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.

And to abruptly be told, ‘You're done.'"

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."

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.

For the first time in 15 years, the Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. This comes after "six weeks of negotiating" between the WGA and major production studios.

"Though our Negotiating Committee began this process intent on making a fair deal, the studios' responses have been wholly insufficient given the existential crisis writers are facing," the WGA tweeted late Monday night (May 1st).

According to Yahoo! News, picket lines began forming outside of Warner Bros., Paramount, and Netflix on Tuesday (May 2nd), as Hollywood writers demand better pay in the streaming era.

"The companies' behavior has created a gig economy inside a union work force, and their immovable stance in this negotiation has betrayed a commitment to further devaluing the profession of writing," the union said in a statement.

The outlet reports that affected shows so far include late-night talk shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show, The Daily Show, and Saturday Night Live —as well as scripted series like Abbott Elementary, Cobra Kai, House of the Dragon, and Yellowjackets.

Stars such as Wanda Sykes, Rob Lowe, and Aidy Bryant all shared their support for the writers on strike, joining them on the picket line Tuesday (May 2nd).

Allison Holker opened up to People about the loss of her husband, Stephen ‘tWitch' Boss, in her first interview since his death. The Ellen DeGeneres Show deejay died by suicide in December of last year. He was just 40 years old.

"No one had any inkling that he was low. He didn't want people to know," she told the outlet. "He just wanted to be everyone's Superman and protector."

The couple had three children together: 14-year-old Weslie, three-year-old Zaia, 3, and seven-year-old Maddox. "We'd have so many random conversations, and there was so much laughter," Holker said of the family's dinners together. "Our love was so real and so loud. We always told people our house was like a choreographed dance."

"It's been really hard because I can't understand what was happening in that moment he died," she added. "Stephen brought so much joy to this world, and he deserves to be remembered as the beautiful man he was."
