“From Hogwarts to Hottie” indeed. Matthew Lewis played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films, and he turned into a beautiful butterfly, didn’t he? Damn bro. Lewis covers the new issue of Attitude magazine and now everyone is hot and bothered. You can see Attitude’s feature here. There’s a lot of hot, furry man. And it’s glorious. I love it when a dude is naturally hairy and they don’t feel the need to shave or wax their bodies. It’s hot.

Lewis is especially fit these days because he’s about to play a personal trainer in a romantic comedy. He tells the magazine that he’s shunned sugar, carbs and alcohol:

“I spoke to the director and I said it’d be nice to get into the mindset of someone like Patrick, because he’s not drinking alcohol, he’s just eating salads all the time. I was very interested to know where you go to in your mind to have that level of commitment. So I sort of gave up alcohol – I say sort of, I have given up alcohol. It’s tough. I do the pub quiz every week, and I’m sitting there every Wednesday with a Diet Coke… I’m off sugar and I can’t really eat carbs. I really wanted to see if I could stick to such a strict regime, and to really understand what it’s like to have a goal like that and really 110% go for it. I mean I’ve always been a bit of a sports enthusiast anyway, I love the gym and all that stuff, but I can’t wait for a pint of lager, I tell you that! The pizza and beer will definitely be making a comeback over the summer.”

If this is what it takes to get that body… no, it’s still not worth it if you have to give up carbs. But I appreciate the effort and seriously, damn bro. He’s so hot. Even JK Rowling thinks so! She tweeted Lewis this morning:

.@Mattdavelewis Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close. Warn me next time, for God’s sake. https://t.co/r8EUd1GKqT

Singer Bobby Brown celebrated his wife’s Alicia Etheredge-Brown pregnancy at her baby shower.

“Love…….” Brown posted a photo of the family via Instagram.

The expectant mom was all smiles at the afternoon soirée, showing off her bare baby bump, on which she got a large henna tattoo of a tree and the sun.

Brown, 46, posted a second photo of his wife’s growing belly, with the caption, “My Lady and Baby.”

The couple – who are also parents to nearly 6-year-old son Cassius – are due to welcome their second child in July.

It’s been a very difficult year for the singer. Bobbi Kristina – Brown’s 22-year-old daughter with the late Whitney Houston – has remained unresponsive since she was found unconscious in a bathtub on Jan. 31.

Love…….

I feel like George Clooney is just one week away from referring to Amal as “the old ball & chain” and doing an old Don Rickles routine. That’s what it feels like, right? A shtick. Oh, haha, George Clooney is an old married man now, that’s so charming. Isn’t it nice that George is so happily married and he keeps talking about his lovely bride? Chuckle, elbow, etc. When in all honesty, I’ve never been more convinced that George went through all of this as an effort to rebrand his image. He had gotten to the point where his bachelor lifestyle was a punchline rather than an aspiration. So he changed the subject in a big way. In any case, George is still talking about Amal, obviously.

He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night. It may seem like we’ve already covered this stuff, but we haven’t. George is the one recycling his own quotes. It’s almost like his publicist handed him a sheet of cutesy quotes and easy stories to tell about married life. George told Kimmel that Amal hates that George wears the same t-shirt all the time: “There is that moment when I’ve worn the same T-shirt like for a week that she says, ‘Really?’” He also says Amal “hasn’t taken away” his motorcycle. Yet.

That interview is pretty meh. Not so meh? Clooney’s interview with Charlie Rose. I talked about the first clip yesterday (go here to read), which was Clooney talking about his proposal, of course. And since Charlie Rose is a real journalist (seriously), he totally asked Clooney about babies. When asked flat-out if he thinks about becoming a father, George said: “I haven’t really. I’ve thought about it I suppose, but I haven’t really – it hasn’t been high on my list, uh, I’ve been asked a lot lately because I’ve gotten married and I’m doing a movie with kids in it. You should see how creative the way they ask me.”

George also appears on a pre-taped episode of The Graham Norton Show, airing on Friday. He chatted about the country mansion he bought for Amal in England, saying: “We’ve bought a place in a wonderful little town called Sonning and we are re-doing the house so that we can live in it, which would be nice. We will move in in a couple of months.” George also said they “do normal things” at home, and they go out to the local pub, etc. George also explained how he ended up at the New York Comic-Con when he was supposed to be on his honeymoon:

“I got the call while on my honeymoon and was told it was really important that I fly in. First I had to explain that to my wife which didn’t play well. And then, the whole idea of spending part of your honeymoon with people dressed up like Captain Kirk and Star Wars’ characters somehow wasn’t easy to explain to my new bride. But, I showed up and it was actually fun.”

