Jessica Simpson's baby bump watch

0

Jessica Simpson continues to dodge the paparazzi with big bags in front of her midsection as she hides her possible second pregnancy.

JessicaSimpsonBabyBumpWatch

The Jessica Simpson baby bump watch continues as Us Weekly and numerous sources continue to blab about the Weight Watchers spokeswoman's second pregnancy. While everyone is busy blabbing Simpson's news, the Fashion Star judge has remained oddly silent.

During her first pregnancy, the fashionista was happy to share every moment of her pregnancy from cravings to flatulence. Her continued silence most likely means that the star is still in her first trimester and she is keeping it all under wraps until the second trimester.

The paparazzi are hounding the star right now in the hope of catching that baby bump that Hollywood loves so much. However, Simpson is using all the tricks of the trade from wearing slimming black to hiding a big purse in front of her stomach. If that doesn't work, carrying 7-month-old baby girl, Maxwell, or a few holiday shopping bags should do the trick.

Another important fact, noted by a source at Us Weekly, is that the 32-year-old is avoiding alcohol. At her pal CaCee Cobb's birthday at the Polo Lounge, a diner noted, "Jessica ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with onion rings," while the rest of the table celebrated with a round of cocktails.

Reportedly, she had her server take a note of her beverage order with, "Guess what? I'm drinking ginger ale!"

Is that to quell a nauseous tummy that seems to be going around with every pregnant celebrity these days?

Only time will tell, but time is running out as the media clocks her every move until the big announcement from Simpson and her fiancé, Eric Johnson.

It looks like Renee Zellweger has herself a new man

Renee Zellweger has dated many celebrities, but it looks like she is going back to her roots and dating a college friend.

Renee Zellweger

Although Renee Zellweger has been slightly luckier in love than her on-screen character Bridget Jones, she has still had many ups and downs. She had two high-profile relationships, to Jim Carrey and Jack White, before marrying Kenny Chesney in 2005. However, the couple said they would be annulling that marriage just four months later.

But it looks like the 43-year-old has found love again. Cameras caught Zellweger with Doyle Bramhall II at LAX on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

"The couple wore matching black coats, jeans and shades as they walked through the Los Angeles airport together," said Us Weekly. "The new romance sounds like it was a long time coming."

In fact, the new couple has apparently known each other for a while.

"They went to college together," a source told Us Weekly. "It's going really well."

Bramhall is a producer and guitarist and he most recently dated singer Sheryl Crow, someone he had also known for a long time prior to making it romantic.

"Bramhall, 43, previously dated singer Crow in 2011," said Us Weekly. "The two, who were friends for 15 years before dating, met on tour while Bramhall was her guitarist."

Neither half of the new couple has commented on their relationship, but the kiss was unmistakable. Bramhall is the son of legendary guitarist Doyle Bramhall, and has played with acts like Roger Waters and Eric Clapton. The 43-year-old spent five years in Clapton’s band and will return on tour with the musician in 2013.

Zellweger was nominated for an Oscar for her lead role in Bridget Jones’ Diary and will once again be reprising that role next year. According to the Internet Movie Database, Bridget Jones’ Baby is currently in the works and will be the third movie in the Bridget Jones series. Author Helen Fielding is only just now writing the third novel, making the movie somewhat of a question mark.

The film is set to come out in 2013, nine years after the last film.

SAG Awards withhold their carrots from The Master

0
0
The film was considered one of the frontrunners for awards season, but the SAG Awards today proved that may not be true. But did Joaquin Phoenix's comments in October hurt their chances?

Joaquin Phoenix

Since it was released earlier this year, critics have been talking about The Master’s chances during awards season. But when the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations were released Wednesday morning, it proved those critics might be wrong.

"For a time, he was this year's coveted favourite for best actor, but the Oscar bellwether that is the Screen Actors Guild Awards snubbed Joaquin Phoenix and his critically acclaimed movie, The Master, as its nominations were announced on Wednesday," said The Guardian.

But if Phoenix has been honest in recent interviews, he is not crying over the lack of nomination, for himself or his movie.

"Amid howls of outrage from fans of Phoenix, there was speculation that he had shot himself in the foot with his recent bad-mouthing of the awards season and the Oscars in particular," said the newspaper.

Back in October, the actor spoke out about his distaste for awards season.

