Morgan Wallen worries 4-year-old son will 'think less' of him for Nashville arrest, struggle with alcohol
"One day you’re gonna see my mugshot/From a night when I got a little too drunk," he sang in a sample of his new track. "Hear a song about a girl I lost/From the times that I just wouldn’t grow up/And when you ain’t a kid no more/I hope you don’t think less of me/I try to hide my falling short/But you’re gonna see."

Justin Baldoni calls out Blake Lively for demanding privacy after publicizing sexual harassment allegations
The "Jane the Virgin" star's lawyers pointed to a number of examples they claim show Lively chose to publicize the allegations. According to Baldoni's legal team, Lively provided "the otherwise confidential administrative complaint" filed with the California Civil Rights Department. They also accused Lively's PR team of making "bold statements" to the media in order to "rehabilitate her tarnished image" and pointed to Ryan Reynolds' "planned skit" for "SNL50" that referenced the "It Ends With Us" legal battle as evidence. Baldoni's team emphasized their approval of the court's model protective order, but noted having an "attorneys' eyes only" (AEO) designation for discovery was "not warranted."

Remembering Roberta Flack: 8 timeless hits to salute an unrivaled talent
In an era where popular music is fluid, it is easy to forget the listening world was not always so open. Unless, of course, Roberta Flack’s career is closely examined.

Who is the best supporting actress Oscar winner ever? We rank them.
Best actress contenders arguably get more of the Oscar spotlight, but the supporting actress category at the Academy Awards always gives us scene-stealing winners that pop off the screen in amazing ways. Sometimes it’s a mother who’s nowhere near maternal, like in Mo’Nique in “Precious” or Allison Janney in “I, Tonya.” Other times it’s the showstopping highlight of a movie musical – for example, Jennifer Hudson making “Dreamgirls” her own or Catherine Zeta-Jones killing showtunes in “Chicago.” And the category has also introduced new talent to filmgoers, from Lupita Nyong’o in “12 Years a Slave" to Alicia Vikander in “The Danish Girl." With a new woman joining their ranks when the 97th Academy Awards air live on Sunday (ABC and Hulu, 7 p.m. ET/4 PT), we’re ranking every best supporting actress of the past 25 years.
