Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian leaving a gym in Paris following a workout… I guess. A lot of you nitpicked Kim’s claims that she goes running every morning while in LA. I’ve questioned her workouts before, don’t get me wrong – I find it hard to believe that someone can really work very hard at the gym and still leave the place with a full face of makeup and her hair not drenched in sweat. I’m a mess after a workout, and that’s what I expect other people to look like too. I believe Kim does “something” while she’s “running” or at the gym. I just don’t think what she’s doing is very strenuous. Like, maybe some light weight training or a brief jog on the treadmill.

With these photos, I guess I have to give her some credit, because it’s clear that she’s not wearing makeup. Of course, she still doesn’t look sweaty to me at all. Did she just ride a bike for a few minutes and pick up a bottle of water? I’m also going to defend her about her cleavage – it’s really difficult to find good, supportive sports bras when you have big boobs. And even if you’re like me and you’re wearing two sports bras to keep everything contained, there’s still a major cleavage situation happening. So on that, I have no shade.

Oh, but I will throw some shade at Kim for not wearing panties underneath her clearly see-through gym pants. The Daily Mail has clearer (NSFWish) photos here. Girl, put some drawers on!

Anyone have an ID on her sneakers?

Yesterday we saw a video from Dennis Quaid in which he seemed to channel Christian Bale’s infamous on set freakout. Quaid ranted and raved at a perceived slight while he was working, claiming that he was interrupted, that it was the “most unprofessional set” he’s ever been on, and that the director (presumably) wasn’t paying attention to him. He swore a lot and used creative phrasing, including calling someone “dopey the dick,” calling the crew “zombies” and “pussies,” and adding “blow me,” a la Mel Gibson, at the end. It seemed way too familiar to be true, especially since the reasoning for his anger was just about the same as Bale’s – someone interrupting his work.

Many people, including me, wondered whether the video was one of Jimmy Kimmel’s staged viral videos. Some of you mentioned that Quaid has pulled pranks in the past, including with Ellen DeGeneres. And of course Quaid has also appeared on Kimmel, like so many other celebrities. On last night’s show, Kimmel denied having anything to do with Quaid’s leaked video. Of course he mocked it too, and included an hilarious Daffy Duck montage set to Quaid’s rant. (You can see that video above.) Here’s more, thanks to E!

“I watched that video last night about 14 times, although my favorite part was this: ‘I can’t even get a line out with Dopey the Dick whispering in my ear.’ For the next eight years, I’m planning to call everyone Dopey the Dick. I might have a T-shirt printed up…I watched this a bunch of times last night, and when I woke up this morning, I was being blamed for it. There are two-dozen articles online, thousands of comments, suggesting that this is a prank video and I am responsible for it.”

“I have to say, it’s disappointing. Because you play like 50 pranks and all of a sudden people don’t trust you anymore,” said Kimmel, who masterminded the “Worst Twerk Fail EVER” and “Epic #SochiFail: Wolf in my hall” pranks.

“Did you ever consider that maybe Dennis was doing voiceover for a new cartoon? That’s right! He’s playing Dennis Duck,” he said. The jokes didn’t end there, with Kimmel saying, “I promised we’d get to the bottom of this Dennis Quaid video controversy. The truth is, the reason Dennis released that video is to promote his new children’s book, Dopey the Dick. I read it to my daughter last night.”

The Daffy Duck clip was clever and reminds me of Alec Baldwin screaming at Dora The Explorer. Kimmel may not have had anything to do with Quaid’s rant, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a stunt. There are plenty of other options, and TMZ points out that Quaid is currently promoting “his new scripted drama on Crackle.” They have video of a paparazzi asking him “what happened on set?” All Quaid does is smile and say “come on.”

Deadline has the details on Quaid’s new series. It’s called The Art of More and is about “the surprisingly cutthroat world — of premium auction houses, filled with hustlers, smugglers, power mongers and collectors.” Quaid plays a real estate broker and it costars Christian Cooke (Magic City) and Kate Bosworth. If the “leaked” video was meant to generate buzz for that show, it worked well. I’m kind of excited to hear an explanation for it.

Congratulations are in order for Theo Rossi and Meghan McDermott.

The Sons of Anarchy star, 39, and his wife are expecting their first child together. The parents-to-be were all smiles while making their baby bump debut on Tuesday (April 14) at the annual Vanity Fair party to celebrate the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

“We don’t know what it is, but we’re pretty excited about it,” the proud papa-to-be told PEOPLE. “And it’s due on my birthday!”

With their June 4th due date around the corner, the actor — whose film, Bad Hurt, will premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival — is excited about impending fatherhood.

“I’m just excited for him or her. I keep calling it ‘him or her,’ ” he shared. “I’m just excited for this baby to grow up in New York City because it’s the greatest place in the world, and it made me who I am, and I just think that it’s going to be very interesting because it’s a very different time from when I grew up.”

Rossi – who met McDermott through the Boot Campaign – couldn’t help but gush about his lovely wife. “She’s pretty incredible,” he said.

