As we discussed earlier this week, Heather Mills spat out some words about her ex-husband Paul McCartney during an interview on an Irish chat show. Heather had nothing but shade and crazy, claiming that Paul was just “a normal guy that happened to write a few cool songs in the 60?s and a few in 70?s.” She also claimed that the kids have no idea who Paul is and that’s why he has to work with people like Kanye West and Rihanna, to have any kind of musical relevancy. As I said, she’s a massive pill.

So it was with great pleasure that I read blowhard Piers Morgan’s Daily Mail column, which was all about Heather and how he’s known her for a long time. He was also a guest on the same Irish chat show AND he claims he was the one to introduce her to Paul McCartney back in the day. The whole piece is an easy, bitchy read – go here to read the whole thing. My favorite parts:

Introducing Heather to Paul: “I introduced Heather to Paul at a charity event in 1999. It was a moment that his daughter Stella later thanked me for with the immortal words: ‘Dad’s really grateful, you cost him $50 million.’

Their divorce: “After their bitter divorce battle, in which Heather tried to single-handedly destroy Paul’s reputation, I issued a public apology to the singer, declaring: ‘I’m sorry Macca for ever introducing you to this little monster.’ She rang me the next day, screaming abuse down the phone. ‘Why the f*** are you doing this to me?!!!’…After more foul-mouthed invective, she suddenly paused, lowered her voice and sneered: ‘I know why you’re doing this… Because you’re a Paul fan.’

His assessment of Heather in general: “She’s a total fantasist. An inveterate liar for whom the truth never gets in the way of a self-aggrandising yarn. Don’t take my word for it, take the words of the judge in her divorce whose damning conclusions were effectively that she’s a greedy, ghastly creature prone to ‘make-belief’. He also said there was no actual evidence to support her much-vaunted claim to donate most of her earnings to charity. I believe Heather married Paul McCartney for his fame, money and to further her own career. The same Paul McCartney she now so gleefully trashes.”

Piers goes on to say that he briefly met Paul’s third wife, “a delightful American lady called Nancy Shevell” and that Nancy is utterly lovely and never even name-checks her husband for special service. Obviously, Piers Morgan is an utter starf—ker and snob, but on Heather Mills, I’ll take his word for it. I think he’s probably dead-on about her.

Get ready, because this is guaranteed to make you laugh!

Teen Mom 2 star, Jenelle Evans, 23, took to Instagram, because her son, Jace, wanted to share a special message with everyone about zombies. He notifies us all that zombies are bad, and that he plans on spanking their butts! Jenelle captioned the hilarious video:

“Jace had a message for everyone about zombies.”

So, who’s going to help Jace out by spanking some zombie?

My general rule of thumb on political stories is to only cover them if there’s some kind of celebrity or juicy-gossip angle. This story has a celebrity angle, in some really amazing ways. This isn’t even the first time I’ve written about Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Illinois) – last year, Rep. Schock was “outed” online after he seemed to be living his life one way (allegedly he’s gay) while supporting fervently anti-LGBT legislation. Anyway, Rep. Schock resigned in disgrace yesterday from the House of Representatives. Rep. Schock has been mired in some pretty amazing controversy for several months, and it kept getting progressively worse for the young congressman with each passing day. Schock was supposed to be one the bright future leaders for the GOP – he’s handsome, adept at social media, friendly and not a rage monster. Moms could look at him and say “what a nice young man!” Then it all went to hell. Here’s a laundry list of Schock’s transgressions.

*The whole scandal exploded when the Washington Post published photos and a story about Rep. Schock’s crazy Downton Abbey-themed Congressional office. Go here to see the photos of his office. When I say “Downton Abbey-themed” I mean red walls, black candles, gilded sconces, crystal chandeliers and pheasant feathers.

*It wasn’t just that Schock made the questionable choice to decorate his DC office like a Downton Abbey set – taxpayers initially paid thousands of dollars for the decorations. Schock had to reimburse the government for $40,000 (for pheasant feathers and gilded sconces).

*Schock got thousands of dollars in fraudulent reimbursement for mileage (on his car). That’s thousands of dollars defrauded from the taxpayers.

*He used public funds to charter private planes so he could watch the Chicago Bears play.

*He spent thousands of dollars on other questionable “business trips.” The money came from public funds AND campaign funds. And he liked to charter private planes for every trip.

