  • Lucy Lawless On Her New “Salem” Role

    Lucy Lawless will be joining the cast of Salem when it returns for its second bone-chilling season.

    Of course, Lucy Lawless is incredible in everything from Xena: Warrior Princess to Spartacus to her milder stint on Parks and Recreation.

    However, Lucy Lawless‘ role in Salem is anything but mild and is like nothing she’s ever done before.

    Lucy Lawless described her character, saying, “I’m playing one of the last of the original witches. She’s thousands of years old and has had many incarnations. She often died horrible deaths. She’s a real survivor!”

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

    She added, “She now has stumbled across Salem, and Mary Sibley (Salem’s most powerful and ruthless witch, played by Montgomery), who is the most fascinating person the countess has met in hundreds of years. She becomes fixated on Mary, which means inevitably that I must consume her. But Mary’s not going to go easily.”

    Of course, Salem is all about magic, but if you haven’t seen the show yet, know that it is not the kind of magic and witch shenanigans that you may be used to.

    Lucy Lawless said of the difference, “It’s all natural magic. Nobody’s throwing lightning bolts. She’s a psychological murderer as well as a practical murderer, so the joy of the character is in brinksmanship. Murder in the parlor is what intrigues me, and women. Women fighting to the death in this very elevated way. It’s not magic of the Harry Potter variety. Nothing cute going on.”

    That being said, in real life, Lucy Lawless isn’t one to succumb to flights of fancy when it comes to the supernatural.

    Lucy Lawless, when asked if she believes in such things, said, “I’m quite committed to the non-woo-woo life. I really like not feeling like there’s ghosts and goblins around. Why do you want to be scared all the time?”

    She added, “I feel like maybe it’s a choice whether you think they exist or not, and I choose NOT to engage in all that kind of stuff. I’m very happy with the practical world. Life is complicated enough!”

    That is truth right there from Lucy Lawless.

    Are you excited to see Lucy Lawless in action in the upcoming season of Salem?

  • Milla Jovovich Welcomes Baby Girl

    Milla Jovovich and her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, welcomed a baby girl on Wednesday, April 1st.

    Milla Jovovich‘s new bundle is named Dashiel Edan Jovovich-Anderson and she joins her big sister, Ever Gabo, who is seven.

    On Instagram, Milla Jovovich proudly proclaimed the birth of her baby girl.

    She said, “We are so proud to announce the birth of Dashiel Edan Jovovich-Anderson to the world today. She is 7 lbs., 10 oz. and 20 inches long. We love you Dash!”

    Milla Jovovich discussed previously how excited her daughter Ever was to have a new baby sister.

    She said, “I was actually worried if we had a boy, what would happen to him. I was like, ‘I wonder how long he will survive in our house with that little girl pushing him and sticking her foot out and tripping him!’”

    Well, Milla Jovovich doesn’t have anything to worry about, hopefully.

    Milla Jovovich’s rep said, “Milla, her husband Paul and big sister Ever are overjoyed to welcome Dashiel Edan into their family and are all spending some quality bonding time together. Both mama and baby are doing great.”

    Milla Jovovich has been keeping her fans posted on social media concerning the impending arrival of her new little bundle.

    Being very heath-conscious, Milla Jovovich shared lots of pregnancy and diet advice.

    Hey everyone! Long time no post! Well the last two weeks have been exciting! First, FB wouldn’t let me on my account…

    Posted by Milla Jovovich on Friday, March 6, 2015

    On March 31st, Milla Jovovich shared that she was overdue and ready for her baby to come.

    She said, “Hey every1! I’m officially one day overdue with my pregnancy. It could happen anytime, so we’re packed, ready, but on the edge of our seats!”

    What do you think of Milla Jovovich’s little girl’s name?

  • Kim Zolciak Uses Pics Of Her Kids To Prove She Didn’t Have Nose Job

    Kim Zolciak had to defend herself on Tuesday against accusations that she has had work done on her nose.

    As a former real housewife of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak has shared plenty of information as to her changing appearance.

    However, Kim Zolciak says she most definitely did not have a nose job.

    The uproar started after Kim Zolciak posted a pic to Instagram supposedly showcasing a natural (still quite made-up) look.

    It didn’t take long for commentors to accuse Kim Zolciak of having a nose job.

    While Kim Zolciak looks pretty perfect, maybe a little too perfect, people just can’t help themselves.

