2:06and the music payday that could cover it. Plus, Diddy's pampered prison life exposed. Bad boy for life. The special treatment claims now coming back to bite him. I just don't know. I don't know the future holds. Then spike Lee in a baseball bra. What set him off and why the director had to be restrained. And Jamie Pressley's ET then on set. Everybody slept together with everybody. And now. Comment down little girl. Wild stories from her 30 years in Hollywood. ET starts right now. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky continue mixing work and play in Paris over 5600 miles away from the real life drama in LA. Hello and welcome to entertainment tonight. Yeah, new developments in court over the woman who allegedly riddled their Beverly Hills home with bullets back in March. As Rihanna and crew move forward in France. They're the best. I love this. I love it. New images. Rihanna and Paris making ASAP

3:11Rocky's concert a family night. That's Rihanna holding four year old Rizza and three year old Riot rocking his headphones. Later Rihanna dances with the boys and helps lift Riot to his dad on stage. Meanwhile, just four hours earlier back in LA, a 14 count indictment was unsealed against the woman accused of opening fire on Rihanna and ASAP's home. 10 gun shots fired from the vehicle. Listen Rihanna, when you die, God is taking me to my future. 36 year old Yvonne Lissette or T's entered a not guilty plea. The deputy DA telling reporters after quote, this is a person who wanted to kill Rihanna. Everyone else was collateral damage. It was scary. It was unprovoked. It was out of nowhere. Prosecutors claim she fired at least 20 rounds from an AR-15 style rifle with bullets hitting their nursery wall just feet from their children and nanny. Rihanna's faith is a double. She only did her little music thing so that she can do witchcraft. On Tuesday, Ortiz was found mentally

4:16competent by a judge to stand trial. She's expected back in court October 29th. As for the couple's life today, you can get real comfortable being a homeless mom. Well, Rihanna and Rocky are leaning into family. They've reportedly been living mostly in Paris and New York for the past few months. And on Saturday, Rihanna posted these images of one year old Rocky in pink curlers and plain dress up with mom's wig. The daughter, she just runs the show. Rihanna has been owning Paris Fashion Week, including this stunning moment in a gold coat. The attempt on our lives at our house was supposed to make us more scared, but it's like I don't want to be robbed of my peace and joy. And there's big legal news for the writer behind one of Rihanna's biggest hits. See ya. Rihanna was like, I love this song. Diamonds it's mine. The notoriously camera shy singer-songwriter who's in the midst of a very bitter and expensive

5:19divorce just sold a 50% stake in her music catalog for a staggering 180 million. 165 million dollars of that deal covers the songs written before her 2022 marriage to a strange husband Dan Bernad, including Shandhaliir, Elastic Heart, Antitanium. Dan waved any right to the payout if she agreed to give him one million. The 15 million tied to music created during their 26 month marriage is now sitting in escrow while the ex's battle how it will be divided. I'm a baby. I'm a son of a college. I'm a low-income money. I could do so much with that. Dan already receives more than $42,000 a month in child support for their two-year-old son Summer Salt after initially demanding more than $250,000 a month, claiming he needed that to

6:19maintain their son's standard of living. See as entire music empire is valued at an eye-popping $360 million. Thanks in part to song she is written for other pop icons. From Beyoncé's Pretty Hurtz, Perfume by Brittany Spears, and Kelly Clarkson's Invincible. Dan claimed their expenses had topped $400,000 a month, including private jet travel, vacations, expensive restaurants, and a full-time household staff. I'm doing this because I'm your mother. I love you. I have no other agenda. Let's go to New Jersey now where did he has been moved to solitary confinement hours after headlines. He's living a pampered prison life. NBC News with video claiming he was using a cell phone, drinking henna-sea, and getting deep tissue massages from other inmates. We're told isolation is a routine temporary measure when prison officials conduct an investigation.

