“Homecoming” Star Julia Roberts for Entertainment Weekly!
Julia Roberts covers the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine photographed by Carter Smith.
On the the current social climate weighing on her: “For people to have a voice in any capacity is paramount,” says the actress. “But it is so, so challenging to find any kind of clarity in these times. There’s so much mire and bulls—. And you feel like it’s five steps forward with #MeToo, Time’s Up.
Then [there’s] this whole Kavanaugh mess, and people are being so disrespectful and unkind. Why on earth would a person put their life through what she is putting her life through and not be telling the truth? I just go, ‘F—, I [don’t] even know which way is up anymore.’ ”
#RHoA: Kenya Moore ‘not invited’ by producers to event filmed for ‘RHoA’, But she was in the Building!
Kenya Moore isn’t done with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” after all. The pregnant reality star attended Cynthia Bailey’s party for Seagrams Escapes on Thursday night and was wearing a mic for the soirée, an insider told Page Six on Friday.
“She was not invited by producers,” the insider said. “She attended as a guest and may or may not appear in the final edit as her appearance did not impact the story.”
We’re told Bailey’s costars Nene Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, Eva Marcille, Shamari De Voe, Tanya Sam and Yovanna Logan were also in attendance.
Earlier this month Moore was spotted showing off her baby bump alongside Porsha Williams, who is also expecting her first child.
Moore, 47, exited the Bravo show in July over contract negotiations
#Empire: Who's in the Casket in Season 5?
Someone DIED on Empire and the mystery surrounding that significant death will be an overarching theme in Season 5.
In a flash-forward six months ahead, Lucious (Terrence Howard) is seen tearfully standing over a closed coffin mourning the loss of someone whose identity has yet to be revealed. Is it--gasp--Cookie (Taraji P. Henson)? Or perhaps a fakeout and the coffin is actually empty? As the season unfolds, showrunner Brett Mahoney says we'll see even more intermittent vignettes that will offer up additional clues as to whose life was ended. However, their death will somehow make sense. "Hopefully it will feel satisfying and significant. And it will have deep ramifications," he previously told TV Guide.
While we wait for the deceased identity to be revealed, here's who we think ended up in that mysterious grey coffin and why.
Cookie Lyon
Lucious' pained expression suggests that whoever is in that coffin meant a lot to him and as his ride-or-die wife, Cookie certainly fits the bill. The loss of the Lyon family matriarch would be devastating but it's not like Empire hasn't toyed with the idea of her death before. Last season, Cookie suffered a mild heart attack that scared her family into getting their act together and she ultimately recovered. And while it seems unfathomable that the show would ever part ways with its animal print-wearing verbal assassin, showrunner Brett Mahoney previously told TV Guide that he's not afraid to kill off a member of the Lyon family, meaning that no one--not even Cookie--is safe in the world of Empire.
Hakeem Lyon
Hakeem (Bryshere "Yazz" Gray) survived a traumatic shooting in the Season 4 finale that resulted in him losing a part of his lung. While the injury has significantly hindered his breathing, thus altering the youngest Lyon's ability to rap, he seems otherwise stable. However, Becky (Gabourey Sidibe) telling Lucious "No one could have known" in the flash-forward hints at an unexpected death. Given that Hakeem is still suffering the side effects of the shooting and he's not exactly taking care of himself, it's possible that his condition could worsen ultimately lead to his death. Stranger things have happened on the show.
No One
What if Lucious isn't mourning the loss of a person, but rather his old life? In one of those ominous flash-forwards, the FBI shows up at the end of the deceased's funeral demanding to speak with him. Given Lucious' extensive list of enemies and his willingness to do whatever it takes to rebuild his fallen empire, it's not surprising that he would ruffle the wrong feathers and cost his family everything, including their old identities. Lucious might be too proud to snitch but that doesn't mean he wouldn't fake the death of a loved one in order to protect them.
Who do you think is in the casket? Let us know!
Empire airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Fox.

#DOMESTICTERRORISM: Here's what we know about the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Police have identified the man who opened fire during Saturday services at a Pittsburgh synagogue. as Robert Bowers, 46. Bowers is a Pittsburgh resident, according to our sister station WPXI.
Eleven people were killed at Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill. Bowers was shot during a firefight with police, which left four officers shot.
Bowers was shot multiple times by police and is in fair condition at Allegheny General Hospital, Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich said.
Law enforcement negotiated with Bowers while he was inside the building, sources said, and during those negotiations he was talking about his hatred for Jewish people. Bowers eventually surrendered.
Federal prosecutors have charged Bowers with 29 counts in deaths of 11 people including:
Eleven counts of Obstruction of Exercise of Religious Beliefs Resulting in Death
Eleven counts of Use of a Firearm to Commit Murder During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence
Four counts of Obstruction of Exercise of Religious Beliefs Resulting in Bodily Injury to a Public Safety Officer
Three counts of Use and Discharge of a Firearm During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence
A social media profile for a man named Robert Bowers shows a feed full of anti-Semitic posts, including one from just hours before the shooting started.
