Kris Jenner was reportedly hospitalized for "internal pain" on Wednesday, April 16, reports E! News.

A source told the website that the 58-year-old momager "went to the hospital for some internal pains she was having," and "got a scan for precautionary reasons." At this time Jenner is choosing to keep the details surrounding her medical issue private, the source explained.

Whatever Jenner is dealing with, the reality star seems to be in good spirits and is focusing on the upcoming Easter holiday, as she just posted a photo of an adorable table she set for her grandchildren, Mason, Penelope and North. "Easter sweets and goodies for my precious Bunnies!! #EasterLove," she captioned the photo.



Request for comment made to Jenner's rep has yet to be returned.

Season 2 of NBC's "Hannibal" is underway, and South Korea knows how to promote it. The trailer above contains all the emotions and drama of a full length feature film condensed into two minutes and thirty seconds of pure bliss.

There is love. There is tragedy. There are animated hearts popping out of Will Graham's eyes.

You don't need to understand a South Korean dialect to enjoy this clip, but if you're curious about what's going on, just try turning on the YouTube captions. You'll see phrases like "me dude up some," "we can hook up too much to Jeff's" and ,of course, "hunny bunny pumping crew."

(We're guessing YouTube captions doesn't know what to make of this video either.)

Check out the promo above. We recommend you enjoy it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

"Hannibal" airs Friday at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

Amy Poehler Teams Up With Fellow 'SNL' Alum Al Franken For Senate Fundraiser

"Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler will give a reelection boost to fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) at a Los Angeles fundraiser next week.

In a Thursday email to supporters, Franken's campaign manager said Poehler is hosting "a little party for Al" on April 24.

Poehler has been active in politics beyond her role on TV as a small-town city councilwoman. She told The Hill in 2009 that her political philosophy involves "a constant balance of paying attention, asking questions and putting my money where my mouth is."

In that vein, she sent out an email on behalf of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 2011.

Franken was elected in 2008 following a close recount. He has spent his time in the Senate working on mental health, antitrust and drug safety issues, among other policy efforts.

Financial executive Mike McFadden and Minnesota state Sen. Julianne Ortman are among the Republicans vying to unseat Franken in November.

Here's How Jack Gleeson Really Felt About That Shocking 'Game Of Thrones' Episode

The king is dead! And no one seems to be happier about that than the guy who used to wear the crown.

Last week's pivotal "Game of Thrones" episode proved that the most hated king in Westeros just can't handle his poison. There was a lot twitching and slobbering and choking, but when King Joffrey finally did croak, the world rejoiced. (Karma, like marriage, is no joke in the Seven Kingdoms.)

But no one is more pleased than the actor who was stuck playing the most hated man on TV, Jack Gleeson. With all of those reaction videos circling around the web, celebrating his fictional demise, Gleeson might have just claimed the title of "Best Purple Wedding Reaction Ever."

You be the judge.

Cannes Film Festival Doubles Female Directors To Compete For Palme d'Or

The Cannes 2014 lineup features more films directed by woman than it did in the past two years, and has doubled the number of female-directed films that will compete for the Palme d'Or from last year. In 2014, there will be two female-directed films presented for the top award -- "Still the Water" from Naomi Kawase and “Le Meraviglie” from Alice Rohrwacher.

Last year's main competition included just one female directed film, "Un Chateau En Italie," directed by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, and Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" was notably left out. Six female-directed films were featured overall in the festival.

"Usually I don’t mention the number (of films directed by women)," Thierry Fremaux, the festival's director, said during the 2014 selection announcement in Paris. But this year he noted that 15 of the 49 films announced on Thursday are directed by women. Most of those films are in Un Certain Regard. Jane Campion is still the only female director to ever have won the Palme d'Or -- for "The Piano" in 1993 -- and currently presides over the main jury.

Though two women directors in competition sounds like a low number, back in 2012 there were zero female-directed films up for the prize. The lack of women recognized drew international attention and, at the time, Fremaux said he wouldn't favor a movie due to director's gender.

There's no doubt that the controversy around lack of female directors will continue until the festival's start in May, but for now we can cheer Kawase and Rohrwacher.

It's no secret that Whoopi Goldberg knows a little about pot. Now, she is sharing that knowledge in a new column for the Denver Post's pot site.

Goldberg made her debut on Thursday in a piece for the Cannabist called "My vape pen and I, a love story." In it, she explains how her daughter introduced her to the vaporizer pen and how she's been using it ever since.

She waxed poetic about her vape pen, which she said has helped her "live comfortably with glaucoma."

"The vape pen has changed my life," Goldberg declared. "No, I’m not exaggerating. In fact, her name is Sippy. Yes, she’s a she. And yes, I named her Sippy because I take tiny, little sips -- sassy sips, even -- from her. And with each sip comes relief -- from pressure, pain, stress, discomfort."

