Where have I been that I didn’t know Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman would be working together? The film is The Secret In Their Eyes. It was originally supposed to be Gwyneth Paltrow but, for whatever reason, Nicole has replaced her.

By the way, and she would want you to know …

Timothy Olyphantastic spoke with Bon Appetit to promote the last season of Justified. This is an unusual approach. I’ve been looking forward to talk show apperances. Maybe Tim’s saving himself for later, which is just as well. The show has become a hate watch for me (ever since the Drew Thompson mystery). People are raving about the new “Choo Choo” character, but it’s not that funny. I turn into the biggest bitch when this show comes on because it used to be stellar. I still dig Olyphant though. If the show only showed him standing around in jeans and bantering with Walton Goggins, I’d be so much happier.

Anyway. This interview is hilarious and may give you the munchies. Bon Appetit published a photo of Tim praying over some fried chicken. He talks all about his favorite peanut M&M’s, honey-topped ice cream, and how it’s a sin to Instagram at the table. Here are Tim’s thoughts on coffee, rice cookers, fresh pepper, and overpriced omelets:

His morning routine: “Coffee/espresso/cappuccino is a big part of it. I enjoy it, and if I don’t hand my wife ?a coffee by a certain point, I won’t live to ?see the rest of the day, so it’s important in ?that respect. I’m the barista at the house. I’ve taken a ?milk-art class; I can put a heart on top of the cappuccino. I’m very proud of that.”

His big cooking tip: “A rice cooker has changed my life. The overnight-oatmeal deal is a big win at the Olyphant house. That’s been a big part of the pleasure of the morning — coming downstairs after the oatmeal’s been slow-cooking all night, with bananas and whatever else you want thrown in. For all you oatmeal lovers out there, it’s the greatest thing in the world. [Instant oatmeal] is no way to live your life, young man.”

Is he a manly eater? “I like to think that I eat like man and cry like a little baby. There’s a quiche joke in here somewhere.”

Shh, don’t tell: “I’ll admit a little something: If I go to one of those hotels where there’s like a $50 omelet, I’m taking the silverware home with me. I’m not saying it’s right. I just feel like it’s an unspoken agreement where the mug and the silverware are just part of the deal.”

Pepper & Parmesan: “If you’re at a restaurant and someone asks, ‘Fresh pepper?,’ the answer is yes. When people shake off the fresh pepper, they clearly have no interest in living a full life. Same thing goes for grated Parmesan. Why would you turn that down?”

There’s more stuff too. He talks about whiskey and how his three kids get frustrated that Dad eats all the ice cream. Make no mistake, Timothy Olyphant loves food. He eats everything, all the time. It’s hard to believe how he stays so thin, and his foodie habits haven’t caught up with him by age 46. But he was a competitive swimmer in college, and he plays tennis now. I’m including some photos of him at a celebrity tennis tournament last year. That headband.

Remember when Ryan Gosling made a movie and took it to Cannes and everyone hated it? Well, that movie, Lost River, is coming out this April and it has a trailer, and it is some straight up art school sh*t. This trailer has everything—Malickian voice over shots of people walking in nature, L…      

FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson have been together since late summer/early fall 2014. They seemed to go from “casually dating” to “very serious” very quickly. I’m pretty sure that when they’re in LA, she lives with him at his place. And maybe when they’re in London, they stay at her place? Perhaps. Mostly, they’re on the road together. He was following her around as she toured, and then they would take little mini-breaks together in Paris and Miami and Toronto, wherever. I’ve always liked them as a couple – she makes Rob seem cooler and together, they’re easily one of my favorite new couples. But what if there’s trouble in paradise? What if… there’s some money problem?

In the hugely popular Twilight series, Robert Pattinson’s character is a blood-sucking vampire, but in real life, friends close to the 28-year-old hunk reveal to RadarOnline.com exclusively that his girlfriend, FKA Twigs, who recently revealed that she was ‘in love’ with Pattinson, could be sucking him dry – of money that is!

