The Maroon 5 front man called in to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show on Friday, Aug. 29, and revealed that he has babies on the brain. Yes, that's right, Levine wants to have children with his new wife.

Levine and Prinsloo wed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, so what does the "It Was Always You" hit maker think about becoming a husband?

"I think it does change, but in a great way," Levine confessed of his relationship. "You feel like a man or something, it's weird.

"The relationship doesn't change, but you feel slightly more masculine," he added. "I feel like from a man's perspective … at the end of the day, if you're with the right person, the guy is supposed to feel like, I think, a little bit more of a man."

But being a husband is not the only title that Levine is eager to have — he also would like to be called "Daddy" very soon.

"We're definitely going to do it," the Voice coach said about having kids.

"I want to have 100 kids. I want to have more kids than would be socially responsible," he joked. "I don't know when we’re going to do it. We can't do it right now. I think it's absolutely in the works for some future date."

And Levine's supermodel bride agrees completely. She previously told Net-a-Porter's The Edit that she definitely wants to have her man's babies.

But besides wedded bliss and the thoughts of babies, Levine also has a new album titled V with his band Maroon 5 coming out, and he has explained that it's going to be a little different from the previous ones, a little more in-depth.

"I think the album has more depth than the last one, not to say the last one wasn't great. But I feel like this one kind of has hits, but it has hits that mean something just a little more."


Britney Spears has a no good, terrible, very bad day (VIDEO)

Spears took to Twitter on Thursday to inform her fans with a tweet that said she was back to being single. Now, the usually private singer has decided to share her breakup thoughts with fans once again, but this time by posting a video of her shitty day.

Why Britney Spears' breakup is bad news for women everywhere >>

The beauty is determined not to let her split from her Atlanta-raised beau — who reportedly cheated on her and got caught on camera — ruin things for her. The video, which made its way around Hollywood, apparently shows Lucado making out with another woman and dancing with her in what appears to be someone's living room back in August. With her own video, Spears is letting the world know that she's actually doing OK.

Was Britney Spears impressed by Katy Perry's imitation of her? >>

Appearing in the short clip with heavy makeup on her eyes and her hair looking great, Spears tells her fans, "If you are ever having a really, really, shitty day, then find someone with shoes with hearts on them."

The camera then swings to a friend of Spears' whose cute black shoes have red hearts on them, and the singer says, "Made my day!"

Britney Spears: Single again >>

Spears' split comes as a shock to fans because not long ago the pop princess had gushed about her beau during her television documentary I Am Britney Jean, saying, "He's a simple guy, he's funny, he's passionate and he gets what I do, so it kind of works out."

We're glad that Spears is staying so upbeat about her breakup, though, and we hope that she finds someone who can make her happy.

Gabrielle Union's wedding: No cell phones, no cameras

TMZ obtained the invitation for the Miami, Florida, wedding, which stated, "We are so looking forward to sharing this very special day with you. For the comfort of our guests and to protect our privacy, no cameras or cell phones will be permitted at the party. Also, photo IDs will be required for all guests."

Gabrielle Union is asking for a prenup from Dwyane Wade >>

In addition, anyone associated with the wedding, from family members to vendors, is required to sign a confidentiality agreement before stepping into the party. Violators will be subject to a large cash fine for damages.

It's no surprise that they are requiring secrecy. The couple has had a bumpy road to the altar. Union got a ring for Christmas, but it was revealed a week later that the NBA player had fathered a child. The newborn was not Union's child, but the couple maintained that the pregnancy occurred during a break in their relationship.

Wade took responsibility for his actions and talked about his personal life during a press conference in December.

Dwayne Wade fathers a child, but not with Gabrielle Union >>

"I'm in the public eye, so obviously that's a part of it. It comes with the territory. But… as I've always done my whole life… is always focus on what's most important to me and my family, and that's being a great father. I've always tried to show my importance in my kids' lives and it doesn't change now," the Miami Heat player said. "So, me and my lady and my family have continued to move forward and I think that's evident with the ring and the proposal that I gave her with our lives."

So for now, the duo is done talking. They are ready to wed. They also want their guests to keep quiet, too.

New Instagram account will inspire endless braid hairstyle ideas

Braids are a gorgeous way to keep your hair pulled back and still look pulled together. Cary Fukunaga even sported some man-braids at the Emmys this year, spawning rumors that the trend will soon jump to men. But the problem for most of us commoners is how to achieve the cool looks we see. Enter Instabraid, one of the hottest new Instagram accounts, which collects and catalogs all the braided styles your heart could want.

