The Exodus: Gods and Kings actor spoke with the Wall Street Journal magazine and things got heated when Bale began discussing the paparazzi. No, he wasn't bashing the paparazzi. Instead, Bale expressed his beef with actors, specifically Clooney, who air their grief with photogs.

INTERVIEW: Christian Bale confesses: I fear I'll fall on my ass one day

Bale said he's tired of hearing about it because it's "boring." And although he feels like he should be afforded "as much privacy as anyone else," that doesn't mean he's going to complain about it every chance he gets.

"It doesn't matter that he [Clooney] talks about it. It's like, come on, guys, just shut up," Bale said. "Just get on with it and live your lives and stop whining about it. I prefer not to whine about it.

"You get people who are very rude," Bale acknowledged of journalists and the press. "When you do these press junkets, you end up doing a lot of interviews, and you feel like you've gone a bit insane. And some people poke you like you're an animal in a zoo, looking for a response. If you're smart, you don't give it to them. If you're dumb, occasionally, like me, you give it to them. And then they've basically got what they wanted. I usually regret it afterwards."

INTERVIEW: Christian Bale spills on his chemistry with Jennifer Lawrence

Bale does acknowledge in the interview that the paparazzi are a challenge. He recounted a story of a particular photographer who would wait for him and his wife outside their hotel when they were in Italy. Whenever Bale and his wife would leave the hotel, the man would say "the most obscene things imaginable" to Bale's wife.

"I know what he's after; he has a strategy there. Am I able to say I'm not gonna give him that satisfaction of angry Christian Bale coming after this man? But equally, he's killing my humanity and my dignity as a husband if I do not, and he knows this. So you've got a choice."

A choice, Bale admits, he made emotionally and not logically. After listening to the man attack his wife for days, he finally snapped, which gave the photographer just the angry Bale photos he was looking for.

Does Christian Bale get jealous? Yes, if it involves Ben Affleck and Batman

"I feel like an ass 'cause I've given him what he wanted. But in my mind, I had no other choice. How could I sit back and accept somebody talking that way about my wife? I couldn't. I just couldn't do it."

For someone who doesn't want to hear other celebs talk about the paparazzi, Bale sure seems to have a lot to say on the matter.

Do you think Bale has a point? Or should celebrities continue to speak out against paparazzi harassment?

1. Miranda Kerr

Day one of the much-anticipated web special featured supermodel, Miranda Kerr, as the world's sexiest reindeer, swaying seductively to Nelly's "Hot in Herre." Here's a close-up of the eyes Orlando Bloom deems Justin-Bieber-punch-worthy: 

2. Kendall Jenner

Don't think for a minute that your Christmas wish of going 25 days Kardashian-free will be granted. The mag released a teaser of Kendall Jenner in a risqué shot showing that it's up for debate whether she has been naughty or nice this year (we're going with naughty).

3. Kris Jenner

Not to be shown up by Kim Kardashian's much-ballyhooed nude cover for Paper and Kendall's appearance in the calendar, mom Kris Jenner is rumored to be making an appearance in an upcoming day, too. That's not weird or anything. No preview of that as of yet.

4. Hailey Baldwin

Stephen Baldwin's gorgeous daughter just turned 18 and we hear she's celebrating by taking some, if not all, of it off for the calendar. No sneak peeks, but she did celebrate her birthday with Kendall and Kylie just a week ago, as seen on Instagram.

5. and 6. Bella and Gigi Hadid

The daughters of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Yolanda Foster — successful models in their own right — are said to be making an appearance, but we don't know if it's together or separately. Considering the overarching theme of the calendar, a joint appearance might be a bit creepy. Gigi also likes to hang with Kendall, as seen on her Instagram.

7. Pamela Anderson

The former Baywatch babe posts a ton of throwback pics on her Instagram page, but we think she looks better than ever with her pixie cut and we're sure she'll give the younger models in the Love calendar a run for their money. Just check out this shot posted for her 47th birthday in July.

Check back each day to see which new celeb shot is revealed in the Love magazine Advent calendar.

Sligh, who has had bit parts as a waiter and bartender on the popular soap, was trying to do a good thing on Thursday, but his plans were wildly interrupted.

According to a local CBS report, the actor and his girlfriend were on their way to deliver Thanksgiving dinner to a friend when they came across a drunk driver doing doughnuts in a Rite Aid parking lot. When Sligh asked him to slow down, the driver tried to run him over, then exited the car and beat him up, leaving him with a broken arm.

Sligh's girlfriend, Alisa Berhorst, told KCAL 9 News how it all went down.

"The whole imagery of everything that happened last night is still very fresh and scary," she said. "They almost hit people in the parking lot. They were hitting curbs, and Corey said, 'Please slow down or we're gonna call the cops, just go home.'