“Robert and FKA twigs are living like A-listers on a C-listers salary,” a close friend of Pattinson says. “He has always lived large and spends money like there is no end, but the truth of the matter is that his fortune is shrinking because he is no longer a franchise star.”

OK! Magazine reported that Pattinson is running low on funds because “his spending habits are the same as when he was earning big bucks, so there’s a real shortfall.”

However, the insider tells Radar that his girlfriend, FKA Twigs, 27, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett may also be to blame.

“Rob is not working right now because he is so focused on her. He insists on paying for everything because that is the kind of guy that Rob is,” the source says.

According to the insider, “FKA is not a dumb girl and she knows how to work men and has even been called a gold-digger by people who know her. Although they both spoil each other, but she has pennies compared to the kind of money he has.”

[From Radar]

First of all, is Rob running out of money? I doubt it. He tucked away a significant chunk of change during the Twilight years. Granted, I doubt he has a lot of money coming in these days, because he’s been doing so many indie films, although I’m sure the Dior campaign pays handsomely and supplements his indie-film habit. Now, that being said, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that he’s bad with money. But it’s not like he’s blowing his money on expensive real estate or anything – he’s spending it on clothes and hotels and going out to eat. Which is no big deal when he’s got millions of dollars.

As for the FKA Twigs thing… I just don’t see that for her. Yes, I think he probably spoils her and yes, I bet he is the kind of guy who wants to pay for everything. But that just makes him a good boyfriend! That doesn’t make her a golddigger. Everything that I’ve seen indicates that Twigs genuinely loves Sparkles. Twigs + Sparkles 4 Eva.

St. Vincent actress Naomi Watts was photographed with her sons – Sasha, 7, and Kai, 6 – in Los Angeles, Calif. on Tuesday (February 3).

The Birdman star, 46, was first seen dropping off, then picking up the boys from karate class.

The boys’ father is Watt’s longtime love, fellow actor Liev Schreiber.

Watts is currently filming Demolition with Jake Gyllenhaal. Meanwhile, Schreiber, 47, continues to play the lead role in the Showtime series Ray Donovan.

Next up, Watts will star in Shut In, a psychological thriller which tells the story of a woman trying to raise her catatonic son on her own, only to suddenly discover a shocking secret about him.

Yesterday we reported that Radar Online scored an exclusive interview with Bruce Jenner’s mom, Esther, who confirmed that her son was transitioning. Despite the fact that Esther had only recently learned the news from Bruce, she was absolutely accepting and she gushed about what a great man her son is, and how accomplished he is. It was a joy to read and I’m getting teary now just thinking about it.

Today Radar released part two of their interview with Esther Jenner, and the amount of love, admiration and understanding she shows is incredible. She says she’s going to educate herself about transitioning too. Here are some quotes from Esther that were just released today:

I knew he was special from the time he was a little boy… I was so proud of him from all the way back in high school when he raced for the New England track and field. There was a coach in Wilton, Connecticut, who said ‘’You know what I see in Brucie? I see a decathlete.’

And of course, I didn’t know what a decathlon was. I knew it had to do with track and field. And that went on for eight years after high school and he always reached his goals.

Right now, I am more proud of him for what he’s allowing himself to do…

I have known for a short time [about his transition]… I have got to really educate myself.

I just love him like I always have. … I support him whole-heartedly.

This lady just loves chatting about her son, it’s so nice to read. Meanwhile, as you can see above, Bruce scored the cover of People Magazine! According to People (which contradicts Radar’s reports that Kris isn’t totally on board with Bruce going public), Kris and the Jenner-Kardashian kids and spouses are all accepting of Bruce. Scott Disick took more time to come around, but I guess we would expect that from him. Here’s part of People’s report, with more to come in the upcoming print edition:

When Bruce Jenner was finally ready to tell his children that he is transgender, his revelation was met with less surprise than he may have anticipated.

“Bruce told them everything – where things stood, what his plans were for the future, and what everyone could expect,” a family insider tells PEOPLE of Jenner’s decision to transition and live his life as a female. “Everyone basically knew what was up, but it was still a shock to hear it outlined so explicitly.”

