High-waisted elastic jeans give "mommy style" a bad rap, but what else changes when we have a baby? A new study from the U.K. shows that a whopping 78 percent of moms change the way they dress after they have their first child.

How your style changes

Two thousand moms were interviewed in the streets of the U.K. and via online poll at Shoe Zone to find out what has changed for them, fashion-wise, and why they ditched their familiar beauty routines. They found that 40 percent of the moms polled said that, on average, their heel height dropped by two inches. Eighteen percent cut their hair into a no-fuss bob, and seven percent stopped coloring their hair.

The top reason? Over 50 percent reported that as moms, they have no more time for fashion. Other reasons cited were speed and comfort as well as fitting in with other moms and even looking the part.

Specific mommy style choices

Moms also feel pressure to drop some elements of their previous style, such as short skirts, skinny jeans, crop tops and bikinis, saying that as soon as they became a mom, these types of clothes were relegated to the donation bin.

However, not all moms keep these changes for good — most moms said they abandoned the mommy uniform when their children reached, on average, 3 years and 9 months of age. The reasons? Nearly 30 percent said they missed their old clothes, 22 percent were fed up looking like a mommy, 21 percent changed their styles when they returned to work, and 17 percent said they missed their high heels.

It looks like Brandy is single once again. The singer has been unlucky in love so far, and it looks like her relationship with Ryan Press is no different. She has reportedly called off her engagement to the music exec.

Brandy performs to an empty stadium in South Africa >>

"They are no longer together. The engagement is off, but the friendship is still on," Brandy's rep told Us Weekly.

The couple became engaged in December 2012, but there didn't appear to be any movement toward an actual marriage. According to her rep, the breakup may have more to do with Brandy's need to find herself than any downfall of the actual relationship.

"They decided to take a step back and reevaluate the relationship," the rep said. "Brandy is 35 now — that's what her whole #35 on Twitter is about, becoming her own woman."

The broken engagement isn't big news to anyone who has been following Brandy — she showed up to the NAACP Image Awards last month without her engagement ring, and again at her birthday party, according to the Los Angeles Times. The marriage would have been the first for Brandy, although she does have an 11-year-old daughter with her ex Robert Smith, a music producer.

Brandy wants to be Whitney Houston >>

Her rep added that she is still hoping to find the right one, and to get married and have more kids.

"But she is working on so many other things right now," the rep said. "[Brandy and Press] haven't ended things on a bad note and they still speak all the time."

Brandy's fans may be able to hear more about the breakup — and possible turmoil leading up to it — on the singer's new album. She recently told VH1, "It's going to be a very personal album for me. This album is just special for the whole therapy thing. I sing about my life and a lot of the things that I've been going through lately."

Nothing says brunch like eggs Benedict. The perfectly poached eggs with the runny centers, set atop a classic English muffin and Canadian ham, all topped with creamy hollandaise sauce, make for a dreamy way to start the day. Change things up with these creative adaptations of the traditional brunch recipe.

What do you think, Mom? Do I look like the real deal... or at least close?

As if the haircut wasn't bad enough, she has to do this to me.

Is that a carrot I see? If so, it would be safer if you set it down on the bed before I pounce you for it.

If my mama didn't feed me, this would not be happening. OK, maybe it would.

Do you think the kids will notice the black fur... or the bark?

Is it a bunny or a donkey? No one can tell for sure, not even me.

I may be miserable, but at least I'm warm... and cute.

Best day ever! Somebody pinch me, I think I'm dreaming.

Do the ears make me look fat?

What, I'm not a rabbit. Wait, I'm so confused.

Everyone knows that style-scoping is as much (if not more) important than catching the actual bands at the Coachella Music Festival.

Festival-goers spend weeks deciding on the prefect duds that will embody their eclectic mix of up-to-the-minute trendiness and laid-back hipster aloofness.

It's not an easy style to nail, and no one does it better than the celebrities. This year we got inside access at all of the weekend's hottest parties to bring you the top celebrity styles seen at Coachella.

