Here's the Scoop...

Now I'm mad! Kanye West is comparing his new tour to 'Star Wars'. Are you kidding me?!

Kanye West believes his upcoming tour for his latest album, The Life of Pablo, will be as inspiring as Star Wars. How dare you, sir!

Here's what Mr. Delusions of Grandeur had to say, "My tour game is strong. My tour game is unprecedented. We're gonna go out in September, I believe. We're working on some of the ideas right now. I'm trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me, the way, you know, when I saw the original Star Wars, it's that conversation."

Is it just me or did that whole rambling declaration make zero sense? Kanye West's tour is going to be like Star Wars? That's like saying jock itch is going to entertain the world over and teach philosophy and the struggles of good versus evil. Just shut your trap, Kanye! Or I'm gonna let the Wookie win.

Be Well,
Steve

Arsenio Hall sues Sinead O'Connor over claims he supplied Prince with drugs
Arsenio Hall has filed a libel suit against singer Sinead O'Connor after she claimed he supplied Prince's drug addiction.

The comedian is reportedly demanding at least $5 million in the suit, filed Thursday, for damages to his public reputation. His camp is also asking for a jury trial.

O'Connor took to Facebook to accuse Hall of providing drugs to Prince for "decades," before his death last month.

But Hall claims the accusations are "despicable, fabricated lies," calling the Irish singer a "desperate attention-seeker."

In her posts, O'Connor also claimed Hall spiked her with drugs during a party at actor Eddie Murphy's house.

"Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades ... Arsenio Hall. Anyone imagining prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land," she wrote in the now-deleted notes, according to CNN.

"Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sheriff's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie Murphy's house. You best get tidying your man cave."

Hall's legal team filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles, stating the singer is "now known perhaps has much for her bizarre, unhinged rants as for her music." They claim Hall has only had "minimal" contact with Prince while he hasn't spoken with O'Connor in "approximately 25 years."

"Hall will not stand idly by while O'Connor attempts to get attention for herself by recklessly spreading malicious, vile lies that he engaged in egregious criminal conduct which falsely links Hall to Prince's death," the lawsuit read.

Singer Prince was found dead in an elevator at his Paisley Park complex in Minneapolis on April 21. Painkiller drugs were found on his body at the time.

Authorities have yet to release an official cause of death.


LOOSE LIPS:
"I, you know, got on a prescription when I was really young to help with my anxiety and depression, and I still take it today. And I have no shame in that, because my mom had said to me, if you start to feel this way, talk to your doctor, talk to a psychologist, see how you would like to help yourself."

Britney Spears pens letter to sons: 'You are my masterpieces'
Britney Spears is sharing her love for her sons in an open letter.

The 34-year-old singer penned a heartfelt message to 10-year-old Preston and 9-year-old Jayden in honor of Mother's Day, which falls Sunday, May 8. The post appears in Time magazine's Letters from Mom collection.

"You are my masterpieces. From the first day I saw the most precious eyes, I believed in miracles to the core. Such a gift God has given me, exploring in your beautiful worlds every day. I pray as a mother I teach you strength and passion to carry the struggles in the world. Most battles will always be won on your knees. I pray you find your dreams.

God always comes to us in tiny whispers. I pray you always find his whisper and understand the true meaning behind following your inner voice as well.

Always believe in yourself and know anything is possible. I pray dreaming awakens your soul to limitless possibilities. I hope the most precious mysteries of life stay with you always and you are never ashamed of how bright your light truly is. I hope you learn praying along is when you are most connected to God, and know you are never alone. He is with you always.

I pray you laugh, love and soar through your journey of life."

Spears shares her sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she split from in 2006 after two years of marriage. The singer told People her kids "come first in [her] life, bottom line," when she spoke to the magazine in March 2015.

"Preston is very opinionated, very expressive, and if he doesn't like something, he's going to tell you," the star revealed. "But he has a huge heart, he's a good kid and he has manners ... Jayden is sweet, very soft-spoken, kinda funny. He's adorable -- a momma's boy."

"Homework is a priority. We have a reward system that helps motivate them: if they get so many As, they get one toy a month," she added of her home life. "Preston just asked for a high allowance -- like $10 a week or $20 a week -- but we'll see!"

Spears last released Britney Jean in 2013, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and includes the singles "Work [Expletive]" and "Perfume." The singer is in residence at The Axis at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas through 2017.

Which singer is pregnant with her first child at age 49?

Janet Jackson is reportedly pregnant with her first child.

Us Weekly confirmed the 49-year-old singer is expecting with husband Wissam Al Mana after Entertainment Tonight reported the news Wednesday.

Word of Jackson's pregnancy comes a month after she announced she will delay the European leg of her Unbreakable world tour. The singer revealed at the time she and Al Mana are planning a family.

"We're in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change," the star said in a video to fans. "I thought it was important that you be the first to know."

"My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour," she explained. "Please, if you can try to understand that it's important that I do this now. I have to rest up, doctor's orders."

Jackson and Al Mana, a 41-year-old Qatari businessman, have been together since 2010 and married in 2012. The singer discussed the possibility of children with Harper's Bazaar in 2009 following her split from Jermaine Dupri.

"Sure, I'd adopt," she told the magazine. "And I think that if I'm really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that's God's plan for me."

Jackson will celebrate her 50th birthday May 16. The singer released her 11th studio album, Unbreakable, in October, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and includes the singles "No Sleeep" and "Dammn Baby."
