‘Flip It Like Disick’ contractor Miki Mor EXCLUSIVELY opened up to HL about how Scott Disick is around his three children and why he’s an ‘amazing’ dad.

Scott Disick, 36, has left a lasting impression on contractor Miki Mor who works on his home remodeling reality series Flip It Like Disick. The professional EXCLUSIVELY talked to HollywoodLife about his experience in working with the father-of-three and also commented on his major parental skills! “Scott is such an amazing guy,” Miki explained in our interview. “The way I see him as a dad, he’s amazing. Amazing, amazing, amazing dad. Amazing.”

In addition to Scott, Miki, who has also met and gotten familiar with Scott and Kourtney Kardashian‘s kids, Mason, 9, Penelope, 7, and Reign, 4, praised the three cuties and their time with their doting dad. “They come around and everybody loves it, we all love them so much,” he gushed. “Scott is such a good dad, he’s very protective of his kids. And he’s like, I’m not a dad, but he’s the best dad I ever seen.”

“He always thinks about what will make his kids happy, what he can create for them,” Miki, who has had his own construction company in Los Angeles, CA for many years, continued, referring to the playhouse Scott had made for his children. “Even in his house he’s got all the things in his house for his kids. You know, it’s like, whatever will be good for his kids. His kids come first.  Everything.”

Miki went on to say that despite his ups and downs with Scott, who he’s known for almost nine years, on the show, he considers him a wonderful guy and a great friend. “He makes everybody laugh all the time, and his vibe, the vibe that he has surrounding him is so good. You just want to be around him 24/7,” he said. “He’s positive, he’s honest, he’s a very, very honest guy. And, you know, in his head he always thinks through. He doesn’t, he never goes backward, he always goes forward. You know, he doesn’t complain about the past, he always moving forward.”

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin gave us a rare look at their love when they dressed up and attended the Place for Peace gala as a couple in New York City on Sept. 27.

Dakota Johnson, 29, and boyfriend Chris Martin, , stepped out looking amazing on a special date night on Sept. 27! The long-term couple attended the Place for Peace gala, which was hosted by Forest Whitaker‘s Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative, in New York City and it was definitely a rare sighting since the lovebirds are very private about their relationship. The eventful night featured a fancy dinner and fundraising action so they made sure to dress to impress.

Dakota could be seen looking gorgeous in a multi-colored patterned dress under a black blazer that was draped over her shoulders while Chris looked handsome in a white button-down shirt and black tie. They smiled and posed for an eye-catching photo while sitting at a table together inside the gala and at one point, Dakota even rested her hand on Chris’ upper leg during the snapshots.

The gala just happened to fall on Chris’ ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow‘s 47th birthday. The Coldplay frontman shares daughter Apple, 15, and son Moses, 13, with her and although they separated in 2016, they have been known to keep a friendly relationship while raising their kids. Dakota has also proven to get along with the teens as she was seen riding on a helicopter with Moses in New York on Aug. 8.

Dakota and Chris’ recent outing comes after they reportedly broke up in May 2019. Although they neither confirmed or denied any split, by Aug., they were spotted getting cozy on a beach in the Hamptons and definitely back on as a couple. Although they’ve been very private about their romance, their latest charity appearance seems to indicate they’re willing to be a bit more open about their love now that they’ve reconciled and are better than ever!

The ‘door isn’t shut’ for Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter, but Miley no longer wants to ‘avoid’ something from her ended marriage with Liam Hemsworth.

Unlike the reports that succeeded Miley Cyrus’ split with Liam Hemsworth, 29, there’s no drama behind the pop star’s rumored split with Kaitlynn Carter, 31. Miley is just finally ready to be single, following back-to-back romances. “Miley and Kaitlynn are still all good, there is no tension and no big drama. It was just a case of Miley realizing she needed to pump the breaks because she was jumping right from her marriage right into another relationship,” a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. A report of Miley’s split with Kaitlynn surfaced on Sept. 21, six weeks after they were first seen kissing and cuddling in Lake Como, Italy. Those photos were taken just one day before Miley and Liam announced the end to their eight-month marriage (and an on-again, off-again relationship that spanned 10 years) on Aug. 10 — Liam went on to file for divorce on Aug. 21.

There was no waiting period between Miley’s romances with Liam and Kaitlynn — she just got “caught” in the moment. “She has such an intense connection to Kaitlynn and they’re such good friends, so once they got together things started moving so fast and she got very caught up,” our source continues. “It was like an instant relationship which was really fun and comforting, but also kind of a crutch because Miley has a lot of emotions to process about her marriage ending and she just can’t do that if she just jumps straight into another relationship.” Miley wants to step outside of her comfort zone now, alone.

“Being with Kaitlynn is an easy way for her to avoid the hard feelings and Miley doesn’t want to do that anymore,” our insider further tells HollywoodLife. “So as great as things are with Kaitlynn, she knows the healthy thing to do is to take time to focus on her own healing.” The brief romance was so great, our insider doesn’t rule out the possibility of a reunion: “The door isn’t shut with them, but right now Miley is committed to being single and doing the work on herself. “

As for why Miley still decided to jump into another romance ASAP, a second source explains that the singer has had a lot to deal with. “Miley is a very unique person and goes by the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t like separation. Her parents went through episodes themselves,” the second insider tells HollywoodLife, referring to Billy Ray and Trish Cyrus’ divorce case that was dismissed in 2017.

There is also Miley’s former home with Liam that they lost to the Woolsey Fire in Nov. 2018, which still continues to haunt her. In fact, she credited this loss as what pushed her and Liam to tie the knot in Dec. 2018, which she revealed in her March 2019 cover story for Vanity Fair. “It’s all been a pretty emotional time losing her home in the fires, losing her marriage. She is still trying to deal with it all. And now she is taking the steps to do that, to slow down a little bit and reflect and make sure she comes first, that her emotions are met,” our second source tells HollywoodLife. So, the choice to be single is personal, and not reflective of how Miley feels about Kaitlynn. “Kaitlynn is very special to Miley, they are good. No ill will at all between the two and they might try something again in the future but for now Miley needs to do her own thing,” the source adds. “That will be best for everyone.”

The ‘RHOA’ family is growing by one. Kandi Burruss is reportedly expecting her third child via surrogate, and it will be a big part of the new season’s storylines.

Baby joy is on the way for Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss. The 43-year-old and husband Todd Tucker are  expecting a little boy or girl via surrogate, sources tell PEOPLE magazine. This will be the second biological child for the couple, who will join three-year-old big brother Ace. Kandi has a beautiful 16-year-old daughter Riley Burruss by ex Russell Spencer while Todd has a 22-year-old adult daughter Kaela. This is wonderful news for Kandi, who was looking into potential surrogates during season 11 of RHOA.

While Todd wasn’t completely on board with having another baby via surrogate, Kandi was bound and determined to be a mom again. She had a high risk pregnancy with Ace so it was the safest way to go to expand their family, though it left her with mixed feelings. It turned out that pal Andy Cohen — who though a surrogate had his son Benjamin in February — gave her some advice that left her feeling better about having someone else carry her child.

Kandi revealed in a February episode of the now canceled E! late night talk show Busy Tonight that, “I had made a comment. I said something like, ‘I guess I’m gonna have a baby mama.’ And he said to me, ‘Don’t you ever say that because you are the mother. And to say she’s your baby’s mom is taking away from you.’ It made me feel better.”

