Caitlyn Jenner is standing behind what she wrote in her memoir, The Secrets of My Life, about her marriage to Kris Jenner.
On Sunday's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris was very upset about what was written about her in Caitlyn's book. “None of it makes sense,” the 61-year-old momager tells her daughters, Kim and Khloe Kardashian. “Everything she says is all made up. Why does everything have to be that Kris is such a b**ch and an a**hole?”

Caitlyn appeared on Monday's Good Morning America, and watched Kris' reaction to the memoir for the first time when co-host Michael Strahan played the clip from Kuwtk.

With this dazzling body-swap romance, Makoto Shinkai confirms his reputation as Japan’s new animation king
“I feel like I’m always searching for someone…” Ever since the animation legend Hayao Miyazaki announced (perhaps prematurely) that 2013’s The Wind Rises was to be his final feature, fans have been searching for a successor to his artistic throne. Last week, Miyazaki revealed that 2019 may in fact see the completion of a full-length version of his short-film project, Boro the Caterpillar. But in the interim, an heir apparent has emerged in the shape of Makoto Shinkai, whose breathtaking body-swap romance Your Name has dominated the Japanese box office for months.
Revisiting themes of longing and separation that became his signature in films such as 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) and The Garden of Words (2013), Shinkai’s fifth feature has confirmed the writer-director as a major talent, duly dubbed “the new Miyazaki”. Yet this rip-roaring,...

Within the first five minutes of David F. Sandberg’s feature film debut, “Lights Out,” an understandably addled character has managed to figure out the primary rule of engaging with the freaky spectre haunting him: She disappears when illuminated. Even while being chased around an appropriately creepy textile factory (is it really necessary to have that many slump-shouldered mannequins just hanging out?) by a stringy-haired and sharp-clawed monster, Paul (Billy Burke) can still figure out what it is that keeps the baddie at bay, a realization that Sandberg telegraphs to both his character and his audience with the minimum of time.
Too bad then that Sandberg can’t keep such a simple and clever premise going during the relatively slim 80 minute runtime of his film, a horror offering that suffers immensely from wicked rule-bending and a disregard for the snappy chills that initially recommend it.

Jodi Albert feels like her mother is ''living on'' through her baby son. The former 'Hollyoaks' actress and husband Kian Egan welcomed second child Zekey into the world in May, on what would have been her beloved mum Eileen's birthday and she can see a huge likeness between the baby and her parent, who died of cancer in February. Jodi - who gave birth via a planned caesarean section - said: ''We couldn't believe he would be arriving on Mum's birthday. And he reminds us so much of her too - same hair, same eyes. It's like she's living on through baby...

Jon Hamm's first post–Mad Men move will be to star in Tony Gilroy's political action-thriller High Wire Act, Deadline reports. Transitioning from the ad offices of 1960s New York to 1980s war-torn Beirut, Hamm will play a former U.S. diplomat called to rescue a colleague "from the group possibly responsible for his own family’s death." (Oooh, cryptic!) "Jon Hamm was made to play the part," Gilroy has said in a statement. Brad Anderson is set to direct and has said that the project has many of the John le Carré–esque themes he loves, such as political intrigue, betrayal, and reluctant heroes. (A little more specific, but still pretty cryptic!) Well, color us both intrigued and happy for Hamm — especially after the whole Gone Girl thing.

We're feeling a little bereft. The Big Reunion has come to an end - though at least it was with a bang! The show went out in style with the much-trailed Hammersmith gig and now it's time to pack up our trouser skirts, heart glitter and gel pens and get back to our adult lives (well, as adult as we get anyway.) But at least the last hurrah was a good'un - here's what we noticed from the last episode of The Big Reunion's second series...
1. Kian Egan has a filthy mouth.
"Hear'Say, kiss my arse." Kian. We expected better from a former Westlife member from Westlife.
2. Andi Peters' voiceover just got even more ridiculous.
It started reasonably enough, with talk of clutching crocheted Adam Rickitt dolls to our bosoms, which we related to, obviously. Then it just got silly: "Jade is wearing a hat." Then it got...

