Still reeling over last night’s Grey’s Anatomy? Jana Kramer feels your pain. In case you missed it, they killed off Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) -- a.k.a. McDreamy -- and she is a complete mess over the loss.

She tweeted, “Crying. My. Eyes. Out. #GreysAnatomy” Her fiancé Mike Caussin confirmed that on Twitter with a photo of a teary-eyed Jana in bed surrounded by tissues. He captioned, “My girl after watching @GreysABC.” She replied, “I know I'm not alone with this pic. #tears #GreysAnatomy.”

What happens when Miranda Lambert accidentally drops a guitar pick in her cocktail? She downs the drink and leaves the pick stuck to the bottom of the glass. She tweeted over the party foul yesterday (Thursday), “I just dropped my guitar pick in my FULL drink. Now the real dilemma...down it or fight with the ice cubes and spill it all? #bottomsup.”

Miranda later revealed the pick in question was a Blake Shelton guitar pick. Sharing a picture of her empty glass, she posted, “I’m very resourceful! Of course it’s a @blakeshelton pick. #buzz #BetThereIsOneInTheDryer #DryersEatPicks”

Miranda and Blake headline the Stagecoach music festival with Tim McGraw this weekend in Indio, California.

Who falls asleep on a date with Kip Moore? Believe it! It happened. The date-gone-wrong happened with one of his crushes in college. Kip tells People, “I kind of always wanted to go out with her, and I finally got her to go out with me. She fell asleep on the ride home and a little bit of drool was coming out of her mouth with her head up against the window.”

Kip doesn’t blame his date for dozing off.  “I couldn’t help but laugh at myself, ‘I’m such a loser -- she is falling asleep on the ride home.’ That is probably my biggest buster moment.”

Kip’s new single, “I’m to Blame,” is available now. He hits the Stagecoach music festival this weekend in Indio, California.

A Florida man who clearly needs a new hobby is recovering in the hospital after a poisonous snake he kissed did what poisonous snakes do and bit him -- on the lips.

Austin Hatfield loves snakes and his hobby is actually kissing them. He's a real hit at parties. Last week, when he went to lay a big smooch on a venomous viper, the snake said, "Oh no you don't" and sunk its fangs into his face. Even before Hatfield was able to rip the snake off, his face began to swell up. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Authorities say Hatfield was keeping the snake illegally without a permit or a cage and may face charges. The snake, meanwhile, was euthanized.

Last night’s TV shocker: Dr. Derek Shepherd died on Grey’s Anatomy.

Actor Patrick Dempsey revealed backstage secrets to Entertainment Weekly about his character’s fate. “There wasn’t a lot of discussion. It was just a natural progression. This was obviously the right time. I like the way it has all played out.” Dempsey learned he was effectively fired from the show only last month.

Earlier this week, the New York Post reported that creator Shonda Rhimes was on her last nerve with Dempsey’s diva behavior. He was under contract for the 12th season, but did not even survive until the end of number 11.

Rhimes provided a written statement last night, (quote) “Derek Shepherd is and will always be an incredibly important character — for Meredith Grey, for me and for the fans. I absolutely never imagined saying goodbye to our ‘McDreamy.’”



Diehard fans have vowed to NEVER watch the series again... But just in case here is a preview for the 2 hour event for next week...

About a dozen Native American actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie because they felt it insulted native women and elders.

The actors took umbrage with native women’s names such as Beaver’s Breath and No Bra, an actress portraying an Apache woman squatting and urinating while smoking a peace pipe, and feathers inappropriately positioned on a teepee.

The Netflix movie is a western spoof called The Ridiculous Six and it stars Sandler, Nick Nolte, Steve Buscemi, Dan Aykroyd, Jon Lovitz and Vanilla Ice.

A Netflix exec defends the movie, telling TMZ, "The movie has ridiculous in the title for a reason: because it is ridiculous." The rep added that the diverse cast "is not only part of -- but in on -- the joke."



