The "Fantastic Four" beauty enjoyed a few laughs with the hilarious talk show host while sharing some interesting details about her husband Cash Warren's 35th birthday party.
"With his birthday, he wanted a pajama pizza party," Jessica explained. "And so I guess that's what you do when you're a grown adult."
She continued, "You have a pajama pizza party and you play games and so we're all wearing onesies because like what else should adults wear? We're playing really grown up games like Twister, and Jenga with a twist."
While the night started out fun, it seems everyone, including herself and her conservative father-in-law, had a little too much to drink. "Popo got a little drunk and then he called me the next day and he was like, 'That was a fun party and the punch... it got me. I got loopy and then when the cops came.' I was like the cops? The cops came?"
"He was like, 'Yeah, you gave them Cash's cake! You answered the door and you gave...' I was like I don't remember that at all. They came by to tell us to turn the music down," she added.

The ?Waiting For Tonight? singer looked a bit sleepy as she headed into the studio for the project which also stars Wisin y Yandel and Ricky Martin.
And given that J. Lo?s ex-husband Marc Anthony just broke up with Chloe Green, it?s interesting that Lopez recently told Glamour that she still loves him.
Jennifer confessed, "I do. I love him as the father of my children and as my friend. That doesn't mean that we were meant to be in a marriage forever though? He's my biggest fan and I'm his."

The "American Hustle" actress, who is nominated for Best Actress, joined her fellow industry pals and prepared for a fun-filled party celebrating their success.
The talent pool for this year?s Oscars is remarkable, with almost too many excellent films, stars, and directors who all deserve their spot on the roster of nominees.
And it?s anybody?s guess which flick will score the coveted Best Picture trophy given that ?12 Years a Slave,? ?American Hustle,? ?Captain Phillips,? ?Dallas Buyers Club,? ?Gravity,? ?Her,? ?Nebraska,? ?Philomena? and ?The Wolf of Wall Street? are all excellent choices.

The "National Treasure" beauty looked absolutely stunning in a sparkly dress while her "Fringe" boyfriend wore a blue suit as they made their way down the red carpet.
Meanwhile, Miss Kruger spoke to Vanity Fair Daily about her and Joshua's recent trip in death valley with only their Mercedes B-Class F-Cell car.
"About five years, ago Mercedes - I guess because I'm German," Diane explained. "They called my manager, and they said, 'We're developing this car that is run off of hydrogen. Would Diane be interested to drive it in L.A.?' So I've been driving it for the past two years."
She continued, "And it's really a remarkable car, and, you know, us Germans, we're very much into green, and new technologies. So, especially in L.A., where you have to drive everywhere, I was really interested to see how it would do. And it's my favorite car in L.A."
Also discussing how Mr. Jackson became involved with the project, the 37-year-old actress stated, "I don't know if you've met Josh, my partner, who would do anything to go camping. We decided to just go out there and film. And that's what we did."
In regards to the trip, Diane revealed, "It was lots of fun during the day. The difficult thing is it's freezing at night, so it's really difficult to dress for everything. Putting up a tent, it's just not my thing."

And there were smiles galore as Honor and Haven explored the playground while the ?Good Luck Chuck? babe and her handsome beau proudly looked on.
As her girls are getting a little older, Jessica told press things have transitioned a bit in their household.
?Their needs are a little different now. They?re getting to an age where they play together and they do fight, which is funny. They steal stuff from each other. They?re constantly snatching things out of the other one?s hand, destroying something that the other one?s building. It?s normal kid stuff. I did the same thing with my brother.?

