There was a Chanel party on Saturday night before the Oscars. Zoe Kravitz and Chris Pine were papped arriving together. It was reported that the two were dating six months ago and they also both ended up at Vanity Fair on Sunday night.
Can we talk about how much I love her style?
During a Monday appearance on The Tonight Show, Grammy Award-winning singer Christina Aguilera gushed about her two kids – son Max, 7, and 6-month-old daughter Summer – and played an amazing round of “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with host Jimmy Fallon.
“She’s a gem,” the Beautiful singer said of her baby girl, adding the differences in raising a boy and a girl. “There is a big sensitivity level. It takes a little while longer…to calm her down. She’s a girl. She’s more emotional. It takes her forever to quiet back down.”
That said, the proud mom boasted: “She’s the best.”
As for her son, it sounds like she’s got a bit of a daredevil on her hands.
“He gives me a heart attack,” Aguilera said of Max. “He comes home and he’s like, ‘Mom, I want to take parkour lessons.’ I’m like, ‘What is parkour?’…I had to figure it out, but it’s kind of like—do you guys know American Ninja Warrior? I’m kind of obsessed with it…I love it, but I don’t love it for him. I’m going to put him in gymnastics or something so he can focus and be good at maintaining his monkey abilities. He’s crazy. He’s like a little monkey.”
She added: “He’s so into being a daredevil. He literally is.”
And it sounds like her return to The Voice has gone very well.
“Every time I come back it gets easier and easier because they’ve got the routine down…It’s a good time,” she shared. “I just sit there and laugh all day and listen to their potty humor and dirty jokes. Thank God I can roll with it. It’s like having two grown babies as well.”
The mom-of-two also played a game of “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with Fallon. Watch below – Christina channeled Britney Spears and absolutely nailed it.
On its opening weekend, Fifty Shades of Grey made $81.7 million domestically. On its second weekend in theaters, the film dropped considerably… and yet it was still the #1 movie in America (and in many different countries). Fifty Shades made $23.2 million last weekend, a significant 73% drop in ticket sales. The drop was attributed to the fact that it was Oscar weekend and the fact that the East Coast was hit by another snowstorm. Still, the film is still doing really well overseas. Domestically, it’s made $130 million and internationally, it’s made $280 million. It’s a crazy-huge hit and the sequel will inevitably be made.
But as we discussed over the weekend, the sequel is already in major flux. The studio gave too much power to E.L. James, and Sam Taylor Johnson apparently wants out – Sam does not want to deal with E.L.’s crap for another film. And E.L. apparently wants to write the script for Fifty Shades Darker too, which… if it happens, will be an utter trainwreck. And now there are rumors that Jamie Dornan doesn’t even want to play Christian Grey again because… his wife has a problem with it? We’ve heard that before, haven’t we?
Will Jamie Dornan be coming back to play S&M businessman Christian Grey for two more films? Apparently not, according to some reports. Australian magazine NW claims to have the inside track on Dornan supposedly quitting the burgeoning franchise, which has broken all manner of box office records.
Seemingly the bad reviews and involved sex scenes – he’s married to actress Amelia Warner and has a 15-month-old daughter – may be giving the 32-year-old actor cold feet. The magazine quotes an ‘insider’ as saying: “Jamie said the movie would skyrocket his career. He tried to assure Amelia nothing would change but women all over the world now lust after Jamie. She hasn’t seen the film and I don’t think she will, to be honest. Jamie does not think his performance was bad – instead he blames Dakota and says it wasn’t possible to have chemistry with her. He says Dakota gave him nothing to work with.”
These are just rumours at the moment, with no confirmation from Dornan or Universal, but with many putting the fact that the movie wasn’t a total disaster down to Taylor-Johnson and scriptwriter Kelly Marcel’s efforts with the source material, it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise.

The original source for this story is an unreliable Aussie tabloid, and while I might be willing to believe that Jamie doesn’t really want to do a sequel, that doesn’t change the fact that he has a contract. It was my understanding that both Jamie and Dakota are contractually obligated for two sequels, and if Jamie wants out, it will cost him. Big time. As in, his career would never recover. As for Jamie blaming Dakota for his bad performance… well, they seemed to have zero chemistry in general, but Dakota actually got good reviews and Jamie didn’t. Maybe he should just eat it and do the sequel and try to prove that he actually can act his way out of a paper bag.

