Wow, this just breaks our heart.

Former The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was shot three times while signing autographs after performing with pop/punk Before You Exit following their show in Orlando Friday night.

According to reports, the man who shot the singer was tackled by her brother but then shot himself and is confirmed dead.

Christina was rushed to a hospital where she reportedly remains in critical condition.

We pray she makes a full recovery. This is just such awful news.

We’ll keep you updated as soon as we learn more.

Well, that officially settles it!

It had been difficult to keep up with Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik‘s complicated relationship status ever since word got out that the precious pair had split.

Between the blonde beauty referencing her “boyfriend” amid the breakup rumors, sources SWEARING the stars weren’t back together, and Miz Hadid’s own father, Mohamed Hadid, guessing that they’re “probably” still dating, we had no idea what was actually happening.

But now we FINALLY do!

On Friday, the One Direction alum and the model were caught on camera arm-in-arm AND holding hands (above) while leaving the 21-year-old’s New York apartment.

Do you need any more picture proof than that, Perezcious readers?!

And, this comes just one day after the UK native was snapped leaving his lady love’s pad solo. Looks like he wasn’t stopping by to pick up his stuff! LOLz!

Anyway we’re happy that these two have worked things out, and even happier that we finally know where the heck their relationship stands!

Lamont Richmond, the Cleveland man who initially claimed to be the person who Justin Bieber got into a fist fight with earlier this week, is now saying he lied and wasn’t the singer’s opponent.

As Gossip Cop reported, Bieber was punched in the head by another man outside his Cleveland hotel on Wednesday night. The singer then swung back, but was pulled down to the ground as a group of people jumped in to break up the scuffle. The entire altercation was caught on video, and following its release, Richmond posted a Facebook message in which he took credit for brawling with Bieber.

“We just asked the d*ck for an autograph,” Richmond said in his video, later claiming that when he asked the singer if he’d take a photo and sign an autograph for two of his female friends, Bieber supposedly responded, “No autographs tonight, motherf***er.” Richmond further alleged that Bieber smelled like alcohol, and got aggressive with him first. He went on to claim that he had consulted with a lawyer, and planned on suing the pop star.

However, Richmond is now backing down and denying credit for the fight. He says that since coming forward as Bieber’s supposed adversary, he’s been getting death threats from Beliebers, and even lost his job. Richmond has yet to give an explanation as to why he lied about being the man in the video in the first place. Richmond’s involvement in the situation, and whether or not he’s lying about lying, is still unclear.

Laura Wasser is NOT here for Amber Heard‘s shenanigans!

According to the top divorce lawyer in El Lay, Amber is doing everything she can to avoid giving a deposition in her restraining order case against Johnny Depp. Ms. Heard originally filed her request for a permanent restraining order just two days after she filed for divorce from the actor on May 25.

Now that the hearing for transitioning Heard’s temporary order into a permanent one is coming up on June 19, Ms. Wasser wants to sit A.H. down for her depo ASAP.

Unfortunately for Johnny’s team, however, the actress claims she doesn’t have any free time prior to the next court date. The blonde even went on to argue that her best friend, Raquel Pennington, also isn’t available to chat with Laura.

What’s particularly interesting about the beauty’s claims is that she and her team had made tentative plans to meet with Wasser on June 10 to discuss a potential settlement. Considering the 30-year-old was free and clear to meet then, it’s confusing as to why she suddenly is too busy to give her testimony.

In a statement to TMZ, L.W. slammed Amb’s excuses, saying:

“[Amber] has tried her claims in the media. It is now time to do so in a court of law.”

Dayum! We wouldn’t want to mess with Laura!

Given the fact that Amber is seemingly avoiding her depo, some fans have begun to speculate that she doesn’t want to be caught lying under oath. A deposition could potentially unravel Ms. Heard’s entire case.

So, do YOU think the gorgeous gal is avoiding Wasser?

Fierce.

In case you weren’t able to attend Madonna‘s recent Rebel Heart tour, the A-lister stopped by Jimmy Fallon‘s The Tonight Show to perform for Thursday’s episode. Oh, and the pop icon did NOT disappoint!

