"AGT: Extreme" Production On Ice After Horrifying Accident - NBC has shut down production on “America’s Got Talent: Extreme” after Jonathan Goodwin was hospitalized after a stunt went horribly wrong last week.  Jonathan was strapped in a straitjacket and suspended in the air with two cars on each side of him. The plan was for the seasoned stuntman and escape artist to free himself and fall onto the waiting airbag below as the cars crashed into each other. Unfortunately, his timing was off so when the fell, he ended up sandwiched between the car and setting off a rigged explosive. And yes…it was as horrific as it sounds. He was airlifted from Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia to a nearby hospital. The 41-year-old underwent surgery and remained in critical condition in the trauma ward.  An “AGT” production spokesperson released a statement about the incident. “Our thoughts and prayers remain with Jonathan Goodwin and his family as he continues to recover from his accident on Thursday,” the statement said. “In order to focus on the wellbeing of our crew, we will be temporarily pausing production on ‘America's Got Talent: Extreme’ and will resume the last few days of filming at a later date. The health and safety of our cast and crew continue to be our priority.”

It’s Official: Kourtney Kardashian Is Engaged To Travis Barker - In less than a year, Travis Barker has done what Scott Disick couldn’t do in ten: get a ring on Kourtney Kardashian’s finger. The Poosh founder made the announcement official herself with an image of her being embraced on the beach by Barker… at sunset… surrounded by thousands of roses and candlelight. Her caption? One word: “Forever.”  The Blink-182 drummer got down on one knee beachside at the Rosewood Miramar hotel – and she said yes! They had just gotten back from a fun trip to NYC – where Travis was in town to perform with Young Thug on “SNL” – and hit up the Rosewood in Montecito, their usual spot. So a source tells “E! News” Kourtney “had no idea” he was planning to propose.  Travis recruited the Kardashian fam’s florist Jeff Leatham to set up huge floral arrangements on the beach lined with candles, leading Kourtney to center where he “professed his love to her and thanked her for making him a better person.” "It was super emotional and sentimental. Kourtney was so happy and was definitely emotional," the insider says. "She teared up and couldn't stop saying, 'I love you.'"

=====================================   

LA County Attempting Forced Psych Eval On Vanessa Bryant - If the county of Los Angeles has its way, Vanessa Bryant and the other surviving family members of the fatal helicopter that killed Kobe Bryant, their daughter Gianna, and seven others in January 2020 will have to submit to a psychiatric exam to prove a point. To review, they’re suing over the unauthorized release of photos of the crash site. The county wants to know if the plaintiffs’ emotional distress was caused by the photos or the crash itself.  Since the county thinks it was the crash itself, they want a court order to compel the exams to defend themselves against Vanessa’s lawsuit. She’s claiming invasion of privacy and negligence because county employees improperly shared pictures of human remains from the crash site.  “Despite putting their mental condition front and center in this case, Plaintiffs refuse to submit to independent medical examinations (IMEs),” the county stated in their court filing. “The County brings this motion to compel IMEs of the Plaintiffs, which are necessary to evaluate the existence, extent and nature of Plaintiffs’ alleged emotional injuries. Plaintiffs cannot claim that they are suffering from ongoing depression, anxiety and severe emotional distress and then balk at having to support their claims.” The lawyers representing Vanessa and the others blasted the county’s response because it would force psych evals on a group that includes “four teenagers, a 10-year-old child, and a five-year-old kindergartener.” The judge has yet to rule on the county’s request, but the trial is set for February.

=====================================   

Katey Sagal Recovering After Being Hit By A Car - Katey Sagal is on the mend after being hit by a car in Los Angeles on Thursday. The Golden Globe winner’s husband Kurt Sutter has taken to Instagram to give folks an update on her recovery.  Sagal was hospitalized on Thursday after being clipped by a Tesla driver while crossing the street around 11:40am. After being treated at a local hospital, a source tells “People” that the actress is “going to be fine” and will be going home soon, if she’s not home already. The case is still under investigation, but so far no arrests or citations have been made, and there reportedly weren’t drugs or alcohol involved.  "She's the only one bringing in money right now…" Sutter jokes on Instagram alongside a screenshot of a report about the incident. "So I'll be picking her up from the hospital later, taking her to that Dancing With the Stars audition. #fingerscrossed."

