An expectant Ashlee Simpson was spotted with husband, actor-singer Evan Ross, on Saturday (May 2).

Donning a breezy white summer maternity dress, the singer-reality star, 30, went shopping with her hubby at the Topanga Mall in Canoga Park, Calif.

Last week, we spotted the parents-to-be working out at the Tracy Anderson gym in Studio City.

This will be the first child – a girl – for Ashlee and her husband, 26, whom she wed on Aug. 30, 2014.

She is already mom to 6-year-old son Bronx with ex-husband, Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz.

I tend to think Tom Hiddleston is going to hit full “Cumberbatch” later this year, when he shows his range in three films that will all be released within a three-month period. Those films? Crimson Peak, High Rise and I Saw the Light. I tend to think ISTL will be of particular interest for potential awards-bait, depending on the reviews and whether Hiddles is seen as doing a particularly stellar job. What’s my point? That Hiddles is going to find himself in demand, even more so than he is already. Right now, I would say Hiddles is on the cusp – we’ll see how this year’s awards season goes, but it’s very likely that Hollywood will be taking greater notice of Tom in the months to come.

In the meantime, Tom is apparently attached (loosely attached?) to a sequel to Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. It doesn’t seem like Gibson has much to do with this film, currently called Lion Rampant. But according to the Sony Hack documents (now on Wikileaks), Tom is attached to play the lead, Robert the Bruce, in the “unofficial sequel to Braveheart.”

Thor actor Tom Hiddleston looks set to star in the highly-anticipated sequel to Mel Gibson’s 1995 classic Braveheart. According to emails exposed by WikiLeaks, the 34-year-old will take on the role of Scotland’s warrior king Robert the Bruce in the upcoming film, entitled Lion Rampant. Directed by David Mackenzie, the movie will be shot in Scotland and will also potentiality feature Jack O’Connell and Emma Stone.

Lion Rampant – described as the ‘unofficial sequel to Braveheart’ – is reportedly being made by Working Title, the British company behind blockbusters such as Four Weddings And A Funeral. Details of the highly-anticipated film were revealed when an email exchange between former head of Sony Entertainment Amy Pascal and Rich Klubeck, a senior partner in a leading American talent agency, were published. In the messages, he states that he is ‘pleased to share’ details of the Lion Rampant project. He also is said to specifically mention Hiddleston by name in connection with the role of Robert the Bruce.

In a subsequent email exchange between Ms Pascal and Eric Fellner – a Working Title producer, even more details about the film were revealed.

‘It is the story that follows on in history from Braveheart,’ he explained in one message. ‘It is an epic tale of action and romance.’

Mr Fellner then appeared to confirm Hiddleston and O’Connell’s roles in the film, however, hinted that Stone was not yet fully on board with the project. Nevertheless, he seemed determined to persuade the actress to sign up to the project: ‘We are out to get Emma Stone.’

If Lion Rampant does go ahead, the film will tell the tale of Robert the Bruce, who fought a series of wars with the English before leading his country to victory in the Wars Of Scottish Independence. Neither Hiddleston’s agent nor his manager were available for comment.

The vibe I get is that this is more like “I want a pony” dream-casting for a project that hasn’t even been greenlighted. I checked IMDB – there’s no page or mention of Lion Rampant, and Emma Stone, Tommy Hiddleston and Jack O’Connell are not in any way officially connected to this film. And yes, it doesn’t seem like something Hiddleston should do – I know Braveheart was an Oscar-winning film and everything, but no one wants or needs a sequel.

Sin City star Jessica Alba stepped out with daughter Haven, 3 1/2, in West Hollywood, Calif. on Saturday (May 2).

Both sporting shades, the mother-daughter duo were headed to a birthday party. The actress, 34, walked hand-in-hand with her pretty preschooler on the sunny afternoon.

“I don’t have any tricks,” Alba recently said about balancing motherhood and her career. “I just feel guilty all the time and I feel like I’m never doing the right thing.”

“I just pray that my kids are happy,” she said of both daughters, including 6 1/2-year-old Honor.

“If they’re giggling more than they’re crying, and if they’re curious and talkative, then I know they’re good,” she added. “And if that ever stops, and if I see that there’s a problem, then I stop everything and focus on that. That’s my litmus test on whether I’m extending myself too much or spreading myself too thin.”

Right?

