  • Winona Ryder Show, “Show Me A Hero”, To Be Aired In Australia

    Winona Ryder is picking up some speed in her career lately.

    Winona Ryder‘s new HBO show, Show Me a Hero, is heading overseas.

    The show stars Winona Ryder and is created by David Simon of Treme and The Wire and directed by Paul Haggis of Crash.

    It will air on Foxtel’s Showcase in Australia.

    Winona Ryder’s new show is expected to air beginning on August 17th.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj5Nt-HoBhw

    On HBO’s website the show is described as a six-part miniseries based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Lisa Belkin.

    It is explained that the show “explores notions of home, race and community through the lives of elected officials, bureaucrats, activists and ordinary citizens in Yonkers, NY.”

    It goes on to say, “In an America generations removed from the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, the young mayor (Oscar Isaac) of a mid-sized city is faced with a federal court order to build a small number of low-income housing units in the white neighborhoods of his town.”

    It continues, “His attempt to do so tears the entire city apart, paralyzes the municipal government and, ultimately, destroys the mayor and his political future.”

    Sounds interesting!

    Winona Ryder‘s name is also coming to the surface again as yet another remake of Little Women gets ready to begin production.

    Winona Ryder starred in the 1994 remake of Little Women alongside Susan Sarandon, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, and Christian Bale.

    NCIS actor Michael Weatherly and writer Alexis Jolly are reportedly on board for the project. The new version is described as a “hyper-stylized, gritty adaptation” of Louisa May Alcott’s iconic 1868 novel.

    The new version will still follow the lives of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy but this time in dystopian Philadelphia. They come together to survive, unravel a conspiracy, oh, and also kill each other.

    That also sounds interesting!

    What do you think of Winona Ryder’s new show? Will you give it a shot?

  • Natasha Lyonne On The Possibility Of Nicky’s Return: “Who Knows?”

    Natasha Lyonne shocked Orange is the New Black fans when her character, Nicky Nichols, made a sudden and dramatic departure to Maximum Security after only three episodes into the new season.

    While Natasha Lyonne’s character had shown self-destructive behavior and a tendency toward addiction, most fans simply weren’t expecting such a dramatic exit for Nicky.

    Natasha Lyonne gave an interview to TV Guide to elaborate on the situation and answer the question everyone wants to know: Will Nicky be back?

    As to whether or not Nicky was rightfully hauled off, Natasha Lyonne was clear, saying, “I think it was very appropriate. I think when people are self-destructive it has big consequences.”

    She added, “And I think what’s so excellent about Orange Is the New Black is that, as funny as it is, it’s always grounded by the stakes of the situation these characters are in.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUZqBM2roQo

    So, will Nicky be back? It seems not even Natasha Lyonne herself knows the answer to that one, but she’s with her fans in hoping that it could materialize.

    She said, “I certainly don’t know what’s in Jenji’s mind, but I would love to move inside of Jenji’s mind because it is a vast and endless landscape of imagination.”

    She added, “So, who knows? And I could certainly see a million different avenues to go down… I mean, I love this show so much. I love everybody that I’ve gotten to work with. And I’m a big fan of the whole situation.”

    Yes, there are many fans of the whole situation, clearly.

    What do you think of the swift and shocking departure of Natasha Lyonne’s character? Do you hope to see Nicki back someday?

  • Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Not In A Hurry To Split Up

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are still getting that shocking divorce, but they are taking their time, according to People.

    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were married for 10 years in a dream Hollywood situation before they surprised everyone and announced their plans to divorce at the end of June.

    However, instead of rushing to the mediator’s table to divvy up their lives and leave each other alone, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are taking it slow and easy for the kids.

    A source said that Ben Affleck will be spending most of the summer in Atlanta where Jennifer Garner has the kids while she films her movie, Miracles from Heaven.

    The source added, “[Jennifer]’s finishing a film, so there hasn’t been like, ‘Okay, let’s get this done now,’ because they always were like, ‘This is happening and still moving forward.’”

