Actress Anna Faris covers the March issue of Redbook in a bright Issa dress and Jimmy Choo heels. The Mom star, 38, opens up about family life with husband Chris Pratt and their 2 1/2-year-old son Jack.

On Jack’s premature birth: “My water broke in the middle of the night at seven months. We rushed to the hospital, and they were able to halt active labor with magnesium. I was at the hospital and the goal was to be in bed for four weeks…but on the seventh day, I went into labor again. I was in denial. For hours I was like, ‘I’m just having indigestion.’ Chris and I were so scared, but then Jack came out. Even though he was so tiny, he looked so good to us.”

On how Jack’s premature birth has changed their marriage: “It’s one of those things that drives you apart or makes you closer. I think that being a father is very meaningful and rewarding to Chris. He’s a great dad. He’s a little more serious than he was before. It forces your hand. You really have to become an adult.”

On being a working mom: “Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.”

On her husband’s 65-pound weight loss: “I just remember being grumpy because there was no food in the house. I love to cook really fattening things like steak and pasta and potatoes. I bake banana bread. But it’s okay. I love Chris ripped and I love him a little rounder, too.”

In case you have no idea who this is, her name is Scheana Marie, or Scheana Shay now. I first learned her name at the very beginning of Eddie Cibrian’s affair with LeAnn Rimes, back in… 2009. Scheana Marie dated John Mayer for a hot second, and then it was revealed (by Scheana herself, pretty much) that she had been fooling around with Eddie Cibrian when he was married to Brandi Glanville AND having an affair with LeAnn Rimes. Once Brandi dumped Eddie, word was that Eddie was still seeing Scheana Marie and LeAnn at the same time. Now Scheana Marie is one of the reality stars on Vanderpump Rules, Lisa Vanderpump’s Real Housewives spinoff show about the restaurant Lisa and her husband own in Beverly Hills. Scheana Marie still makes headlines for fighting with Brandi after all these years.

So, after that introduction, why should any of us even care? I know, I know. But I started to look at these photos last night and I couldn’t help myself. Scheana Marie married a dude named Michael Shay last July, and the “wedding episode” of Vanderpump Rules just aired this week, I guess. So we’ve got a lot newly-released wedding photos courtesy of Bravo’s Twitter and Scheana Marie’s Twitter. And we need to discuss her wedding gown. Or should I say… her wedding two-piece. Because chica wore a pearl-covered crop top to her wedding. Or is it a bandeau wedding bra?!

Scheana Marie wore a custom pearl crop top and matching mermaid skirt for her July 27 nuptials at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, Calif., designed by her aunt Dimitrianne Wood.

“Her dress, without a doubt, was uniquely Scheana,” her wedding planner Danielle Rothweiler told The Knot of her custom look. “She had no desire to be in a traditional wedding gown, and instead opted for a crop top gown. The gown was actually made by her aunt and it included removable straps. She kept the straps down for the ceremony and then pulled them up for the reception so that she could have fun without pulling her top up all night.”

[From People]

KLASSY. I mean, I do feel like every bride should wear whatever they want. It’s their day, and if they want to wear a pearl-covered crop top, God bless. But I’m judging. I don’t even feel guilty about it.

Next week it’s wedding time!!! #PumpRules photo by: @edmundprieto pic.twitter.com/HZkVpBexNI

Christina Aguilera shows off a new picture of her daughter Summer Rain in new issue of People alongside an in-depth interview.

Christina Aguilera, 34, admits that she was at a loss for words when her daughter, Summer Rain, was born:

“I was speechless,” the Beautiful singer tells People. “She was literally like an angel … We had an immediate calm bond, and I felt unexplainably connected to her and her spirit.”

Since their daughter’s birth, Christina and her film producer fiancé, Matt Ruler, who was in the delivery room with her, have grown so much closer to their daughter — now six months old.

“Her smile lights up a room and I know it melts mama and daddy’s hearts. She laughs a ton and is easy to make smile. She just wants to be where the action is!”

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian out and about in NYC on Tuesday. Her ensemble is a welcome relief from the previous day’s stupid crop top and camo pants. Kim ID’d this look: she’s wearing a Lanvin coat and dress and Louboutin heels. I wonder who made the choker. Always trust Kim to kill what could have been a decent look by accessorizing it in some terrible way. I guess we should stop yelling at her about it though – she’s obviously not going to change. She’s hellbent on making herself look stumpy and dumpy. With one choker, she manages to make herself look like a neckless ‘roid monster.