In case you didn’t know. There have been rumours all week, and my friend L even indicated that her secret sources said it was going to be Charlotte all the way back mid-last week. But I didn’t want to think that it was true until, you know, now.

I am disappointed. I am frustrated. …

About a week has passed since Jared Leto’s Hot Topic version of the Joker surfaced online. Now Suicide Squad director David Ayer has tweeted a cast photo (minus the Joker) to further tease the comic nerds. A quick rundown from left to right: Adam Beach (Slipknot), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), Karen Fukuhara (Katara), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Will Smith (Deadshot), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), and Jay Hernandez as (El Diablo).

Most of the cast looks unremarkable and oh-so-dark and brooding. Naturally, everyone is zeroing in on Margot in costume as Harley Quinn. I’m including more photos of Margot at the bottom of this post. This an interesting take on the character’s costume. Most people think of HQ dressed like this, although her sartorial leanings have varied considerably over the years. At one point, she did indeed go red, white, and blue. My main issue is how this costume looks a lot like something Gwen Stefani would wear in a music video. Is Harley Quinn secretly a ska girl?

I can’t believe this movie is really happening, but I think DC felt pressure be more adventurous after watching Marvel crush it so hard at the box office. These costumes do look try hard, which doesn’t inspire confidence. Jai Courtney is supposed to be an emerging new star (as is Cara) although he’s quite bland. This movie could sink careers if it’s not done correctly. Speaking of which … isn’t it weird to see Will Smith as part of an ensemble cast? He usually only takes lead roles. Times have changed.

A few days ago, some people theorized that Robert Downey Jr.’s terrible antics during the Age of Ultron publicity tour were the result of RDJ possibly falling off the wagon. For the record, I don’t think he’s boozing or drugging again. I really don’t. I think he’s richer than God and on some kind of ego trip. He’s always been sassy-with-an-edge, but with his Marvel contract paying out crazy money, RDJ has his “f—k you” money and it’s gone to his head. That’s my explanation. Ego is a hell of a drug.

Anyway, as we all know, RDJ has been pissing people off right and left. I think the lowest point was his racism-tinged shade at Alejandro Inarritu, but a close second was RDJ’s Howard Stern interview, when he went off on British journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy. So, compared to those two incidents, RDJ’s Entertainment Weekly Sirius radio interview wasn’t flat-out horrible. He was asked if he ever felt the urge to go do smaller indie films after working on big, gargantuan Marvel films. RDJ’s answer? NOPE. When asked why he says no to indies, this was his reply:

“Because they’re exhausting and sometimes they suck and then you just go, ‘What was I thinking?’ But I’m interested in doing all different kinds of movies. Sometimes the little movies are the ones that wind up taking the most out of you because they’re like, ‘Hey, man, we’re just running a couple of days behind. Do you think you can stay through your birthday and then come back on the fourth of July. And, by the way, but, like, the crew—can you pay for the craft services? And, oh, by the way, man, when we go to Sundance, it’s like, can we just sit you in a chair and you can sell this for six days in a row so that we’ll make 180 bucks when it opens in one theater? God, this is so powerful what we’re doing. What do you think of the movie? You saw it last night?’ ‘I thought it’s mediocre.’ ‘Yeah, isn’t it the greatest?! Man, everyone’s an artist here.’ Actually, most of you are kind of inexperienced and lame.”

For what it’s worth, this doesn’t offend me. I think he does read all the scripts he’s offered, from small indie films to potential blockbusters. And throughout his career, he’s done them all. But he’s 50 years old now and he IS a movie star, for better or for worse. He’s not trying to pretend he’s just some normal guy anymore and no one would believe him (at this point) if he tried to play the morose gay hipster in a whackadoodle family drama featuring incest and beauty pageants debuting at Sundance next year.

The Royal Baby has been named!

Kate Middleton and Prince William have named their newborn daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. In a touching tribute, the Princess of Cambridge – who arrived on Saturday (May 2) at 8:34 a.m. – has been named in honor of her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-great-grandmother.

Announcing the name in a Monday statement, Kensington Palace Tweeted:

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.”

Reportedly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wanted to inform the Queen of their chosen name before it was publicly released.

The Duke and Duchess introduced their newborn just hours after her arrival. The royal couple are also parents to 21-month-old son Prince George.

Do you like the baby name?
