What Duana said about Pitch Perfect 2 in the Elizabeth Banks MET Gala post yesterday? (Click here for a refresher) Co-sign. Pitch Perfect was one of my Top 10 movies of 2012. I can’t wait. We’ve been planning who we’re going with for months.
But…
Birdman star Naomi Watts stepped out with her two sons – Sasha, 7, and Kai, 6 – in Brentwood, Calif. on Tuesday (May 5).
While her elder son held onto a large balloon, Kai looked adorable with his shades resting on his forehead.
Last month, we spotted the St. Vincent actress and her longtime beau, Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber, at their local farmers’ market with the boys.
The mom-of-two, 46, is currently filming Demolition with Jake Gyllenhaal. Meanwhile, Schreiber, 47, continues to play the lead role in the Showtime series Ray Donovan.
Next up, Watts will star in Shut In, a psychological thriller which tells the story of a woman trying to raise her catatonic son on her own, only to suddenly discover a shocking secret about him.

Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman covers the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter and opens up about son Aleph, nearly 4, and her latest project: directing a feature film based on Amos Oz’ memoir, A Tale of Love and Darkness.
On her Oscar: “I don’t know where it is. I think it’s in the safe or something. I don’t know. I haven’t seen it in a while…I was reading the story of Abraham to my child and talking about, like, not worshipping false idols. And this is literally like gold men. This is literally worshipping gold idols—if you worship it. That’s why it’s not displayed on the wall. It’s a false idol.”
On moving to Paris: “I love that my kid wants to go to art museums after school—like, ‘Take me to the Pompidou.’ I love that it’s also not elitist, as it is in New York. You can afford to go to the philharmonic or the opera much more easily because all of it’s subsidized. And there’s a huge culture of cinema there.”
On life with her husband, French ballet dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied: “The disappointments are always in myself, and like, when you’re faced day to day with someone looking at you, it’s like a mirror that you have to yourself, and you can see your own good behavior and bad behavior. And it’s a beautiful challenge to be the best person in the mirror that you can be. I mean, I don’t beat myself up over it, but I’m not always as generous as I feel like I could be.”

Continue reading our interview with Beverley Mitchell…
CBS: Tell us about your upcoming Mother’s Day plans. Do you plan to spend the day with your family?
BM: “I will be spending Mother’s day with my beautiful family and my mom. It will be a wonderful mellow day just spending time with the ones I love. Nothing crazy, it is just about getting time with the people who matter most.”
CBS: What do you think about a Mother’s Day outside of the house, without the kids? (e.g. a day at the spa, lunching with friends, shopping alone). Is this your style? Or would you rather be with your family all day?
BM: “I am still new to the mommy thing, so for me I would much rather spend my day with my family. The best days for me are spent with my husband and my kids. They are the people who make me the happiest. But don’t get me wrong, one of these days I wouldn’t mind a spa day! So maybe a gift certificate for a day in the future, but for now I want to be with my family for Mother’s Day.”
CBS: What are some of your fav Mother’s Day gifts? What would be your ideal MD gift?
BM: “I would love a gift certificate for a spa day, or to be honest, just a clean house and a home-cooked meal. Oh, and maybe getting to watch a movie with my hubby after the kids go to bed.”
CBS: What are your greatest joys of motherhood? Biggest challenges?
BM: “The love of these amazing little humans is more than I could have ever expected. I love that every day is a new adventure, and I am constantly kept on my toes. I have never known a love so deep and I am so deeply humbled and grateful for my blessings. This is the greatest thing I will do in my life, is be a mom, and I think that is awesome. “
CBS: If you could give just one message to all moms across the globe, what would it be?
BM: “I would say that that, ‘You are AMAZING and don’t ever forget it!’ I think sometimes we beat ourselves up and need a reminder that we pretty much are superheroes, and that is pretty awesome.
CBS: How does motherhood connect all women? What are some of the ways we can improve on accepting and loving all moms?
BM: “I think we as humans tend to judge, but as mothers we need to support one another. Everyone parents differently, but the united factor is that we each are doing the best we can, and doing it out of love.
I think we should embrace one another and be supportive and kind. Show our children LOVE, KINDNESS, HUMBLENESS, and GENEROSITY — that is how we will raise extraordinary human beings who will make this world a much better place, which is all we could ever wish for in the first place.”
Thank you Beverley! We hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day with Kenzie, Hutton and your mom!

