Bottoms up! Joe Jonas took his brothers & his closest friends to Ibiza for some bachelor party fun ahead of his 2nd wedding to Sophie Turner.

Joe Jonas, 29, received an epic bachelor party on the island of Ibiza this week, where he lived the “fast life,” according to a new Instagram post. The Jonas Brothers member was sure to thank everyone who flew out for the festivities, which were largely kept under wraps. “THE BOY. THE BOYS. THE BOYS. Incredible weekend full of celebration In Ibiza. Love you all. #fastlife,” he wrote in his May 31 post, which included several snapshots from the trip. In the first photo, Joe was seen cheersing his friends, including his two bandmates, his pal Jordan McGraw, DNCE member Cole Whittle, and more! In another photo, he and Nick Jonas were spotted smoking cigars in a dimly lit restaurant.

It sounds like the alcohol was freely flowing throughout the festivities, because Kevin Jonas candidly admitted the siblings weren’t feeling too hot after the trip. “You should have seen us yesterday,” the 31-year-old joked during an interview with Capital FM.

Danielle Jonas’ brother, Mike Deleasa, also shared some photos from the trip via Instagram on May 30. “Submission for Trip Advisor…,” he captioned a series of pics featuring himself and DNCE member Cole on a yacht. “The Olive Garden is a must,” he wrote. He also shared a shot of Kevin dreamingly staring out at the water from the boat they were on.

Joe and the Game of Thrones star held a hush hush wedding in Las Vegas on May 1, and are set to exchange vows once again in France this June, reports Us. While the first wedding appeared to be spontaneous, a source revealed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that it was in the cards for the couple’s all along. “Sophie and Joe always had planned to do something here in the states and this wedding wasn’t as spur of the moment as it looked,” our source said. “It was planned. They had been talking about doing something like this for months now and schedules aligned and the BBMAs were planned, so they figured it was the perfect opportunity and why not do it. Sophie is really happy with Joe and very much in love with him. She truly couldn’t wait any longer to marry him and it was really all her idea to do this Vegas ceremony.”

As the happy couple prepares for wedding number two, it looks like Joe had the bachelor party of the century! The real question is: are there bachelorette festivities on deck for Sophie?

Ellen DeGeneres' Mom Responds to Sexual Assault Revelation ... 'I Live with That Regret'

Lilli Cooper’s Tony nomination is not only deserving, but it was also only a matter of time for the incredible actress to be recognized with the honor!

On April 30, 2019, Lilli Cooper decided to sleep through the Tony Nominations announcement, but was met with multiple missed called from her mother that morning, which she looked at as a pretty good sign. “I found out that I was a Tony nominee from my mom, which is pretty cool!” Lilli gushed later that day in an exclusive interview with HollywoodLife.com. “I just was screaming at the top of my lungs, jumping out of bed. I’ve just been pacing in my apartment. It’s just wild.”

Lilli’s first ever Tony nomination is in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical, recognizing her excellent performance as Julie in the on-stage version of the ’82 film Tootsie. Now, as a nominee, Lilli joins the impressive ranks of the best of the best on Broadway, including her Tony-winning father, Chuck Cooper. While chatting with the actress after she learned of her nomination, she revealed she had yet to speak to her dad about nomination! “I need to call him!” she exclaimed. Later, her dad told The Daily News, “Lilli’s nomination is yet another stunning example of how blessed I am. Her work in this show is so mature, nuanced, and clearly, folks are taking notice. My little girl is kicking butt on the Broadway stage. She’s amazing.” Aw!

Tootsie, which opened at the Marquis Theater on April 23, was immediately met with rave reviews, especially complimenting the modernization of the beloved story of a disgruntled actor named Michael who invents the female persona of Dorothy to get a role. Lilli plays Julie, an optimistic actress who wants to bring truth to her beloved craft and finds a strong connection with Dorothy. “We knew that we wanted a Julie that was way more independent, incredibly passionate about what she does, and that’s really what she focuses her life on,” Lilli explained of her character, played in the film by Jessica Lange.” The cool thing about that is that we found this mirror between Michael and Julie. They’re both these strong, passionate actors that love what they do, and will sacrifice anything for what they do.”

Santino Fontana, who plays the lovable, yet frustrating Michael/Dorothy, is also Tony nominated in the Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical category. “I’m just so proud of everybody,” Lilli gushed of her cast and crew after Tootsie received a total of 10 Tony nominations. “They’re all so deserving, so I’m just really grateful that we have been recognized for our work, because we have worked our butts off, and I’m really proud of it.”

The Tony Awards will air on June 9, 2019 at 8:00 PM on CBS!

Jenelle Evans & David Eason Lose Custody of Their 3 Kids ... At Least For Now

Disney’s ‘Even Stevens’ sweetheart, Christy Carlson Romano, has admitted that like many child stars, she has battled depression & dealt with it by binge drinking & other vices.

