I have to give it to Alexa Chung – this might be one of her strongest editorials ever. Usually, I’m so meh on Alexa. I don’t understand why she’s a thing, especially in the UK, which is where so many people seem to worship her style and “look.” Harper’s Bazaar UK put Alexa on their July cover and they just released these photos. Unfortunately, they did not release anything from the interview. Too bad. Because I’d like to know if Alexa is going to publicly lay claim to Alexander Skarsgard. We first heard rumors about Alexa and Alex back in February of this year. It seemed, from the gossip and fan-sightings, to be a newish thing. Then there were more sightings of them at Paris Fashion Week in March. And then… nothing. But Us Weekly says they are still happening!
New couple alert! True Blood fans may be disappointed to learn that vampire hunk Alexander Skarsgard is officially off the market. The sexy Swedish actor, 38, is dating British model and TV personality Alexa Chung, Us Weekly exclusively reveals.
“It is serious and has really heated up,” a source tells Us of the new couple. Another source adds, “It’s a fun relationship for both of them. She’s just about as busy as he is and it’s not really feasible [for them] to become a more committed couple, but the hang outs are great.”
The pair were spotted on a romantic date in Brooklyn, N.Y.’s Prospect Park and Botanical Gardens on Friday, May 29. They got cozy together under a tree and took photos of one another around the grounds.
Chung, 31, shared a shot of herself taken by Skarsgard on her Instagram account, writing, “O rose, thou are sick!”
Skarsgard previously dated actress Kate Bosworth from 2009 to 2011, and Chung was in a four-year relationship with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner until July 2011.

You can see Alex’s photo of Alexa posted on her Instagram here. It’s a cute photo. So, do you think that Alexa and Alex went from causal hookups to super-serious in about four months? Sure, it could happen. I think he was single and ready to mingle for a while, and there were stories about Alex with various ladies for months, but then Alexa came into the picture and suddenly there weren’t any stories about Alex making out with that lady or this lady. Here’s the weird thing: Alex Skarsgard has the same taste in girlfriends as Chris Martin. If Alexa and Alex ever break up, will Alex go for Gwyneth Paltrow? Yikes at the thought of that.

Pop superstar Britney Spears shared a sweet snapshot on her Instagram page.
Looking beautiful in all black, the mom-of-two, 33, was all smiles posing with sons Preston, 9, and Jayden, 8.
On Friday, the “proud skate mom” posted a photo of her boys and their skateboards.
And on Mother’s Day, the Toxic hitmaker shared another shot with her boys.
“Feeling so special and proud to be a mom to these handsome boys. Love them!,” she wrote.
The Grammy Award-winning singer – who recently returned to her Las Vegas show after taking some time off to recover from a spill onstage – co-parents the boys with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

This is easily one of the funniest Benedict Cumberbatch stories ever. It’s just really, really random. Which means that I sort of believe it. It’s now pretty much confirmed that Benedict and Sophie bought a new townhouse in London for £2.7 million. Some of the Cumberbitches believe that the townhouse isn’t really big enough for a whole Cumberbrood, and that Benedict will still be keeping his bachelor pad (which he had previously shared with his long-time girlfriend Olivia). The theory was that Sophie made him buy a new place because she didn’t want to live in the same place he had lived with Olivia. But what if Sophie just wanted to find a way to get Benedict to edit his massive collection of bird paraphernalia?
When Benedict Cumberbatch and his heavily pregnant wife Sophie Hunter move into their new house in North London, they may find their biggest obstacle is not logistics, but the meaning of the word ‘nesting’.
Because while theatre director Sophie, 37, is no doubt keen to adapt their £2.7 million property to family life, the 38-year-old Sherlock star will also be planning for another arrival.
I hear he has a secret fascination with birds — the winged variety, of course — and plans to transfer the impressive collection of toy birds and gold bird cages that he has amassed in his Hampstead bachelor pad.

Granted, a bird fascination isn’t as funny as a fascination with otters. Or lizards. Or aliens. Or whatever else you want to call Benedict. Is Benedict a closeted bird-obsessive? Is that a dealbreaker? The thing is… of all of the obsessions and interests to have, I kind of think this is harmless. So he digs toy birds and bird cages. It’s a thing. And it’s sort of cute. But I can imagine Sophie is trying to get rid of all that stuff. It doesn’t go with her amazing, operatic, intellectual artiste lifestyle.

