Here's the Scoop...

Paris Hilton says she's "so proud" of longtime friend Kim Kardashian.

The 38-year-old singer and designer had nothing but good things to say about Kardashian and her family during Tuesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Hilton, who used Kardashian as a personal stylist in the star's early career, responded to those who credit her for Kardashian's success.

"I'm so proud of her. I think she's always been such an amazing businesswoman. She's so smart. She's gorgeous," Hilton said of her friend.

Hilton elaborated on Kardashian's previous hustles, which included closet organization services.

"She would organize people's closets and do that. Made a big business out of it, and then parlayed it into her brand now. Now she's selling makeup and clothing and everything else. She's killing it.

Hilton also had praise for Kardashian's sisters Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner and the rest of the Kardashian family.

"I've known them since they were little girls," she said of Kylie and Kendall. "We all grew up together, and it's amazing what the entire family has done. They're all brilliant, beautiful businesswomen."

Hilton also dismissed rumors she feuded with Kardashian in 2011 after supposedly dissing the star's rear on a radio show.

"I think it was the media just making something up," the star said. "But I just did a video called "My Best Friend's [Expletive]" and it has the most infamous [expletive] in the video. And her [expletive] is hot. I love it."

"We've known each other since we were literally two years old," she added of their lasting friendship.

Hilton and Kardashian teased Hilton's new music video in Instagram posts this month. TMZ said the pair were spotted on set in Los Angeles with RuPaul's Drag Race alum and Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry.

I don't think I'm not the only one to think this, but haven't these two have made enough videos...? Am I right?

Be Well,
Steve

ABC courting 'bigger stars' for next season of 'Dancing with the Stars'

The next edition of Dancing with the Stars will feature more famous contenders than the reality TV personalities, athletes and former child stars who have competed in recent seasons.

"We're going after bigger stars than we have in a long time, so watch this space for some future announcements," Karey Burke, the network's president of entertainment, said at the Disney Upfront Presentation on Tuesday.

ABC typically airs two cycles of DWTS a year -- one edition in the fall, the other in the spring.

Burke said she thinks skipping the Spring 2019 season of DWTS this year gave the network more time to improve the series, which will kick off its 28th season in the fall. It is hosted by Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.

"We have been pitched some really fun format changes for DWTS by the executive producers, but, right now, they are still top secret, so I am not at liberty to share," Burke said. "It's still the show that the audience knows and loves, but they've got some good ideas about ways to surprise and delight the audience in new ways."

--Halle Berry, joking about what she learned during six months of dog training while filming John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Milo Ventimiglia discussed on The Tonight Show his NBC drama This is Us and his role as father Jack Pearson.

Ventimiglia detailed to host Jimmy Fallon on Monday the experience of portraying a younger Jack during the show's recently concluded third season.

"To go backwards and do clean-shaven and war Jack, I had to make sure, and the writers make sure, that everything was still lining up toward that eventual Jack that we knew from the first season and the second season," the actor said.

"So it was challenging, but it was so rewarding," Ventimiglia continued before mentioning his co-star Mandy Moore who portrays Rebecca Pearson.

"What Mandy and I were able to discover in this newer, younger era of that love story was really wonderful," he said.

NBC renewed This is Us for three more seasons on Sunday. Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley also star.

Ventimiglia also discussed his love for Morrissey who was the musical guest on The Tonight Show.

"It's one of those things where I kind of feel like he raised me a little bit," he said about listening to Morrissey and his band The Smiths while growing up. "He kind of consumed my life."
