“Girl You Know It’s True”: There's a MILLI VANILLI documentary being made. The film will feature surviving member FAB MORVAN as well as interviews with the actual singers behind Milli Vanilli’s music.

Producers also promise some never-before-seen footage as well as interviews with the actual singers behind Milli Vanilli’s music and interviews with Fab Morvan.

See ya: you may have heard about 16-year-old CALEB KENNEDY --one of the top five finalists on "American Idol"-- who's leaving the show after a video surfaced showing him next to someone wearing what seems to be a Ku Klux Klan hood. The NY Post reports he posted his statement on Instagram, saying in part "I know this has hurt and disappointed a lot of people and made people lose respect for me. I’m so sorry! I pray that I can one day regain your trust in who I am and have your respect!" Kennedy’s mom says that the video was shot back when Kennedy was just 12 years old and inspired by a movie he had seen. That leaves WILLIE SPENCE, GRACE KINSTLER, CHAYCE BECKHAM and CASEY BISHOP as finalists on "Idol"