=====================================   

Angelina Jolie Hopes To Empower Young People With New Book - Angelina Jolie is on a mission to empower young people with her new book that just hit shelves, “Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth.” Taking to Instagram, the actress says young people can change the world when they “have the agency, power and knowledge to speak up.”  Jolie, a longtime advocate for women and children's rights, wrote the book with the help of “young activists around the world” righting for their rights. She’s hoping the book will inspire younger generations to harness their power to “help achieve a more equal society.”  “I’m so inspired by young people around the world who are on the front lines of the struggle for human rights,” she writes. “From protecting the environment to fighting inequality and discrimination, they are stepping in to do the work adults should but so far have failed to do.”

=====================================   

William Shatner Responds To Criticism From George Takei, Prince William - William Shatner is officially the oldest person to go to space, and apparently not everyone is impressed. At least, as we previously reported, George Takei and Prince William had things to say about it.  Takei threw shade at his former “Star Trek” captain by quipping that he was “boldly going where other people have gone before” as a “guinea pig” for Jeff Bezos’ space travel company Blue Origin. Now, Shatner has fired back on Twitter, urging fans not to send hate Takei’s way since “the only time he gets press is when he talks bad about me.”  “He claims 50+ years ago I took away a camera angle that denied him 30 more seconds of prime time TV. ?????????? I’m giving it back to him now by letting him spew his hatred for the world to see!???? Bill the ????” As we told you, Shatner also responded to Prince William saying there are more important things on Earth to focus on than space travel. Shatner is on the same wavelength, since he told “Today” after his journey it reminded him how important it is to take care of the planet. But still, he thinks Will has “the wrong idea” about space travel. "I would tell the prince, and I hope the prince gets the message, this is a baby step into the idea of getting industry up there," he notes. "So that all those polluting industries, especially, for example, the industries that make electricity... off of Earth."

Jennifer Love Hewitt Taking A Break From Socials For Her Mental Health - Jennifer Love Hewitt needs some time to herself after welcoming her third child with Brian Hallisay last month, son Aidan James. She’s announced on her Instagram story that she’ll be taking a break from social media for her mental health.  The actress has shared a picture of herself “back in the sauna” for the first time since her pregnancy, also her “first long bath since labor.” She admits that social media makes her “feel bad sometimes,” like she getting her “body back fast” and “giving enough.”  So, she’s “giving up social media,” just like her “kids wanna give up YouTube shows.” The actress’ followers – 1.1-million on Instagram and 4.6-million on Facebook – won’t be hearing from her for at least a week or two. You’ll be missed!

Megan Fox & BAG Reach Divorce Settlement - Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are one signature away from being single. The two have finally reached a divorce settlement.

We do know that they’ll share legal and physical custody of the kids. She’s also getting her maiden name back.  Meanwhile, both Megan and Brian have moved on. She’s been hot and heavy with her “twin flame” Machine Gun Kellysince the middle of last year. And he has been dating Sharna Burgess for about a year.

Jussie Smollett Trial Date Set for Late November - Jussie Smollett will finally face the music for his alleged hate crime attack. After his lawyer couldn’t get the case dismissed, a judge in Chicago said that trial would begin on November 29th.  To review, the former “Empire” claimed that he was the victim of a racist, homophobic attack in January 2019. He was later charged with filing a fake police report when investigators discovered that he allegedly paid two brothers to stage the crime against him because he wasn’t happy with his salary.  Those charges were originally dropped by Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx’s office. A judge then assigned a special prosecutor to the case, who charged Jussie with six new counts of disorderly conduct in February 2020. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges.
