Kim Kardashian has done a lot of work to her face. Exactly what she has gotten done, surgically and non-surgically, is up for debate. I tend to think that the fact that she lasered off her baby hairs gives her a very plastic-Barbie look. Plus, she wears a ton of (bad, orange) makeup. But what else? A nose job. Possibly eye work. Lip injections. And according to Us Weekly’s unshocking cover story this week, Kim has been overdoing the fillers? Sure.

She looks very different now than she did when she was in her mid twenties, before fame hit with Keeping Up With The Kardashians. And in the new issue of UsWeekly, a source insisted Kim Kardashian, 34, has been visiting plastic surgeons to keep her youthful glow, which she has been showing off during Paris Fashion Week to raves.

‘She’s had fillers all over her face,’ the insider told the publication. The friend went on to explain that the E! diva gets the treatment in her ‘nose, cheeks and chin.’

The mother to North West, aged one, doesn’t want anything injected around her eyes because she had a bad experience in May 2012 while in France that made her uncomfortable, it was claimed.

‘She didn’t like it,’ said the source. ‘She avoids that area now.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Eh, I believe she experiments with getting Botox and fillers all over her face, for sure. I don’t think she avoids any particular area. I didn’t even know that you could get fillers in your chin though. What is the purpose of that? “Oh, I wish my chin looked a bit fuller and more youthful”???? Incidentally, I was looking at some closeups of Kim during PFW, and she really needs to stop augmenting her upper lip. It’s been over-filled and it makes her face extra cat-like.

I’ll cover Duchess Kate-at-Downton Abbey in a separate post, if and when we get those photos. For now, this is just a catch-up post and I’m using some additional photos of Kate in Margate yesterday, wearing the repeat Hobbs coat (which I still like). Incidentally, I kept saying that this week’s events would probably be her final public outings until the baby comes, but I was wrong: Kate and William are going to make their annual outing on St. Patrick’s Day to visit the Irish Guards. Will she wear the same green coatdress that she wore in 2012 & 2013? Or will she repeat the 2014 green coatdress? So many questions.

As for the catch-up info… Kate didn’t make any official public statements during her Margate outing, but she did talk to some of the peasants and the peasants dutifully relayed Kate’s words to the press. When told that she looked “very trim,” Kate admitted to one woman, “I sometimes forget I’m pregnant.” She also said Prince George has been “running around quite a lot,” and made it sound like George is still a handful (good). Apparently, the peasants called her “Princess Catherine” a lot, which sounds completely made up by People Magazine, considering they’re one of the few publications to insist on calling her “Princess Catherine.”

Meanwhile, this week’s Enquirer claims that Kate has absolutely had it with William’s bald dome. A source claims:

“Kate thinks he looks old before his time. She says that William either needs to get a hair transplant or shave his head completely, so that he looks younger and more dynamic…She’s told poor William that he needs a complete style makeover… [but] As the future king, he has no option but to grow old gracefully.”

[From Radar]

I don’t know… Kate famously made a very public crack about William’s thinning hair, and (just my opinion) it’s a very sensitive subject for him. We know he’s a mercurial, fussy baby on a normal day, so I can imagine he’s an utter bastard if someone dares to comment on his baldness. Do you think Kate would tell him to shave his dome? I don’t even know if that would make a huge difference with his look though.

As for Kate’s due date… the palace seems to be indicating that it will be late April. I guess no one wants a repeat of The Great Kate Wait of 2013.

Shailene Woodley stepped out in London for last night’s Insurgent world premiere. She didn’t make a major splash with this Ralph Lauren dress, which isn’t surprising. Shailene isn’t into clothes, makeup, or any of the usual movie star trappings. I’d still like to see her have more fun with the red carpet experience. This is a girl who doesn’t mind talking about her sunshine vadge but chooses conservative dresses almost every time. This dress isn’t awful. The back view and side view are actually lovely. From the front, it’s a non event. I think losing the crochet sleeve detail would have been a fine move.