"The guy walked up on him like 'I'm in the mood to kill somebody and this is who it's going to be because he told me to be careful and slow down and go away," she said.

Sligh posted a pic from the hospital on Instagram.

Of course, the publicity the model/actor is getting from the attack might make it hurt a tiny bit less.

The early years...

In this still from 1982, Madonna and her nips were just starting out. Look how wholesome and, um, diminutive, Madonna's girls are. We imagine this as a happy time for Madonna's nipples. They would probably tell us that they reflect on this era with great fondness, before they were introduced to the world — over and over and over again.

Did Madonna dump her BF mid-vacation?

This was a big night in 1987 for Madonna's nipples, but a medium time for Madame M's cup size. Madge was channeling Marilyn Monroe and winning American Music Awards. If the Material Girl's nips could talk, they'd tell us that it was a night to remember because they were not yet what you'd call a "big deal."

If you think Madonna looks confused in this picture, think about what her nipples must have thought about all those cone bras in the '90s. Nipples have several uses, but being shoved into a cylinder isn't one of them. We think M's nips would tell us that they were longing for their days of anonymity right about now.

Goth boobs

We're certain Madonna's nips would tell us they were freezing in this goth-boob getup. To keep the girls in the cage with a dress like this, double-stick tape is a must — we assume the nips would tell us they were more than a little cranky about having adhesive ripped off of them later that night.

Large and in charge

Hello! Is it just us, or are these fun bags, pictured in 2004, supersized? These are not Madge's boobs from the '80s and '90s and, if they are, then she is the only woman in history whose breasts have gotten larger, firmer and perkier as she got older and after giving birth. Yeah, that doesn't happen. At least, that's what her nipples would say.

Reinvention, indeed

Photo credit: WENN

Oh là, là. This is Madonna in 2004 during her Re-Invention tour. Reinvention indeed. If we asked her nips what was happening in this picture, they would say that they hated this dress because they couldn't breathe and they nearly suffocated.

Gym boobs

Madonna's nips are over it. Now, they are on display constantly, including at the gym. We can imagine that they were humiliated, flopping around hither and yon, hanging on for dear life and doing their best to not flop out.

As you can see, Madonna's nipples have had a lot of ups and downs. At 56 years old, they'd be weary and ready for retirement. We're certain that instead of being put on display for the world to see, they'd rather be comfortably settled behind a bathing suit, being served drinks while warming themselves by the ocean.

Abigail Breslin on Rango and childhood stardom

Breslin posted a new music video online on Friday for her single, "You Suck," and to say the comments she's getting in response are mean is an absolute understatement. We can't believe the horrible things people are posting.

WARNING: These tweets are as bad as they come and are definitely not PG. Read at your own discretion.

And while we think everyone has the right to their opinion, being violent and crude is taking it to another, completely inappropriate, level.

Many people, who are critiquing the video, rather than threatening Breslin's life, say the video supports a negative message. And that instead of attacking an ex-boyfriend, we should be focusing on empowering girls in a positive way. (Unfortunately, they're saying it with a lot more offensive language.)

Abigail Breslin gets weird over sloths, Iggy Azalea, and we love it (VIDEO)

As of Dec. 1, the song had about 280,000 views on YouTube. Just over 2,800 have liked the video, while a little over 24,000 have disliked it.

Breslin most likely wrote the song for her ex-boyfriend, Michael Clifford, of 5 Seconds of Summer. Clifford confirmed that "dumb tattoo" and "bleachin' your hair" were most likely references to him during an Australian interview on Nova FM.

Kurt Cobain: Read his scornful note mocking Courtney Love

Del Rey has a polished, vintage style, whereas Love is known for her '90s grunge rock look. Del Rey is soft-spoken; Love is rather brash. Del Rey's music is more melodic and Love is a rocker through and through.

But, if you take a closer look, there have been some times when Del Rey was seriously channeling Love and it totally makes sense that the two would team up to tour together in 2015.

1. The "West Coast" video

In the video for "West Coast," Del Rey is sporting a '90s rocker style in a tattered leather jacket as she prances around in the waves on the beach. The video also has a very heroin-chic vibe going for it, which is very Love à la 1994. The kicker? Del Rey is canoodling with a man who bears a striking resemblance to Love's late husband, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain.

2. October 2012 Vogue Australia cover shoot

The spread for the Vogue shoot was said to be inspired by troubled mid-century poet, Sylvia Plath. The Vogue editors titled the spread "Melancholy Sexuality" and Del Rey reportedly loved the comparisons to Plath. Love, also, is deeply inspired by Plath. She claims that she auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club as a child by reading a Plath poem about incest, according to the Guardian.

