SHAY MITCHELL TALKS RAISING BIRACIAL CHILD: Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell has always tried to be open about the perils and joys of motherhood. She tells ET that she is raising her 8-month-old daughter Atlas, who is biracial, amid a historic era of protest, to feel as strong and empowered as she can. Mitchell tells ET: "We're reading books, one of her nighttime books is A Is for Activist. We're starting her right now because I think it's so important to educate them at a young age so they know that truly no matter what you look like, you deserve to love and be loved without judgment, be all and end all and that's it. Especially coming from a mixed family herself. I hope it's in our generation and I really pray that it's in hers as well that there will be a huge change and I slowly see it right now."

AMANDA SEYFRIED TALKS MAMMA MIA: Amanda Seyfried says that there may be a third Mamma Mia film on the horizon. Talking to Collider about the fan love for the 2018 sequel, she said: "Well it's a better story, because they had something to grow on. Like the first story had to match the stage show. So it was like, they were kind of stuck. With the second story, it could have been anything." She continued: "Having Meryl [Streep]'s character die kind of gave us so many good storylines. It was kind of a genius idea because you're like, no, we don't want to lose her. But at the same time, look at what you can do, you can go back. And Lily James can play young Meryl. It was just perfect. It was so well written."
