Bruno Mars received the second-ever Visionary Award at Sunday’s 2017 Teen Choice Awards. Watch the video below!

At the ceremony, Yara Shahidi led a tribute to the singer, who was actually in Indiana for his “24K Magic Tour.” In a pre-recorded message, Mars said, “Thank you so much for this ward. This means so much to me… Have no fear, because I got a little surprise for y’all.” He then debuted a preview of his upcoming music video for “Versace On The Floor.”

Teen Choice announced on Thursday that it would celebrate Mars with one of its special honors. The Visionary Award was only given out once before, to Gwen Stefani in 2005. That was more than a decade ago, making it especially noteworthy that the award was chosen for Mars this year. Organizers said the singer was selected for his “innovation and contributions to contemporary music.”

Mars’ history with the Teen Choice Awards dates back to 2010. That year, he scored his inaugural nomination for “Nothin’ On You” in the category of Choice Music: Single. Since then, he’s won four awards and went into tonight with six new nominations. That includes Choice Male Artist and Choice Summer Tour, as well as Choice Song: Male Artist, Choice Summer Song and Choice R&B/Hip-Hop Song for “That’s What I Like.” In addition, “24K Magic” earned a nod for Choice Pop Song. Check out full video of the tribute to Mars and his acceptance speech below!

Jennifer Lopez has not rearranged her whole schedule so that she can keep an eye on Alex Rodriguez, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can correct this story, which wrongly alleges that Lopez doesn’t trust Rodriguez and that he’s “milking her for the fame.” We’re told it’s all untrue.

According to Star, Lopez is “covering her bases” after Rodriguez was allegedly caught “sexting another woman,” and now she “won’t let him out of her sight.” To prove its claim, the publication points to Lopez accompanying Rodriguez to a sports memorabilia signing in Illinois on July 29. A so-called “spy” tells the tabloid, “Instead of cutting him loose, Jennifer is rearranging her entire schedule to accommodate Alex’s so that she can watch him like a hawk.”

The magazine’s supposed source maintains that Lopez is “obsessed with [Rodriguez] and worried that he will slip through her hands if she doesn’t stay close.” The “spy” adds, “He loves all the attention dating J. Lo brings him.” Then, after noting how he’s recently signed deals with Fox Sports and “Good Morning America,” the tabloid’s tipster asserts, “He’s clearly milking her for the fame.”

Gossip Cop will address all the inaccuracies in the outlet’s report. For starters, Lopez doesn’t believe the tabloid reports about her boyfriend allegedly “sexting” with an ex-girlfriend. Of course, that makes the rest of the magazine’s narrative moot. Still, she didn’t join Rodriguez at a memorabilia show because she doesn’t trust him. Lopez tagged along because they’re in love and she enjoys spending time with her boyfriend. Additionally, the tabloid throws out that the singer and actress is “rearranging her entire schedule to accommodate Alex’s,” but not surprisingly it doesn’t offer one example of Lopez changing her plans to follow Rodriguez.

As for the publication’s assertion that Rodriguez is using Lopez and landed his two new broadcasting gigs because he’s dating Lopez is absurd. Does anyone really believe that the only reason Fox Sports hired Rodriguez to call baseball games is because he has a famous girlfriend? How exactly does that attract viewers? The reason Rodriguez is now scoring broadcasting jobs has nothing to do with Lopez and everything to do with him having retired from baseball and being available now for TV opportunities.

Basically, Star’s article is filled with inaccuracies. Regardless, Gossip Cop still checked in with a mutual friend of ours and Lopez’s, and we’re exclusively assured the tabloid’s story is “BS.”

“The View” co-hosts Jedediah Bila and Sunny Hostin clashed on Twitter on Saturday due to the violence in Charlottesville. The confrontation in Virginia led the colleagues to spar over gun control.

The ABC talk show is currently on hiatus after wrapping its 20th season earlier this month. With the program not set to return with new episodes for another few weeks, some of the co-hosts have been airing their views on social media instead of at the “Hot Topics Table.” And today, sadly, there is no “hotter topic,” so to speak, than the white nationalist protest and alt-right rally in Charlottesville.

