Congratulations are in order for Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher.
The country music superstar, 31, and her hockey player husband, 34, welcomed their first child – son Isaiah Michael Fisher – on Feb. 27, she announced via Instagram Tuesday.
“Tiny hands and tiny feet…God has blessed us with an amazing gift! Isaiah Michael Fisher – born on February 27. Welcome to the world, sweet angel!,” the proud new mom captioned the first photo of their newborn’s hand.
The American Idol winner – who was vegetarian throughout her pregnancy – announced her pregnancy news back in September.
“In honor of ‘Labor’ Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn’t be happier,” the Blown Away singer captioned a photo of her dogs wearing “I’m going to be a big brother” and “I’m going to be a big sister” shirts.
When asked if she’ll be taking a 2-year break from touring once the baby arrives, Carrie said, “Oh golly! Hopefully not that long, but I’ll be able to keep playing.”
Tiny hands and tiny feet…God has blessed us with an amazing gift! Isaiah Michael Fisher – born on February 27. Welcome to the world, sweet angel!

A month ago, we heard about an incident involving Paris Hilton’s younger brother Conrad. At some point in 2014, Conrad went berserk on an international flight. He was screaming at passengers, he was threatening to kill people, he was calling everyone a “peasant.” He tried to physically start several fights and at the end of the day, staff and passengers had to physically restrain him in his seat. Go here and here to read about what went down.
There was so much about this incident that bothered me. For one, it was an example of the very height of white male privilege. If Conrad Hilton had been a dark-skinned man or woman, the situation would have been handled so differently. Another problem? It seemed like the flight staff were focused merely on getting to their destination without having to make an unscheduled landing, even though this incident was enough to ground a plane. Hilton was going bonkers for HOURS mid-flight. And he admitted to all of it too, once the plane landed and he was detained and questioned by the FBI.
So, what’s happening to Conrad Hilton long-term? I said that he should be considered a terrorist and thrown into jail for 25 years. But he has good lawyers and white skin, so he was able to work out a really generous plea deal:
It was only last month that a federal criminal complaint revealed that Conrad Hilton—brother of Paris—had perpetrated a 10-hour rage-a-thon aboard a trans-Atlantic jet. Now GQ can exclusively report that last week, Hilton entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors pleading guilty to one count of simple assault, i.e. “intentionally using a display of force that reasonably caused a person to fear immediate bodily harm.” According to the plea agreement exclusively obtained by GQ.com, he faces a maximum sentence of six months’ imprisonment followed by a year of supervised release and a fine of $5,000.
[From GQ]
SERIOUSLY?! One count of assault? Six months in prison? A minor fine? WHAT. THE. HELL. I can’t believe the federal prosecutors agreed to this kind of stupid deal. It just makes them look like they’re bending over backwards to protect this violent punk.
GQ has a lengthy write-up of everything that went down on the plane too – go here to read. They spoke to several passengers and staffers, plus they quote at length from criminal complaint.

Cate Blanchett has been in LA for more than a week. She came to LA during Oscar weekend, attended a few events and presented at the Oscars. She stuck around to promote Cinderella, and I’m including some photos of Cate outside of the ABC Studios at the bottom of the post (in addition to the header pic, from Sunday night’s Cinderella premiere).
Here’s something interesting: Cate and her family are moving to LA permanently. Isn’t that weird? Cate and her family have never lived permanently in America. For a while, early in Cate’s film career, they lived in London. Then they moved to Australia and made Sydney their homebase. But Cate’s husband, Andrew Upton, told the Sydney Morning Herald that they will move to LA later this year, when their joint tenure at the Sydney Theatre Company comes to an end. He makes it sound like Cate wants to do more TV and film projects (and less theater) and he wants to do more freelance writing – go here to read his interview.
Meanwhile, Cate was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Here’s one part, where she talks about playing a wicked character and how fun it is:
And she finally sort of explains why she told Julia Roberts to “Hashtag Suck It” at the 2014 Oscars:

Justin Bieber turned 21 over the weekend, god help us all. I broke out the carseat photos as a celebratory measure, so please enjoy them at the bottom of the post. This picture ^^^ shows Bieber looking smug next to an unimpressed Seth Rogen at the 2011 MTV movie awards. This is where the grand rivalry began. Bieber apparently begged Seth to come meet him, and then he acted like a swaggy douche. Bieber played like Seth was the lucky one, and Seth wasn’t having it.
Seth didn’t say anything about Bieber right away. When Team Swag went off the deep end last year, Seth let his feelings fly: “Justin Bieber is a piece of sh-t. He seems like he’s obnoxious and ungrateful, insincere, and he puts people’s lives at danger and overall he acts like a piece of sh-t.” Bieber snapped back but sort of took the high road: “Follow Seth Rogan sorry I didnt bow down when I asked 2 meet u was probably a bit shy and didn’t want to be over the top but still. love ur movies.” Seth ignored the matter.
Bieber still has unresolved feelings. He keeps calling Seth, leaving him voicemails. Bieber’s being roasted by Comedy Central, and it would mean so much if Seth would insult him in person:
(1) @Sethrogen come on man. Check your voicemail. I took it like a man as u blasted a nervous kid fan of yours (me). Now I’m a man. Roast me!
(2): @Sethrogen I’m still your biggest fan. Even after “the interview.” That’s dedication. Roast me! Sincerely yours..the piece of sh*t..justin;)
(3) #WeWantSeth #BieberRoast
(4) Where are you now when I need you @Sethrogen. #WhereAreÜNow https://itun.es/i6BW9qL
[From Justin Bieber on Twitter]
I keep visualizing Swaggy calling Seth, and it’s not pretty (much like the answering machine scene from Swingers). He’s rallying his Beliebers like this is a major cause. Bieber needs to leave Seth alone! He’s acting like a little obsessive child who thinks he can hold his breath until he turns purple and still get his way. Seth has met Bieber’s tweets with radio silence. Good. Whiny baby needs to scramble back into his carseat.

