Pregnant Kate Middleton Channels Princess Diana in Red Houndstooth Coat During Royal Tour: Pics!

Kate Middleton's maternity wear just keeps getting better and better!

During day two of her royal tour of Sweden and Norway with Prince William on Wednesday, the Duchess of Cambridge seemingly took a style cue from her husband's late mother,
Princess Diana .

The brunette beauty wore a red-and-white houndstooth coat, custom-made by Catherine Walker. Middleton accessorized the bold number with sheer burgundy tights, matching heels and a deep red Chanel handbag.

The outfit looks very similar to an ensemble Princess Diana wore to an event at Sandringham in December 1990. Just like Middleton, the late royal styled her Moschino coat with sheer tights and red heels, while also donning an oversized hat and black-and-white houndstooth skirt.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are expecting their third child together, were accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel as they made their way to the Karolinska Institute on Wednesday. According to a tweet from Kensington Palace, the royals learned more about Sweden's pioneering work in the field of mental health and children's well-being, and how children and young teenagers are supported through the Swedish education system.

Kate ditched her jacket while indoors, revealing her stunning Alexander McQueen dress -- and a glimpse of her growing belly!

She and her husband later visited Matteusskolan, a school in the heart of the city centre, where the YAM programme operates. Inside, Prince William gave a speech to students, teachers and guests about the importance of young people having conversations about mental health challenges.

The itinerary for day two was much more serious than what was planned for their first 24 hours in Sweden. The lovebirds kicked off their four-day tour by visiting an outdoor skating rink in Stockholm, sharing lots of laughs while challenging each other to a game of ice hockey.

Kardashian and Hilton have a long history. The mother of three used to be Hilton’s assistant back in the day and then friend. They had a brief falling out in 2008 over some comments Hilton made about Kardashian’s famous backside. But in recent years they have shown more and more support for each other.

“We’ve known each other since we were little girls, we’ve always been friends,” Hilton told Yahoo Style in 2015. “It’s nice to inspire people. I’m really proud of her and what she’s done.”

“Congratulations @KimKardashian on your new baby girl! Love the name Chicago! So cool to be named after a city! Loves it,” she wrote.

The newly engaged Hilton also recently told TMZ that Kardashian will “of course” be invited to her wedding with Chris Zylka.

Miley Cyrus, John Legend, Anna Kendrick and More Pull Out All the Stops for Elton John Tribute

Stars are going all out for Elton John !

Miley Cyrus, John Legend, Anna Kendrick and many others brought their style A-game to Elton John: I'm Still Standing -- A Grammy Salute at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Tuesday night.
The "Malibu" songstress dared to go bold in a sparkling silver sequin one-piece with matching thigh-high boots.

"Backstage 'I'm Still Standing' @eltonjohn tribute! #BitchIsBack 😻," Cyrus captioned one of three Instagram posts she shared. On Sunday, Cyrus and John teamed up to sing a gorgeous rendition of "Tiny Dancer" at the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards, and she also performed during Tuesday's tribute.

Legend, who also took the tribute stage, was spotted on his way to the musical event wearing a navy-and-burgundy plaid suit with a white button-up and funky tri-colored bow tie. He jazzed up his outfit even more with bejeweled black sunglasses.

Anna Kendrick showed off her equally shimmering look for the concert on Instagram. "Major Shine for Elton tonight," the actress wrote alongside a picture of her Rasario sequin dress, iridescent Balmain purse and David Yurman rings.

Ed Sheeran -- who did not attend last Sunday's GRAMMY Awards, though he picked up two wins -- Tracy Morgan, Lucy Liu, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, and Edie Falco were all also in attendance, while Sam Smith and Keith Urban were also among the evening's performers.

Meanwhile, Marren Morris and Miranda Lambert, who were expected to perform during the event, shared a pre-concert jam session where they and their glam squad sing along to TLC's "No Scrubs."

Chrissy Teigen Literally Bowed Before Beyonce at the GRAMMYs

Just when you thought Chrissy Teigen couldn’t get any more relatable...

The 32-year-old pregnant supermodel and TV personality got candid about her recent night at the 60 Annual GRAMMY Awards during her Tuesday visit to The Tonight Show.

Teigen admitted that she still gets star struck for one person – Beyonce!

“There’s nobody like seeing Beyonce in person. It’s just so incredible,” Teigen told host Jimmy Fallon of the “Formation” singer. “The aura that comes around her. I mean, she just emits this aura that’s spectacular.”

Teigen was clearly overwhelmed in Queen Bey’s presence, which led to a pretty hilarious outcome.

