These cutie pies are having a blast.

It looks like the Kardashian’s had a little get-together yesterday, as Khloé Kardashian couldn’t help but share some cute pictures of North West and Penelope Disick. In one of the pictures, it looks like the two girls are having a blast and doing what young kids do best — exploring! In the second picture Khloé shared on her Instagram, we get to see their cute little tennis shoes. Khloe captioned the picture:

“Happy Feet!!! Kourt Rob North Penelope KoKo”

It looks like they were all having a blast and enjoying time together. So sweet!

I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever used the phrase “the common woman” in all seriousness. I think I might have written it sarcastically, to make fun of some peasant-shading elitist, but I can’t say that it’s a phrase that comes rolling off the (peasant) tongue for me. But then again, I’m not constantly defending myself against charges of unbridled elitism. To be fair to Gwyneth Paltrow, she was not the first person in this CNN Money interview – she was asked how she thinks she has anything to say to “the common woman.” As in, the CNN interviewer asked her that. So… while I’m not giving Gwyneth a total pass, I think she was just rephrasing the question. I also think she truly believes that she has an enormous amount in common with the commoners. Some assorted quotes from Gwyneth’s CNN interview:

The purpose of Goop: “What we try to do at Goop is curate and to edit. We know that a woman’s time is her most precious resource and we want to multitask, get a lot done, and what we want to do is provide the best solutions.”

The common woman: “I’m incredibly close to the common woman in that I’m a woman and I’m a mother and we all are in a physical body with beating hearts with compassion and love we are all seekers…we all want fulfillment, we all want to live our best lives. We want to be healthy and happy and squeeze the most we can out of life. I think that’s all women.”

The perception that Goop is only for rich people: “I always say that when people make that false assumption, it’s because people haven’t actually gone to the site and seen what we’re selling and seen what we’re about… I think the idea is that we’re going to find the best thing and where it is at any price point.”

Don’t call her a lifestyle guru: “I see myself as an actor and a mother and as an entrepreneur. I don’t see myself as a guru at all. I’m not a guru because I’m the one asking the questions. I’m not purporting to know anything.”

She certainly has her talking points down – she said some similar things in her recent Wall Street Journal interview too. Do you really think Gwyneth Paltrow is down with the common woman? I think it’s interesting that she’s trying to seem like she is. I think it’s interesting that this is her new image. She’s no longer the snotty elitist deigning to speak to the common people, she’s trying to say that we are all women and we all go through the same crap. Are you buying it? And by “buying it” I mean “$5000 Goop-curated booty shorts.”

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Duchess Kate post, Kate isn’t done with her public schedule. It’s surprising, isn’t it? I think most of us expected Kate to slow down once she got into the final stretch of her second pregnancy, but to her credit, she’s still clocking in a significant number of public appearances (“a significant number” = maybe three a week). Still, we wanted her to work more and she’s really doing it. Credit to her. And to the new Kensington Palace PR guy, who really seems to have gotten through to Kate in particular.

Kate was out and about in Woolrich today, visiting the Brookhill Children’s Centre and meeting with lots of kids and volunteers. Good for her. Kate also wore a new dress! Yay for something we haven’t seen before! Kate’s polka-dotted black and white wrap-dress is by ASOS. Apparently, it only costs $63. That’s VERY affordable. A few things: Kate has a real penchant for wrap dresses even while pregnant. The style of this dress reminds me of her Issa-loving pre-marriage days. The dress is also just a tad shorter than it should be (and she had been doing so well with her hemlines!). Also: chica loves polka dots and I just don’t get it. But that’s my thing, I fully admit that. I never think polka dots look sophisticated. But for Kate, for her style, this is a win. As for the black coat (which she actually TOOK OFF when she went inside, shock!), according to one of the royal correspondents, “The Duchess of Cambridge’s black coat today was made by her private dressmaker. She has had it for a while.”

