Ashton Kutcher was all set to go to outer space, but Mila Kunis convinced him otherwise. He discussed the situation with "Cheddar News." "When I got married and had kids, my wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children," Ashton admitted. "So, I ended up selling my ticket back to Virgin Galactic. I was supposed to be on the next flight, but I will not be on the next flight." And while Ashton – who shares six-year-old Wyatt and four-year-old Dimitri with Mila – won't be in space anytime soon, he's not giving up hope. "At some point, I will be going to space."
Sherri Shepherd says Jamie Foxx owes her $50. She discussed it on this week's episode of the "PEOPLE in the 90s podcast." Apparently Jamie was just starting out in the 1990s. He was living with his super jealous girlfriend at the time, and she ended up putting him out. "He didn't have any money, and I loaned him $50," she said. "He never gave it back to me." And while there are no hard feelings over the cash, Sherri wants the record to be clear. "He might deny it to this day. He might act like he don't," she says. "Oh, he might have little memory blasts, but, yes, he does owe me $50." So far, he hasn't commented on the situation.

As we previously reported, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne is caught in the middle of her estranged husband Tom Girardi's legal woes. The latest? She's being accused of hiding her hand in his alleged embezzlement. As you'll recall, the judge has given Girardi's victims the green light to sue her for the money Girardi owes them. Jayne allegedly had a hand in his embezzlement by funnelling "10s of millions of dollars" in client funds to her businesses. After finally coughing up her bank records, she's now being accused of trying to hide her assets – a total of $25-million between "luxury items" and money from Girardi's law firm. New court docs obtained by "People" claim Jayne and Girardi "conspired to conceal" funds from creditors in the bankruptcy case. In Jayne's case, she's been slammed for using her "notoriety and glamor" to hide her part in the embezzlement, like funding her luxury lifestyle instead of returning the money.

Did you know that James Gandolfini was paid NOT to take a role? "Sopranos" stars Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa opened up about it to "Entertainment Weekly." When Steve Carell left "The Office" in 2011, the late actor was offered the role of his replacement. However, HBO paid him to turn it down. "I think before James Spader and after Carell, they offered Jim, I want to say, $4 million to play him for the season and HBO paid him $3 million not to do it. That's a fact," Steve said. The move was apparently to "keep the legacy of 'The Sopranos' pure." Also, James had a deal to make the miniseries "The Night Of" in development for HBO prior to his death in 2013.
We previously reported that leaked audio revealed Elaine Welteroth consoled her co-host Sharon Osbourne after that explosive racism conversation on "The Talk" that led to Osbourne's exit. Now, Welteroth has responded to the leak of their private backstage conversation. In the recording, Welteroth insisted Osbourne wasn't racist. She also seemed to back up claims that the whole racism conversation was some kind of "set-up" by producers," saying Sheryl Underwood was "forced" to ask Osbourne the questions. The conversation was interesting considering reports that Welteroth helped launch an internal investigation at CBS by going to HR over the show's "racially insensitive and hostile environment." "Entertainment Tonight" reports that in a statement, Welteroth says she's upset that she was recorded without permission. Even so, she doesn't regret what she said in the recording. She also denies filing a complaint with HR "against Sharon Osbourne or anyone else."
Christine Quinn welcomed a baby boy Christian two months ago – and she says he made an "extremely dramatic entrance." Taking to Instagram, the "Selling Sunset" star says she feels "lucky to be alive" after Christian's birth. Quinn has shared a sweet snap cradling Christian, wishing her "sweet little baby" a happy two-month birthday. She's been "putting on a brave face," but says Christian's birth left her feeling "hopeless, terrified and traumatized." She was in so much pain at the hospital that she was rushed for an emergency C-section, and she says "Baby C was seconds away from not making it. I am so grateful for the doctors and surgeons that saved BOTH of us. With this, I realized that with the responsibility of being a role model, it requires complete authenticity, and I wouldn't be genuine if I didn't share my vulnerabilities in the process. That to me is the true definition of being a true Boss B----."

She's having dinner with Stanford, Miranda, and Charlotte when she tells them she isn't in a good place. "I was taping the podcast, I was washing my hair.
