The film is getting rave reviews and so is Beyonce's custom Alexander McQueen dress from last night's The Lion King world premiere in LA!
The Queen B, who voices Nala the lioness who urges Simba to take back his throne in this new live action film, stole the spotlight on the red carpet, despite her former Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland also looking amazing at the event.
Bey recently dropped her first single "Spirit" from the soundtrack for the film which drops July 11th, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's the lyrics video since the official clip hasn't yet dropped ...
Bey said of collecting music for The Lion King: The Gift, "It was important that the music was not only performed by the most interesting and talented artists but also produced by the best African producers. Authenticity and heart were important to me."
The album will feature a version of Sir Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Donald Glover who voices the Simba character. In addition to Glover, the rest of the film's cast was in attendance last night, of course ... and non-castmembers like Halle Bailey who was recently cast in another Disney classic. She'll play Ariel in a real-life remake of The Little Mermaid.

After fans speculated Kim Kardashian might have had a couple lower ribs removed to accommodate the super-tight Thierry Mugler drip dress the reality star wore to this year's Met Gala, KK cleared up the rumors in her recent interview with The WSJ, saying, "I don’t even know if that’s possible."
So in other words, it's not something she wouldn't consider, she just didn't know it was possible :)
But seriously -- this is CRAZY -- she said she had to take breathing lessons in order to wear the dress! She explained, "I have never felt pain like that in my life. I'll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took it off -- the indentations on my back and my stomach." Holy crap!
Apparently she could barely sit down and couldn't go to the bathroom. Was it really worth it?!
Meanwhile, Kanye wore Dickies jeans and his own Yeezy combat boots. Dude was super comfortable while his wife suffered! Smart move, we think!
Justin finally joined the fray, showing off his roundhouse skills in his version of the #BottleCapChallenge. He took that opportunity to nominate his wife AND his silent nemesis Tom Cruise.
So here goes Hailey's ... looks like she's in the same back yard with the same bottle as Justin and we're assuming this is their house in Canada. She's riding a lawn mower and literally NO ONE in Beverly Hills owns a riding lawn mower so she must be abroad (which means anything outside of the 90210 zip code for people who live in the tony neighborhood) ...
Hailey nominated fellow model pal Kendall Jenner and girlfriend took it to the next level! On a yacht in the Mediterranean, Kenny jumped on a jet ski and, as she passed by the bottle, knocked the cap off with he toe -- a little bit like Hailey, but Hails' was more hillbilly and Kendall's totally VIP BUT she's getting BLASTED in the comments for knocking the bottle cap in the ocean! We're pretty sure the deckhand of the yacht retrieved it ...
Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds took a different angle on the challenge -- he turned it into a commercial for his Aviation Gin. And he put a little spin on his very viral video ...
And the winner is! She doesn't even have to use her hands ... or feet ... just her DIVA super powers!

Billie Eilish IS gonna do it her way because ... it's the only way! The alt-pop star took to social media to defend herself against online trolls who criticized, fetishized and made every other sorta comment on a photo of her in a tank top that circulated online (which we can no longer find, by the way). And this is how she did it ... with the above meme and the below Instagram Story video ... of her laughing ... and laughing ... and laughing ...
In the Calvin Klein ad she did, she "spoke her truth" about how her famously baggy clothing liberates her: "That’s why I wear baggy clothes -- nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she's got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don't know.†Watch ...
Well, in a random pairing of the day, we know Camila Cabello's a supporter!

If there's one thing Ariana Grande is ... it's honest! (And a million other things like beyond talented and funny and sweet and charming and cute, etc., etc.)
The singer spoke to Vogue magazine recently and, of course, was asked about her incredibly tough time as of late, making it through Mac Miller's death, a broken engagement with Pete Davidson, and of course all of that coming off the Manchester disaster the year before. She tells the mag, "I'm a person who's been through a lot and doesn't know what to say about any of it to myself, let alone the world. I see myself onstage as this perfectly polished, great-at-my-job entertainer, and then in situations like this I'm just this little basket-case puddle of figuring it out."
She said, of being on tour after all of this immense hardship, "... it's hard to sing songs that are about wounds that are so fresh. It's fun, it's pop music, and I'm not trying to make it sound like anything that it's not, but these songs to me really do represent some heavy sh*t."
And that's what caused her to break down during a recent performance of the single "R.E.M." in St. Louis -- watch ...
Before putting her head in her hands she has difficulty making her way through the lyrics, "Before you speak, don’t move / ’Cause I don’t wanna wake up.â€
Fans were, of course, concerned, so Ariana released a statement on Twitter but for some reason, ended up deleting it. It read ...
“I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing a lot…so sometimes I cry a lot! I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to deserve to meet so many loving souls every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know that it really does carry me through. I feel it and appreciate it. and all of you [so] much. I want you to know that if you are hurting, you can push through and are not alone. It is hard to balance taking care of the people around you, doing your job, and healing / taking care of yourself at the same time…but I want you to know, you aren’t alone and I think you’re doing great. love you.â€
Stay strong, Ariana and if you can't ... Arianators are right there for you!
How cute is this couple? Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis must have learned this in mommy-and-me class and clearly Mila was paying more attention in class that Ashton because he hardly knows the lyrics to "La Vaca Lola," a rendition of which he posted to Instagram yesterday.
Parents to Dimitri, 2, and Wyatt, 4, the celeb couple don't often post photos or videos of themselves but they recently shared a hilarious video in which they went along with a tabloid headline claiming they were breaking up. Who knew they were such a funny pair?1

More tea! Kardashian bestie Larsa Pippen is spilling it and it's goooood!
The Basketball Wives star, estranged wife of baller Scottie Pippen, says she could see the cheating scandal between Khloe's baby daddy Tristan Thompson and Kylie's BFF Jordyn Woods brewing ...
Pippen spoke with Hollywood Unlocked and explains but saying, "... there were other situations where [Jordyn and Tristan] were in the same room together and it was like, a weird feeling. And Kourtney was in that room ...I called Kim. She didn’t believe me — she was like, ‘No way. There’s no way,’ †Pippen said. “Then we called Kourtney and Kourtney was like, ‘Yeah, I believe it."
Whoa!
Woods, 21, denied having sex with Thompson, 28, when she spoke to family friend Jada Pinkett Smith on the actress' Red Table Talk back in February, just after the scandal broke. She claims the two just kissed and that Tristan made the advances and that she was shocked when it happened.
When Unlocked was about to publish the story earlier that month, the site's Jason Lee contacted Larsa to let her know what was about to go down which is why she was the one charged with calling the family the break the news. Not a fun situation! We're curious to see if Larsa's got more info she'll drip drop piecemeal to the press to draaaaawwwww this story out ...
Mrs. Bieber took to Instagram to honor her husband and the year-anniversary of their commitment to each other. She posted a beautiful shot of her and Justin together at the Aman Resort in Utah where the pair recently vacationed.
She wrote, "1 year ago I said yes to being your best friend for life, and today I have never loved you more.. life gets more beautiful everyday because of you, my heart belongs to you forever. vHere’s to learning and growing together.. â¤ï¸ðŸ¥‚"
Okay ... we're DYING! These two are adorable together and their honesty and openness and willingness to work on their relationship and tell the world things aren't always perfect and there are challenges is AWESOME. Congrats and many, many, many, happy years to come for these two!
