Talk about a view.

Taking their cues from Lena Dunham, Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd went topless on The View on Monday in what they jokingly claimed was a ploy for ratings.

"You know Lena, she gets press every week for being naked," Shepherd, 46, said after showing a clip from the latest episode of Girls. "So we're jumping on the bandwagon."

"It's true," said McCarthy, 41. 'We want more ratings, too. Take a little time to enjoy our view!"

As the studio audience cheered, the cohosts had just a pair of black boxes covering themselves for TV. And Shepherd joked about that, too.

"Wait a minute," she said to McCarthy. "Look at my box. Why is my big black box so much bigger than yours?"

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys Are a Couple

They've dodged relationship rumors for months. But now – unlike their spy characters on The Americans – the secret (love) life of Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys has been revealed.

PEOPLE has learned that Russell, 38, and Rhys, 39, are a couple.

The two stepped out for date night on March 27, stopping into New York's The Public Theater, where they watched the Steven Soderbergh directed-play The Library. They sat together and theater-goers spotted Russell stroking Rhys's hair and the two whispering before they left together.

When asked about his rumored relationship with Russell, Rhys told PEOPLE last month, "That's the best [rumor] I love." He stopped short of confirming the relationship, but said his mother even asks about the rumors. "I tell her, 'You have to take off your Google alerts', " he said.

The couple's recent theater date wasn't the first time they were seen getting close. Earlier this year the two took a stroll through Brooklyn Heights. "They were walking super close together and laughing, even stopped to look at some furniture on the street," an onlooker said of the pair at the time. "They looked very much like a couple."

The new romance comes after Russell's announcement last December that she and Shane Deary, her husband of nearly 7 years, were separating. The former couple have a son River, 6, and a daughter Willa, 2. The actress's rep told PEOPLE at the time, "The separation is amicable and their focus is on their children."

Fans waiting for Chris Evans to speak about his so-called "retirement" on Monday's The Tonight Show turned out to be disappointed.

While silent on the topic of last week's widely quoted Variety interview, in which he announced plans to quit acting, Evans instead talked about his workout routine for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

"We tried to do a little bit more gymnastics," he said. "Balance beams," he joked, adding, "I had a whole ribbon routine."

"That's what we want to see in IMAX 3D!" Fallon replied.

Though Fallon didn't bring up the Variety interview, Evans did tell Good Morning America on Monday: "By no means am I planning on retiring. It's kind of a silly statement. But I certainly am going to try to focus a bit more on directing at this point."

Cory and Topanga are officially back together on TV. And they have kids!

It's been 14 years since Boy Meets World when off the air, but Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel are back to reprise their roles on a brand new Disney Channel series.

Set in New York City, Girl Meets World picks up more than 10 years after Boy Meets World left off. The former adolescent flames are now married and raising two children, 7th-grade daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard) and son Auggie (August Maturo). The story is centered around Riley, the title character.

"Girl Meets World is a new show for a new generation that will be rooted in the same kind of honest, comedic storytelling about coming of age and the importance of family and friendship that made Boy Meets World so popular," says creator Michael Jacobs.

And when it comes to bringing Topanga back, Danielle Fishel couldn't be happier.

"When the news leaked that Girl Meets World was in the making, literally days after I first heard about the project myself, Michael Jacobs and I had a conversation and we talked about how we were both so blown away by the reactions from all of you," she writes on her blog about fans of the series.

"We felt honored. We felt nostalgic. We felt touched by the excitement in your comments, tweets, Tumblr and Facebook posts. But most of all, we felt inspired. We felt inspired to bring these characters back to life and to tell you more of their stories."

The show is set to premiere this summer.

It wasn't the farewell Billy Dee Williams originally anticipated, but when the Star Wars icon bid adieu to Dancing with the Stars on Monday night because of injury, he held his head high.

"I had a great time," the star, 77, told PEOPLE just after announcing his decision to depart. "I had a blast. I wish I could continue."

Despite coming in with the lowest score just before the first elimination, the fans voted to bring Williams back for another week of competition.

"I'm sorry that I'm not going to be around, but my back just can't handle it," he said. "My health is more important."

Williams's partner Emma Slater is in full support of the actor's early exit from ABC's hit show.

"I knew the back was a problem for Billy," she told PEOPLE. "We were already kind of taking it slowly, but for me, surprisingly, this decision wasn't as difficult as it could have been because it really was the right thing to do. We made peace with that. We more directed it as a celebration of the time we've had together."

Williams, who credits his back problems with years of film stunts, doesn't have regrets.

"I can't say it's not worth it," he said. "I did what I did and I had a good time and made a lot of money."

Although he complained mid-interview that his "back is really hurting," he explained that he's "been advised not to do surgery," adding, "I don't know what I'm going to do about it."

Nicole Kidman Forgoes Pants, Bra for Latest Sexy Jimmy Choo Ads

We know Nicole Kidman‘s ads for Jimmy Choo are meant to be all about the accessories, but we’d say that her rocking bod is at least tied for top billing. She shows it off (again!) in a thigh-grazing blazer — and nothing else — for her latest round of ads for the designer label.

The ads, shot by Will Vanderperre, echo the rocker vibe of the boots she’s wearing (there’s lots of smoldering glances and climbing on motorcycles in heels here). “It was fun to embrace a more rebellious spirit for Jimmy Choo,” Kidman said in a statement. “We listened to a lot of great rock music to get in the mood for the shoot.”

PHOTOS: What’s her best side? Vote now!

The actress, 46, has done “glamorous sexy” for her ads before, but in the latest ones, she pulls out all the stops, giving model face and legs for days that would make Barbie jealous.

What do you think of Kidman’s ads? Anything surprise you?

Manchester Orchestra - After The Scripture lyrics

After the scripture

We started to pray

Holdin' our hands up

Waitin' for change

I hardly knew you

You knew me the same

So we built a shelter

While we turned the weak away

Your mother beside me

Rattlin' her brain

Makin' an offering

Pacing the pain

We took a picture

Placed it in frame

We built a fire

And we turned the cold away

And I know it's not

What you desire

This pain can't crumble

Won't soon retire

Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire

Put away the positives and let that good girl die

Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh

So I paced around the backyard for awhile

That was bee sting

A speck in my eye

A casual movement

A thief in the night

Now I can't forget you

Sword in my side

Candle that burned me

Deliver me light

And I know it's not

What you desire

This pain can't crumble

Won't soon retire
