in the video about perfect illusions," she laughed. "It's so beautiful in that way. I love that opening shot in the video when it's just a silent light pouring through the hands of the fans as they're all dancing and nobody has a cell phone in their hands and everybody's got a little dirt on them and it's something that we don't do anymore." With the help of Joanne, Gaga aims to inspire that cell phone-free human connection that often feels extinct nowadays. "It's not extinct because through me and through this album, I will make it un-extinct," Gaga promised. "That is my dream." While we'll just have to wait and see if that dream comes to fruition, in the meantime, Gaga has her mind solely on the music. "I just want to do what I'm doing right in this moment. I want to sing and dance and be as close as I can to as many fans and people as possible and bring them together through music and through live performance. That's my calling and that's really what I'm most focused on," she explained. Lady Gaga will be able to do just that during intimate shows for her upcoming Dive Bar Tour in collaboration with Bud Light Music. To find out more details, fans can turn to Bud Light's Facebook page on October 5th at 10 p.m. EST. "I don't really want anything other than to make people happy through music," she concluded. "I hope that I can bring these Joanne vibes to the world." (Eonline)

I'm actually stunned still. I can't even put into words. Thank you all. I can't thank you enough."

Gray (Empire, BET's The New Edition Story) and rapper/actor Shameik Moore. For the third consecutive year, Drake headed the list of nominees with 14 nominations this time around. Taped on Sept. 17 at Atlanta's Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, the 11th annual BET Hip Hop Awards will premiere on Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. (Billboard)

John Legend to Perform at Ohio Theater Named in His Honor. Oscar- and Grammy-winning artist John Legend is set to perform at the dedication of a recently renovated $2.5 million theater that's named in his honor. The Springfield News-Sun reports Legend donated $500,000 for the project and will perform at the Oct. 9 ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 680-seat John Legend Theater at the Springfield Center of Innovation: The Dome. Legend is a graduate of Springfield North High School. The school board says it probably wouldn't have taken on the project without Legend's help. The Dome now houses several education programs, including the Greater Springfield CareerConnectED Center, where students can explore several areas including creative arts, digital media and welding. Wristbands will be distributed in advance of the performance to selected teachers, staff members, community partners and more than 100 students. (Billboard)

J. Cole Says Meadows Fest Was His Last Show 'For a Very Long Time'. J. Cole's last-moment elevation to the headliner slot at Meadows Festival in New York might have been his last performance anywhere for a good while. The Fayetteville-raised rapper told the gathered masses on Saturday that he wouldn't hit another stage for a "very long time." Cole made the surprise call near the end of his day-one performance at Citi Field in Queens, his second home. "Before I get out of here, listen," he said. "This is my last show for a very long time." The wordsmith, whose last album Forest Hills Drive dropped in 2014, didn't elaborate on his plans. Cole replaced previously-announced Saturday night headliner The Weeknd, who pulled the plug citing "unforeseen scheduling conflicts," per a release. The inaugural four-stage New York fest wrapped up Sunday night following performances from the likes of Chance The Rapper, Kygo, Sun, The and Kanye West, who bailed mid-set when he got word his wife Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room.

