Finally, something good comes out of Georgia politics! Congressman John Lewis dancing to “Happy” by Pharrell might be the best thing to happen this legislative session. Yesterday, the International Day of Happiness, was also John Lewis’ birthday. The last remaining member of the Civil Rights Movement’s Big Six turned 74 recently and gathered with his staffers for a belated birthday celebration during which “Happy” was played. Congressman John Lewis Dancing to ‘Happy’ The Congressman began dancing and declared “Happy” “his song.” It’s everybody’s song, Congressman. It’s probably a good enough song to bring about world peace. Michael Collins, the Congressman’s chief of staff, says “Ever since Pharrell came out with the song, he’s wanted to know, ‘Who sings that song? Who sings that song?” “He gets into it. The congressman has this incredible spirit. Whenever he hears the song, he’s like, ‘Turn it up. Turn it up.’ Whenever he hears it, he just lights up.” You and everyone else, John Lewis. You and everyone else.
Nearly two decades after Kurt Cobain committed suicide, new photos from the scene of the rocker’s death have been released. A Seattle detective recently reviewed the case, assuming the 20th anniversary of Cobain’s passing would renew interest in the incident, which took place on April 8, 1994. He did not discover any new information but he did some across four rolls of undeveloped rolls of film from the suicide scene. Kurt Cobain Suicide Photos Revealed Authorities released two of those photos to The Associated Press last night, with one depicting a box of drug paraphernalia, a spoon and what appear to be needles on the floor next to half a cigarette and sunglasses. The other shows the same paraphernalia box closed aside some cash, a cigarette pack and a wallet that shows Cobain’s identification. “There was nothing earth-shattering in any of these images,” police spokeswoman Renee Witt said. “The detective went into the case files to refresh himself. The outcome of the case has not changed.” Cobain’s body was discovered in Seattle and an investigation determined that, days prior, the Nirvana frontman had gone into the greenhouse of his large home and taken a massive dose of heroin. He then shot himself with a shotgun. In a statement on the Seattle Police Department’s online blotter, the detective who re-examined the case dismissed speculation of any kind of conspiracy. “Sometimes people believe what they read – some of the disinformation from some of the books, that this was a conspiracy. That’s completely inaccurate,” said Detective Mike Ciesynski. “It’s a suicide. This is a closed case.”

It’s depressing but true: Kate Gosselin and her kids are returning to television for a Kate Plus 8 special that will not include the children’s father and Kate’s estranged ex, Jon Gosselin. But if you’re concerned over these kids once again being placed in the spotlight, don’t be.

Kate Has a Bad Hair Day This would be more newsworthy, except when does she NOT have a bad hair day. Exactly. Peace. Kate tells Us Weekly that the kids “cheered like crazy” when she told them of the one-time TLC episode, which will be an hour in length and catch viewers up on where this family stands. “It was like I announced that it’s Christmas tomorrow,” Gosselin claims . “Our crew walked in and it was like they had never left.” That’s not necessarily a good thing, is it? Perhaps the kids should be used to life without cameras in their faces at all times. Especially considering how petrified Mady and Cara looked when they stopped by the Today Show in January. Jon, of course, is not included in this mini reunion, nor is he pleased about it. “He thinks it is a really bad idea for his kids,” a source tells the tabloid. “Jon feels he has his kids’ best interest at heart.” He can’t do anything about it, however. Insiders confirm that Kate is “not obliged” to tell her ex anything about twins Cara and Mady, 13; and sextuplets, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, 9. “Everybody is entitled to their opinions,” Kate says of Jon’s many critiques concerning her seemingly self-involved mothering style. “I don’t let it bother me or affect me that much. I’m led by my gut, my heart and doing what I’ve always set out to do as a parent.”
Selena Gomez made headlines a few days ago for grinding all over the artist behind “Baby.” But now she’s in the news for posing on Instagram with a baby. Her baby sister, that is! The young superstar made followers melt on Wednesday by giving them a look at Gracie, the nine-month girl born to her mother and stepfather on June. Gomez used a one word caption (“Sissy”) for the image because, really, what is there to say? It’s cuteness personified. And it’s a nice break from all Justin Bieber -related rumors circulating around the star, don’t you think? Are they getting back together? Are they going on tour? Are they friends with benefits? As long as Gomez, who entered rehab earlier this year, is safe, happy and healthy… then we are happy for her. Selena Gomez adidas NEO: Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign Open Slideshow 1.

And then there were nine. Following dinner with the finalists, Jennifer Lopez took to the stage and performed ” I Luh Ya Papi ,” including alums such as Pia Toscano, Allison Iraheta and Jessica Sanchez in the opening. It was a hot dance number, gotta give J-Lo that. But here’s what everyone really wants to know: MK Nobilette, Dexter Roberts and Majesty Rose fell to the Bottom 3. And we then learned that Nobilette had received the last number of votes, likely the right call considering her lackluster performance on Wednesday of ” Perfect .” MK chooses “All Of Me” for her save, as the camera zooms in on an emotional Jennifer Lopez and, for the first time, the judges appear to have a tough decision to make. Should they use their Save? The crowd is chanting for it…MK says she wants to say. But, alas they say no. MK Nobilette get eliminated from American Idol. DID VIEWERS MAKE THE RIGHT CALL?

Selena Gomez got together with her pal Zooey Deschanel for a night on the town Wednesday in West Hollywood … a pairing we didn’t see coming. Joined my another female friend, the trio seemed to have enjoyed themselves, according to the brunette beauty who posted a photo of them being silly. “Ladies being ladies. Ladies night,” Selena Gomez captioned the photo. When she’s not grinding with Justin Bieber (who it appears she’s back together with, and may even be touring with) she’s been having a lot of good girl time. Besides Deschanel, Gomez, Francia Rasia, Raquel Stevens and Haley Pharo went to the Sunset Tower Hotel this week to spend some quality time together. The very same quartet of girls were seen a few days before at Rockwell Table and Stage in Los Angeles to watch For The Record: Baz Luhrmann. “The show was so much fun, everyone was singing along,” a source dished. “The girls had an amazing time and stood at the end to cheer on the cast.” Does sound like a much better time to us than, say, this … Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez GRINDING Open Slideshow 1.

First, the good news: Ghostbusters 3 will begin production in early 2015. Now, the bad news: Ivan Reitman has dropped out as director. Following the death of Harold Ramis – his good friend and a main player in the first two Ghostbusters – Reitman has chosen to leave the project. Talk of a third installment in this wildly popular franchise has been running rampant for years, but not until recently did actors Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd sign on for a follow-up. It remains unclear just what kind of role they will play in Ghostbusters 3, but Reitman told Deadline it will likely be “minor.” He also went into detail about why he backed out of directing. “When I came back from Harold’s funeral, it was really moving and it made me think about a lot of things… I told [Amy and Doug Belgrad from Sony] I thought I could help, but let’s find a really good director and make it with him. “So that’s what we’ve agreed will happen. I didn’t want all kinds of speculation about what happened with me, that is the real story.” No release date has been set for Ghostbusters 3, but it will likely hit theaters in late 2015 or early 2016.
