Reese Witherspoon Jokes She Has "Three Legs" on Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue Cover


Reese Witherspoon revealed some surprising news on Thursday...she has three legs!
The Big Little Lies actress appears on the cover of Vanity Fair's 2018 Hollywood Issue, released Thursday morning, alongside Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Zendaya, Michael B. Jordan, Jessica Chastain, Claire Foy, Michael Shannon, Harrison Ford, Gal Gadot and Robert De Niro. After the cover was revealed, one fan noted that it looks like Reese has more than two legs in the cover photo.

Inside Melania Trump's Mysterious First Year at the White House

Of all the people whose 2017 involved a move to the White House, Melania Trumpis easily the most popular.
The first lady's approval rating soared to 54 percent last month, while only one-third of Americans said they had an "unfavorable" view of her, according to the results of a Gallup poll released Dec. 15. Thirteen percent claimed to have no opinion on the matter. She even captured a thumbs-up from 35 percent of Democrats polled, while only 8 percent of that group had a "favorable" view of President Donald Trump.
And it's not a big leap to think that a number of those who say they don't care for Melania Trump are thinking more about her husband when they say that. Because on her own, Melania Trump hasn't engaged in any controversial behavior—aside from supporting the president, his critics would say—or really any headline-making behavior at all other than the requisite "the first lady went here, said this and wore that" stories.
On her own she's your basic boring celebrity—which isn't necessarily a bad thing. She always looks impeccably pulled together, and there are numerous blogs and Instagram accounts dedicated to chronicling her style. Her fashion choices have continued to be high-end and higher-end, with the handful of designers who stated early on that they wouldn't dress her not making a dent in her wardrobe full of Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino and Christian Louboutin. She chose Hervé Pierre, who also designed for first ladies Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama, as her fashion advisor. The French-American designer, who crafted Melania's ivory Inauguration Ball gown last year, said in an interview, "In the news, we speak a lot of politics, so if for a moment we can forget about it and enjoy something else, why not?"
Her glamorous aesthetic has won Melania Trump comparisons to Jacqueline Kennedy in the annals of first lady style, a compliment she presumably has welcomed since years ago she surmised that, should she ever be first lady, she'd be "very traditional," like Kennedy or Betty Ford.

Casey Affleck to Skip 2018 Oscars and Not Present Award After Controversy

Casey Affleck will not attend the 2018 Oscars following last year's controversy over his first Oscar win.
The actor had last year won the Best Actor award for his role in Manchester by the Sea. According to Oscars tradition, the previous year's Best Actor winner presents the Best Actress Oscar. Affleck was supposed to present the award this year but has withdrawn from the 2018 event on March 4, Deadline and Variety reported on Thursday.
The actor and director's rep confirmed to E! News that Affleck will not attend the ceremony but offered no further comment. A rep for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed the withdrawal to Variety.
Affleck's 2017 Oscar win was marred by controversy; in the weeks leading up to the ceremony, the media made mention of how in 2010, two women who worked on his Joaquin Phoenix documentary I'm Still Here sued him for sexual harassment. Affleck denied the claims and the cases were settled out of court. After his Oscar win, there was a backlash on Twitter.
Affleck's decision to skip the 2018 Oscars comes about three months after a slew of sexual assault and harassment allegations were made against famed producer Harvey Weinstein, which inspired scores of others to go public with similar accusations against other powerful men in and outside of Hollywood and which helped birth the #MeToo movement and Time's Up campaign to combat sexual misconduct.
The accusations of sexual harassment against Affleck have been highlighted again in recent months and a Change.org petition titled "Don't let Casey Affleck hand off the 2018 Best Actress Oscar" was started.
In November, Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Claudia Eller asked Academy CEO Dawn Hudson if the organization was "giving any thought" to the Affleck situation, to which she responded, "Yes, we are. Of course we are. We're giving thought to all of this," according to Page Six.
Deadline quoted sources as saying that Affleck did not want to become a distraction from the focus that should be on the performances of the actresses in the category. The outlet said he was in a no-win situation, with all the attention surrounding the #MeToo movement. Affleck has not commented on the report.
After Affleck's 2017 Oscar win, many critics on Twitter posted about how Brie Larson, an advocate for sexual assault survivors and who had won a Best Actress Oscar in 2016 for her portrayal of a rape survivor in Room, had appeared upset and had not applauded him when she presented him with his award. It marked the second honor she had presented to him that awards season.
"I think that whatever it was that I did onstage kind of spoke for itself," Larson told Vanity Fair last March. "I've said all that I need to say about that topic."
After the 2017 Oscars, Affleck talked The Boston Globe about the controversy, saying that none of the people who condemned him online know what happened, saying, "I believe that any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else."
"There's really nothing I can do about it," he added. "Other than live my life the way I know I live it and to speak to what my own values are and how I try to live by them all the time."