    In response, Kim Zolciak posted three pics, side by side and in profile, of her, her 18-year-old daughter, Brielle, and her baby daughter, Kaia. All of their noses are admittedly very, very similar.

    I guess we have ALL had nose jobs #GTFOH

    A photo posted by Kim Zolciak-Biermann (@kimzolciakbiermann) on

    It was captioned, “I guess we have ALL had nose jobs #GTFOH”

    Just so you don’t have to look up what the hashtag GTFOH means, like I did, it means “Get the f**k out of here”.

    I mean, if Kim Zolciak did have a nose job, I’m sure she’d document it on a reality show for the world to see and find a way to make a buck, not keep it a secret.

    Last year, Kim Zolciak broadcast her boob job and recovery.

    After the surgery, Kim Zolciak said of the process, “The recovery was easy breezy, nothing like I expected! Dr. Hochstein has it down to a science!”

    She added, “I am super happy. They don’t call him the ‘boob god’ for no reason! I love my new ta-tas!”

    There you have it, two good articles of proof that Kim Zolciak probably didn’t have a nose job. Not yet, anyway.

  • Yolanda Saldivar: Selena’s Murderer 20 Years Later

    Yolanda Saldivar has been a side note in the past few days as the nation observes the 20th anniversary of the murder of Selena Quintanilla, also known simply as Selena.

    The 23-year-old Tejano superpower was shot and killed in 1995 by Yolanda Saldivar.

    Yolanda Saldivar’s name isn’t as important as Selena’s in this time of remembrance, and may even be shunned, but it is interesting to take a look back on that time, 20 years ago, to one of the most shocking crimes in music history.

    Yolanda Saldivar‘s story is perplexing. Saldivar, who was 35 at the time was an unassuming woman who was a huge fan of Selena’s. So much so, that she was the president of Selena’s fan club.

    However, things turned dark for Yolanda Saldivar when members of Selena Quintanilla‘s family confronted her about missing money from the fan club and Selena’s fashion boutiques on March 9th.

    Two days later, Yolanda Saldivar put down a $100 deposit on a pistol, which she picked up later that month.

    Yolanda Saldivar then told Selena that she had been raped in Mexico. Selena took her to a local hospital in her hometown of Corpus Christie, Tx. The doctors suggested that Saldivar should visit a hospital in San Antonio.

    When Selena took Yolanda Saldivar back to the hotel Saldivar was staying in, an argument about the missing money erupted between the two.

    It was then that Yolanda Saldivar shot Selena in the back, severing an artery. Selena ran from Saldivar, but she passed out in the lobby from the blood loss and died.

    At Yolanda Saldivar’s trial in 1995, defense attorneys for Saldivar tried to make it look like an accidental action by a woman who was distraught and desperate. However, employees at the hotel brought that theory down, saying that Yolanda Saldivar ran after Selena with the gun drawn.

    In October of 1995, Yolanda Saldivar was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

    When asked if she had any final words, Yolanda Saldivar said, “No, sir,” then hung her head and began to cry.

    Yolanda Saldivar still sits in prison while Selena’s friends, family, and fans observe the anniversary of her murder, and she has 10 more years before she even has the possibility of parole.

    Do you remember when Selena was murdered by Yolanda Saldivar?

  • Farrah Abraham Calls Catelynn Lowell “White Trash”

    Farrah Abraham has never been great at making, or keeping, friends.

    The closest thing Farrah Abraham had to a friend amongst her Team Mom cast mates was Catelynn Lowell, but it seems that ship has now sailed.

    In an recap interview with Girl Code host Nessa after the most recent Teen Mom OG episode, Farrah Abraham waited patiently backstage as her cast mates were interviewed.

    Then, when it was Farrah Abraham’s turn, it became clear why she wasn’t in the group with the rest of the girls.

    Farrah Abraham spoke of the tension that became an issue with the group after the 2013 release of her sex tape and the trouble that it caused among the other girls.

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

    She said, “From the past, I’ve never initially got along with the girls.They had some other issues with myself from the get-go. I never spoke to them. I would never confide in them.”

    “Would I ever confide in people who are very fake and not real with themselves and kind of in denial and can’t empathize with someone? Of course not!”

    “Who is she talking about right now?” Amber asked after Farrah Abraham made the comment.

    “All of us!” Catelynn said.

    But, it was Amber Portwood who nailed it.

    She said, “She just burned bridges with everybody. What an idiot.”

    That was in the interview. The real drama with Farrah Abraham happened backstage afterwards.

