An expectant Jaime King poses for Who What Wear and opens up about her maternity style, her makeup-obsessed son James, 19 months, and her upcoming Mother’s Day plans.

On her maternity style: “You know, for me, getting pregnant is such a celebration of femininity and a celebration of your growing body. In a way, it’s the only time you don’t have to suck in and the only time that it doesn’t matter really how big you are or what your body looks like. You can wear formfitting clothes, and you can wear things that show off how your body has changed. Your breasts and everything get bigger, and I think that’s a beautiful sign of fertility and something that should be, again, accentuated and celebrated. What I decided when I got pregnant is that if anything, I’m going to have more fun with my fashion, because I love dressing, I love taking risks, and why not show the world that it’s okay, you can really go there? Just because you are a mom doesn’t mean you can’t be cool and fashionable. It doesn’t mean you can’t have your own sense of individuality and creativity. You can still have all that and more, because it’s the ultimate creativity, having a baby.”

On her best beauty tip for new moms: “Even when you are exhausted and you’re working and you’re going on three hours of sleep and feel like a zombie, part of alleviating that feeling is doing something that makes you feel beautiful. If you are exhausted, give yourself a manicure or go get your hair colored. If you have 10-15 minutes to yourself, that makes all the difference. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a working mom, you have to find a way to keep remembering who you are and that you are still sensual and sexy and beautiful and strong—you’ve just done one of the strongest things you could possibly do, which is to create life. After I’ve been filming or working for six hours and I have to pick up groceries or baby food or diapers, I will literally go to the grocery store and grab a coffee or tea and pull over on the side of the road and get out of my car and walk for 10 minutes. And that 10 minutes is my time. I leave the phone in the car and nobody knows. It’s time to reflect and take care of myself and just to have a moment for me.”

On the greatest reward of motherhood: “The most rewarding part is the depths of love. And seeing this tiny human being that was in your belly grow and what they gravitate towards and giving them the freedom to express and be who they are. My son is obsessed with makeup, so I got him a makeup kit. Every time a makeup artist comes over, they donate a brush or something to his kit. Yet at the same time, he’s playing soccer and really loves to swim. To me, it’s about nurturing every aspect of your child’s personality. When you really allow someone that kind of freedom creatively, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally yet keep the structure of discipline in regards to sleeping, eating, and taking care of them, those are the key components of a really great parent, and those are the best moments of it.”

On her Mother’s Day plans: “I have no plans. I could literally just be watching Frozen for the five-billionth time, and it would be the perfect day.”

Last week, we had an early preview and some quotes from Kristen Stewart’s Harper’s Bazaar UK cover, editorial and cover interview. The editorial was lovely, and the interview wasn’t as awkward and twitchy as Kristen’s usual shtick. Well, Bazaar has released more quotes from the interview and… I don’t know. I’m not “mad” at Kristen and I don’t think she sounds flat-out stupid, but I feel like she needs to figure out a better way to do interviews, a better way to express herself. Some new excerpts:

Kristen on her style: “I either like being really sexy or insanely androgynous. I’m not great at applying make-up myself. My mom never taught me anything, she doesn’t wear make-up…I like mineral make-up. You can’t screw it up and it’s not bad for your skin.”

She’ll never have plastic surgery: “No, never. Never. I am so freaked out by the idea of doing anything. And maybe that’s completely arrogant but I don’t want to change anything about myself. I think the women who do are losing their minds. It’s vandalism.”

Her “messy” hair: “I don’t like having nice hair, ever. There’s something about it that pushes me over into feeling like I’m wearing a costume. So long as I can have my hair the way it normally is, then I can do everything else full on.”

Her workouts: “When I’m in good shape I can do 40 push-ups in one go. If I’m not in good shape, I can do 10. If I am trying to get into shape and I want to be strong, I’ll drop and do 20 every half hour throughout the day. I can do 250 push-ups in a day, which is pretty impressive. At the moment, I can do 20 comfortably. It takes me about a month to get into phenomenal shape with a trainer.”

