Stewie from “Family Guy” is getting his own spinoff series. It’s called “Stewie”, and it’s already received a two-season order. Seth MacFarlane is a co-creator and will return to voice Stewie. The show will follow Stewie as he enrolls in a new preschool where he and his miserable classmates use his devices to travel through space and time, turning quote, “every boring day into an insane and surreal adventure.” There’s also a 75-year-old class turtle who has a, quote, “half-cocked” theory on just about every subject. It’s expected to premiere during the 2027 – 2028 season.

Kelly Clarkson is undeniably one of the most successful contestants to ever win “American Idol”. But she says she never received the prizes she was promised on Season 1. Kelly shared this during a conversation with “Traitors” winner Rob Rausch (who still hasn’t been paid his winnings) and Daniel Radcliffe. She said, quote, “I literally was on the show, and they were like, ‘Oh, you win a $1 million’ or whatever. No, you didn’t. It was, like, a million dollars’ worth of investment in you. “And then they said you get a car, and I needed it ’cause my car was bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible. I did not get a car. And then Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car and his mom [also got a car]!” (You can watch the interview here. Go to 5:41 for the beginning of Kelly’s comments. And, to be fair, that “investment” in Kelly’s career paid off HUGE. So maybe that was the right way to get that million.)
Megan Moroney says she doesn’t hide anything in her music. Is this her confirming “Who Hurt You?” is about Riley Green? She says, quote, “Being sly about it has just gotten me uncomfortable in interviews. So I’m like, if you listen to the song and you still have questions, I don’t think you listened to the songs . . .”I’m just going to say exactly how I feel and how it went from my point of view.”And if Megan ever writes about you, she doesn’t care if you try to get revenge. Quote, “That’s none of my business. Free will is one hell of a job. You can do whatever you’d like to. I said my piece, and I’ve got nothing else to say.”(This is from a new interview courtesy of our friends Hawkeye and Michelle at New Country 96.3 in Texas. You can check that out here.) Speaking of revenge, Megan shared a story on “The Drew Barrymore Show”. She and an ex broke up before an album came out, so she had stamps of it put all over downtown Nashville where he worked, so he never forgets her.
Katy Perry has come up short in a legal battle against an Australian designer named . . . Katie Perry. Designer Katie spells her first name with an “i.e.” instead of a “y”, and 15 years ago, she got a cease-and-desist letter from Singer Katy, saying she couldn’t launch a fashion brand under her own name. But yesterday, the Australian High Court ruled that Designer Katie’s clothing line does NOT violate Singer Katy’s trademark. Designer Katie says, quote, “Without this hanging over my head, which is how it’s been really since 2009. Just a heaviness, and lots of fear, and limbo. “Now I can start really looking forward and focusing on the future. I’m really excited.”
(Here’s Designer Katie Perry celebrating her legal victory.)
Geo TV says Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have taken their relationship to the next level by introducing each other to their kids. A source says, “The only reason this turned into something real is because Justin has been so persistent. She wasn’t looking to date when they first hung out and she certainly wasn’t looking for a boyfriend.”
At the U.K. premiere of “Wuthering Heights”, Margot Robbie wore a bracelet made with the hair of Emily Bronte and her sister Anne. “Wuthering Heights” author Emily Brönte and her sister Anne died five months apart, in December 1848 and May 1849, respectively. I bet Margot was wearing a replica with her Manolo Blahnik heels… She looked spectacular….Upon the death of her siblings, Charlotte Brönte commissioned the original bracelet fashioned from their hair, woven together and intertwined for all eternity.
Lainey Wilson tells No Filter that she plans to start a family with her fiancé, “Duck” Hodges. “We definitely want to have a family. I think him and I both would be good parents and I’d love to see him be a dad. We’re gonna get married [first]. We’re gonna do the whole thing, and kids will be, you know, kids will be later. But we’re definitely gonna do it.”

Perez Hilton says Timothée Chalamet may have sabotaged his shot at an Oscar due to his arrogant behavior and public romance with Kylie Jenner. An Academy insider reveals, “I’ve been a member of the Academy for 12 years and I’ve never seen someone throw away their chances of winning as brazenly as Timothée. It’s not just a few people talking about it, most of the voters are hyper-aware of his antics which is never a good thing. You don’t want people talking about you during awards season for anything other than your performance. Nominees who are favored more tend to be more understated and Timothée is the opposite of that. He blew his chances for a few reasons. What at first seemed to be a genuine passion for the arts has rubbed people the wrong way and almost makes it as though he’s making a mockery of the arts. I’m sure that’s not his intention but that’s how it comes across. And then there’s Kylie [Jenner]. While I certainly would never place any blame on her, she’s done nothing wrong, it does shift the narrative when the leading Oscar nominee brings a Kardashian as their date. Many people have preconceived notions of what that means. It doesn’t matter if Kylie is polite and well-mannered, which I’ve heard she is. She seems lovely. But him being in that high-profile of a relationship paints him in a different light.”
RadarOnline.com says Kelly Clarkson is allegedly cashing in on music offers now that she is leaving her talk show. A close insider says, “Recording and performing her music life is a much more manageable and family-friendly pursuit. Kelly’s Las Vegas residency is now slated for July, which will let her perform without all the annoyances of touring. This is the right move for Kelly. But as with everything else, family is going to come first.”
The Star says Tom Cruise is allegedly struggling with loneliness after a series of failed relationships. A source reveals, “He’s so hyper-intense with the women he’s dating. The way he jumps into everything can be a turn-off. Tom’s the master of grand gestures, he loves to whisk women away in his private jet and treat them like princesses. Tom’s better at the big, grand gestures than he is at day-to-day intimacy. That’s his Achilles’ heel. He’s putting the bad run down to bad luck and trying to not let it get him down.”
