Reese Witherspoon’s children are very close


Reese Witherspoon's older children are "so in love" with her two-year-old son, Tennessee.
The 'Wild' star insists there is no sibling rivalry between her daughter Ava, 15, and son Deacon, 11, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe and her youngest son with husband Jim Toth, as they're helping her to raise him.
She said: "It's kinda great because my older kids are just so in love with their baby brother and help out so much. It's kind of like having this big extended family.
"We always talk about in our house, the more people that love you, the better your life is. I love it."
Asked what it's like being a mother to a teenager and a toddler at the same time, the 38-year-old Oscar winner told the 'Today' show: "It's interesting. Two different things are happening all the time."
The blonde beauty appears naked in 'Wild' - which is based on Cheryl Strayed's memoir about quitting heroin addiction with a gruelling 100-day hike - and previously admitted her daughter was both uncomfortable and proud of her performance.
Asked if Ava would watch the movie, she said: "Yeah, we talked about it. I said, 'Ava, I've got to tell you something, I'm naked in the movie, OK, lemme explain!' She's like, 'Mom, that's so weird!'
"I was like, 'I had to be brave and I couldn't just play the parts I was comfortable with. Cause Cheryl was brave enough to tell her whole story so I had to tell the parts that even I was scared to do.' She's proud of me."

Anna Faris doesn’t want son to act


Anna Faris doesn't want her son to become an actor.
The 38-year-old actress, who is married to 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Chris Pratt, admits she doesn't want their two-year-old Jack to follow in their footsteps because she thinks he's too smart for Hollywood.
She said: "[I] want him to be an environmental scientist."
But Anna is thrilled Jack is starting to become aware of her work.
She said: "[He's] been recognising [me] if I'm in something on TV. He's starting to understand."
The blonde beauty is set to co-host the 40th annual People's Choice Awards with her 'Mom' co-star Allison Janney next Wednesday (14.01.15) and admits she will probably be dateless for the evening because Jack, who was born nine weeks premature resulting in the couple being told he might have special needs, is scheduled to undergo surgery the next day to correct his sight.
She told PEOPLE.com: "My son is having eye surgery the next morning, so we'll see what happens, [Chris] may come, but he may not."
Anna is very nervous about the event, but admits she has a great support system.
She said: "I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful child and a great job, an amazing costar.
"There's gonna be fear behind these eyes on the day I'm up there on stage. I'm gonna try to hide it. There's gonna be some fear!"

Angelina Jolie arrives in Italy to meet Pope Francis


Angelina Jolie has flown to Italy to meet Pope Francis.
The 'Maleficent' actress was spotted with her daughters Shiloh, eight, and Zahara, nine, at Ciampino International Airport in Rome today (07.01.15) amid speculation she and husband Brad Pitt are set to have "a VIP meet-and-greet at the Vatican with Pope Francis" this week.
The duo's head of security is said to have arrived in the city to begin preparations for their arrival a few days ago.
A source close to the couple, who consider themselves non-religious, told Us Weekly magazine that the 39-year-old beauty and the 51-year-old actor both "admire the Pope" and "like the Pope's message."
Pope Francis has been praised for being more tolerant than his predecessors. When asked about views on homosexuality last year, he said: "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?"
'Fury' star Brad was raised a Baptist, but previously admitted he didn't "have a great relationship with religion."
He said: "I oscillate between agnosticism and atheism."
But Angelina recently revealed she is very spiritual.
She said: "I don't know if there's a name for that - religion or faith - just that there's something greater than all of us, and it's uniting and beautiful."

Liam Neeson is ‘incredibly protective’


Liam Neeson is "incredibly protective" of Maggie Grace.
The 'Taken 3' actress, who previously dated Ian Somerholder and entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie, admits her 62-year-old co-star once called one of ex-boyfriends to confront him about hurting her feelings.
She said: "There was this boy who had really hurt my feelings and was kind of being a hot mess, and Liam was just like, 'Let's set this kid straight.'
"It was great."
Her former beau had "not much" to say after Liam told him to stop messing with her emotions.
After being shown a clip of Liam's infamous speech in the first 'Taken' thriller, in which he threatens to hunt down and kill his daughter's kidnappers, Maggie jokingly added: "You would think this [clip] kept me shocking single all of the time.
"My man now is just so good to me because look at what hangs in the balance. You know at any point [I could call Liam]. I should call Liam when I get parking tickets, anything... I should be like, 'Liam, could you...' "
Asked what it's like to work with the Northern Irish star, the 31-year-old actress told the 'Today' show: "He's just incredibly protective and lovely, and has a really weird sense of humour."

Tallulah Willis is ‘starting to feel OK’


Tallulah Willis is "starting to feel OK" about herself after seeking treatment in rehab.
The 20-year-old star, who was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder when she was 13, checked into a treatment facility for 45 days in late July to battle depression and drugs after her sister Scout Willis, 23, "forced me to see what I was doing."
Asked why she decided to seek help, the fashion blogger, who is Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's youngest daughter, said: "There wasn't a huge, horrible moment, but I knew I needed to go take care of myself."
Tallulah became her "own worst critic" when she entered her teens.
She told the February issue of Teen Vogue magazine: "I recall very specifically I was in a New York hotel room when I was 13 (before social media was such a huge thing), looking at a photo of myself online. I broke down in tears as I started to read the comments. I thought, I am a hideous, disgusting-looking person. I might be nice and I might be kind, but I'm a really unattractive human being.
"In that moment, a switch flipped. It wasn't about the anonymous cyberbullies--I became my own worst critic."
The blonde beauty started abusing drugs when her "depression became overwhelming" in college.
She said: "I was so removed from my body and from my mind that it was like I was living in a cardboard replica of what life should be. Not even so much because I was doing drugs but because I was so sad and so unhappy."
While Tallulah is on the road to recovery, she admits it isn't easy.
She explained: "It's not night and day--it's not like now I completely love myself and I have no problems. That isn't how it works. But there are the starting points of that, and that's really exciting. I'm growing every day and breaking old patterns."