![Brad Pitt was in Pasadena, holding a 'secret script?: what's this all about' Brad Pitt was in Pasadena, holding a 'secret script?: what's this all about'](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_TKOYN112814PCN_Brad01.jpg) Here are some new photos of Brad Pitt in Pasadena over the weekend. He made a ?secret? (?) trip to a studio and came out with a ?secret? script. I have absolutely no idea what any of that is about. Brad has worked a lot more than Angelina (in front of the camera) over the past four years or so, but I checked IMDB, and he doesn?t have any big acting projects in the immediate future. He?s narrating a Terrence Malick film called Voyage of Time ? perhaps that explains the visit to a studio? Maybe he was going in for voice work. And maybe the script is?? I don?t know, maybe something to do with the sequel to World War Z? He?s already signed on for WWZ2, but I doubt they have much of a script or anything yet.
Brad?s supposedly done filming Fury, so I guess he?s growing out his WWII haircut. I don?t have a strong opinion about it either way ? I like Brad with short hair and with long hair. The only issue is how greasy his hair might look, and he looks pretty clean in this photo.
As for Angelina, I don?t know where she is. Your guess is as good as mine. I hope she?s getting some sleep and eating lots of pasta. She?s probably holed up in some editing room somewhere, piecing together Unbroken. Right now, Unbroken is scheduled for release this Christmas, but we all know that could change. I tend to think Angelina will probably get post-production work on Unbroken done pretty quickly.
Last thing: Angelina and Brad?s second Chateau Miraval rose wine is being described as ?mouthwatering? and everybody wants to guzzle bottles of the Miraval wines. This is one of the best side-projects they?ve ever done!

Kristen has been much more press-friendly as of late, giving longer interviews on behalf of her Balenciaga contract and seeming more? loose, I guess. Not so grumpy, more willing to play. Anyway, yesterday I just had some early highlights from the interview, but now Marie Claire has released the whole piece online ? you can read it here. She smokes Camel filters. She fidgets constantly. She curses a lot and talks like a Valley Girl. She also gave Marie Claire one of her poems. For real! You can read it here. Some additional highlights:
On making choices based on what frightens her: ?Dude, I have no idea what I?m doing, and that?s kind of how I love it. I had no idea Twilight was going to be huge. Certain movies I?ve done I thought were going to be amazing did nothing. So it?s fun not having so much control. It?s kind of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants lifestyle ? it?s fun, but it?s scary as f–k. If it?s not scary, it?s usually ? you kind of have to step back and go, ?You?re probably making this decision because it?s right on paper.? But unless you get that irking fear, it?s not right.?
On being thrown into the unknown: ?I really like being thrown into the unknown and then finding my way. I don?t want to show someone something. I want people to watch me find something.?
On her M.O: ?I?m kind of, like, an extremist. I really don?t want to be working unless I?m bleeding it. And if I?m not working, then don?t ever try to make a plan with me.?
On being judged as a peril of fame: ?I stand by every mistake I?ve ever made, so judge away.?
On Drugs: “I’m such a control freak. I’m glad I grew up in this era because I think if I grew up in my parents’ age of drugs and discovery and crazy sh-t, I don’t think I would do drugs well.”
The Snow White sequel: While a Snow White & the Huntsman sequel is far-off, “it’s not where I thrive,” she says. “I really like being thrown into the unknown and then finding my way. I don’t want to show someone something. I want people to watch me find something.”
On doing press to promote her latest projects: ?I have an embarrassing inability, seriously, of summoning fake energy?I?m just not very good on TV, and it?s not my main goal in life to get good at it. People are like, ?She just can?t handle? ? for lack of a better word ? ?the spotlight?. No, actually, I can?t, and that is totally who I am. I love being an actor, but I?m the last person to want to have a birthday party. I don?t try to force it or turn it into something else or fabricate this personality?so I totally agree when people say I?m, like, the most awkward person. If you’re operating from a genuine place, then you can’t really regret anything.?
On her poetry: ?I don?t want to sound so f–king utterly pretentious?but after I write something, I go, ?Holy f–k, that?s crazy.? It?s the same thing with acting: If I do a good scene, I?m always like, ?Whoa, that?s really dope.??
She?s a reader but she wishes she had a college education: “The biggest struggle I’ve ever had has been about not going to school and working instead. I was worried about turning down specific individual experiences. Like each movie was, ‘F–k, I have to do that movie.’ I just did a movie with Tim Blake Nelson [Anesthesia, which recently wrapped], and he is brilliant. If I were as smart as he is, I could have the most killer conversation with anyone because I know I have it in me. I just don’t have the tools necessarily as well-developed as he does. I play this character who is getting her master’s degree in philosophy at Columbia, and I think I’m smart, but I’m definitely not book smart in that way.”
[From Marie Claire]
Eh. What do you want me to say? I can?t really bash the girl for this interview. Does she sound like a pretentious hipster at times? For sure. But that?s her age and her self-aware, self-acknowledged awkwardness. And quite honestly, I?d rather read an enjoyable interview with her where she?s reading poetry to the Marie Claire journalist and answering every question directly than, say, someone who just sits there muttering incoherently. Compared to someone like Shia Labeouf, Kristen comes across as interesting and cool.