"It's totally subjective. Pitting people against each other... It's the stupidest thing in the whole world,” he said, according to the LA Times. "I never want to have that experience again. I don't know how to explain it — and it's not like I'm in this place where I think I'm just above it — but I just don't ever want to get comfortable with that part of things. It's a carrot, but it's the worst-tasting carrot I've ever tasted in my whole life."

Philip Seymour Hoffman earned the only nomination for the film, for Best Supporting Actor. And while many movie experts are saying it could be that Phoenix’s comments hurt the movie, one other snub may dispel that idea.

"It's probably a factor but the fact that they did not nominate Amy Adams suggests that they are not responding to the film," Oliver Lyttelton, a film blogger told The Guardian. "The Master seems to turn off as many people as it turns on."

Another film critic, Kristopher Tapley, an editor with Hitfix.com, said the idea that many didn’t appreciate the film was an important factor for its awards possibilities.

"If anything is holding Phoenix — or Amy Adams, by the way, who also didn't make the cut where many thought she would — it's simply that The Master isn't resonating."

The SAG awards nominations could be a fluke for a movie, but they will find out when the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations are announced in December and January.

Sarah Jessica Parker stopped at Oslo airport

Sarah Jessica Parker's long ride home to New York got even longer after a member of her entourage stole a pair of sunglasses at the Oslo, Norway, airport.

SarahJessicaParkerOsloAirportSarah Jessica Parker was just trying to get home to her family when her entire entourage was stopped at the Oslo, Norway, airport. It turns out there was a thief among them.

Parker, who was in town for the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize Concert, was on her way home to the US when the Oslo airport police pulled her group aside. One member of the actress's entourage had stolen a pair of sunglasses.

The matter was easily cleared up when the guilty party admitted to the theft.

A spokesperson from the Oslo airport, who spoke with E! News, said, "I can confirm a member of Sarah Jessica Parker's entourage was blocked from getting on a plane for stealing sunglasses. She accepted the fine of $8,000 krones and was let go."

Earlier on Wednesday, it was erroneously reported that the accused was the Sex and the City star's assistant. That rumor turned out to be false when the Nobel Institute issued a statement that identified the member of Parker's party by trade.

The rep said, "This individual is not an employee of and has no connection to the Nobel Institute, which awards the Peace Prize and presents the Peace Prize Concert. She is a freelance make-up artist who was contracted by an outside agency that specializes in that area."

The group did miss their flight back to the States, but they were able to catch a later flight. However, the make-up artist is probably looking for a new job right now.

The whole Beckham family is ridiculously gorgeous

Photos snapped at the opening of the Spice Girls' new London musical prove that Victoria and David's three boys are growing up just as pretty as their parents.

Beckham family at Viva Forever premiere

Good looks aren't automatically passed on from parent to child, but the Beckham kids sure won the jackpot.

Red carpet photos of the Beckham family taken at the premiere of Viva Forever!, a.k.a. "the Spice Girls musical," prove that Posh and Becks' three boys are growing up to be mini-GQ guys just like their gorgeous pop.

At 13, Brooklyn Beckham is almost as dapper as dad David Beckham, clad in a skinny suit and an open-collared white shirt.

Man Candy Mondays: David Beckham>>

Romeo Beckham, 10, either has a hair stylist or had Mom and Dad help him with the gel. And little Cruz Beckham, 7, ably sports his suit, though he swapped out dress shoes for sneakers, as befits a wiggly second-grader.

Little Harper Seven Beckham, who's just 1, didn't make an appearance. Home in bed, no doubt. She'll have years to learn to pose for the cameras with one foot slightly in front of the other, as Victoria Beckham demonstrates in this image.

Viva Forever!, which is not actually about the Spice Girls, but uses Spice Girls songs throughout, didn't fare quite as well as the Beckham clan did.

The reviewer for The Telegraph gave the show one star and opened his review by mocking, "I'll tell you what I wanted, what I really really wanted — I wanted this terrible show to stop."

"The Spice Girls may have been many things, but the authors of a back catalogue packed with deathless pop classics is not among them: they sold records on the basis of the members' perceived personalities rather than the quality of the songs they sang," writes Guardian critic Alexis Petridis.