Lena Dunham says date-rape criticism was very painful


Lena Dunham found it "very very painful" to be criticised for revealing she was date-raped.
The 'Girls' star admits she was devastated when people "attempted to discredit" her story after she opened up about the horrifying incident in her memoir, 'Not That Kind of Girl,' last year, but believes she received more support than most victims because she's famous.
The 28-year-old actress told the 'Today' show: "It's a very very painful thing to share an episode that personal and receive criticism, but what I received was only a small percentage of the doubt and victim-blaming that most women who are sexually assaulted in this country experience. I am a celebrity with a platform and a lot of incredible support.
"Most women who come forward with accusations of sexual assault don't have those benefits.
"[They] don't have my legal and emotional and financial supports, and so for me I really feel like it enhanced my understanding of the cause and hopefully will make me a better advocate and activist in the future."
Lena previously confessed she was initially "terrified" of sharing details about the assault in her book, but also found it therapeutic.
She said: "I spent so much time ashamed, I don't feel that way anymore. And it's not because of my job, it's not because of my boyfriend, it's not because of feminism -- though all those things helped -- it's because I told the story. And I still feel like myself and I feel less alone."

Jennifer Aniston almost drowned


Jennifer Aniston almost drowned when she was a child.
The 'Cake' star, who is engaged to the 'Leftovers' star Justin Theroux, has revealed she developed a deep fear of being underwater after she crashed her tricycle into a swimming pool when she was younger.
She said: "I basically have a real fear of going underwater. I was a kid and I was riding this tricycle around a swimming pool and I drove my tricycle into the swimming pool and I didn't let go and my brother tried to [help me]. So, I can't go underwater and no one will believe me. I honestly can't."
The 45-year-old actress' phobia made filming some scenes in her new movie, in which she plays a woman who suffers from chronic pain and a prescription painkiller addiction after surviving an accident, extremely difficult because her character undergoes water therapy and she was forced to shoot one scene in a swimming pool 30 times, according to E! News.
The former 'Friends' star is tipped to be nominated for an Oscar for her performance in the gritty film, which was something she had been "dying to do for years."
She said: "It's like a catch-22. It's you know, 'Please let me play this part. I know I can do it.' But then they won't give you the part because they don't know if you could do it.
"So, it's hard. You have to just wait for that wonderful brave human being who sort of says, 'This is interesting to me and all of us to take [the] risk and be bold.' "

Jessica Simpson has ‘a very healthy sex life’


Jessica Simpson has "always had a very healthy sex life" with her husband.
The Weight Watchers ambassador, who has two children, Maxwell, two, and Ace, 18-months, with husband Eric Johnson, says he even made her feel very sexy when she gained 70 pounds during her pregnancies.
The 34-year-old singer said: "My husband and I were looking at old pictures recently, and I asked him, 'Babe, why didn't you tell me to put the brownie down?' He said, 'You looked great.' He's always loved every curve on my body. And we've always had a healthy sex life."
Despite being happy with her curvier figure, Jessica, who was previously married to Nick Lachey, decided to lose weight because she wanted to "look healthy" on her wedding day last July.
She explained: "I worked really hard because I wanted to appreciate being in a wedding gown again. I wanted to enjoy it like I did the first time. But I didn't have a weight goal; I just wanted to look healthy."
The blonde beauty now maintains her trim figure by exercising five times a week and admits she is unlikely to have any more children.
Asked if she is planning to have another baby, she told the January issue of InStyle magazine: "I don't think so. Having two kids back-to-back was hard on my body. But if I do have more, I wouldn't want them to read this and think they weren't wanted!"

Marilyn Manson has sex with underwear on


Marilyn Manson has sex a minimum of five times a day in the dark but refuses to take his underwear off in case there's a fire in the house.
The 46-year-old singer insists on the lights being switched off when he is engaging in the act of "sexual congress" with his girlfriend, photographer Lindsay Usich, because he is "shy" but loves to spend the day in bed with her and they recently set a new record by having sex 10 times in one day.
He said: "I'm just really shy, despite what you'd imagine. I have a phobia that the house is going to catch fire, and I don't want to be naked."
The 'Rock is Dead' hitmaker always has his bedroom temperate set at 65 degrees Fahrenheit and insists on having black bed sheets, and, like his bed linen, he loves to wear dark underwear which his 30-year-old girlfriend regularly flashes a UV torch onto to check whether or not he has been unfaithful to her.
Marilyn - who previously dated actresses Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood, porn star Jenna Jameson, and was married to burlesque queen Dita Von Teese for just over a year - added to Rolling Stone magazine: "I have a blacklight flashlight at home, which will show if sperm is on anything, and Lindsay has used it on my underwear to see if I'd done something naughty when I was out.
"I said, 'Fooled you. I might have changed my underwear. How do you know that I didn't?' She goes, 'Because you don't change your underwear.' I said, 'That is true. Good answer. Good answer.' "
