OMG. Angelina Jolie attended Saturday night’s Kids’ Choice Awards with two dates: her daughters Zahara and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. And OMG. Look at their faces!! Angelina is officially the coolest mom in the world in this very moment. Shiloh and Zahara are just gorgeous, aren’t they? Shiloh looks so much like Brad and Zahara is just so stunning. There are tons of photos of Angelina and the kids, and although they didn’t walk the carpet, she let her girls hang out with all of the cool celebrities inside. You can see more photos here (OMG, the girls met NICK JONAS). This was Angelina first public appearance since she announced the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes last week.
Jolie was there for a reason – she was up for two awards, Favorite Villain and Favorite Actress. She won Favorite Villain for Maleficent (and lost actress to Emma Stone). You can see the winners list here. When she picked up the Villain award, Jolie talked about being different and how it’s great to not fit in with the crowd:
Angelina Jolie has given an insight into her misfit youth with an empowering speech in her first public appearance since revealing she had ovaries removed. The actress has been hailed as an icon for candidly addressing her health woes. And on Saturday night, she opened up about feeling like an outcast to the young audience, and her daughter Shiloh and Zahara, at the Kids’ Choice Awards.
‘When I was a kid I was told – like Maleficent – that I was different,’ she told the audience as she accepted the Best Villain award for her role in Maleficent. ‘But then I realized something: different is good. So maybe you don’t fit in. Be yourself. And when someone tells you that you are different just smile and hold your head up, and be proud. And as your villain,’ the actress added with a wink, ‘I would say, “Cause a little trouble. It is good for you!”‘

I’m sure some parents are going to be like “NOOOoo, don’t tell my kids to cause trouble!” But I think her message is fine – it’s fine to be different, it’s cool to stand out and be different, and sometimes people will say you’re “causing trouble” when you’re just being you.

Iggy Azalea‘s very popular with the kiddies today, thanks to her radio-friendly duets with pop artists. So it wasn’t surprising to see her nominated twice at Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards. Iggy received nods in the Favorite New Artist and Favorite Song categories but won neither title. She performed “Trouble” with Jennifer Hudson in a prison-inspired yellow jumpsuit, which was silly. Iggy did well on the red carpet though. She wore a sweeping ball skirt by Temperly London. The metallic floral print is bold and fun, and the shape is event-appropriate. The sporty white crop top makes the outfit seem breezy and casual. Iggy avoided her bad Grammys hair in favor of a flattering high ponytail. This is probably the best we’ve ever seen her look at an event. Ig even had an admirer pose with her on the red carpet. Prepare yourselves.
Chris Rock and Iggy have met at least once before this event. He once told Ryan Seacrest how he introduced Iggy (but not “her a**“) at NYC’s Jingle Ball event last year. Rock attended the show with his mom, Rose, and his two daughters, Zahra and Lola.
Suri Cruise had the time of her life in the audience, but she and Katie Holmes didn’t walk the red carpet. This is the first time we’ve seen Suri in over a year — probably because they moved to LA where it’s a little easier to avoid the paps than in NYC. (FYI: Gawker has a investigative report on how Katie avoided some paps during her NYC trips to Whole Foods.)

Zendaya wore a DKNY pencil dress. She pulled off the bright yellow color and horizontal stripes well. I’m not crazy about her bobbed wig, but it goes with the funkiness of her outfit. She is a little over-accessorized. The pink clutch is too much.
Sarah Hyland chose a fancy white t-shirt and white lace skirt. She looked low-key and casual, just right for the event. Sarah’s clutch is Kate Spade New York.
Willow Shields wore an awesome, polka-dotted jumpsuit with sharp tailoring and a half-bared belly. Primrose Everdeen is growing up before our very eyes. Willow posed with her DWTS partner, Mark Ballas, who is always adorable.
Meghan Trainor‘s dress with a white leopard print is okay but much better than her usual too-precious looks. I wish she’d stop doing her “wowza!” expressions on the red carpet.
Ariel Winter wore a little floral dress that was cute but wasn’t styled very well.