You're 5 Steps Away From Shakira-Inspired Voluminous Curls

It's no secret that Shakira's voluminous curly hair plays a major role in her appeal.
Big, blonde, full of curls—the Grammy-nominated artist's natural hair texture is a part of her signature look. Her sensational locks stand as an example of the beauty of volume and texture, even in a world that commonly pushes people to be frizz-free. It has a carefree nature and effortlessness that continues to make an impact on the red carpet, as well as aligns to the natural hair movement that has gained more momentum this award season.
The best part: If you weren't born with voluminous curls like the El Dorado singer, the look is easy to achieve.

James Corden Talks Hosting Grammys Again and What He'll Do Differently

The Late Late Show's James Corden is your host for the 2018 Grammy Awards, marking his second time hosting the ceremony, and he is ready to help viewers celebrate the biggest night in music...swiftly.
No, really. The show is a whopping 3.5 hours long.
"I'm gonna try and do it all a bit quicker, 'cause, you know, it doesn't need to be longer, does it?" he told E! News exclusively.
"I think what we learned last year, is what I felt like perhaps we already knew but it sort of solidified it for us, is that the most important thing as a host of this show is to play the show, is to play this show," he said. "You've got to leave your ego at the door really and you just can't make it all about you. You've just got to...celebrate these great artists. It's not about a host, it's not about who's hosting the Grammys, it's who's performing."
The Grammys will be held at Madison Square Garden, marking the first time in 15 years that the ceremony will take place in New York. Corden had hosted the 2017 Grammy Awards in its longtime home of Los Angeles.
"It's certainly colder," he joked about New York. There's no denying it is a colder experience."
"I think it's gonna be great. I've never been in Madison Square Garden before. I've never set foot in there. I went in yesterday. You can't help but be blown away by the history of that building," he told E! News. "To bring the Grammys to New York for the first time in 15 years, to be lucky enough to host it...if I could tell my 12-year-old self that this would be his life, his head would explode."
 The 2018 Grammy Awards will air live on CBS on Sunday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
Tune in to E!'s Grammys Countdown show starting at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT Sunday, Jan. 28, followed by our two-hour Live From the Red Carpet: 2018 Grammy Awards special at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT.

Elton John Talks Prince Harry Falling in Love and Losing Princess Diana

Elton John is awaiting his invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming wedding.
The legendary singer, who was friends with Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, and has worked with the royal on various projects over the years, was asked about Harry and Meghan's wedding during an interview on ITV's Lorraine Thursday.
"I spent some time with him at Google camp in Sicily last summer and I could tell that he was totally in love," Elton shared. He then added that Harry didn't reveal too much about his relationship with Meghan, but Harry did tell Elton at the time that he's in love.
"And I thought, 'Good for you,'" Elton said in the interview. "Both those boys seem to have be ecstatically happy and that's all you want people to be, no matter who they are. When people get married, you want it to last, you want them to be happy. I'm happy for him, I hope they have a wonderful day."
So will Elton be attending the wedding?
The singer revealed he hasn't been invited just yet but that it would be "nice" to attend.
"Both of those boys are very special to me because of their mother," he shared. "He's a good boy, his heart's in the right place and all you want is for people to be happy."

Princess Diana passed away 20 years ago in August 1997. During Elton's interview, he talked about the 20th anniversary of her death and how he remembers her.
"She was just loved by people because she had that great ability, which her son Prince Harry has inherited, where she could walk into a room of people and make them feel at ease as if she'd known them all her life or all their life," Elton said. "And that's an incredible talent to have."
Elton went on to add that Diana was a "great friend" to him and though the duo had a falling out they reconciled before her death.
Watch the video above to see Elton talk about Harry, Diana and his recent farewell tour announcement.

Inside Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's New Normal After Breaking Up for Good