The following month when Kandi appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a caller and RHOA viewer asked how the process was going and if we were going to see a baby added to their family anytime soon. “I don’t want to tell too much. But we have moved forward, God willing,” she said to a round of audience applause. The surrogate and their baby journey will reportedly be a prominent storyline for Kandi during the upcoming season 12 of RHOA.

Congratulations to Cassie and Alex Fine! The expectant couple tied the knot on Sept. 25, one month after getting engaged.

How exciting is this? “Me & U” singer Cassie Ventura, 33, and fiancé Alex Fine, 26, were married in a ceremony overlooking the ocean in Malibu on Sept. 25. The couple only got engaged on August 24, making this pretty much the shortest engagement ever. Fans knew something was up when it was revealed that the couple allegedly picked up their marriage license in California the day after their engagement. In California, the couple has 90 days to tie the knot before the marriage license expires.

Cassie wore a gorgeous white off the shoulder dress with large puffy sleeves. Her pregnant belly could be seen through the dress and she wore a lace veil over her head with her hair long and loose. The officiant was film director Peter Berg, who posted a photo of the ceremony to his Instagram you can see here with the caption: “By the power vested in me…long may you ride!”

Of course, Cassie and Alex have never been about taking things slow. The “Long Way 2 Go” singer started dating the celebrity trainer in December 2018, just two months after she split with her longtime boyfriend, Diddy. She posted a photo of herself and Alex kissing to Instagram on December 29, shortly after her ex-boyfriend professed his love for her on the same platform. Cassie and Alex announced on June 12, 2019, that they were expecting a baby together. The overjoyed parents-to-be announced the happy news on — where else? — Instagram, with Cassie writing, ““Can’t wait to meet our baby girl 💗 Love You Always & Forever.” So sweet!

Two months later, on August 24, Alex popped the question with an elaborate, cowboy-themed proposal in the desert. Alex literally rode up to Cassie on horseback, jumped down, and gave Cassie a diamond ring. It’s no surprise that their wedding was so romantic!

Congratulations again to the happy couple! And long may they and their baby girl ride!

A flash-forward in the ‘Empire’ season 6 premiere featured a Lyon family member bleeding out after getting shot. Showrunner Brett Mahoney reveals when we’ll get an answer to THAT question and more in the final season.

Kingsley was in the coffin last season, but it might just be Lucious Lyon this season. In a flash-forward during the Empire season 6 premiere, someone walked right up to Lucious and shot him multiple times. Lucious hit the ground and began bleeding out. Is Lucious Lyon dead? Has the leader of the pack fallen? There are so many questions to answer in the final season.

HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with showrunner Brett Mahoney about Lucious Lyon’s fate and when it will be revealed. He teased that fan-favorite characters from seasons past will be popping up as the show explores who shot Lucious. Brett also discussed the new woman in Lucious’s life in the present day, Cookie’s journey this season, Andre’s “survivor’s guilt,” and more.

In terms of that flash-forward, will we see more of that moment similar to last season? 
Brett Mahoney: Correct. What will be different is that I think they’re going to be a couple of shocking twists and turns that are going to drop audiences’ jaws, and then we are going to find out who is holding that gun and shooting Lucious somewhere around the midseason.

So this won’t be like a series finale-type thing? We’ll definitely get answers before then?
Brett Mahoney: You’re going to truly be shocked and have to stick around to understand exactly what happened.

Will we find out whether or not Lucious is alive or dead? Will we get an answer? 
Brett Mahoney: He looks pretty dead. There’ll be answers throughout [the season].

I don’t know how you can survive that, but you never know.
Brett Mahoney: You never know. You never know.

In the present day, Lucious has a new woman in his life. How big of a presence is she going to be?
Brett Mahoney: I think the Yana character is different from other women that Lucious has been involved with and because she doesn’t have the history that Cookie has with Lucious, she’s able to see him a little more objectively. She sees, of course, the bad in Lucious to the extent that he shares it with her because Lucious has actually not shared everything with Yana. But she can also see the good in him that other people around him don’t see and that’s sort of the reason why he’s drawn to her.

I feel like he’s not bogged down with all of this baggage when he’s around her, even if he hasn’t revealed everything. It’s refreshing to see him in a different relationship without all of those elements involved.
Brett Mahoney: I think that’s exactly right! And the thing is, Yana represents this breath of fresh air. She’s sort of like this alternative life for Lucious. She’s like, listen, that crown that you’re wearing at Empire is heavy. All those bad relationships are toxic. She’s just like, run away with me and be free. And to his surprise, it’s a little enticing to Lucious. He got involved with Yana just to manipulate her and get the information that he needed to get from her father. But what he didn’t expect is to actually have real feelings for her.

In terms of Cookie, could she possibly get a new love interest this final season or is she focusing on herself?
Brett Mahoney: She might but she is primarily focusing on herself. Like who is she absent Empire? Absent Lucious? I don’t think she wants to get a man all tied up into that at this point. Who is Loretha? Even before she became Cookie and before any men were influencing her and tying her down or complicating her life. Now, of course, as soon as you say you don’t want any man in your life and you’re just focusing on yourself a man often pops up.

At the end of the episode, there was that really incredible scene between Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard where he says, “I’m over you.” She’s like, “You can never be over me.” Are we really going to get that tense push-pull with them this season?
Brett Mahoney: Absolutely! I think we’re sort of going back to the first season push-pull but with all the knowledge and the history that they have. They’ve got to decide — is their love enough to keep them together or is it toxic and should they go their separate ways? But regardless of whether they choose to stay together or not be together, they do know and realize they love each other.

Tracy shows back up at Empire and she’s ready to stir up more drama. What can you say about her arc and her interesting dynamic with Andre?
Brett Mahoney: Andre clearly has Kingsley’s heart beating in his chest and Andre is suffering a little survivor’s guilt. Kingsley had to die for him to live. So I think that’s complicated for him and then having to see Tracy at the business is also complicating things. Also, if Lucious were to come back, that’s also a complication for Lucious.

In terms of Hakeem, will we really be diving deep into him playing his father in the Empire movie?
Brett Mahoney: The thing is, now that Jamal has decided to leave the Lyons because he’s off in London living his life and trying to stay away from the family toxicity, both Hakeem, Tiana, all the other performers have got to step up and try and fill that vacuum. So there’s that. And then for Hakeem, his journey is now that he’s playing his father, what kinds of lessons will he learn from that in terms of learning about who his father is, who Cookie really is. It sort of helps him re-evaluate himself as a man.

With this being the final season, there have been so many incredible guest stars over the years. Do you have plans to bring back a lot of them as a final toast to the series?
Brett Mahoney: Well in a way, that’s sort of what the “who shot Lucious Lyon” piece is in terms of the premiere. So this is going to be an opportunity to see some who might be the person who’s holding that gun. So you’ll see the flash-forward segments in terms of the shooting with Lucious, but then we might cut to, for instance, Billy Baretti and see where he is right now and speculate as to whether he might be holding the gun.

Do you know how the show is going to end?
Brett Mahoney: Yes, it’s really fun!

