Niall Horan appeared on Friday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” performing “Slow Hands” and chatting about his upcoming album. Check out the video below!

“Slow Hands” was released earlier this month as Horan’s second single as a solo artist. Along with his debut song, “This Town,” it’s expected to be featured on a full-fledged album, his first without One Direction. As Gossip Cop reported, Horan performed”Slow Hands” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last week, marking the first time he sang the track on television.

Now on the “Tonight Show,” he sat down with Fallon for an interview before taking the stage. The two first discussed his new single, and then Fallon showed adorable photos of Horan playing a toy guitar as a kid. Horan also talked about how he’s become close to Don Henley and sometimes calls The Eagles band member “dad” and he calls him “son.” Before performing, Horan said he’s not announcing when the album will be released.

Horan, of course, has been on the “Tonight Show” before. In 2014, he and One Direction joined Fallon to discuss their album, Four. And, given the late December timing, One Direction also participated in a “Classroom Instruments” edition of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.” For their respective solo careers, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson have made “Tonight Show” appearances, too.

For his part, Horan has also stopped by the “Late Late Show,” where Harry Styles recently had a residency. Check out the video of below of Horan’s new “Tonight Show” interview and performance!

Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!

The Price Is Right is full of delightfully enthusiastic contestants who scream at every noise, flash of light, and movement made on the popular game show.

But one particularly zealous contestant had every reason to lose his shit in Thursday’s episode — because he completely destroyed his round of Plinko!

Ryan came ready to play — he performed a victory lap around the audience just from winning the chance to play a game. But after breaking the show’s record for the most winnings in Plinko, Ryan understandably freaked the eff out.

The contestant won $ 10,000 after dropping his first chip, but he was just warming up. He hit the $ 10,000 slot again on his third AND fifth drops, breaking the record for the most money won in that challenge!

Yeah, we’d chant our own names too if we had that magic touch. Ch-ch-check out the incredible round (below)!

The Famous In Love actress got all dressed up in a metallic silver Philipp Plein gown with a plunging neckline and a slit up to there on Wednesday night, and topped it all off with a tiara. Okay, girl, we see you!

All eyes have been on the 19-year-old ever since she showed up to Cannes with 34-year-old Scott Disick, and spent all day Wednesday snuggling with him poolside.

A source also told People that Bella “really likes the attention” she’s been getting for hooking up with the father of three. Ugh.

This all seems destined to burn out quickly though. Neither of these two seem to have the maturity for a real relationship. We’ll see how it goes, we guess!

Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater appeared on Wednesday’s “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” where the “Dancing With The Stars” winner reflected on his ballroom journey. Watch the video below!

As Gossip Cop reported, Jennings won season 24 of “Dancing With The Stars” on Tuesday. During the finale, the professional football player received a perfect score for his first routine of the night, a Viennese waltz, and then again for his second performance, a flawless freestyle. Since taking home the Mirrorball trophy, Jennings visited Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest to discuss his “Dancing With The Stars” win, where he gave them a glimpse of his brilliant Viennese waltz and discussed his ballroom experience.

On his ballroom experience, Jennings said, “It was hard. I’ve never heard of a frame outside of a pitcher frame before ballroom dance, and it took me forever to figure that out.” Slater, who has danced as a professional on the show for seven seasons, praised the athlete for his hard work during the gruelling rehearsals.”He’s a perfectionist. He works so hard naturally in what he does, as a football player,” she noted. “Translate that into dancing, he never wanted to stop, he wanted to get everything right. He was the best student.”

And on what’s next for Jennings, he said, “I’m doing the tour. I’m excited to do that. I’ll continue to train. I train every single morning.” The star then spoke about his progression as a dancer over the course of the season. “Starting off the show, I say this all the time, if you had told me I would have been in the finale, I wouldn’t have believed you,” Jennings shared. “There’s no way in the world. This is something foreign to me, I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m just trying to get the direction on the dance floor. It’s pretty rough. I’ve come a long way.” Watch the video below!

Ariana Grande Did NOT Fly Back To U.S. On Taylor Swift Plane, Despite Report

Ariana Grande did not fly home to the U.S. on Taylor Swift’s plane, despite a published report. Gossip Cop is told it’s untrue. We hear her tour company and manager arranged for a private jet to get Grande and her mom back home to Boca Raton, Florida.

The inaccurate claim started with the Daily Mail, which wrote, “She then made her way back home with a little help from Taylor Swift, who lent Ariana a private plane so that she could make a quick return to the U.S.” And while certainly a nice sentiment, it’s wrong. Gossip Cop has learned that Grande’s manager Scooter Braun and Live Nation took care of the logistics and picked up the tab for the singer and her mother to return home in a private plane. Grande was greeted on the tarmac in Boca Raton by her boyfriend Mac Miller.

As we previously reported, not long after the terrible tragedy in Manchester, Grande canceled her “Dangerous Woman Tour.” It remains unclear at this point whether the singer will resume the tour at a later time. Grande was slated to perform more concerts in Europe through June, and then additional shows that would continue into September in Latin America, Asia, and Australia.

