Matthew James McCarthy is a DJ/producer living in Hollywood and looking to make a name for himself. He is not, in fact, scandal-plagued reality star and former lobbyist Josh Duggar who made headlines last week after his name turned up in the Ashley Madison dump .

Christine Ouzounian, former nanny to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s kids and to Affleck’s sexual needs, seems to be parlaying her newfound fame into a career in Hollywood. And Hollywood is apparently more than happy to facilitate one.

Relationships can feel pretty equal until a baby shows up, when suddenly even the most progressive couples are waylaid by the tyrannical demands of child-rearing.

Taylor Swift continues to grow her “girl squad,” consuming members despite gender, age or relevancy. On Friday, she welcomed Kobe Bryant, a man who is truly an inspiration for young women everywhere. Her Saturday concert in Los Angeles included incredibly random additions as Matt LeBlanc and Chris Rock joined her on stage (little-known fact, Swifties love Friends). Less randomly were two women who were there to actually sing. Mary J. Blige performed Doubt and Family Affair and Uzo Aduba joined Swift for a duet of her 2008 White Horse. Читать дальше...

The National Zoo in Washington, DC announced that its giant panda, Mei Xiang, gave birth to twins. “All of us are thrilled that Mei Xiang has given birth,” Dennis Kelly, the zoo’s director said in a statement. “We know Mei is an excellent mother.” The zoo doesn’t know the cubs’ sex yet, but plans to perform an exam soon. In the meantime, here’s one of the cubs in all of its hairless, pink glory.

Wiz Khalifa was arrested last night at the Los Angeles airport for refusing to get off of his hoverboard. Yes, a hoverboard, just like Marty McFly.

It looks like Netflix’s new and improved maternity leave policy was too good to be true. The entertainment network made headlines earlier this month when they announced they’d be providing employees with unlimited maternity and paternity leave during the first year of a new child’s life.
