It's so obvious they hate each other!

Kelly Ripa returned to Live! With Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, and rather than shying away from the drama, she addressed it head on.

"Guys, guys, guys. Guys, guys, guys, our long national nightmare is over. Please, be seated. Look, I am not — I'm going to be completely honest. I'm fairly certain that there are trained professional snipers with tranquilizer darts in case I drift too far off message. OK. I first want to honestly, sincerely thank you for welcoming me back to the show. The show of support through this bizarre time has been really overwhelming. I really — I needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts after 26 years with this company, I earned the right and let's be honest. I know half of you called in sick to be here, so we get each other," she began.

"I gained some perspective. I always speak from the heart. I didn't want to come out here and just like say something I might regret. So what transpired though over the course of a few days has been extraordinary in the sense that it started a much greater conversation about communication and consideration and most importantly, respect in the workplace. And since we're being honest, I don't consider this just a workplace. This is my second home. This is a place that I've devoted myself to not just because of you, our loyal viewers, but because of all of the producers and the crew who work on this show. We have an incredible team," she added. That sounds like a diss!

Michael then took the opportunity to chime in!

"I'm so happy you're back. And one thing I know about you is you love the show. You love the fans. You love this staff. I love you. And I'm so happy you're here because you brought me here with [Michael] Gelman and this show has — it's been transforming for me. And I know the show lives on. And I know the show lives on because you are the queen of morning television. And it will continue to go," he gushed.

That sentiment is opposite to what people are saying about the warring co-hosts! Apparently, Strahan was sick of Ripa's bullying and overbearing personality, and he jumped at the opportunity to get away from her and have better co-hosts, TMZ reports.

At least the ice is melting!

This is so weird ... and we kinda like it!

Cody Simpson went for a bike ride in Venice Beach, California on Monday, and the Aussie singer happily pedaled along in his bare feet while checking out the windows of a handful of stores. Last month he was spotted wandering around Malibu sans shoes, so clearly this boy is just not a fan of them...

In other news, ever since splitting from former flame Gigi Hadid last year, Cody hasn't exactly settled down -- in fact, we have no idea who he might currently be dating! He was recently linked to smokin' hot model Sahara Ray, and though the two hung out last week, he was seen flirting up a storm with a number of ladies at Coachella the previous weekend. Though their Instagram snapshots would indicate otherwise, "Cody and Saraha are friends. Sometimes they go out but mostly they hang as friends" a source told Daily Mail Australia.

Since splitting from baby mama Kourtney Kardashian, who recently turned 37, Scott Disick, 32, has been dating all kinds of young ladies. Emphasis on young!

After partying at Coachella and making some stops here and there in Vegas over the last few weeks, the reality star was seen out and about with Australian model Megan Blake Irwin, 21, in New York City over the weekend. X17online photographers snapped these exclusive photos of the couple jetting out of LAX on Friday night, but the two didn't exactly look super lovey dovey.

Aside from dating Hollywood douchebags, what are this Aussie stunner's big life goals? “Victoria’s Secret is something that myself and my agency have both been very strong about doing,” she recently told Confidential. “When I was a little girl I used to turn it on [the lingerie show] and walk around the living room with my little wings. It’s something I used to do when I was younger and it’s something I have an interest in. I definitely wouldn’t take it off the cards at all.”

Hmm, so perhaps this romance is a bit strategic, then? At least everyone is getting something they want...

Blac Chyna hit up a shoe manufacturer's showroom in downtown LA today for the second time in a week, preparing the launch of a signature line of shoes, X17online can report, exclusively.

The curvy lady made sure all eyes were on her when she stepped out in Los Angeles' Fashion District in a red crop-top ensemble complete with racing stripes down the side. Damn that booty of hers is big!

In addition to causing a scene with her figure, Chyna picked up boxes labeled "BC" and loaded them into her new $200K Lamborghini that fiance Rob Kardashian gifted her last week. And for all you lookyloos, check out the image of strappy heels on the side of the boxes. Strippers of the world unite! Blac Chyna will help you dance your way into the hearts (and wallets) of many a man!

