WATCH: Perez Hilton's Mother Sings Spanish Lullaby To Perez Jr.

In the soft sway of a grandmother’s arms a baby can be rocked to sleep in a matter of minutes -- add a Spanish lullaby and the child will be out in seconds.

Even first time father Perez Hilton knows the benefits of having his Cuban mamá around the house to take care of his 6-month-old son Mario Armando Lavandeira III (aka Perez Jr.). In an exclusive video with MamásLatinas.com posted on Thursday, the celebrity blogger and entertainer sat down with his mom and baby boy to talk about the part of being an abuela.

“I’m working and thankfully my mom is a very hands on grandmother and helps me with my son Perez Jr., she lives just a block away so she’s over all the time,” the 35-year-old star says at the beginning of the video. “So when I’m really busy with working she helps keep him entertained.”

Perez, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira II, was born in Miami to Cuban parents and became a dad on Feb. 16 through an egg donor and a surrogate.

"I knew it was going to happen this way because boyfriends and husbands may come and go, but kids are forever," Perez told the Los Angeles Times over a month after his son’s birth. "I didn't want to keep waiting."

Perez’s mother, “Teresita” Lavandeira, talks about helping her son by singing the Spanish-language lullaby “Duérmete mi niño...” to little Mario -- a moment she tried to demonstrate in the video to the amusement of Perez Sr. who laughed and said in Spanish, “He’s going to start to cry like that.”

It’s clear that baby Perez likes having grandma around but what’s the best part about being an abuela according to Teresita?

“The best part about being a grandma is that you don’t have any responsibility for the babies, just to take all the time in the world to love them,” the Cuban grandma told viewers in Spanish as Perez laughed.

The Hollywood gossip star is known for his larger-than-life attitude but in an interview with HuffPost last month, Perez said that fatherhood has changed his life.

“Being a father has made me more centered and relaxed,” Perez told HuffPo.“I'm less selfish than I used to be. Life isn't all just about me anymore.”

Why Russell Brand Considered Becoming A Monk

It's no secret that Russell Brand has a habit of talking about his divorce, but this time he's opened up about how the end of his marriage to Katy Perry almost changed his career.

According to Yahoo! Entertainment New Zealand, the comedian shared details of his post-divorce life at a warm-up gig in London for his Messiah Complex tour.

"When I got divorced, I considered becoming a monk. When you're a monk, you're not allowed to have sex with anyone. When you're married, it's one person. That's one more than a monk. It's not that different," he said.

Brand's pop star ex-wife has opened up about the divorce as well, recently telling Vogue that Brand dropped the divorce announcement via text message.

“Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011,” she said.

Brand and Perry were married in October 2010 and divorced 14 months later in December 2011.

Slapped With Restraining Order!

Despite their seemingly amicable split, Jack White and Karen Elson's divorce has taken a turn for the worse.

The Associated Press reported late Thursday that Elson had filed for a restraining order against her ex on July 17 in which she said he has a violent temper and sends her harassing e-mails and text messages.

The restraining order, obtained by Nashville City Paper, stated, "Wife fears for her and the children’s safety as a result of this harassment," and “This pattern of husband’s bullying wife into submission was a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage."

According to Nashville City Paper, White was served with the order on July 22 and is prohibited from from having “any contact with wife whatsoever except as it relates to parenting time with the parties’ minor children.”

The former couple, who married in 2005, announced their split by throwing a divorce party in June 2011. At the time, they stated in a press release:

We remain dear and trusted friends and co-parents to our wonderful children Scarlett and Henry Lee. We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow. In honor of that time shared, we are throwing a divorce party. An evening together in Nashville to re-affirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future with close friends and family.

They aren't the first celebrity couple who claimed they were on good terms -- and then weren't. Click through the slideshow below for five others.

Huge Scoop On 'American Horror Story: Coven'

0
0

We didn't know much about "American Horror Story: Coven" ... until now.

Four of the FX drama's leading ladies -- Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates -- took the stage along with "American Horror Story: Coven" executive producer Tim Minear to reveal some Season 3 details, even though they're only two days into filming.

