Will Ferrell And Kevin Hart Were Men Of The People Of SXSW

We don't even want to know what's on that mixtape of "Kevin's Boner Jams."

Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell took to the streets of Austin this week to promote their movie "Get Hard" at South By Southwest. What ensued is a reel of face-to-face interactions with common folk who, for the most part, get totally messed with by the comedians.

From trying (and failing) to guess people's names to quizzing people about "Soul Plane" and the G.D.P., bumping into Hart and "Smith" (yes, someone actually thought Will Ferrell was Will Smith) was a treat that only a few SXSW-goers got to experience.

The rest of the people who attended just had to settle for one of the free bars of soap (real subtle, guys) that were given out by Funny or Die in the name of "Get Hard."

They're giving out free #GetHard soap at the @funnyordie #SXSW parties #subtle #fodsxsw

These sumo wrestling spectators are big in their own right.

Retired Yankees great Derek Jeter and girlfriend Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model Hannah Davis caught a match Thursday in Osaka, Japan.

Jeter was in Japan to help out former teammate Hideki Matsui at a charity baseball game to benefit survivors of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the New York Post reported. He got to meet some of the wrestlers at the sumo tournament.

The ex-shortstop, pictured below with grand champion Hakuho, didn't carry a lot of weight with competitors. According to the Japan Times, Chiyomaru shook Jeter's hand without a glimmer of recognition. "I didn’t realize who it was,” Chiyomaru said.

Another sumo, Tochiozan, said, "He was a catcher or something like that, wasn’t he?"

How Heidi Fleiss Went From Running A Babysitting Ring To A Prostitution Ring

$

0
Long before Heidi Fleiss became a household name, before she was the liaison between A-listers and prostitutes, she was running things -- a babysitting ring, to be exact.

Fleiss, known as the "Hollywood Madam" for her years catering to the stars, told HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri on Friday about her first gig, and how she took the same model to prostitution.

"When I was 13, I had about 15 women working for me [as babysitters]," she said. "Say, for instance, the Steinmans asked me to babysit on a Friday night, but I was already babysitting for another couple, but I couldn't let that money go. So I would send a friend to go do the other couple, and it went from there."

Fleiss went on to run her highly profitable prostitution ring until she was arrested in 1993. Her famed discretion is what attracted the celebrities, and Fleiss wasn't prepared to reveal any secrets Friday. She did mention that studios used to pay for actors to indulge in her services from time to time, but she said she has always been tight-lipped about her clients' identities.

"There's really only one name that came out with me," she said, referring to Charlie Sheen. "His name would've never come out, but when I was arrested, I had his traveler's checks in my purse. That's the only reason why. Otherwise, his name would've never come out."

13 Celebrities Who Gave Their Daughters Gender-Neutral Names

$

Amidst a swirl of rumored options, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have finally confirmed their baby daughter's name: James. While it may not seem like a typical girl name, James is just one of many recent examples celebrities giving their daughters names traditionally reserved for boys. Here are 13 celebrity baby girl names going in a more unisex direction.

Arlo

johnny knoxville arlo

Actor-comedian-stuntman Johnny Knoxville rose to fame as part of MTV’s "Jackass" empire. He’s the father of three: daughter Madison, son Rocko Akira, and daughter Arlo Lemoyne Yoko. Let’s just say that his taste in names has gotten more and more daring as the years have gone by. While Arlo might seem like a wacky choice for a girl, with Harlow and Marlowe in vogue, it’s not a stretch to imagine parents considering Arlo, too.

Casper

jason lee daughter

Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf were inspired to name their son Pilot after a song lyric. More than a decade later, Pilot is still a go-to name for wacky baby name lists. (I’m not sure it deserves that much noise.) Jason and new wife Ceren Alkac kept the name of their daughter quiet, but Casper Alice has mostly gotten positive reviews. The couple have a second child together, son Sonny.

Easton August

elisabeth rohm easton

Every time I see mentions of Elisabeth Rohm’s daughter’s name, I pause. I think it’s a good idea for either the first or the middle to be clearly gendered –- see Casper Alice, as well as Isabelle, a middle shared by two girls on this list. Elisabeth stuck to the grey area when naming her daughter in 2008. Easton has since entered the US Top 100 for boys. But maybe August isn’t such a surprise. Actor Oscar Nunez has an August Luce, and Garth Brooks named his daughter August Anna way back in 1994. So Easton is definitely borrowed from Team Blue, but August? Perhaps this calendar name belongs with April and June.

