Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Wiz Khalifa Has A New Series Coming To Apple Music Wiz Khalifa is set to launch his very own docuseries, “Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam,” on April 17 via Apple Music. According to the announcement obtained by Variety , the series “will go into the most intimate aspects of Wiz’s life,” containing archival footage from throughout his decade-plus-long career. The series is going to feature interviews with his family and closest friends. Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam is set to debut on April 17 — which lands right between the rapper’s performances at both Coachella weekends — with all five episodes becoming available worldwide on Apple Music. The trailer takes a different approach to that of most music documentaries, showing footage of a teen Wiz at an in-store meet-and-greet attended by one person, and rapping for a handful of people at a basketball court. His mother and longtime associates talk about his early drive and dedication, even when he was performing for hardly anyone — and of course the trailer ends with him rapping the same song later in his career for thousands of people. “Taylor Gang has been with me since the start, so I wanted to make something to show just how far we’ve come,” Wiz says, talking about his fanbase and creative crew featured throughout the limited series. Executive producer Michael Strahan spoke about the project, saying, “Wiz and I both share a passion for family, friendship and hard work, and that’s exactly what you’ll see from him in this series. We’re excited to team up with Apple Music and give the world an intimate look into the rise of an entertainment icon.” Check out the trailer for Wiz Khalifa: Behind the Cam below:
When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce in 2017, both parties signed non-disclosure agreements barring them from speaking about the relationship or the breakup in interviews. But some stories are too scandalous to stay buried, and a series of lawsuits have resulted in the strange tale of one of Hollywood’s most disastrous marriages being dredged up time and time again. In December of 2018, Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she referenced the abuse she had allegedly suffered during her marriage. Though she never mentioned him by name in the piece, Depp filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard , alleging that she had violated the NDA. Last week saw the release of court documents in which Depp claimed that Heard tried to cut off his finger , amongst other allegations. Now it’s Heard’s turn to return fire, and based on a filing obtained by Page Six , she’s certainly not holding back. In the documents, Heard claims Depp “would become a totally different person, often delusional and violent. We called that version of Johnny, ‘the Monster.’” She goes on to detail a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, during which Depp “began to throw objects at me” after becoming infuriated by news that she had filmed a romantic scene with actor James Franco. “Instead of reacting to his behavior, I simply moved seats,” she said. “That didn’t stop him. He provocatively pushed a chair at me as I walked by, yelled at me, and taunted me by yelling out the name ‘James Franco.’” We racked our brains for a scene in Pineapple Express in which Heard and Franco hook up before remembering that the actors also appeared together in a second film, 2015’s The Adderall Diaries . Apparently, Depp had forgotten that he was married to an actress and was upset to learn that Heard and Franco kissed on camera. Heard goes on to claim that Depp “picked another fight with me” at the couple’s apartment in LA in 2015. She says the actor “threw another decanter at me, knocked items around the room, and punched a wall,” and alleges he “slapped me hard, grabbed me by my hair and dragged me from a stairwell to the office to the living to the kitchen to the bedroom and then to the guest room.” Heard claims that when she told Depp she wanted “to leave him, and that I would call the police if he ever touched me again,” the actor responded by “pushing me” and “head-butted me in my face.” Depp denies that he ever behaved abusively toward Heard. In a statement, Depp’s lawyers argue that he “never abused Ms. Heard, adding: “Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016. They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career.” Heard’s attorneys fired back, claiming that Depp’s lawsuit is not about the $50 million, but is rather part of a larger campaign to protect Depp’s reputation by preventing Heard from telling her story. “This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced,” they wrote in court documents. “Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.” Needless to say, it looks as though this situation will only get uglier from here. We’ll continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Johnny Depp Opens Up About Drugs, Debt, Divorce In Bonkers Interview

