Tom Ford made his directorial debut in 2009 with A Single Man, for which Colin Firth earned an Oscar nomination, and now, six years later, he’s lined up his sophomore project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ford has signed on to direct Nocturnal Animals, based on Austin Wright’s…      

Singer, actress and reality star, Christina Milian, appears on the May cover of Latina and dishes on her relationship with Lil Wayne and being a single mom to 5-year-old daughter Violet.

On being a single mom to daughter Violet: “I’m doing everything in my power to be a great mother. I wish I could be with her throughout the day, because I’m always working, but I make sure that whether it’s the morning or nighttime, I make it extra special.”

On instilling a healthy body image in her daughter: “I want Violet to be proud of every little thing that is her—her hair, her body. We’re all different and from early on I’ve always said she has a very confident personality and I want her to maintain that. I don’t want her to be stuck thinking about the scale or thinking, ‘I gotta have straight hair’ and all of this.”

On her relationship with Lil Wayne: “The deal is he’s my man…crush. I think he’s awesome. He and I have a very special relationship and I think I’ve always been very careful with it publicly because when you have something special it’s like everybody picks apart words. They’ll pick apart a moment in a picture and take something that’s special and trash it.”

And I just wrote the other day in this post here from Monday that:

“Holy sh-t. Jon Hamm hasn’t looked this good in a long time. Fresh and well-rested and…happy.”

Now we know one of the reasons. TMZ reported yesterday that he’s just come out of rehab. Hamm&rs…      

Celine Dion and her husband, René Angélil, in 2013
Celine Dion has always been open and honest about her personal life. When Celine was trying for a baby, she told the public about her fertility issues and multiple miscarriages. She had a successful pregnancy which resulted in twin boys, Nelson and Eddy, born in late 2010.

Last summer, Celine left her lucrative Vegas residency, citing her husband’s failing health and saying that she wanted to “devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing.” Celine has done just that. In a new interview with ABC News, set to air today, Celine revealed that her husband René Angélil’s throat cancer has progressed to the point where he needs a feeding tube to eat. Celine broke down as she explained that she feeds René, 73, three times a day. René had surgery which left him unable to speak or eat. Celine is also set to return to Vegas in August.

Dion, 46, revealed in an interview with ABC News’ Deborah Roberts that Angélil, 73, has to be fed by feeding tube because of his throat cancer.

“He can’t eat so I feed him,” Dion told Roberts during the interview in Las Vegas, at which Angélil was present. “He’s got a feeding tube. I have to feed him three times a day.”

Dion and Angélil have been married since 1994, after meeting 14 years prior. They have three sons together — a 14-year-old and 4-year-old twins. Dion has walked them through their father’s cancer battle.

“I really believe that children know it all,” Dion said. “We are afraid of explaining because we’re scared, because we’re worried.”

“If you tell the kids,” Dion continued, “like I said to my children, ‘You want to come and help me feed papa today…You want to help me out? Want to hold the water? You are a good feeder. Good job, Nelson. Good job, Eddie. Thank you so much. Come on, give a kiss to papa…’”

Now, nearly one year [after leaving her Vegas show] as Angélil continues his fight against cancer, Dion says the show, and their love, will go on. Dion will return to Las Vegas on August 27 with a brand new show.

“I’m doing it for him. I’m doing it for my fans,” Dion said. “We have a ticket to live. We have a ticket to ride. We’re living, so live. Let’s go.”

I wonder if Celine is returning to Vegas because she truly wants to or because she can’t get out of her contract and she’s taken her maximum one year leave. The last I heard, prior to her husband’s health crisis she had extended her contract until 2019. I do believe that Celine is caring for her husband on her own. She may have help from family, but she was also caring for her twins as newborns without outside help. (Her sister and mother had moved in with her to help at the time.)

The good news is that René was well enough to accompany Celine to the interview. ABC News has a photo of him and he looks like he’s doing ok. I hope this is Celine’s choice to return to Vegas and not something she’s doing out of obligation. I also hope her husband’s health is stable.

