During a Monday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, actress Kristen Bell opened up about family life with husband, Parenthood star Dax Shepard, and their two daughters: Lincoln, 22 months and Delta, 7 weeks.

“As someone who has never experimented with drugs, I really enjoyed it,” joked Bell of having an epidural for her unplanned C-section during Delta’s birth. “While they were doing it, I was thinking, ‘What else could we get done down there?’ … Anything to keep the epidural flowing.”

But she started “scratching her face … like a meth addict” when the medicine began to wear off.

After Bell, 34, received some Benadryl to ease the transition back to sobriety, the House of Lies star said the “cocktail” had some interesting effects.

“Do you know what looks really good when you’re on that stuff? Hand bags,” she said. “Or throw pillows or rugs. I was just like, ‘Internet shopping, woo!’ ”

She added: “Thank God I didn’t remember my credit card number. So nothing bad happened, but … honestly, a picture of a throw pillow was as mind-blowing as seeing The Matrix for the first time. That’s how I felt. I’m happy to say I’m stone-cold sober today.”

As for adding to their brood, it sounds like the Hollywood couple are happy with two.

“No. No, no. We don’t want to be outnumbered,” she quipped. “Until, I suppose, I accidentally get pregnant and my third child watches this clip and realizes that he was an accident. Sorry, honey. No, but we’re gonna cap it at two.”

While toting a bag of groceries, funnyman Will Arnett stepped out with his two sons – Archie, 6, and Abel, 4 – at their local farmers’ market in Los Angeles, Calif. on Sunday (February 15).

Sporting matching happy face hats, the brothers took along their walkie talkies for the fun afternoon outing.

Earlier this month, we spotted the boys with their famous mama, SNL alum Amy Poehler.

Arnett recently opened up about his upcoming film — which we’re sure his sons will love.

“I’ve been lucky enough to play Batman in The Lego Movie and moving forward in The Lego Batman Movie,” he told Vindy. “I got to be part of the game that came out around the movie. I’d like to take that a step further and play Batman not just in Lego Batman but in the next incarnation of the Batman games. That’d be rad.”

We are living in an age of digital trickery, Photoshop and CGI. We are also living in an age where grown-ass women still wear corsets. So, what do you believe? Did Disney digitally alter Lily James’ Cinderella-waist in promotional images, or is Lily’s tiny little waist just achieved with crazy foundation garments? I think there are several stills and posters that look like they digitally altered her waist, but in the trailer (and I’m guessing throughout the live-action film), I think her small waist was achieved through corsets. A Disney source denied (to Buzzfeed) that Lily James had been altered in any way, shape or form though:

A source at Disney also denied that the trailer and promotional images had been digitally altered in post-production. The source told BuzzFeed News: “Lily’s waist hasn’t been altered (in the film or in any stills/marketing materials) – she’s wearing a corset.”

[From Buzzfeed]

Yeah, why even deny it? It’s not even that unusual – posters and promotional images are usually airbrushed and Photoshopped and all of that. Why not just admit that and move on? “Our bad, someone was a bit overzealous in post-production, we didn’t mean to force an utterly unreasonable body image expectation on young girls. Sorry!” How difficult is that?

I’m including some photos of the Berlin Film Festival premiere of Cinderella from a few days ago. That’s Lily’s natural waist in her pale pink Dior gown (custom-made!). She’s already a very small woman, but she has very natural proportions. Why isn’t that good enough? I’m also including some photos of Cate Blanchett, because I can’t help myself. A week from today!!! That’s when we’ll be seeing La Blanchett on the Oscars red carpet. Cate’s gown is Givenchy. She plays the Wicked Stepmother and I’m assuming she will be deliciously bitchy.

