Good Morning America featured a very special performance on Friday. About three months after Chris Cornell killed himself , the late singer's 12-year old daughter appeared on the ABC program and teamed with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder for a moving rendition of the classic ballad “Hallelujah.” The track was also performed as a tribute to Chester Bennington, a good friend of Cornell's who tragically also killed himself via hanging out this summer. Linkin Park was scheduled to perform on the show, but OneRepublic filled in after the band canceled their tour and concert dates in the wake its frontman's death. “This is just an honor to be here,” Tedder told GMA's Lara Spencer, noting how he had met Bennington a few times and was good friends with Cornell. “I was lucky enough to write and produce with [Cornell], and get to know him and his family over the years. He was even in one of our videos.” Cornell's little girl also spoke ahead of her and OneRepublic's song dedication, telling GMA: “It's an honor to perform this for my dad and for Chester and to sing for them.” “Hallelujah” was the single that Bennington performed at Cornell's funeral in May, just a few weeks before Bennington was found dead of his own suicide at the age of 41. He committed the sad act on what would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday. Members of the sizable GMA crowd started to shed tears this morning as Toni belted out the lyrics of this sad track in a somber tone, one very similar to her father’s. A month after Cornell’s death, Toni and her 17-year sister, Lillian Jean, penned letters to the late Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman in observance of Father’s Day. “Let me start by saying how much I love you and how much you mean to me,” Toni wrote alongside a photo collage of herself with Cornell through the years, adding: “You are my idol, someone I’ve always looked up to. You were always there for me. You pushed me forward every day, and you still do.” Sad stuff all around. Watch Toni's emotional performance below:

Kanye West Wanted N-Word On Every ‘Watch The Throne’ Song Title The king of controversy, Kanye West , had BIG plans for his collaborative album with his “Big Brother” Jay Z. During an interview on ItsTheReal’s (Jeff and Eric Rosenthal) A Waste Of Time podcast, publisher David Cho revealed some interesting info about the making of Watch The Throne and the incendiary plans Kanye had for the track list: “We’re gonna put the N-word in every single title on this album, so everyone has to say it and they have to confront it.” Ultimately, as you know, the only song title on the album to contain the n-word as the hit “Ni**as In Paris”, which Jay Z wanted to title “Ball So Hard”. While Kanye might have been wildin’ with his ni**er-infused track list, it appears that his idea worked pretty well for that one song. What do you think? Hate it, or love it? Image via Getty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXAmnbBTGCQ DJ Zeke Shares Story Of Being Drugged, Raped By Man In His Chicago Apartment This story is so scary and what makes it most frightening is that ISH like this happens EVERY DAY! It’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month and we were definitely taken aback after reading about Zeke Thomas (real name Josh) who is a DJ and musician and also happens to be the son of Detroit Pistons legend Isaiah Thomas. Thomas deserves to be applauded for his bravery after coming forward to share his rape survival story. He was a guest on “Good Morning America” this week and is also appearing in a sexual assault prevention PSA. But honestly, there is nothing like the rawness of the interview he did with NY Magazine’s The Cut… Hit the flip to read excerpts. https://instagram.com/p/BTUGpnlFyly/?taken-by=thecut Via The Cut: “We had chatted on Grindr, and I had invited him to come by my studio since he was a singer,” he says. “Nothing against Grindr. I’ve met great people on Grindr, I’ve had sex with great people on Grindr. I can’t blame an app. But you don’t know sh** about people you meet on it.” In any case, they’d not hooked up right away. “He seemed like a great guy. We hung out at the recording studio. And then a couple of days later he said, let’s go to Boys Town,” the gayborhood in Chicago, “for a drink.” He felt safe there: He’d had DJ gigs there. He knew bartenders. But by the time he realized something was wrong it was too late. “All I remember is … getting in the cab. I know that I got drugged. I knew probably the moment that it happened because something didn’t taste right. But I didn’t think about it. I just didn’t think about it.” The next thing he knew it was the next morning. “It was literally like with Bill Cosby. When those women were like: ‘I woke up and he was fixing me breakfast or whatever.’” He pauses for a while, and then continues, quietly. “I woke up and he was handing me a glass of water and saying, ‘That was great let’s hang out again.’” He noticed that his dog was shut outside on his balcony, barking. And the guy leaves. Insane. WHY are some people so evil? We all deserve to have a CHOICE about who we allow access to our bodies. The story goes into even more graphic detail. https://instagram.com/p/BTT0X-xlxC_/?taken-by=zeke_thomas “My a** was destroyed. Destroyed. I’m bleeding,” Thomas recalls. “And I’m just like — terrified. I can’t move. I didn’t move from my apartment for two days. I didn’t move. I didn’t talk to anybody. I froze.” When he went to find the guy on Grindr, he either had blocked him or removed himself from the app. Just pure evil. We really wish Thomas HAD pressed charges, because the person who did that to him deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. As you heard in the interview with Robin Roberts, the assault sent DJ Zeke into a downward spiral of drug abuse and emotional distress (both understandable). The fact that this was his second time he had been sexually assaulted makes the situation even more upsetting. This man really went THROUGH it. There are so many other people out there suffering like this, these stories HAVE to be told. What more do you think we need to do as a community to end the stigma against victims, especially male ones?

