Here are some photos of Stephanie March from May 6th that I never got around to posting. She was attending Mariska Hargitay’s Joyful Heart fundraiser (sidenote: I love Mariska so much for starting Joyful Heart, which funds sexual violence education and therapeutic vacations for survivors of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence). This was Stephanie’s first (and only) big public appearance since separating from Bobby Flay in April.

Flay filed for divorce shortly after March announced their split, and ever since then, they’ve been lobbing bombs at each other publicly and privately. Like, Flay canceled all of their joint credit cards and he’s insisting on following the strict terms of their pre-nup. Meanwhile, Stephanie has made sure everyone knows that Flay cheated on her with his assistant (allegedly!). So what’s new with this messy divorce? March is still trying to trying to get the court to set aside the prenup. And her lawyers have a new argument!

Bobby Flay’s estranged wife claims she was the famous chef’s secret sauce … that nothing went on a plate in his restaurant unless it passed her taste test. We’ve learned Stephanie March has filed legal docs to set aside their prenup, claiming in part it’s unconscionable to enforce an agreement that leaves her with table scraps when she’s the reason he became wildly successful.

She claims Bobby told her she has “an amazing palate” and relied on her to taste test his recipes. She says she sampled a number of items at their home and gave thumbs up and down, which led to the finished product. She specifically cites Bobby’s NYC restaurant, Bar Americain.

We’re told in her argument to the judge she zeroes in on Bobby’s famed NYC restaurant, Bolo, (which, ironically, didn’t last). Stephanie says during a vacation to Spain she pushed him into including tapas on the menu — something she says he was against. But Stephanie says she prevailed, and the restaurant became an enormous success, earning 3 stars from the New York Times. Stephanie says she was also heavily involved in the design and ambience of all of Bobby’s restaurants, right down to music and lighting.

Stephanie is trying to undo the prenup, which provides her with $5k a month. She’d also get around $1 million as a buyout for the family home. We’re told Bobby is firm … his business is successful because of him, not Stephanie.

I have mixed feelings about this whole thing. I mean… their marriage was not some quickie six-month haze. They were married for a decade and she was his wife and partner. She helped him psychologically and emotionally for ten long years (while he fooled around on her), and her presence on his arm gave him an added air of respectability (even though we still heard all of the cheating rumors). I’m sure she did help out and have input on various aspects of his businesses and I’m sure her contributions had some kind of financial benefits. But it does seem like March is going a little bit overboard with how she tries to get the prenup thrown out. Still, I do hope that the pre-nup gets thrown out. Or maybe Bobby Flay just decides to give her a one-time settlement to get her to stop running to the press.

Oh, and the NYDN says that they had a court hearing yesterday and afterwards, Flay’s publicist was seen briefing the press. March ran over to Flay and bitched him out because no one is supposed to be talking to the press. Rii-ight.

10 years ago, Tom Cruise made Oprah’s couch famous (happy #TBT!) http://t.co/FRQbGQZb9J pic.twitter.com/okKnc3KnDO

— People magazine (@people) May 21, 2015

Mission Impossible 5 premieres at the end of July, and a ton of Tom Cruise stories have come out. Look up there ^^^. It’s time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Tom couch jumping on Oprah. Time flies when one rolls with Xenu.

Tom’s a tabloid favorite this week. I’ve included several more photos of Tom’s barely-there weight gain to play 300-pound, drug-running pilot Barry Seal. Tom’s movie car broke down on the Mena set yesterday, and he got out, popped the hood, and looked underneath the car. Kaiser and I think his hair is rocking an Elvis vibe.

Tom features in two stories in this week’s Enquirer. The first story isn’t much, just a claim that Tom and Paula Patton are secretly dating. They starred together in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, and they’re both single, so “it’s totally on!” Paula is reportedly charmed by Tom, who would never cheat on anyone. The story sounds completely fake. One doesn’t go from super douche Robin Thicke to an asexual Scientologist. Gossip Cop spoke with a Tom source that says the story is “bullsh*t”

Tom also takes the Enquirer cover with a big paternity story. Tom is full of crap, but there’s little reason to question whether he’s Suri’s biological father. Suri looks like Tom’s brother, William Mapother. She looks like Tom too! I don’t understand why this story was ever a thing. The tabloid says Katie Holmes was “impregnated with L. Ron Hubbard’s sperm,” which is a widely discredited claim made in Andrew Morton’s 2008 book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography. Morton’s book and this week’s Enquirer state that “a number of high-level Scientologists believed Katie… was impregnated with L. Ron Hubbard’s frozen sperm.” Ex-Scientologist sources told the Enquirer that “it was always a given that Hubbard was going to be reincarnated,” and that top Scientologists were told that Tom had “too low sperm count to father a child.”

A Tom source spoke with Gossip Cop to call this story “bullsh*t“. Gossip Cop isn’t always accurate because their denials come straight from PR reps. But this paternity story is so dumb. The Enquirer also says Tom’s tally of non-Suri interaction climbed to 607 days. That’s an impossible jump from the year of no Suri we talked about last month.

Sometimes I forget which celebrities are pregnant. Like, did you remember that Zoe Deschanel is pregnant now? It feels like we haven’t seen her in forever. I honestly forgot that Jennifer Love Hewitt is pregnant, even though I just covered her last month and we get pap shots of her occasionally. She seems happy and like she married a dude who doesn’t want her to promote their family at all. As I usually mention when I cover her, we haven’t seen one photo of her 18 month-old baby’s face and she’s never made an issue of her privacy, either.

