Last night, Hillary Clinton accepted the Democrat’s nomination and became the first female major-party candidate in United States history. It was a historic moment, and some of Hollywood’s biggest stars were on hand to celebrate. Bradley Cooper was at the DNC to support Clinton and prove once and for all that he is not actually an American sniper. View Slideshow: Bradley Cooper Attends DNC, Causes Total Republican Meltdown Katy Perry sang at the convention and sadly, she didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to throw shade at Taylor Swift. Katy was an apt choice, as like Clinton, she has experience butting heads with a privileged blonde who weirdly appeals to Southerners. Speaking of feuds, Chloe Grace Moretz – who, over the past week, has become wrapped up in an increasingly ugly war with Khloe Kardashian – took time to encourage young people to register to vote. The 19-year-old actress shared the story of her own registration process and offered some inspiring words on what it meant: Chloe Grace Moretz at the DNC “It took just a minute,” she said, “but it gave me the power of a lifetime, the power to make my voice heard and to shape the future of our country.” “So just imagine, imagine what can happen if we all make our voices heard this November at the ballot box,” the Kick-Ass star said. “We can elect a president who will fight to give every American a chance to graduate from college debt-free. We can elect a president who will fight for equal pay for equal work.” Inspiring stuff that’s reminiscent of Kendall Jenner’s “get out the vote” campaign. All-in-all, it must have been a confusing night for the Kardashian-Jenner clan. A candidate that Kim endorsed accepted the nomination; a singer they’re friends with gave the performance, but someone that Khloe’s been harassing on Twitter gave one of the night’s most talked-about speeches. This election is tearing the family apart, and someone needs to make the Kardashians great again! Just kidding, they were never great. View Slideshow: Hillary Clinton at the DNC: What Did She Say?
The unthinkable has happened. Okay, maybe it’s not that big a stretch, but with George Clooney married and now Derek Jeter, perennial bachelors are dropping like flies. In any case, the future baseball Hall of Fame member married model Hannah Davis in St. Helena, California, on Saturday, July 9. The attractive couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony on a golf course at Meadowood Napa Valley Resort, according to reports. Sports Illustrated beauty Davis, 26, looked stunning in a high-neck gown custom-made by Vera Wang; Jeter, 42, rocked a black suit. “After the ceremony, they walked around holding hands and looking ecstatic,” a source tells Us of the New York Yankee legend’s wedding. This is the first marriage for both. Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis got engaged in October 2015, news they kept private other than him using the word “fiancée” on his website. The couple first started dating in 2012, shortly after Jeter’s three-year relationship with Friday Night Lights a ctress Minka Kelly ended. He has previously been linked to Vanessa Lachey, Jordana Brewster, Mariah Carey, and numerous other stars he made sign NDAs. We don’t know that for sure, but for a celebrity with about 47 high-profile girlfriends, it’s curious no one has ever said a word about him. It could also be that Jeter is a class act on and off the field, and that there’s simply nothing negative or salacious to say about the man. Davis’ camp certainly agrees. “Their relationship works because they are both supportive and sweet to each other,” a source close to the supermodel says. “They almost never fight.” Another source added, “Derek is totally in love with her. He thinks she’s beautiful, sweet and sexy! All of Derek’s friends are jealous.” That Hannah’s super hot? Well, yeah, but more so that they’re so smitten with one another, always so happy and have the perfect relationship … seriously. Don’t expect to hear about it from them, though. Davis, like Jeter, seems to prioritize keeping her personal life out of the tabloids. “I feel like I have to share every other part of my life,” the Caribbean-born beauty told Maxim in an interview this past March. “It’s that one part that’s a bit of a mystery to people, but that’s the way we want it. The only way to protect it is not to talk about it.” Congrats to the newlyweds! View Slideshow: 21 Surprising Celebrity Weddings
