Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson) is super busy promoting her mom’s new shot Mama June: From Hot To Not.

The reality star appeared on The Tomorrow Show with Keven Undergaro Monday night alongside older sister Pumpkin and they talked about their lives, the Kardashians, and more.

One thing we learned is that Alana is obsessed with Kylie Jenner and would love to meet her. She said:

“I would love love to meet either Khloe or Kylie. We went to [Kylie’s] pop up store in California. [If I met her] I’d ask can I get a year’s worth of free Kylie Jenner stuff. I would ask her for a picture. I just love Kylie and I love how she can change her hair in like a quick second.”

As for Kim Kardashian West, Alana and Pumpkin both think she’s a little “overdramatic.”

Regarding her life at school, Alana admitted that her classmates treat her normally. She said:

“[They treat me] like a normal kid…[The show] is just something that I don’t, like, like, I don’t talk about. Like, no one talks about it.”

The 11-year-old also spoke of her estranged father, Sugar Bear (Mike Thompson), saying that she believes her pops and mother would have broken up no matter what, even if they hadn’t been on a reality show:

“Yes [they would have broken up] because like Pumpkin said I mean I don’t think Sugar was a good match for her.”

Unfortunately, Alana doesn’t speak to her father either. She said:

“Yes we did [go to his wedding] but he doesn’t come up and see me…and he really doesn’t have anything to do with me, kind of.”

When talk turns to her future, Alana reveals she has it all planned out and it has nothing to do with show business:

“I want to actually have my own hair salon, so of course I’m gonna own the hair salon so I can go whenever I want ’cause I’m the owner. And I’m gonna have, like, maybe a couple of side jobs.”

Still, we have a feeling she’ll be involved in showbiz in one way or another.

Lisa Kudrow said on Tuesday’s “Today” show that a “Friends” reunion would be “fun,” but once again confirmed there is nothing in the works. Watch below.

Kudrow was on the morning show to promote her latest movie, Table 19. But during the course of the live interview, Savannah Guthrie couldn’t resist asking about “Friends.” The anchor segued into the topic by bringing up the “Will & Grace” revival, about which Kudrow said she’s “really excited.”

Guthrie replied, “Okay, now, see how you’re excited? That’s how people would feel if ‘Friends’ had a reunion! Do you think it could ever happen? I mean, could you get the group together?” Kudrow jokingly answered that she “personally” couldn’t orchestrate it, and pointed out, “But we have convened. Privately. For dinner. And it was great.”

“But what about us?” asked Guthrie. Kudrow responded, “Well, I’m sorry… It was really fun. We had such a good time. It was hilarious. We were laughing non-stop.” Guthrie shot back, “See, now you’re just being mean.”

As the actress continued to tease the NBC personality, Guthrie continued to press on the possibility of an actual on-screen reunion. “But if we don’t tell you one’s coming and then it doesn’t happen, you have no reason to be disappointed,” Kudrow argued. “I’m managing expectations. I don’t see it happening, [but] it would be fun.”

The star’s comments back up Gossip Cop’s own reporting. In November, we busted a Life & Style cover story that falsely claimed a “Friends” reunion show was in the works. Kudrow’s rep, along with spokespeople for the rest of cast, exclusively told Gossip Cop the report was untrue. Check out the video from “Today” below.

Good news for Amanda Bynes!

On Monday, it was revealed that the former Nickelodeon child star is officially off of probation!

In case you forgot, the All That alum was initially placed on probation after she was arrested in 2014 for driving under the influence of Adderall. And while the stimulant was prescribed by a doctor, the industry vet took it right before she got behind the wheel — which caused her to fail several sobriety tests.

Eek.

At the time, Amanda was struggling with her mental health as well as smoking marijuana recreationally. Doesn’t seem like the best combo to us. Just sayin’…

Nonetheless, that’s all in the past for Miz Bynes as her lawyer told TMZ that her case had concluded back on Friday. YAYYYYY!

In fact, things seem to be going very well for the 30-year-old as she’s currently in school at the Fashion Institute Of Design and Merchandising. It’s said Amanda plans to debut her fashion line sometime later this year.

It sounds like the once controversial celeb is bracing herself for quite the comeback! Oh, we hope so.

Ashely Tisdale is NOT pregnant, despite speculation that started after she attended an Oscars party on Sunday. Gossip Cop can help set the record straight.

