Sorry today was so light. It’s my last in London and I kinda got carried away. Back home soon. Monday will be normal. Have a great weekend!

Avengers: Age of Ultron star Scarlett Johansson covers the latest issue of Parade and opens up about family life with husband Romain Dauriac and their 7-month-old daughter Rose.
On motherhood: “The biggest joy that I have is looking at my daughter. When I’m just hanging out with her and we’re doing silly stuff and if I make her laugh, the feeling of joy I have is explosive. If I can make her laugh and she gets a big smile on her face, that’s pretty much it. If only you could actually bottle that and carry it around.”
On raising her daughter in the spotlight: “It’s hard. On the one hand, you don’t want to isolate your kids, but you don’t want to make your kids feel like freaks: There’s this fascination with famous kids, like they’re celebrity spawn. I have many luxuries of fame, but I make my own bed. I like to buy my groceries. I drive my car. I like to do the normal, everyday things that I’ve always enjoyed. It doesn’t mean that when I drive out of my garage, I don’t fear that I’m being followed by somebody, because I probably am. But there’s always going to be an adjustment. At some point, you have to take your life back and say, ‘You know what? If I feel like picking up my dry cleaning and if someone’s going to photograph me doing it, so what?’ Part of being with your kids is making them feel as safe and normal as you can.”
On making marriage work: “Acting is a very strange world to be co-existing in. It’s very volatile. There’s always going to be the more successful person. It’s related to rejection. Because actors, if they’re not having success, connect it directly to unpopularity—to the fact that nobody wants them. It’s not necessarily true. I’m constantly rejected. [Marriage] takes a lot of work. It takes a man who’s not only confident in the love that you have for one another, but confident in what he has going on in his own career. He has to be in a field that’s completely different from yours. My husband’s also involved in art. What’s important to him is the recognition that he gets from his job, and that has nothing to do with my job.”
On dividing time between Paris and NYC: “I live a little bit of everywhere. My husband and I and the baby are a little bit nomadic at the moment. We like to go out and go dancing. Other times, we like to sit at home and eat Thai food and watch House Hunters International for four hours. And we’re interested in each other’s worlds. He’s interested in my weird, alien entertainment world. It fascinates him because it’s so different than what he knows. And I like to go to art openings with him and talk about art and emerging artists with him. That’s his passion.”

Love the photobomb!
Famous sisters, Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson, were all smiles at a special preview of The Gleason Project in Venice, Calif. on Thursday (April 23). Jessica looked lovely in a black and white jumpsuit with crisscross back, and Ashlee was simply radiant in a red maxi maternity dress.
While supporting his football pal Steve Gleason who is living with ALS, Eric Johnson photobombed his wife and sister-in-law at the formal event.
Ashlee was joined by husband, actor-singer Evan Ross. The couple expect their first child – a daughter – together.
Gleason – former New Orleans Saints football player – was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 34. After the posh event, he shared a special message on Facebook about the upcoming film featuring his story.
“Tonight in Los Angeles, friends and supporters unveiled a preview of The Gleason Project, a feature-length documentary of Steve’s life after being diagnosed with ALS.
“Part of my purpose is to inspire others to live life to its fullest, to overcome adversity, and to explore what is truly possible,” Gleason said in a statement. “This film, and the story it tells, is a product of my purpose.”

During a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham talked about her happy family life with husband, former football star David Beckham, and their four children: sons Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, and Cruz, 10, and 3½-year-old daughter Harper.
“She’s amazing,” Victoria gushed of her gorgeous girl. “All our kids are amazing. I mean, they’re really good kids. You know, they work hard at school. They’re happy. They’re funny. They are just really good kids, and she’s so great.”
Sounding every bit the proud mom, Posh went on to talk about her sweet sons.
“The boys are great with her,” she shared. “She’s a little tomboy. You know, she loves to wear little dresses, but then, she loves to put her football boots on and get in the garden with her brothers, and have a little rough and tumble. Which I think is great.”
And it sounds like they’re teaching the kids about strong work ethic.
“He’s a good boy,” Victoria said of her firstborn. “He’s worked in the local café cleaning up dishes for the last two years, which I think is great. For me and David, we work a lot, but the kids are everything to us.”
“We are very, very present,” she added. “I think it’s important that the kids have a good work ethic and try to help other people as well.”
The pair went on to play a game called “Tats on Becks,” where Victoria had to identify the body parts in which her husband’s tattoos are located. For each tat Victoria got right, Ellen donated $1,000 to the United Nations Fund.

Meet Avri Roel Downey!
During a Thursday appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman, Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. introduced his 5-month-old daughter.
“I have three: a 21-year-old, Indio, a 3-year-old, Exton, and now Avri is a little over 5 months,” the Avengers: Age of Ultron star, 50, shared. “I thought I’d show the first picture on planet Earth here with you, kind sir.”
The Golden Globe award-winning actor went on to gush about his only daughter.
“The yellow bonnet helps! You gotta love a yellow bonnet,” he said. Letterman replied: “She’s beautiful.”
“No rivalry?,” Letterman asked of his younger kids.
“Not yet,” Downey replied. “It’s natural for Exton to want to bite her once in a while. It can start off as a little pet and then it turns into a nibble. I think it’s just establishing dominance. She’ll be running stuff at some point.”
The Captain America star also chatted about his recent 50th birthday bash, attended by famous pals such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie Holmes, Reese Witherspoon, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Aniston, Dustin Hoffman, and more.
