Almost there!

At 9-months pregnant, Haylie Duff stepped out in West Hollywood, Calif. on Wednesday (April 8). After picking up some paint at Dunn-Edwards, the Real Girl’s Kitchen host, 30, made a quick stop at McDonald’s for some lunch to go.

During the sunny outing, the mom-to-be donned maternity jeans, a white tank top and a beige cardigan.

Haylie is expecting her first child – a girl – with fiancé Matt Rosenberg.

The couple announced their pregnancy news back in December.

The mom-to-be recently took to Twitter, sharing some of the challenges of the third trimester.

Gotta love when your baby just wants to chill right up in your ribs. #ouch #9months

As Bedhead reported last week, those of us who pay attention to Scientology and celebrity news weren’t surprised by anything in the new HBO documentary, Going Clear. We’ve heard all this information for years, and we know that Scientology uses slave labor, sucks members dry and abuses, isolates and intimidates anyone who tries to leave. We’ve heard how they cater to and manipulate celebrity members. We’ve also heard multiple firsthand accounts from high level defectors, and there are even videos on YouTube of Scientology goons harassing and yelling at ex members. To the casual gossip consumer, these stories are scandalous and shocking, though. Scientology can no longer be dismissed as some harmless wacky scifi “religion”, it’s a dangerous cult and just about everyone has heard about it.

In response to Going Clear, Scientology head David Miscavige has done just about what he’s always done – told members not to watch television, go online or read the news.

One-time high-ranking Scientologist Tom DeVocht tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that church leader David Miscavige has put members on “lockdown” mode in an attempt to stem the fall-out from recent explosive allegations.

DeVocht told Radar exclusively, “I have spoken with someone within the Church. This person is one of the higher-ups, and David Miscavige has ordered the Church to go on lockdown in response to Going Clear.”

“The order told members to not watch any television, read newspapers, or go online because the Church is under attack,” DeVocht claimed.

“Everyone is extremely paranoid that they are being watched or risk being tattled on if caught doing one of those things.”

It’s possible that the latest media ban was to keep members from seeing this story about how Miscavige hired a private investigator to spy on his own elderly father. The PI told police that at one point he witnessed Miscavige’s father possibly having a heart attack. Miscavige told the PI over the phone not to intervene and that “if it was Ron’s time to die, to let him die.”

Tom Cruise’s former auditor and one of the most outspoken critics of Scientology, Marty Rathbun, has a new interview in Esquire following his appearance in the Going Clear documentary. Rathbun has worked tirelessly to help ex Scientologists reintegrate into society and make sense of their experience. Rathbun doesn’t think that Going Clear will have too much of an effect on the church or on current members. He does say that it will help outsiders understand what Scientology is up to. “What it’s going to do is let people on the outside who might have an interest in Scientology know what the consequences are.” So while it may seem idiotic for some cult leader to tell members not to go online or read the news at all, that’s pretty much what been happening all along. People who make the decision to leave do so, according to Rathbun, because they see the abuses of the cult firsthand.

Meanwhile US Magazine has an article in their print edition about Tom Cruise’s life inside Scientology. It’s largely based on Going Clear and it’s not new, but it reminds us that “Tom has minders with him at all times” and that “he’s rarely in touch with family members who aren’t Scientologists.” We just heard that Tom hasn’t seen his own eight year-old daughter, Suri, in over a year. I wonder if he’ll ever reach a point where he realizes that he missed his daughter’s childhood, and I wonder if he’ll ever regret it. If he does, it’s not like he can publicly break ties with Scientology. They surely have a ton of dirt on him.

US also has a quote from another former Scientologist, Karen de la Carriere, who confirms Radar’s story that members are being ordered not to watch the film. “Ethics officers told Scientologists if they see the movie, they’ll lose everything.” Just maybe some of them will be curious enough to risk it.

Yesterday was a good day for TV trailers – first there was Orange is the New Black, then True Detective season 2 with Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams looking hot (will they just hook up already).

There was also a trailer for Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin’s new show, Grace and Frankie. It’s not …      

While Tiger Woods competed in the pre-Masters Par 3 Tournament in Augusta, Georgia on Wednesday (April 8), his two kids – daughter Sam, 7, and son Charlie, 6 – were daddies caddies.

The Woods’ were accompanied by the golfer’s girlfriend of two years, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.

Sam and Charlie looked adorable in miniature caddy jumpsuits and bright green Masters caps, Woods wore a mint and black polo shirt and Vonn went for a chic mint maxidress.

According to USA Today, Sam was able to take — and make! — a shot for her famous dad on the putting green of the sixth hole.

“I’ll always have memories of my pop at Augusta and now Sam & Charlie. An amazing day,” a proud Woods Tweeted after the tournament.

“My two little ones are going to be out there with me,” Woods told the Associated Press. “It’s special … this tournament means so much to me in so many different ways.”

The kids’ mother is Swedish model Elin Nordegren, whom Tiger famously cheated on several times.