Victoria Beckham - Hottest Celebrity Moms>>

Also, "the lyrics are required to drive the action on, and the lyrics of Spice Girls songs are appalling, a state of affairs underlined when they are sung in the carefully enunciated style of musical theatre: 'Let the flashbulb pierce your veins'."

The Spice Girls themselves all attended the premiere at London's Piccadilly Theatre, and afterwards praised the show: "It was [expletive] great!" the Associated Press quotes Melanie Brown as saying.

Melanie Chisholm, a.k.a. Sporty Spice, said, "If people criticize it, we don't care — because we love it."

Apparently, the crowd agreed: The Guardian's Petridis said that "judging by the crowds of thirty something ladies leaving the theatre singing Stop and Say You'll Be There, Viva Forever! is critic-proof."

Navigating Christmas with a newborn

When you’re managing life with a newborn, Christmas can really sneak up on you. Take the holidays one step at time, be realistic about what you can accomplish, and learn how to manage all those loved ones who are eager to meet the newest member of your family.


Celebrate with your new bundle of joy

When you’re managing life with a newborn, Christmas can really sneak up on you. Take the holidays one step at a time, be realistic about what you can accomplish, and learn how to manage all those loved ones who are eager to meet the newest member of your family.

As you celebrate your baby’s first Christmas, learn how to navigate the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Take it easy and set firm boundaries and you’ll be able to enjoy the season, even if you and your little blessing nap through most of it.

Make time to feed in peace

Whether you’re breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, carve out peaceful time to feed your newborn. The key here is to do what’s most comfortable for you and for your baby. Even if you’re comfortable nursing in public, your baby might be easily distracted by lights and sounds. Don’t stress about what others may think if you prefer to feed your baby in public. If you have guests in the house, be firm about what you need during feeding time. If you’re at a guest’s home, communicate clearly when you need to feed your baby and what you need to feed your baby comfortably.

Ask for help when you need it

No one expects you to be a superhero when you’re navigating life with a newborn. Over the holidays, learn how to ask for help. Know that your friends and family absolutely understand that life is hectic and focused on your baby. Ask for help with meals, with wrapping presents, or even with getting some housework done before guests arrive for the holidays and to visit the new baby. If you find yourself stressed and unable to cope, talk to your partner or give your doctor a call. There’s no reason to suffer alone.

Learn how to reduce the stress of the holidays>>

Avoid situations that make you uneasy

Holiday gatherings can be loud and full of relatives you rarely see. If you find that you’re being pushed outside of your comfort zone, give yourself permission to pull back. Feel free to set strict parameters around who holds your baby. Ask everyone to wash hands thoroughly. If you feel more comfortable skipping big gatherings this year, just say so. No one will fault you for needing to take it easy when you’re operating on very little sleep and your attention is focused on your baby.

Find out how to survive the holidays with your family>>

Have someone take lots of photos

Document the holiday season by asking a friend or your partner to take camera duty. This is a special time, and one you’ll likely forget the details of thanks to sleep deprivation and the general fog that comes with nurturing a tiny baby. Bring a camera along if you attend holiday parties, and let people take photos of you, your family and others at the gathering. Later, when you’re settled into a more reasonable routine, you’ll appreciate having your holiday memories documented.

McKayla Maroney is not impressed with meanies

0

Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney said her infamous expression on the medal stand showed her how mean some people could be — but it also led to one of the coolest moments of her young life.

McKayla Maroney

To some, McKayla Maroney is a spoiled American who couldn't handle losing. To others, she's an ungrateful teen who thought she was too good for silver. But to her, she was just a 16-year-old girl who fell short of her goal and made the mistake of showing her disappointment with herself on the world stage.

Needless to say, McKayla is not impressed with the haters.

"It was just a moment of complete shock," Maroney told Yahoo! Sports. "I can't even remember much of that day. I remember the day before watching other Americans on the medal stand and hearing the anthem. I remember wishing it had gone differently, and I had an expression on my face for two seconds."

"It was hard to accept," she said. "I'm not a brat. There were people who really hurt my feelings, people who were saying things that just weren't true."

And then came McKayla is Not Impressed, a Tumblr full of memes of the young gymnast utterly unimpressed with everything from the Great Pyramids to the iPhone 5, and with it an opportunity to embrace her moment of displeasure with grace and humor.