    It was then that Farrah Abraham said of Catelynn Lowell, that she is “in denial in white trash land.”

    What do you think about Farrah Abraham’s comments about the other girls?

  • Emma Watson Is Officially Most Outstanding Woman

    Emma Watson holds the honor this year of being named the most outstanding woman on the annual list arranged by AskMen.com.

    This list of women, with Emma Watson on the top, is more than just about looks.

    According to publisher James Bassil, “This year’s list is not only a reflection of a shift in the media, but also a shift in modern male thinking. We wanted to steer away from ‘hot’ lists and highlight women who have demonstrated a sheer influence in their industry.”

    He added, “We were looking for women who are doing something new this year, something that demonstrates their versatility and raw talent.”

    Emma Watson is definitely a great choice for this year! Her star has been rising since her days as Hermione on the Harry Potter series and not only for her acting talent.

    Emma Watson has grown into an amazing woman who uses her time and effort to fight for the rights of women everywhere.

    The website said of Emma Watson, “For those who grew up alongside the actors in the Harry Potter movies, it’s strange to see just how damn accomplished Emma Watson has become. Not content with being smart, rich and talented, she’s spent much of her time working to end gender discrimination.”

    It continued, “Hell, at 24 years old, she makes almost everyone seem lazy.”

    That is true, I have actually had that feeling about Emma Watson before!

    UFC fighter Ronda Rousy comes in at number two behind Emma Watson. Behind her at number three is Kim Kardashian, but before you think this may have slipped into “hot list” territory, the website states that she was recognized for her business sense, not showing the entire world her “business”.

    It says, “Those who know Kim from Keeping Up With the Kardashians might be quick to write her off. But if you step back and take a look at the facts, Kim has managed to flip Z-level fame into A-list status through pure business savvy. TV show, check. Perfume line? Check. Coffee-table book? Check. Biggest mobile app of 2014? Check, please. If anyone could break the internet, it’s Kim K. She’s a force to be reckoned with.”

    Ok, point taken.

    What do you think about the top three women in this year’s outstanding women list? Would you have picked Emma Watson for the number one spot?

  • Adrienne Bailon Performs “I Could Fall In Love” On 20th Anniversary Of Selena’s Death

    Adrienne Bailon was immensely affected by the death of Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla 20 years ago.

    Calling Selena her idol, Adrienne Bailon said on Tuesday’s episode of The Real that she is the reason she entered the world of music.

    Adrienne Bailon said, “Twenty years ago, we lost the woman I consider my idol. She single-handedly put Tejano music on the mainstream map and she’s the reason I am who I am today.”

    Adrienne Bailon also performed Selena’s hit, “I Could Fall In Love”.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRr_gAc6H2M

    Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga, was also on the show to talk with Adrienne Bailon and the other ladies about Selena Quintanilla and the impact she has had on the world of music before and after her death at the hands of her fan club president at the age of 23.

    After her performance, Adrienne Bailon told Suzette, “My first songs were Selena,” the singer shared. “Thank you for giving me the honor.”

    Suzette Quintanilla also spoke to Adrienne Bailon and the other The Real co-hosts about Jennifer Lopez’s career-starting role in Selena’s 1997 biopic.

    She said, “Jennifer studied so hard to try to get it as perfect as possible. It is such a hard job to do — to have to mimic somebody and to have to learn how to act and be that person.”

    She added, “I think the one thing that the movie just kind of barely touched on [was that Selena] was so humble and so down to earth. She would really do anything for anybody if she possibly could. That was probably the only thing I could kind of say.”

    As Adrienne Bailon pointed out on The Real, Selena accomplished a rare feat when she brought Tejano music to the mainstream with her crossover hits.

    Selena Quintanilla: 20 Years After Her Murder, Her Sister Keeps Memory Alive

    Selena Quintanilla was murdered 20 years ago on Tuesday, but for her sister, Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga, the pain sometimes feels as fresh as that fateful day.

    Selena Quintanilla was only 23 when she was shot and killed by her fan club president after and argument over missing money from the fan club and Selena’s fashion boutiques.

    As far as her career goes, Selena Quintanilla was just becoming a household name as she began pumping out crossover hits as well as her Tejano hits.

    Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga remembers Selena Quintanilla daily, mainly in talks with their mother.

    She said, “She is always with me, even in the smallest of things. I speak with my mother about it, and together we remember her. We still feel so much pain about losing her, although now it’s a different kind of pain. Some days I feel fine speaking about her, and other days I can’t.”