Shawn Mendes Earns Second No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'Illuminate'. Pop singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes notches his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with the arrival of Illuminate. The set, which was released on Sept. 23 through Island Records, earned 145,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Sept. 29, according to Nielsen Music. It also launches with 121,000 in traditional album sales-Mendes' best sales week yet. Illuminate is Mendes' second full-length album, following Handwritten, which debuted at No. 1 in 2015. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Oct. 15-dated chart (where Illuminate bows at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard's websites on Tuesday, Oct. 4. As Illuminate arrives atop the Oct. 15-dated list, that gives Mendes two No. 1 albums at just 18 years of age. More precisely, based on the new chart's date, Mendes achieves his second No. 1 at only 18 years, two months and seven days old. He was born on Aug. 8, 1998. Only five artists scored their first two No. 1 albums at such a young age: Justin Bieber claimed his second leader, Never Say Never: The Remixes, at 17 years and four days old in 2011. Miley Cyrus was just 14 years, seven months and 21 days old when Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus debuted at No. 1 in 2007. Duff was 17 years, 11 months and six days old when Most Wanted launched at No. 1 in 2005. And, LeAnn Rimes was a sprightly 15 years and 30 days old when You Light Up My Life-Inspirational Songs hit No. 1 in 1997. In addition, Mendes is the first artist to have their first two full-length studio albums hit No. 1 since nearly a year ago, when 5 Seconds of Summer bowed at No. 1 with Sounds Good Feels Good. (It followed the band's self-titled debut the previous year.) Mendes is the first male artist to claim the distinction since 2015, when A$AP Rocky bowed atop the list with At.Long.Last.A$AP, following 2013's Long.Live.A$AP. Meanwhile, Drake's Views slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on the new Billboard 200 with 50,000 units (down 5 percent) and the Suicide Squad soundtrack holds at No. 3 with 42,000 units (down 9 percent). The second debut in the new top 10 is Luke Bryan's Farm Tour... Here's to the Farmer EP, which bows at No. 4 with 34,000 units (32,000 in traditional album sales). The digital-exclusive set marks Bryan's ninth top 10 album, and eighth top 10 in a row. All eight of Bryan's charting albums from 2011's Tailgates & Tanlines to 2016's Here's to the Farmer have debuted in the top 10. He charted one additional top 10, 2009'sDoin' My Thing (which peaked at No. 6). Bruce Springsteen's new Chapter and Verse is the third and final debut in the new top 10, as it launches at No. 5 with 29,000 units (27,000 in traditional album sales). It is Springsteen's 19th top 10 album. The compilation effort is a companion piece to Springsteen's new memoir, Born to Run. The 18-track album features five previously unreleased songs, along with familiar hits like "The River," "Born to Run" and "Born in the U.S.A." Travis Scott's former No. 1, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight rises one rung to No. 6 with 27,000 units (down 15 percent), while Twenty One Pilots' Blurryface is also up one position to No. 7 with 26,000 units (down 6 percent). Jason Aldean's They Don't Know falls two spots to No. 8 with 24,000 units (down 36 percent), Rihanna's Anti jumps 12-9 with 23,000 units (down 4 percent) and Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman ascends a slot to No. 10 with almost 23,000 units (down 7 percent).

Britney Spears Clarifies Her Stance About Wanting To Collaborate With Ex Justin Timberlake! Yas, yas, YASSSSSSS! It's crazy to think that it's been about 14 years since Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake called it quits on their highly publicized relationship -- especially since the world is DESPERATE to have them musically collaborate. As you may recall, BritBrit recently hinted that she'd be down with working with her ex and when the Cry Me A River singer learned of her interest he said he was "absolutely with the idea of a duet. #RIP us. Upon hearing this news, many fans were ready to pre-order the potential single on Apple Music. However, Miz Spears has since clarified her stance on collaborating with the NSYNC alum as she dished to Rylan Clark-Neal on This Morning: "One of my friends asked me if I would do a song with him and I said 'yes,' so they took it as I really wanted to do it - and that would be fun - but yeah, I think that's [just] a lot of talk... " Ummm, that's not a no! Not to mention, back in August, the blonde beauty directly stated that her former flame was "very good" when asked about which A-listers she'd like to work with in the future. So don't play coy with us, girl! Nonetheless, when pushed harder by Clark-Neal about the reconciliation rumors, Spears replied: "You never know!" LOVES it! Regardless, the mother-of-two seems more focused on promoting her current album Glory than any potential duet with Justin. Fair, fair. On her "empowering" album, the Make Me artist noted: "It took me two years to make this and it's just been an amazing ride. I've spent really all my quality time and my heart into this, so it's very cool." (Perez Hilton)