I was asked to speak at the Young Women In Law gala in Toronto recently – THANK YOU for your generous donation to Covenant House Vancouver! – and during the Q&A someone asked me why I hadn’t been mentioning stories about celebrities and drugs. And my response to that was… well… reporting on celeb…

Here are some photos of Benedict Cumberbatch at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai today. He’s the host of the event for the second year in a row, and he’s been enjoying Shanghai for days, as he did an event for MG (he became a brand ambassador) and he even got a nice massage (hm). I think this awards show is his last event in Shanghai and he should be flying back to London soon enough. But you never know. Any chance he gets to be away from the old ball and chain, amirite?

I haven’t seen anything about this event so far, so let’s just talk about how he looks. I’m surprised by how many people are okay with his haircut. Some of you even think he looks younger!! This is like The Dress debate to me – I don’t see how anyone could like this hair on him. He looks older, like an aging otter. I think he’s losing weight to play Hamlet too. I like when he’s a bit bigger and more “filled out.”

What else? Benedict also has made a call to support independent cinema. As in, independently-owned theaters in England, like the Phoenix Cinema. You can read more here.

19 Kids and Counting stars Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard cover the latest issue of PEOPLE and gush about their newborn son Israel David.

After 70 hours of labor, the first-time mom, 23, delivered their son via C-section on April 6.

Although Jill has hoping to have a natural home birth, #BabyDilly had other plans.

“His birth didn’t go as expected,” says Jill. “But having him here—it’s all worth it. I wouldn’t do anything differently.”

Prior to the birth, Jill didn’t get discouraged when her March 24 due date passed.

“I told myself first-time moms often go a week and a half over,” says the reality star, who turned to spicy food to help kick-start her labor.

At 41 weeks and five days Jill’s water finally broke, but she tested positive for strep B, a common bacteria that can be transferred from mom to baby during birth. At this point, Jill started taking antibiotics via an IV.

After 20 hours in labor – with contractions just one minute apart – and little progression, Jill noticed a bit of meconium and was moved to the hospital.

“I was praying to God to give me strength,” she shares. “I was really scared and nervous, but I was praying.”

Once there, Jill declined Pitocin, but after 70 hours in labor, the baby had flipped into a transverse breech position, was experiencing irregular heart rates and had not yet descended.

Jill, a student midwife, decided to move forward with a C-section.

“I love our birth story because it bonded us so well,” says Jill. “I still haven’t changed a single diaper. Derick has been changing them all.”

Baby Israel’s birth will air on the May 5 episode of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting.

Justified Season 6, Episode 13 recap

SPOILERS

I started recapping Justified in season 3, and it turns out I miscounted Raylan’s body count, missing some unnamed henchmen from season one. I’ve had it at twenty-one, but it’s actually twenty-seven. Well, twenty-eight, by the end.

GET TO …      

More than a week ago, Jill Duggar-Dillard finally gave birth to her first child, a son named Israel David Dillard. Jill was two weeks past her due date, and when Israel finally came out, he was HUGE. Which was enough to make me feel really sorry for Jill, because two weeks overdue must have been really uncomfortable, plus I thought squeezing out a gigantic baby probably hurt like hell. As it turns out, Jill had a C-section. It wasn’t entirely her choice – Jill wanted to have an all-natural, drug-free, home birth. But Israel had other ideas. And the whole ordeal involved Jill being induced after a 70 HOUR LABOR.

Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard had planned to have their first child at home, but after a series of frightening circumstances the first-time mom had an emergency C-section for her baby Israel David Dillard. RadarOnline.com reported last week on the growing speculation that Duggar had gone under the knife, and the 19 Kids & Counting star confirmed the dramatic delivery details in an article out Tuesday.

She spent 20 hours in labor but tested positive for strep B, a bacteria that is common during birth but required her to take antibiotic via an IV, according to People magazine. She also saw a slight trace of meconium (fetal waste, which can be a sign of distress) and decided to forgo her home birth plan and head to the hospital.

“I was praying to God to give me strength,” the first Duggar daughter to give birth said. “I was really scared and nervous, but I was praying.”

The 23-year-old tried everything she could to avoid drugs once at the hospital. Duggar explained that she initially declined the drug Pitocin, which helps induce labor, and pain medication, but the baby turned into a transverse breech position. Finally after 70 hours of labor, when the fetus was showing irregular heart rates and had not yet descended, the doctors expressed concern for both her health and that of her son. So the Duggar and Dillard agreeded hat it was time for a cesarean section. Jill’s own mother, Michelle Duggar, has had 4 C-sections and 13 regular births in a row.

They then safely welcomed their son, Israel David Dillard, at 11:49 pm and he weighed a healthy 9-lb., 10-oz. Despite the change in plans, Duggar says that she wouldn’t change a thing.

“I love our birth story because it bonded us so well,” she told the magazine. “I still haven’t changed a single diaper. Derick has been changing them all.”

