"Drake & Josh" star Josh Peck and his "Good Guys" podcast cohost, Ben Soffer, said they had a great interview with Jennette McCurdy from "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat" on the day she released her memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died," RadarOnline.com reports, but it never aired. They said even though it was amazing, "it will never see the light of day." Ben said, "Unbelievable interview. Spoke about everything that she wanted to, nothing that she didn't want to. It ended, and she told us not to run it." Josh tried to bring it up again about four or five months later, and he's gotten no response from Jennette. She did sign a two-book, seven-figure deal after the first book became a best-seller, so maybe she shared details she realized she could hold onto for the next book.
Olivia Wilde is reportedly upset with Emily Ratajkowski for saying she "feels bad" for Olivia after Emily was caught kissing Olivia's ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles.

Olivia feels betrayed by Emily and believes she broke "girl code" when she made out with Harry. Emily finds it bizarre that her dating life is of interest to the public at all, Daily Mail reports.
Music and civil rights legend Harry Belafonte has passed away at the age of 96, according to USA Today. Known as "The King of Calypso," Harry was best known best for his songs "Jump in the Line (Shake Senora)" from 1961 and 1956's "Day O (The Banana Boat Song)," both made famous again in the 1980s movie "Beetlejuice." Harry Belafonte was also the first Black actor to win a Tony Award, and the first Black man to win an EMMY, for his first TV special "Tonight with Belafonte." He was also a humanitarian, marching with Dr. Martin Luther King in the 1960s and helped organize "We Are the World." He said in 2011, "I've always looked at the world and thought 'What can I do next? Where do we go from here? How can we fix it? And that's still how I look at the world because there is so much to be done."
Oprah Winfrey neighbors are not happy with her after she had a giant rock wall built on her property to protect her home from flood waters and to stop creek erosion. This comes after the last major flood tore through her property. However, the neighbors in her Montecito neighborhood have reportedly raised concerns about the wall rerouting water onto their own properties now because of it, TMZ reports.
John Stamos was on Josh Peck's "Good Guys" podcast, and he said that he got Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fired from their first-ever acting job on "Full House." TMZ reports that in the pilot episode, there was a scene where Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey had to take care of baby Michelle, who was played by the Olsen twins. Apparently, the twins were crying so much that John yelled "get rid of them!" But, he then discovered, most babies just cry a lot. The Olsen twins firing only lasted a few days before they were brought back… and then starred in the show for eight full seasons.
The death of "Dancing with the Stars" judge Len Goodman shocked the world but apparently Len saw it coming. Page Six says that Len accurately predicted his death a year ago. Last year, he said in an interview, "My dad had the right idea. He loved gardening and he had a stroke while he was out in the garden. He was 79 so if I go the way of my dad, that'll be next year." Len would have turned 79 yesterday.

Meghan Trainor announced the gender of her first baby on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," so it makes sense she would announce the second baby on the show as well – turns out, it's a baby boy.

"Big Brother" stars Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott had each others backs when they were on season 22 of "All -Stars," and they had each other again when they got involved in a fight outside their Florida bar. TMZ reports that a couple walked inside and asked for drinks, but Memphis told them they were closed. That answer didn't go over well with the couple, who got feisty and had to be escorted out by Memphis and Christmas, where Memphis was then attacked by the guy. Christmas ended up getting hit by the woman who was with the guy. A bartender tried to break it up. Pretty sure we don't need to see the police report to know that alcohol was involved.