First comes love, then comes a breakup and then comes the new normal.
While we wish every fairytale relationship would last forever, life sometimes has a way of complicating things. Look no further than Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian who tried—and we mean tried—to keep their romance alive.
But even with three children, the pair realized that things just weren't working out. It led to Kourtney breaking things off once and for all.
"I think the moral of the story is we are never getting back together," she shared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Fast-forward to today where Kourtney is enjoying time with boyfriend Younes Bendjima. Scott is getting serious with Sofia Richie. And yes, the exes are keeping the peace for their children.
"Well, we're not together," Kourtney previously shared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I feel like every day is different, but we're totally getting along. Like, we have three beautiful kids together...But, you know, he's family. He'll always be."
That family spirit has allowed Scott to attend family events including Mason's eighth birthday party last month at a Southern California bowling alley.
In fact, Scott even scored an invite to Kris Jenner's Christmas Eve bash that included Younes in attendance. Before you imagine awkward or dramatic moments, a source shared at the time that there really was peace on earth.
"Scott and Kourtney get along very well. There was no drama at all at the party between them," our insider shared. "At this point, the Kardashians are his family too. Scott is more part of the family than Younes is, that much is clear even just based on how he was interacting with everyone."
Even though their kids remain the priority, both Kourtney and Scott find themselves enjoying vacations with their new significant others.
Just last weekend, Kourtney enjoyed a kids-free weekend at the Imanta Resort in Mexico with Younes. "It was a very peaceful and relaxing weekend where they got to be completely alone and escape all stresses," one source explained to us.
As for Scott and Sofia, they recently spent New Year's weekend in Aspen where they were photographed holding hands and enjoying the snow. And yes, they also went to Mexico earlier this month for a PDA-filled getaway.
While recent episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians have chronicled tense moments between Kourtney and Scott, it's clear that these two will always be in each other's lives.
And for those wondering if there is any sort of chance that these two could ever get back together, we'll let the fans decide on that one.
"You wanna make out?" Scott joked to Kourtney after a tense argument on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "When do you think we're going to get married by the way?"
Khloe Kardashian added, "You two are so f--king nuts seriously. And the fact that you waste my time when you guys are now just gonna go get mani/pedis." Welcome to 2018, Khlo.
Keeping Up With the Kardashians returns Sunday, Feb. 11 at 9 p.m.!

 Reba McEntire "Absolutely" Wants to Work With Kelly Clarkson and Dolly Parton Again

Reba McEntire "Absolutely" Wants to Work With Kelly Clarkson and Dolly Parton Again


Paging Dolly Parton and Kelly Clarkson. A country music legend would love to work with you again.
While Reba McEntire is busy supporting her new gospel album Sing It Now, the singer is already thinking about what's next.
As it turns out, she would absolutely be open to working with a few familiar faces.
"Touring with Dolly? Wouldn't that be a hoot? Yah, I would consider that in a heartbeat. I love Dolly Parton," Reba shared with E! News. "When I was doing the Reba TV show, Dolly spent the whole week with us on set. She was one of the guest stars and that's the last time we really got to sit down and visit."
Speaking of Reba, would the star like to share the big screen with Dolly if the project was right?


"Absolutely! Sure I would," Reba explained. "Anywhere you can go in the world and you say Dolly—you don't have to say Dolly Parton—everybody knows Dolly and everybody loves Dolly. Why wouldn't you want to hang with her?" Another special friend who is always a pleasure to hang with is Kelly. For those unaware of the family connection, Reba's step-son Brandon Blackstock is married to the American Idol winner. And back in 2008, Kelly joined Reba on the road for the 2 Worlds 2 Voices tour. While schedules are booked for the time being, Reba would love the chance to explore more cities with Kelly. "Doing another tour would be a blast," she explained.

Khloe Kardashian Admits Her Cellulite Is ''Way More Prominent'' While Pregnant

Khloe Kardashianisn't afraid to address the realities of her changing figure.
The E! reality star, who is pregnant with her and boyfriend Tristan Thompson's first child, took to Twitter Thursday with a few candid confessions about her physique. Khloe admitted to having cellulite on her legs, quoting an explanation that read, "'Pregnancy may make cellulite look worse for a while, because the weight that you gain in pregnancy could make it more noticeable.'"
She continued, "I feel like I've always had cellulite but it's way more prominent at the moment."
On a positive note, Khloe said she hasn't gotten stretch marks, which she attributes to being "chubby" years ago.

"So far no stretch marks," the mom-to-be tweeted. "So I'm happy about that the perks of being chubby previously. Lol my tummy knows how to stretch."
Khloe added, "Don't mind me... just growing a human over here!! Still, I almost can't believe it. I know im a nerd but im just so excited."
Ever since the 33-year-old went public with her pregnancy in December, KoKo (who is quickly approaching the 7-month mark) has kept fans up to date on the ups and downs of her journey to baby.
As was the case before she became pregnant, Khloe's overall health and wellness is a main priority ahead of giving birth. She described on her app, "Being pregnant, it's a whole different type of self-care. I still exercise to maintain my sanity and also to feel good about myself, but my workouts are not as intense as they once were."
Kardashian explained, "I'm also eating differently because, of course I have cravings, but I want to make sure I'm supplying my baby with the proper nutrients. So I'm focused on being healthy mind, body and soul for myself and the baby."
Cellulite or no cellulite, Khloe is so excited to become a mom and it certainly shows!

