I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I wish more people cared about Naya Rivera, because she is a mess. She and Big Sean broke off their engagement, and she literally just went and found a dude and used her old wedding plans to marry some guy, Ryan Dorsey. It was gloriously tacky. She and Ryan are currently expecting their first child, and Naya has been blogging about her pregnancy for People Magazine. Her most recent blog post got some headlines this week because she talks about pregnancy sex in the second trimester and the “second trimester slump” of forgetting that you’re pregnant. You can read the full piece here. This is the relevant portion:

During my second trimester, I felt like the black cloud of extreme fatigue had lifted and I was 100 percent myself again. I was ready to hit the town in a cute outfit, grab cocktails with my girls, have wild sex with my husband … Oh, but wait, I’m still pregnant.

There were times during my second trimester when I felt so good that I forgot I was still carrying a child. This mind f— of trickery led to what I believe should be called “the second trimester slump.” Yes, it was amazing to finally not have to deal with the misery and discomfort most women face in their first trimester. But how awful is it to feel like your old self again, but not be able to participate in any of those fun activities you once took for granted?

During this time I had many a vivid dream about martinis and the occasional cigarette that felt so real I found myself panicking when I awoke thinking that I must have sleep smoked or drank. I didn’t of course, but was deeply repressing my urge for my old life.

Other things changed as well. Things like sex with my husband became a bit odd for me due to the fact that I was now limited to about two positions in order to not squash — as my husband puts it — “it’s roof” or have the baby (my belly) staring him in the face. I feel like men are constantly imagining their baby winking at them when they make love to their pregnant wives thus making sexy times more few and far between.

Only two positions? Try harder! No, seriously, I have never been pregnant so I can’t speak to this personally, but someone give Naya a copy of the Kama Sutra so she and Ryan can figure out that there are many positions that don’t involve pressure on a woman’s abdomen/bump. There are also lots of positions that don’t involve the man being face-to-bump.

Since this is coming off a Taylor Swift post, let me clarify off the top now: this is not about Taylor Swift. Or anyone who hangs out with Taylor Swift – at least not yet. You need to go more down market.

At the beginning of her career, this one did have friends. They’d room together, auditio…      

Here are the new character posters for Guillermo del Toro’s horror film Crimson Peak, which will be out this fall. This is for all the people who needed a quick Tommy fix. Oddly enough, I have no feels about Tom’s character poster. Charlie Hunnam’s poster is the one that gave me pause. Is it just me or did they Photoshop Hunnam to look like some kind of Tom Hardy hybrid? Hm. Anyway, don’t get distracted. I know the Hunnam-fans will be seeing this no matter what, but I’m pretty sure Tom is the guy, the lead, the star.

Should I be worried about Tom? He hasn’t tweeted since April. He’s been working back-to-back. He came off a really strict diet. And he just doesn’t seem as playful as he used to seem. Remember when Tommy was a dancing bear? Remember when he would recite sonnets to waterfowl? Sigh… I miss that version. He’s also going to start filming on Kong: Skull Island at some point, maybe this year.

Oh, and did you know that some people (Dragonflies) are trying to get Tom’s name on the “shortlist” for James Bond? Damian Lewis is considered the favorite this week, and now that fans are just naming random people, sure, why not Tom Hiddleston for James Bond? He would be a pretty dorky choice for Bond, but I would enjoy that. Really, really enjoy that.

Here’s the trailer for Crimson Peak again:

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez went out for lunch yesterday. And there were a lot of paps around to document the event. Conveniently this happened just after Madonna released the poster for her new video – which has finally dropped on Tidal (so, naturally, I’m waiting for it to be made available o…      

Miley Cyrus wore a wild, heart-print Moschino dress to last night’s amfAR event in NYC. The dress was custom designed by Jeremy Scott, and his designs do well on Miley. She looks gorgeous even though she’s flashing her armpit hair. Remember how faded and sad she looked at the Met Gala? There was none of that last night. Miley had a fantastic time and barely stood still. She was honored for her work in the fight against AIDS. Miley raised $66,900 for her bedazzled Caitlyn Jenner artwork during the auction.

