Beyoncé and Jay Z Board Luxury Yacht: Get the Scoop!

 XPOSUREPHOTOS.COM And this is how Beyoncé and Jay Z enjoy a little R&R.

The birthday girl and her rapper hubby were spotted Monday boarding a yacht in Formentera, Spain, where the twosome took some time to relax with daughter Blue Ivy.

Queen Bey looked fab as she flaunted her short blond bob, sporting a leopard print cover-up while carrying a large camera. She left her sky-high heels behind as she stepped on the boat barefoot, while the "Tom Ford" singer received a helping hand from the staff.

The twosome appears to have chartered the Galactica Star yacht for their getaway, which features an abundance of A-list amenities, including a sauna, fully equipped bar and a Jacuzzi pool with a glass bottom located on the main deck, which allows for natural light to pour into the beach club directly below.

There's also a stunning balcony outside the master cabin, as well as a helipad on the foredeck, which can also serve as a lounging area.

Custom built in 2013 by Heesen Yachts, the 213-foot, 3-inch ship has an exterior styled by Omega Architects, offers accommodations for twelve guests in six suites and can also carry a crew of 13 onboard.

Scandal is adding a Friend-ly face.

Lisa Kudrow is joining the drama series' upcoming third season in a mysterious recurring role, ABC confirms to E! News.

According to Deadline, who first reported the casting, Kudrow will play a politician in the Kerry Washington-led show. Other details of her role are under wraps at the moment, but this guest arc will mark the actress' first return to network TV since that little-known comedy Friends went off the air in 2004.

Kudrow's recent small screen work includes the criminally short-lived HBO comedy The Comeback, and she can now be seen in her improv series Web Therapy on Showtime.

Scandal star Dan Bucatinsky, who received an Emmy nomination for his recurring role as Cyrus' (Jeff Perry) husband, is also Kudrow's long-time producing partner. He recently talked to us about the "heart-pounding" new season.

"Scandal is going to start the season just moments after we left Olivia Pope last season, moments after the car door opens," Bucatinsky said. "We were all very excited to see that, 'Oh we're going to keep going!' We're excited to get to the excitement of understanding the relationship between Olivia and her dad. [We can't wait to find out] who leaked the information that Olivia was the mistress of the president and putting out that fire and all of the crazy. To me, it feels like a crack in the boat. And that there's more and more cracks in the boat."

No word yet on whether Kudrow's character name will be Regina Phalange.

Scandal returns on Thursday, Oct. 3 on ABC.

Remember when we said in Spoiler Chat this morning that we will meet Ryan Hardy's (Kevin Bacon) niece in season two? Well, now we have a face to the character!

90210 alum Jessica Stroup has been cast as new series regular Max, E! News has confirmed. Max is an NYPD cop working in the Intel Division and will become a very valuable ally to her uncle Ryan. Don't you wish you were related to Kevin Bacon, even in fictional form? Us, too.

We also hinted at the fact that something might be brewing between her and Agent Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore), because their first interaction is full of sparks, even if they aren't of the romantic persuasion. You know what they say: There is at thin line between hate and doing it. Or something like that.

Another new face joining the cast in season two is Beautiful Creatures' Tiffany Boone as Mandy Lang, an impressionable young girl who gets wrapped up in Joe Carroll's (James Purefoy) cult, whether she likes it or not.

EW.com first reported the news of Stroup's and Boone's casting.

As we first revealed, Homeland alum Valerie Cruz has also signed on for the second season of The Following as NYPD detective Gina Mendez, who will work closely with Agent Weston. Other recent castings include Connie Nielsen (Gladiator) as a love interest for Ryan and Dexter actor Sam Underwood as a new bad guy the FBI will undoubtedly be chasing eventually. 

The Following is set to return in January 2014.

Parenthood Season 5 Scoop: Office Star Cast to Come Between Fan Favorite Couple

WireImage

Is the marriage of Joel (Sam Jaeger) and Julia (Erika Christensen) in danger?!

The Office's David Denman is set to join the cast of Parenthood in a recurring role of Ed, we've exclusively learned. A recently unemployed stay-at-home dad, Ed meets Julia when they both end up with the least-desirable volunteer job at their children's school. Ruh-roh, watch out Joel!

But Denman's Ed isn't the only new character who could potentially come between Joel and Julia when the NBC family drama returns on Sept. 26...

NEWS: Check out the complete fall TV schedule!

Lost's Sonya Walger (Penny!) has also joined the cast for a multi-episode arc as the sexy and confident Meredith, an architect who is working with Joel on a longterm project. When she first appears in the premiere, she makes Julia feel embarrassed about being a stay-at-home parent, which we're guessing will give her something in common with Ed.

In addition to playing Pam's (Jenna Fischer) fiancée Roy (aka he who will never be as good as Jim) on The Office, Denman's credits include Drop Dead Diva, Traffic Light and Person of Interest. He recently co-starred in Will Smith's After Earth, as well as CBS' Beverly Hills Cop reboot, which was not picked up to series.

Also set to join the cast of Parenthood in season five, which will be a full 22 episodes, is Drop Dead Diva's Josh Stamberg as Carl, a potential new love interest for Sarah (Lauren Graham) who lives in the apartment building she is living in and attempting to manage.

Parenthood returns Thursday, Sept. 26 on NBC.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