"I've had to learn to deal with mean people, judgmental people," she said. "I'm not even 17 yet!" she told Yahoo! Sports before her birthday on Dec. 9. "But I've learned how to adapt, to turn everything to a positive."

And adapt she did, not only embracing the meme but encouraging it by tweeting a picture of herself and her teammates making the infamous face after learning their hotel pool was closed, among various other "not impressed" poses. The kicker came when President Barack Obama joined her in being unimpressed with her visit to the Oval Office, making the face for a White House photographer.

"That was the coolest moment of my life," she said. "He was such a nice guy. Being in the Oval Office was an amazing experience."

Sounds like McKayla is finally impressed!

Arrow recap: Deadly Dad

There's a new Hood in town and this guy will stop at nothing to destroy our favorite hooded vigilante.

Arrow the copycat

There is a hooded archer wreaking havoc on the bad guys of Starling City and no, it’s not Oliver Queen. There's a copycat on the loose and this guy’s out for blood. Instead of wounding a villain with a few warning arrows, he actually kills someone. The story spreads like wildfire that the city’s hooded vigilante has finally crossed the line and should be punished.

Back at the Queen residence, Malcolm Merlyn   has joined the family for a dinner party, which is severely lacking in Christmas decorations. At the party, Walter receives a call from his beautiful tech-savvy assistant, Felicity, who is working to decode Moira’s little black book . Felicity has deciphered the names and puts it together that The Hood is taking these people down.

Next on the list is Doug, a man who works for their company. Walter warns Doug that The Hood may be gunning for him. Doug pretends not to know anything, but then goes straight to Merlyn with the news Walter may be on to them.

Oliver  discovers another reason to throw a party when he finds out his family hasn't celebrated Christmas since the accident. At the massive Christmas party, Digg pulls him aside to show him a newscast that the copycat has taken hostages and is threatening to kill them if the real Hood doesn’t turn himself in. So, of course, he has to leave his own party… again.

Arrow duels

Oliver flies in to rescue the hostages and winds up in an exciting archery duel with the copycat. Oliver gets nailed in the back a few times and actually ends up on the ground, the copycat standing over him, about to reveal Oliver's identity. But just in time, our hero is able to stab the villain in the leg. As the bad guy hobbles away he takes off his mask and it’s… Merlyn! Tommy’s dad is the killer.

Digg  comes to Oliver’s aid and takes him home. While he’s recuperating, Merlyn’s henchmen kidnap Walter. Merlyn tells Moira that Walter will be controlled so they can complete the organization’s vision for the city.

Oliver has a lot to consider while he’s on winter break. In January he needs to figure out how to rescue Walter and hopefully figure out if his mother is involved. And now he has a new goal: to find the man behind the copycat mask and take him down.

1600 Penn introduces a new first family

Take a sneak peek at the new show starring Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman on NBC this winter.

1600PennNBC

There's a new president heading to the White House in January. You might think it's President Barack Obama for his second term in office, but it's actually actor Bill Pullman, whose new show 1600 Penn will be inaugurated on the NBC network in January.

SheKnows was lucky enough to visit the set and meet the cast of the new single camera sitcom that the network is describing as "the average American family dealing with all the everyday issues." Of course, those issues happen at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the address of the White House.

The set in Los Angeles is tucked away on the 20th Century Fox lot, but the set designers clearly attended to every detail when it came to constructing a realistic-looking Oval Office. They took inspiration from former President George W Bush's decor with the sunrays design in the rug, but they added the quotations around the border of the rug from the Obama administration. Family photos of the cast were added along with touches of famous presidents like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

The roundtable discussion about 1600 Penn happened in a replica of the White House kitchen where the cast, creators and show runner all stopped by to discuss their new show just as they were filming the season finale.

Gilchrist1600Penn

The stars of the show are Hollywood veterans, with Independence Day star — he played the president in that film, too — Bill Pullman starring as President Gilchrist and Dharma and Greg star Jenna Elfman as his First Lady.

Elfman told SheKnows that this show is "geared towards family." That is exactly why Pullman took on this role even though he has been asked to play the dad role on TV before.

He said, "It's more theatrical than a domestic story in another setting… and there's incredible contrast between public life and private life. Then, that's good for comedy."

