Kristen Bell and Ted Danson Dish on ‘The Good Place’ and Their Real-Life Bad Places
This story about Kristen Bell, Ted Danson and “The Good Place” first appeared in the Comedy/Drama/Actors issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.
NBC’s delightful comedy series “The Good Place” started out as a vision of paradise, albeit a rather odd and completely secular paradise; it ended its first season with the show-shattering reveal that our human characters had actually been spending their time in a radical new version of hell designed to get them to torture each other rather than leaving that job to the pros.
And in Season 2, the show from “Parks and Recreation” creator Mike Schur kept upending itself in the most delicious of ways.
This is a show that can make hell kind of charming and give a fun, cuddly twist to the afterlife. Kristen Bell somehow makes us root for a woman

A month after being bestowed with the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards, Janet Jackson was honored with the 2018 Impact Award at the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards on Saturday (June 23).
Two of her biggest fans, Normani and Raven-Symoné, took the stage to present the award. “I remember wearing out the carpet in my grandmother’s living room trying to recreate the dance moves in her video,” said the Fifth Harmony singer. “Now every time I take the stage, a part of her spirit is in every move that I make.”
Simone also gushed about her idol. “I have made it clear that Janet Jackson is my one and only icon,” she said. “I too grew up watching her and idolizing her. This moment is a dream come true.”
Janet took the stage to a standing ovation. “It’s beautiful and its humbling to be recognized as someone who’s had a positive impact, but if I’ve been fortunate enough to impact others, it’s only because I myself have been greatly impacted by positive people in my life,” she said.
She also acknowledged her family, including father Joe Jackson, who was recently hospitalized with terminal cancer. “My mother nourished me with the most extravagant love imaginable,” she said. “My incredible father drove me to be the best I can. My siblings set an incredibly high standard, a high bar for artistic excellence.”
She continued, “This means so much to me coming from all of you. It really does. Your gratuitous acknowledgement will surely inspire me to continue to grow as an artist and as a human being.”

Beyoncé is pregnant and covering her unborn child.
Beyoncé is full from a heavy, rich English dinner.

RHONJ Cast Involved In Physical Altercation at Finale Party: ‘Plenty of Alcohol’ and ‘Screaming’
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast filmed the finale episode of their ninth season over the weekend at the New Jersey home of reported new cast member Jennifer Aydin and during her wedding anniversary celebration, a fight reportedly broke out amongst her co-stars.
According to a new report, the cast of season nine, including Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Staub, and Jacqueline Goldschneider, was having fun at Aydin’s Paramus home when two of the cast member’s husbands began to brawl.
On June 25, All About the Tea revealed that it was Margaret’s husband, Joe Benigno, and the new husband of Danielle, Marty Caffrey, who got into a fight over their wives due to the women’s falling out.
“The two men were hurling insults over a beef between their wives,” a source revealed, adding that their feud involved screaming and violent threats.
“The men started fighting and Joe pushed Marty into the pool. Everyone ran outside to see what the drama was about,” the insider continued. “Plenty of alcohol was flowing at the event because producers wanted drama after a slow season.”
Following the filmed altercation between the two men, Jennifer, a mother of five who is married to plastic surgeon Dr. Bill Ayden, was said to be understandably disappointed in their behavior, especially considering the drama took place at her home.
“Jennifer is very uppity and pulled out all the stops for the party. She spent a fortune on a party planner to make sure everything would be perfect,” the sources revealed. “After the party was over, she cried over the men ruining her party.”
The RHONJ season nine will air on Bravo TV this fall.
Jill Scott's Estranged Husband Wants His Prince Album & Shoehorn BACK!
Jill Scott's uncoupling from her estranged husband Michael Dobson just got messier.
Mr. Dobson just filed paperwork in his pending divorce from the soulful singer requesting she return some of his belongings. And his list of items are all time PETTY.
According to TMZ, Jill's estranged husband is asking a judge to make Jill give back a few items he left behind in September 2017.
Apparently, the "Golden" singer changed the locks on their home and Michael was unable to get his personal items, including Prince's album Purple Rain. That's not all he wants. He also wants Jill to return...y'all ready?...FIVE hotel robes (really, sir?), a massage table, a Dewalt laser level measurer AND...an extended shoehorn. Petty much?
Things are only getting nastier between the two after Jill filed for divorce from Michael 15 months after they tied the knot. She requested a restraining order against her estranged husband back in February. Since news broke that they were calling it quits, Michael has been making headlines, trashing Jill over her alleged "evil ways."
Sounds like they both are big mad. We know Jilly from Philly can't wait to get this all over with so she can go back to living her life like it's golden. Because this surely aint that.

2018 NBA Awards: James Harden, Ben Simmons take home hardware
The second annual NBA Awards have come and gone.
The star-studded event — during which the winners of all of the NBA's major regular-season awards, including MVP and Rookie of the Year, were announced — took place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and was televised live on TNT.
The six major awards were voted on by a panel of media members before the start of the postseason. The winners are listed below.
Most Valuable Player
James Harden, Houston: Harden, who finished second in the MVP race in 2014-15 and 2016-17, led the Rockets to a franchise-record 65 wins and led the NBA in scoring (30.4 points per game), three-pointers made (265) and 50-point games (four). Harden received 86 out of 101 possible first-place votes.
Rookie of the Year
Ben Simmons, Philadelphia: After spending a year on the sidelines with a foot injury, Simmons' rookie season proved to be well worth the wait. He joined Oscar Robertson as the only other rookie in NBA history to average 15 points, eight rebounds and eight assists per game.
Most Improved Player
Victor Oladipo, Indiana: Nobody in the league improved as drastically as Oladipo, who bounced back from a tough season in Oklahoma City to emerge as a full-blown star. He set career highs in points (23.1 per game), rebounds (5.2), assists (4.3), steals (2.4) and field goal percentage (47.7).
Defensive Player of the Year
Rudy Gobert, Utah: The Jazz boasted an NBA-best defensive rating of 97.5 in the final 38 games of the season after Gobert returned from a knee injury. He ranked fourth in the NBA in total blocks (129) despite missing 26 games.
Sixth Man Award
Lou Williams, Los Angeles Clippers: Though he started 19 games due to the Clippers' onslaught of injuries, Williams averaged a career-high 22.6 points. This is the second Sixth Man Award of his career.
Coach of the Year
Dwane Casey, Toronto: Casey, who was fired after the Raptors were swept out of the playoffs by Cleveland and then hired as head coach of Detroit, led Toronto to a franchise-best 59 wins and the top seed in the Eastern Conference. During his acceptance speech, Casey addressed the elephant in the room.