    Thanks to my friend Bismack Biyombo for joining @EasternCongo advisory board. Hope you're enjoying the #Congo.

    They added, “I don’t think they’re talking about it.”

    While they’re not talking about it, the rest of the world is.

    Rumors as to what caused the collapse of Jennifer Garner’s marriage to Ben Affleck have been relentless, and mostly focused on Ben.

    Most recently, Ben Affleck was accused of having an affair with his and Jennifer Garner’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, 28.

    A source close to Ouzounian told Us Weekly that during Ben and Jennifer Garner’s separation, “They would hang out without the kids. And they were very flirty.”

    They allegedly also spent some time alone together at Affleck’s rented LA house on July 17th.

    The same source said, “She says Ben really, really likes her. She’s saying this is true love.”

    But, a rep for Ben isn’t taking the accusations lying down. He responded, “The story is complete garbage and full of lies. It’s shameful. We are considering legal options.”

    What do you think about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s approach to their divorce?

  • Chelsea Handler Talks New Talk Show And Funny Women

    Chelsea Handler Talks New Talk Show And Funny Women

    Chelsea Handler may not be doing Chelsea Lately anymore, but after an ugly end to the show last summer, she says she is so ready to move on.

    Known for her blunt and truthful opinions on current events and issues, Chelsea Handler just had to have a talk show somewhere.

    Chelsea Lately had an immense following and a great fan base which will now be able to see her on Netflix.

    At the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour on Tuesday, Chelsea Handler admitted that she had to start somewhere, saying she “had to get my brain working again” before her new stint on Netflix.

    But, Chelsea Handler took the high road and didn’t criticize her former network.

    My family.

    A photo posted by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on

    She said, “I’ve said enough … I don’t think anyone else needs to hear me bitch about E!.”

    In fact the only mention Chelsea Handler made of the incident was a quick reference to a character flaw that helped do her show in. She said, “That’s the good thing about me — I’m always telling the truth.”

    Suck suck goose.

    A photo posted by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on

    That is no lie. Chelsea Handler has never been afraid to tell it like she sees it. Or show her boobs. Or her naked bum.

    And, Chelsea Handler is definitely not afraid of any criticism of herself or any other woman.

    In response to a comment made by Michael Eisner that it is “impossible to find” a woman that is both pretty and funny, she didn’t mince words.

    Chelsea Handler said of Eisner’s comment, “It’s just a really stupid thing to say. What, as soon as your pretty, your funny genes get taken away? It’s just such a stupid notion.”

    Chunk and I are getting ready to watch the east coast feed of #LeahTLC. New season for my big mama.

    A photo posted by Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) on

    She added, “I think men a lot of times like to celebrate less attractive women who are funny. Pretty girls come along and they’re a little more threatened.”

    Are you excited to see what Chelsea Handler will do with her new show?

  • Ireland Baldwin And Father, Alec, Have Clearly Buried The Hatchet After Infamous “Thoughtless Pig” Voicemail

    Ireland Baldwin and her dad, Alec Baldwin were not on great terms for a while after Alec’s divorce from Kim Basinger.

    In fact, I think most of us recall the voicemail wherein Alec Baldwin called Ireland Baldwin, 11 at the time, a rude, thoughtless pig.

    The voicemail to Ireland Baldwin included such gems as: “You are a rude, thoughtless little pig,” and, “You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being.”

    He also said, “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned.”

    He added, “Once again I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.”

    But, all that is clearly water under the bridge for Ireland Baldwin and Alec Baldwin.

    Ireland Baldwin posted a pic to Instagram which showed her and Alec Baldwin mocking the years-ago incident.

    If I Were A Pig… I would be Rude and Thoughtless of course!

    A photo posted by Ireland Basinger Baldwin (@irelandbbaldwin) on

    Alec also enjoyed copying Ireland Baldwin’s sultry stance on the red carpet for the N.Y.C. premiere of Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation on Monday, according to People.

