Troubled reality star Scott Disick had some festive fun with his three kids – son Mason, nearly 7, daughter Penelope, 4, and nearly 2-year-old son Reign – at a snow-tubing park in Los Angeles, Calif.

“Fast times,” Disick, 33, Instagrammed the fun photo.

Mama Kourtney Kardashian was also in attendance at the fun family outing. She shared a snapshot from the winter wonderland as well.

The KUWTK star and her on-again-off-again beau are back on again.

After a year-and-a-half apart, the famous exes, “are back together and giving their relationship a try again,” said a source.

It’s been a week since we learned that Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper are expecting a little Mini Cooper. And I still haven’t gotten used to the idea/reality. Irina debuted her “bump” during the Victoria’s Secret show in Paris last week, and she reportedly let VS know about her pregnancy, because they changed her outfits so she wasn’t wearing anything too revealing. She’s also reportedly in her second trimester already. Does anyone else think it’s weird that Bradley hasn’t made any kind of official or unofficial statement? I smell drama! But the drama will have to wait, because it seems like Irina is pushing a happy-family narrative to People Magazine and E! News. From People:

Bradley Cooper, 41, and his girlfriend Irina Shayk are expecting their first child, and while “being pregnant hasn’t stopped [the model] from working hard in Europe,” a source says Cooper “seems more protective” of her.

“He has been spotted dropping her off at the airport with kisses as she is about to take off for another job,” says the source. “They are just a very sweet couple.”

Despite the time apart, the source says, “Bradley and Irina both seem very independent and supportive of each other’s careers.” With their hectic careers, it always helps to have family close by. “They also are very close with their families,” says the source. “After Bradley’s dad passed away [in 2011], his mom Gloria mostly lives with Bradley in L.A.”

Cooper’s mom and Shayk, 30, already have a strong relationship and have been spotted hanging out together on multiple occasions.

“Irina was quickly introduced to Gloria and the two seem to get along great,” says the source. “They even spend time without Bradley. They take walks, go shopping or share long lunches.”

The Russian model is also “very close” with her mom, who the source says will “often travel with her on work trips.”

[From People]

Bradley’s mom Gloria is a constant presence by his side, and Gloria has had to spend time with other girlfriends like Zoe Saldana, Renee Zellweger and Suki Waterhouse. I don’t see how Irina is suddenly “the one,” or how she’s even gotten Gloria’s approval, but maybe that’s what the surprise pregnancy was about.

E! News also has a source talking about how Irina is doing with her first pregnancy. She’s “doing pretty well. She has some food cravings because she’s pregnant. She is not the kind of woman to count calories, but she has been taking it easy. She’s also exercising in moderation.” She’s also “more tired than usual” because she’s been “traveling a lot and hasn’t had time to see Bradley but plans on seeing him very soon. They are in communication a few times a day. They are really happy and can’t wait to have their baby.” Sure. I would like to hear him say that though? Because it feels like she got pregnant and he’s still working out his feelings about it, and they’re not really spending any time together. Oh, my favorite part of this E! story is this though: “Engagement or marriage may happen under the radar because they are very private people. They see themselves spending their lives together and building a family with more than one child.” Nothing says under-the-radar like leaks to People Mag and E!. Yeah, I still smell drama, but we’ll see.

That is the takeaway from the Baywatch trailer. Lots of slow-motion beach running. Lots of shirtless dudes and half-naked women. Lots of abs. So many abs. What storyline? All the abs. The trailer dropped this morning and it’s exactly what I expected from a Baywatch remake starring Dwayne The Rock…

Do any of you watch Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle? I’ve loved both seasons. Fun fact (possibly only fun for me): my son and I were at the Hollywood Bowl concert that opened Season Two. It was my son’s first live symphony and MITJ star Gael García Bernal’s appearance during the concert was a surprise to the audience.

Although I have seen many of his films, I really don’t know that much about García Bernal. He has many projects coming out, including Season Three of MITJ, which starts streaming tomorrow and is already getting great reviews. Two of his projects are getting a lot of attention because they are both being submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film – Chile’s Neruda and Mexico’s Desierto. Neruda, directed by Jackie director Pablo Larrain, is about Nobel Prize-winning communist Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, evading capture by García Bernal’s character, fascist policeman Oscar Peluchoneau. Desierto is a terrifying thriller about Mexicans attempting to cross into the US illegally as a vigilante (Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing another horrible, horrible person) tries to hunt them down. García Bernal tends to gravitate to political material so naturally his interviews do as well. The Daily Beast has a wonderful interview that I swear reads like poetry in parts. You can read the whole thing here. Below are some highlights:

On the state of U.S.-Mexico relations in the Trump Age:
“I am concerned. But at the same time, knowing that for a country so huge and culturally so massive like Mexico, combined with the United States—the amount of people, the families that are interlinked between the United States and Mexico culturally and economically… with the amount of that dimension that these countries represent, Donald Trump doesn’t exist, really. It is irrelevant.”

