What a night!

This season of Dancing With The Stars has already been wildly entertaining, and last night the show kicked it up a notch with some Cirque du Soleil-inspired performances — not to mention Laurie Hernandez earned the FIRST perfect score of the season!

Hernandez and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were easily the highlight of the night as they danced jazz to The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson from the Cirque show MJ One and were absolutely on point! Unsurprisingly, their score reflected their flawless number as they snagged the first 30 this year!

Of course there were plenty of other incredible performances throughout the night from Ryan Lochte, Vanilla Ice, and several others, but the other big moment came when Amber Rose apologized to Julianne Hough for their recent misunderstanding over body shaming.

Amber addressed the little tiff following her performance saying:

“Like I said in the package, when you said that, I felt very embarrassed, and I felt like you weren’t talking about my dance, but if I misunderstood, then I apologize. I’m a very positive person, I don’t like to argue or bicker or make things weird, so moving forward I just want complete positive energy and to just have fun.”

Awww!

Well sounds like the message was well received as Julianne seemed to bury the hatchet as well saying:

“The thing I love so much about dance is that it’s a universal platform for people to express themselves. Any person — whether that is age, height, body shape, ethnicity or sexual orientation — it is something that people can express themselves to do. And for me, I am a huge supporter of that and that alone and as a judge, I’m here to solely judge you and everyone in this competition for only the dancing. I want you to know that.”

As for the AH-Mazing performance, check out the best of the best (below) and let us know who you’re rooting for this season!

James Hinchcliffe and his partner Sharna Burgess performed a “showstopper” on Monday’s “Dancing With The Stars.” They danced a paso doble on the show’s “Cirque du Soleil” night. Watch the video below.

Hinchcliffe, who has consistently been among the top competitors this season, has actually danced the paso doble once before. On week two of “Dancing With The Stars,” he and Burke performed the dance to the theme of “The Walking Dead.” Of their routine then, Len Goodman said, “You are a very accomplished dancer.” And Carrie Ann Inaba exclaimed their paso doble was “truly impressive,” and that the pair’s “synchronicity was on point.”

Of course, as noted above, the race car driver has impressed the judges and audience alike since the beginning of the season. On the premiere night, he tied Olymic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez for the highest score. And last week, Hinchcliffe and Burgess beat Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke when both pairs danced cha cha routines.

For his paso doble this week on “Cirque du Soleil” night, which featured performers from the show “Paramour,” Bruno Tonioli said Hinchcliffe “stylistically nailed it.” He also called his and Burgess’ routine “fantastic” and a “Broadway showstopper.” Inaba similarly felt it was “excellent.” And Julianne Hough remarked, “You have so much charisma.. You are the real deal.”

As a result, Hinchcliffe and Burgess received a total of 28 out of 30 points. To watch James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess giving a “showstopper” performance on “Cirque du Soleil” night on “Dancing With The Stars,” watch the video below or click here.

Pascal Duvier can let out a sigh of relief knowing boss lady Kim Kardashian West doesn’t blame him for not being on hand during the horrifying armed robbery in Paris last night.

As you might’ve read, the longtime bodyguard left Kimmy unattended in her Parisian apartment as he protected Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner during their night out at L’Arc Nightclub — which is when disaster struck and the KUWTK was tied up and locked in a bathroom while five men dressed as police officers raided her flat.

The suspects (who remain at large) took an estimated $ 10 million in jewelry, including a ring worth an estimated at $ 4.5 million, plus two cell phones.

According to Us Weekly, the 35-year-old felt totally safe in her luxury apartment while her sisters hit up the party scene.

An insider revealed:

“Pascal was with Kourtney and Kendall at L’Arc Nightclub. Kim felt safe at the apartment by herself. Kim is not blaming Pascal. She felt completely safe at the Paris apartment and doesn’t believe this is his fault in any way.”

The source continued by saying that in light of the attack, Kimye fully intends to amp up security in the future:

“There will be a massive security detail in place for the future. Pascal is staying.”

As they probably should!