Ray J tried to warn us. About a month ago, word leaked that Ray J and Chris Brown were in the studio, working together on a track that would take Kim Kardashian , Kanye West and others to major task. In an interview with Billboard, Ray J opened up about the song, which would be titled “Famous,” and why he felt a need to come out with it. “You can’t fault me and Chris for responding to all the things that have been done about us [in the media] over the last few months,” the artist said. We think he was mostly referring to Kanye’s own “Famous” song, the one whose music video featured a naked Ray J body double. Apparently very upset by this portrayal, Ray J dropped his latest single on Apple Music on Monday… … and it’s truly incredible. Once again referring to the Kim Kardashian sex tape in which he played a prominent role, Ray J holds nothing back in this vengeful song, which is filled with pointed, X-Rated lyrics. To wit: “She f-ck me for fame, look in her eyes/She was the first one to sign on the line.” In this excerpt, Ray J is stating his case that Kardashian knew exactly what she was doing when she let him videotape their sexual encounter way back in the day. He’s claiming the plan all along was to release this sex tape to the public and cash in on future fame and royalties. The hilarious artist goes on to rap: “Look at the family, they walk around proud/All because she had my dick in her mouth.” Like we said: WOW . Also: LOL ! “Wanna have me in bed while you f-ckin’ your spouse,” Ray J continues. “Shows that you still a rat and your man Mickey Mouse.” Some may assert that this isn’t the best time for Ray J to come out with such scathing lyrics. We’re about six weeks removed from Kardashian having been robbed at gunpoint in Paris, while Kanye was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation just hours after this track went viral But we somehow doubt Ray J cares very much. This is the same man who also released a track in 2013 titled ” I Hit It First .” We don’t need to explain what/who this was a reference to, do we? View Slideshow: 9 People Made Famous by the Kardashians Ray J is now a married man. He tied the know with someone named Princess Love this year, as documented on Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. But it’s clear he’s never fully gotten over Kardashian. We don’t necessarily mean that he’s still in love with his famous ex-girlfriend. But she’s clearly on his mind more so than is healthy. Does this make sense, given how often she’s in the news and given that one could argue she’s only in said news because she spread her legs for Ray J on video? Absolutely. But, for his own mental health, Ray J may be better served to just let it go already. Then again… what are we saying?!? The guy just released a song in which he mocked the Kardashians for being all high and mighty and rich and proud, all because Kim once gave him a blow job. That’s hilarious! You keep doing you, Ray J. Never change.

Last week, Jon Gosselin shocked fans when he publicly accused is ex-wife Kate Gosselin of holding their son Collin hostage . Jon claimed that he had no information about his son’s whereabouts, and that Kate had refused to tell him where the boy was living. “I have an idea where he is but I don’t really know where he is,” Jon said in an interview that aired Wednesday. “I mean, I ask but she doesn’t tell me. She doesn’t answer any of my texts.” Kate responded that Collin is just fine , and took the opportunity to throw some serious shade at Jon. She insists that Jon is using Collin’s recent behavioral issues as an excuse to call her competency as a mother into question and portray himself as the more concerned parent. In response to Jon’s threats of pursuing legal action, Kate blasted her ex in an interview on Good Morning America yesterday: “I’ve lost track of how many times he’s said that,” Kate told GMA of Jon. “I’m really focused less on what Jon has to say. I don’t really pay attention, to be honest.” Jon has yet to respond to her latest criticism. Instead, as promised, he’s letting his lawyers do the talking: “Jon is bound by the court order,” his attorney, Kristin Doleva-Lecher recently told Us Weekly. “Needless to say, certain comments and statements that are being made are very upsetting to Jon, but given his obligation to the court order, there is not much he can do right now.” She added that Jon is also “very upset by certain statements made to the press” and that he feels “the whole story is not being told.” Insiders believe Jon was not exaggerating when he claimed to be unaware of his son’s whereabouts. Kate insists that he’s and that both parents know where Collin is – but that she’s prohibited from saying anything more by court order. “We are both court ordered not to speak about the care and custody of our children in detail, I’ve known all along where [Collin] is, but the world doesn’t know, and I’ll leave it at that,” she told GMA. Now, it looks as though if Jon gets his way, Kate may soon be forced to reveal what she knows in front of a judge.
The rest is here:

