Addison Agen sang “Angel From Montgomery” for “The Voice” Playoffs on Tuesday. Watch the video below!

As Gossip Cop reported, the NBC competition started airing its fourth round on Monday. In this phase, the coaches have to narrow their teams of six (five contestants and a “comeback artist”) down to just three for the live shows. The three chosen to represent each team together make up the season’s overall Top 12. Blake Shelton and Jennifer Hudson’s singers were in the spotlight last night, with Noah Mac’s performance of “In The Air Tonight” being among the standout moments. Notably, the Playoffs aren’t live this time around, but the aspiring stars are still giving it their all in hopes of continuing their journey on the reality show.

That includes Agen, who at 16 years old has become an early favorite. The teen started out on Team Miley, but was stolen by Adam Levine during the Battles. Agen then won her “Knockouts” showdown with a performance of “Beneath Your Beautiful.” Now for the Playoffs, she wasn’t competing against one particular member of Team Adam but all of them, hoping to be one of the three artists Levine would keep on his team and not one of the three artists he eliminated. For her last chance to impress, Agen was to perform Bonnie Raitt’s version of “Angel From Montgomery.”

In rehearsal, Levine, who compared his young artist to Adele, said he wanted to show Agen’s “maturity.” For her part, she felt, “It totally represents the kind of an artist I am.” She was encouraged to stay “grounded” and “focus on your craft” because “you’ve really got it.” That was evident in her big performance, which had both Miley Cyrus and Blake Shelton praising her before she was even finished singing.

Following a standing ovation, Shelton said, “I love Addison… You were born with this understanding of how to convey lyrics. If you don’t move forward to the Lives, I’m going to have somebody cut Adam’s brakes.” Cyrus admitted she was thinking, “Dang, Addison is probably gonna win this. Adam’s probably gonna shove it in my face. But I’ll be happy if you do.” Agen couldn’t help but cry as Levine himself continued the praise, calling her a “unicorn.”

Although the feedback was glowing and she was the last to perform, Agen still had to wait a few minutes to find out her fate. When it came time for Levine’s decision, he named Agen as the first of his three advancing to the Top 12. She was joined by Jon Mero and Adam Cunningham. Eliminated were Emily Luthor, Anthony Alexander and comeback artist Whitney Fenimore. Check out the video below!

All the pastors love Roy Moore… at least they did before the recent sexual misconduct allegations came out against the Alabama judge.

The U.S. Senate hopeful is desperately trying to not come across like a disgusting predator after five women came forward to say he had pursued them romantically when they were in their teens — but each attempt he makes only exposes his true deceitful colors.

On Sunday, Moore’s wife Kayla Moore shared a letter on Facebook, claiming it was a letter of support for Moore signed by 50 Alabama pastors. Many were outraged by the letter, which pledged support for a man that looks to be guilty of some heinous acts with teenagers when he was in his 30s.

Just like Moore’s wholesome facade, however, it appears the letter may not be as it seems.

Shortly after Kayla shared the post, Tijuanna Adetunji of the Fresh Anointing House of Worship in Montgomery said she was not contacted about the letter and did not give permission for her name to be used. She told AL.com:

“I was not asked about this story or allegations.”

Soon after that, Pastor Thad Endicott told AL.com the same story, confirming the letter was a version of an earlier recommendation letter that had been circulated before the allegations ever came out.

The original letter, which is still on Moore’s website, contains a few dates and references to the upcoming election that were removed from the “newer” version — which was apparently edited by the couple without speaking with any of the signatories whose opinions would have likely changed after learning about the judge’s alleged actions.

That’s definitely the case for Pastor Joseph Smith of Pine Air Baptist Church, who told an Alabama Fox affiliate that he supported Moore in the primaries, but no longer backs him. The official says he was not asked about his name being left on the list.

Though no pastor is more confused about being on the list than George Grant, who says not only did he never sign the letter and was never asked to have his signature used, he says he hasn’t even heard from Moore in 10 years!

Multiple pastors have asked their names to be removed from the letter of support — and we’re sure more will come. We’re also sure there’s a special place in hell for predatory politicians who use preachers to protect themselves.

Taylor Swift performed “New Year’s Day” on Monday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Watch the video below!

Sitting at a piano, Swift sang the sweet ballad about a couple in love after New Year’s eve. She has never performed “New Year’s Day” on live television until tonight. She instead opted to sing “New Year’s Day” for a pre-taped performance that was broadcast during last week’s “Scandal.” For that recording, 100 fans of the singer were invited to her home in Rhode Island, where she played them the entire Reputation album and discussed how each single came about. To date, the video of her singing “New Year’s Day” at home has been viewed more than 2.2 million times.

More recently, Swift sang “Call It What You Want” on “SNL.” She also performed “Ready For It? on “Saturday Night Live.” As noted then, her appearance on the sketch comedy show marked the first time Swift had performed any of her new music live on television.