    She added, “Although it’s been 20 years since she died, we’re fortunate that the public and the fans still care so much for Selena. That means so much to me and my family. It’s wonderful that she’s become such a positive role models for us Latinas.”

    Suzette was the drummer for Selena’s band, Los Dinos, and is proud that their music is still relevant.

    She said, “I’m so proud when I hear our music on the radio, and I think, ‘We’re timeless.’ Twenty years later, and we still sound cool. I can still play “Technocumbia” and make it sound current. That makes me so proud and happy.”

    She added, “It doesn’t feel as though it’s been 20 years. It seems crazy to think that much time has passed.”

    Suzette and her family will be participating in a tribute to Selena Quintanilla at the Fiesta de la Flor festival in their hometown of Corpus Christi, TX.

  • Milla Jovovich Gives Birth To Second Daughter

    Milla Jovovich gave birth to her second child and second daughter with husband Paul W.S. Anderson in the early morning hours of Wednesday.

    Milla Jovovich’s rep confirmed the news, saying, “Milla delivered her daughter Dashiel at 5:45 this morning. Everyone is thrilled and beyond happy!”

    The rep added, “Milla is in cuddle mode with her new daughter!”

    I am so glad Milla Jovovich didn’t play that game where they hide the name forever so that when they make the talk show circuit after baby, the hosts spend time trying to guess the baby’s name.

    You know what I’m talking about.

    Milla Jovovich, star of the Resident Evil franchise, and Paul W.S. Anderson, director, producer and writer of the hit film series, already had one daughter, Ever Gabo, seven. Now they can enjoy being a family of four with the addition of Dashiel Edon.

    I’m sure Milla Jovovich is ecstatic that her new baby is here. She revealed on Facebook Tuesday that she was overdue and patiently waiting.

    Hey every1! I'm officially one day overdue with my pregnancy. It could happen anytime, so we're packed, ready, but on the edge of our seats!

  • Megan Fox Admits She Didn’t Do Much In “Transformers” And Knows That Gave “Not Very Smart” Impression

    Megan Fox continues to battle the impression that she first gave when she starred in Transformers in her early 20’s.

    Her performance lacked, well, everything but eye candy, but Megan Fox admits that she was young and didn’t know what she was doing.

    Megan Fox said, “In Transformers I was a kid. I had no idea what I was doing. There was nothing for me to do [in the film], but then I did nothing and that was my own call.”

    She added, “I don’t take it personally because in some ways I acknowledge and agree. But at the same time, both established comedians and Quentin Tarantino have come up to me and said, ‘I really liked Jennifer’s Body. You were really good in that’.”

    Megan Fox also said, “The people whose opinions matter liked it, so I’m OK with that.”

    Megan Fox also conceded that she knows people don’t think she’s smart.

    She said, “I would say most people assume that I’m not very smart or educated or earnest, because I have this image that I’m sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me.”

    Megan Fox added, “It makes me laugh because I’ve done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that I’m not your typical music video model.”

    While Megan Fox has looked the part of “music video model” through her younger years, she says back then she really didn’t know what she wanted out of life, except that she wanted to be a mom.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9b4WBOIrY8

    Megan Fox said of her Transformer days, “I think there’s a lot of growing personally that I needed to do, to control my passion. I really wanted to be a mom, and I wasn’t yet, and I really struggled with that.”

    She added, “I was just too young to see where I wanted to go.”

    Willow Shields described her injuries, saying, “I kind of hit in an awkward way with my back slightly twisted. I have to admit, I’ve never had the air knocked out of me and it was a little scary. It took me awhile to catch my breath and also realized my ribs really hurt too.”

    The Hunger Games star continued, “Well the doctor checked me out and let me know that I would have some bruising and be really sore for at least two days.”

  • Megan Fox Knows People Don’t Think She’s Smart, But She Disagrees

    Megan Fox has fought the image that the world has of her since she appeared on the Hollywood radar.

    Megan Fox said in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia that she knows what people think about her, but she insists that if they would just look a little closer, she’s not really what they would imagine her to be.

    Megan Fox said, “I would say most people assume that I’m not very smart or educated or earnest, because I have this image that I’m sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me.”

    She added, “It makes me laugh because I’ve done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that I’m not your typical music video model. My life is not about seeking other people’s approval because I know it isn’t going to come.”

    Megan Fox blew the world away with her stunning good looks when she appeared opposite Shia LaBeouf in Transformers. At that time, she was in her early 20’s and she admits that she was inexperienced and a little rough around the edges.

