Kimberly Stewart takes her daughter Delilah del Toro for lunch with Jack Osbourne

Kimberly Stewart stepped out this weekend with her baby girl, Delilah del Toro. Delilah’s dad is Benicio del Toro. Do you think it’s odd that Kimberly kept Benicio’s last name for her daughter – considering the two aren’t a couple (and weren’t the entire time she was pregnant)? I think it’s a little odd. Also a little strange is the fact that she was taking her daughter for lunch with her ex-boyfriend, Jack Osbourne. I guess nothing is considered weird anymore in Hollywood.

Considering Jack’s about to become a father himself, maybe the two have more in common.

He is about to become a father for the first time after announcing that his fiancee Lisa Stelly is pregnant with their child back in October. So it’s not surprising that 25-year-old Jack Osbourne is seeking as much advice as he can about parenthood. And it appears the reality star has turned to his friend and former flame Kimberly Stewart for some tips.

Kimberly, 32, of course, gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Delilah back in August. Delilah’s father is Hollywood actor Benicio Del Toro, whom Kimberly fell pregnant too after the pair had a short romance last year.

Jack dined with Rod Stewart’s daughter and her three-month-old bundle of joy at Toast cafe in Los Angeles. The former couple sat side-by-side at their table, with Kimberly nursing the adorable tot in a baby carrier strapped to her front.

Little Delilah slept like an angel and kept snug in a tiny pink beanie, as the former couple caught up and no doubt talked all things babies. Jack and Kimberley dated in 2003 until 2004, but the couple continued to remain close friends.

Kimberly, who used to be known as one of Hollywood’s most notorious party girls has since done a complete 360 since the arrival of Delilah by relishing in her new role as a doting mother. The statuesque blonde also appears to have shed all of her baby weight, looking super slim in a pair of ripped denim jeans, which she paired with a black woolen coat.

Despite Benecio, 44, and Kimberly splitting soon after Delilah was conceived, the actor is determined to be a prominent part of the little girl’s life.

Kimberly told Hello! magazine: ‘The whole family, including Benicio, was at the hospital and my mom and Benicio were in the delivery room with me. Benicio’s very involved; he and Delilah have a very special bond.’

Kimberly admitted she had named her daughter after Tom Jones’s 1968 song Delilah.

She enthused: ‘I named her after the Tom Jones song, as I’d always loved that. She definitely looks like her dad, but she has my legs and eye colour.’

Either way – baby Delilah is adorable!

Angelina Jolie opens up in this week’s Newsweek

Angelina Jolie graces the cover of this week’s Newsweek Magazine. In the article, Angelina opens up about her humanitarian work, and her new movie which she wrote and directed.

Jolie‘s approach to her humanitarian work: “When I go somewhere, I am always willing to learn about it. I get briefings, I read books, I talk to people,” she said. “But mainly I try to go somewhere to bring awareness, to come home and pick up the phone and call someone and try to get something done.”

She brings the same approach to filmmaking: She told me that when it came to the technicalities of making a film, “I wasn’t afraid to ask the DP [director of photography]. And I listened to my cast, most of whom lived through the war. I listened to their stories and tried to incorporate it into the work.”

Lack of real-time awareness of the Bosnian War: How could a woman who was only 17 when the conflict in Bosnia erupted in April 1992 have so perfectly captured the horror of a war that focused largely on indiscriminate and brutal attacks on civilians? She is honest when she says, “At the time, I had no idea of the extent of the agony.” But her work as an ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees exposed her to the plight of the Bosnian civilians and how the aftermath lingers on. The women who were raped in the infamous eastern Bosnian “rape camps” are still suffering from the emotional and traumatic fallout; it was an especially sensitive point for her.

No offense: “The people felt as though the world had forgotten them,” Jolie said. “It was a time of great pain, and I wanted to depict how courageous people were—without offending anyone.” The Bosnians desperately wanted help, from anywhere, anyone—but no one came. Even now, too few people know what happened there. Perhaps it takes the star power of someone like Jolie to remind them of this incredibly complex, bloody conflict. “It was made to remind everybody of the war—but only a small group of people will really understand,” she admitted.

The film is partially improvised: “It was half script, half improvisation,” Jolie said of some of the scenes, and she relied heavily on local staff. “The white shirt that the leading character wears throughout,” she mused at one point. “It stayed white through the rape-camp scenes—and it bothered me. We kept talking about that white shirt.” She also shows characters longing for food, for contact with the outside world, for books, cinema, poetry—all the things that existed before the war.

Writing the script: These journeys gave Jolie the experience to write the script for In the Land of Blood and Honey, which took “about a month, then it went through a lot of revisions, Brad read it, people read it,” but the actual technicalities of directing must have been daunting.

Approaching filmmaking like a UNHCR mission: There is no red carpet in Libya or Sudan. She still packs her own flashlights, notebooks, and waterproof gear. She made Blood and Honey with $13 million and a lot of humility. She approached it the way she does her job for UNHCR, like a student. “When I go on a field mission, I get multiple briefings, including from the CFR [Council on Foreign Relations],” she said. “And I took a course on international law. So I did the same thing I did with missions. I studied.” For the film, she “read a lot of books about the war. I talked to a lot of people, I watched, I listened. I just wanted to tell the real story.” She repeated what she has said several times: “I wanted to be respectful of people.” If she did not know something, “I asked.”