So when you started this season you knew the trajectory and how it was going to come to a close?
Brett Mahoney: Well, we had to work it out. So when we found out it was the final season, because I always have ideas in terms of where we left off last season and what we would do in the next season, but then when we learned that this would be the final season it just allowed us to just amp everything up and we went back to the pilot and we went back to the first season and we said, what are the best ways to end these characters? What are the best ways to really honor their character journeys? So that’s how we figured out where we should move forward with all of them.

There was a moment between Cookie and Becky in the premiere where they’re talking about Jamal and how they miss him. Even though he’s not on the show, will Jamal still be a major presence?
Brett Mahoney: I think he’s certainly a presence because he’s a member of the family, but it’s just like in any other family, when someone moves away you hear about them. But also, he’s speaking to what all of them are facing this season because the Jamal character has always been the one, particularly last season, who has said Empire is bad. It is evil. It is toxic. We should leave it behind. And that’s what he’s done. That’s also a question that will be facing all the characters.

Lyrica Anderson packed her bags and moved out of the house she shared with A1, during the Sept. 23 episode of ‘L&HH: Hollywood’ after she learned he cheated on her AGAIN.

When this week’s episode of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood began, Lyrica Anderson still wasn’t sure whether or not she was going to move out of the house she was sharing with A1, but as soon as she learned he had possibly cheated on her again, her bags were packed faster than a speeding bullet. Lyrica explained, “Last night, right after I left my mom’s release party, I noticed something funny in my DMs. I had some message from a chick that’s claiming that her homegirl met A1 on a plane on the way to Miami, and the girl claimed they ended up sleeping together. I come to find out that this girl had sent me several DMs, and A1’s sneaky behind had logged into my DMs and deleted them. I mean, why would he do this if it wasn’t true? I don’t know, but I know I’m out of here.”

So Lyrica and her friend, Sia, went to the house, collected her things and left as quickly as possible. Lyrica even covered the surveillance camera in the house so A1 couldn’t see what they were doing. But it was too late — as he told Ray J upon his return, he saw movers going in and out of his house with boxes when they first arrived. And while he was sad to see Lyrica go, he was more worried about where he could find his son, Ocean. Despite calling Lyrica dozens of times, he couldn’t get in touch with her. She basically iced him out of her life.

“I’m not happy about moving. This is something I never wanted, but now I’ll be figuring out what the future is going to be like for me and Ocean. I’m sure A1 will be involved in Ocean’s life, and I’ll just figure out how to move on,” Lyrica confessed in a private confessional.

Want more drama? New episodes of L&HH: Hollywood air Mondays at 8pm on VH1!

All hail the queen! ‘Empire’s Taraji P. Henson arrived at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards looking regal as ever, as she walked the red carpet while wearing a sexy gown that showed off a lot of skin.

Empire may be coming to a close, but there’s no stopping Taraji P. Henson. Two days before the sixth and final season premiered on FOX, Taraji, 49, arrived at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards. While she wasn’t nominated (she was enlisted to be one of the night’s presenters), Taraji end up winning the whole night, thanks to her fantastic outfit. Ahead of the Sept. 22 event, Taraji walked the red carpet in a wispy pink-and-red number with a plunging neckline. Taraji has never been afraid to go bold, and she certainly did with this fabulous gown!

Here’s hoping that Empire cleans up at the 2020 Emmy Awards the same way Game of Thrones is expected to do this year. After six seasons and countless betrayals, heartbreaks and scandals, Empire’s final season will begin airing on Sept. 24. Though the ending is bittersweet, Taraji is grateful for how the show afforded her to do the thing she never thought possible. “[I got to] Travel the world,” she said during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Sept. 19. “I never thought a television show would take me global. I thought a movie would do it. Who knew that Cookie [Lyon, her character], with her loud mouth and her craziness, would go overseas. I never saw that.”

“She gave me a second life in this industry and made me a pop star in my 40s. Cookie was a movement. Long after I’m gone, people will be talking about Cookie,” she said when speaking about her Empire character to Entertainment Weekly. Though she has earned critical praise for her work in films like 2005’s Hustle & Flow, 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and 2016’s Hidden Figures, the role she’s most known for is that of the matriarch of the Lyon Family. After five seasons of sacrificing herself for her family, Taraji says that the final season of Empire will see her character “save herself and love herself. … Everything has been about doing something for her family, for her husband, for her sons — when has Cookie ever done anything for her?”

Taraji is glad for what Empire has done for the LGBT community. “I think for me, one of our proudest moments was the gay marriage,” she told Ellen Pompeo during their “Actors on Actors” session with Variety, referencing Jamal Lyon, the openly-gay character portrayed by Jussie Smollett. “I think for me, one of our proudest moments was the gay marriage. We didn’t know how the black community would accept Jamal. That storyline of the gay son, because it’s so taboo in our community. “And to have him so well-received — and you know there’s the negative homophobes on Twitter, but those are small voices compared to the resounding voices of love that the character gets.”

Unfortunately, in the wake of Jussie’s incident in Chicago, Empire’s creator, Lee Daniels, confirmed that Jussie would not be returning for the final season. Jussie was written out of the season after the actor claimed two men wearing “MAGA” hats attacked him while hurling racist and homophobic slurs. Jussie was accused of fabricating the attack and charged with making a false police report. The charges were later dropped, but the controversy still lingers. As for the fate of his character? Jamal and his husband, Kai Givens (portrayed by Toby Onwumere) “have decided to stay in London” and enjoy their honeymoon, Empire showrunner Brett Mahoney told TVLine.

In honor of Batman Day, we’re taking a look at some of the A-listers who have had the honor to play the role of Batman throughout the years.

Holy Batman Day, Batman! September 21, also known as Batman Day, is a day of celebration for Batman fans and comic book connoisseurs around the globe. The character of Batman made his first appearance in comic books way back in 1937, which makes him a little over 80 years old! Not only has the Batman been an important comic book hero since the golden days, his character has been prominent in pop culture, too. 

The first major blockbuster Batman film came from director Tim Burton and starred Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson in 1989. Tim Burton also directed the follow-up film, Batman Returns, in 1992, which also starred Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Danny DeVito as the Joker. Although Tim didn’t direct the third installment of the superhero franchise, he moved to a producer role for the next film, Batman Forever, in 1995. 

Christian Bale took over the role as Batman in the 2005 film Batman Begins, and starred alongside Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, and Katie Holmes in the box office success, which grossed $375M. He reprised his role as Batman in the 2008 film, The Dark Knight Rises, which also starred the late Heath Ledger. Ben Affleck took over Batman duties from 2016 – 2017, and most recently, it was announced that Twilight alum Robert Pattinson would play the role of Batman in the upcoming 2021 film, The Batman.

The Bel Ami actor received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike over the casting decision; however, in an interview with Variety, Pattinson said, “To be honest, it was less vitriolic than I was expecting. It’s much more fun when you’re an underdog. There’s no expectation of you.”

James Van Der Beek has a very bold little girl. She had the whole side of her head shaved, which is something she’s wanted for a ‘long time.’

James Van Der Beek‘s five-year-old daughter Annabel is going to have a whole new look on Monday nights when she roots for her dad on Dancing with the Stars. The blonde cutie has wanted to have half of her head shaved and she finally got her wish on Sept 20. Mom Kimberly played videographer as she showed the entire haircut process. Kimberly is heard saying that the cut is something she’s wanted “for a long time” and chipper Annabel chimes in “every day!”