Shai’s chemistry with Theo James here is nonexistent. They look so awkward together. To be fair, he doesn’t exactly ooze charisma on his own.

Shailene’s preparing for her role as Edward Snowdon’s girlfriend (Lindsay Mills) in the upcoming Oliver Stone movie. She spoke to E! about the NSA whistleblower and why she considers him a hero:

What’s a hero? “I define a hero as somebody, who against the judgment of other people, if they believe something will positively impact the world and they choose to do it and honor their integrity, that’s what I sort of consider a hero, no matter how big or mall a feat they create. And in that light, absolutely I think that Edward Snowden is a hero.”

Her words to Snowden: “You are the epitome of the word selfless. You did something knowing you wouldn’t be able to come home, knowing that your country would have very mixed feelings and yet your integrity on what you believe was right or wrong or should be public knowledge was more important to you than almost your own comfortability and the life that you had lived for so long. So I would like to say thank you to him.”

[From E! Online]

Since this is an Oliver Stone movie, the controversy factor should be high. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Snowden, and you can see him in character in this Facebook photo. Shailene is playing an exotic dancer in this movie. You can see photos of Lindsay Mills in action at the Mail. I can’t wait to read Shailene’s interviews about pole dancing.

This 3-month-old photo comes from Kendall Jenner’s Instagram account (although she deleted it for unknown reasons). She’s showing off her Calvins to great advantage. This must be the new go-to method for securing a Calvin Klein underwear contract. Show off the undies, grab some social media attention, and watch what happens. Hey, it worked for Justin Bieber. He also dropped trou on the runway to nab his campaign. Maybe that’s where Kendall got the idea, although she won’t need anywhere near the amount of photoshop as Swaggy. Kendall’s the only Kardashian with a fresh and (mostly) natural beauty, so CK may even send their digital artists on vacation. Page Six says the deal is done:

Add Kendall Jenner to the list of people for whom nothing comes between them and their Calvins.

Sources tell us the in-demand model and junior member of the Kardashian klan has signed on to be a face, or rather body, for the underwear brand.

Jenner, who’s been walking runways for Chanel and Balmain at Paris fashion week, has been posting photos of herself wearing Calvin Klein undies on her Instagram since last year, often tagging the line to show her support.

Jenner’s Instagram posts are similar to those Justin Bieber posted on his own feed before he was announced in January as a spokesman for Calvin Klein Jeans.

Bieber’s appearance in Calvin ads with model Lara Stone drew huge buzz on social media (Calvin reportedly gained 3.6 million Twitter followers after releasing the first images), but also a fair amount of controversy.

Kendall’s a bit of a brat, but I still think she’s got the model look. Even more important these days is Kendall’s ability to stir up buzz on social media. That’s the big reason why brands hire her. She’s a face of Estee Lauder and walks at every fashion week runway now. If anyone can make a break from the Klan, it’s Kendall. I don’t think that will happen, but the option is open for her.

Kendall gave a quickie, slightly vacant interview during Paris fashion week. The Mail quotes her tips for comfortably wearing high heels: “I switch off from one foot to another a lot, like this. You have to keep moving your feet!” She also advises shelling out for Manolos. So what’s next — Kendall as the face of Manolo Blahnik? We shall see.

it’s 68 degrees, and there is a 30% chance that it is already raining

If you’ve paid even a small amount of attention to Bethenny Frankel’s divorce and custody battle, you know that it’s been incredibly petty. It’s at the point where it’s surely costing Bethenny and her ex, Jason Hoppy, tens of thousands in lawyers bills so they don’t have to actually talk or text one another. Bethenny and Jason are unsuccessfully trying to coparent their daughter Bryn, who turns five in May. They’ve been separated for over two years and yet they still haven’t worked out minor details. For instance Bethenny once took all of Bryn’s clothes and toys from the apartment she used to share with Jason, upsetting the little girl before she was scheduled to spend time with her dad. It’s all about Bethenny getting back at Jason with little care for the effect it has on their daughter.