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation stars Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino recently sat down with noted plague enthusiast Jenny McCarthy. During the interview, they reveal that Mike Sorrentino's experience in jail has included rubbing elbows with some other famous criminals. Notably, he's become buddies with the scammer responsible for the Fyre Festival catastrophe. “Has he mentioned anything that's bad about it?” Jenny McCarthy asks of Mike Sorrentino's time behind bars. “No,” Vinny answers. “But he is in there with the guy from the Fyre Festival.” “Yep,” Pauly confirms. “And,” Vinny adds. “He's in there with the guy that leaked Jennifer Lawrence's nudes.” He clarifies: “Like, that hacked her phone.” “They play Scrabble together,” Pauly adds. This makes things a little awkward, as Jenny notes that this same scumbag “hacked my phone too!” “You want [Sorrentino] to tell him anything?” Pauly asks. Jenny certainly does. Notorious Fyre Festival scammer Billy McFarland may be extremely famous, but clearly, the phone hacker is personal for Jenny. “I have a whole list of questions for everybody,” Jenny expresses. But her interest zeroes in on the new friendship with McFarland. And Jenny even has some advice for the imprisoned reality star. “Tell Mike he’s got to get as much information on the Fyre Festival,” Jenny insists. She says that, with enough juicy intel: “He can write two books.” The boys agree. “Imagine what he's learning in there,” Vinny remarks. Pauly then jokes: “He's learning how to hack phones!” He is, of course, joking. No one should ever illegally access private photos on another's phone. But prisons are notorious for too often functioning as places where criminals refine their craft rather than reform. Billy McFarland's Fyre Festival was a fascinating catastrophe. It was the subject of two eye-opening documentaries. Netflix's documentary was controversial and arguably funnier. Hulu's doc was a deeper dive into the Fyre Festival and is widely regarded as having been more rigorous. Honestly? Both are good, in part because the disastrous festival is so fascinating. And because most of the victims are rich people who signed up for a rich-people-only festival, a lot of people don't feel bad about how things went down. We almost never say this, but … Jenny McCarthy is right. (About this particular issue … and almost only about this particular issue) Mike could absolutely write a book about his time in prison, and he has a massive fanbase who would be excited to read it. (He could of course hire a ghostwriter or even co-author it if he's not confident in his ability to physically write a book; it's not for everyone) Of course, if he writes it about McFarland, there could be some fallout. How much does he value this newfound friendship? Is it enough to turn down an opportunity to sell a bestselling tell-all book? Hopefully, the only thing that Mike is “learning in there” is a hard lesson that white collar crimes are still, you know, crimes. Vinny and Pauly were joking about him picking up new illegal skills. It's good to hear that Mike isn't miserable over his prison sentence, but he can't genuinely be having fun. Once he's out, he'll be happy to never again find himself in this … situation.

Our good sis is basically YOUNG BEYONCE! Also assured to be another box office smash, so she’s got two in one year!”- @constar24 In an interview with, W magazine: “I was really familiar with the role already, and it was great because Jon Favreau gave us a lot of freedom to make it as realistic as possible. JD McCrary, who plays young Simba, and I have such a great connection—it really was like young Simba and young Nala, best friends forever, when we met. It did feel really different from [Broadway]; you’re not in front of thousands of people,” she said. “It was a little bit easier because I could go back and switch something if I didn’t like it. With Broadway, you have to make it look like it wasn’t a mistake.” But besides being a huge movie star now, Shahadi likes to do regular teen things, like go to Sky Zone and hang out with friends at Benihana. She even has celebrity role models that she looks up to, and one of them happens to be Lupita, who coincidentally played her mom in US.

Naturi Naughton On ‘Uncensored’ Naturi Naughton has come a long way since her days in 3LW . After leaving the group in the early 2000’s, the singer went on to have a successful career as an actress and hasn’t looked back since —until now. On the latest episode of TV One’s hit show ‘Uncensored’, Naturi opened up about everything from the infamous KFC chicken wing fight with her group mates Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailon to her unsuccessful attempt to reach out to Lil Kim after portraying her in ‘Notorious’. On the KFC fight, Naturi dished: “[In our suburban] Kiely and Adrienne were in the middle aisle and I was in the back by myself. I said ‘I’m not the one that’s trying to kick me out the group. Don’t be mad that the news is out ’cause it’s true!’ There were some names called, some profanity thrown. Kiely turned around and threw the plate of food in my face. I got out the car and I was like ‘I’m going home.’ I was not given the gift to sing to deal with this ish.They drove off with that driver and left me in the parking lot, in Atlanta, Georgia. “ On reaching out to Lil Kim: “I was at the production office in Brooklyn, NY. Kim gets off the elevator. I happen to be there for rehearsal. She walks right by me with her crew, goes into the director’s office. They were arguing and yelling and I was like ‘I hope this is not about me’. But it was. I guess there was some miscommunication about the casting process. But again, I’m just an actress and I was just hired to do a part. I reached out via phone and tried that time in person. Maybe my look had something to do with it or because she thought I was darker than the character should have been.” The Power star also dished on her love for co-star and producer 50 Cent. Hit the flip to see what else she had to say. Catch season 6 of Power when it airs this summer.