“I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered,” Bowers wrote before he began shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, as he singled out the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a group which helps Jewish refugees enter the United States.
“HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people,” Bowers wrote on Saturday morning. “Screw your optics, I’m going in
HIAS is a nonprofit group that helps refugees around the world find safety and freedom. The organization says it is guided by Jewish values and history.
Back on October 10, Bowers also posted about HIAS, including a screen shot from the group’s website: “You like to bring in hostile invaders to dwell among us?” he wrote.
The social media site Gab.com says Bowers had a profile on their website, the Associated Press reported. The company says the account was verified after Saturday's shooting and matched the name of the gunman mentioned on police radio communications.
The profile was later removed.
Bowers also re-posted comments from others on Gab that expressed hatred towards Jews – one of those postings from the last week claimed that “Jews are waging a propaganda war against Western civilization,” concluding that ‘we are headed towards certain extinction in the next 200 years and we’re not even aware of it.’
Bowers joined others in focusing their ire recently on the refugee ‘caravan’ in southern Mexico, which is making its way slowly towards the United States border, alleging that Jewish groups like HIAS were using it to spearhead an ‘invasion.’
Gab said in a statement that it suspended the alleged gunman's account, backed up the content and notified the FBI, the Associated Press reported.
Gab says its mission is to defend free expression and individual liberty online for all people. The social media site is popular with far-right extremists.

Travis Scott And Kylie Jenner Splurge On $13.45M Beverly Hills Mansion
Kylie Jenner and her baby daddy Travis Scott share an eight-month-old daughter named Stormi and just went half on a $13.45 million mansion in the area known as the Beverly Hills Post Office.
The house was built in 1971 and sold for $6.3 million to a development firm in 2012. The property was renovated before being placed back on the market in 2017. It features a 2,300 square foot master bedroom which includes a his and hers bathroom and takes up much of the home’s second floor. The home also features an upgraded kitchen, a huge swimming pool, a lavish backyard full of greenery and a multi-car garage.
This wouldn’t be Kylie or Travis’ first home, but it is the first home they’ve purchased together.
This could possibly mean that things are getting a lot more serious between the two — which is pretty clear as they both currently refer to one another as hubby and wifey.

Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach Ty Lue after an 0-6 start to the 2018 season.
Sources told ESPN and The Athletic that the Cavaliers are meeting with assistant Larry Drew, who is likely to serve as an interim coach.
Lue, 41, posted a 128-83 record in four seasons as the Cavaliers' coach. He also had a 41-20 mark in the postseason, including a championship during the 2015-2016 campaign.
Lue had three years remaining on his five-year, $35 million contract.
"You helped me see the big picture," Cavaliers star Kevin Love wrote on Instagram. "Life changing experiences and teaching points. Nothing but love and admiration. Know we will work towards something greater together again. Thank you."
The Cavaliers' roster has been informed of Lue's firing. The squad lost to the Indiana Pacers 119-107 on Saturday in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers host the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Cleveland.
Diddy Has A Message For Cassie: ‘If anyone sees @cassie this weekend please tell her to listen to this song 100 times!’
A few days after the singer/actress posted a video of herself hungover.
Diddy posted a pic of Michael Jackson’s song “The Lady In My Life” and captioned the post “If anyone see @Cassie this weekend tell her to listen to this song 100 times! ❤️LOVE.”
I’m surprise Diddy did not post his classic joint “Last Night” featuring Keyshia Cole ….
Aretha Franklin's estate sued over unpaid legal bills
Aretha Franklin‘s estate is being sued by her lawyer. Gregory Reed claims he had trouble collecting what was owed to him by the Queen of Soul — who died in August 2018 at age 76 — while she was still alive and has filed documents seeking almost $54K to cover legal bills dating back to 2012.
In documents obtained by TMZ, the lawyer’s firm claimed they provided a number of services to the ‘Natural Woman’ singer, including negotiations on her final contract with Atlantic Records, but the last payment they received from her was in August 2012 for around $10,000.
It was revealed last month that the “I Say a Little Prayer” hitmaker hadn’t left a will, so her four sons, Clarence, 63, Edward, 61, Ted, 54, and Kecalf, 48, may have to wait years to find out how much of their mother’s estate they’re entitled to.
Franklin owned her estate, several properties in Detroit and maintained ownership of the songs she wrote — except her most popular singles like “Respect.”
Chris Rock Set To Direct Kevin Hart Comedy About Divorce
Chris Rock is putting on his director’s hat for a new #KevinHart film.
