Prep yourselves Gladiators!!! Portia de Rossi is heading to Scandal for a top secret story arc. Portia’s wife, Ellen DeGeneres, broke the news via Twitter.

“So annoying when people brag on twitter & that’s why I’m not tweeting that Portia just signed on to do a top secret arc on “Scandal”. Oops.” – Ellen DeGeneres

If her role is half as good as Lisa Kudrow’s guest appearance last year, I’ll be one happy camper. Too bad Kudrow didn’t stay a little longer.

Fans have been waiting for this moment since Colton Haynes joined the show. Finally during the show’s third season, Haynes will make his debut as Arsenal. Entertainment weekly snagged their hands of Haynes wearing the costume which will make its debut during the Season 3 premiere of Arrow.

In the DC Comics Universe, Harper first appeared as Speedy, Green Arrow’s teenage sidekick. 50 years after making his debut, the modern-day version was an early member of the Teen Titans who later assumed the identity Arsenal. Check it out Haynes in full Arsenal attire below.

It’s hard to believe it’s never happened previously. For the first time in his storied career, Weird Al Yankovic has scored a number one album on the Billboard Top 200, by moving 104,000 copies of Mandatory Fun during its first week.

It looks like all that hard work promoting his fourteenth studio album paid off. The 54-year-old released a new music video every day since last Monday- eight in total. If you missed any of them, I’ve posted them all below. Congrats to Weird Al for this career milestone.

“It’s kinda blowing up,” says the 54-year-old comedian. “The response has surprised even me. I really like the videos and thought they’d have a big impact, but this has been beyond my wildest expectations. This is the most attention that has ever been focused on me probably ever. I’m quite overwhelmed by it all.”

Naya Rivera broke off her engagement to Big Sean about three months ago. She’s rebounded and quite quickly at that. Over the weekend, the Glee actress married Ryan Dorsey in an intimate wedding in Mexico. Their relationship was just made public last week while on vacation. Reportedly, they have been friends for four years but only recently took things to a romantic level.

“We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife,” the couple said in a statement. “Our special day was fated and everything we could have ever asked for.”

Who is Dorsey? The 27-year-old hails from Charleston, West Virginia. He attended the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts before moving to Los Angeles. His acting credits include guest-starring roles on Southland and Parks and Recreation. He recently wrapped filming on his upcoming big-screen debut in Blood Father, opposite Mel Gibson and William H. Macy. Check out pics of the stud below.

Earlier today, Hilary Duff revealed “Chasing The Sun” will hit stores on Tuesday, July 29. A couple of hours later, the 26-year-old shared a snippet of her comeback track via Instagram.

Her forthcoming fifth studio album will mark Duff’s return to the music industry after a seven year hiatus. Welcome back, Duff. The summery single comes courtesy of Colbie Caillat who co co-wrote it along with Jason Reeves and Toby Gad.

I took a break from music for quite awhile, but it gave me the power to choose my next steps carefully and I’m really proud of the album I’ve made,” Duff says in the press release. “‘Chasing The Sun’ is a light and fun summer song that I hope helps people to feel a little more carefree.”

In addition to returning to the recording studio, Hilary is heading back to the small screen as well. She’s currently filming Darren Star’s new series Younger. Tony-winning actress Sutton Foster stars in the series set to premiere this Fall on TV Land. Check out a teaser of “Chasing The Sun” below.

It appears Fifth Harmony has a hit on their hands. Since they released “Bo$$” it’s been climbing the Billboard Hot 100. It currently sits just outside the Top 40, easily becoming the girl group’s biggest hit to date. It definitely has potential to become even bigger.

Naturally, the girls are in overdrive promoting their scorching girl power anthem. They recently stopped by Billboard to perform to it, along with a new ballad titled “We Know.” Not surprisingly, 5H slays it. I almost prefer the stripped-down version of “Bo$$.” Normani Hamilton has really come into her own with this track. I used to think Camilla was the star, but Normani is giving her a run for her money. Check out both performances below.

In a previously released clip, both Peeta Mallark (Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) stood quietly alongside President Snow (Donald Sutherland) as he addressed the people of Panem. Dressed in white once again, Peeta and Johanna appear in their very own motion poster. Each stands stoically while they rotate around for a very striking yet haunting image. Check them both out below.

Once again, Pharrell Williams enlists a bevy of women for his music video. This time around though, Miley Cyrus joins in on the fun and mean mugs for the camera. Gone though is Williams’ polarizing Arbys-looking chapeau. I’m sure plenty of you will be ecstatic about that.

While there is a nice diverse mix of women, sadly there are no women past a certain age featured. Definitely strange given that the video begins with “Beauty Has No Expiration Date.” A tad contradictory, no? I will say though, the lively choreography executed by the women is a fun watch. Check out the clip for “Come Get It Bae” below.