7:24It's believed to be the 56-year-old second-time in solitary in three months. He was allegedly involved in a prison fight in July. Did he choke demand out? He was placed in solitary confinement. A lot of fights, a lot of scores, a lot of ups, a lot of downs. We do know that federal law does prohibit muggling a cell phone inside of a prison. So what do you have to say about that? Well, if the reports are true, it's possible that he could face some additional time in prison. I don't know what the future holds. Let's turn now to one of the richest golfers in the world, Phil Mickelson, who checked himself into an addiction treatment center amid a slew of personal issues. I think golf has a lot of parallels to life. He talked about bad lives. We all face challenges. We all hit bad shots. Phil's Reptiles ET, he spent time at a facility earlier this year for family trauma and addiction. In April, he dropped out of the master's citing a family personal health matter. Ben and June, the 56-year-old was accused of non-consensual and inappropriate contact with a

8:24golf club employee. Weeks later, the ex-wife of the competitor accused him of propositioning her back in 2015, both allegations his attorney denied. The six-time major winner has also been candid about a long-time gambling addiction. I'm learning from my mistakes. Phil joins golf rival Tiger Woods and former quarterback Tony Romo becoming the third major athlete in six months to speak out about seeking treatment. How many drinks have you had? Turn around for me. And check out this video. That's spikedly being held back during a heated confrontation with a fan. It happened at a restaurant at Yankee Stadium last night. The fan reportedly approached the legendary director for a selfie and asked him to say, bleep Palestine. That's when spiked got up to look for security. He was later spotted watching the game with actor Nick Tuturo. The incident comes eight months after he made headlines for wearing a Palestinian flag accessory. Spike later explaining the clothes

9:26were symbols of his utmost belief in human dignity for all mankind. Let's move on to the show already generating a lot of buzz and it has a connection to James Dean. Our Emily Curl is on the black carpet. That's right. We're at the long-awaited premiere of Florence Pugh's passion project, East of Eden, that was six years in the making. Runners? First stop of this. Thank you. Can you tell me your favorite detail on it? Everything. How about the fact that I'm wearing short-truths as a color? Oh, good. Let's talk about this role. You said it was totally terrifying to take it on. I truly love the feeling of fear when I'm reading a character. To high any little cuts made from a sweet assent of racism. Murderous mother Florence goes full villain in the seven-part Netflix series, streaming now, that provides a new take on the classic film that made James Dean a star. The Hunger Games Joseph Zeta takes on the iconic role.

10:28Is it, you know, intimidating all to be called the next James Dean? Like that's a really lovely compliment. You know, he died 71 years ago today. How crazy is that? No, no, no. That's a crazy coincidence. Let's talk about Florence as your mom. What's it like getting to work with her? She's this generation's marrow strafe and a lot of ways. Your grandfather directed obviously the film and now you're making your own. I felt like, oh, there's a whole world here that I want to see on screen. New dad Christopher Abbott also stars in the multi-generational saga based on John Steinbeck's classic novel. Girlfriend Albu Plaza was on hand showing support. Is next project the MCU's next X-Men movie? That cast is really, really good. Yeah, I mean, I can't wait. I love X-Men. Still ahead. Oh, he's a generous lover. Spilling the ET gets steamy. Oh, Austin. Oh, Austin. From an NCIS origins romance. Why do you wear so many shirts? To Georgian Mandy's first marriage, confessions from CBS stars.

11:30Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Then before Chris Evans was Captain America, that's a strike in my book. The love advice he got from Jamie Pressley. My trailer was like the therapy session. I'd be like, talk to me. A beautifully designed square space website is the difference between thinking about photography school and selling your portraits online. It's the difference between giving away those cookies you just made for free and running your cookie empire.

12:33a website makes it real. Use offer code difference for 50% off select plans, terms and conditions apply. Why do you wear so many shirts? The tea isn't the only thing that's hot around here. During season three of NCIS origins, which premieres October 6th, Mark Harmon doesn't just narrate, he makes his return on screen. And Georgian Mandy's first marriage makes its season three debut, October 8th. Both of our series take place in the 90s. What's one thing from that decade you would like to bring back? Oh, my. The page. The page. Bring it back. Really?

13:36I'm tired of the social media. Close one. Let's do the speed round, y'all. Celebrity crush growing up. Ugh, isn't always husband at Harris. Okay, favorite thing about being a guy. Oh, everything. Just almost two. Our personality starting to come out. Your dream future co-star. Kathy Bates, let's go. Call me up. Okay, tell me one secret about your co-star, Emily Osmond. What's happened? Your prayers are being answered, shut up. I don't have anything bad to say about Emily. Don't I get it? Don't. Come on, my band up. We're still in the G. Coming up. Hi, I'm Jamie Pressley, and this is my ET, then and now. Jamie settles her Margot Robbie look-alike debate once and for all. I'm old enough to be her mother, but I will take it as a compliment, right? Then only ET's on set with Luke Grimes. Starts off with a bang. How plain a dad on Marshall's changed him as a father in real life. My son's too. You know, I was always just guessing at it before it.