Jack Sparrow Is Back, But Can You Spot Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Sneak Peek. Attention all moviegoers: Captain Jack Sparrow is back to sail the high seas. Fans watching Fear The Walking Dead received a spooky surprise Sunday evening when Disney decided to release the first sneak peek of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Javier Bardem and many more, the latest installment in the popular franchise features plenty of thrills and chills for loyal followers and newbies alike. The highly anticipated sneak peek comes more than a year after producer Jerry Bruckheim revealed the first photos of Johnny as Captain Jack Sparrow on social media. "Captain Jack is back and we're not letting him go," he shared on Instagram as the actor donned his signature costume featuring long hair, a scraggly beard and more than a few swords. Production also faced a hurdle last year when filming was reportedly shut down for several weeks in Australia after Johnny flew to the United States to undergo hand surgery. The latest Pirates movie also comes after Johnny faced front-page headlines for his divorce to Amber Heard. With the case now settled, some in Hollywood think the actor will still be able to succeed on the big screen. "I think Johnny has spent a very long time building his career, and a lot of people came to his defense when this happened, so I really don't think, moving forward, this is going to hurt him," The Hollywood Reporter staffer Ashley Cullins shared with E! News. "He has an H.G. Wells project that he's working on The Invisible Man, he's voicing a character in the Gnomeo and Juliet sequel, both of these things he'll be working on for the next couple of years, and by then, I don't think anybody's going to be talking about his nasty divorce with Amber Heard." She continued, "I haven't heard anyone say that they're not going to worth with either of them over this. So, both Johnny and Amber seemed to have dodged any negative career ramifications so far." The newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 26, 2017. (Eonline)

Ever since the ladies of Sex and the City went on their epic Abu Dhabi trip in the second film, we've been craving more hijinks, more drama and of course, more fashion from the fabulous foursome. And even though we've gotten our hopes up before (numerous times) for a third movie, Sarah Jessica Parker just announced it's not entirely out of the question. Parker told the Press Association that there's, "always a possibility, definitely" of a third reunion. "I don't think any of us have said no," she said. "I don't know whether it's a series or the movie. I think that remains an open question and discussion that will continue until it's been resolved." Among the many reasons we want the ladies to return is of course, their outfits. Some may criticize the zany pieces the characters wore, but we are big supporters of their bold style moves and would love a grand sartorial return. Because we couldn't help but realize... all the characters were lightyears ahead of major fashion trends. Think about it, Carrie predicted the name-embroidered craze Gigi Hadid is championing these days, Miranda was the poster child for normcore and even Aidan was rocking trends before we knew we loved them. Carrie Bradshaw was famous for fronting the nameplate necklace trend. And while that's still going strong with Olivia Munn, Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne, she had another style prediction that's become all the rage lately -- wearing personalized clothing. Gigi Hadid is the frontrunner of the trend these days (wearing her name on her clothes 15 times now), and Emily Ratajkowski, Karlie Kloss and a ton of other celebs are all fans with their must-have personalized jean jackets by Frame Denim. We're seeing a huge surge in leopard lately, everyone from preppy Reese Witherspoon to edgy Lady Gaga are incorporating the trend in their wardrobes, but Samantha Jones was definitely an early adopter of making a head-to-toe leopard look classy, not tacky. Miranda Hobbes had some of the dottiest outfits out of all the girls, but at the time we just couldn't see that she was actually just decades ahead of the normcore/athleisure trend that's everywhere today. It's even trickled down to stores like J.Crew and Madewell that encourage sweats out in public and pairing sneakers with any outfit. As for Miranda's hoodie and sunhat combo, the world still isn't ready to take on that quite yet. Charlotte York Goldenblatt always evaded falling into trendy traps by sticking to her tired and true preppy basics. But we can say she was ahead of the peplum surge before people like Melissa McCarthy and Princess Kate favored the look. Way before having a dad bod was encouraged (or considered attractive) Carrie's ex-fiance Aidan was way ahead of the curve (pun intended). (People)