Fox

mark owen big brother

Mark Owen is known as a member of British pop group Take That, and he’s had a big solo career, too. In 2009, Mark married actress Emma Ferguson, and the two started a family: son Elwood Jack, daughter Willow Rose, and, in 2012, daughter Fox India. Yup, Fox is a girl. In the US, the creature name is a fast-rising favorite for boys, currently poised just outside of the US Top 1000.

Gray

jenna von oy gray

Jenna von Oy played sitcom characters named Six and Stevie back in the 1990s. Fast-forward to 2012, and she welcomed her first child, daughter Gray Audrey. In a classroom full of girls called Scarlett and Violet, colorful Gray isn’t such a surprise. But the somber name is more common for boys, especially when you consider Grey, as well as the fast-rising Grayson – in the US Top 100 –- or Greyson –- not far behind, at #149. But unisex names must be von Oy’s style. Her younger daughter is Marlowe Monroe.

Hunter

kevin rahm

Actor Kevin Rahm has had a long television career, most recently as Ted on "Mad Men." He become a father late in 2014, welcoming daughter Hunter. Like Wyatt and Lincoln, Hunter is a Top 100 favorite for boys. And yet on a girl, Hunter does feel wearable, a unisex name thanks to mythological and fictional figures like Artemis, the Amazons, and Katniss Everdeen –- skilled hunters all.

James

blake lively

James has been big in the middle spot for girls for years. Sean Combs has a daughter called Jessie James, born back in 2006. More recently, Jessica Capshaw welcomed Poppy James, Jennifer Love Hewitt went with Autumn James, and James Marsden’s daughter wears one of my favorite combinations, Mary James.
But James has also starred as a first name for baby girls. Canadian actor Brendan Fehr is the father of three girls: Ondine, Ellison Jane, and James Olivia. Helen Hunt played Jamie “James” Buchman on "Mad About You" back in the 1990s. And model Jaime King started out her career answering to James, too. According to the Social Security Administration, 28 girls were named James in 2013.

Jude

alexis stewart

Martha Stewart’s only child is daughter Alexis -– a name preferred for men in many languages. In 2011, the younger Ms. Stewart welcomed daughter Jude. While Jude -– as in Hey and the Obscure -– is definitely as masculine moniker, plenty of women named Judy and Judith have answered to Jude. It’s not quite Chris or Pat, but I think it seems less jarring than some of the names on this list.

Lincoln

kristen bell

Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell had a favorite name for their first baby. And even though Lincoln is much more popular for a boy, the couple named their daughter Lincoln Bell Shepard in 2013. It’s too soon to say if Dax and Kristen’s gender-bending choice will influence others, but there’s already a tiny minority of girls by the name –- 61 born in 2013 alone.

Mason

kelsey grammer mason

Veteran actor Kelsey Grammer is much-married, and father to six children. Two of his daughters have conventionally masculine names –- Spencer and Mason. Spencer’s acting career has flourished in recent years, and little sister Mason was in the spotlight when Kelsey’s former wife, Camille, was featured on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Mason was born back in 2001, when the name ranked a mere #53 in the US.

Maxwell

jessica simpson maxwell

Jessica Simpson surprised everyone when she announced the arrival of daughter Maxwell Drew in 2012. Jessica and retired footballer husband Eric Johnson explained that they’d chosen family names for Maxwell, and later for son Ace Knute. It’s a very Southern thing to do, and yet, Maxwell still seems like a solidly masculine name. Or is it? That same year, actress Lindsay Sloane named her daughter Maxwell Lue.

Owen

michelle branch

Back in 2005, musician Michelle Branch welcomed Owen Isabelle. While plenty of conventionally masculine names are steadily used for girls, like Dylan and Ryan, Michelle’s Owen is one of the few girls given this name. Middle name Isabelle softens the unexpected first.

Wyatt

mila ashton

Speaking of Isabelle, that’s the same middle name Aston Kutcher and Mila Kunis gave to their daughter, born in 2014. Wyatt Isabelle’s middle name honors Mila’s grandma, but Wyatt was just something that came to the couple at a Lakers game.

If Her Body Wasn't Stolen, I Don't Care How a Celebrity Got It 'Back'

$
0
0
"Body back after baby!" screams the headline.

"How I got my body back!" screams another.