But it didn’t take long for Jenner’s six children – and his ex-wife Kris’s kids Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob Kardashian – to rally around the patriarch of reality-TV’s most famous family.

“They all came all around pretty quickly, but each of them had to process it in their own way,” says the insider. “All they want is for him to be happy.”

For Kim, the process included checking in on how her mother was responding to the news.

“Kim went to Kris and asked her how she felt. They had a very long conversation about it,” says the insider. “Once Kim was satisfied that Kris was emotionally okay, she was able to give Bruce her unconditional support.”

As for the men in the Kardashian women’s lives, the insider says Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick “didn’t react very well” at first, but “is now on board” while Kim’s husband Kanye West seemed to embrace Jenner’s transition immediately.

“He is totally fine with it,” the insider says of West. “He believes in live and let live, and he took it all in stride. He and Kim are just trying to show Bruce love and acceptance – complete acceptance.”

I’m glad that Bruce’s transition is getting press like this, and that it’s mostly positive after the mocking tone that some of the tabloids took. I hope that, as Esther said yesterday, her son’s transition will help pave the way for greater understanding and acceptance of trans people. I also hope that Bruce can provide a public face to the trans movement. As an aside, I’ve been watching the excellent Amazon show Transparent, (for which both Jeffrey Tambor and the show won Golden Globes) and Tambor’s character, Maura, transitions late in life just as Bruce is doing. I know Bruce’s journey isn’t the same, and that we can’t understand completely from a TV show, but I think it will go a long way toward helping increase awareness. (Incidentally, the plot for Transparent was inspired by creator Jill Soloway’s father, who came out as transgender.)

Also, I want to say something about pronouns. If Bruce wants to be referred to as she, we will do that. The People article, presumably approved by Bruce’s people, refers to him using the male pronoun. When Bruce expresses a stance on the matter, we will honor that.

Selena Gomez is dating DJ Zedd. Or at least that’s what she wants us (and Justin Bieber) to think. Nothing’s been confirmed but they’re all over each other’s social media and he tweeted this photo the other day of her in studio with him so for all intents and gossip purpos…      

New mom Mila Kunis has been busy promoting her new film Jupiter Ascending, which premiered in Los Angeles on Monday (February 2). The actress, 31, looked lovely in a black bustier Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring a full-skirt, paired with lacy Christian Louboutin stilettos.

When asked about the most surprising aspect of motherhood, Kunis had no hesitation. “How little any of this matters,” she told Us, gesturing to the showbiz glitz around her movie release. “Not to say that this is meaningless. But like truly how little this matters and how much I’d rather be home right now.”

The following night, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kunis dished on leaving her daughter Wyatt Isabelle, whom she welcomed with Ashton Kutcher on Sept. 30.

“It’s really weird to be out,” she shared. “This is my very first time out and about. Swear to God! I left [Wyatt] at home yesterday for the first time during the premiere. It’s frightening. I have to be honest. I was with her every day for the first four months of her little life. I cried. I did. It’s weird. It’s very strange. If anyone’s a mom, and being a stay-at-home mom, it’s a very weird feeling to all of a sudden leave your child.”

She added: “It’s not that I don’t trust who she’s with. It’s just the idea of not being with her.”

When Kimmel joked that she doesn’t trust Kutcher to take care of their daughter, Kunis replied, “I trust him! He’s an incredible father! But the way that I hold the baby and the way that he holds the baby…I mean, he’s like a jungle gym!”

As for losing the baby weight, Kunis said, “Breastfeeding is like working out.” She added, “I am very active. I hike almost every day with her. I strap her in a papoose and away we go.”

Kunis and Kutcher are not using a nanny, but her mother has been helping out.