Russia Reveals Plans for "Eurasian Oscars". The award is not expected to "fight Hollywood," prominent film official says. Russia has revealed plans to launch an annual awards ceremony dubbed the "Eurasian Oscars." saying the award isn't meant to "fight Hollywood." "Eurasia is a huge part of the world, which deserves more attention than it attracts today," Nikita Mikhalkov, an Oscar-winning director and head of Russia's filmmakers' union and the Moscow international film festival, was quoted as saying by news agency RIA Novosti. "[But] this is not an attempt to fight Hollywood." Mikhalkov was speaking in Crimea, a peninsular region annexed by Russia from Ukraine two years ago, during the inaugural edition of the "Eurasian Bridge" film festival, which is expected to become the launch pad for the "Eurasian Oscars." All major film festivals in Russia are funded by the government, and the new awards are expected to obtain state funding, as well. According to Mikhalkov, films from such countries as Korea, India and Pakistan will be prominent at the "Eurasian Oscars." "This is true cinema from countries where there are [political and social] problems," he said. According to Mikhalkov, cinema coming from countries "with problems" is stronger. Mikhalkov won an Oscar in the best foreign-language film category for Burnt by the Sun in 1995. Recently, he has been complaining about unfair treatment of Russian films at the Oscars. The statement about "not fighting Hollywood" comes at a time when the idea of introducing a theatrical release quota for homegrown films in a bid to restrict Hollywood films at the box office is still under discussion, and anti-Hollywood rhetoric is omnipresent. Meanwhile, later this month, Russia is launching what is advertised as the local equivalent of the Golden Globes. (Hollywood Reporter)

Terry Jones Receives BAFTA in First Public Appearance Since Dementia Diagnosis. Jones' son was in tears as he read a speech on behalf of the legendary Monty Python member. Just over a week since he revealed that he was suffering from a form of dementia, Terry Jones, a founding member of legendary British comedy troupe Monty Python, made his first public appearance at a Welsh BAFTA event. Jones' son Bill Jones was on hand to help his 74-year-old father to the stage to collect an award acknowledging his 50 years of contribution to film and TV, breaking down in tears as he read a speech on his behalf. "We would like to thank everyone. I know it's a great honor for dad to win this award," he said after the pair were given a standing ovation. "The struggles we've been going through ... We are so proud of him." Fellow Python Michael Palin had earlier introduced his comedy collaborator as someone who has been "relentlessly prolific while being a wonderful friend." "The first sketch we performed was as a pair of police officers at the Edinburgh festival and for the next few years we were inseparable," he said, adding that "life seemed more exciting when Terry was around." On Sep. 23, it was revealed that Jones had been diagnoses with primary progressive aphasia, which erodes the ability to use language. (Hollywood Reporter)

Grab the Tissues! Lauren Graham Teases Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Tears Ahead. Lauren Graham is super excited about Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and understandably so.

News about her return to Stars Hollow as Lorelai Gilmore at the premiere of her new movie Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life. "I'm afraid to be as kind of glowing about it as I feel, because I know that expectations are already high, but for me, personally, it was just an incredibly gratified experience. So, I hope people enjoy it." Graham will appear alongside her TV daughter Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore), TV mom Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) and dozens more Gilmore Girls favorites, including Melissa McCarthy, Scott Patterson, Liza Weil, Matt Czuchry, Jared Padalecki, Milo Ventimiglia, in the four-part event dropping on Netflix on Friday, Nov. 25.