Madonna has a lengthy new interview with Billboard, and the piece just reminded me of something that I had forgotten: Madonna actually CAN be interesting sometimes. When she gets out of her own way, when she stops trying to be one of the kidz, she actually is somewhat interesting. You can read the Billboard piece here – there’s actually too much to even excerpt all of the interesting stuff. She discusses her collaborators on her new album (Diplo, Kanye, etc), dancing in Ibiza with her daughter, sex, love, Fifty Shades and much more. Some highlights:

Her album collaborators: “I felt like a schoolmarm. Kanye, for instance, has excellent ideas, but it’s hard to get him to pay attention. So my job was to keep him focused. I was the mistress walking around with the clipboard going, ‘Guys, can you please — can you guys come back in the room? Let’s just finish the song. What do you mean you’re going to a photo shoot? What do you mean you have to go to a red carpet event? Get off your phone! Will you stop tweeting? Wait, we haven’t finished!’ ”

Whether the word “bitch” should be banned: “I think that’s bulls–t. The word police can f— off. I don’t want to be policed! I’m not interested in political correctness. The word “bitch” means a lot of different things. Everything is about context. When I first moved to England and heard the word “c–t,” I was horrified. People were calling each other c–ts! And then I realized that, in that culture, it was different — they slapped each other on the back and said, “Who’s the c–t, right, you’re my best mate!” The word “f—” doesn’t just mean sexual intercourse. I mean, “You’re a stupid f—,” “Are you going to f— with me?” “F– off!” (Laughs.) Sex has nothing to do with any of those expressions, and the same goes for “bitch.” If I say to you, “I’m a badass bitch,” I’m owning myself, I’m saying, “I’m strong, I’m tough, and don’t mess with me.” If I say, “Why are you being such a bitch to me?,” well, that means something else.

Whether that language affects a larger discourse about bullying, power, etc: “OK, but that’s another story. Language, and the use of language, is different than one human physically abusing somebody or bullying somebody, or killing somebody because of the color of their skin or their sexual preference or their religious beliefs. I don’t think the two should get mixed up.

Her thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey: “It’s pulp fiction. It’s not very sexy, maybe for someone who has never had sex before. I kept waiting for something exciting and crazy to happen in that red room thing, and I was like, “Hmm, a lot of spanking.”

Whether she would be addicted to Instagram if she was 22: “I am addicted to Instagram. I don’t know what I would do if I was 22.”

Her favorite TV shows: “I watch Game of Thrones with my kids. That’s a good family bonding experience. My own personal obsession is True Detective, because Matthew McConaughey is so brilliant and the writing is genius. And an Irish series, The Fall. I mostly watch old movies, over and over again. All of Godard’s, and Visconti, Fellini, Pasolini. I love Alain Resnais.

[From Billboard]

She also has nice things to say about Miley Cyrus’s IDGAF attitude, whether pop stars are allowed to be dangerous today and how she wants to sit down with the groovy new Pope and talk about sex. And while I don’t 100% agree with her position on the word police and self-censorship of certain terminology, I think her point of view is valid enough.

Star Magazine features Jessica Simpson and her husband of seven months, Eric Johnson, on the cover this week with the dubious claim that “she punched him in the nose.” Their evidence seems to be the fact that Eric is sporting some kind of cut on the bridge of his nose. The article actually contradicts the cover headline, because they claim that Jessica clocked Eric across the face with her handbag, not her fist. According to Star, Jessica and Eric were out at celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont on February 5th. They were drinking a lot and were already buzzed when they got there. (They had a driver.) While there, Jessica allegedly caught Eric giving a pretty girl his phone number and she wasn’t having it. Here’s part of Star’s story, with more in the print edition. Of course Jessica is the one who is crazy and raging.

Just a few hours after pulling up to the A-list hotspot, the couple stormed out after causing a violent scene in the hotel’s lobby.

