A new Netflix program with Chelsea Handler? We're already on board!
When the news broke that Handler was not renewing her contact with E! at the end of the year, we were wondering where she'd go next, and now the
New York Post reports that the comedienne "has a deal with Netflix, but the format is to be decided." That was easy!
A few weeks ago Handler went on Howard Stern’s satellite-radio show and slammed E!, calling it a “sad, sad, place to live," and she added that she thought Netflix would be a good fit. “They don’t know what they’re doing [at E!]. They have no ideas. It’s a failure,” she said.
Hopefully she'll have better luck at her new employer!

What's going on here?!
Khloe Kardashian posed in a bizarre sheep costume while holding a handgun and uploaded the photo to her Instagram account yesterday, and we're not exactly sure the statement she's trying to make with this!
"A wolf in sheeps clothing. Photo cred @spifftvfilms," she captioned the pic.
In case you were wondering, Spiff TV is associated with the reality star's new beau French Montana's music management company Maybach Music Group.
We think it's a bit of a faux pas for Khlo to clutch a weapon, considering it was recently revealed her rapper boyfriend was shot in the head during a 2004 argument!
This looks like the beginning of a bad romance!

One Direction kicked off their world tour last week in Colombia, and while their first show went off without a hitch, their second concert in Peru left 47 fans requiring medical attention.
At one point during the set the group stopped singing and Niall Horan warned the crowd to stop rushing the stage or else 1D would be forced to pull the plug. "If you don't want anyone to take us off the stage, make sure you stay back," he said, while Liam added, "Or we'll have to go - and we don't want to go." Thankfully it seems like most of the injuries sustained during the mini-stampede were minor, but this is still quite scary!
Just to give you an idea of what they were dealing with, Liam Payne tweeted the photo above from the band's hotel in Lima and wrote, "I will never understand, and you will never understand what this does to somebody ... why? no one could deserve this." And this was before their concert at the Estadio Nacional!
The head of Peru's volunteer fire service, Mario Cassareto told a Peruvian radio station that tents were used as emergency pop-up treatment stations and they were handling everything as best as they could.
"We treated 47 children with the first stages of asphyxia. Everything is under control. We have nothing to be ashamed of, we've handled the situation well," Cassareto said. "We put in place a second evacuation plan so that the younger fans were not affected. We're working with the police and the security companies [who were contracted for the show], 911 and VIP. It's under control. We are still treating those with symptoms of asphyxia that we pulled from the back. The ministry of health has set up tents."
Sounds like the fangirls really need to simmer down!

E.J. Johnson partied at 1Oak on Saturday evening, and as always, he outdid everyone at the club with his leopard-print sweater and fancy patent leather loafers. And we'd totally kill to raid the accessory section of his closet -- you know he has a better selection of purses than Barneys New York!
E.J. hasn't spoken out about the racist comments Clippers owner Donald Sterling made the other day, but he did post a photo on Instagram that said, "Black is my happy color," and he wrote, "#AllBlackErryThing #TeamThis #Happy #Fashion." Wonder if that was his response to the nasty comments Sterling made about E.J.'s dad Magic Johnson? Or maybe this just has to do with his clothes?
An alleged audio file of Sterling and girlfriend V. Stiviano was posted on
TMZ last week, and not only did Sterling say he didn't want Stiviano bringing African American pals to Clippers games, but he also
slammed her for hanging with MJ!
"I think the fact that you admire [Magic] -- I've known him well, and he should be admired. And I'm just saying that it's too bad you can't admire him privately," Sterling said in the leaked recording. "And during your entire f*cking life, your whole life, admire him -- bring him here, feed him, f*ck him, I don't care. You can do anything. But don't put him on an Instagram for the world to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games. OK?"