#JusticeForJunior: 6 charged in connection with Bronx teen murder
NEW YORK — Six more suspects were being held in Paterson, New Jersey Monday, awaiting an extradition hearing, in connection with the savage machete attack on a 15-year-old Bronx boy.
One other suspect, Kevin Alvarez, 19, has already been charged with murder and gang assault in the brutal death of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz. He pleaded not guilty on Monday.
Alvarez is accused specifically with dragging Guzman-Feliz "through the threshold" of a Bronx bodega, according to prosecutors on Monday evening.
PIX11 News first reported Sunday that multiple people were detained at an alleged gang stronghold on East 24th Street in Paterson.
They are suspected of being members of the Trinitarios gang.
Prosecutor Camelia Valdes announced the extradition hearings of the following suspects:
Jose Muniz, 21, of Paterson, NJ
Jose Taverez, 21, of the Bronx, NY
Manuel Rivera, 18 of Bronx, NY
Danel Fernandez 21 of Bronx, NY
Joniki Martinez 24, of Freeport, NY
Santiago Rodriguez 24, of Bronx, NY
Their extradition to New York could happen as early as TODAY.
A law enforcement source also told PIX11 on Monday that authorities are talking to someone in the Dominican Republic who may be connected to the deadly stabbing .
Paterson, New Jersey police first received a tip at about 1:45 p.m. Sunday. They sent a large contingent of cops and found four people tied to the attack of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz who were holed up at a house on East 24th Street in Paterson, a source tells PIX11.
When authorities went to the house, one suspect managed to escape but was apprehended minutes later, sources say.
#JusticeForJunior: Mother of murdered Bronx teen speaks out
The leader of the Trinitarios gang apologized on Facebook, saying the vicious murder resulted from a case of mistaken identity.
Guzman-Feliz was dragged out of a bodega at East 183rd Street and Bathgate Avenue and hacked to death with a machete on Wednesday night following a dispute with a group of males, officials said. He managed to go back inside the bodega, and then walk to nearby St. Barnabus Hospital, where he died outside.
A source told PIX11 that one gang member was angry because a relative was featured in a sex video and thought Guzman-Feliz was in the video.
Guzman-Feliz's death sent shockwaves through the community, and on social media, as the hashtag #JusticeforJunior began trending. Rapper Cardi B, a Bronx native, was among those paying tribute, posting on Instagram about getting justice for the teen.
‘Ocean’s 8’ Tops $100 Million After Third Box-Office Weekend
It surpassed $100 million domestically more quickly than any other “Ocean’s” movie has.
“Ocean’s 8” has pulled off another fast one after topping $100 million domestically at the box office.
The female-dominated heist blew past that mile marker on its 17th day after raking in $11.65 million during its third weekend, Forbes reported Sunday.
Worldwide, the movie ― a continuation of the “Ocean’s” franchise, this time starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson ― has earned $171 million and is still yet to open in Finland, Sweden, Spain, Italy and Japan.
Domestically, “Ocean’s 8” is officially the fastest “Ocean’s” movie to surpass $100 million.
“Ocean’s Eleven,” which was the first of three male-dominated films starring George Clooney, took 19 days to reach that same milestone in 2001, according to Box Office Mojo.
The $41.5 million box-office opening for “Ocean’s 8” was also a series best for the “Ocean’s” movie franchise.
In comparison, “Ocean’s Eleven,” which was 2001′s fifth highest-grossing film, earned $38 million opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.
“Ocean’s Twelve,” released in 2004, earned $39 million opening weekend, and 2007′s “Ocean’s Thirteen” earned $36 million opening weekend.

Halle Berry And her Kids go Vacationing In Bora Bora
It isn’t every day that we get to see pictures of Halle Berry’s kids, Maceo and Nahla. We cherish the moments when the actress chooses to share images of her little ones. Such is the reason why we were overwhelmingly happy to see recent pictures of Halle Berry and her little ones vacationing in Bora Bora, France, despite the celebrity mom creatively covering her children’s faces in most of the pictures.
One photo showed Maceo sitting while rocking a hat with shorts and a t-shirt. The hat was, of course shielding his face from the camera, but Maceo was nevertheless the cool one in the candid. “‘Lei’d’ for the first time,” Halle said of her son’s additional accessory laced around his neck. “Love how she protects her babies from the Hollyweird world,” one fan said of Maceo hiding his face from the camera.
Another photo of Halle and the kids on vacation was of both Maceo and Nahla. The siblings had their backs to the cameras as they took in the beautiful scenery. “Living their best lives…together,” Halle captioned.
Maceo is Halle Berry’s son with her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez. Nahla is the actress’ child with model Gabriel Aubry.