Outlander Brings the Tears With This Emotional Preview of the Season 2 Soundtrack. Ready to cry? Outlander may be on hiatus right now while filming of season three is underway, but that doesn't mean we're in a complete Droughtlander, all thanks to the release of the season two soundtrack coming up at the end of this month. Because we know it's hard to wait, you can exclusively listen to one of the tracks right here, right now. You may recognize the gorgeous piece in the video -- and the chills that come with it -- from the episode "Faith," which found Claire (Caitriona Balfe) dealing with a miscarriage and the loss of her daughter, Faith. If there are tears in your eyes just thinking about that episode, you may not make it through the song without full-blown sobs. "'Faith', composed for Outlander's heartbreaking midseason finale, needed to capture the innocent tones of childhood, and ultimate emotional devastation," composer Bear McCreary says of the piece. "I wrote a simple melody for piano and concert flute, two instruments that had never been heard on the Outlander score before. I hope their sudden introduction gave the music a sense of timelessness, augmenting its impact on the audience. I wept openly as I scored the final scene in this episode. When I finished the last note, I went into my infant daughter's room, picked her up and held her close for an hour, grateful for her inspiration." The full soundtrack will be released on October 28, but you can preorder it on Amazon or iTunes. All preorders come with an advanced download of one of the tracks. "The Outlander fans have been incredibly supportive and I'm so excited they'll finally have a chance to hear the entire soundtrack and follow the musical journey of season two," McCreary says. "Like the series which traveled to France and then back to Scotland again, altering the lives of the characters deeply and changing the tone of the series, my score changed drastically for the second season as well. In the new album fans will hear an array of instruments and melodies, some vaguely familiar, an homage to the roots of the characters, but many new and foreign as we echo the new journey they must face in France." Outlander returns to Starz for season three in 2017. (Eonline)

Milo Ventimiglia Strips Down and Gets in Ellen DeGeneres' Splash Tank for Breast Cancer. Even when Ellen DeGeneres is home sick, she still manages to keep her celebrity guests on their toes. This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia had his turn in DeGeneres' chair recently when Miley Cyrus was filling in for the longtime talk show host. Despite DeGeneres' absence, the "Can't Stop" singer had no problem carrying out the comedian's plans for the Gilmore Girls alum. After chit-chatting about his hit NBC show and upcoming Gilmore Girls reunion, Cyrus got Ventimiglia out of his shirt and into Ellen's splash tank -- all in the name of a good cause. "For the third year in a row, we're partnering with Ulta Beauty to raise money and awareness for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation," Cyrus explained to the audience. "Totally worth it! Worth getting objectified," she joked. Without hesitation, Milo stripped out of his shirt and shoes and hopped into the lavish tank, complete with a white throne-esque chair. "I'm horrible at throwing, so you're lucky," she told the actor. Chalk it up to luck or a little white lie, but Cyrus hit the target on the second try, winning a $10,000 donation from the company.

Fear the Walking Dead Finale: Not Everyone Made It Out of Season 2 Alive. Oh my god, you guys, can you believe this season of Fear the Walking Dead just ended with everyone reuniting, finding a cure for zombieism, and crying together in a big group hug after taking showers? No? Oh darn. Obviously, that's not how season two ended at all, in any way, shape, or form. What did happen was a lot of horrible things, like Travis (Cliff Curtis) discovering that his son was dead? That would have been good news for all of us, since we all can't stand how horrible Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie) has become, but Travis took it hard. After he met Chris' new friends and learned that they had killed him after he totaled their truck and seriously injured himself, Travis went into a rage and murdered them with his fists. Madison (Kim Dickens) -- along with everyone, including us, who witnessed it -- was rightfully horrified, and her relationship with Travis may never be the same. Elsewhere, Nick (Frank Dillane) and Luciana (Danay Garcia) found out the bitter truth about Alejandro (Paul Calderon): he was not, in fact, immune to the walkers. He faked the whole thing, and used the lie to convince people to build Colonia around him, to save both his life and theirs. It kinda worked, to be fair, but still not such a great lie. After Marco's gang attacked Colonia, Alejandro sacrificed himself by using the bus to let the walkers in. Nick ended up taking over in leading everyone to what he thought was safety, but they never made it. Military guys with guns appeared and opened fire, throwing both Nick and Luciana to the ground. That was the last we saw of them, as their heads were slammed into the pavement. At the same time, Madison, Alicia, and Travis had made it to Colonia and found it deserted/filled with zombie cartel members, other than Alejandro dying on the bus. He told them that Nick was still alive, and basically that they had just missed him, and we're starting to doubt that this family will ever get back together. Now, we're left with a few questions: Who was shooting at Ofelia? Who are the military guys? Why did we need to witness that brain surgery and also that eye gouging? Why is Alicia still putting up with her mom? Did Chris really get murdered for driving badly? Is this TV's most depressing show? Fear the Walking Dead will return to AMC in 2017. (Eonline)

