Demi Lovato has revealed that she will join the upcoming season of Will & Grace, posting a photo of herself reading a script on the NBC show's set.

The 27-year-old pop star revealed the news to her Instagram fans on Tuesday, captioning the image; "Will & Grace & Demi  @nbcwillandgrace #WillandGrace."

Many of us will remember Demi as a former Disney Channel star, acting as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2 alongside the Jonas Brothers.

The network revealed exclusively to Us Weekly that the Cool for the Summer singer will appear in three episodes during the upcoming and final season of the reboot.

The publication reports that she has accepted the role of Jenny, a "guarded woman who comes into the life of Will (Eric McCormack) in an unexpected way."

The reboot is set to air in 2020, with McCormack tweeting his excitement at the prospect of acting alongside the star;

"First shot with Ms Demi Lovato! #WillandGrace," the 56-year-old actor tweeted.

This will be Demi's first on-screen appearance since the 2016 show From Dusk til Dawn: The Series. Lovato also voiced a character in 2018's animated film Charming.

She is also apparently filming a new comedy for Netflix with Will Ferrell, Eurovision, and is gearing up to release a new album where she will tell her personal truth.

The singer said to her followers in June on her Instagram Story;

“You know what’s great about making an album? You get to say anything you want, be as open and honest as possible and finally tell your side of the story regardless of who might not like it.”

It'll be the Skyscraper singer's first music release since suffering a near-fatal overdose last year and attending rehabilitation facilities.

"You're not Cheddar…You're just some common b*tch"- Captain Raymond Holt.

We're absolutely devastated to hear about the death of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's most notorious Corgie, Cheddar.

The announcement of Stewart's passing, the adorable doggo who played the role, was made on Instagram by his real life owners.

At least the beloved pet had an idyllic final day, after being brought to the beach to "frolic in the surf" and treated to an In & Out Burger for his last meal.

The hound was then peacefully put to sleep, and is survived by his talented sister Corgi Stella, who has since taken over the hilarious TV role in his place.

Cheddar had a fairly dominant role in the television comedy series, with entire episodes dedicated to his adventures airing. Remember when Jake and Amy lost him?

He also played a vital role in the Halloween heist episodes, aiding Holt in his mission to secure the prize on multiple occasions.

Raymond Holt adored Cheddar with all his heart, and as a result, we fell in love with the hilarious doggie. Cheddar (and Stewart) became a key asset in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine family.

Let's all watch the memorial reel dedicated to his wanderings and greatest scenes, and grab the tissues before we turn into puddles of tears:

Thank the Netflix Gods, AT LAST we have a UK release date for season five of the hit comedy cop show.

Set a countdown gals, because B99 officially hits streaming screens on MARCH EIGHTH. Cool cool cool, no doubt, no doubt.

In a rogue move, Netflix actually allowed a superfan named Darcy to announce the news via Twitter, having asked the streaming service basically every day for months for an update.

Netflix commented; “Darcy has been asking when b99 s5 is coming basically every day for the last few months, so we decided to let her give you the good news…” Utter gents.

Her excited tweet reads; 

“Clear your schedule because Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5 is coming to @NetflixUK on March 8th! very noice!” Very noice indeed. Some would say… toit *winks*

We absolutely CANNOT WAIT to see more Jake Peralta and co. on our screens, the hilarious show is airing season six tonight on NBC, so we're guaranteed more episodes.

The show is making a miraculous comeback after original broadcaster and now arch-nemesis Fox cancelled it earlier this year, citing a lack of schedule availability.

This was a pretty accurate depiction of our reaction to the news;

However, the network failed to account for how die-hard (geddit?) the fanbase are, with thousands of fans expressing online outrage and campaigning for its return.

Streaming services Netflix and Hulu were all considering renewing the show, but soon enough NBC took up the mantle and saved all of our lives. 

99 FOR LIFE. Terry loves release dates. And yoghurt, never forget the yoghurt.

Broadway is about to get a whole lot more romantic; it's been announced that The Notebook, AKA the most heart-string tugging film/novel of all time, is coming to the stage as a musical.

Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson shared the news on NBC's Today Show yesterday, and revealed that she has been developing the musical for over a year.

The 2004 movie starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, and sparked a real-life love story between the pair as well as love blossoming on-screen.

The original novel was published in 1996 and shot Sparks to fame.

A producer on the NBC family drama This Is Us is writing the show, Bekah Brunstetter, and it will be a collaboration between her and Nicholas Sparks; the novel's original author.