Disney star Christy Carlson Romano grew up in the spotlight, and for the first time, has revealed the toll that took on her. The 35-year-old actress who was just 14-years-old when she appeared on the comedy series Even Stevens, has now said that her real like persona is miles from the perfectionist she played on the show. “I have never been perfect or pulled together as my reputation or the success of my young adulthood might suggest,” she wrote in a tell-all essay for Teen Vogue. “During a period of time in my life, I grappled with depression, drinking, and more, desperate to find fixes for how I felt.”

She went on to detail the struggles that plagued her life after she left Even Stevens, and tried to make it on Broadway. “I became a bit harder-edged, binge-drank more at loud nightclubs, and started to accept the transient natures of love, sex, and friendship,” the star wrote. “Growing up, I entertained thousands of families only to feel completely lonely. People were as replaceable as they had deemed me to be. Imposter syndrome had stiff competition against my self-hatred at that point,” she said in the honest essay.

Christy even admitted that her spiral took a dangerous turn when she turned to self harm as a coping mechanism. “I began to flirt with other methods of self-destruction,” she shared in her essay. “I tried to scratch my skin with my fingernail because I was too scared to use a knife. I chickened out and honestly felt like I had failed some important race to win the trophy for ‘most tragic, beautiful girl.'”

However, the former Disney star is happier and healthier than ever these days, and says that motherhood, as well as going back to school, helped her find her balance. “I struggled with all of my relationships, alcohol usage, and career path for 10 years before going back to school and re-centering myself,” she admitted. “I haven’t had a drink since before my first pregnancy and am going to continue to abstain from alcohol so that I can continue to make clear-headed decisions that keep me on the right path.” Christy and her husband, Brendan Rooney, wed in December 2013 and have two beautiful daughters Isabella, 2, and Sophia, 3 mos.

Madison Beer Stops BottleRock Concert After Shooter Scare from Crowd

Is there anything more precious than a laughing baby? Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union were in absolute delight at their daughter Kaavia’s giggling fit that was caught on video.

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade struggled for so long to have baby Kaavia James that they’re relishing in every moment of their baby daughter’s life. In a sweet Instagram video on May 24, Gabrielle got everyone’s weekend started in the most joyful way by sharing her six-month-old having the most adorable giggling fit. Daddy Dwyane is seen holding Kaavia and is absolutely beaming as his daughter shows her happiness with tons of laughter. Someone just off camera is heard making funny sounds which the infant couldn’t get enough of.

“Baby Laughter To Bless The Weekend. Pure Bliss ,” Gabrielle, 46, captioned the photo. Kaavia was born via surrogate on Nov. 7, 2018 after the couple had tried for years to conceive. She revealed to fans in her 2017 book We’re Going to Need More Wine that she suffered “8 or 9 miscarriages” and failed IVF treatments as she and Dwyane desperately tried a child of their own.

Fans of the couple couldn’t get enough of the pure happiness that was seen in the video. “My favorite thing in the world!!! Baby laughter!” one person gushed while another wrote “Nothing sweeter than a child’s laughter!” Others noticed how Kaavia’s resembling her dad as she grows, as one fan observed “She is her daddy’s twin 😍😍😍😍 she is gonna be a lucky girl!!!”
while another added “She looks more like him than he does.😂😂😂😍😍😍.”

Dwyane now has more time on his hands to dote on his baby girl. The 37-year-old retired from the NBA on April 9 after a storied 15 year career in the league. The family is now heading out on a well deserved vacation, as in her next photo Gabrielle was seen eating and announced they were embarking on the #wadeworldtour2019 so we can’t wait to see where their summer travels take them.

Dennis Rodman Denies Slap Attack

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk got the Memorial Day weekend started with a fun family day. They took precious daughter Lea, 2, to the park and then out for ice cream.

What’s better on a sunny L.A. Saturday than a nice lazy day with the family. Especially as Memorial weekend gets underway. Bradley Cooper, 44, showed what a doting dad he is to his adorable two-year-old daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, holding her tightly in his arms after a trip to get some ice cream. Mama Irina Shayk, 33, was right there with them as they had spent some time in a local Brentwood park playing with their little one before getting her a sweet treat.

Bradley was dressed down in a baseball cap, grey t-shirt, blue jeans and flip flops. Yes, Memorial Day weekend is the kickoff to summer so flips are perfectly acceptable this time of year, even though they’re worn year round in SoCal due to the nice weather. Irina looked equally casual in a black long sleeve shirt, grey skinny jeans, lace up boots and a black baseball cap. The pair looked just like any other parents on a day out with their child that it would be easy to miss that she’s one of the most beautiful models in the world and he’s an award-winning movie star.