Paulson announced she'll be playing Cordelia, the daughter of Lange's character Fiona. "Isn't that a nugget? Chew on that for a while. That's tasty," Paulson joked. Later, Minear pointed out that Paulson's character is named after one of King Lear's daughters, not Charisma Carpenter's character on "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer."

Lange also revealed that the show moves "back and forth in time so it encompasses a lot of different stories," and that Fiona will be a witch. Minear noted that not all of the "American Horror Story: Coven" characters will be witches, despite the title.

"All these women are playing very iconic, very strong female characters," he added. "The cast is off-the-hook amazing. FX is often thought of as a boys' network, but if you look at this murderer's row of actresses, this is going to be the most friendly place for women on television this season, until we start doing that thing we do that's not friendly."

"American Horror Story" newcomers Bassett and Bates will both play historical figures. Bassett revealed she joins the show as New Orleans' 1800s Voodoo queen Marie Laveau, while Bates will play, as rumored, 1830s New Orleans socialite and serial killer Madame LaLaurie.

"It's been interesting being in New Orleans because there's such a regard and respect for who she was," Bassett noted of Marie Laveau. "She was a very influential person in the city. My character's based loosely on her … I read a novel by Robert Tallant called 'The Voodoo Queen' ... Very interesting. Yesterday, I was filming in the French Quarter, there's some Vodouns who showed me a few things, but I don't know if I need all that right now. I don't know exactly where it's going so I'm remaining open, just picking up little things ... talking to folk from [New Orleans] and getting a take on how they see her or what they feel about her, trying to sense who she was and her power in the 1800s as this black Creole woman."

Minear also revealed that it was Lange's idea to set Season 3 in New Orleans. "We talked about what we wanted to do this year, we talked about witches ... Jessica had talked about New Orleans, and it made sense to set this show there," he said. "We're taking this idea of Salem and those witches fleeing to the south at some point."

"Pragmatically, there's a tax credit to be had [in New Orleans]. We wanted to do something different and shake it up. The whole season [will be shot there]," he added, which seemed to contradict Murphy's previous statement that "Coven" would be set in "a mixture of several cities."

Minear added that unlike "American Horror Story's" psychologically disturbing "Asylum" season, the third season will be a bit more comedic. "The fun quotient is higher this year," he said. "Last year wasn't as fun, I would say. This year is a drama, but there is a lot of humor and we're embracing a kind of velocity and fun with the series ... I feel that it might be a little more welcoming to an audience."

However, "American Horror Story: Coven" will still be serious. "Some of the bigger themes this year are oppression of minorities of all kinds, and within that idea, minority groups going after each other and doing the work of the larger culture," Minear said. "While there is a strong feminist theme that runs throughout 'Coven,' there are themes of race and themes of oppression, and themes of family -- especially mothers and daughters."

Bates recounted how she talked to Lange after seeing Season 1 of "American Horror Story." "'You gotta get me on that show,'" she remembered telling Lange. "I thought it would be a couple episodes or whatever." When Murphy pitched "Coven" to her, Bates said she felt the little kid inside of her jumping up and down. "It's delightful to be among such a glorious group of actors ... I'm going to go on record and say we're going to knock your socks off."

"American Horror Story: Coven" premieres in October 2013 on FX.

Kathy Bates: NBC 'Treated Us Like S---'

After NBC canceled "Harry's Law," Kathy Bates was reluctant to return to television, the actress admitted during the "American Horror Story: Coven" panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

"Harry's Law" was considered a bubble show because it scored a mere 0.8 in the coveted adults 18-49 demo, but its overall ratings were healthy -- especially by NBC standards -- always pulling in over 7 million viewers. Because of this, its cancellation came as a shock to many fans -- and Bates herself.

The Oscar winner had some choice words for NBC during the Q&A for the FX drama, telling reporters, "I don't wanna give 'em any airtime -- I think they treated us like shit; they kicked us to the curb; they disrespected us; they disrespected our 7 to 11 million viewers every week, and I think they're getting what they deserve ... I wasn't gonna say anything about it, but who cares?"