The movie also stars country superstar Blake Shelton. A release date will be determined at a later date.

CeeLo Green, Gwen Stefani and Usher will all return to The Voice on Monday, but they won't be taking back their old chairs.

The former coaches are coming back as special advisers to the eight remaining contests. They're expected to add a few extra words of wisdom and advice. There's no word on which specific contestants they'll be working with.

Derek Hough's season with Dancing With the Stars is in doubt.

The five-time champ suffered major injuries while rehearsing for the 10th anniversary special. His rep says Derek broke a toe on his right foot and suffered sprains to his left ankle.

That forced him out of the New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City this week and mostly likely puts the kibosh on his performance on next Monday's Dancing With the Stars.

Derek, who was spotted walking with crutches Wednesday morning, wrote on Instagram, "This is new territory for me. I'm usually able to work through injury, but this one has literally floored me. But like I said before I'm determined to come back all guns blazing."

Dalton Gray, the actor who who played Master Mike on American Horror Story: Freak Show, was seriously injured last weekend when a drunk driver slammed into a car he was a passenger in.

Gray was riding in his friend's car in Katy, Texas when the other driver T-boned them. The 17-year-old actor suffered a shattered hip and femur. He also suffered cuts to his face and trauma to his eye. The drunk driver was arrested and is currently sitting in jail.

A Florida man who called 911 to report losing his possessions also lost his freedom -- after cops responding to the call found a huge stash of drugs that the intruders somehow left behind.

Deputies arrived at Andres A. Barrios’ apartment and described finding signs of forced entry, just as Barrios had described, but almost as soon as they walked in, they stumbled upon two pounds of weed, two guns, a slew of prescription pills...and more than $82,373 in cash. The officers quickly got a warrant to search the man's car, and found a box with 20 more pounds of pot, which he said he obtained "street side."

The moral of the story? If you see something...sometimes it's better not to say anything.

Mila Kunis has been hit with one of the most ridiculous lawsuits ever and it's all over a chicken.

Kristina Karo, a Ukrainian-born woman trying to launch a singing career in LA, says she was best friends with Kunis back in the old country and when they were in first grade, Kunis stole her pet chicken. She says Mila often came over to play with the chicken and then one day, she stole it. Karo, who released this video last year, says the clucking theft caused her a lifetime of emotional distress and it's gotten in the way of her pursuing her dream. Karo believes the stress is worth about $5,000. 

UPDATE:
Mila Kunis says the woman who's suing her for stealing her chicken 25 years ago in Ukraine is clucking crazy.

Mila thinks the lawsuit is as ridiculous as everyone else thinks it is and recorded a cell phone video with Ashton Kutcher mocking the woman. Mila says she's considering filing a counter-suit because Karo's music video "burned her eyes and hurt her body."

Bradley Cooper was spotted out on a date last night with a model, but it wasn't his ex Suki Waterhouse. It appears the actor is totally done with Suki because he was out with Russian beauty Irina Shayk.

The new couple took in a Broadway performance of Finding Neverland, which stars Matthew Morrison of Glee. According to Page Six, Cooper and Shayk met through some mutual friends and have been "hanging out" for the past week.

Robbie Knievel often puts his life at risk, but the other night in Montana, the daredevil put other lives at risk when he allegedly caused a four-car pile-up because he was driving drunk.

The son of Evel Knievel was arrested after fleeing the scene of the accident Tuesday night. TMZ says when police caught up to him a block away, Robbie was "smelling like booze." He refused a breathalyzer test and was taken in for a blood test. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Robbie, who once starred in an A&E reality series called Knievel's Wild Ride, was also arrested on a drunk driving charge in 2013.

Robert Downey Junior didn't appreciate being asked about his "dark" past in a recent interview. 

The actor was in London to promote Avengers: Age of Ultron, but things got tense when presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked about his incarceration for drug offenses. He ended up walking out of the interview. (Watch below.)

Sandra Bullock has been named People magazine's 2015 World's Most Beautiful Woman.