Westworld Premiere: HBO's Epic New Robot Drama Is Creepy, Trippy, and Oh So Good. Consider us officially invested. HBO just debuted its new drama, Westworld, about a theme park designed to allow guests to pretend they're living in the old west, and it already feels like something that could replace the giant hole that exists in our hearts during Game of Thrones' off season. It's not Game of Thrones at all, of course, but it is a great big show we could happily obsess over in the same kind of way. The ambitious sci-fi series is based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie, and tells the story of the programmers who created the park, the wealthy guests who visit the park, and the artificial Dollhouse-esque people created to inhabit the park and entertain the guests. Those guests pay exorbitant amounts of money to be able to do literally whatever they want with no consequences, whether they just want to take a nice vacation to the old west with their family, hire a prostitute or two, or rape and murder fake people. Of course, there's some sort of bug in the latest update of the artificial people, and the programmers/Hunger Games gamemakers are worried about them realizing their world is actually not nearly as big as they keep trying to convince them it is. The solution to that problem is to recall all the updated "hosts" by staging a massacre, delighting the guests without them realizing there was any sort of problem. Meanwhile, the guests get to participate in an interesting and terrifying experiment in human behavior that of course includes lots of violence, but specifically sexual violence against women. That aspect of the show is not very much fun to watch, but it will be interesting to see if the whole "no consequences" thing sticks, or if we're supposed to watch Evan Rachel Wood's Dolores get abused by that milk-toting guest in black on a regular basis with no justice in sight. In more pleasant news, can we talk about the selection on the saloon's piano? We never knew we needed western orchestral versions of Paint it Black and Black Hole Sun, but we're so very happy to have them. We're also happy to have a new sci-fi show that's not about time travel. As much as we really do love time travel, sometimes you just really need to take a break with some gorgeous scenery and some discomforting questions about whether robots are people or not. What did you think of the premiere? Westworld airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO. (Eonline)

Benedict Cumberbatch Hints at End of 'Sherlock'. "It feels like the end of an era, to be honest. It goes to a place where it will be pretty hard to follow on immediately." It's the news every fan of TV's most famed super-sleuth had been dreading. Almost. Benedict Cumberbatch might not have much more Sherlock left in him. Speaking to British GQ, the actor-whose portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle's Baker Street-dwelling detective helped catapult him into Hollywood's A-list-laid some fairly heavy clues about the future of the hit BBC show. "It might be the end of an era," he said of season four, which recently wrapped filming. "It feels like the end of an era, to be honest. It goes to a place where it will be pretty hard to follow on immediately." But before the world's Sherlock devotees begin crying into their deerstalkers, Cumberbatch suggested it might not be all over just yet. "We never say never on the show. I'd love to revisit it, I'd love to keep revisiting it, I stand by that, but in the immediate future we all have things that we want to crack on with and we've made something very complete as it is, so I think we'll just wait and see," he said. "The idea of never playing him again is really galling." The increasingly busy schedules of Cumberbatch-soon to be seen as Marvel's Doctor Strange– and co-star Martin Freeman has kept Sherlock an intermittent presence on TV screens. The Emmy-winning one-off special The Abominable Bride, which aired on both the BBC and PBS on Jan. 1, was the first new Sherlock in almost two years. Season four of Sherlock is not expected to be broadcast until 2017. But will it be the end? The BBC told The Hollywood Reporter it wouldn't comment. (Hollywood Reporter)

