Nicholas Hoult appears in the May issue of GQ to promote Mad Max: Fury Road. You can see the shoot (where a dalmatian steals his hat) here. If you’ve seen any of the movie’s clips, you know that Nick plays an absolutely bonkers guy (Nux) who careens through the desert wearing ghoulish makeup. Nick had to shave his head for the role, and he told E! that he enjoyed endured the experience: “It was quite freeing in a way. Once you’ve gotten rid of it it’s like ‘don’t have to invest in shampoo anymore. There’s also the moment where it gets very short, and then it gets like Velcro.” That quote is actually better if you read it aloud in the suave Hoult voice. Nick also gave some “advice” to GQ readers:

Does he like giving advice? “Not really. To be honest, I don’t think people should listen to my advice. And most of the time, people don’t really want advice anyway. They just want to hear what they want.”

The worst advice forever: “Drink more. Have that shot.”

Should you split a check? “You should always offer to split a check. There’s a lot of complications in that question because you have to take into account where you’ve gone, who decided the place. How expensive the place is, who ordered what. Always offer.”

If your girlfriend won’t stop bringing her friends on dates: “Put a positive spin on it. You want spend more time alone with her. Quality time. You have to say that. Always be positive.”

[From GQ]

Nick says all of these things in a self-deprecating manner, and he jokingly refuses to give advice to a reader who wants to ask his girlfriend to do some “ladyscaping.” The question about splitting a check is probably the most quoteworthy. He’s probably talking about a night out with friends, but I think it also applies to an initial date. So I’m gonna interpret Nick’s advice to also mean that ladies should be prepared to split the tab with a fella. Agreed? Go.

Here’s the “advice” clip from GQ.

Milla Jovovich recently welcomed a second daughter, Dashiel Edan, with husband Paul W.S Anderson. Back in the late 1980s when Milla burst onto the scene as a teenage supermodel, I would have never imagined her as a settled-down mother. She and Paul live a very family-oriented life and enjoy making bad zombie movies together. It works for them. Another thing that works for Milla is co-sleeping with her children. She’s always co-slept with 7-year-old Ever Gabo, and now the family bed grows more crowded with the addition of the new baby. Milla spoke with mommy blog Romy and the Bunnies to discuss why she co-sleeps:

She co-sleeps with Ever: “I’ve always been inspired by mothers in Third World countries. I feel that the connection with children and mothers is so strong in places where there are not so many ‘things’ to get in the way. No electronic distraction devices, no high tech baby equipment, just a mother carrying her little one everywhere, sharing a family bed and having the help of all the other women around to raise the baby. I always thought that the Western way of raising kids was so disconnected. Everyone has their cubicle at home, babies go into nurseries, little kids have their own rooms. You are so separated from one another! We have been co-sleeping for years with our daughter and I feel that it’s helped us so much to stay connected as a family.”

The benefits of co-sleeping: “Especially as my husband and I can have such tough work schedules making films, where we’re on set for at least 12 and sometimes 14 hours a day! Because we share sleep at night, our daughter naturally feels very connected to us and that in turn makes her want to please us! She trusts us and listens to what we say. There is an innate sense of respect between us all that I feel can be lacking with some of the other parents and children I see in our society. I feel that some problems that parents say are ‘typical’ i.e. arguing, defiance, tantrums, interrupting, disrespect, disobedience, screaming etc. we just haven’t had to deal with in any serious way!”

It works for Milla, but she doesn’t judge: “When our daughter was a baby, I was so used to living on another schedule that I was a zombie for the first few months! She was never a ‘good’ sleeper, so every 2 or 3 hours I was waking up to feed her and calm her. I never wanted to let her signals go unanswered and letting her ‘cry it out’ was not the way I wanted to raise my child. We’ve always been believers in sharing a family bed or having her in the same room as ours at night. Not that I judge other methods of mothering, I just knew that it wouldn’t make me happy to allow her to be separated from us at night and cry for hours on end. And I always say, whatever you need to do to be a happy mother is the best for baby.”

[From Romy and the Bunnies]

I agree with Milla’s statements on how co-sleeping promotes trust and a connecting bond between child and parent. She’s a little smug with the “no tantrum” claim, and I wonder if the new baby will change that equation. I’ve known a few people who considered themselves to be the most fantastic parents after enjoying a non-argumentative, well-behaved first child. Then a second child arrives with a very different personality, and all bets are off! Co-sleeping sure makes nursing at night easier as long as safety is a priority. The practice works for Milla and her family, and that’s what really matters.

Dashiel is two weeks old today and I still haven’t gotten out of my pj’s!???? That’s what it is to be a milk manufacturing facility!????????#twoweeksold #proudtobeawoman #nursingmybaby #mamabear #ladiary

I tend to believe that Robin Wright and Sean Penn’s kids are split on gender lines – Dylan Penn is her mother’s daughter and Hopper Penn is tight with his dad (possibly because Hopper is a chip off the ol’ block). But this week’s Star Magazine claims that Robin is still involved with both her children, to the point where she’s trying to turn them against Sean Penn’s lover, Charlize Theron. The tabloids have tried to make this into a thing before – remember the story of Chuckles Theron? Yeah. And while Sean and Robin have been taking public shots at each other for months, I’m not sure if I believe it goes this far:

Insiders tell Star that Sean Penn’s ex-wife Robin Wright “absolutely despises” his new love, Charlize Theron – and isn’t shy about venting to her kids.

