Cartwright, 31, announced that she and Taylor, 41, are expecting their first child together.

“Mom & Dad,” Brittany gushed on Monday, uploading a series of photos of the happy soon-to-be parents proudly showing off an ultrasound of their baby.  “The love of our lives is coming soon.”

Taylor reposted the same set of images shortly after on Monday, writing, “Sooooo,……..I am gonna be Dad.”

While it is unknown exactly when the two will welcome their little one, Cartwright made sure to show off her already prominent baby bump in every photo, suggesting that the baby will arrive in the near future.  

Former Rules star Stassi Schroeder, who is also expecting, celebrated the good news in the comment section, cheering, “Life couldn’t get better!!!!!! I love y’all so much!!!!!!!!!!!!”  

The announcement has since kicked off a flurry of jokes regarding when there will be a spinoff show featuring all the pregnant Vanderpump Rules cast members and their children.

Dane Cook spills on how he pulled off the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston reunion

• No Comments • Entertainment News

Kevin Winter/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — After divorcing in 2005, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt stopped sharing the screen together.  That is, until last week when the two signed on for the charity stream Dane Cook Presents Feelin’ A-Live: A Virtual Table Read Of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Cook revealed Monday on the Better Together with Maria Menounos podcast how he managed to pull off one of Hollywood’s most exciting reunions.

As it turns out, you can thank a simple text message for that.

When Dane was first piecing together the charity table read, he texted his A-list friends to help make it happen.  When he shot a message to Aniston, she was immediately on board, with Cook revealing, “she could not have been more delightful — game — excited.”

Then, other famous faces started volunteering, but the biggest — and most welcome — surprise arrived when Pitt expressed interest in joining the table read.  The comedian laughed to Menounos, “I was like, ‘Yes! This is gonna happen.'”

“There was no hesitation, there was no rules, there was no nothing,” Cook continued, adding that Pitt and Aniston were comfortable with working with each other and sharing flirty scenes in the Zoom-like table read, adding there was “No drama.”

“They both logged in. What you saw was absolutely what we had hoped,” the Good Luck Chuck star relished, noting that they seemed to enjoy playing their respective parts. “Which was just nice engagement between two massive, incredibly talented people.”

Despite his best efforts though, Cook admits that the table read “fell apart a lot” — mostly due to a series of setbacks that pushed the premiere date from the spring to mid-September.

“It fell apart completely at least five times,” he noted, but was thankful that persistence paid off and that he was able to share it with the world.

Paris Hilton and Drew Barrymore reflect on being placed in solitary confinement as teenagers

• No Comments • Entertainment News

CBS(LOS ANGELES) — It looks like Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton have more in common than meets the eye.

On her new talk show, Barrymore revealed that Hilton’s new YouTube documentary, where the socialite opened up about her experiences in solitary confinement as a teen, felt like “watching a mirror image of everything I’ve been through as well.”

“There was a lot of other kids like me, and my mom just didn’t know what to do with me. I was doing drugs. I was out of control. She just threw her hands up and threw me in there, not knowing where else to turn to. And that place really did help me and it did save my life, and I actually wouldn’t change a thing,” the Santa Clarita Diet actress explained. 

While the situation had somewhat of a positive impact on Barrymore, the same can’t be said for Hilton, who shared that she only managed to leave with “trust issues [and] PTSD.”

“I didn’t deserve to go there. My mom and dad were just very strict and sheltered when I lived in L.A.,” the heiress explained. “Then I moved to New York and that’s when my life changed and I just was sneaking out at night and going to clubs and ditching school, but not doing anything terrible — just wanting to go out at night, and that really scared my parents, because they were so protective.”

Although the duo seemed to bond over their shared experiences, Hilton admitted that if it weren’t for the director she probably wouldn’t have opened up about it. 

“She told me, ‘This is so important that you tell your story because you are going to help other survivors and people want to come forward with theirs,” she recalled.

Matthew Koma gets a "cheeky" new tattoo in honor of wife Hilary Duff

• No Comments • Entertainment News

Michael Kovac/Getty Images for Adopt Together(LOS ANGELES) — Singer-songwriter Matthew Koma announced Monday that he tattooed wife Hilary Duff’s name on his body — but his new ink isn’t anywhere close to his heart. 

Koma, 33, decided to permanently write her name on his bottom — specifically his left cheek — and, as it turns out, his wife completely approves.

“Good luck winning a fight with your wife when her name’s tattooed on your butt cheek,” the “Clarity” songwriter quipped while showing off his new body art, which shows the Lizzie McGuire‘s first name written in delicate cursive.

Koma also made sure his tattoo announcement would slide past Instagram’s strict Terms of Service by tastefully placing a line of peach emojis down his bare backside.

Duff lauded her husband’s latest ink by ribbing him in the comment section by praising his “Finest tiniest booty around #youstucknowboy.”

Actress Mandy Moore gave her seal of approval, reacting with a series of raising hand emojis and writing “Dying” while comedian Whitney Cummings jokingly gasped, “Wait I just got this too.”

Koma and Duff are approaching their one year anniversary, tying the knot in an intimate December 2019 ceremony.  They share one-year-old Banks Violet together, along with Duff’s eight-year-old son Luca with ex Mike Comrie.