This sporty braided pony is perfect for your next workout:

The best part about braids is that you can do them on almost any length of hair (even pixies can do little braids to pull bangs back), they're very secure and they only require a comb, hair ties and possibly a few bobby pins. Plus they look good on women of all ages.

If I have one small quibble with Instabraid it's that they often don't link to the source or give directions on how to do it. (Although you can often find that info from helpful commenters.) If you're already pretty good at braiding then you can probably work it out on your own from the pictures.

Make this grilled potato salad with scallion vinaigrette before summer is over

$

Grilling potatoes gives a nice, crispy edge to this typically heavy salad. The scallion vinaigrette is a tangy and light addition, and provides the perfect answer to the "should I really bring a salad full of mayo to the hot picnic?" question.

Grilled potato salad with scallion vinaigrette recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 6 scallions
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Directions:

  1. Place the potatoes into a large saucepot, and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, and let simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the potatoes from the water, and after letting them cool for a few minutes, slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Brush with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Drizzle the scallions with olive oil, and season them with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the grill is hot, place the scallions onto the grill, and grill each side for about 1 minute, until they start to wilt and blacken. Remove the scallions from the grill, and set them aside.
  6. Place the potato slices onto the grill, and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, careful to not let them burn. Flip once grill marks show on each side and the potatoes start to crisp around the edges.
  7. Make the dressing by whisking together the 1/4 cup of olive oil, the vinegar and the lemon juice. Chop 1 of the grilled scallions, and add it to the dressing.
  8. Plate the grilled potatoes with the grilled scallions. Pour the dressing on top, and serve warm.

Here's what was running through our brains as we read "Bey the Light" — words by Beyoncé, remixed by Forrest Gander (whatever that means).

Beyoncé's dad says Solange fight and marriage drama are fake >>

It's my daughter, she's my biggest muse.
There's someone, we all find out soon,
more important than ourselves to lose.

all those photos in my dressing room —
especially those you've been stricken.

they uplift me like pieces of moon,
And guide me, whispering in my ear.

Dang, girl. That was deep. Not much of that going on here — pretty sure we'll be dreaming of man-eating Big Macs again tonight.

And I feel her presence all the time
though I never met my grandmother.

I saw a TV preacher when I was scared,

who promised he'd say a prayer
if I put my hand to the TV.

Didn't realize our fangirlness was such a burden, Queen Bey. Also, apparently we should thank you for the free therapy. So, um, thanks.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. We've been waiting our whole life for someone to give chaos the green light. If Beyoncé doesn't mind the bed not being made every morning, who are we to argue?

when no one roots for others to fail,
when we all mean what we say.

Amy Poehler schools a guy about gender expectations

INTERVIEW: Pawnee or the triplets? Amy Poehler talks Parks & Rec "baby fight" >>

And not in the sense of the word that makes men run for the hills. She's the type of feminist who recognizes gender expectations in society — for men and for women — and strives to help women feel confident and secure in being themselves.

Which is exactly why, in a recent interview, Poehler proudly stood up for women everywhere when Neal Brennan, the host of Sundance Network's panel show The Approval Matrix, sought the actress's sympathy for expectations women place on him and other modern guys.

"Being cool is, like, passé. And now you have to be awkward and adorable," Brennan said.

Poehler didn't even hesitate with her straight-faced response. "Well, this feeling that you're having right now — which is, like, 'I'm supposed to be all things' — is a feeling that women have every day and have their whole lives. So you're just starting to experience it now."

That time Leslie Knope trashed Kristen Bell >>

And Poehler is exactly right. Though that doesn't mean it's OK for people of either gender to have these unrealistic expectations placed upon them, which is why discussing it openly and honestly is the key to change.

"We have to deal with those juxtapositions every day," Poehler continues, "but I'm glad you're finally experiencing it as a white male."

"I'm sensing a tone," Brennan jokes, slightly uncomfortable.

Poehler doesn't make light of the situation but does laugh at the fact that she likes "guys who go to therapy and are not afraid of a good massage, but I also would love to be with someone whose waist isn't smaller than mine and who just, kind of, acts like my Israeli body guard."

Poehler is spot-on in every sense of her answer. Neither gender should have these unrealistic expectations, but society places these pressures on us nonetheless. We applaud her for not shying away from the discussion.

