Pink Expecting Second Child With Carey Hart. A big congratulations are in store for Pink and her husband Carey Hart! The singer announced Saturday she is pregnant with her second child, via an Instagram photo that shows her sporting a big baby bump and standing next to the couple's five-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart, who they welcomed into the world in 2011. "Surprise!" Pink wrote. The news isn't a huge surprise considering the singer sat down on Good Morning America in May and couldn't help but gush over being a mom, hinting that she definitely wanted more kids. "I love being a mama," she smiled. "I made a choice a long time ago that I was going to have a successful family and that is my absolute number one goal in life." She continued, laughing, "I feel like I have two kids right now. I would like a third. No, I want to say that Carey Hart's an awesome husband and a really good dad, but he's also like a second child." In fact, she joked just a few weeks before her visit to GMA about Hart's daddy skills. "He always falls to sleep putting Willow to bed," Pink told Ellen DeGeneres in early May. "The other night I said, 'Are you going to stay up tonight?' And he said, 'I would like to.' I said, 'I don't really know what that means. Should I light candles and open wine and put on a show? Like, are we going big here? Or are you going to fall asleep again?'" She continued, "So, I lit the candles and opened the wine, and an hour and a half later, [Carey was fast asleep in their daughter's bedroom]." LOL! Pink and Hart married in 2006, and though they've experienced a few "breaks" here and there, they still remain together. Congratulations to the couple! (Eonline)

Patrick Dempsey and Jillian Dempsey Officially Call Off Their Divorce. Patrick Dempsey and his wife of 17 years, Jillian Dempsey, have officially called off their divorce. E! News has learned that Jillian filed to have the couple's divorce papers dismissed from court on November 4, and the judge granted it less than a week later, on November 10. She originally filed for divorce after in January 2015, which Patrick has previously admitted turned his world upside down. In fact, he left ABC's Grey's Anatomy a few months later to focus on keeping his family together. "Our marriage was not something I was prepared to let go of," he told People at the time. "I didn't feel like we had done all the work. And we both wanted to do that work. That's where it started." Thus, they decided to seek counseling and fight for their relationship. "I wasn't prepared to give up on her and she wasn't either. We were both committed. We both wanted to fight." The couple are parents to three children: daughter Tallula Dempsey, 14, and twin sons Darby Dempsey and Sullivan Dempsey, 9. They're one of the biggest reasons the couple worked so hard to stay together. "It's always destabilizing when you're potentially breaking up a family," he said. "We want to be role models for our children -- if you have differences, you can work them out." Patrick said his relationship with Jill is "much healthier" now. He also has advice for anyone going through something similar. "You've got to keep at it," he told People. "You've got to communicate, and stay open and not get lazy. And not give up. And lots of sex!" (Eonline)

"If it was up to Anderson he would marry Miranda today!" our insider reveals, adding that the couple's friends and family think it's "just a matter of time" before he pops the question. Miranda, who was previously married to country music star Blake Shelton, recently celebrated her 33rd birthday, and as a source tells us, Anderson pulled out all the stops for his leading lady. In fact, the 28-year-old threw a "special celebration" on behalf of the "Vice" songstress and gave her a few "very thoughtful" gifts.

Hey, if Anderson treats every day like it's her birthday, we totally agree. (Eonline)

Meghan Markle Surfaces in London to See Prince Harry, Is Reportedly Staying at Kensington Palace. Meghan Markle has surfaced in Prince Harry's hometown: London. The Suits star, who is dating the redheaded royal, was spotted shopping at Whole Foods nearby Kensington Palace's Nottingham Cottage. Meghan is reportedly staying at the royal digs with her boyfriend while she's in London. Kate Middleton and Prince William used to occupy the cottage, but have since moved out. Meghan left the supermarket with two big bags of groceries, which could mean she had plans to stock up for her visit or she was preparing a feast for her boyfriend. Either way, she's prepared! Prince Harry was spotted for the first time Thursday since confirming his relationship with Meghan. He arrived at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, an annual memorial garden where people can place wooden tokens decorated with poppies to honor members of the armed forces who were killed in action. Prince Philip joined his grandson for the event looking as regal as ever. Even though the 32-year-old royal kept his focus on the importance of the event, no one could help but keep their minds on his budding romance, which seems to be more serious than anyone thought given his public defense of Meghan and her presence at Kensington Palace. "It wouldn't surprise me if he's already thinking about engagement just because that's where his head goes but that's not where the relationship is at right now," a source told E! News. "This is totally Harry. The problem with Harry is when he falls, he falls hard. He goes in big time." "Meghan would say it's serious too, both of them do think that way," the source added. (Eonline)

Prince Harry Planning Trip to Meet Meghan Markle's Family, Source Says. Meghan Markle has met Prince Harry's dad and now it's time for him to return the favor. While new photos emerge of the Suits star toting grocery bags to her British beau's Kensington Palace home, Nottingham Cottage, a source tells E! News that the 32-year-old royal is gearing up to make his own transatlantic trip. As the insider said, there is talk of Harry planning a trip to go and meet Markle's family. "It is seriously serious," the source added. E! previously learned that the relationship has already earned the backing of Harry's friends and family members in the few months they've been privately dating, including Harry's father, Prince Charles, who met Markle. "Everybody is thrilled for Harry and totally supports him," another source told E! News. While the Hollywood star currently shoots for the USA series in Canada, she was born and raised in California. Her mother, Doria Markle, worked as a travel agent while her father, Thomas Marke, is an Emmy Award-winning cinematographer for series like Married With Children. Speaking of marriage, while the actress and royal have not walked down the aisle, according to a source, that may be where they're heading. "It wouldn't surprise me if he's already thinking about engagement just because that's where his head goes but that's not where the relationship is at right now," the source shared. "This is totally Harry. The problem with Harry is when he falls, he falls hard. He goes in big time." From the news of Markle's recent trip to Kensington Palace, it seems she's feeling similarly. "Meghan would say it's serious, too," the source added. "Both of them do think that way." (Eonline)

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd Break Up. It looks like Bella Hadid and The Weeknd have called it quits... yet again. E! News has learned that the Grammy winner and the model have split up for the second time, the first being last December. And while details about what led to the famous duo parting ways have yet to be revealed, what we do know is that the two will be seeing each other very soon. The "Starboy" crooner is expected to perform at this year's highly anticipated Victoria's Secret Fashion Show later this month in Paris, where Bella is also expected to debut her wings on the runway. People was the first to report the split. In a recent interview in the September issue of Glamour magazine, the brunette beauty opened up about what made her relationship with the singer work. "I'm dating Abel. I don't see him as The Weeknd. I'm proud of The Weeknd and the music he makes, but I really love Abel." The two were first romantically linked in May of 2015 and made their red carpet debut as a couple during the 2016 Grammy Awards, where The Weeknd went home a winner. "It was a big night for him," she gushed to the fashion publication. "He has worked so hard, and he did so well that night. As a girlfriend I wanted to be there to support him. Seeing him so happy when he won a Grammy made me so happy." Bella appeared to be taking the breakup in stride, however, as she was spotted out grabbing a bite to eat in Los Angeles with a few of her close gal pals including Hailey Baldwin. (Eonline)

The American Honey star appeared on SiriusXM's Sway in the Morning and revealed a hidden talent: he can rap. The actor's newfound career choice may just be a pastime, but the eccentric lyrics prove he has been reflecting on his life quite a bit.