We’re just happy the kiddos North and Saint West weren’t around for the whole debacle!

Kim Kardashian’s robbery in Paris was NOT “staged,” despite an outrageous report. Gossip Cop can refute the story’s claims.

MediaTakeOut is blaring in a headline, “MTO Shock Exclusive: New Evidence Suggests… Kim Kardashian And Her Mother ‘STAGED’ The Robbery… Just Like RYAN LOCHTE!! (Here Are The FACTS) #KimRobbery.” But the outlet has NO exclusive information. Instead, it has published theories that the site wrongly claims are proof Kardashian “faked” the whole thing.

“A lot of the ‘evidence’ that is being provided by the Kardashian camp and by the French authorities is just not making sense. An according [sic] to people on social media, who are digesting the facts that have been disclosed, it is starting to look like Kim may have STAGED THE ENTIRE ROBBERY,” writes the webloid, as if “people on social media” are sources to trust on this situation.

Among the weak points MTO makes is “Kim Kardashain was ‘robbed’ of $ 11 million in jewelry that was in a jewelry box, not in a locked safe. Who leaves $ 11M in jewelry out in the open?” But Kardashian was in her own apartment that Kanye West owns at the No Address Hotel, which has private residences. That is the couple’s home. Typically, there isn’t reason to lock up jewelry in your own home.

“Kim not harmed? According to Kim’s publicist, five masked men with GUNS tied her up in her home. They claim that not one of them did ANYTHING inappropriate. Kim is either VERY lucky…,” says the outlet. But it is not uncommon for people to be held up without injury. Many home invasions, such as this one, are about getting valuable goods, not physically harming the victim. And Gossip Cop would argue that binding and gagging Kardashian counts as “inappropriate.”

The site goes on to note, “Kim immediately left the country after the incident. Within three hours after the incident, Kim was on a plane OUT OF FRANCE. You would think that police wanted her to stay, so that they can talk to her about leads.” In actuality, Kardashian was granted permission to leave the country AFTER she met with police and gave her statement. She is not the perpetrator, so there is no reason for her to be held in the country.

MTO also finds it odd that Kardashian’s bodyguard wasn’t with her at the time of the robbery, and calls it “convenient” that her children “were with her in Paris — just in a different home.” First off, again, Kardashian was in her own Paris home. Typically, a security guard would not be needed within her private residence, so instead, he was guarding Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian as they were out partying. Second, daughter North was actually in New York, where father Kanye West was staying. She was not in Paris, contrary to MediaFakeOut’s claim.

Lastly, the webloid suggests that Kardashian may have “staged” the robbery because “ratings of the Kardashian shows are at an ALL TIME LOW.” Yet this would be a pretty disturbing way to purposefully “increase the public’s interest in the family.” Kardashian would face charges for filing a false police report, and the French Interior Ministry would not have confirmed the situation had it been “faked.”

MediaFakeOut ends its piece by saying, “We’re not yet ready to say with 100% certainty that Kim FAKED THE ROBBERY, but it’s really starting to look that way.” No, it’s not. None of these claims actually hold up. West was right when he called “so f*ckin’ full of sh*t” several years ago. Nothing’s changed.

Blac Chyna helped Rob Kardashian reunite with old friends he hadn’t seen in years on Sunday’s “Rob & Chyna.” Get the full episode recap below!

As the episode began, Rob and Chyna were still in Washington D.C. visiting Chyna’s mom, Tokyo Toni, who had an emotional conversation with the two of them. After tearing up and insisting that Rob treat her daughter right, she asked her future son-in-law, “Are you cheating?” Rob insisted he was being faithful, but Tokyo asked to see his cell phone. Rob complied, but when she thought she came across a scandalous image, Rob noted, “That’s my sister.”