And Poehler doesn't just talk about these issues. She's also taking action. She founded the web-series-turned-online-hub for girls Smart Girls at the Party. The site aims to help empower women and be a place where girls can turn for support.

Special needs: Protect your child from sexual abuse

$

A mother of a child with Down syndrome — who we will call Jane — chose to share with SheKnows her family's experience. Jane's son was sexually abused by a friend when the boys were 16 years old.

Months passed before he found a way to tell his parents. The predator had groomed him to believe that if he told his parents, they would think he was a "bad boy" and they wouldn't love him anymore.

On the night the truth emerged, Jane clutched her frightened child and promised him again and again that he was absolutely a good boy, and Mommy and Daddy would never stop loving him.

Jane's disbelief was as overwhelming as her confusion. This was a family she trusted — a boy her family knew, loved and trusted. Yet, he had committed the ultimate betrayal. Why? How? Hadn't she done everything right?

Who is at risk?

Children with special needs are perfect prey because they may not understand what is happening, know to speak up or have the communication skills to do so.

"I've learned a lot about this dark world," Jane says. "Our kids with special needs are the most vulnerable and the most abused. This is something that we should want to talk about and learn about."

More on risk

  • According to a 2012 report for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a risk factor is if "the parent is unaware his or her child with disabilities is at greater risk of maltreatment and may be unprepared to identify and protect the child from risky situations."
  • Boys with disabilities or children with disabilities who are in preschool or younger are more likely than children without disabilities to be abused.
  • Children who rely on their caretakers may not understand inappropriate touching.
  • Emotional dependence on caregivers may stop a child with special needs from speaking up.

Protect your child

Jenny Thompson has a daughter with Down syndrome and supports a nonprofit called Step Up, Speak Out.

"A big key… is creating a community of freedom where victims can tell their story and not feel guilt, shame, persecution," Thompson explains. "[Then] perpetrators are more likely to get convicted."

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends:

  • Help others see children with disabilities as valued and unique individuals.
  • Promote inclusion of children with disabilities into everyday life.
  • Develop leadership skills in parents and family members of children with disabilities.

Risk at school

Nearly one in 10 typical students (not just those with a disability) experienced unacceptable sexual behavior by a school employee while in school, according to a 2004 report for the U. S. Department of Education.

Which educators are likely to molest?

  • Any employee or volunteer
  • Well-liked and respected teachers
  • Those with access to students before or after school or one-on-one (e.g., coaches, physical therapists)

What should I look for?

  • Physical signs include:
    • Difficulty walking or sitting
    • Torn clothing, stained or bloodied underwear
    • Pain or itching in the genital area
    • Venereal disease, pregnancy and changes in weight

Behavior red flags:

  • Age-inappropriate sexual behavior (e.g., Jane's son had taken a picture of his penis)
  • Changes in personality
  • Increased time at school with one adult

What might the molester do?

  • Develop close relationships with students
  • Spend time alone together
  • Spend time before or after school together
  • Spend time in a private space together

If you suspect abuse, the nonprofit Committee for Children provides information on next steps.

She wrote, "When I joined the NBC family in 2011, I had long respected NBC’s commitment to telling the stories of 'ordinary people doing extraordinary things.'

In her post, she also cited some of her favorite stories for the network, including the Homework Diner, which provides meals and academic assistance to kids and families in need, and the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit, which offers educational and boxing instruction to get kids off the streets.

Why we think CeeLo Green deserved jail time

CeeLo Green could be facing some serious prison time >>

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, Green pleaded no contest to one felony count of furnishing ecstasy to a female back in 2012. According to E! News, the former Voice coach entered the plea because he was allowed to maintain his innocence in the case.

Green was also charged with rape in the 2013 case, but that charge was rejected by the prosecutor due to insufficient evidence. Both cases come from an incident back in 2012 where Green "allegedly slipped ecstasy to a 33-year-old female while the two were dining at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant," the prosecutor had said in a statement at the time. "The two later went back to the woman's hotel" and she said she woke up, naked, next to Green.

The woman later also taped the singer in conversation, and he allegedly apologized. But even with the serious charges, Green avoided jail time in this case — he was sentenced by a superior court judge to three years of probation and 360 hours of community service. He is also required to attend 52 AA/NA meetings.

A rep for Green released a statement on Friday continuing to not apologize in the case, despite everything the woman has been through.

"CeeLo Green is pleased that the District Attorney's office would allow him the opportunity to resolve this appropriately and maintain his innocence," Green's rep said. "He is happy to put this behind him and continue to move forward."

