Chopped: Canada star Dean McDermott was photographed with son Liam, 8, in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Thursday (June 11). The father-son duo stepped out together for a doctor’s appointment.
On Monday, we spotted the entire Spelling-McDermott family – including Tori Spelling and Stella, 7, Hattie, 3, and Finn, 2 – at the Hollywood premiere of Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out.
Following Dean’s highly publicized cheating scandal, the Hollywood couple have been working hard to get strong for their four kids.
“Things are a work in progress, but the family is quite happy right now,” a source recently told PEOPLE of the couple. “They are in a good place.”
McDermott, 48, took to Instagram with some pics of his kids, including his 16-year-old son Jack with ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.
“Having a cuddle with my eldest Jackyboy. #nevertooold #lovemyboy,” he captioned the image with his oldest child.

Zoe Saldana is everywhere all of a sudden. More excerpts from her InStyle interview surfaced. She talks about her Nina Simone movie, which she filmed in 2012 and still hasn’t made it into theaters. I guess this is still happening. Zoe said, “I didn’t think I was right for the part, and I know a lot of people will agree, but I don’t think Elizabeth Taylor was right for Cleopatra either. An artist is colorless, genderless .. It’s more complex than just ‘Oh, you chose the Halle Berry look-alike to play a dark, strikingly beautiful, iconic black woman.’ The truth is, they chose an artist who was willing to sacrifice herself.” Zoe discussed the Liz Taylor casting before, but she sounds more negative now. Maybe she just wants this film to come out, so she can stop talking about it.
Zoe also visited Jimmy Kimmel last night to talk about her other new movie, Infinitely Polar Bear, which is about a father with bipolar disorder. The dad is played by Mark Ruffalo, so it should be a good performance. Saldana plays Ruffalo’s wife. The topic shifted to parenting, and Zoe admitted how hard is to put her own twin babies to sleep. She and Mr. Marco Saldana are both tearing their lovely manes from their heads:
“Sleep training twins is no joke because you put one to sleep and you lay him down, and the other one has been asleep, but then that one wakes up and the other one wakes up so then everybody’s crying, then my husband and I are crying…You’re like, ‘Oh, my God!’”
“It’s overwhelming because there are so many different methods. Just the other day, my sister, who has a 9-month-old, shared with us the method that she did. She brought the piece of paper and grabbed us both with a bottle of vodka. She goes, ‘What do you guys have?’ That’s how her and her husband did it. Because the moment you hear your child cry, it’s like it rips the guts out of you. And it’s like, we have two. It’s crazy. So there’s a bottle of Skinnygirl and we had the monitor with the volume all the way high. We have this little note thing, this log that you have to be logging in all the time. We put them down, say ‘mommy and daddy love you’ in Italian and Spanish — well get to that later — and then we walk out and they’re having a meltdown. So then you have to time it, then you go in. And my sister, I’m like, ‘Can we go in? Can we go in?’ ‘OK, go in now.’ And we go in and I’m like, ‘What do we do?’ No eye contact, just say ‘mommy and daddy love you’ — in Italian and Spanish—and she would come pull us out. So by the third time, it had been 45 minutes already. We were kind of buzzed. It’s heart wrenching. My husband doesn’t drink and he’s like, ‘Gimme that bottle!’”
“So then we go and we just finally abort. We abort mission. We take our kids. I take one, he takes the other, and we’re both crying. The boys’ bodies are, like, their bodies are weeping…and you go, ‘Oh, my God, he’s never going to forgive me for this.’ And then, Marco and I are talking in the room going, ‘It’s not for us. It’s too archaic. There has to be a more gentle method. They did it because they’re insensitive. They don’t care about their children.’”
[From E! Online]
Kimmel told Zoe she should have the twins sleep in separate bedrooms, but Zoe said, “They were born together. It’s unnatural to separate them. In my mind, it just makes sense.” Well in my mind, this sounds like a nightmare. Two screaming babies! One at a time was enough for me, and I admit to never being able to let my baby cry it out. Perhaps out of laziness, I gave in and picked her up (she’s fine now). Zoe also said her twins would be trilingual (English and Italian and Spanish).
Here’s a Kimmel clip where Zoe talks about Marco taking her name.

Did you know that Idris Elba is a fashion designer? He is, sort of. Idris worked with the label Superdry to create a 250-piece collection for the Fall 2015 season. These photos are from a launch event last night in London, and I’m sort of assuming that Big Driis is wearing Idris Elba + Superdry clothing. According to THR, the collection features “knitwear, fine thread tailored shirting, washed denim and luxury sportswear in a cool color palette of graphite grays, midnight and cobalt blues and jet black.” That’s sort of hot, because Idris knows his wheelhouse. While he looks incredible in suits, he enjoys mixing it up with sportswear and knits and he could basically wear a burlap sack and we would all be drooling. Mm… sack.
The collection will be sold in Superdry stores, some department stores and online starting in November of this year. Idris worked with the designers James Holder and Julian Dunkerton first hand. This was Idris’s statement:
“I like to look and feel great in what I wear and, like Superdry, quality and fit are important to me. Having the opportunity to collaborate on a clothing range has been an amazing experience.”