[From E! News]

I can’t do push-ups. No, let me restate that… I don’t give a crap about push-ups so I never try. I do weight training on my arms, of course, but the idea of judging my workouts solely on how many push-ups I can do? That’s so weird to me. As for the rest of it… her comments about plastic surgery are interesting. I think it’s pretty easy when you look like Kristen Stewart to say “I don’t want to change anything about myself.” For the rest of us? Yeah, of course there are smaller and bigger things we would like to change and no, it’s not “vandalism.”

Here are some photos of Kristen out in LA yesterday. She met up with a friend outside of a studio and she smoked a cigarette. THOSE PANTS THOUGH.

As I briefly discussed in a post yesterday, Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb did dueling morning show interviews on Thursday. Sofia spoke to Good Morning America, and she hit back harder on Loeb’s lawsuit seeking custody of the frozen embryos they created together. Sofia’s reaction was basically that Nick is a thirsty, attention-seeking jackass and he’s trying to ruin her or punish her for not wanting to have babies with him. Well, I got a chance to watch Loeb’s Today Show interview, and I just have to say… there’s something wrong with this man. I found his whole argument to be profoundly disturbing.

The major headline out of the interview is likely that Loeb doesn’t confirm or deny his previous allegations (in the lawsuit he filed against Sofia) that Sofia had “abused” him physically. I sort of forgot that he was claiming that too, but Hoda Kotb read out that part of the lawsuit, where Loeb tells the court that Sofia “physically abused him on four separate occasions, she punched him in the face on two occasions, kicked him and threw her phone at his head. She also routinely bullied him, called him a loser, worthless and other degrading names.” Loeb also claims in the lawsuit that when it came to the embryo/IVF contracts, Loeb only “signed this portion of the form directive, even though he did not agree with it, in order to avoid further abuse.” Seriously, that’s his argument. He signed a legal embryo contract with his abusive fiancée so that she would stop abusing him. I’m not saying that kind of thing would never happen, I’m just saying that it really did not happen in this case. Around the 5:45 mark is where Hoda asks about the abuse.

He deflects those questions like a pro. I wonder why he didn’t bring up those abuse claims in his NYT op-ed? As for the rest of it… well, watch the whole thing if you want to come away from it profoundly disturbed by the argument he’s making, that he should be given custody of those two embryos regardless of all of the legal protections Sofia was contractually given. Note the way he coolly denies leaking the information about the lawsuit to the tabloids. It just feels like he will do anything to be part of Sofia’s life, even if it means publicly harassing her, lying about her on national television and pandering to the biggest anti-choice wingnuts out there.

Oh, and wouldn’t you know, Loeb also stopped by CNN for an interview too. So thirsty. So creepy.

Look who’s one!

The Hills alum Kristin Cavallari and husband, football star Jay Cutler, celebrated their son Jaxon‘s first birthday on Wednesday (May 6). “Well, that was the fastest year of my life. Happy 1st birthday to my little baby bull! I love u with all of my heart, wild man,” the reality star Instagrammed the image.

In the cute pic, Kristin’s youngest son has his back turned while playing with toys on a basketball court.

The Laguna Beach star and her NFL hubby, 32, are also parents to 2-year-old son Camden.

“[It’s] really sweet seeing Camden love being a big brother. Plus, you’re definitely more relaxed with the second one because you’re not stressed out by questioning everything that you’re doing,” the reality star-turned fashion designer told Chicago’s Michigan Avenue magazine last year.

As for adding to the brood?

“Before we had children, Jay and I both wanted four,” she said. “Now we’re thinking three, but we’re just going to have to see how it goes. Right now the last thing on my mind is having another baby, but it is a ton of fun.”

In a series of Instagram pics, Kristin shares shots of her growing boys. Continue looking through our gallery to see the Cavallari-Cutler family photos.

Well, that was the fastest year of my life. Happy 1st birthday to my little baby bull! I love u with all of my heart, wild man.

