The Lohans Had A Big Family Reunion!

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 06:44 PM PST

Truly a Christmas miracle...

According to The Blast, Michael Lohan says daughter Lindsay Lohan broke down "walls and barriers" to hold a family reunion including mom Dina Lohan, Michael's wife Kate Major, and their two kids.

Reportedly, the Mean Girls star rented a house in NYC, and it was the first time she met her father's newest son, Logan!

Michael called the gathering:

"The BEST Christmas gift I have EVER gotten."

After hanging out and playing games, the kids hung on to Lindsay's legs and "wouldn't let her go" when it was time to leave.

Because of this successful meet-up, the actress has been communicating with her family via FaceTime, and the entire brood plans to spend more time together "as a whole family unit."

While Kate and Michael have had their ups and downs, Kate is reportedly sober and healthy, and the two are happily co-parenting.

Family always comes first!

VOTE: Armie Hammer Apologizes To Casey Affleck — But Does Affleck Deserve It??

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 05:59 PM PST

Even before he was being called a beneficiary of white privilege in an article that eventually led him to delete his Twitter account, Armie Hammer was courting controversy.

In one interview, he spoke about the unfair "double standard" in how his Birth Of A Nation director Nate Parker and Manchester By The Sea star Casey Affleck were treated by the media and the industry.

With Nate in "director's jail" and Casey having a Best Actor Oscar on his shelf, it's easy to see his point.

However, the two men were accused of very different things as Armie took the time to explain in a lengthy apology to Affleck for the comparison.

The Call Me By Your Name star released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, where his original interview appeared, saying:

"I would like to sincerely apologize to Casey and his family for my recent comments about him in my THR interview. Without knowing the facts about the civil lawsuits at issue (which I now understand were settled), I misspoke. I conflated sexual harassment cases with a criminal case involving sexual assault charges.

The cases in which Casey was involved were not criminal and instead involved civil claims from his 2010 movie I'm Still Here. While intending to make a social comment about double standards in general, I mistakenly compared reports of prior, public civil allegations that never proceeded to trial with a criminal case that was fully tried. I understand now that this was a poor comparison, which I deeply regret making."

There definitely is a difference between the two charges, and the way they were resolved.

However, does that mean the observation of the double standard was incorrect? Yes, considering the charges were different, one would certainly expect Parker and Affleck to suffer proportional levels of public admonishment.

But that isn't what happened. One got denounced, the other was given the biggest honor in Hollywood.

We guess what we're asking is, do YOU think Casey Affleck deserved this apology??

Ed Sheeran Is A Pizza Thief On Today! WATCH!

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 05:41 PM PST

Even Ed Sheeran can't resist a slice (or two) of pizza!

On Friday, before the red head's performance, Today did a segment with pizza master Christopher Bianco where he whipped up one of his signature pies.

It was apparently so good, the Shape Of You musician was caught stealing a few slices right before his set! Cohost Carson Daly joked:

"His hit song Perfect was about love, but now it's about pizza."

In fact, the English singer would have eaten more, but he had to do what was best for his vocals! Sheeran remarked:

"I would actually have another slice if I wasn't singing... Please save me some."

And that's what Daly did! After Ed serenaded the audience with a rendition of Perfect, Carson made good on his promise and brought him some more cheesy yumminess!

Katie Couric Breaks Her Silence On The Matt Lauer Sexual Misconduct Allegations… Sort Of…

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 04:59 PM PST

When the time really comes for her moment, Katie Couric is probably going to have quite a bit to say.

For now, though, she's just barely breaking the silence on Matt Lauer and the fallout from the extensive and disturbing sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Related: Lauer's Wife Always Knew He Was A Player...

It all went down today when a fan commented on one of Couric's Instagram photos, asking what she thought about Lauer's termination and pointing out that silence -- which had been deafening for the former Today host up to this point -- was not a good look.

Seeing the comment, Couric responded (below):

"It's incredibly upsetting and I will say something when I'm ready to. Thanks for your interest."

Hmmm...

That leaves a lot out in the open, but most obviously, it'll be interesting to see when she feels ready to talk more. Considering she co-hosted the Today show for 15 years with Lauer from 1991 to 2006, we can bet Katie is going to have a LOT to say once she's totally open to talking.

Vote: Who Should Replace Matt Lauer On The Today Show?

The silence may be broken... sort of... but we still have SO many more questions about what may come next for Katie whenever she really decides to open up about Lauer.

Here's the response comment from Couric, screenshotted on her IG account (below):

Wow.

Thoughts, Perezcious readers???

Lil Peep Died From An Overdose Of Fentanyl And Xanax, His Toxicology Report Confirms

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 03:51 PM PST

Investigators have suspected as much during their look into the rapper's life and untimely demise, but now we have some clarity on Lil Peep's cause of death after toxicology reports came back on Friday afternoon.

The Pima County Medical Examiner has determined Lil Peep's death was accidental. If you'll remember, as we've been reporting, the 21-year-old rapper had been found dead on his tour bus during a stop in Tucson, Arizona last month.

And more importantly, investigators can now confirm that the cause of death came from "the combined toxic effects of fentanyl and alprazolam," according to reports out first this afternoon in TMZ.

Alprazolam is a generic form of Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug.

Toxicology also found that there were a LOT of other drugs in Lil Peep's system, too. In all, he tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, and the painkiller Tramadol in his blood, with his urine testing positive for all of those drugs plus a few opiates, including Hydrocodone, Dilaudid, and Oxycodone among others.

Wow.

Interestingly, there was no alcohol in Lil Peep's system at the time of his death.

Sad, scary stuff to cap what is still such a devastating story.

Congratulations, Big Little Lies fans: season two is coming!!!

On Friday morning, HBO announced that the show will be returning for season two soon, with Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and more on board for a seven-episode second season directed entirely by Transparent alum Andrea Arnold!

In a statement aligning with the second season news on Friday, Witherspoon said this about returning for more of the show in Monterey (below):

"I'm thrilled to be bringing back this talented team of artists. It gives us the opportunity to delve deeper into the lives of these intriguing and intricate Monterey families and bring more of their stories back to the audience who embraced and championed them. I'm beyond excited to be working with talented and acclaimed director Andrea Arnold who will be at the helm. Andrea's unique storytelling style will be a welcome addition to the filmmaking team."

Most of the rest of the cast is already on board with contract negotiations underway, so you shouldn't expect too many holes from season one -- although there are apparently four new characters that production is currently auditioning for new roles in the second season.

Well now THIS would be an interesting casting choice!!!

The Crown is Netflix's award-winning drama on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and while the show tends to jump around a bit in time periods over the last few decades, some of its stars are already thinking about how to work in a Meghan Markle storyline to the series!!

Film Legend Mamie Van Doren Says At 16 Years Old She Was 'Just The Right Age' For Bob Hope In SAVAGE Facebook Post!

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 12:42 PM PST

In a truly savage Facebook post, the legendary Mamie Van Doren is joining in on the #MeToo movement with her own story -- about Bob Hope!

The silver screen sex symbol drags the comedian, saying his much-lauded USO shows were just a cynical cash grab and that he was a cruel womanizer who cheated on his wife constantly, observations that seem to corroborate some of the seedier claims in the 2014 biography Hope: Entertainer of the Century by Richard Zoglin.

As for her personal experience, the Teacher's Pet star says Hope tried to have sex with her when she was only 16 YEARS OLD, which she says was "just the right age" for the comic.

And when she refused, he blackballed her.
