Though in the beginning of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, Beyoncé keeps on teasing her fans with new music! In this new H&M commericial (Bey is the spokesperson for their summer campaign), she gives everyone a snippet of her new song "Standing on the Sun." The singer recently released another snippet of song "Grown Woman" for her Pepsi ad.

The song gives a little "Baby Boy" vibe with the island feel. It's fun and perfect since summer is right around the corner! Now what I REALLY need is for Bey to release the FULL songs on iTunes. I along with the rest of the BeyHive are getting very antsy!

Every Tuesday is Game Day! Picking up from last week, the Sabers move in for training camp. While a lot of the players focus on moving in with all of their TVs and material things, Blue merely has a bag and some sheets. One of the players gets on him about the fact that he doesn't have a Sunbeam in his life, saying that the Sunbeams are their main support system. The team also TP's him as a part of rookie orientation!

On the field, Blue struggles to connect with Malik's throws. The team is clearly frustrated, and thinks the Sabers may have made the wrong choice in trading Derwin for him. Jason goes over to talk to Blue, and tells him that he has to extend his arms and snatch the ball, instead of waiting for it to come to him. Jason goes out on the field to show him what he means, and KILLS! Even though he's retired, he does great, and gets loud applause from the sidelines.

Later, Malik skypes with Tasha and Tee Tee and talk about how big of a bust Blue is. Malik doesn't think that he has it. Tee Tee tells Malik that his brand can't afford a losing season. However, Tasha thinks that what Blue needs is a Sunbeam to take his mind off things, and help have his back. However, Malik and Tee Tee think they need to come up with a plan B.

The next day, Tasha and Jazz pop up on Keira and tell her that she needs to support Blue and become a Sunbeam. Keira doesn't see what that has to do with her, seeing as though they are not even together. She declines the offer, and politely asks them to leave.

Meanwhile, Malik meets Jason at his house to talk about Blue. Because Blue's such a disaster, Malik tells Jason that the Sabers want him back! He took the tape of Jason on the field to the practice room, and the team wants to negotiate his contract. They offer him $1 million, but Jason is less than enthusiastic because that's the veteran minimum. Because of what he's done for the team, he feels he deserves much more, and kicks Malik out for even suggesting it.

Back at her condo, Keira gets a call from Blue to ask her to bring him his special pillow to camp. When she refuses, he hangs up on her. It's clear that he wants and needs her support even though they're not official yet.
Later that night, Chardonnay watches the championship video from a few years back. Though Jason still doesn't want to play for the Sabers because of their less than appealing offer, she makes the point that football makes him HAPPY and it's not about the money. It's about the game! Even when he came back from the field, he was ecstatic about his good day. She wants to be a part of that football life that she missed out on, seeing him happy like that.

That night, Keira brings Blue his little special pillow. She asks him if he's okay, and he fakes like he is. Keira tells him that because he has a lot on his plate, she will be there to be his little "sunshine" or "suntan" to support him. Especially since he helped her out with the 75 G's from the auction! They talk more about training camp, and Blue admits how hard it is for him. I love their storyline. They're so cute!

At the end, Jason walks up into training camp, having made the choice to focus on the game and not the money! JASON PITTS IS BACK!

Partying and stealing is the teen dream for Emma Watson's fame-obsessed character in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring. The trailer, released today courtesy of Yahoo, gives audiences more about this tale inspired by the real-life group of teens who broke into the Hollywood Hills residences of celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom. The little juvenile delinquents stole up to $3 million worth of jewelry, designer clothes and other high-priced items! Check out the trailer below!


The former Harry Potter star continues to shed that good girl image as Nicki, the thieves' bad-girl ringleader who declares "I want to rob." So when she isn’t busy going hard in the clubs with her crew, they do just that—going on raids of different celebs’ homes and getting attention from the media…and the cops.

The Bling Ring is set to open the Un Certain Regard section of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival next month and will be hitting theaters on June 14! I’m excited to see this one! I’ve seen the Lifetime movie version, and it’s a pretty good plot. I think this one will definitely be better, though. Plus, I love Emma Watson! Be sure to check it out this summer!

The Hollywood Reporter has come out to say that Jennifer Lopez may be coming back to American Idol—to replace Mariah Carey! Their sources say that Idol producers, along with Fox executives, began negotiations with J. Lo, who was a fan-favorite judge during seasons 10 and 11, to rejoin the show. However, when Mariah got wind of it, she threatened to sue! THR also went on to report that producers want to bring Jennifer back for the season finale next month regardless, and that no judge’s job on the panel (not even Randy’s) is safe!

