Stacey Dash Just Got Fox-ier
Stacey Dash, who portrayed Dionne in the 1995 flick “Clueless,” signed on as a contributor at Fox News. She will comment on and analyze culture on multiple shows. Doubt she’ll be saying, “As if!”

Brad Pitt Gets Hit
While Brad Pitt was on the blue carpet for the premiere of his wife’s film “Maleficent” Wednesday night, a Ukranian TV reporter named Vitalii Sediuk punched him in the face! The aggressor was arrested. If his name sounds familiar, that’s because earlier this month he tried to crawl underneath America Ferrera’s long white gown at the “How To Train Your Dragon 2″ premiere at Cannes Film Festival. No, Pitt did not get all “Fight Club” on him.

Lady Gaga Postpones Two Concerts
Lady Gaga postponed one show in Seattle and one in Vancouver, British Columbia after getting severe bronchitis. She tweeted an image of Ariel and Ursula from “The Little Mermaid” and apologized saying, “I’m devastated I’m unable to perform this week. Ursula took my mermaid voice I’ve come down with horrible Bronchitis.” Feel better Gaga!

Sam Smith Comes Out
“Leave Your Lover” singer Sam Smith revealed that he is gay. It appears that art imitated life – in the music video for the song it shows that out of the love triangle he had feelings for the guy, not the girl.

How Will We ‘Handle’ This?
Talk show “Chelsea Lately” will end its run at the end of August after seven years of being on air. ...

Last week Lil Wayne previewed a tongue twister of a track called “Tina Turn Up Needs A Tune Up,” which might end up on his upcoming album Tha Carter V. And for this week’s installation of “Weezy Wednesdays” we get a sneak peek of “Side Bitch.”

Wayne only played a very brief snippet of the track, but it’s the lesson he teaches us in this episode that’s really important. The YMCMB rapper explained that the track was inspired by a conversation with his friends about “side bitches” — that’s just brunch talk — which lead him to explain exactly how “side bitches be winning.”

“N—-s always end up hating what they loved, or hating what they thought they loved,” he begins, adding that a side bitch is the only one who would do things like “rubbing your crotch in front of everybody.” The rest of it, you really need to hear for yourself.

He truly is an older, and wiser Weezy.

A native of Grenada, a product of Brooklyn, a student of hip-hop. Hi, I'm @neweryork.

He’s the best there is at what he does — but he wasn’t always the best.

Hugh Jackman, international superstar thanks to his role as Wolverine across seven different “X-Men” movies, wasn’t always so comfortable brandishing those adamantium claws. The Australian actor was a latecomer to 2000′s “X-Men,” joining the cast at the last minute after Dougray Scott dropped out of the film.

At the time, nobody knew anything about Jackman; he was a complete unknown to the mainstream moviegoing masses. How was he able to dig his claws into one of the most iconic comic book roles of all time?

Well, thanks to an audition video unearthed by ComicBookMovie.com, we have an answer. Watch the 11-minute video below to check out Jackman’s initial audition to play the fast-healing mutant:

The video features Jackman, no more than 30 years old at the time, reading Wolverine’s lines with the actor’s own Australian accent — an accent he eventually abandoned when he won the role. Interestingly enough, Jackman was not the first Australian Wolverine.

What do you think of Jackman’s Wolverine audition?

Justin Timberlake was in Israel to perform a gig in Tel Aviv on Wednesday. But, like any tourist in the Holy Land, he had to check out some major religious destinations in Jerusalem before getting to work. Among them was the Western Wall, (also known as the Kotel) the holiest site in the city for followers of Judaism.

“The Holy Land… What an experience,” Timberlake said in an Instagram post featuring a photo of him touching the wall in a reverent stance. “I will never forget this day. #Israel.”

The snap has gotten more than 250,000 Likes so far, with many Israeli fans expressing love and gratitude for the singer’s visit and some others taking issue with Justin’s inadvertent step into the long-simmering Palestinian-Israeli conflict over territory by hashtagging his picture “Israel”. One fan wrote, “the land belongs to Palestine,” while another said, “WOWWWW people can be so mean the holy land originally belonged to Palestine I am from Palestine and will NEVER consider myself from Israel.”

Jerusalem is one of the key points of conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, with Palestinians calling for a division based on pre-1967 borders and Israelis arguing for a unified city for security purposes.

At press time, many of the comments on the photo were still heated, though one poster made a plea for cooler heads to prevail. “I think you should stop this fight,” wrote Mahboubaz. “We are living on One Earth. Let’s try to establish #Peace.”

Pope Francis visited the same site the day before JT.

What is dead may never die.

Those words are typically found on a different high-profile show, but they’re applicable when it comes to “Community,” based on recent news. Weeks after NBC canceled the Dan Harmon sitcom, it now appears that Hulu is attempting to bring the series back to life for another season.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms talks between Hulu and Sony Pictures Television for the resurrection of “Community,” though there’s no deal on the table yet. Shortly after NBC canceled the series after five seasons, Sony Pictures Television’s Jamie Erlicht said that he would fight for the show’s return.

“You can’t get to six seasons and a movie without six seasons,” said Erlicht. “This show had a remarkable history. There are real conversations we need to have with everyone as soon as we get back. We’ve been on the receiving end of some phone calls, but we really need to get together with the ‘Community’ team and have real conversations and figure out the future. If there’s any show that should have a future or could have a future, it really feels like ‘Community’ is the one.”

But Dan Harmon, creator of “Community” and show runner for four out of five seasons (the less said about season four, the better), was less optimistic about bringing the show back. In a blog post written two weeks ago, Harmon said he was “definitely in the ‘eh’ column” about the possibility of “Community” making a comeback.

