Neil Patrick Harris is such a tease! The 37-year-old How I Met Your Mother actor -- who recently announced he'll be expecting twins with partner David Burtka - hinted he would share the name of his children Saturday. "Hey there, Twitterland. As you followers have been so nice to me, I thought I'd return the favor with a scoop: we've decided to name our tw," he wrote, purposely cutting off the message.
Seriously, does it get any cuter than this? Sporting denim overalls, cute pink shoes, and a giant smile, Seraphina Affleck was spotted enjoying some quality time with her daddy Ben Affleck after visiting New York's City Treehouse - a children's play and learning center -- on Sunday. Also along for the field trip were Sera's mom Jennifer Garner and the couple's oldest daughter Violet.
It was quite an educational weekend for the Garner-Affleck kids. Ben and Jen took Violet, 4, and Seraphina, 19 months, to the Children's Museum on the Upper West Side on Friday, and Sunday's visit to the City Treehouse in Chelsea offered lots of educational activities for the girls as well. Plus, the play center has the largest indoor water play area in New York City, a secret star cave, and a two-story treehouse hideout. Fun!
Mike Sorrentino should change his name to "The Corporation."
As the second season of MTV's pop-culture phenomenon "Jersey Shore" gobbles up the biggest ratings the network has seen in seven years, breakout star Sorrentino (a.k.a. The Situation) is astutely capitalizing on his fame. By year's end, the 29-year-old stands to earn more than $5 million, a source familiar with his finances told The Hollywood Reporter.
"We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike's way," said Sorrentino's manager, Mike Petolino of Gotham Entertainment. "He has been able to secure many endorsement deals, business opportunities and additional television offers based on the success of the show. Our goal has always been to try to build a brand if the situation presented itself."
Indeed, The Situation presented itself.
The reality star, who has 175,000 Twitter followers and has spawned an endless barrage of "Situation"-related puns, never has been afraid of exposure, especially on a series in which viewers would be hard-pressed to find an episode where Sorrentino doesn't take off his shirt. No word on whether all the extra activity will conflict with his "GTL" (Sorrentino has become synonymous with the "Shore's" catchphrase, which stands for gym, tanning, and laundry).
Oprah Winfrey takes back her crown while pop chart phenomenon Lady Gaga catapults to No. 4 on this year's ranking of the richest and most powerful actors, actresses and musicians.
We are kinda disappointed. ..Wheres the Kardashians? As well as Paris Hilton? They SHOULD be on that list too.
Tiger woods divorce is final.
A statement posted Monday on his website reads: "We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us. Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
Woods and Elin have mostly spent this year apart. She hasn't been to any of his "comeback games," instead traveling to her native Sweden (where she is rumored to be moving) and China with the children. On June 26, they reunited for the first time for their daughter Sam's belated third birthday party near the Windermere, Fla. mansion they once shared.
After spending the spring shooting The Tourist in Venice, Italy, Angelina Jolie will go before the cameras this fall in another European locale: Sarajevo, Bosnia.
The as-yet untitled flick is a romance set against the 1992-1995 Bosnian War, Reuters reports; Jolie, 35, will play one half of a couple that meets just before the savage war begins.
"The film is a love story, not a political statement," Jolie said in a statement issue by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for which the star is goodwill ambassador.
The mother of six made a surprise visit to the Eastern European nation on Saturday, meeting with various leaders there to discuss the plight of returning war refugees.
Jolie added that she wants the film's cast to include actors of all ethnicities from the country formerly known as Yugoslavia.
"I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can," she said.
No word on whether Jolie's famous children or beau, Brad Pitt, will reside with her in Sarajevo during filming.
Although she's been promoting her film Salt across the world, Jolie has been on a break from film work since Tourist wrapped; Pitt is currently filming Moneyball in Los Angeles.
At Saturday's Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris both grabbed trophies.
White, 88, won her sixth Emmy for her instantly-classic guest-hosting stint on Saturday Night Live. The busy star wasn't on hand to accept her award.
Harris, 37, picked up not one but two Emmys: for his recent turn hosting the Tony Awards, and for his guest-starring appearance on Glee.
During his acceptance speech for his hosting triumph, Harris thanked his longtime partner David Burtka; the couple is expecting twins via surrogate, due this fall.
Other winners included Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution (best reality series) and Survivor's Jeff Probst (best reality-show host).
The Prime Time Emmys get underway next Sunday.