3. The time she took a scolding from Frances Bean Cobain

Cobain, Love's daughter with Kurt, ripped Del Rey a new one in June, after the songstress made a statement in an interview that she wished she was "dead already" like Kurt Cobain and fellow musician, Amy Winehouse.

Cobain went on to urge Del Rey to embrace life because she is too talented to waste it. Love is no stranger to Cobain's tongue-lashings, either: She's been feuding with her daughter for years. Cobain has said that Love was a horrible mother and even accused her of killing family pets. Cobain filed a restraining order against Love in December 2009, according to the Daily Mail.

4. The time she sang about Love's vagina

OK... this was an accident on Del Rey's part. Del Rey admitted in an interview in 2012 that Nirvana's music had helped her through her youth and she was a huge fan of Kurt Cobain. She covered "Heart-Shaped Box" at a concert in Sydney, Australia, and Love promptly informed her that the song is, indeed, about Love's lady parts. "You know that song is about my vagina right?" she tweeted. "So ummm next time you sing it, think about my vagina will you?"

The two-night event begins on Tuesday, Dec. 2 with an episode of The Flash called "Flash vs. Arrow" and concludes on Wednesday, Dec. 3 with an episode of Arrow called "The Brave and the Bold." Here are a few things you need to know about the crossover event.

Warner Bros. bans 2 huge players from The Flash and Arrow

1. Dig's reaction to seeing Barry as the Flash is everything

You've never seen Dig like this and we guarantee it will leave you laughing harder than you have ever laughed in your life. OK, so maybe we can't guarantee that, but it will be funny.

2. More people will learn Ollie's secret identity

That's the thing about traveling to a new town to meet up with another superhero, more people are bound to find out your secret.

3. Barry will take on Eddie, but not for the reason you think

So far, Barry and Iris' boyfriend haven't had any major tussles. But all of that will change in the crossover episodes.

4. The battle between Barry and Oliver will be epic

Whatever you have imagined about what it would be like to watch the Arrow take on the Flash, the reality is even better.

5. There's a reason they have to fight and it's a scary one

Oliver and Barry don't just decide to battle it out for fun. One of them is in danger and it's up to the other to save them. The resulting war is as frightening as it is exciting.

6. Felicity and Caitlin make fantastic BFFs

These two ladies are tasked with making sure the superheroes in their lives have the backup they need. Something like that is bound to form a bond and it brings them closer together.

The Flash premiere: Why this new superhero is worth watching

7. Barry and Iris' relationship will face a brand-new challenge

By the time the crossovers are over, things are going to be very different between Barry and Iris. Actually, to be more accurate, they will be different between Iris and the Flash. She may not ever look at her hero the same way again.

8. You're going to love it when the Arrow, Flash and Arsenal team up

As much fun as it was to see Barry and Oliver fight each other, it was 10 times more fun to see them team up, along with Arsenal, to take on some bad guys.

9. Barry does the salmon ladder like only the Flash can

The fastest man alive plus the salmon ladder. Do we really need to say more?

10. Barry and his crew will learn some harsh lessons from Oliver

Barry and his gang have been having a grand-old time taking on villains and giving them cool nicknames. Once they work with Oliver and his crew, they will learn that saving the world isn't just a game.

11. Oliver and his crew will learn to lighten up from Barry

Just as Barry and his group will learn some serious lessons, Oliver and his crew will get the chance to see what it's like on the other side. Don't expect Oliver to burst into song any time soon, but you might just see a smile or two.

12. You will be biting your nails near the end of the second episode

You'd think that having two superheroes on hand would make for quick work, but to the contrary, it makes the stakes much higher. Be prepared to chew your nails off, especially near the end of the second episode.

13. Dig will have a big surprise for everyone

Dig goes through a lot in these two episodes and one event in particular will have him rethinking his priorities. When it's all over, he will have a surprise for everyone.

14. The Flash and Arrow don't just battle once, but twice

In addition to the epic battle that takes place in the first episode, there is also another one that happens at the very end of the second episode. Due to the unusual circumstances of the first fight, they will still be looking for the answer to which of them is stronger, but we're not about to tell you how that battle ends.

The Flash's Grant Gustin: "I might never play a cooler character," and here's why

Be sure to catch the first part of the Arrow vs. the Flash crossover with a new episode of The Flash airing on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 8/9c on the CW.

It's time. Time for the envelopes to start rolling in, each stuffed with a glossy portrait of a family exuding Christmas cheer, sometimes accompanied by a short piece of pure fiction otherwise known as the Christmas newsletter. These make me nervous and a little sweaty, because I have no idea what to do with them. Do I hand them up? Throw them away? I mean I like your family and everything but not as much as I like mine so what do I need a picture of it for? Also, it serves as a reminder that another year has passed and I still haven't forced my family to wear reindeer antlers and fake smile for the camera, which feels like a lost opportunity to mess with them.