As the First Lady, it is clear that Elfman is relishing the wardrobe of her character since she is rocking lots of sheath dresses in each episode. It helps that the actress has a personal obsession with Michelle Obama to help inspire some of the "innumerable" wardrobe choices.

The actress says, "There's no reason a First Lady has to be staid, dull and boring really! I think Michelle Obama has really cracked that open which I love. It's always classy, but it's forward and it's contemporary and youthful."

Even with a few references to the current administration, don't expect this to be a play-by-play of the Obamas' family life.

Creator and former White House speech writer Jon Lovett wanted to keep the show politically neutral, stating, "Whether or not the president is a Democrat or Republican would only short-change what we could potentially do and it would add an element that has really nothing to do with what we are trying to do with the show."

JoshGad1600Penn

What the viewers are going to see is mayhem, chaos and comedy with the president's children. The kids are wild, but lovable, with Broadway sensation Josh Gad, from Book of Mormon, starring as their grown son, Skip, who moves back home. Add in three other kids with their own issues — from struggling with sexuality to dealing with teen pregnancy — and you get a recipe for hilarity.

Based on our chat with the cast of actors who play the kids, it just may be 12-year-old Benjamin Stockham — who plays the president's youngest son, Xander — who is going to steal the show.

When asked if he models his on-set experiences after the current White House kids, Sasha and Malia, he quipped, "I kind of just wing it."

The good news is that viewers do not have to wait for the official premiere on Jan. 10, 2013 to join in on the adventures of the Gilchrist family. 1600 Penn will offer a sneak peek at the first episode on Monday, Dec. 17 at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Lindsay Lohan begs to keep storage locker private

Lindsay Lohan's storage locker is poised to go to auction by the end of the month! Unless one of the troubled star's rich friends steps in to help, someone will soon own a whole lot of LiLo's prize possessions.

Lindsay Lohan

The skeletons hidden in Lindsay Lohan's storage locker are about to come out! The actress is reportedly so behind in payments on the unit that it's set to go to auction by the end of the month.

The Liz & Dick actress, whose trouble with the law shows no sign of ending, owes a full $16,000 in payments on her storage locker, according to TMZ. The contents of the unit? No-one knows for sure, but it's rumored there are "expensive designer clothes, family heirlooms and potentially embarrassing items" inside.

Lindsay has reportedly turned to friends to beg for a loan, forced to plead for help because her bank accounts have been seized by the IRS due to unpaid taxes. So far, no-one — not even Charlie Sheen — has offered to fork over 16 large.

This holiday season is shaping up to be a tough one for the 26-year-old, whose The Parent Trap days seem like a lifetime ago. Due to her legal troubles, which include being charged with three misdemeanors, she could soon be spending 245 days behind bars.

Judge revokes Lindsay Lohan's probation>>

While some in the Twitterverse are feeling sympathetic toward the star, such as one person who tweeted, "Lindsay Lohan makes me sad. The woman needs a hug. ," others are not.

In a faux-news announcement another user tweeted, "Storage Wars bought Lindsay Lohan's storage locker today and when they opened it up they found her career lying there dead."

Is it fair to put Lindsay Lohan's storage locker up for auction while her accounts are frozen?

Jon Stewart names least favorite The Daily Show guest ever

0
0
Jon Stewart interviews celebrities every night on The Daily Show, but it took 10 years for him to really be unhappy with one of those celebrities. Who irritated him so much that years later he still remembers?

Hugh grant

In the 14 years Jon Stewart has been on air as the host of The Daily Show, he has interviewed a lot of guests. So to stand out to the host, in either direction, seems like it would be quite the feat. Stephen Colbert interviewed The Daily Show host recently during a fundraiser and when he asked Stewart who his least favorite guest has been, he didn't seem to hesitate to answer.

To Stewart, Hugh Grant is the worst guest he has had. The British actor appeared on Stewart’s show to promote his 2009 film Did you Hear About the Morgans? and, according to Stewart, complained the entire time.

"He's giving everyone s*** the whole time, and he's a big pain in the a**," Stewart told Colbert in the interview, according to Yahoo.

Stewart added that Grant was reportedly unhappy with the clip of the film provided by his publicist.

"What is that clip? It's a terrible clip," Grant reportedly said, and Stewart replied, "Well, then make a better f***ing movie."

Stewart said Grant is one of the guests he will never allow back on the show. The interview with Colbert turned to other topics, including Stewart’s first days on The Daily Show, when he took over for Craig Kilborn.