Fedoras & denim

Katy Perry was captured in a very random embrace with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, wearing an adorable pink straw fedora at the Lacoste Beautiful Desert Pool Party on Saturday.

The singer offset her demure hat with trendsetting cat-eyed sunnies and bright green hair.

Also rocking the classically cool headgear was actress Julianne Hough, who went a more chill route with a soft pink tie-dyed tank top and long denim shorts.

We must say it was refreshing to see Hough choosing not to embrace the whole “denim-underwear” trend that's so widely accepted at the festival.

Photo credit: Joe Scarnici/Getty Images Entertainment

Actress Jenna Malone went one step further, mixing the two popular trends (denim and fedoras) with one more recent runway favorite: tartan. While this would usually be pushing it as far as style-stuffing goes, we think she pulled it off nicely.

Another gal who opted for a grown-up denim look was style star Louise Roe, who paired her frayed blue jean shorts with a button-up denim shirt at Kari Feinstein's Music Festival Style Lounge over at the La Quinta Resort in Indio.

Roe was rocking “just rolled out of bed” waves with a pair of cool bright blue slip-ons. Very concert chic.

The most understated look of the day went to Emma Roberts, who paired an un-frayed, cuffed and appropriate-length pair of denim shorts with a preppy tank top polo. Her Aunt Julia would be proud.

Leather

Staying warm was many celebs' main priority as the temps in the desert dropped each evening.

Celebrities like Carmen Electra and Kelly Osbourne were both snapped wearing full-on leather jackets to face the cold at the Neon Carnival with Guess, presented by Nylon and Olay Fresh Effects.

While Osbourne opted for basic black, Electra embraced the event's name in a bright blue jacket. For further armor she wore a hoodie underneath and black biker gloves.

Funky accessories

Another day, another funky outfit for Katy Perry.

Perry was spotted wearing some eye-popping accessories with friend DJ Mia Moretti.

Back at day two of the Lacoste party, Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Kendall Jenner shocked us with a large gold hoop nose ring, attached to her ear.

Paired with a turban and flower-framed sunglasses, this look was far from the innocent image of Kendall's early days.

But the craziest accessories of the weekend were seen on Lady Victoria Hervey. The U.K. model and pal of Lindsay Lohan decided to wear a pink unicorn backpack and multicolored knee-high fur boots to the Neon Carnival.

This choice was a little surprising from the usually stylish socialite. Hey, at least she was warm.

Think your kids aren't paying attention to how you drive? Think again. According to a January 2014 study conducted by Travelers, teens who report their parents are not good driving role models are more than twice as likely to be involved in an accident and more than twice as likely to have been issued more than one ticket for speeding or another moving violation. Set an example by driving safely, not speeding and never texting or talking while driving. If you're a cell-phone addict (who isn't these days?), make it a habit to turn your phone off every time you buckle up.

Safercar.gov recommends talking to kids about vehicle safety even before they reach driving age. Once they get that coveted driver's license, spell out the rules (and consequences) and consider having teen drivers sign a driving agreement. Recommended rules include:

• No cell phone
• No extra passengers
• No speeding
• No alcohol
• Always buckle up

When it comes to driving safety, tires are where the rubber meets the road. Teach your teen driver how to properly maintain tires, and give a hands-on lesson on changing a flat tire. Better yet, put a set of Bridgestone DriveGuard run-flat tires on your new driver's car, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with tires that can be driven up to 50 mph after a puncture or loss of tire pressure.

Mom and Dad are usually the ones who have to white-knuckle their way through the experience of teaching their teen to drive. But it's always a good idea to seek out a professional driving class to give teens hands-on experience learning safe driving techniques.To find a state-by-state listing of car-control driving clinics, visit Consumer Reports.