10 Things you didn't know about Sam Smith >>

Sam Smith posted a picture of himself on Instagram flanked by gorgeous songstresses Charli XCX and Katy Perry at the MTV VMAs last weekend. The problem? He cropped out Katy Perry's date, Riff Raff, and apparently hurt Riff Raff's feelings in the process.

On the border of the photo, you can see Riff Raff's knee and bejeweled knuckles, so there's no denying that Smith did indeed crop him out.

The "Stay With Me" singer captioned the post, "So amazing to see my girl @charli_xcx last night!! Smashing it so hard #STORTFORD," so it's obvious that Smith's fellow Brit Charli XCX was the focus of the picture. It's possible that the crop occurred purely because Riff Raff didn't fit.

However, the flamboyant rapper didn't take kindly to the perceived dis and took to Twitter to express his concern. "THANKS FOR CUTTING ME OUT OF THE PICTURE U CHUBBY LiTTLE F*** FACTORY. P.S. YOUR FACE IS SUPER HUGE @SAMSMITHSWORLD."

It's also possible that Smith intentionally cut out Riff Raff for aesthetic reasons. Riff Raff and Perry showed up to the VMAs clothed from head to toe in denim in homage to the styles Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears wore to the 2001 American Music Awards. Perry, who was previously married to comedian Russell Brand, tweeted that the getups were "a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction." She also tweeted that she and Riff Raff were "going for da best worst dressed" award.

No response from Smith yet, but given that Riff Raff looks like a bad mix of Kevin Federline and Vanilla Ice and Sam Smith's voice sounds like a combination of Fergie and Jesus, we imagine he's gonna let this one roll off his back.

And some of the questions that his fans wanted to ask Brody were about his beautiful wife, their marriage and what it was like on set of The O.C.

"How's Leighton?" a fan asked Brody, to which he responded, "She's swell!"

The pair married over the Valentine's Day weekend earlier this year at a resort in Mexico, with Meester celebrating her bachelorette party in Hollywood just weeks before the wedding. While the couple appear to be lovestruck, there is yet to be talk of any kids. So does Brody have plans to add to his brood?

"I say twelve," Brody joked. "And I decide."

Another inquisitive participant asked Brody what life was like at their household. "I do some stuff but she definitely does the heavy lifting(figuratively)," he said of his wife. "Literally, I do the heavy lifting."

Nowadays Brody is completely content to spend his days kissing his wife and former The Oranges co-star, but he also used to enjoy kissing another co-star and former girlfriend in the beginning of his career: Rachel Bilson.

Exclusive clip from Leighton Meester's The Oranges >>

An inquisitive fan asked, "How was it like to kiss Rachel Bilson? Is she a good kisser?"

"One of the all time greats!" Brody replied. The actor's response was cryptic, so we're not sure whether he was referring to Bilson or The O.C.

Speaking of the series, does he miss it? "I miss the original 90210, actually," Brody revealed.

But apparently he is still in contact with his old The O.C. stars. "I'm in constant psychic communication with all of them. And Ben [McKenzie] and I also get lunch in this dimension sometimes," he said.

David Beckham joins Prince William to stop animal poaching >>

According to E! News, the crash apparently happened on the Sunset Strip while he was being followed by photographers. Beckham crashed his motorcycle while trying to "avoid hitting another vehicle that had suddenly swerved towards him amid the ruckus." The Beckhams are reportedly a hot commodity in the Los Angeles area and are often chased by photographers.

Although Beckham crashed his motorcycle, news is mixed about whether he was injured in the incident. A source told E! News that "David is OK," but TMZ said that he was later spotted in a cast. Beckham was reportedly leaving a tattoo parlor when he was followed, and he brought his bike back to the store after it all happened.

Even though the former soccer player seemed to be mostly fine after the crash, the incident may have bigger repercussions. Beckham's wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, rose to fame around the same time as the death of Princess Diana, and her group was always outspoken about paparazzi following celebs. The girls rallied around the privacy of celebrities — which was also around the same time Victoria (then Victoria Adams) met David Beckham.

  2. For the aioli, mix all 3 ingredients together.
  3. For the carrot daikon relish, mix the shredded carrot and daikon together with the rice vinegar and sugar, and set it aside for 1 hour.
  4. For the sweet sake sauce, bring all 3 ingredients to a boil, and reduce until half the original amount.
  5. Once the sauces and relish have been prepared, grill your turkey burgers over medium heat until thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees F.
  6. Spread the chili aioli onto both sides of the buns, and place a patty on each bottom bun. Place the carrot daikon relish on next, followed by the cilantro, and then top with a dollop of the aioli and a drizzle of the sweet sake. Finish with your top buns, and enjoy.