Proud mama Vanessa Lachey shared a sweet shot of husband Nick Lachey and their 2-year-old son Camden.
“My heart,” Vanessa Instagrammed the Big Morning Buzz Live host, 41, and his little boy sharing a smooch while wearing matching backwards flat-brims.
Camden recently became a big brother to baby sister, Brooklyn Elisabeth, whom arrived on Jan. 5.
“I have been dreaming of this moment for as long as I can remember, the day I was going to meet my little girl,” Vanessa, 34, wrote on her blog the day after she gave birth. “A friend recently told me how magical today was going to be because it’s the day I would meet my best friend.”

Aww, Hutton is so cute!
Beverley Mitchell welcomed Hutton back on January 28th, and she’s already trying her best to adjust to the new addition to her household. She took to Instagram to share a new picture of her adorable baby and talked about how she’s managing her newborn. She captioned the photo:
“We don’t have help so I have “stations” to help so I can get things done, like shower! Finally got one 4 Hutt while I get ready @fisherprice.” He’s so adorable!

Here are some assorted photos of Eddie Remayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe at the Oscars, the Oscar parties and at LAX yesterday, leaving LA as soon as the Oscar festivities were over. Hannah hasn’t been on his arm for every LA event, and he’s said several times that she has a job and her own schedule, that she doesn’t drop everything to be his plus-one at every occasion. That’s a good thing, in my opinion. It makes Eddie seem like he went for a woman of substance, a woman who prioritizes her work and having a career.
As for Eddie’s amazing Oscar win, as I said on Oscar night, I was all for it, but there is currently some backlash and online muttering about it. I ended up watching Birdman and The Theory of Everything within a 24 hour period (thanks CB!) and I really thought that in a head-to-head race between Michael Keaton and Eddie, Eddie should win. Don’t get me wrong, Keaton’s performance was very good. He was actually the best part of the film, alongside Ed Norton. But I thought Birdman was such a stupid movie, mostly because the story annoyed me and the “unreliable narrator” crap made me roll my eyes. While TTOE didn’t break the mold with storytelling, Eddie’s performance as Stephen Hawking was incredible and remarkable. It was in the vein of Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot (a performance that won Day-Lewis his first Oscar too).
Throughout it all, Eddie had the blessing of the towering icon he was playing as well – Stephen Hawking liked the film and publicly complimented the film and Eddie personally (Hawking is said to have flirted with Felicity Jones too). After Eddie’s win, Hawking wrote this on his Facebook:
Congratulations to Eddie Redmayne for winning an ?#?Oscar? for playing me in The Theory of Everything Movie. Well done Eddie, I’m very proud of you. –SH

Aw.
As for what’s next for Eddie, he’s currently working on The Danish Girl, the true story of “Danish artists Einar Wegener and his wife Gerda.” Eddie stars with Alicia Vikander and… Amber Heard?

We had some requests for MOAR Jennifer Aniston stuff, so here you go. The Aniston vs. ScarJo post yesterday was one of our biggest for the Oscar coverage, so I guess you guys still want to talk about it? Sure. As I said yesterday, I actually liked Aniston’s Versace dress. It was a relief to see her in something lighter, less prom-y and less “The Widow Pitt.” Was the dress super-flattering? Eh. But I was also thankful that her boobs weren’t falling out of her dress, you know?
Anyway, the above Instagram is from Vanity Fair – Mark Seliger took exclusive portraits of people partying at the VF Oscar party. I enjoy the fact that whenever Aniston is being photographed by a professional, her go-to move is to play with her hair. Classic Aniston! You can see the VF Instagram here – there are lots of great portraits.
The VF portrait wasn’t JustJen’s only social media appearance at the Oscars. Jennifer Lopez was also posting photos all night, and she took a selfie with JustJen in the background. It’s pretty cute:

What else? Let’s see… my body language analysis of Justin and Jennifer says that Jennifer is still very into him. Justin feels… I’m not sure. I couldn’t swear to it, but in some of the photos from the VF party especially, it looked like Justin was slightly embarrassed or just not that into Jennifer. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. But Jen did seem “extra” affectionate, like she was overcompensating.
And lastly, Reese Witherspoon goosed Jennifer on the Oscars red carpet.
