Ring the wedding bells… again! On June 22, the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star said ‘I do’ to her ex-husband for a second time.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg are a married couple once again! The couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia on June 22.

Are we ready for the softer side of Yeezy? A source close to the rapper tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he’s been a big teddy bear since his daughter was born, and that he hasn’t stopped showering her with love.

HollywoodLife.com reported exclusively that Kanye West was learning to change diapers, but it turns out he’s doing much more than that as a new father to show his love for his baby girl, North.

Fatherhood: The Softer Side Of Kanye West

“He’s emotional. He’s a new dad so that’s to be expected,” a source close to the 36-year-old rapper tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “Everybody’s about to see a softer side of this guy.”

The insider reveals that since Kim Kardashian gave birth to North on June 15, Kanye has been a real softie of a dad, showering her with love.

“He said he held her and patted her back,” the source says, but even cuter, “He told me he sang to her.” Aww! Let’s just all take a moment and imagine the guy who wrote “Black Skinhead” singing a lullaby to his infant daughter. Adorable, right?

“All he told me was that his girl was ‘the most beautiful girl ever beside her mama.’” Wow — we really like the soft side of Kanye West!

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Name Their Daughter North

Some people turned their heads on June 20 when news broke that Kim and Kanye had named their daughter North, but it turns out the name is just another expression of the pure adoration and love the parents have for their child.

“Kanye doesn’t think he’s a star, but he thinks his little girl is — and her name, North, points in that direction,” a source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

We’re so happy to see how much Kim and Kanye are enjoying being new parents! What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Ichiwawa! Farrah is definitely making sure we notice the upgrades she’s made to her body, posing sexily on the beach for a photo shoot.

When you buy a new pair of shoes you wear them like crazy for the first couple of weeks, right? Well, that’s sort of what’s going on with Farrah Abraham, only she didn’t buy a new pair of shoes — she bought a new pair of breasts.

Farrah Abraham Shows Some Sideboob

On Thursday, June 20, Farrah hit the sandy beach in Malibu, Calif. for a sexy photo shoot. Wearing a barely-there, blinged-out tan bikini, the Teen Mom star’s body was on full display.

And we mean full — the skimpy swimsuit hardly covered her butt and showed off a heaping amount of side boob.

Farrah Abraham’s Breast Surgery

Farrah upgraded her boobs from a C cup to a D on June 2, and she clearly hasn’t gotten over flaunting her new toys.

The Teen Mom-turned-porn-star might be getting some flak for sexing it up so much lately, but she clearly isn’t listening to the haters. “Personally, I want to look my best. And I’m looking amazing,” Farrah told Life & Style.

Farrah, who has a four-year-old daughter, went on to say that she thinks her body is at the perfect level of sexy but not trashy:

I would not get boob implants that were porn star status. I'm very realistic about keeping myself looking natural… No one who meets me thinks I've had plastic surgery. I don't look fake.

Farrah’s loving life right now. And though she’s constantly on the border of exposing herself too much, we’re not going to tell her how to live her life (well, as long as she takes care of her daughter). Don’t hate the player, hate the game, right?

Let us know what you think, HollywoodLifers!

Hollywood Life: Paula Deen Fans Angry At Food Network For Dropping Her

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Paula Deen Fans Angry At Food Network For Dropping Her
Jun 22nd 2013, 20:15

The Southern chef’s fans surprisingly don’t care about her extremely ignorant and racist remarks! A large group of people voiced their anger on Food Network’s Facebook page after it was announced that Paula would not be coming back to the network. Are the fans right or wrong to be outraged?

The Food Network did what they had to do on June 21, cutting ties with Paula Deen after she admitted in a deposition to using the N-word and glorified slavery by stating that she once wanted to host a Civil War-era wedding party that featured only black servers. Even though the Food Network’s decision not renew Paula’s contract seems more than reasonable, a whole slew of Paula supporters took to Facebook to voice their outrage. Do they have a point?

