Elton was heading from England to New York yesterday when the plane made a U-turn over the Atlantic Ocean and headed back to the UK. According to reports, John's jet was fighting 80-mile-an-hour winds on the way back, making landing difficult. The jet was finally able to land on its third attempt. Elton John was reportedly shaken by the ordeal, but he then caught a later flight to New York, according to The Sun.
Wendy Williams' rep released a statement now that it's official that "The Wendy Williams Show" is coming to her an end. As we told you, Sherri Shepherd's new talk show will take over the timeslot in the fall. Her rep said, "It's been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues. She is incredibly grateful to Debmar-Mercury, to Sherri, and everybody else who has supported the show through this time. She, more than anyone, understands the reality of syndicated television — you can't go to the marketplace and sell a show that's the 'Maybe Wendy Show.' She understands why this decision was made from a business point of view." If she recovers and wants to host, Debmar-Mercury says she'll have a place on TV. All that said, it seems Wendy's statement was NOT approved by Wendy. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said, "Mr. Bragman although I appreciate your concerns and respect you immensely I have not authorized you to make any statements on my behalf regarding my current status with Debmar Mercury. Again thanks for your continuing concern and support."

Channing Tatum almost bailed on the idea of the third installment of "Magic Mike." He told Kelly Clarkson he wasn't sure he wanted to take on the intense fitness regimen and diet required to get in shape for it. Referencing a shirtless photo of him from the second film, Channing said, "It's hard to look like that. Even if you do work out, to be that kind of in shape is not natural. That's not even healthy. You have to starve yourself. I don't think when you're that lean, it's actually healthy." He added, "I don't know how people who work a 9 to 5 actually stay in shape because it's my full-time job, and I can barely do it." To get ready for the third "Magic Mike" film, Channing said he worked out twice a day and ate "completely right." He also talked about how much work it is to get a six-pack and how quickly it can go away saying it takes "two months to get really lean — in three days, you can lose it."

And in case you were wondering if it was really meant for her, he included a photo of the two of them snuggling on a couch. As for why they ended things, one report said he got cold feet and that Shailene felt he "neglected their relationship," according to TMZ. The two had dated for around two years, and Aaron had announced their engagement last February.

Rosie O'Donnell has taken to TikTok to publicly apologize to Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas for an awkward incident at Nobu in Malibu the other day. Rosie was out to lunch with her son, his girlfriend, and Fran Drescher. Nick and Priyanka were eating at the table beside them. Rosie says she went up to Nick and complimented his work on the TV show "Kingdom." Then she turned to Priyanka and said, "I know your dad." Priyanka responded, "You do? Who's my dad?" Rosie answered, "Deepak." He's not her dad, and Priyanka replied, "No, and Chopra is a common name." Rosie then apologized on TikTok to Nick and "the Chopra wife." That seemed a little insulting in itself. She then followed up to apologize again since a lot of people commented on the first TikTok saying Priyanka's response at the mistake was rude. Rosie went on to explain, "She wasn't rude, it was just awkward. You know, I'm sure she gets sick of that," adding, "But she's apparently a very well-known actress and more famous than him, people were saying. So I'm sure it felt weird to her to begin with. And anyway, Priyanka is her name. Priyanka. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. And I just want to apologize to her and everybody who thought it was really inappropriate of me. Sorry. You know. Sometimes I f*** up." See the videos at dlisted.com.

Courteney Cox, who is known for her role as Monica Geller on "Friends," says she's done with fillers. Court shared a video montage on her Instagram page on Tuesday, just a day after she made headlines for her interview with The Sunday Times, where she opened up about her past cosmetic procedures. She said, "There was a time when you go, 'Oh, I'm changing. I'm looking older.' And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years, and I didn't realize that, oh s***, I'm actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now." Her friends even warned her that she was going too far with the cosmetic procedures, and she eventually came around to understand what her pals were talking about. She said, "I was trying so hard to keep up, and that actually made things worse," explaining, "The next thing you know, you're layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it's gradual until you go, 'Oh s***, this doesn't look right.'" She ended, "I've had to learn to embrace movement and realize that fillers are not my friend," noting she has had all of her fillers dissolved and is now "as natural as I can be."
A Giorgio Armani dress as worn by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex for the Oprah special with Meghan and Harry will go on display at the Fashion Museum Bath. The black and white silk georgette dress has been selected as the Museum's Dress of the Year 2021. I normally enjoy all of Meghan's fashion choices, but this black wrap dress with what looked like white bird splotches was not for me. It looked like maybe she shouldn't have been sitting under a tree for the interview.
