Gwen Stefani Has a "Makeout Playlist"
Last night on The Voice, co-stars Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton joked back and forth about Stefani's "makeout playlist." The convo was kickstarted by a contestant who chose to sing "I Want to Know What Love Is" from Foreigner. If you're a 70s child or 80s baby... that song was definitely on your makeout list, right?
“You took a song that’s actually on my makeout playlist.”
Stefani's boyfriend, Blake Shelton, took her admission as an opportunity to say "I told you I knew that song!" The two Voice coaches have been dating since November 2015.

The Bachelor: Fantasy Suites and Who's Heading to Paradise?
What is UP with the Fantasy Suites?
Tonight we'll find out how Nick Viall's night with Raven went and whether or not his remaining dates Rachel and Vanessa will choose to "forego their individual rooms and stay as a couple in a fantasy suite." It all comes to a head tonight on a brand new episode of The Bachelor.
Former Bachelor contenders Ali Fedotowsky and Chris Soules spoke to Entertainment Tonight about Fantasy Suites and what really goes on behind closed doors. Both confirm the dates are spaced out by one full day and night, saying it is possible for Nick to literally sleep with all three women in the same week. Ali says "most do sleep with the people in the fantasy suites."
Soules is a litte more reserved with his response, saying:
“I honestly don’t know... that wasn’t the most important thing to me, it really wasn’t… I don’t ask people either. I don’t want to be asked to talk about it; it’s not anybody’s business… Most would assume but I also know what I went through and I know that just wasn’t a priority – it was the furthest thing from it.”
The former stars confirmed that condoms are supplied, along with lube and "other stuff." They also both stated that all contestants are tested for STDs/STIs during the casting process. Romantic.
SPEAKING OF SEXY TIME... Who from Season 21 of the Bachelor will pop up on this season of Bachelor in Paradise?
Bachelor in Paradise, ABC, 2015
- Alexis Waters (the dolphin girl from Jersey) says she's ready to go and really wants to meet Chad Johnson (barf).
- Danielle Matlby (the neonatal nurse from Nashville) has expressed interest in BaP but says she doesn't know how much more time off she can take from the hospital. She also says she'd love to get to know Chris Soules and Chase McNary Brody if she gets the chance.
- Kristina Schulman (dental hygienist from Kentucky/Russia) is open to the idea but doesn't have high expectations.
A surprising hold out? Corrine Olympios (business owner from Miami). She says it's too early to tell whether or not she'll be travelling to Mexico with former castaways from Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons passed. She doesn't want to "jump the gun."
Danny Masterson, Louis Tomlinson in Trouble With the Law
Danny Masterson, who played Hyde on That 70s Show, is facing allegations of sexual abuse dating back to the early 2000s.
Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder, HELLO Magazine, 2015
The first complaint concerns something that happened to a woman Masterson was in an intimate relationship with sixteen years ago. The second, dates back fourteen years and involves a second victim. Both women were involved with Scientology at the time. Masterson is still an active member of the church.
Masterson's reps have responded to the allegations by saying they believe all claims to be a publicity stunt for "Leah Remini's anti-Scientology television series" as the first victim only came forward with the abuse claims following a meet up with Remini.
The LAPD are investigating. No charges have been filed at this time.

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson could face serious criminal charges following Fridays airport brawl.
Tomlinson was arrested Friday evening at LAX for fighting with a photographer. The photog was getting too close to Louis and his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder so Tomlinson took him down. Calder then got physical with a bystander who decided to record the altercation on video, including footage of Calder attempting to flee the scene.
Both Calder and Tomlinson were placed under citizen's arrest by the photographer and female bystander. The LAPD later made an official arrest on Louis citing simple battery. He paid 20 thousand dollars to get out of jail a few hours after the ordeal. No word on whether or not any further charges will come down on Louis or his girlfriend. Video evidence does place the blame on Tomlinson, according to law enforcement who spoke with TMZ.
