Lady Gaga Gave an Epic Eye-Roll When Asked About Those Bradley Cooper Romance Rumors

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's chemistry during their 2019 Oscars performance was so dazzling, it left many fans blushing and wondering. However, Gaga set the record straight about their relationship during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday: the only romance between these two comes from their acting.

"Yes, people saw love, and guess what? That's what we wanted you to see!" Gaga explained. "This is a love song, 'Shallow'. The movie, A Star Is Born, it's a love story."

Hear that, folks? Nothing to see here except a couple of genuinely talented performers. There's no denying Bradley and Gaga have a strong connection; they've both spoken about it on numerous occasions. But every element of their fiery Oscars performance was meticulously planned, down to the longing looks. Not to mention, Bradley is in a long-term relationship with model Irina Shayk, and Gaga only recently ended her engagement with Christian Carino.

Watch the full interview above to see Gaga go in-depth about her first Oscar win, and learn more details about the extended version of A Star Is Born, in theaters starting Friday!

Princess Lottie! Kate Middleton Revealed Another Sweet Nickname For Her Little Girl

Kate Middleton and Prince William made a surprise trip to Northern Ireland on Wednesday, and while chatting with a group of waiting well-wishers, the Duchess of Cambridge spilled one of her cute nicknames for 3-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte. Belfast-based blogger Laura-Ann was one of the excited fans to get a few moments with Kate during her visit to Windsor Park Stadium, and she shared her unexpected encounter with the royal via Instagram Stories later that day. The mom of two had her son George with her as she handed a bouquet of pink flowers to Kate, and after telling young George that he has a "really cool name," the duchess then asked how old Laura-Ann's older son, Bertie, is. According to Laura-Ann, after hearing that he's 4 years old, Kate replied, "Oh! He's the same age as Lottie."

Princess Charlotte - or "Lottie" - was born in 2015 and will be celebrating her fourth birthday this May. Both Will and Kate have casually dropped small details about the "very sweet and very confident" young royal over the years, and we recently found out that she takes ballet lessons and loves olives and cheesy pasta. And Lottie likely isn't Char's only family nickname. In December, Kate was spotted on a rare shopping trip with Charlotte in tow and was overheard telling the toddler, "Get up, Poppet." Keep scrolling to see Kate speaking to Laura-Ann and little George, then check out even more facts about the British royal family.

A Star Is Born Is Returning to Theaters With 12 Minutes of New Footage and a Brand-New Song

You might have naively assumed that because Lady Gaga won an Oscar for A Star Is Born and also gave a performance at the award show with costar Bradley Cooper that left the world collectively swooning, that the buzz for the musical drama was officially over. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, we're still very much in the midst of the Born-aissance.

Cooper's Oscar-nominated film will be rereleased in over 1,150 theaters with 12 minutes of new footage included, starting on Friday. The special edition of the film is apparently being shared to celebrate Gaga's Oscar win for best original song for the film's hit, "Shallow." (A Star Is Born was also nominated for best picture.)

So, what will these 12 never-before-seen minutes of footage entail? If it were up to me, it would just be an extralong montage of Cooper's Jackson Maine playing with his dog, Charlie, in the yard. But since it's not, the new footage will contain extended performances of the songs "Black Eyes" and "Alibi," as well as of Gaga's character, Ally, singing an a cappella performance of "Shallow" in the grocery store parking lot at the start of the film. Audiences will also be treated to longer looks at Ally singing "Is That Alright?" to Jack at their wedding, as well as Jack recording "Too Far Gone" in the studio.

If Friday feels like it's too far away for you to wait, you can check out one of the special "encore" scenes right now over at THR, which features Jack and Ally writing a brand-new song, "Clover," which never made it to the film's soundtrack.

Did Olivia Colman Give the Most Endearing Oscars Speech Since Sally Field's?

If Olivia Colman hasn't already won your heart with her incredible talent and earnest wit, her adorable speech at the Academy Awards is sure to do the trick. On Sunday, the 45-year-old actress was visibly stunned as she took home the Oscar for best actress for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite. "It's genuinely quite stressful," she laughingly admitted. "This is hilarious . . . I got an Oscar!"