Back in Los Angeles, Chyna and Rob discussed their relationship and admitted they moved too fast, with Rob noting, “We probably should’ve got to know each other a little better.” But he insisted he was “very committed” to their relationship and wanted to build it even stronger. Later, Scott Disick asked Rob about where he stands with Chyna’s ex, Tyga, and Rob acknowledged, “He’s not gonna go out of his way to say hi to me.” Scott didn’t understand why there was still animosity, so Rob posed the question, “If Kourtney [Kardashian] had a kid with somebody else, would you be mad?” “I’d be in jail,” Scott replied, and Rob explained it was the “same thing” with Tyga, to which he responded, “This is one f***ed up family.”

Scott then asked Rob why he hadn’t been in touch with his best friends in a long time, telling him, “All they want to do is spend time with you. I guarantee you with all those guys around you supporting you, you’ll feel way better.” Rob, however, was hesitant to reach out to his pals after going so long without communicating. Later, Scott and Chyna discussed finding a way to reunite Rob and his friends so they can start spending time together again. “I feel like he’s got all of these friends that he grew up with that you don’t even know,” Scott told her. “They keep calling me, like, ‘Why have I not met Rob’s future wife?’” Chyna then admitted in a confessional that she doesn’t know any of Rob’s friends, but is eager to meet them. The two then decided they would plan a barbecue for everyone.

Rob later surprised Chyna with dinner “under the stars,” setting up a romantic date in their backyard. “Aw Robert!” Chyna said when she saw he had cooked for her, and added in a confessional, “I can’t even believe that Rob took the initiative and had this romantic date for me. It shows me that he really is listening and I feel like that’s a big step forward.” Rob told his fiancee, “I wanted to do something with just you and me enjoying each other.”

The next day, Chyna set up her own picnic date for Rob to show him that she’s “committed” to their relationship. During the date, she asked, “Do you see us getting married next year?” When he replied “Yeah,” she followed up by asking, “And are we gonna work towards doing the right thing towards each other so that we can make that happen?” He answered, “Trying to marry this chick so I can do that. I gotta care about a lot more than just myself.”

Rob later stopped by sister Kim Kardashian’s house to learn some parenting skills and go through “baby boot camp.” Kim first explained how to change a diaper, and then using a baby doll as a prop, she taught her brother how to properly swaddle a child in a blanket. As he finished wrapping up the baby, Kim exclaimed, “You did it!” and Rob added in a confessional, “I’m gonna need plenty of more swaddling lessons, but I’m definitely happy with the progress I’m making.”

Scott and Kourtney Kardashian stopped by Rob and Chyna’s house for the reunion barbecue, which Rob was very anxious about. A handful of Rob’s old friends soon showed up, but he at first felt a bit awkward around them. Rob’s best friend JJ noted that Rob hadn’t responded to his text messages in a year and a half despite him reaching out once a week. Rob’s other friend, Riley, added that Rob has ignored all of his texts as well. Rob admitted in a confessional he missed JJ’s wedding, adding, “JJ has plenty of reasons to be mad at me… so I just need to get over that little uncomfortable feeling and maintain that relationship with these guys.”

But soon, Rob started enjoying himself while catching up and reconnecting with all of the guys, and promised he’d start responding to everybody’s text messages. He further acknowledged in a confessional it was “good to see all of them,” adding, “I have definitely made a bunch of mistakes over the last few years, but I’ve known all of them since the fourth grade so I just need to really be proactive and work on having a really positive relationship.” And as the episode ended, Chyna let Rob know how proud she was of him for reuniting with his old friends.

Kim Kardashian was “held up” inside her Paris hotel room on Sunday. While thankfully uninjured, Kardashian was “badly shaken” The reality star has not personally commented on the frightening incident.

In a statement to Gossip Cop, her rep said, “Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening by two armed masked men dressed as police officers. She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.”

Back in the U.S., Kardashian’s husband Kanye West was performing at The Meadows Music And Arts Festival in Queens, New York when he signaled something serious had taken place with his family. The singer was performing his song “Heartless” when he was notified onstage by another man of the scary news. West immediately told the crowd, “I’m sorry. Family emergency. I have to stop the show,” before rushing off the stage (video below).

Kardashian has been in France for Paris Fashion Week for the past few days with her mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. None of her other family members have made mention of Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint. Earlier in the day, she attended the Balenciaga show.

