Pete Davidson has joined the Transformers universe. The seventh movie in the franchise — “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” will hit theaters next summer. The next movie will introduce a new line of good guys called Maximals and bad guys called Terrorcons. Pete will voice a character called Mirage, one of the good guy Maximals who can turn into a zebra and also go invisible.

For the first time in 8 years, Prince William and Kate Middleton — can we call her a princess yet? — are coming to America! They’re scheduled to arrive in early December and according to Us Weekly, their schedule will be jam-packed. This go-round, the Royals’ trip will be more “work focused” as opposed to their 2014 trip, when they went to an NBA game and met up with Beyonce and had themselves a lot of fun. A source told Us Weekly, William and Kate are “hoping to boost their royal profile across the pond.” For instance, one of their appearances will be at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in Boston. They’ll be doing a lot more serious stuff, but the source said they’ll also take some time to enjoy the build-up to Christmas in NYC. The source said Prince William is dying to go ice-skating at Rockefeller Center.

The Daily Mail reported a very scary incident on the set of The CW’s new show “Magic With the Stars,” which premieres Oct. 22. The show features different celebrities training with world famous magician Criss Angel to create magical performances. Ginuwine was working on a stunt with Criss where he’s supposed to hold his breath for a really long time while submerged in a giant glass cube filled with water. A source told the Daily Mail that Ginuwine wanted to do this stunt to overcome his fear of being under water. Video footage of the rehearsal shows Ginuwine slamming the sides of the cube in panic before staff pulled him out. While they were trying to calm him down, Ginuwine passed out cold. He was unconscious still when the ambulance took him to the hospital, but he reportedly recovered just fine. But despite failing in rehearsals, the source said Ginuwine went back in that tank and completed the stunt for the show and everyone was left in tears.

Yesterday, it was reported that Brandy was rushed to the hospital after possibly suffering a seizure at her home. Later in the day, she posted on her IG Story “To my beloved fam, friends, and starz thank you for sending love and light my way. I am following doctors’ orders and getting the rest I need due to dehydration and low amounts of nutrition. Thank you for your prayers and support. Grateful for you all, see you soon.” Where will we see Brandy next? According to Variety, Brandy will star in the upcoming A24 thriller “The Front Room,” which is about “a young, newly pregnant couple forced to take in their has long been estranged from the family.”

So I finally found out what Offset gave Cardi B for her 30th birthday on Tuesday! In addition to filling their house with red roses and candles, Offset gave her a rare Richard Mille watch. I don’t know how much this one cost, but reportedly, the Richard Mille watch they gave their daughter Kulture for her 4th birthday in July was worth half a million. Cardi’s burlesque-themed party was held at the Poppy Nightclub in LA with celebrity friends like Chance the Rapper and Chloe & Halle Bailey there to celebrate. One celebrity who didn’t get in was Jamie Foxx! TMZ cameras were there when Jamie rolled up in one of the nicest SUVs you’ve ever seen, got out, took off his perfect white designer sneakers, opened the trunk and pulled out a brand new pair of the exact same sneakers and put them on. Jamie walked up to the door of the club where a bouncer told him they were full and couldn’t make room for his group of about 10 people. TMZ’s cameras followed Jamie back to his SUV as another bouncer came running up and tried to get Jamie to come back, but he said absolutely not.