Reps for Fox and Mariah both denied THR's report. Show producer Nigel Lythgoe told THR: "I have not been included in any conversation regarding replacing Mariah with Jen this season."

A show source also tells THR that possible replacements include a music professional, "not necessarily a star" to join the panel next year (THANK YOU!).

These are all reports, but who knows what’s going to happen with AI. This is why I think that this show should have been canceled quite a few seasons ago. When your focus is on who’s on the judging panel instead of who’s singing on stage, there’s a problem. But whatever. FOX will keep this show going until the last wheel falls off, it looks like.

Do you think that Mariah will be replaced, either with Jennifer or someone else? Is it time for the whole show to end?

Let the church say AMEN! Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have FINALLY reached a divorce settlement! An agreement, signed by both of them, was handed into L.A. court today, according to E! News.

Prior to granting the divorce, Judge Hank Goldberg asked Kim, "Is there anyway your marriage could be saved?" "No your Honor," she responded. The mom-to-be also confirmed to the court she had entered into this agreement freely.

The judge granted her the long-awaited divorce, though an official judgment has not be entered into court yet. The official end of marriage date will happen when an judge signs off on it, which should be on June 19.

Kudos to Kris for finally letting go! It was so stupid to drag this thing out when Kim is now with Kanye West and close to having her baby. She doesn’t need the extra stress of a dramatic divorce holding her back. Best wishes to them both as they move forward with their lives.

Another Game day! Picking up from last week, the Sunbeams host their annual charity auction, with the fine gorgeous men of the Sabers up on the block! It's clear that Keira is eyeing Blue for her date, but guest star Angela Simmons may have her eye on him too! Angela gossips with her friend, saying that Keira is no competition for her, seeing as she's a washed up child star with no money. Keira overhears her, and is determined to prove her wrong!

Meanwhile, Tasha freaks out about the ratchetness of the event (I mean, the Sunbeam prez Jazz is serving pigs in a blanket for appetizers).  However, Pookie is there to calm her down. He loves her, but still has no idea that she's cheating on him.

On the auction block, Blue is first up, and the ladies are ready to bid on that number one draft pick for sure! Blue himself opens up the bidding at $10,000. Angela and Keira go back and forth in the bid, with Keira eventually outbidding her with $75,000.

Later, Chardonnay tells Tasha needs to think twice about her rendezvous with Rick Fox (Pookie might send her to a hospital using only a cell phone like he did a guy at the party!). That night though, Tasha has sex with Rick again in spite of Chardonnay's warning.

Meanwhile, Keira goes shopping at a high end store, but it's clear that she's shopping on a budget after blowing all that money! Tasha and Chardonnay end up at the store, and Tasha confesses that she is still messing with Rick. She is in love with two men clearly. They spot Keira and get her advice, and Keira thinks that whoever the woman is is a total trashbox. Chardonnay talks about her own double love, but Keira believes in transparency when it comes to relationships. Meanwhile, the ladies get Keira to try on a gorgeous dress that is clearly past her budget.

Later, Keira goes out on her date with Blue, where he calls her out on paying 75 G's. The waitress tells her that her tag is out, which Keira clearly kept on to return it later. Her tag keeps popping out, and Blue rips it out for her, accidentally spilling her wine in the process! Needless to say, the night is ruined.

Tasha later goes over to Chardonnay's and tells her she appreciates her having her back. However, she brings Rick over there to have sex. Chardonnay is shocked, and tells Tasha her house isn't a sleazy hotel. However, Tasha flips out on her, saying that it was all Chardonnay's idea for making it seem like it was okay to be in love with two guys. She takes a picture of Rick sitting on the couch to implicate Chardonnay in the whole thing and plans to use her house as a getaway for them. Tasha is being unbelievably reckless with both Rick and Pookie's feelings. I say that even if you are in love with both of them, work out a friends with benefits situation until you figure out what you really want. I know she wants them both, but cheating is not the way.