What else? I think it’s an interesting choice she consistently makes, to wear black clothing around children. Maybe it’s practical – if sticky-handed kids stain her dress, it won’t show. Maybe. And she wore her hair down and I don’t have a problem with it. It’s a daytime event, she was mostly inside, so why not have her hair down? You can read more about the event here.

This is so adorable! Kim Zolciak’s husband, NFL star Kroy Biermann, 29, shot a video of KJ and Kane going for a ride in their battery-powered ATV. Of course, the video was just so cute that Kim couldn’t help but sharing the video on Instagram. She even slows down the video near the end, so you can see KJ smiling and waving while in slow motion. This kid is so happy that he’s smiling from ear-to-ear. Kim captioned the video: “I can’t #MyBoys #ThatSmileThough #HeBarelyGetsTimeOutCauseOfThatSmile #SoPure #KaneHasRocksInHisHandHeWontPutThemDown” Click on this link to watch the video. However, we must warn you, it’s absolutely too-cute-for-words!

As we discussed earlier this week, Heather Mills spat out some words about her ex-husband Paul McCartney during an interview on an Irish chat show. Heather had nothing but shade and crazy, claiming that Paul was just “a normal guy that happened to write a few cool songs in the 60?s and a few in 70?s.” She also claimed that the kids have no idea who Paul is and that’s why he has to work with people like Kanye West and Rihanna, to have any kind of musical relevancy. As I said, she’s a massive pill.

So it was with great pleasure that I read blowhard Piers Morgan’s Daily Mail column, which was all about Heather and how he’s known her for a long time. He was also a guest on the same Irish chat show AND he claims he was the one to introduce her to Paul McCartney back in the day. The whole piece is an easy, bitchy read – go here to read the whole thing. My favorite parts:

Introducing Heather to Paul: “I introduced Heather to Paul at a charity event in 1999. It was a moment that his daughter Stella later thanked me for with the immortal words: ‘Dad’s really grateful, you cost him $50 million.’

Their divorce: “After their bitter divorce battle, in which Heather tried to single-handedly destroy Paul’s reputation, I issued a public apology to the singer, declaring: ‘I’m sorry Macca for ever introducing you to this little monster.’ She rang me the next day, screaming abuse down the phone. ‘Why the f*** are you doing this to me?!!!’…After more foul-mouthed invective, she suddenly paused, lowered her voice and sneered: ‘I know why you’re doing this… Because you’re a Paul fan.’

His assessment of Heather in general: “She’s a total fantasist. An inveterate liar for whom the truth never gets in the way of a self-aggrandising yarn. Don’t take my word for it, take the words of the judge in her divorce whose damning conclusions were effectively that she’s a greedy, ghastly creature prone to ‘make-belief’. He also said there was no actual evidence to support her much-vaunted claim to donate most of her earnings to charity. I believe Heather married Paul McCartney for his fame, money and to further her own career. The same Paul McCartney she now so gleefully trashes.”

[From The Daily Mail]

Piers goes on to say that he briefly met Paul’s third wife, “a delightful American lady called Nancy Shevell” and that Nancy is utterly lovely and never even name-checks her husband for special service. Obviously, Piers Morgan is an utter starf—ker and snob, but on Heather Mills, I’ll take his word for it. I think he’s probably dead-on about her.

Get ready, because this is guaranteed to make you laugh!

Teen Mom 2 star, Jenelle Evans, 23, took to Instagram, because her son, Jace, wanted to share a special message with everyone about zombies. He notifies us all that zombies are bad, and that he plans on spanking their butts! Jenelle captioned the hilarious video:

“Jace had a message for everyone about zombies.”

To watch the video in its entirety, you can click on this link.

So, who’s going to help Jace out by spanking some zombie?