Meanwhile, the newly engaged star, who made sure to flash her ring about, was assisted by equally big-bootied BFF Charmeika, who loaded up her white G-Wagon with the large boxes.

We'd think BC wouldn't have to do the grunt work herself, but perhaps she enjoys getting her hands all over everything (other than Rob, of course)?

Oh and in case you forgot, Rob owns sock line called Arthur George and with Chyna's new line of footwear in the works, these two really could be the perfect pair. HEYOH!

Most people would not want to be thought of as a "hot mess" but Kate Hudson is not most people!

The movie star, who turned 39 on Tuesday, April 19, had her annual "Hot Mess" themed birthday bash, but this year she spiced it up with an added "Wedding Edition" theme -- and it looked pretty epic! The funky fest was a joint birthday party for Hudson, jewelry designer and Tobey Maguire's wife Jennifer Meyer, and writer Derek Blasberg.

Kate and her fabulous besties looked like they parties up a storm at the fun-filled soiree. Some of the attendees included Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jen Meyer, Rachel Zoe, Sara Foster, Derek Blasberg and Leslie Mann.

There was crimped hair, veils, barely there crop tops, bad make-up, fishnets, Solo cups and so much posing. All the posing!

Although we didn't get to see a snap of them Demi Moore, Rumer Willis, Naomi Campbell, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Falchuk and Chris Martin also attended.

Amy Schumer is on fire -- or at least her crotch is!

Gracing the cover of Vanity Fair, the funny lady is red hot in a Calvin Klein Collection bodysuit.

In the interview she talked about a number of things including the shooting that happened during a showing of her film Trainwreck in a Louisiana movie theater last July

On July 23, 2015, John Russell Houser entered a Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater and began shooting, killing two women and injuring others.

Schumer said, “It really … I don’t know. It’s like when the Dark Knight shooting happened, and in Paris. The idea of people trying to go out and have a good time—you know, like looking forward to it?—I don’t know why that makes me the saddest.”

A solemn Schumer said, "So my publicist told me. And then I put on the news. I was by myself in a hotel, and I was just like, I wish I never wrote that movie.”

Despite knowing the shooting wasn't her fault, the friends who reached out to her only made it worse. “I just felt helpless and stupid,” she said.

Schumer seems to have dealt with those trying times and has been thriving. We're glad to see she's a fighter -- women and comedy need it!

Now that the Purple One is gone, there's a lot to be sorted out!

Following Prince's tragic early death last Thursday at age 57, those closest to him must now figure out how to allocate his massive estimated $250 million fortune. The icon's only child died when it was only a week old, and he wasn't married when he passed, so most experts agree his estate will go to his sister Tyka and his five half-siblings, although the inheritance is a lot less than what it could have been.

The reason? Apparently the "Purple Rain" crooner had been mismanaging his money in the years leading up to his death, and refused to sell his massively lucrative music catalog. The music legend primarily brought in income from his concerts, and was reportedly spending way more than he was grossing, TMZ reports.

It is still unclear whether Grammy winner had a will, and his spokesperson has declined to comment on his finances.

Who cares about money?! Prince died and now it's boring on Earth!

It's getting serious!

Gigi Hadid celebrated her 21st birthday on Saturday, and her boyfriend Zayn Malik took the opportunity to fly his family out from England so their families could meet! The group spent time relaxing on the beach and swimming in ocean in Malibu, and it looks like a great time was had by all.

The "Pillowtalk" crooner's mom Tricia, older sister Doniya, and two younger sisters, Waliyha and Safaa got to know his lady love's mom Yolanda and sister Bella, and we have a sneaky suspicion that an engagement is not far off.

Following her day by the sea, Gigi headed down to catch some performances at Coachella on Sunday night, and continued the celebration with bestie Taylor Swift. T-Swizz presented her pal with a gorgeous birthday cake, and it was the perfect way to cap off a fun-filled weekend!