Back at Keira's room, Blue tries to cheer her up, but she is upset about not having money. She didn't have the money to bid on Blue like that in the first place. She hates the fact that she's judged all the time for being a washed up child star, and tries to keep up appearances to prove to them and herself that she's still relevant. Blue tells her that he understands the pressure of having to live up to expectations. He has no idea how to deal with it either, but believes they can help each other with that. He spots her the 75 Gs and gives her a gentlemanly kiss on the forehead. She invites him in to enjoy the rest of  their dinner together.  I love this start of their relationship. They care about each other, even though they're not together...yet. It's so sweet to watch!

The trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the anticipated sequel to one of the, if not the biggest, films of last year, premiered last night at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, which was hosted by Rebel Wilson. Just from the two minute sneak peak, we can see that this sequel definitely holds the exciting drama just like its predecessor!

Picking up from the last film, Jennifer Lawrence's character Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson's Peta Malark are announced as the victors of the 74th Hunger Games. But the winners don’t realize that with this win comes danger to their lives. "She just wants to save her skin, simple as that," says President Snow, played by Donald Sutherland. "She has become a beacon of hope to them. She has to be eliminated."

Check out the trailer below!






Woody Harrelson, who plays Haymitch Abernath, and Elizabeth Banks, as Effie Trinket, will make an appearance. And so does bold Gale Hawthorne, played by Liam Hemsworth (YES!), and Katniss's sister, Primrose, played by Willow Sheilds.

The line "Every revolution begins with a spark" flashes across the screen before Snow states that all of the victors have to be annihilated. "Because of her," he says, "they all pose a threat. Because of her, they all think they're invincible."

I’m too excited to see this movie!!! I literally sat through the entire show wondering when they would play the trailer. The storyline is definitely dramatic and captivating, the acting impeccable, and the set absolutely incredible! Plus a dash of hot Liam Hemsworth doesn’t hurt either!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22!

Comedian Kevin Hart took to Twitter to apologize after he was arrested and locked up for a night on suspicion of drunk driving charges in Los Angeles.

"Drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter," he tweeted. "People have lost lives because of stupid s--t. This is a wake-up call for me, I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't. Everything happens for a reason."

Police said that Kevin was pulled over on California's Highway 101 freeway around 4:30 a.m. Sunday. His black Mercedes, going about 90 m.p.h., almost hit a tanker truck as Kevin was driving. He then failed a field sobriety test, and was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge and held on $5,000 bond.

The comedian that he is, Kevin made light of his arrest in the tweet. "When the cop asked me to take the sobriety test I said 'Why waste our time… I'm drunk man'… #Truestory." He added about his time spent behind bars: "I did 6,000 push ups & 13,000 sit ups while I was in the pin....shout out to my celly 'Mark' we exchanged war stories LMFAO.”

While the tweet is a little funny, being arrested for DUI is definitely not! Hope Kev learned his lesson and never does something that stupid again. Drinking and driving is not only dangerous to your life, but to others as well. Just a short PSA from me!

Yet another episode of The Game! Picking up from last week, Jason and Chardonnay have breakfast with Brittany so they will get to know each other better. Brittany, being the dramatic brat she is, is rude to Chardonnay. However, Chardonnay herself reveals that she has 80,000 in loans and Jason freaks out being the cheap wad he is. Chardonnay continues to defer her loans even though Jason will eventually end up paying for them himself as her husband.

Jason goes to interview Brice, and they eventually talk about relationships. While Brice mentions that his kiss on camera with Keira wasn't serious, Jason casually brings up his spur-of-the-moment marriage to Chardonnay. Brice quickly questions it, but then relaxes because he assumes that Jason was smart enough to get a post-nup. Not the case! The conversation got Jason thinking about who exactly he married.

That night, Jason wakes Chardonnay to talk about her outstanding loans. We realize how much this couple doesn't know about each other's lives and how they want different things (For example, Chardonnay wants kids, but Jason had a vasectomy so that's not really going to work out!). So word to the wise: don't get drunk married to anybody!

The next day, Tasha plans to bribe Chardonnay with clothes so she won't say anything about seeing Tasha and Rick kissing in the car. Chardonnay came to talk to her about Jason and that vasectomy though! However, she takes Tasha up on her offer to

Later, Malik meets up with an investor to talk about his bikini that gets rid of a wedgie for women. His stay-kini is a failure and is very uncomfortable for the model wearing it! It was a total waste of the investor's time, and he walks out, discouraging Malik.