But fans can look forward to seeing those songs and more live with Swift’s upcoming tour. Earlier on Monday, she officially announced the “Reputation Stadium Tour,” which will kick off in May in Arizona. The North American leg has the songstress on the road through next October. Tickets will go on sale on December 13, which just so happens to be Swift’s birthday. The tour announcement noted that additional dates will be revealed for the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

It actually wasn’t known Swift would be on “The Tonight Show” this evening until Fallon posted an Instagram video, in which he said, “Guys, we have an all-new show tonight and I wanted to make sure we have a very, very special, big musical performance. And we got one. Look what you made me do.” The episode marks the host’s return following a week of bereavement leave to mourn his mother’s passing. Check out the video below of Swift performing “New Year’s Day” on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Elon Musk is not dating Jessica Hart. Speculation was started after they were seen hanging out at an event, but one tabloid is jumping to the wrong conclusion. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the story.

“Amber Who? Elon Gets Cozy With Jessica,” reads a headline in Life & Style, which begins its article by asserting the Tesla mogul “isn’t wallowing in the wake of his split from Amber Heard.” The tabloid reports, “During the Garden of Wonder Perrier-Jouet party in L.A. on Oct. 26, Elon shared a VIP table with Australian model Jessica Hart.” A so-called “witness” is quoted as saying, “They were cozying up to each other and there was a lot of flirting going on.”

The gossip magazine’s supposed source continues, “Jessica ate up all of the attention Elon was giving her, and they couldn’t take their eyes off each other.” Suspiciously, though, neither the outlet nor the “witness” offer any specifics as to what the pair actually spoke about and how they were allegedly “flirting.” Facts be damned, the publication still maintains Hart and Musk had “serious chemistry.” But other than noting when and where their interaction took place, the article is pretty vague. It’s as if this report is based on someone who merely watched the pair from the other side of the room.

Perhaps if this “witness” was more than just a spy, he or she would know there’s no actual romance blossoming between the two. “Elon and Jessica aren’t a thing,” Gossip Cop is exclusively told by a Musk insider. It’s also worth noting that while Hart posted on Instagram about attending the party, the model said nothing whatsoever about Musk. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that when Musk and Heard confirmed their split in August, they said, “People occasionally send out speculation, which has no basis in fact, without our knowledge, believing that that they have our best interests in mind. Sometimes, other agendas are at work. It can get a little weird.” That seems to be the case here now with Hart.

A new story claiming to know the reason why Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez haven’t made their relationship “Instagram official” is entirely made-up. Gossip Cop can correct this bogus report, which was posted by one particularly unreliable website.

The often disproven HollywoodLife, which is regularly caught peddling fake news stories about Gomez and Bieber, alleges it has the scoop about why they’re “hesitant” to post about their “renewed love” online. In its latest manufactured tale, a so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “Social media has been a big trigger for Justin and Selena in the past so they’re simply choosing to avoid having it be a part of their relationship right now.” The site’s most assuredly fake insider further purports, “They’re extremely protective of what they’ve got at the moment. It’s so fresh and so new.”

Before we go any further, it should be noted that this newest report is coming from the same website that Gomez herself called “the worst” in an interview with Billboard. What’s more, even Bieber wanted HollywoodLife shut down for being “untruthful” and “hurtful.” That’s why it’s so hard to imagine that anyone who’s remotely close with either star would feed the aptly nicknamed HollywoodLies with stories about them. The outlet is clueless about both Gomez and Bieber, as Gossip Cop has repeatedly pointed out in the past.

Remember, we corrected the untrustworthy webloid earlier this year for falsely alleging Gomez was going to be a judge on “American Idol.” Gossip Cop even debunked the site in July for wrongly linking Bieber to a “mystery girl.” Over and over again, the bad blog has proven how little it knows about both stars, and of course, HollywoodLife’s most recent concoction is similarly fake.

There’s no rule about celebrities making their relationships Instagram official. Bieber and Gomez are clearly happy, and don’t feel compelled to put their relationship on display. Additionally, it’s bad enough the paparazzi are following their every move. As even the most casual Gossip Cop reader has surely come to expect, the website just posts one falsehood after another.

On Sunday’s new episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Kourtney Kardashian decided she would no longer invite Scott Disick to family functions, starting with Khloe’s birthday party. Meanwhile, Kim prepared for the launch of her KKW Beauty line. Get the full recap below!

Early in the show, Khloe told Kim and Kourtney that her boyfriend Tristan Thompson would be moving to Los Angeles for several months during the NBA offseason, so she’ll no longer be spending all her time in Cleveland. She also told Kris that she’s house hunting for a rental home with Tristan. The momager revealed in a confessional that she and Tristan were also in the midst of planing a surprise birthday party for Khloe. Later, Kim told her mom she was asked to speak at the Forbes Women’s Summit, and wanted to use the opportunity to announce she’s launching a new makeup line.

Kim later admitted she was nervous while setting up for a big launch party at her house. “This is what I’ve been working towards for 10 years,” she said. The reality star admitted she wanted everything to go smoothly, adding, “This whole entire launch is on my shoulders.” The party, which was attended by dozens of big players in the beauty industry, ended up being a big success. “It’s such an amazing feeling seeing it all come to life,” Kim said in a confessional. “Everyone is loving it. There’s such amazing press on this launch party.”