Mama Kimberly seemed more nervous as initially Annabel’s shoulder length blonde curls were cut down to about several inches of hair left. “Mom can I hold it? Cause it’s my hair” she playfully says as she holds her curls in her hands. “Not anymore,” Kimberly laughs. “It IS still my hair” Annabel insists as she lifts it up to her nose to sniff it. Then out comes the electric clippers and Annabel laughs in delight that she’s now getting a buzz cut to the side of her head.

“This is my first time. I had one haircut before but this is my first time getting a different haircut,” the chatty Annabel reveals as Kimberly agrees, “That’s true, this is her second ever haircut.” Dad James was impressed, captioning the video: “I don’t know if my parents would have ever let me do this… because I don’t know if I would have had the balls to even go for it. VanDerBeek2.0 ❤️.” After the video, a second pic shows the “after” of the partially shaved had and Annabel looks like a total badass.

Even his DWTS family members were impressed. Peta Murgatroyd wrote “O M G!!!! This is super cool, what a rockstar!” and the show’s IG page agreed, commenting “Rockstar 🙌🏽.” More fans were impressed with Annabel’s confidence. “maaan, I want to have her determination! i loved that she didn’t blink or squirm when the stylist made the first cut… POWER TO YOU!!!💜👏🏽,” a woman named Lolani wrote while a fan named Anita added “I love her courage. Her little giggle like “oh it’s happening!” 🙌🏽 #shehasmoxie 🙂.” James, 42,  took the top spot on DWTS on the show’s season 28 premiere episode so hopefully we’ll be seeing him on the show — and Annabel in the audience — for many weeks to come.

Shawn Mendes says his relationship with Camila Cabello is the real deal, despite rumors that they’re only together as a publicity stunt! In a new interview, Sept. 18, the singer also confesses that he’s known Camila’s parents for quite some time!

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello‘s relationship is as real as it gets. And, he’s tight with her parents! Shawn denied rumors that he’s only dating the “Havana” singer as a publicity stunt to promote their new single, “Señorita”, in a new interview, September 18.

“It’s not a publicity stunt,” he told TMZ when the outlet caught up with him at LAX on Wednesday. When asked if he’s met Camila’s parents, Shawn replied, “I’ve known them for a long time. Yeah man,” he said, before confirming that he gets along with the family. 

Shawn remained silent when the reporter went on to ask if him and Camila say “I love you” yet. As he made his way across the airport with his guitar in hand, Shawn ended the impromptu interview with, “Alright brother, have a good one.”

The outlet caught up with Shawn on the same day he was photographed out with Camila. The couple was spotted hand in hand as they exited Aahs, a gift store in West Hollywood, CA. Shawn and Camila were photographed wearing masks, as they made their way into a waiting vehicle outside the store. The “Stitches” singer wore a scary baby mask, while the “Consequences” artist donned a unicorn head. She even struck a pose for the cameras to show off her playful look.

Camila and Shawn first stirred up dating rumors after the June 25 music video release of “Señorita”, their latest collaboration. In the video, both singers play lovers who are immersed in a sneaky and sexy love affair, where, in one scene, they can’t keep their hands off each other while aggressively kissing in a hotel room.

Not long after the video dropped, Camila and Shawn continued to fuel the romance rumors by stepping out on numerous, PDA-filled dates. And, the timing of Camila’s breakup with her now ex-boyfriend, Matthew Hussey, ironically coincided with the music video’s release. Despite remaining hush hush about their relationship in its early stages, Camila and Shawn have been going strong since they went public with their romance at the end of June.

Jon Gosselin accused ex-wife Kate Gosselin of mentally abusing their son, Collin, whom she sent to a behavioral health facility for three years. He spoke out in a new interview about the serious allegations.

Former reality star Jon Gosselin claims in a new interview that his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, mentally abused their 15-year-old son, Collin Gosselin, before sending him to live at a behavioral health unit for three years. The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star, 42, who divorced Kate in 2009, said in an interview with DailyMailTV that “it’s time America found out the truth about Kate. She isn’t the person you think she is.” HollywoodLife has reached out to Kate’s rep for comment.

Jon didn’t know that Collin, then 11, had been moved to Fairmount Behavioral Health institute in Philadelphia, PA, until after the fact. At the time, Kate had full custody and he had no legal access rights; he only saw the kids when they were at their private school. One day, he said, Collin, one of the sextuplets, stopped showing up. The school administrators said he was being homeschooled. Days later, Jon claims he received a letter from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS), stating that they received a report of suspected child abuse regarding Collin, and were investigating. It was Collin, Jon claims in the interview, who reportedly accused Kate of the suspected abuse, he says he later learned.

Jon states in the interview that he obtained a lawyer to fight for joint legal custody. Now, Collin lives with his father full-time. Jon claims that he has received “50 to 60” letters over the years about abuse investigations, and says he may never forgive his ex-wife. “Other than ADHD, which is extremely common, Collin has never been diagnosed with any known medical condition, there’s nothing wrong with him. But Kate sent him away, she couldn’t deal with him. He was alone for three and a half years with no parents, all locked up. It was inhumane,” Jon said.

Jon provided DailyMailTV with a letter that he says Collin wrote him from Fairmount on June 21, 2017, which he claims was “smuggled out” and given to him by Collin’s roommate. “Dear Dad, I’m not trying to trick you, but I still love you, I told mom I want to live with you. She said no,” the letter reads, scrawled in crayon. “But right? She can’t choose for me, I’m old enough now, I’m YOUR son, not hers. She was abusive to me after I left your house. I’m sorry, take this to court, because you’re my dad, my savior. And let me meet Colleen [Conrad, Jon’s girlfriend]. I’m counting on your to get me out of here: Fairmount. Daddy, I love you. Save me! Please come FAST. I love you. Help me. BYE.”

John also states in the interview that Collin has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), allegedly caused by the abuse. “I know my children have suffered abuse and I know one day they’re going to tell their own story. And sadly enough, I know what PTSD is. It’s really upsetting,” Jon says. Jon reports that while DHS did investigate the multiple abuse allegations, they ultimately determined the reports were “unfounded” due to lack of evidence, according to letters sent to him by the agency.

Jon describes a “pattern of abuse” by Kate, including “running a military-esque regime.” He claims that Collin’s sister, 15-year-old Hannah, in particular, was allegedly alienated by her mother before deciding to come live with her dad. “Hannah had had enough; she was always labeled the leader of the pack,” Jon explained. “She just got tired of being the leader of the pack and all that responsibility. She just wanted to be a kid. Kate targeted her. I mean who puts all that pressure on to someone that’s 12 years old? It’s a lot.”

He added that he fears that his other children — 18-year-old twins Cara and Mady, and 15-year-olds Aaden, Joel, Alexis and Leah — have suffered abuse, as well. “I do know what she’s capable of, whether it’s mental or physical. I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind. They left fame and money and came to my house. They left it all behind.”

Khloe Kardashian complimented Kendall Jenner’s new blonde hair, but instead of accepting the praise, the model dissed her older half-sister.

We had no idea that Kendall Jenner could be so savage! The 23-year-old model had no interest in being compared to her older half-sister Khloe Kardashian, when a Twitter user compared the two, following Kendall’s new dye job. After Kendall walked the Burberry catwalk during London Fashion Week with a new blonde ‘do, a fan tweeted to Khloe and said, “@khloekardashian Out of topic but can we talk about this: HOW GORGEOUS KENNY LOOKS WITH BLOND HAIR? omg i can’t!!!!” Khloe, who has been sporting blonde hair for years now, then suggested that there was an obvious similarity.

