Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre and family stopped by the set since they were apparently vacationing in Vancouver, and his daughters are fans
It looks like the second episode will either feature more dream weirdness or the gang is gong to get all dressed up to save Pop's which might get vandalized as a result of Fred getting shot.

The Defiant Ones (doc about the partnership of Jimmy Iovine & Dr. Dre) airs final part tonight
The four-part HBO documentary by Menace II Society director Allen Hughes examines the partnership between music executive Jimmy Iovine and rap producer Dr. Dre. It follows both men musical trajectory. The story of Dr. Dre is well known, but the career of Iovine is what makes the doc so interesting.
“The Defiant Ones” is a glossy, ambitious and often fun biographical documentary on Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine https://t.co/yZXlNlaaS7

Dr. Dre is trash, and nothing new is revealed about him, but the Iovine parts were really interesting. Jimmy Iovine has helped shaped the career of SO many stars and to hear them talk about him was fascinating. Everyone from Snoop, Nas, Diddy, Trent Reznor, Eminem, Gwen Stafani, Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Bono and MORE.
Also, the story of how Tyrese almost effed up the 3.2 BILLION dollar Apple/Beats deal was HILIAROUS. Like, the first five minutes is spent on dragging his ass. And that JFK Jr. used to play football at Iovine's house with Suge Knight!!! Stevie Nicks hid from Tom Petty in Iovine's basement!

They really want someone who is Southeast Asian, Indian or Middle Eastern for the part. It’s a singing part, and one of the names that came up was [Boy Bander]! They like that he can sing and already has millions of fans but then someone made a crack about it not being family-friendly to pay the talent in kilos. A couple of people doubted he would even make it through filming because he has a history of cancelling at the last minute. It wasn’t a hard “No,” but they did move on to the next person pretty quickly

- The Jersey Shore crew has been seen filming on the Jersey boardwalk in Asbury Park
- MTV has denied in earlier stories that they are involved in the reunion so it's not clear who is doing the filming
- Snooki posted a picture of her, J-Wow, Sammy Sweetheart, and her other meatball Deena on Instagram leading to the rumor of the reunion

I'm not sure how much fun this is going to be without drunken shenanigans :/
What was your favorite Jersey Shore scene? Coked up Rahn cheating on Sam and Snooki's drunken "imma good person" arrest are pretty iconic.

- Says that the Aeon Flux team (including herself) fucked up the movie (still calls Karyn Kusama a great director)
- Patty Jenkins is interviewed and calls Charlize and Gal her girls
- Talks about how women have had break out moments like Wonder Woman before but Hollywood doesn't sustain them and is all too quick to stop making films by/about women when there's one flop
- Doesn't see the fact that she got pay parity with Chris Hemsworth for Snow White + the Huntsmen 2 as a victory because there are many women who aren't in a position to ask or recieve equal pay
- The weight gain for her upcoming film Tully made her depressed because she ate too much sugar and it was hard to lose the weight after

The View reacts to Joe Scarborough no longer being a R and Trump Jr on Hannity
Today's hosts: Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Jedediah Bila and Whoopi Goldberg
Today's 🔥 topics:
It's Wednesday. After yesterday's hoopla, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC's Morning Joe appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Scarborough announced that he was no longer a Republican but now an Independent. Jed questions why it took him so long. Joy thinks that everything that's happening is King Lear. Tiffany got a mention from Joy.
Donald Trump Jr. appeared on Hannity yesterday in regards to his own scandal. He said he would "have done things differently." He still defends it as opposition research. OPPOSITION RESEARCH THAT CAME FROM THE FUCKING RUSSIANS. Joy says he tried to rob the bank and he couldn't find the money. Sunny doesn't like it that people aren't concerned enough. Sara brings up how they used that the moniker of how they aren't politicians. If they weren't politicians, there should have been red flags as to what is happening. Oh Sara!