Colman went on to thank the film's director, Yorgos Lanthimos, along with her castmates and her agent. Possibly the most endearing moment of her speech came when Colman mentioned fellow nominees - Lady Gaga, Melissa McCarthy, Yalitza Aparicio, and Glenn Close - and couldn't help but fangirl over Close (which is completely understandable). "And to be in this category with these extraordinary women . . . ," the Oscar winner began, before getting distracted by Close. "Glenn Close, you've been my idol for so long and this is not how I wanted it to be. I think you're amazing and I love you very much!"

Again, definitely an understandable reaction to any proximity to Close. The actress then thanked her parents and her "best friend" and husband, Ed ("25 years and you've been my best supporter"), and she shouted out her children, who she said she hoped were still up watching at home because "this is not going to happen again." Colman also dedicated her Oscar win to aspiring actresses, saying, "Any little girl that's practicing her speech on the telly, you never know."

Watch the truly delightful speech ahead - including Colman ending her speech by just exclaiming, "Lady Gaga!"

Chris Evans Wasn't Nominated For Any Oscars, but He Definitely Left With Our Hearts

This might not be a commonly held takeaway here, but Chris Evans seemed to have had the best time at the 2019 Oscars. One might ask, "Wow! Did he take home any awards?" Not exactly, no. "Oh . . . OK. Well, was he nominated for anything?" Nope, not that either. It's just that between laughing it up with Jennifer Lopez and momentarily serving as Regina King's escort, the actor genuinely looked like he was having a blast from start to finish. Enjoy all of our proof ahead, and feel free to update your ranking of the Hollywood Chrises as you see fit.

Taylor Swift Basically Shared Her Throwback Playlist, and It Includes Songs For “Bad Breakups”

Taylor Swift rarely participates in interviews anymore, so when she sits down to share her thoughts, you know fans are going to listen. In the midst of speculation about her possible seventh album, the 29-year-old singer penned a touching essay about the power of music for Elle UK's April issue, which will be released on March 7. She opened up about the songs that have impacted her life as she's grown up, and coincidentally, we've added them all to our "throwback" playlist! Here are a few of Taylor's nostalgic picks:

"Cowboy Take Me Away" by the Dixie Chicks: "I instantly recall the feeling of being 12 years old, sitting in a little wood-paneled room in my family home in Pennsylvania. I'm clutching a guitar and learning to play the chords and sing the words at the same time, rehearsing for a gig at a coffee house."
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco: "I'm transported back to being 16 and driving down the streets of Hendersonville, TN, with my best friend, Abigail, euphorically screaming the lyrics."
"How to Save a Life" by The Fray, "Breathe (2AM)" by Anna Nalick, and "The Story" by Brandi Carlile: "I immediately flashback to being 17 and on tour for months on end. When I'd get a day at home in between long stretches on the road sharing a van with my band and crew, I would spend my rare nights off painting alone with candles lit in my room - just being alone with those songs. (Those are all from the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack. My commitment to that show truly knows no bounds.)"
"You Learn" by Alanis Morissette, "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae, and "Why" by Annie Lennox": "Have actually healed my heart after bad breakups or letdowns."

In her essay, Taylor also uses recent pop hits like Drake's "In My Feelings," or Camila Cabello's "Havana" as evidence of how music resonates most when it's personal. Could this be yet another clue that Taylor's planning on releasing a few new songs of her own? Perhaps we'll find out more when she's honored at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 14.

Yep, The OA Is Officially Returning For Season 2 - Watch the First Wild Trailer

It looks like the interpretive dancing that was powerful enough to prevent a school shooting (sort of?) will return in The OA season two - yep, Netflix's weirdest original series is back.

The first trailer for the second season sees the return of Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling) and Dr. Hap (Jason Isaacs), who both appear to have successfully "jumped" into alternate realities, which house alternate versions of themselves. Prairie wakes up in a hospital in San Francisco and discovers that although it's the same year (2016) as when she was shot in the season one finale, Barack Obama not only isn't president but doesn't even exist. She also lives in a swanky apartment and seems to be called by her original Russian name (remember that whole flashback about her being Russian royalty in season one?).

With the help of a cynical private detective, Karim (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Prairie sets out to solve new mysteries in season two, which seem to revolve around a missing boy. Prairie also makes mention of Homer, so we'll just have to wait and see if her long-lost love (played by Emory Cohen) returns as well. Watch the first trailer above before season two begins streaming on March 22.