    And it seems Ireland Baldwin is no stranger to posting sweet messages about her father.

    Happy Father's Day AB

  • Elsa Pataky Outshines Chris Hemsworth At “Vacation” Premiere

    Elsa Pataky did the unthinkable. She out-glorified her husband, Chris Hemsworth, at the LA premiere of his new movie on Monday.

    The Vacation star and Elsa Pataky looked amazing and man, does he clean up nice.

    Chris Hemsworth wore a simply and classy suite, while Elsa Pataky worked a blush-colored lace mini dress and incredible nude stilettos.

    Elsa Pataky’s dress was detailed in flowers with a ribbon waist accent.

    Elsa Pataky was there to support her hubby in his new role as Stone Crandall in the National Lampoon’s Vacation sequel.

    It’s nice to see Chris Hemsworth in anything, and it seems his co-stars may have sometimes had a difficult time not focusing on his presence, especially when it came to trying on a few prosthetic, um, man pieces.

    Christina said, “We had all been standing at the bottom of the stairs after he had been doing some fittings upstairs; like should it get into position to go to the left or go to the right, longer, shorter … So finally they narrowed in on the hero penis, I guess! He came down and we were all clapping …”

    But, it wasn’t just his incredible good looks and willingness to prance around in boxer briefs that made Applegate appreciate all he had to offer as an actor.

    She said, “He’s this funny Australian dude who is really good at accents and he’s amazing and game for anything. When someone can make me laugh and is good at they’re job … I was definitely impressed.”

    Are you excited to see Elsa Pataky’s hubby in the new Vacation?

  • Kate Winslet Spontaneously Recreates “Titanic” Scene With Bear Grylls

    Kate Winslet braved the outdoor adventure set before her with the help of famous outdoorsman and survivalist Bear Grylls.

    Grylls has become something of a survivalist guide to the stars with his new show, Running Wild with Bear Grylls.

    On a cliffside in Wales, as Kate Winslet was dangling by what looked like no more than a rope, she decided to recreate her famous scene from Titanic.

    You can probably guess the one and you’ve probably recreated it yourself at some point in your life.

    Yep, the “I’m flying!” scene at the front of the boat.

    Tonight I take #KateWinslet on a journey through Wales! Tune in at 10/9c on NBC! #RunningWild

    A photo posted by Bear Grylls (@beargrylls) on

    Kate Winslet spontaneously spouted her lines from the iconic scene after Bear Grylls had her take her hands off the rope and spread her arms.

    Seemingly unamused that Kate Winslet is reciting lines while dangling from a cliff side, Bear Grylls said, “Kate, do you trust me?”

    To which Kate Winslet replied, “You jump, I jump, right?”

    She added, “Alright, come on, get me down this f—king thing.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7yek23SGEw

    Running Wild with Bear Grylls has become immensely popular since the first episode starring Zac Efron in a two-day long journey through the wild Catskill mountains.

    Their journey began with a jump out of a helicopter before embarking on 40-mile journey through the mountains.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWwPk0gX3YE

    For Zac Efron, the biggest reason to do the show, he admitted, was to hang out with Bear Grylls.

    The two of them repelled over slippery rocks and ate nuts, jerky, and worms.

    #Repost @nbcrunningwild with @repostapp. ・・・ Don’t look down. #RunningWild

    They also bonded. Like men.

    Zac opened up to Bear, and the rest of us really, about life as an actor and his stint in rehab. In return, Bear Grylls admitted that he can’t dance.

    There were even jokes about mixing up pee bottles and water bottles, snuggling, and even goodnight kisses.

    It’s great to see Kate Winslet get in touch with her inner outdoor woman. Don’t you think? Have you been watching? What’s your favorite episode so far?

  • Shailene Woodley Photographed On “Allegiant” Set In Costume

    Shailene Woodley is one busy girl!

    After her immense success with Divergent and Insurgent, Shailene Woodley is busy filming the next installment, Allegiant, which is due to be in theaters on March 18th.

