  • Rachel Bilson, Hayden Christensen Welcome Daughter

    Rachel Bilson and her longtime boyfriend Hayden Christensen have welcomed their first child, a daughter named Briar Rose.

    “Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson welcome their daughter Briar Rose Christensen born on October 29, 2014,” the couple’s reps said in a statement. “Both mother and baby are healthy and doing well. They are asking for privacy and subscribe to the No Kids Policy.”

    The No Kids Policy refers to “a celebrity coalition to protect children of celebrities from being photographed without consent,” according to CBS News.

    The Hart of Dixie actress and the Star Wars actor gave their daughter a name fit for a princess. In fact, the name Briar Rose was the nickname that the fairies gave Princess Aurora in the Disney classic Sleeping Beauty.

    The couple first met when they were co-starring in the film Jumper in 2008. They became engaged in December of that year, but briefly split in 2010. Luckily, they reconciled three months later.

    Before finding out that she was pregnant, Bilson revealed to Health Magazine that she had always wanted to be a mom.

    “To start a family would be good, any year in the next few years,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I have always wanted kids. I can just see this little toddler waddling around the house.”

    Congratulations to the happy couple!

  • Teen Starts Petition: Make Plus-Size Disney Princess

    Ever notice how Disney Princesses all resemble one another? Jewel Moor, a junior in high school from Farmville, Va., noticed their larger-than-life eyes to their irregularly small body proportion resemble one specific body-type: unrealistic. Moor has taken it upon herself to open up the eyes of the Disney creators to create a plus-size princess through one growing petition.

    She started the petition on Change.org to not only create a plus-size princess, but to feature the new addition in an upcoming movie.

    In the petition Moor writes, “I’m a Junior in high school named Jewel. I made this petition because I’m a plus-size young woman, and I know many plus-size girls and women who struggle with confidence and need a positive plus-size character in the media.”

    So far the petition has generated 5,000 signatures along with a handful of responses.

    Hallie Marshall from Rantoul, Il., replied to the petition post saying, “I am signing this because I believe that Disney characters are influential. The latest movie, Frozen, is encouraging! To all the haters out there who say that fat people are just lazy, please stop generalizing! Generalizations are the bane of our existence! Everyone’s circumstance is different and I imagine you would hate it if you were lumped in with whatever generalizations there are about your gender, race, background, etc. Before you post your vitriol online, stop and think, would you say this to your daughter, your mother, your sister, or your wife.”

    Another user replied by saying, “I hate the term ‘plus-size’ its merely a way to sugarcoat reality to fat, over weight people. Being over weight has just as much, if not more negative health issues short and long term compared to being slightly underweight.”

    So far, Disney hasn’t made a comment on the petition.

    Geek Art: Sexy Disney Princesses in Real Life

    Have you ever wondered fantasized about what Disney princesses looked like in real life? Admit it. If you were ever an adolescent boy this had to be the case. If you were an adolescent girl, you probably did the same, only imagining how glamourous it would be to be a princess. Either way, if you are a person, you probably have wondered at some point, what these characters might look like in real life.

    This is your lucky day. Cause designer Jirka Väätäinen has always thought the same.

    Jirka Väätäinen is a Finnish designer and photographer studying graphic design at the Art University College at Bournemouth. This series on Behance is titled Envisioning Disney Characters in “Real Life” . The project is one of the most viewed and most “appreciated” (read: “like”) collections on the site with close to 700,000 views and 23,000 “appreciations”.

    Väätäinen (don’t ask me how to pronounce it), used photo manipulation and illustration to come up with these impressive images.