“On our way out, I was like, ‘We have to say something, right?’” she recalled. “And I took both her hands -- I don’t do this for anybody, it was very weird -- and John [Legend]’s like, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ And I took her hands and I got down on my knees and I was like, ‘Sorry to bother you, My Queen.’ Like, who says that?! It was like, m’lady. Like, what do you even -- who am I?”

Teigen said her husband, John Legend, was “bro-fiving” JAY-Z during her awkward moment with his wife. She noted the rapper, who unfortunately lost out on all of his nominations at this year’s show, had his own bottle of wine at his seat during the show.

“We left early because sober GRAMMYs is a different type of GRAMMYs for me,” Teigen quipped.

Teigen, who was wearing a stunning cherry red silky dress with lace detailing and a matching coat, also opened up about her second pregnancy, making Fallon guess how far along she was. After he said five months, she replied,
“That’s great! That’s a really great guess! He got it. I just had to say it because everybody thinks I’m due tomorrow, but I’m like, no, just second baby.”

Noting that her daughter Luna has “no clue” that a sibling is on the way, Teigen added that she’s very attached to Legend.

“She’s so tied to him. I mean, that’s her everything,” she said. “I’ve got my little boy coming, so we’re going to team up against them, I think.”

Justin Bieber's Latin GRAMMY Award Was Mailed to the Wrong Person

Justin Bieber is missing his Latin GRAMMY -- and so is producer Carlos Escalona Cruz.

The two both won awards at the Latin GRAMMYs in November (Bieber for his "Despacito" remix with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, and Cruz for Marc Anthony's "Babies"), though it seems they may have been sent each other's trophies.

Cruz took to Instagram on Monday to show off Bieber's statuette, with his name and category, Best Urban Fusion/Performance 2017, etched on the front.

“This is the funniest way to start #2018,” Cruz captioned a slideshow. “I was expecting a #Grammy for @marcanthony for babies and I received @justinbieber Grammy for #despacito remix with @luisfonsi and @daddyyankee instead.”

The producer joked that Bieber must have gotten his GRAMMY in the switchup, tagging him a series of memes asking him to give it back.

This is the funniest way to start #2018, I was expecting a #Grammy for
@marcanthony for babies and I received @justinbieber Grammy for #despacito remix with @luisfonsi and

Former NBA Star Rasual Butler and His Wife Dead Following Car Crash

Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle, died on Wednesday in a single-vehicle car accident in Studio City, California. Butler was 38, LaBelle was 31.

According to CBS Sports, the former NBA star was driving and lost control of his Range Rover around 2:30 a.m. with LaBelle in the car. Butler struck three parking meters and slammed into a wall, which caused the vehicle to flip. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reports.

"The NBA family is devastated by the tragic passing of Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle," the National Basketball Association tweeted on Wednesday. "A pro's pro, Rasual enjoyed a long, successful career and was widely respected by his peers and coaches. We grieve with their loved ones during this difficult time."

Butler was selected by the Miami Heat with the 53rd pick of the 2002 NBA draft. Over his 14-year career with the professional league, he also played for the New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and San Antonio Spurs. Additionally, Butler was close friends with his former Heat teammate, Lamar Odom, and even appeared on a few seasons of Khloe & Lamar.
Butler's wife was an R&B singer, who was signed to Epic Records/So So Def Recordings and appeared on the third season of American Idol. She placed 12th in the competition.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle," a tweet from the Miami Heat read. "Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to the family and many friends of Rasual and Leah. They will be missed."

Following the tragic news, friends, fans and former teammates of Butler took to Twitter and Instagram to send their condolences. See their reactions below:

Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry Speak Out Against GRAMMYs President Telling Women to 'Step Up'

Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry aren't having it.

The singers took to Twitter on Tuesday to speak out against GRAMMYs president Neil Portnow's recent comments defending the lack of female winners at this year's awards show. Portnow told reporters at the GRAMMYs that women "who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on the executive level -- [need] to step up, because I think they would be welcome."

"A confused soul said women need 2 'step up' their A-game if they wanna start winning & u know what I’m not even mad at ignorance," Clarkson wrote. "I’m just gonna kindly point u n the direction of my A-game album I recently dropped #MeaningOfLife #UrWelcome I Jenna Dewan’d that sh*t y’all #stepup."

Perry, meanwhile, shared Pink's powerful note on female musicians, calling her "another powerful woman, leading by example." "We ALL have a responsibility to call out the absurd lack of equality everywhere we see it. I'm proud of ALL the women making incredible art in the face of continual resistance. P.s VH1 Divas Live."