On how Mexican-American relations will win out over Trumps plans to separate us:
“It is far bigger, the unity that exists, than what somebody can do as a president. The only problem is that his discourse can create problems, of course. It can create the empowerment of certain people that feel that they have to take matters into their own hands, and that’s really the problem. That’s what Desierto really exemplifies. But really, I would say that for the history of the world, even more. Donald Trump doesn’t exist. It is alarming. But it’s like wanting to stop air from flowing. It’s impossible. What we can do is build that fraternity even more. People from the United States should come to Mexico and people from Mexico should come to the United States. To travel! To have sex!”

On using his fame to speak for those with no voice:
“I was invited to do a visit to see what the situation of the migrants from Central America were going through, passing through Mexico. The work that we started to do was fascinating. It brought me to a head-to-head experience as a migrant as well. The experience and my fascination with being a foreigner, an ‘other.’ I get offered to work here in the United States on Mozart in the Jungle and stuff and I come every year to do it, and I enjoy it—and it’s a free circulation of labor. I do it with a work visa and the whole thing, and I’m not criminalized for doing it. The tomatoes that we eat need that free circulation of labor! The problem is that we are criminalizing that free circulation of labor, hugely. There’s something wrong there. And the fact that I have those rights means I have to defend people who have no rights.”

As I said, the language in the interview is actually quite beautiful. García Bernal consistently gives thoughtful answers. He doesn’t seem to have an agenda, just well considered thoughts. I’ll admit, I don’t completely understand his point about how Trump doesn’t exist but I think he is trying to say that Mexico and America have been woven together so tightly that even Trump can’t pry us apart. Living in Southern California, I agree that our cultures will always be intertwined. And I love García Bernal’s confidence that what should prevail will, even if I don’t share in his optimism. I’m very afraid that Trump will not be irrelevant, specifically for the reason García Bernal cited, “[Trump’s discourse] can create the empowerment of certain people that feel that they have to take matters into their own hands, and that’s really the problem.” (Although I kind of want to try out his theory of having sex to make Trump irrelevant.)

As posted yesterday, a judge denied Brad Pitt’s application to seal the divorce documents after Angelina Jolie formally filed their temporary custody agreement with the court last Friday. He claimed that she was compromising the privacy of their children. Her side argued in court documents that “…

Hands down, one of the best rock-documentaries that you will ever see is Some Kind of Monster, about Metallica’s multi-year process of recording their album St. Anger. I wasn’t even a Metallica fan when I started watching it, but I came out of it with so much respect for all of the bandmates, especially Lars Ulrich. The dudes fight about everything, but they care about each other and they’re committed to the band, which is why they hired an on-call therapist to help them work through their issues. It’s a fascinating look at a successful band and how stress fractures form and can be healed. Since I became a Lars Ulrich fan when I saw that doc, I decided to read his interview with New York Magazine, which he did because Metallica has a new album out right now called Hardwired… to Self-Destruct. The whole piece is worth a read – go here. Some background info: Lars is Danish, but he mostly lives and works in America. He’s a major art collector and he’s a prescient businessman. Some highlights:

Whether he considers Metallica to be a political band: “If you break down what Metallica does in its simplest form, it’s write — or at least try to write — f–king great rock songs. Once you go beyond that and into more specific social or political relevance, I get uncomfortable. We’ve never been a preachy band, and we try hard to not do any interpretation for people before the music comes out. When you listen to our music, it should fit your needs, not our needs.

What he thinks of Paul Ryan being a fan of Metallica: “I lived through Some Kind of Monster so I’m pretty good at compartmentalizing. And I’ve had to sit there and answer questions like, ‘How do you feel about the U.S. military using your songs to torture prisoners?’ I mean, as much as that makes me squirm, when you hand those recording master tapes to the FedEx guy and then the music goes out into the world, you’ve gotta let it go. Whether people like it or hate it, you just find a way to deal with it. So if Paul Ryan likes Metallica, hallelujah, it’s fine with me.”