Grey's Anatomy Tackles a Whole Bunch of Heartbreak at Once

What. An. Episode.
Tonight's Grey's Anatomy did not even sort of go in the direction we thought it was going, thanks to those promos we've been seeing all week after it definitely looked like Jo and Alex ran over her abusive ex, Paul.
But very quickly, Paul's fiancee Jenny found Jo and thanked her, only to be confused when Jo completely denied having put Paul in the hospital. Then the two women bonded and went to confront the recovering Paul together, just as he was yelling about being released.
They declared they would never speak to him again unless it was on a witness stand, which is just about when he tried to get out of bed, tripped over many wires, and hit his head on the end of the bed, leaving him brain dead. And guess who's still married to him, meaning she has power of attorney.
Jo. Frickin'. Wilson.
This isn't the fallout we were expecting, but damn was it a fascinating fallout to watch.
Another thing we weren't expecting tonight: the return of April's ex-fiance Matthew.
So many seasons ago, April and Jackson bailed on April's barn wedding to the kind and very boring EMT named Matthew, and now he's got a new wife who just happened to show up in April's ER in very late labor. April delivered the baby just after discovering who the woman was, but later, the woman's blood pressure fell, and Robbins had to rush her into emergency surgery. She didn't survive. 
And then there was more heartbreak, thanks to a 12 year-old black boy who came into the ER after being shot by police and handcuffed for trying to break into his own house when he forgot his key.
It first seemed like he was going to live, but then something went wrong, and he died. Jackson went into a fully understandable but impossibly contained rage against the racist/"biased" cops who refused to leave, and a defeated April refused to give them a statement other than the truth: they killed a kid for no reason.
The night really became all about April, who found herself confronting her belief in God after losing all of her ER patients, minus the one boy who tried to cut off his own hand because his religious beliefs made him believe masturbating was a terrible sin. She drowned her sorrows in the shower, with a guy from the bar.
As for Paul, it turns out he was hit by a drunk driver. All his organs have now been donated to people in need, allowing him to do some good after all the bad he did in life, and Jo and Jenny are now free, so at least something good happened tonight.
But damn, there are some moments from that episode that will—and should—stay with us for a while. 
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. 

Former Disney Star Arrested For Allegedly Robbing People At Gunpoint

Adam Hicks, who starred in Zeke and Luther, was arrested in Burbank, California, after robbing residents on the street, police said. 
A former Disney star has been arrested for his alleged role in a string of armed street robberies.
Adam Hicks, who played Luther Jerome Waffles in Disney’s Zeke and Luther, was arrested in Burbank, California, Wednesday after a SWAT team raided his house and recovered stolen property, police said.
Hicks starred in Disney's short-lived series about best friends who set their sights on becoming the world's best skaters. Hicks played Luther Jerome Waffles in the show.
Burbank Police said they were led to Hicks's home while investigating a string of armed robberies in the hillside community.
Hicks, 25, allegedly first approached a 52-year-old man at around 5:15 a.m. and demanded his wallet, but the man was able to escape. Hicks's 23-year-old girlfriend, Danni Tamburo, allegedly served as the getaway driver.
While police were investigating the first robbery, three additional street robberies occurred within minutes of each other, with all victims giving a similar description of the suspects and a dark-colored vehicle. An eyewitness then spotted the car within minutes and alerted police, who detained the female driver.
Stolen property was located in and around the car, as well as at Hicks's home, police said.
Hicks and Tambour were booked into the Burbank city jail on suspicion of armed robbery and are being held in lieu of $350,000 bail. Both are due in court Friday.

The Hawaii Employee Who Sent The False Missile Alert Is Refusing To Cooperate With The Investigation

An official with the Federal Communications Commission said in a US Senate hearing on Thursday that they were disappointed the employee was refusing to cooperate.
The employee who sent the false missile alert in Hawaii, causing widespread panic and confusion, is refusing to cooperate with the investigation, a federal official said Thursday.
Lisa Fowlkes, public safety bureau chief for Federal Communications Commission (FCC), told senators in a hearing that she was generally pleased with the cooperation from officials in Hawaii, but that "one key employee, the person who transmitted the false alert, is refusing to cooperate."
"We hope that person will reconsider," she said.
Richard Rapoza, a spokesman for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, where the employee works, told BuzzFeed News that he wasn't sure why there was a lack of cooperation with the FCC, since he was not privy to their communications.
"With regard to our own investigations, he has taken the position that he provided a written statement shortly after the incident, and doesn't need to speak to investigators because he has nothing to add," Rapoza said.
The alert, which stated "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL," was pushed to phones on the morning of Jan. 13, sending residents and visitors scrambling to find shelter. They left shaken and confused when they were notified after 38 minutes that it was a false alarm.
The incorrect alert was sent as part of a drill by the state's Emergency Management Agency, which is responsible for alerts and is a part of the state's Department of Defense.
Last year, Hawaii became the first state to enable push alerts for inbound missile warnings, which are part of preparedness plans made in case of an attack from North Korea.
In the initial aftermath of the alert, Hawaii Gov. David Ige said the alert was sent after an emergency management official accidentally pushed a wrong button.
"It was a procedure that occurs at the change of shift where they go through to make sure that the system is working, and an employee pushed the wrong button," Ige said.