Digital First said that Goldberg's column will appear every two months.

In honor of The Who's 50th anniversary, the band is embarking on a world tour, beginning in the U.K. around Christmas time, and then making their way to North America in 2015.

"It will be a world tour," Who guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend told Billboard. "I'm not crazy about going on the road, but I'm in good shape and once I start doing it -- and I'm still very good at it -- I'll take some pleasure from it."

The band also stated that there is a possibility of new music in the future.

"I'm trying to [look] through my 20,000 hours of complete and utter disorganized music [to find possible songs]," Who guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend told Billboard. "I'll be pulling some songs out of [his long-gestating project] 'Floss' to give to Roger [Daltrey] to see if we've got enough to make an album. It might be a big waste of time, but I'm hoping there will be an album."

Fingers crossed for a new album in 2015!

Lorde's Nose Wasn't Photoshopped, Canada's Fashion Magazine Claims

If you haven't figured it out by now, Lorde really doesn't enjoy being Photoshopped.

The 17-year-old pop star took to Twitter on April 16 to express her disappointment with Canada's FASHION magazine, which she claims gave her a digital nose job.

Lorde isn't the only one to suspect some serious airbrushing was applied to her face for the magazine's May 2014 issue, but the Editor-in-Chief Bernadette Morra, denies the publication gave the New Zealand native rhinoplasty courtesy of Photoshop, reports E! News.

"I can assure you, FASHION Magazine did not give Lorde a new nose," Morra said in a statement on April 17. "Sometimes lighting or camera angles can give the impression that things look smaller, larger or different than they really are."

Lorde is quickly becoming one of the industry's most outspoken anti-Photoshop advocates. Previously, the singer took to Twitter to compare two photos of herself during a performance, specifically pointing out that one photo had been airbrushed to the point that her skin was "perfect." This practice is not cool by Lorde's standards, and she wisely reminded the world to "remember flaws are ok."

Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Tackle Misleadingly Photoshopped Ads

In an effort to shield young children and teenagers from the damaging effects of photoshopped images, Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Lois Capps (D-Calif.) have co-sponsored legislation to reduce the use of misleadingly altered images in advertisements.

“Just as with cigarette ads in the past, fashion ads portray a twisted, ideal image for young women,” Capps said in April. “And they’re vulnerable. As sales go up, body image and confidence drops.”

While the proposal would not implement new regulatory standards, the “Truth in Advertising Act” would mandate the Federal Trade Commission to report on advertisements photoshopped to “materially change the physical characteristics of the faces and bodies of the individuals depicted."

The legislation would also require the FTC to coordinate with health and business experts to develop an ongoing strategy aimed at reducing the use of photoshopped images.

Opponents of the measure view the bill, introduced in March, as a broad and redundant infringement on advertisers' rights, arguing that the FTC already employs existing powers to block blatantly untruthful ads.

“The use of cosmetics and photoshop are widespread practices,” Dan Jaffe of the Association of National Advertisers told Time magazine in April. “It can’t just be the photoshopping that they go after, it would have to be tied to something specific. Are you just going to say that whenever someone photoshops it’s a per se violation? I think that would be going too far.”

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... and that goes double in this case.

Not only is House of Halo, an Amsterdam ad agency, flattering Pharrell with this pretty great parody, they're also paying homage to the original "music videos without the music" guy, Mario Wienerroither.

The best part: "Happy" is still the happiest thing, even without the music.

Last night's season finale of "Scandal" proved there's not enough wine in the world to help deal with Olivia Pope's family drama.

Bombs going off, mini-Fitz going down King Joffrey style and Papa Pope toying with our emotions -- we're still recovering from the explosive episode. Thanks to the sick and twisted genius that is Shonda Rhimes we are now questioning everything. Is O.P.A really over? What happened to Harrison? And, most importantly, why haven't we been playing closer attention to Tom throughout the season?

We won't have any answers until next season premieres, but until then we can all tell Rhimes exactly how we feel about that insane final episode, in 140 characters or less, of course.

LA's Spring Dandy Lions

I've always loved spring's rites of passage with vibrant florals bursting of color and alluring scents -- along with it comes the whisper of newness and sometimes the roar of the familiarity. This season it will be a roar -- at least at the LA Zoo.

This spring, the new power couple in town is Hubert and Kalisa, two glorious lions who have just arrived at the Zoo. I couldn't help but fall in love with them. My hunch is you will too. The two 15-year-old tawny blondes from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle who have been a couple for six years and their presence will fill a void this city has been painfully aware of for the past two years. The LA Zoo lost its beloved Cookie, 23, in 2012 after suffering cancer. She made history four years prior as the first queen of the beasts to undergo laparoscopic heart surgery. She and her male companion Lionel arrived at the zoo in 1997, on loan from the Wildlife Way station above Sylmar. Both had been prior house pets. The majestic fellow died in April 2011, also 23.