The writer posted his delight on Twitter, saying that he is "thrilled" to be part of the team who will adapt the story to the stage.

The story follows a young couple in the 1940s who fall hopelessly and passionately in love, but are forced to part ways after turbulence between her family and Gosling's character.

They later reconnect, and the tale flicks between the 20th century and modern day, where the protagonist chronicles how time has impacted their lives in a tragic way.

Despite mediocre initial film reviews, the movie became a smash hit which has remained iconic in the romantic-drama genre.

Gosling and McAdams were relatively unknown at the time of filming, but their chemistry was undeniably. The pair met on set, and dated from 2005 until 2007, and again in 2008 before splitting up for good.

Chrissy Teigen has recently found herself at the eye of a storm of controversy due to old tweets getting dug up from the dead, and 2019 doesn't look great either for her.

The social media star was celebrating New Year's Eve in Times Square on Monday night, and between the rain and bitterly cold temperatures, it wasn't a glorious occasion.

After counting down the annual ball drop alongside Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones, the former supermodel goes in for a hug and ends up with an umbrella in the eyeball.

NBC's special broadcast was on live television, so naturally the clip went viral on Twitter pretty damn quick. 

She joked; "I'm okay!" after writing: "7am. Heading back out to Times Square to find my eyeball." Ouchie.

The SNL star was hugely apologetic over Twitter (and in person, we assume) and posted to her own account:

The actress commented;

"I can't believe I hit Chrissy Teigen in the face!! Lord!! I love you boo!! So sorry!!"

It wasn't either of their finest New Year's Eve moments, but it was HILARIOUS and we're grateful for the comedic content on our Twitter feeds.

Happy 2019 gals, has anyone else's year started off with a similarly embarrassing/painful moment?

Ariana Grande's former fiancé and SNL star Pete Davidson has spoken out for the first time about his controversial break-up with the singer.

Davidson co-hosted the comedy night Judd & Pete for America alongside Judd Apatow to benefit the political group Swing Left, which was his first public appearance since his split from his girlfriend of five months.

Describing the ending to his whirlwind romance to the Sweetener artist, he told the crowd: “F**k my feelings,” before saying to fans that he feels like a “good guy that just keeps getting kicked in the d**k.”

“Well, as you could tell, I don’t want to be here. There’s a lot going on,” Davidson joked during his set. “Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?"

He also mentioned covering up his tattoos of his former fiancé, which is not the first time he has had to alter his body art to reflect his break-ups.

“I’ve been covering a bunch of tattoos, that’s fun,” Davidson quipped, "I’m fucking 0 for 2 in the tattoo department. I’m afraid to get my mom tattooed on me, that’s how bad it is."

“So, obviously you know I, we broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos,” Davidson continued. “And it was like in a magazine like, ‘Was Pete Davidson stupid?’ And 93 percent of it said yes.

“So my boy, he was like, ‘Don’t listen to that shit man. They’re literally fucking haters.’ And I’m like, yeah, fuck that. I’m not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'”

Grande has removed herself from many of her social media sites, except Instagram, and has returned her $100,000 engagement ring to Davidson.

In today's Instagram story between pictures of her shoes and dogs, the singer uploaded a note referencing self-love: "Protect your peace, get rid of toxicity, cleanse your space, cultivate love," it said.

She was recently devastated by the death of her former partner, Mac Miller, of an overdose at the age of 26. Reports are claiming that her break-up with Davidson was possibly a result of this tragic loss.

So, earlier this year it was revealed that one of our favourite sitcoms was making a comeback – and now, new details about the much anticipated Will and Grace revival have been revealed.

Fans of the series may remember the 2006 finale which took a glance into the future, revealing that Will and Grace has gone their separate ways, each finding partners and starting families of their own.

With such a definitive ending, the idea of a revival seemed like an all but impossible dream – until now.

Writers of the shows's upcoming 12-episode revival have decided to completely dismiss the events of the final episode and continue as if it never went to air.

According to Entertainment Weekly, when Will and Grace returns in September, the main characters will still be single, childless, and living in their New York City apartment.

Oh, and Jack will still be living across the hall, and Karen will still reside in luxury Fifth Avenue mansion.

“We spent most of our time trying to figure out what would be the way to make the show the best version of itself coming back after 11 years,” says executive producer/creator, Max Mutchnick.

“That finale really caused us a lot of grief. You write a finale because a show is over. You never think that it’s coming back again.”

