Exactly a year after The Bataclan in Paris, France was hit by a deadly terror attack that left 90 people dead at the venue, they re-opened their doors last night, with Sting as their special guest.
“We've got two important things to do tonight," Sting told the crowd, before observing a moment of silence. “First, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attacks a year ago ... and to celebrate the life and the music of this historic venue ... We shall not forget them.â€
The massacre took place during an Eagles of Death Metal show, and in addition to the 90 fatalities at the club, a total of 130 people were killed in Paris that night in the coordinated attack. After the tragedy, members of the band accused staff at the venue of being "in" on the plot. As it turns out, they tried to gain admittance to the show last night, and they were turned awa. "They came, I threw them out — there are things you can't forgive," Bataclan co-director Jules Frutos told Agence France-Presse.

After Kate McKinnon, who usually plays Hillary Clinton on Saturday Night Live, sang Leonard Cohen‘s “Hallelujah†for the cold open for the show, Dave Chappelle took the stage to weigh in on the recent presidential election.
In his first-ever monologue as host for the show, Chappelle touched on many issues in the news -- and injected his witty thoughts on the matter.
“You know, I didn’t know Donald Trump was gonna win the election,†Chappelle began. “I did suspect it. Seemed like Hillary was doing well in the polls and yet … I know the whites. You guys aren’t as full of surprises as you used to be. But America’s done it, we’ve actually elected an Internet troll as our president."
“The whites are furious," Chappelle continued. "I haven’t seen white people this mad since the O.J. verdict. It’s a split screen with white people on both sides — ahh! I’m not saying that I enjoy it, I’m just saying that I’ve never seen this before. I watched a white riot in Portland, Oregon, on the television on the other night. News said they did $1 million in damages the other night, black people watching were like, ‘Amateurs.’ â€
“Why do we have to say that black lives matter,†he asked. “Why do we have to say it? Now, I’ll admit that’s not the best slogan but McDonald’s already took ‘You deserve a break today.’ And I guess it’s kind of catchy because everyone is biting it. Police are biting it — ‘blue lives matter’ — what were you born a police, that is not a blue life. That’s a blue suit, you don’t like it, take the blue suit off and find a new job. I’d tell you right now, if I could quit being black today, I’d be out the game. I did the next best thing, I became a rich black person.
“I don’t know what he’s gonna do, but I know Obama did a good job,†he concluded. “I think we’ll all miss him when he’s gone … I’m wishing Donald Trump luck and I’m going to give him a a chance and we, the historically disenfranchised demand that he gives us one too.â€

What's new?
On Saturday Khloe Kardashian went to Chrissy Teigen's house in Beverly Hills for a party, and the reality starlet rocked a sexy rust-colored dress that left little to the imagination. Those curves are just killer! And the glasses? We're not sure if she needs them or they're merely decorative, but we dig 'em!
Last week Khloe jetted off to Ohio to hang with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, but she rushed back to LA when little bro Rob and Blac Chyna welcomed baby Dream. The two have been dating since August, but last week a rumor popped up that the two broke up because his teammates were giving him a hard time. We kinda doubt that, but we do wonder when she's going to see him again!
In the meantime, Khloe has been busting that sexy booty at the gym. "Dead after my workout with don!" She tweeted on Friday. "I have such a long day but I will push through. Legs are legit jello 😫." Keep at it, girl. You got this!

