Marusa! Happy Birthday! This is the 4th anniversary of your birthday shout-out from Petra and Katja and I’m so happy to hear that you are “like, fully LIVING right now”. Have a great time in Greece. And I need to see this hot new haircut. Here are Richard Madden, Benedict Cumber…      

Dear Gossips,

Thor is hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. Have you seen the promos? The star of the promos is Leslie Jones and it’s her first time.

“Whatever, baby, just stay pretty.”

I love her. Please write lots of sketches for them together. I’d rather…      

In her many acceptance speeches this awards season, Patricia Arquette thanked her costar Ethan Hawke nearly every time, including at the SAG Awards, Golden Globes and Oscars. In her Globes speech she even said that “Ethan reminded me of my own father.” You get the impression that those two are close, but according to Star Magazine they may not be best buddies. Star claims they were fighting so much before the Oscars that they had to be sent to a side room to calm down, lest they interrupt the ceremony.

“There has been tension between them for a long time,” says an insider. “Ethan made some snide comments years ago about her family, and Patricia has never gotten over that. Now he can’t stand that she’s getting so much acclaim and he is kind of an afterthought.” Things came to a boiling point at the Oscars, when the two – nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actress – started bickering just before the ceremony started. “He didn’t like that she had a better seat than he did. He thought it was disrespectful,” says the source, who was also an eyewitness. “It got so heated, they were ushered into a small room that was being used for seat fillers. She told him to shut up and get over himself.”

If this really happened these two got over it quick. I re-watched the video of Arquette getting her Oscar and she hugged her boyfriend, artist Eric White, and then she hugged Ethan, just one row behind her and also in an aisle seat. She even kissed Ethan’s wife. This sounds like B.S. to me. I also Twihard proofed this story by rewatching the opening number (you’re welcome) and Arquette and Hawke were there, they’re at about 7:46 into this video. (With the incredible Chiwetel Ejifor one row behind them.) So if this story is true, they recovered quickly enough to make it back before the show started. That said, I can see tempers flaring before a big stress-filled event like this. Many friends and couples get into arguments, it doesn’t mean they can’t stand each other or are jealous or whatever.

Here’s a screenshot of these two during the opening ceremony:

Patricia has a new interview with Time Magazine to promote her role on CSI: Cyber. As she did in her interview with Buzzfeed (which we covered yesterday), she claimed that the comments she made backstage at the Oscars (in which she said “it’s time for all the women in America and all the men that love women, and all the gay people, and all the people of color that we’ve all fought for to fight for us now.”) were misconstrued. She said “I don’t think people really understood what I meant by that. I don’t think they understood what I was talking about, exactly. This is a huge discrimination issue affecting women across America. It affects whole lives — the impact of this.” I don’t think Arquette understands that people weren’t responding to her excellent comments about wage inequality during her speech, they were in large part (except for the hacks at Fox News) responding to her calling out other groups for not supporting women’s issues. She does make good points of course.

On the red carpet these two look close. That doesn’t mean they don’t argue occasionally though.

Also here’s Patricia at The Noble Awards, which honor celebrity philanthropists. Gurl, what are you wearing?!

In a sweet new snapshot, Liv Tyler gave us a glimpse of her 3-week-old son Sailor.

“Im so in love!!!!,” the proud new mom-of-two Instagrammed an image of her newborn’s bare feet.

In a series of adorable photos, The Leftovers actress, 37, shared some cute outfits for her baby boy.

The actress and her boyfriend, sports manager/agent David Gardner, welcomed their son on Feb. 11. “He’s healthy and everyone is very happy,” her rep said at the time, remaining mum on the moniker.

Then on Feb. 20, the newborn’s nautical name was revealed with a photo of Liv’s sweet tot holding a blue stone necklace featuring a diamond encrusted anchor.

The Armageddon star captioned the image: “Sailor Gene Gardner.”

Sailor is the actress’ second son — she welcomed Milo in Dec. 2004 with ex-husband Royston Langdon.

Gardner is also dad to 7-year-old son Gray from his previous marriage.

??Im so in love!!!!??