While Bates was once bitten, twice shy about TV roles following the cancellation, she recounted how she talked to Lange after seeing "American Horror Story" and telling her, "you gotta get me on that show -- I thought it would be a couple episodes or whatever."

Lange came through for her former co-star (the two worked together on 2006's "Bonneville"), and when Ryan Murphy pitched her the show, Bates said she felt the little kid inside of her jumping up and down with enthusiasm at the chance to play in Murphy's world. "It's delightful to be among such a glorious group of actors ... I'm going to go on record and say we're going to knock your socks off."

Kenneth M. Walsh: Catching Up With Michael Menzies, the 'Love Child' of Noël Coward and Marlene Dietrich

0
0

Back in June I put together a summer reading list that included a delightful-sounding memoir called Deeply Superficial: Noël Coward, Marlene Dietrich, and Me, written by film executive Michael Menzies. I had heard about it through my upcoming book's editor, Don Weise, who also worked with Mr. Menzies. Don had been gushing about what a delight Michael's tome was, so I was eager to dig in. Despite the obvious conflict of interest, it turns out that Don didn't lie -- or even exaggerate much. Part Coward biography, part Dietrich biography, part memoir and all heart, Deeply Superficial is a must-read for fans of Old Hollywood, or really anyone who's ever felt a special kinship with a celebrity.

Growing up a fish out of water in New Zealand during the 1940s, Menzies discovered the autobiography of actor/writer/composer Noël Coward and was consumed by it. While just 12 years old at the time, he identified hugely with Coward -- so much so that he believed that he must be his hero's love child. But who was his mother? Like any budding gay boy of that era, of course he thought she could only be Marlene Dietrich. Menzies then decided that as soon as he could leave NZ, he would trek around the world to confront Coward and Dietrich in person and announce himself as their son. Yet even after he finally abandoned his dreamy plan, Menzies continued his search for them -- and their pasts -- spending the rest of his life following in their footsteps, traveling to London, Paris, New York, Berlin, Switzerland and Jamaica.

I recently pinned Mr. Menzies down at his West Hollywood home for five questions about the summer's sweetest read.

Kenneth M. Walsh: I was drawn to your book because, like you with Noël Coward and Marlene Dietrich, I grew up thinking I was the love child of Genghis Khan and Madeline Kahn. Please tell us how your quirky story wound up becoming a book?

Michael Menzies: When I was about 4 years old, my mother, correcting some flaw in my character (the nerve of her!), said to me, "People don't behave like that in the real world." That was the moment I decided to reject reality and create my own world. I felt I had to write about this, to give people an alternative way of seeing life. It doesn't have to be all grey and dull. For instance, no matter where you are, if you squint, you can see Paris. Odd, too, that you should mention your relationship with your "parents." In 1979 I worked on a movie in New York City titled Simon, which starred your mother (Madeline Kahn), who did a great impersonation of my mother (Dietrich). It is quite possible, through this connection, that we are distantly related, even though Ms. Kahn never mentioned anything about you , despite the various lunches we shared on set.

Walsh: As a fabulous gay boy, you were more than ready to leave New Zealand behind you. Have you been back recently? And if so, do you think today's gay boys would find it more welcoming to their way of life?

Menzies: Last time I visited New Zealand was in 1988. (I was quite spry then.) I am contemplating another trip sometime within the next year. Historically New Zealand has always been politically progressive. it was the first country in the world to give women the vote (in 1893!). They approved same-sex marriage in April 2013, and the New Zealand senate burst into song at its passage. And as for the current boys there, Google "New Zealand male models."

Walsh: There is a point in the book where you are literally lurking outside one of Mr. Coward's homes, Chalet Covair in Les Avants, Switzerland. Driving by for a photo is one thing, but peering through the windows for a lengthy period of time is, well, stalkerish. You seem to find it rather cathartic, though, saying you could not remember another occasion when you were "so full of joy." Were there any things you did in the name of fandom that you left out of the book?