"I walk in the door, into a room with the writers and producers, and the first thing they say is, 'This isn't some MTV bull****.' ... And then I was told not to change the jokes or improvise," he told Colbert, according to Yahoo. "[I told my agent] get me the f*** out of this. These people are insane ... I had to be talked down from a moderately high cliff ... What I did not realize is, a lot of the people who worked there were a**holes."

But it worked out. The Daily Show is about to hit its 17th anniversary being on the air, 14 years of which Stewart has been host.

Kelly Osbourne's weight loss secret: Come on, get happy!

Kelly Osbourne knows a thing or two about weight loss. The self-described "former fat person" believes those who are miserable will never see true success.

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne wants to make one thing clear to those who now envy her svelte form — she got happy before she got thin!

In a new interview with In Touch Weekly, Kelly Osbourne reveals life is full of surprises, and these days she's doing things she never would have imagined when she was heavier.

"[Working out] is something I really enjoy doing," the 5-foot-2-inch Fashion Police host, who now weighs a trim 112 pounds, admitted. "I never thought I’d be that kind of girl."

Rehabbed Kelly Osbourne now drinks "for fun">>

Describing the daily routine to keep the pounds away, Osbourne went on, "I do up to half an hour of cardio, and I also do circuit training, yoga or Pilates — I mix it up."

Aside from one cheat day a week during which she can eat whatever she fancies, the 28-year-old sticks to a simple combination of foods.

"For breakfast, I will eat either cereal or a little omelet thingy made with egg whites, mushrooms and spinach," she shared. "Lunch is usually a salad or a turkey burger. And then for dinner, I’ll have brown rice with vegetables and some kind of meat."

More celebrity weight loss news from SheKnows>>

Diet and exercise aside, Kelly Osbourne insists happiness is the bottom line. The woman who famously lost 50 pounds during her spin on Dancing with the Stars explained, "People think I lost weight and then got happy, but that's not how it works. You have to get happy first. I made a life change, and the weight loss was an amazing perk."

Do you believe Kelly Osbourne's "get happy" advice is the real key to weight loss?

Are Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde planning a wedding?

The couple's relationship has moved fast. In one year, they have gone from dating to moving in together. But will the next step be happening sooner than we realized?

Jason Sudeikis Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde may be one of the cutest couples in Hollywood right now. So much so that it’s hard to believe they have only been together for a year. Wilde recently moved to New York to be with her boyfriend and it looks like things may have gotten really serious really fast.

According to RadarOnline, the couple is secretly engaged and plans to get married very soon. A source told the website that Sudeikis and Wilde were spotted in his hometown of Kansas City recently, with Wilde flashing an engagement ring.

"Everyone in town is buzzing about the wedding," the source said. "They have already booked the venue and are in the process of finalizing the rest of the details."

Talk about art imitating life. It sounds like Sudeikis’s storyline on 30 Rock, except this time the girl is coming with him. A wedding in the actor’s hometown would make sense.

"Jason is a hometown boy at heart, and he is super close to his family and all his friends there," the source told RadarOnline. "It has always been his dream to get married back in Kansas City."

Wilde’s rep told The Huffington Post that the couple is not engaged, but they have never been shy about sharing their feelings about each other . Wilde recently told Glamour magazine that the couple is "blissfully, hopefully, wildly in love."

The actress added that every area of their relationship is going in the right direction.

Wilde’s publicist also added to RadarOnline that the couple is "very happy together but they are just not engaged."

Meanwhile, Wilde’s multi-million-dollar LA area home is up for sale, and Wilde is happily living with Sudeikis in New York. And maybe someday the couple will even work together.

"We talk about it all the time. We're constantly doing bits together," she recently told USA Today. "One day, someone will turn a camera on that. It would be a good movie."

Tonight's to do list: Watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Sure, it's Thursday, but stay up late! You must see this episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy Fallon interviews Billy Joel

Do you enjoy Bob Dylan? What about Jimmy Fallon? How about Jimmy Fallon pretending to be Bob Dylan? Kind of the best of both worlds, right?

Whether December has you singing "fa la la" or mumbling "bah humbug," tonight's episode of Late Night is perfect for everyone. Taking a challenge from the audience suggestion box, Jimmy Fallon will combine two of Don DiMarco's favorite things: Bob Dylan and that "Jingle Bells" parody we learned in first grade.