Here’s Part 2 of our coverage of last night’s LA premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road. Part 1 is here – that was Tom Hardy, Jason Momoa, etc. What I like about this film and the film promotion is that it’s pretty clear that Charlize Theron is very, very important to the story. She’s not playing an accessory to Mad Max. She is her own character, and some even say that Charlize’s Furiosa is the one driving the plot and Max is secondary. George Miller even brought in feminist Eve Ensler to advise him how to strengthen the female characters in the film. Which is nice, you know?

Anyway, Charlize came to the premiere with her lover Sean Penn. Why is Penn is red and leathery these days? He looks like a ham hock. Charlize is wearing Dior. I feel like I’ve seen her in variations of this same dress about a million times, but this version is fine. It’s flattering, it’s sexy, it’s deceptively simple.

More photos from the premiere… Zoe Kravitz wore this dark Valentino Fall 2015 gown. For a summer movie premiere? It’s a little bit much.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore this great little Rodarte’s Fall 2015 dress. This is one of my favorites – it feels like a very rock n’ roll choice.

Riley Keough was probably my absolute favorite. She wore this leather Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015 dress. This could have looked bad, you know? It’s burgundy leather after all. But she really pulls it off. She’s such a pretty young woman too.

Thandie Newton isn’t in the film, but she came out anyway. She wore this princess-y Monique Lhuillier Spring 2015. I don’t really have a problem with it.

This ^^ really happened. It’s not a post-apocalyptic fever dream. At last night’s LA premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road, Mel Gibson, George Miller and Tom Hardy posed together on the red carpet. Mind blown! Tom has been open about the fact that he went to Mel personally and asked for his blessing before playing Mad Max. Mel thought Tom was crazy (which is saying a lot), but Mel gave Tom his blessing. And I guess it’s sort of nice that Mel came out for the premiere, to support his friend George Miller and bestow a public blessing on the film.

I’m including some assorted photos from the premiere – I’m actually splitting these pics up into two groups. This post is for “dudes.” There’s Mel, George and Tom, of course. I’m also including pics of Nicholas Hoult (Bedhead’s dream boyfriend after Chunk-Butt) and Jason Momoa with Lisa Bonet. Lisa’s daughter Zoe Kravitz is in the film, so Lisa and Jason came out to support Zoe. And Jason wore a tank top, a leather vest and a tartan shrug. And I would still bang it into oblivion. God, who would you rather: Tom Hardy or Jason Momoa? I really can’t even decide. Drogo versus Mad Max? That’s the Sophie’s Choice of hot men.

What else? Tom’s date for the premiere was not his girlfriend/wife Charlotte Riley, it was his good friend Kelly Marcel, a screenwriter. Hoult looked sort of quiet and he didn’t come with a date (an opening, perhaps, for Bedhead). Sigh… I’m still thinking about Jason and Tom.

I don’t believe in shaming women for their natural figures at all, but for the love of God, why did Elle Magazine do this to poor Taylor Swift? She’s a tall, lanky girl and this jumpsuit – with vertical stripes!!! – is just ten kinds of wrong on her. It does terrible things to her figure. The rest of the editorial is like this too – like Swifty is trying to exploit some of the worst parts of ‘70s fashion. You can see Elle’s cover package here. In the interview, Swifty is mostly talking about music and boys and predictably, she’s pretty full of it at times. Some highlights:

A not-so-veiled reference to Harry Styles: “Shake It Off” and “Clean” were the last two things we wrote for the record, so it shows you where I ended up mentally. “Clean” I wrote as I was walking out of Liberty in London. Someone I used to date—it hit me that I’d been in the same city as him for two weeks and I hadn’t thought about it. When it did hit me, it was like, Oh, I hope he’s doing well. And nothing else. And you know how it is when you’re going through heartbreak. A heartbroken person is unlike any other person. Their time moves at a completely different pace than ours. It’s this mental, physical, emotional ache and feeling so conflicted. Nothing distracts you from it. Then time passes, and the more you live your life and create new habits, you get used to not having a text message every morning saying, “Hello, beautiful. Good morning.” You get used to not calling someone at night to tell them how your day was. You replace these old habits with new habits, like texting your friends in a group chat all day and planning fun dinner parties and going out on adventures with your girlfriends, and then all of a sudden one day you’re in London and you realize you’ve been in the same place as your ex for two weeks and you’re fine. And you hope he’s fine. The first thought that came to my mind was, I’m finally clean. I’d been in this media hailstorm of people having a very misconstrued perception of who I was. There were really insensitive jokes being made at awards shows by hosts; there were snarky headlines in the press—”Taylor Goes Through a Breakup: Well, That Was Swift!”—focusing on all the wrong things.