Who knew?! It's baby #2 for Pink! The singer surprised fans with a beautiful photo of her daughter Willow, hugging mom's pregnant belly.
The 37-year-old singer was dressed in a boho long, white flowing dress and the photo was captioned: "Surprise!"
Pink and hubby, pro freestyle motorcycle racer Carey Hart, 41, were married in Costa Rica in 2006; they broke up in 2008 and then reconciled in 2010 after marriage counseling. In June 2011, the couple welcomed their daughter.
Earlier this year, Pink joked with Ellen DeGeneres that she and Hart were due for another break: "We take breaks. We've had two breaks. The first one was about a year. And the second one was 11 months. ... [We're] due."
In May, the "Just Give Me a Reason" singer said during a Good Morning America appearance, that she wanted a second child. "I feel like I have two kids right now. I would like a third. ... Carey's an awesome husband and a really good dad, but he's also like a second child."
Rob posted a side-by-side photo of Dream and his dad on Instagram and wrote, “She's an exact copy. Pops sent us an angel. It's truly a blessing. He's happier than anyone on this day ðŸ™ðŸ½ðŸ™ðŸ½ I'm so happy and thankful ☺ï¸.†Awww!
After Chyna delivered their daughter via C-section, they had all kinds of famous family and friends visiting at the hospital. Kris Jenner was on hand for the birth, and Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashain, Scott Disick and Chyna's BFF Amber Rose stopped by as well.
On Thursday, E! confirmed that Dream’s birth will be featured on the upcoming Rob & Chyna Baby Special, which set to air on Sunday, December 18. And so it begins...

And we've fallen back in love with Shia LaBeouf again...
He may have all sorts of issues, but the actor also has some serious rapping skills, as evident from his appearance on the the "5 Fingers of Death" freestyle rap challenge on SiriusXM's "Sway in the Morning" radio show.
"Get ready, get set, this a meme," LaBeouf began. "This is wild, this is a childhood dream." He then went on to rap for about five minutes, and he even labeled himself the "Jewish Pac," referencing the late, legendary artist Tupac Shakur.
Just watch the video above -- it will blow your mind!

Showing her support!
On Friday Serena Williams touched down at Los Angeles International Airport, and she was rocking an aviation-inspired outfit for Veterans Day. The back of the onesie read, "I feel the need ... the need for sleep." LOL! If you haven't seen Top Gun in a while, a) you should definitely watch it again and b) you'll know that was a famous line from the film, except it was fighter pilots Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Goose (Anthony Edwards) saying they felt the need for "speed."
The tennis star had no comments on the election, but she did give our photogs a smile when a fan offered her a doughnut to go with her coffee. "I'm not eating donuts right now," she said when she politely declined the offer. "But they look good." Aww, we just love her!

Kanye West made his way through Los Angeles International Airport on Friday to catch a flight to Germany, and this is the first time we've seen him out and about in a few days. Nice jacket, Yeez!
As you may remember, back in 2015, at the MTV VMAs, Kanye announced that he was running for president. It seems crazy, but seeing as Donald Trump was just elected, maybe not. In an interview with BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac earlier this year, Kanye revealed that he's dead serious. “We are numb, we’re numb to 500 kids getting killed in Chicago a year, we’re numb to the fact that it was seven police shootings in the beginning of July, we’re numb to places on the Earth that we don’t live — like our life is okay but it’s okay for other people’s lives to not be okay,†he explained.
“When I talk about the idea of being president, I’m not saying I have any political views,†he continued. “I don’t have views on politics, I just have a view on humanity, on people, on the truth. If there is anything that I can do with my time and my day, to somehow make a difference while I’m alive I’m going to try to do it.†You know...we kinda like where his head is at! When we ran into him at LAX, he stayed mum on the matter, but based on his previous comments we think he's serious!
In other news, wife Kim Kardashian recently celebrated a low-key Halloween with the kids, and Kanye has been super supportive of her desire to stay out of the spotlight post-robbery. Kim “has enjoyed the much-needed hiatus from her usual whirlwind pace," according to a source for People. “She’s been spending so much more time with the kids, taking them to school and classes. She’s definitely working behind the scenes — just less. It’s more like she’s trying to use this time to get her ducks in order and prioritize her life. [Kimye] seem hunky-dory. And Kanye isn’t rushing her back out into the public eye.â€
On Friday, new daddy Rob Kardashian took over Kim's website to share a few snaps, and he even penned a few blurbs about it! “Now you know Kim loves Halloween. She couldn’t disappoint North once she found a Princess Jasmine costume from back in the day,†Rob wrote. “North is crazy into Princess Jasmine right now. So being the good mommy she is, she wore her old princess Jasmine costume to match North! They got a magic carpet, lamp and Saint had to be Aladdin. Kourt threw a Halloween dinner for the fam. This will be my life next Halloween!â€
