She scored a new gig just because of how funny she is!

"We're thrilled to have Leslie come to the Olympics. She's a member of the family, and her passion for the Olympics is remarkable," NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell said in a statement.

Mel B just got majorly denied!
The Spice Girl and husband Stephen Belafonte got turned away from Hollywood's hottest hotspot, The Nice Guy, on Monday night. Oh diss!
The scary singer took the rejection in stride and signed autographs for fans while her hubby tried to negotiate his way into the trendy West Hollywood eatery.
It turns out the couple was turned away because there was a private birthday party going on -- so hopefully their pride wasn't bruised too much.

It's hard out there for skinny Kim Kardashian!
While the reality star finally hit her goal weight of 125 pounds, Kimmy K experienced one big downside to her weight loss -- her chokers don't fit any more!
In a Snapchat video that Kim posted, she plays with her choker and says with what we hope is faux concern, “Guys, we’re having real problems here. See my choker? Look how big it is! My neck even lost weight. Is that wild or what?â€
That's right Kimmy -- this is a real problem. Donald Trump may become president, there are non mass shootings around the world and and ISIS is still a threat -- but those all pale in comparison to your too-big choker problem.
Meanwhile, Kimbo is trying an unusual beauty routine -- cupping. And of course she's sharing about it on social media, because according to Kim, "If she doesn't share it, it doesn't exist."
Kim's clearly been watching the Rio Summer Games and noticed that the Olympic swimmers are covered in cupping marks and wants to get in on the ancient trend (Yep that's an oxymoron). For those of you not in the know: cupping is an ancient Chinese myofascial decompression therapy.

This is going from bad to worse...
Amber Heard is prepared to call estranged husband Johnny Depp to the witness stand if her divorce goes to trial, and apparently the actress has documented proof that she received medical treatment for prior incidents of domestic abuse, TMZ reports. Not only that, but she allegedly has videos and audio of his violent outbursts. Yikes!
The actress' plans to call good friend Raquel Pennington and Pennington's boyfriend Joshua Drew as witnesses, given that they were in the building the night of the alleged attack.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, on the other hand, has over 23 witnesses he plans to have corroborate his side of the story, including security guards, maids, building concierge, and Amber's own publicist Jodi Gottlieb.
Michael Phelps is in it to win it -- and unfortunately South African competitor Chad le Clos felt the heat of his desire to dominate when he fell in the line of fire of Phelps' death stare before their big race at the Rio Olympic Games on Monday night.
The 31-year-old Olympian swimmer was captured grimacing at his rival, who was busy getting pumped for his race by dancing around and shadow boxing before he competed. Clearly Phelps was having NONE of it -- sitting and judging instead.
After the semifinal heat for the men’s 200m butterfly, Phelps discussed le Clos’ wild prep tactics saying: "Everyone has their own race strategy. If that's his, that's his.†That's basically Phelps throwing shade without throwing shade!
We can see why there'd be some animosity towards Le Clos, the swimmer famously beat out Phelps for gold from Phelps in the men’s 200m butterfly at the 2012 Olympics.
However, it seems like Phelps should have been aiming his rage at Hungarian swimmer Tamás Kenderesi. Last night's race ended in Kenderesi in first place, Phelps in second, and le Clos in third. The men’s 200m butterfly final will be held on Wednesday, August 10.

The stork is working overtime!
Holly Madison welcomed a baby boy with husband Pasquale Rotella, the couple announced in a touching Instagram post. The Electric Daisy Carnival founder couldn't help but gush about his new son while confirming the news.
"What an incredible week. A crazy, stressful start, which transformed into this magical moment. First, a five-year-long indictment against me was finally dismissed; then yesterday Holly, Rainbow & I welcomed a healthy 8-pound, 14-ounce baby boy to the family. Now I'm holding my beautiful son at the hospital reading amazing birthday wishes from all of you. Definitely one of the most memorable weeks of my life! Lots of love to everyone who took the time to post, tag or send me a message online. I'm grateful & touched! We'll be heading home from the hospital later & I'll be posting photos of the new baby soon. Thanks 'n love you ALL!" he captioned a photo of himself holding the newborn's hand.

Why not show off the results of your rigorous diet and workout regime!
Kim Kardashian headed to an office building today in Burbank and flaunted her impressive slim down in a silk dress, tight corset and a jean jacket. Earlier this morning, Kimmy K Snapchatted a photo of her scale reading 125.4 pounds, and bragged about the post-baby milestone.
"I haven’t been this in years!!! 5 lbs to go!" she wrote. The reality star has shed a reported 60 pounds since giving birth to son Saint, and it shows!
"Having a positive self-image has always been important to me because it affects so many aspects of my life: My work, my relationship with my husband and my life as a mom,†she mused in an accompanying blog post, before revealing that she worried she would never get her body back.
"I was motivated, but it was tough! It isn’t easy to just bounce back. I was so jealous of women who had these cute little baby bellies and would gain 25 pounds — and then, a few weeks after giving birth, somehow look exactly like they did before they were pregnant … That’s not me," she continued.
The brunette beauty then took the opportunity to thank Yeezy for his unconditional support and encouragement.
"A big source of my confidence is my husband. I'm my own biggest critic. … He always encourages me, and makes me feel confident about owning all my curves and showing them off. As North gets older, she'll start to be more aware of herself and her body. Her attitude toward her body is directly related to my own, so it's my responsibility to make sure she understands that positive body image comes from having a healthy self-esteem," she concluded.
We're actually shocked she was able to snap back like this!

It won't be much longer before she pops!
Behati Prinsloo is nearing the end of pregnancy, but the model still looks stunning in a bikini! The South African beauty is expecting her first child with husband Adam Levine, but she kinda just looks like she ate a big lunch.
"[I’m] super excited. [Behati] is good. She’s eating a lot of watermelon. Like, you know, because you get random cravings for stuff, and it’s just like, so much watermelon," the Maroon 5 rocker revealed to Jimmy Fallon.
Their little genetically blessed princess is on her way!