    Megan Fox is ready to concede that she wasn’t fully grown up yet, saying, “I think there’s a lot of growing personally that I needed to do, to control my passion. I really wanted to be a mom, and I wasn’t yet, and I really struggled with that. I was just too young to see where I wanted to go.”

    What kind of world would it be if we were all remembered for who we were when we were 20? Not a good one.

    Over the years, Megan Fox has learned not to take criticism so personally, because everyone has an opinion in Hollywood, but there are certain opinions that matter more than others.

    Megan Fox said, “In Transformers I was a kid. I had no idea what I was doing. There was nothing for me to do, but then I did nothing and that was my own call.”

  • Selena Quintanilla: 20 Years After Her Death, Her Family Keeps Her Legacy Alive

    Selena Quintanilla died 20 years ago today.

    It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years since Selena Quintanilla was shot and killed by Yolanda Saldivar, who was the president of her fan club.

    Selena Quintanilla and Saldivar got into a fight over allegations that Saldivar was embezzling money from the fan club and fashion boutiques. After the argument, Saldivar shot Selena, severing an artery.

    Selena Quintanilla ran to escape Saldivar, but she collapsed in the hotel lobby after losing a lot of blood and later died.

    While the time since Selena Quintanilla was killed has flown by for the rest of us, her family is reminded of her everyday.

    Her family, including Selena’s father, Abraham Quintanilla, her sister, Suzette Quintanilla-Arriaga, and her brother, Abraham Quintanilla III, who also goes by A.B., have dedicated their lives to preserving her memory.

    In the South Texas city of Corpus Christie, where Selena Quintanilla was born and raised, her presence is felt everywhere.

    But, at the epicenter of the memory of Selena Quintanilla stands her family’s entertainment company, Q-Productions, Inc.

    The building is full of offices, recording studios, and even a performance stage. But, at the center of everything is a memorial to their beloved daughter and sister, Selena Quintanilla.

    In the large open room dedicated to Selena Quintanilla, there are many of her awards and plaques on display as well as some of her more memorable performance outfits.

    There is also a large collection of glass eggs, which were a treasured possesion of Selena Quintanilla’s.

    Selena Quintanilla’s sister, Suzette says that sometimes it’s all overwhelming to see everyday, but sometimes it is a sweet reminder of the legacy that her sister left behind.

    She said, “For the most part, it’s a good thing. You can hear her fans talking, and it’s really cool to be honest with you.”

    She added, “I can hear the little ones talking about the egg collection outside my door, and the mother explaining as to why Selena liked eggs. Then there are times when little ones talk amongst themselves, talking about her. That brings me so much joy, because they weren’t even a thought when she passed away but yet they have this love for her, that’s because her parents are passing on her legacy on to them.”

    It’s nice to hear that even though 20 years have gone by since Selena Quintanilla’s passing, her family is still keeping her close to her fans.

  • Kandi Burruss And Tom Tucker: New Reality Show?

    Kandi Burruss is hoping that the third time will work out for her reality show spin-off aspirations.

    Kandi Burruss and her hubby, Tom Tucker, are reportedly working on a new reality show called Meet The Tuckers.

    Tom Tucker and Kandi Burruss have already supplied reality TV fans with plenty of laughs and drama since Burruss’ stint on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    In April of 2013, after RHOA, Kandi Burruss went on to The Kandi Factory wherein she and her team attempted to assist aspiring musicians in making their dreams come true.

    Kandi Burruss’ first attempt at solo reality TV only lasted a measly eight episodes.

    Interview day for another show! @latashawright & @sewjodie got my hair & makeup together! Thanks luvs! #StayWerking

    Posted by Kandi Burruss on Wednesday, March 25, 2015

    Then, in June of 2014, Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker took the opportunity given to them by their own wedding to capitalize on her fame in a second attempt at solo reality TV success.

    Watching myself fall asleep during that yoga session was hilarious!!!! #RHOA

    A photo posted by Kandi Burruss (@kandiburruss) on

    In a five-part series of episodes which chronicled Kandi Burruss‘ wedding to Tom Tucker, Kandi’s Wedding showcased the two families as they became blended.

    That was family drama of a whole different kind. However, that drama is likely what gave Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker a shot at their next reality TV show, Meet The Tuckers.

    This show will reportedly center around Kandi Burruss and Tom Tucker’s life as a married couple.