About her kids: During dinner, she talked with love and passion of her family, how she is educating them in their own languages and cultures, how she loves to fly around the world but how hard it is to be separated from them when she is away. She talked of how someone “who never was a babysitter” knew how to take care of Maddox as a 27-year-old single mother. “I didn’t know whether to give one bottle or 30 bottles,” she says, laughing, of her son’s infant days. “I called my mother.”

Angelina on her mom: “Her goodness had a huge impact on me,” she said. “Sometimes I go into hotels now and bellboys ask me about her. My mother used to write them notes when their children were born or christened. She was just that sort of person—everyone loved her.”

Brooke Mueller arrested in Aspen!

Charlie Sheen’s troubled ex-wife was arrested for cocaine possession with the intent to distribute while vacationing in Aspen.

Brooke Mueller is just as big of (if not bigger) mess than her ex-husband Charlie Sheen. Whenever on TV or doing interviews, she looks like a complete mess. Which is so heartbreaking to me, considering she’s raising two young boys.

Early Saturday morning Brooke was arrested in Aspen, Colorado, for possession of cocaine.

Brooke Mueller was arrested while vacationing in Aspen, Colorado for felony cocaine possession with the intention to distribute early Saturday morning.

In a statement released by the Aspen Police Department, Charlie Sheen’s ex, 34, was also busted for a misdemeanor 3rd degree assault charge.

The mom of 2-year-old twin sons Bob and Max was released from Pitkin County Jail Saturday morning when she posted the $11,000 bond. Mueller has a District Court date of December 19.

On Christmas day in 2009, Sheen, 46, allegedly held a knife to Mueller’s throat and threatened to kill her. He later pled guilty on lesser charges and spent time in rehab, not jail. Since the incident, the two had lived apart, although their divorce wasn’t officially granted until this past May.

A source told Us Weekly in August that the parents have been “getting counseling and therapy [with] the boys” and Mueller, who has struggled with substance addiction, is “actually responding to treatment.”

According to Radar, a woman claimed that Brooke came up to her at Belly Up Aspen, a nightclub. The woman told police she was assaulted by Brooke, who by then had moved on to another Aspen club. Police arrested her, and charged her with “assault in the third degree (class one misdemeanor) and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute (class four felony).” And Radar’s source says, “How do you help someone like Brooke? Her parents even moved to Los Angeles to take care of her and help her take care of her kids, and that didn’t even help. With this latest development, her friends are beyond caring anymore.”

So sad! I really hope she gets her life together, for her boys.

Taylor Swift arrived at the Billboard Women in Music luncheon where was honored as Billboard’s Woman of the Year in New York

Last week Taylor Swift debuted her newer, more mature hair cut. What do you think of her new look? Anyway Taylor showed off her new look last Friday by attending the Billboard Women in Music Luncheon. Swift was being honored as Artist of the Year. She opened up with Stylist about why she chose to change her hair.

Stylelist: How did you decide to cut your hair?
I was on a photoshoot and they wanted to do, like, clip-in bangs and straighten my hair. I just said, ‘Why don’t you just cut them?’ They did.

Is it hard to have bangs with curly hair?
It’s actually not. I think I can figure out a way to incorporate them, I was playing around with it in my hotel room and I think that it might work both ways, but we’ll see. It’s just fun to play around with your hair and change it up. I never change it up, so this is nice.

What inspired your transformation?
I wanted to change my look a little bit and I’ve loved the way that bangs look on other people. I always seem to want to straighten my hair in the winter. And I think I just decided to go a step further this time.

How does your style routine generally change in the winter?
I usually wear more jeans. Spring and summer, I’m usually all dresses and skirts, so winter is like jeans, leggings, tights, dresses, dark colors and straight hair.

Are there any pieces in particular you’ve invested in for winter?
I’ve gotten a lot of Rugby and Ralph Lauren stuff because I think it looks very winter-y and Christmas-y, so that’s been stuff I really liked getting.

What’s your go-to New Year’s Eve outfit, hair and makeup?
It would probably be some sort of sparkly dress and straight hair and maybe a bold smoky eye and a nude lip.

What do you think of her look? Love it or hate it?

PS: The dress is Oscar de la Renta.

Jennifer Hudson Purchases $6 Million Chicago Mansion

 

Jennifer Hudson may by slimming down her figure but she surely is beefing up her digs. The award-winning singer and actress just made the purchase of a lifetime: a nearly $6million, 12,000 square foot, six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion in the suburbs of her hometown of Chicago.

The property also features:

“…a heated garage, a theatre and two laundry rooms, according to Zillow.com.

“It also comes with a luxurious kitchen space, a finished walk-out basement and cherry hardwood floors. There is also a large dining area, big lounge, a music room with grand piano and a games room.”

I think that will be certainly enough space for the singer, her fiance David Otunga and their 2-year-old son, David Jr. It was only three years ago that Jennifer experienced the greatest tragedy of her life when her mother, brother, and nephew were all gunned down at her mother’s home in Chicago. Her sister’s estranged husband is now awaiting trial for the deaths of all three family members.

Taylor Swift is as Romantic As You Think She Is

Taylor Swift pens romantic love songs that have set many tweens hearts on fire, and when the 21-year-old pop country star was asked how she comes up with inspiration behind of her favorite hits, she answered just as fluffy as you would think.

“Usually songs hit me in the middle of the night and I end up writing [them] before dawn, so there’s no time to call somebody.”

“Writing my own songs was a way for me to create what I wanted to create and music about my life.”

“In that way it kind of became a diary put to music every time I put out a new record.”

Does anyone else feel all gushy inside?
