Kylie Jenner took the stand yesterday in Blac Chyna's civil trial against the KarJenner family. She testified that she was concerned about her brother, Rob Kardashian, dating Chyna. At the time, Kylie was dating Tyga, the father of Chyna's son, King. He allegedly showed her scars from where Chyna had attacked him with a knife. He also told her that the attack came about because Chyna was abusing drugs and alcohol. When asked if she thought Chyna's love for Rob was real, she said, "I just felt maybe me dating the father of her child had something to do with it," implying that Chyna was just dating Rob out of spite.
"IT" creator Stephen King posted his simple recipe for salmon – a little olive oil and lemon, wrap in damp paper towels, microwave for 3 minutes (salad optional). Many fans responded in horror as they would to his books. Most were offended that he would microwave fish. He didn't seem phased by the reactions and doubled-down on his method. Some fans had his back though, as one wrote, "Nobody recommends literature and how to cook salmon better than the Master…🦐."

Fans have waited a very long time for the arrival of "Stranger Things'" season 4. Ross Duffer, the show's co-creator, reassured fans it's going to be well worth the wait when it premieres on Netflix on May 27th. He said, "I think they'll be happy when they see it. It's very, very long, which is why it's taking us a very long time." He also teased that this season will have a much darker "horror movie" vibe to it. And it should be pretty good, considering the Wall Street Journal reports the fourth season "has a per-episode cost" of $30 million.
"Princess Bride" star Cary Elwes was airlifted to the hospital after he was bitten by a rattlesnake near his Malibu home. Thankfully, Cary is going to make a full recovery, according to TMZ.

"Supernatural" star Jared Padalecki was in a "very bad car accident," his co-star Jensen Ackles announced at the "Supernatural" convention in East Brunswick, New Jersey. He told fans, "He was in a very bad car accident. He wasn't driving. He was in the passenger seat, and he's lucky to be alive," adding, "He's at home recovering, which — the fact that he's not even in the hospital right now is, like, blowing my mind because I saw the car."
Things have been pretty serious (and boring, for the most part) in the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial, but one moment brought about some laughter in the courtroom when Johnny couldn't remember any of the movies he's been in, except for one, according to People. On day 8 of the $100 million defamation trial against his ex-wife, when Johnny was asked by his legal team what movie franchises he has been a part of, he could only remember his role as the Mad Hatter in the "Alice In Wonderland" films. He said, "I'm so pathetic when it comes to knowing what movies I've done. I'm sorry. I just, I don't watch them. I feel better not watching them. What was the question again?" That got people in the courtroom laughing – except the judge, who said, "Order in the court or I will have you removed. Understood?"

Nicki Minaj gave a few pointers on Twitter for men if they're looking to hook up with the ladies. It all comes down to attire. She tweeted, "Men should wear gray sweatpants. Everyday.

Especially so I can be in the best shape for tour." She added, "If I am or have been MIA (missing in action) please don't take it personally. I am doing the best I can under difficult circumstances."
You gotta love when little behind the scenes facts about "Mean Girls" trickle out…18 years later. Like this little gem - Emma Gerber's prom hairdo did not take hours to do. You may remember in the film, Cady Heron said during her Spring Fling Queen acceptance speech "Emma Gerber, I mean, that hairdo must have taken hours, and you look really pretty." According to Elite Daily, Korey Kuhl tweeted a picture of Emma at prom and wrote, "I guess I just don't believe that Emma Gerber's hairdo 'must've taken hours'" and actress Jan Caruana, who played Emma, confirmed, "At first it took about 25 minutes. Then I got sent to set and the director said 'that doesn't look like it took hours.' So I was sent back to hair and they stuck some flowers in it and I got sent back again."
Now we know why Will Smith is in India. According to a source, it's for spiritual purposes – to practice yoga and meditation. After slapping Chris Rock, Will realized he needed to change some things about himself. He said, "Change takes time, and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason." Pretty sure they have yoga and meditation here in many of the states, but hey, you do you, Will – whatever works.