14:37And Jonathan Bailey's Hot Mike Moment, blowing up our comment section. No, I never know. Next ET. This was one that I was just thrilled and really proud of. Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Carrie Washington. We're with the trio at their animals premiere in LA. He means so much to me. Ben, it feels like home in a lot of ways. LL Cool J celebrates his NCIS return. I appreciate you guys letting me run with you on this one. Let's get to work. It's like riding a bike. Plus. Only we're on set of trackers new LA digs. It's an ET exclusive. Next ET. No news. Luke. Luke Grimes, where do we pick up at with season two of Marshalls? Starts off with a bang. The first episode is incredible. How is that when you keep reading this script and you're like, they've got me doing what this season? I'm a little more prepared for it this time. Got a little better shape.

15:40Only ET was invited to the park city Utah set of Marshalls. Season two, which kicks off Sunday on CBS, focuses on the father's son relationship between Casey and Tate. It's my heart thinking all you've been through. I'm strong. I tell you and raised me to be. Our relationship gets a little rocky. He's turning 18 this season in the show. And he just actually turned 18 in real life, which is crazy. I met Brecken when he was nine years old. A big part of Casey's arc in season two is like trying to guide his son, but also let him become his own man. Do you find sometimes when you're talking to Brecken, like the father and you comes out a little bit or? Well, my son's too. It's actually helped me be like playing a dad. You know, I was always just guessing at it before. And now, like, today's scene, I'm walking up and seeing him and all his bronch riding gear. And I just thought, man, imagine seeing my own son one day, looking like a grown man like that would be kind of a crazy thing. Now, what does this season look like for Casey in the love department? He's definitely opening up a little more than he was. I don't even know what to say. But it's a first.

16:40Let's see what the future holds. Okay, well, you can share. You know who to call. Yeah, I got you. All right, let's keep the exclusives going now with this Emmy winner. Hi, I'm Jamie Pressley, and this is my ET, Den, and Now. You know, ET first spoke with you. I think it was back in 1998. You were promoting a ringmaster with Jerry Springer. In this movie, I sleep with everybody, not literally. But on set, everybody slept together with everybody. Everybody here in the absolute freak in this movie. Comment down, little girl. You were excited. I was 19. Yes, you were a kid. I was a baby. If you could give her advice, what would you say to her? Oh, less is more. You had this just incredible run in the 2000s. I mean, it was Tom Katz and then it was Joe Dirt. I can't tell you how many people come up to me and get a photo and want me to write all the things. From Dirt.

17:40You can say it, we can believe it. There's an Emmy sister, which I have to sign most of the time. Sure. That's a big 10 for balls to the wall. Then you went from that to not another team movie. I feel like I remember that. You're a theater here. I make the chair decisions and I will deal with the drama sequences. Ah, yeah. That was over the top. I mean, the whole film was. Of course. That's exactly what I was trying to do. You were acting opposite Chris Evans in that movie. Yeah, Captain America. When you look back at him then, could you see a little, something a little star quality? I was the oldest. So I was like the mama at 24 years old. Oh my god. Right, which is crazy. And I think he was like 19, 20 years old, something like that. My trailer was like the therapy session. And I'd be like, talk to him. And he was just like, who broke your heart to do that. I have. And the second I met him, I knew that, you know, he had the thing. Could we up, Dordell? Ah. Oh. David Dordell. Would you say that my name is Earl kind of changed the trajectory of your crew? I always say joy from Earl was my greatest release.

18:42Yeah. Because she just was a lot all the time. If they came back to you with an opportunity to play her again, would it be an immediate yes? Oh, 100%. Yeah. It's OK. I forgive you. And after that, you went to one of my favorite shows, Mom. We got to go to work and play these beautifully flawed women, who are all supportive of each other. Jamie reunited with her mom family in the Netflix comedy Leigh Ann before finally getting the dramatic film role she'd been waiting for, playing a struggling mom in last shot out tomorrow. You're so as it's been easy for me either. Did being a mother and having boys didn't shape how you approached? I had to shut my heart off. Oh, OK. My mom heart. Yeah. Jamie also settles the long-running Margot Robbie look-alike debate. I know you get it all the time. All the time. And there's a thing online where they put her face and my face half and half together. And it really is. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. They always come at you. Anybody tell you look at Margot Robbie

19:42and I'm like, no, she looks like me. I'm old enough to be her mother, but I will take it as a compliment. Right. Still ahead, Jonathan Bailey as Dracula. You shall be my servant.