After a Decade of Drama, Lady Gaga and Madonna Kiss and Make Up After the Oscars

Drama? We don't know her. After years of feuding and back-and-forth comments about each other, Lady Gaga and Madonna are ready to put the past behind them. On Sunday night, Gaga attended Guy Oseary and Madonna's Oscars afterparty, where Time partnered with the event and photographer JR to capture the iconic moments of the night, including the two songstresses embracing each other alongside Gaga's award. Gaga and Madonna's feud goes all the way back to 2009, when Gaga first burst onto the music scene and many people drew comparisons between their musical styles.

In 2012, Madonna spoke openly about how "Born This Way" reminded her of her 1989 hit "Express Yourself," and she even famously called Gaga "reductive." In 2016, during an interview with Zane Lowe, Gaga couldn't hold back when Madonna's name was brought up. "Madonna and I are very different . . . I don't mean to disrespect Madonna. She's a nice lady, and she's had a fantastic huge career. Biggest pop star of all time. But I play a lot of instruments. I write all my own music. I spend hours and hours a day in the studio," Gaga said. "I'm a producer. I'm a writer. What I do is different." Most recently, Madonna even accused Gaga of copying her "100 people in a room" quote.

But it's during these incredibly special nights that drama is forgotten and friendships are formed. Gaga had a huge night - she gave us the "Shallow" performance of a lifetime and won her first-ever Oscar for best original song - and it looks like Madonna couldn't help but be excited for the A Star Is Born actress. Ahead, see more footage from their sweet moment together.

Richard E. Grant's Admiration For Barbra Streisand Got Its Hollywood Ending at the Oscars

Apart from being an Oscar-nominated actor, Richard E. Grant is a "lifelong fan" of Barbra Streisand. In fact, earlier this year, Richard made a pilgrimage to the icon's home in Malibu for the simple purpose of taking a selfie in front of her gate. He also shared a letter he wrote to Barbra when he was 14! The whole thing was incredibly sweet and Barbra ended up responding on Twitter, to which Richard promptly freaked the f*ck out. Then, the Oscars happened.

On Sunday, Richard was nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Barbra was also at the ceremony to introduce the BlacKkKlansman best picture package. As soon as she stepped onstage, Richard looked visibly overcome with emotion. Following the award show, the two finally got to meet at the Governors Ball afterparty! Alongside a series of (albeit blurry) Instagram photos from their encounter, Richard wrote, "Being Oscar nominated was pretty amazing, but meeting with @barbrastreisand and having a proper conversation was an absolute astonishment." Dreams do come true! Witness how the story unfolded ahead.

Netflix Is Streaming a Version of The Notebook With a Totally Different Ending - Um, What?!

Is The Notebook a perfect movie? No - there are large swaths of people out there who believe James Marsden's character, Lon, deserved better, and I personally am not fond of the way Noah all but forces Allie into a date by threatening to kill himself on the Ferris wheel. But hey, it's The Notebook; we all know what we're signing up for when we watch it! (Romance, heartbreak, anguish, house porn.)

However, it seems Netflix has decided to either tweak the film's iconic, devastating ending, or air a rarely seen alternate ending now that the Nicholas Sparks adaptation is streaming on the platform in the UK. Naturally, fans are upset.

Warning: spoilers for the film's ending to follow. But also it's been 15 years, guys! Come on.

In the film, we bounce back and forth in time between two couples: Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams), and a much older pair in a retirement home named Duke (James Garner) and Allie (Gena Rowlands). It's not until the end that we discover Duke has actually been an older Noah all along, and Allie, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, is indeed an older version of McAdams's character. One night, Duke/Noah sneaks into her room, and she blissfully remembers who he is and their history shortly before they die in each others' arms in their sleep. Cue the sobs.

Some users in the UK are now reporting that the version of the film they're seeing on Netflix cuts off before Noah and Allie are found dead in their room the next morning. Instead, it apparently jumps from the pair embracing before they go to sleep to a shot of birds flying in the sky, leaving their fate vague and open-ended. We have to wait until March 1 before it starts streaming in the US to see if that version of the film will get the same treatment. In the meantime, you can read through the entertaining (and irate) reactions from fans, ahead.