If you're thinking of getting a family picture taken, you should know that the kind you choose will say more about you than any small novella you include about how fantastic your life is. Show me a Christmas-themed family portrait and I'll tell you all about the family in it.

1. The matching outfit studio portrait

You bought a Groupon and then forgot about it, so now you have to justify the purchase. You regularly send your food back at restaurants, and secretly look up to Kate Gosselin. You have the entire Sex and The City boxed set and listen to John Mayer. This makes you emotional.

2. The outdoor professional family portrait

You have a friend that thinks they're a photographer.

3. The Pinterest portrait

The cashier at Michael's is afraid of you, and you probably have your underwear panties organized by color. You make adorable handmade Christmas gifts for people to regift to their kids' teachers, and you own an Elf on the Shelf. You also own a backup Elf on the Shelf.

4. The candid portrait

You harbor a lot of guilt since you don't regularly take pictures of your children and/or you remembered at the last minute that your phone has a camera function.

5. The ugly sweater portrait

You are hilarious, according to your college roommate and probably your mom. You like things before they are cool, and you need people to know you don't care about things like Christmas portraits. You don't care so much that you started planning this last June.

6. The mall Santa portrait

You accidentally went to the mall on the day Santa was there, and you're an amateur, so you let your kid see him. You are afraid of going to a portrait studio and haven't had a proper night's sleep for some time now. You live at the train table at Barnes and Noble.

7. The no portrait portrait

You are lazy and probably throw people's Christmas portraits away as soon as you get them. You are me.

In addition to being an Oscar-winning actress and girl with whom we all want to be BFFs, Lawrence treats us to a hauntingly beautiful rendition of "The Hanging Tree" in the third installment of the Hunger Games films, Mockingjay — Part 1 that makes us fall in love with her all over again. Seriously, is her talent pool infinitely deep? Let us all just bask in the glow of her awesomeness.

More from SheKnows: 11 Reasons I saw Mockingjay 3 times this weekend — and will see it again

The song "The Hanging Tree" was written by the indie-folk duo The Lumineers, best known for their hit "Ho Hey," and performed by legendary composer James Newton Howard, whose film scores and discography include Pretty Woman, The Dark Knight, Maleficent and so many other blockbusters I couldn't possibly list them all. With such a strong pedigree, we could have expected this to be a fantastic hit. And it certainly is.

If you're a Hunger Games fan, (books, movies, or both) you know "The Hanging Tree." The song Katniss sings to Pollux, a Capitol cameraman and Avox, after playing with the Mockingjays while filming a "propo" for District 13, brings both him and the audience to tears.

The film soundtrack was released Nov. 24, and now the ballad is sitting at No. 14 on the UK Singles Top 100 and No. 12 on Australia's ARIA Singles Top 50. Lawrence's performance is also delighting iTunes users, who can't stop raving about it.

More from SheKnows: Here's what happens when Jurassic World and Hunger Games collide (GIFs)

Despite the actress stating on the Late Show with David Letterman, "I do not like singing in front of other people… It was awful," iTunes users are giving her performance five stars. Of the current 679 (and counting) reviews for the Mockingjay — Part 1 album, most seem to be about "The Hanging Tree" and how much it is loved. iTunes user Robert A. Morris says, "Who knew Jennifer Lawrence had such a great voice? So haunting and a great arrangement for the song!" and Jordan10196 says, "'Hanging Tree,' easily the best track on the album."

My daughter opens her backpack and out spills a giant pile of papers, stress and tears. She's in fourth grade, but if you looked at her daily assignment planner, you'd think she was attending an Ivy League university — that's how much homework she has.

My child copes with both obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe anxiety, but even "typical" kids are suffering from what one friend of mine refers to as being treated as "smaller adults" when it comes to homework.

I'm a huge proponent of education, to the point that I agreed when my husband suggested he quit his job several years ago to pursue his doctorate four years after finishing up his master's degree. We pay twice our mortgage each month in private-school tuition to ensure our kids get the best possible education available to them where we currently live. My daughter is twice-exceptional (she is both intellectually gifted and has special needs) and my son has been described by his first-grade teacher as "gifted, times two."

We put a high value on schoolwork. However, I'm ready to lead a revolution against the current (horrible, punishing) trend of piling on the assignments outside of school hours. That, plus our culture's go-go-go attitude when it comes to activities like sports and the arts, is making my family miserable.

I can and did put a stop to the insanity when it comes to extracurricular clubs and sports, limiting both kids to activities that meet only twice a week, and for this I am often praised by my peers for my parenting wisdom. When it comes to homework, though, I'm without a champion — or so I thought.