As Gossip Cop has reported, neo-Nazi protesters clashed with counter-protesters, sparking violent attacks that so far have left one person dead and at least 19 people injured. While it’s unclear if any firearms were used, video from various skirmishes show people hitting one another with blunt objects and throwing things. And the presence of a purported “militia” carrying guns led Hostin to bring up the subject of gun control.

On a recent episode of “The View,” as well as on previous installments, she and Bila have significantly disagreed on whether everyday people should be armed in public places. As seen in the videos below, Hostin has argued that if a chaotic situation breaks out, having citizens armed with guns may further that chaos and lead to tragedy. Bila, however, has countered that she would feel safer knowing there were fellow citizens around prepared to use guns if necessary.

So, with that in mind, Hostin tweeted to Bila a video of the alleged militia in Charlottesville, asking, “Feel safer @JedediahBila?” About two hours later, Bila responded, “I will always want sane, law-abiding citizens to be able to counter any armed lunatic, criminal or otherwise. And yes, if I were there, I would certainly feel safer armed than unarmed. I say no to a police state or gun confiscation all day, any day.”

Rather than get into an intense debate, Hostin wrote back, “We will have to agree to disagree my friend.” Bila’s comments, of course, should not be misconstrued as support for the racism and violence taking place in Charlottesville, two things the conservative TV personality has spoken out against in the past. In fact, to signify her disapproval of Donald Trump’s vague comments, in which he didn’t reference Nazism or white supremacy, she retweeted an old quote from Ronald Reagan: “The politics of racial hatred & religious bigotry practiced by the Klan & others have no place in this country.”

Sara Haines and Whoopi Goldberg (pictured above with Bila and Hostin), as well as Joy Behar, have not commented. Below, see videos of Bila and Hostin having heated discussions on gun control during “The View.” The clips are from August 2 and June 15, the latter one part of “The View” co-hosts’ reaction to the congressional shooting.

Doing everything we can to feel better.

Celebrities are reacting to the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville and the alt-right rally at UVA. See reaction from Twitter below.

On Friday night, dozens of torch-carrying white nationalists marched across the University of Virginia’s campus, chanting about “white pride” and “white lives matter.” Videos and photos show a number of people making the “heil Hitler” salute and wearing Nazi regalia. They gathered in advance of Saturday’s “Unite The Right” rally, where thousands are expected to protest against Charlottesville’s attempts to cut ties with its Confederate past.

Many on social media likened last night’s gathering, which was condemned by the Charlottesville mayor, to a Ku Klux Klan march, and there are fears about what will go down today. Among those commenting about the situation are a variety of notable names, including Alyssa Milano, who deemed Friday’s protest an example of “Trump’s America.” Mark Ruffalo cracked, “Got the ole fashioned Nazi feeling don’t it?” And Katie Couric called it “a chilling scene.”

Andy Richter ripped the participants as “human race traitors,” while Rosie O’Donnell said it was evidence of “THE TRUMP EFFECT.” She added, “#25thAmendmentNow #stopTRUMP.” Debra Messing retweeted the activist DeRay McKesson, who argued, “If black folks were carrying torches on a college campus right now the administration would’ve already called the National Guard.” Kristen Bell replied to him, “Sad and true.”

“Dingleberries chanting ‘white lives matter’ while flashing the Nazi salute – @realDonaldTrump’s base. Show your whole selves,” tweeted Jeffrey Wright. Eliza Dusku expressed, “Sick sick sick sick good god this is sick.” Soledad O’Brien shared photos of the small group of students who stood in a counter-protest, writing, “This group of teens at the center of this rally. I’m so afraid for them, and so proud they exist. Thank you.” And Judd Apatow retweeted New York Times staffer Erin McCann, who insisted, “Listen, when they’re carrying torches and chanting about white pride, ‘alt-right’ isn’t the word you’re looking for.” Rosie Perez also tweeted, “We all wanted to believed USA was past #HatefulRacistViolentProtests-Yet here we are Again! Hope ppl of #Charlottesville are protected today.”

