Here's the Scoop...

British actor Hugh Grant is reportedly going to be a dad of five.

The 57-year-old star was spotted with pregnant girlfriend Anna Eberstein during an outing Tuesday in New York, according to People.

Grant and Eberstein, who already share a daughter born in 2015 and 5-year-old son John, were photographed at a New York airport. Eberstein's baby bump was seen peeking through her black and white coat.

Us Weekly reported Grant and Eberstein were spotted having lunch the same day at Freds at Barney's New York. The couple enjoyed a margherita and a vegan pizza at the restaurant.

"Anna was very visibly pregnant," a source said.

Grant and Eberstein attended the 2018 Golden Globe Awards together Sunday, although Eberstein's growing belly wasn't as visible. The couple both wore black to show their support for the Time's Up equality and anti-harassment movement.

Grant also shares 6-year-old daughter Tabitha and 4-year-old son Felix with ex-partner Tinglan Hong. He welcomed Tabitha, his first child, at age 51 in September 2011.

"Everyone was right all these years, saying, 'Hugh, why don't you have some children? It changes your life.' Now that I have, I have to say it is quite life changing. I recommend it. Get some," the star said in an interview with The Ellen DeGeneres Show the next year.

Five kids?! Are you kidding me? I have two... and that's quite enough.

Be Well,
Steve

James Franco denies sexual misconduct claims to Stephen Colbert
James Franco addressed sexual misconduct allegations that arose on Twitter Tuesday to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show.

The sexual misconduct allegations were posted on Twitter recently by three women after Franco won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in The Disaster Artist.

The women, which included actresses Ally Sheedy and Sarah Tither-Kaplan, shared their stories and thoughts on Franco as he was seen wearing a "Time's Up" pin at the Golden Globes. The pin was worn by other Hollywood stars to bring awareness to sexual harassment.

"James Franco just won. Please never ask me why I left the film/tv business," Sheedy had said in a since deleted tweet. "Ok wait. Bye. Christian Slater and James Franco at a table on @goldenglobes #MeToo."

"First of all, I have no idea what I did to Ally Sheedy," Franco said when asked by Colbert about the allegations. "I directed her in a play Off Broadway, I had nothing but a great time with her, total respect for her. I have no idea why she was upset."

"The things that I heard that were on Twitter are not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice," he continued. "If there's restitution to be made, I will make it."

"I'm here to listen and learn and change my perspective where it's off," Franco said.

Tither-Kaplan on Twitter said that she felt forced to perform two nude scenes in a film for Franco. "Hey James Franco, nice #timesup pin at the #GoldenGlobes , remember a few weeks ago when you told me the full nudity you had me do in two of your movies for $100/day wasn't exploitative because I signed a contract to do it? Times up on that!" she said. "I one hundred percent did not feel like I had a choice to say no. Best wishes to you!" she later added in response to a Twitter user.

The third woman, Violet Paley, said on the social media platform that Franco tried to force her to perform oral sex on him.

"Cute #TIMESUP pin James Franco. Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis & that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17? After you had already been caught doing that to a different 17 year old?" she said.

"A couple weeks ago, James offered me & a few other girls an overdue, annoyed, convenient phone "apology". I don't accept, but maybe some other people's lives would be made easier if he donated all of his earnings from The Disaster Artist to @RAINN01," she continued.

The allegations led to the New York Times canceling a TimesTalk event with Franco and his brother Dave Franco who were scheduled to discuss The Disaster Artist, Deadline reported.

Franco was previously under fire in 2014 when he admitted to asking out a 17-year-old girl.

Roseanne Barr's character to support Trump on 'Roseanne' revival
Roseanne Barr says her character will support Donald Trump in the forthcoming Roseanne revival.

The 65-year-old actress said Monday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that it's "realistic" for Roseanne Conner to have voted for the president.

"I've always tried to have it be a true reflection of the society we live in," she said of the ABC sitcom, according to ABC News. "So I feel like half the people voted for Trump and half didn't, so it's just realistic."

Barr explained she considers her character to be a part of "the working class people" who voted for Trump in November 2016.

"It was working class people that elected Trump so I felt that was very real and something that needed be discussed," she said, according to Fox News.

Executive producer Bruce Helford said the revival will present different political views within the Conner family. He denied the show will have a specific "agenda."

"We had a lot of discussions about all of our beliefs," he said of the cast and crew. "We had to find a way for this particular family ... to get that debate going in a very honest and a very real way."

Barr is a real-life supporter of Trump who said in a since-deleted tweet Dec. 27 that she voted for the businessman to "shake up the status quo & the staid establishment." She joked at the press tour, however, that she'd "probably" be a better president than the businessman.

Roseanne initially had a nine-season run from 1988 to 1997. The revival will feature Barr and returning stars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Fishman and Sara Gilbert, and premiere March 27.


John Dickerson joins 'CBS This Morning' as new co-host
CBS News anchor John Dickerson has joined Gayle King and Norah O'Donnell as the new co-anchor of CBS This Morning.

"Big smiles this morning as we welcome @JDickerson to the table!" CBS said on Twitter Wednesday alongside a photo of Dickerson posing with King and O'Donnell on the set of CBS This Morning.

Dickerson was announced as the new co-anchor of the morning news program Tuesday by CBS News president David Rhodes. Dickerson will transition out of his Face the Nation post, which he's held since July 2015.

Dickerson is stepping into the spot left behind by former CBS This Morning anchor Charlie Rose who was fired by CBS in November after eight women said he sexually harassed them.

"John's impressive track record and strong all-around journalism extends our commitment to real news coverage every morning at CBS News," Rhodes said in a statement. "Gayle and Norah continue to show tremendous leadership on our morning broadcast each day. Colleagues, newsmakers, and peers all appreciate the depth and context John Dickerson brings to every discussion of the day's events - together with his co-hosts he will project our best values on every broadcast."

"The fact that our reputation is original reporting and storytelling, and then we have John, who also does original reporting and storytelling, to me, it just seems like such a good fit that was really right here all the time," King said about Dickerson to People magazine.

Dickerson, King and O'Donnell worked together previously while anchoring the final presidential debate of 2016. Dickerson also previously filled in with King and O'Donnell on CBS This Morning for a week in December.

"This is a new beginning for our show, but with an old friend," O'Donnell said. "We have a shared curiosity. We care deeply about people and we care deeply about the news. That has always been the centerpiece of that table."