Miley’s date was writer Tyler Ford, who has featured recently on her Instagram page:

sMeet Tyler (@tywrent), a 24 year old living in New York City, and my date for @amfar tonight!!! Tyler is a queer, biracial, agender person, whose pronouns are they/them/theirs. Tyler shares about their identity, experiences and hopes saying: “My whole life, I was led to believe that there were only two genders. I thought I had to shrink myself to fit into a box that was never going to contain me. It took years for me to find words for my gender identity, and to feel comfortable expressing myself as I am.”

[From Miley Cyrus on Instagram]

Another thing happened last night. Tish Cyrus brought her boobs to the event. Billy Ray looks like he wants to disappear, but that’s his general expression these days.

Andy Cohen was also honored at this event. He looked dashing in white.

Victoria Justice wore my favorite dress of the evening. This is a Donna Karan number, and it’s so classic and beautiful.

Laverne Cox looked like a stone cold fox. She made cutouts work. Amazing.

Tyson Beckford wore ripped up jeans to the event. Classy.

Ellen Barkin wore a royal blue dress and an amazing diamond necklace/bracelet combo.

Anja Rubik wore the craziest dress! I think this is Moschino too, but I could be wrong.

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian outside of the DASH store in LA yesterday, ruining what was probably a planned photo-op and pap-stroll. Considering the sheer number of photos of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, the paparazzi got the tip to be outside of the DASH store at a certain time. And then Kim didn’t want to wear her sunglasses and thus she ruined the photo-op by shielding her eyes. Ugh. So, her outfit. She’s really starting to gain weight, but she still insists on wearing midriff-baring ensembles. Poor Kim.

Radar’s sources claim this week that Kim is really not ready to have another baby because North has already overwhelmed her. She might have to – GASP! – hire another nanny. Ha.

The family “does not think she is ready to handle another child!” According to the source, Kardashian, 34, “can barely take care of one kid as it is.” Kardashian has admitted to having hired help to deal with daughter North, who just turned two.

“But having a second child will give her even more reason to hire more help,” says the source.

Even after announcing that she is expecting a second bundle of joy to add to her family, Kardashian has not slowed down at all.

“Everyone knows that you can be a functionally working mother with one child,” the source tells radar. “But they’re worried that Kim won’t be able to handle two kids. She’ll need to get even more outside help than she already has.”

[From Radar]

Lord, are we even supposed to be pearl-clutchy about this? Of course Kim and Kanye are going to hire more nannies. That being said, I think that Kim and Kanye both have done a better job at being hands-on parents now that North is a little bit older. When North was really little, I don’t think Kanye was around that much and it seemed like Kris Jenner was mainly taking care of North. I expect the second kid will be different.

Also – Kim doesn’t know how to spell Giorgio Armani. I would make fun of her for that, but I have to look up “Giorgio” every time too, because I am a terrible speller. You can read about Kim’s Twitter incident here.

Last thing – Kim did a video for Glamour.com. It’s like a “Where Will I Be In Ten Years” sort of thing. It’s pretty vapid, but what did you expect?

The first thing I want you to do is not reflexively roll your eyes at the idea of “Lifetime movie”. Did you learn nothing from Taraji P. Henson last week, who was so proud of the breakthrough she accomplished and the Emmy nomination that resulted on her last Lifetime movie? Click here for a refre…      

I’m guessing that People Magazine’s Duchess Kate and Prince George covers must be consistently great sellers, because People really goes overboard putting the Cambridges on cover after cover. This week’s People cover is “Kate & George: Inside Their Sweet Bond” which is just an excuse for what I’m assuming will be at least ten pages of photos of Kate and George rolling down a hill at William’s weekend polo match. And here’s People’s big exclusive: George is constantly moving.