My general rule of thumb on political stories is to only cover them if there’s some kind of celebrity or juicy-gossip angle. This story has a celebrity angle, in some really amazing ways. This isn’t even the first time I’ve written about Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Illinois) – last year, Rep. Schock was “outed” online after he seemed to be living his life one way (allegedly he’s gay) while supporting fervently anti-LGBT legislation. Anyway, Rep. Schock resigned in disgrace yesterday from the House of Representatives. Rep. Schock has been mired in some pretty amazing controversy for several months, and it kept getting progressively worse for the young congressman with each passing day. Schock was supposed to be one the bright future leaders for the GOP – he’s handsome, adept at social media, friendly and not a rage monster. Moms could look at him and say “what a nice young man!” Then it all went to hell. Here’s a laundry list of Schock’s transgressions.

*The whole scandal exploded when the Washington Post published photos and a story about Rep. Schock’s crazy Downton Abbey-themed Congressional office. Go here to see the photos of his office. When I say “Downton Abbey-themed” I mean red walls, black candles, gilded sconces, crystal chandeliers and pheasant feathers.

*It wasn’t just that Schock made the questionable choice to decorate his DC office like a Downton Abbey set – taxpayers initially paid thousands of dollars for the decorations. Schock had to reimburse the government for $40,000 (for pheasant feathers and gilded sconces).

*Schock got thousands of dollars in fraudulent reimbursement for mileage (on his car). That’s thousands of dollars defrauded from the taxpayers.

*He used public funds to charter private planes so he could watch the Chicago Bears play.

*He spent thousands of dollars on other questionable “business trips.” The money came from public funds AND campaign funds. And he liked to charter private planes for every trip.

*He spent campaign money on massages. And taking his congressional interns to see a Katy Perry concert.

When he announced his resignation he said: “Today, I am announcing my resignation as a Member of the United States House of Representatives effective March 31. I do this with a heavy heart. Serving the people of the 18th District is the highest and greatest honor I have had in my life. The constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself. I have always sought to do what’s best for my constituents and I thank them for the opportunity to serve.”

It’s widely believed that Schock is only resigning now so he won’t have to face a long and embarrassing investigation by the House Ethics Committee. The committee doesn’t have the jurisdiction on ex-House members. But I’m guessing that some federal prosecutor of even a local Illinois prosecutor is taking a hard look at all of this.

Back in October of last year, we heard that Jude Law was expecting his FIFTH child by a third baby-mama. Jude has three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost, plus a daughter, Sophia, with his one-time hookup Samantha Burke. And now the third baby-mama has given birth. This lady is Catherine Harding (stage name: Cat Cavelli) and she’s only 23 or 24 years old. They had a daughter, name unknown.

Jude Law is a father again. The actor and his ex Catherine Harding have welcomed a baby girl, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter,” Law’s rep said in a statement Tuesday. “Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected.”

Law, 42, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost (sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and daughter Iris, 14) and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with model Samantha Burke, confirmed that he was expecting a fifth child (his first with the singer-songwriter) in October.

“Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” the actor’s rep said in a statement at the time.

[From People]

Well… congrats to them. I think this was probably handled better than the Samantha Burke situation, mostly because Burke seemed to think that Jude was going to drop everything to be with her and the baby while all he really wanted was a paternity test. It sounds like Jude and Catherine were legitimately dating for at least a few months. And I guess Jude either hates condoms or he’s just super-fertile and no birth control can hold back his swimmers. Jude’s paychecks must be going entirely to child support at this point. Yikes.

A month ago, Amber Rose angered the Kardashians by saying what a lot of people were thinking about Tyga dating underage Kylie Jenner. Amber did not do so with malicious intent. Power 105.1 asked Amber what she thought of the situation, and she responded accordingly. She didn’t diss Kylie. She simply said, “[Tyga] should be ashamed of himself. For sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17.” Translation? Tyga dumped his baby’s mother, Blac Chyna, for his 17-year-old babysitter.

Khloe Kardashian was the first to strike back. She’s always the first to jump into any argument involving her siblings. She immediately tweeted insults at Amber for her teenage stripping days. Khloe and Amber started slinging the word “wh*re” at each other. It wasn’t pretty.