Incidentally, Celine was asked about fellow pop stars Mariah Carey also getting residencies in Vegas and she was very magnanimous about it. She said “I think it’s going to help all of us be the best of ourselves. There’s one Mariah. There’s one Britney and it’s wonderful not only for Las Vegas. This is a new, wonderful opportunity for us to be able to give our best.” She is so classy and I wish her and her family the best.

Here’s a clip of Celine’s interview:

Following Angelina Jolie’s announcement that she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed following a cancer scare, there was once again an outpouring of support and official statements online and on social media. Jolie announced her latest surgery with a NYT op-ed, which is how she did it in 2013 when announcing her double-mastectomy. I tend to think there was more of a stunned and shocked reaction back in 2013, but this time around everyone has seemed much nicer. I think most of us were prepared – in her 2013, Jolie said that she would undergo the salpingo-oophorectomy at some point, it was just a matter of when. So, here are some reactions to Jolie’s latest announcement:

*People Magazine did a weird write-up about how Brad Pitt “supported” Angelina during her surgery this time, but there isn’t any new information there, it’s just an assortment of old quotes.

*Some celebrities – many of whom have family history of cancer – posted links to Jolie’s op-ed. Mindy Kaling’s mom died of pancreatic cancer and Mindy posted about Jolie’s op-ed on all of her social media. Go here to read more about the celebrities reacting positively to Jolie.

*Calaneet Balas (cool name), the CEO of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, said: “By speaking out about her increased risk of ovarian cancer, Angelina Jolie has helped shine a spotlight on this deadly disease. In addition to being aware of their family history, we hope women will use this moment to learn the symptoms of ovarian cancer so they know the signs to watch for and when to seek medical attention.”

*Dr. Richard Wender, the “chief cancer control officer at the American Cancer Society” had more cautious words, calling Jolie a “very responsible communicator,” but saying Jolie’s announcement will “engender some fear. Some women may think, ‘Well maybe I’m a BRCA carrier and I should get tested.’” And? Why is that a bad thing? You can read more of his statement here.

*One of Angelina’s long-time doctors, Dr. Kristi Funk, released a statement too: “We continue to applaud Angelina Jolie’s willingness to share her journey with the BRCA gene mutation. Since the original release of her story, countless women around the world have been made aware of the gene and have been able to explore lifesaving treatment options to lower the risk it poses to their health. The best defense for BRCA gene mutation carriers against the threats it poses to their health and well-being is to educate themselves as much as possible on the risks and treatment strategies available. No single strategy works universally. Each woman’s life circumstances are unique and her treatment plan should be developed to reflect an individualized approach.”

As Angelina has said repeatedly, these were her choices, and her choices to make on her own behalf. The only thing she’s really encouraging is further discussion about women’s health and access to more and better health care for women. I’ll say it again: so badass.

Dear Gossips,

Deadline reported exclusively yesterday that Warner Bros and Bradley Cooper are working on a deal for him to direct the third (or is it fourth?) remake of A Star Is Born. Warner Bros has a short list of favourite actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Ben Affleck. R…      

Blended star Drew Barrymore chats with Glamour about some of her beauty must-haves, and family life with husband, art consultant Will Kopelman, and their two daughters: Olive, 2, and Frankie, 11 months.

On her body wisdom: “After making two babies, holy cow, does your body do some crazy stuff! It’s hard to stay positive and love yourself. You feel like a kangaroo with a giant pouch; everything’s saggy and weird. But you think about how beautiful it is that you’re able to make children. When I lose sight of that, I exercise, read Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, and spend time with my kids. Then I start to see things that are bigger than myself.”

On her favorite feature: “My hair. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I destroy it time and time again, and it’s still there, semi-happy. I love playing with it; it’s like my personal plant—I keep getting to prune it.”

On her selfie secret: “You don’t always have to look stunning on Instagram. I’ve been makeupless, pregnant, and stuffing food in my face in many pictures; that makes it all the more exciting when I do do something more attractive. I don’t like it when everyone looks so perfect all the time. Where’s the humor in that?”