He also described a long-standing prank he’s done on Brad Pitt. Apparently, Clooney had some stationary made with Brad’s name and everything, and George has been sending out letters to famous people AS Brad.

Life & Style says Jennifer Aniston has been DUMPED after 990 days. That will be the name of Jennifer’s memoir, you know. It will either be DUMPED: The Jennifer Aniston Story or 990 Days: A Story of the Forever Engagement. I actually looked it up and 990 days ago (May 21, 2015) was September 3, 2012. Which… is not correct. The 2012 date is reflective of their engagement, not how long they’ve really been together overall. Jennifer and Justin worked together in 2010, and it’s widely believed that Justin cheated on Heidi Bivens with Aniston while they worked together, then there was some relationship overlap in the spring of 2011 when Jennifer kept popping up with Justin all over LA and then suddenly Heidi moved out of the New York apartment she shared with Justin for more than a decade. I’m just sayin’.

As for the story… there’s not a lot there. L&S claims that Justin and Jennifer have been spending a lot of time apart, which is no surprise to any of us paying attention to JustJen. For the past three months, he’s been in Rome, New York and Texas. She’s been mostly in LA, although she was flying solo in NYC a few weeks ago for no reason. The idea behind this latest “Jen got dumped” rumor is that they’re still struggling to schedule an actual wedding date. Because even though Justin bought Jennifer a huge, cloudy quartz-looking diamond ring and proposed to her on HIS birthday (??), he doesn’t actually want to marry her.

According to Life & Style, Theroux “pulled the plug on their wedding just days before it was to go down.” A source says: “Justin was on the phone with Jen when she brought up an issue with the wedding menu…She asked him if he thought they should have salmon or shellfish — and he replied, ‘I’m not ready.’”

[From Life & Style, Jezebel]

Gossip Cop says it’s crap but…? I don’t know. I’ve been on JustJen high alert for a while. I think it’s weird that their schedules are so all-over-the-place, and I think it’s weird that they barely see each other except when he flies to her for the big appearances (Oscars, birthday parties). Then again, I’ve been saying that JustJen would not survive for a while and they actually have survived. Maybe they’re fine with being that permanently engaged couple that works thousands of miles away from each other for months at a time.

A lot of people believe that Prince William and maybe even Prince Charles are behind the sudden rash of negative press stories about Princess Beatrice of York. While I could see how that conspiracy theory could play out – and it might even be true – the fact of the matter is that Beatrice is not helping herself in the least. It is my strong belief that Beatrice outright lied to the press about her “financial course” in America last month (unless she just took a Suze Orman day-course), and it is my strong belief that Beatrice really needs to find something other than “vacationing” to occupy her time.

The Daily Mail has new photos of Beatrice and her boyfriend Dave Clark on vacation yet again – go here to see. They were in Bahamas this time, staying at the Great Guana Cay in what is being called her FIFTEENTH vacation in seven months. It wouldn’t be so bad except her father’s royal website says that Beatrice has a “full time role in business.” It wouldn’t be so bad except Andrew keeps trying to convince people that his daughters should be full-time working royals, all evidence to the contrary. It wouldn’t be so bad except that Beatrice’s people keep insisting that she IS working and looking for a job in New York, possibly. I don’t know… does it look like she’s interviewing for new jobs?

When Duchess Kate gave birth to Princess Charlotte, that meant that Beatrice was pushed down further in the line of succession. Beatrice is no longer sixth in line, which means magical things for her. It means less attention, of course, and it means that she no longer needs the Queen’s permission to do certain things, like get married. If Beatrice and Dave did get married, a wedding would certainly liven things up and change the subject away from her constant vacations.

Well… this is a turn of events. Star Magazine claims in their cover story this week that Brad has been bisexual this whole time. And that Angelina knows and she’s fine with him sleeping with men sometimes. I mean… Angelina is bisexual. At least that’s how she identified when she was younger. And she’s had relationships with women. Is it so shocking to think that Brad might be bisexual too?

Their lasting Hollywood romance may be a surprise, but there’s a reason for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s relationship has worked so well over that the world doesn’t know about. Hollywood insider Hesham “Sham” Ibrahim, who has been a long-time traveler with the same social circles as Brad and Angelina, exclusively told Star, “I don’t want to define Brad Pitt’s sexuality, but whatever it is, he’s into guys.”

And his sexuality with men isn’t a new thing. Sham told Star that Brad’s bisexuality has been going on for close to 10 years and even spoke about two of his male hookups. Cameron Fox, who did adult films and was an all-American looking adult-film actor, was contacted by Brad on a website called RentBoy.com nearly a decade ago. The two were supposed to meet at a hotel in Monterey, California. “When [Cameron] got there, an assistant met him in the lobby and took him to a room. Sure enough, there was Brad Pitt,” Sham tells Star. “Brad took one look at him, gave him a thousand dollars and asked him to leave. Cameron wasn’t as attractive as he appeared to be in his pictures. I guess Brad has picky taste.”