    Shailene Woodley recently gave photographers a peak at her Allegiant costume while getting some lunch on set, and she looks amazingly fit.

    Of course Shailene Woodley would have to be super fit to take on the action that Tris demands in this role!

    Shailene Woodley is not only focused on Allegiant, she is also involved in the upcoming Snowden, which is based on the career of Edward Snowden and how he went from Army recruit to the most wanted man in the world.

    — Peter Miles way of portraying him was just perfect. —— Q: Noen på Norway Cup i år? ——

    The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden. Shailene Woodley plays Snowden’s girlfriend, Lindsay Mills.

    Zachary Quinto, Scott Eastwood and Nicolas Cage are also onboard.

    “I wanted to leave. But I fell in love with Tris Prior. I couldn't leave her.” —Tobias Eaton; Insurgent (2015)

    The movie, Snowden, is based off of two different books. The Snowden Files by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena were both consulted to make this movie come to life.

    Whether or not Edward Snowden himself will get to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt play him or Shailene Woodley play his girlfriend remains unknown, as Edward Snowden is still hiding in Russia.

    He faces 30 years in prison and other forms of serious backlash for leaking classified information about the NSA’s spying program.

    Are you excited to see Shailene Woodley in her upcoming films?

  • Diane Kruger, Elizabeth Banks Join Venice Film Festival Jury

    Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Banks have joined the list of huge names for the 2015 Venice Film Festival jury.

    The jury will be made up of nine members with Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron serving as president of the jury.

    Diane Kruger is a German-born actress.

    Diane Kruger is best known for her roles as Bridget von Hammersmark in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, Abigail Chase in the National Treasure movies, and Helen in Troy.

    Elizabeth Banks is best known for her role as Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games movies, but has made a move to directing.

    After doing four movies with the cast of The Hunger Games, Banks became rather close with her co-stars.

    During an appearance with Jennifer Lawrence at Comic-Con this year, Banks gave her reasons for trying her hand at directing.

    Guess how many days you have to wait until the new @TheHungerGames: Mockingjay Part 2 trailer comes out?

    A photo posted by Elizabeth Banks (@elizabethbanks) on

    “Not a lot of ladies get to direct movies, and not a lot of ladies get to be in movies and I like to say that even Jennifer Lawrence, who’s the most famous actress in the world, gets not one, but two male costars,” Banks said of leading men Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.

    She then told Jennifer Lawrence, “You’re a guy’s girl. Like, you basically have a penis. You have a man’s career now!”

    Elizabeth Banks added, “I started producing and directing because I knew I had more to offer an industry that clearly didn’t expect too much from me. Looks and age don’t play any part in directing a movie. It makes for a refreshing change.”

    In her directoral debut Elizabeth Banks took the helm for Pitch Perfect 2, which was a huge success.

    Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Banks will make for an outstanding addition to the jury for the Venice Film Festival. Don’t you think?

  • Sandra Bland: Community Of Hempstead May Not Feel Racism Portrayed By Media

    Sandra Bland has been buried and her friends and family, as well as their supporters, continue to search for any injustice that may have been done.

    Though the evidence is mounting to support the idea that Sandra Bland likely did, indeed, commit suicide in her jail cell, the case has shed some light on what some consider an already racially tense location with a distant history of KKK violence.

    Long before the case of Sandra Bland ever surfaced, Waller county was known as “Six Shooter Junction” due to white supremacist violence.

    Of course, that could be said for hundreds of locations across the south and around the nation. And even to the present day, no doubt remains that there are some people on both sides who are still racist.

    However, the residents who walk the streets of Hempstead every day and were willing to give their opinion on the matter to the Chicago Tribune don’t seem to be totally sure about the racial tension allegations as they relate to the death of Sandra Bland.

    For instance, an elderly watermelon vendor, Sylvester Nunn, said, “I’ve lived here my whole life. I know how it could happen, but nothing’s happened to me. It’s been all right with me.”