“Charlize has no relationship with Hopper and Dylan, because Robin won’t allow it,” a close friend reveals. “Robin tells them what a snob Charlize is and likes to point out how much time Sean spends with Charlize’s son. It’s really twisted.”

Despite moving on with Ben Foster, Robin still wants to be seen as the jilted spouse. “Robin and Sean had already split up when he and Charlize got together, but to Robin, Charlize is still the Other Woman… she might say she has respect for Sean, but behind closed doors, it’s a very different story.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

As I said, there’s no “behind closed doors” here. Robin came right out and said Ben Foster was a better lover than Sean. Sean has been throwing shade at Robin in interview after interview too. They are very public in their distaste for each other. And I honestly believe that Robin has perfected her Icy Bitch Realness to the point where she wouldn’t even deign to acknowledge Charlize’s presence. Or perhaps Robin does acknowledge it with perfectly executed passive-aggressive comments, like “Maybe Charlize will be able to help him become a better lover and a better man. Bless her heart.” As for the situation with the kids – Dylan and Hopper aren’t little kids, you know? Dylan is 24 and Hopper is 21. They’re old enough to make their own decisions about Daddy’s New Girlfriend.

I’ve been ignoring Lindsay Lohan for the better part of a month, for good reason: she’s still an utter cracktastrophe and covering her stupid drama has actually gotten sort of boring. I’ll get to the “still a cracktastrophe” part in just a moment, but first the real news. Back in February, Lindsay tried to crack-lie her way out of her community service hours at the very last minute, when she somehow completed two weeks of community service in three days. The City Attorney laughed her out of court and the judge ordered her to do an additional 125 hours by May 28th. Lindsay’s lawyer Shawn Holley went into court in LA yesterday for a progress report. This is what happened:

Lindsay Lohan has a new set of excuses to justify her anemic community service performance — she’s completed less than 10 of the 125 required hours. Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, was in court Thursday AM, along with prosecutor Melanie Skehar, laying out Lindsay’s progress at the London-based community service facility.

Pretty shocking, and predictable … Lindsay has completed 9 hours and 45 minutes. It’s especially maddening because more than 2 months ago the judge threw out a chunk of sketchy hours … including the credit she got for appearing onstage for her play.

Lindsay’s excuse du jour … the community services center has changed locations and now it takes her an hour-and-a-half to get there. She has to hire a car service for the 3 hour round trip. Holley said she’d like Lindsay to do the remaining community service in Brooklyn, so it sounds like LiLo may be moving stateside again.

The prosecutor did not ask for an arrest warrant, but the judge said, “If Lindsay does not get this done by May 28th there will be consequences.”

[From TMZ]

“Consequences” like a slap on the wrist. Ugh. And I love how everyone pretends like “the community center moved far away!” is a reasonable excuse. Chica, you’re in London!! Surely there’s somewhere else you could do some charity work?

As for the cracktastrophe… Star Magazine has a lengthy story about how Lindsay is still partying like crazy and she’s still a melodramatic crack monster, etc, etc. Lindsay was in Milan last week with a “swarthy” mysterious stranger (“john”) and the paparazzi got photos of Lindsay sobbing and wailing on a street corner after the stranger dared to say “no” to her. The Milan trip came before and after several instances where Lindsay was a “hot mess” in various London hot spots. On April 15th, outside of Cirque le Soir, “Lindsay was a hot mess. Her belly was falling out of her jeans. People were embarrassed for her.” Another source tells Star, “Lindsay has been partying nonstop in London… she stays up late drinking, eats bad food because she’s hung over, then does it all over again the next day.”

No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani was photographed with son Zuma, 6, in West Hollywood, Calif. on Thursday (May 7).

The pair stepped out for a mommy-and-me mani-pedi appointment at a nail salon. What a cute mother-son duo!

Last month, the Spiderwebs singer, 45, was spotted with her sons Kingston, nearly 9, and Apollo, 1, at a birthday party in Encino.

The mom-of-three is currently working on her upcoming solo album, the follow-up to 2006’s The Sweet Escape.

She has been collaborating with Pharrell Williams, with whom she served as a judge on The Voice.

Thanks to Henry who sent this to me because I would have missed it otherwise.

Brandon Flowers. His back. No shirt. NO PROBLEM.

Henry asked if he was too tanned. Or skinny. Not for me. I like skinny. I prefer lanky over juiced up. So this is cranking all my gears. And I’ve been acceleratin…

BUTTERFLY WINGS.

Our butterfly comes flying out of butterfly wings!

Well…

“Flying” might not be the right word. Our butterfly doesn’t actually fly. Instead, our butterfly, according to the New York Times review…