Sean Penn sat with Charlize Theron at the nail salon: OK, now they?re a real couple?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_eZEbqFFN_Theron_Penn_VIJ_020714_51324068.jpg) They said it was true love when Sean Penn began spending the night at Charlize Theron?s house. I didn?t believe them. They said it was true love when she attended his Haiti fundraiser and he told the crowd that he gave up 60-plus guns for her. I didn?t believe them. They said it was true love when Sean began spending quality time with Jackson Theron, Charlize?s young son. I didn?t believe them (although I was getting closer). But now I believe it?s love: these are photos of Charlize and Sean exiting a nail salon together. The couple that goes to a nail salon together is a couple in love. I don?t even think Sean got a mani. I think he just sat with Charlize as she got a mani-pedi. THAT is love.
So where are Charlize and Sean on the love scale now though? Earlier this week, Radar claimed that Sean is a Changed Man Now and that he and Charlize will definitely marry:
Even though Charlize Theron and Sean Penn have only been dating a few months, the Academy award-winning actors are already talking about getting married, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
?Sean is head over heels in love with Charlize, and her son Jackson. He is a totally different person around Charlize, she brings out the gentle and fun side that not many people have seen of Sean. To see this previously surly grown man, romping around Charlize?s backyard with Jackson, with a smile on his face would amaze Sean?s detractors. Charlize is getting Sean to not take himself to seriously,? a source close to the couple told Radar.
?The two began talking about marriage in the last few weeks, after Sean moved into Charlize?s house. She has never wanted to get married, but seeing how Sean interacts with Jackson, she is having a change of heart. For the longest time, Charlize thought it was just going to be her and Jackson, and she was ok with that. For her to now be talking about getting married is a huge departure for Charlize.?
The couple have known each other for ?over a decade, and have always been friends, so it shouldn?t be a surprise to anyone that things are getting serious so fast,? the insider added.
It was only three weeks ago that Sean and Charlize made their first public appearance together at a fundraiser for his charity.
Previously, the twosome was spotted together in Hawaii and they were seen out on a movie date in Hollywood. Penn even introduced Theron to his mom, Eileen Ryan Penn, who sat with them.
Sean is ?in a very good place right now. He has been single for awhile after his divorce with Robin Wright. People didn?t realize how hard he took that divorce,? the source added.
?He felt like a really big failure, he never wanted to be divorced. Charlize is truly the light in his life. He is even talking about adopting Jackson if they get married!?
[From Radar]
I genuinely think most of this is just tabloid nonsense. I remember how the tabloids went overboard when Sean was dating Scarlett Johansson too, and there are shades of that hysteria here as well. I guess this is a different situation because Charlize is a bit closer in age, and because she has a small child. It does feel more serious than the ScarJo thing, but still? they?ve basically been together for six weeks, tops. Enough with the marriage talk.

Julianne Hough debuts her new shaggy pixie cut: super-cute or not so much?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_rGWKOFFN_Hough_Julianne_BJJ_020914_51325849.jpg) I have to give Julianne Hough some begrudging credit. After she did blackface for Halloween, she offered a heartfelt apology and then she did what so few celebrities manage to do successfully: she went away. No more daily pap strolls, no more walking every red carpet she could find. She went away for several months, allowing most people to forget about the controversy, and then she began making the occasional appearance ? some workout pics here or there, a Grammy party last month.
And now she?s changed up her look! Just a few weeks ago, Julianne?s blonde hair was past her shoulders. But she debuted a new pixie cut this weekend. I kind of like it? I?m not one of those women who gets super-jazzed about pixie cuts in general ? I think it?s a strong look and you need a certain kind of face and attitude to pull it off. Think Charlize Theron rather than Michelle Williams. Does Julianne have the kind of face that can pull off a pixie? Hm.
I will give her credit for not going TOO short. She left the top part a good length, and it?s going to be less awkward for her to grow it out if and when she chooses to try something else. So? I kind of like it. Some people believe that every young woman should try a radical pixie cut at least once. I?m not one of those people, but I do think she?s at the right age to experiment with her look like this. Just as long as she?s not doing blackface again, I?m fine with this.