Jason Segel's love of puppets is borderline terrifying

Opening up about how his Los Angeles home is filled with the glass-eyed creations, Segel explained to The Guardian, "I have the ones I started out with as a kid and used to make films with. But now I have new ones, too. When I did The Muppets, there was a Jason Segel Muppet, which I eventually got to keep. That's really the height of arrogance. To have a puppet of yourself in your own house."

Recognizing it's a wee bit weird, he added, "Thank God there's a context. Otherwise I'd be an unemployed man with a house of full of puppets. That would be terrifying."

Segel's love for Kermit and the gang appears to be entirely genuine.

"It's very easy to look at The Muppets as pure entertainment," he explained. "But even as a child, it taught me so many lessons. One in particular is that the Muppets never try to defeat their villains. The Muppets are always trying to show the villains the error of their ways and get them to come along with them. We can all learn a lot from the Muppets."

However, with age, this actor-turned-author realizes it's time to get a bit more serious.

"The era of me playing a man-boy who really needs to grow up is gone," he announced. "Things have changed."

The burger-loving Segel continued, "When I hit 30, I started to have that instinct. I started to take care of myself better. New phase, I guess. Stuff starts to hurt in ways it didn't before.

"I still smoke occasionally. I tend to have one with my morning coffee and then occasionally at night. I'd love to quit, because they’re turning on me. But I started exercising. And I eat more healthily — no more midnight pizzas. It's no great mystery. Eat well and exercise."

"Just lately I've been doing a lot of thinking," Segel went on to share what he's envisioning for his future. "And it led me to a rabbithole about the function of art. I'm interested in finding the union between all of us. I want to give people the opportunity to say: 'Oh my gosh, that's me up there.' I want to express something they hadn't been able to put into words.

"My goal right now is to keep walking through fear," he added. "I think everyone has that feeling that they are meant for something more. That there is this form of self-actualization that has yet to occur. Fear is the only thing that stops us achieving our goals."

Nina Dobrev laughs off multiple-boyfriend dating rumors >>

Though the rumors have been rampant about Dobrev's dating life following her split from Somerhalder earlier this year (including Hunger Games hunks Alexander Ludwig and Liam Hemsworth), it seems the actress is currently single.

The Vampire Diaries star posted a cheeky text exchange between herself and a friend. The friend had been planning a coffee run and texted Dobrev to see if she wanted anything to drink. Dobrev, in fact, did have something in mind.

"Yes, in desperate need of a Tall whipped and ripped mocha boyfriend, sweetened with sugar not Splenda. Extra hot please," the witty actress wrote back. We like her style.

Dobrev's ex Somerhalder seems to have moved on to actress Nikki Reed. The two have been spotted together over the last few months out and about, enjoying one another's company. The farmers market seems to be one of their favorite hangouts. Somerhalder recently told Extra, "I couldn't be happier if I tried."

Dobrev also seems to be living it up, despite her dreams of the perfect boyfriend. She was spotted out this past weekend at the Video Music Awards enjoying time with pal Julianne Hough. She also took some fun photos with Jimmy Fallon and Jennifer Lopez.

Kim K finally opens up about her wedding fight with Rob >>

So it looks like the Kardashian son is doing something about it. A source told E! News that Kardashian is bothered by his weight and is attending therapy and getting rid of unhealthy foods in his life.

"He hates being big, but he gained all that weight from being depressed," the source said. "He wants to lose over 50 pounds."

Kardashian is fighting the weight by moving in with sister Khloé Kardashian and having a goal with her to work out and stay healthy.

"He's also planning to attend more events and look into new business ventures," the source added, but said, "He's taking it slow [and] feeling great."

Rob and Khloé may be the perfect motivation for each other. They have both have struggled with their looks — especially in the public eye — in the past. Going through it together may actually help motivate both of them.

"Rob and Khloé have always been tight. And Khloé has been there 100 percent for Rob since he's been going through hard times," the source said. "Also, Rob and [Lamar Odom] were really close, and after Khloé and Lamar split, it was so hard for Rob. He felt like he lost a brother that he had always wanted. Khloé knows how depressed he's been and is probably closer with him than any of her sisters."

"He was really there for her more than anyone."
