Here's the Scoop...

I'm sad to report that the legendary actress Mary Tyler Moore has died at the age of 80 on Wednesday, according to her publicist.

Moore who starred in The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show died in a Connecticut hospital, her rep Mara Buxbaum confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Today, beloved icon, Mary Tyler Moore, passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine," Buxbaum said in a statement.

Earlier in the day TMZ reported Moore was in "grave condition" after dealing with a number of health problems.

I really enjoyed her on The Dick Van Dyke Show, but I never really saw The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I'm going to have to tune into ME-TV or AntennaTV and check out some re-runs. A true talent and a remarkable woman.

Be Well,
Steve

Keshia Knight Pulliam welcomes first child, daughter Ella Grace
Keshia Knight Pulliam has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Ella Grace.

"Ella Grace has arrived!!!" the former Cosby Show star wrote on Instagram Monday to announce Ella Grace's arrival alongside a photo of herself holding up her daughter's feet in a pair of white socks.

Details surrounding the birth have yet to be disclosed.

Pulliam, 37, shares the child with estranged husband Ed Hartwell, 38, who filed for divorce and demanded a paternity test in July days after the actress announced she was pregnant.

"She wanted a baby really fast, and what I was trying to explain to her was that -- from my beliefs, from seeing other successful people -- that when you first get married, especially since we didn't have a long courtship, that we should actually focus on each other and not just have a baby," Hartwell, a former NFL star said of what led to the divorce.

The couple were married in January after four months of dating.

According to Pulliam, Hartwell had cheated on her and stated, "[The paternity test is] not an issue. There's no problem. I've never been unfaithful to my husband. This is his daughter."

Despite the drama, Pulliam has remained positive noting previously on her podcast Kandidly Keshia, "Despite what's been publicized, there's always funny, there's always love, there's always laughter, no matter what."

Which actor said he'd 'love' to appear on 'Better Call Saul'?


Hugh Jackman's 'Logan' officially rated 'R'
Hugh Jackman's Wolverine swan song Logan has officially been rated "R."

The film's rating was confirmed Monday by director James Mangold who wrote on Twitter, "Official: Please be advised that Logan has been rated R for 'strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity.'"

The rating comes on the heels of Fox's other X-Men property Deadpool releasing in 2016 with an "R" rating on its way to earning rave reviews and $760 million at the worldwide box office.

While speaking with Uproxx in December, Mangold revealed that Jackman took a pay cut in order for the film to receive the higher rating.

The latest trailer for the film released Thursday depicts a more gritty, bloody and violent tale as Jackman's aged Wolverine is seen fightting to protect a mysterious mutant girl with powers similar to his own.

Also starring Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Logan is set to arrive in theaters March 3.


??? Guess Who ???
Which actor said he'd 'love' to appear on 'Better Call Saul'?

Aaron Paul says he would "love" to make an appearance on Better Call Saul.

The 37-year-old Breaking Bad alum hinted on Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he will reprise Jesse Pinkman on the AMC spin-off prequel series.

"God, I hope so," Paul told host Ellen DeGeneres. "Maybe I already shot the... We -- they -- just wrapped the last season."

"I could be [on]. I would love to be on," he added before agreeing with DeGeneres that he'd prefer to surprise fans with a potential appearance.

Paul played Jesse throughout Breaking Bad's five-season run from 2008 to 2013. He previously discussed the possibility of appearing on Better Call Saul in an interview with Variety in January 2016.

"Hopefully I will be involved," the star said. "But I don't know when that may be. I'm not going to say anything more. But I'm absolutely open to the idea. Hopefully it happens. I'm all about it."

"If I were to be involved, I can promise that it would be done in the most beautiful way because there's no way they're going to bring Jesse Pinkman back just to bring him back," he added. "They're going to bring him back and the audience is going to be very excited not just to see him, but to see how it all unfolded."

Better Call Saul will return for a third season April 10, and feature Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring in the new season. Paul presently plays Eddie Lane on the Hulu series The Path, which will premiere a second season Wednesday.