Stephanie Seymour poses for Bazaar with her sons clinging to her legs: creepy?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_OiHRaseymour.jpg) Back in 2011, Stephanie Seymour was on vacation in St. Bart?s with her two sons. The paparazzi got some strange photos of Stephanie frolicking in the surf with those sons and a lot of people were like, ?Ew, inappropriate.? There were several photos where it looked like Stephanie and her son Peter Brant Junior (then 17) were kissing on the lips as he grabbed her boob. Junior?s explanation for the photos made it worse: his explanation was that he?s gay and he and his mom have a special relationship. The hell?
So, long story short, Stephanie and her sons have decided to revive this controversy in the pages of Harper?s Bazaar. Pantsless Stephanie posed for Bazaar with her sons clinging provocatively to her legs, because OF COURSE.
Oh, mama! Those aren?t any random male models clinging to Stephanie Seymour?s leg ? those are her sons. The 45-year-old supermodel posed for Harper?s Bazaar wearing sexy lingerie, and had her boys ? Peter Brant II, 20, and Harry, 17 ? pose with her.
The provocative spread comes three years after she was photographed in a tiny bikini on a St. Bart?s beach, frolicking and kissing Peter, who said people were ?gross? for insinuating he had an inappropriate relationship with his mom.
?They are fearless kids. They grew up surrounded by art,? a family friend told me. ?They decided to combat silliness with silliness.?
Harper?s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey said, ?It?s a coup to have captured Stephanie Seymour?s first photo session with her sons. They are a family that puts the fun into fashion.?
The boys grew up in Greenwich, Conn., with a life-size nude bust of their mother on the wall ? a work by Maurizio Cattelan, who was inspired by the taxidermied hunting trophies of their father, polo-playing art collector Peter Brant.
When the beach photos caused a stir three years ago, Peter II ? who describes himself on Facebook as ?a designer, art collector, socialite and model? ? stated: ?My mother and I are very close as she is with all her children .?.?. We have nothing to hide and with that in mind I would like to say that I am openly gay .?.?. and yes, our relationship may be different because of my sexuality.?
Seymour, who was once engaged to Guns N? Roses rocker Axl Rose, is a marvel of motherhood, with two other kids as well. She?s looking good. She can?t help being hot.
[From Page Six]
So, is this inappropriate? Well? I guess?? I actually think Stephanie is probably a very tolerant, loving and adoring mother. She?s obviously very close to her sons and they seem to worship her. So, I think their relationship is solid. But they could try to be a little bit more thoughtful about how they appear to everyone outside their little world.