Since Bradley skipped the Met Gala on May 6, leaving Irina to attend solo, these are the first pics we’ve seen of the lovebirds ever since their romantic April 18 date night dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, CA. As we previously told you EXCLUSIVELY, Bradley’s making time to focus on Irina and their daughter since he was so tied up in the 2018-2019 awards season. “Bradley’s busy working on a number of projects but nothing’s at full tilt right now so he’s able to give Irina a lot of his attention. He’s so grateful for all her support during awards season so now that he’s got more free time he’s showing her lots of appreciation,” a friend of Irina’s told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

“They’re enjoying good quality family time and Bradley’s making romance a priority too. Giorgrio Baldi is one of the most romantic restaurants, he was definitely aiming to score points by taking her there. But as much as Irina loves it when Bradley spoils her, more than anything she prefers staying home with him and cooking dinner and just enjoying simple family time. She’s shockingly down to earth and not at all high maintenance. That’s one of the reasons their love affair works, they’re both able to be totally real with each other,” the insider added.

Mario Batali Pleads Not Guilty in Boston To Alleged Groping, Kissing

A new Backstreet baby is on the way! Nick Carter revealed on May 24 that his wife, Lauren Kitt, is pregnant with the pair’s second child — and she already looks pretty far along!

Congratulations are in order for Nick Carter and his wife of five years, Lauren Kitt! The Backstreet Boys singer posted a family photo of the pair with their son on Instagram May 24, and in the pic, Lauren has a huge baby bump. “Thank you God for giving us the greatest gift we could ever ask for,” Nick captioned the photo. “#pregnant #werepregnant #babykisses #happiness #family.” The adorable photo features Nick and Lauren’s first child, Odin, kissing her baby bump. Awww!

In the photo’s caption, Nick also used a rainbow emoji, to signify that this is a ‘rainbow baby’ for himself and Lauren. A ‘rainbow baby’ is a term used for a baby born after the loss of a child due to miscarriage. Back in Sept. 2018, Nick revealed that Lauren had miscarried a baby girl after three months. “God give us peace during this time,” he wrote. “I really was looking forward to meeting her after 3 months. I’m heartbroken.”

Nick and Lauren announced they were expecting their first child in 2015 while he was competing on Dancing With the Stars. However, at the time, they admitted that it had been a “year-long journey” just to get pregnant. Before Odin was born, Lauren suffered another miscarriage, as well. “It’s been rocky, to be honest with you,” Nick admitted. “There have been times when we thought it wouldn’t happen.”

Nick proposed to Lauren in 2013, after five years together. They got married in April 2014, and Odin was born two years later in April 2016. The due date for Nick and Lauren’s new baby has not been confirmed, but Lauren definitely looks to be pretty far along in the announcement pic!

Kellen Winslow Jr. Second Rape Accuser ... He Threatened to Murder Me Too

The UK’s controversial prime minister, Theresa May, has announced that she will be resigning amidst the ongoing Brexit drama. Learn more about the PM, and the fraught situation she’s leaving behind.

Three years after becoming UK prime minister, Theresa May announced on May 24 that she would be resigning, effective June 7. Her surprise resignation comes just a day after a powerful ally, Andrea Leadsom, resigned, and after months of parliament members criticizing her approach to striking a Brexit deal with the European Union. Learn more about May, the second PM in UK history, her Brexit situation, and her controversial legacy:

1. She’s leaving because of her failure to negotiate an effective Brexit deal. May, 62, announced in a press conference outside 10 Downing Street, that “I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold. “[I was] the second female prime minister, but certainly not the last… I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.” You can watch May’s full, six-minute address below.

In her statement, May expressed her “deep regret” that after “doing her best” to enact Brexit, she was unable to do so. She said that she had “done everything I can” to convince MPs (members of Parliament) to support the withdrawal deal that she negotiated with the European Union, but she has now realized after backlash that it’s in the “best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort”.

An explainer on Brexit: The “British Exit” was proposed in June 2016, when David Cameron was still prime minister. The Conservative party, which is currently leading the government, is seeking to separate the UK from the other 27 countries of the European Union. The party leaders believe separating from the EU would mean an economic boom after no longer following the union’s trade laws. It would also solve Britain’s refugee “problem,” as they could set their own laws about who’s let into the country. Brexit was due to happen in March 2019, but May’s unliked deal has delayed that indefinitely.

2. She was under constant pressure from parliament to resign over her proposed Brexit deal. Andrea Leadsom quit as Commons leader on May 23, saying she didn’t believe the UK government’s “approach would deliver on the referendum result.” Hours before May resigned the next day, she met with Home Secretary Sajid Javid and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt; Javid and Hunt reportedly “expressed their concern” about her proposed bill, per BBC. May had planned to publish her Withdrawal Agreement Bill on May 25 ahead of a vote, but decided to rewrite it instead.