We’ve seen Hewitt’s bare baby bump before though, inside the magazine American Baby last month. She’s baring it again for an ad campaign. Hewitt is promoting Palmer’s stretch mark cream, an old school cocoa-butter based cream that claims to help reduce stretch marks. In a PR statement from the company, which also sent us these production photos, Hewitt claims to have used it for her first pregnancy and to have seen results.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula has cast actress Jennifer Love Hewitt as the star of their latest pregnancy ad campaign. Jennifer Love confidently showed her pregnant belly yesterday for the brand as the face of its trusted stretch mark products during their ad shoot in LA! As a longtime Palmer’s fan, Jennifer Love has trusted the brand to keep her skin smooth and flawless throughout both of her pregnancies.

The ad campaign will celebrate soft, supple skin during pregnancy and the emotional bond between a mother and her unborn child. The ads will roll out in Fall 2015 in print, television and radio and will feature products including Palmer’s Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks, Massage Cream for Stretch Marks, Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks and Skin Therapy Oil.

“After the success I had using Palmer’s through my first pregnancy, I knew I wanted to support the brand by baring my pregnant belly to celebrate the beauty of expectant mothers,” said Hewitt. “These are products that I believe in and actually use – they help moms to embrace the natural glow of pregnancy and I find it so empowering to be able to show my pregnancy off in this way.”

[PR release from Palmer’s received via email]

I’ve noticed that I have stretch marks on my thighs and chest but I kind of shrug and go “eh.” Maybe it’s because my skin is so fair and the marks are light that they don’t bother me much. It never occurred to me to use cream while I was pregnant, and I think the marks are from weight gain anyway. So I guess that’s why I’m asking: does this issue really affect pregnant women to the point where they’re trying to solve it ahead of time? On Amazon the reviewers seem to indicate that they think the product works (and they’re legit reviews) so that’s something.

Hewitt is such a cute pregnant lady and she’s a great representative for this brand. She sounds genuine about it too.

Cara Delevingne covers the newest issue of WSJ. Magazine. I’m not the biggest believer in Cara’s modeling skills, but she looks attractive in this editorial. She looks less Angry-Baby-ish, although her eyebrows are even bigger here than they usually are. WSJ. Mag even comes out and basically says that Cara is enormously successful even though she’s not, like, the prettiest girl in the room. The whole point of this is that the modeling game has changed and all of the successful models these days are very active on social media. Cara is not only an example of how social media “made” her into an in-demand model, but how she parlayed that interest and that modeling career into a legitimate acting career. You can read the full WSJ. Magazine piece here. Some highlights:

Her social media helped her: “I wouldn’t have done as well if I hadn’t had that. Not at all. In the ’90s, I wouldn’t have been a supermodel.”

The downsides of the modeling industry: “It’s horrible living in a world where I’ll get a call from someone saying, So-and-so says you were partying a lot and you were looking this way and you need to lose weight. It makes me so angry. If you don’t want to hire me, don’t hire me.”

Putting her dream of becoming an actress on the back-burner to pursue modeling: “I basically gave up on acting, because trying to get an agent was impossible. Everyone said, ‘You’re just a model,’ …once I had my mind set that I was going to do this modeling thing, I really wanted to beat it, if that makes sense. Win it.”

Modeling not fulfilling her: “I ended up feeling a bit empty. Fashion is about what’s on the outside, and that’s it. There’s no searching, it’s just creating pretty things.”

Expanding her career and avoiding stereotypes: “I don’t want to be that cliche?: model-slash-actress.”

Not limiting her career options: “I want to prove that you can be anything you want to be. I love working, and I love what I do. If I f—it up now, it’s all my fault.”

Her hopes of recording her own music album: “People are going to judge it so harshly that I think it has to be amazing.”

Finding herself in the tabloids: “It makes me never want to set foot outside ever again. I used to read them and torture myself.”

Finding inner peace in recent years: “I used to be in a constant state of panic and anxiety and have far too many voices in my head. I suddenly realized I’m peaceful inside, and I’ve never had that. Even when I was growing up.”

[WSJ. Magazine]

I have such mixed feelings about Cara and her fame. First of all, it’s a bit of humble-brag for her to say that she’s a “supermodel” now. She’s a socialite-slash-model-slash-actress. She came from a wealthy, well-connected family and she parlayed that into landing some big modeling campaigns and walking some important runways, but she’s basically only had a solid modeling career for like three years, and she’s already tapping out of modeling gigs to pursue acting. Maybe Cara will be accepted as an actress, maybe not. I have no doubt that she really wants that. But I do have doubts about the rest of it. Some of these younger models, like Cara, come across like they have never really worked or struggled for much. Her version of “struggle” is when photographers catch her handling cocaine.

Congratulations are in order for Casey Wilson and David Caspe.

The former Marry Me star, 34, and her comedy writer husband, 36, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy, E! News reports.

In March, the actress opened up about her first pregnancy.

“I’m feeling so much better than I was,” Wilson shared. “I had a very rocky first and early-second trimester—I felt tired and sick and in a fog, like an extreme hangover, until about week 16. I thought, surely, this is the worst part of parenting. Then I remembered when I was 15 and my mom said I couldn’t go out, I pulled two giant brass wall sconces out of the wall with my bare hands. There are rougher waters ahead, I fear.”

In November, the Hotwives of Orlando funnylady announced her pregnancy.

The SNL alum and her husband met on the set of Happy Endings — the ABC series created by her hubby.