    Meet The Tuckers is rumored to have already been in production for a few weeks now and is set to take over the slot that will be vacant after this season’s Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    Will you watch Kandi Burruss in Meet The Tuckers?

  • Leah Remini Thanks Those Behind Scientology Documentary For Giving A Voice To Those That Didn’t Have One

    Leah Remini was quick to thank the makers of the HBO documentary on Scientology, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, and support their work.

    Going Clear was meant to expose some of the darker elements behind Scientology and give a clearer understanding of what goes on in their world.

    Leah Remini famously left the religion in 2013, and since then has not been shy about exposing the lesser known and creepier side of Scientology.

    In an interview last year, Leah Remini said, “I don’t want to be known as this bitter, ex-Scientologist,” adding, “I’m not trying to bash anybody and I’m not trying to be controversial. I just want people to know the truth.”

    Well apparently, Leah Remini thinks that Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief did a good job of letting people know the truth.

    The truth for Leah Remini wasn’t pretty. She described her life after her mother brought them to Florida, just before she turned 10, to live in the Scientology compound as miserable and a terrible one for a child to have to endure.

    Leah Remini said, “We went from a middle-class lifestyle [in Brooklyn, N.Y.] to living in a roach-infested motel with six other girls off a freeway in Clearwater.”

    She added, “We were separated from our mother. We had to sign billion-year contracts we didn’t understand. And we kept saying, ‘Why are you doing this to us? Why are we here?’”

    Leah Remini went on to describe the awful child labor that she endured before her mother finally left the compound with her daughters.

    “We were working from morning until night with barely any schooling.”

    She added, “There was no saying no. There was no being tired. There was no, ‘I’m a little girl who just lost her father and everything I’ve ever known.’ There was only, ‘Get it done.’”

    What do you think of Leah Remini’s support of the new Going Clear documentary?

  • Zooey Deschanel’s Baby’s Gender Is….

    Zooey Deschanel doesn’t know. Frustrating, I know.

    She isn’t going to find out if her baby will be a boy or a girl until he or she is born.

    Zooey Deschanel paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and looked adorable as usual in a little red dress that covered her little baby bump.

    As a first time mom, Zooey Deschanel and her fiance Jacob Pechenik are newbies when it comes to the ins and outs of pregnancy.

    Zooey Deschanel had they waiting game in common with Jimmy Kimmel, who also waited until his kids were born before he found out the gender.

    In fact, Jimmy Kimmel asked Zooey Deschanel about a common issue that many couples face when they wait to find out their baby’s gender.

    It seems that sometimes a technician or nurse will sometimes slip and use “he” or “she” and accidentally reveal what the baby is.

    But, so far, Zooey Deschanel has been lucky.

    She said, “The last time the technician was like, ‘Just so you know I always use the pronoun ‘he’ and it’s just because that’s my habit.”

    As far as her pregnancy diet goes, Zooey Deschanel is much more lenient than her pregnant sister, Bones star Emily Deschanel, who practices a strict vegan diet.

    “I eat some vegan meals, though,” Zooey Deschanel said, laughing. “Sometimes you’re hungry and you want food that’s not vegan.”

    The problem, according to Zooey Deschanel, is that there are already so many dietary restrictions when pregnant. Why would you want more?

    Zooey Deschanel said, “You can’t have sushi. You can’t have cheese that tastes good. I would have like four cups [of coffee] a day. Now I can have a half cup, which is a joke.”

    She added, “You can’t have alcohol. I miss that. I like wine.”

    What do you think of Zooey Deschanel’s decision to wait until her baby is born to find out the gender?

  • Kate Beckinsale Says Journalists Keep “Police State” At Bay

    Kate Beckinsale is at the center of a new true crime-inspired drama about Amanda Knox and Meredith Kurcher.

    While Amanda Knox got the good news this past week that her murder conviction remains overturned, the crime that caused the media frenzy is still one of the most fascinating and heinous in recent history, making Kate Beckinsale’s new movie pretty intriguing.

    Kate Beckinsale‘s new movie, Face of an Angel, is loosely based on the book, Angel Face: Sex, Murder, and the Inside Story of Amanda Knox, written by Newsweek and Daily Beast journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau.

    Nadeau has been renamed Simone Ford for the movie, and that is the role that has been taken on by Kate Beckinsale.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DNXa8IJ2hU

    The film focuses a lot on the journalists who fought for any bit of a lead while Amanda Knox’s trials went on.

    This was a group that seems to have fascinated the film’s director, Michael Winterbottom.

