Hey HollywoodLife.com readers, thank you so much for a fantastic seven and a half years with you since we first launched. We’ve had the best time reporting and writing and  doing videos and then talking to you. Now, check out our brand new, streamlined look and let us know what you think.

Donald Trump and Paul Ryan are clapping and cheering for themselves right now in the White House Rose Garden. They are thrilled that they have just taken health coverage away from millions of Americans and jacked up their insurance rates… that could include you! Fight back!

CNN contributor Van Jones isn’t a man to mince words. After Donald Trump flabbergasted the country when he was elected president, Jones called his win a ‘whitelash.’ So, what does he think now, after Trump’s first 60 days in office? HollywoodLife.com got answers in an EXCLUSIVE interview.

You may know Russell Hornsby as Detective Hank Griffin in the hit NBC series ‘Grimm,’ but if you haven’t seen him yet in ‘Fences,’ then it’s time to hit the theater and catch his fabulous performance. Here, he answers 5 key questions about the thought-provoking film and his role.

It’s been three and a half years since two pressure cooker bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Now, ‘Patriots Day’ takes you back and throw you right into the day of the shocking attack and the dramatic hunt for the killers. You won’t want to miss it.

The Supreme Court made a huge landmark decision today, reaffirming the right to choose for women all over America. Thank the Lord! Here’s why.
When the Supreme Court ruled this morning in a 5-3 decision to toss out highly demanding legal restrictions on abortion clinics in Texas, it saved a woman’s constitutional right to choose. That’s because when Texas enacted laws that required all abortion clinics to meet the same structural standards as hospitals, and insisted that all abortion doctors get “admitting privileges” at a local hospital – they virtually ensured that almost all the state’s clinics would close.

President Obama insists that we have to stop making it so easy for high-powered military firearms to get into virtually anyone’s hands. And he’s so right. No parents should have to get a text from their child, who is about to be massacred.
Eddie Justice was out having fun at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night, June 11. He simply wanted to relax and dance with his friends. He could never have imagined as he got ready to go out that evening, like millions of young people all over America do every Saturday, that he would be slaughtered, hours later. And slaughtered simply because he was in a gay nightclub and his murderer hated gay people.

Ladies, here are your new role models. Robin Wright, star of the Netflix hit ‘House of Cards’, fought hard and won equal pay for her work. Now, the US women’s soccer team is lobbying for pay parity with the men’s team.
Just f*cking do it! That’s what the US women’s soccer team members Hope Solo, Becky Sauerbrunn and Ali Krieger demanded on The Daily Show on May 4. And what they were asking for was to be paid the same salaries and bonuses as the US men’s soccer team.

You know that ‘Sister Wives’ is having a genuinely emotional moment when even my husband, Michael, starts to bawl during the episode. So did the judge approve Kody’s long hoped-for adoption of Robyn’s children: Aurora, Breanna and Dayton?
You have to applaud Kody Brown’s first wife Meri for the gut-wrenching sacrifice of offering to legally divorce her husband. Her divorce cleared the way for Kody to tie the knot with fourth wife, Robyn, in more than just a spiritual sense. That meant that he could formally begin the process of adopting Robyn’s three children from her first marriage. Sadly, Robyn’s first husband rarely saw the children and paid nothing for their support.

Poor Robyn Brown! She’s been putting off having Kody’s baby #18 for years, and now that she’s expecting, she’s wracked with fears that some family members will give her pregnancy news an icy reception.
Being a sister wife is complicated, and Robyn Brown goes public with one more of the difficulties of sharing her husband Kody Brown , on the latest episode of Sister Wives. Just when she’s made Kody soo happy by getting pregnant with their second child together, she feels sick inside (and no, not from morning sickness) but because she needs to break the baby news to the rest of Kody’s wives and the other 17 kids in the family.

‘K.C. Undercover’ star Zendaya does not hold grudges. The Disney star, who was famously dissed by ‘Fashion Police’ host Giuliana Rancic, is too positive and WAY too busy for that. But she did reveal what she hopes will happen next to the infamous E! show. Click here to download the podcast and listen for free!
You would think that Zendaya, 18, would have been in a panic when she stopped by the HollywoodLife.com podcast studio on April 21 — she was about to host the 8th annual Radio Disney Music Awards on April 25, on top of shooting 29 episodes of K.C. Undercover.