Menzies: You are right: It was stalker-like on my part. (Is "stalkerish" a word?) I apologized in the book for doing so. But I was beautifully dressed and arrived at Coward's Chalet in a chauffeured limousine, so if challenged, I am sure my knowledge and affection for The Master and my mode of arrival would override any call to the police. I did nothing else in the name of fandom (is that a word, too?) that I left out of the book.

Walsh: Who would play Michael Menzies in the big-screen adaptation of Deeply Superficial?

Menzies: I have written a one-man show based on an incident in my life: the night I was attending the first show Marlene Dietrich did on Broadway. It was a truly starry occasion: The world was there. I was 33 at the time, and my ideal choice for the role is John Krasinski, who was partly educated in England and therefore has the right voice. And why not choose someone sexy and handsome if you are going to cast yourself? If two other characters are added to the play who could play both Dietrich and Coward and my real parents, I would choose Constance Towers and Peter Katona. A movie of the book seems daunting, but the chapter where Dietrich at 60 falls in love with a Polish actor 25 years her junior could be adapted, I think. For that I would want Charlotte Rampling and John Krasinski, whose father was Polish and who therefore has the right voice. What do you think?

Walsh: I approve! And finally, if Noël and Marlene have Kindles in heaven, what do you think they would say about your little tale?

Menzies: I prefer "frothy tome" to "little tale," but in answer to your question, I think Noël would say, "Dear boy...," and Marlene would say, "Sweetheart, can you show us how these things -- the Kindles -- work?" I would have to say, "No, I can't, but when Kenneth M. Walsh arrives, I am sure he will be able to show all of us." Noël will probably respond that "it is unlikely that Mr. Walsh will arrive in heaven: Have you seen his blog?" Thank you for the interview, and may I have a second helping of that delicious English trifle, please?

Deeply Superficial: Noël Coward, Marlene Dietrich, and Me (Magnus Books) is available in paperback, eBook and audio book here.

Penelope Cruz And Javier Bardem Name Their Baby Girl

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are over the moon with the arrival of their newest baby girl -- quite literally.

The silver screen pair named their daughter, born July 22, Luna Encinas Cruz. Luna, in Spanish, means moon. Encinas is Javier's paternal surname and translates as live oak, notes Daily Mail.

Luna was born at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, Spain, and is the pair's second child -- they have a two-year-old son, Leo.

Despite their fame, Bardem and Cruz have always been extremely protective of their private lives. "I want my son -- and my kids if I have more -- to grow up in a way that is as anonymous as possible," Cruz told Vogue in 2011. "The fact that his father and I have chosen to do the work that we do doesn't give anybody the right to invade our privacy."

Ed. note -- The video above states that baby Luna was born June 22. That is a mistake, as Cruz delivered her second child July 22.

What Does Season 2 Have In Store For Danny & Mindy?

In the season finale of of "The Mindy Project," Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and Danny (Chris Messina) shared an almost-kiss moment that left viewers wondering what the future of the couple -- who had at one point seemed like the next Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) and Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) -- held.

Three months later, Kaling is finally opening up about what could happen between Mindy and Danny in Season 2.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen with the two of them,” Kaling told Entertainment Weekly. “I know people think I love romantic comedies and I’d want them to end up together. Truthfully, they’re such different types of characters. As they are now, I can’t see them having a very functional relationship.”

Messina has stayed vague on the subject of Danny and Mindy, but he did say he always feels honored to be compared to "30 Rock's" Jack and Liz.

"I love when they compare it to that -- '30 Rock' is amazing! If Danny and Mindy were to hook up soon, I guess my fear would be that it couldn't go anywhere from there. The idea of stretching it out over a few seasons or so might give it more mileage," he told The Huffington Post. "I do like that comparison, though. I always feel honored to be in the same sentence as [Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin]."

Season 2 of "The Mindy Project," which premieres on Fox in September, will see a crop of exciting guest stars including James Franco, Adam Pally, and Kris Humphries.