"My body is back!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

What does it even mean to get one's body "back"? Was it stolen? Did it run away like a lost cat? And did the celebrity on the cover get ALL of it back? Has she inspected herself carefully? Maybe she thinks it's all "back" but there is still a leg or an arm or a pinky toe missing. Look closely, my dear!

"I'm on the cover of a magazine because an editor has chosen to glorify my bikini body and contribute to an already unhealthy societal obsession with rapid postnatal weight loss!" is what the headline should really say... if there was enough room.

And it is rapid postnatal weight loss. After all, would I have read about Russian model Elena Perminova in US Weekly had she not gotten her "body back" lickety-split?

"Most ladies like to have the better part of a year to get their post-baby bodies back in shape, but Russian supermodel Elena Perminova was determined to get her lithe frame back in record time: two months!" screamed US Weekly.

"'I started [exercising] just two weeks afterwards, even though I had a Cesarean," said Perminova.

Cool beans, Elena Perminova! Even though women are told to hold off six to eight weeks post Cesarean before embarking on rigorous exercise regimes, why wait? I mean, what do you have to lose except... your stitches?

And then there is Tori Spelling. Tori is a perennial perinatal tabloid fixture. She has posed post-childbirth in bikinis many, many times. In an April 2013 issue of US Weekly, she donned a bikini and gave readers advice on how she lost weight after having baby number four.

"The last thing on my mind was getting my body back," the actress and reality star said at the time.

Her weight loss, she said, could be credited to swimming. She never worried about what she ate. "...I have never once counted calories. I'm a big believer in eating healthy," she said.

Except that she's not. Fast forward six months later when Tori came out with her latest memoir and admitted she had lied about how she lost the baby weight. She wrote that she was actually on the "Just Keep Your F*****g Mouth Shut And Eat Air Diet."

"My publicist had given me clear instructions about what to say about my weight loss," she wrote. "So I said that I swam... I can't do much more than doggie paddle." (Did you hear the sound of her publicist getting hurled under a big bus?)

Why does this matter? Why do I care what Tori Spelling and some random model are doing? It only really matters to me for one reason: There are real, non-celebrity women out there who are influenced by what they see, and they want to lose more weight more quickly at a time when they should be focusing on -- oh, I don't know! -- taking care of their babies and of themselves.

New moms have it hard enough without all of this bikini-body bullsh*t. Ten to 20 percent of new mothers suffer from postpartum depression or anxiety. And even the new mothers who don't suffer from postpartum depression or anxiety have it hard. I have three children. I've been through this period. It's mind-blowingly, jaw-droppingly difficult. And it is so dang stupid that we're idolizing women because they did one thing -- they lost their baby weight quickly.

And now? Because of social media, we're no longer just inundated with images of celebrities who've lost weight quickly when we are in the supermarket checkout line.

Earlier this month, Kourtney Kardashian, who is a big fan of posing in bikinis soon after giving birth, shared a photo of her scale on Instagram. US Weekly was once again all over it like cocoa butter: "Kourtney Kardashian Celebrates Reaching 120 Pounds Post Giving Birth to Third Child -- See the Scale Proof."

Yippee! Kourtney had chosen an arbitrary number and then reached that arbitrary number in an arbitrary amount of time! (Well, there's your next headline, US Weekly!) Just like she did a few years ago when she posed on the cover of you-probably-know-what-magazine-by-now with the headline "How I Got Thin Fast." What are her secrets to getting THIN FAST? Well, you can read an excerpt from her book Kardashian Konfidential and she'll tell you what she eats:

For my meals, I eat whatever I want... I definitely never deprive myself. If you asked me how often I indulge myself with a food splurge, I'd say everyday. Absolutely. A cheeseburger with fries and a shake is always good. I also love DoubleStuf Oreos. And New York-style pizza with the thin crust. And I love having Mexican food and margaritas.


Who wouldn't want to go on THAT diet?

But the final straw, for me, isn't Kourtney. It may have been when my Facebook feed lit up last week with pictures of a model posing in her underwear at eight and a half months pregnant. I don't know anything about this woman nor am I claiming to know anything about her (or her health or her pregnancy). What upset me was the fame she had achieved instantly for not "looking" pregnant.

"This Pregnant Model Is So Insanely Fit She Has Pregnancy Abs" was the BuzzFeed headline for a post that had been viewed close to two million times.