After one particularly grueling session of homework, which included not only three pages of language arts, seven pages of spelling and three pages of geometry but also two-thirds of a long-term social studies project, I vented on Facebook about the toll it was taking on my kid, and on me.

Cajoling, bribing and sometimes even hollering, our before-dinner hours are spent locked in a battle of wills that leaves us both wrung out and exhausted. And for what? Will she really remember what the landforms of Antarctica are? And does she even really need to?

I asked a question similar to that and my friends added their voices to my chorus of, "Please, make the homework stop." We all recall elementary and middle school, and none of us spent more than 30 minutes a night on homework. Surprisingly, we're all successful adults anyway. Go figure.

The insane amount of structure and dedication we expect from our kids is out of hand. Teachers do their best, but they are beholden to a system that places value on checking boxes instead of creativity. I know the men and women who teach my children love and care for them. That's why I'm not afraid to tell them we're just not going to do it anymore, and they can go ahead and fail me. I've already passed fourth grade.

The successful singer was just named CMA Entertainer of the Year last month, and has been enjoying the biggest year of his country career. However, on the family front, Bryan has not been so lucky.

Bryan's brother-in-law, Ben Lee Cheshire, who was very close to the "Crash My Party" crooner's family, died of undisclosed causes over the weekend, seven years after his own wife, Kelly Bryan, passed away, People magazine reported. Kelly was Bryan's only sister and died suddenly in 2007 at the age of 39.

After Bryan's only brother died years earlier at the age of 26, losing his sister left a significant mark on the recording artist. "Losing my brother changed me tremendously and losing Kelly, even more," Bryan told People Country last year.

Cheshire was often seen with the Bryan family and was present during Bryan's emotional ACM Entertainer of the Year win last year in Las Vegas. He loaned his support to the multi-award winner throughout a big part of his career and has always been considered an important part of the family circle.

Following his death, Cheshire leaves behind the three teenage children he had with Kelly, whose custody care remains unknown at this time.

CMT released a statement saying that Bryan's segment of the show will go on as planned and it will be in honor of "Luke in absentia and will recognize him in only the best way we know how — out of respect for him and his family."

Dickinson said she met up with Cosby in 1982 in Lake Tahoe with the hopes of a career evolution from modeling to acting — but never imagined the nightmare that awaited her.

"I trusted Bill Cosby," she told CNN. "Because of his demeanor and the promise of a career, I trusted him."

The two hung out and chatted amiably, with Dickinson even snapping some Polaroids of the comedian. But then, she claims, a complaint about menstrual cramps led to Cosby giving her a mystery pill and a glass of wine.

Bill Cosby rape accusations: A timeline of his career downfall

"I just remember shooting these pictures and having them on me the next morning when I woke up. The last thing I remembered — I had blacked out — [was] Cosby mounting me like the monster that he was. And I was thinking, 'What the heck?'" Dickinson explained.

"I remember passing out, but I remember more specifically waking up and that he — there was a lot of pain downstairs," Dickinson said, tearing up. "There was semen all over me and my pajama bottoms were off and the top was open. And at that point, fight or flight, I just packed up and got the hell out of there."

The former supermodel said she waited so long to come forward because she felt "humiliated, disgusted. I had revulsion toward Cosby, and Cosby was a very powerful man and probably still is. I trusted this man, and I stuffed it. I compartmentalized it because I was embarrassed."

Even though the incident reportedly happened decades ago, Dickinson is clearly not over it. When asked why she is going public now, and what she wants to see happen to her alleged rapist, she broke down.

"I would like Cosby to come out and at least acknowledge that he is a pig, that he is a monster and he raped me," she said.

"I do not know how to process these emotions. I'm going to meditate. I'm going to church. I do not know. This has affected me in my house, it's affecting me, it's really affected these women."

Dickinson joins at least 15 other women accusing Cosby of sexual assault.

Jagger says that his dad has been doing drugs nonstop for the last several weeks and blames Scott's paranoia on his addiction. The 16-year-old took to his Twitter account to let everyone know what's been going on, Ultimate Classic Rock claimed.

"My dad is too busy posting songs on his FB hiding out for attention rather then [sic] getting his act together #dadstop," Jagger tweeted. "To all tho [sic] confused, my father once again chose drugs over his family. He needs help, but refuses to get it. He’s been on a 9 week binge."

Creed front man Scott Stapp to release second solo album

Meanwhile, Scott has claimed in his overly rambling video clips that he's totally sober and clean. But, according to TMZ, the Christian rocker was recently placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in Florida after he was found "wasted" by police and claiming that someone was after him with poison.

