With no live show and two hours of airtime to fill, the awards show featured a significant amount of "flashback" footage, including Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, P!nk, and Mya performing "Lady Marmalade" from the Moulin Rogue! Soundtrack in 2001, NSYNC performing "It's Gonna Be Me" in 2000, and TLC performing "Waterfalls" from the 1995 show.

Chris Pratt is sharing how his faith helps him deal with the criticism that comes from being in the spotlight. In a recent interview with Page Six, the Guardians of the Galaxy actor compared his experience to that of Jesus.
When the outlet asked if he's faced criticism for being open about his faith, Pratt said, "I sure do but that's nothing new, that's nothing new, you know?"
Quoting the Bible, the Parks and Recreation star continued, "If I was of this world, they would love me just like that but as it is, I've chosen out of this world. That's John 15:18 through 20."
Referring to Jesus, Pratt added, "That's the way it is, nothing new, 2,000 years ago they hated him, too."
Kaley Cuoco is impressed with Tom Pelphrey's fathering skills. Speaking about her boyfriend with People, the Flight Attendant actress said, "I cannot believe how natural he is, how much he loves it."
Cuoco and Pelphrey welcomed their first child together, baby Matilda, earlier this year. "I mean, when we were in the hospital, he did everything — every diaper, he's the swaddle king," she said. "All the nurses said, 'Oh my God, you're the best guy swaddler we've ever seen.'"
Cuoco added that the Ozark actor "just loves" Matilda. "She looks exactly like him. And he has a very distinct voice, so when he talks to her, she's like 360. Her head turns around, and she's like, 'I know that voice.' It's very sweet," the Big Bang Theory star said.
Nick Cannon is saying his piece when it comes to being a father to 11 children with six different women. The Wild ‘N Out star spoke with The Los Angeles Times in an interview published Sunday (May 7th) about being designated a "deadbeat dad."
"I've been villainized," he told the outlet. "I hear all the time: ‘You can't be present for all those children.' So therefore I get this ‘deadbeat dad' title."
Cannon added that what matters is how his kids feel when he's around. "It's not about what I do for you or what I say to you, it's about how you feel when I'm with you. If you feel loved when you see your dad, that's what's gonna resonate," he said.

If I post this, and I think I might, I will get in a lot of trouble with CBS because I'm calling them out. Because they've been wonderful to me for 26 out of my 29-year career," Moore said in a video posted to Instagram. "But to abruptly get told that you're canceled when you led us to believe last week — and the week before, and the week before that — that we would have some semblance of a season seven to at least say goodbye, if not continue. And to abruptly be told, ‘You're done.'"

During an interview on PBS' Firing Line With Margaret Hoover, the Oscar-winning actor said, "It's an art. No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people's feelings? You can't legislate that," He added, "You have to let life be life. I'm sorry, I don't think there is a minority or majority in the country that has to be catered to like that."

Mark Hamill paid a sweet tribute to his Star Wars co-star, Carrie Fisher, at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Thursday (May 4th).
The actor read from a note he wrote about Fisher shortly after her death. In his speech, he said, "Carrie was one of a kind. She belonged to us all, whether we liked it or not. She was our princess, dammit! And the actress who played her blurred into one gorgeous, fearlessly independent, ferociously funny, take charge woman who took our collective breath away. Determined and tough, but with a vulnerability that made you root for her and want her to succeed and be happy. She played such a crucial role in my professional and personal life. Both would've been far emptier without her."
Hamill stuck around to help Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, unveil her mother's star.

"He was the happiest and sweetest dog ever. He used to get excited when he saw me and would pee everywhere. When I was working at SNL my mom would send me videos of him watching, smiling and making noise when I came on screen. I don't ever really watch any of my stuff with anyone as I'm far too scared but I didn't mind watching with Henry. "
The comedian concluded, "My mom, sister and I are broken and will miss him forever. We love you Henry. Thank you for making our lives fuller and reminding me what actually matters."

Billie Lourd confirmed Wednesday (May 3rd) that she did not invite Carrie Fisher's siblings - Todd, Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher - to the late actress' Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Thursday, May 4.
According to a statement obtained by Variety, Lourd said, "Days after my mom died, her brother and her sister chose to process their grief publicly and capitalize on my mother's death, by doing multiple interviews and selling individual books for a lot of money, with my mom and my grandmother's deaths as the subject. I only found out they had done this through the press. They never consulted me or considered how this would affect our relationship."
She added, "To be clear — there is no feud. We have no relationship. This was a conscious decision on my part to break a cycle with a way of life I want no part of for myself or my children."
Carrie's sisters, Joely and Tricia, issued their own statement on Instagram Wednesday (May 3rd).
The siblings wrote, "Strangely we won't be in attendance to celebrate our sister, whom we adored. For some bizarre, misguided reason our niece has chosen not to include us in this epic moment in our sister's career. This is something Carrie would have definitely wanted her siblings to be present for. The fact that her only brother and two sisters were intentionally and deliberately excluded is deeply shocking. We have all been grieving the loss of our favorite human for some years now…we have given Billie the space to do that in her own way. We have been nothing but loving and open, consistently. This isn't about a photo op on Hollywood Blvd…this is about celebrating the permanency of Carrie's legacy in this industry, taking her place with a star on the iconic walk of fame along side our parents."
Carrie Fisher passed away in December 2016 at the age of 60. Her mother, and Lourd's grandmother, Debbie Reynolds passed a day later.

However, the Iron Man actress couldn't decide who the better kisser was and admitted they were both good.