That night, Chardonnay checks Jason's junk, and doesn't believe that he had a vasectomy. He confesses that he didn't. However, he wants to pump the brakes after finding out about her incarcerated brother and student loans on hold. It's clear that, as a couple, they have so much to talk about and get on the same page with. Chardonnay tells him that he better get on board with having a baby or she's walking out. In fact, she tells him that, while she's in the bathroom, he needs to make up his mind! Ultimatum!!

Later, Malik talks to Tee Tee about his failed idea. He's really discouraged because he has no investment or business for after he's through with the game. Tee Tee encourages him to push through and continue his path to a business. I'm actually proud that Malik is even taking this route, instead of focusing so much on girls and booze!

Meanwhile, Chardonnay marches out of the bathroom, demanding an answer from Jason. He always had his life planned out, and Chardonnay was completely opposite of the plan. Life doesn't always happen like we plan, but Chardonnay refuses to give up her dreams of having kids. Jason decides that he wants to step outside of what he knows, and reluctantly decides to have a baby with Chardonnay because he wants to keep her in his life. They decide to wait a few years until Brittany leaves the house, but they both are excited!

NBC has announced that Jay Leno will ending his run as host of The Tonight Show! After 22 years, Jay will be stepping down in spring 2014, with Jimmy Fallon replacing him. NBC confirmed reports of the switch in a statement today.


"Jay Leno is an entertainment icon, making millions of people laugh every weeknight for more than 20 years. His long reign as the highest-rated late-night host is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to his viewers and to NBC," said Steve Burke, Chief Executive Officer of NBC Universal. "We are purposefully making this change when Jay is no. 1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was no. 1."

"Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time," he continued. "I'm thrilled he will become the sixth host of The Tonight Show at exactly the right moment, in conjunction with our coverage of next year's Winter Olympic Games from Sochi, Russia."

Both Jimmy and Jay were in good spirits about the move. "Congratulations Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," Jay, who took over the show from Johnny Carson in 1992, said. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage," he added.

Jimmy joked of his new time slot, "I'm really excited to host a show that starts today instead of tomorrow."

NBC says plans for Jimmy’s Late Night show at 12:35 a.m. are "currently in development and will be announced soon."

I think it's great that Jay is stepping down while he's still out on top. He's a legend in TV, and I don't want to see him going out at anything less than his prime. Jimmy will be a great host for the show when he takes over, I'm sure!

Players come and go, but The Game goes on! Picking up from last week, Pookie and Tasha have FaceTime. She is still in New York, even though the draft is over, which is weird. Pookie can tell a little bit that something's up, but plans to see her in San Diego in a few days. Then it's revealed that Rick Fox is laying right beside her, and they definitely slept together! Which isn't all that surprising, seeing as though he showed up at her door last week.

Tasha freaks out on Rick, who still clearly loves her. This wasn't random sex for him, and he wants to work things out. Tasha thinks she's made a huge mistake messing with him, but Rick calls her out, saying if she was so in love with Pookie, then what was she doing with him? TRUTH!

At the bar that night, Keira and Malik sip on ginger ale, and toast to being rich and famous. Blueprint comes in with Jason, and Keira clearly wants him nowhere around because he messed around with Ciara. Meanwhile Jason tells Blue to enjoy being young and new in the game. They chat and enjoy the night, with everyone eventually migrating over to their table, even Malik, leaving Keira behind and irritated.

The next day, Pookie surprises Tasha in her hotel room. He tries being intimate, but she pushes him away. She tries to pick a fight saying that she needs "consistency" in her life, since Pookie is a security guard for Too $hort. Pookie reiterates that he is committed to their relationship, and they both go to get tattoos of the other's names on them. It's all so stupid, and Tasha is way too old to be trying to force her feelings like this. If you love someone, be with them. Don't lead someone else on, and definitely don't get their name tattoo on you thinking that will bring y'all closer! Pookie definitely feels like something is wrong, and doesn't want to jinx it with a tattoo. He wants to be around her every day, and plans to move his security business to San Diego for her.

At the grocery store, Blue and Keira run into each other (such a coinky dink!). Blue tries to talk to her about New York, and Keira feels like he embarrassed her by sleeping with her friend. She wants them both to go their separate ways, and he agrees. However, later, she sees him moving into her building!