Val Kilmer Struggles to Speak With Swollen Tongue During Public Appearance. Val Kilmer couldn't quite get his words out during a public appearance Thursday, just a week after he was rumored to be suffering from cancer. Last Tuesday, the actor denied comments made by his colleague Michael Douglas, who claimed Kilmer was "dealing with exactly what I had, and things don't look too good for him." Douglas famously battled throat cancer, but revealed in an interview with Matt Lauer this year that the tumor on the base of his tongue was gone. "I love Michael Douglas but he is misinformed," the 56-year-old responded on Facebook. "The last time I spoke to him was almost two years ago, when I asked him for a referral for a specialist to get a diagnosis for a lump in my throat, which prevented me from continuing a tour of my play CITIZEN TWAIN. I ended up using a team at UCLA and have no cancer whatsoever. I still have a swollen tongue and am rehabbing steadily." Fans witnessed the results of that swollen tongue in person on Thursday when Kilmer presented the film version of his one-man play Citizen Twain to an audience in Los Angeles. "I went into rehearsals down in Florida and started having trouble with my speech. Obviously, I'm still recovering. My tongue swelled up and I canceled the tour. As I'm recovering I'm showing this," he reportedly told the crowd, according to People. "Thanks to all those of you who came out to say hello and watch my film on Mark Twain last night. That standing ovation is going to fuel me for quite a while. It was humbling and I'm grateful. Especially because it's such an emotional and sobering time for so many people," he began in a lengthy message on his Facebook page posted the next day. "Fight. Care. Trust Love. And fight some more. Friends, you don't know you have will show up and help you," he concluded. "I can testify." (Eonline)

Eddie Redmayne had to explain his wand to customs officers. Eddie Redmayne, who plays wizard Newt Scamander in J.K. Rowling's new film "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," had to explain to customs why he had a wand in his briefcase. "I brought it because I felt like it would be reassuring to have Newt's wand," the 34-year-old actor said during a BUILD Series talk on Friday." But then we were coming through customs and I suddenly realize that a wand looks like a really sharp, scary object and then to try and explain it to a customs person, I was like, 'Have you seen the ... No?' That was a bit disastrous." Redmayne also struggled with whether or not to use his personal briefcase after filming, since his character carries one around at all times. He said of his dilemma, "This is a case I use in life and now when I'm traveling I'm like, 'Do I take the case with me?' 'Cause now people are going to think, 'Oh you were cast as Newt Scamander who has a case and now you walk around with a case.'" "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" comes out on Nov. 18.

"8 Mile" director Curtis Hanson had a solid will in place before his September death that not only took care of his longtime companion and son, but also his extended fam and his movie biz. Curtis and partner Rebecca Yeldham never tied the knot but have a 12-year-old son together, and the Oscar winner left most of his estate to them, including a home in Laguna Beach. He set up a trust for Rebecca, the kid and several other family members. It's not clear how much is in it, but the docs say he had nearly $5 million outside the trust. Rebecca's asking to be named executor of the will, except for anything related to his production companies. Curtis specified his producing partner Carol Fenelon should handle those decisions. Hanson -- who also directed "L.A. Confidential" and "The River Wild" -- died September 20, 2016 of an apparent heart attack. (TMZ)

Angelina Jolie's Fight For Full Custody Just Got More Complicated... Angelina Jolie's fight for full custody of her kids just got more complicated. As you surely know, the Maleficent star shocked fans when she filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt AND requested primary physical custody of their kiddos. Miz Jolie seemed to be getting her way as she was granted temporary custody of her brood amid the Department of Child and Family Services' investigation of Pitt and the alleged plane incident. However, since the Allied actor has been cleared by the DCFS and has filed his response to the 41-year-old's divorce petition, it appears a custody battle is certainly a-brewin'! To make matters worse, The Sun recently reported that there are "recordings" of Angie which could greatly embarrass the A-lister. And insider dished to the publication: "We believe audio tapes exist of Angelina that would be absolutely dynamite against her if they were to be made public. Nobody wants to play dirty like that but Angelina and her team seem absolutely hell-bent on trying to discredit Brad in order to stop him getting full custody." Oof. The source went onto to comment on the rumored faceoff between Pitt and his son Maddox as they added: "Yes, there was an argument on a plane between him and Maddox, but that's it. It's not abuse." Fair, fair. Nonetheless, this report must be making the Fight Club performer very happy as it's been said the humanitarian is still trying to prove her former flame did abuse at least one of their children. Ugh. We honestly hate seeing all this mudslinging in the press and hope the twosome are able to somehow amicably move forward in their divorce. To the Brangelina Brood we just want to say, stay strong kids! (Perez Hilton)

Taylor Swift's Alleged Stalker Arrested for Following Her in Texas. Taylor Swift can rest a bit more easily -- at least for today -- as another one of her alleged stalkers has been arrested. E! News can confirm Frank Andrew Hoover, 39, was put behind bars on Thursday after Austin police officials arrested him following an incident that occurred on October 22. We obtained the police documents, which say Hoover stalked Swift after her concert at the Formula 1 race, allegedly following her motorcade back to the airport where a private jet picked her and her parents up. The documents say he got within 50 feet of Taylor's car before bodyguards noticed him and asked what he was doing. He reportedly told them that he was trying to get a photo and "possibly accompany Taylor wherever she goes." The incident violated a previous protection order Swift had filed in Kansas that required Hoover to stay at least 500 feet from the singer. Thus, police found and arrested him on Thursday. He is currently being held on $100,000 bail. Hoover had been hounding Swift and her family for months. According to the documents, he sent continuous emails to her father, Scott Swift, from August 28 until October 27. One of the messages said God told him to find Swift and her father. Hoover wrote, "Without her, I walk the earth alone forever and she'll continue to experience failed relationships that break her heart." After the incident, Hoover began writing threatening emails to Scott with messages that read, "God is going to kill all the Swifts and then the issue will go away." He also included a photo of the singer with a caption that read, "A whore named Satan dies," in red. TMZ was the first to report the story. (Eonline)

Leonard Cohen has passed away at the age of 82. Sony Music Canada -- the Canadian singer and songwriter's music label -- confirmed the news via his Facebook page. "It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," the post read. "We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries."

The Recording Academy also released a statement, saying, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Grammy Award winner and 2010 Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Leonard Cohen.

We have lost a cherished artist and our sincerest condolences go out to Leonard's family, friends, and collaborators. He will be missed terribly."

His work catered to many of the most important themes of that era, including: love, hate, sex, drugs, war, peace, spirituality and depression. One of his most famous songs, "Hallelujah," has worked its powerful message throughout the generations, having been covered by many artists of all different genres over time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Rolling Stone was the first to report the story. (Eonline)