Whether he talks to politically-conservative bandmate James Hetfield about politics: “I swear to you, I talk to James Hetfield about most things on this planet, but I don’t think I’ve ever willfully had a political conversation with him. We’ve spent 35 years together, and obviously we’ve been in the same room when the conversation went toward politics, but James and I sitting down in a room and discussing our particular views on something like affordable health care? Never happened.

His view of the world: “I grew up in a functioning social democracy. I grew up on affordable health care in a country where the word ‘we’ is more popular than the word ‘I.’ So trust me I have my opinions about this stuff, but I don’t really need to shout it from the rooftops. Maybe one day I will, and there are times when it’s difficult not to. I’m stunned about how truth and facts have become obsolete, and how if someone sees something they don’t like, they just say ‘the media made that up.’ But I get plenty of shouting done about this stuff in my personal life.

Whether Metallic’s tour will get political: “Sometimes the music connects in certain ways with people because of how the planets align or whatever, and sometimes it doesn’t. Art serves whatever function people need it to serve. So when we go out to tour the United States — which we’ll start doing in May of next year — for us it’s just a matter of leaving it all out there on the stage. We’re not here to heal you. It’d be self-important for me to say that. I think it’s pompous when bands go that route.”

What he things of those rock stars who do criticize politicians: “If Bruce Springsteen felt that, then he should say it. I totally support his doing that. The thing is, I’m not an American citizen. I pay taxes here, but I can’t vote. So I have this strange thing about commenting on this country’s politics. I have nothing but love and respect for Bruce Springsteen — I just finished reading his book a few weeks ago. But it’s not for me to say he should or shouldn’t do what he wants to do… If you’re Sting or Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen, you’re speaking for yourself.”

How he was proven right about file-sharing music: “No, I don’t walk around feeling good about it. It was never about money for us anyway. People were saying back in 2000, “Oh, Lars is being greedy.” That was totally wrong. It was about control. If an artist wants to give their music away, it should be their choice. That’s what I was arguing, and Metallica took a hit, because it got spun as us being against the fans. That was a hard summer, and it’s passed. I don’t take any glory in being “right” about anything.

[From Vulture]

Half of the interview was political talk, and Lars managed to strike an interesting “I really only talk about politics in my personal life” tone and stick with it. What I’m getting from this is that he’s a socially, economically and politically liberal guy but he doesn’t feel like it’s his place as a rock star and a Dane to comment on the nitty-gritty of American politics. Is that admirable? I don’t know. While I prefer the Michael Shannon method of Celebrities Discussing Politics, I think Lars probably knows well enough that his fanbase is probably half-Trump supporters too, if not more.

This is such a pleasant surprise! Ruth Negga covers the January issue of Vogue Magazine to promote her Oscar-baity role in Loving. I want to see Loving so badly but it hasn’t come to my town yet. I went into this Vogue interview not knowing much of anything about Ruth and I came out really liking her. She’s funny and girly but not twee (she’s 35 years old, but she looks like a 20-something ageless vampire), and she doesn’t shy away from discussing racial politics. Her mother is Irish, and her late father was Ethiopian. She was born in Ethiopia, but she and her mother moved to Ireland when she was four years old, and she grew up with Irish cousins and the Irish side of her family. You can read the full Vogue piece here, and here are some highlights:

Ending up in Ireland: “We were going to go to America but my dad didn’t get out in time.” Three years later, her father died in a car accident. “We found out in a letter and a phone call,” she remembers. “This was 1988. There wasn’t any grief counseling for kids.” Her mother was devastated and never remarried. “She’s a survivor. Very like Mildred.” Unlike Mildred Loving, though, Negga’s mother didn’t encounter any prejudice from being in an interracial marriage. “My mum never experienced that—I mean, never,” Negga says.

She didn’t feel different growing up in Ireland: “I remember thinking, I’m just me. When you’re a kid, you’re just you, aren’t you? It was when I moved to England that I felt it, because I was Irish and black.”

Being drawn to the African-American experiences of Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and James Baldwin: “I didn’t have that many black people in my life, so I had to sort of search them out. And I didn’t grow up in America, but I identified as much with their writing about the black experience as I did with their writing about the human experience.”