![Simon Cowell announces 'return to the UK' as 'The X-Factor' USA gets cancelled Simon Cowell announces 'return to the UK' as 'The X-Factor' USA gets cancelled](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_AaRXgFFN_Cowell_Simon_FLYUK_020814_51324363.jpg) Here are some photos of Simon Cowell on Friday in England. Why does he look so happy? That?s what I was asking myself. On Friday, Fox finally cancelled The X-Factor? well, the American version. The UK?s X-Factor is still going strong and I believe it?s one of the biggest hit shows in the UK. But Americans didn?t care for our version of it, which also starred Simon Cowell (he executive produced and created it as well). Simon and Fox threw crazy money at the American version, trying to get it to work, trying to buy their way into an audience, but the ratings kept falling.
The X Factor has been crossed off Fox?s schedule. The network is canceling the singing-competition series after three seasons of declining ratings. The news comes the same day judge and executive producer Simon Cowell announced he would return to the UK version of the show.
Cowell, Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly and FremantleMedia North America president of entertainment Trish Kinane released statements pinning the decision on Cowell deciding to return to the UK series. But Fox had an option to renew X Factor and debated for months whether to bring it back. For a while, Fox considered renewing the series for a fourth round with fewer hours per week, mirroring a production-tightening move that ABC?s Dancing with the Stars made this fall. The recent season of Factor averaged 7.1 million viewers and a mere 2.3 rating among adults 18-49 on Wednesday nights, including seven days of DVR playback.
?I?ve had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on The X Factor and American Idol,? said Cowell in a statement. ?And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public (most of the time!). Last year, for a number of reasons, I had to make a decision to return to the U.K. version of The X Factor in 2014. So for now, I?m back to the U.K. and I want to thank Fox for being an incredible partner and I also want to thank everybody who has supported my shows. America, I?ll see you soon!?
Reilly added: ?To all of us at Fox, Simon is more than one of the most prolific TV personalities of our time ?he?s part of our family. A consummate showman and partner, there?s no one more passionate or creative than Simon, and we feel so fortunate to have enjoyed such a wonderful, collaborative relationship with him over the past 12 years. Unfortunately, there is no X Factor without Simon Cowell, but we understand and support his decision to focus on the international formats and on the next phase of his personal life. We wish him the very best, and it?s our sincere hope that we work together again soon.?
From the start, X Factor struggled to make a positive impression on U.S. viewers compared to overseas editions. It came across as more cartoonish and manipulative than Idol, with a revolving door of celebrity judges that never seemed to truly connect with both each other and viewers. The show particularly suffered by comparison to NBC?s rival start-up hit The Voice, which started airing a fall edition last season and charmed viewers with its warmly engaging panel of ?coaches.? Factor was also blamed by some observers ? fair or not ? for hastening Idol?s ratings decline, since it added to the glut of singing competition shows.
[From Entertainment Weekly]
My interpretation ? and I?m saying this as someone who doesn?t enjoy singing competitions ? is that the audience never showed up for The X-Factor because the personalities weren?t strong enough. I mean, Britney Spears was a big name and all, but she was robotic and not very comfortable with the format. Demi Lovato? Blah. The audience needed powerful personalities that they could either get behind or flat-out hate.
Also: so Simon is now spending most of his time in London? That?s what it sounds like, right? What about Lauren Silverman and her plans to live with Simon full-time and all of that? I think Simon bought her an apartment in NYC and now she?ll be his New York lady. But he has London ladies and LA ladies, and on and on.
Anyway, I keep forgetting that this is prime TV-show-cancelling season. I hope Fox doesn?t cut The Mindy Project. Please, DO NOT.

![George Clooney thinks British museums should return Greek antiquities to Greece George Clooney thinks British museums should return Greek antiquities to Greece](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_bQaLewenn21065507.jpg) George Clooney and The Monuments Men sausage party made their way to Berlin this weekend. They promote the film at the Berlinale Film Festival, with Cate Blanchett still withdrawing from all of her promotional duties for the film (official story: she?s grieving for her friend Philip Seymour Hoffman). So, Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, Bill Murray and John Goodman joined Clooney in Berlin, and it looks like they were having a really good time. Clooney always has a good time, even when the film isn?t getting the best reviews.
Clooney has had some stuff to say over the past few days, so let?s do some highlights. First up, remember how Clooney shaded Leonardo DiCaprio and the P-ssy Posse in his Esquire interview a few months ago? Well, Clooney was asked about Leo recently and he said: “Somebody made it like there was a big fight. I’ve known Leo a long time and somebody just made that a fight.” For the record, George did shade Leo and his crew. It?s not like we made it up. He told Esquire: ?The discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what’s what. I’m not sure if Leo has someone like that.” That?s shade. Clooney is saying that Leo surrounds himself with Yes Men.
Second story? at the Berlinale, George was asked by a Greek reporter if he thought the UK should return Greek artifacts/antiquities held in the various British museums. Clooney said in part that Greece has a ?very good case? for demanding the artifacts back and ?It wouldn?t be a bad thing if they were returned? I think that is a good idea. I think that would be a very fair and very nice thing. Yeah, I think it is the right thing to do.?
And finally, here?s the Jimmy Kimmel bit everyone is talking about. It?s Kimmel?s latest ?Celebrities read mean tweets? feature, and Clooney and the rest of the Monuments Men people are in there. Benedict Cumberbatch is in there too!