Tisdale and husband Christopher French went to Elton John’s Oscars party, a star-studded bash the music icon hosts every year during the Academy Awards. The formal affair naturally included a red carpet, and Tisdale posed both alone and with French. The actress wore a blue gown, and in some photos, fans apparently thought it looked like she had a baby bump.

But those supporters, while likely well-meaning, jumped to the wrong conclusions. Tisdale tweeted on Monday, “The pressure to being perfect is a struggle. No im not pregnant, I’m just happy and haven’t been strict on my diet but thanks for the reminder.”

One fan with the Twitter handle “@Totidadn” wrote back, “@ashleytisdale im the one who said that you are pregnant!! I saw your body last night you were different! But i adore u no matter what.” The “High School Musical” star has not responded, but did get a lot of supportive replies from fans encouraging body positivity.

Other celebs have found themselves in similar situations over the years. As false rumors circulated about Khloe Kardashian expecting back in 2010, she bluntly responded, “I’m just fat.” More recently, last June, Gabrielle Union hit back at an untrue pregnancy report by tweeting, “Newsflash! Women have these things called periods. On occasion there is bloating…and breathing.”

She went on to say, “Didn’t realize my uterus needed a publicist to account for its comings & goings (uterus hijinks! Whatta rascal) #periodwatch #bloatnotababy. I know some are disappointed but ANY news abt my uterus will be shared by me. PS It’s weird to create fake pregnancies for ppl #periodwatch.”

Moonlight won Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars, but La La Land was initially announced as the winner before the mistake was discovered live on stage. Celebrities are now reacting to the crazy moment from the Academy Awards. See stars’ tweets below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Warren Beatty presented Best Picture alongside Faye Dunaway, but he took a long pause after opening the envelope. The actress thought he was joking and called him “impossible” before taking the card and announcing La La Land as the winner. The producers of the musical gave their acceptance speeches just before the mixup was revealed, and Beatty explained that he was given the envelope for Emma Stone winning Best Actress.

Ellen DeGeneres noted, “Nothing like live TV. Congrats to Moonlight! And to La La Land for such a gracious reaction.” A shocked Jessica Chastain reacted by tweeting, “Oh my God!!!!” while Katy Perry similarly expressed, “WHAT WAIT OMG.” Patton Oswalt joked, “Warren Beatty just became the new host of FAMILY FEUD.” And William Shatner asked, “What happened to Best Picture?”

Nick Swardson said, “Well, that’s the most bizarre thing I’ve seen. Maybe not give old drunk people envelopes. I wouldn’t let my mom open my gas bill. John Stamos offered, “Somebody is going to get there ass handed to them #envelopegiver #OMG #Oscars.” Chloe Grace Moretz noted, “So that was wild,” while Andy Cohen wondered, “CAN THIS YEAR GET ANY F**KING WEIRDER!!?????”

Rosie O’Donnell tweeted, “ooooops but a happy ooooooops #moonlight surprise #odd #wildweird #howdidithappen #resist #Trumprussia
.” Patricia Heaton stated, “Wow. Someone is enjoying their last day in show business. #Oscars #MoonlightMovie.” Marlee Matlin wrote, “Did we all see what just happened at the #Oscars ?? Live TV is the best! Congratulations @moonlightmov!” And Anderson Cooper said, “that was craaaaaaazy.”

Meanwhile, Billy Eichner quipped, “IF ANYONE FROM THE IN MEMORIUM IS STILL ALIVE PLEASE LET US KNOW.” Jesse Tyler Ferguson added, “Maybe I won an Emmy one of the 5 times I lost! Anything is possible. Congrats to #Moonlight. An amazing and deserving best picture winner!” Larry King offered, “A great #Oscars spoiled by a bad envelope… #itsmy2cents.” Bill Maher noted, “Well come on, Bonnie & Clyde – they ARE robbers.” And an eagle-eyed Neil Patrick Harris said, “Warren Beatty seems to be opening an envelope that says ‘Actress in a Leading Role’. He must have been handed the wrong one somehow. Yikes.”

The 2017 Oscars got political on Sunday night, with many presenters and winners making references to world issues. See a few of the highlights from the Academy Awards in the videos below.

Host Jimmy Kimmel began his monologue by noting the “country is divided,” and admitted he couldn’t unite people, but suggested everyone reach out to someone for a “positive conversation” to “make American great again.” The host went on to talk about the “overrated” Meryl Streep, a reference to President Donald Trump’s tweet about the actress, and then asked if she was wearing an “Ivanka.” He added, “I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist?”