Writing songs about love: “I’d never been in a relationship when I wrote my first couple of albums, so these were all projections of what I thought they might be like. They were based on movies and books and songs and literature that tell us that a relationship is the most magical thing that can ever happen to you. And then once I fell in love, or thought I was in love, and then experienced disappointment or it just not working out a few times, I realized there’s this idea of happily ever after which in real life doesn’t happen. There’s no riding off into the sunset, because the camera always keeps rolling in real life. It’s magical if you ask anyone who has ever fallen in love—it’s the greatest. Now I have more of a grasp on the fact that when you’re in a state of infatuation and you think everything that person does is perfect, it then—if you’re lucky—morphs into a real relationship when you see that that person is not in fact perfect, but you still want to see them every day.”

She’s not going to rebel against her image: “As far as the need to rebel against the idea of you, or the image of you: Like, I feel no need to burn down the house I built by hand. I can make additions to it. I can redecorate. But I built this. And so I’m not going to sit there and say, “Oh, I wish I hadn’t had corkscrew-curly hair and worn cowboy boots and sundresses to awards shows when I was 17; I wish I hadn’t gone through that fairy-tale phase where I just wanted to wear princess dresses to awards shows every single time.” Because I made those choices. I did that. It was part of me growing up. It wasn’t some committee going, “You know what Taylor needs to be this year?” And so with 1989, I feel like we gave the entire metaphorical house I built a complete renovation and it made me love the house even more—but still keeping the foundation of what I’ve always been.

[From Elle]

I actually like what she says about not being made by a committee, so there’s nothing to really “rebel” against. It’s true, she was never a Disney girl and she wasn’t stage-managed into oblivion by overzealous parents. Her transition from girl to woman has been messy at times, but it’s been her own journey. Which is why I wish she would stop complaining about the “really insensitive jokes” made at her expense. She owns so much of her life, good and bad. Why is she incapable of laughing at herself? Why can’t she acknowledge that parts of her life were and are messy and complicated and funny? I mean, she’s mad hundreds of millions of dollars writing blind –item burn songs. It IS funny. And she should be happy to get the last laugh.

Is it wrong to find all of the Tom Brady hand-wringing to be actually pretty funny? People are losing their damn minds. About BALLS. As we discussed yesterday, Tom Brady likely knew all about the underinflated balls, so says the NFL’s independent investigator. A big part of the proof of Brady’s knowledge comes from the detailed records of Brady texting and calling the equipment people right as Deflategate became a thing, although Brady apparently “refused” to turn over his own emails and phone records to the independent investigator. It looks and smells like an attempted cover-up, like Brady and the equipment dudes were getting their stories straight and Tom specifically was working out what lies to tell during his crazy press conference in January. In any case, Tom has responded to the investigation’s report. By that I mean his agent gave a long-winded and full-throated defense of the Golden Boy. Here is the statement:

“The Wells report, with all due respect, is a significant and terrible disappointment. It’s omission of key facts and lines of inquiry suggest the investigators reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later. One fact alone taints this entire report. What does it say about the league office’s protocols and ethics when it allows one team to tip it off to an issue prior to a championship game, and no league officials or game officials notified the Patriots of the same issue prior to the game? This suggests it may be more probable than not that the league cooperated with the Colts in perpetrating a sting operation. The Wells report buries this issue in a footnote on page 46 without any further elaboration.