Multiple studies show that driving experience affects crash risk even more than a driver's age. Give your new driver the opportunity to practice, practice, practice. Take your teenagers to parking lots and intersecting one-way streets. Let them practice driving at night, on low-traffic roads and high-traffic intersections. Explain basic maneuvers as you go. The more experience the newbies get, the safer they'll be — and the less you'll have to worry when you're not sitting in the passenger's seat.

Is Taylor Swift finally trying to fix her bad luck with guys? The singer has reportedly made a list of requirements for any new guy that wants to date her, according to HollywoodLife.

PHOTOS: Taylor Swift attends fan's bridal shower >>

"She's made a really detailed list of what she wants," a source reportedly told the gossip site, adding the list is pretty "intense" and detailed.

The singer has been unlucky in love so far, and knows it — she is not above making fun of her bad luck. Swift has dated all different kinds of guys — including actors, musicians and even a Kennedy.

"She's all about finding a new boyfriend but she doesn't want just any guy, she wants the perfect guy. She's made a really detailed list of what she wants and it's so intense, there aren't many guys out there that can live up to it," the source added. "She wants someone on her level when it comes to their career, plus, they have to be hot — like leading-man hot. And she would love a guy that can speak at least two languages."

So far, Swift has mostly dated other successful artists, but it's not the only thing that is important to her.

"There are simple things on the list too," the source said. "She wants a guy that has at least one sister because she thinks it will make him a better boyfriend. He has to have a good relationship with his parents, especially his mom, but he can't be a mama's boy. Like I said, it is very detailed and it goes on and on. Her friends think she needs to chill. They think being so picky is just going to keep her single."

Although there is probably not much truth to the list rumors, it may not be a bad idea for Swift to be a little more picky with who she dates.

Neighbors costars Zac Efron and Halston Sage are reportedly dating after they began seeing each other while filming their new movie.

Efron may have displayed his sexy abs to all his fans at the MTV Movie Awards, but the well-sculpted hunk is reportedly off the market and in a relationship with the pretty actress, E! News reported. "They are definitely an item," a source told the site.

Pals say Zac Efron was on a drug run when he got punched >>

"They were seeing each other a bit during filming of their movie together and ever since he went to rehab they got a lot closer," the source added. "Her friends love him and say he is so sweet. He's really good to her."

Efron and Sage first made headlines when they were spotted having a blast at a Los Angeles Lakers game earlier this month. At the time, Sage was believed to still be together with Glee's Chord Overstreet, but soon after photos of her and Efron at the game came out, the former couple announced their split.

Before her relationship with Overstreet, Sage had also been linked to current Dancing With the Stars contestant James Maslow of Big Time Rush.

Though Efron and Sage might be a new couple, the High School Musical star went solo to the MTV Movie Awards. The hot actor even kissed a girl in the audience before showing off his naked chest to the crazed audience.

Efron admitted that he wouldn't have pulled off the shirt-ripping stunt on his own without the help of Rita Ora. "@RitaOra Thanks for such a bold move. I don't know if I could've done that on my own," the 26-year-old tweeted after the awards.

While the audience seemed to love it, some fans were critical of the awkward abs display. Efron himself seemed slightly uncomfortable during the ordeal, looking somewhat unsure about it. Perhaps being attached to Sage made the half-naked move less appealing.

The lunar eclipse early Tuesday morning, April 15, resulted in a rare event called the blood moon. The moon was seen across most of North America, and social media was all a-twitter over the sight. The moon appeared to be red when it passed into Earth's shadow for almost three hours very early on Tuesday (around 2 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. EST).

Miley Cyrus & Madonna: A week of Instagram celebrity trash >>

Celebs took to Twitter to share their excitement, but fans also used the opportunity to show their creativity (for lack of a better word), and one such post was about Miley Cyrus.

The singer's "Wrecking Ball" video may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it's likely to follow her around for quite a while, and may even become a regret of hers (if that is even possible).

Instagram user isramatos may win the award for best post of the night for his blood moon photoshopping of Miley Cyrus and her wrecking ball. He posted the photo along with the caption, "Miley Cyrus bring the blood moon like a wrecking ball."