Do you want to see Danny and Mindy get together?

Season 2 of "The Mindy Project" premieres on Tues., Sept. 17 at 9:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

Leah Remini Reportedly Fears Retaliation After Scientology Exit

0
0

Actress Leah Remini publicly left the Church of Scientology last month, but the drama is far from over.

It's been speculated that Remini might fear retaliation, and is wary that 37 years' worth of confidential files and tape recordings with the church could be released in the wake of her exit, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Karen de la Carriere, a former top Scientology executive, told THR there is likely countless information from the thousands of auditing sessions the actress underwent throughout her time with the church. She claims ex-Scientologists who sever ties with the church worry that secret information from "confessional folders" could be leaked and used against them.

But Remini isn't one to bow her head and take it. The "King of Queens" actress plans to release a tell-all book about her time as Scientologist, she revealed to Us Weekly last weekend.

"It will include my experiences, everything that's taboo to talk about," she said.

The TV star and "The Talk" co-host announced her split from the Church of Scientology after "years of interrogations." She was subjected to such probing because she reportedly questioned leader David Miscavige, the church's more disturbing practices and the disappearance of Miscavige's wife, Shelly.

While her family has stood by her side, others celebrity Scientologists have allegedly been ordered to disconnect from the 43-year-old. Still, she remains staunch in her reasoning.

"I believe that people should be able to question things," Remini told People magazine last weekend. "I believe that people should value family, and value friendships, and hold those things sacrosanct. That for me, that's what I'm about. It wouldn't matter what it was, simply because no one is going to tell me how I need to think, no one is going to tell me who I can, and cannot, talk to."

ENGAGED!

Congratulations go out to actors Teresa Palmer and Mark Webber, who recently got engaged.

The "Warm Bodies" actress, 27, took to Twitter last night to let her fans and followers she's officially off the market. Palmer wrote:

The couple has been together since last September, reports Us Weekly.

Funnily enough, they met through Twitter. Back in March, the gorgeous blonde told Australia's Herald Sun "I looked him up after I saw the trailer for his film 'End of Love' and realized we had so much in common. There were lots of emails going back and forth ... it was like old-fashioned love letters in a way."

Webber, 33, who's known for such films as "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and "Save The Date," has a son, Isaac Love, from a previous relationship.

Palmer famously dated "Felicity" actor Scott Speedman for over a year.


Bloodhound Gang Booted From Russian Festival For Anti-Patriotic Acts

0

MOSCOW — The American rock group Bloodhound Gang was kicked out of a Russian music festival and pelted with eggs after videos emerged of its bass player shoving a Russian flag down his pants at a recent concert in Ukraine. Russian prosecutors are even considering whether to open a criminal case in the matter, which comes amid a rise in U.S.-Russian tensions.

Videos posted online of Wednesday's concert in the Ukrainian city of Odessa show bass player Jared Hasselhoff pushing the Russian white, blue and red flag down the front of his pants and pulling it out the back. He then shouted to the audience: "Don't tell Putin," a reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The incident outraged the Russian government. Maria Minina, a spokeswoman for the weeklong Kubana festival in southern Russia, said Saturday that the band's headlining performance the previous evening had been canceled because of its treatment of the flag.

The American band is known for its sexually explicit songs, including "The Bad Touch," with its unforgettable lyrics: "You and me, baby, ain't nothin' but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel."

Russian Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky tweeted Friday night that he had spoken with officials in the southern Krasnodar region, known as Kuban. "Bloodhound Gang is packing its bags," he said in the Twitter post. "These idiots will not perform in Kuban."

Hasselhoff was questioned Saturday by police, according to the Russian Interior Ministry, which said prosecutors have been asked to decide if the musician could be charged with defaming the Russian flag.

The bass player apologized late Friday at a news conference held at the music festival in the city of Anapa, the local Yuga.ru news portal reported. He was quoted saying that he had meant no offense and explaining that it was a band tradition for everything thrown from the stage first to be passed through his pants. Hasselhoff said he decided to throw the flag because some fans had seemed disturbed to see it hanging on the stage.