Paula Deen’s Fans Speak Out Against Food Network

After Food Network’s announcement that they were dropping Paula, their Facebook page became the host of some serious hate, all from fans who believed Paula had gotten a raw deal.

“Food Network.. I am firing you. Goodbye,” one user wrote. “Food Network: I just cancelled you! You suck for doing Paula ugly after all the money she has made you,” said another.

Many fans seem to think that Paula deserved a “fair trial,” that the network should have waited to see the outcome of Paula’s harassment case before taking action: “Shame on you Food Network, You could not even wait to see what would happen in this case.. you threw your family member under the bus… where is the loyality in our country,” one poster wrote.

“Dear Food Network… I am completely heart broken that you have decided to pull Paula without a fair trial,” said another user.

Paula Deen: Should She Be Given Another Chance After Racist Comments?

What these diehard fans don’t seem to realize is that there cannot be any excuses when it comes to racism — there should be zero tolerance. The sort of ignorance and prejudice that Paula admitted to has to be squashed, no matter how long ago it happened or how much good she’s done for the network. That sort of behavior in this day and age just can’t slide.

We’re obviously in favor of the Food Network disassociating themselves from Paula Deen, but what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Can you see where her fans are coming from? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: ‘Monsters University’ Reviews: Does The Prequel Live Up To The Original?

thumbnail 'Monsters University' Reviews: Does The Prequel Live Up To The Original?
Jun 22nd 2013, 19:29

Our favorite two lovable monsters finally came back on June 21 in ‘Monsters University,’ the sequel to ‘Monsters Inc.’ The original was such a huge hit, and Pixar flicks never disappoint — so did the sequel live up to the huge expectations?

Monsters University, the sequel — well, actually it’s a prequel — to Monsters Inc. hit theaters on June 21 with huge fanfare. Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) were finally back! Pixar has historically made great movies — just look at how many Oscars they’ve won — and they’ve been especially capable with sequel movies, so we certainly have high hopes for their newest installment. But let’s see what the critics had to say about Monsters University!

‘Monsters University’ Reviews

New York Times

The voices are pleasantly recognizable, and the details meticulously playful, like the jagged, teethlike contours of a building's arched entrance. But the story remains disappointingly familiar, mired in recycled buddy movie dynamics and the usual child-developmental directives about finding yourself and learning to work well with others. Both the originality and stirring emotional complexity of Monsters, Inc., with its exquisitely painful and touching parallels with the human world, are missing, which might be a lot less noticeable if Pixar had taken some bold leaps elsewhere: like making a movie in which girls and women are as central to the story as the boys and men of Pixar, as crucial as Mike and Sulley, Nemo and Marlin, Andy and Buzz and the other creatures great and small and male.

Los Angeles Times

Remember the days when Pixar meant perfection? When you could count on its animation to amaze, its stories to sweep you up? Remember Up? Or the smooth ride in Cars? The Toy Story pals whose friendship was anything but plastic? The love among the ruins unearthed by Wall-E? A clownfish dad’s deep-sea desperation in Finding Nemo? What has happened to the memory makers who gave us all that? They are nowhere to be found at Monsters University, the latest shiny new movie to roll off what increasingly feels like the Disney-Pixar assembly line. Cars 2 certainly sputtered. Even Brave, which won the 2012 Oscar for animated feature, didn’t seem especially brave. Monsters University is not so much substandard. It just isn’t the Ivy League.

New York Magazine

Monsters University is funny, fast, and likable, with occasional moments of real visual surprise and laugh-out-loud offhand gags: A schlumpy school librarian turns into a looming, horrific mountain of evil upon hearing loud noises in her library; a sweet monster mom rolls up the car windows to be alone with her "tunes," which turn out to be death metal; a mild-mannered freshman struggles to learn the true value of his tentacles. But much of this is low-hanging fruit — milking the brilliant conceit of the original movie for all it's worth. Call it the harsh bigotry of insanely high expectations, but it's hard not to feel a little let down by Monsters University. Perhaps only Pixar could give us such a rare beast: a delightful disappointment.