A few days later, Kanye West stood up for the Kardashians. He insulted Amber, saying he had to shower 30 times before getting with Kim. Amber retaliated by tweeting a Ray J. reference (which was fitting). Amber then tweeted an implication that the Kardashians will spit Kanye out sooner or later. Then she tweeted, “After all these years I never snitched on u and I don’t plan on starting now. We once loved each other so I won’t do u like that.” Just like that, Amber took the high road.

Amber’s been away at various club and carnival events for the past month. She had belated discussion with Entertainment Tonight about Kanye and Khloe:

On Khloe’s slams: “I don’t hate Khloe. I don’t hate her. I could have totally minded my own business when it came to her sister. But, me being a dancer at such a young age, dealing with older men gave me the humility and knowledge to speak on such a subject. [But] I can understand why it came across the wrong way to her. I get it. But, that’s a phone call she could have had with me. [Khloe] didn’t have to tweet 11 times and try to humiliate me when, the only reason why these girls have careers is because their older sister had a little fun on tape. Let’s be realistic. Which I never ever hated on. I’m all for a woman making something out of nothing. You know what I mean? If you can do something and bring your entire family on and make millions of dollars, that’s dope to me. I love that.”

On Kanye’s insults: “We were happy when we were together! And now all of the sudden, I’m getting slut-shamed because we’re not together anymore and it’s not fair.”

On slut shaming: “I deal with it every day. I deal with it via social media. People out on the street. They don’t quite understand why I post what I post and how I speak on social media. I’m sick of it and I’m here for my girls and we’re gonna do the Amber Rose Slut Walk this summer and it’s gonna be awesome.”

[From Entertainment Tonight]

Amber made herself clear. She regrets answering a question about Kylie and Tyga (even though she was correct). She calls out the irony of Khloe insulting a teenage-stripper past when the entire Kardashian family became famous as a result of something equally risqué. Amber drives it home by letting the world know Kanye never had a problem with her past until they weren’t together. That sounds about right when it comes to Yeezus.

Amber’s new hashtag, #AmberRoseSlutWalk, is taking off on Twitter. Amber plans to organize her own version of the SlutWalk, a feminist protest movement against rape culture.

We never talked about Katie Holmes’ visit to the Zac Posen show at NYC fashion week last month. Katie wore a 1940s-style Posen coat & accessorized with an expression like she was hiding a big secret. Maybe that smirk meant something? In fall, 2013, we heard Katie and Jamie Foxx were getting busy and “keeping it quiet.” Since I have a soft spot for Katie and would do very bad things for Jamie, I embraced these rumors. The new couple was said to have hooked up during the 2014 Super Bowl weekend in Miami. Alas, we never saw photo evidence, so the story died out.

Surprise. People claims that Katie and Jamie have been furtively hitting it all along. It sounds like they’re friends with benefits:

There have long been rumors that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are linked romantically … so are they actually an item?

In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, multiple sources confirm the pair have been spending time together for well over a year — but it’s nothing serious.

“This is not some intense romance,” a source with knowledge of the situation tells PEOPLE. “Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn.”

Adds the source: “But contrary to those conclusions, they’re not about to run off and make some serious commitment.”

The actress, whose new drama Mania Days premiered at SXSW over the weekend, bought an L.A.-area home in August and moved there with daughter Suri, 8.

An insider tells PEOPLE Holmes, 36, has been spotted visiting Foxx, 47, “often” at his nearby home and that “they spend hours together” at a time.

While sources don’t expect Holmes to take things to the next level with Foxx, she’s open to another serious relationship one day.

[From People]

If the story is in People, it’s either true, PR-sanctioned, or both. I find it interesting that People took this long to endorse the covert romance. Katie and Jamie are probably having a fling, right? They don’t have strong feelings for each other but can’t stay away. Or perhaps they still don’t want to anger Tom. Does he still matter?

I’m including photos of Jamie, Katie, and Tom together at a 2006 Vikings vs. Redskins game. Plus some pictures of Katie and Jamie onstage at the 2013 Hamptons event where the good times (supposedly) began. Get it, girl.