Robert Vaughn, star of 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,' dies at 83. Robert Vaughn, the debonair, Oscar-nominated actor who portrayed superspy Napoleon Solo in the hit 1960s TV series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," died Friday at age 83 after a brief battle with leukemia. "Mr. Vaughn passed away with his family around him," his manager, Matthew Sullivan, told entertainment site Deadline. "The actor is survived by wife Linda, son Cassidy and daughter Caitlin." He became a household name for his Bond-esque role on NBC's "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," where his suave Solo was paired with David McCallum's blond Russian Illya Kuryakin to battle the Cold War evildoers of T.H.R.U.S.H. "Girls age 9 to 12 liked David McCallum because he was so sweet," Vaughn said in a 2005 interview. "But the old ladies and the 13- to 16-year-olds liked me because I was so detached." The pop-culture phenomenon, which ran from 1964 to 1968, was part of a series of secret agent shows such as "I Spy," "Mission: Impossible," "Secret Agent" and the spoof "Get Smart." Vaughn's big-screen career started 60 years ago as an extra in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments." He was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in 1959's soapy "The Young Philadelphians," with Paul Newman, in which he played a wounded war veteran accused of murder. The following year, he co-starred in John Sturges' 1960 Western "The Magnificent Seven," playing a traumatized gunslinger. "We thought, 'This picture's gonna be the bomb of all time,'" he told The Hollywood Reporter in September about "The Magnificent Seven." "Well, not only was it a great success at the box office and continues to be, but after 'Casablanca,' it's the most-often-shown motion picture on American television. It's a good yarn, well told, with a lot of sexy young guys," he said. Vaughn shared an unsavory memory from the location shoot in Mexico. "We pretty much were on the pot [due to food poisoning] when we weren't drinking margaritas and smoking pot," he said. In 1968's "Bullitt," he appeared as ambitious politician Walter Chalmers, who's out for the head of Steve McQueen's San Francisco police Lt. Frank Bullitt. During the heyday of disaster flicks, he joined an all-star cast and played another politician, Senator Parker, in 1974's "The Towering Inferno." He received an Emmy for his part in 1977's miniseries "Washington: Behind Closed Doors" on ABC. He also was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Woodrow Wilson in "Backstairs at the White House" on NBC in 1979. In 1981, he took a comedic turn in "S.O.B.," playing the head of Capitol Studios. And two years later, he was a villainous multimillionaire in the campy "Superman III" with Christopher Reeve and Richard Pryor. Vaughn, who was born in New York City, went to high school in Minneapolis and attended the University of Minnesota, but quit after a year and moved to Los Angeles, where he studied drama and completed his master's degree. He also earned a Ph.D. in communications at USC. A liberal Democrat, Vaughn became passionately opposed to the Vietnam War and delivered anti-war speeches around the country. His last movie, "Hoodlum & Son," was released in 2003, and he appeared in his final TV show, "Coronation Street," in 2012. He had remained busy, though, and recorded a podcast for The Hollywood Reporter in September. "Like most actors, I just go home and wait for the phone to ring," he told the site. "And it's been ringing for a long time." (PageSix)

Mark-Paul Gosselaar and the Pitch Cast Get Naked. Who knew baseball could be so scandalous? Mark-Paul Gosselaar and the rest of the Pitch cast posed naked for teaser photos ahead of Thursday night's episode, and if you weren't watching the show already you might want to start tuning in. The Saved by the Bell alum posed nude save for a little coverage courtesy of protective kneepads. The rest of the cast joined in for a naked group photo in which the (fictional) members of the San Diego Padres pose only with their mitts and bats. The risque promo photos come on the heels of an earlier episode in the season in which the main character, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury), had to deal with the repercussions of a nude photo scandal. As an act of solidarity, her teammates posed naked. Pitch tells the story of the MLB's first female player and the criticism she faced. As time goes by, however, her male teammates begin to become protective of her and the show starts to focus on the relationships between the teammates instead of the sport. Gosselaar told E! News he could relate to his mentor-like character in more ways than one. "I think I've walked onto set every time like that, I'm going to be honest with you. I understand the anxiety that comes with it," he said. "The need to succeed, to make everyone believe that you belong there. Those are things that I still struggle with to this day when I walk onto a set... " Pitch airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Fox. (Eonline)

Michelle Obama Talks Fashion Legacy and Life After the White House for Final Vogue Issue as First Lady. With her third and final Vogue cover as First Lady, Michelle Obama is offering some parting words on wardrobe and the White House. Since moving her clothes into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the 52-year-old lawyer and mother of two has redefined first lady fashion in her eight years as the Commander-in-Chief's right-hand woman. Between giving sartorial unknowns a try to making a splash in bold styles, Obama has left behind a legacy of distinct modern couture -- but not without comfort first. "It all boils down to comfort level: If I'm going to make you comfortable, then I have to be comfortable first," she said in the December issue of Vogue. "So my first reaction isn't 'Who made this?' But 'Let's try it on. What does it look like?...There are definitely designers that I love, people I love to work with. And who they are as people matters. Are they good people? Do they treat their staff well? Do they treat my staff well? Are they young? Can I give them a boost? But! When all of that is equal . . . is it cute?!" The candid response is a subtle reminder that the Chicago native with little political experience before her husband's 2008 election sought out to be a first lady all her own. "Everything we do is by choice," she said of the role. "I could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine. I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There's no legislative authority; you're not elected. And that's a wonderful gift of freedom." With a newly elected replacement and less than three months until Donald Trump's inauguration, FLOTUS catches herself looking at daily life with sentimental eyes. "You know, there are little . . . moments. Even today I was looking out at this view here...looking out on the South Lawn and the Washington Monument and it had just rained and the grass was really green and everything popped a little bit more. It's soooo beautiful. And for that moment I thought, I'm going to miss waking up to this, having access to this anytime I want," she told the magazine. "But on the flip side . . . it's time. I think our democracy has it exactly right: two terms, eight years. It's enough," she told the magazine. "The nature of living in the White House is isolating. And I think Barack [Obama] and I -- because we're kind of stubborn -- we've maintained some normalcy, mostly because of the age of our kids. I go out to dinner with my girlfriends; I go to Sasha's games; Barack has coached a little basketball with Sasha's team. But at the same time, when you can't walk into CVS?" While she may enjoy more leisurely trips to CVS after Jan. 20, Obama doesn't intend on taking off her civil service hat anytime soon. "I've never been the former First Lady of the United States of America before," Obama said. "But I will always be engaged in some way in public service and public life. The minute I left my corporate law firm to work for the city, I never looked back. I've always felt very alive using my gifts and talents to help other people. I sleep better at night. I'm happier."

Prince Harry Takes the 2018 Invictus Games Down Under to Sydney. The Invictus Games are going down under! On Saturday, Prince Harry announced in an inspiring video message that the 2018 Invictus Games would be held in Sydney, Australia. The fourth outing for the annual event will run for 11 days, beginning Oct. 18, 2018 and ending Oct. 29, 2018. In 2014, Harry launched the Invictus Games-a multi-sport event created specifically for wounded, injured, or sick armed services personnel. The title comes from the Latin word Invictus, meaning unconquered or undefeated. Over 500 competitors from 17 nations will compete at the 2018 Games in 11 different adaptive sports, including wheelchair basketball, swimming and indoor rowing. Events will take place across the Greater Sydney area -- from the Sydney Olympic Park to on and around the iconic Sydney Harbour. Harry, 32, previously said he was inspired to create the Invictus Games after watching the Warrior Games in the United States during an official visit in 2013. He launched the first Invictus Games at London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after just 10 months of planning. The second annual Games took place in Orlando, Florida, in May -- while the third annual Games are scheduled for September 2017, in Toronto, Canada. In his video message Saturday, Harry -- the Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation -- said the host city had to be a place "known the world over," had to have "a proud military heritage which would welcome competitors form all the world with open arms," and had to be a place with residents who are "absolutely sports made and would really get behind our competitors." "It was an easy decision really," he said -- standing next to Invictus Games Sydney 2018 Ambassador and Wallabies captain Stephen Moore, as well as members of the Australian Defense Force members from all three services at the Tourism Australia offices in Australia House, London. Australian singer Kylie Minogue, 48, also appeared in the announcement -- telling Harry, "we're stoked the Invictus Games are coming to Sydney." "You don't need to tell the Aussies to bring it," she added. "It's guaranteed -- no worries!" (People)