Chris Rock will be teaming up with Will Packer to produce a comedy titled “Coparenting” for Universal Pictures. The comedy, which will star Hart, will be written by “Black-Ish” writer Yamara Taylor. The film will tell the story of a stay-at-home dad who takes care of his kids while his CEO wife works. Things fall apart once the wife files for divorce, which leaves the man in financial and emotional hardship. The two end up fighting over the custody of their children and other marital issues.
The project is based on a concept created by Rock and Hart. Working on the producing team with Packer is James Lopez through Will Packer Productions. Rock will also serve as a producer through his company Chris Rock Enterprises. Overseeing the film is Universal Executive Vice President of Production Kristin Lowe with John Cheng and Carli Haney, serving those roles for Hartbeat.
Rock made his directorial debut with the 2014 comedy “Top Five,” which started Rosario Dawson and Gabrielle Union.
Jenna Dewan Officially Files for Divorce From Channing Tatum
Jenna Dewan has made the first move and pulled the trigger to end her marriage with Channing Tatum by filing for divorce.
According to documents obtained by website The Blast, Jenna filed for divorce on Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences.
In the filing — which was filed by high-powered celebrity attorney Samantha Spector — Dewan is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s daughter, 5-year-old Everly Elizabeth Maiselle Tatum. She is also seeking child support and spousal support.
According to the filing, Jenna also is asking to have her name restored to Jenna Dewan.
Along with Dewan’s filing, we have also obtained Channing Tatum’s response — filed shortly after Dewan’s — in which he is also asking for joint custody. The filings are a clear indication that the couple is working together on an amicable divorce.
Our sources say they are negotiating a settlement in private.
The stars were married in 2009 and announced their separation in April.
At the time of their split, the former couple said, “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now,” the couple said at the time of their split.
They continued, “There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision — just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible. We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly.”
Jenna’s career has skyrocketed recently with her role in the hit TV show “The Resident,” while Tatum most recently starred in the animated flick, “Smallfoot.”

Camila Cabello Slams Pregnancy Rumors: 'Leave Me And My Belly Alone!'
Camila Cabello had to interrupt her Friday night festivities when she was made to address false pregnancy rumors after sharing a photo on Instagram. “You’re still the only thing I did right,” Cabello wrote with the image, which, to some fans, appeared to show a small bump protruding beneath the veil of her outfit.
Furthermore, that the bump in question, was a sign that the former Fifth Harmony songbird and her boyfriend, Matthew Hussey, were planned to bring a child into the world together.
Of course, this wasn’t at all the case, and she was more than willing to set the record straight on the gossip. “Guys don’t be crazy. I’VE BEEN TOURING AMERICA EATING DELICIOUS FOODS LEAVE ME AND MY BELLY ALONE!” she debunked with a comment beneath the post.
The silly rumor comes six months after the “Consequences” songbird began dating the 31-year-old British dating coach, her love life with whom she’s kept *somewhat* under wraps ever since they were pictured coupled up in February.
Aside from stepping down from her throne to address baby rumors, Cabello recently wrapped up her touring stint on Taylor Swift’s “Reputation Tour” earlier this month. She’s also slated to perform during this year’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, which kicks off in November.
The #MAGAbomber was a stripper with a ‘steroid problem’
The Florida man charged with sending at least 13 mail bombs was a fitness-obsessed male stripper who dreamt of becoming a professional wrestler, according to a new report Friday.
Cesar Sayoc Jr. traveled to jiggle joints across the country during the 1990s, Ohio event promoter Tony Valentine told the Washington Examiner.
Valentine said the 56-year-old was a “big muscle head” who “wanted to be a professional wrestler — that was his dream.”
“He really couldn’t find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now,” Valentine told the Examiner. “Back in the nineties, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida. He was like a gypsy.”
“He would show up and do an individual act and leave,” he added. “He was dancing for a guy out in Oklahoma, too.”
Valentine vouched for Sayoc in his grand theft auto case in 2014 — when Sayoc was employed as a strip club manager while also dancing at an all-male strip club.
Valentine said he wouldn’t hire the Aventura, Florida, resident again.
“He’s like 900 years old now,” he said. “I wouldn’t hire a 50- or 60-year-old stripper.”
Sayoc’s cousin told NBC News that he worked as an exotic dancer and a bouncer at many strip clubs.
He was a “loose cannon” and a “lost soul” who didn’t speak to his family and had a problem with steroids, the unidentified cousin, who lives in Florida, said.
“He’s been in the strip clubs since he was 22, that was his life,” the cousin said. “He was a male dancer and he wanted to be a wrestler. He was taking steroids. He was all buffed up…. He was built like a rock.”
Sayoc seemed proud of his body. In 2010, he posted a photo collage on Facebook showing himself shirtless and flexing his muscles.
“If birds didnt fly south for the winter and sun didnt rise in the east would tomorrow come.” he bizarrely commented on the photo.
Court records show that Sayoc filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012. The filing said he “lives with his mother” in Aventura and had been working for a year as a “store manager” of an investment company in Hollywood, Florida.
