Blake Shelton proposed to Gwen Stefani last October. I sort of forgot about their engagement, and I forgot that they hadn?t actually gotten married yet. Before the proposal, Gwen seemed to be in a bad mood over the fact that he was so gun-shy about getting married, but now everything is fine. She?s apparently planning a big wedding now that people can travel and people are getting vaccinated. Blake spoke about the wedding plans and why he?s letting Gwen do all of the planning.
Will Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have a country-fried wedding? They will if it is up to Shelton ? which it isnt.
If I was picking our meal, it would just literally be everything fried, he tells USA TODAY. French fries, chicken tenders, you know, all of that stuff. I think she knows that it would be a pretty classless wedding if I was in control.
Shelton is happy to relinquish planning duties to the Hollaback Girl singer, all the way down to his wardrobe.
I never pick my own clothes unless Im doing one of these FaceTime calls with you and I put on a cap and shirt, he said. But she picks my clothes for things like ? something formal with the family. I never even pick my clothes for The Voice. I have a girl that does that for me. So, nobody lets me pick clothes. Thats not a Gwen wedding thing. Thats just in general.
In reality, it means Stefani has more time to enjoy the process ? a fact about which Shelton couldnt be happier. Hes sure shes pretty pleased, too.
I want her to do all of that stuff and handle it because its going to be great, Shelton said. Shes in the middle of planning the thing, and shes always so mindful ? of me. Shes like, Hey, I dont want to just take this thing over. I think shes having a blast doing it. I mean, I know shes having a blast doing it.

On one side, Blake irritates me with his whole ?I?m just a dumb redneck, I don?t know nothing about fancy clothes and weddin? plannin?? shtick. On the other side, I do think it?s kind of nice that he gave Gwen a special gift: planning the wedding to her tastes completely. Plus, I bet Gwen does a lot to make it Blake-specific. As for the thing about how he doesn?t pick out his own clothes I mean, some men don?t care. Some men think they need women to do that for them. I?m kind of with him on the wedding food though. Who says they can?t have chicken tenders and french fries at their wedding? Why in the world would you want to NOT have french fries at your wedding?

Emily Blunt has a new interview in The Sunday Times to promote A Quiet Place: Part II. Unfortunately the interview is behind a paywall. But the big takeaway is that Emily and her husband, John Kransinski, are apparently keeping their fame a secret from their daughters, Hazel, seven and Violet, four. Recently, Hazel came home from school and asked her parents if they were famous. Emily and John were caught off guard because they?ve, ?never said that word in the house.?
During a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Blunt explained why she wants their kids to remain ?oblivious? to her and Krasinski?s fame.
If they can remain oblivious for the longest time Id be thrilled,? she said. ?They dont even want to see what I do. They dont even like it when I put on make-up.?
?They dont like any of it!? Blunt continued. ?They just want me to be their mommy.
Blunt explained that her oldest daughter, Hazel, recently became aware of her stardom when one of the kids at her school told Hazel about it.
Its a strange thing to navigate, you know, Blunt said. [She] came home the other day and we were in the kitchen and she goes, Are you famous??
?And Id never heard her? weve never said that word in our house,? she added. ?We dont talk about it.
Someone at school had clearly said it. I was like, Um ? not really, I dont think I am,? Blunt continued. ?Did someone say that to you, Haze? She said, Yeah, but then she wouldnt divulge much more, you know, but its weird. Its weird.?
Blunt noted that she doesn?t want her daughters to know about her or Krasinski?s fame because she doesn?t want them to feel any more important or special or [feel like] theres a glare on them any more than other kids.