This story is really great gossip. It comes from Sebastian Shakespeare, one of the Daily Mail’s many insider-y gossip guys. He’s been getting more and more tips about the royal family, and his tips usually end up to be the truth or close to it. Some background for this royal story: in Prince Charles’ recent “unauthorized biography,” there were many claims that Charles is quite disturbed by the way his oldest son, William, conducts his life. Charles worries that William has become too “Middletonized,” that William is too close to the Middletons and that they affect and dictate William’s actions too often. Also backstory: after five months of working for William and Kate at Anmer Hall, two staffers up and quit very suddenly about a month ago. Here’s the new Daily Mail piece:

Following the birth of Prince George, the Prince of Wales described the experience of becoming a first-time grandfather as ‘a unique moment in anyone’s life’. But nearly two years after this very public display of affection, Charles is said to have become increasingly perplexed about the peripheral role he occupies in the young Prince’s life.

At the heart of the heir-to-the-throne’s frustrations is the so-called ‘Middletonisation’ of his son William’s life — specifically the inordinate amount of time he spends with his in-laws Michael and Carole, with whom he recently holidayed in Mustique for Carole’s 60th.

In fact, so vexed is Charles about the so-called ‘March of the Middletons’ that he has complained to friends: ‘They never let me see my grandson.’ Adds a source: ‘Carole has rather taken over, dictating when George naps, when and what he eats. All in all, behaving like she’s Queen Carole.’

It is certainly true there have been few, if any, trips to Charles’s Gloucestershire home Highgrove over the past year. Some think it’s a deliberate move on William’s part to protect his young family from suffering the same stiff, and often unhappy, upbringing he endured. Certainly, Carole, who is the granddaughter of a miner and was brought up in a council house, is not thought to enjoy any particularly strong bonds with Charles’s wife, Camilla.

Most of William and Kate’s time is spent at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, on the Queen’s Sandringham estate, where the Prince has been busy revising for his Air Transport Pilot’s Licence. The Middletons are frequent visitors and play an active role in the household. They stayed there over Christmas, when William pointedly hosted lunch for them on Christmas Day rather than eat with the Queen, as is traditional.

Last month, it emerged that William’s housekeeper and gardener had abruptly quit after just five months at Anmer. The couple, Amy and Colin Wood, have returned to their previous jobs at Sandringham.

‘Staff have complained that Anmer is not run like a proper royal household,’ says my source. ‘It is too middle class.’

Yesterday, when asked when Charles had last seen little George, a Clarence House spokesman unusually issued a statement: ‘We would not comment on the specifics of private arrangements. ‘His Royal Highness enjoys an excellent relationship with his grandson.’

[From The Daily Mail]

I believe this. I believe William and Kate keep George away from William’s side of the family. I believe Carole Middleton spends A LOT of time with her grandson and Charles probably only sees George on major holidays, if that. While I think it’s a fair criticism of the royals to say that a growing child should get to enjoy their childhood without a lot of interference their emotionally stunted royal relations chiming in about every little thing, the fact is that George is going to be king one day (probably, if the monarchy doesn’t fall). George is going to miss out on so much just because William is a sullen man-boy determined to stick it to his father.

As for the household being “too middle-class”… I’m not even sure what that means! I think it means that Carole is ordering the staff around?

It sounds like Zoe Saldana and husband Marco Perego have been enjoying every chaotic minute with their sons Cy and Bowie, 3 months. While making their way to the car outside, the new parents of twins couldn’t help but laugh at their everyday struggles.

“Our days now are filled with #twin action!” the Avatar star, 36, captioned an Instagram image. “Seriously, the 3 of them couldn’t get through the door at the same time. We couldn’t stop laughing. #bliss.”

In the pic, Saldana’s man bun-wearing hubby is seen holding onto matching blue Nuna baby carriers while leaving the house.

In February, the Guardians of the Galaxy actress shared a shot hiking with their twins.

The actress and the Italian artist, 36, welcomed their twins on Nov. 27, 2014, but Saldana announced their birth in early 2015.

Our days now are filled with #twin action! Seriously, the 3 of them couldn’t get through the door at the same time. We couldn’t stop laughing. #bliss —- nuestros días están llenos de acción para #gemelos. Los 3 no cabían por la puerta al mismo tiempo. No parábamos de reírnos. #lavida

Here are even more photos of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Kris Jenner out and about for Paris Fashion Week. These photos are from Kim’s costume change for the Lanvin show. I’m sure Kim is actually wearing Lanvin to the show (that’s customary), but she has a real knack for making high-end couture look like hooker-wear purchased at the Goodwill. This lovely Fisherman’s Ho dress probably cost $4000.