“She’s so perfect either way!!!!!! I mean now she looks exactly like me,” Khloe tweeted in response. However, Kendall, didn’t seem to appreciate Khloe’s words. “You wish bitch,” the model fired back. We’d like to think Kendall was joking, but this isn’t the first time that Kendall’s been shady to her sisters. In fact, Kendall recently told Jimmy Fallon that she wasn’t a fan of her nephew, Psalm West‘s, name. “Kim, like, made me come to her house and, like, help her pick a name. And, like, it was this whole thing. She would not let me leave the house until we figured out a name. And then [she] ended up going with a name that I didn’t even, like, that I didn’t care for as much. I think they were all really beautiful, but I was kind of rooting for another name,'” Kendall said.

Then, during an appearance on Live! with Kelly & Ryan, Kim clapped back. She said, “So I saw this interview that Kendall did on Fallon, and I was like, ‘Excuse me!’ First of all, say it to me first; don’t say it on TV!”‘

Yikes! It sounds like these sisters just love to fight with each other.

James Van Der Beek is ready to show he’s got dance moves and acting chops. He spoke EXCLUSIVELY about why he’s ‘excited’ to dance and he revealed it’ll be a little ‘nerve-racking’ to have his kids in the audience.

James Van Der Beek, 42, will be stepping in front of the camera but this time he’ll be dancing. The Dawson’s Creek star is a celebrity contestant on Dancing With the Stars season 28. James is ready to dance his heart out and for his kids to see what he can do in the ballroom. “They see my moves all the time. We dance in the house constantly,” James told HollywoodLife at the Dancing With the Stars 2019 red carpet on Aug. 21 at Planet Hollywood in New York City. “I’m excited for them to watch me try something that I haven’t done before and to watch me learn and put in work and just jump into something because it was fun and crazy. And that’s kind of what I hope they take from it.”

The actor’s family will be supporting him every step of the way. James is happily married to Kimberly Brook and they have 5 kids — Olivia, Annabel, Emilia, Joshua, and Gwendolyn. “It’ll be fun to have my kids, as long as they’re quiet [in the audience],” James continued. “They’re pretty young. It’s going to be a little nerve-racking.” James’s oldest child is 9 years old and his youngest just turned 1 in June 2019.

James has already been sizing up his competition and knows he has to look out for one person in particular. “I mean, how do you outwork Ray Lewis?” James said. “You know what I’m saying? The man’s a champion at everything he’s ever done in his life. So yeah, it’s pretty intimidating. I’m just looking forward to having fun. I started on stage, so I miss being in front of an audience.”

He’ll also be competing alongside Lamar Odom, Hannah Brown, Sailor Brinkley-Cook, Ally Brooke, and more. Dancing With the Stars season 28 will air Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

‘DWTS’ is back! Season 28 premieres Sept. 16 so we’re taking a trip down memory lane at the past 27 ‘Dancing With the Stars’ winners that include Shawn Johnson, Rumer Willis, and more.

Dancing With the Stars has been a TV staple since it premiered in 2005. Over the past 27 seasons, we’ve fallen in love with the celebrities and their professional partners as they hit the dance floor. At the end of every season, a pair is awarded the coveted mirrorball trophy. Season 28 will premiere Sept. 16 on ABC and includes celebrities like Lamar Odom, Christie Brinkley, and James Van Der Beek.

The very first winner of Dancing With the Stars was General Hospital star Kelly Monaco. She was paired with pro dancer Alec Mazo. They beat out John O’Hurley and Charlotte Jørgensen for the win. Kelly returned for season 15 — dubbed the All-Stars season — and came in third place.

There have been a number of Olympians who have won DWTS. Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno was the first Olympian to win the show. He was paired with Julianne Hough. Other Olympic winners of Dancing With the Stars include Kristi Yamaguchi, Shawn Johnson, and Laurie Hernandez. Laurie became the youngest ever winner of DWTS when she won season 23 at 16 years old.

The last winner was radio host Bobby Bones. While he didn’t have the highest scores, he was delightful to watch. Bobby’s season 27 win with Sharna Burgess marked Sharna’s first-ever win as a pro. They beat out Disney Channel star Milo Manheim and Harry Potter star Evanna Lynch in the number of votes. Sharna will not be returning as a pro in season 28. Dancing With the Stars is set to reveal format changes in season 28 but the core of the show will always remain the same: it’s all about the dancing. DWTS airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Now that Andy Cohen is a father, he revealed what’s new in his life that he’s ‘never experienced’ before. HollywoodLife even asked how many more kids the ‘WWHL’ host would consider during our exclusive interview!

Andy Cohen, 51, is seven months into being a first-time dad, which he has devoted to ample father-son quality time with his baby boy, Benjamin Allen Cohen! From lunchtime to sitting by the beach, Andy has shown his Instagram fans how he and Benjamin have been bonding. Out of all these parenting activities, HollywoodLife asked the executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise what’s his favorite thing about being a dad during our EXCLUSIVE interview. “Just that every day is a new day and it’s a love like I’ve never experienced,” Andy gushed. “And he’s just opened up my world.” The experience has been so wonderful, Andy’s thinking of factoring more kids into his family plans!

“I would like to [have more kids],” Andy admitted to HollywoodLife, after we asked if he’s open to welcoming more children. Reaffirming that decision, he repeated, “I would like to, yeah.” But the real question is, how many siblings would Andy give Benjamin? “Oh, who knows,” the new father mused. “I don’t know. It’s a concept, right now.” We’ll work with that!

Before becoming a father of two (or three?), Andy still has to fully adjust to parenthood after recently welcoming his son via surrogate on Feb. 4. He admitted that fatherhood has “changed [his] life in every way” when HollywoodLife spoke with the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host in another EXCLUSIVE interview in July.

“The funny thing is, I leave for the show between 9:00 and 9:30 every night, so that’s great. He goes to bed at 8:30. But, the other thing is I’m a single parent so I want to spend as much time as I can with him,” Andy EXCLUSIVELY told us, explaining his new routine for the summer. He continued, “The cool thing is, I’m really in and out all day with my job. So, I’ll go to the radio sometimes in the morning for two hours, come home, get to put him down for his nap. He goes to bed, I’ll leave. He wakes up, I’m with him for two more hours and then we put him down, go to work. So, it’s like I’m kind of here and there throughout the day, which is nice consistency.” There’s also the major change in Andy’s driveway — he had to swap his convertible for a SUV, and used Autotrader’s 12 Best New Cars for 2019 guide before making the purchase!

Just like his dad, Benjamin is changing too. “He‘s really looking at things differently. He‘s looking at pictures in books, paying attention, grabbing a lot more, grabbing my nose a lot,” Andy revealed to us in July, when his son was just five months old. We can’t wait for this royal Bravo family to expand even more, and for Andy to continue sharing the journey with us!