Portnow, who also received criticism from Charli XCX and Lorde , later
clarified his words in a statement to ET, confessing that he regrets not being "as articulate as I should have been."

"I was asked a question about the lack of female artist representation in certain categories of this year's GRAMMY Awards. Regrettably, I used two words, 'step up,' that, when taken out of context, do not convey my beliefs and the point I was trying to make," he said.

"Our industry must recognize that women who dream of careers in music face barriers that men have never faced. We must actively work to eliminate these barriers and encourage women to live their dreams and express their passion and creativity through music,"

Portnow continued. "We must welcome, mentor, and empower them. Our community will be richer for it."

"I regret that I wasn't as articulate as I should have been in conveying this thought," he concluded. "I remain committed to doing everything I can to make our music community a better, safer, and more representative place for everyone."

Charlie Walk Leaves 'The Four' Following Sexual Harassment Allegations

Charlie Walk is officially out of The Four .

The music producer and president of Republic Records Group released a statement about his departure from the singing competition show on Wednesday night amid sexual harassment allegations against him .

“Out of respect for the contestants, my fellow judges and everyone involved with the show, I have made the decision not to attend the finale of The Four, " Walk expressed in a statement given to ET by his attorney, Patricia Glaser. "I do not want my presence to be a distraction. Needless to say this is very upsetting. Although I continue to support the Me Too movement, there has been an extreme rush to judgment against me in this particular case which is unfair and inconsistent with anything that even actually happened. I welcome any investigation so that in short order these unfounded and hurtful accusations can be put to rest.”

Walk was accused by Life Lab founder Tristan Coopersmith of alleged sexual harassment while she worked for him in the past. In a statement to ET, Walk denied the allegations and said that there had never been a single HR claim against him during his career. On Wednesday, Republic Records told ET in a statement that Walk has been placed on leave.
Meanwhile, ET spoke with Coopersmith on Wednesday about her decision to go public with her sexual harassment allegation. Coopersmith claims Walk allegedly made "lewd comments" about her body, shared his sexual fantasies with her and inappropriately touched her. Coopersmith, who wrote that she was 27 years old at the time, also alleged that he once drunkenly pushed her onto his bed in his bedroom at his home.

"I didn't know how to deal with it," she shared. "I consider myself a kid back then. ... So, I mostly just laughed it off and I would try and correct him and, you know, like, 'Hey, Charlie. You have a wife, man. Come on.' You know? But I would sort of laugh it off, 'cause that's all I knew how to do."

Justin Timberlake's Birthday Just Keeps Getting Better as He Teases Third Song Off His New Album

Even though it's his birthday, Justin Timberlake keeps giving us gifts.

The birthday boy, who turned 37 on Wednesday, posted a trio of candid Instagram videos teasing three new songs off of his upcoming album, Man of the Woods .

The three posts stand as a sort of three-act play. The first was a tease of an unnamed song, which Timberlake previewed for fans as he got a haircut. In the vid, he grooves along to a dance beat, clearly having a fantastic day and reminding viewers that his newest album is named after his 2-year-old son, Silas.

"By the way, the album is named after my son, OK? His name means 'of the woods,' so stop telling me I'm making a country album," Timberlake says laughing. "I'm really feeling myself on my birthday right now."

I feel like @djkhaled right now!!! NEW SONG ALERT! Birthday vibes! Thanks everybody for the bday love!!! And the cut @nellichristine .

A few hours later, Timberlake posted a video of himself during his eight-hour rehearsal for Sunday's Super Bowl halftime performance, teasing the song "Montana." He spins around in a circle on the 50-yard line at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, dancing and lip syncing to a decidedly Bee Gees-like groove.

Bday rehearsals. Still feeling myself..? YES. This is a song called MONTANA. @pharrell
@chadhugo Man Of The Woods. 2/2

The "Filthy" singer wrapped up his night with a very animated third clip, whooping as he shares, "Whoo! The birthday celebration continues!"

Timberlake can be seen grooving to his new song, "Higher Higher," a soulful jam with the singer's trademark falsetto. "Still my bday!! I’m having too much fun! ⚠️More new music alert⚠️ This is a song called HIGHER HIGHER," he captioned the vid.

Still my bday!! I’m having too much fun! ⚠️More new music alert⚠️ This is a song called HIGHER HIGHER. @pharrell
@chadhugo Man Of The Woods. 2/2

Overall, not a bad day for the hard-working Timberlake.