Donald Trump Says More Guns Would Have Prevented Orlando Massacre Donald Trump has essentially refused to recognize any of the 49 lives lost or the sad gravity of the Orlando Nightclub shooting, instead taking every opportunity to congratulate himself, say “I told you so,” and push his agenda to cut off immigration — even though the shooter was American — and promote discrimination against Muslims . Now, he’s making the statement that MORE guns and increased shooting inside Pulse Nightclub could have prevented such a large loss of life. As he told CNN on Monday: “If you had some guns in that club the night that this took place, if you had guns on the other side, you wouldn’t have had the tragedy that you had.” “If people in that room had guns with the bullets flying in the opposite direction right at him, right at his head, you wouldn’t have had the same tragedy that you ended up having.” CNN’s Alisyn Camerota tried to point out that the club security guard inside was actually armed, but Trump insisted that patrons of the club should also have been armed for their own protection. “But if you had guns in that room, if you had — even if you had a number of people having them strapped to their ankle or strapped to their waist, where bullets could have flown in the other direction right at him, you wouldn’t have had the same kind of a tragedy.” Trump seems to not realize the difference between a Sig Saur MCX — capable of firing off hundreds of rounds per minute — and your everyday handgun. Besides the fact that most people aren’t in ‘Call of Duty’ mode while drinking and dancing inside a nightclub, nor should they expect to be. And thirdly, he fails to realize that NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO RUN AROUND WITH A GUN ON THEM. Is he blaming the victims for not hitting the club with guns strapped to their ankles, just in case some isht pops off? SMH. CNN

The sixth season of Game of Thrones may be the show’s most eventful to date, but with the possible exception of the death of Hodor (a fairly minor, albeit beloved character), it has yet to hit us with a stunner on par with the Red Wedding or the execution of Ned Stark. That didn’t change with “No One,” but the stage is certainly set for a bloody and jaw-dropping conclusion. Appropriately, the season’s eighth installment opened with a reenactment of one of the most memorable deaths in the recent history of Westeros – that of His Douchiness, Prince Joffrey. As the show’s been wont to do this season, it answered any questions left over from the previous week’s cliffhanger right off the bat: Arya is alive, and the actress she was once tasked with assassinating is both a badass with a history of violence and a remarkably solicitous mother figure. Perhaps the clearest way that this season has stood out from the five that preceded it (aside from the aforementioned breakneck pacing and the fact that the plot has progressed beyond the end point of George R.R. Martin’s books) is its humor. The scene in which the Hound quickly dispatches several members of the Brotherhood Without Banners may have been grim, but it also featured some one-liners worthy of a top-notch ’80s Die Hard knockoff (“You’re sh-t at dying, you know that?”) Speaking of badass revenants (Thank you, Leo, for teaching us that word.), we learn that Daenerys has become a messiah figure thanks to fervent preaching from yet another red priestess. We also get the long awaited return of Tyrion and Varys, both absent in the previous two episodes. Sadly, however, it seems that Stewie-and-Brian-esque partnership is at least temporarily at an end as Varys bids adieu to Meereen. He plans to return, but the hint of sadness in Tyrion’s voice reminds us that these two may be parting ways for good. From there, it’s back to Kings Landing, where Cersei, still butting heads with the increasingly powerful High Sparrow and hi Faith Militant, protects herself with the otherworldly badassery of the other Clegane brother. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 8 Photos: Tyrion Looks Troubled There’s more humor in the form of Bronn’s reunion with Pod. (Remember when they were both Tyrion’s buddies? Yeah, we barely do, too!) Meanwhile, in the tent (where they’re not having sex, thank you very much), Jaime and Brienne engage in more diplomatic, maneuvering, and the pieces begin to fall into place for the wars to come. Brienne wants to talk the Blackfish into surrendering Riverrun in exchange for safe passage north for a f-ckton of troops. Jaime has his doubts, but he agrees to the deal, possibly out of lingering affection for his former traveling partner/captor, Brienne. Lesser shows would have Brienne melt Brynden Tully’s heart and triumph against the odds, but on GoT, she’s shot down just as Jaime predicted. From there, we see Cersei victimized by a betrayal worthy of … well, her , as Tommen sets a date for her trial – and outlaws trial by combat, thus negating her big, brutish ace in the hole, the Mountain. Tyrion waxes poetic about booze some more (Note how the show has been grouping scenes featuring the Lannisters