This latest instance is more of the same. Bethenny hired some movers to go over to the apartment she used to share with Jason, where he still lives. Of course Bethenny never bothered to give Jason the heads up. Bryn and Jason were home at the time and Bryn got really scared to see a bunch of strange men around with no warning. In response, Jason called an emergency phone meeting with their custody judge. Here’s more, thanks to Radar:

“Jason’s attorneys requested the emergency conference call this morning after a moving crew showed up at the apartment he shares with Bryn and started removing Bethenny’s belongings,” a source close to the situation told Radar.

The $5 million apartment has been at the center of their split squabbles, with Hoppy refusing to move out and a judge ordering that neither party could buy or sell the place until all of the divorce details are finalized.

“Jason’s attorneys told the judge that Bethenny has bought a new apartment and she was taking her remaining things out of the Tribeca place. The problem was, Bryn was home and the moving crew scared her,” the source explained. “She started hysterically crying and Jason was furious so he immediately called his lawyers, who called the judge.”

The source told Radar that a conference call ensued and the judge was furious with Frankel for “exposing Bryn to these fights her parents still have.”

The meltdown came on the heels of lingering tensions from last summer, said the source.

Frankel, who has returned to The Real Housewives of New York City, infuriated Hoppy last summer while she was in the Hamptons, the source claimed.

“Bethenny spent the summer in the Hamptons and had her assistant get Bryn and bring her out to the beach,” claimed the source. “This made Jason mad that she didn’t do it herself.”

According to the insider, the exasperated judge called for a hearing next month, hoping to finalize Frankel and Hoppy’s messy divorce once and for all.

[From Radar]

So Bethenny hired movers who came while her daughter was home and she couldn’t be bothered to text Jason to let him know. That’s ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous that Jason is mad at Bethenny for having her assistant pick up Bryn. She should have told him ahead of time though. The judge in this case must be so pissed to get dragged into these stupid, pointless fights. These two, particularly Bethenny, are only hurting their child, who has grown up with the two most important adults in her life not even talking to each other. It’s sad for Bryn.

Here are some photos from yesterday in which Bryn looks like she’s about to run into traffic. It’s not as dramatic as it looks though, Bryn may have been running to a car which waiting for her and her mom. A guy stepped in to help and it looks like he was their driver.

The Duchess of Cornwall had a nice family day with her adult children yesterday at the 2015 Cheltenham Festival. Camilla stayed in the royal box with son Tom Parker-Bowles and daughter Laura Lopes. Camilla is reportedly quite close with her children and her grandchildren – she keeps a home adjacent to Prince Charles’ Highgrove estate just so can spend time with Tom, Laura and their kids. Apparently, Tom and Camilla made a bet with each other about the horses and Tom had to pay his mum – the Daily Mail says Tom gave her a “fistful of £20 notes.” I’ve heard that the Queen likes to put some money on the horses too, she just does it discreetly.

Camilla looks nice here, doesn’t she? I don’t really think she has the elegance for formal eveningwear, but she looks good when she’s in horse-culture, in her tweeds. And like all royal women, Camilla does have a face for hats.

Meanwhile, Camilla recently spoke to a magazine for children about her favorite fictional characters. Her ultimate favorite was apparently Winnie the Pooh because “I would love to have my fingers stuck in honey.” But she also said she adores Elizabeth Bennett of Pride & Prejudice. I recently had a conversation with a big Jane Austen fan and I mentioned that out of all of Austen’s heroines, Emma was probably my favorite. Story-wise, I would go with Persuasion or Pride & Prejudice, but as far as well-drawn, flawed heroines, yes, Emma is my favorite. Anyway, the Austen fan was shocked! Apparently, it’s practically sacrilegious to prefer Emma over Lizzy Bennett.