Adam Scott, Sanaa Lathan, and More Star in the Spooky Trailer For The Twilight Zone

When CBS announced the brand-new reboot of The Twilight Zone quite some time ago, the network had already attached Jordan Peele as an executive producer. But thanks to the ad that dropped during the Super Bowl in February, we've been able to catch a glimpse of the horror auteur in his other role for the series: as the even-keeled host of the show itself, just like the original's Rod Serling. Now there's ANOTHER trailer in the mix, which is appropriately creepy, setting up the strange multiverse we've come to expect from the mysterious show. We'll just have to wait to get some answers about the mysterious reboot until it drops on April 1. In the meantime, you can check out the star-packed cast (Adam Scott, Sanaa Lathan, Greg Kinnear, and more) and scour the trailer for Easter eggs.

Here's Proof That Lady Gaga and Irina Shayk Clearly Have Nothing but Love For Each Other

The chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was felt by everyone during their dazzling performance of "Shallow" at Sunday night's Oscars. Even though the internet would love to believe that the A Star Is Born costars are also in love in real life, let's not forget that Bradley is already taken by girlfriend Irina Shayk and they have a 1-year-old daughter named Lea together. Awkward, right? Actually, not really. While people are convinced that there's some sort of weird tension between the ladies, it looks like they have nothing but love for each other.

In addition to sitting next to each other and giggling during the ceremony, Gaga and Irina were also caught sharing a sweet hug in the audience. Now I don't know about you, but that hug seemed pretty damn real to me. So, while the internet may choose to believe that Gaga and Bradley are secretly in love, I think what's really going on here is that Gaga and Bradley are just that good at acting. I mean, Gaga did win the Critics' Choice Award for best actress, after all.

Be still my heart: Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean shared a moment at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty!

All the Details on Dolly Parton's New Netflix Anthology Series

Music legend Dolly Parton has been having a resurgence of sorts lately. At this year's Grammy Awards, she was honored with a huge tribute that included goddaughter Miley Cyrus, Little Big Town, Katy Perry, and a slew of other artists (plus she took the stage herself!). Parton's next move is a new venture for her: creating a Netflix miniseries. Heartstrings, set to debut later in 2019, is already shaping up to be a buzzy series. We've rounded up everything we know so far about the show!

The Concept

According to Variety, Heartstrings will be an anthology series with eight episodes. Each episode, which will be a standalone story with a totally different cast and setting, will also be based off one of Parton's iconic songs - yes, including "Jolene." For the most part, this music-based concept is the only thing connecting the episodes. However, Parton herself is also slated to fill a connecting role: she will appear in every episode in some way. In some episodes, she may have a role in the actual story; for others, she will simply host an introduction to the episode. Variety also reported that "each episode will begin with an introduction by Parton talking/singing to camera about the meaning behind each song."

The Hollywood Reporter has the basic synopses for each of the eight episodes, and they range in style and even genre. One episode, named after Parton's famous hit "Jolene," follows a singer-songwriter longing to get out of a small town. Others have historical settings, from the 1880s to the 1940s and more. Some episodes appear to be mostly comedies, while others are more dramatic. The one common thread is Parton's music and her desire to dramatize the stories and themes behind the songs.

The Cast

Unlike other anthologies like American Horror Story, where the same actors cycle through several stories and play different characters in each new "universe," Heartstrings will have a different cast for each of its eight episodes. The biggest news, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, is that Julianne Hough will star in the "Jolene" episode - alongside Parton herself. Hough plays Jolene, "a flirtatious free spirit who wants to escape her hometown of Coventry, Georgia, and become a singer-songwriter," while Parton will appear as Babe, "a 'force of nature' and the owner of Baby Blue's, a honky-tonk known for its scantily clad servers and eclectic crowd. She looks after all her waitresses but feels especially close to Jolene."

Other episodes will star Once Upon a Time vets Ginnifer Goodwin and Colin O'Donoghue (sorry, not in the same episode!), Scandal's Bellamy Young, and Oscar winner Melissa Leo. The cast also includes several young stars and newcomers to the TV world.

The Music

Each episode of Heartstrings is inspired by a Parton song, but no word yet on how the songs will fit into the structure. They may be performed in some episodes - casting musically-inclined actors like Hough would seem to indicate this is the case - but there has been no official announcement either way. As the series gets closer to its debut, more details are sure to arrive!

This appears to be the latest in GoT's "#ForTheThrone" campaign, which already resulted in an Urban Decay collection and a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial.