Normally the way it works, for legitimate stars, is that we’re the ones digging for gossip about them. And then there are those who do the work for you. Literally. The 2015 word for that is “thirsty”. And who’s thirstier right now than Scott Eastwood?

Scott was on Watch What Happens Live with…      

Yes, people are still mad at Trevor Noah. Noah was named Jon Stewart’s replacement host for The Daily Show last week – Noah is expected to take over the desk later this year. But Comedy Central’s big announcement has been significantly hobbled, first by Trevor Noah’s own social media history. Noah’s Twitter feed revealed him to be a somewhat painfully unfunny, misogynistic and shtick-y kind of comedian. Noah’s defense of his bad jokes – that they simply “didn’t land” – didn’t help matters. Jon Stewart tried to defend him earlier this week too, to mixed reviews (I think we can safely say that Stewart’s heart is no longer in the “giving voice to the unsaid” thing).

But all of that was just a precursor to the latest Trevor Noah controversy. A few comedians – one in particular – have come out, claiming that Noah is a joke thief. Canadian comedian Russell Peters did an interview this week where he claimed:

Trevor Noah is “also a thief…He’s stolen material from David Kau. He’s stolen material from myself. That’s like stealing somebody’s underwear and putting them on,” Peters said. “That doesn’t make any sense. Why would you do that?”

[From CBC]

Peters later said that his comments were simply a “prank,” but even the New York Times isn’t buying it. The NYT points out that hours after Peters said his comments were just jokes, David Kau posted back-to-back tweets showing an early set he (Kau) had done and a later set by Trevor Noah in which it does seem like Noah had “stolen” or “homage’d” Kau’s comedic set-up.

The NYT (and other outlets) also dug up a quote from Noah from 2013, in which he defended himself against charges that he’s a joke thief (because people have been accusing him of stealing jokes for YEARS). Noah said: “Nobody owns comedy, nobody owns a premise, nobody owns an idea.” Plenty of people own ideas though. That’s what copyrights are for. But is Trevor basically saying that it’s fine for him to steal jokes because haha, jokes are communal property?

Oh, and please read the NYT piece about this – go here to read. The basic gist is “Trevor Noah needs to respond to these criticisms with the kind of humor and deftness we’ve come to expect from Jon Stewart.” The subtext is “Trevor Noah is not up for this task.”

You know how Benedict Cumberbatch is a workaholic who simply cannot sit still and enjoy a few weeks off? Well, Benedict took another gig. This time, he took another commercial gig, only this time it’s not for his long-standing sponsor Jaguar. In fact, I think this commercial gig means that Bendy is officially not on Jaguar’s payroll anymore, which is sad because Bendy really shilled his heart out for Jaguar, even setting up paparazzi photo ops where he nuzzled Sophie Hunter against a Jag. But no more! Nowadays, Benedict is going to nuzzle his wife against the MG GTS. Here’s the commercial:

It’s very much inspired by Sherlock. Even the music is Sherlock-esque. I have to admit… Benedict looks really good here. This was done before he got his silly hipster-fauxhawk haircut. He looks tan and dapper.

Marketing Interactive notes that Benedict will “also appear at MG’s branding event at Shanghai tomorrow.” Which probably means he’s already en route to Shanghai as we speak, and he’ll likely be through the next week, because he’s hosting the Laureus World Sports Awards in the same city on April 15th. Damn, I hope Sophie wasn’t expecting Benedict to stay close to home during her final weeks, you know?

Dear Gossips,

FINALLY! You wait 10 months to watch for only 10 weeks.

So this isn’t a conversation. Watch GOT and Mad Men first. And then hit the internet or Twitter th…      

I never would have predicted that we would have two Scott Eastwood stories today, but we should give him some credit: dude knows how to give a soundbyte. It’s a gift. Earlier, we heard Scott talking about “chicks” and how he can’t stand when said chicks can only talk about money.

Well, to promote his movie The Longest Ride, Scott appeared on Watch What Happens Live. The other guest was Jon Cryer, and at one point, Cryer fielded a question about his romantic history with Demi Moore and whether that history became an awkward subject when Ashton Kutcher joined Two and a Half Men. I feel sort of sorry for Cryer, because he clearly believed he had some kind of funny, scandalous story to tell. But then Scott Eastwood stole his thunder. Apparently, Scott was dating a club girl in San Diego back in 2011. His girlfriend was one of the ladies who ended up in a naked hot tub hookup party with Ashton Kutcher, while he was still married to Demi Moore. Remember that? Go here, here and here to recap.

I think Scott is saying that his girlfriend was Sarah Leal? Or was it one of the other girls? No, I think he’s saying that Sarah Leal was his girlfriend. Which is interesting, because if you go back to our older stories, it really sounded like Leal was the on-call-girl, if you get my drift. She was paid by the hotel to provide “entertainment” to the VIP clientele. So, those are the kinds of “chicks” that Scott Eastwood dates. Honestly, this video made me feel icky. Scott casually dropping that piece of info… ugh.