Just a few days ago, Kardashian was attacked by notorious prankster Vitalii Sediuk. As the reality star was walking in Paris, Sediuk ran up to her, kneeled down, and kissed her behind. Kardashian’s security team grabbed him on the spot and threw Sediuk to the ground.

Gossip Cop will update as soon as we receive more information about Kardashian being held up at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room.

Sounds like Lady GaGa is hoping her album will start a return to simplicity in our society!

The superstar may have tens of millions of followers on social media across the world, but it seems like that matters little to GaGa, who is plainly hoping that her upcoming album Joanne can do wonders for returning us to a simpler time!

Related: Get More GaGa News HERE!

Speaking with E! News, GaGa got real — and went really deep — about the inspirations for her new album.

They range from her own desire to get back to a time before technology affected relationships, to a story of her aunt — also named Joanne — that served as a serious muse for GaGa’s work.

Joanne passed away at just 19 years old from Lupus — 12 years before GaGa’s birth — but her death, and the stories of her life, were always felt by the singer.

GaGa noted:

“My connection to her has been strong my whole life. I always wondered what it was—the mystery of Joanne—this person that I never got to meet that was an absolute tornado of both love and tragedy. I have all of her heirlooms. She made a chessboard out of clothespins and emery boards that you file your nails with. She would make art and painting. She was someone that did needlepoint and she was a sweet girl that knitted for my Grandma. She worked with her hands.”

And it is clear that GaGa really still takes her untimely death hard, even if Joanne (her father’s sister) never saw GaGa.

The Perfect Illusion singer continued:

“She was a powerful, beautiful force in my family’s life and then it’s like a beautiful light that just goes out, so I’ve always used the fact that she didn’t get to live the rest of her life as a sense of strength and power within me that I have to go out and live the rest for her. That’s what I want people to feel from Joanne, that you can go out and venture into new territory in your life and you can be vulnerable and you can connect more humanly with other people and you can do it in the name of those we left behind.”

So where is this headed with her music?

Well, GaGa believes that Joanne’s presence is one of a lesson for people to get off their phones, get away from their social media accounts, and enjoy the life they have in front of them — because for some, there may not be much time left:

“I hope that I can bring these Joanne vibes to the world. Joanne wouldn’t be on her phone because she would have to look around and see life and what was happening because she never got to see it.”

Wow!

The album, which is set for an October 21 release, clearly has an important and significant hold on GaGa, even beyond being her latest and most ambitious studio creation.

She mentioned:

“I kept envisioning this girl in the middle of the country somewhere crying her eyes out in the field with a drink in her hand and her kid in the other, going, ‘I can’t believe that Lady Gaga understands how I feel.’ The point of this record was to find that human connection with the world in a deeper way. The truth is I want nothing more for both myself and for other people than human connection and love. I just want to be closer to not only my fans, but other people and to build a relationship with them through the music where they know that I’m their sister, know that I’m their friend.”

Awww! That is so cool!

This is certainly a… strange… request coming from Victoria Beckham!

The former pop star-turned-fashion icon has made her point about the Spice Girls reunion that she will absolutely not be a part of, and the point is… she doesn’t want the remaining girls to sing any of their own songs.

What the what?!

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Victoria had an inneresting and bizarre take on whether the girls should sing Spice Girls songs, saying:

“Of course, as a new group, I do [wish them well]. I do think they should sing new material, though, because what we did as the Spice Girls was so special. If they sang Spice Girls songs, I think I might be a bit sad.”

Wait, what?!

Isn’t this the same woman the others actively invited to join the reunion only to turn them down??

Beckham had her opportunity to be a part of this — it’s not like they are going behind her back and doing it without her — so why not let them re-live old Spice Girls memories??

Why get sad about old Spice Girls songs, when Victoria herself had the opportunity to be a part of this and declined?!

What a weird take!!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are not battling over her engagement ring, despite a made-up report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this new fabrication. We’re told it’s a “total lie.”