The Bachelorette alum DeAnna Pappas Stagliano and husband Stephen Stagliano are proud parents to 1-year-old daughter Addison. The new mom opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about how moms are “superheroes” and how she plans to spend the special day.

CBS: Tell us about your upcoming Mother’s Day plans. Do you plan to spend the day with your family?
DPS: “Mother’s Day takes on a whole new meaning to me now. Mother’s are superheroes. This is not only a day to celebrate all we do, but for me, it’s also a day to just celebrate the love I have for Addison. She has changed me forever, and I love her more than anything.
We plan to celebrate Mother’s Day as a family. We will spend it with my mother-in-law as well. She loves a day where she doesn’t have to do anything!”
CBS: What do you think about a Mother’s Day outside of the house, without the kids? (e.g. a day at the spa, lunching with friends, shopping alone). Is this your style? Or would you rather be with your family all day?
DPS: “A day outside the house sounds delightful! For me, though, I would much rather spend that special day with my loved ones celebrating the gift of being a mother.”
CBS: What are some of your fav Mother’s Day gifts? What would be your ideal MD gift?
DPW: “Last year was my first Mother’s Day. Stephen bought me diamond earrings. They are gorgeous and I love them. I don’t expect diamonds every year — I’m not that kind of mom. I love surprises, but not big on extravagant gifts. I love framed pictures of our family together and of Addison. With technology, I don’t print out pictures anymore, nor can I ever find the time to do so. So, when someone does that for me, I am so grateful. And, I wear my POSH Mommy necklace everyday, personalized with Addison’s name. She is alway close to my heart.”
CBS: What are your greatest joys of motherhood? Biggest challenges?
DPS: “I have so many greatest joys! Motherhood has really been such a blessing and a beautiful experience for me. I love our baby girl so much and I am so thankful for how loving and happy she is — always smiling and always laughing. She is her daddy’s girl.
I still remember the first time she grabbed my face and looked into my eyes. In that moment, I felt nothing but pure love and joy. My life was complete. She has really been such a blessing.
As with any child, there are always challenges. She is in a stage now of throwing tiny tantrums. I don’t know where she learned it! She lays on the ground, face down, and pretends to cry if she doesn’t get her way. It’s funny, but I can’t let her see my reaction.”
CBS: If you could give just one message to all moms across the globe, what would it be?
DPS: “Do I have enough experience to give a message? But for those who, like me, appreciate moms everywhere, I would just say that you are a superhero. As moms, we do whatever we possibly can. Life seems to be no longer about us. If you’re anything like me, everything that I live for now, I live for Addison. I want her to be a God-loving woman who respects herself, and I want her to know that she is loved and deserves to be loved. Whatever I have to do to be an example of that, I will.”
CBS: How does motherhood connect all women? What are some of the ways we can improve on accepting and loving all moms?
DPS: “Motherhood is like its own club. You never truly know what moms go through until you are one. It is the most selfless job out there, and yet, the most rewarding.
Some of the ways we can improve on accepting all moms are just good theories for life in general. Why can’t we love and accept everyone? How hard is it to not judge others? We are human, yes, and humans sin every day. As an individual, I try not to judge. I’m not perfect, this I know better than anyone. But, I also know it’s important to spread love and not hate. I want my child and my future children to know how important that is. Life is too short to be so negative.”
Thank you DeAnna! Here’s wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day with Addison and your MIL.
