During last year’s awards season, Emma Thompson kept bringing her teenage daughter Gaia as her date to various events. That’s why we have so many current-ish photos of Gaia. Gaia is currently 15 years old and she looks SO much like her mom. But I also see some of her dad, Greg Wise, in there too. Anyway, I always assumed that Gaia was and is as clever and cool as Emma, because how could she not be? Emma and Greg raised Gaia in England, and Gaia has been educated at private schools (or as the Brits call it, public schools). But no more. Greg announced a few days ago that they were taking Gaia out of private school and she’s going to be homeschooled from now on. Ruh roh.

Emma Thompson’s daughter has been withdrawn from her £6,000-a-term school so she can be taught in her back garden after deciding main-stream learning ‘wasn’t for her’. Fifteen-year-old Gaia is being educated at home, her father, the actor Greg Wise, revealed today. Wise said she made the decision just before she started her GCSEs, leading them to build a classroom in the garden of their West Hampstead home.

‘School isn’t for everyone,’ he told The Times Magazine. ‘She loves learning and she’s terribly focused and hardworking, but she didn’t like the sausage factory of formal education.’

Wise said he would not be teaching Gaia – but pointed out as many as 60 per cent of today’s youngsters would end up doing jobs which were yet to be invented.

‘So what are we teaching them?’ he wondered. ‘I think really we should just teach Latin and free-form dance.’

Thompson has previously revealed she hoped her daughter would do her A-levels at Camden School for Girls, the state secondary where she herself was taught.

Do I think this is going to be the same kind of “homeschooling” that Kendall and Kylie Jenner received? Absolutely not. But it does make me nervous. I’m the daughter of a public school teacher, and I had a great public school education myself (I still can’t spell worth a damn, but that’s not my school’s fault). I believe that kids should go to a real school because I believe in the process. I think Gaia’s private homeschooling will probably be thorough and Greg and Emma can obviously afford it, but it bugs me. Every teenager is disaffected and distracted, and it feels like the answer of “Eh, they’ll grow out of it” doesn’t apply to some special snowflakes.

The Real Housewives of Miami star has been known to struggle with fertility issues, but she’s not letting that get in her way. Instead, she’s officially going to be a mommy – via surrogacy.

Lisa Hochstein revealed to US Weekly that her and her husband Lenny Hochstein are expecting via surrogate and they couldn’t be more excited:

“It did not feel real, almost unbelievable! Although I was beyond excited and overjoyed, we did not want to get our hopes up too high until we passed the first trimester.”

Lisa has had three miscarriages in the past and four failed IVF attempts. Fans of The Real Housewives of Miami know that Lisa has had quite the struggle when it comes to getting pregnant. Lisa goes on to explain that surrogacy was practically their last resort:

“We felt that we tried almost every option available to us except surrogacy. Adoption was a consideration if this didn’t work.”

Kelly Clarkson, 32, didn’t attend the 2015 Grammy Awards last night, but she definitely had a fun time tweeting about them on Twitter!

Kelly Clarkson stole the night, but she wasn’t even at the Grammy Awards! Instead, she tweeted some of the funniest tweets we’ve seen from a celebrity in quite some time. Jokingly, Clarkson even tweeted about arranging a marriage for her daughter with Wiz Khalifa’s son, Sebastian:

“So @wizkhalifa your son is adorable beyond words!! I’m thinking arranged marriage with our little nugget ha!”

Kelly’s commentary started off with some red carpet critiques and she didn’t stop until the 20115 Grammy Awards came to a close.

Musician Wes Cage opened up in a new interview with People, and he talks about how his child was able to save his life.

Seven months ago, Wes Cage and his wife, Danielle Cage, brought their son Lucian Cage into the world. Wes credits his son and family in general for being able to get him on the right track:

“It got to the point where people thought I was digging my grave. Lucian’s saved both of our lives, and we are very blessed to have him. It’s just a very joyous time right now.”

Wes, son of Nicolas Cage, goes on to talk about how he’s making sure his son gets early exposure to music:

“I want him to know what real guitar playing is, so I play Spanish music for him. We just spend skin-to-skin contact time and listen to flamenco music … he loves it.”

Mom-to-be Keira Knightley radiated the red carpet at the EE BAFTA British Academy Film Awards in London, England on Sunday (February 8).

Joined by husband James Righton, The Imitation Game actress, 29, looked stunning in a strapless black and white Giambattista Valli tulle gown.

In a recent interview with ELLE, Knightley dished on her maternity style.

“People do wear tight things when they’re pregnant. I don’t really go for that,” she shared. “Does it [being pregnant] make it harder? It just means that you’re not going to wear anything tight. Actually, the waist has disappeared, so I can’t do that.”

She went on to recall a funny story about her unique moniker.

“I was meant to be named ‘Kiera’, after a Russian ice skater who was on the TV one day,” she shared. “My dad fancied her and nicked her name for me. But it was my mum who went to register my birth, and she accidentally spelled ‘ei’ instead of ‘ie’ because my mum’s crap at spelling. Apparently, when she came back he said: ‘What the f*ck? You’ve spelt her name wrong!’ What were they going to do, though? Once it’s on the piece of paper, it’s on the piece of paper. And that’s me. A spelling error.”