“I was cloth-diapered,” Kunis shared. “In Russia, 31 years ago, they didn’t have the current-day diapers. Everything was cloth, which means you sanitize them in a hot bucket, you dry them, you iron them, you hang them, you pin them, and that’s how I was raised. When I showed my mom diapers—current diapers, with Velcros and Elmos on them—she was like, ‘I don’t understand what this is. What do I do?’ I was like, ‘Mommy, you lift the baby up, stick it under and Velcro.’ ‘And then just throw in the trash?’ I was like, ‘Away it goes!’ And she was like, ‘Well, if I had this, I would just have seven babies. This is amazing.’ But, literally, it took her the longest time to stop putting it upside down. Like, she would put the Velcro on top and I was like, ‘No, no, no! On the bottom!’ Like, she will cloth-diaper the baby—any baby!—but these Velcro things really got her. Very different. Very, very different.”

And it sounds like her father is fairly excited as well.

“My dad has gone crazy buying her things! Like her very first cell phone and the piano kicker and the Baby Einstein Imaginarium,” Kunis shared. “My house is just filed with noise.”

That said, baby Wyatt “likes rope and string. She doesn’t really care about anything else.”

Kunis went on to talk about Kutcher’s ongoing app developments.

“People bring more baby things to him, and he kind of just runs them by me. Like, there’s these things called Bellabies—I’m not doing an advertisement for anything, by the way!—but you put the little microphone around the belly and you can hear the baby’s heartbeat,” she shared. “I think this is awful because unless you know what you’re doing, you may not hear the baby’s heartbeat and then panic ensues. It’s like WebMD but bad. If your baby’s like 7 months, you’ll hear it anywhere. But if your baby’s a little poppy seed, you really have to dig for it. Like, you gotta find that baby heartbeat,” she said. “And let me tell you, at 3 months I was like, ‘Where is it?!’”

She added: “People run these things by him all the time. Listen, when we started dating—this is an awesome story and this is fact!—Tinder hadn’t really been out yet. And he was like, ‘So, babe, I got this thing that I’ve been thinking about. You need to do me a favor and download this app.’ I was like, ‘No problem.’ I download Tinder, OK? I was like, ‘What is this?’ Like, swiping things left and right. I was like, ‘This is amazing!’ This is stuff that I do at home. He makes me go on all of these websites. Everything!”

Here’s yet another utterly meaningless poll, but it’s always nice to see where the British zeitgeist is with their homegrown Hot Guys. Glamour UK has released a new “Sexiest Men In the World” list, I guess voted on by Fifty Shades devotees, One Direction fan-girls and Sherlock-loonies. I suspect that this wasn’t a straight-up internet poll, or if it was, they didn’t allow fan-girls to vote multiple times, because if they had, Benedict Cumberbatch or Tom Hiddleston would have come out at #1. The Dragonflies and the Florals are very powerful on the internet. Anyway, long story short… Jamie Dornan scored the #1 Sexiest Man (in the world!) position. Bendy was dethroned! He’s only #2. And Hiddles is #3. Via the BBC:

1. Jamie Dornan
2. Benedict Cumberbatch
3. Tom Hiddleston
4. Robert Pattinson
5. Henry Cavill
6. Theo James
7. Harry Styles
8. Jamie Campbell Bower
9. Jared Leto
10. Pharrell Williams
11. Liam Hemsworth
12. Johnny Depp
13. Chris Hemsworth

I think Jamie’s ranking should be split in two: one ranking for clean-shaven Jamie and one ranking for bearded Jamie. Bearded Jamie can get it. Bearded Jamie is HOT. Clean-shaven Jamie barely cracks the top thirty, you know? As for Benedict… he’s had an awful year for “hotness.” Bad clothes, bad haircut, and the Sophie thing really affected his sexiness too. Sigh… at least we still have Hiddles. And Sparkles? I have to say, Sparkles is much cuter to me now that he’s with FKA Twigs. They’re adorable together.

PS… Vanity Fair released part of their Hollywood Portfolio for this year’s Hollywood Issue, and there are some really nice photos. Like, Benedict standing in a forest with a bloodhound (?!), Chiwetel Ejiofor looking dapper as hell on a plane (he’s Top Ten on my list), and Tom Hiddleston and Felicity Jones in a convertible. Nice. Go here to see.