    And take this comment from the mayor of Hempstead, who happens to be black and the city’s fourth black mayor since the 80’s.

    He said, “It’s a sad thing. It is not a true reflection of people who live here. It creates a level of animosity that may not be true. The community has changed tremendously.”

    And even the county District Attorney tried to dispell insinuations of racial tension following the death of Sandra Bland.

    DA Elton Mathis said the county “does and did have a lot of things that went on here that we’re not particularly proud of, as far as racial interaction.”

    He also said he could understand how people “looking at some of the bad things in our past would jump to the conclusion that this was a murder and not a suicide.”

    But, he added, “people need to realize there is a new generation in control of government here … a more progressive generation.”

    Of course, that doesn’t take away the right that Sandra Bland’s family has to finding out the truth, whatever it may be, about what happened to their daughter, sister and friend.

    The possibility remains that foul play could have been involved.

    What do you think happened to Sandra Bland in that prison cell? Do you feel she was a victim of racial violence?

  • Ashley Madison Hack Boosts Business For Private Investigation Firms, Divorce Lawyers

    Ashley Madison is on the minds of many a married cheater today as the suspense surrounding a possible data leak grows.

    Cheating website Ashley Madison, the slogan of which is “Life is short. Have an affair.”, was hacked recently by a team of hackers called The
    impact Team.

    The Impact Team threatened the parent company of Ashley Madison, Avid Life Media, to release details of the sites 37 million clients. That information would include real names, credit card numbers, sexual preferences, explicit photos, private chat messages and emails.

    The hackers took issue with Ashley Madison’s full delete service, which offered a complete scrub of personal information from the site for $19.99. The Impact Team has proven that the information doesn’t, in fact, get deleted. They say they will release the information if the site isn’t taken down.

    While the news of the Ashley Madison hack is bad news for many marriages, it’s good news for businesses that profit from private investigations and divorce.

    Danny Boice, founder of Trustify, which is a Washington D.C. business that connects people with low-cost private investigators, says he’s “99%” sure that The Impact Team will release the Ashley Madison info soon. When they do, Trustify will post those names for people to search.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SHd3N1w-F8

    That’s when Danny Boice will cash in.

    “She might suddenly wonder about all those late nights at the office, those frequent business trips to the same city. The best way to get peace of mind is to hire a PI to see what else might be out there.”

    Another business that could soon benefit from the Ashley Madison hack is that of the divorce lawyer.

    Nancy Chemtob, a partner at the matrimonial and family law firm Chemtob Moss & Forman, said of the Ashley Madison hack, “I saw the story last night and my partner came in this morning and said, ‘Forget about same-sex marriages doubling the practice. This is going to be a balloon.’”

    What do you think of the business boom from the Ashley Madison attack?

  • Rebecca Ferguson Upstages Tom Cruise On Red Carpet At “Rogue Nation” Premiere

    Rebecca Ferguson worked with a world-class movie star, Tom Cruise, while filming Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.

    But, Rebecca Ferguson, while lesser known than Cruise, wasn’t going to be outdone at the world premiere of their movie.

    Rebecca Ferguson was stunning at the Vienna world premiere in a seriously form-fitting red Elie Saab gown with an unthinkable slit up the side.

    Rebecca Ferguson accented her bold dress with sky-high heels, soft hair and natural makeup.

    What an amazing look on Rebecca Ferguson!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BG5VZbMPzg

    Rebecca Ferguson and her superstar counterpart, Tom Cruise, both looked thrilled at the premiere.

    But, likely not as thrilled as Rebecca Ferguson was to meet Tom Cruise in the beginning.

    She told Elle.com, “I think the nerves came after realizing I just met him because it was so fast. I met him basically 17 hours after I had descended from my camel Barbie [while shooting a scene in Morocco for another film]. And it was more of the efficiency of meeting him.”

    She added, “It was like the car to the flight [to London], ‘I have to do this, who’s taking care of my son? What am I doing?’ And then boom, there he was! And we laughed and had fun and then I left the room going: What the — just happened?”

