“Bachelor in Paradise” contestants… Bill Cosby on the road… Bella Hadid hooking up with Drake… Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have hired a surrogate… and Johnny Depp asks about assassinating the president

With “Bachelor in Paradise” back in production, DeMario Jackson has decided to take a pass on returning. The whole scandal involving him and Corinne Olympios in the swimming pool was just too much. He’s trying to put it behind him. Of course, Corinne can’t return because she’s still hoping to file a lawsuit and get paid. But many of the contestants who were sent home while the pool situation was investigated are returning, including Robby Hayes, Amanda Stanton, Lacey Mark, Raven Gates, etc….I would name them all but I don’t even know who I’m talking about. But ABC reportedly is interviewing other former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants to come be contestants for what will now most likely be the show’s most-watched season.

Bill Cosby just wants to help. Thanks to his mistrial, he’s off the hook for sexual assault for now. So Bill is going back out on the road. Instead of doing a comedy tour, Bill is planning a series of town hall meetings to educate people about sexual assault. According to his spokespeople, Bill hopes to teach married men and young people — especially young athletes — how to look out for warning signs from potential victims and how to handle any accusations that could follow. The tour kicks off next month and stops are already planned for Birmingham, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia.

Bella Hadid may have been blindsided by The Weeknd’s romance with her friend, Selena Gomez, but she’s reportedly getting even by hooking up with his friend, Drake. Earlier this week, Bella was one of the guests at Drake’s private party at Mr. Nice Guy. They tried to fool paparazzi by leaving separately at 4am, but they hooked up around the block and took off in the same car. The Weeknd and Drake go way back. They worked together on music in Canada before The Weeknd made it big in the States.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have hired a surrogate to carry their third baby, and RadarOnline.com is reporting that they are sparing no expense to pamper this woman until their baby arrives. Their source says Kimye are putting the surrogate up in a luxury resort where she will be treated like a queen for her entire pregnancy. She gets a private chef and a 24-hour security team so she’ll be well-fed and super protected.

Johnny Depp is in hot water after a comment he made at a film festival in England. After telling the audience that he thinks President Trump needs help, he asked, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” Some cheered. Some booed. But then Johnny followed that up with, “It’s just a question. I’m not insinuating anything. By the way, this is going to be in the press. It will be horrible. I like that you are all a part of it.”