Anyway, Kim’s Love Magazine interview is the gift that keeps on giving. We discussed some of the best/most controversial quotes yesterday, including Kim’s response to the question “What do you do again?” Kim’s reply? “Ask my f—king bank account what I do.” Well, we have more quotes. Here you go:

Kim insists she didn’t launch her career with a sex tape: “Maybe that’s how some people heard about me but I didn’t launch my career off of that. That was 12 years ago, no 13 years ago now, so I just try to move on and put it in the past because I think that everyone in life does things they’re not proud of but you can’t sit and dwell on them forever.”

Her reality show is, like, important: “We’ve had more episodes than ‘I Love Lucy!’ And I’m proud that we give so many people jobs. Like, our lighting guy handing me a key chain last season and said, ‘I just want to thank you — I’ve worked for you guys for eight seasons and you helped me buy a house.’ So I get a little bit frustrated at people not understanding. Like when they ask, ‘What do you do?’ I mean what an uneducated question! And I just want to help change the perception that being on a reality show is such a negative thing.”

She used to love glitter: “I was obsessed with glitter, rhinestone heels and the kind of clothes that I now laugh at, and he threw them all out. I said, ‘Well I’m going to save them for my daughter one day.’ And he said, ‘Well if it’s going to our daughter, she never going to wear those!’”

[From Us Weekly and Madame Noire]

She’s being too cute by half if she genuinely believes that she didn’t ride (literally) her amateur p0rn-star status to fame and fortune. She totally got famous for a sex tape and for being friends with Paris Hilton (remember that?). She parlayed that into a reality show and the first DASH store and a decade later, here we are. Now she’s famous for a sex tape AND being married to Kanye West.

And I seriously hope that as North West grows up, she demands to wear glittery pink everything, just to piss off her dad.

Angelina Jolie has been in England this week, doing work on behalf of her program with William Hague, Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. Hague and Jolie already did a two-day interfaith discussion, and then on Tuesday, Angelina was at the London School of Economics to announce the creation of the Centre on Women, Peace and Security. LSE’s Twitter account had the photos, and the press release.

Angelina Jolie expanded on her humanitarian efforts Tuesday in London, announcing the creation of the Centre on Women, Peace and Security at the London School of Economics. Jolie, 39, a special envoy of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, attended the event alongside William Hague, Britain’s First Secretary of State and leader of the House of Commons, PEOPLE confirms.

The new center will aim to educate students about the participation of women in “conflict-related processes” and “on enhancing accountability and ending impunity for rape and sexual violence in war,” according to a press release from the renowned London School of Economics.

“I am excited at the thought of all the students in years to come who will study in this new Centre,” Jolie said in a statement. “There is no stable future for a world in which crimes committed against women go unpunished. We need the next generation of educated youth with inquisitive minds and fresh energy, who are willing not only to sit in the classroom but to go out into the field and the courtrooms and to make a decisive difference.”

The new center will support the goals of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI), which Jolie and Hague co-founded in 2012. Next year, the newly announced center will begin offering post-graduate degrees. The center is also supported by former U.S. Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

[From People]

This is so interesting! Is anyone else slightly surprised that Angelina has been launching this initiative exclusively in England though? I know she’s close with Hague and he’s probably the most high-profile ally for Jolie (even though America’s former and current Secretaries of State seem to be on board as well). And on a superficial level, look at the branding of this: Jolie’s initiative is so significant, important and well-regarded that the London School of Economics has agreed to host the center.

Also on a superficial level? Angelina is referred to “Jolie Pitt” throughout the press release. Like, that’s her name now. She’s Angelina Jolie Pitt. But is Brad now Brad Jolie Pitt?

I figured this would happen. I actually think this was the point of Jennifer Aniston’s “#1 Snubbed Media Tour” a few weeks ago. Of course she wanted to get nominated for an Oscar, but failing that, she wanted to be known as the #1 Snubbed this year so Oscar producers would feel like they had to “make it up” to her by inviting her to present at this year’s Oscars. Meanwhile, the real #1 Snubbed, David Oyelowo, was also asked to present, so I’m not mad about that at least.

No hard feelings, Jen? When the Oscar nominations were announced last month, there was one name noticeably missing from the Best Actress category. After her critically acclaimed performance in Cake, Jennifer Aniston was considered a frontrunner to be nominated.

The Friends alum, 45, however, was unable to score the coveted honor, and many considered it to be one of the biggest snubs of this season. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scienes announced that Aniston would still have a part in the show — as a presenter.

Other presenters include Selma’s David Oyelowo, who was also snubbed for his role as Martin Luther King, Jr., making this year’s acting nominees the whitest group in 20 years.

Other presenters include Sienna Miller, Chris Pratt, Chris Rock, Kerry Washington, and John Travolta. At last year’s show, Travolta made headlines and created countless memes when he accidentally introduced Frozen songstress Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem.” Fingers crossed he has to pronounce the name “Benedict Cumberbatch” this time.