The site also revealed that according to Scott's wife, Jaclyn Stapp, he had called Jagger's school warning them that ISIS terrorists were putting together a plot to attack the establishment. Plus, he also threatened to commit suicide. The estranged wife has filled divorce papers documenting all of the incriminating information, which was then obtained by the gossip site.

Jaclyn blames her husband’s delusions and paranoid episodes on his alleged use of marijuana, cocaine, PCP, special k, steroids, crystal meth and several prescription drugs.

Oddly enough, however, Scott seems completely sober in his video testimonials, although some of what he says does sound totally out of left field.

Because your brain has not yet been saturated with enough Kardashian skin after Kim's full-frontal shoot for Paper last month, another sister is taking it all off for the cameras: Kourtney, huge baby bump and all.

The soon-to-be mom-of-three posed mostly nude, excepting a stray accessory, soaking wet see-through dress or artfully draped robe, for DuJour magazine, and the resulting photos are actually quite stunning. Kourtney shared one on her Instagram today.

"To me, nudity is not something to be ashamed of," Kourtney told the mag. "I'm not embarrassed of my body. I'm at my best when I'm pregnant. It's such an amazing feeling, the transformation that your body goes through. There's something about that that's so empowering and beautiful, and I just really embrace it."

Kourtney Kardashian's Instagram post has us worried for her relationship

Interestingly, she said that while some women might find posing nude while pregnant more intimidating, she probably wouldn't consider doing so any other time.

"I would never say never, but I don't think so, no. What appeals to me is celebrating the shape of my body being pregnant and capturing that time in my life... It's a wonderful thing to be able to show my children these photographs one day and say, 'This was you inside.'"

I think I'd pass on looking at naked pictures of my own mom, but then again, we're not Kardashians.

Nobody cares

Montanans are a rare breed. By and large, we mind our own business. Montana is also a hotbed of remote celebrity homes, so we're used to bumping into celebrities. In my little circle, it's not unusual to see Huey Lewis at the grocery store or at the brewery I hang out in from time to time. He's just one of the locals. Montanans typically respond with a smile and shoulder shrug. Nobody really cares. Montana is a big place; there's room for all.

The story behind Scarlett Johansson's baby's name is oh, so sweet

Wealth doesn't impress us

Generally speaking, Montanans aren't impressed by wealth. We're more impressed by the studliness of your 4x4, how far you can backpack into the wilderness, how long you can work or play in the cold without complaining, how many beers you can drink without appearing drunk, the size of the antlers on the bull elk you bagged last hunting season and how big of a brown trout you can catch on a dry fly.

Montanans love their privacy. We're friendly people, but we love breathing room between us and our neighbors. There's so much freedom in the big fields and acreage that separate us. Even if you live in a high-density neighborhood like I do, you are still looking at vast fields, valleys and mountains. It makes us feel like we're our own bosses and free to live our lives in privacy.

7 differences between Avenger 2's trailer No. 1 and trailer No. 2

If we love that, can you imagine how celebrities who live in a fishbowl under the constant glare of cameras bulbs feel about it? Montana must make celebrities feel like kids again — free to do, say and live however they want without fear of being photographed or ending up in the tabloids. A real Montanan would never sell a celebrity story to a tabloid as a "source." We have too much respect for our (and everyone else's) privacy.

Lack of helicopters

Celebrity weddings are usually marked by a swarm of helicopters hovering overhead, so that uninvited photogs can snap "exclusive" pictures. That would never work in Montana. If we saw that much air traffic, we'd assume the National Guard had been called in for some reason. If you're a Montanan and you hear or see a helicopter, you can assume one of three things: someone's being taken to the hospital, someone's rescuing a hiker or hunter or someone's dropping fire retardant on a wildfire.

Who are they going to tell?

Don't misunderstand me. Montana's small towns are not without their gossips. In small populations, there isn't a lot to do other than speculate about who's doing what. But, if someone saw a celebrity downtown, they'd share it with their neighbor, who would gasp and then share their brush with a celebrity and that would be that. Then they'd revert back to gossiping about the high school quarterback and the young bank teller. Who are these people going to tell when you live in a town of 60 people anyway? Even if the gossip spreads like wildfire, it’s not going very far.

It’s beautiful

Getting married is an emotional time. You feel on top of the world, so why not go to a place where you can literally be on top of the world? Montana's views are spectacular, and I can personally assure you that whatever pictures you've seen can't ever fully capture the magnificence of it all. Until you've stood on a river bottom and looked at one of Montana's beautiful stretches of river with a snow-capped mountain backdrop or gone to the top of one of our mountains and looked out, you haven't really experienced Montana's beauty.