Cyrus also posted to Twitter to share her thoughts on the blood moon, although nothing nearly as interesting as the fan's posting.

Although these simple slow cooker cakes take a shortcut by using a box mix, there are plenty of flavorful mix-ins to make them taste homemade. If you love cake as much as I do, you're going to love these easy desserts.

Carrot cake has always been one of my favorite cakes. We usually made it around Easter, and I would enjoy it with a giant smile on my face. It's great with cream cheese frosting, but my favorite way to top it is with Cool Whip. The perfect thing about this slow cooker carrot cake is that you can let the cake cook all day long while you are at work. Could it get any easier than that?

Serves 6

Ingredients: 

• 1 box carrot cake mix
• 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding mix
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup raisins
• Cool Whip

Directions: 

1. Spray a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, pineapple, eggs, carrots, water, yogurt, vegetable oil and raisins. Mix on low for about 3 minutes until fully incorporated.
3. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, and cook on low heat for about 5 hours until fully cooked and set in the middle.
4. When the cake is fully cooked, slice to remove it from the slow cooker, and top with Cool Whip.

This super-fresh and summery lemon cake is rich in flavor and pairs perfectly with fresh berries. I serve mine with a dollop of whipped cream and raspberries, but it would be equally delicious with any other summer berry.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 lemon, zested
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• Whipped cream
• Fresh berries

Directions:

1. Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add all the ingredients except for the whipped cream and berries, and mix on low for 2 minutes until combined. It's OK if it's a little lumpy.
3. Pour the batter into the slow cooker, and cook on high for 90 minutes until the cake is fully cooked.
4. Scoop out portions of the cake, dollop with whipped cream, and top with fresh berries.

While I love carrot cake and lemon cake, chocolate is probably hands down my favorite. I love mine topped with lots of fresh whipped cream and toasted walnuts. Trust me, this dessert is perfect for the chocolate lover.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 3-1/4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
• 1 (3.2 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
• 1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate or butterscotch chips
• Whipped cream
• Toasted walnuts

Directions:

1. Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the cake mix, 1-1/4 cups of milk, the vegetable oil and the eggs. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated. Stir in the nuts.
3. Add the mixture to the slow cooker.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until fully combined.
5. Pour over the cake mixture (don't mix), and sprinkle with chocolate or butterscotch chips.
6. Cook on high for about 3 hours until the cake is set and the pudding is bubbling.
7. Scoop out portions into bowls, and top with whipped cream and toasted walnuts.

After Khloé Kardashian posted a photo of a love poem on her Twitter and Instagram accounts, fans began to speculate if it was about her friend and possible new boyfriend, French Montana.

Khloé Kardashian Instagrams embarrassing picture of Kim >>

The tweet, which had a link to Instagram with a photo of a typewritten poem, speaks about love and healing. For Kardashian, it may relate to how she has healed from her failed marriage to Lamar Odom.

"And in the end, we were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness," the Instagrammed poem read.

The poem is actually not from a famous poet or anything, as Kardashian may have believed, but it is attributed to an avid social network user named Christopher Poindexter, who posts short verses all over the Internet. It is not clear what the little snippet of words really means, but it seems to be about new love that heals old and broken love.

Khloé really a Kardashian? Mrs. Odom's final statement >>

Since Kardashian has been spending so much time with Montana lately, it would seem fitting that the lovely poetic sentiment is directed at him. The pair has been spotted on several occasions together, including at a club outing in West Hollywood last Wednesday night, and at a restaurant on a double-date with her sister, Kourtney, and Kourtney's partner, Scott Disick.

Montana is a rapper who was born in Morocco and he is friends with Sean "Diddy" Combs and Kardashian's pal, Malika Haqq. According to the Los Angeles Times, the 29-year-old's real name is Karim Kharbouch and he is no stranger to relationship drama himself.

