Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, was reportedly hospitalized Monday night for a possible stroke. His other daughter, Samantha Markle, issued a statement where she didn't miss the opportunity to take a swipe at Meghan, saying, "It's a travesty how much he's been tortured and how much he's had to go through thanks to my sister's disregard the past few years." Some wonder if Tom is faking his medical emergency in order to have an excuse for why he's not going to Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in London next week, which he said he was invited to, according to Page Six.
Jury selection just began in Bill Cosby's latest case involving an accusation from Judy Huth about an incident at the Playboy Mansion in 1975.

His team believes the court will exonerate him without him being present.

Amber Heard's legal team has rested their defense case in her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp, and after Dr. Speigal's testimony, I can understand why. They also decided not to recall Johnny after all. Closing arguments are scheduled for Friday. In the meantime, Amber may have done some damage to her case with a photo her team submitted, which showed Johnny with spilled ice cream in his lap. In that photo is a makeup kit, a "bruise kit," but not the one she's been talking about. She claimed to use a Milani makeup kit to cover her bruises, but this kit is one which used to create the effect of a bruise.
The season finale of "Grey's Anatomy" airs tomorrow on ABC, and some Taylor Swift fans think she's going to make an appearance in it. Turns out Taylor's name was included in the IMDB cast and crew list for the show's upcoming episode, titled "Out for Blood." The show hasn't confirmed the rumor, and the IMDB page with the Taylor reference is gone. Interestingly though, one guest listed is Miss Piggy from "The Muppets." Taylor is a well-known "Grey's Anatomy" fan. She even named one of her cats Meredith after Ellen Pompeo's lead character, Meredith Grey.

Amber Heard's team tried to argue that her legal problems with Johnny cost her screen time and money when it came to the second "Aquaman" film, but Walter Hamada, President of DC-based film productions for Warner Bros., has said that's not the case, according to etonline.com. He claims the decision to reduce her role was determined well before the legal drama and was due to a lack of chemistry between her and Jason Momoa. He said there was talk of recasting her, and when they decided to keep her, it was not as a co-lead. As a matter of fact, Jason allegedly advocated for Amber Heard to keep her role in "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom."
Travis Scott is being sued over another incident at a concert, Rolling Loud in Miami in 2019. A woman says she multiple stampedes broke out during Travis' set, and during one, she was trampled and her leg was crushed.

***SPOILER ALERT "This Is Us" IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN LAST WEEK'S EPISODE*** Mandy Moore has finally opened up about the script that caused her to physically get ill when she read it. It was last week's episode where her character, Rebecca was passing away. She explained, this is a woman I have portrayed for 105 episodes…" adding, "I was so overcome with emotion that I got sick."
While we're talking about "This Is Us," Chris Sullivan, who plays Toby, played one of the most iconic characters of all time, and how did we not even realize it?! Chris was asked in a recent interview with "The IMDb Show," "It's not an official IMBd credit, but you voiced an animal in a Geico commercial?" He replied, "Correct. The Geico camel." That camel was best known for saying things like "Guess what day it is? Hump day!" I really wish that was something I found out after the final episode of the show since now, all I'm going to think about when I watch it is what day it is.