As is the case with anything Jimmy Fallon does: The performance is golden. Check out a clip...

This isn't Fallon's first impression. He's recently made a name for himself by showcasing his musical talents in the form of celebrity imitations. Fallon has also pretended he was Justin Bieber, Neil Young and The Doors' Jim Morrison doing the Reading Rainbow theme. Another time, as himself, he did a slow-jam duet with President Barack Obama. Not only has Fallon proven to be a true comedian, but his impersonations are always near-perfection and his guitar-playing skills are pretty decent as well.

Also, don't turn off Fallon after he's done pretending to be a folk legend. Stick around for the rest of the show, too. He'll premiere another day of his "12 days of Christmas sweaters". He'll also have three great guests: Martin Short, Billy Joel and John Cena. Martin Short will be there to talk about and promo his Saturday appearance on SNL. Meanwhile, Billy Joel will stop by to reminisce about last night's 12.12.12 concert to benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy and Cena will discuss WWE Tribute to the Troops. Also on the stage, comedian Neal Brennan.

Hit the bathroom before you turn on Late Night. Jimmy's known for busting guts!

Lindsey Vonn opens up about struggle with depression

The 28-year-old skier seems to have it all, but after a divorce she decided to open up about her recent struggles.

Lindsey Vonn

Taking one look at Lindsey Vonn, it would be easy to imagine she has the perfect life. The "most-decorated skier in US history" has a successful career that includes multi-million dollar endorsement deals. But things are not always as they seem from the outside.

"Everything about my life seemed so perfect to people," Vonn told People. "But I struggle like everyone else."

The skier filed for divorce from her husband of four years, Thomas Vonn — who was also her manager and coach — in 2011. Vonn is also an Olympic skier. Before their divorce, she spoke about their life together.

"We learned you can hash out a lot in confined spaces," she told The New York Times. "As husband and wife we know that sometimes we have to flip the switch and be a normal couple, not a coach and athlete. We don't talk about racing as much as you might think."

But she said even years before their marriage went bad she suffered from depression.

"I couldn't get out of bed anymore," she said of her life in 2008. "I felt hopeless, empty, like a zombie."

Vonn is still busy with her career. In 2002 she debuted at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City when she was only 17. She also competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics and won the gold medal in the downhill at the 2010 Olympics . She won her latest World Cup just this week, her fourth in only five years. But she is happy to be sharing her struggles with others.

"I feel like I just needed to get everything off my chest," the skier told People.

The 28-year-old is currently on anti-depressants and feels like things are finally going well in her life.

"All the parts of my life are finally in sync," she said. "I accept who I am, and I'm moving forward."

Vonn’s full interview will be featured in this month’s issue of People magazine.

Stick a fork in him: L.A. Reid's out at The X Factor

Another judge bites the dust on The X Factor. Luckily this time, it's of their own choosing. L.A. Reid has decided not to return for another season of the reality competition.

L.A. Reid - The X Factor

The X Factor's no longer a big happy family. One of its four judges is leaving the show. After the current season wraps, Antonio "L.A." Reid is jumping ship. The music exec confirmed his exit on Thursday.

According to Access Hollywood, a third season isn't in the cards for Reid. He broke the news during an interview saying, "I have decided that I will not return to The X Factor next year." He revealed that other responsibilities are in need of his attention. He's still the acting chairman and CEO of Epic Records.

"I have to go back and I have a company to run that I’ve kind of neglected and it saddens me a little bit, but only a little bit," Reid said. "I have a huge responsibility to a roster of artists and it’s kind of time for me to stop doing the 'me' show."

Reid admits that he'll miss working alongside his fellow judges, especially Simon Cowell. "I love Simon. We have a great relationship, we have fun together, we talk, we laugh, we do bad things, we’re friends. I owe so much to Simon," he said. "I really have a lot [of] respect for him and I always will. I support him, I support the show and I’ll always be in business with him."

Well, it's good to know he's leaving on good terms. Reid describes the whole experience as "fun" and claims he "had a great time." But don't feel too bad, he could return at some point down the line. It's just next season that's out of the question.

As of yet, no replacement has been named.

Are you sad to see Reid go?