Khloé Kardashian explains why she hates Kim's ex >>

Kharbouch apparently has an estranged wife, Deen Kharbouch, and a 4-year-old son named Kruz. Life & Style reported that Deen helped Montana launch his career and, when he became popular, he left her and their son behind.

Way to go, Khloé; looks like she picked another winner.

Rihanna and Drake have reportedly been back together for just a couple of months and they haven't even publicly confirmed their relationship yet, but sources are saying that the two singers are in it for the long haul.

The real reason Karrueche Tran dumped Chris Brown >>

An anonymous friend of the music industry power couple told Hollywood Life that the two can't get enough of each other and they spend every waking moment together when they are both in Los Angeles. The source also claims that Rihanna's feelings for Drake are much stronger than what was ever felt for her bad-boy ex, Chris Brown.

If the two are as inseparable as their mystery friend claims, they are certainly going out of their way to make the situation appear otherwise. Just last week, they both attended the same Clippers game at the Staples Center, but they sat in totally different sections.

RiRi and Drizzy aren't willing to come right out and say that they are an exclusive item, but they have left a trail of clues and all signs are pointing to a steamy affair.

Back in September, Drake sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about past loves and, of course, the host asked about RiRi, to whom he had been previously linked in 2009. "We had our moment, and I'll always support and have love for her," he said. When asked if he would ever woo Rihanna again, he answered, "I'm not into do-overs." However, just two months later, people started spotting the superstars cozying up together once again. The two were spotted "looking like a couple" in Houston, according to a stripper working at the club where they reportedly blew $17,000 in one evening.

Then, in February, they gave a sexually-charged performance in Paris, adding even more fuel to the relationship rumors.

If Rihanna and Drake are in love, what's with all the secrecy? What do you think? Is keeping their relationship out of the public eye their way of keeping their love sacred?

Lake Bell and Tom Hardy are both flashing a fair amount of flesh on each of their Esquire magazine covers.

Posing in nothing but sheer tights, the brunette beauty opened up about her long-held passion for acting.

"I was tirelessly motivated, because I felt very clear about what I wanted to do," the 35-year-old Million Dollar Arm star confessed of her childhood ambitions to grab the spotlight.

Bell went on to explain, "I didn't fully understand what it meant to be an actor, but I knew it was someone who gets to play different characters, gets to pretend to be in different worlds, and gets to make people laugh or feel. I'm sure there was some sort of validation, where the attention is on me and I can make people laugh; that's normal kid stuff. But then it started to gestate into something more complicated and exciting and very fulfilling."

"Marriage is traditionally old-school in many respects," the newlywed also shared. "It is highly antiquated, and, that being said, beautiful."

While it's hard to look away from Bell's side-boob-baring cover, there's another star who has taken his top off for Esquire, too.

Showing off his toned physique, as well as quite a few tattoos, the 35-year-old actor downplayed his rough and tough image.

"I don't feel very manly. I don't feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how I imagine a man ought to be," Hardy explained.

"So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality. People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them. I'm not a fighter. I'm a petite little bourgeois boy from London. I don't fight, I mimic."

When asked about his supposed feud with Mad Max: Fury Road co-star, Charlize Theron, the muscly hunk shared he finds the gossip "disappointing."

Speaking of the actress, he gushed, "I think she's f***ing awesome. I think she's incredible. I think she's one of the most talented actresses of our generation. But it's very interesting, the concept of what danger is, and this has nothing to do with Charlize Theron or Mad Max, actually, but this has to do with life in general."

Their flick isn't due in theaters until 2015, but you can read more about both Hardy and Bell when the dual-cover May issue of Esquire arrives April 22.

It sounds like a pretty sure bet that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting married in or around Paris, but it's still not clear exactly where. The couple has been in the city venue-hunting in the last few days, and they may have settled on a French chateau as their venue — except it may not be an actual French chateau.