    The reason for her nerves? A teenage crush, not long forgotten.

    Rebecca Ferguson also told Elle of her crush, “I was on the treadmill running in the gym and I had forgotten that when I was young, I must’ve seen Interview with the Vampire: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, good combo.”

    She added, “And, I had a recurring dream about him, like a love dream. I was in love with him [and] I was 11, 12? He was probably my one crush.”

    Careful, Rebecca Ferguson! That’s how things started out with Katie Holmes: a teenage crush come to life.

    Are you excited to see Rebecca Ferguson in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation?

  • Kristen Bell Leaves Adorable “Frozen” Voicemail For Girl With Cancer

    Kristen Bell, also known as the voice of Anna from Frozen, took time out of her undoubtedly busy schedule to make a little girl’s day.

    Kristen Bell left a voicemail for 6-year-old Avery Huffman, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last month.

    In a grand reprise of her voice character, Anna, Kristen Bell greets Avery by name.

    Avery is clearly thrilled and a little stunned at the voicemail from Kristen Bell and the look on her face is priceless.

    Kristen Bell said on the voicemail, “I hope you’re having a great day and playing a lot with Hoppy Jumpy! I love bunnies!”

    Kristen Bell continues perfectly in character when she interrupts the voicemail at one point to deliver a message from her sister, Queen Elsa, which states that Avery will be made an honorary queen of Arendelle.

    Kristen Bell added, “I think you’ll make a great princess! Well, I got to go build a snowman with my friend Olaf now!”

    What an adorable way for Kristen Bell to cheer up a tiny cancer patient!

    I’m sure Avery will be first in line to see Frozen 2 when it comes out. Fans and characters alike have been suffering from the Frozen fever since the announcement that Disney was taking on a sequel to the unbelievably popular movie.

  • Jillian Johnson, Louisiana Theater Shooting Victim, Remembered

    Jillian Johnson was a devoted member of the community in Lafayette, Louisiana, as a shop owner, musician/performer, and artist.

    Jillian Johnson was also one of the victims of the Louisiana theater shooting on Thursday.

    In her community of Lafayette, Jillian Johnson was an important presence.

    A fellow band member of Jillian Johnson’s folk/cajun band, The Figs, said of her, “I wish there were words to penetrate the hearts of the people watching or listening (to) the news and to make them understand the kind of person Jillian was.”

    She added, “Jillian made everything more beautiful. She worked to make Lafayette a more beautiful place, and one of the most tragic things that has ever happened here took her. She was a mother, a wife, a sister, an artist, a collaborator, a band member, a friend to so many.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu1dMrnf7U8

    Besides being a member of The Figs, Jillian Johnson co-owned the Red Arrow Workshop with her husband, Jason Brown. The Red Arrow Workshop is described as a gift, apparel, accessories and toy shop, and Jillian worked there on a constant basis running the shop or as an artist.

    Jason Brown wrote on the shop’s Facebook page, “Our hearts are shattered. We will love you forever. She was a once-in-a-lifetime gal. A mother, daughter, sister and a truly exceptional wife.”

    He added, “She was an artist, a musician, an entrepreneur and a true renaissance woman. She was the love of my life and I will miss her always.”

    What a terrible tragedy for Jillian Johnson’s family. Hopefully they can find closure in the coming days.

  • Natalie Portman Feels Sexier In Paris

    Natalie Portman Feels Sexier In Paris

    Natalie Portman is obviously enjoying life in Paris with her husband, Benjamin Millepied, and their four-year-old son, Aleph.

    For Natalie Portman, transitioning from life in America was likely an interesting experiment, but she has clearly benefitted.

    For one thing, Natalie Portman feels very sexy in being a woman from Paris.

    Natalie Portman told French magazine Gala, “I confess, I feel more sexy. It’s so amazing to me that I feel [like] another person.”