Hot. And of course they released a preview of the ad campaign and you know this fine-ass man is the face (and BODY) of the campaign. Bless him. I needed this today. To be fair, I need Idris EVERY DAMN DAY.

Not long now! Sofia Hellqvist will be an official member of the Swedish royal family by the end of the weekend. Sofia will marry Prince Carl Philip tomorrow and we’ll probably (hopefully) have photos posted on Sunday. I’m excited to see her dress! I wonder if she’s gone with a Swedish designer or if she went with a big-name internationally-known fashion designer. I wonder if she’ll do sleeves. I wonder if she’ll get to wear one of the royal family’s lovely tiaras. Yay, royal wedding!
Anyway, Sofia briefly spoke to Hello Magazine ahead of her Saturday wedding. There had been widespread reports that Sofia had undergone some “princess training,” much in the vein of Duchess Kate’s very alleged pre-wedding “princess training.” I still side-eye Kate’s training, because if she had any training, it clearly didn’t stick or it wasn’t as comprehensive as it should have been (Rule #1 of Princess Training: Don’t show the royal biscuit at every opportunity). So, when Sofia spoke to Hello, they asked about this alleged princess training. Her response was… interesting.
While most brides experience a slight flutter of nerves before their big day, Sofia Hellqvist’s vows come with an additional role – that of princess.
“No matter how much you read up on it, it’s hard to compare with real life experience,” says Hellqvist in a new interview appearing in Hello!.
On Thursday, the bride-to-be was spotted alongside other members of the photogenic Swedish royal family at a wedding rehearsal at the Royal Palace in Stockholm, reports Swedish newspaper Expressen. When asked if she attended “Princess School,” the former reality TV star replies, “I don’t know what you mean by princess school, but if it is knowledge and experience about my future as the wife of a prince, then I definitely have.”
All her training will soon come into play as she prepares to wed her fiancé race car-driving Prince Carl Philip of Sweden at the royal palace on on Saturday in a ceremony attended by hundreds and watched by millions. Once married, the 30-year-old’s full title will be HRH Princess Sofia, Duchess of Varmland.
In the interview, the couple talk about wedding planning and how important it was to put a personal stamp on things like music and flowers amongst the pomp and ceremony that come with a royal wedding. “I think it makes us feel safe – that once we’re there, no one else has done it. It’s ours,” reveals Hellqvist.
I’ll give Sofia some credit for something: I think she’s probably hungrier for it than the glossed-over upper-crust girls who usually marry into royal families. Sofia probably did get some kind of princess training and she hopefully hustled her way through it and retained a lot. We’ll see. From waitress to lad-mag-model to reality star to princess. Am I think only who thinks of poor Duchess Kate and how her path was so much harder?
PS… As someone who has guilty-pleasure-watched The Princess Diary movies, I think Princess School is a concept that could easily be made into a movie. The movie would either be a light comedy romp or a very, very dark drama.

Do you think Jennifer Aniston is culture snob? I do not. I think she has tried unsuccessfully to be a culture snob in the past, but at a certain point, no one was buying it and she gave up. Nowadays, she freely admits to watching trash TV and reading silly self-help books, just like everybody else. During her failed Oscar campaign, didn’t she even admit to watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette? Yes, she did. She called those shows “great junk food” and a “train wreck.” Well, she has another junk-TV show: Keeping Up with the Kardashians. No, Jen, no!!! Some more highlights from her endlessly parceled-out People Magazine interview:
She loves KUWTK: ”I sadly am very much interested in the Kardashian-Jenner thing. That’s a guilty pleasure for sure.”
On Caitlyn Jenner’s VF cover: ”I thought it was beautiful.”
Taking over Living Proof’s Instagram for a day: “I was so stressed out, sweating bullets. It was too much pressure. For these Kardashians, it’s a career!”
She’s worried about social media’s larger effect: “Kids aren’t speaking to each other anymore. I was with friends of ours from Vermont and their two kids don’t have an iPhone or an iPad. They were 9 and 12 and were the most interesting young adults. Seeing other kids on their [phones] all the time, it makes me sad.”
She hasn’t named all of her chickens: “We attempted to do that, but there are 17 of them now. I’ve lost track because they all look alike! We did get two baby chicks as a gift named Justin and Jen.”
[From People Magazine]
“I’ve lost track because they all look alike.” Jennifer Aniston is racist about chickens!! CHICKEN RACE WAR. Ha, since I know there will be some Jen Hens (literally!!!) butthurt about that, it was a joke. Aniston is not racist about chickens. But please feel free to make some hashtags about that happen. #AnistonIsRacistAboutChickens #AnistonThinksAllChickensLookAlike
As for her interest in Keeping Up with the Kardashians… I’m not judging her. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? It’s a lazy weekend, you’re flipping through the channels and you end up watching the Kardashian sisters get bikini waxes or something and you get stuck. Your mind wanders and actually form opinions about them. “Kourtney is so dumb and self-centered,” you think to yourself. “Kim actually makes a good point there.” That’s how they get you.
