Kim Kardashian Instagrammed a picture of North West looking very cute and happy, as babies are wont to do. And, because this is the world we live in, several people-about-the-Web are accusing her of waxing her baby’s eyebrows. CAN’T WE JUST BE HAPPY WHEN WE SEE NICE BROWS IN NATURE? (I would like to think that baby eyebrow waxing as a phenomenon is confined to Farrah Abraham because I have faith in humanity).
On a more positive note, Us Weekly
took it as an opportunity to workshop their freshman-year creative
writing course piece: “Baby Nori, bundled up in a white sweater while
gripping a matching
fleece blanket between her tiny fingers, looked up through her
glittering, chestnut-colored, moon-shaped eyes.” Everyone have a
go! Here is mine: “Baby Nori, swathed in a blanket draped atop her
infant form like warm snow, gazed knowingly up at the camera with her
iridescent ocular orbs, the color of the shadow a whisper casts… The
filter, most likely, was Valencia.” [Daily Mail, Us, images via Instagram]
Katy Perry has had some sort of singing-embarrassment with a Frenchman (who hasn’t been there?) that I don’t quite understand. She appears to be lip-syncing throughout the first minute of this performance; at around 1:o1 the music cuts out and a man in a suit comes out and announces that there is a problem. Her backup dancers in their leather hats are enthusiastically confused. The song starts over with Katy Perry actually singing. But all pop stars use playback so I am confused as to why this was an issue? Who knows. [BuzzFeed]
Miley Cyrus opened up to Barbara Walters about the dissolution of her engagement/relationship with Liam Hemsworth, and she sounds rather mature and self-reflective: “I was so scared of ever being alone, and I think, conquering that fear, this year, was actually bigger than any other transition that I had, this entire year.” She adds, “I wouldn’t change being engaged. It was so fun wearing a fat rock for a few years.” TRUE THAT, MILEY. [ABC]
- Leonardo DiCaprio was taking a break from acting, which no one knew about because he has been in a lot of (AT LEAST two) movies this year. That break has ended. I am linking this mostly because it includes a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio on a surfboard, and I think it’s nice to see the man on top of a floating surface, as opposed to dangling off of it tragically [via Titanic].

- Steve Martin and Khloe Kardashian are NOT dating. [E!]
- This is the best gossip story of the year: Blake Lively has a Pinterest account, she does not have any Pinterest friends, and she re-pins pictures of Ryan Reynolds. [PopSugar]
- Shia LeBeouf has publicly apologized for plagiarizing Daniel Clowes: “In my excitement and naiveté as an amateur filmmaker, I got lost
in the creative process and neglected to follow proper accreditation. I’m embarrassed that I failed to credit @danielclowes for his original graphic novella Justin M. Damiano,
which served as my inspiration… I deeply regret the manner in
which these events have unfolded and want @danielclowes to know that I
have a great respect for his work.” [Just Jared] - Today in stuff that you really do not care about: Jason Bateman has been strongly urging Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux to marry. Cool. Huh. Bateman. [Radar]
- A comedian brought Justin Bieber on stage and mocked him for wearing leather tank tops (if this year has taught us anything, it’s that it’s never cool to harsh on a man’s leathers) and presumably masturbating a lot, or something. I don’t know. Comedy. In response, the surly elf prince eloquently responded, “I fuck bitches!” He is getting more and more likable by the day. [The Hollywood Gossip]
- Kelly Rowland is engaged! [Gossip Cop]
- Some guy from The Walking Dead who probably wears an eye patch on the show (in my mind they all wear eye patches) is dating a woman who is approximately half his age. Here is a whole article about it. [Radar]