Pregnancy abs? Pregnancy abs?! Pregnancy freakin' abs?! You know what this means, right? This means that one day we'll yearn for the good old days when celebrities tried to get their bodies BACK in shape AFTER having babies. Because pregnancy abs are now --like the Kardashians--something some people are going to try to keep up with.

Kanye West Is The Centerpiece Of Kelly Rowland's Vision Board

While Kanye West has struck up quite a few controversies over the years, singer Kelly Rowland is totally team Kanye.

The new mom sat down with HuffPost Live on Friday and discussed her dream to collaborate with the rapper.

"He's literally in the center of one of my vision boards. I love how gutsy he is. I love how he speaks his mind," Rowland told host Marc Lamont Hill.

Although the two celebrities run in the same circles, Rowland said she hasn't gathered the courage to reach out to 'Ye quite yet.

"We keep seeing each other in different places, and sometimes I think I'm too shy to say something. ... But the next time I see him I'll definitely just pick his brain," she said. "I think he's genius."

Perhaps Rowland got the idea to place Kanye on her vision board from her former bandmate Beyonce; Kanye recently revealed that Bey records music with a photo of his wife Kim Kardashian in the room.

She's got one less problem without "Ew!"

Ariana Grande joined Jimmy Fallon, aka Sara (without an H because H's are ew), as the latest BFF on "Ew!" this Friday, and she just couldn't keep it together. But to be honest, can you blame her?

The sketch was full of ridiculous moments that put it up there with some of Fallon's other great BFF visits, including Taylor Swift and Zac Efron.

The singer nearly made it through the skit. Grande did a hilarious sing-off, there was a crazy intrusion from Sara's stepdad, Gary, and more ridiculous antics until finally came the "Ew Speed Round."

This is the part where she breaks up, and she can't resist it no more.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.

With the addition of this Dion impression, don't be surprised if your heart can't go on right away.

Zoe Kravitz's Beautiful Box Braids & More Celebrity Beauty Looks We Loved This Week

You have to appreciate Zoe Kravitz for resisting society's standards of beauty.

The 26-year-old attended the New York City premiere for "The Divergent Series: Insurgent" sporting waist-length box braids and seriously glowing skin. Blessed with good genes from her parents Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, Zoe doesn't need to pile on tons of makeup or undergo some dramatic hair transformation to get noticed. She turns heads by simply being her true and eccentric self.

Bask in the natural beauty that is Zoe Kravitz below and see which other celebrities' looks we can't stop talking about.

Zoe Kravitz

zoe kravitz

It's time we simply refer to this young star's look as "Zoe" because only she can accentuate long braids and a luminous complexion with an elastic ribbon choker.

Keri Russell

keri russell

"The American" leading lady looks photoshoot-fresh with her casual waves, smokey eye makeup and matte pink lipstick. And she's wearing a blazer and T-shirt, people!

Rihanna

Riri's ponytail (and baby hairs) game was on-point as she made the promo rounds for her latest film "Home." She kept her makeup soft and simple with well-groomed brows and glossy pink lips.

Rose Byrne

rose byrne
There's so much we love about this look that we don't know where to start! From Byrne's textured, ombré bob and berry-stained lips to her cherry red manicure that pops against her mustard blazer, this lady means serious beauty business.

Julianne Hough

julianne hough

It's pretty hard to pull off ice blonde hair color if you are fair-skinned like Hough. But the 26-year-old triple threat makes it look effortless by warming up her complexion with metallic gold eyeshadow, bronzer and rose lipstick.

Hannah Bronfman

hannah bronfman

No doubt Bronfman's fit lifestyle attributes to her healthy-looking hair and flawless skin. We love how she highlighted her features with bold brows and cat-eye liner.

Call us biased, but we think the '90s gave birth to some of the coolest trends around. Fast forward to today, and they're still kicking. Everyone from high schoolers to fashion editors are now rocking crop tops, choker necklaces and septum rings.

While some things are better left in the past -- here's looking at you, slap bracelets and butterfly clips-- seeing these throwback photos of Reese Witherspoon make us miss the cool and carefree style of that decade.

The actress looks like your typical teenage mall rat in a sleeveless black turtleneck, polka dot mini skirt, knee-high black boots and burgundy lipstick at the launch party for her 1996 film "Freeway."

Though Witherspoon probably won't want to trade her red carpet dresses for this super casual look, the below images should reassure the star that she's aging gracefully.