As you can see, she wasn’t wearing a bra. She was spilling out all over the place too. Kanye loved it. He loves when his Kardashian Real Doll looks like a drugged-out p0rn star. He really does love it – he’s being really affectionate with her in many of the Paris photos. It makes me think that he asked her to go blonde. Why is he obsessed with that?

I saw on E! News last night that the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been facing utter pandemonium in Paris. When Kim and Kanye left their hotel yesterday, the crowd was so big and rowdy, it took a full ten minutes for their car to move through the crowd. I also saw some awful footage of Kendall Jenner being swarmed by SO MANY people. What’s up, Paris? Why do you guys love the Kardashian-Jenner-Wests?

I don’t know how much truth there is to this story, but it fits the pattern of Kylie Jenner and Tyga’s relationship thus far. The coupling remains illegal in the eyes of California law, since Kylie is 17 and Tyga is 25. He tried to deny dating Kylie. Kanye West confirmed the relationship, but Yeezus was merely ahead of the game. Tyga silently confirmed it too. Tyga then tried to say it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of him dating an underage girl. Of course.

Radar says Kylie and Tyga are quite serious about each other. Kylie’s been wearing a sparkly new ring on that special finger, and you can see a photo here. Is Kylie actually thinking of marrying this guy? Here’s Radar’s take:

Kylie Jenner brought home a special souvenir from her recent romantic getaway with Tyga — a brand new diamond sparkler on her ring finger!

Now RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the two are determined to make their dreams a reality. “Kylie and Tyga are discussing marriage!” a Keeping Up With the Kardashians source reveals.

“Kylie has asked her sisters what they think of getting married at a young age because it is something that she’d been talking about with him,” the insider tells Radar. “Obviously, her sisters have told her that they support her in whatever she wants to do. They cannot tell her that it is wrong because they were all monogamously coupled at extremely young ages.”

As Radar previously reported, the couple, who are rumored to have started dating when Jenner was only 14 years old, recently went public with their relationship when 25-year-old rapper dropped the L-word when discussing his now 17-year-old partner.

“Those girls do not like to be without a man and if Kylie wants to marry Tyga, so be it,” the source says. “Her sisters are just really happy that she has found true love and he treats her like gold,” continues the insider. “They also really like that she will not be hopping from guy to guy and getting her heart broken like they have all had to experience.”

At the end of the day, “her whole family would much rather see her settle down with someone who loves her rather than be with many men who will only use her for their own gain.”

[From Radar Online]

Well sure. A guy who refers to getting it on as “smashing” obviously treats a lady like gold, right? I wouldn’t be surprised if Kylie’s sisters approved of this plan, but it also sounds like something Kris Jenner would leak to the press. Or a convenient story for KUWTK producers, which would love to work this romance into the show without getting anyone arrested.

FYI, here’s a photo of Kylie’s new $2.7 million Calabasas house, which contains 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a home theater.

If you couldn’t tell by my post yesterday, I’m utterly mystified by the media drama surrounding Karrueche Tran’s “breakup” with Chris Brown. Chris Brown fathered a baby girl, Royalty (!!), with a side-piece model named Nia. This happened nearly a year ago! Royalty Brown is nine months old, y’all. And all this time, Chris and Karrueche have been doing their stupid “drama,” their makeup-and-breakup cycle, in which he continuously dumps her and she keeps coming back for more. But sure, now we’re supposed to believe that Royalty Brown is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

TMZ reported that Karrueche “was in the dark” about Royalty up until this week. Karrueche and Nia did party together, back in the day, but Karrueche had “no idea” that Breezy was tappin’ that and impregnatin’ that. TMZ’s sources say Karrueche and Breezy “had a blowout fight a week ago and weren’t speaking, but he tried calling her after the story broke … she did not pick up.” Also: Karrueche is telling people that she was actually looking for a way to cut ties with Chris. Sure. She’s really hellbent on playing it like that, because yesterday, People Magazine published this story:

Chris Brown has yet to publicly confirm reports that he’s a father, but his longtime girlfriend Karrueche Tran is already moving on.