Here are some photos from Saturday’s Kids’ Choice Awards. You can see the winners list here. It seemed like a fun event, and many of the older celebrities brought their kids and lots of kids got to meet their favorite celebrities. And all was well with the world. Kaley Cuoco was there, of course, because she’s not really a full-on movie star yet. She’s still got to do these gigs, like the People’s Choice Awards and such. Kaley didn’t even bring her husband out! That’s how little she cared. Kaley wore a Lela Rose two-piece ensemble which… it’s not terrible. It’s actually pretty cute for a kid-friendly event. Not too fancy, not too revealing, with giant polka dots. Cute. I also like that she’s growing out that disastrous haircut too.
There might be another reason why Kaley wanted to show off her toned midriff as well – over the past few weeks, there have been rumors that Kaley is expecting. She keeps denying those rumors, but they persist. For what it’s worth, I don’t think she is knocked up. Life & Style claimed last week that Kaley “really wants a baby right now” but Ryan Sweeting “isn’t ready” and they’ve been fighting about it a lot. Gossip Cop got a denial – go here to read. When and how a couple decides to have a baby is the kind of thing the couple should discuss before their whirlwind engagement and marriage, don’t you think? And I’m not entirely convinced that Kaley is focused on anything other than her career right now – she probably doesn’t want a baby at this moment.
More photos… here’s the lovely Mo’ne Davis, making her first public appearance since that jackass called her a “slut”. Salon had a really great write-up about why that incident was so disturbing. Just let me know if you want more Mo’ne coverage, because I love this young woman. She’s an inspiration and I would love to write about her.
And here’s Jennifer Hudson. She looks great, except for the mushroom-cap hair. Girl, NO!

Robyn Lawley has had a huge year, personally and professionally. She appeared as the first plus-sized model in SI Swim (you can see her slideshow here). She also became a first-time mother in February. Robyn previously fended off criticism after admitting she had a tough time deciding whether to keep the baby. But once she made her decision, Robyn fell in love with motherhood. She and boyfriend Everest Schmidt chose a cute name, Ripley, for their baby girl. I was thrilled to note a celebrity baby name that wasn’t overused (Ava or Jackson) or completely weird (most other examples), so it never dawned on me until now that Ripley can easily work for a girl or boy.
Robyn has a new interview with Australia’s Brands Exclusive magazine. She confirms that she chose Ripley for its androgynous status (and because she loves Ridley Scott’s Aliens). Robyn also revealed how she plans to raise Ripley in a completely gender-neutral environment: “I want gender-neutral toys and clothes. In all honesty, I think we separate the genders too greatly by the toys and hobbies.” So … she won’t be dressing Ripley in pink ballerina outfits. Robyn will avoid a clichéd princessy bedroom theme for Ripley. Hopefully, the baby won’t be stuck with a taupe-colored wardrobe.
I don’t want to stereotype first-time mothers (because I was and still am one), but this feels like a new mommy thing. During pregnancy, we all gobble up the baby-prep books and develop grand ideas about how we’ll raise our children. Then the kid arrives with personality largely intact and blows our theories into smithereens. My daughter gravitated towards pink and lavender dresses until about 4th grade. Then her sartorial taste shifted abruptly (all jeans, all the time). Her formerly pink decor is now all-blue, by choice. So I think Robyn is overthinking things, and Ripley will make her own choices when she grows a bit older. We make parenting hard for ourselves, right? Kids will be kids.

