The 2021 Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special is happening live in Times Square right now with hosts Ryan Seacrest, Lucy Hale, and Billy Porter appearing in New York City!

Even though Times Square is nearly empty this year due to the pandemic, the TV shows are still broadcasting live from the historic location.

Billy, who is best known for his Emmy-winning performance in FX’s Pose and his Tony and Grammy-winning work in Broadway’s Kinky Boots, showed off his musical talents during the show. He performed twice, including a duet of “True Colors” with Cyndi Lauper.

“It was a big year for sweatpants. Decided to give my favorite pair a well-deserved break tonight. #RockinEve,” Ryan tweeted with a photo of his outfit.

If you’re wondering, the few people allowed to watch the ball drop in Times Square this year are all first responders and essential workers who were all selected to receive the special tickets.

FYI: Ryan is wearing Taft shoes. Billy is wearing a gray Rick Owens coat. He is wearing a Botter suit under the red coat.

Lucy Hale is reacting to backlash.

The 31-year-old actress spoke out upon criticism of the Pretty Little Liars reboot in an interview with Us Weekly.

“I sincerely wish everyone the best and I hope it’s a huge success. Some people get angry about a reboot, but I think it’s important to be supportive of up-and-coming artists. I’m curious to see what they do with it!” she said.

Lucy starred in the original ABC Family-turned-Freeform drama from 2010 to 2017. The show also led to one-season spinoffs Ravenswood and Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.

HBO Max announced a series order for Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, which is set in the same universe as the first show with a new story. Find out more about it!

Performers at the event included Andy Grammer and Eric Benet. Presenters included Derek, Anne Heche, and Marg Helgenberger.

Some of the other celebs in attendance at the event included Lucy Hale, Victoria Justice, Mark-Paul Gosselaar with wife Caitriona McGinn, Jovan Adepo, Pia Toscano, Loni Love, Hilary Roberts, Keltie Knight, and Logan Shroyer.

The event raised over $1.4 Million to benefit the Race to Erase MS and its Center Without Walls program, a collaboration of top MS research centers working together as a team on ground-breaking research with the goal of treating and, ultimately, finding a cure for MS.

The event honored Multiple Sclerosis (MS) advocate and Center Without Walls founder Nancy Davis’s son Jason, who passed away earlier this year, with a very special posthumous “Medal of Hope.”

Lucy Hale is opening up about auditioning for the role of Anastasia Steele in the movie Fifty Shades of Grey.

The casting process for the movie happened in the summer of 2013, when Lucy was starring on the Freeform series Pretty Little Liars. The role ended up going to Dakota Johnson.

“I was very young. It had to have been, not 10 years ago, it was a while ago and I was mortified,” Lucy told the Associated Press about her audition. “It wasn’t actual scenes from the movie, but it was a very sexually forward monologue and I didn’t really even know what I was saying in the audition. I was a little naive about it all, but yes, I did audition. I obviously didn’t get the part, but it was good for me because it scared the crap out of me to do an audition [like that].”

Lucy previously talked about her audition during a Cosmopolitan cover story in 2014.