Here are some photos of Liam Neeson at the NYC premiere of his new film, Run All Night, a few nights ago. I’m also including some photos of Vincent D’Onofrio, because he’s in the film as well. Let’s just take a moment for the D’Onofrio, shall we? Because even though he’s gained a lot of weight, it totally works on him, right? He’s got that Orson Welles thing. In fact, if they ever wanted to make a film about Orson Welles’ later years, they should totally cast D’Onofrio. And yes, I would hit it. I would feed it a meatball sub and then I would hit it.

Anyway, Liam Neeson. Run All Night. This film is just another action-drama where Liam plays some kind of bad mofo, kicking ass and taking names. Are you tired of Liam in these kinds of roles? I’ve only seen the first Taken, and I skipped the rest of Liam’s “late in life action film star” stage. I don’t necessarily think he should quit playing ass-kicking characters, I’d just like to see him mix it up with some solid dramatic work in prestige films too, because the man is actually a wonderful dramatic actor. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Liam admitted that he probably only has one or two years left with action films:

His new film may be called Run All Night, but Liam Neeson knows there’s a limit to his energy – and has said he’s getting ready to call time on ass-kicking action roles.

“Maybe two more years. If God spares me and I’m healthy,” he said in a US interview. “But after that, I’ll stop [the action] I think.”

Neeson, who originally broke through with dramas like Schindler’s List and Michael Collins, became known to a whole new generation of film fans with 2008 action hit Taken. Playing Bryan Mills, a man with an exceedingly quotable “particular set of skills” who fights to save his daughter from sex traffickers, the film and its two sequels have grossed nearly $900m worldwide.

“I’m in a very, career-wise, great place,” Neeson said of the movies. “The success of certainly the Taken films, Hollywood seems to see me in a different light. I get sent quite a few action-oriented scripts, which is great. I’m not knocking it. It’s very flattering. But there is a limit, of course.”

[From The Guardian]

Liam’s costar Joel Kinnaman told the Guardian that Liam is like “an old boxer” and that he (Joel) thinks it’s cool to be in a film with “all these old farts kicking ass, killing people.” Whippersnapper!! Don’t call Liam an old fart!! I mean, Liam sort of is an old fart, but as long as he’s happy… eh, whatever. I’d rather see Liam Neeson in over-the-hill action films than Sylvester Stallone or even Bruce Willis.

Mom-of-two Jessica Simpson and her 2-year-old daughter Maxwell travel in style.

The 34-year-old singer-actress-entrepreneur took to Instagram Tuesday to share a shot of her mini-me. Surrounded by toys, the beautiful tot struck a pose upon a private jet.

“Private Plane Scrunchie Poser,” Simpson captioned the precious photo.

Last month, the fashion designer shared an adorable image of both children – including 1-year-old son Ace – whom she is “so proud of.”

The kids’ father – former NFL star Eric Johnson – and Simpson were wed in July 2014.

What a handsome pair!

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson shared a sweet snapshot with his 2-year-old son Sire via Instagram Wednesday. “We clean up when we get ready. how cool is this, he got my eyes.#SMSAUDIO #FRIGO,” the rap superstar, 39, captioned the precious pic.

“This kid is a gift from God, he has all my expressions and mannerisms. I’m not gonna let him make the mistakes I made.#SMSAUDIO#FRIGO,” the proud papa wrote on another photo.

The adorable toddler — who donned a dapper suit — is also pictured with his model mama, Daphne Joy, as she carried him down the runway for the Isabella Couture fashion show, which kicked off L.A. Fashion Week on Tuesday.

“My son got cold feet at the last minute so mommy had to walk with him,” Joy Instagrammed a sweet photo. “He was the youngest model in the show and he handled it so well up until the last moment!”

While the rapper is busy designing his luxe underwear line with Frigo, 50?s mini-me recently landed his own modeling contract.

“He’s got a deal now with Kidz Safe,” the Grammy Award-winning rapper said. “It’s an audio company. They paid him a big payment too.”

Anne Hathaway stepped out last night in New York to support the Public Theatre where she’ll be performing this spring. It’s not…my favourite hairstyle on her. On the weekend, The Devil Wears Prada was on. Hadn’t seen it in a while. I’ve decided I miss her with long …