![Is it bad form for Gwen Stefani to have a baby shower for her third kid? Is it bad form for Gwen Stefani to have a baby shower for her third kid?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_nhpdWFFN_Paltrow_Gwyneth_TrickyD_020814_51324602.jpg) Here are some photos from Gwen Stefani?s baby shower over the weekend. Gwen did not do the shower at her house, nor did she make one of her friends host it at their house ? all of these photos are from outside the Hotel Bel-Air, where it seems like a professional event planner did the baby shower. I?m also including a couple of shots from Gwen?s Instagram, and I?m rather enchanted with the blue-icing donuts. Mmm? donuts. I could eat that whole tray of donuts right now. Everything had a blue theme because Gwen is expecting her THIRD son. So much blue.
According to People Magazine, the baby shower was held in ?the Wolfgang Puck dining room? of the Hotel Bel Air, and event planner Mindy Weiss organized the event. Guests included: Gwenyth Paltrow, Nicole Richie, Chelsea Handler, Rachel Zoe and Jessica Alba. Alba gets invited to all of the baby showers these days, I guess because of The Honest Company, her line of organic baby accoutrements. Everybody wants free baby crap from The Honest Company.
Honestly, I don?t begrudge Gwen a baby shower, especially since it seemed like she just got some friends to go to a hotel and they had a nice party with donuts and candy. But is it bad form? I?ve asked this before from the motherhood etiquette brigade: is it bad form to have a baby shower for your third kid? Is it bad form to have a baby shower when you?re rich enough to buy your own baby crap? If it was just a ?I?m having a baby!? party, I?d say that was fine. But this is a legit baby shower, and everyone brought gifts and only ladies were invited. Hm.

![Gwyneth Paltrow isn't naturally thin, she's just 'dedicated?, says Tracy Anderson Gwyneth Paltrow isn't naturally thin, she's just 'dedicated?, says Tracy Anderson](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_dXqEBFFN_Paltrow_Gwyneth_STOI_exc_020714_51323723.jpg) Here are some assorted photos of Gwyneth Paltrow over the weekend. The outfit involving the oversized white slacks and black blazer are from Gwen Stefani?s baby shower. The outfit with the workout leggings and puffy vest is from her morning training session at Tracy Anderson?s gym on Friday. I have to say? Gwyneth in those tiny little pants? wow, she?s really small. I mean, I knew she was slender and everything but good lord, she?s TINY. I still don?t want to do the Tracy Anderson Method though. I don?t care how slender Goop is. Speaking of Tracy, she gave an interview to E! News and it?s a study in passive-aggressively shading your ?friends,? clients and business partner. This is just too good:
On Gwyneth’s Fitness Secret: “Well, she is just so dedicated, and what’s great with her is that she’s so consistent, focused and she actually puts the work in,” says Tracy. “There is not a trick, and everyone is just not genetically blessed.”
Celebs Have it Easier? That’s a Major Myth: “Gwyneth had some problem areas when I first met her, and now she is in great shape,” reveals Tracy. “Some people look at celebrities and they think ‘oh, they have it better than me,’ and it’s just not true! Some celebrities are doing some unhealthy things. But someone like Gwyneth, I like to celebrate because she is really just a good example,” says Tracy.
On Gwyneth’s 6-Day Workout Regime: Gwyneth’s program that Tracy designed for her doesn’t exactly sound like a cakewalk. It takes real work, but clearly has paid off! “For eight years I have designed a new program for her every ten days, and she does it six days a week,” says Tracy. “It’s not two hours, it’s more like an hour and fifteen minutes.”
She’s Proud of Victoria Beckham: “I am really proud of my clients like Victoria, because she is a consistent, hard hard-working mother and she really works at her body,” says Tracy. “David and Victoria are an amazing, lovely, beautiful family. So many celebrities I am not impressed with, and Victoria was one that I been consistently impressed with.”
On Her Cameron Diaz Connection: “I am a good friend of hers. We actually had the same ghostwriter that pieced my book together and also pieced hers. She’s done my workouts on and off throughout the years,” says Tracy.
On the Whole Working Mom Balancing Act: Tracy just had her second child, and so she can totally relate to working moms in Hollywood, or working moms anywhere, for that matter. “It’s just about women supporting women, and I have carved out programs that mothers can do when at home or with their kids,” explains Tracy. “It’s vital to show up for yourself as a mother, and even a working mother. It’s just not easy for any of us, so it’s about supporting each other. It is doable.”
[From E! News]
I mean? passive-aggressive much? Wow. First of all, I cannot believe that Tracy actually called out Cameron Diaz for having a ghostwriter. That is mind-blowing. Second of all, Tracy is ?proud? of Victoria Beckham, y?all. And Tracy has such high standards, right? What with being a noted fraudster and all, it means so much when she?s ?impressed? with someone. As for the Gwyneth stuff? do you think Gwyneth ever gets mad at Tracy for talking about how hard Goop has to work to maintain her thinness. I feel like Tracy is just saying, on an endless loop: ?You are not naturally thin, you are not naturally thin.?
Getting back to Goop, you can read this week?s Goopletter here. She basically lists a bunch of hotels we should stay in for the long ?rando? three-day weekend with President?s Day coming up. She also writes: ?And while we are on the subject (and not in a political way), Mr. President, you are kind of dreamy.? Ugh. Dear Gwyneth: President Obama is not interested in your juice cleanses.