Prince Harry Meets Up with Monaco's Princess Charlene at Rugby Match. Prince Harry was in attendance for a rugby match between England and South Africa, on Saturday, ahead of U.K. Remembrance Day events. Harry, 32, who is the vice patron of the Rugby Football Union, cheered on the players in the Autumn International game at Twickenham stadium. However, he wasn't the only royal in the stands. Monaco's Princess Charlene, who was born in South Africa, joined the prince at the game. Before the game, Harry visited and laid a wreath at the newly-installed Rose and Poppy Gates, which were sponsored by the Rugby Football Union. The Gates commemorate the U.K. military members who lost their lives in World War I. He also met with contributors to the Union's Rose and Poppy film series, which covers how the war impacted rugby communities. The outing comes shortly after the prince's girlfriend Meghan Markle was spotted in London on Thursday, carrying grocery bags towards her boyfriend's Kensington Palace home, Nottingham Cottage. Markle, 35, appeared to be taking a break from filming the sixth season of her USA show Suits, which is currently in production in Toronto. The American actress and Harry have been dating seriously for about two months, PEOPLE recently confirmed. Harry, himself, confirmed the romance in a statement released earlier this week, as he expressed concern for Markle amid a "wave of abuse and harassment." The statement, which was released by his communications secretary, slammed the "outright sexism and racism" that Markle has faced since news of their relationship broke. "Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her," the statement said. "It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm." Although their romance is no longer secret, Markle and Prince Harry have yet to appear together in public. (People)

Teresa Giudice is excited to see Melania's First Lady Fashion. Teresa Giudice arrived at a fashion show to see her kids walk the runway while her husband Joe is serving a 41-month prison sentence on tax-fraud charges. "Real Housewife" Teresa, who served just under a year in the case, told us at the BKLYN Rocks show: "I am excited to be back on TV .?.?. I took a break and just came home.

Kim Kardashian's former bodyguard has a steady paycheck again ... and this time it's coming from another smokin' hot celeb. Pascal Duvier -- who's infamously known for not being around when Kim was robbed in Paris -- was spotted Friday working the set of Fergie's new music video. TMZ broke the story -- Duvier, who's had Kim's back since 2012 -- was out watching Kendall and Kourtney when the robbery went down. Our Kardashian sources said his job was safe right after the incident, but clearly, someone's had a change of heart since then. The positive for Pascal? ... This job likely carries a little less stress than protecting KK. (TMZ)

Donald Trump's inauguration may have certain segments of society worried, but those most immediately affected will be D.C. nightclub owners. It doesn't take a rocket scientist ... hoards of celebs were planning to descend on D.C. to party hard, celebrating what they thought would be the first woman prez. Our survey of the Capital and Hollywood presents a pretty clear picture ... celebs are staying home. One of the top clubs -- The Park -- attracted Jamie Foxx, Beyonce, Jay Z and Diddy for Obama post-inauguration parties. But the club's owner, Marc Barnes, tells us celebs will likely shy away this year. Ditto for Echostage -- a nightclub/concert venue -- which had Hillary events penciled in, but now it has nothing. But here's the reality you'll hear from real Washington insiders ... Republicans actually party harder than Dems ... so even if celebs stay away, it could be a good time. (TMZ)

Jay Z better be ready for some purple pain -- Prince's estate wants nothing to do with his offer to snatch up any of the late singer's music catalog. Sources involved in the deal tell TMZ the estate fired off a letter to Jay's team last month, saying it had no interest in signing a deal for "Roc Nation to exploit any of the intellectual property assets of the Estate." We broke the story, Jay Z had offered around $40 million to take control of Prince's unreleased tracks. More bad news -- the estate is calling out Tidal for making 15 Prince albums available for streaming a couple months after his death. Those releases were unauthorized according to the estate. Translation: You're gonna owe us some dough. The estate does acknowledge Prince made a deal with Jay for the 2015 release of his final album, "HitNRun Phase One" -- but also says it hasn't found proof of a $750k payment to close that deal. Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching. (TMZ)

Riff Raff will perform for any president -- including Donald Trump -- if the price is right. The Texas rapper is not afraid to be an outlier -- most rappers aren't in Trump's corner -- but RR is more than happy to play a show for the new prez ... but it'll cost a big stack. Riff Raff could not be happier in the tax dept., because he thinks Trump's cuts will score him a new whip. (TMZ)

Focused on healing. Michael Buble "will not sing again until his child is well," the crooner's friend David Foster said in an interview on Thursday, November 10. The music producer told Entertainment Tonight Canada that Buble, whose 3-year-old son, Noah, was diagnosed with liver cancer, "is in a huge bubble" right now as he and wife Luisana Lopilato focus on their son's treatment and recovery. Fans of the singer and the Argentinian actress and model have expressed their support for the family on social media since Buble shared the news, with the hashtag #PrayForNoah trending on Twitter last week. "When this happens, everything shuts down around you," said Foster, who has known the singer since 2000 and signed him to his record label. "You go inside your little bubble, and I don't think he's looking at social media. I'm sure he feels the love from the millions of people." Foster, 67, told ET Canada that Revlon's Ron Perelman and actress Marlo Thomas, whose late father, Danny Thomas, founded St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, have reached out to him with offers of help for Noah. "He's in good shape," Foster said of the little boy. "He's got good doctors around him. We will hope and pray for a good outcome, which I believe that they will have." As Us Weekly previously reported, the "Home" singer took to Facebook on November 4 to share the terrible news. "We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah, who is currently undergoing treatment in the U.S.," he and Lopilato, 29, wrote in a statement. "We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children." The couple, who are also parents of son Elias, 9 months, added that they were planning to "devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well." Lopilato's sister Daniela spoke to Argentinian magazine Gente earlier this week about Noah's diagnosis, describing her nephew as "a warrior." The magazine reports that Noah will undergo chemotherapy for four months, and treatment would give him a 90 percent chance of beating the cancer. (US Weekly)

Mark Zuckerberg Rejects 'Crazy Idea' That Fake News on Facebook Swayed Voters. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the idea that Facebook influenced the outcome of the U.S. election is a "crazy idea." During an interview Thursday with "The Facebook Effect" author David Kirkpatrick, Zuckerberg responded to criticisms that Facebook helped spread misinformation by allowing for the sharing and re-sharing of fake news stories. "I think the idea that fake news on Facebook -- of which it's a very small amount of the content -- influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea," he said, adding, "there have been hoaxes on the internet before... We do our best to make it so that people can report that, and as I said before, we can show people the most meaningful content we can." Zuckerberg says the idea that people voted the way they did because they saw a fake news story shows a lack of understanding for people who voted for Donald Trump. "Part of what I think is going on here is people are trying to understand the results of the election," Zuckerberg said. "I think there is a certain profound lack of empathy in asserting that the only reason why someone could have voted the way they did is because they saw some fake news." (Billboard)

Eric Idle and John Cleese Declare 'Selfies Are A Waste Of Bloody Time' In 'F--k Selfies' Song. John Cleese and Eric Idle aren't too fond of fans asking to take selfies. The Monty Python comedians stopped by Conan on Thurs. night (Nov. 10) and debuted their hilariously new song "F**k Selfies," with just a mini guitar, and sang about their dislike for the trend. As Eric Idle led with the vocals and strummed away on his guitar, Cleese demonstrated the art of taking selfies, snapping photos of himself and Conan from every angle possible. "When you're grinning like a lunatic for people you don't know, it takes them half an hour to get the bloody cameras go," Idle belts. "Selfies are a waste of bloody time." (Billboard)

