Here are some photos of Jill Duggar and her cat-hating husband Derick Dillard celebrating their baby shower over the weekend. They had their baby shower at… Olive Garden. I honestly didn’t know Olive Garden would host a baby shower, or maybe the Duggars just organized a private room or something? Financially, I guess it makes sense. Jill Duggar does seem to go in for thrift – last fall, we discussed her baby registry at Walmart, and how people could buy Gatorade and Purell for the baby. Olive Garden has pretty reasonable prices, so if you’re going to do a baby shower there, lots of people could eat for less than $15 each.

I was trying to figure out if this baby shower signaled a larger movement, like the Duggars and Olive Garden are getting into bed with each other politically (like Duck Dynasty and Cracker Barrel). I thought I remembered something about Olive Garden and their parent company, Darden, being in bed with conservative politicians. I had to look it up – Darden is a big political contributor overall and they do give a lot to Republican politicians. But they hedge their bets and give to some Democrats too. Darden also looked for ways to get out of complying with the Affordable Care Act. My verdict: Darden is probably not in bed with the Duggars, but the Duggars do like that Darden has mostly conservative views. Plus, who knows? Maybe Jill Duggar has just been craving unlimited breadsticks.

Also, Jilly is due really soon! She’s due exactly nine months after her wedding date, June 21, 2014. Which would mean… end of this month. She waited a while to have her baby shower, right?

I wouldn’t say I’m the most relaxed traveller. It’s because I like order. And, well, there are so many unpredictable variables these days when you travel: the weather, the airline switching aircrafts resulting in you losing your aisle seat, constantly worrying about the luggage,…      

Maybe I’ve just gotten used to the Pinocchio Butt, but it almost looks proportional in these photos, right? Khloe Kardashian was back in LA yesterday, shopping for some jewelry in her workout clothes, the Pinocchio Butt on display. Khloe had been in Florida with French Montana last week, because apparently that’s still happening. People saw French and Khloe in Key West, and then they both returned to LA, where they went to Tyga’s concert with Kylie Jenner. Because apparently that’s still happening too.

According to Us Weekly, Khloe is juggling the affections of both French and her estranged husband Lamar Odom. Lamar and Khloe still aren’t divorced, remember? He never signed the papers. And sources say Lamar and Khloe are still talking, texting and hooking up. God, she just has really bad taste and really bad luck with men.

Meanwhile, Khloe is still fighting to get the Fashion Police gig on E!, but Hollywood Life says that at this point, Khloe just wants to make sure that they don’t hire Amber Rose. Considering E!’s involvement with all things Kardashian, I tend to think Khloe has a better chance at the gig than Amber Rose.

Page Six reports that on Sunday night, at a Paris Fashion Week party, Naomi Campbell and Cara Delevingne threw down…

Over Rihanna.

Supposedly Naomi was offended because she thought Cara was disrespecting Rihanna and then all kinds of pushing and shoving ensued and Cara made a grab for N…      

Actor Neil Patrick Harris enjoyed a Sunday funday with his son Gideon and daughter Harper.

“Fashionis-tots” the How I Met Your Mother star, 41, captioned on Instagram while his 4-year-old twins posed in their stylish duds.

Gideon looked preppy in a plaid button down with a blue cardigan and leather jacket. Meanwhile, Harper dressed as a diva in a pink furry jacket, sparkling dress and boots.

The Gone Girl actor has been enjoying some down time with his kids.

“I guess they liked the chicken,” NPH captioned a sweet video he posted on Monday.

The Doogie Howser alum also took to Twitter Monday with a special message.

“I’m loving this downtime with the kids – taking them to school, preparing meals, reading books. Lots of work but so worth it. #grateful,” he wrote.

The actor – who raises the kids with husband David Burtka – recently shared some family photos on Instagram.

“They’re pretty quintessential boy and girl,” Neil recently told Inside the Actor’s Studio. “Harper is a girl, girl, girl, girl. She wears mermaid outfits and has falls in her hair and you have to announce her when she comes down the staircase.”

As for Gideon, he’s “all boy.”

“He loves trucks and construction and he likes superheroes,” NPH continued. “When he gets mad, he puts his fists together and just shakes.”

For months now, I’ve been ignoring this kid. There’s been a lot of press surrounding this “Benedict Cumberbatch lookalike” boy named Tyler Michell. He’s a little English guy and he’s only 16 years old. I didn’t want to cover it because it felt like it was just a weird viral blip and I didn’t think Tyler was really “in” on it. But as it turns out, Tyler wants the attention and he’s giving interviews now. Interviews about how he looks sort of like a young Benedict Cumberbatch. You can see Tyler’s Instagram here (please remember he’s just 16 and like many 16-year-old boys, he thinks period jokes are hilarious).

Does he have a passing resemblance to Bendy? Sure. Maybe this is my American-ness talking, but I tend to think there are probably a lot of dudes in England with a passing resemblance to Bendy. Seriously, there are so many pale guys with high cheekbones and weak chins. But Tyler is special, I guess. He already has 19,000 followers on Instagram and he’s giving interviews about their likeness. He told The Telegraph (via People):

“It started out as a joke – my close friends and family would tease me and say I looked like Benedict Cumberbatch. I guess I look like him a little, but I really didn’t take it seriously. Now people are messaging me and saying I should have won the Oscar. I get girls from Brazil saying they want to meet me in the U.K., which is crazy as I’m just a teenage boy sitting at home … I’m a huge fan of Benedict, but I don’t think I look like him.”