Washington Post

Until Monsters University, a new origin story set several years before the action of Monsters, Inc., [Pixar] had never attempted a prequel. You wonder what took them so long, because the characters Mike (voice of Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) are funny enough and their relationship rich enough to make the back story worth telling. The result is a charming addition to the Monsters canon.

New York Post

Monsters University is yet another play-it-safe cash grab that doesn't aspire to come within light years of even the second tier of Pixar titles — including the three "Toy Story'' films and the original "Cars'' — all of which had genuine multigenerational appeal, if not quite the level of sophistication of the studio's classics.

What? We’re — a disappointing Pixar movie? We’re clearly shocked. It seems Monsters University is — perhaps unfairly — being held up to the standards of classic animation movies, and it just doesn’t quite get there. That being said, a mediocre Pixar movie is likely better than most flicks, so it’s probably still worth catching. Will you see Monsters UniversityHollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: Kristen Stewart Gets A Tattoo In Nashville — Confirmed

thumbnail Kristen Stewart Gets A Tattoo In Nashville — Confirmed
Jun 22nd 2013, 18:30

It’s confirmed! Our favorite cool, laid back actress just got even cooler by getting some body ink on her right wrist. What could the tat be of?!

When Kristen Stewart was spotted hanging out at Pride & Glory Tattoo Parlor in Nashville, Tenn. on June 21, everyone asked the same question: “Is K-Stew getting a tattoo?” Looks like the answer is yes!

Kristen Stewart Gets Some Body Ink

Pride & Glory posted a photo collage of Kristen’s visit to their Facebook page. In the pics, Kristen is hanging with the tattoo parlor staff and smiling for the camera. But most importantly, in one picture Kristen is shown surrounded by the Pride & Glory team holding up her right wrist proudly, sporting what looks to be some ink!

It’s tough to make out, but it appears Kristen got a small, possibly red tattoo on her wrist — and Pride & Glory confirmed that she got work done! Responding to a fan’s question about whether K-Stew got a tat, Pride & Glory wrote, “Yes they all did. She asked us to keep it hush hush.”

The tattoo parlor also added, “Love her. She is a humble amazing soul.” How sweet!

Kristen Stewart’s Tattoo: What Is It For?

Even though Pride & Glory failed to keep the tattoo hush hush, they did manage to keep what exactly it is under wraps. But you know we have a few theories.

First of all, the obvious — could it be a reference to her ex, Robert Pattinson? Not that she’s trying to make some grand, permanent gesture to win him back, but he is such a huge part of her life, and she was so broken up when they split — it wouldn’t surprise us in the least if she got a small tattoo to get more closure and signify that she’s turning a new leaf in her life.

On the other hand, Kristen has been on a whirlwind road trip with her friends for over a week, going through New Mexico to Texas to Louisiana to Tennessee. And Pride & Glory’s note that “they all” got tattoos might suggest that K-Stew and her group of friends all got some ink together to commemorate their trip.

What do you think the tattoo signifies, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

Hollywood Life: Lil Snupe: Police In Search Of Murder Suspect

Jun 22nd 2013, 17:23

The 18-year-old up-and-coming rapper was tragically gunned down in his Louisiana hometown on June 20. Two days later, police have now issued a warrant for the man who they believe pulled the trigger.

Lil Snupe, 18, who was shot and killed on June 20, was undoubtedly taken too soon, just as his career was taking off. But justice may not be far off.

Police Have Suspect In Lil Snupe Murder Case

Louisiana police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Tony Holden, a 36-year-old man who they suspect shot and killed Lil Snupe during a heated argument over video games, according to TMZ.

Police have reportedly not yet been able to locate Tony, who TMZ reports is a convicted felon. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.