“Chris is still trying to get ahold of her and is calling and texting nonstop,” says a source close to Tran, who added the singer initially denied the baby was his. “She’s not answering and doesn’t have any plans to in the near future. She doesn’t want any part of the drama.”

And though Brown, 25, and Tran, 26, are infamous for their on-and-off relationship, “they’ve been pretty solid for the past year or two,” says the source, which means “he likely cheated on her.”

After being “totally blindsided” when the news broke, the model partied with pals – including Christina Milian – Wednesday night at Warwick in Hollywood after grabbing dinner at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktail.

“She was hanging out with her friends, casually drinking cocktails and dancing,” says the source. “She was in amazing spirits.”

While the pal says Tran is “completely mortified” by the situation, she “is honestly trying to leave it behind her and move on with her life. She’s seeing it as an opportunity to start fresh.”

[From People]

I see you leaking your business to People Magazine, girl. Karrueche really, really wants people to know that Chris is going crazy and trying to get in touch with her and that she’s moving on and she’s a strong woman, blah blah blah. And yes, of course he was cheating on her. He cheated on her ALL THE TIME. When he was with Rihanna, he was cheating on Rihanna WITH Karrueche. When he was Karrueche, he was cheating on her WITH Rihanna (and about a million other women).

Oh, and TMZ also says that Royalty is definitely Breezy’s baby and that the DNA came in recently. Royalty Brown, y’all. ROYALTY BROWN.

Many thought that LeAnn Rimes would go full-tilt crazy in the wake of her ex-husband Dean Sheremet’s epic tell-all interview this week. But so far… not much. I wonder if Eddie “accidentally” dropped her phone in the toilet or something. One of the few things happening on LeAnn’s social media yesterday was her stupid “chalkboard inspirational message” crap, which she’s been doing since Valentine’s Day (which is when Eddie gave it to her, telling her that he made it himself except clearly he did not). The message on yesterday’s chalkboard was “It’s important to give it all you can while you have the chance.” She posted it with this message on Instagram:

Happy #Thursday #chalktalk No half assing! Put all of your being into everything you do. You’ll never have to look back and say “I could have given more or tried harder.” You can say “I did my best and laid it all out there.” Win or lose, succeed or fail… YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL.

[From LeAnn’s Instagram]

Except that’s not what Dean said. Basically, he went away for a week and in that time, LeAnn and Eddie began their affair and LeAnn almost completely checked out of the marriage. But I’m sure in LeAnn’s mind, that was “giving it her all [at least until a womanizing sleazeball came around].”

What else is going on? Let’s see… Star Magazine is calling out LeAnn on her fake illnesses and canceled concerts:

LeAnn Rimes infuriated fans recently when she canceled a number of her concerts, claiming she was too sick to perform. But after social media slip-ups revealed that LeAnn was actually partying, Star has learned the real reason she’s jeopardizing her career: she fears Eddie Cibrian will cheat on her.

LeAnn first sparked outrage by backing out of her Feb. 20 show at the Cold Country Casion and Hotel in Oroville, CA at the last minute. She then went on to cancel the following night’s show at the Primm Valley Resort in Las Vegas.

“I am so sorry to my fans that were planning on spending the evening with me,” she said in a statement. “I would think living in California would help deter those pesky winter illnesses but boy was I wrong! As I lay here coughing and hacking away, I promise the wait will be worth it.”

But her followers didn’t buy her excuse. On the day of her second canceled show, LeAnn tweeted about Mexicon food and margaritas, writing that she was doing “Mexican food” to honor the day.

Insiders close to LeAnn claim that her serious trust issues are overtaking her dwindling career.

“She figures that if she watched over Eddie’s every move and spends every waking moment with him, there’ll be no way for him to have an affair. Her fans may hate her for it, but she couldn’t care less.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Yep, sounds about right. Earlier this week, I saw some Twitter people “Twihard proofing” LeAnn’s claims of illness, which I don’t even understand anymore. She lies about this crap so often! Whenever she claims to be sick as a dog, just assume she’s lying and proceed with your life. She’s only doing it to get sympathy from her ride-or-die fans, plus she wants Eddie to come and take care of her. I hope she has a little bell that she rings whenever she wants him to bring her more soup.