“I have always maintained that a second referendum would be dangerously divisive, and I do not support the Government willingly facilitating such a concession,” Leadsom, who passionately campaigned for leaving the EU, wrote in her resignation letter. A spokesman for May told Business Insider that the prime minister was  “listening to the concerns of colleagues” over the bill and “would have further discussions today.” That discussion was apparently her decision to resign.

3. She will be staying on as Caretaker Prime Minister until a new one is found. May is officially stepping down as prime minister and leader of the Conservative Party, but she will not leave the seat vacant. The process of finding a new leader will likely take several weeks, per the Conservative Party — likely by June 10. Any Conservative lawmaker may run. The winner would then become prime minister without a general election.

4. The frontrunner to replace May is thought to be Boris Johnson. MPs Johnson, Esther McVey and Rory Stewart have all expressed that they intend to run for party leadership; more than a dozen other MPs are reportedly “seriously considering” running, according to BBC. Johnson, the former foreign secretary who has been an MP since 2015 is thought to have the best shot of becoming the next PM. Johnson, who ran against May in 2016, lobbied against Brexit at first, but ultimately decided to back it. Johnson isn’t without controversy; he quit as foreign secretary in 2018, blaming May’s Brexit plans, and immediately wrote an op-ed for Telegraph saying that women who wear burqas look like “letter boxes.” Still an MP, Johnson said if a constituent wearing a hijab wanted to speak with him, she would be required to remove it.

5. Prior to becoming prime minister, May held government positions for nearly 20 years. May assumed office as a member of Parliament for Maidenhead in 1997, elected as the Conservative MP in the general election. She then served as the Shadow Secretary for several causes within Parliament, such as State for Education and State for Transport. David Cameron, who resigned as UK prime minister in 2016, appointed May as Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equality six years ago . She was the longest serving Home Secretary the UK had seen in over 60 years.

Meek Mill D.A. Wants Him to Get New Trial ... In Front of New Judge!!!

Bethenny Frankel took to Instagram on May 21 to share pics of the ‘RHONY’ cast during the filming of the reunion and fans pointed out their fabulous dresses while referencing a joke from one of the show’s episodes.

Bethenny Frankel, 48, happily shared some gorgeous pics of herself, Andy Cohen, 50, and her co-stars from Real Housewives of New York on May 21, which were taken during the filming of the show’s season 11 reunion, and fans were in awe of the ladies’ dresses! In one snapshot, which Andy also posted, Bethenny and Andy are posing outside of the studio they filmed in with Bethenny’s dogs, Biggy and Smallz, and in the others, Bethenny and her RHONY castmates, including Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Tinsley Mortimer, and Sonja Morgan are posing together inside during the filming. “Judgement day… aka #RHONYreunion episode! Made it through another season of #RHONY. #DogDayAfternoon 🐕🐶,” Bethenny captioned the photos.

Fans couldn’t help but use the opportunity to reply to Bethenny’s photos with funny comments that were in reference to an incident that happened during the show’s Aug. 15 episode. During the episode, Dorinda was seen heckling castmate Luann during her cabaret show by screaming out “Jovani!” in reference to Luann’s dress designer for the show. Dorinda, who is friends with the New York based designer, worked with him to help style Luann for her show for free as a favor and she heckled Luann during the performance because she was mad that her boyfriend wasn’t invited to the opening night of the show. It definitely became a memorable moment during the season and fans were all about bringing it back with responses to Bethenny’s latest reunion post.

“Looks like Lu and Dorinda are both wearing JOVANI • JOVANI • JOVANI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,” one fan replied to Bethenny’s pics. “Are Luann and Dorinda wearing the same Jovani dress?” another asked. “Dorinda better be in jovani,” a third response read. “JOVANI,” yet another read.

Although Bethenny didn’t reveal all the designers of the dresses in her reunion post, Dorinda told The Lookbook backstage at the reunion that she’s decided to stop wearing Jovani’s dresses. “I’ve decided to shy away from the $400 pageant dresses,” she told the site. “I called up my old friend Naeem Khan,” [and wore a] “strapless, old-world glamorous, sequined gold-red” [dress for the reunion]. “I think I’m gonna let Luann just fully take on the Jovani thing,” she concluded.

EXCLUSIVE

Fatboy SSE -- the comedic social media influencer co-starring with Master P in his "I Got the Hook Up" sequel -- hooked up with cops who busted him for marijuana and outstanding warrants.

According to cops in Jersey City, Fatboy was pulled over Monday night for a traffic violation. He was in the car with 2 other guys -- his manager and security guard -- and when cops ran his license, they discovered it was suspended. First mistake.

Second mistake? They found outstanding bench warrants ... which prompted a search of his car ... which is when cops say they found the weed.  

Cops arrested Fatboy -- government name Tyriq Kimbrough -- for 1 count of possession of weed and bail jumping for the 2 bench warrants. Adding insult to injury, cops also slapped him with tickets for failure to observe a signal and driving on the suspended license.

