Here's the Scoop...

So Bobby Brown has come out and said that the TMZ report about pulling the plug on Bobbi Kristina is false. That makes me feel better. It sure seemed like a morbid idea.

Be Well,

Karina announced the news Tuesday on Instagram. Smirnoff has been with the ABC reality competition for 16 seasons, but said she will not return for season 20 in order to pursue other ventures.

"I wanted all of my incredible family to hear it directly from me," she wrote. "After a lot of thought and prayer, I've decided to focus my energies on some other exciting endeavors including adding author to my resume. I have absolutely loved dancing for you all these years and feel blessed to have been given a platform to put my passion for dance, choreography and creativity on display."

"DWTS has been a huge part of my life for the last 10 years and I will always have a special place in my heart for it," she declared. "I am thrilled that now you will be seeing more of me in new arenas in the days and weeks to come ... I love all of you so very much and couldn't feel more grateful for your support in all that I do!"

Smirnoff made her debut on the program with actor Mario Lopez in season 3. She went on to partner with such celebrities as country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and won the competition with actor J.R. Martinez in season 13.


Pro Surfer Bethany Hamilton Expecting First Child...
Professional surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost an arm in a shark attack in 2003, is expecting her first child with her husband Adam Dirks.

In a video shared on YouTube and Instagram on Monday, Hamilton revealed the baby will be a boy and is due in June.

The 25-year-old said in her message she is 22 weeks along and has been surfing throughout the entire pregnancy.

"Once the belly's pretty big, maybe [I'll] just mellow it out and spend more time swimming, just enjoying the ocean and doing other activities," she explains in the video.

Hamilton detailed her 2003 accident and her path to recovery in the 2004 autobiography Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board. The book was turned into a movie starring AnnaSophia Rob as the main character in 2011.

Hamilton addressed the challenges she will face raising a child with only one arm in the clip.

"I've been thinking about it, but I often forget that I have one arm," she said. "When I think about it, a squirming baby and changing the diaper ... I think how I live life, just adjust and adapt to different things, especially things that are a lot easier with two arms."

Hamilton and Dirks married in 2013.

Marvel Reaches Deal To Bring Spider-Man to 'Avengers' Universe...
After months of rumors, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have reached a deal to incorporate Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, meaning future Spider-Man cinematic appearances will take place in the same canonical timeline as the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises.

Sony Pictures owns the rights to The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, while Disney-owned Marvel Studios produces the franchises for primary Avengers characters Thor, Captain America, the Hulk and Iron Man, as well as ABC's Agent Carter and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. All properties in question were originally created and are still owned by Marvel, but many of the film rights were granted to other studios before the establishment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first MCU installment of Spider-Man will be released on July 28, 2017.

Amy Pascal, who recently stepped down as Sony Pictures chairwoman in the wake of the Sony hacking scandal, will remain a producer on the Spider-Man franchise she's overseen over 13 years, five films, two lead actors and a canonical reboot.

"I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said in a statement.

"Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world's most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."

The deal opens up Spider-Man to appear in upcoming Avengers films, a critical plot-point as the web-slinger frequently appears in the Avengers various print comics and plays a pivotal role in the Marvel: Civil War timeline, which Marvel Studios is gearing up to bring the big screen starting with Captain America's next solo film.