Reality TV Contestants Line Up to Be Assistant to Chechen Strongman Ramzan Kadyrov. Kadyrov, who got into an Instagram battle with 'Last Week Tonight's' John Oliver over his lost cat, will pick his new assistant via the 'Apprentice'-style show, which premieres Oct.5. Everybody, it seems, wants to be the one to skim the froth of a strongman's cappuccino. A producer of a new reality TV show looking to find a new assistant for Chechen strongman -- and Instagram sensation -- Ramzan Kadyrov, has been "flooded with applications" by would-be contestants. The show, which premieres Wednesday on Russian state-run channel Rossiya 1, will see contenders compete in various tasks -- including participating in a traditional Chechen wedding -- with the winner named Kadyrov's new assistant. "The idea for the show came spontaneously," Natalia Nikonova, the show's producer, tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Several years ago, me and [TV presenter] Boris Korchevnikov filmed a program about Ramzan Kadyrov in Chechnya, and we were impressed with how well his team worked." The show, called Komanda, or Team in English (a reference to the term Kadyrov uses for his entourage), will be the first-ever reality show on Russian television to feature a regional leader or a top governmental official. "It consists of like-minded people, focused on the same idea, who are totally dedicated to their work," she added "They understand each other perfectly well, are motivated and ready to implement any task." According to Nikonova, they wanted to show to the entire country how a system of picking the most talented people for government work is used in Chechnya. "Men and women educated in any field, who could think in a large scope, possess organizational skills, can make planning and conduct negotiations, are creative and bold in their individual decisions are welcome to apply," says an announcement on the show's web site. Corporate spin aside, Kadyrov is infamous for his allegedly brutal and authoritarian rule. He reportedly told his security forces to deal with drug abusers by "shooting them dead" and human rights organizations have accused him of being involved in state-organized torture and disappearances. But, surprisingly, the strongman is also a star on Instagram, where he regularly posts photos and comments on his life as the head of the Chechen republic, a position he's held since 2007. He also has a film credit to his name, having starred in a short film called Volshebny greben (Mysterious Ridge) about Chechnya's history. Kadyrov also told his 1.8 million Instagram followers that he will star in a full-length action movie titled Kto ne ponyal, tot poymet (Those Who Didn't Understand, Will Understand), named after Kadyrov's favorite saying. Kadyrov published a short clip from the movie, featuring him running across a desert landscape with a machine gun, followed by several sports utility vehicles. Further details of the movie were not announced and remain unknown to these days. Kadyrov is also known for his fondness of foreign actors who have shown loyalty to the Kremlin. Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme have been his frequent guests in Chechnya, and Gerard Depardieu was given a luxurious apartment in a skyscraper in the republic's capital Grozny. John Oliver recently mocked Kadryov on his HBO show, Last Week Tonight, after the Chechen leader called for his 1.8 million Instagram followers to help him find his lost cat. (Hollywood Reporter)

'The Young Pope' Teaser: Jude Law Is a Conniving Religious Contradiction. "They chose a pope they didn't know, and today, they'll begin to realize who I am." A new teaser has been released for The Young Pope, and it previews the conniving contradiction of its titular character. "Like Mary, virginal mother; like man, good and evil; I'm God," he explains when asked who he is. The teaser further notes that he "does not negotiate on anything or with anyone," and that, as the first American pope, he intends to ignite a revolution. "They chose a pope they didn't know, and today, they'll begin to realize who I am," he concludes with an air of mischief. Law stars as a newly powerful pope who is described as conservative, melancholy and ruthless, and an expert at playing Vatican politics. Diane Keaton, Silvio Orlando, Scott Shepherd, Cecile de France, Javier Camara, Ludivie Sagnier, Tony Bertorelli and James Cromwell also star in the Paolo Sorrentino series. The Young Pope premieres on Oct. 21 on Sky Atlantic in Italy and Germany, on Oct. 27 in the United Kingdom, and in 2017 on HBO. (Hollywood Reporter)