Fatboy -- who has more than 5.5 million Instagram followers -- remains in custody.

His management posted a message on his IG page about the arrest, saying ... "If you have not been able to reach him this is why."

Master P signed the comedic actor -- known for his hilarious IG skits -- for a role in "I Got the Hook Up 2" ... which comes out this summer. We're gonna recommend a limo, or at least Uber, for Fatboy's ride to the premiere.

The one and only Taylor Swift looked amazing in an all-pink ensemble as she hit the stage during ‘The Voice’ finale to perform her new hit, ‘ME!’, with Brendon Urie.

Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie just brought a WHOLE lot of fun and color to the May 21 finale of The Voice. The singers teamed up for a performance of their hot new hit, ‘ME!,’ and it was definitely a party! Taylor looked absolutely gorgeous in a long-sleeved pink dress, which featured a fringed hemline. She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail and wore pink lipstick and eyeshadow to really embrace the bubblegum look! Meanwhile, Brendon also wore a light pink outfit and a magenta blazer. So epic!

The bright colors fit right in with the fun, pastel aesthetic that Taylor has been pushing throughout her latest era of music. It all started in the weeks leading up to the release date of “ME!,’ when Taylor began wearing outfits and posting Instagram photos that fit the colorful theme. “ME!” came out on April 26, and fans have been waiting for more news about new music ever since. So far, Taylor has not confirmed the title or release date of her upcoming seventh album, although she did confirm that she finished it back in February.

Taylor and Brendon are just two of the many stars who will hit the stage during The Voice finale: BTS, Halsey, Jonas Brothers, One Republic and more are slated to perform. Plus, all four of the season 16 finalists will get to sing with celebrities during the two-hour event.

Of course, the biggest moment will come at the very end of the night when a winner is crowned. Blake Shelton has three artists — Gyth Rigdon, Andrew Sevener and Dexter Roberts — vying for the top spot, while John Legend has one — Maelyn Jarmon. Unfortunately, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine’s artists were all previously eliminated, but they have a front row seat to quite a fun show…with no pressure!

DaBaby Posse Thrashes a Fan ... DB Bailed For Fear of Safety

It’s been ten years since Adam Lambert competed on ‘American Idol,’ but he was back and better than ever with TWO epic performances during the season 17 finale.

Adam Lambert got his big break on American Idol in 2009, and ten years later, he returned to the stage for the season 17 finale. Since Adam just released his new song, “New Eyes,” last week, the Idol finale was the perfect place for him to promote it with an epic live performance. Adam showed off his signature quirky style for the performance, and he sounded amazing while belting out the track. The song just came out, but the fans are already obsessed and were singing along in the crowd! It wasn’t his only performance of the night, either — Adam was also joined by top 10 finalist, Dimitrius Graham, for a rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” during the show. Amazing!

This wasn’t Adam’s first appearance on season 17 of American Idol, either. Earlier this season, he served as a mentor for the top 8 contestants before they took the stage to perform songs by Queen. Adam has been performing as the frontman of Queen for years now, so he was the perfect person to offer advice to the aspiring singers. Three of the artists he mentored, Madison VanDenburg, Laine Hardy and Alejandro Aranda, are now competing to be named the winner of season 17.

Adam fell just short of winning the show when he was a contestant on season 8 in 2009. Although he lost to Kris Allen, though, Adam has gone onto have a successful solo career in the ten years since his time as a contestant in the singing competition.

American Idol has been picked up for another season at ABC, which is set to air in 2020. It has not been confirmed if judges, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, will be returning, but it’s pretty clear that Adam has an open invitation if he wants to come back and perform again next year!

NBA's Tyreke Evans Banned 2 Years Violating Anti-Drug Program

Katy Perry pulled double duty on the ‘American Idol’ finale — not only did she keep up her weekly role as a judge, but she also took the stage TWICE to perform!

The American Idol finale was jam-packed with performances, and even judge Katy Perry showed off her pipes to wow the crowd! Katy spent most of the show behind the judges table with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, where she looked incredible in a strapless black and white dress with a matching hat, with her hair pulled back into a slick low ponytail. However, she also hit the stage to sing. Her first performance of the night was with Daddy Yankee, with a collab on their song, “Con Calma.” She looked amazing in an orange fringe jumpsuit for the set, too! Oh, and her hair was styled with 76 wigs. Yes. 76! Later, Katy was joined by season 17 contestant, Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon, for a rendition of “Unconditionally” that was absolutely STUNNING.

After a night full of performances, the Idol finale concludes with the winner of season 17 being named. The three finalists competing for the top spot are Alejandro Aranda, Madison VanDenburg and Laine Hardy. Katy has been front and center throughout the contestants’ journeys this season, so she’s obviously extremely invested in how the show plays out based on America’s votes.