We mean, it’s no secret that we love Madonna — but how can you not love when Madge performs a classic like Borderline? Bravo!

Of course, this aired performance comes shortly after news broke that the Material Girl FINALLY met President Barack Obama while taping for Fallon’s show. And it seems the industry vet may’ve inspired POTUS as he got musical for his bit with the late night host. Yup, Jimmy brought back Slow Jam the News just for Obama and the politician made sure to throw a little shade at Donald Trump.

Be sure to ch-ch-check out Madonna’s killer performance (above) and Obama’s HIGHlarious bit (below) for yourself!

Make sure to watch The Tonight Show weeknights at 11:35 p.m. EST on NBC!

If class is more of your style, looking up to Erin as an inspiration won’t be a problem.

The 2016 CMT Awards co-host lit up the awards night with her outfit changes, and I dare say, alongside the ceremony itself.

First up was her sparkling silver gown, which was complemented by a high slit, as well as a rosy lip color and soft curls.

Then there was that nude gown with a sheer overlay, then the black-and-white cocktail dress with the plunging neckline. Talk about presentation!

The 39-year-old ended her array of outfits with an easy-on-the-eye, jazzy blue ensemble: sequin pants, dark blouse, and a blazer.

That is how you style, ladies.

Colton Haynes is clapping back!

On Thursday, an interview was released in which Real O’Neals star Noah Galvin slammed the way the 28-year-old came out as gay, calling it “f*cking p*ssy bullsh*t!”

And we weren’t the only ones who thought that was pretty harsh!

The Arrow actor took to Instagram to defend himself, admitting that he had even previously said the 22-year-old deserves an award for his work on the ABC sitcom, writing:

“It’s extremely ironic that only a month ago I was tweeting this kid & saying he should win an Emmy for his work. Then today he returns the favor by calling me a p*ssy & the worst to the entire world.”

Yeah, that doesn’t exactly seem like a fair exchange.

Not to mention, The CW alum also explained that he and the New York native don’t even know each other, adding:

“Let me just clarify, I’ve never met this kid, so for him to judge me without even meeting & having no idea the struggles I’ve been through or where I come from is absolutely uncalled for and quite embarrassing on his part.”

Aaaaaaaaand that’s another point for Colton!

Plus, he specifically went after Noah for calling out the way he came out, penning:

“Since when is a three pg article in Entertainment Weekly not an appropriate way to come out? And since when did he become the judge of what’s appropriate. Shouldn’t we all just be supporting each other? Enjoy all of your success. You’re young kid… hopefully you’ll eventually learn a thing or two. Good luck. I’m sure I’ll seeya around.
– Colton P*ssy Haynes”

Well, it looks like the young star DID learn a thing or two, because he took to Twitter to apologize, writing:

But that’s not the only sorry statement Noah dished out. He also issued an apology to X-Men director Bryan Singer, who he said likes to “diddle” little boys:

Jessica Simpson is NOT trying to get her own Las Vegas residency, despite an inaccurate tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We’re told it’s “not true.”

According to In Touch, Simpson wants to follow in the footsteps of singers like Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez by taking the stage in Las Vegas. A so-called “source” tells the tabloid, “She’s hell-bent on landing a Vegas residency and proving to everyone that she’s still got it.”

The magazine’s misinformed source further claims that Simpson is planning to utilize “state-of-the art technology and backdrops paired with her sex appeal” for her supposed show, and “thinks she can give the other headliners a run for their money.” The outlet’s seemingly phony source adds, “After 20 years in the music business, Jess is excited to follow her dreams and become a Vegas legend.”

But Gossip Cop checked in with a rep for Simpson, who exclusively tells us that the tabloid’s claim about the singer supposedly gunning for her own Las Vegas show is simply “not true.” Maybe it’s time for In Touch to find better sources. In the past, Gossip Cop exclusively busted the gossip rag for wrongly reporting that Simpson and her sister Ashlee were “at war” over each other’s parenting skills. Much like that tale and many others, the current report about Simpson angling for a Las Vegas residency is also untrue.