    She added, “In Paris, everything seems easier. We can afford not to do much in beauty and still have the beautiful air. The French are more natural than Americans, that’s obvious…I spend my time observing to try to imitate them.”

    #NataliePortman swings onto our #August2015 cover in @J_Mendel, styled by @NatashaRoyt. See more photos on BAZAAR.com.

    A photo posted by Harper's BAZAAR (@harpersbazaarus) on

    I’m fairly certain that most cultures in the world are more natural than Americans, but who’s keeping track? Natalie Portman certainly has the natural beauty to pull off life in Paris if that is the case.

    Natalie Portman may be getting comfortable in her more natural, French-inspired beauty, but she is still a mom and that means insecurity in her mothering abilities. Just like it does for the rest of us.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFIDcMfYa_c

    For example, it has been asserted that the French don’t coddle their children, and Natalie Portman has experienced that already.

    She said, “…And there’s stuff you don’t know you’ll miss until you’re away. Like indoor gyms where kids can just run around and jump. They don’t have those there. [In Paris], if you’re running around on the playground chasing your kid and playing a game, people think you’re nuts.”

    To help with her feelings of parental inadequacies, Natalie Portman did what we all do at some point. She asked her friend.

    Natalie Portman turned to Cate Blanchett when questions of balancing working and being a mom.

    She said, “Very early on, I asked [Cate Blanchett] about being a parent. I said, ‘How do you do it? You’re a mom. You’re the best at what you do.’ She said, ‘You just do. Stressing about it doesn’t help.’”

    Not very specific, but it works. Right?

    What do you think about the advice Natalie Portman received from Cate Blanchett?

  • Ashley Madison Hack Exposes Huge Cheating Population In Canada

    Ashley Madison has yet to be fully exposed, but if data breach info should ever be brought to full light by hacking vigilantes The Impact Team, it could be especially disastrous for Canada.

    Namely, the city of Ottawa. Ottawa appears as a frigid, fairly sleepy city, but apparently it has a hot extramarital culture who make good use of Ashley Madison.

    Ottawa has 883,000 people. 200,000 of those people have profiles on Ashley Madison.

    That is more than a fifth of the population registered on Ashley Madison!

    A few locals have opinions as to why their city would be such big consumers of Ashley Madison, where the slogan is “Life is short. Have an affair.”

    Marriage counselor Nataxja Cini has her theories as to why so many Ottawa residents have covertly sought relationships on Ashley Madison. She said, “In our buttoned-down city, it may not be acceptable to openly explore outside of a committed relationship.”

    Another Ottawa resident had a similar, but more blunt opinion, saying, “In a blue collar city, they’re not going to use a website, they’re going to do it at a bar. Here you can’t run the risk of someone seeing you at a bar doing that… Why do you think everyone goes to Montreal to have a good time? Ottawa is the city fun forgot.”

    Some theorize that political occupations, which abound in the city and are stressful and demanding, may have contributed to the large number of Ashley Madison users.

    In fact, Parliament Hill, with a large political residency, had the most registered users according to Ashley Madison statistics.

    Whatever the reason, as one Ottawa resident put it, “I think a lot of people will be questioned at dinner tonight.”

    Are you sweating the Ashley Madison breach?

  • Sienna Miller, Tom Sturridge: Was Relationship A Front For Daughter?

    Sienna Miller and fiance Tom Sturridge announced recently that they have amicably parted ways after four years and one daughter together.

    However, could it be possible that these two crazy kids might just work it out and be together? It seems Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge just need to get on the same page.

    A source told People, “They are over, but don’t rule out a reunion.”

    The source added, “Tom wanted to get married and have more children. Sienna didn’t. This year everything exploded with Tom in London and Sienna leading a separate life in the U.S. and [her appearance at] Cannes.”

    While Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge were seen recently enjoying a Mediterranean getaway with their daughter, Yahoo reports that the two had already called it quits and were simply holding a united front for Marlowe, 3.

    A source said of Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge’s current relationship, “They seemed to be trying to keep it up for Marlowe but it looks like they had finally come to the conclusion that things are not working for now.”