It was recently announced that American Idol has been picked up for another season by ABC — its third since being rebooted in 2018, and 18th overall. However, at this time, the judges for the 2020 season have not been confirmed, so it is unclear if Katy, Luke and Lionel will be returning.

Meanwhile, Katy has not released a full album since Witness in 2017, so her fans are hoping she’ll be working on some new tunes now that this season of Idol has come to an end. Of course, Katy also got engaged to Orlando Bloom earlier this year, so wedding planning is likely on the top of her to-do list, as well!

'Step Up Revolution' Director Pleads Not Guilty Arson, Domestic Violence

‘The Blacklist’ left fans with one heck of a cliffhanger. The show’s EPs spoke EXCLUSIVELY about that final scene, [SPOILER]’s return, and what it all means for season 7.

Katarina Rostova is alive and well. In the final seconds of The Blacklist season 6 finale, Red tracked her down, thanks to the help of a mysterious stranger, and came face-to-face with her. It didn’t take long for Katarina to show her motives. She stabbed him with a needle and had him taken away in a sketchy car. Katarina has never been seen in the present day. We’ve only seen her in flashbacks, played by Lotte Verbeek. Now Laila Robbins has stepped into the role.

HollywoodLife spoke with Blacklist bosses Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath about what those final moments mean for season 7. Katarina’s return will have a major impact on not just Red, but Liz as well. The EPs also discussed the mysterious stranger Red met up with and if we’ll see him again in the future. Check out our Q&A below.

Do you have an idea of where season 7 will pick up? Do you have the season mapped out at this point?
Jon Bokenkamp: I think the end of this season, as short as that last scene was, I think the promise of that scene is the introduction of this character, her relationship, Katarina’s relationship to Reddington, and just a suitcase full of questions. She’s obviously formidable. She has his trust in a way that catches Reddington on his heels. She’s dangerous. We know a lot about this character from previous episodes but we’ve never seen her in the present day and I think Laila Robbins did such a great job of embodying that mystery and that power. In terms of where we’re going, we have plenty to figure out but I think the promise to the audience is that we’re going to be able to sink our teeth into this woman and this character and her relationship to Reddington and to Elizabeth Keen, who by the way, has no idea that she’s alive or that Red has been taken. There are just so many questions that it presents. I think it gives us a really great push into next season, not only into Reddington and the sort of jeopardy that he’s in but into the core questions of the show, the canon of the show, the mythology and who these people are and how they’re related.

Will Laila be a series regular next season? Is that something that you have confirmed or want?
John Eisendrath: I don’t think we can really talk about her role other than I think it’s safe to say that Katarina, whether it’s the specter of Katarina or looking her in the eyes is the promise of season 7.

So we will see more of her…
John Eisendrath: I think it’s fair to say that we will see more of her.

Is it safe to say that Liz, Dembe, and the Task Force will go after Red in season 7?
John Eisendrath: One of the endurable things about each year is that either Red knows more than Liz or Liz knows more than Red. When season 6 began, Liz knew much more than Red. She knew he wasn’t really Reddington. He did not know that she was aware of that and she was way ahead of him, and at some point during the season, he caught up. The same will be true in season 7 in reverse. Red is way ahead of Liz for both good and bad. He’s way ahead of her and yet he’s tracked this woman, Katarina and he’s obviously been hurt by her, but Liz is totally unaware of it. So, yes, at some point, in some way, it will be a huge revelation to Liz that Red has done these things.

Another notable aspect from the finale was this mysterious stranger. Can fans expect him to pop up again?
John Eisendrath: I think what you’re seeing about this stranger character is just how close he is to Reddington, right? The idea that Reddington tasked him to finding Katarina, the language that they used, and the closeness. I think that is the big takeaway here is will we see him again? I think he’s part of the fabric of the show. He’s part of the DNA of the show. I think it’s too soon to say what we’ll see yet, but I do believe that him as a character, the stranger is central to the mythology of the show.

Agnes came back into the picture in this final episode. Are we going to see more or her? Is that something that you would want to see more of between Agnes and Liz in season 7?
John Eisendrath: What I would say is that there’s a compelling parallel storyline. Here was Katarina who, in moments of crisis, had to make the decision to give up her daughter. Then earlier on in the storytelling on our show, Liz had to make the same decision about her own daughter. Like mother, like daughter. Here we have a situation where Liz has decided because she believes her mother is no longer a threat to her to bring her daughter back. Then the first thing you see about her mother is that she drugs Raymond Reddington. So did Liz make the right choice? Is this going to be something that is going to come back to haunt her and that she will regret will definitely be questions that once Liz discovers what the audience knows happened at the end of the year, she will have to wrestle with.

NBA YoungBoy Back Behind Bars ... For Probation Violation After Miami Shooting

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s little blessing, Psalm West, is here, and fans are deeply divided on his name.

