SEAN PENN AND CHARLIZE THERON

Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, & The Nanny: What We’ve Learned

gwengavinCelebrity lives can serve as a model of do’s and dont’s, especially during times of divorce. And Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have taught us some very serious lessons. Here’s an easy-to-read list of advice for both cheaters and victims of cheating.

1. Victim: Only hire unattractive or elderly nannies to care for your children. Unless, of course, if your husband is Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then all the rules are off the table.

2. Cheater: Learn about the iCloud.

3. Victim: If your husband puts his hand on your nanny’s ass while hiking, BE CONCERNED.

4. Cheater: Use snapchat for naked pictures. What else is it for?

5. Victim: If your nanny starts to steal your style ideas, that’s probably not the only thing about your life she wants to steal.

6. Cheater: If your wife is a super-hot songwriter who will likely write music about you, perhaps you should thing twice about cheating.

7. Victim: If you’ve sadly been cheated on, your next boyfriend should not be a man whose last marriage began from an affair.

Rashida Jones’ Verizon Mom is Actually Her Mom

When I first viewed Rashida Jones’ Verizon commercial beside her on-screen mother, I immediately felt outraged. “Why couldn’t they cast a woman who is actually old enough to be her mother,” I thought. Then I fueled my fiery rage with thoughts about Hollywood ageism, and all the other actors that would have jumped at the chance for the exposure. When I googled it, I discovered others were equally aghast and felt proud to join the party. Then I stumbled upon an embarassing truth for The Dishmaster. The woman starring as Rashida Jones’ mother in the commercial is actually her real-life mother! Apparently, Peggy Lipton drank from the fountain of youth and looks shockingly young. Watch the commercial below and see for yourself.

Mary Louise Parker Addresses Billy Crudup’s Affair With Claire Danes

  Hollywood’s hottest scandals usually involve cheating, but the muck takes on extra meaning when one of the parties is pregnant at the time of the indiscretion. For those that simply forgot, here’s the rundown. ‘Weeds’ star Mary Louise Parker’s longtime partner, Billy Crudup, flew the coop for Claire Danes, who was his co-star in ‘Stage Beauty’ at the time of their torrid romance. Parker never publicly discussed the scandal, but her big belly and her exes very public display of affection for his new lady love said enough. Years later, she is speaking up about her heartbreak in a new book, in which she writes letters to exes. Parker recounted her unnecessary argument with a cab driver who kicked her out while she was pregnant for yelling at him. Her reply to him saying he didn’t want her in his cab anymore was, “No one [wants me] and “I am alone. Look, see? I am pregnant and alone. It hurts to even breathe.” Catch a clip of Claire Danes on Howard Stern discussing her decision to start dating Crudup at the time. Danes and Crudup didn’t last, and she has since married Hugh Dancy.

Tim Gunn Hated This Season’s Project Runway Contestants

  “I’m telling you — and I haven’t said this very much — I hated season 14,” Tim Gunn tells EW. “I hated it. I felt that other than a couple of designers, they weren’t working up to their potential. The whole thing was lackluster . . . . I have a theory about it, which is that they just weren’t hungry.. Their audition videos from home, you know, they’re sitting by a pool, they’re taking us into their closet with all their designer clothes, and I just thought, they’re not hungry! Most of them. And I think that was largely the issue. I wasn’t at the auditions [this] season for the first time ever, and I blame myself, because I wouldn’t have put up with a lot of it.” Tim Gunn, on his disappointment with the most recent season of Project Runway contestants.

Hilary Clinton on Kimmel: Kids Women Can’t be President

Though it’s certainly a funny bit to ask children for their take on a female President so as to expose that true bias starts young, this Presidential practice of late night antics is getting tired. It began with John F. Kennedy appearing on Jack Paar, and it’s since become a standard practice, in an effort to show our potential leaders are likable. As for Hilary Clinton, she’s doing better, but she still appears super inauthentic, and I’m not sure it’s possible to put her on the right track. I’d encourage her to watch herself get angry during the Benghazi questions, because that’s the only time I’ve ever seen her genuinely authentic. Watch the Kimmel bit below.

Woman Disguised As Man Beats Her Opponents in Soccer

While I like the idea of a woman showing men how it’s done in a bid to reverse the standard gender stereotypes, the experiment only makes sense if the best in the field for each gender play one another, and the women win. Watch as Brunette Brenda, a 21-year-old professional footballer, plays against the boys while disguised as a man, only to reveal her true identity when she’s finished. The feature is for the Spanish TV show El Hormiguero.

Angelina Jolie on Those Sony Hacks

  “There are certain things that bother me and certain things that don’t. Personal attacks on me? I think I’m just so used to it . . . . Honestly my first instinct was that I was worried about Amy [Pascal]. I had someone call her and ask if she was O.K. Not because I’m a saint, but because I think we have to look at the bigger picture. She’s got kids. I knew it was going to unravel for her.” Angelina Jolie on her reaction to the infamous Sony hack, and Producer Scott Rudin’s very vocal attacks on her via email.