Grande had just completed her show at the Manchester Arena on Monday when a terrorist, now identified as Salman Abedi, exploded a handmade bomb, designed with nails and bolts to hurt and kill as many innocent concertgoers as possible. At present, 22 have died from the savage attack, while another 59 remain injured. Before heading back to the U.S., Grande tweeted, “broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words.”

Georgina Callander, who was killed in the Manchester bombing, is being mourned by the cast of “Once Upon A Time.” The actors met the teen just last month.

As Gossip Cop reported, on Monday an Ariana Grande concert was rocked by an explosion that left 22 people dead and at least 59 injured. The first identified victim was Callander. The 18-year-old previously met Grande at a meet-and-greet, and also spent time with the stars of “Once Upon A Time” at a fan convention just weeks ago. Now they are expressing shock and sadness over her tragic passing.

Sharing on Twitter photos they took together, Emilie de Ravin tweeted, “RIP @emiliesatwell remember meeting her last month. Beautiful, sweet girl. She gave me the most lovely letter…at a loss 4 words #Manchester.” The former “Lost” actress also wrote on Instagram, “RIP Georgina you beautiful soul…words can’t express my anger and sadness towards the people involved in planning and carrying out the attack last night in #Manchester.”

“[Heartbroken] is an understatement. My love and courage goes out to Georgina’s family and friends and to all the families and friends of the victims last night. Praying for eternal peace for Georgina and all involved… xoxo,” de Ravin added. Her “Lost” and “OUAT” co-star Rebecca Mader retweeted photos Callander had posted from their meeting, writing, “I am heartbroken to wake up to learn Georgina was taken from us in Manchester. R.I.P Georgina. You were such a special girl. I’ll miss you.”

Mader further posted on Instagram, “I can’t believe Georgina was one of the victims in Manchester… I am so heartbroken. She was so sweet and kind. Her smile lit up the room. I’m sending love to all that knew and loved her.” Lana Parilla, who also met Callander, expressed, “We lost a ONCE fan, @emiliesatwell , in the #manchesterexplosion last night. Devestating. RIP sweet Georgina.” Fellow cast member Faustino Di Bauda also tweeted, “Georgina was taken suddenly without reason. Loved and missed by many. RIP @emiliesatwell #manchesterattack #OncersMessagesForGeorgina.

Karen David, another “Once Upon A Time” cast member who met Callander, also shared a photo and tribute on Instagram. “I’m deeply saddened to hear that this sweet, and beautiful lady, Georgina, who I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to for awhile, only a couple of weeks ago at #SBUK3 was one of the innocent victims in tonight’s atrocity in Manchester,” she said.

The actress went on, “It’s not fair, it’s not right. It makes me so angry and it breaks my heart that such a young and promising life has been stolen away! But I refuse to give in to hatred. I continue to choose love. I continue to choose unity because when we join together, we are strong! We will not be afraid. Dearest Georgina, may your kind soul rest in peace. Heaven has gained an angel… My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your friends.”

“Saddened to hear about the death of Oncer @emiliesatwell last night!! No words! #thoughtswithmanchester,” said Colin O’Donoghue. Michael Coleman commented, “Can’t stop thinking about you today @emiliesatwell Your smile, love, and kindness made this world a better place <3.” He added, “#Oncers often use cast pics as their profile pic to show love & respect. Today I do so for one of brightest Oncers we had in this fandom. <3.”

The profile photo on Callander’s own Twitter and Instagram pages is the above picture with de Ravin. A GoFundMe has been started in the late teen’s honor. Gossip Cop extends condolences to all friends and family.

Gal Gadot, Chris Pine Tease “Wonder Woman” On “GMA” (VIDEO)

Wonder Woman Cast GMA Video

(ABC)

Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and the cast of Wonder Woman appeared on Tuesday’s “GMA” to tease the highly-anticipated film adaptation of the classic comic book character. Watch the video below!

Gadot initially came out solo to discuss the significance of Wonder Woman finally coming to the big screen. “It was an honor to do this part. I’m all about strong female figures,” the actress told Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan. The Israeli star was considering leaving the industry before this project came along, struggling with the constant rejection. “Then Zack Snyder wanted me to audition for a role that I didn’t even know about, turned out to be Wonder Woman, and the rest is history,” she revealed.

Gadot was later joined by Pine, fellow cast members Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright, and director Patty Jenkins. Wright called being on the female-led set “empowering.” She explained, “We were strong. We didn’t just feel strong. We were strong. We trained every day.” Nielsen commented, “My son is going to grow up thinking strong, amazing women is the best thing there is.”

Noted Jenkins, “There’s the me that made the movie that hopes everyone likes it, and there’s the that, you know, was a Wonder Woman fan. I can’t wait to see it myself in that way.” Amidst all the inspirational remarks was also a lot of laughs, particularly with a game called “Lasso of Truth.” Jenkins, for instance, revealed it was Gadot who broke character the most, but only because she was “paired with the funniest guy of all time.”

Pine even joked that Gadot’s nickname was “The Giggler.” Strahan was then taken aback when he asked the actor his “biggest quirk,” and he confessed he still uses a flip phone. “The flip world is a whole world you gotta get into it,” Pine cracked. Check out the video below!