Sham also heard reports that this was a common case if his men weren’t up to his expectation. But when he did find one he liked, Brad seemed to have a routine down to the last detail. “They said he seemed to have the whole scenario pretty much worked out,” Sham says.

And how does Angelina feel about her dreamboat husband straying away for other men? Fine! She too is bisexual and openly admitted her romance with Oscar-winning onetime girlfriend Jenny Shimizu. “It was a wild experience,” Angelina said in response to her dating Jenny for years.

“As someone who has dated bisexual men, I have to say that having an understanding really is the only way their relationship can last,” emphasizes Sham. “They need to accept each other, and, since Angelina is into girls, they do.”

[From Star Magazine]

He’s hooking up with guys he meets on RentBoy.com? He’s BRAD PITT! Surely he can meet nice-looking dudes the old-fashioned way. Or maybe it’s like Charlie Sheen says – Brad’s not paying for the sex, he’s paying them to leave when it’s over. As for this particular story… no, I don’t really believe it about Brad. I would totally believe it about Tom Cruise, Bradley Cooper, hell, even Leonardo DiCaprio. But Brad…didn’t he even say in an interview a few years ago that he had never experimented with men? Of course, he could have been lying. Or Star Magazine and Sham Ibrahim are made of lies. You choose.

Here’s a first look at Tom Cruise on the set of Mena, which is filming in Atlanta. Tom is in the same city as the Captain America: Civil War production. Mena is the awards-baiting vehicle where Tom plays Barry Seal, the drug- and gun-trafficking pilot who worked for both 1980s cartels and the CIA. Seal tipped the scales at 300 pounds. No one thought Tom would gain all of the weight, but industry insiders expected him to gain “a significant amount.”

These photos do not reflect such a weight gain, which is puzzling. Tom never does anything halfway, so the decision to not alter his public appearance feels out of character. His version of “fat” is wearing a loose, rumpled shirt. Dude finally moved out of the action-movie comfort zone he’s inhabited for the past decade. Yet he’s not going to properly stuntqueen an Oscar bid. I can’t knock him for not wanting to screw up his metabolism with a quick weight gain scheme. But Tom’s not even wearing a fat suit!

Lainey has some other photos where Tom has a gap in his teeth after his character gets punched. (That’s what happens when you mess with drug cartels.) In these pictures, Tom’s shown alongside Sarah Wright, who plays pregnant Lucy Seal. The press always sets Tom up with co-stars. Fortunately for Sarah, she’s married (to Eric Christian Olsen of NCIS: LA). These photos of Tom with his movie family make me a little sad. He has plenty of time to star in all of these films, but we won’t see him carrying Suri around anytime soon. He can only pretend to be a present father. Reality is too much.

Jennifer Garner gave a few quotes to Yahoo! Parenting to promote her new crafts line with JoAnn Fabrics called We Made It. It includes products that will help kids and parents craft together. $75,000 from the proceeds will go to the Save The Children foundation, which Garner supports. She’s still going to make bank with this, but she seems really committed to offering things that are lasting and help spur creativity and interaction between families. In her introductory video on JoAnn Fabric’s site, Garner talks about learning to sew and embroider and how special it was to see her mom sewing with her daughters. My mom is a quilter and she does projects with my son, so I could relate to some of her stories.

Garner’s interview with Yahoo! was somewhat short but she said several notable things. She said that she and her husband Ben Affleck work to teach their children that they’re not above anyone, which is an important lesson for children of celebrities. She also said, in a roundabout way, that marriage is work and you have to be patient. We’ve heard that from her before and from Ben too, at the Oscars.

In the past, you’ve been outspoken about the concept of “post-baby bikini bodies” — how can new moms avoid pressure to achieve one?
Take [pressure] off yourself. Nobody can take it off for you. And don’t be on [social media]. You don’t see me on Instagram. I have an official Facebook page but I’m not reading what all my friends say on Facebook about how great their lives are because it makes you feel bad. I want to talk to my actual friends on the phone. I love seeing pictures and occasionally I will go through and look at all [my friend’s] Instagram photos but if you are not in a fantastic place — if you’ve just had a baby — don’t look at your friend’s hot beach picture…just don’t do it.

