Kanye West sparked more controversy on Wednesday by tweeting and then deleting a pro-life message shortly after giving an interview in which he voiced his distaste for Planned Parenthood. The 43-year-old musician, who announced his plans to run for president in 2020 earlier this week, took to Twitter again to share a decidedly pro-life stance with a photo that showed fetuses at the six-month mark of gestation. According to TheBlast, West shared the images from a Google search of the phrase “what does a 6 month fetus look like” along with a tweet that read, “These souls deserve to live.” The outlet reports that the tweet was quickly removed from West’s account.

Chrissy Teigen has shut down rumors she used to rub shoulders with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The mother of two has been vacationing in Mexico with her husband, John Legend, and their kids when her attention was turned to Twitter on Monday after a number of Twitter users suggested she once boarded the late convicted pedophile's private jet.

Famed director Lee Daniels will executive produce and Fred Savage, the star of the original series, will direct a reboot of the hit program -- this time built around a Black family, ABC announced Wednesday. The half-hour comedy will focus on how a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, "in the turbulent late 1960's, the same era as the original series, made sure it was The Wonder Years for them too," the network said. The reimagining comes as issues of racial justice have taken center stage in Hollywood and across the globe following the death of George Floyd in police custody. The original "Wonder Years" series was a coming-of-age dramedy centered around teen Kevin Arnold and his suburban family. It was set from 1968 to 1973 and ran on ABC from 1988 to 1993. ...

Screenshot: Disney Parks/YouTube Walt Disney World will reopen to the general public this weekend, despite the fact that Florida is currently identifying about 10,000 new cases of coronavirus per day. But if that isn’t surreal enough for you, check out Disney’s latest video welcoming guests back to the parks. It looks like a bad knock-off of Jurassic Park, except the theme park isn’t filled with hungry dinosaurs—it’s crawling with a deadly virus. The new video, which is available on YouTube, features shots of attractions like Epcot’s Spaceship Earth and Animal Kingdom’s Expedition Everest. But there are several elements that feel very out-of-place as the video continues. Most of the Disney employees are wearing masks and some even have face shields as they’re hosing down the walkway...

In June, the band formerly known as Lady Antebellum announced it would change its name to Lady A to remove any association with slavery. But weeks after appearing to reach an agreement with Seattle-based blues singer Anita White, who has been using the same name for more than a decade, the country group announced on Wednesday it is suing her.  "Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended," the band members of Lady A said in a statement to CBS News. "She and her team have demanded a $10 million payment, so reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that we need to ask a court to affirm our right to continue to use the name Lady A, a trademark we have held for many years."

Johnny Depp allegedly attacked Amber Heard when she withheld his meds while he was supposed to be detoxing on his private Caribbean island, his libel trial heard Thursday. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star went to his Little Hall’s Pond Cay in the Bahamas in August 2014 with then-fiancée Heard “acting like a nurse,” he told London’s High Court, according to the Daily Mail.

Vili Fualaau — whom Mary Kay Letourneau raped when he was 12 years old but went on to marry and have kids with — “lost a piece of himself” when she lost her battle with cancer this week, a close friend of his said in a new interview.

Letourneau initially told police the boy was 18, raising suspicions that something sexual was going on. About two m...
