Yours truly is BACK with his 'Drag Race' recaps!!

We were unfortunately unable to recap the Lady Gaga driven premiere last week, but we're here now to get this season started. 
Following last weeks first challenge and runway, our beloved host RuPaul informed us all that a 14th queen would be entering the competition, and it was none other than....




Miss Congeniality herself, season 8 queen Cynthia Lee Fontaine!!! 
Our beloved Cucu returned to the competition, and now it's officially ON!!

The queens then got another surprise when none other than 'FRIENDS' and 'The Comeback' star Lisa Kudrow showed up in the workroom alongside RuPaul.

The queens were split into two group, led by last episode winner Nina and the returning Cynthia for an epic cheerleading competition.

They went through some vigorous training with some professional gymnastic champions, before retreating back to the workroom to begin their work on their looks.

It didn't take long, first ti…

They're filming something right?

RIGHT!?

Four months after splitting from husband Ryan Dorsey, it appears 'Glee' alum Naya Rivera has moved on:

With David Spade!!

'Entertainment Tonight' released an exclusive photo of the pair at a hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii, where they enjoyed some pool time.

Also there were Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, who are currently there for a stop on their 'Here Comes the Funny' tour.

Naya and David look VERY close in these photos.....

Thoughts?

Check out more pics (via ET) below:

Let's start a healthy debate here. 
New photos of Brad Pitt have emerged, and it's quite obvious the 53 year old has shed quite a bit of weight recently. 
Brad was seen out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, while many tabloids are running the story that he's dropped the weight due to the stress of the divorce from Angelina Jolie. 
It's also possible that Brad has dropped the weight for a movie role. 
What do you guys think? 

THANK YOU RYAN.

Ryan Phillippe is showing off his chiseled physique in a behind the scenes look of his 'Men's Fitness' upcoming issue.

The 42 year old actor took to Instagram to preview the spread:

Everything this woman has done for this album has been pitch perfect, and this new song is no exception.

Lea Michele is getting closer to releasing her sophomore album 'Places', and following the stunning lead single 'Love is Alive' as well as 'Anything's Possible'  , she's followed it up with yet another soaring number.

'Run To You' is an exquisitely, gorgeous ballad that once again highlights Lea's incredible vocals, and I may or may not have been crying the first time I listened to it.

Okay fine, I did.....and I'm still crying.

Absolutely beautiful.

Absolutely PERFECT. 
Last night, Tinashe stopped by 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' where she slaughtered her performance of brand new single 'Flame'. 
Those vocals?
YES MA'AM!!!
Check it out: 

Hey, I can get behind this!!

Reports broke yesterday that Beyonce could be close to signing on the dotted line to voice Nala, in Jon Favreau's upcoming 'The Lion King' live action remake.

While the singer is currently expecting twins, sources are saying that the studio is willing to work around her schedule, seeing as it is only voice work. She hasn't yet decided if she'll do it.

Previously confirmed for the film include Donald Glover voicing Simba, and James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa.

Who would be on board with this?

Pretty sure the hype here is HUGE.

Last week, Harry Styles dropped a quick teaser of his upcoming solo debut track, but we didn't have any other information, other than it was coming April 7th.

Now, we have a title and some artwork!!

'Sign of The Times' will be Harry's first solo track since One Direction took their hiatus, and will follow on the heels of ex-member Zayn's solo material as well as singles from Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.

Who's ready for Harry Styles the solo star?

This is pretty damn brilliant!!

Yesterday, it was revealed that Victoria Beckham had appeared to tape a 'Carpool Karaoke' segment with 'Late, Late Show' host James Corden.

And she kind of did.

The segment features a spoof on the 1987 film 'Mannequin', and we also get a quick scene of Victoria and James belting out 'Spice Up Your Life':


Seriously, this was GREAT!!!

What did you guys think?

THESE. LADIES. DESERVES. WORLDWIDE. SUPERSTARDOM.

I'm tired of screaming this.

While we're still obsessed with 'Touch', Little Mix have gone ahead and moved forward with their 3rd official 'Glory Days' single 'No More Sad Songs'.