*He spent campaign money on massages. And taking his congressional interns to see a Katy Perry concert.

When he announced his resignation he said: “Today, I am announcing my resignation as a Member of the United States House of Representatives effective March 31. I do this with a heavy heart. Serving the people of the 18th District is the highest and greatest honor I have had in my life. The constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself. I have always sought to do what’s best for my constituents and I thank them for the opportunity to serve.”

It’s widely believed that Schock is only resigning now so he won’t have to face a long and embarrassing investigation by the House Ethics Committee. The committee doesn’t have the jurisdiction on ex-House members. But I’m guessing that some federal prosecutor of even a local Illinois prosecutor is taking a hard look at all of this.

Back in October of last year, we heard that Jude Law was expecting his FIFTH child by a third baby-mama. Jude has three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost, plus a daughter, Sophia, with his one-time hookup Samantha Burke. And now the third baby-mama has given birth. This lady is Catherine Harding (stage name: Cat Cavelli) and she’s only 23 or 24 years old. They had a daughter, name unknown.

Jude Law is a father again. The actor and his ex Catherine Harding have welcomed a baby girl, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter,” Law’s rep said in a statement Tuesday. “Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected.”

Law, 42, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost (sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and daughter Iris, 14) and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with model Samantha Burke, confirmed that he was expecting a fifth child (his first with the singer-songwriter) in October.

“Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” the actor’s rep said in a statement at the time.

[From People]

Well… congrats to them. I think this was probably handled better than the Samantha Burke situation, mostly because Burke seemed to think that Jude was going to drop everything to be with her and the baby while all he really wanted was a paternity test. It sounds like Jude and Catherine were legitimately dating for at least a few months. And I guess Jude either hates condoms or he’s just super-fertile and no birth control can hold back his swimmers. Jude’s paychecks must be going entirely to child support at this point. Yikes.

A month ago, Amber Rose angered the Kardashians by saying what a lot of people were thinking about Tyga dating underage Kylie Jenner. Amber did not do so with malicious intent. Power 105.1 asked Amber what she thought of the situation, and she responded accordingly. She didn’t diss Kylie. She simply said, “[Tyga] should be ashamed of himself. For sure. He has a beautiful woman and a baby and left that for a 16-year-old who just turned 17.” Translation? Tyga dumped his baby’s mother, Blac Chyna, for his 17-year-old babysitter.

Khloe Kardashian was the first to strike back. She’s always the first to jump into any argument involving her siblings. She immediately tweeted insults at Amber for her teenage stripping days. Khloe and Amber started slinging the word “wh*re” at each other. It wasn’t pretty.

A few days later, Kanye West stood up for the Kardashians. He insulted Amber, saying he had to shower 30 times before getting with Kim. Amber retaliated by tweeting a Ray J. reference (which was fitting). Amber then tweeted an implication that the Kardashians will spit Kanye out sooner or later. Then she tweeted, “After all these years I never snitched on u and I don’t plan on starting now. We once loved each other so I won’t do u like that.” Just like that, Amber took the high road.

Amber’s been away at various club and carnival events for the past month. She had belated discussion with Entertainment Tonight about Kanye and Khloe:

On Khloe’s slams: “I don’t hate Khloe. I don’t hate her. I could have totally minded my own business when it came to her sister. But, me being a dancer at such a young age, dealing with older men gave me the humility and knowledge to speak on such a subject. [But] I can understand why it came across the wrong way to her. I get it. But, that’s a phone call she could have had with me. [Khloe] didn’t have to tweet 11 times and try to humiliate me when, the only reason why these girls have careers is because their older sister had a little fun on tape. Let’s be realistic. Which I never ever hated on. I’m all for a woman making something out of nothing. You know what I mean? If you can do something and bring your entire family on and make millions of dollars, that’s dope to me. I love that.”

On Kanye’s insults: “We were happy when we were together! And now all of the sudden, I’m getting slut-shamed because we’re not together anymore and it’s not fair.”

On slut shaming: “I deal with it every day. I deal with it via social media. People out on the street. They don’t quite understand why I post what I post and how I speak on social media. I’m sick of it and I’m here for my girls and we’re gonna do the Amber Rose Slut Walk this summer and it’s gonna be awesome.”