Furious 7 actress Jordana Brewster was photographed with son Julian, 20 months, in their Brentwood, Calif. neighborhood on Saturday (May 30).
Sporting stripes and denim, the Fast & Furious star, 35, pushed her tot in a car push toy.
Last month, we spotted the mother-son duo strolling with the same push toy.
Julian’s father is Jordana’s husband of 8 years, film producer Andrew Form.
The actress recently shared a sweet snapshot with her son via Instagram.
i love this picture of me and baby J taken by the very talented @annievovan for her “art for art” series

The CFDA Awards were held last night. It’s sort of like the Met Gala only it’s a pretty traditional red carpet and it really is about the designers and their work and their muses. So, obviously, a lot of fashion girls came out to celebrate their favorite designers. I’m breaking these photos up into two posts! First, let’s start with Gigi Hadid, who got a lot of attention for being one of the few women in the world with the ability to rock the hell out of a jumpsuit/onesie. This is by Michael Kors, who has been doing sort of an ode of 1970s Halston lately. It works here. It works really well. How in the world is Leonardo DiCaprio not all over Gigi?
Victoria Beckham in her own label – Posh is sort of like Liz Hurley to me at this point, like I don’t even pay attention to what she’s wearing because it all looks the same. That being said, this dress is decent.
Ashley Judd in Badgley Mischka. This seems like a very “beauty queen” look for this event.
Karlie Kloss in Diane Von Furstenberg polka dots. She wore flats! I’m not big into polka dots but this is okay. My only problem is that the plunging neckline doesn’t suit her.
Jemima Kirke was one of my worst-dressed! She wore this completely unflattering Rosie Assoulin two-piece gown. Bad, bad, bad. The lipstick shade is terrible too.
Vanessa Hudgens wore a boring Sachin & Babi NOIR mullet dress.
Taraji P. Henson in custom Vera Wang. This is a great look! Great color for her and a very flattering design.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. OMG. They look like they’re in their 60s. They also look like they’re trying to ape Cara Delevingne’s Angry Baby eyebrows.

Expectant parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West attended the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards at the Lincoln Center in New York City on Wednesday (June 1).
Sporting a custom Proenza Schouler gown, the pregnant reality star, 34, struck a pose next to her rapper hubby, 37, in all black.
This marks the first red carpet appearance for the couple since announcing their second pregnancy.
“To be honest, I’ve had really bad morning sickness, day sickness, night sickness — I can barely get out of bed,” Kim told Us at the event. “It’s a very different type of pregnancy from my first one, but I’m so grateful to be pregnant when we didn’t even think it was going to happen for us [so] I don’t care how sick I am.”
What did the KUWTK star think of Bruce Jenner introducing Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair?
“She looked so beautiful,” Kim told E! News. “I’m so proud of her and she’s so inspiring. She wants to help others and get a good message out there.”
She added: “I think we have a big platform on social media and we do use it for good. I started to follow Caitlyn’s Twitter account today and I’m so excited for her.”
The expectant mama took to Instagram after the NYC event.
“Date night,” Kim captioned the photo with her husband.
Date night!

The annual CFDAs were held last night – that stands for Council of Fashion Designers of America. Anna Wintour is actually a big part of making the CFDAs another major fashion event, like the Met Gala. All the designers come out and they bring some of their best and brightest fashion girls. To mixed results. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West decided to attend this year, which makes sense because Kanye has encouraged Kim to branch out more with her label-consciousness. For this event, Kim showed off her small baby bump in a custom-made Proenza Schouler. I don’t really like this, but it could have been a lot worse.
Incidentally, Kim chatted with E! on the red carpet about her pregnancy and she told the story of how she told Kanye she was knocked up: “I took a pregnancy test and then took a shower. I looked by the sink and I said, ‘Babe I’m pregnant!’”
Julianna Margulies showed off her panties in this Michael Kors gown. I feel like she’s deflecting from all the stories about how she was a major bitch to Archie Panjabi.
Diane Kruger in Prabal Gurung. Great look for her. Joshua Jackson was there too, but they didn’t walk the red carpet together.
Amanda Seyfried in Rodarte. Cute. I actually expected more women to wear frothy little cocktail dresses like this.
I like the idea of January Jones’ J. Mendel ensemble more than I like the execution. Like, if this had been a clean, tailored pair of cigarette pants and a well-cut bustier, it might have worked. But this just looks really sloppy and cheap.
Katie Holmes in satin Ralph Lauren. It’s sort of a moss-green color, which is pretty on her, but I’m not really feeling this.
I know Bedhead sort of likes Chrissy Teigen but she plucks my last nerve. This dress is by Solace London and I’m not a fan. It’s so poorly designed that it ripped at the event too.