    “I met a lot of the journalists who covered the case: people from the British, Italian and American press and it’s not that they’re terrible people, I liked them. They’re thoughtful people, they’re intelligent people, they’re trying to do their job the best they can.”

    He added, “I think they were aware of the problems with the coverage but they just couldn’t find a way of addressing that problem within the system. It’s a market and it’s very clear that as a freelance you have to have something to sell. And that means discovering 10 minutes before everyone else that Amanda Knox is wearing a brown skirt.”

    Kate Beckinsale revealed that she also has a lot of respect for the craft.

    Kate Beckinsale compared journalists to actors, saying, “It was weird for me to be playing the journalist but I realized quickly how important it was for my character that people were giving her information. It isn’t just salacious, it isn’t just what she wore in court. And if we don’t have journalists we live in a police state.”

    She added, “It’s also true that journalists and actors share some qualities. Say you’re having a terrible argument with your boyfriend and you’re breaking up. For an actor there’s this still slight distance where you’re observing the event, thinking, ‘This is what it looks and feels like to be breaking up with someone.’ I think that journalists have that same ability to step back and see things from a different perspective. That doesn’t necessarily make the journalist an a***hole, any more than it does the actor.”

    Are you looking forward to seeing Kate Beckinsale in action in Face of an Angel?

  • Kelly Ripa And Regis Philbin: Why Don’t They Talk?

    Kelly Ripa has been the long-time co-host of the incredibly popular Live! With Kelly and Michael for what seems like forever.

    As the bubbly blonde conversationalist, Kelly Ripa has carried the show with her antics and her easy manner since she appeared in 2001.

    The conversational chemistry between Kelly Ripa and her current co-host, Michael Strahan, is amazing and they make great TV together!

    However, before there was Michael, there was Regis.

    For over a decade, it was Live! with Regis and Kelly, pittting Kelly Ripa against Regis Philbin in delightful banter about celebrities, current events, and their individual lives, and they were great.

    It seemed like Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, who he lovingly called “Pipa” sometimes, were fast friends, on screen and off.

    However, after an interview that Regis Philbin did recently with Hoda Kotb, it seems that friendship didn’t go very far, even after having worked together for so long.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9NCLTSNhM

    Hoda Kotb was conducting a conversation about some of Philbin’s former co-workers when she asked Regis about Kelly Ripa, saying, “What about Kelly? How often do you see her or speak to her?”

    Surprisingly Regis replied, “I haven’t seen her, I don’t see her.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbKcR53MnFo

    In fact, he hasn’t seen her since they did their last show in 2011. He tried to explain why he doesn’t speak to Kelly Ripa with geography.

    He said, “She lived downtown, and now I hear she’s on the East Side and, uh, you know.”

    The best picture ever taken by the great #bryanadams

    That seems sad, but Philbin went on to explain that even when he is right there in Kelly Ripa’s studio, they just don’t cross paths.

    He said, “I was over there yesterday [at ABC] as a matter of fact, to do something for them. No, I didn’t see [her].”

    Nobody I'd rather spend hump day with than @instasuelos for obvious reasons.

    But, it seems to be a totally different story with Philbin’s co-host before Kelly Ripa, Kathy Lee Gifford.

    Of her, he said, “She lives in Greenwich and I’m a weekend guy there, so I do see a lot of her.”

    Why do you think Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin haven’t spoken since 2011?

  • Kendrick Lamar Sets “Pimp” Record

    Kendrick Lamar Sets “Pimp” Record

    Kendrick Lamar has a lot to celebrate.

    Kendrick Lamar’s new album now holds the number one spot on April 4th’s Billboard 200 chart, a first for him. He previously hit number two on the chart with Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City in 2012.

    One of the most talented rappers of the current era, Kendrick Lamar shocked fans last week when he digitally released his new album, To Pimp A Butterfly, a week before it was expected.

    Kendrick Lamar even set a record on Spotify when To Pimp A Butterfly was streamed more than 9.6 million times on its first day of availability.

    Kendrick Lamar now officially has the second-fastest selling album of 2015. Only Drake is ahead of him.

    Kendrick Lamar‘s new album has also set a fun new record, since To Pimp A Butterfly is the first Billboard number one album to ever have the word “pimp” in the title.

    Pimp C’s Pimpalation, which made it to number three in 2006, is the next closest thing.

    Another fun fact: This is the third time for an album with “butterfly” in the title to sit at the number one position. Before Kendrick Lamar, there was Mariah Carey’s Butterfly and Bob Carlisle’s Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace), which both hit the charts in 1997.