Love lessons we can all learn from Kimye (yes, we're going there) >>

The Chateau Louis XIV is located 14 miles outside Paris in Louveciennes, but according to the Daily Mail, the building is actually only six years old. It is supposed to look like a castle from the 17th century, but the 54,000-square-foot chateau looks much more like a way-too-extravagant modern building. Kardashian and West's previously-rumored wedding location was the Palace of Versailles, but this chateau seems to be the new frontrunner.

The wedding is reportedly taking place on May 24, but Kimye may run into some legal troubles. According to the Sun, to be married in France, foreigners must live in the country for 40 days before the wedding date. West previously owned a condo in the country, but the decision may end up being left to the local mayor.

Despite the grandness of the new wedding location, Kardashian has said she and West have decided on an intimate wedding.

"As we are going along, we realize we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking," she told Ryan Seacrest.

While the couple's daughter, North West, will likely be an important part of their wedding, she was not out and about with the couple on their search. She's also reportedly not invited to their honeymoon, either.

"North won't be there," a source told Us Weekly. "And Kim's not telling people where it is."

Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour has been plagued by illness, and the singer is now dealing with something else. Her Kansas City date was canceled on Tuesday, April 15, after she was taken to the hospital.

A source told E! News that the show was canceled due to "an absolutely horrible reaction" to medication. The Sprint Center released a statement to the Kansas City Star about the cancellation, which said: "Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour date scheduled for tonight, April 15, at Sprint Center in Kansas City has been canceled. Cyrus has been hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics and has been placed on medical rest by her doctors. She will not be able to perform as scheduled. Refunds for tickets will be available at the point of ticket purchase. Tickets purchased online or by phone will be automatically refunded.”

The singer has been dealing with the loss of her dog, Floyd, which has coincided with her sicknesses. It's not clear if the death had anything to do with her health issues, but it's certainly a possibility. It's also possible her busy tour schedule has left her exhausted.

The Sprint Center said Cyrus' crew began working in the arena at 5 a.m., not aware the show would be canceled. Earlier in the day, Cyrus tweeted that she had woken up sick.

The allergic reaction was enough to send Cyrus to the hospital, but the singer was obviously healthy enough to tweet to her fans.

"Kansas I promise Im as [heartbroken] as you are. I wanted so badly 2 b there 2night. Not being with yall makes me feel sh***ier than I already do," she tweeted.

She later tweeted a photo of herself in the hospital bed, looking pale but awake.

A24 Films

The official trailer for Obvious Child, a breakout hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival, has been released in anticipation of the film's June 6 opening. Featuring a standout performance by former SNL actress, Jenny Slate, the movie tells the story of comedian Donna Stern, who gets dumped, fired and pregnant just in time for the worst Valentine's Day of her life.

Writer/director Gillian Robespierre handles the topic of Donna's unwanted pregnancy with a refreshing matter-of-factness rarely seen on the screen. As to why she chose to address such a hot-button issue, Robespierre told IndieWire, "We were frustrated by the limited representations of young women onscreen and their experience with unplanned pregnancy. We were waiting to see a film in which a woman makes a different choice — and it doesn't define her life. But we weren't sure how long that wait was going to be. So we decided to make the film ourselves."

Casting Jenny Slate, whom audiences may remember for accidentally dropping an F-bomb in her debut performance on SNL, was an inspired choice. She shines as Donna Stern, an unapologetic stand-up comic who jokes about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. As she grapples with an uncertain financial future, an unwanted pregnancy and a surprising new suitor, Donna begins to discover that the most terrifying thing about adulthood isn't facing it all on her own, it's allowing herself to accept the support and love of others.

Although the film's characters are dealing with some tough decisions, Donna never fails to find the comedy and humanity in each awkward situation she encounters, keeping audiences laughing as she discovers what it means to be as brave in life as she is on stage.

Obvious Child premiered at Sundance in January and will be in theaters June 6.