Kim Kardashian revealed the highly-anticipated name of her newborn son, and the reactions are… mixed, to be honest. Psalm West is here, and fans aren’t sure if they’re digging the uniquely religious name she and Kanye West have given their fourth kid. Of course, they had to up the ante after naming their other kids North, Saint, and Chicago, but Psalm is still a bold choice even compared to his siblings! A lot of fans are convinced that Kanye just straight up wanted to name the kid “God” (or Yeezus), but Kim put the kibosh on it, so they had to settle for something slightly less religious.

As some clever folks pointed out, the Kardashian sisters’ love using the word “bible” when they say they’re telling the truth. Psalm is a biblical hymn — totally works! Many jumped on that good bible humor while discussing the new baby’s name. “Psalm West. At least they didn’t name the baby Deuteronomy. 🤷🏽‍♀️ ,” one fan tweeted. “When Psalm West turns 23 he’s going to walk through the valley of the shadow and fear no evil,” another one quipped. (psst, this is Psalm 23 ). One fan suggested that it would be cooler if they named him after another biblical passage: Exodus. Okay, Exodus West does seem pretty badass. A mean comment, but a good point — even if Psalm and his siblings’ names are unconventional, “Luckily they are going to grow up rich.”

Other fans are obsessed with the little one’s name. After all, what else would you expect with a couple as extra as Kim and Kanye? “Psalm west is cute tbh,” an admirer tweeted. “Unique. All of their kids names are unique and ik y’all have never met someone named North, Chicago, Saint or Psalm. Meanwhile everybody is recycling the same 10 first and middle names.” Good point! “Psalm West sound cool as f**k not gonna lie,” wrote another. Kim’s Instagram announcement was full of supportive comments, too. “Wowww that is sooo pretty !! Purpose names!! I love it!! ♥️♥️🙌🏾 ” one of her followers commented, with another writing, “Stop haters just appreciate the beautiful picture and welcome to this crazy world bébé West.” Amen!

Should Kim and Kanye have a fifth kid somewhere down the line (hey, Kanye’s on record saying he wants seven!), we see a naming pattern. Daughters are locations, sons are religious. What will be next? Oh, and by the way, if you’re just as confused as everyone else: THIS is how you pronounce Psalm.

Breaking News

Kareem Hunt says he has NOT directly apologized to the victim in the 2018 hotel hallway attack -- but he wants to. 

"I have not, but if I was to see her, I would apologize to her face," the Cleveland Browns running back told the media Wednesday.

"But, I have not had the chance to do that. I don't know any ways of contacting her. I have not."

Hunt was asked a bunch of questions about the incident -- and how he's been trying to improve as a person since TMZ Sports published the video of the attack. 

Hunt says he's been going to counseling and has leaned into religion -- he's being baptized this Sunday and looks forward to the feeling of "being reborn."

The 23-year-old says he understands he's on thin ice with the Browns and feels grateful for his 2nd chance ... and vows to make the most of the opportunity. 

Hunt insists he's grown as a person and has learned how to deal with his anger in a better way -- and will NOT make the same mistakes that got him in trouble in the first place. 

Before Hunt took the podium, his QB, Baker Mayfield, went to bat for his new teammate -- saying he thinks Hunt is a "great kid" and when it comes to his violent past, the QB says, "Mistakes happen."

Hunt had just made his first appearance at the Cleveland Browns practice facility Wednesday -- taking part in voluntary team workouts -- and Baker, along with head coach Freddie Kitchens, were singing his praises. 

"Just being around him, I think he's a great kid," Baker said ... "Ya know, mistakes happen. I can speak from personal experience."

Baker is clearly referring to his own Feb. 2017 incident when he tried running from police and got rocked by a cop who hit him with a perfect form tackle. 

As for Kareem, TMZ Sports broke the story ... the former Kansas City Chiefs star was captured on video shoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman during an altercation at a Cleveland hotel back in February 2018. 

Hunt was also accused of being involved in at least 2 other violent incidents -- including an assault on a man at an Ohio resort in June 2018 and another incident at a nightclub in January 2018. 

The Chiefs cut Hunt in November 2018 -- hours after we published the hotel video -- and he was picked up by the Browns a few months later. 

The NFL punished Hunt with an 8-game suspension, which he'll serve in the 2019 season. 

But, Hunt has clearly been making a good impression on his new teammates and coaches.

Mayfield said he spoke with Kareem's old Chiefs' teammates -- including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who vouched for the running back.

"They speak very highly of him," Mayfield said ... "So, I think that's really important, and it's been pretty important for him to be here too."

Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens was also high on Hunt on Wednesday ... saying he believes Kareem is doing the best he can to become a better person off the field.

"I love Kareem," Kitchens says. "What I really love more than anything about Kareem is he's handling his business off the field."