[From Us Weekly]

I can’t believe they asked Travolta again after the Adele Dazeem disaster. Maybe they’re actually hoping for another Travolta mishap because that was one of the most-talked about moments last year. Anyway, I’m not super-jazzed about this presenters list so far. I’m excited that all of last year’s winners are coming back, of course, because I’m dying for some Cate Blanchett and I always love some Lupita. Benedict Cumberbatch is going to present too. But I still feel like they need some bigger names other than… Sienna Miller and Chris Pratt, you know? And how about some fun people too? How about Viola Davis? Or Catherine Deneuve? Or Charlize Theron & Sean Penn? Or Bill Murray? Or Angelina Jolie? Hell, I would happy to see Gwyneth Paltrow as a presenter too.

Do you think that because Aniston is going to present, that means Brangelina won’t be asked to attend or present? Brad is one of the producers on Selma, you know. He would have legitimate reason to be there. And Angelina’s Unbroken got some technical nominations.

Yesterday evening, NBC News announced that Brian Williams would not be returning from his “several days” off in self-imposed hiatus. At least for a while. NBC News’ president Deborah Turness has put Williams on a six-month suspension without pay following the past week and a half of rolling revelations about his very public lies and “misremembering.” Many believe that NBC News is just going to use these six months to get all of their ducks in a row and look for a new permanent anchor, and that at the end of the six months, Williams will be out completely. In the meantime, Lester Holt will be filling in as the temporary anchor. Which is awesome. Lester Holt is the best. Turness released this open letter about Williams’ suspension, and here’s something interesting: NBC’s internal investigation isn’t even completed!!

We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately. We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News.

Our review, which is being led by Richard Esposito working closely with NBCUniversal General Counsel Kim Harris, is ongoing, but I think it is important to take you through our thought process in coming to this decision.

While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003. It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position. In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field.

As Managing Editor and Anchor of Nightly News, Brian has a responsibility to be truthful and to uphold the high standards of the news division at all times.

Steve Burke, Pat Fili and I came to this decision together. We felt it would have been wrong to disregard the good work Brian has done and the special relationship he has forged with our viewers over 22 years. Millions of Americans have turned to him every day, and he has been an important and well-respected part of our organization. As I’m sure you understand, this was a very hard decision. Certainly there will be those who disagree. But we believe this suspension is the appropriate and proportionate action.

This has been a difficult time. But NBC News is bigger than this moment. You work so hard and dedicate yourselves each and every day to the important work of bringing trusted, credible news to our audience. Because of you, your loyalty, your dedication, NBC News is an organization we can – and should – all be proud of. We will get through this together.

[From NBC News]

Do you think this is the right decision? I think it would have seemed stronger if this had happened last week, you know? When the first wave of controversy hit last week, Williams should have been suspended for a few weeks to allow for an internal investigation, then once the investigation was complete, they should have just fired him. But, on the other hand, I guess NBC looks loyal to their on-air talent (except for, you know, Ann Curry) and like they were giving Williams the benefit of the doubt. But it’s pretty hardcore for Williams to be suspended without pay only a few days into the internal investigation. Williams has probably been lying about a lot more, don’t you think?

Jon Stewart announced something absolutely horrible at the end of last night’s episode of The Daily Show: Jon told the audience that by the end of the year, he would be leaving TDS. Stewart is the head of TDS in every way, as the star/host, writer and executive producer. He’s been on the show since 1998, which means he’s seen us through four presidential election cycles. I can’t believe he’s not going to help us through the 2016 presidential election!! Jesus. Here’s Jon’s announcement:

He says, in part: “I’m not going anywhere tomorrow, but this show doesn’t deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you…I’m gonna have dinner on a school night with my family, who I have heard, from multiple sources, are lovely people.” Do you think that’s it? A combination of his kids getting older and he wants to be around more for them, plus he is legitimately feeling “restless”? I think the restless thing is true, and I think he’s been feeling that way for a while. It’s why he decided to take a time out in 2013 to direct Rosewater, and after he got a taste of a different career path, it became harder for him to be content with TDS.

As for who will replace Jon… I don’t know. Jason Jones, maybe? Rob Riggle? Stephen Colbert is headed to The Late Show, John Oliver is killing it with his HBO show, and Steve Carrel is nominated for an Oscar this year. Samantha Bee? Jessica Williams? Ugh, I don’t know!