Jodi Albert has responded to Natasha Hamilton's criticism about The Big Reunion staging a boyband-only tour.
Boybands including 5ive, Blue, 911, A1, 3T, 5th Story and Damage will embark on a 13-date tour across the UK in October.
Big Reunion Jodi Albert's blog: Skipping rehearsals, Kavana & tattoos
Hamilton accused the tour organisers of gender inequality, and said that she felt for the girl groups on this year's series - Eternal and Girl Thing.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Albert said: "I'll just leave her at it. She can do whatever she wants. I'm ok."
The Girl Thing singer added: "The original plan was to have a boyband tour, see how well that does, and then they'd put on a girlband tour, but it's a business decision at the end of the day.
"Boybands always do sell more. I completely get it, it makes sense. If there's public demand for [a girlband tour], they'll put one on.

Kavana's drunken outburst was the biggest bit of dramatics on this week's episode of The Big Reunion, but our very own blogger Jodi Albert got into a bit of trouble as well after she left Girl Thing rehearsals early to go to the Brit Awards.
In this week's column, Jodi defends her big night out, talks tearing up at 3T and discusses whether Kavana should have even come on the show...
"First of all, the Brit Awards - it was so over the top how they were like, 'Oh my God, Jodi's missing rehearsals'. I actually rehearsed through my lunchbreak before I left and I literally did not make one mistake. It's a dance routine for Girl Thing, for God's sake. Also, I didn't leave until 5 o'clock that day. It's not like I left at midday and was like, 'See ya later everyone'. I got ready in the...

I literally knew nothing about the reason Coreé wasn't taking part before last night. At the point where we actually started rehearsing together, we were already so far down the line that we hadn't gone into each other's stories.

"I told you it was going to be a bit crazy, didn't I? I was almost watching it like it was an out-of-body experience. I'm quite interested to see what other people thought. I knew that it was going to be emotional like that because I remember living it and it feeling just crazy, and last night I found myself tearing up over certain things and just feeling a little bit emotionally drained afterwards.

Well, that was intense. If it wasn't Girl Thing at each other's throats in Ireland or Kavana 'not putting the effort in' at 5th Story's studio sessions, it all got a bit heated in Big Reunion land - we needed at least three cuppas to handle the drama. But we survived, and we're all a bit more knowledgeable - here's what we learned from this week's episode...
1. Jodi Albert agreed to host Girl Thing's reunion at the Irish mansion she shares with Kian Egan.
Honestly, what was she thinking? How those tasteful sofas escaped without blood splatter, we'll never know. On the other hand, maybe it's because almost the first thing Jodi said to Linzi when seeing her for the first time in 13 years was that she had to take her shoes off or Kian would kill them.
2. Everyone in Girl Thing was terrified about the reunion.
"I'm s**ting myself,...

Their story struck a chord with married mother-of-one and Girl Thing member Jodi Albert, who's been blogging about her time on the show exclusively for DS. Read on for her thoughts on Jackson family life, cheeky comparisons to the King of Pop and the prospect of being fired by fax like Eternal's Kéllé Bryan...
"First of all, I thought Andi Peters' jibe about Girl Thing not bothering Michael Jackson's record sales was hilarious. You can't take it too seriously - I think that's what makes The Big Reunion good. All of the bands at some point or another didn't end up working and you've got to be able to take it on the chin.

Suzanne Shaw has revealed that she and Myleene Klass have been helping Big Reunion stars Girl Thing perfect the vocals to 'Pure and Simple' - the song allegedly stolen for their former group Hear'Say.
Girl Thing member Linzi Martin claimed on the ITV2 show that she co-wrote the verses for Hear'Say's breakout hit and recorded backing vocals, a claim backed up by bandmate Jodi Albert in her blog for Digital Spy and Klass herself on Twitter.
Speaking to DS, Shaw - who exited Dancing on Ice this week - said that she wants Girl Thing to have a hit with the song that launched her career.
She revealed: "It's funny, because the vocal coach from The Big Reunion said... 'I'm about to go in with Girl Things to do the harmonies - we're struggling. Where did you place your harmonies?' So Myleene and I racked our brains... and we were helping them out.

"The biggest thing for me about doing this show was when I found out the lineup and Eternal was in it! I literally cannot describe how excited I was about that. When I was a little girl they were probably the first girl band I ever got into and just absolutely adored. I knew all their songs, I have their videos and I was such an Eternal fan. I remember being at school for my birthday and a friend of mine bought me a video of Eternal - all their songs. I was so excited!