[From Entertainment Tonight]

Amber made herself clear. She regrets answering a question about Kylie and Tyga (even though she was correct). She calls out the irony of Khloe insulting a teenage-stripper past when the entire Kardashian family became famous as a result of something equally risqué. Amber drives it home by letting the world know Kanye never had a problem with her past until they weren’t together. That sounds about right when it comes to Yeezus.

Amber’s new hashtag, #AmberRoseSlutWalk, is taking off on Twitter. Amber plans to organize her own version of the SlutWalk, a feminist protest movement against rape culture.

We never talked about Katie Holmes’ visit to the Zac Posen show at NYC fashion week last month. Katie wore a 1940s-style Posen coat & accessorized with an expression like she was hiding a big secret. Maybe that smirk meant something? In fall, 2013, we heard Katie and Jamie Foxx were getting busy and “keeping it quiet.” Since I have a soft spot for Katie and would do very bad things for Jamie, I embraced these rumors. The new couple was said to have hooked up during the 2014 Super Bowl weekend in Miami. Alas, we never saw photo evidence, so the story died out.

Surprise. People claims that Katie and Jamie have been furtively hitting it all along. It sounds like they’re friends with benefits:

There have long been rumors that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are linked romantically … so are they actually an item?

In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, multiple sources confirm the pair have been spending time together for well over a year — but it’s nothing serious.

“This is not some intense romance,” a source with knowledge of the situation tells PEOPLE. “Jamie and Katie are friends and have been for a long time. They are two adults who are attractive and single, and so apparently conclusions will be drawn.”

Adds the source: “But contrary to those conclusions, they’re not about to run off and make some serious commitment.”

The actress, whose new drama Mania Days premiered at SXSW over the weekend, bought an L.A.-area home in August and moved there with daughter Suri, 8.

An insider tells PEOPLE Holmes, 36, has been spotted visiting Foxx, 47, “often” at his nearby home and that “they spend hours together” at a time.

While sources don’t expect Holmes to take things to the next level with Foxx, she’s open to another serious relationship one day.

[From People]

If the story is in People, it’s either true, PR-sanctioned, or both. I find it interesting that People took this long to endorse the covert romance. Katie and Jamie are probably having a fling, right? They don’t have strong feelings for each other but can’t stay away. Or perhaps they still don’t want to anger Tom. Does he still matter?

I’m including photos of Jamie, Katie, and Tom together at a 2006 Vikings vs. Redskins game. Plus some pictures of Katie and Jamie onstage at the 2013 Hamptons event where the good times (supposedly) began. Get it, girl.

Who does Alicia Vikander look like on the April cover of W Magazine? It’s driving me crazy. Some say Lea Michele, but I think it might be more… Natalie Portman? Maybe a little bit of Keira Knightley thrown in there too. The Portman-Knightley comparisons are probably apt – at the tender age of 26, Alicia is going to “arrive” in a big way this year, with six major releases coming out in the next nine months or so. I’m sure she’ll be called “the new Natalie Portman” or something like that. Plus, Alicia is going to get increasing gossip buzz this year because she’s still very much “with” Michael Fassbender. She says as much to W Magazine. You can read the full piece here, and here are some highlights:

Fassbender is her boyfriend: A few months ago, she completed The Light Between Oceans, directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine), in which she and Michael Fassbender play a couple who tend a lighthouse on a remote island off the Western coast of Australia. During the making of the movie, Vikander and Fassbender began dating, and, although she wouldn’t discuss the relationship when we met, she had just returned from a long weekend in San Francisco, where Fassbender was filming Steve Jobs.

Working with Eddie Redmayne on The Danish Girl (Redmayne plays artist Einar Wegener and Alicia plays his wife: “They were both artists. My studio model doesn’t show up one day, so I ask my husband to put on stockings and high heels to replace her. He says no. But my character persists. And then, they kind of enjoy that reverse-gender game together for a while. But it quickly turns serious. The movie is really about the fear of losing someone you love.”

She thinks she’s going to be at the Oscars next year: “Next year, the Oscars will be interesting. If all goes well, I’m going to have three films in contention. I’ve had many years of working a lot without being in the public eye. And that’s been good. But by this time next year, I think things are going to change. I expect to be busy. I’m ready to be a bit more known.”