Celebrities have the wealth and means to travel to all corners of the globe, but Montana offers a unique setting other places can't. When you combine that with friendly, laid-back folks and assured privacy and anonymity, why wouldn't a celebrity secretly wed in Montana?

Well, maybe a big bottle of wine to enjoy with these bite-size comfort food classics would be a tiny bit better. We're talking one-bite chicken and waffles, little stuffing nuggets, lasagna you can just pop into your mouth and spicy quinoa bites, friends. You might never go back to regular comfort food again.

It's officially December, and you know what that means: time to gorge all five senses with all things Christmas. There's Christmas music for your earholes, cinnamon-scented everything for your nose, fuzzy sweaters to touch and delicious cookies to cram down your gullet. We've got your eyeballs covered with these 25 Christmas movies that are so bad they're good. Yes, it's technically the second day of the month, but that doesn't mean you can't binge-watch every awful movie on this list before Christmas rolls around.

Grumpy Cat's Christmas movie is the best thing you'll see this season

1. Happy Naked Christmas (2003)

Also known as Happy Ero Christmas, where the Ero is short for erotic, this movie is hands-down the weirdest on the list, in which a low-ranking police officer and a mob boss battle for a woman's virginity by Christmas. Not really safe for work, but amazingly bad, so try to squeeze it in if you can.

2. All American Christmas Carol (2013)

Poor Taryn Manning. She is doomed to be typecast into trailer-park trash roles for the rest of her life. Pennsatucky stars in this one as a trashy mom who gets a visit from three ghosts who show her how to not suck. Lots of mullets to be had.

3. The Christmas That Almost Wasn't (1966)

Proof that not all nostalgia is good, this movie chronicles the trials of Santa Claus as he struggles to pay the rent on the North Pole. It is both terribly depressing and terribly dubbed into English from Italian. Enjoy.

4. Santa Baby (2006)

As a rule, we don't expect made-for-TV movies to be cinematic masterpieces, but this one, starring Jenny McCarthy as Santa's daughter Mary, is just hard to watch.

5. Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe (2009)

This one is even harder.

6. Santa with Muscles (1996)

In an attempt to capitalize on Hulkomania, this film cast Hulk Hogan as an evil millionaire. Nothing could be better than the Wikipedia synopsis on this film, so here it is:

"Whilst on the way to a cage match one day, [Blake is] chased by the police, he drives recklessly in his car to a shopping mall and hides out inside, changing into a Santa Claus costume. He slides down a garbage chute to escape the police and bangs his head to get amnesia. Mistaken by Lenny (Don Stark) as the mall Santa, Blake begins to think he is Santa Claus. Meanwhile, Evil scientist Ebner Frost (Ed Begley Jr.) tries to take over an orphanage in order to gain access to the magical crystals underneath it and dispatches his henchmen to destroy it, but Blake manages to save the children."

Oh. Lord.

 7. Happy Christmas (2014)

Oh, Anna Kendrick, why? This film got excellent reviews, but the unwashed masses beg to differ. It has a whopping one-star average on Netflix, and appears to be trying to bore us all to death under the pretense of "dramedy." Anna plays a millennial who can't get it together, so she goes to live with her boring brother. That's mostly it.

8. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)

This movie is consistently considered one of the worst movies of all time, and it's amazing. I don't want to spoil the plot too much, but let's just say that Santa is abducted to Mars when the Martians decide that he's corrupting their vulnerable Martian children. High jinks ensue.

 9. Santa's Slay (2005)

Not to be left off of the wrestlers-as-actors bandwagon, this film starts wrestler Bill Goldberg as an evil Santa who kills people by drowning them in eggnog and suffocating them with turkey legs. Perfect if you enjoy holiday themed gore — and who doesn't?

10. Surviving Christmas (2004)

Ben Affleck, and not the good kind, either.

Ben Affleck drops his pants for Gone Girl (and you can see it all)

11. Santa Buddies (2009)

Santa Buddies is a spin-off of Air Buddies, the talking Golden Retriever puppies who were in turn a spin-off of Air Bud, the basketball-playing dog. In it, a bunch of puppies who represent borderline offensive stereotypes rescue Christmas from Mr. S. Cruge, who hates Christmas, shockingly enough.

12. The Search for Santa Paws (2010)

In turn, this movie is a spin-off of Santa Buddies and has it all: talking dogs, an imperiled Santa Claus, adorable orphans and a big-city adventure. If you like your Christmas movies formulaic and heavy handed, this one's for you.

13. Christmas Evil (1980)

In this prequel to Silent Night, Deadly Night, a young boy sees his mother being heavy-petted by his father, who is dressed up as Santa. So of course he grows up to be just like Santa, but more murder-y. You know, like you do.