The Kylie Jenner/Travis Scott ‘Playboy’ shoot is finally here! The reality star looks absolutely stunning in the photos — both with and without her man — for the mag.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott appear in a spread for Playboy’s ‘Pleasure’ issue, and they look SO in love. The spread is eight pages long, and features photos of Kylie and Travis that were shot by Sasha Samsanova. Meanwhile, Travis served as creative director of the shoot himself, so he led the artistic direction. The rapper also interviewed his longtime girlfriend for the mag. In one pic — WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE — Kylie wears a completely sheer outfit, with her back facing the camera as she leans into Travis for a hug. His hands are resting on her backside, which is partly visible through the sheer ensemble. Meanwhile, the back of the outfit is totally open to show some skin.

In another pic, she is completely nude, save for a sheer, blue sheet that’s covering her body. The sheet is soaking wet and see through, but Kylie is covering up her unmentionables by putting an arm over her chest and posing so that her leg is blocking the lower portion of her body. For another photo with Travis, she wraps her body around his leg while wearing a skimpy white tank top and cowboy boots. Kylie is staring into the camera with a stunning smolder on her face and she looks stunning.

“We think the same and we have the same goals and passions in life,” Kylie explained, of her relationship with Travis. “Besides the fact that we have good chemistry, we have a lot of fun together. You’re my best friend. Through all the ups and downs that every relationship has, we evolve together through them and keep getting stronger.”

As far as Kylie photo shoots go, this is far from the most revealing. In fact, when she posted a sneak peek image from the shoot, she was totally nude and showing even more skin than in any of the magazine shots! However, she admitted that it’s the new direction that Playboy has taken in recent years — less full-frontal nudity — that got her on-board with the shoot.

“I never thought I would pose for Playboy, but I love the new covers,” Kylie told Travis. “I love what Playboy is doing right now creatively, and when you presented me with the idea — that you would be behind the cover and creative direction and be in control of the images — I thought it was a perfect fit because I trust you and your vision.” The magazine is on stands Sept. 17.

Miranda Lambert might have a new security guard: her husband Brendan McLoughlin! The cop may decide not to go back to the New York Police Department so he can ‘stick by Miranda’s side.’

Brendan McLoughlin is on a leave of absence from his post at the New York Police Department, but it’s possible that he might not return to his job so he can spend more time with Miranda Lambert, 35, after their amazing honeymoon.

“Brendan had always planned on returning to the NYPD after taking a short hiatus from work. He loves being a police officer and it’s something he saw himself doing for the rest of his life. Brendan had every intention of spending time with Miranda after their wedding to just enjoy the honeymoon phase and then go back after her tour is done. But as time has gone on, Miranda and Brendan have become so inseparable and love spending as much time together as they can.” a source told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY.

The cop wouldn’t be without work if he chose to permanently leave the NYPD, though. “They have discussed Brendan possibly not going back to the NYPD and instead serving as security for Miranda,” the insider adds. “At this point, it’s definitely an option for them but no final decision has been made yet and it’s something that’s still being discussed. Brendan still has time to decide if he wants to go back or if he wants to change direction & stick by Miranda’s side.”

The couple married in January in a surprise wedding. Brendan continued to work until this summer, taking the leave of absence from his job in July. “Police Officer Brendan McLoughlin is on an authorized leave of absence,” Sgt. Brendan Ryan, spokesperson for the NYPD, told HollywoodLife at the time. ”The Department has rules and procedures governing leaves of absence by members of the service and complies with applicable law.” The NYPD declined to comment on the specifics of Brendan’s leave, including the length of the absence.

Cardi B and Offset’s 1-year-old daughter is a already a natural in front of the camera. Cardi shared the cutest photo of the Migos rapper holding baby Kulture, who was decked out in a Burberry jacket and Jordan sneakers on Sept. 10!

Cardi B and Offset have a little model on their hands! The hip hop couple’s 1-year-old daughter, Kulture posed like a pro in a new photo her mom shared to both Instagram and Twitter on Tuesday night. Offset can be seen holding the pair’s first child together in the snap, captioned, “My hearts”.

Kulture looked completely comfortable in front of the camera, as she was posed looking straight forward with her index finger in her mouth. She had a stylish black head wrap on, which covered. The headwear is currently a huge trend in celebrity babies. Kulture rocked a Burberry signature print hooded jacket with a black sweatshirt underneath that read her name in white, along with black leggings.

Cardi and Offset’s daughter’s swag didn’t stop there, though. Kulture had on a fresh pair of grey, black and red baby Jordan sneakers with black laces. Her dad is a big sneaker head, so it’s likely it was the Migos rapper who picked out her footwear. Then again, Cardi is also a sneaker fanatic, and just signed a huge shoe deal with Reebok. — So, it could’ve been a joint effort by the proud parents.

And, Kulture wouldn’t be Cardi and Offset’s baby if she didn’t sport diamonds like her rapper parents. She had on an icy diamond bracelet on her left wrist that shined in the adorable family photo. Cardi and Offset have showed off multiple pieces of diamond jewelry they’ve gifted their daughter in past videos on social media.

The couple celebrated Kulture’s first birthday on July 13, with a big New York-based bash. Kulture was born on July 10, 2018. The party featured a rainbow dessert display, music, balloons and more. Cardi and Kulture coordinated their party outfits with matching rainbow dresses by one of the rapper’s favorite designers, Moschino.

Fans were shocked when Kim Kardashian revealed she tested positive for Lupus antibodies on this week’s ‘KUWTK,’ and during a Sept. 10 appearance, she gave an update regarding where she’s at with her health.

Kim Kardashian’s scary health battle began playing out on the season 17 premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It all started when Kim started suffering severe pain in her joints — specifically her wrists. She also noticed that her hands had started swelling up and that she was getting tired all the time. A doctor ran some blood tests and found that she had tested positive for Lupus antibodies. However, we’ll have to wait until next week’s episode to see Kim go in for follow-up tests, just in case the blood work showed a false positive.

When Kim appeared on the Today show on Sept. 10, she couldn’t delve too much into the diagnosis, but she did assure fans that she is doing okay now (the KUWTK episode was filmed back in April). “I unfortunately had to get put on medication to stop the symptoms,” Kim admitted. “I tried everything natural for the longest time, but we chose the best route for me. Luckily, right now, everything is under control, but autoimmune issues are really scary.”

Kim also revealed that she prepared herself for the worst when she found out that something was really wrong with her. “I didn’t realize I would be one of those people, but before I knew what it was and it was up in the air, you get in your head and you think of every worst possibility of what’s going to happen and how you’re going to live your life,” she explained. “You do get into a little depression for a minute. I got myself out of it, but it was really scary to have to go through that.”

The next episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs on Sept. 15 at 9:00 p.m. on E!, so we’ll have to tune in and see what happens next with Kim’s health. Luckily, we can be assured that she is doing okay now.

A Twitter feud has erupted between Chrissy Teigen and Donald Trump after her referred to her as John Legend’s ‘filthy mouthed wife’ in a rant about criminal justice reform. Of course, she wasn’t afraid to clap back.

Chrissy Teigen has never been shy about her feelings of disdain (to put it lightly) toward Donald Trump, and on Sept. 8, she was at it again on Twitter — with GOOD reason. It started when Trump tweeted, “When all of the people pushing so hard for Criminal Justice Reform were unable to come even close to getting it done, they came to me as a group and asked for my help. I got it done with a group of Senators & others who would have never gone for it. [Barack] Obama couldn’t even come close. A man named Van Jones, and many others, were profusely grateful (at that time!). I signed it into law, no one else did & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise. Guys like boring musician John Legend and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking about how great it is — but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed.”