“When the decision was made to bring the series back, we were like, well, we left them with kids, right?” added executive producer/creator David Kohan.

“We frankly did not want to see them being either good parents or bad parents. We wanted them to be Will and Grace.”

We couldn't be happier about the decision to leave the characters exactly how there were, because honestly, we can't imagine them any other way.

Will and Grace is set to return to it's home on NBC on September 28, but until then, you'll find us binge watching the first eight seasons.

Let's be honest, when it comes to politicians (both here and across the pond), few possess the same charm and charisma as Barack Obama.

And while it's hard to emulate Barack's aura, the vast majority of politicians have, at the very least, something which helps them stand out from the crowd… right?

And in the case of former Labour leader, Ed Miliband, it's his uncanny ability to personify the common cold.

Resigned to little more than a stock image at the weekend, poor ol' Ed saw his head plastered across an American news station who decided to use his image – along with a variety of other stock images – to highlight the perils associated with flu season.

And Twitter is unsurprisingly having a field day.

Racy, sexy and hilarious; Cruel Intentions is everything we would want from a television series. 

And lucky for us, the cult classic is officially being re-imagined as a TV show. 

YAS.

The now iconic film, which catapulted Reese Witherspoon's career into the stratosphere as well as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillipe, has been picked up by top US television network NBC

The series will work as a sequel to the successful film, which will take place 15 years after the events of the original. 

While the film is essentially a teen rom-com, it definitely had darkly comic undertones. The plot followed a wealthy step-brother and sister's wager to take the virginity of the daughter of the headmaster of their elite New York prep school.

The new series will revolve around the daughter of Sebastian and Annette and the dark plots still orchestrated by Kathryn. 

"Follows the beautiful and cunning Kathryn Merteuil as she vies for control of Valmont International as well as the soul of Bash Casey, the son of her brother, who was the late Sebastian Valmont, and Annette Hargrove," reads a synopsis of the plot.

"Upon discovering his late father’s legacy in a hidden journal, Bash is introduced to a world of sex, money, power and corruption he never could have imagined."

While many fans would love to see the actors from the first film reprise there roles, there is no suggestion that any of the original cast is involved in the project.

So, it might not be the reunion we were all hoping for, but still, seeing the gang all together again is giving us serious chills.

Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, Courteney Coz and David Schwimer all came together yesterday for the taping of NBC's upcoming special, Must See TV: A Tribute to James Burrow.

And thanks to The Big Bang's Kaley Cuoco, we got a little sneak peek into what went down last night.

The picture isn't just the cast of Friends though (minus Matthew Perry), but some of The Big Bang's stars joined in too.

And in another photo op, a few Will & Grace favourites were at the party too, making our hearts flutter as we remember the good times on TV.

Does this mean there's going to be crossover episodes in the future?! Probably not, but girls can dream.

Friends fans (i.e. the majority of the world's population) got a huge surprise this week when it was revealed the cast would be reuniting.

Plans for a once-off TV special, organised by NBC in honour of sitcom director James Burrows, were said to feature an appearance from everyone' favourite New Yorkers, back together for one last time.

However before we even got an inkling of what form the reunion would take – A brand new episode?! A flashback?! A look to the future?! – our hopes were already shot down by none other than Matthew Perry.

According to a statement from his rep, Matthew is due to be in the UK at the time of the TV special and so won't be featuring. Meaning that whatever happens, we'll only get to see five sixths of the legendary cast.

"Regarding Matthew Perry and the James Burrows tribute, Matthew will not be attending, as he is in London in rehearsals for his play," the actor's rep Lisa Kastelar told Us Weekly last night.

"NBC executives were aware of this prior to their TCA announcement yesterday. Matthew may tape something for the tribute. In other words, this is not the reunion people have been hoping for."

Ouch. Way to ruin our hopes, Lisa.

Of course, NBC had warned that there might be some issues getting the cast together, saying that "logistically" it might not work.

We have our fingers crossed for a miracle, however.

OK, let's try not to freak out and totally fan-girl but the news is true, there will be a FULL Friends reunion soon.

NBC has confirmed that Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer will all take part in a special show to honour sitcom director James Burrows.

The special is going to air on Sunday, February 21, which possibly means they will be filming pretty soon.

However, NBC's Robert Greenblatt put a little spanner in the works: "Hoping that all six of them will be in the same room at the same time, but I'm not sure we can logistically pull that off," he said.

Will and Grace's Sean Hayes will be producing the special episode and the Will and Grace cast will also be included. 

This is going to be one hell of a show.
