Lately there’s been a surge in my Elvis obsession. When I was a teenager I used to obsess over pictures of Lisa Marie Presley. Elvis was SO strong in her face. It’s the eyes. Elvis had Gladys’s eyes (his mother) and Lisa Marie has those eyes. And Riley Keough has those eyes.

Riley was at the …      

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay was all smiles with son August, nearly 9, at the Joyful Heart Foundation’s ‘Joyful Revolution’ Gala in New York City on Wednesday (May 6).

In 2004, the actress founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to raise money and provide support for survivors of sexual assault.

As it turns out, Mariska’s role as Detective Olivia Benson on the NBC drama has not only earned her multiple awards and nominations, it has also educated her on the prevalence of sexual abuse.

“When I first did research for my role on SVU, I couldn’t believe the stats I was finding,” Mariska told HerScoop. “Then the letters started coming to me from viewers. First a few, then more, then hundreds, and thousands since then.”

The actress – who is the daughter of former Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay and legendary actress Jayne Mansfield – is also mom to son Andrew, 3, and daughter Amaya, 3, with husband, actor Peter Hermann.

Also joined by her good pal Debra Messing, Mariska Instagrammed an image with her oldest child at the NYC gala.

“The #PerfectGentleman to have at my arm #TheyGrowUpSoFast #TheyGrowUpTooFast #JoyfulHeartGala2015 #MySonSaysNoMore #JoyfulRevolution,” she captioned the shot.

Remember the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies? You know, the two terrible ones no one talks about, and then the first one that most people like and the Christmas one that everyone likes? Well there’s a new one. Chevy Chase is still around as the patriarch of the perpetually doomed Griswold fami…      

Here are some photos of Sofia Vergara getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. I find it interesting that they timed this event specifically ahead of the release of Sofia’s big co-starring role in Hot Pursuit, but Reese Witherspoon didn’t come out for it. Instead, it ended up being a big Modern Family event. Which is nice because Sofia loves her Modern Family costars and coworkers.

Anyway, I feel for Sofia. Her promotional tour for Hot Pursuit has been hijacked by her psycho ex’s lawsuit, and now in every interview she does, she has to answer insanely personal questions about children, fertility, IVF, lawyers, reproductive choice and whether Nick Loeb is a stalker (spoiler: he IS a stalker). Combine that with the fact that Hot Pursuit’s reviews are reaching Adam Sandler-esque proportions. Rotten Tomatoes has Hot Pursuit at 5% this morning (down from 6% a few hours ago). Critics are going hard too. The words being used: shrill, unfunny, awkward, “Reese Witherspoon’s worst movie,” equal opportunity fiasco, painful, illogical. Yeah, it’s a bad movie. Poor Sofia. She’s having such a terrible few weeks.

Incidentally, Sofia also covers the new issue of Cosmo Latina – go here to see. The interview is pretty boring, but she does say that having kids with Joe Manganiello “isn’t a priority.” Ya think?

Am I the only one still wondering what was up with Blake Lively’s absence at the Met Gala on Monday night? Her rep said her absence was because she was filming movies “back to back” in Asia. Which… is easily disproven, considering everyone has access to IMDB. Her IMDB lists All I See Is You as her next film, so maybe that’s filming in Asia? Maybe? But there is some good news (sort of) for Blake’s career: she did just get a legitimate job! She’s been cast in the new Woody Allen film, which will be filmed this summer:

Fresh from opening The Age Of Adaline, Blake Lively will join the ensemble cast of Woody Allen’s next film. She will join Jesse Eisenberg, Bruce Willis and Kristen Stewart, I’m told. As usual, the film is untitled and there are no plot details, but the picture is being produced by Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson, his usual collaborators.

Allen is casting the film as he prepares for the Cannes premiere of Irrational Man, which stars Emma stone and Joaquin Phoenix and will be released by Sony Pictures Classics July 24th.

It’s a good time for Lively, as Age of Adaline has grossed $24 million so far domestically as nice counter programming against the behemoth Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Lively is next booked to star alongside Jason Clarke in the Marc Forster-directed All I See Is You. Then she will join Allen’s film. She’s repped by WME and Management 360.