Once Chrissy caught wind of the tweet, she took to her own page to respond, “Lol what a p***y a** b***. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.” Then, she posted a photo of herself working on a colorful sign for her daughter, Luna’s, first day of school, and added, “Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the p***y a** b**** president had his 9th meltdown of the day.” Fans absolutely loved Chrissy’s unfiltered response, and it wasn’t long before #PresidentP***yA**B**** was trending on twitter.

Trump’s tweet came after John joined NBC News’ Lester Holt for a special about the criminal justice system in the U.S., which aired on MSNBC on Sept. 8. As Chrissy also pointed out on Twitter, she wasn’t even PART of the show. “I literally didn’t speak in the, nor was I mentioned,” she tweeted. “I’m cackling at the pointless addition of me because he cannot not be a b****.”

Of course, John stepped in to defend himself and his wife on Twitter, as well. “Imagine being the president of a whole country and spending your Sunday night hate-watching MSNBC hoping somebody — ANYBODY — will praise you,” he wrote. “Melania [Trump], please praise this man. He needs you.”

Priyanka Chopra was all smiles when she stepped out looking amazing in a tan suede plunging top and matching skirt during an ‘LA Times’ press junket appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Priyanka Chopra, 37, once again impressed with her fashion when she showed up to an LA Times junket at the Toronto International Film Festival in a figure-flattering ensemble that helped her show off her incredible curvy figure. The actress wore a tan suede long-sleeved top that plunged down showing nothing but skin underneath and a matching long tan suede skirt that flowed down at her ankles. She topped off the look with matching tan heels and sound sunglasses that also had a tan shade to them.

Priyanka’s latest appearance is just one of many she’s made while wearing stylish ensembles over the past week. The wife of Nick Jonas, 26, has also been turning heads during outings in New York with her hubby and each time seems more memorable than the time before, proving Pri knows how to make a lasting impression when she wants. One of those included her appearance at the Couture Council Luncheon to Honor Christian Louboutin on Sept. 4. She wore a gorgeous black and white MONSE Resort 2020 Look 9 dress with a massive and sexy slit.

When she’s not flaunting her eye-catching outfits at public outings, Priyanka’s focusing on her personal life. She recently admitted to wanting to have a baby with Nick soon now that the couple are closer to their one-year wedding anniversary. “Buying a home and having a baby are on my to-do list,” she told Vogue India in an interview for its September issue.

From cheating scandals to divorce filings that seemingly came out of nowhere, these celebrity couples’ splits buckled fans into a roller-coaster of emotions. Here’s a recap.

As Neil Sedaka once sang, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.” That 1975 ballad holds especially true in 2019, which saw some of the most wild splits in the history of celebrity romances. If you’ve lost count, don’t worry — we’re recapping the most major breakups, starting in January. Jeff Bezos, 55, rocked the world when the Amazon CEO and his wife of 25 years, Mackenzie Bezos, 49, announced their split on Jan. 9. On that very same day, a report sprang up of an alleged relationship between Jeff and former news anchor Lauren Sánchez, 49…but both were still legally married to their respective spouses! Now, all is settled. Jeff and Mackenzie’s divorce was finalized in July, Mackenzie scooped 19.7 million shares of Amazon (that alleged no-prenup arrangement worked favorably for her), and Jeff and Lauren have since gone public with their romance.

Moving into February, Khloe Kardashian, 35, and Tristan Thompson, 28, took the limelight with their breakup. This wasn’t a joint statement type of situation — the news broke because of a report that family friend Jordyn Woods, 21, hooked up with the Cleveland Cavaliers player at an after-party in Los Angeles (yes, as in Khloe’s turf). Jordyn later clarified that it was just a peck on the lips — Tristan initiated, not her, according to her confession on Red Table Talk — and the model had to add an “ex” to her title as Kylie Jenner’s best friend. That same month, Lady Gaga, 33, and Christian Carino, 50, called off their engagement seemingly out of nowhere (but the singer made it clear she wasn’t pursuing her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper, 44, who reportedly split with the mother of his child, Irina Shayk, 33, just a few months later).

Demi Lovato, 27, showed off a blooming new romance with fashion designer Henry Levy, 28, in the four months after she completed a reported 90-day stint in rehab in Nov. 2018. However, the two were reportedly over by March 2019. That same month, fans were trying to figure out if Zayn Malik, 26, and Gigi Hadid, 24, were still together (he tweeted a mysterious “love you” at the model, after it was believed they split during the 2018 holiday season). But fans of Wendy Williams, 55, no longer had to speculate if she and Kevin Hunter, 46, were ending their marriage. Wendy filed for divorce on April 10, just about two weeks after Kevin’s alleged mistress, Sharina Hudson, allegedly had a baby (the father hasn’t been confirmed).

Jumping to the end of summer, the breakups continued to pile on! Kaitlynn Carter and Brody Jenner’s split was shortly followed by Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth’s heartbreaking announcement about the end of their on-again, off-again relationship that has spanned a decade on Aug. 10. On that very same day, a photo of Kaitlynn and Miley kissing in Italy went viral! While we were still wrapping our heads around that complicated web, Zooey Deschanel, 39, and Jacob Pechenik, 47, decided to split after tying the knot in 2015, which their rep relayed through a joint statement to HollywoodLife on Sept. 6. Furthermore, the pair had already been broken up for “several months,” a source EXCLUSIVELY confirmed with us! Now, read about even more splits in our gallery above.

Love is in the air! Former ‘America’s Got Talent’ star Kehlani and rapper YG made their first official red carpet appearance as a couple at NYFW.

Kehlani, 24, and YG, 29, are officially official! The pair made their surprising red carpet debut as a brand new couple on Sept. 5 during the start of New York Fashion Week. Kehlani looked chic as ever in a plunging navy blue blazer dress that showed off her toned, tattooed legs and rocked a pair of sexy, strappy heels. The Grammy-nominated artist kept her hair simple, pulling it back to show off her gorgeous face and completed her NYFW look with a seductive cat eye and nude lips.

YG’s look was also on point! The “Don’t Tell ‘Em” rapper wore a sleek black leather jacket with white flame details, along with a plain white shirt under his jacket and black jeans. The 29-year-old artist also wore a pair of sparkly red shoes and a red belt that added some cool pizzazz to his ensemble.

The pair looked as if they just stepped off the NYFW runway as they held hands and walked down a flight of stairs after attending the KITH fashion show. The two artists make quite the cute couple!

The former America’s Got Talent star shocked fans across the globe when she announced she was four months pregnant in October 2018, taking to Instagram to share the news. “Dearest little girl, I am so proud to be your mommy,” she wrote. “I am so proud to have received you.

SHE DONT [sic] WANNN HIDE NO MO. We’re so ready for you mija!”

During the premiere of ‘Dog’s Most Wanted,’ Beth Chapman gets some bad news about her cancer, but embarks on a hunt with Dog the Bounty Hunter to take her mind off of it.

The series premiere of Dog’s Most Wanted begins with Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth Chapman in Colorado at the beginning of 2019. Beth has recently relapsed in her battle with cancer, and her doctor calls to explain that her tumor “is not improving.” Of course, this news is upsetting for Beth, who starts quietly tearing up. “I’m thinking that I need to advise you to start with some chemotherapy,” the doctor says. “I need to schedule a time to get you in as soon as possible.” However, Beth is not ready to make that appointment. “No no,” she responds. “I need to process it first and then call you back, okay?”