Simon Cowell has addressed his former band Girl Thing's claims on The Big Reunion that their song 'Pure and Simple' was allegedly stolen for Hear'Say, calling the group "bitter".
The Syco boss responded to allegations by Linzi Martin on the ITV2 show last week that she wrote the verses for Hear'Say's breakout hit and that Girl Thing sang backing vocals on the track.
Speaking to Digital Spy and others at Britain's Got Talent auditions in London's Hammersmith Apollo today (February 11), Cowell explained: "The guy who was managing them, I got him the gig to manage [the band from] Popstars, Hear'Say.
"He gave my song, 'Pure and Simple', to Hear'Say. It was my hit record. So that's why we didn't do what we hoped we were going to do with that group. All [failed] groups are bitter."
Asked if he thinks Girl Thing will have more success second time around, Cowell commented: "No, I...

Since we grew up surrounded by Top of the Pops and Smash Hits magazines, we were always going to be pretty happy with the lineup for series two of The Big Reunion. While others moaned about the lack of big names, we were chuffed. 3T? Check. Damage? Yep, remember them. Eternal? Obviously. A1? Well, we were a bit old for them, but then Ben was adorable on Big Brother. Brand new supergroup 5th Story? Our karaoke dreams made a reality.
But even we were left scratching our heads when Girl Thing were announced. Sure, we remember them vaguely trying to be a hit; we remember their one big song 'Last One Standing' in the sense that if someone hummed it we might have some kind of recollection. We know Jodi Albert, of course. But were Girl Thing really going to hit the nostalgic value of series one of The Big Reunion?...

The Big Reunion's Girl Thing have revealed that the show was like "therapy" for them.
Jodi Albert, Anika Bostekaar, Linzi Martin and Michelle Barber all appeared on ITV's Lorraine this morning, with Nikki Harrington joining them from her home in California.
Albert admitted that she never really dealt with the band's downfall, saying: "When Girl Thing ended, it ended quite abruptly for us and we all ran from it and certainly for me, we kind of blocked it all out, so actually revisiting it has been a bit like therapy."
She also revealed that she was pleased to get some closure, saying: "What appealed to me about doing [The Big Reunion] was rewriting our ending and giving us a chance to have a happy ending as opposed to the way we left it off."
Meanwhile, Martin admitted that it was tough trying to live up to the hype claiming that they were the new Spice Girls.

Girl Thing have admitted that they had some "rocky" conversations when they returned for The Big Reunion.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the band explained that they had some "intense" discussions when they met up again recently.
However, the five stars explained that they are now able to have more mature talks as they are all older - though they joked that their advancing years have not helped with their dance routines.
They also confirm that they will perform 'Pure and Simple' - the track which was taken from them to give to Popstars band Hear'Say - and explain that their appearance on The Big Reunion is about their "story".

However, the five stars explained that they are now able to have more mature talks as they are all older - though they joked that their advancing years have not helped with their dance routines.
They also confirm that they will perform 'Pure and Simple' - the track which was taken from them to give to Popstars band Hear'Say - and explain that their appearance on The Big Reunion is about their "story".

He told The Mirror: "Being bedridden was really worrying. I knew I was hungry, but I had two days where I couldn't get out of bed.
"I was having weird head rushes whenever I stood up. It was horrible. It was way, way harder than I ever imagined."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Laila Morse has won immunity from the first public vote-off.
Kian Egan and Joey Essex - who were voted the 'camp saviours' by the public this week - chose to save Morse after winning an immunity token in a memory challenge.
Two tokens were up for grab in the challenge, in which they had to remember various items which were driven past them.
The duo were told that they had to remember 20 out of 25 items to win a token and a meal for themselves, though the task was made more difficult when they were joined by critters such as cockroaches, crickets, mealworms and flies.
Essex was concerned before the challenge, worrying: "My memory's Joey Essex, not Albert Einstein. I want one token so bad because I want to be able to save as many people as possible."

ABC has picked up "Once Upon A Time In Wonderland," the spin-off of the network's popular fairy tale drama, currently wrapping up its second season.

We have an update on the upcoming Once Upon a Time spinoff:
First, it will now be titled Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, a change from the previously-announced Once: Wonderland.
Second, Emma Rigby - a British actress best known for her role on Hollyoaks - will portray the Red Queen on this unusual follow-up.
The series will begin filming in Vancouver as soon as production on Once Upon a Time Season 2 has wrapped.
It will be told through the point of view of Sophie Lowe's Alice and will tell the story of a pre-cursed Wonderland.