Anna Kendrick covers the new issue of Glamour UK. It’s a terrible photoshoot. I think they were trying to make her look a little tousled and glam and she just looks… inappropriate. Some girls just can’t pull off that kind of styling. Anna references as much in her interview, discussing how she still “looks like a teenager.” Which is true, and not some kind of Ryan Phillippe-esque humble-brag about aging. I would imagine that Anna – who is almost 30 – wants to transition into more adult roles, but she’s stuck playing so many college-aged characters because she seriously looks 19. You can read the Glamour UK piece here, and here are some highlights:
Smiling on command for photographers: “Every year that goes by, I think that my on-camera smile is going to get easier. It’s got worse and worse, to the point where I’m giving that Britney Spears terrified smile, where the lips are upturned, but there’s nothing but fear in the eyes…I’m also the queen of ruining group photos. All my friends will be smiling and looking really pretty, and I’ll be there pretending to pick my nose—or actually picking my nose. It’s a fine line.”
She’s not into the getting pap’d: “Part of it is because I’m dressed really boring in sweatpants and sneakers, so those pictures just don’t sell. You need to be really styled—in the perfect leather jacket and little booties, and have your red lipstick and your coffee—and I haven’t managed that yet. If I’ve got jeans on, it’s a good day.”
She’s going to turn 30 this summer: “I feel like 29 is just total garbage. I’d rather just be 30 for two years. When I say I’m 29, I think I sound like I’m trying to make sure everybody knows I’m not 30. I look like a teenager. I really like ’50s-style dresses, but they make you look childish, and I don’t want to look like one of those people trying to look like a little schoolgirl. I’m trying to give a message to the world that I am a grown up.”
Advice from George Clooney: “I remember Clooney talking about Rosemary Clooney and saying that she was really popular and then suddenly she just wasn’t that hot any more…Nothing changed, she didn’t forget how to sing, but suddenly people just cooled off on her. I’m always sort of prepared for that, so I’m not patting myself on the back for any of the social media stuff. I know that at some point people might just turn around and be like, ‘I hate you.’”

The thing about social media is that different kinds of people are “good” at it. Like, Anna Kendrick is never going to be the lady to rule the red carpet with her amazing style (she just said as much). She’s never going to be the Kardashian-esque famewhore who will do anything for attention. But Anna can develop and stoke her fanbase through social media, and they feel personally invested in her career and life in a different way. She’s sort of a musical-theater nerd and delightfully dorky, which works for her. And hey, her career is going like gangbusters too. I feel like she’s probably The Next Amy Adams, you know?

This is so great!
Gwen Stefani and her parents took her three boys: Kingston, Zuma and Apollo to the mall to sit on the lap of the Easter bunny and get their pictures taken. It looked like everyone, including Gwen, was having an absolutely amazing time. After getting their pictures taken with the Easter bunny, they decided to walk around the mall a little bit more and snag some lunch. Check out the slideshow below for all of the amazing pictures.

How adorable is this!?!
Isaiah is his daddy’s biggest fan in a recent picture Carrie Underwood shared on her Instagram page. Isaiah was born back on February 27th of this year, but 32-year-old Underwood has been keeping his pictures private — until now. Finally, Carrie showed off a picture of Isaiah and he looks absolutely adorable! Carrie’s husband, Mike Fisher, is an NHL player for the Nashville Predators, and she photographed her son, Isaiah holding a miniature hockey stick to support his father’s team. She captioned the picture:
“The Predators are in the playoffs! Just waiting to get called up! #PutMeInCoach”
She’s so cute!
Kim Zolciak isn’t shy when it comes to showing off pictures of her kids on Instagram, but that’s a good thing, because we can’t get enough of the cuteness. Once again, Kim delivered the kids, as she shared a picture on Instagram of her little princess, Kaia, wearing some bunny boots! This is a picture that’s just too-cute-for-words. She captioned the photo:
“Kaia admiring her Bunny Boots This morning #MyPrettyPrincess ?? boots from @gracious_may headbands are from @marleero and outfit from @childrensalon”
Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and North West going to see the movie Home in LA on Saturday. They were joined by Kourtney Kardashian and Penelope and Mason Disick. Sigh… North is back to wearing black, I see. At least she got to wear light-colored kicks. And I guess this is Kim’s version of casual-wear – jeans so tight that they looks like they’re about to split. North looks cute with her hair in a little bun though. She’s adorable.
Meanwhile, this story is amazing – you know how the Brits love their “exclusive clubs” and members-only establishments? Well, they’ve exported the Soho House to NYC and LA, to pretty decent results. The Soho House in LA is celebrating its five-year anniversary, and to mark the occasion, The Hollywood Reporter did some interviews with the people behind the scenes, plus some members. I guess we’re supposed to be impressed by how bitchy these people are and how they look down their nose at reality stars and the like. But it just sounds so juvenile. In any case, Kim Kardashian has applied to be a member several times and she’s been turned down every time.
Los Angeles’ Soho House turns five years old this year, and some members of the private club’s management are spilling secret details about who has been allowed in and who hasn’t.
“We denied access to every Real Housewife who applied,” Tim Geary, the former membership director, told The Hollywood Reporter. And the no’s didn’t end there…
“Kim Kardashian has unsuccessfully tried numerous times. Kobe Bryant showed up and chose not to join. We didn’t let him up. There was debate over Britney Spears. Not sure how that played out. We tried not to give membership to people who would fuel paparazzi or bring press.”
Geary continued, “The hardest memberships to deal with, though, were the headmistress of the school you want your kids to get into and the coaches of my sons’ baseball and soccer teams.”
[From E! News]
The Soho House is all about privacy as well as exclusivity, which means no unauthorized cameras inside the establishment, and they don’t want a lot of paparazzi milling around outside either. I’ll say this – we rarely get pap photos outside of the Soho House in LA, and the only interior shots are “official,” like when the Soho House hosts an event and there’s ONE official photographer or something. Which is totally antithetical to how Kardashians operate, so yeah. Why would Kim even want to join?