The scandal caused by the American band in Russia comes at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries over National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, who was given temporary asylum in Russia last week to help him evade prosecution in the U.S.

As the Bloodhound Gang members were driving to the Anapa airport on Saturday, activists from a pro-Kremlin youth group threw eggs and tomatoes at their vehicle, Yuga.ru reported.

The band members were taken off their afternoon flight to Moscow after they had already boarded the plane, Russian news agencies reported, citing airline officials. After being questioned by transport police, they took a later flight, the reports said.

Exciting New Details Revealed In 'Parenthood' Promo

There's no doubt that Season 4 of "Parenthood" had us all shedding our fair share of tears, but from the looks of the new Season 5 "Parenthood" promo (above) a happier season is on the way.

"Is Ryan the man you want to spend the rest of your life with?" Sarah (Lauren Graham) asks Amber (Mae Whitman) of Ryan, played by Matt Lauria. "Let's plan your wedding," she says when Amber tearfully tells her mother how much she loves him.

Additionally, Hank (Ray Romano) makes it clear that he's not quite done with Sarah when he makes an appearance in the promo, and it looks like Kristina (Monica Potter) is finally living a cancer-free life.

"Parenthood" won't be all fun and games this season, though. "All-American Rejects" frontman Tyson Ritter has joined the cast as a musician playing at the Luncheonette, which could cause trouble for Ryan and Amber, "Office" star David Denman will play a stay-at-home dad who might get to know Julia (Erika Christensen) a little too well for Joel's liking and "Lost" actress Sonya Walger will play an uber-confident architect who gets close to Joel while they're working together on the construction site.

Additionally, "Drop Dead Diva" alum Josh Stamberg will play Carl, described as "a charming and fun new addition in Sarah's building," in at least five episodes of "Parenthood" Season 5. Sounds like a lot of relationship drama to us!

"Parenthood" returns for Season 5 on Thursday, September 26 at 10 p.m. ET.

Maybe it's the recent success of her made-for-TV movie "Sharnado" or maybe pink is just her color, but Tara Reid was glowing Friday night at an event in Los Angeles.

Reid was all smiles when she hit the red carpet at Regal Cinemas in L.A. for the premiere of The Asylum and Syfy's "Sharknado." The 37-year-old opted for a salmon-pink high-low dress with a V-neck bodice and strappy sandals. She topped her look off with a swipe of red lipstick and kohl-rimmed eyes.

She was joined by cast members Ian Ziering and Cassie Scerbo at the event.

The former "American Pie" star was out celebrating the one-night-only, midnight showing of "Sharknado" at select theaters across the country, San Diego's KNSD notes. The flick made headlines on July 11 after it aired on the Syfy Channel and became a Twitter sensation.

Screenings sold out in Boston, New York and Seattle.

"It's just crazy," Reid told E! News Thursday at the 2013 Young Hollywood Awards, where "Sharknado" snagged the Internet Sensation Award. "If someone was ever gonna tell me that this was gonna happen, I never would have believed it. It's just hilarious. It just shows you how powerful social media is... This movie has become such a crazy phenomenon and we definitely didn't expect anything like this."

"Sharknado 2" is set to air in 2014.

Rihanna seems to have taken a little break from posting body-baring photos on her own Instagram account recently, but her best friend and photographer, Melissa Forde, hasn't.

On Friday, Forde posted a steamy photo of "badgalriri" to her own account. In the pic, Rihanna stands sideways dressed in a backless one-piece with both sheer and glittering panels. On her feet, she rocks a pair of black Converse sneakers. The superstar singer gives a seductive over-the-shoulder glance at the camera and has her hair in a short, curly new 'do.

The 25-year-old was decked out in the sparkly get-up because she was celebrating Barbados' Crop Over festival. While partying in the carnival-like atmosphere right in the streets of Bridgetown, she wore a veil and showed off some wild dance moves as her friends stood by.

Apparently, the "Diamonds" singer had a great time partying until dawn.