Beth was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017, and underwent surgery and chemotherapy to fight the disease. She eventually found herself in remission, but was not happy with the side effects of chemo, which is why she was so hesitant this time around. In general, the news that her disease has progressed so far is unsettling for Beth. “It’s a little hard to believe,” she admits. “You go from…I have this little cough to…oh my God. Once you find out that it’s incurable lung cancer…where is there to go from there? There’s no stage five. You need to prioritize your life in a very quick matter. We have to start making real life-changing decisions right away.”

The episode then flashes forward a few days to January 4, when Beth undergoes her first chemo treatment. “[She] decides to supplement it with an innovative program using CBD oil,” the show’s narrator explains. “Within two weeks, she’s showing remarkable improvements, but she needs something to take her mind off the process.”

That’s when her husband, Dog, steps in to make a suggestion. “I remember Tony Robbins once said to me — go back to work. Do what you do best,” he tells Beth. “I’ve seen with my eyes that you are starting to eat. I see every morning when you wake up…I look at your color, and you have color back in the last three to four days. I’m thinking with the chemo and this…this is working. I want to test to see if you’re up to this, because if you’re not, I gotta go make us some money.”

Dog decides to take Beth on a manhunt in Hawaii to see if she can still handle it. “Beth needs something right now to get her excited,” he says. “I love her and I’ll do anything for her.” Beth takes part in a high-energy chase for one of the state’s Most Wanted men and his son. Although she has to take one night off to rest, she plays a big part in tracking down the guys. Eventually, they capture the dad, but Beth isn’t satisfied — she wants to get the son, too, and Dog is thrilled by her enthusiasm.

“Beth has not been on a hunt since the diagnosis of the cancer,” he concludes. “Working, I can see, is doing wonders. It’s like a miracle drug, working with her. I always worry about her and it’s keeping her alive. So come on baby, let’s get ’em!”

Amber Portwood filmed her own special segment for the Sept. 3 ‘Teen Mom OG’ reunion special, and during her chat with Dr. Drew, she said her ‘insane’ ex is already dating someone new.

Amber Portwood couldn’t reveal much about her alleged fight with her ex, Andrew Glennon, during the Teen Mom OG reunion special on Sept. 3 — due to legal ramifications that could follow — but she did say that Andrew is “insane”. She also revealed that he seems to be dating someone new. It all started when MTV rehashed Amber’s entire story from this season, and the footage pointed out that Andrew texted 911 when Amber allegedly attacked him with a machete. She, however, found that to be hilarious because, “If someone comes after me with that, I’m running out the door” and calling the police, she confessed. So what’s the deal then and what really happened?

“There’s some narcissism here that I can’t comprehend at the moment,” Amber told Dr. Drew. “If it takes you less than two weeks to ask a woman to come to Indiana…” Dr. Drew then asked Amber if she meant there’s another woman in Andrew’s life, and she said yes. “I’ve already talked to her. She’s a good person. She’s very nice. She’s a very sweet person,” Amber added.

And while she remained positive while talking about the situation, Amber said that finding out Andrew had moved on so quickly “completely ripped my heart out.”

Dr. Drew then asked Amber what really happened the night the cops were called. But all she said was, “Why would I jeopardize [everything after going to jail already]? You haven’t heard s*** from me [since then]. But all of a sudden I’m running after my kid with a machete? [Andrew’s] insane!”

Justin Bieber is gearing up for his wedding with Hailey Baldwin on Sept. 30 and although he’s excited about the festivities, he’s also a bit anxious and wants to make sure it ends up being the ‘perfect’ day.

Justin Bieber, 25, and Hailey Baldwin, 22, may already be legally married, but their upcoming wedding ceremony is set to be one for the books! The singer is already thrilled to be married to the love of his life, but he can’t help but think about the upcoming special day, which is expected to include their closest family and friends, and how important it is to him for everything to fall into place.

“Justin loves Hailey with all his heart and he wants to prove to her that they are an unbreakable couple,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “He wants to provide for her like none other and show her that their bond is the greatest thing that they have. So you can imagine that later this month when they get married again in front of God and friends and family, some things have weighed on him, and he’s been nervous because he wants it to be perfect and everything Hailey wants it to be. He wants to make that moment where he is his best self. There is excitement that surrounds that but it’s a nervous excitement because this will make it real and forever in his mind so he wants everything to go 100% right.”

Hailey is definitely appreciative of her husband’s concern and understands, but she’s just happy to be with him. “Hailey is completely on board and ecstatic and realizes Justin’s nerves but has reassured him that everything is already perfect because they have each other and that their wedding will be the best day of their lives,” the source continued. “It is a really special time for them both right now. It feels like magic.”

Justin and Hailey were first married on Sept. 13, 2018 at a courthouse in New York City after Justin proposed in the Bahamas in July of the same year. They reportedly have been planning their wedding celebration for a long time and finally have it set to take place in South Carolina on Sept. 30.

President Trump wasn’t amused by the ‘Will & Grace’ stars’ comments, reminding Debra that she once called him ‘Sir’ at an NBC event years ago.

Donald Trump, 73, is always feuding with someone — and this Labor Day weekend, he’s taking shots at Debra Messing, 51. Trump name-checked the Will & Grace star in a now-deleted tweet after she criticized his upcoming Beverly Hills fundraiser during Emmy week. “Please print a list of all attendees please. The public has a right to know,” Debra tweeted on the evening of August 30. The ritzy event — which funds Trump’s re-election efforts — is being hosted on September 17, and tickets start at $1000 but can run up to a whopping $100,000 per couple.

Trump didn’t take kindly to Debra’s criticism, rebutting with “I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me ‘Sir.’ How times have changed!” The response — which was posted on the morning of Sunday, September 1 — references Debra and Donald’s two-year overlap at the peacock network: Will & Grace, which ran eight 8 years, had its original final season in 2006 and Trump’s The Apprentice premiered in 2004.

Debra swiftly responded two hours later, tweeting, “Now that I know I have your attention @realDonaldTrump, please read this thread— a PARTIAL list of souls lost to preventable, devastating gun violence. America wants universal background checks. The majority of Americans want assault weapons ban. Take Action and I’ll call you Sir.” She attached a tweet listing a number of mass shootings in the US, detailing the total number of lives lost and injuries in each city.

The outspoken redhead continued to clap back on Instagram, posting “So! I woke up this morning to my phone notifications going crazy. I got scared. I thought “Oh NO! Don’t tell me there is a 3rd mass shooting this weekend! Don’t tell me the Bahamians have lost their homes, their Lives by Hurricane #dorian! It was Trump. NOT CALLING McConnell and demanding an end to the recess, and an emergency meeting to pass the gun violence bills passed by the House months ago. NOT reversing his decision to move $155 MILLION DOLLARS from FEMA Disaster Fund to ICE. Nope. What was on Trump’s mind in the midst of such tragedy, was me. The LAST thing that should be on his mind or in his tweets. #25thamendment.”

Debra continued to comment on Twitter, also writing “I am proud to be a donor when I contribute to a campaign. I am happy to be listed when I attend a fundraiser. I am assuming anyone who donates to Trump’s fundraiser would feel the same. Why wouldn’t they?” and sharing a link to where followers can find public lists of donors in their areas.