together.) and continues his efforts to get Missandei and Grey Worm to loosen up and see things his way. Side note: How long until the Imp’s Delight wine hits shelves? We imagine a dry pinot noir. We’re bummed that we didn’t get to hear the punchline to Tyrion’s booze-jackass-honeycomb, but his attempts at getting his cohorts to lighten up actually appear to be working – at least until the masters sail into port with war flags flying. Jaime visits Edmure Tully whose imprisonment is reminiscent of his own in Season 2. (No accident, we’re sure.) Edmure’s sorry state and the return of Brienne combine to make Jaime reflect on his previous interactions with the Tullys, which in turn cause him to realize the similarities between Cersei and Catelynn But as his threat to launch Edmure’s kid into the river reminds us, that doesn’t mean he’s gone soft. Jaime effectively persuades Edmure to enter the castle (He is the lord of Riverrun, after all.) and order Brynden’s troops to stand down. The Blackfish meets his demise nobly, Brienne and Pod escape with a wistful wave goodbye from Jaime, and like that, the weird tangential Riverrun storyline comes to an end. At least the Starks got more troops for their raid on Winterfell? With her peeps at Meereen under siege, Daenerys makes the most hardcore entry in history. (It’s tough to beat travel by dragon in terms of awesomeness.) But will it be enough to fend off the masters? Yeah, most likely. The big reunion episode continues as the Hound comes face-to-face with the Brotherhood members who nearly killed him, and drops a reference to his famous chicken dinner with Arya. (Oh, and kills the dicks who murdered Al Swearengen.) “Lots of horrible sh-t in this world gets done for something larger than ourselves,” the Hound says in a sadly topical refutation to the Brotherhood’s arguments. Despite his initial resistance, however, it looks as though appealing to the Hound’s newfound morality may have won the Hound over to their side. After that, we’re back to Arya (Weiss and Benioff are clearly intent on reminding us of how all these far-flung storylines are related.), who gives new meaning to blood orange while tumbling through a farmer’s market to evade the Waif. Though we can’t help but feel that we were deprived of a badass fight scene, it’s nice to see Arya make short work of the Waif and reclaim her name. With Arya’s stand against Jaqen (She lets him live as a thanks for saving her life so long ago.), another piece falls into place for what fans believe will be the most epic pair of episodes in the show’s six-season run.

The 2016 Tony Awards aired live from New York on Sunday night. Although host James Corden and company were forced to take a sobering tone due to the tragic Orlando shooting that took place in a gay nightclub just hours prior to the event. “Our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity,” Corden said to open the ceremony, adding: “You’re not on your own. Your tragedy is our tragedy. Hate will never win. We have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol of that principle.” And that show did have to go on, despite the death of 50 people in Florida.

Beyonce And Family Attend CFDA Awards This year’s CFDA award ceremony featured a big surprise, kept tightly under wraps until after the show’s conclusion — Beyonce was honored with the 2016 Fashion Icon Award: While accepting the recognition for her influential style , Bey detailed how her style journey came full circle, from her seamstress grandmother to her aspiring designer mother, and developing a unique style due to lack of style opportunity given a group of young Black singers just starting out: “As long as I can remember, fashion has always been a part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Most of you guys don’t know this, but my grandmother was a seamstress…” “When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels, they didn’t want to dress four black, country, curvy girls. And we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams.” “[My mother] designed all of our first costumes and made each piece by hand…putting so much passion and love into every small detail,” she said. “When I wore these clothes on stage I felt like [Game of Thrones’ queen] Khaleesi; I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.” How far she’s come! The songstress arrived to accept her award while rocking a sparkly pinstripe suit, $9 million in Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and the extremely wide-brimmed black hat that’s become synonymous with her Lemonade look: While Jay and Blue rocked black and white looks to support Mama Bey: Hit the flip for more from the Carter family’s arrival to the CFDA Awards, and more of Beyonce’s look for the night… AKM-GSI / Splash / Instagram