Music Lawyer Dina LaPolt Talks Fifth Harmony Strategy, Aerosmith's Competition at Billboard Touring Conference. "The only difference between me and a hooker is my rates and my services." Donned in rock 'n' roll-appropriate black attire and an "I Love New York" T-shirt, Dina LaPolt doesn't fit the image of the stereotypical stuffy lawyer -- and she would have it no other way. The woman who has handled legal matters for Steven Tyler, Fifth Harmony, the estate of Tupac Shakur and Deadmau5, among others, sat for a candid Q&A session with The Hollywood Reporter staff editor Ashley Cullins at the Billboard Touring Awards and Conference at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills on Nov. 10. Among the revelations of the 30-minute talk: how being "bold and taking risks" is a daily requirement of her job and how routinely she goes to bat for her clients, handling every crisis imaginable. "I have flown therapists out to talk to artists, I have had to talk to kids and wives and baby mommas -- I have done it all," LaPolt said. "It's all about helping people. The only difference between me and a hooker is my rates and my services." LaPolt's no-nonsense manner made for an endlessly entertaining discussion, even when addressing serious issues like artist safety. Recalling the shooting of The Voice alum Christina Grimmie at a Florida meet-and-greet earlier this year, LaPolt described similar issues with overzealous fans. "I had a client who had this guy that was creeping her out on Twitter. The manager called me freaking out, saying that this fan is threatening to come to a show. I said we should get a restraining order against this guy, but then learned that there needs to be minimal contact -- a degree of physicality in -- or it will impede on the guy's first amendment rights." Never one to take "no" for an answer LaPolt worked her magic and got a temporary restraining order. "For every time someone told me I couldn't do something ... my ass wouldn't be sitting here right now," she said, later adding, "I have been told that a lot in my career: You can't open up a law firm; you can't go up against Death Row Records, they kill people; you can't sue the Department of Justice." Speaking on matters related to touring, LaPolt said that music lovers don't just listen to one genre anymore, and selling tickets for an act like Aerosmith is competing for dollars that could just as easily go to Katy Perry. Crediting terrestrial radio -- "it reaches 116 million people a week, more than having a No. 1 song on Pandora, YouTube, Spotify and Sirius XM [combined]" -- and downplaying the impact of festivals, LaPolt said having the experience of being a headlining act is key, even in the world of pop. "Having a hit at pop, even though it's a big market trigger, it doesn't make money," she said. "Touring makes money." Fifth Harmony, she said, is a perfect example of building a fanbase the old-fashioned way by starting with a mall tour and growing to playing venues of 5,000. "That's a good and healthy trend," she said. "Pop music is starting to develop itself in touring." That leads to important negotiations like radius clauses which prevents an act from playing within a certain proximity after being booked to play a festival, or VIP ticketing, she said, which also drives revenue. "For $900 you get a seat in the first three rows, you get a platinum pass to get you nowhere except to meet the drum tech on the side, some free hot dogs and a Coke and a pin that tells everybody else in the audience that you are a dumbass," she said. "Just kidding, but the point is, touring is hit or miss, and we are all competing for the same fan." (Billboard)

Little Mix Reveal They've Had To Grow A 'Thick Skin' Amid Their Growing Fame & Highly Publicized Splits! It's not easy being a celebrity in the spotlight. Little Mix has certainly learned this the hard way as they recently opened up about how difficult it is to be constantly scrutinized over their appearances. We can only imagine! During a candid chat with Jonathan Ross, Jesly Nelson shared: "The way that we feel about ourselves. Especially in the beginning, we did get a lot of stick [about the way we looked]... I think there's a lot of pressure, especially for young girls, to look a certain way and when we went on The X Factor we didn't look that great and we got a lot of stick for it and it was hard. Obviously, we'd just been thrown into this whole experience so we'd never experienced anything like this and it was just a bit of a shock to the system." Poor things! Regardless, with their growing fame, the British beauties have certainly learned how to cope with the criticism which comes along with being famous. Miz Nelson continued: "We still get it now but I think we've grown a thick skin now to it all. It's hard especially when you're so young and you're not used to people just being able to comment on what you look like and being able to see it in front of your face." Thankfully, the foursome have leaned on each other to help them get through any and all dramas. Which is a good thing since the 25-year-old recently sparked rumors she had split from fiance Jake Roche after being photographed without her engagement ring on. On whether or not the ladies have plans to go solo, Nelson noted: "If we were on our own, we'd be terrified. I just love that we - I know it sounds really cheesy - but I love how we support each other and bring out a confidence in each other that we never knew we had. I think if we were on our own, we'd absolutely sh*t ourselves." Awww! In regards to their tight bond, Leigh-Anne Pinnock added: "When I split up with my ex, I was thinking 'I have got my three best friends, what does it matter?' I'm so lucky to have these girls and that's how we feel all the time. We're the best of friends. People don't believe that we actually get on as well." LOVES it! Of course with all the breakup talk attention pivoted quickly to Zayn Malik's ex Perrie Edwards, who recently addressed their split in the girl band's new. The blonde beauty dished: "For a normal girl to go through something like that it's hard. I think when the whole world is looking at it and talking about it, you feel a bit [affected by it]. Obviously, I didn't say too much about it, I briefly mentioned it. I wasn't going to not mention it... You're in control at the end of the day and I briefly mentioned it, kind of said what happened but I would never get into detail because it is personal." We bet the former One Direction member was grateful for Perrie's discretion. But hey, if LM's new hit Shout Out To My Ex taught us anything it's that the girl group are doing just fine on their own! Snaps all around ladies. (Perez Hilton)

Jackie Chan Just Won An Oscar! Jackie Chan's father used to ask him all the time that why after being celebrated around the world with countless awards he had never won an Oscar. "I just look at my dad and said, 'Ha, ha, ha,'" Chan, 62, said last night at the Governors Awards in Hollywood. "'Dad, I only make comedy action movies.'" With more than 200 films under his belt spanning a 56-year career, Chan finally received a gold statuette as one of four recipients of this year's Governors Awards. Chan remembered seeing Sylvester Stallone's Oscar when he had a meeting with the Rocky star at his house 23 years ago. "I touched it, kissed it, smelled it," Chan kidded. "I believe it still has my fingerprints on it...Then I talked to myself, 'I really want one.' Finally, [Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs] called and I said, 'Are you sure?'" Chan's Rush Hour co-star Chris Tucker presented him with the award after Tom Hanks gave a toast and a video was shown that featured testimonials from directors Brett Ratner and Jennifer Yuh Nelson. "I want to thank all my fans around the world because you're the reason I continue to make movies, jumping through windows, kicking and punching [and] breaking my bones," Chan said before receiving a standing ovation. "Thank you so much!" Follow honorees included film editor Anne V. Coates, casting director Lynn Stalmaster and documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. The Governors Awards is considered a must for actors and filmmakers hoping for an Oscar nomination. Saturday night's guest list included Nicole Kidman, Warren Beatty, Emma Stone, Lupita Nyong'o, Ryan Reynolds, Viola Davis, Andrew Garfield, Ruth Negga, Joel Edgerton, Helen Mirren, Richard Gere, Armie Hammer, Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Laura Dern, Octavia Spencer, Miles Teller, Taraji P. Henson, Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams, Pharrell Williams, Kate Beckinsale, Lily Collins, Marion Cotillard, Felicity Jones and Sir Ben Kingsley. (Eonline)