The 50-year-old Oscar-winner says she laughed when she found out about the honor. She says, "No, really. I just said, 'That's ridiculous.' I've told no one." Well, she doesn't have to anyone because the latest issue of People, which hits newsstands Friday, will tell everyone that she tops a list that also includes Empire star Taraji P. Henson, singer Meghan Trainor, Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox,Gabrielle Union and Ariana Grande.

A Florida man who apparently misunderstood a neighbor's request to pump some air into his bike tire instead pumped a shotgun blast in the other guy's direction.

Stephen Gianuzzi got all huffy when the victim walked his bicycle over to his house to ask to borrow a tire pump, as he had several times in the past. The man said he knocked on Gianuzzi's door, but when he didn't hear a response, he walked away -- at which point the 53-year-old opened the door threatened to shoot him, then fired off a single round.

According to the police report, officers who showed up to question Gianuzzi were asked, "What's the big deal? I shot wide to the left of him." He's been charged with aggravated assault -- and we don't think the victim is going to let this one ride.

Of all the times to make an illegal lane change, this dumb duo decided to do it with 10,000 bags of heroin in the car. 

Police in New York stopped Carolyn Claudio and Julio Vargas after their vehicle made an unsafe lane change. When neither of them could give the officer a straight answer as to where they were going, the officer obtained a search warrant -- and found they had nine bags of heroin on them. They were arrested while a drug-sniffing dog took a closer look at the car and discovered more than 10,000 other bags of heroin stashed inside.

Police say the massive haul carried a street value of around $250,000. They were both charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and held without bail.

Sofia Vergara's former fiance is dishing more info on their agreement over frozen embryos which is at the center of a custody battle. 

Nick Loeb filed a lawsuit against Vergara to gain custody of two frozen embryos which were created through in vitro fertilization just months before they broke up and called off their engagement. In the lawsuit, Loeb claims the Modern Family star insisted that her 44-year-old personal assistant be her surrogate and paid her $200,000 to do it, against his wishes. Two embryos were implanted into the assistant in 2013 but neither one survived.

Loeb now wants the remaining embryos so that he can have children on his own. According to a source close to Loeb, he told Vergara that he would raise the children himself and she would have no parental responsibility, including child support. But Vergara refuses to let him have them and insists that they will remain frozen. I can't imagine this is the kind of press that the Modern Family star wants to have out in the universe as she gets set to marry current fiance Joe Manganiello.




David Hasselhoff fights evil-doers and rides a dinosaur in this new music video. The song is "True Survivor," which the '80s icon recorded for a new movie titled Kung Fury. The film was made with money raised on Kickstarter and the former Baywatch and Knight Rider star was the perfect choice to record the theme song. 

Jared Leto is gearing up for his role as The Joker in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" flick.. and here are a couple of pictures that have been released as Jared makes his transition into the uber villianious joker...

ESPN reporter Britt McHenry has been suspended for one week after a video surfaced of McHenry berating a parking garage attendant, network spokesperson Josh Krulewitz announced on Thursday.

The leaked LiveLeak video showed McHenry spewing negative comments at a female attendant while she paid for her ticket at the towing establishment.

"I'm in the news, sweetheart. I will f—ing sue this place," McHenry began.

"That's why I have a degree and you don't," she continued. As McHenry reached into her bag, she muttered, "I wouldn't work at a scumbag place like this. Makes my skin crawl even being here."

Kim Richards is apparently off the wagon.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was arrested after getting kicked out of the Beverly Hills Hotel early this morning (Thursday) for being too wasted.

TMZ says police were called when Kim refused to come out of a bathroom. She was said to be "unruly" and reeking of booze. Eventually cops had to "drag her out" of the facilities. She was arrested and taken to the police station, where she allegedly kicked an officer. 

Kim's been charged with trespass, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication.

The former child star, who went to rehab in December 2011, insisted she was sober on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season seven reunion show, which aired earlier this week.
