Omarosa Manigault Newman will be the next former insider to pull back the curtain on Donald Trump’s White House in what is sure to be a series of administration tell-alls.
The cutthroat “Apprentice” alum — who served as director of communications in the White House’s Office of Public Liaison before unceremoniously departing 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in December — will publish a memoir titled “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House.”
The tome will be released Aug. 14 and comes by way of the Simon & Schuster imprint Gallery Books, which has published memoirs from actresses Tiffany Haddish and Amy Schumer.

There’s just not enough Amy Poehler on television these days.
Sure, Poehler is busy hosting a competitive crafts series with Nick Offerman and executive producing a whole raft of projects. But it’s just not the same as the halcyon days of 2008, when we had her on TV (at least) once a week courtesy of “Saturday Night Live.”
What a relief, then, to catch her guest appearance on Wednesday’s edition of “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”

The truth is, an awful lot of people who meet me in the supermarket see me walking along, looking like an old bag with generic toilet tissue in my trolley, and they think, ‘She doesn’t look sexy at all — she must have a very good publicity agent.’

As Demi Lovato continues to recover from what sources said was a Tuesday overdose, the singer’s camp remained quiet in an attempt to protect her privacy. However, that wasn’t keeping outside sources from talking about what went down before and after the OD.
The L.A. hospital room housing Lovato is essentially “on lockdown,” a source told Us Weekly. There were two security guards outside Lovato’s door with strict instructions not to allow anyone inside who wasn’t approved by Lovato’s mom, Dianna De La Garza, the magazine reported.
“The entire floor is basically on lockdown with the rooms next to hers remaining vacant,” the source told the outlet.

A U.S. district judge has dismissed the copyright-infringement lawsuit brought against Guillermo Del Toro’s Oscar-winning film “The Shape of Water.”
Central District Judge Percy Anderson threw out the lawsuit on Monday, ordering that the plaintiff — the estate of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Zindel — “takes nothing,” according to a brief ruling obtained by The Times on Tuesday.
Anderson also ruled that “the action is dismissed with prejudice,” meaning that it has been dismissed permanently and cannot be brought back to court.
