Ed Sheeran tells Rolling Stone magazine that he has an interesting approach to songwriting. “I picture every song I write as the first song I've ever written and the last son I'll ever write.

Post Malone tells Rolling Stone magazine that being a father has put life into perspective. “Having a baby really put a lot into perspective, and it’s really slowed me down a lot, party-wise, going out and being crazy.

A source tells the magazine that her husband, Sam, doesn't think she's ready to have another child. “The truth is, Sam doesn’t think Britney’s in any fit state to be raising a kid, and he’s saying there’s no rush and reminding her surrogacy is as good an option as any, but Britney wants to be a mom again so badly. She feels the solution is to have another child. It’s all she wants. Her clock is ticking and it’s very loud.”
Variety magazine says two Barbie sequels may be in the works. Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz says, “At the outset, we’re not saying, ‘Okay, let’s think already about movie two and three.’ Let’s get the first one right and make that a success. And if you do that, opportunities open up very quickly, once you establish the first movie as a successful representation of a franchise on the big screen. Successful movies lend themselves to more movies. Our ambition is to create film franchises.”

It's just I've used my body so bad. The last 10 or 12 years, I've had 25 surgeries. It's kind of weird because I when I went to do 'Rocky III' when my mother was still alive, if she would come to by house, she'd go, 'Yo T, come over here, the first thing I wanna do is measure you!' That's what she did to me before I went to do the 'Rocky' movie, I was 335 lbs, I was six foot seven on the nose.

Barbie Movie New Litmus Test For Boyfriends

She says, “It’s like the new question on a first date or your dating profile: ‘What are your thoughts on the Barbie movie?’ Because if a guy really doesn’t want to see it or he’s not open to talking about it or, what’s even worse yet, if he’s seen it and he thinks it’s not a good movie or he doesn’t get the point, I think it’s kind of a no-go.”

Dear Fonseca,
I have been vindicated by Kristen Bell. For the last two years, my friends, family and strangers have criticized me for allowing my 10 year-old son to drink non-alcoholic beer. I allow him to drink it at home and at restaurants that will serve it to him. I saw a video of Kristen telling Kelly Clarkson that she allows her kids to drink non-alcoholic beer too. Everyone says I'm crazy and a bad mother because the fake beer will lead to my child drinking real beer. I disagree. My son likes the taste and doesn't care if the beer has alcohol or not. I would rather him drink it in front of me than somewhere else because I can monitor him. Are Kristen and I crazy and bad mothers OR smart because we control what our children drink?