[From Deadline]

The way Woody Allen almost always works is that he films for about eight to ten weeks in the summer months, cuts the film quickly and starts writing another script, which will be made the following year. So… Blake will be working this summer on a Woody Allen film. I doubt she cares about the rumors and accusations, by the way. She, like so many actors, just wants to work with Woody. I would assume the same is true of Kristen Stewart, Bruce Willis, etc. Also: Kristen and Blake in the same movie? Miss Perma-Grump and Miss Sunshine? It will be epic.

Meanwhile, Blake has a new interview with the BBC’s Newsbeat. Some assorted quotes about baby James and her post-baby body.

She’s not glamorous in real life: “We don’t have red carpets in our house. Or glam squads and people making us look awesome and making it look easy every day. What our house is like, it’s just in complete chaos. It’s lasting on no sleep and not knowing what to do because you’re a parent.”

Her post-baby body: “I’m still 15 pounds heavier so it’s nice that people think I lost my baby weight. I still haven’t lost a pretty good chunk of it, but it’s also the pressure – who cares? There’s pressure to lose it, or women are like supposed to look like they did when they were 19 right after you give birth to your child, I think it’s silly.” Blake says breastfeeding has helped, but she’s “not really obsessing” over losing any more weight right now.

[From BBC]

To my eyes, it does look like Blake has lost all of her baby weight and that her body snapped back really quickly after giving birth. That’s what being tall and leggy will do for you, people. But she’s right… who cares? She’s happy and healthy and I hate that new moms are expected to bounce back quickly. I also hate that new moms are being constantly asked about their bodies. Ugh to all of it.

That he’s on the cover of Men’s Fitness. But, like, he didn’t want to be too obvious about it. So he posted this on Instagram:

This isn’t a huge story, just something that made me chuckle. Kevin Jonas, who was the least remarkable member of the Jonas Brothers, is doing some press to promote his new app. The best bit of gossip I ever heard about Kevin is how he fell in love with (and married) a random woman who cut his hair. She didn’t know who the Jonas Brothers were! Danielle Deleasa has since gotten with the program, and she and Kevin do reality shows and have a baby girl, Alena Rose.

Back when the Jonas Brothers split, the drama wasn’t as heavy as the current 1D crisis. Lots of fans were still quite upset. My daughter pushed her Jonas magnets to separate corners of the refrigerator. (“They’re broken up,” she sadly said.) With the benefit of retrospect, Kevin has offered some unsolicited advice to Zayn Malik. These musings come after Zayn slammed Louis Tomlinson and called him “bitchy.” Kevin spoke with Elvis Duran (via People) to discuss some hard realities about the death of a boy band.

The big Jonas split: “Notice how when [the Jonas Brothers] went dark, we went dark. We didn’t do a single interview, we didn’t talk to anybody, we just went dark. I just got really depressed for a while. There’s a mourning process!”

Kevin still misses the band: “I miss touring. I miss seeing people on the road. I miss that adrenaline rush, there’s nothing like it. When you go out on stage … and you greet the crowd, there’s nothing like it.”

Is he “Jealous” of Nick’s solor career? “I don’t know how many times I literally hear this,” he said of the persistent rumors. “It’s the worst pun in the world from some idiotic frat guy. It’s like, ‘You must be ‘Jealous’ of Nick!’ .. Constantly! It’s like, why? He’s doing his thing. I’m doing mine! He’s happy. I’m happy.”

His advice to Zayn: “In the midst of that intensity, he should go dark for a long time. You gotta go dark for at least six weeks! Like, underground, you gotta go hard, like you’re done. … You have to let the dust clear. Anything you do then will be scrutinized.”

[From People]

This is actually very solid advice. The One Directioners weren’t pleased at Zayn’s outburst. He immediately lost nearly 100,000 Twitter followers, and that number has likely grown. Zayn made the problem worse by begging his former fans come back. He tweeted, “Don’t know why I’m being attacked for defending myself , people got it twisted! I love my fans ?! Every single one of you.” Yeah … he really needs to hand his Twitter password over to a trusted party and re-cultivate some mystery.

Gwyneth Paltrow supported her mother, Blythe Danner, at the premiere of I’ll See You In My Dreams last night in LA. Man, Blythe looks so good. And I love the two prints she’s mixing here. Will G get Blythe’s genes? I’d want Blythe’s genes.

G wasn’t there alone though. PEOPLE reports that Brad…