Not being famous myself, I have to infer much here. I guess I can understand not wanting to talk at home about being famous. So if the Krasinski-Blunt home is a fame-free space for the family to act like normal folk, it makes sense why Emily and John want to avoid the topic. I also understand their justification about wanting the kids to avoid ?the glare,? be it negative or one that makes the girls feel superior. But they should probably prepare themselves. I?m surprised it hasn?t come up before now, what with Jack Ryan and Mary Poppins sitting at the dinner table. I get dressing up as characters and being famous are different concepts, but the connection will be drawn pretty quickly at Hazel?s age. I have no idea how I would answer that question if I was famous, but I don?t think I would be flabbergasted by it.
I like Emily a lot, as you know. I?m sure most of this interview is her English humor and self-deprecation coming out. But the interviewer asked Emily if she wanted her daughters to become actors and she said, ?God no ? no! Please God keep them off the stage. I never know how to react when actors respond this way. Do they hate their jobs that much? Are their kids too good for the profession? Have they been chewed up and spat out by the industry enough to want their child to avoid it at all costs? Surely that isn?t the promo they?re going for.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?s divorce proceeding will turn five years old in September. From what we can see of the slow-moving divorce, it has been enormously contentious, mainly around the custody issues of their children. Although I?d be curious to learn if they?ve handled the financial aspects of their divorce, because I think that is still on-going as well. For years now, Brad and Angelina have been employing a private judge, Judge John Ouderkirk, to oversee their divorce proceedings. Last year, Angelina tried to have the judge kicked off the case because her lawyer discovered that Ouderkirk had been doing business with Pitt?s lawyers for years and Ouderkirk had failed to disclose that to the court. Ouderkirk fought the issue and refused to recuse himself from the case. And now that same judge is refusing to allow the Jolie-Pitt children testify in court and Angelina is calling him out, yet again.
Angelina Jolie criticized a judge deciding on custody arrangements for her and Brad Pitt?s children during their divorce, saying in a court filing that the judge refused to allow their kids to testify. Jolie, who has sought to disqualify Judge John Ouderkirk from the divorce case, said in the filing Monday that he declined to hear evidence she says is relevant to the children?s safety and well-being before issuing a tentative ruling. The documents don?t elaborate on what that evidence may be.
?Judge Ouderkirk denied Ms. Jolie a fair trial, improperly excluding her evidence relevant to the children?s health, safety, and welfare, evidence critical to making her case,? according to the filing in California?s Second District Court of Appeal.
The actress also said the judge ?has failed to adequately consider? a section of the California courts code, which says it is detrimental to the best interest of the child if custody is awarded to a person with a history of domestic violence. Her filing did not give details about what it was referring to, but her lawyers submitted a document under seal in March that purportedly offers additional information.
Her new filing says the judge has ?refused to hear the minor teenagers? input as to their experiences, needs, or wishes as to their custody fate,? citing a California code that says a child 14 or over should be allowed to testify if they want to. Three of Jolie and Pitt?s six children are teenagers, 17-year-old Pax, 16-year-old Zahara, and 14-year-old Shiloh. The oldest, Maddox, is 19 and not subject to the custody decision. They also have 12-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox.
In response to Jolie?s filing, Pitt?s attorneys said, ?Ouderkirk has conducted an extensive proceeding over the past six months in a thorough, fair manner and reached a tentative ruling and order after hearing from experts and percipient witnesses.?
Pitt?s filing said the judge found Jolie?s testimony ?lacked credibility in many important areas, and the existing custody order between the parties must be modified, per Mr. Pitt?s request, in the best interests of the children.? It says Jolie?s objections and further delays in reaching an arrangement would ?work grave harm upon the children, who will be further denied permanence and stability.?
It?s not clear what the current custody arrangement is because the court seals most files. When the divorce process began, Jolie sought primary physical custody ? meaning the children would live more than half the time with her ? but changes have been made that have not been made public. Pitt sought joint custody.
Others close to Jolie say her family struggles have prompted her to take a more active role in changing the law?s approach to custody issues. ?Ms. Jolie has been working privately for four and a half years to both heal her family and to fight for improvements to the system to ensure that other families do not experience what hers has endured,? Peter Harvey, an attorney and former attorney general of New Jersey who has been working with Jolie on policy issues, told The Associated Press.
Jolie has sought to disqualify Ouderkirk, a private judge she and Pitt chose to maintain their privacy, arguing that he has an improper business relationship with one of Pitt?s attorneys. She said in Monday?s filing that if the tentative custody decision is made final by Ouderkirk, she will appeal it.

So, Jolie?s filing says that the custody trial/hearing is a failure because Ouderkirk failed to allow the Jolie-Pitt children to testify about how they feel about their parents. Pitt?s response is that Jolie is just generally a liar. Yeah, this is a fking mess and Ouderkirk should have recused himself last year. I?m curious as to what is contained in the sealed documents but I bet it?s horrific. Pitt does not want any of this going public, which is why he?s still ride-or-die for Ouderkirk, who is clearly partial to his main employer, the law firm representing Brad Pitt.
