‘Shallow’ #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Dethrones Ariana’s ‘7 Rings’

Gaga earns her fourth No. 1 and first since "Born This Way" in 2011. Shallow dethrones 7 Rings which ruled 5 weeks on the chart.

At 22 weeks, "Shallow" ties for t...

Prodigy frontman Keith Flint dies aged 49

Keith Flint, the iconic frontman of the 1990s electronic band The Prodigy, has been found dead at his home. He was 49.

Police were called to the singer's home in Dunmow, Essex at around 8am this morning following what they called 'concerns for his welfare'.

Flint was found dead inside the property and police say they are not treating the death as suspicious.

The musician became one of the faces of Britpop in the 1990s when his energetic dance style and punk haircuts made him one of the movement's most recognizable characters. 

An Essex Police spokesperson said: 'We were called to concerns for the welfare of a man at an address in Brook Hill, North End, just after 8.10am on Monday

'We attended and, sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.

'The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.'

Stormy Daniels claps back at comedians hateraid

Stormy Daniels has never struck me as particularly bright woman, but she sassed back at some shade she got from a low rung comedian and it was actually hysterical.

Stormy Daniels will be performing a Wednesday night stand-up comedy show in Texas later this month.  For some reason, this is very distressing to a Conan O'Brien writer in Los Angeles

c. 1599 Caravaggio painting could sell for $171M

A long-lost, and controversial, Caravaggio painting discovered in an attic after more than 100 years will go on the block in France on June 27 — with an estimate of $171 million.

The work, “Judith Beheading Holofernes,” will go on display in London, Paris and New York before it’s auctioned off in Toulouse, where the 1599 work was discovered by auctioneer Marc Labarbe in 2014 when he was helping clear out a client’s attic.

But the authenticity of the work has been debated in art circles: Some art historians have cast doubt, while France’s culture minister has classified it as a national treasure.

The Walking Dead may not have the massive hoard of followers that it did in its earliest seasons, but the series shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, the TWD universe may soon be expanding ever further — AMC executives are reportedly developing yet another new installment to the sprawling world of walkers.

According to Deadline, the network's executives confirmed that they are currently pursuing a new installment in the Walking Dead franchise, with COO Ed Carroll confirming to the site that the as-yet-unnamed series is in "active development."

"We're not at a stage where we'll be announcing its plans to premiere, but we have hired creative people that have pitched story outlines," Carroll explained. "We feel very good about the development of that series. We're not in a position to talk about partnerships in terms of other territories or ancillary windows, other than that there's a healthy appetite for it and we've had a number of conversations with a lot of players in the space."

The fire department received a 911 call to the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star’s home in Sherman Oaks, California, around 9:40 a.m., according to TMZ.

CSI and Invasion actress Lisa Sheridan has been found dead aged just 44 in her New Orleans home. 

The star's death Monday morning was confirmed by her manager Mitch Clem, People reports.

Lisa, who was previously engaged to Sex and the City actor Ron Livingston, starred in Halt and Catch Fire and Scandal.  She also made appearances in CSI: Miami, Journeyman, Perception and The Mentalist.

Paying tribute to Sheridan filmmaker Michael Dunaway said his 'soulmate' had experienced 'dark moments over the last few years'.  

He said he took comfort knowing her 'struggles, pain and grief' are behind her. 

Dunaway wrote on Instagram: 'She called me Big Brother, and for all intents and purposes I was. I met Lisa when she was fourteen years old, over thirty years ago. We were immediately attached at the hip, true soulmates from minute one.

'For the rest of the days of her life, she was a central part of mine. She was beautiful, obviously, and an immensely talented actor, and a wonderful friend, but more than anything she really did radiate this impossibly bright energy and life. 

'Even in her dark moments. And she had plenty of those, especially over the last few years. I'm trying to take comfort in knowing your struggles and pain and grief are at last, and last behind you.'

Jennifer Esposito addresses comment after ex Bradley Cooper’s Oscars performance

Jennifer Esposito addressed critics Tuesday following reactions she had received to her Instagram comment, in which she replied to comedian David Spade‘s post featuring her ex-husband, Bradley Cooper, who performed a duet at Sunday’s Oscars with his “A Star Is Born” co-star, Lady Gaga.

Taking to Instagram, the 45-year-old actress posted a video to her feed, captioning the clip, “HA — Front page news!!”

“So many people have been commenting about something that I said, which was like this, ‘Ha!’ That was it. And the way it has spread, and it was towards David Spade’s very outward statement and something about an ex, and I literally laughed at him because he was so bold in what he was saying,” Esposito said. “I thought it was funny and I’m allowed to think something is funny.”

Spade had posted a screengrab of Cooper, 44, and Gaga, 32, performing “Shallow” on social media, captioning the image, “Is there any chance these 2 aren’t f–king,” to which Esposito replied, “Ha.”

Is there any chance these 2 aren’t fucking?

A post shared by David Spade (@davidspade) on

“When you come and attack a person for saying, ‘Ha,’ we have so many things going on in our country and in our world that need attention, and I wished that you’d spend even a minute of this insanity of nonsense on things that are really important,” she continued.

Esposito, who split from Cooper in 2007, also stated that she didn’t tune in to Sunday’s Academy Awards.

“I didn’t watch the Oscars, I don’t know what went on, I don’t care what went on, I commented on something that I thought was funny, and someone being bold enough to say what he said,” Esposito explained.

Esposito previously referenced her Instagram comment Tuesday on Twitter.

“So confused. I get off a flight to see a comment I made of ‘HA’ to a joke from @DavidSpade has gone wild!?. Has everyone gone mad? Somehow I’m insulting an X by laughing at a joke someone else made? Pls take your insanity elsewhere,” she wrote.
