Bad boy Chris Brown has reportedly become a father — and sources say his daughter has a monarch-themed moniker.

According to TMZ, the 9-month-old baby girl is named Royalty.

On Wednesday, news broke that the rap superstar, 25, and former model Nia, 31, welcomed a daughter 9 months ago.

While Nia and Royalty live in Texas, sources say that Chris now wants to contribute to his daughter’s life.

And an insider says that Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, will help him raise the child.

“Joyce loves her son and she will never think that anything Chris does is wrong,” says a source. “They’re just learning experiences. She accepts Chris’ baby girl and will have a hand in raising her grandchild. It’s that simple. Family is family. Blood and blood. That’s that.”

The trend over the last several years has to been to depict Sherlock Holmes as a dashing young detective, thanks to the one-two punch of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Victorian-era rake and Bimblesnort Cupcake’s twenty-first century misanthrope. But director Bill Condon has a new iteration for…      

Mm, Idris Elba. Here are some pics of Idris out in London this week. He’s actually filming new episodes (or one two-hour special episode?) of Luther. Idris loves Luther and he’s wanted to do a Luther movie for a while too, but people are pretty sure this is just a TV episode being filmed. The girl in these photos if Laura Haddock. She looks really happy to be filming scenes with Idris Elba. You’d have a sh-t-eating grin on your face too if you were that close to Idris’s thunder.

I’ve admitted this before, but here I go again: I really couldn’t get into Luther. The accents were too strong, and you know it’s something when I’m saying that! I love British TV shows, but I can’t understand what half of the characters are saying in Luther, plus the show is literally too dark. The characters need to turn on some lamps. But for fans of the show, yay, he’s back!

What else is going on with Idris? Well, he did a film called Beasts of No Nation where he plays an African warlord. The film was bought by Netflix – as in, Netflix outbid studios – and now the film isn’t going to get a theatrical release, but it will be streamed on Netflix.

Meanwhile, people are still talking about how Idris would make a really good James Bond once Daniel Craig retires. In the past week, I’ve seen like a dozen “think pieces” on why Big Dris should be 007. And when Pierce Brosnan was being interviewed a few weeks ago, he was asked if he thought Idris would make a good James Bond. Pierce’s reply? “Yeah, he would actually.” WORD.

This isn’t a huge story, but I found the discussion endearing and genuine. Julie Andrews is promoting the 50-year anniversary DVD edition of The Sound of Music. I guess that explains why Lady Gaga performed the title track at the Oscars last month. Andrews visited Good Morning Britain to talk about the movie, but I’m more interested in her thoughts on marriage. Julie lost her husband, Blake Edwards, in 2010. They were married for 41 years, and she’s still coping with her pain. Marriage feels like a fragile institution at times, and show business is notoriously rough on relationships. Four decades is a major accomplishment.

Julie talked about how she met Blake, which she describes as “literally ships that passed in the night.” They actually shared the same therapist in the 1960s, and Blake often stopped to say hello. They knew each other for a decade before marrying. The secret of their longevity seems too simple to be true:

Her successful marriage: “He sadly passed away about three years ago, but we were married 41 years and it was a love story, it was. Success in our marriage was to take it one day at a time and so, lo and behold, 41 years later there we still were. There are days when it’s perfectly wonderful and I am myself and then it’s suddenly – sock you in the middle of your gut and you think ‘ah God I wish he were here.’ But he is in a way, I think one carries that love always.”

How they met: “We met about 10 years before, literally ships that passed in the night at some event but we actually … our cars, I was going one way and he was going the other, he rolled down the window after smiling a couple of times and he said, ‘Are you going where I just came from?’ I was going to a therapist he was coming from. Very corny, sorry about that.”

Taking it one day at a time sounds deceptively easy but highly effective. Julie and Blake didn’t overanalyze their relationship and stayed in the moment. We should all be so lucky. There’s a common saying that long marriages can survive when two parties never wanted to get divorced at the same time. I don’t know if that was ever the cause with Julie and Blake (probably not), but it’s a bittersweet adage.

Here’s a video clip of Julie talking about how she met Blake.

FKA twigs is was in Paris yesterday for a performance. Robert Pattinson was seen leaving the venue with her, just after PEOPLE reported that the two had exchanged “promise rings”.

I didn’t know we still did that.