Lil Snupe Killed At 18 Years Old

Lil Snupe celebrated his 18th birthday on June 13, a week before he was killed, and seemed to have his whole life ahead of him. The aspiring rapper, who had just recently been signed by rapper Meek Mill, tweeted on his birthday, “Blessed 2 See 18.” How devastating.

Meek Mill was apparently thoroughly impressed by his protege and had big things in mind — it only took about 15 minutes for Meek to know that Lil Snupe had great talent. “He was in a van, they was finna pull off. And I went and knocked on the van, on the window. They let the window down, grabbed the mixtape and it was like 10 minutes later, 20 minutes later they called me,” Lil Snupe told MTV News in April.

Lil Snupe’s manager sadly confirmed his death on June 20: “The call I got this morning is un real RIP 2 my lil n***a lilsnupe,” he tweeted. The 18-year-old’s death is so tragic and sad — there were clearly great things in store for him. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Lil Snupe’s friends and family, and we hope the police find their man.

Jun 22nd 2013, 16:38

As Paula got the ax for her unbelievable and shocking racist remarks, stars from Ricky to Patti Stanger took to Twitter to voice their disgust and chide the ignorant (former) Food Network star.

No one can quite understand how Paula Deen could say such hurtful, racist things – she admitted to using the N-word and wanting to host a Civil War-era wedding party with only black waiters in a deposition on June 20 — but everyone can understand why Food Network has chosen not to renew their contract with her. The fallen food TV personality has been the topic of conversation on Twitter since her remarks went public, and stars like Ricky Gervais and Seth Meyers have really let Paula hear it.

Patti Stanger & More Stars ‘Disappointed’ In Paula Deen

Relationship expert/reality TV star Patti Stanger voiced her shock, tweeting, “Woke up in ATL to all the news about @Paula_Deen so disappointed in her. Why do u people think its ok to use the N word? Not right.”

And when Paula made a shoddy video apologizing for her racist comments, Bravo’s Andy Cohen took the opportunity to lash out: “Additionally, Paula Deen should consider apologizing for her makeup in her apology video!”

The absurdity of this whole incident also allowed some premiere comedians to poke fun at Paula. “Paula Deen says ‘I’m no racist. I don’t care who gets diabetes from my cooking,’” Ricky Gervais tweeted.

Saturday Night Live star Seth Meyers tweeted, “Paula Deen butter churn her Wesson. #ThankYou,” humorously saying she better learn from her mistakes after she was let go by the Food Network.

And comedian Patton Oswalt quite possibly had the best — and truest — tweet of them all: “I sincerely hope Paula Deen doesn’t stress eat the way I do.”

All joking aside, Paula’s comments were intolerant and truly shocking in this day and age. The Food Network made the right decision to let her go, and we hope she truly acknowledges her wrongdoing.

Jun 22nd 2013, 14:46

Brad Pitt and zombies — do we even need to say anything more? ‘World War Z’ hit theaters on June 21, but before you dive in to the apocalyptic thriller, see what the critics had to say!

Brad Pitt is the latest star to hop on the zombie and apocalypse trends with his new film World War Z (out on June 21). Could it be the best out of them all? And more importantly, can it distinguish itself in a market so saturated with flicks about the undead and the end of the world? HollywoodLife.com’s Editor-in-Chief Bonnie Fuller and Fashion Director Katrina Mitzeliotis called the movie “suspenseful” and “gripping,” now see what the other buffs thought!

‘World War Z’ Movie Reviews

New York Times

The movie, loosely adapted from Max Brooks's 2006 novel of the same title, is under two hours long. Its action set pieces are cleverly conceived and coherently executed in ways that make them feel surprising, even exciting. Brad Pitt, playing a former United Nations troubleshooter pressed back into service to battle the undead, wears a scruffy, Redfordesque air of pained puzzlement. And, best of all, World War Z, directed by Marc Forster from a script with four credited authors, reverses the relentless can-we-top-this structure that makes even smart blockbusters feel bloated and dumb. The large-scale, city-destroying sequences come early, leading toward a climax that is intimate, intricate and genuinely suspenseful.