That night, Pookie and Tasha go back to her hotel room. Tasha gets flowers from Rick, and hides it from Pookie. She calls Rick, and tells him to meet her in an hour. She shows Rick her "Pook" tattoo, and they end up making out and having sex in the car regardless. Tasha keeps telling him that she loves Pookie, but she's only trying to convince herself, knowing that she still loves Rick. The ball is in her court. Chardonnay sees her and Rick Fox in the parking lot, and it's not clear if she plans to run her mouth about it or not yet!

In the garage, Keira's car is stuck right when she has to make it to an audition. Of course, Blue sees her as she is trying to change her tire, laughs, and seemingly drives off. However, he comes back to help her out, and gives him her jacket to wear too. He tells her that he understands that she's pissed, and tells her it was just one night. Keira, at first, doesn't want to hear it, but tells him that if he fixes her tire, they can throw in a couple of "pleasantries" here and there. Eventually, they'll get together, but I actually like seeing their progression towards being a couple. They're cute together!

 Glee's Heather Morris is going to have to chill out with her dancing for a while! The former Beyonce backup dancer turned actress is pregnant with her first child, a source confirms exclusively with Us Weekly. "She's a little more than three months along and starting to show," the source said.

The dad-to-be is the star's longtime boyfriend Taylor Hubbell, whom she met in high school.

"It was totally unexpected, but they are incredibly happy and excited," the source said.

Heather, who plays ditzy yet lovable cheerleader Brittany on the FOX hit show, has talked about starting a family with her man for a while, even if it means giving up her career. "I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him,"she told Fitness in 2011. "I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue."

A second friend says the couple have no plans to wed just yet, but a march down the aisle might not be that far away. The source said: "I see it in their future."

Congrats to Heather and Taylor and their families!

Finding Nemo is making a comeback! Disney and Pixar announced today that the movie is getting a sequel with the upcoming release of Finding Dory!

“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” said Ellen DeGeneres, who voices Dory, in a statement. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”
Finding Dory is reportedly set on the California coastline, one year after Finding Nemo (though the movie first came out in 2003). The animated flick will include many of the characters from the first film, such as Marlin, the Tank Gang, and of course, Nemo. Andrew Stanton will direct the film, with Albert Brooks, who voiced Marlin in the first film, returning as well.
Finding Nemo was a huge success for Disney and Pixar. The movie, now considered a Disneey classic to the younger generations, took home a total worldwide gross of $921.7 million, and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Finding Dory will hit theaters on Nov. 25, 2015!

Yes, the kid in me unashamedly does want to see this. And, if you’re just honest with yourself, you kind of do too!

What do you think about the sequel?

Chris Brown has officially released his new song "Fine China," and, in a surprise move, the video on the same day! The single is the first on Breezy's upcoming album, X, set to be released on RCA Records later this year.

The video, which is in mini movie form, tells the story of forbidden love between Chris and his female lead. Of course, we see Chris' signature dancing styles, incorporating moves form the late great Michael Jackson as well. Also featuring a well choreographed fight scene, the video eventually ends on an tense cliffhanger between Chris and the father of his girlfriend!

Check out the video below!


LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! It's upbeat, catchy, and fun to dance too! The video was great too...and I'm very curious to see if the cliffhanger is resolved!

It has been revealed that Glee’s Cory Monteith has checked into rehab. "Cory Monteith has voluntarily admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction," his rep said in a statement. "He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery."

It’s not the first time that Cory has struggled with this issue. In a revealing 2011 interview with Parade, the actor revealed that he dropped out of school at age 16 and starting using drugs and alcohol heavily. "I burned a lot of bridges," he admitted. As for his drug use, Cory also revealed he did "anything and everything, as much as possible . . . I had a serious problem.

Fearing he "could die," his family and friends staged an intervention when he was 19. "That's when I first went to rehab," he told Parade. "I did the stint but then went back to doing exactly what I left off doing." He reached rock bottom when he was caught stealing "a significant amount of money from a family member . . . I was so desperate I didn't care. It was a cry for help," he revealed. Given an ultimatum by his family -- get clean and sober or be turned over to cops – Cory finally got his life together, got a job as a roofer, and began working with an acting coach. However, it’s so easy to relapse, and, unfortunately, it has happened for Cory.

This just goes to show that as much as we report and keep up with celebrities, we really don’t know their personal lives and struggles. However, I really do hope that Cory gets the help that he needs. Substance abuse is no small thing. This isn’t about Glee or his career. This is important to his life. Thoughts and prayers lifted up to him, as well as his loved ones, through this difficult time.