Why Anna Kendrick Thought ''Only a Couple Nerds'' Would Watch Pitch Perfect. When Pitch Perfect became the second highest-earning musical comedy of all time, no one was more surprised than Anna Kendrick. The Scrappy Little Nobody author appeared on NBC News' Sunday Today this morning, where she opened up to Willie Geist about her rise from Broadway child actress to full blown movie star. Kendrick had tasted superstardom during the 2010 award season when she earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod for Up Up and Away, but it wasn't until Pitch Perfect hit theaters two years later that she realized her status in Hollywood. "No, not at all," Anna answered when asked if she expected the flick's success. "When I read the script I was so expecting it to be something I'd seen before. I was just hoping a couple nerds would really like it." $115 million in the bank, an even more successful sequel and an upcoming third installment later, suffice to say more than just a couple nerds fell in love with Anna and The Bellas. The 31-year-old also experienced major success in the music scene with her song from the film, "Cups (When I'm Gone)." It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts, surpassing other artists left and right. "It's so weird. I was just like, 'How is this just happening?'" Kendrick recalled, continuing, "The other people on the charts were Miley Cyrus and Macklemore and they're out promoting and they must be like, 'What is this bulls--t?'" Anna added, "I think it was a real testament to the nerdery that exists in the world." (Eonline)

Robert Redford is retiring from acting. Veteran star Robert Redford is bidding farewell to acting-telling his grandson that he'll focus on directing and artwork after he wraps up two projects. The 80-year-old Oscar-winning actor made the announcement while being interviewed by Dylan Redford for the Walker Art Center, where he will appear for an event Saturday. Dylan, an artist and gallerist, asked him if ever thinks about returning to painting. "Yeah, a lot -- and a lot lately because I'm getting tired of acting. I'm an impatient person, so it's hard for me to sit around and do take after take after take," Redford said. He said he started out as an artist in his late teens. "I wanted to get out of this country and experience different ways of seeing the world. So I went to Europe, but I went as an artist. I was increasing my skill set and exploring storytelling through painting," he said. "Doing that, I realized how much I loved it. Later, when I became an actor, I suffered for four or five years not being sure I wanted to be in that business because I so wanted to be an artist. I just wanted to paint and sketch and tell stories by drawing," he said. His first foray behind the camera was for the 1980 family drama "Ordinary People." "I didn't know the technical language of filmmaking, so I said, 'OK, I'm going to do my own storyboard,' because I had to explain to the crew and the technical people what I wanted," he said. He got the message across and the movie scored four Academy Awards, including for Best Picture and Best Director. During his 50-year career, Redford-who also founded the Sundance Film Festival in Utah -- starred in several classics, including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "All the President's Men." He said he has two acting projects in the works: Opposite Jane Fonda in "Our Souls at Night," which he described as "a love story for older people who get a second chance in life," and "Old Man with a Gun" with Casey Affleck and Sissy Spacek. "Once they're done then I'm going to say, 'OK, that's goodbye to all that,' and then just focus on directing." (PageSix)

Did Kim Cattrall Just Confirm That a Sex and the City Spinoff is Happening? Now this is the smoking gun Sex and the City fans have anxiously been waiting for. Kim Cattrall recently responded to ongoing rumors that the four female leads behind the beloved HBO series will reunite in the near future, and her answer is more promising than ever. The actress, who played daring publicist Samantha Jones alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, replied to a Wendy Williams Show segment about the possibility of a spinoff starring Cattrall on Twitter Saturday morning. "I'm so unbelievably flattered & moved," Kim wrote, adding, "Can't WAIT 2 get back 2 the serious business of making u all laugh! Fingers x'd." Day. Made. When a fan asked if Cattrall's response was solid confirmation that brand new SATC is on the way, she answered, "Finger's x'd..." The last time we saw Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha together onscreen was six years ago when Sex and the City 2 hit theaters, and given 2018 marks the twentieth anniversary of its premiere, timing for a reboot has never been better. SJP set the rumor mill ablaze in October when she told CBS' Sunday Morning, "I will say that the idea [for a SATC revival,] it rests in the butler's pantry. Not on the table, but somebody is holding it fairly nearby." Looks like we're getting closer and closer to a green light on production! (Eonline)

Moonlight Stars Weigh In On Oscar Buzz, Fans' Heartfelt Reactions and More. If you haven't seen it by now, please add Moonlight to your must-see movie list. The indie drama directed by Barry Jenkins follows the life of a boy in Miami as he grows into adulthood while struggling with his sexuality. The boy is played by three actors: Jaden Piner as a pre-teen, Ashton Sanders as an adolescent and Trevante Rhodes as the hardened young man he becomes after spending several years behind bars. Moonlight captured Oscar buzz shortly after it premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in early September. Rhodes says he hopes praise from critics and movie-goers will mean a larger audience. "I think it prompts more people to see the film, like especially right now in the world, we need to see the film," he told me at the HFPA/InStyle announcement of Miss Golden Globes 2017. "It's not a cheesy plug when it's the truth. We need to see the film, everybody needs to see the film to understand that love is the driving force." Rhodes and Sanders shared what it feels like to hear from men who relate to the story. "Oh man, it's awesome to have people feel that I told the story well and my rendition of it was so universal," Sanders said. "It's great to have people respect your artistry especially when you put your heart and soul into your project like this so it's amazing and it was life-changing for me and it's life-changing for other people so that collectively is really dope." Rhodes said, "I heard the day the trailer came out [from] people who hadn't seen it...People will come up to me with tears in their eyes saying, 'Thank you for telling this story. This is my story. I appreciate you.' And there has been more since them. That is the reason why we do it, you know." Naomie Harris plays the boy's crack-addicted mother Paula. She shot her scenes in just three days after preparing for the role by watching YouTube videos. "I definitely did take the work home with me for those three days. I was in Paula's world morning, noon, and night," Harris said, adding, "She is the most challenging role I have ever had to play because she is so far removed from who I am." Moonlight is in theaters now. (Eonline)

J.K. Rowling Finds a Dumbledore for Fantastic Beasts Sequel. Johnny Depp's talent is indisputable. But, given the allegations lodged against him earlier this year, he also comes with baggage. So, when it was revealed that Depp briefly appears in Warner Bros.' Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them -- as Gellert Grindelwald, no less -- many Harry Potter fans voiced their disapproval. E! News caught up with the one and only J.K. Rowling at the movie's red carpet premiere in New York Thursday, where she explained why only Depp could play Albus Dumbledore's rival (described in the Harry Potter novels as one of the "most dangerous dark wizards of all time"). "I didn't approach him -- although he was approached with my full blessing, because I thought he'd be amazing in the part. I can't say much, because there are surprises in the movie, but I'm really happy with his performance," the screenwriter teased. "And I think the fans will be, too." Speaking of Dumbledore, Rowling revealed she has an actor in mind for the sequel. "I have, of course, thought about this. I do have a name. I do have someone in mind, but I can't say it. Because if that person doesn't get cast, then the person who does get cast will blame me forever for having said it, won't they?" Rowling told E! News. "So, I'm going to just keep quiet." "If it is that person," she added, "then you will know about it." In the meantime, fans should keep an eye out for Depp in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in theaters Nov. 18. The film's director, David Yates, defended the actor's involvement in an interview with Screen Rant published Wednesday. "The whole principal of casting the movie was, 'Go for the best actor. Go for the most inspired, interesting, right fit for that character.' As we started to approach Grindelwald, we thought, 'Who's going to take this in an interesting direction?'" the filmmaker explained. "In this business -- it's a weird old business -- you're a star one week, people are saying odd things the next, but no one takes away your pure talent." "Johnny Depp is a real artist and he's created several characters who have really resonated in our popular culture,'" Yates added. "He's a really brilliant, brilliant actor, and we were excited about seeing what he would do with this kind of character. He's fearless. He's imaginative. He's ambitious. We thought he'd do something fun and special. So, we went for him purely on that selfish basis. We don't care if he's famous or not famous -- we just know he's interesting." Producer David Heyman was in total agreement, telling Screen Rant, "Grindelwald is an iconic character, so I think it was important to have someone who [has] that weight and there's a reason why he has that weight. It's because he's a fine actor who makes unexpected choices." The other actors -- including Carmen Ejogo, Colin Farrell, Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Eddie Redmayne, Alison Sudol, Jon Voight and Katherine Waterston -- were a dream. "We have an amazing cast, and they have amazing chemistry together," Rowling told E! News. "Potter sets were always very happy places, and this is another. It's just a very nice place to be."