What’s the hardest part about being a parent in Hollywood?
It was the paparazzi, and that, Halle Berry lifted from my shoulders [with Senate Bill 606] and she is an angel. No Kids Policy. [The paparazzi] were so aggressive…but it’s no longer an issue. The hardest part is other kids talking to my children when we aren’t around. Like, ‘It’s so cool your dad’s being Batman’ and trying to control how much that inflates the idea that one person is more important than another. [My husband I] really work to manage that idea — that just because people react a certain way to us, it doesn’t mean we’re more important than anyone else. And [the kids] are pretty quick to cut us back down to size.

How does having a baby change marriage?
You just go on a ride together because you don’t know who you’re going to be when you first have a baby and you don’t know who [your partner] is going to be. You have to just hang in there while you figure it out — and have a lot of patience for each other.

I don’t use Facebook for my personal life, which is mostly because I just set it up for Celebitchy from the beginning. Occasionally, when I’m hanging out with a group of people, they’ll all be on their phones scrolling through Facebook and I find it somewhat maddening. I understand checking email or texts occasionally when you’re out for hours socially, but not Facebook! Anyway I related to what Garner said about social media. Celebrities would probably want to avoid that kind of toxic environment on Instagram and Twitter too.

I’ve seen some of the videos of the paparazzi around Garner and Affleck’s children back in the day and they were absolutely swarmed. While I don’t doubt that they use it to their advantage sometimes PR-wise, the passage of the No Kids Policy surely helped them a lot. Kids don’t deserve to be yelled out and followed wherever they go. I wouldn’t call Halle Berry an angel though.

Last night, David Letterman’s final Late Night episode aired, which concludes a 30+ year television career. I’ve been bracing for the impact since Dave’s announcement in April 2014, but the tears still arrived two nights in a row. Bill Murray appeared as Dave’s final guest on Tuesday’s penultimate episode. He was also Dave’s first guest, and their friendship deepened over the decades. Bill busted out of a cake before leading a crowd chant. These two guys are both idols of mine, and their interwined careers are the stuff of legends.

Dave, 68, who was the best late-night interviewer in the business, didn’t seem emotional about leaving the show. He seemed ready. Dave has the distinct (and rare) pleasure of going out on top. No one will ever be able to accuse him of losing his edge. He’ll always be cherished and missed. Even Dave’s fellow late night hosts paid tribute. Jimmy Kimmel bid farewell to Dave with an emotional speech. He chose to air a rerun and asked his audience to tune into Letterman. Likewise, Conan O’Brien told his viewers to change the channel.

Dave’s final entrance received a standing ovation that never wanted to end. Dave joked that his retirement would be eventful: “I hope to become the new face of Scientology.” He also said, “When I screw up, I have to go on somebody else’s show to apologize.” This was a subtle reference to the 2009 scandal where Dave revealed his affair with a staffer. The way Dave handled the situation was frank and well spoken. He didn’t dwell on the matter last night, but he knew people would remember the one red mark in his otherwise stellar history.

The farewell show itself was a classy, laid-back occasion with retrospectives and a comedian-studded Top 20 list called “Things I’ve Always Wanted to Say to Dave” list (screencaps below). Bill Murray read the final entry, and then they had an awesome hug.

Dave ended his show by thanking his wife and son, who sat with the audience. He introduced his favorite band, The Foo Fighters, for a special performance of “Everlong.” (The band famously performed the song when Dave returned from quintuple-bypass surgery in 2000.) Dave Grohl and his boys actually wore tuxes for the occasion! As the Foos did their thing, a highlights clip played and fireworks went off outside the Ed Sullivan theater. The screen froze as Dave raised his hand to the audience a final time. #ThanksDave

Here are photos of Kendall Jenner at the Cannes premiere of Youth. She’s mostly on site to network and party. From the neck up, Kendall looks fantastic. Her makeup, including dramatic red lips, looks polished and her updo is an unexpected change from the usual stick-straight locks. The large diamond choker and bracelet are also very glamorous.

Kendall’s wearing an Alaia two-piece dress that is supposed to throw a chic goth vibe, but it looks like it’s made of folded, doily napkins. If the peekabook lace details weren’t present on the skirt, this ensemble would appear more sophisticated. The back of the skirt is almost completely sheer, at least in the tush department. Kendall’s showing off her underwear, basically. I guess that’s okay for Cannes, and we’ve seen plenty of this faux-exhibitionism at regular film premieres. The ensemble features a whole lot of fabric to be flashing so much skin. She does have the figure to pull of the bare midriff. Is this dress trashy?

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder came up for air following their very steamy honeymoon. I don’t know why they’re at Cannes (neither of them has a film premiere scheduled) except to debut their status as a married couple. Nikki is wearing an Azzaro couture column gown. The backless detail appears formal with the aid of a long chiffon train (which Ian graciously arranged for his love). I’m not crazy about the orange twig-like embellishment, but it makes the dress more interesting.