Looks like being slammed by the Internet can't rain on her parade!
On Sunday night, Avril Lavigne was all smiles when she caught a flight to Brazil out of LAX. Maybe she hasn't heard about everyone hating her new song?
For the international flight, the Canuck wore black pants, a black Gotham hoodie, flip flops and a beanie. She added a fierce accessory with her leopard-print backpack.
Last week, critics and fans panned Avril's new Harajuku-inspired music video, "Hello Kitty," for being racist and catering to Asian stereotypes. From the dancing girls to the dubstep-infused beats, we think the whole thing is just bad news. Oh Avril -- why'd ya have to make things so complicated?

A week in the hospital can't get Miley Cyrus down! Following a severe allergic reaction to medication, Miley is back and ready to continue her
Bangerz tour. This morning on On Air with Ryan Seacrest, the headline-making singer finally broke her silence after the hospitalization
“I’m doing good, much better, happy to be on the phone with you guys,” Miley told Ryan and co-host Ellen K.
“So basically I had gotten sick while I was on the road,” she explained. During the midwestern leg of her tour, the "Adore You" singer took some doctor-prescribed medication for the flu and then,
“On the sixth day, I just woke up … it was so scary … I had basically been poisoning myself with something I didn’t know I was really scary allergic to.”
The 21-year-old spent one night in the hospital, returned to her tour and then fell ill again the next morning. The former Disney star then returned to the hospital for a second time. “It was insane. I was begging the doctors, ‘Let me out to go do the show!’ It was basically no way.”
The singer was laid up for a week and said it was difficult dealing with the boredom.
“I was crying because I was so bored. I’m laying here hooked to all these machines. Every two hours, some woman comes in and pokes me with a needle, just miserable … I’m just laying here with nothing to do … I ended up doing some online shopping."
But luckily for her fans, Miley's on the mend, assuring Ryan and Ellen, “I should be all good … I’ve been really good.”
The "Wrecking Ball" crooner will be heading to Europe for her tour and then will be returning to the States to make up the concerts she missed during her health scare.
We're glad to hear it -- the Internet is certainly much less fun without Miley's wild antics!

It could be any day now!
Kendra Wilkinson spent her Sunday at son Hank's soccer game in Calabasas, and the reality star looked uncomfortably pregnant!
The
Kendra On Top star and her husband Hank Baskett are set to welcome a baby girl, but until then, they are focusing on their little boy and his milestones!
"Me and my soccer star. He scored seven goals today," she captioned the below Instagram snapshot.
The pregnancy process has been a little more challenging for the former
Playboy playmate this time around!
"It's easier on the mind, harder on the body. It's been brutal. I think because little Hank stretched me out, I know that sounds pretty gross, but he stretched me out all the way! I think she got a chance to sit lower faster, so she's been on my pelvic bone all pregnancy," she told
E! Online earlier this month.
Load up on the spicy foods and get this baby out, girl!

George Clooney and fiance Amal Alamuddin might be tight lipped on their recent
engagement -- but that doesn't mean Alamuddin's bosses are! The British human rights lawyer's law firm has gone public with its first official confirmation of the secret betrothal. That means it's real you guys! George Clooney is actually engaged!
"The barristers and staff of Doughty Street Chambers offer their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin, a member of Chambers, and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married," the firm said in a statement to Reuters.
Barrister Geoffrey Robertson also commented that Alamuddin is respected by her colleagues and is a, "brilliant and passionate defender of human rights." In addition, Robin Jackson, chief executive of her law firm, told the news outlet, "She brings a bright light to everything she is involved in, and I am so delighted at her happy news."
On Saturday, news broke that Oscar-winning actor-director popped the question to the 36-year-old sometime in the past two weeks.
On April 23, the pair dined at Craig's in West Hollywood and, according to an eyewitness, they were toasting their engagement, reported
Us Weekly.
The duo made their first public appearance together at the White House screening of Monuments Men in February. Since then, Clooney and Alamuddin vacationed together in Africa in March and also took a trip to the Seychelles.
George is going to be owing some of his famous friends like Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt some serious cash after this shocking engagement. The Cloones has famously bet his famous friends that he won't ever be getting married again (he was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989-2003). Looks like by winning big in love -- Georgey boy is losing some big money! We guess it's worth it!