"He's continuing to try to be the person he wants to be and that everybody here wants him to be and we're going to continue to support him in every way possible to do that."

"Kareem's out in the community now every week. He's either involved in the community or he's actually doing some hosting events in the community trying to reach out to kids who could be heading down the same path."

Chris Brown’s rumored love Ammika Harris took to Instagram on May 15 to celebrate her 26th birthday and fans seemed to think her caption hinted about a pregnancy.

Ammika Harris, who is rumored to be dating Chris Brown, 30, shared a special pic and message in honor of her 26th birthday on May 15, and it caused some major speculation that she could be expecting a child! The gorgeous Instagram model posted a snapshot that showed her posing with a 2 and 6 balloon while wearing a sexy silky white slip dress and in the caption, she talked about how excited she was about her new age.

“GETTING OLDER AND WISER EVERY YEAR. IM SO BLESSED WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT I COULD EVER ASKED FOR❤️❤️HELLO 26!!” the caption read. It didn’t take long for fans to speculate that her “beautiful gift” could be a baby. “you pregnant??” one fan asked. “Happy birthday. 💕🎈 are you pregnant? Your glowing EXTRA lol 👀👀👀,” another wrote. “I think being pregnant is the most beautiful gift she’s referring to,” another comment read.

As if that wasn’t enough to get fans hyped up, the same day that Ammika shared her birthday pic Chris reposted the pic along with a very telling caption.  Chris wrote:  “BIG BIG BIG HAPPY BDAY TO THIS LOVELY WOMAN! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ HAVE FUN MOMMA”. Naturally, calling his rumored girlfriend ‘Momma” sent fans into a frenzy with many congratulating him like it was a done deal.

The speculation about Ammika and Chris possible having a baby together isn’t new. The same kind of comments came up when fans thought Chris was calling her a “baby mama” after responding to one of her pics with the comment, “BM BAD”. Since Chris and Ammika have been private about their relationship, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they decided to keep a pregnancy on the down low as much as possible. We guess only time will tell with this one!

If Ammika is indeed expecting a baby, it would be the second child for Chris, who already has four-year-old daughter Royalty.

Boxer Kubrat Pulev Must Complete Sexual Harassment Course ... For Kissing Reporter

Ben Zobrist, a Chicago Cubs baseball star, has called it quits with his wife after nearly 14 years of marriage. Here’s everything you need to know about the MLB star that’s been making headlines amid his divorce.

Ben Zobrist, 37, a professional baseball player for the Chicago Cubs, is headed for divorce with his Christian pop singer wife, Julianna Zobrist. It was Julianna is who listed as the plaintiff, and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the divorce which she filed on May 13. The news of a divorce arrived after Ben requested a full week off from his MLB career for “personal” reasons. However,  Ben has since accused his wife of “inappropriate marital conduct” in a complaint for legal separation filed in Tennessee this week. Here’s everything to know about Ben in the midst of the couple’s surprising split.

1. He’s an Illinois native.

Ben was born in Eureka, Illinois and grew up loving the game of baseball. Young Ben probably never expected that he would grow up and not only help the Chicago Cubs win the World Series but also be named MVP.

2. Ben was a bit of a poet in high school.

Twenty years before he became the first Cubs player to become a World Series MVP, he wrote a poem in Eureka High School about the emotion of winning the big game, according to the St. Louis Dispatch. 

“The ball is going farther than ever / Much to my surprise! / The ball lands way beyond the fence. / I round the bases without shame. / The fans, they cheer and shout and scream! / For our team has won the game!” That may not be as accurate as the Parks & Rec episode that predicted the World Series win, but it’s close enough.

3. He’s a World Series champ. 

In 2008, after college, the Houston Astros drafted him before trading Ben to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He would go to the World Series in his rookie year, but the Rays fell to the Philadelphia Phillies. He stayed in Florida until 2015, when he was traded to the Oakland Athletics. In the middle of the 2015 season, the A’s traded Ben to the Kansas City Royals. That was probably the best move of his career, as Kansas City would go on to win the World Series! In 2016, he led the Cubs to victory at the World Series.

4. Ben and his wife began their relationship over Instant Messenger

Ben’s wife is a successful Christian music singer. Back before people were sliding into DM, these two began dating during the early 2000’s, striking up a romance online over IM, according to Heavy.com. After years of dating, they were married in 2005. They have three kids: son Zion Benjamin and daughters Kruse Allegra and Blaise Royal.

5. He is a published author.

Ben and Julianna wrote Double Play: Faith and Family First in 2014, detailing to Ben’s anxiety with baseball to Juliana’s personal struggles with being sexually molested as a young girl. The book was meant to show how being open with a partner can help build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship. It seems to have worked, as Julianna was there to celebrate the biggest night in Ben’s professional career.