Witnesses reported seeing Jessica screaming at her husband, and cameras captured Eric collapsing into their chauffeured car with a bloody gash on his nose. So what happened to sour the romantic mood of their outing? Star has the inside scoop on the couple’s startlingly public blowup…

According to friends, Jessica, 34, and Eric, 35, prepared for their rare kid-free night by having a few drinks at home… “They were actually really enjoying themselves during dinner, but that all changed after a few drinks,” says the insider, “because Jessica saw Eric exchange glances with another woman.”

The “other woman” was a pretty brunette sitting at a table behind Jessica. When [Jessica] noticed her husband smiling in that direction, she turned around to see who he was looking at. “Her mood changed instantly,” the source says. “From that point, it was clear things weren’t going to end well…”

When Eric got up to go to the bathroom, all hell broke loose… “After about five or 10 minutes, she grabbed her purse and went looking for him.” What she found sent her into a jealous rage.

“Eric was chatting with the cute woman Jessica had seen him looking at – and he had his phone out too, as if he was getting her number,” the source reveals. “Jessica walked straight over and snatched it out of his hand. Needless to say, the brunette left immediately.”

Things quickly went from bad to worse: Jessica unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse on her husband as he desperately tried to explain himself. “She went crazy,” says an eyewitness. “She was like a woman possessed!” When the couple emerged from hotel, Eric sported a nasty cut on his nose – which the source claims came courtesy of Jessica’s designer bag hitting him across the face!

Clearly mortified as blood glinted on the bridge of his nose, Eric turned and tried to leave. “The hotel is really small, and she was making a scene,” the spy adds. “But she powered over him.” Their screaming continued outside, near the valet stand, in front of several hotel guests.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, February 23, 2015]

If this actually happened the way Star claims, and that’s a huge IF, then it’s domestic abuse. I doubt it’s true by any stretch, though. Considering that Star claims this happened in front of witnesses it seems like someone would have tweeted about it. I checked Twitter and I couldn’t find any tweets about this alleged incident whatsoever. Plus, the couple’s rep denied this story and told Gossip Cop that Eric got that cut on the playground with his 19 month-old son, Ace. The rep told Gossip Copy “Ace was falling off a slide when Johnson jumped to help him and hit his face on the playground equipment.” That seems much more likely than Jessica clocking him in front of witnesses who only spoke to Star.

Meanwhile Jessica has Instagrammed some racy, suggestive pics of herself with Eric. Go here to see. She captioned them #50ShadesofJohnson (except all caps but I’m not doing that) and wrote on one “I’m so in love with you.” Maybe this is Jessica’s way of asserting that everything is fine at home, because otherwise Eric wouldn’t agree to participate in her high school photography project. I doubt that Jessica meant those photos as a cheeky nod to the allegations that she abused Eric. She doesn’t seem bright enough for that.

Last night, NBC devoted hours of prime time to their huge Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary spectacular. There were dozens of celebrity guests, returning guest hosts and returning cast members. I watched it for about an hour and I enjoyed it, but I had no qualms about flipping over to PBS for Downton Abbey. I don’t watch SNL anymore – I used to enjoy it, back when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell were on. But I get sort of bored with it these days and from what I’ve seen, the anniversary special was sort of a mess of too-long skits and too many video packages of previously funny sketches. Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake got to open:

Here are some of the more fashion-y photos from the event. There was a real red carpet and everything! Here’s Taylor Swift in Azzaro – this is such a summery look and let me tell you, it’s FREEZING on the East Coast. How is her skin not blue?

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria. BANGS.

Emma Stone in Christian Dior – this is one of the better Dior looks I’ve seen in a while. She looks adorable.

Kerry Washington in a sexy white tuxedo dress by Adam Lippes. Hot. One of her best looks in a while.

Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas. I feel sort of sorry for Zeta. I feel like she’s still in a bad place.

Dakota Johnson in a Sonia Rykiel dress. This is maybe my favorite thing she’s ever worn. She’s hosting two weekends from now!

And finally, here’s Jerry Seinfeld & Jessica Seinfeld. THAT HAIR. Good God.