Taylor with @CalvinHarris at the @kennychesney concert! pic.twitter.com/WR7qLj4qNT
— Taylor Nation SG (@taylornationSG) March 27, 2015
Thursday night, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris stepped out – together! – at a Kenny Chesney Concert. Taylor got on stage briefly to perform with Chesney, but she spent much of the concert in the audience, with Calvin. The above Twitter photo comes from some people creeping on Swifty and Calvin’s body language throughout the show, and there are many more photos – go here to see. At one point, Swifty was standing in front of Calvin and he had his arms wrapped around her waist. Other eyewitnesses said that Swifty and Calvin were “holding hands” and even “kissing” too.
All of this followed last week’s revelation that Calvin seemingly flew to Nashville to spend time with Swifty, and they even got photographed going into Whole Foods. So, are they happening? Um, YES. They are happening. I believed they were happening when I saw their matching outfits at Whole Foods, but the arms-around-the-waist thing plus the kissing thing? Yes. They’re totally happening. And I would say they’ve probably been happening for longer than people think. Remember, Swifty went to Vegas all of a sudden last month to see Calvin DJ at a club. And Calvin recently finished things with his girlfriend, so there could have been some overlap, and Swifty could have been the reason why Calvin broke up with his girlfriend. And for what it’s worth, E!’s sources say that they’re happening too.
Sounds like “getting snuggly” at the Kenny Chesney concert is just the tip of the iceberg for budding couple Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris. Just one day after the 24-year-old singer and the 31-year-old record producer were spotted looking cozy in Nashville, a source tells E! News that the two have actually been hanging out since late February when they first met at the 2015 Brit Awards.
What’s more? The insider reveals that the Scottish DJ is actually quite smitten with the superstar!
“He is taken with her. They connected properly at the Brits [Awards], and it’s been going on since then,” the source says, adding that the award ceremony “was when they really connected.”
“It’s been going on a few weeks,” the insider reveals. “They actually make a great couple. They are just getting to know each other and we’ll see what happens.”
Neither Swift nor Harris has confirmed the romance rumors. Speculation went into full swing earlier this week when the two were spotted together at Whole Foods in Nashville.
“He is such a good guy,” the insider says of Harris. “He’s serious but also very goofy at the same time. She really likes that combination. It’s exciting for both of them. It’s hard to meet someone in their business.”
[From E! News]
I wouldn’t have put Calvin down as a fan of butterscotch kisses, apple picking and cuddlefesting, but hey… why not? They’re both rich, they’re both single, and they’re both big deals in the music industry. I kind of hope Swifty “gets hers” and they both go into it with open eyes. I mean, her tour starts soon. This isn’t going to be a long-term romance. But it can be a hot, sweaty fling and they can stay friends (with benefits) afterwards.
Oh, and Calvin tried to throw people off the scent in an interview a few weeks ago, saying that “She looks lovely but she’s the opposite of my type.” Oh, Calvin. Pretty soon you’re going to be brushing Scottish fold kitties in between tea parties and decoupage.