Forget what you’ve heard about the millions that Lana Del Rey reportedly got paid to play Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s pre-wedding party at Versailles.

Was $2.8 million worth it for performing “Young & Beautiful” with a 50-piece orchestra, along with her hit “Summertime Sadness”?

“I’d it for free just like I did this one,” Del Rey told a TMZ cameraman on Wednesday when asked how much it would cost him to have her sing at his wedding. “I would never let a friend pay me to sing at a wedding.”

That’s what friends are for, after all. Kimye have loved Del Rey, 27, like, forever. You might recall that ‘Ye had an orchestra play “Young & Beautiful” at San Francisco’s AT&T Park in October when he proposed to Kim.

Dreams do come true, even for misguided billionaires like John Hammond.

Colin Trevorrow, director of the upcoming “Jurassic World,” has confirmed recent rumors about the plot and details of the next film in the “Jurassic” series. His interview with Slash Film, posted late last night, pulled the curtain back on how dinosaurs are back in the mix following the events of the first three “Jurassic Park” movies, what Chris Pratt’s character is all about, and much more.

Read on if you want the details, but be warned: spoilers are ahead.

1. “Jurassic World” is the “Disney World” of Dinosaurs
Twenty-two years after the events of “Jurassic Park,” John Hammond’s dreams for a dinosaur-filled amusement park have been realized. According to Trevorrow, the titular Jurassic World is “a fully functional park on Isla Nublar” that sees 20,000 visitors every day, arriving by ferry from Costa Rica.

Jurassic World has all of the characteristics of great theme parks: Luxury resorts with hotels, restaurants, golf courses and more. The only difference between this park and others is that at Jurassic World, there are dinosaurs — lots of them.

“You can get closer to them than you ever imagined possible,” according to Trevorrow.

2. Dino Disillusionment
For Trevorrow and his creative team, one of the key ideas behind “Jurassic World” is the “seen it, over it” nature of culture today. In a world where high-speed Internet access can show you everything you want to know in the blink of an eye, where the ...

The late night talk show circuit is losing its most rabble-rousing celebrity news gossipmonger, Chelsea Handler.

E! is turning out the lights on “Chelsea Lately” after a successful seven-year run with a month-long sendoff celebration of special episodes and surprise guests culminating in a live series finale on Tuesday, August 26.

“We are very proud of ’Chelsea Lately’s’ long-running success and the unique space that the series carved out in late night television,” said E! President Suzanne Kolb in a statement on Wednesday (May 28). “Chelsea brought a distinct voice to late night with her acerbic wit and fearless commentary and we look forward to providing fans with a memorable send-off that lives up to that tradition. Most of all, we are grateful to the ‘Chelsea Lately’ team for making this show so special for seven years.”

The comedian’s reign as late night’s top provocateur included numerous quote-worthy appearances by hip-hop’s biggest acts, including 2 Chainz, Rick Ross and former rumored boyfriend, 50 Cent. Despite her past complaints about the network, though, Handler is taking the high road ahead of her departure.

“I myself am more surprised than anyone that I was able to hold down a job for seven years, and it was a fantastic seven years,” said Handler. “I will always look back at my time on E! as most people look back at their time in college. I’m glad I went.”

New episodes of “Chelsea Lately” will continue to air each weeknight at 11 p.m. ET leading up ...

On tonight’s “Catfish,” Internet detectives Nev Schulman and Max Joseph ventured into new territory, taking on a case that had nothing to do with online romance. A Washington D.C. man named Kidd Cole, who claimed to be a music producer under Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. label, threw the guys — and a young Philadelphia resident named Lucille — for quite a loop, and even though the trio collected mounting evidence that pointed to Kidd as a shameless scam artist, he copped to Ab. So. Lute. Ly. Nothing.

Lucille, who met Kidd through Twitter, said she was first drawn to him for his talent, and explained that since they’d hit it off so quickly, he felt comfortable asking her for help. Even though the two had never met, and didn’t live in the same city, she said Kidd commissioned her to organize things like limo drivers and security for press events and performances, but when it came time to pay the bills, he disappeared. Lucille, who was hoping her good work might amount to a career in the record industry, quickly realized she was being duped, and after some research, Nev and Max discovered she wasn’t the only one.

The guys eventually found a Facebook page labeling Kidd as a notorious con artist, and stumbled upon dozens of stories of the supposed producer cheating hard-working people out of hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of dollars. Nev, Max and Lucille were surprised that he was willing ...

In exactly one week, Kristen Bell will host the 2014 CMT Music Awards, country music’s biggest “house party.”

“I think the way that they’re lining up the show this year and the amount of cool surprise guests and acts, I think that it should be a pretty cool show,” Bell told CMT Hot 20 Countdown while taking a break from shooting promos for the show. “I think country music is very much about the fans and that’s kind of how this show feels. It feels like it’s a big party with a lot of friends and a lot of love.”

The “Frozen” actress will return to Nashville and host the fan-voted show solo for the first time after co-hosting with Toby Keith in 2012 and Jason Aldean last year.

“It’s a safety net to have someone up there for sure, but it’s also far from the hardest job in the world cause I have a teleprompter and wonderful writers behind the show,” she said. “And the show is always produced in such a way that’s it’s so fun and fan-oriented that I think there’s kinda no way that we can go wrong.”

As for those all-important behind-the-scenes details about the live broadcast from Music City’s Bridgestone Arena, featuring performances from Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and others, well, all you really need to know is that it’ll “definitely be as cool” as that third time she threw a house party.

“It’s a lot more fun,” Bell said. “I ...