The ladies channel their best 'Coyote Ugly' realness while being joined by rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

And TURN. IT. OUT.

All of the ladies are looking fierce, but can we also mention Leigh-Anne's vocals?

OBSESSED.

Check it out:

Oh man.....

We're getting so close to finding out who claims the throne!!!

HBO released a brand new promo for the upcoming 7th season of 'Game of Thrones', and it fetures 3 of the main characters.

Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei), and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) all take the long walk to the iron throne...

With an icy twist at the end!!

WINTER. HAS. ARRIVED.

Check it out:


Season 7 premieres July 7, 2017.

She decides to sit out the Spice Girls reunion, and then will sing songs of theirs with James?

OH I HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS.

Victoria Beckham will be the latest celeb to take a spin with 'Late, Late Show' host James Corden for another installment of 'Carpool Karaoke'.

There's no airdate for the episode yet, but what Spice Girls songs do you think she'll tackle?

Maybe we'll get some solo material too?

Vicky knows she can't do this in the car right?




Can she at least sing this?

I'm having flashbacks to that horrendous Lucille Ball statue.

Yesterday, the Madeira Airport in Santa Cruz, Madeira, Portugal was renamed after soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. In honor of the renaming, the airport also unveiled a statue of him.

And it's terrifying.

I mean, WHO IS THAT EVEN SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE?!

Can we get a do over?

Girl.....

It's been 20 years.

We really still doing this?

Recently, the cast of 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' reunited for a pretty epic photo, with Alfonso Ribeiro even paying tribute to the late James Avery.

Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete. A post shared by Alfonso Ribeiro (@therealalfonsoribeiro) on Mar 27, 2017 at 5:27pm PDT
Well, actress Janet Hubert isn't having any of it.

Hubert originated the role of Aunt Vivian, which was then taken over by Daphne Maxwell Reid, who was present for the photo.

Hubert released a statement via her Facebook page, and she ain't happy:

“I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribero has posted his so called reunion photo,” 

 “Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the ass wipe for Will [Smith]. There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.”

“I am not offended in…

Can't sleep.....Pennywise will eat me.......can't sleep.....PENNYWISE WILL EAT ME.

Yeah, yours truly has a certain phobia when it comes to clowns, so just imagine what this trailer did to me!!

The first trailer for the upcoming remake of the classic Stephen King novel-turned-film 'IT' has dropped, and we have chills all over.

We get small glimpses of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise, and it's enough to scare the crap out of us!!

Check it out:

No ma'am.

ABSOLUTELY. NOT.

Chris Pine stepped out at the CinemaCon presentation Wednesday night, showing off his newly shaved head.....

And no.

What do you guys think?

I screamed.

Loud.

And now have a permanent smile on my face.

Majority of the cast of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' reunited for the shows 20th anniversary, in a spread for 'Entertainment Weekly'.

Stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanz scored the cover photo, but the Scooby gang was all included inside.

Alyson Hannigan (Willow), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn), James Marsters (Spike), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Seth Green (Oz), Amber Benson (Tara), Alexis Denisof (Wesley)  and Kristine Sutherland (Joyce) all joined Sarah and David for the spread.

Nicholas Brendon (Xander) was also on hand, but didn't seem to partake in the joint interview with the rest of the cast. Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) seemed like the lone omission.

Check out a video (featuring creator Joss Whedon) below:


I NEED THIS ARTICLE NOW.

You can see photos below:

Such sad news.

'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' star Darlene Cates passed away over the weekend at the age of 69, and today, her on-screen son Leonardo DiCaprio released a statement.

Leo took to his Facebook to release a statement on her passing:


RIP Darlene.

We already know, thanks to 'Civil War', that Tom Holland is going to NAIL this....
But the trailer just solidifies that even more!! 
The brand new trailer for 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' dropped earlier today, and we're even more pumped for it!!
We get more glimpses of Peter Parker (Holland) being joined by Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) himself, as well as more looks at the big bad, played by Oscar nominee Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei and Zendaya. 
Check it out: 


I AM SO READY FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!
Arrives July 7th, 2017.

Internet troll?

YOU'VE BEEN TERMINATED.

Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a video to his social media, congratulating the winners of the Special Olympics, which her held in his native Austria.

Like any other amazing post, it was met with an internet troll responding with a disgusting comment:

“The Olympics are for the best athletes in the entire world to compete against each other to determine who is the best,” 

“Having retards competing is doing the opposite!”

Arnold wasn't standing for the comment AT ALL and schooled the troll: 



*mic drop*

THE END.

There is a lot of information to take in here, so let's dive in.

It's been rumored for months that 'American Idol' would be returning sooner than later, and we now have more information.

Fox and NBC are currently in a bidding war with Fremantle Media (which owns 'Idol') to bring the long running program back. Sources are saying a decision could be made this week.

NBC is looking to add the show to its lineup to balance 'The Voice'. According to sources, they feel airing two cycles of 'The Voice' per year is getting to be too much, and original coach/judge Adam Levine is said to want it down to 1 as well. This would allow the network to air one at a time.

Of course, with Fox, it would be returning home.

Fox and NBC are both on board to bring Ryan Seacrest in as host, but he may be the only one.

It's being said that Fox never gave up on the show, it just became too costly with whom they had attached. Ryan, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harr…

After how panned season 2 was, this is somewhat surprising.

HBO's 'True Detective' received wide praise for its debut season, featuring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, but stumled with its follow up, starring Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams.

Many assumed a 3rd installment wouldn't happen, but now we've learned otherwise.

Creator of the series, Nic Pizzolatto, has written 2 episodes already, and is currently working alongside David Milch to create a new season.

It's been 2 years since the series aired.

Can they find the magic again?

And who would you guys like to see star?

And now the James Avery feelings are hitting us HARD.

Alfonso Ribeiro shared a great photo of himself reuniting with his 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' costars and we couldn't be happier.

The 'Dancing with the Stars' champion posed alongside Will Smith, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Daphne Maxwell Reid, and Joseph Marcell.

He even added a sweet message to the late James.

Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete. A post shared by Alfonso Ribeiro (@therealalfonsoribeiro) on Mar 27, 2017 at 5:27pm PDT

Well, we're happy for his weight loss.....

There was a time when Jon Gosselin was a reality TV star alongside then wife Kate in their show 'Jon & Kate Plus 8', and their 8 children.

Now however, Jon is taking himself to Atlantic City on April 1st (his 40th birthday) to star in 3 acts in 'Untamed Male Revue', a strip club.

He spoke with PageSix about his recent weight loss:

“I lost weight. I lost 25 pounds — for my health, too,”  “I have hereditary high blood pressure. So I started dieting. My girlfriend is a nurse practitioner. I just try to be healthy.” “It’s the last episode in my 30s and the first episode in my 40s,” Good luck?

Welcome to Monday night!!

We were reminded right away that Heather Morris was riding solo tonight, as Maks didn't make his entrance alongside her. We would be learning more later in the night.

We also learned that we would lose our first couple tonight following last nights votes.

Let's jump right into the fun!!

1. Nancy Kerrigan and Artem - Cha Cha

It's such a joy to see Nancy having so much fun, and coming off high from her debut last week, this was good. The judges picked up on a bit of a misstep near the beginning, but she carried on pretty well. Was this as strong as last week? No, but it won't hurt her. Nancy could be sticking around for awhile.

The judges gave them four 7's.

28 out of 40

2. Erika Jayne and Gleb - Foxtrot

Following the criticism from Len last week that they were bringing too much sex appeal to the dancefloor, the duo were refusing to clean anything up.

Erika floated across the stage during her foxtrot, and she looked absolutely stunning doing s…

Let's get some opinions on this.
Yesterday, some of the cast of 'American Horror Story: Roanoke' arrived to the Paleyfest panel to discuss their season, but things took a bit of a turn. 
When co-star Kathy Bates was welcomed to the stage, Sarah Paulson stood up to greet her, to which Cuba Gooding Jr. lifted up the back of her dress. 
Sarah briefly let out a small scream, as Cuba caught her off guard, but then seemed to take the moment in stride, as she quickly pulled it back down and ignored the incident further. 
As of right now, neither Paulson nor Gooding have addressed the incident, but Twitter absolutely wasn't having it. Several people blasted Cuba for his actions.
During the rest of the panel, the 2 did share some laughs and seemed to be having a good time. 
So, what do we think? 
Joking around? Or simply out of line?