Disney's First Poster for the Beauty and the Beast Live-Action Movie Is Here. We've watched the teaser trailer and scrolled through movie stills of the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, but we finally have the most official thing to date: the first official poster! Yes, Emma Watson (who plays Belle in the flick) took to Facebook to share the imagery with her fans and followers for the first time. "So happy I get to show all of you the new teaser poster for Beauty and the Beast," she wrote. "You are the very first people to see this! I hope you like it. Love, Emma x" The poster encapsulates all the magical feelings the movie brings its viewers, featuring Belle and the Beast (Dan Stevens) dancing in a spotlight filled with purple and blue hues that seem to sparkle in their presence. The new teaser comes just a few days after Disney released an abundance of movie stills from the film last week, and they're just as breathtaking as the poster. From Watson and Stevens' appearance to the phenomenal re-imagining of the Beast's library to the costumes and the set design, everything is even more amazing than we imagined. However, there are a few tweaks between the live-action film and the original movie. For example, Watson said she re-envisioned Belle's appearance slightly. "My Belle is very practical," the actress told Entertainment Weekly last week. "In the movie she wears these little ballet shoes, and I knew they had to go. If you're going to ride your horse and tend your garden and fix machinery, then you need to be in proper boots." Meanwhile the film, directed by Bill Condon, also features several other big stars, including: Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gadd as Le Fou, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Adrian Schiller as Monsieur D'Arque, Hattie Morahan as Agathe the Enchantress, Henry Garrett as the King and Harriet Jones as the Queen. It also boasts an impressive voice cast, too, with Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Audra McDonald as Wardrobe, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Babette and Nathan Mack as Chip Potts. Beauty and the Beast will be released on March 17, 2017. (Eonline)

Jocks and Film Geeks Battle at Germany's Constantin. Shareholders vote to spin off the film and TV business, but the producers of the 'Resident Evil' films reject the move and call for the resignation of CEO Fred Kogel. At European mini-major Constantin Medien, a shareholder battle is underway that resembles a 1980s high-school comedy: jocks versus film geeks. On the side of the jocks: Dieter Hahn, one of Constantin's major shareholders. He has long been pushing for the company to dump its film and TV business and focus on the sports side of the group, which includes Sport 1, a German ESPN-style TV channel, and TEAM, the Swiss-based group that handles the marketing rights for the UEFA Champions League, a European club soccer tournament. On the side of the film geeks: Bernhard Burgener, a former Constantin Medien CEO and former head of Highlight Communications, the Swiss-based company that holds a 100 percent stake in Constantin's film and TV division, Constantin Film. Constantin Medien holds a majority stake in Highlight. Constantin Film is one of Europe's leading producers and distributors, with homegrown hits like Fack Ju Gohte -- recently remade as the Spanish-language No Manches Frida -- and German distributor of U.S. features, including Girl on the Train, BFG and Dirty Grandpa. Internationally, it is best known for its long-running Resident Evil franchise, about to come to a close with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the sixth film in the series. Burgener, a self-confessed film geek, has been the main force fighting Hahn and his plans to spin off Constantin's movie business. Both Hahn and Burgener have significant stakes in Constantin Medien (as of Nov. 2, Hahn held 10.5 percent of the company, Burgener 6.6 percent) and both have their own team in the form of shareholder group KF 15, which controls 18.1 percent of Constantin Medien and backs Hahn's sports-only focus, and Highlight Event and Entertainment, which holds 13.6 percent and support Burgener's film focus. This week, the jocks at Constantin approved a proposal by management for a "strategic realignment" that aims to split off Constantin's film division and focus operations on its sports and event marketing businesses. After a two-day marathon meeting, a majority of shareholders voted to support the measure. "Positioning ourselves as a sports-only company is in our estimation the best and most promising strategy for the Constantin Medien Group in the long term,? said Constantin Medien CEO Fred Kogel in a statement. "It will give us the opportunity to increase the group's return on sales and profitability permanently and sustainably.? But the film geeks are having none of it. In a counter statement, Highlight Communications, the Swiss-based company that controls Constantin Film, rejected the shareholder vote, accusing Kogel's and Hahn's sports-only contingent of bad faith and suspicious maneuverings in the shareholder vote. "Highlight Communications considers all resolutions of the annual general meeting of Constantin Medien to be null and void," reads the statement, calling the vote illegitimate and alleging that "38.6 percent of the shareholder votes were arbitrarily excluded from the vote." Highlight said it will challenge the Constantin Medien vote and called for the immediate resignation of company CEO Kogel "The relationship between Mr. Kogel and the entire Highlight group has been incurably damaged not least because of his behavior at the recent annual general meeting," the Highlight statement read. Martin Moszkowicz, executive chairman of Constantin Film, tells THR that the shareholder dispute would have no impact on day-to-day operations at the company or on any of its current or future productions. He said he expects the shareholder dispute with Constantin Medien and between Constantin and Highlight will continue for some time. (Hollywood Reporter)