According to the repeatedly discredited HollywoodLife, Pitt and Jolie are fighting over “who will get the $ 250,000 diamond sparkler.” The untrustworthy site adds its “very difficult for Brangelina to decide” who will take possession of it. The outlet quotes one of its seemingly fictitious (or at least ill-informed) sources as saying, “Angelina wants all of the jewelry that she acquired during her marriage to Brad.” The same so-called “source” adds that there’s nothing she wants more “than her $ 250,000 engagement ring..”

The know-nothings at HollywoodLies further claim, “Brad wants to hold on to it for symbolic purposes,” before putting words into its fake “source,” who allegedly says, “It’s tough because Brad put his heart and soul into that ring… [having] worked with jeweler Robert Procop for over a year designing the most perfect ring imaginable.” The same almost assuredly manufactured “source” is quoted as stating, “Brad would give it up and anything else she wants if he could just keep the kids.”

Pitt is not even asking for the ring. Nor would he use it as a negotiation point for custody. For starters, the actor has zero legal basis for even wanting it or trying to get it back. An engagement ring is contractually the property of the person who receives it after both parties wed. Regardless, Gossip Cop checked in with an actual insider, who exclusively assures us the webloid’s tall tale is a “total lie.”

HollywoodLies made up this story, much like it has fabricated (and been busted for) other stories. Among the doozies the disreputable site has concocted were that Pitt was going to rehab to win Jolie back, and that the couple was going to adopt a seventh kid from Africa to save their marriage. Gossip Cop was told by a rep for Pitt that he and Jolie were not adopting another child.

The outlet also published a bogus story that falsely alleged Pitt was “leaning on” Clooney when Jolie filed for divorce, but at the time the webloid posted its story Clooney was unaware the couple was even splitting. Additionally, HollywoodLife also manufactured a fake report about Jolie “hooking up” with Johnny Depp post-separation from Pitt. Like the current claim about the supposed battle for the engagement ring, all those previously mentioned articles were provably shown to be lies.

Oh, Donald, Donald, Donald…

Donald Trump is at it yet again, and this time, the GOP presidential candidate is doubling down on something he said in a very ugly way a few months ago: he’s unsure he will accept the outcome of November’s election in the US should Hillary Clinton defeat him.

Related: At Least One Person Offers Thoughtful Commentary Here

The Donald spoke to the New York Times on Friday night in an exceptionally aggressive, unhinged manner and tone — which makes some sense, considering the things he’s been doing lately — and yet the key moment came early in their interview.

When asked about what he said Monday at the debates, where he without a doubt stated at the time that he would “absolutely” respect the results of next month’s presidential election, the Donald changed his tune.

He told reporters a very vague thing:

“We’re going to have to see. We’re going to see what happens. We’re going to have to see.”

Uhh… really???

We’re going through this garbage again?!

This comes on the same day where earlier, at a rally in Detroit, Trump once again brought up complaints of a “rigged” election, telling supporters that voter fraud is a “big, big problem” in America (it’s not) and urging them to “go and watch the polling places and make sure it is on the up and up.”

Oh boy.

Video: Late Night Hosts Break Down The Clinton vs. Trump Debate

Of course, this also comes after The Donald is going to double down on Bill Clinton‘s infidelities while in office in the 1990s, because apparently the Republican has literally nothing else upon which to attack Hillary.

Trump said about that:

“Hillary was an enabler, and she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it’s a serious problem for them, and it’s something that I’m considering talking about more in the near future.”

Of course, that’ll come without him acknowledging his own cheating scandals that were endless during the 1990s.

About his hypocritical scandals and choosing to focus upon Clinton, Trump said:

“I don’t talk about it. I wasn’t president of the United States. I don’t talk about it. When you think of the fact that he was impeached, the country was in turmoil, turmoil, absolute turmoil. He lied with Monica Lewinsky and paid a massive penalty.”

Uh-huh.

Further proving he’s the most out-of-touch person in America — and, distressingly, the most dangerous potential politician we’ve seen in a LONG time.