At nearly 2, Prince George has just one mode: go. The full-throttle toddler “is running around constantly,” a source who recently spent time with his mom, Princess Kate, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.

“George doesn’t let her have a minute to herself,” adds the source.

For her part, the new mom – to daughter Charlotte, born May 2 – is happy to rewrite the traditional rules of royal parenting, including making sure her son has free rein to enjoy a playful, messy childhood.

[From People]

I kind of think George has been running Kate ragged ever since he was born. He was a fussy baby who cried constantly, then he became a grumpy-faced baby who punched other babies, and now he’s a toddler hellbent on making his mom do what he wants to do. And I say… good for George! It good to see so much personality. I also think Will and Kate will probably have an easier time with Charlotte – Charlotte already seems to be a more easy-going baby than George ever was.

PS… the striped shirt Kate wore for the polo outing is a $75 top from Me+Em. It sold out as soon as the photos came out and now there’s a two-month wait for it. Kate seriously has at least a dozen blue-and-white striped shirts though, but I’ll admit it – this one does have a cute fit.

Beautiful family alert!

Supermodel Cindy Crawford was all smiles with her two children – son Presley, 15, and daughter Kaia, 13 – at Omega’s screening of The Hospital In The Sky in Hong Kong on Tuesday (June 16).

“On the *blue* carpet last night with @kaiagerber and @presleygerber in Hong Kong,” Cindy Instagrammed a shot at the event. “Loved being here for @omega’s screening of the documentary we did in Peru with @orbisintl and their flying eye hospital. #omegaorbisteddy.”

On Monday, the model mom, 49, posted a photo of her two kids in Hong Kong.

“Look who was hiding in my suitcase! Welcome to Hong Kong, @presleygerber and @kaiagerber,” she captioned the city shot.

In case you thought the rumors of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s impending divorce were overblown, US Magazine is running an upcoming cover story about the couple’s alleged marital problems. It has a whiff of truth, like a publicist is preparing the public and/or gauging the response. US usually doesn’t run cover stories unless they have solid sources and they’re calling this an “exclusive.” Enough time has passed since the original tabloid reports to suggest that US isn’t just piling on. Plus we know that these two have spent important dates apart (like Jennifer’s birthday and Mother’s Day), and Ben has a well deserved reputation as a carouser and gambler. It seems inevitable that the guy who ditched J.Lo right before their wedding would get antsy after being married for ten years. Here’s the teaser for US’s story, with more promised in the upcoming print edition.

After nearly a decade as husband and wife, the parents of three are well past the honeymoon period. In fact, they’re smack in the middle of a marriage crisis, insiders reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly.

Rumors of a split have dogged the couple off and on for years, but this time, sources say, there may be something to them. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” one insider shares in the new issue. “The marriage is in trouble.”

It has been for some time, too. According to a second source, the Gone Girl star, 42, and the Dallas Buyers Club actress, 43, “have had problems from the very beginning.” Among their biggest issues? Affleck’s “workaholic” nature and “many vices.”

Insiders say their kids — Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3 — are the glue that’s just barely holding them together. But as one source says, “things are not all peaches and cream with them.”
(A rep for the Batman v Superman star declined to comment on Us Weekly’s cover story; Garner’s rep could not be reached.)

For the full inside story on Ben and Jen’s marriage crisis — including their time apart, years of therapy, and tense home life — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

I dislike that expression “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Just because something is suspected doesn’t mean it’s true. Still, there’s enough circumstantial evidence here to suggest that these two are having serious issues. This report has me worried. Could The Enquirer have been right about the fact that they’re going to announce a divorce before their tenth anniversary? That’s on the 29th of June, so this story seems strategically timed. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m kind of sad for their kids and hope this isn’t true.

These photos are of Ben and Jen out at the farmer’s market with their children on Sunday. They’ve been spotted by the paps much more frequently lately, which could be good or bad it’s hard to tell. Credit: FameFlynet. Frontpage image credit: Pacific Coast News