It seems that every time that you look into a magazine and look into the closet of a celebrity they seem to have the most amazing walk in closet that you’ve ever seen. Clothes of the finest quality spread from wall to wall. It seems that they own one of every color of the same shoes.

Imagine walking into your own closet and feeling like you are in your very own department store full of everything that you own. You may find yourself dreaming of how your closet can look like this. Here are some of the ways that you can get started transforming it.

Proper Shelving

Using the proper shelving for your closet so that you display everything is the first step to transformation. Make sure that it has the proper amount of support so that you can put not only clothes on it but also all of your shoes.

When you have shelving as well as the proper bars to hang your items from you can fit much more into your closet making it even more of a department store wonderland.

Organize By Color

One of the best things that you can do to give it an organized feel is by organizing your clothes by color from dark to light. There is something incredibly satisfying about being able to search through your clothes when they are color coded.

For extra organizational color coding try having an individual shelf for each color. This way you have even more separation and can find things even easier.

Lots of Mirrors

Putting a lot of mirrors in a small space gives it a bigger feel. When each wall is reflected on the other you get the impression that the space is much larger than it actually is. In addition to increasing your sense of space, you can also get the best view of your outfit from each potential angle.

When you can see yourself from every side you can really get the best idea of whether an outfit works or not.

Proper Lighting

Lighting is everything when you are decorating a space. Rather than having a harsh bright light, try opting for something soft but which also provides enough light to see everything.

Christmas lights are a great way to light up a space which gives a peaceful and dreamy feel. You can string the lights across the ceiling which gives a calm mood to the closet.

Not only does a warm light like this give a certain mood, but it is also very flattering for trying on clothes in your best possible light. Lamps are also a great option as long as you choose a lower wattage.

Is it just us, or has Real Housewives of Atlanta gotten totally bananas?!?

As you may know, things are tense between Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss on this season of the Bravo hit. Why? Well, apparently, the two ladies had some kind of romantic encounter during an outing to a club and they’re each trying to paint the other as the aggressor.

Thankfully, Sunday’s episode of RHOA brought all of this drama to head as it resulted in one GIANT blow up. And not any ol’ reality TV blow up either. This latest fight featured Porsha accusing Kandi and her husband, Todd Tucker of trying to drug her for sex. No joke.

If you weren’t able to catch all of the insanity, there’s no need to fret, because we’ve got a recap for you (below)!

Two Sides To Every Story

The episode kicked off with Kandi and Porsha each telling their sides of the crazzzy story to different audiences. While Miz Burruss held court with Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Shamea Morton, and Sheree Whitfield, Porsha headed to her sister Lauren‘s place to recount what she claims went down with Kandi.

As Kandi shared her conversation with Porsha to the captivated ladies, she was clearly pissed about the rumors her frenemy was sharing about how she and her husband have a sex dungeon and also tried to drug the Bravolebrity for sex. Of course, the ladies then attempted to find the said sex dungeon and it was everything! Meanwhile, Porsha tried to defend to her sister that she had “beer goggles on 1,000,” whereas Burruss sober, so clearly she was the victim in this situation.

Kenya Is Still Pining For Matt

Despite Matt Jordan‘s numerous instances of violence, Kenya still has some kind of relationship with the man. During the episode, Miz Moore grabbed dinner with her brother and his kids and pretty much implied that she still has feelings for Mr. Jordan. After opening up about how Matt previously broke a window during one of their fights, Kenya was vehement that Matt has never been physical with her and even treats her like a queen. Debatable, but whatever.

Thankfully, her brother was pretty unconvinced and encouraged her to move on. The RHOA vet pondered:

“It makes me think, what am I doing? I’m wasting time. Either I want the drama or I want a family. I want a family.”

Good choice, girl!

Dinner Party From Hell In Paradise

Initially, Kandi and Todd decided to head to Maui to take a break from all of the drama — but, in typical Bravo fashion, the Hawaiian adventure became a group trip. Not only did Cynthia, Cynthia’s ex-husband Peter Thomas, Sheree, Sheree’s ex-husband Bob, and Phaedra Parks join Kandi and Todd on their trip to paradise, but somehow Porsha got invited. In fact, it was Miz Parks who brought Williams as her plus one. Didn’t she think that was a bad idea??