Here’s a photo of Justin Bieber hitting the gym on Tuesday. He seems to be doing fine, physically. Swaggy broke his foot over the holidays during a soccer game. You can see a gross photo of Swaggy’s little tootsie here. It looks like a hefty bruise, but it wasn’t a bad enough break to require a fracture boot. He’s been swagging all over the place in normal shoes. Swaggy’s still in a lot of pain, or so he says. He’s using the foot as an excuse for not completing the community service requirements for his probation.

So much has happened with Swaggy that it’s hard to recall why he’s on probation. It’s not for the drag racing in Florida or brothelgate. He’s on probation for — of all things — tossing eggs at his neighbor’s house. I predicted he’d never make it two years without doing one of the following: (1) Breaking the law again; or (2) Making endless excuses about how he can’t finish his community service (in manner of Lindsay Lohan).

Swaggy chose option #2. Here’s the lowdown from TMZ:

Justin Bieber ?has been taking lots of anger management classes recently but he hasn’t done a single hour of community service because of a soccer injury … so says his lawyer.

Attorney Shawn Holley was in court Tuesday morning for a progress report in his egging case. Justin has completed 9 out of 12 anger management classes. As for his 5 days community service, Holley said Bieber screwed up his foot and couldn’t pick up trash or remove graffiti.

You’ll recall, Bieber screwed up his foot during a soccer game last month in Turks and Caicos. Holley submitted a doctor’s note to satisfy the judge.

According to the probation report, obtained by TMZ, the probation officer wrote a report saying, Bieber “has displayed a cooperative attitude and has expressed a sincere desire to be more diligent in complete anger management and community labor.” Bieber was supposed to attend 1 anger management session per week, and he’s fallen short.

[From TMZ]

Kaiser pointed out that Bieber even has the same lawyer as Lohan, which is hilarious. At least Scooter Braun will make sure Shawn Holley gets paid for this client. I wonder if Bieber realizes his redemption tour will be marred by this new development? Everyone already laughed at how Swaggy wondered if he was human. I don’t know if people would laugh at him for going to jail, but I think his team is more concerned about his career. Big mistake.

You may know Sophie B. Hawkins from her early 90s hits “Damn I Wish I was Your Lover,” and “As I Lay Me Down.” Hawkins has come out with five studio albums total, most recently in 2012, although she’s never achieved the same level of success of her first and second releases. (Also, she had an awesome guest appearance on Community in 2013. When is that show coming to Yahoo Screen already?)

Hawkins recently announced that she’s pregnant as a single lady at the age of 50. This will be her second child, she is also mom to a six year-old son named Dashiell. While it may sound incredibly risky to be pregnant at the age of 50, Hawkins is pregnant from one of the embryos she had frozen from nearly 20 years ago. It sounds like doctors gave her the go-ahead given the circumstances. Hawkins tells People that she’s not too worried about being an older lady raising children alone because she has a great support network and she feels healthy.

“I found Dashiell [6] really needs a sibling,” Hawkins tells PEOPLE of her decision to have another child. “My son has one parent who’s 50. I want him to have a family of young people too!”

Before becoming pregnant, Hawkins faced fears because of her age and the fact that she is newly single.

“I went through waking up crying and saying, ‘Am I too old? Will I suddenly at 51 have my knees give out?’” she admits. “Now I don’t have any of those fears because I feel healthy and strong. I’m also setting up a good net of support, and that’s the key to anybody having a child.”

Hawkins says her age was not a concern for doctors because she had frozen embryos at the age of 31, was in good physical health and had a healthy first child.

“For me, the main decision was emotional,” she says. “I’ve been wanting to have a child since Dashiell was 1, but I was working too much and there was a lot going on in my relationship.”

The “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover” singer, who identifies as omnisexual, says now she is more than ready to raise a baby alone.

“I interviewed a lot of divorced women and they said, ‘It’s so much easier to do it alone. You don’t have the pressure or the criticism or judgment of someone else.’ Of course then you ask, ‘Will I miss the emotional support?’ Well, to tell you the truth, I’m getting that more from my friends than I ever got in a relationship.”

[From People]

I was trying to figure out if any celebrities have carried their own babies post 50, and I don’t think they have. The closest is Gina Davis, who had twins at 48. (Incidentally she also had a daughter when she was 46.) My grandmother had a child naturally in her 40s. I know it’s not something I would choose for myself, I’m just north of 40 and I wouldn’t want to go through all the work and stress of raising another child.

Hawkins also told People that she’s in her second trimester and sometimes forgets that she’s pregnant. She said “I still exercise the same, work the same, do everything the same.” As part of a Valentine’s romantic songs feature, Vogue has a new video of Hawkins performing “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” live. She calls it “one of my favorite songs that never gets old.”

Here’s a photo of Hawkins’s son, Dashiell, from her Twitter:
