TMZ's Harvey Levin joins Good Day with the latest on R. Kelly and Jussie Smollett's legal troubles.

R&B singer R. Kelly spent the weekend in jail. Lots of people were surprised he couldn't come up with the $100,000 for bail. A friend apparently bailed him out. Then he went to McDonald's. If he was trying to stay away from the cameras, that probably wasn't the best place to go.

Also, police have said Empire star Jussie Smollett staged a hate crime attack on himself hoping to get a pay raise. But some Empire sources are saying that's not the case.