Lions can live up to 14 years in the wild and up to three decades in captivity. Cookie, zoo officials say, was known for her own special roar. And when the couple roamed the enclosed terrain together and roared in unison they really drew a crowd.

Kalisa and Hubert just made their public debut on March 28th at the zoo's renovated lion exhibit. Prior to their arrival, guests were always asking zoo officials where the lions were. It is hard to imagine a zoo for a city like L.A. without African lions, a kingdom without a reigning king and queen.

These two are certainly older than the usual spring arrivals. Last year, a 135-pound newborn Masai giraffe Sofie was birthed at the zoo. In 2011 Joey the baby Koala, twin peninsular pronghorns and a desert bighorn sheep were born. Zoo officials have said they've been involved in a program for more than a decade to bring the hoofed mammal Pronghorn from Baja back from the brink of extinction and now the LA Zoo has the distinction of being the first zoo to breed the species. Only 250 are left in the wild.

The zoo is one of the city's overlooked treasures. It was originally called the Griffith Park Zoo when it opened in 1912 about two miles south of the current site. It moved into its current home in 1966. It was upgraded in the 90s and a new director was brought aboard. The Botanical Gardens boast 7,400 plants. There is so much to see and the city zoo needs its citizens to support it. What better time than spring?

There are some great spring activities coming up for families like the Big Bunny's Spring Fling April 18-20 and the Earth Day Expo follows on April 27. Take it from an animal activist who proudly serves on LA's Parks, Recreation and Tourism Commissions and Boards - our new residents are something to roar about.

Here's a peek at the two below:

Rita Ora's Makeup Haul Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen Before

Rita Ora's red carpet makeup is always so damn perfect. Between her exceptional winged-out liner and immaculate red lipstick, the British babe is flawless.

But we all know it takes a lot of time and products to "#fixthismug," as Ora revealed in a recent Instagram of her massive makeup haul.

The 23-year-old Roc Nation singer managed to squeeze tons of foundations, bronzers, eyeliners, blushes and lipsticks into eight black makeup cases. After zooming in to the Instagram photo and squinting for about five minutes, we were able to spy luxury beauty brands like Chanel, Armani and Dior. But we're pretty sure the Rimmel London ambassador had a few of their best products within her collection.

We don't need a calculator to determine that Ora's makeup haul supersedes the amount of products that the average American woman's makeup bag holds, but we gotta give it up to our girl (or her makeup artist) for keeping things so nice and neat.

The Name's Mamet, Clara Mamet

Clara Mamet has an old soul. Something about her reminds me of Mel Brooks and Myron Cohen, except Mamet is 19-years-old and has probably never heard of the Ed Sullivan Show, where I was first introduced to their styles of humor. Nonetheless, Mamet's the creative force (writer, director and star) behind Two Bit Waltz, a feature film that launched at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 17th 2014.

Mamet utilizes both sight gags and cerebral humor like a seasoned sketch comedy writer, employing clever set pieces to cover subjects like death, money and chain smoking. Throughout the film, Mamet uses toast to exploit a running gag, her wry sense of humor and the deadpan delivery of her actors play the material deftly enough to sustain the joke. She also has a gag in her psychiatrist's office that's really hilarious, and when I asked her about it she said, "What do you want to do when you're at a shrink's office? A lot of people don't want to be there, so I figured, why not just move the furniture around. It's much funnier than cutting back and forth from the patient to the shrink."

I mentioned a Mel Brooks influence to Mamet, who responded that "Preston Sturges is one of my favorites. I learned about dialogue and timing from him -- louder faster funnier. But I do love Mel Brooks," she added.

Sidney Lumet is another influence, having taught Mamet: "The importance of less is more" and she considers him her favorite film maker. Mamet wants to keep making movies and she has five scripts in the pipeline although "all of them are half finished, hopefully one will pop up."

Mamet's background may be considered privileged -- her parents are David Mamet and Rebecca Pidgeon -- but I found her to be a shy and respectful, yet driven young woman, which is a rarity in her age group, which seems to be populated primarily by insouciant hipsters.

Mamet's certainly ambitious and hardworking, and when I asked her for a dream project, she mentioned a Bond film without missing a beat. Clara Mamet has a true gift for humor, and I hope she considers an off-beat comedy show before turning 21.

During a conversation with HuffPost Live's Caitlyn Becker about his cooking show "My Family Recipe Rocks," Fatone left the door slightly open for unforeseen possibilities but was definitive that there are no plans whatsoever for another *NSYNC project.

"You always say 'never say never' because that [Grammy performance] happened. That was never going to happen, and all of a sudden it did happen. So, at this moment in time, is anything going to happen? Absolutely, 100 percent no," he said.