![Britney Spears goes brunette to promote her latest perfume: cute or mousy? Britney Spears goes brunette to promote her latest perfume: cute or mousy?](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_mIWeeBritneyBrownHair.jpg) Britney Spears went from her trademark golden blonde hair to a warm brown. She Instagrammed the photo above where she’s holding a bottle of her latest perfume, Naughty & Nice, and sporting newly-dyed hair. I like this color on Britney much, much better than the brassy blonde she had at the People’s Choice Awards just a month ago. Here’s a look back at that color, which looked like her colorist tried to match the shade to a new cheap wig he wanted her to wear. That’s some Barbie hair.
See what I mean? That was kind of fug, especially from the back. It’s hard to tell from this Instagram photo but I think this color looks more natural. It’s obvious that only the crown of her head is real hair, but that goes with the territory for Britney.
This isn’t the first time Britney has gone brunette. Back in 2008, when Britney was hanging out with questionable characters Sam Lutfi and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib (whom she eventually got separate restraining orders against) she had brown hair too. (People Magazine chronicles Britney’s hair history if you’re interested.) Britney’s hair back then definitely wasn’t as cute as it is now. Here are some throwback pictures, and I swear I didn’t pick the worst ones! These are the worst ones.

![Stephanie Seymour Posed in Lingerie With Her Sons Stephanie Seymour Posed in Lingerie With Her Sons](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20140210/20140210_EPOnrstephanie-seymour-harpers-bazaar-02-346x520.jpg) Stephanie Seymour and her sons are close as evidenced by photos like these and these. So it should come as no surprise that she and her two sons, 20-year-old Peter Brant Jr. and 17-year-old Harry Brant, did a mother-son fashion editorial in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Seymour tells Harper’s that her kids were into fashion at a young age and they would always want her to slut up whenever she went out.
“When they were little, they would lay out outfits for me,” recalls Seymour, 45. Their favorite thing to do was dress her up for parent-teacher conferences. “I’d wake up at 7:30 A.M. and they would have laid out a 1955 vintage Dior couture gown and all the accessories too. They liked things to be monochromatic: The dress would be blue and the bag would be blue, and blue Manolo Blahnik shoes. Always a Manolo, and never a flat.” But would she wear it? “Are you crazy?” Turns out the supermodel mama got enough attention as it was at PTA meetings and has a special conservative wardrobe just for school trips.
And if they were good little boys, she’d let them clean her jewelry. She had that mother thing down to an art.
“Peter knows every piece of jewelry I own,” she adds.”As a child, if he was being a good boy in school and behaving, as a special treat I would open my safe and he could go through all my jewelry and clean it. But I’d sit there with him because I knew if I didn’t, it would all be gone!”
Here she is posing in lingerie with her sons. In one of them, they’re lacing her up. In others, their crotches are precariously close to her ass. If I had to do a photo shoot with my mom and the photographer told me to pose like this, I’d jump out of a window.
