Behold Blue Ivy Carter! She is so beautiful and perfect, and it's sort of hard to believe it's actually her. The photos surfaced on Tumblr a little while ago, and they sure do look genuine—there's even a hand-written note signed by the Carter Family. More »

You should hide behind that fan Karl Lagerfeld, shame on you, for calling Adele "a little bit fat." Who are you? What is the point of saying that? What are you trying to prove? Why are you trying to cut a bitch down? Shame shame shame. More »

First Karl Lagerfeld said she was "too fat" and then he came out and apologized, saying that his words were taken out of context and he too knew the sting of being vilified for your weight in the press. But Adele has come forward to say she couldn't give a fat fuck one way or the other because she's never aspired to be a model and is proud to offer a little balance when it comes to the representation of different body types in the media. "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines," she said. "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that." And it seems she's never been one to worry too much, saying last year that she tries to keep away from people who think weight is super-important. "I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don't want that in my life," she said. "It's just never been an issue – at least, I've never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue. I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me." [Daily Mail] More »

When it comes to the failed marriage of Courteney Cox and David Arquette, usually it's David that's doing the oversharing. But today Courteney turned everything on its head by opening up to Howard Stern about the specifics of her sex life, or rather her lack thereof. She told him—along with the entire world—that she hasn't had sex in a year. Good to know! More »

This helpful chart, put together by the folks at Esquire and Column Five Media, breaks down the Grammys by the numbers. And it looks like Adele will dominate the awards ceremony, partly because she can articulate the very contents of your soul — and partly because, you know, she sold 5.8 million albums, in an era during which folks allegedly don't buy music. Other notable numbers: 14, aka the number of vocal collaborators on one Kanye West track; and 0, the number of Grammy nominations LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" received. More »

She was dragged through the mud back in November when she had the audacity to promote literacy in elementary schools, and now former adult star Sasha Grey is on trial once again thanks to a porn company who is trying to donate money to the program on her behalf. Leaving the industry last April, Assence Films are releasing one of Grey's final scenes as part of Anal Artists and wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds – without her knowledge – to the National Education Association's Read Across America program, but they don't want the green. "Sasha Grey is not affiliated with the National Education Association's Read Across America program nor has she been invited or endorsed by NEA to read at any of the association's Read Across America Day events, and NEA will not accept any proceeds from her latest, or any of her films," reads a statement. Okay, so they don't want the money, but did they have to insult her by lying and saying she was never invited to read in the first place? Was she allowed to just wander into the school on that day and read to kids unfettered? Perhaps instead of setting a bad example by being liar liar pants on fires and making it all about how much of a leper she is they should focus on the porn company who are trying to get free press off the back of her notoriety. But, of course, it will instead devolve into a debate about whether people who enjoy consensual adult sex should be allowed near children. [Huff Po] More »

Never one to shy away from controversy, fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld has once again said something ridiculous. Proving that he would make an excellent frenemy, he gave singer Adele a very bitchy backhanded compliment. Speaking to Metro Paris, he said, "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice." More »

According to reports, Anna Wintour's team has been calling in some samples in U.S. sizes 14 and 16 — an event so unusual in our age of miniature celebrities that it merits a mention in today's Women's Wear Daily. Certain (unnamed) designers have been asked to create special outfits so Vogue will have plenty of cover options — and the word is that all the effort is for a cover that will feature Adele. This would be for Vogue's March issue, the spring fashion issue. This is newsworthy for a couple of reasons: one, it's been four years since Vogue featured a plus-size woman on its cover (Jennifer Hudson in 2007) and two, Vogue isn't even putting Adele on the Shape issue cover, it's apparently giving her a "real" cover. (Conventional ladymag wisdom is that March is the second most important issue of the year after September — which is a huge vote of confidence on the part of Vogue in Adele's salability.) It's been a good year for Adele, vocal cord issues aside: 21 is the top-selling album of the year, and she's nabbed six Grammy nominations, in addition to covers of U.S. Cosmopolitan, British Vogue, and The Gentlewoman.

This time of year brings out the best in all of us, and even Kim Kardashian is getting into the holiday spirit. The tarnished star has traveled to Haiti to spend some time "giving back" with the charity cWe Advance, which calls itself "a movement to advance the health, safety, and well being of women throughout Haiti." It was co-founded by actress Maria Bello, who's also on the trip. According to a source, this isn't Kim's attempt to do some last minute damage control: "Her intention was always to take the end of the year to focus on some of the other things that are important to her and this trip was one." Of course her mother Kris Jenner is also with her, lest Kim get one bit of attention that she's not involved in. [People] More »

If you can stop weeping into a pint of ice cream while listening to "Someone Like You" for a second, there's good news: Adele could win six Grammys. 21 has been nominated for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album; "Rolling In The Deep" is up for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year; "Someone Like You" is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance. She's also nominated in the music video category. The question is: Will she be able to sing at the awards show on February 12? Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, your friend Kanye West nabbed seven noms, and Rihanna, Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are also among the nominees. Oh! And Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. is up for Best R&B Album. Fun.

In addition to "Let's Make Technology Hump," this weekend's SNL featured a sketch that simply cannot go without comment and/or recognition. In four very special minutes that are, as of now, otherwise unavailable online, we've got chicken wings, sobbing, pints of ice cream, parakeets, smeared mascara, Friday Night Lights, and Adele's "Someone Like You." If you've ever listened to sob-friendly music to help wring every last tear out of your heaving soul — and who hasn't? (1995 h/t Sarah McLachlan) — this will speak to you. Like many great comedic moments, it's funny because it's all too true. When it comes to weepy wallowing, stereotypes are there for a reason. And that's okay. Let it all out. More »

Latex is okay, booze is fine, preposterous platforms? Hell yes. But don't do coke, Lady Gaga chides. She was on Howard Stern's show yesterday, and said: "To any little sweethearts that are listening - don't touch cocaine, it's the devil." She explained her coke snorting days thusly: "I think that I was lonely and there was something about the drug that made me feel like I had a friend. And I regret every line that I ever did. Whatever my vagina whispers to me, I say yes - inspiration, it doesn't come all the time." Gaga also talked about the process of writing "Edge Of Glory" on the day her grandfather died: She said to her father, "Grandpa's about to cross over into his glorious moment. It's hard now because he's on the edge." And: "When my grandma was saying goodbye [to my grandfather], there was something so intense that happened for me that I saw ... as sad as the moment was, they both were acknowledging that they had really won in life because they had each other."

• Kate Middleton made a surprise appearance at a friend's wedding yesterday. The picture accompanying the article about her attendance at the ceremony is of Kate in her wedding dress from her own Weddingstravaganza a month and a half ago, which is funny because it sort of implies that Kate dressed like a bride to attend someone else's wedding. Even though I'm sure that's not what happened, I hope against hope that someday Kate morphs into a Prince Phillip-style cranky old royal who doesn't give any fucks and does cockamamie things like show up to other people's weddings dressed like a bride, or attend special screenings of Star Wars dressed like Harry Potter or Legolas.