    The rest of the chart is unsurprising.

    Behind Kendrick Lamar on the charts, the soundtrack for the Fox show Empire came in at number two. Sales and streams totalled 110,000 equivalent album units.

    Modest Mouse reached No. 3 with Strangers to Ourselves, which is their first album since 2007. Modest Mouse is followed by the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack at number four and Taylor Swift’s phenomenally popular album 1989 at number five.

    Have you heard Kendrick Lamar’s new album yet? What did you think?

  • Jennifer Westfeldt On Jon Hamm’s Demons

    Jennifer Westfeldt On Jon Hamm’s Demons

    Jennifer Westfeldt may be one of the few people who knows firsthand how much Jon Hamm struggles everyday.

    In fact, Jennifer Westfeldt, as Hamm’s longtime girlfriend, was one of only a handful who knew ahead of time that Jon Hamm was going into rehab last month.

    Hamm’s publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement on Tuesday that Jon Hamm, with the support of Jennifer Westfeldt, had quietly completed a 30-day stint in rehab.

    The statement went on to say that Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt have asked “for privacy and sensitivity going forward.”

    Jon Hamm is a lucky man to have an undertanding woman like Jennifer Westfeldt by his side as he battles his demons.

    Jennifer Westfeldt seems to think that Jon Hamm has a lot in common with his on-screen persona, Don Draper.

    She said, “It’s a confusing juxtaposition. I think the darkness of Don has weighed heavily on Jon, despite it being the role of a lifetime and the opportunity that gave him the career of his dreams.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbr3bkny0OQ

    Jennifer Westfeldt also likely understands where Jon Hamm’s struggles come from.

    Jon Hamm, who lost his mother at age 10 to stomach cancer, again suffered an extreme loss when he was just 20 and his father passed away.

    “I was … unmoored by that. I struggled with chronic depression. I was in bad shape,” he said.

    Jon Hamm managed to get through the crisis with a little help from his friends.

    He said he “was very fortunate to have really good friends in my life whose parents sort of rallied.”

    The help he received from them, as well as antidepressants, therapy, and the love and support of Jennifer Westfeldt, proved invaluable.

    He said, “You can change your brain chemistry enough to think: ‘I want to get up in the morning; I don’t want to sleep until four in the afternoon. I want to get up and … go to work and …’ Reset the auto-meter, kick-start the engine!”

    Hopefully Jon Hamm got the help he needs and can get a new start with Jennifer Westfeldt by his side.

  • Elizabeth Banks Wants Her Sons To Marry Jimmy Fallon’s Daughters

    Elizabeth Banks paid Jimmy Fallon a visit on Tuesday night’s Tonight Show.

    It seemed Elizabeth Banks’ purpose, aside from a bit of promotion for Pitch Perfect 2, was to arrange marriages for her two boys, Felix, two and a half, and Magnus, four.

    Jimmy Fallon, who has daughters Winnie, one and a half, and Frances, three months, seemed on board with Elizabeth Banks’ idea.

    Elizabeth Banks said of her sons, “So I’m hoping someday they’re going to get married to your girls. We’ll be one big happy family. It’ll be great. I promise they’re like really nice guys.”

    Of course Elizabeth Banks says her sons are nice guys. Aren’t they all nice guys at that age?

    Elizabeth Banks also told a hilarious story about what it’s like to FaceTime with them while she is away.

    “So I’m FaceTiming them. It’s awesome. I mean, first of all, that FaceTime exists is amazing. I basically don’t even need to go home. I could just parent from here,” Elizabeth Banks said.

    congrats JM, so classy.

    She continued, “I feel like the past couple of days, whenever I FaceTime, this is the first thing that I hear … ‘Mommy, we’re naked!’ And here’s the thing: I can see that they’re naked. It’s FaceTime. Like, ‘Oh, yeah, there you are. What happened to your clothes?’ They just love it.”

    Elizabeth Banks went on to explain that the boys had jumped into a river before one particular naked FaceTime session. She said that they were in their car seats on the way home, naked and eating Cheddar Bunnies.

    Franny Fallon wishes you a happy Tuesday!

    However, when Elizabeth Banks finds out that Fallon’s daughter Winnie doesn’t pronouce Elmo the correct way, she quips, “She’s going to have to get a little smarter if she wants to marry my son.”

    I heard 2014 is gonna be even more fun than 2013. #HappyNewYear #BabyNewYear