[From W Magazine]

You know what this reminds me of? Jessica Chastain’s sudden rise out of nowhere about four years ago. Chastain had that kind of year too, where she had like six major film roles and everyone in Hollywood was blown away by her range as an actress. Anyway, I think Alicia is playing everything pretty well. She seems like a self-contained, discreet young woman. It’s a bit bold to openly say that you’re planning on being at next year’s Oscars to support three of your films, but it’s also pretty refreshing, isn’t it? If she was a man saying that, most people wouldn’t bat an eye.

Back in the day, I had such a big crush on Dylan McDermott. It was in the ‘90s, in my defense. Everyone loves Dylan McDermott back then. And Dylan still looks remarkably good for his age (or any age): he’s 53 years old! Dylan and Rob Lowe, man. They’re vampires. They still look pretty much the same as they did 20 years ago. Anyway, Dylan met Maggie Q while they were working on CBS’s Stalker. As far as I know, they were both single and ready to mingle, and that’s exactly what happened. They mingled all the way into an engagement! Maggie – who is 35 years old – confirmed the engagement news yesterday.

To be fair, the engagement story has been around for a few months. Apparently, this whole thing was a “whirlwind” romance. They started dating last October and he proposed within a few months. The first engagement reports came out in January and on Monday night, Maggie and Dylan walked the Insurgent carpet while she flashed her ring.

In red carpet interviews and on The View yesterday, Maggie confirmed some other stuff about their romance – she said that her dog has “accepted” Dylan into their lives too. She said she wanted an Art Deco engagement ring and that’s what she got. She told E! that: “I wanted art deco, and I got it. You know, I think we always have to be involved [in ring shopping] in some way—his idea was the marriage and my idea was the style of the ring.” She said they haven’t set a wedding date yet.

So, what do you think? Is this couple a snooze? Or would you like to hear more about them? I guess it’s somewhat notable that he’s 18 years older than her, but it doesn’t seem too crazy considering she’s well into her 30s and she knows what she’s getting into. This coupling reminds me a bit of Tim Daly and Tea Leoni – they’re old enough to know what they’re doing, no one got homewrecked, and everything seems fine and non-scandalous.

Eddie Redmayne covers the new issue of British GQ Style. This is his first big media appearance since winning the Best Actor Oscar in February. Although… I’m not quite sure if this shoot and interview was conducted post-Oscar. In any case, it’s nice to see him. Eddie’s been pretty quiet since winning the Oscar, which I also enjoy. He’s not in our faces, he just flew back to England quickly and went back to work. He’s currently filming The Danish Girl, which already sounds like yet another potential awards-contender. Eddie is playing Einar Wegener, the artist who became one of the first people in the world to undergo sex assignment surgery. Einar became Lili Elbe. The producers already released a photo of Eddie as Lili (I’m including the pic at the end of the post) and she looks SO much like Jessica Chastain. Here are some highlights from GQ UK:

On noticing a shift in his fame: “In London, the shift was just going on the underground and people pretending to be texting but then taking photos. But it’s never been extreme.”

Telling Lili Elbe’s story: “I was actually offered The Danish Girl before Hawking. People go, ‘Oh, are you doing this transformative thing?’ It’s not a concerted choice. I think it will be a unique experience. If your dream is to tell stories, interesting stories, play interesting people. That’s the bottom line. I have been incredibly lucky to portray Stephen Hawking and Lili. They are both extraordinary people and as an actor it doesn’t get better than that.”

On discussing the role with trans director Lana Wachowski: “There is so much I need to investigate… It’s a very famous story within the trans community. I spoke to Lana early on when I was thinking about doing it.”

[From E! News, GQ UK]

Doesn’t it sound like this could be an awards contender? And it sounds like they’re going to be telling the story seriously, not in a half-assed, drag-comedy way. This is a prestige film already – in addition to newly minted Oscar winner Eddie, the film is being directed by Tom Hooper, who won an Oscar for The King’s Speech. You know who else is in it? Ben Whishaw!!!! He’s my baby, I love him. Alicia Vikander plays Wegener’s wife. And Amber Heard is in it too. Hm.

Jennifer Garner is currently promoting Danny Collins. It’s about Al Pacino. He’s a songwriter but he writes sh-t songs and then Christopher Plummer, his manager (?), shows him a letter that John Lennon intended for him and I guess he’s rethinking his entire career. Then he goes …
