Here's the Scoop...
It looks like there are quite a few 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' fans out there. Thanks for sharing your fandom for the Guardians!
Now, here's a story from the "Why would you do that?!" file...
Diane Lane says she dated rock star Jon Bon Jovi when she was 20 years old.
Now 52, the actress shared details on Monday's episode of Watch What Happens Live about her five-month romance with the 55-year-old musician in the 1980s.
"Five months. I was 20," Lane confirmed. "And I think every girl should have such a wonderful experience when she's that young."
"I have some photos of him packing for the tour. Just all the jockstraps were lined up on the floor for the whole band to get through the whole tour," she added. "You have to [wear one] under those leather pants, sweating."
Lane previously addressed her relationship with Bon Jovi after the musician's former tour manager Rich Bozzett claimed in the book Sex, Drugs and Bon Jovi that she and Bon Jovi split after she started partying with Richie Sambora.
"My publicist said I could use a little edge, so I'll let others be quotable," she told the New York Daily News in 2010. It was "a quarter of a century ago, so I'm a little fuzzy."
Lane was married to Christopher Lambert from 1988 to 1994 and to Josh Brolin from 2004 to 2013, while Bon Jovi wed wife Dorothea in 1989. The actress shares daughter Eleanor with Lambert, while Bon Jovi is dad to daughter Stephanie and sons Jesse, Jacob and Romeo.
Lane probably ended the relationship because Mr. Bon Jovi kept using up her all of her hairspray. That's right, I said it!
Be Well,

Katy Perry details new album, talks 'Bad Blood' with Taylor Swift
Katy Perry is shedding light on her upcoming fifth studio album and commenting again on her feud with Taylor Swift.
"Sonically, it's fun and dance-y and dark and light," Perry says of the album which remains untitled in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It's all of these things. It definitely is a change."
According to the 32-year-old, the release which will be her first since 2013's Prism, reflects on how her life have changed since entering into her 30s.
"I left my 20s and I've gone to my 30s," she said. "I've embraced. I've surrendered. I've healed some of my issues with my family, with my relationships. Today I'm sober but I don't know about tomorrow! One day at a time, right? It's all kind of beautiful. I built up Katy Perry and she was so fun. And I still am Katy Perry and I love her so much but, at the core, I'm Katheryn Hudson and I think that's being revealed as I embrace who I really am."
The new album will feature the singles "Chained to the Rhythm," and "Bon Appetit" featuring Migos along with a track titled "Bigger Than Me" about the 2016 presidential election and a dance song titled "Swish Swish."
When asked whether or not she would respond to Swift's 2014 song "Bad Blood" on the new album, Perry denied that she would be focusing on any one person and that it's not her place to comment on whether or not "Bad Blood" is about her.
"I think [my new album is] a very empowered record. There is no one thing that's calling out any one person," she said. "One thing to note is: You can't mistake kindness for weakness and don't come for me. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. Anyone. And that's not to any one person and don't quote me that it is, because it's not. It's not about that. Honestly, when women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place. Period end of story."
"But, let me say this: Everything has a reaction or a consequence so don't forget about that, okay, honey. We got to keep it real, honey. This record is not about anyone else! This record is about me being seen and heard so that I can see and hear everyone else! It's not even about me! It's about everything that I see out there that I digest," Perry continued.
The feud between Perry and Swift began with the release of "Bad Blood" when the "Shake It Off" singer confirmed to Rolling Stone that the track was about a female musician who "tried to sabotage an entire arena tour."
Social media users then speculated that Swift was talking about Perry after she tweeted, "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing," a day after Swift's comments were published.
In September, Perry stated that she is open to working with Swift if the 27-year-old apologizes.

Which British actor says his dream is to direct?
Charlie Hunnam says he is "delighted" with how his acting career has been going, but he admits he is also eager to produce and direct projects.
"I'm incredibly grateful and delighted with how things are going right now and just to continue working with directors that I love and inspire me and doing a diverse range of films. More quiet films like The Lost City of Z and big, exciting spectacles like this, too," Hunnam said at a recent New York press conference to promote his fantasy epic King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
But the Sons of Anarchy alum indicated he is also eager to work behind the camera.
"I suppose the one element that I want to introduce more is development," the 37-year-old actor noted. "I've been developing a few ideas. I have three projects set up at three, different studios. I'm really enjoying that, but there is a steep learning curve for me. As actors, we get to swan in at the last minute after all of the hard work has been done and just execute the vision, which is always exciting and fun, and then leave and the rest of the film-making community has to put the whole thing together. But I've actually been very, very excited to be taking ideas from seed and trying to develop it. And, then, I have some aspiration a long way down the line to direct a film at some point."
Fans shouldn't worry about Hunnam fading away from the big screen any time soon, however.
"I just shot an adaptation of Papillon with Rami Malek, with a great, Danish director called Michael Noer directing, so that was a lot of fun. I actually just read a script last night, which I am not going to talk about, obviously, because I haven't even spoken to the director. But I read a script last night that I really liked," he revealed. "So, I'm just trying to take my time. I'm in a better position in my career than I've ever been and I don't want to [expletive] it up. So, I'm just taking my time and trying to find something really exciting to do."
Directed by Guy Ritchie, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is to open in theaters Friday. It co-stars Aidan Gillen, Djimon Hounsou and Eric Bana.