Washington Post

Be prepared for a relatively grown-up, modestly intelligent and refreshingly un-bombastic thriller that owes as much to medical tick-tocks such as Outbreak and Contagion as it does to 28 Days Later and the seminal works of George Romero. Anchored by a solid lead performance by Brad Pitt, who plays a happy Philadelphia househusband pulled back into his old profession of U.N. investigator when a zombie apocalypse threatens to destroy the world, World War Z may not break new ground in either of the genres it straddles. But it deserves a certain amount of credit for refusing to buy into the current cinematic arms race in Biggest, Loudest and Dumbest.

New York Magazine

World War Z becomes World War ZZZZZZ. There is but one protagonist and he's a dullard. Under normal circumstances, you would be forgiven for thinking that Pitt appropriated the property (à la Tom Cruise) for his own megalomaniacal ends, but the actor has appeared in enough ensemble pictures (and worked with enough dreamy auteurs like Terrence Malick) to dispel the idea that his vanity pushed out other considerations. My hunch is that Pitt and his team tried it Brooks's way and couldn't make it work, and so went back — with tons of money having already been spent — to what they knew: One hero, one arc, one overriding motivation.

Los Angeles Times

World War Z plays a bit like a series of separate films and the juncture where the new final act was grafted onto the proceedings is unmistakable, but unless you knew about the film’s troubled past, you’d never guess it existed. Against considerable odds, the ability and professionalism of the cast and crew have carried the day.

New York Post

Once you figure out the first rule of Zombie Fight Club — nothing too bad can happen to Brad Pitt — the movie is, despite intermittent thrills, rote. There are several intense chases and some dazzling trailer-bait set pieces such as one on a jet. But stapling together trailer moments does not a movie make.

Looks like we might have a toss-up on our hands! If you like zombies — and if you like Brad Pitt – World War Z will definitely be worth the price of admission. Watch our own review of the movie below and let us know, will you be seeing World War Z?

Hollywood Life: North West Is A Musical Soul Destined To Be In Spotlight — Astrologer Says

Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail North West Is A Musical Soul Destined To Be In Spotlight — Astrologer Says
Jun 22nd 2013, 13:15

Good news Kardashian fans, North’s astrology chart is proof that the Kardashians are not going anywhere anytime soon. North is here to stay — in the public eye, that is. Read on for all the EXCLUSIVE details.

North West is an old soul with a strong personality, who needs to stay close to her mommy Kim Kardashian and daddy Kanye West, according to world renowned astrologer Kertsin Trafeli.

North West: An Awesome Asset To The Kardashian Family

Kerstin tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY:

North West is a Gemini sun and Gemini rising, as such she has double Gemini energy, which means that her nature is active, communicative, outgoing and she will act this way, too. It is not a small asset to be able to act in accordance with one’s nature and in North’s case it is all about talking, communication, presentation, media, publishing.

“As a Kardashian, this should come as a great benefit to be able to communicate this well and that much,” Kerstin explains. She continues, adding that North will be worldly and will fit right in with her family:

Her strong Gemini influence makes North very interested in the world, and always open to new experiences. With parents who are constantly busy, traveling a lot and who in general are in the public eye, these strong Gemini placements will suit her very well.

“Sun in first house, often gives a very strong willed personality, which is probably a good thing so she wont be overlooked in such a big family of strong individuals,” Kerstin says. “Actually, with this placement, she might become the one calling the shots.”

“North’s midheaven is in Pisces and the ruler of Pisces (Neptune) is also in the 10th house, again fitting with the overall theme of media, public attention — potentially movies — as a lifestyle and purpose in life.”