How she feels returning to Ethiopia: “I find it difficult because it was an abrupt sort of ending to a lot of my life. I’m always very careful to say I’m Irish-Ethiopian because I feel Ethiopian and I look Ethiopian and I am Ethiopian. But there are 81 languages in Ethiopia, and I don’t know any of them.”

How she identifies racially, nationality-wise: “People have always made assumptions about me. I become very territorial about my identity because it’s been hijacked by so many people, with their own projections.” Understandably, she doesn’t want to be pinned down, reserving the right to change her mind, about herself or anything else. “I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t change their mind,” she says.

She’s been with Dominic Cooper for seven years: “Seven years… What’s that in. . . .actor years? Forty-nine million!” She describes their working pattern as “brilliant. Because we just get on really well.” Their costarring in Preacher wasn’t entirely planned, however. “I had the script first. And he put me on tape for it, reading, and then he was like: ‘Hold on a minute; this is really good.’ I showed him the comic-book cover, and it’s basically his face.”

The lack of diversity in Hollywood: “[It has been] unacceptable for a long time, and it’s becoming clearly an embarrassment. The film is reminding us that there’s a conversation that we need to be having still. It does annoy Joel and me when people say it’s a quiet film. Because it doesn’t feel very quiet to us. It feels really loud.”

[From Vogue]

I don’t really understand her weirdness about how she identifies racially and nationality-wise. I mean, isn’t it pretty clear-cut? She’s half-white and half-black. Half-Irish and half-Ethiopian. She could call herself biracial, mixed race, black, white, Irish, Ethiopian or whatever she chooses. I think it’s probably more of a case of nations wanting to “claim” Ruth as their own. Ethiopians are probably like, “She’s ours, she’s Ethiopian!” And the Irish want to claim her too. And she lives in London, so the Brits want to claim her too. Also: I totally forgot that she and Dominic have been together so long. She was his jumpoff from Amanda Seyfried, does anyone else remember that? But now I’m thinking it’s more like Dominic met Ruth and everything clicked. Sweet.

Nick Cannon has been wearing a turban off and on for months. It’s a bizarre fashion statement but some of you have said that you’ve seen him with it on X-Factor and that it actually suits him. Nick’s turban has its own twitter account and Nick has retweeted memes about his turban, so he has somewhat of a sense of humor about it. Plus he Instagrammed a video where Kevin Hart told him he hated it. So when comic Dane Cook finally realized that Nick has been wearing a turban and decided to rant about it, Nick took the high road and said he wanted to discuss it with Dane.

Here’s Dane’s post which makes little sense other than conveying his anger that Nick is daring to wear a pink turban with a jewel on it. No wonder this guy has to steal other people’s jokes.

Last night Nick Cannon wore this shit. He put this on his head and he looked in a mirror and he walked away from the mirror without saying to himself, “Hey self mayyyyyybe I shouldn’t look like Zoltan and wear a fuhhhhhking pink turban with one of the infinity stones from Avengers on it.” He went outside and people didn’t stop him and say “Nick Cannon from Americas Best Talents Competition we love you so please remove that from your head please and thank you.” He wore a matching tie and bottom lip lipstick too to match this horrific clothing mistake x10000. This pic makes me so frustrated that I want to delete it already and I think I will because this makes me want to quit Instagram. Don’t get me wrong Nick is a good guy and he and I go way back but I’m gonna have to call Nick out here and say he Cannon’t wear this fuuuuucking thing again. I just opened my fridge and randomly punched into it in utter disbelief. I also just called hammered a nail into my own tire so I could walk into the woods off the side of a rural highway to spit on a birds nest. Ahhhh I’ve been ranting since my Voice of Doom 12 years ago on my website. Follow meeeeeeeee. Hahahaahhaah

And this is how Nick responded, by saying he’d like to educate Dane.

Yo @DaneCook call me so I can explain this Muthafuckin King Business to you!! ???#MoorishMindset #SikhLife #ReconditioningOurCommunities

That’s surprisingly staid from a guy who thinks that Planned Parenthood is a secret eugenics program. So is Nick Cannon Sikh now? If so, he’s picking and choosing what to follow because Sikh followers don’t cut their hair or shave at all. He’s just enjoying his turban and occasionally mixing it up with a knit cap or mohawk. It’s like the turban is his fancy wear and a knit cap is his casual option. I still think that Eva Mendes did it best. Now I want a dress turban so I don’t have to mess with my hair before I go out. This would be great for the gym too. Look how cute some of these are.