It would be interesting to see how far a kid could go just by looking sort of like Benedict Cumberbatch. Like, if Gatiss and Moffat do any more Sherlock flashback scenes, would they hire Tyler? If Benedict is doing a film where they need brief scenes of him as a teenager, would they hire Tyler?

The most recent InTouch, above, featured a makeup-free photo of Teresa Giudice and her wonky hairline superimposed on a prison background. This was one of InTouch’s Photoshopped specials and was not a recent photo. Teresa, 42, is two months into her 15 month sentence for federal fraud charges. She is serving time in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, and is expected to be released next February. So we shouldn’t expect to see any photos of Teresa until 2016 – unless her family sneaks in a cell phone during a visit, snaps some photos of her and sells them to the tabloids for six figures. They did that of course, at least according to Radar Online:

“During a recent visit to the prison, a member of Teresa’s family snapped three photos of her smiling,” a publishing source tells Radar.

“In the photos, she is dressed in the light brown prison outfit that she is required to wear. She isn’t wearing make-up, either. Her hair looks a little knotted.”

The photos will inevitably raise serious questions about a breach of security at the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut, notes the source. “You cannot take cell phones into the prison, but somehow, this particular family member was able to — and snapped away without guards noticing!”

“You can be assured that the prison and its warden is going to be furious when these images are published!” continues the source. “It could have serious consequences for Teresa.”

Still, the snapshots could also positively impact 42-year-old Giudice’s bottom line. “Leave it to the Giudices to find a way to cash in on Teresa being jailed!” laughs the source. “The family shopped the images around and one celebrity weekly magazine paid close to $100,000 for them. They’ll be released very soon.”

[From Radar]

Radar is owned by the same company as Star and The National Enquirer, so it’s possible that one of those tabloids purchased the photos. Teresa has a longstanding relationship with InTouch, though, and I would think that she did the deal with InTouch. It’s all about cash, not loyalty for the Giudices though. It’s despicable that Teresa and her family continue to be rewarded for defrauding creditors and the government but I’m sure that she’ll score a seven figure book deal and more fat contracts when she’s released. This $100k minors in comparison. On the bright site maybe she’ll be punished with less visitation and/or more chores once these photos are published.

Teresa’s sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, was on Watch What Happens Live last night. She claimed that Teresa’s husband Joe has been “manning up, and he’s doing what he has to do” to care for his four daughters while Teresa is inside. It doesn’t sound like she’s personally in contact with Joe, because she said she passes him driving the girls to school in the morning. She also said that she’s heard that Teresa is “doing well” from her mother-in-law who “gives me updates all the time.” Of course everything is “fine” and “well,” that’s all these people ever say.

Also, Teresa allegedly isn’t fighting with her fellow inmates, as has been rumored, and she’s not writing a book, according to Melissa. We’ll see. If there’s anything we learned about Teresa, it’s that she fights with people and cashes in wherever possible.

Dear Gossips,

Been on a really heavy reading streak the last few months. By heavy I mean volume and content. Part of it is that I let my shelf get too high. And I’ve been preparing for Canada Reads. The debates begin next Monday. Click here to see this year’s list. I’ll be d…      

Isn’t it such an unexpected pleasure to see a 48-year-old woman on the cover of a major magazine? Major as in, not the AARP Magazine, or More Magazine, or Good Housekeeping. Robin Wright is enjoying one of the highest points of her career and her personal life right now – she’s on the widely acclaimed and award-winning House of Cards, and she’s back with her young lover Ben Foster. She talks about her public and personal life in the April issue of Vanity Fair – you can read VF’s excerpt here. Some highlights:

On her relationship with Ben Foster: “I’ve never been happier in my life than I am today. Perhaps it’s not ladylike [to say], but I’ve never laughed more, read more, or come more than with Ben. He inspires me to be the best of myself. There’s so much to learn. It’s endless. How great! It took me a long time to grow up. Love is possible as life is possible.”

On her divorce to Sean Penn: “I’m not in the business of talking about what ‘isn’t,’my eyes are set forward and I’ve never been happier. I have too much respect for Sean and our two extraordinary children to sell our past joys and woes for public consumption and fodder.”

What she learned from being married to Penn: “I believe we were together not only to have our beautiful children but to learn how to love … for the next time around, the right way. And then, what I’m looking for in people now is kindness.”

Her now-famous super-short hairstyle: “I was just cutting off damaged hair—too much bleach over months of [appearing in] different movies. It was a mercy killing, but it works for the character.”

Late stardom: “I feel as though I’ve just graduated. I mean, I never went to college. I was pregnant at 23. You hear people say how they have ‘arrived,’ but it was just always there, waiting to come out. For me, it just took a long time. I’m 48. I’m finally a person. I think I’m finally ready.”

[From Vanity Fair]

VF also contacted Sean Penn’s rep to see if he would comment on the record, but all they got was a message that Penn was traveling and unable to comment. If you go back to his recent Esquire interview, I think Sean already said what he wanted to say about his marriage to Robin. I think it’s safe to say they were toxic together and they might have even brought out the worst in each other. But I like the way Robin speaks about it, like she learned a lot from the back-and-forth drama with Sean and she’s a lot happier these days. Which I believe. But I’d still like to see her grow out her hair just a little bit!! I’m sorry, but I do find this cut too severe.