Isn’t an engagement ring a “promise” rin…      

Last year, Salma Hayek made an oopsie about feminism. She was at an event supporting women’s rights, equality in education, etc, and she was asked point-blank if she considers herself a feminist. Her reply? “I am not a feminist. If men were going through the things women are going through today, I would be fighting for them with just as much passion. I believe in equality.” Because we all know how feminism is the fight for inequality, correct? Anyway, Salma has a new interview with The Guardian (she promoting her adaptation of Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet) and the subject of feminism comes up again. Here are the relevant quotes:

When asked, “What does feminism mean to you?”

Salma says, “I am a feminist because I love women and I am ready to fight for women. I am a feminist because I am proud to be a woman, and I am passionate about making the world a better place for women. I am a feminist because a lot of amazing women have made me the woman I am today. I am inspired by women every day, as friends and as colleagues…

“But – it should not be just because I am a woman…A reflex. It should be a reflex, if someone else is being hurt, to help. It shouldn’t have to be because you are being a victim too. I work a lot for domestic violence, and people often ask me if I have experienced it. And I say, no, on the contrary – my father is a great man, my husband is a great man. But we are all human beings, no?”

“The amount of pressure on women now, it’s crazy. You have to be much better than your male colleagues, just so you can maybe try and get the same salary as them. And you still have to be a good wife and mother. And now you also have to be skinny, and you have to look 20 when you’re 40. It’s too much. We need to stop with the crazy expectations, give ourselves a break.”

[From The Guardian]

So… she’s a feminist now. Glad we cleared that up. And I sort of agree that feminism should be a reflex to inequality, which is maybe what she meant to say last year, but everything got convoluted. She also talks about how even though she’s married to a billionaire, she still pays her own bills and she insists that she has no interest in being a “society lady.” She also threw shade at one of her other new films, Everly, because “we don’t want to talk about. It’s not what I thought it would be. I want it to go away, that one.” Ouch.

Congratulations to Vince Vaughn who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday (March 4).

The funnyman, 44, was joined by wife Kyla Weber and their two children: daughter Locklyn, 4, and son Vernon, 18 months. This marks our first glimpse of Vince’s son. We love all the curls!

The Wedding Crashers actor was also joined by friends – such as Swingers co-star Jon Favreau – and other family members at the iconic hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollywood, Calif.

Looking dapper in a dark blue suit and tie, the Old School star was all smiles while dipping his hands and feet into the immortalizing cement.

After cleaning up, Vaughn posed for family photos as he held his daughter in his arms and Kyla carried their sweet son.

What a beautiful family!

Kristen Stewart has a feature in the new issue of CR Fashion Book (Carine Roitfeld’s side venture). Apparently, Kristen wrote (?) a first-person account of who she is and what she digs for the magazine. The piece is called “In Bed With Kristen Stewart.” Only a handful of quotes have been released, and I’ll admit it – this gave me an old-school Twihard pang. Like, some of these quotes took me back to the stuff Kristen was saying when she was with Robert Pattinson, just before she maybe-banged a married director in the back of her mom’s Mini Cooper. Remember when she told Elle Mag (back in 2012), “I can’t wait for something crazy to f—ing happen to me. I want someone to f— me over”? Enter Rupert Sanders. Anyway, here are the highlights from CR Fashion Book:

She digs pain: “I love putting myself through hell and really experiencing that pain. That’s when I feel the most fulfilled, when at the end I feel like I’ve slaughtered myself. And it’s so worth it.”

What turns her on: “For me, the most attractive thing in a person is drive—genuine impulse expressed for the sake of it, not for perception. I think that’s hot.” The need to create “is a compulsion and I share that.”

Her friends: “It’s not hard for me to figure out who I like or who my friends are. I trust my energy meter, but I’m also not afraid to let me people in who might hurt me.”

Impulse control: “I do not approach my life tactfully at all. I’m incredibly impulsive and I am definitely an intense weirdo. I love living and I love people. They trip me out and I want to know more about them all the time. That isn’t something I can turn off and on.”

[From E! News]

I’ll be fair to her on some of these quotes – Kristen has always had a tight-knit group of female friends, and I believe she has a good gut for making friends and keeping friends (exception: Nikki Reed). As for the rest of it… La Lip-Biter is so hardcore, don’t you know? She digs pain. She loves the drama of putting herself and others through hell. And she has poor impulse control. Yep. That about covers it. How long do you think it will be before we find out about some new scandal with Kristen banging some new married guy?

Nicholas Hoult was photographed on the set of Top Gear yesterday in Sussex for the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment. There was a training session with the Stig. And then he did his laps. The final time, obviously, will air on the show.