The league is a significant client of the investigators’ law firm; it appears to be a rich source of billings and media exposure based on content in the law firm’s website. This was not an independent investigation and the contents of the report bear that out – all one has to do is read closely and critically, as opposed to simply reading headlines. The investigators’ assumptions and inferences are easily debunked or subject to multiple interpretations. Much of the report’s vulnerabilities are buried in the footnotes, which is a common legal writing tactic.

It is a sad day for the league as it has abdicated the resolution of football-specific issues to people who don’t understand the context or culture of the sport. I was physically present for my client’s interview. I have verbatim notes of the interview. Tom made himself available for nearly an entire day and patiently answered every question. It was clear to me the investigators had limited understanding of professional football. For reasons unknown, the Wells report omitted nearly all of Tom’s testimony, most of which was critical because it would have provided this report with the context that it lacks. Mr. Wells promised back in January to share the results of this investigation publicly, so why not follow through and make public all of the information gathered and let the public draw its own conclusions? This report contains significant and tragic flaws, and it is common knowledge in the legal industry that reports like this generally are written for the benefit of the purchaser.

[From E! News]

Basically, everyone is out to get poor Tommy Brady and no one should trust anyone. And the independent investigator is not “independent” nor does he know anything about professional football. WAAAHHHH! Even E! News pointed out that this official reaction is little more than a non-denial denial, and even Brady’s agent can’t summon the strength to officially deny Tom Brady’s knowledge of said underinflated BALLS. It also looks like Deflate-gate really earned its –gate suffix because this whole thing does have a whiff of Watergate to it – the bungled attempt to get a slight advantage, leading to epic lies and cover-ups.

Oh, and after I wrote all of this up, Tom Brady appeared at Salem State University for a previously scheduled Q&A session last night. He was asked about the Wells Report at the very beginning and he didn’t say much. I watched the moment live and I was very unimpressed. He’s such a terrible liar and instead of just saying, “My lawyer said I shouldn’t say anything” or a flat “no comment,” Brady tried to say that he hadn’t “read” the Wells Report yet so he wouldn’t comment until he did. He said: “I don’t really have any reaction, Jim. Our owner commented on it yesterday, and it’s only been 30 hours so I haven’t had much time to digest it fully. But when I do, I’ll be sure to let you know how I feel about it. And everybody else.” Brady said that the report had “absolutely not” tainted the SuperBowl win “because we earned and achieved everything that we got this year as a team, and I’m very proud of that. And our fans should be, too.”

Kylie Jenner (17) and Tyga (25) are still together and still gross. Yesterday, I talked about how Kylie finally admitted using lip plumpers, which is probably a precursor to an endorsement. Kylie has several such deals (including one for Nip + Fab anti-aging products and a hair extension line). That’s how she makes most of her money, along with what she receives for KUWTK.

Kylie recently purchased her first mansion for $2.7 million in Calabasas. She was busted taking photos while driving close to her new digs. This is never a good idea but veers into clueless territory when one’s own father is under investigation in a fatal car crash. She captioned the pic, “Born & Raised … & I’ll probably die here.” Anyway. Kylie’s preparing to move into her own 5000 sq ft home even though she never learned to do laundry. TMZ reports that Tyga is very impressed by Kylie’s adult-like nature and thinks she’s more mature than most adults, which is why he’s dating her.

Tyga is now defiant about his relationship with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner … he doesn’t care about the laws prohibiting adults from having sex with minors, and the reality is … unless someone complains, neither do the cops.

Tyga is telling friends, as far as he’s concerned Kylie is more mature than most adults. She’s a millionaire who runs a company and even owns her own home.

The rapper won’t squarely say if he’s intimate with Kylie, but it’s not hard to read between the lines. He says he “doesn’t give a f*** about what the law says.” He thinks age is relative, and there’s nothing “morally wrong” with a mature 17-year-old dating a 25-year-old.

Fact is … the cops may be on his side. Law enforcement sources tell us they won’t investigate statutory rape involving a 17-year-old unless someone complains, even if the relationship is widely reported. And they say, so far no one has complained.