Everyone later gathered for Khloe’s surprise birthday party. She thought she was simply having dinner with Tristan, but the NBA player led her into a room full of her friends and family. The Cavaliers player gave a toast during the event, telling his girlfriend, “I’m very honored and glad to be a part of your journey.”

Scott later let Kourtney know he was upset about not getting an invite to Khloe’s surprise party. “I’m family,” he said. He also told her he was aware she was the one who made the decision. “There’s only one person that would have gotten me not invited,” he said. “I highly doubt that Khloe was like, ‘The last person I’d want at my surprise party would be Scott.” He added, “The family that claims I’m still blood even though we’re not together still doesn’t invite me to a surprise party.” Kourtney told Scott to stop having a “pity party,” but he shot back, “I can understand you not inviting me to your birthday, but your sister who I’ve known forever… I would have wanted to be there for her.”

Kourtney decided to lie about the reason she didn’t invite him, saying, “I didn’t want to have you coming to the birthday and be photographed going in.” “Photographed going in is your concern?” a suspicious Scott asked. “My concern would be to be there for your sister.” Kourtney noted in a confessional, “I’m a little bit caught off guard and I just said that I didn’t want to be photographed even though that’s really not what I meant. I just try to be positive and I didn’t want to say I just didn’t want you there.” Scott told her, “That’s all [B.S.] It’s funny to realize just how fake you really are though.”

Scott and Kourtney later began arguing again. “I just feel like you love that you’re able to hold this over me and that’s like your control factor,” Scott told her. She responded, “And I feel like you think you can go out and do whatever you want and purposely try to hurt me and still get invited to everything.” Scott insisted he loves her and sometimes does “things out of spite” because he feels hurt, but Kourtney replied, “That’s not a way to show your love. When someone’s trying to [expletive] with me, I’m not into having them at my sister’s party.” Scott acknowledged he doesn’t always “do the right thing,” but Kourtney explained that when he’s “intentionally trying to hurt” her, she’s not going to invite him places.

Khloe chimed in, saying she was sick of the two having the same argument all the time, and Scott noted, “I’d like to try to be a better person but it’s not the easiest thing.” “You really don’t know what you should be doing?” Kourtney responded. “You’re one of the smartest people I’ve met.” Appreciative of the compliment, Scott joked, “Aww. You wanna make out?” As Kourtney laughed at his suggestion, Khloe offered, “You guys are so [expletive] dysfunctional.” Scott then asked, “When do you think we’re going to get married by the way?” The two eventually made up and decided to get mani-pedis together, prompting Khloe to exclaim, “You guys are sick!”

Wow — Rebel Wilson is coming out with a harrowing story of her own about being sexually harassed in the industry, and it’s awful.

The Pitch Perfect star revealed on her Twitter account this weekend how she was the subject of unwanted sexual harassment when a well-known male co-star of hers tried to get her to perform a sex act on him.

You can read it all in her tweet thread about the incident (below):

I’ve been away in a ‘bubble’ of sorts creating new comedy overseas but it’s so hard to hear all these stories relating to sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood. As you guys know, I’m a pretty strong and confident person but even I have a story to tell.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

A male star, in a position of power asked me to go into a room with him and then asked me repeatedly to stick my finger up his ass. All whilst his male ‘friends’ tried to film the incident on their iPhones and laughed. I repeatedly said no and eventually got out of the room.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

I called my agent immediately and my lawyer made a complaint with the studio – basically to protect myself that in the event something similar ever occurred I’d be able to walk out of the job and not obliged to return.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

Later I was threatened by one of the star’s representatives to be nice and support the male star. I refused. The whole thing was disgusting.
I’ve told hundreds of people in the industry the story in more graphic detail basically to warn them off this individual.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

Earlier in my career, I also had a ‘hotel room’ encounter with a top director. I thought we were there to talk comedy. Nothing physical happened because the guy’s wife called and started abusing him over the phone for sleeping with actresses and luckily she was yelling so loud…
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

that I could hear her and I bolted out of there immediately. I was so naive the thought of anything happening apart from ‘work talk’ didn’t even cross my mind.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

I feel lucky that I grew up in a pro-female environment, going to an all-girls high school, and that I have such a strong sense of self and have taken self-defense classes. I had the ability to escape both incidents. I realize not everyone is as lucky.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

To hear how prevalent sexual harassment and assault is, is just so saddening. I know my stories aren’t as horrific as other women and men have described – but if you’ve ever experienced anything like this I feel for you and can relate on some level.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

I know, moving forward, that if I witness this behavior, whether it happens to me or someone I know, I will no longer be POLITE. Interpret that as you will.
— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 11, 2017

Wow.

Heavy, heavy stuff — obviously, everybody wants to know who the actor might be, and what happens next.

But good for her for standing up to it now!!!
