Meghan McCain joins The View… Hugh Hefner passed away… Will Justin Timberlake do the halftime show… Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani try for a baby… and Rob Kardashian suing Blac Chyna for alleged assault

Jedidiah Bila checked out at The View, leaving a panel of nothing but liberal hostesses. So to provide the lone conservative voice on the show, ABC has hired Meghan McCain. But she hates President Trump as much as the other ladies on the show do, so I don’t know that she’ll put up much of a fight…

Hugh Hefner passed away peacefully at his home in the Playboy Mansion yesterday. He was 91. Hugh will be buried in the same mausoleum as Marilyn Monroe — the first woman to ever grace the cover of Playboy magazine. In fact, Hugh loved Marilyn so much that 25 years ago, he paid $75K for the crypt right next to hers.

Sources say Justin Timberlake is in the final talks to be the halftime performer at Super Bowl LII (52) on February 4 in Minneapolis. If this is true, this would be the first time Justin is invited back since 2004, when he performed with Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII (38) in Houston. At the end of “Rock Your Body,” Justin ripped off part of Janet’s top and we all got to see her pierced nipple. That led the FCC to instill a 5-second delay during all live performances.

In Touch magazine is reporting that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are going to keep trying for a baby after their first round of IVF didn’t result in a pregnancy. Their sources say it was really tough on the couple because Gwen had taken a home pregnancy test which showed she was pregnant, but then the doctor told them she wasn’t. Gwen has three sons with her previous husband, Gavin Rossdale. Blake has no children. Sources told In Touch that they’re both still optimistic and they’ll give IVF another try.

Blac Chyna may sue Rob Kardashian for revenge porn, but he’s decided to sue her for assault and battery! And Rob’s baby sister Kylie Jenner is suing her, too!! According to the lawsuit, last December, Rob claims Chyna consumed a bunch of drugs and alcohol and ended up attacking him. He says she tried to strangle him with an iPhone cord and beat him about the head and face. The lawsuit claims Chyna called a couple of his friends on FaceTime and was “carelessly playing with Rob’s gun, unaware if if the gun was loaded or if the safety was on.” Rob says Chyna also trashed the house, which he was renting from Kylie. So Kylie’s suing for what she says were over $100K in damages. According to The Blast, Rob never called the police because he was still in love with Chyna at the time and didn’t want to see the mother of his child arrested. The lawsuit slams Chyna, claiming her relationship and baby with Rob were “nothing short of an outright fraud to shake down the Kardashian family without any concern about the consequences.”
