You’ve commented that Jessica Alba, who had her daughter Honor Marie two days before you had Stella, was back in her pre-baby body two weeks after giving birth, while you could barely move. Did you feel pressure after your pregnancy ended to be physically perfect?
When I wrote Mommywood I was still losing my baby weight, so when I talked about the pressure, yes, it was very much there. It took [Jessica Alba] two weeks to get back to her pre-baby …

With a new memoir on parenting, the TV scion turned reality star dishes on her feud with her mother, Candy, her kids’ love of paparazzi, and her return to 90210.
Tori Spelling has survived a lot longer than most people thought she would. After a decade on her father’s young-adult juggernaut, Beverly Hills, 90210, she, like the rest of the teen-idol cast, spent a decade in relative oblivion. But then something changed—not in Tori, but in pop culture. TV veered sharply into high-drama, …

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer
“Jennifer is pulling a classic girl move; she’s playing the chameleon,” Titus said. “She’s playing detective, trying to discover who he is and what he wants and playing whatever role she must to keep his attention. It’s the everyday equivalent of the high-maintenance city girl agreeing to go camping with a guy just to keep him interested. She’s trying on all these different personalities in order to give him what he wants, and he really has no idea what …

Workplace romances can be inelegant, at best. But what happens when you still have to work with the person after your split?
Just ask actor Justin Long (you might remember him as your friendly, neighborhood Mac guy ), who hooked up with co-star Drew Barrymore on the set of their new movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You.”
“We all rationalize and analyze to a certain extent,” said Long, who plays cynical advice-monger Alex in the film. “But when you’re with somebody, you’ve just got to …

TweetI've been working on a story for ABCNews.com on celebrity love pegged to the release of the self-help tome-turned ensemble comedy He's Just Not That Into You. And it turns out, when it comes to relationships, stars are just as messed up as the rest of us.
So I interviewed a bunch of relationship experts, including Oprah fave Dr. Michelle and the always uber-candid Matt Titus, on certain celebs and their very-human dating downfalls.
From Jennifer Aniston to Drew Barrymore to ScarJo, they've all had their fair share of …

William Shatner isn’t quite sure what makes celebrities like Kelsey Grammer, Valerie Bertinelli and comedian Jimmy Kimmel spill their guts to him on his new talk show, A&E’s “Raw Nerve.”
Perhaps it’s his restrained panache? Or his own tabloid-traversed past?
“I don’t want to back anybody into a corner, but if I probe gently enough so that I don’t get too vivid a reaction, I get what I’m looking for,” said the icon known to generations of TV fans as “Star Trek’s” Captain …

Irish singer-songwriter Laura Izibor drops her first disc, “Let the Truth Be Told,” early next year, but the buzz around her has been building for a while. Her first single, “From My Heart to Yours” is already climbing Billboard’s R&B airplay chart and the 21-year-old Dublin-native has opened for artists like Al Green, Angie Stone and Aretha Franklin. “Laura is a biracial singer from Ireland, so people are comparing her to Corinne Bailey Rae,” said Essence entertainment director Cori Murray. …