Although the final rose ceremony of Season 21 hasn’t even been filmed yet, The Bachelor spoilers are already rolling in and then some. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. That’s right, per The Bachelor spoilers guru and legendary blogger Reality Steve, the members of Nick Viall’s final four are revealed! Along with the WINNER! Already! As you’re probably heard by now, Nick is back for a third (or we suppose fourth, if you include Bachelor in Paradise ) crack at TV love. After being rejected by Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe on back-to-back The Bachelorette finales, he’s handing out the roses this time! No rejection of Nick at the final rose ceremony this time, at least … although we suppose he could theoretically get turned down again. Which would be unlikely, but pretty epic TV. Just saying. Anyway, the premiere won’t air until next YEAR (albeit the second day of next year, which isn’t THAT far away), but Steve did it again. Right now, Nick is filming his overnight dates, which means Viall is down to just three women (all of whom he will probably sleep with). Anyway, who are his final four women this season? 1. Rachel Lindsay from Dallas, Texas, who would be the first African-American to ever make the final four if The Bachelor spoilers are true. 2. Corinne Olympios of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 3. Raven Gates from Hoxie, Arkansas. 4. Vanessa Grimaldi of Montreal, Canada. The order in which The Bachelor eliminates three of the four ladies listed about remains to be seen, but those are Nick’s chosen four. Like Ben Higgins’ season, when spoilers indicated that the final pick was a “done deal” even before filming wrapped, is that the case here? Oh yes, according to the ultimate insider. Of Rachel Lindsay, Raven Gates, Vanessa Grimaldi, and Corinne Olympios, he has a clear favorite. Montreal special education teacher and actress Vanessa Grimaldi, 29, was the obvious final pick early on, and “definitely” will prevail. Or so we’re told. “What I can tell you from everything I’m hearing so far is this: Vanessa is going to win,” Steve writes, and the man is never wrong. Okay, he has been sometimes, but when you look at the entire body of work over the last 6-7 years, he’s been pretty incredible. “I told you midway through Ben’s season I was hearing it was a done deal with Lauren,” he adds, “and that ended up panning out.” Indeed it did. Moreover, the spoilers titan notes that he “told you last season it was basically the JoJo and Jordan show, and that ended up panning out as well.” Truth. Now, for the upcoming iteration, he’s all but guaranteeing that this is over and done with again, before the first girl steps out of a limo. “From what I’ve been told,” Steve writes on his blog , “Nick is going to pick Vanessa in the end [and I] can’t say I’m the least bit surprised.” What is it about Vanessa that gives Nick Viall that magical feeling? Will this finally be the year for the unlucky-in-love franchise veteran? Time will tell. View Slideshow: 20 Hottest Bachelors in ABC History: Who’s #1?! In the meantime, we’ll be updating The Bachelor spoilers anytime more information comes in this winer, and you best believe it will. And hard.

Because he kissed up to The Donald, the future for Billy Bush is all but over at The Today Show. According to both The Hollywood Reporter and The Los Angeles Times, the embattled anchor is negotiating his way off the morning program. It is expected that he will leave under what both sides will likely deem some kind of “mutual” arrangement, with a buyout involved and Bush avoiding the fate of actually being fired. But his departure comes as no surprise. Bush has been in the center of the news for all the wrong reasons for several days now. On Friday afternoon, The Washington Post released a video from 2005. It featured Bush and Donald Trump laughing about the latter’s sexual exploits with women, as Bush egged Trump on and found his description of how he just grabs a female by the genitals whenever he feels like it to be hilarious. Totally cool and awesome and hilarious. The stars were aboard an Access Hollywood bus, on the way to the set of Days of Our Lives, when Bush spotted Arianne Zucker. “Sheesh, your girl’s hot as sh-t. In the purple. Yes! The Donald has scored,” Bush said like an absolute moron upon seeing Zucker, with whom Trump was to film a cameo. You can watch the idiotic and immature exchange between Bush and Trump below: Donald Trump & Billy Bush: Lewd Comments Caught on Video Soon after the tape went viral and Trump’s campaign when into a tailspin, Bush issued an apology. “Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed,” he said on Friday. “It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago – I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.” As far as apologies go, it’s a solid one. It’s simple, contrite and to the point. But it also appears to be a case of way too little, way too late. According to The Los Angeles Times, female producers and personalities on The Today Show made it known since this news broke that they don’t want to work with Bush. A previous report had said Bush wasn’t very popular on set even before this video went public. With Today locked in an ongoing ratings battle with Good Morning America, the program cannot afford this kind of publicity. It also cannot afford guests canceling an appearance with Bush and heading over to GMA instead. Bush only joined NBC News in August as co-host of the show’s third hour, alongside Al Roker and Tamron Hall; it didn’t help his cause that Bush was so new to the series. “He doesn’t have enough time there to warrant anyone of substance going out of their way to help him,” said a Times insider. It’s also worth noting that females represent 68% of the audience in this third hour. So it’s pretty easy math and logic. It’s not hard to see why producers saw no way to move forward with Bush. The annoying host has allegedly been distraught ever since the video emerged last week, but he’ll probably end up with a big six or even seven-figure buyout check after all is said and done. So life could be worse for Billy Bush. It also helps a little that the other men on this scandalous video is running to be President of the United States. Donald Trump has sucked up most of the negative attention, similar to how Bush is sucking up to him in the video. Both of these guys suck, pretty much. Donald Trump: Caught Making VERY Lewd Comments What are the odds that Bush ends up working for the “news” network you just know Trump will start after he loses the election? We put them at 3:1.