Taron Egerton Isn't a Household Name Yet - but Rocketman Might Change That

Elton John's musical biopic Rocketman is only a few months away from its theatrical release date, and if the first full-length trailer is anything to go by, it's going to be a wacky, wild ride. The film, which is produced by John himself, tracks the pop icon's rise from an ordinary youth to an international music sensation and showman. Although actor Taron Egerton, who plays John, has been around Hollywood for a few years now, he's still not quite an A-list name. Here's what you need to know about the young Welsh actor who earned John's personal approval for the role.

For the most part, Egerton's career has been in very British movies. After graduating with his acting degree from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he snagged a couple of roles on British television. From there, his film career really kicked off in 2014, when he starred in two very different movies that both earned notice: as soldier Edward Brittain in the World War I drama Testament of Youth - which earned Egerton a nomination for the best newcomer award at the London Film Festival - and as young spy "Eggsy" in the spy comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service. He then reprised his Kingsman role in 2017 for the sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

Egerton learned to play piano and really does sing in Rocketman, but it's not his first time singing for a film. In 2016, Egerton voiced the character of Johnny for the animated musical comedy Sing and was required to sing two songs. In a prophetic turn of events, one of the songs he recorded was "I'm Still Standing" - one of John's big hits. He also lent his vocals to a cover of The Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside."

In 2018, Egerton tackled two very different movies about criminal financial activity. He costarred with Ansel Elgort, Jeremy Irvine, and Emma Roberts in Billionaire Boys Club, a movie about a real-life criminal ring in the 1980s; the movie was delayed by sexual harassment and assault claims against costar Kevin Spacey and was eventually released to critical and commercial failure. Egerton's Robin Hood, an origin-story-style adventure film, also met with weak box office and reviews. However, if Rocketman is as exciting as the first look seems to be, Egerton's fortunes may be about to take a turn for the better! You can check out some of his previous roles in the gallery below.

Candice Patton on Representation and the Profound Impact of Playing Iris on The Flash

Image Source: The CW

Candice Patton has developed a strong fan base for her role as Iris West-Allen on The Flash, but she's also had to deal with a fair amount of haters. Since getting cast as Iris, the actress has dealt with a ton of unwarranted harassment for portraying a character who was white in the comics. During POPSUGAR Play/Ground last year, Candice opened up about how she's overcome the hate while chatting with POPSUGAR's Kirbie Johnson during the Screen Queens panel with fellow CW stars Ashleigh Murray, Vanessa Morgan, and Caity Lotz.

"Comic book fans are very opinionated [and] very vocal," she explained. "So it was very scary stepping into that role when I started the show." She recalled that one of the producers actually warned her to not go online after she was cast due to all the negative comments. While it wasn't easy dealing with the harassment at first, it did get better eventually. "Over time, people have embraced me and embraced this character, and I know it's really important," she said. "What's great is that in years to come, people will remember Iris West as being African American."

Not only has she influenced how people will see Iris in years to come, but she has also made a great impact on her fellow CW costars. During the panel, Riverdale's Ashleigh Murray expressed how she dealt with similar harassment when she was first cast as Josie. "Josie is originally white in the comics and so is Melody," she explained. "We all ended up coming in as an all-black group."

While she's seen "people say some really unfortunate things" online, Ashleigh admitted that the gratitude and support she's received from fans outshines the negativity. "Now it's just white noise," she added. "I don't even notice it or see it much anymore. And it's probably thanks to [Candice], because if you had to go through it before I did, you probably made the transition a little bit easier."

Candice added that she's OK taking on the criticism if it means more women of color don't have to deal with it later. "The more we get cast, the more we unfortunately take the brunt, the easier it's going to get on every woman of color that comes after us," she said. "It's going to become the normal, I hope, sooner than later. If I have to deal with crap online so a girl that looks like me 10 years from now can successfully be on a show without any of that, then it's well worth it."

Relive the 13 Winning Performances From America's Got Talent

Winning America's Got Talent isn't quite like winning other reality competition shows. Not only does the winner take home a pretty big cash prize, but they also typically find themselves with a slew of offers in their specialty. Of course, that specialty can vary widely, since AGT is, at its heart, a really glitzy, scaled-up version of your elementary school talent show, where anything truly goes.

Over the years, the winners of AGT have definitely proved that to be true, as singers have taken home the title alongside ventriloquists, magicians, and other novelty acts. Before the latest season, America's Got Talent: The Champions, crowns an all-star winner, take a look back at the wacky, remarkable, and just plain talented acts that have nabbed the top spot over the past several years.