He also got some high-profile "happy birthday" messages from folks like Jimmy Fallon and Ellen DeGeneres, whose wife, Portia de Rossi, shares the same birthday .

Happy Birthday @jtimberlake !!! Here’s to many more years of bro biking and Drip Drops! Love ya bro! #ManOfTheWoods

Happy birthday, @JTimberlake and @KerryWashington ! Did you know you share a birthday with Portia de Rossi? I knew there was a reason I liked you both. Ellen DeGeneres
@TheEllenShow

And, of course, there was a sweet message from Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel .

"Here's to a spectacular year ahead. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and all that is ahead for you. Plus, you're a super-hot dad. A ninja dad. A kiddie teeth brushing, Jedi sleep mind tricking, intimidating dad voice disciplining SUPER HOT DAD," Biel wrote on Instagram. "I love you, you hot dad. I'm here, right by your side, OG fan girl #1."

A picture says a thousand words. And thank goodness because there aren't enough to express ALL the aspects of my love and respect for you. Here's to a spectacular year ahead. I'm so proud of all you've accomplished and all that is ahead for you. plus you're a super hot dad. A ninja dad. A kiddie teeth brushing, Jedi sleep mind tricking, intimidating dad voice disciplining SUPER HOT DAD. I love you, you hot dad.. I'm here, right by your side, OG fan girl #1 . Happy birthday, my beloved. Now go crush it this weekend at SB LII.

Tessa Thompson Talks the Female Future of the Marvel Universe: 'The Women Rule Supreme'

When it comes to Time's Up and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tessa Thompson thinks "women rule supreme."

“I was so incredibly proud, because [harassment is] obviously something that affects all industries," the actress told ET about the support for Time's Up by artists at the GRAMMYs, saying that
the white rose tribute was handled "beautifully".

"I was so proud of my sis Janelle Monae and the way she spoke. The truth is yes, we come in peace but we mean business," Thompson continued. "And that's the thing that's been incredible for me. And being one of the many women joining forces - and I get to look across the room to see all these incredible women that mean business and have always meant it - but now culturally there is a time and space for them to take that ownership and that power and really create systemic change in this business and across the industry
@TessaThompson_x

ET's Nischelle Turner caught up with the Time's Up leader and Thor: Ragnarok star at the World Premiere of Marvel's Black Panther, where the 34-year-old was supporting her Creed co-star Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler. This film marks Jordan and Coogler's third collaboration, after 2013's Fruitvale Station and 2015's
Creed.

"You see them together, they're like long lost brothers,” Thompson explained about the close relationship between star and director.

“You know the things you can say to each other when you're family. When you can find that in a collaborator, it means you're always digging for the truth and you don't have to wade through mincing words. You can just be there with each other and say we can do better you know and I think that's them."

After the film, Thompson shared her praise for the superhero movie,
tweeting "BLACK PANTHER, my goodness," and sharing a photo of herself and the director from the red carpet, with the caption "All Hail King Coogler."

"I think with Creed - and I'm partial - but it really showed the emergence of such an important incredible filmmaker in the form of Ryan Coogler. So to get to see him take on this material, this epic material, is fantastic," she gushed.

According to Thompson, Black Panther is not only epic, but marks an "incredibly important" step forward in Hollywood.

“It's important for the culture. It's important to me. I think it's no mistake that folks like Snoop Dogg are here [at the premiere]," she shared.

"It’s important culturally to us that we get to see representation [for people of color], that we get to see ourselves reflected on screen in this way, but also it’s just primed to be a fantastic movie. It's good for all of us and I think the fact it's been the most pre-sold movie in Marvel history speaks to the fact that it's not just for us, it's for everybody.”

Thompson also noted the way Black Panther and Marvel are celebrating the women in their cinematic universe, including the recently green-lit Black Widow spinoff.

“In this film, there are all these incredible women in the form of Angela Bassett and Lupita [Nyong'o] and Danai [Gurira]," she continued. "We're going to see Brie Larson and her stand alone with Dewanda Wise, who is also here tonight, doing Captain Marvel. We'll see what happens with [her own character] Valkyrie next, but yeah, the women rule supreme; they always have. But I think we'll see in the next phase [of Marvel films] that really translate on screen in a real way."

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE ! An idea whose time has finally arrived !
#BLACKPANTHER . Still feeling inspired ... still feeling thankful ... still trying to put into words how Ryan’s film has me feeling . Y’all just get y’all garbs and tickets and be in those seats come FEB 16th ! I am so proud of all of my friends , tears of joy . Missing a few but here ya go .