A shocking but widely believed report claims that Prince William was caught cheating on Kate Middleton while she was pregnant. Subsequent reports have explained how this shook up the royal family and how family friends and eventually tabloids learned about it. But the royal family wants all reports on the matter to cease — and they’re issuing a legal threat to silence the rumors. Attorneys with the comically British law firm, Harbottle and Lewis, have released a statement on reports of Prince William’s alleged affair. “In addition to being false and highly damaging,” the statement begins. “The publication of false speculation in respect of our client’s private life also constitutes a breach of his privacy.” The statement explains that this breach is “pursuant to Article 8 of the European Convention to Human Rights.” That’s a pretty hefty accusation. The contentious report claims that Prince Wiliam was caught having an affair with Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley. Until fairly recently, William and Kate had been besties with Rose and her husband, David. But the claim is that William had an affair with Rose during Kate’s most recent pregnancy. Reports say that Kate discovered it, confronted William, and demanded that he break off all contact with Rose. The sudden distance between the couples is what clued people in to the fact that something was apparently “up.” Additionally, some believe that this scandal, long kept secret, was the cause of reported conflicts between Harry and William. According to allegations and rumors, Harry resents his brother’s reported affair. Not only does he find it unbecoming and unfair to Kate, but it reminds him of their father, Prince Charles’ cheating on their mother. Meanwhile, some feckless rumors have said that Meghan Markle is some sort of nightmare who is causing drama for the royal family. She has been silently blamed for an alleged sibling feud, and Harry has reportedly been frustrated that he cannot publicly exonerate his wife. Harbottle and Lewis aren’t just asserting that the claim is false. They’re threatening legal action against news outlets that report on it. News outlets within the UK, that is. Additionally, sources within Kensington Palace have reportedly condemned reports of the affair. The continuing message seems to be that everyone should shut up about the story because it’s pure rubbish. Are reports about Prince William’s personal life actually a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights? Well … it’s complicated. Article 8 describes people being entitled to respect for one’s “private and family life, his home, and his correspondence.” But it also makes it clear that certain restrictions apply, notably those “necessary in a democratic society.” As a prince and heir to the throne, Prince William is about as much of a public figure as one possibly can be. Interest in his life isn’t merely natural — it’s justified, considering the millions that taxpayers spend each year to protect him and his family. For months and months, rumors about Meghan Markle tearing apart the royal family and being vicious to the staff have bounced around. Kensington Palace has replied to some requests for comment by denying rumors, but the royals have seemed to mostly ignore these wild claims. But many have gotten the impression that the family is deeply concerned with this report about William and Kate. Some believe that all of these attempts to silence rumors are a case of the royals protesting too much . Others say that maybe they just take a rumor about a likely heir very seriously. Does the royal family still have the kind of power and influence to totally quash a story that it doesn’t like? We guess that we’ll find out. … View Slideshow: Prince William: Was He REALLY Caught Cheating on Kate Middleton? Here’s Everything We Know So Far
According to multiple new reports, Lori Loughlin has been playing a figurative game of poker with the district attorney’s office over the past few weeks. And while the actress thought prosecutors were only holding a pair of 2s, it turned out that they’ve basically been holding… yes, you guessed it: A full house. Tremndous puns and segues aside, Loughlin appears to now be in dire trouble with the law because she previously didn’t believe she was in any real trouble at all. Yes, the veteran star was indicted back on March 12 along with dozens of other defendents, accused at the time of bribing officials at the University of Southern California with $500,000 in order to get her two daughters into this university. The scheme involved dressing up her two kids in fake high school crew team uniforms in order to pretend they were athletic recruits and, thereby, get their admission standards lowered. The scam worked; the teenagers were accepted into USC; and then it all came crashing down a month ago. Despite the seriousness of the charges against her, however, Loughlin allegedly didn’t think she’d ever see any jail time. Which makes sense, right? She’s rich and privileged and these traits are how she ended up in this mess to begin with. Due to her ignorant and entitled attitude, Loughlin did NOT align herself with fellow actress Felicity Huffman. She did not plead guilty a couple days ago and accept a plea bargain that will most likely lead to a sentencing of a few months in prison… at most. About 24 hours later, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were charged in a second superseding indictment on conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering. As such, the couple now faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, two decades a piece for each charge. Sh-t is very much getting real now for Loughlin — and it’s finally sinking in, insiders confirm. “Lori still believed in the end she would just get a slap on the wrist,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “At this point she is getting complete clarity and she’s scared and in terrible shape.” Another informant echoes this sentiment, explaining to E! News of Loughlin: “She has been in complete denial and thought maybe she could skate by. She refused to accept any jail time and thought the DA was bluffing. She was adamant she wouldn’t do any jail time.” Loughlin and her oldest daughter, Olivia Jade, are pictured here: “The reality of this situation has finally hit her like a ton of bricks,” the ET source adds. “It wasn’t until she was faced with [the] additional [charge] that she saw the true ramifications.” It’s been rumored from the start that prosecutors were intent on making an example out of Loughlin and her co-defendents. But while this message was apparently made clear to Huffman and the others who agreed to a plea deal this week, Loughlin’s ears were deaf to the situation. Huffman apologized profusely for her role in this nationwide scandal, releasing the following statement: Can we ever expect the same from Loughlin? It appears far too late at this point. “Lori is finally realizing just how serious this is,” says the ET mole, noting the former child model is beating herself up for not accepting the initial deal and concluding: “She is seeing the light that she will do jail time and is freaking out.”