14. Stalking Santa (2006)

This mockumentary about Santologist Dr. Lloyd Darrow is narrated by William Shatner and successfully taps into the lucrative market of Santa conspiracy theory comedy. Just kidding. It's terrible.

 15. Christmas Miracle (2012)

This movie is presented by "famed artist" Thomas Kinkade, and chronicles the touching story of eight strangers stuck in a church on Christmas. It's immersive in that the religious aspect of the film is so heavy handed you'll feel like you're stuck in a church, too. On the other hand, this movie is just as good as his paintings.

16. The Christmas Consultant (2012)

Here we have David Hasselhoff being all Hasselfhoff-y as a Christmas party planner/Mary Poppins type. It's supposed to be a feel-good flick but manages to be pretty depressing instead, so it's great if you like your Christmas cheer with a little crushing sadness thrown in.

17. Fred Claus (2007)

This movie was made back when people still thought Vince Vaughn was funny. It follows Santa's lovable screwup brother Fred, and the only redeeming thing about it is a track by Ludacris called "Ludachristmas."

 18. Holiday in Handcuffs (2007)

A disturbing tale about a man who is kidnapped and forced to enter into a farcical romantic relationship with Melissa Joan Hart. Just kidding, it's a romantic comedy about a man who is kidnapped and forced to enter into a farcical romantic relationship with Melissa Joan Hart.

 19. Christmas with a Capital C (2011)

Evil atheist Mitch wants everyone in Trapper Falls, Alaska, to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," but quickly changes his tune once he realizes that his disbelief is just a manifestation of his inner turmoil and that he just needed to hug it out.

20. Battle Royale II: Requiem (2003)

This film checks back in on Shuya, a survivor of Battle Royale, which was the Hunger Games back before those were a thing. Shuya is now a terrorist, and while it's not particularly Christmas-y, it does occur around Christmas, and it's a Battle Royale film, so it counts because I say it does.

21. The Christmas Shoes (2002)

Remember that awful song about Christmas shoes that truckers, your grandmother, and probably Kirk Cameron really liked? Well, there's a movie about it, too. How they managed to stretch a 5-minute song into an hour-and-a-half-long movie is beyond me, but it's still as saccharine-sweet as the tune and will have you singing the song whether you like it or not.

Kirk Cameron wants moms to get back in the kitchen and save Christmas

22. Jack Frost (1997)

This cult favorite is about a serial killer who dies and comes back as a snowman. An evil, stabby snowman. It's horrible, but in the best possible way.

23. Jack Frost (1998)

By contrast, this one's about a mediocre father who dies and comes back as a snowman. A snowball-throwing, advice-giving snowman. It's not as good as the 1997 horror film, but the special effects actually manage to make the movie more terrifying.

24. How the Grinch Stole Christmas(2000)

Aka that time Jim Carrey ruined one of your favorite books and killed your childhood.

 25. I'll be Home for Christmas (1998)

Remember this movie about JTT trying to race home for the holidays, where he has to leap over massive gaping plot holes? You do now. You're welcome, I guess.

Man Candy Mondays: Jonathan Taylor Thomas

A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon named Dr. Randal Haworth has invented the NightLift bra, which pretty much sounds like a detention camp that each of your boobs retreat to — separately — where they spend eight hours in seclusion each night. Instead of working like a regular bra that holds up both breasts, this one features two "sling-like" compartments that cradle and hold up each breast in order to prevent them from sagging and getting wrinkles.

Haworth has been perfecting his bra for six years now and after creating an astounding 47 prototypes. The doctor got his idea after realizing many European women sleep in their bras and, as a result, have firmer breasts than their American cousins who let it all hang out at night.

But don't even think of simply keeping your day bra on at night. That's not going to cut it, sister. The NightLift is wire-free and made of foam and soft microfibers. Haworth says your breasts aren't going to benefit from their structure — which provides "vertical support" — because the "unique gravitational forces" imposed upon them when we're in bed mean we need "lateral and medial" support provided by — you guessed it — the NightLift bra.

The "Sleep Bra" will set you back $98, which is a lot of money for a single lingerie item, but chump change compared to what some people spend on surgery — so you can justify the expense to yourself that way.

Here's the unfortunate news: We didn't learn about this bra before popping out two children and breastfeeding for months and months. In other words: The surgeon says it works for perfect for pert breasts that haven't sagged yet, but won't fix any sag or wrinkles we already have.

I have to say — as someone who wore a soft nursing bra for months — you kinda get used to it and I don't think it's that big a sacrifice to make if you are determined to have the breasts of a 20-year-old at 80. Then again, what if the bra doesn't work wonders and you realize in years to come that you've — gasp! — aged like everyone else and could have been far more comfy while you slept? I say: an interesting idea, but not as amazing as unleashing your boobs from boob jail at night.