North West Strongly Connected With Daddy Kanye

Kerstin also explains that North is intrinsically connected to her dad:

Her father’s signature is woven into North’s chart, too: There is musical talent with a Neptune Saturn trine, which she might use as a tool to, at some point in her life, emancipate herself from the family as her Neptune is placed so strongly in her 10th house. The surprising fact that Kim and Kanye broke with the K initial might be a strong indicator for North’s later in life emancipation from the Kardashian clan.

Parental Advice For Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Despite North’s natural inclination towards independent behavior, Kerstin says that North will need to be very close to her parents — especially Kim:

There is a strong connection to her mother as Neptune opposes Moon, so she feels very close to Kim and she needs her Mama to be physically close to her. Her moon is placed in the fourth house, so she prefers stability in her surroundings and probably will withdraw if she feels insecure. The more hands-on Kim can be with North, the better.

“With North’s venus in her second house, North loves comfort and beauty in her surroundings. It also means that she will need quite a lot of reassurance from her parents,” Kerstin explains. “Again, they should go the extra mile and try to be there for her, as opposed to leaving North with someone else.”

“With North’s Mars in her 12th house, it is important that she won’t feel defeated and discouraged. As North is interested in everything, her parents might want to help her in keeping focus so that she learns to become a master in something, as opposed to a Jack of all trades,” Kerstin says.

North West Is An Old Soul

“North has three planets (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) retrograde, so we are dealing with an old soul,” Kerstin explains. “Especially the Neptune retrograde implies that a person has lived at least one life in Atlantis. Often, old souls find our fast-paced modern world shocking and difficult to adjust to. However, in North’s case with her strong Gemini placements, and her media-savvy family, I think she will do uber-fine!”

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West’s Baby: Media Royalty

Kerstin says, “North has her Gemini Sun being intensified by her Jupiter conjunct in her 1st house, trined by Saturn and Neptune, making her media royalty.

“It is an old astrological legend that daughters born with a sun jupiter conjunct receive a kingdom due to their mother’s sacrifices,” explains Kerstin.

“In a nutshell, this baby girl fits right into the Kardashians with her upbeat, outgoing, active personality and like I said above, she is media royalty.”

Kerstin sees it written in the stars — that we’ll be talking about North West for years and years to come. “Maybe that’s the meaning of North — society needs a new orientation on what royalty is. Well, North is where it’s at! So, go ahead, everyone, bow down to Ms. North!”

thumbnail Kim Kardashian, Adele & More: 8 Secret Celeb Baby Name Reveals
Jun 22nd 2013, 13:00

It’s hard to stay out of the public eye when you’re a celebrity, but these Hollywood stars managed to keep the name of their babies a secret — at least, for a bit. Check out our gallery of secret celeb baby names!

For living so much of her life in the public eye, we were shocked that Kim Kardashian‘s baby name wasn’t officially revealed until six days after she gave birth. There was even a fake baby name floating around the Internet — Kaidence Donda West. But Kim and Kanye West proved they could keep a secret (at least for a little bit) when their baby’s birth certificate was leaked on June 21 — six days after she was born.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West’s Baby Named North

Baby North West’s official birth certificate was first revealed on June 21, and shows her official name as North West — but with no middle name. Despite earlier reports that their baby’s name would start with a “K,” or incorporate Kanye’s mom’s name Donda, the official name North shocked everyone.

Kim even brushed off the baby name North when she visited The Tonight Show on March 28 when Jay Leno asked her if they were going to name their baby North!

"That is not true. That is not one of the names on our list,” she said on the show. Lies!

Adele Reveals Baby’s Name With Moniker Necklace

Adele still hasn’t technically revealed the name of her baby boy, who was born in October 2012. But the Rolling in the Deep singer basically let the cat out of the bag when she was spotted in January 2013 sporting a necklace with the name “Angelo.” She even got a letter A tattooed on the back of her neck!

Take a look at our gallery of other celebrities who have kept their baby’s name a secret. Who are YOU most shocked by, HollyMoms? Let us kmow!
