In movie and streaming news, a JoJo Siwa docuseries is coming to Facebook Watch. “JoJo Goes” will follow JoJo and some of her celebrity friends going on some “crazy fun adventures she’s always wanted to experience but never got the chance.” Look for that this summer. The Armie Hammer scandal will be the subject of a true-crime special for ID and Discovery+ called “House of Hammer.” The series will explore the sordid past of five generations of Armie’s family, exposing “a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting all the devastating consequences of privilege gone wild.” “Hocus Pocus 2” will hit Disney+ on Sept. 30. The rough-cut footage showed two young girls lighting the Black Flame Candle, which summons the central witches. Bette Midler squeals, “Lock up your children! Yes, Salem, we’re back!” And it was just revealed that Scott Eastwood is appearing in “Fast X” – the tenth of the “Fast and Furious” movies, which is now filming in London. Alan Ritchson, who who stars in the Amazon series “Reacher,” joined the production last week as one of the villains.

The man who attacked Dave Chappelle a few weeks ago is facing more serious charges. No, not for his attack on Dave. The LA County DA only charged Isaiah Lee with 4 misdemeanors for that. This is for an entirely separate incident from back in December. Isaiah Lee is charged with the attempted murder of his roommate at a transitional housing apartment. The man went to the police but wasn’t able to identify his attacker until he saw him on the news tackling Dave. Isaiah has pleaded not guilty.

Doja Cat revealed that she had to have surgery on her left tonsil and that more bad news may be coming soon. She explained that her tonsils got infected right before the Billboard Music Awards, so she was put on antibiotics. However, with all that was going on, she forgot she was on antibiotics and was non-stop drinking wine and vaping. That led to a nasty growth on her tonsil that required surgery. Doja then went into all the gross details, which I will not being going into here. Is the bad news Doja is hinting at that she’ll have to quit her upcoming tour opening for The Weeknd? It may depend on how her throat heals.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were legally married on the courthouse steps in Santa Barbara this past Sunday, and it looks like they’re having their big Italian ceremony this weekend in Portofino. TMZ reported that four days of celebration have been planned at the Castello Brown castle, which sits at the top of a hill overlooking the famous Portofino harbor. TMZ says all of Kourtney’s kids and family will be there, minus Rob. Travis’ family and his band members will be there, too. But TMZ says Scott Disick is “absolutely not invited.”

Congratulations to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky on the birth of their son! A source told Entertainment Tonight that the baby was born on Friday, May 13, and that Rihanna and A$AP haven’t left each other’s side since. The source also added, “This little boy is going to have the best baby fashion.” Duh. No word yet on the name. And congratulations are also in order for Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn. Ed announced yesterday that they’ve welcomed another daughter into their family. Unlike last time, he stopped short of announcing her name. Big sister Lyra Antarctica will be 2 in August.