![]()
As previously reported, Utada Hikaru released "Oozora de Dakishimete" as her first digital single since the release of her comeback album "Fantôme" yesterday. Since its release, the song reached #1 on iTunes in the following seven countries/regions: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, and Japan. To celebrate the successful release and promote the single, a special page has been added to Utada Hikaru's official site that updates its apperance based on the most retweeted lyric from the song.
Meanwhile, Hikki also announced her next digital single "Forevermore" will be released on July 20th. The song serves as the theme song of TBS drama "Gomen, Aishiteru". A snippet can be found on her official site's discography page.
Haruto Amuro (Namie Amuro's Son) Attends Prestigious University, Plans to Become an Artist in the United States
![]()
Note: I'd use a picture of Haruto since he's the main subject of the post, but there isn't any recent pictures of him since Namie keeps her life private afBefore getting into the news itself, let's refresh ourselves regarding Namie Amuro's relationship with Masaharu Maruyama (Also known as "SAM" of TRF fame). In 1997, Namie Amuro shocked the industry with the announcement of her marriage to Maruyama (They were 22 and 37 respectively) as well as her pregnancy. Some considered this incident as the origin of the term "dekichatta kekkon" (Shotgun wedding) in the context of the Japanese entertainment industry. Five years later, the couple divorced due to irreconciable differences. According to multiple tabloids, Maruyama's family heavily contributed to the divorce due to their strong disapproval towards Namie Amuro as she came from a struggling single mother household whereas Maruyama's family owns a successful hospital with multiple doctors in the family. Although Maruyama gained custody of their son (Haruto Amuro) during the divorce, Namie eventually gained full custody of Haruto in 2005 while reviving her career.
A recent article has been released detailing Haruto's relationship with Namie Amuro, his educational accomplishments, and plans on pursuing a music career. This article is especially intriguing due to Namie Amuro keeping her and her family's life as private as possible. According to this article, Namie Amuro is a dilligent mother that supports her son as much as possible while raising him to become a responsible, independent adult. An entertainment official claims that she would tell her son things such as "I’ll mother you until you graduate from high school, but after you graduate [from high school], you will have to forge your own path [as an adult]" and "Challenge yourself, take responsibility for your actions, and don’t break the law".
As for Namie herself, she reportedly tries to be as involved in Haruto's life as possible despite how her work can easily conflict with this goal. Namie will not work after 6PM on weekends in order to secure time with her son and allegedly wakes up at 6AM in order to prepare lunch for Haruto everyday. She also picks him up from school whenever possible and will devote her long breaks to travelling with her son.
After attending an international school in Tokyo and later transferring to a Japanese high school specailizing in English eduction, Haruto spent a small period of time abroad to study in the United States. Now, he is attending an unamed prestigious university. According to the same entertainment official, Namie fully supports her son's educational goals and doesn't mind spending money to allow him to study abroad, but she made sure Haruto understands the value of money and to use it responsibly.
However, it seems like Haruto is also eyeing at a potential music career. While attending university, he is attending lessons on his own volition to become a music artist in America. According to rumors, Namie Amuro has been allegedly spotted attending her son's music and dance lessons at avex's training studio located in Harajuku. According to an official at avex, Haruto trains on the same floor as other trainees (But separated by a room divider), and Haruto has expressed a desire to work on music composition and recently started playing piano in his own style.

Haruto Amuro (Namie Amuro's Son) Attends Prestigious University, Plans to Become an Artist in the United States

A recent article has been released detailing Haruto's relationship with Namie Amuro, his educational accomplishments, and plans on pursuing a music career. This article is especially intriguing due to Namie Amuro keeping her and her family's life as private as possible. According to this article, Namie Amuro is a dilligent mother that supports her son as much as possible while raising him to become a responsible, independent adult. An entertainment official claims that she would tell her son things such as "I’ll mother you until you graduate from high school, but after you graduate [from high school], you will have to forge your own path [as an adult]" and "Challenge yourself, take responsibility for your actions, and don’t break the law".
As for Namie herself, she reportedly tries to be as involved in Haruto's life as possible despite how her work can easily conflict with this goal. Namie will not work after 6PM on weekends in order to secure time with her son and allegedly wakes up at 6AM in order to prepare lunch for Haruto everyday. She also picks him up from school whenever possible and will devote her long breaks to travelling with her son.
After attending an international school in Tokyo and later transferring to a Japanese high school specailizing in English eduction, Haruto spent a small period of time abroad to study in the United States. Now, he is attending an unamed prestigious university. According to the same entertainment official, Namie fully supports her son's educational goals and doesn't mind spending money to allow him to study abroad, but she made sure Haruto understands the value of money and to use it responsibly.
However, it seems like Haruto is also eyeing at a potential music career. While attending university, he is attending lessons on his own volition to become a music artist in America. According to rumors, Namie Amuro has been allegedly spotted attending her son's music and dance lessons at avex's training studio located in Harajuku. According to an official at avex, Haruto trains on the same floor as other trainees (But separated by a room divider), and Haruto has expressed a desire to work on music composition and recently started playing piano in his own style.

Haruto Amuro (Namie Amuro's Son) Attends Prestigious University, Plans to Become an Artist in the United States

Note: I'd use a picture of Haruto since he's the main subject of the post, but there isn't any recent pictures of him since Namie keeps her life private afBefore getting into the news itself, let's refresh ourselves regarding Namie Amuro's relationship with Masaharu Maruyama (Also known as "SAM" of TRF fame). In 1997, Namie Amuro shocked the industry with the announcement of her marriage to Maruyama (They were 22 and 37 respectively) as well as her pregnancy. Some considered this incident as the origin of the term "dekichatta kekkon" (Shotgun wedding) in the context of the Japanese entertainment industry. Five years later, the couple divorced due to irreconciable differences. According to multiple tabloids, Maruyama's family heavily contributed to the divorce due to their strong disapproval towards Namie Amuro as she came from a struggling single mother household whereas Maruyama's family owns a successful hospital with multiple doctors in the family. Although Maruyama gained custody of their son (Haruto Amuro) during the divorce, Namie eventually gained full custody of Haruto in 2005 while reviving her career.
A recent article has been released detailing Haruto's relationship with Namie Amuro, his educational accomplishments, and plans on pursuing a music career. This article is especially intriguing due to Namie Amuro keeping her and her family's life as private as possible. According to this article, Namie Amuro is a dilligent mother that supports her son as much as possible while raising him to become a responsible, independent adult.