Mimi Faust of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fame and her boyfriend and co-star, Nikko Smith, are the latest to bring forth to the world a sizzling sex tape. They join a long lineage of celebrity brethren, ranging from Tori Spelling to Kim Kardashian, who have footage of themselves doing the nasty, but this time, there is one thing that is not super common in the sex-tape-scandal world: Faust and Smith actually condone the release of their pornographic material.

The man behind this little gem of a video knows a thing or two about garnering attention by showing a little skin. Vivid Entertainment big cheese, Steve Hirsch, confirmed with TMZ that he stumbled upon the tape starring Faust and Smith and then contacted them for their blessing to make the tape public. Hirsch also claims the duo was more than willing to sign off on the footage, most likely in an effort to get a larger audience for the next season of their show.

So far, the publicity stunt seems to be working. Twitter is already aflutter with news of the tape and has even given birth to a new hashtag: #MimisShowerRodStrongerThan. We'll let you draw your own conclusions.

While Faust and Smith may be getting the attention they were seeking, it's possible they're entering a new realm of celebrity by showing a different side of themselves. Just ask Farrah Abraham, who originally claimed her sex tape was a "celebration" of her body, but then later claimed the film going public ruined her life.

Let's just hope the duo isn't trying to cash in on their love, because there's a large chance it won't pay off. Paris Hilton claims she never saw a penny after the release of her video, despite the tape's booming popularity.

Faust and Smith's tape is titled Mimi and Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta, and it's scheduled for release next month.

Now that the dust is starting to settle after the unexpected and horrific car accident that killed Paul Walker, filmmakers are trying to get back to business as usual as much as possible. The first area of concern, of course, is the next installation of the Fast & Furious franchise, Fast & Furious 7. Walker was about halfway done shooting the scenes at the time of his death, and many have wondered how the movie will proceed without him.

Ice Cube to Paul Walker fans: "Don't trip" over MTV Awards >>

Universal Pictures announced last month that they will be using CGI technology to fill in the actor's unfinished takes, and today they divulged on the movie's Facebook page that Walker's brothers, Cody and Caleb, will have something to do with the approach, according to the Huffington Post.

"We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul's brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our FAST family," read the statement. "Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is here with us too."

After Walker's death, it was speculated that his character would somehow be written out or killed off, but according to the Facebook announcement, production felt allowing the persona to live on would be an appropriate way to commemorate the actor.

"We are just under a year away from the release of Fast & Furious 7, and this film is the most important we've ever done together. It will allow the character of Brian O'Connor to live on and let us celebrate Paul in his most defining role," states the Facebook page.

Homage was also paid to the actor just last Sunday, when MTV featured a tribute to the star at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards.

Cast members were left devastated in the wake of Walker's death. "It wasn't just losing a co-star, he was family for real," said Fast actor, Tyrese Gibson. "That's why it took so long to recover."

Hopefully, having Caleb and Cody on the set is sparking a healing movement among the cast and crew.

Get to know Thandie Newton, Rogue's leading lady >>

Newton, pictured above looking slim and lovely promoting Half Of a Yellow Sun in London on April 8, is an advocate for both home births and midwifery.

Opening up about her birthing experiences, the actress shared previously, "Birth is very challenging in the best way possible. Every fiber of your being is alive. It's like you are conducting electricity; literally creating something. I'd like to give birth every year if I could, just for that experience."

The 41-year-old beauty also has a unique approach to motherhood. She shared in 2008, "I never look at my kids and feel that they're mine. I am their caretaker. They own the joint. It's a privilege to be able to take care of them."

Along with the actress and husband Ol Parker, it's safe to bet big sisters Ripley and Nico also get their fair share of snuggle time with the sweet wee one called Booker. The sisters, ages 13 and 9 respectively, were on hand to witness their little brother's birth last month.

While it's reported Newton's daughters were named after the character Ripley in the Alien films and Nico from Above The Law, the inspiration for Booker Jombe Parker's name has not yet been announced.