Well, I’m glad she finally agreed to a C-section. It didn’t sound like she had much choice in the matter – I mean, what else could the doctors say to her? This is the way it had to happen. But I do feel sorry for her because it sounds like her birth plan went to hell almost immediately and she was in pain for a really long time. You’d think that after an experience like that, Jill and Derick would want to wait to get pregnant again, but ten bucks says she’s knocked up again in the next eight months.

Congratulations to Billy Joel and Alexis Roderick.

The legendary Piano Man singer, 65, and his longtime girlfriend, 33, are expecting their first child together this summer, Us Weekly reports.

The Grammy Award-winning singer is also dad to daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 29, with ex-wife, supermodel Christie Brinkley.

The parents-to-be started dating in 2009, following Joel’s split from his third wife Katie Lee. The Uptown Girl hitmaker was also previously married to first wife Elizabeth Weber Small in the 1970s and early ’80s.

The pair plan “to keep any further details of her pregnancy under wraps until their new addition makes an official debut.”

Joel has a regular residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City. His next show is scheduled for May 28.

Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb were together, on and off, for years. They were engaged, they lived together, they were planning a future together, and then they weren’t. They repeated that cycle many times. At various points, Sofia talked about having a baby with Nick, and how she froze some of her eggs and was thinking about either getting pregnant or having a gestational carrier. I always thought that Sofia really wasn’t all that interested in having another baby, that Nick was the one wanting to turn Sofia into a stay-at-home wife and mother, because he just seems like that kind of dude (the kind of dude who was jealous of her career and success). I also heard stories that Nick and Sofia had gone so far as to create some frozen embryos and they had picked out their gestational carrier and everything.

Well, now that Nick and Sofia are totally done and she’s with Joe Manganiello, Nick is apparently suing Sofia over their frozen embryos. This is according to In Touch Weekly – they got their hands on some documents claiming Loeb (going by John Doe) wants to stop Sofia from destroying the embryos they created while together. I’m pretty sure this was a case on Law & Order.

Sofía Vergara’s former fiancé, Nick Loeb, has filed a lawsuit in California to prevent her from destroying two cryopreserved female embryos created through in vitro fertilization, In Touch Weekly is reporting exclusively. Court documents obtained exclusively by In Touch reveal that just six months before their split, in November 2013, Nick and Sofía had embryos created as a result of his sperm and her eggs being fertilized.

Nick, who filed the suit under the pseudonym John Doe, “seeks to ensure that the Female Embryos are not destroyed, but Jane Doe [Sofía] refuses to agree to their preservation under all circumstances,” the document obtained by In Touch states. (The lawsuit was originally filed in August 2014; it was amended with new information and refiled on April 1 after Nick sought new representation.)

The court papers also claim that the 42-year-old actress “was physically and mentally abusive” to Nick on numerous occasions. “She punched him in the face on two occasions, kicked him, and threw her phone at his head. She also routinely bullied him, calling him a ‘loser,’ ‘worthless’ and other degrading names,” according to the papers.

In Touch has also learned, via the documents, that the couple previously used a surrogate and twice unsuccessfully had their embryo implanted in her. “Nick has always wanted to be a father and will do whatever it takes to save these two remaining female embryos,” an insider close to the situation tells In Touch. “Nick is very emotionally invested in these female embryos because he’s pro-life and believes life begins at conception.”

The court documents also state “John seeks to save from destruction two cryopreserved Female Embryos created using John’s sperm and Jane’s ova for the purposes of attempting to have children. However, before the Female Embryos could be implanted in a surrogate, the Parties ended their relationship,” adding that Sofía “hoped for the Female Embryos to ultimately be destroyed” but “John does not desire for the Female Embryos to be destroyed.”

The documents claim that when Nick and Sofía met at the California-based fertility center on Nov. 16, 2013 — four months after their engagement and prior to undergoing a second round of IVF — they got into a heated argument about what should happen to the new embryos in the event of their death. (The center provided forms to the couple for a decision about what would happen in the event of death — but not separation, Nick claims in the document. Because of this, he is also suing the center to prevent them from destroying the embryos.) “Jane insisted that in such a circumstance, the Female Embryos be thawed with no further action,” state the documents. “John did not agree with Jane and refused to initial his agreement regarding that term.”

“Jane insisted that John agree to the destruction of the Female Embryos under that circumstance, and began vigorously berating him in the offices,” the documents claim, adding that Sofía had a history of physically and emotionally abusing Nick. “John Doe signed this portion of the Former Directive, even though he did not agree with it, in order to avoid further abuse.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

This is pretty crazy, right? Loeb is very much aligned with Republican politics (there was even talk of Loeb running for political office in Florida), and I figured he was anti-choice. But honestly, say he gets what he wants and these embryos are not destroyed. What will he do then? Ask some other woman to be his gestational carrier and then raise the daughter on his own? I wouldn’t even put it past Loeb to sue Sofia for child support in that situation. And yes, this was definitely an episode of Law & Order.

As for Sofia abusing him and hitting him… O RLY? I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that.