Well, she certainly realizes it now, as the group had a huge dinner together where chaos ensued. Be sure to watch all of it go down for yourself (below).

Man, oh man. Porsha has certainly gotten herself into trouble this time.

What team are YOU on? #TeamKandi or #TeamPorsha?

Khloe Kardashian is threatening Tristan Thompson with a “marriage ultimatum,” according to a new report. Gossip Cop looked into the story.

RadarOnline is alleging Kardashian is “tired of waiting on her man to pop the question,” and claims they’ve been “talking about getting engaged for so long that it is really starting to irk her!” A so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “Khloe is at the point right now where she is basically like, ‘WTF?’ She does not know why he has not asked her to marry him already and is just starting to become very frustrated because she wants a family and kids stat!”

“She wants her ring and she is just so bothered that he has not even gotten one yet,” continues the webloid’s supposed snitch, who adds, “Khloe wants nothing more than to start a family and have a bunch of kids with Tristan. She sees both of her sisters with all these kids and it just makes her sad that she is the odd one out.”

Notably, though, this article is headlined, “Khloe Kardashian Threatens Tristan Thompson With Marriage Ultimatum,” but there’s nothing said in the story about an actual threat. What did Kardashian say? How did Thompson respond? Is there a deadline? Will they breakup if he doesn’t propose soon? RadarOnline made this allegation about a “marriage ultimatum,” but apparently has nothing to back it up aside from claiming Kardashian is tired of waiting.

What’s more is that this tale is inconsistent with the site’s past “reporting.” In March, for instance, the outlet speculated Kardashian and Thompson had eloped. Then in May, as if it never wrote that prior story, the publication claimed the reality star was in the midst of planning a big wedding. Yet, based on this new story, marriage may not even be in the cards, and nothing is said about wedding plans.

So, what’s actually going on? Well, for starters, Gossip Cop is told that the blog once again doesn’t know what it’s talking about. This is, after all, the same webloid that said Kardashian was ready to adopt Rob’s daughter Dream a few months ago. And last year, RadarOnline falsely claimed Kardashian was still hooking up with Lamar Odom, and then one day later wrongly alleged she wanted to start dating women.

We’re reminded that the site likes to manufacture stories about the star and her famous family because they typically get clicks. In fact, the online publication ran a similar piece back in February that also claimed Kardashian was begging Thompson to propose. It was a fictional tale then, and remains so now.

Jack Antonoff as Bleachers performed in Central Park on Friday for the “GMA” Summer Concert Series. Watch the videos below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, “Good Morning America” is hosting outdoor concerts every Friday during the summer months. The shows, which are free and open to the public, take place at Rumsey’s Playfield, and ties into Central Park’s SummerStage events. Though “GMA” broadcasts early in the morning, and fans have to show up even earlier to score good spots by the stage, the concerts are always a fun way to kick off the weekend.

That was no exception today with Bleachers. For a while, Antonoff was best known for his role as one of the three members in Fun. While working in that group, he formed Bleachers as a side project, and first released a single, called “I Wanna Get Better,” for his new act in early 2014. A debut album followed later that year, and then a second album in 2015. A third album, called Gone Now, just came out in June. To date, the record peaked at number 6 on the Top Alternative Albums chart and hit ninth place on the Top Rock Albums list.

For the “GMA” concert, Antonoff performed two songs from the album, the single “Don’t Take The Money” and “I Miss Those Days.” The official recording for “Don’t Take The Money” actually features additional vocals from Lorde, but she unfortunately did not join the performance. Antonoff also threw it back a few years by singing “I Wanna Get Better,” which was a number one hit on the Alternative Songs chart three years ago.

Interestingly, the music video for “Don’t Take The Money” was directed by Antonoff’s longtime girlfriend, Lena Dunham. Amusingly, she made it clear on Twitter that she had no intention of getting up early for her boyfriend’s concert. After Antonoff tweeted on Thursday night, “who’s coming to GMA in the park tomorrow? gonna play a mini set….,” Dunham hilariously replied, “I’m staying in bed I get enough of your BS at home!” Check out the videos below to see what she missed!