    The source added, “Sienna values honesty and it seems neither of them wanted to live a lie as their daughter grows older, so they called off their engagement.”

    Sienna Miller is no newbie at broken relationships.

    Sienna Miller famously dated Jude Law from 2004-2006 before they got engaged and ultimately parted ways. They began dating again in 2009 before ending their tumultuous relationship for good in 2011.

    What do you think of the ending of Sienna Miller’s long-term relationship with Tom Sturridge and their reported united front for their daughter?

    Bindi Irwin is a lot like every other teenage girl out there.

  • Ashley Madison Hack: Divorce Lawyers Getting Ready For Business To Boom

    Ashley Madison clients are still waiting (with bated breath, no doubt) to see if their association with the website will be revealed by hacker group The Impact Team.

    The hack on Ashley Madison garnered some really sensitive personal information including names, addresses, credit card info, as well as sexual preferences, nude photos, and private chat conversations.

    Ashley Madison is, of course, a hook-up website for married people. The slogan for the site is “Life is short. Have an affair.”

    That is advice that many an Ashley Madison client are likely wishing they hadn’t taken.

    However, as nervous clients wait to see if their indiscretions will be revealed, it seems one group is prepping for an influx in business: divorce lawyers.

    According to CNN, divorce lawyers could really benefit from this whole scandal.

    Nancy Chemtob, a partner at the matrimonial and family law firm Chemtob Moss & Forman, said, “I saw the story last night and my partner came in this morning and said, ‘Forget about same-sex marriages doubling the practice. This is going to be a balloon.’”

    Chemtob has been seeing at least two clients a month as a result of Ashley Madison. She said that about two thirds of her Ashley Madison-related clients were the ones who signed up for the site and realized they must be missing something in their marriage if they were willing to do so.

    The other third of her Ashley Madison clients were the ones caught cheating on the website.

    Nancy Chemtob explained just how such a thing could happen in a seemingly normal marriage. She said, “Sometimes spouses are so demoralized by their spouse that they’ll end up posting just to see if they get any responses.”

    She added, “A lot of my clients fall in love with [people on the site] or fall in love with the idea of someone telling them they’re tall and handsome when really they’re short and fat. You meet someone who becomes your fantasy.”

    Oh, goodness. If The Impact Team decides to release all of the information they gathered during the Ashley Madison hack, there will be a lot of hell to pay around the country for sure.

    What do you think of the prospect of a boom in business for divorce lawyers thanks to Ashley Madison? Are you worried about the name(s) you might see on the list?

  • Nicole Kidman Gives Tour Of Her Australian Farm, Answers Personal Questions

    Nicole Kidman looked flawless on the latest cover of Vogue in a sequined top and her blonde hair swept to the side.

    But, the most entertaining facet of Nicole Kidman’s photo spread with Vogue was her participation in their famous 73-question interview.

    Vogue joined Nicole Kidman on the Australian farm that she shares with her husband, country singer Keith Urban, and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 7, and Faith, 4.

    The farmhouse that Nicole Kidman calls home was simpler than many famous movie stars’ abodes.

    That goes for what Nicole Kidman holds high in value, as well.

    When Nicole Kidman was asked about her favorite part of living on a farm, she said it was the “simplicity”, the “air”, and the “peace” that go along with it.

    When Nicole Kidman walked through the stunning kitchen and dining area of her home, she tripped on a toy, which prompted her interviewer to ask about the best and worst part of being a mom.

    Nicole Kidman said the best thing about motherhood is “everything — the love, the joy, the purpose,” and the worst thing to her would be “knowing I won’t be here forever so I won’t always be able to take care of them.”

    About her husband, Nicole Kidman admitted that she didn’t like country music much before she met him.

    She said, “I didn’t know him so I couldn’t really be a fan, but now, I’m his biggest fan.”

    Didn’t Nicole Kidman look amazing and happy in her interview?