[From TMZ]

Ugh. Of course no one has complained to authorities about this relationship. Kylie’s family loves Tyga and is thrilled about the situation. Fellow gross guys, Kanye & Chris Brown, blessed the pair. Tyga himself has expressed an us-against-the-world attitude. I find it hilarious that Tyga thinks Kylie is so grown-up and mature. Surely, he’s speaking in a purely physical sense. Most adults don’t have time to prep in the mirror for hours and take 2-hour showers. Tyga only has one thing on his mind.

Above is the new cover of The National Enquirer claiming that Ben Affleck “stormed out” on Jennifer Garner and that they’re in a “$150 million divorce war.” The National Enquirer is basing this on the fact that Affleck was spotted in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia on the week of Garner’s birthday. This was reported by local news outlets in Nova Scotia, we got a tip about it and mentioned it in a story a couple of weeks ago. The Canadian reports also posted a surveillance video of Affleck at a gas station. Locals claim that Affleck was quiet but friendly. There were rumors that he may have gone to a nearby Buddhist monastery and that he may have been scouting property, but none of that was confirmed.

Ben was spotted in Nova Scotia right around the time that the news come that he asked PBS to censor the fact that he had a slave-owning ancestor. However, from what I can find the story did not break until early in the morning on April 17th. The surveillance video was taken on April 16th and someone claimed to have seen Ben in the area as early as April 11th. He was in a remote area of Canada suggesting that he wanted to get away from it all, but it’s a stretch to say that he knew about the negative press at that time. (The Sony emails weren’t published until April 16 and Ben’s recent films have been distributed by 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. So he probably didn’t take off anticipating some fallout.)

The National Enquirer turns Ben’s alleged visit to a monastery to a marriage crisis. They claim that Ben “fled to a Buddhist monastery in Canada to ‘get his head straight’ after Jen accused him of cheating with a hot young co-star [Anna Kendrick] and falling off the wagon.” Their report seems based on known details about his visit to Nova Scotia, along with quotes from a “source” about how Affleck and Garner are having problems. Plus, Affleck wasn’t wearing his wedding ring in the video as he usually does. The print article does not claim that Ben and Jen are getting a divorce, just that they’re trying to avoid one.

The Enquirer’s source says that “Jen saw some emails from Anna and blew up. She demanded to know if Ben is two-timing her… they had a huge fight and Ben had a meltdown… the bottom line is that Jen can’t trust Ben.”

The Enquirer also claims [via Radar] that [Jen] “flew out of Los Angeles to ‘convince him to return home,’ according to a family friend — and was photographed looking distraught leaving LAX.

‘Jen was worried enough that she dropped everything and flew to Canada to give Ben an ultimatum,’ said a source. ‘Jen said she’d give him one more chance to clean up his act.’”

I looked through our photo agencies and the only photos I can find of Jen at LAX are from April 14. The next day, she delivered books and read to children in South Carolina as part of her work with Save The Children. JustJared has coverage of that trip. It’s possible that Jen was seen later at LAX, but if so I can’t find those photos.

I don’t doubt that Jen shouldn’t trust Ben for various reasons, but I think she does. Plus I think he’s having some kind of personal crisis over playing Batman. He was seen out gambling quite a bit last year, but he either stopped doing that or is doing it less publicly. I doubt he’s flirting seriously with Anna Kendrick, she doesn’t seem like the type. As to why he went to a monastery around Jen’s birthday, I have no idea. I also don’t know if she particularly cared that he missed her birthday (presumably, he could have jetted back by then). I’m around her age and I didn’t even want to celebrate my birthday this year. At least he’s going to a spiritual retreat in Canada and isn’t gambling or partying with strippers. (Oh and I checked and there is a casino on Cape Breton Island, where Ben was seen, but it’s a couple of hours away.)

Here are some photos of Ben and Jen, taken on 4-24, after the news broke about him censoring PBS. Not a coincidence.