Hollywood Studios Beat Lawsuit Over PG and PG-13 Films Featuring Smoking. A judge concludes that ratings are opinions, that misrepresentations haven't been made, and that the proposed class action interferes with free speech. The Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners have come out victorious in a lawsuit that insisted that tobacco imagery in films rated G, PG or PG-13 causes 200,000 children every year to become cigarette smokers and 64,000 people to die as a result. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg dismissed an attempt led by a California father of two children to hold major film studios and theater owners legally responsible. The legal action from Timothy Forsyth on behalf of himself and others similarly situated claimed that the industry's film ratings practices amounted to negligence, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, false advertising, unfair competition and nuisance. In response, Hollywood raised a First Amendment defense, arguing that ratings merely reflect opinions about what's suitable for children and compelling them to give R ratings to anything found socially unacceptable could apply to films depicting activity like alcohol use, gambling, contact sports, high-speed driving and so forth. In an order striking the complaint under California's anti-SLAPP statute, Seeborg first takes up the question of whether the claims arise from acts in furtherance of free speech in connection with a public issue. The judge tackles Forsyth's argument that the rating system represents "pure commercial speech" and that the only speech at issue are the "certification trademarks" of G, PG, PG-13 and R issued by the Classification and Ratings Board ("CARA"). "The flaw in Forsyth's reasoning, however, is that while some certification trademarks undoubtedly are merely representations of the characteristics of products and therefore arguably only commercial speech outside the purview of anti-SLAPP and entitled to only limited First Amendment protections, CARA's marks serve a different purpose and arise in a different context," Seeborg writes. "Indeed, the certification statements filed with the [Patent & Trademark Office] when each of the marks was registered plainly explain that CARA is merely 'certifying' that 'in its opinion' the particular film warrants a particular level of parental caution. Furthermore, the underlying 'product' -- films -- are not mere commercial products, but are expressive works implicating anti-SLAPP concerns and plainly entitled to full First Amendment protection." Having concluded this, Seeborg then examines whether Forsyth has any likelihood of prevailing on his claims. "Forsyth insists that a rating less stringent than R is a representation that 'the film is suitable for children under seventeen unaccompanied by a parent or guardian,'" continues the judge. "The ratings plainly make no such representations. Rather, the PG and PG-13 ratings caution parents that material in such movies may be inappropriate for children. More fundamentally, the ratings reflect the consensus opinion of CARA board members. As such, neither intentional nor negligent misrepresentation claims are tenable as pleaded." The judge then writes that the plaintiff has also failed to allege facts, if proven, that would establish the defendants had legal duties to him, created a public nuisance or how any the activity would be "specially injurious" to him. The ruling comes after a hearing that was held on Oct. 28. Then, the judge also expressed discomfort with making a determination that could invite future lawsuits over film content. Afterwards, the plaintiff's lawyers attempted to calm the judge's slippery slope worries by writing, "The only movie content that has ever been scientifically proven to kill kids by the hundreds of thousands is tobacco imagery. If additional scientific research and evidence does ever become sufficient to prove that exposing children to imagery in movies of bullying or violence or under-age drinking causes kids to engage in increased bullying, violence or under-age drinking then defendants should also be held liable if they rate such content with the PG and PG-13 ratings (under defendants existing rating system). But concern about possible future cases should not prevent doing the right thing in this case when we know what we know now." The argument wasn't enough, although it's not specifically addressed by today's opinion. The defendants were represented by attorneys led by Kelly Klaus at Munger Tolles. (Hollywood Reporter)

How to Get Away With Murder's Death Reveal Will Be "Heartbreaking and Horrible," Star Warns. We've endured cliffhanger after cliffhanger throughout season three of How to Get Away With Murder, not to mention the tension-filled previous two seasons. But no scene was more emotional than the ending of Thursday night's episode, a.k.a. the last one before we find out who is under the sheet -- and what exactly happened at Annalise's house that night. Frank (Charlie Weber) has spent the season adrift, and finally returned to Philadelphia with one goal in mind: to see Annalise (Viola Davis) again. He finally succeeded, but their confrontation ended with Frank holding a gun to his head, Annalise yelling at him to shoot himself and Bonnie (Liza Weil) yelling at him not to. Naturally, we'll have to wait until next week to find out whether he did (this is HTGAWM, after all), but Weber tells E! News that filming the scene was just as stressful as you'd think. "It was extremely intense. Three very intense actors doing what they do -- it was a lot that day," Weber tells us of the powerful scene. "I knew that was coming when I read it," he adds. "It was perfect -- it was intense and scary and wonderful and all the things I wanted it to be. I knew it would be a lot on the day but I loved the scene when I read it." This season has revealed more about Frank than ever, and Weber has a few thoughts about how his hit man character turned out the way he did. "There was always violence inside of him and after what happened with Annalise and her unborn child, he just let that side of him come out in an effort to help her in any way that she needed. And over the course of time, he had to use that side of himself so much that it just took hold," he says. The good side is still there, it just hasn't come out in a while. "He's just such an unbelievably complicated person but he has a lot of love." While you might've just barely made it through that scene -- and the ending of the episode, which didn't exactly resolve much (was that Connor hookup before the fire or during?!) -- know the worst is yet to come. The fall finale, which will finally reveal the victim, will be the most dramatic hour of the show yet. "It's going to come together but it's heartbreaking and horrible and tears all around," Weber says. "It's an intense, intense episode. Buckle up." How to Get Away With Murder airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Grey's Anatomy Just Broke Our Hearts With That Trip Down Memory Lane. Nobody tugs on our heartstrings like Shonda Rhimes. Nobody. As Grey's Anatomy broke form Thursday night, never leaving the O.R. as Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), Richard (James Pickens Jr.), Owen (Kevin McKidd), and Stephanie (Jerrika Hinton) fought the good, but particularly arduous fight to save a John Doe's life, each doctor ascribed a personality of their creation to the man so they weren't just working like mechanics on a car. Rather, as Richard argued, the fight for this man's life would be real, palpable even, if he had a story attached to him. Naturally, no one created a character to save, instead retreating to a painful memory of someone in their past. And everyone's was heartbreaking in their own right, no one could top Meredith. Because Meredith's involved -- you guessed it -- Derek. After learning that Richard's person was his mother, a musician who fell ill to pancreatic cancer and never played again, Stephanie's was her younger self, confined to her bed with a debilitating illness, and Owen's was his oft-discussed sister (played by the delightful Bridget Regan), we got to Meredith's memories. And because Shonda loves to play on our emotions, we witnessed an abstract version of when Mer had to tell Zola and Bailey that their dad died. And if you've ever doubted whether Ellen Pompeo is perfect in this role, you need look no further than that scene because she acted it out of the park. The tears weren't over, though. We were due for one last gut punch as Meredith was left alone in the O.R. and her narration kicked in. "We've all hit that point of exhaustion. The point where nothing makes sense anymore. Your body hurts, your brain becomes foggy, and you feel like you're trapped in a tunnel, when all you want is your bed. So, how do you keep going? How do you not just sit down and give up? Sometimes, it's easy. Sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone," she said. That someone? Why, Derek Shephard, of course. Cue McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey, flashing his season one grin and saying "Hi." (And cue our uncontrollable sobs!) "Someone good," the narration continued. "Whatever you need to keep you going." What did you think about the trip down memory lane and the episode's unique format? Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. (Eonline)

Amy Adams, Jimmy Fallon Play Singing Whisper Challenge on 'Tonight Show'. The 'Arrival' star and Fallon giggled their way through trying to guess various song lyrics. Amy Adams, star of the just-released sci-fi film Arrival and soon-to-be-released thriller Nocturnal Animals, took time out of her busy schedule to make an appearance on Thursday's Tonight Show, where she and host Jimmy Fallon played a music-influenced version of his whisper challenge game called the "Singing Whisper Challenge." The game, in which one person must wear headphones with loud music blaring while another reads the lyrics of a well-known song, had the actress struggling to read lips as Fallon belted out the chorus from Survivor's 1982 pump-up classic, "Eye of the Tiger." "Something for fashion?" Adams guessed, laughing. It only took the star two attempts to catch on, however, as she nailed the answer on her second attempt -- although a few catlike hand gestures from Fallon almost certainly helped. Next up was the host's turn to don the headphones. Keeping with the '80s theme, Adams drew lyrics from The Bangles' 1986 hit "Walk Like an Egyptian." Fallon furrowed his brow and guessed, "Rolling like a chick machine?" Near miss. Second guess, with a bit more confidence: "One day, chick machine." Once again, a little bit of hand movement went a long way, as Adams pulled out the iconic Egyptian walk dance made famous by the song. Fallon was quick to catch on. Last up, it was Adams' turn to guess once again. Fallon drew Boyz II Men's 1994 soul jam "I'll Make Love to You," which had him -- and the crowd -- in hysterics before the game even began. Adams was close right off the bat. "Nothing but love will do?" She ventured. This time, however, she didn't need any help from Fallon's gesticulations and was spot-on in her second guess.