HERE. COMES. HARRY.

Harry Styles is finally gearing up to drop his solo music, following the release of a very cryptic video teaser.

The single, with the name still unknown, will be dropping April 7th.

Check out the teaser below:

These vocals......

THESE. VOCALS.

Little Mix stopped by iHeartRadio, where they turned out a ridiculous cover of Rihanna's track 'Love on the Brain'.

It's perfect. Just, simply perfect.

Check it out:

The curse has already struck!!

'Dancing with the Stars' pro Maksim Chmerkovsiky announced on 'Good Morning America' today, that he has injured his calf muscle.

This is forcing Maks to sit out week two (airing tonight), and his celeb partner Heather Morris will dance with troupe member Alan Bersten.

There are reports Maks' injury could sideline him longer, but no confirmation on that yet.

And so it begins.

Yours truly has been on vacation, but we couldn't pass up this glorious news!!

One Direction member Liam Payne and Girls Aloud/pop superstar Cheryl Cole have welcomed their first child to the world!!

Cheryl gave birth to a healthy baby boy on March 22nd, and both she and Liam shared the same photo to their Instagram accounts with different messages to their fans:

On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream. Although he still doesn't have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever 💙 A post shared by Cheryl (@cherylofficial) on Mar 25, 2017 at 1:25pm PDT My close friends and family know there are very few times when I'm left speechless... wow! I'm incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the …

This is EXACTLY what Iggy needed to do!!

Iggy Azalea has finally made her return, and we couldn't be happier.

'Mo Bounce' is a fierce, radio ready banger, with a clap heavy beat!!

Check it out:

This song is STILL my jam, and that voice?

HEAVENLY!!

Julia Michaels made her late night TV debut performance on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon', with a killer rendition of her hit single 'Issues'.

The 23 year old singer/songwriter sounded absolutely amazing!!

Check it out:

Why couldn't Amy have stood with the guys?!

At last nights premiere of the new 'Power Rangers' movie, the cast of the original TV series reunited and we couldn't be happier!!

Austin St. John (Jason the Red Ranger), Walter Jones (Zack the Black Ranger), Jason David Frank (Tommy the Green Ranger) and David Yost (Billy the Blue Ranger) all posed for a photo in their iconic 'it's morphin' time' stance, while Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberley) posed for a photo on her own.

Sadly, Thuy Trang, who played the Yellow Ranger Trini, died in a car accident back in 2001 at the age of 27.

It was great to see the others at the premiere though.

This is beyond fierce!!!

Todrick Hall has re-issued his stellar 'Straight Outta Oz' album (his love letter to 'Wizard of Oz'), by including a few new songs, as well as some special guests.

And one of those special guests?

None other than RuPaul!!

The legendary drag queen and Emmy winning host of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' joins Todrick on his track 'Low', and it's EVERYTHING.

Check it out:

This is so bad.....but so damn funny at the same time.

Monday night, yours truly was so caught up with all of the 'Dancing With the Stars' excitement, we missed a very important tweet.

Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi, who famously won a Mirror Ball trophy all the way back in season 6, wished fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan luck......

With this very, badly worded tweet:

So excited for you @NancyAKerrigan ! Can't wait to see you grace that ballroom floor, break a leg! 💃🏻#DWTS — Kristi Yamaguchi (@kristiyamaguchi) March 20, 2017
If you have questions about that......

Look it up.

It's all you see right?

Allow me all to introduce 2 year old Isla Walton, a precious little girl who has taken the internet by storm by being a dead ringer for Ed Sheeran!!

Even Isla's mother Zoey cannot believe the responses she's getting over social media, speaking to DevonLive:

"It's completely madness. Everyone has been saying Isla looks like him for a long time and I never thought anything of it,"

THIS. IS. MAGICAL.

'American Idol' alum Jessica Sanchez is once again showing off her incredible vocals alongside Matt Bloyd for a cover of 'Beauty & the Beast'.....