This looks like sooooo much fun!
Jenelle Evans and her oldest son Jace, 4-years-old, had an absolute blast over the weekend! The mother and son duo hit up an indoor play area together, in which they jumped around, went into a foam block pit, and even played some ball games together. Jace had a blast and wore himself out by the time the day was over. Jenelle made sure to take a few pics of the awesome time they were having and she posted them up on Instagram.
Jenelle captioned one of her photos:
“Our smiles are always so big when we r together.”
Aww! Well, it certainly looks like they had a great time. Check out the photos in the slideshow below.

Ryan Reynolds is promoting his new film, Woman In Gold. I keep hearing that this film is bad, which is weird because every time I see the trailer, I think it looks completely enjoyable, perhaps even award-worthy (mostly because Helen Mirren is an international treasure). Is a tedious and basic film or do you think I would actually like it? Anyway, Ryan appeared on the Tonight Show last night and of course, he ended up talking about Sweet Baby James, his daughter. Except Ryan is very careful not to name her. So I guess we’re still playing that game.
He says that Baby James is “allergic to sleep,” or perhaps protecting her parents “from the sleep monsters.” So James is crying a lot and refusing to sleep? The baby is only two months old! She has stuff to say. Perhaps she’s crying so much because she realizes her parents named her JAMES.
Ryan also said: “The trick I try to use is that Baby Einstein stuff, but for me, that’s like horse tranquilizer. I could go down on a lit stove. You could push me out of an airplane.” But at the end of the day, “She’s got me wrapped around her finger. I am a slave to the rhythm…I can’t wait. It’s just going to be teatime every day with her.”
And here’s Ryan playing Egg Russian Roulette with Jimmy. This is pretty cute!

Almost exactly a year ago, Jared Leto posted a photo of himself with short hair on Instagram and it was a good day. Because I thought he actually did it. And because, sh-t, he looked hot in the picture. Click here for a refresher.
That was a tease.
This is not a tease.
I’m in love with my blonde hair!!! @traceycunningham1 you killed it with this color!!! ????????????

This was the “breaking hair news” yesterday, only yesterday was pretty Kardashian-intensive, so I saved this story for today. It seems that Khloe Kardashian went dramatically blonde over the weekend. This is not her first foray into blonde – when she was a lot younger, she was blonde for a while. And over the past three or four years, she’s done various blondes a couple of times, hasn’t she? I actually think Khloe’s natural hair color is lighter than her sisters’ hair. Both Kim and Kourtney are dark brunettes and Khloe tends to dye her hair darker to fit in with them. When really, her different coloring and different body type probably belies her different paternal lineage.
So, will Khloe stick with this color? Eh. Khloe is going through some physical changes with the Pinocchio Butt, the lip injections, the breast implants (I’m pretty sure) and her internal-organ-defying waist-training. Does she want to look more or less “Kardashian”? I don’t know. I have to say, I don’t think she looks half bad with the blonde though.
Meanwhile, even People Magazine says that Khloe is probably going to be Kelly Osbourne’s replacement on E!’s Fashion Police. As we discovered last week, Kris Jenner scored a reported $100 million, four-year deal with E! that not only covers the reality show and various spin-offs, but will include Kardashians in various other E! shows. Which means Khloe was already heading towards being one of E!’s red carpet commentators, and now E! is close to making it official.
E! may not have to look very far for Kelly Osbourne’s replacement. PEOPLE has confirmed that Khloé Kardashian is interested in joining Fashion Police now that Osbourne has left the show.
A source told PEOPLE that discussions with Kardashian, 30, are already underway, and that Giuliana Rancic would like to see the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star to join the show.
Kardashian is hardly a stranger to red carpet kommentary. She was one of several E! personalities that the network dispatched to the Oscars for its pre-show coverage. She also did a stint on E! News from 2013-14, in addition to starring in her own spinoff Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons.
Do we just have to close our eyes and accept this? Ugh. The Kardashian women are so awful at this kind of think-on-your-toes live coverage. I mean, sure, give Khloe a chance to audition, maybe even give her a tryout. But she’s going to be awful.