Shortly later in the show, Kimmel made a reference to reporters being banned from last week’s White House press briefing, saying, “If you’re from CNN or the L.A. or New York Times, if you work for anything with the word ‘Times’ in it, even like Medieval Times, I’d like to ask you to leave the building right now, ok?” He added, “We have no tolerance for fake news. Fake tans we love, but not fake news.”

Meanwhile, Gael Garcia Bernal addressed Trump’s plans to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico while presenting the award for Best Animated Feature Film. “As a Mexican, Latin-American, migrant worker, human being, I’m against any form of wall that wants to separates us,” said the actor.

Gossip Cop will continue adding more political speeches from the 2017 Oscars.

Fans are reacting to the news that Judge Joseph Wapner is dead. The straight-shooting judge on “The People’s Court” died at the age of 97. See reaction tweets to his death below.

Wapner was hospitalized last week after suffering from breathing problems, Gossip Cop has learned. He returned home on Friday, but died on Sunday morning after his condition worsened. The retired judge presided over “The People’s Court” from 1981 1o 1993. Prior to becoming the first reality TV judge, Wapner sat on the Los Angeles County Superior Court for two decades.

One Twitter user wrote, “First Bill Paxton, and now Judge Wapner died. Today sucks.” Another user tweeted, “RIP to Judge Wapner. Your People’s Court was a memorable piece in the lives of many.” And an account holder with the handle @puffwoody shared, “The first tv judge who started it all, Judge Wapner, has died. RIP.”

Meanwhile, @redbirdfan1980 offered, “Watched the People’s Court everyday after school. Judge Judy’s got nothing on you. RIP Judge Wapner #thepeoplescourt.” Another fan said, “Judge Wapner.. Used to watch all the time… RIP your honor.” And a user with the handle @KrisZim77 wrote, “Looking back on my youth, it’s strange I was so into #PeoplesCourt at 8 years old. RIP Judge Wapner…very well the pioneer of reality TV.”

Another Twitter user stated, “Ah, man … not Judge Wapner. Thoughts and prayers to his Honor’s family & Friends. #RIP.” “Used to watch Judge Wapner with my grandmother, who would threaten to put me on the People’s Court if I didn’t listen to her. RIP,” shared one fan. And @Evan76FGrace expressed, “Awww…RIP Judge Wapner! I used to watch People’s Court with my grandma and I loved him!” Gossip Cop will continue to update as more fans react to the death of Judge Wapner.

Wow!!!

Meryl Streep and Karl Lagerfeld have both released new statements in regard to their “feud” — or misunderstanding — regarding whether she would be paid to wear the designer’s gown at the Oscars tonight.

Related: Are The Oscars Guilty Of Ageism?

In case you forgot, the feud grew this week when Lagerfeld accused Streep of “cheapness” in a report that she eventually chose a gown from another designer so that she could be paid to wear it.

Now, after a few days of simmering feud feelings after Lagerfeld’s “cheapness” comment made Streep look, well, not great, both parties have released new statements updating their positions in the affair.

To Lagerfeld’s credit, he apologized a bit in his statement, acknowledging he may have misunderstood Streep’s motivations, saying in full:

“Chanel engaged in conversations with Ms. Streep’s stylist, on her request, to design a dress for her to wear to the Academy Awards. After an informal conversation, I misunderstood that Ms. Streep may have chosen another designer due to remuneration, which Ms. Streep’s team has confirmed is not the case. I regret this controversy and wish Ms. Streep well with her 20th Academy Award nomination.”

Great, right? All’s well that ends well?

Not in this case!!

Streep released a statement too, and she went IN on the initial false accusations, the bad reporting therein, and the fallout from it that has made her look bad on the eve of the awards show!!!

Streep’s statement, in full:

“In reference to Mr. Lagerfeld’s ‘statement,’ there is no ‘controversy’: Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication. That publication printed this defamation, unchecked. Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues, globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record-breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honor in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience. I do not take this lightly, and Mr. Lagerfeld’s generic ‘statement’ of regret for this ‘controversy’ was not an apology. He lied, they printed the lie, and I am still waiting.”

WOW!!!

You know what? Good for her.

Yes, good for Lagerfeld for owning up to the misunderstanding — but good for a legend like Streep who won’t let herself be defamed thanks to an unfortunate and untimely misunderstanding.

Should make tonight’s show even a little more controversial than it already might have been!!

What do U think, Perezcious readers?? Let us know your thoughts on the controversy in the comments (below)!!!
