I Don’t Know How She Does It star Busy Philipps said she finds motherhood relaxing. The 32-year-old actress is mum to daughter Birdie Leigh, three, and said she has changed since becoming a mum. She said to Parenting magazine: “I used to care a lot about what I looked like in public or what people thought of me. I care at least 40 per cent less now.” She added: “I want Bird to see her mom as a woman who is confident and real; not someone who’s always trying too hard. “I still like to dress up and get fancy from time to time, but it’s okay to be sweaty and without makeup at the grocery store… “The bigger part, to me, is being Birdie’s mum, Marc [Silverstein's] wife, and how I’ve worked very hard to grow the past 10 or so years.”

Actress Katherine Heigl said she’s waiting for her friends to have kids so her daughter Naleigh has some friends to play with. The movie star was recently at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration in Beverly Hills and spoke about being a mum to three-year-old daughter Naleigh. She told the LA Times: “I don’t actually have a ton of friends with kids, it’s really weird.

Actress Kate Bosworth looks pale and mysterious in a new short film directed by Stephanie Di Gusto. In the slightly spooky movie shot for French fashion brand Vanessa Bruno, The Horse Whisperer star cartwheels onto the set and stands with a white horse. Bruno, who started her eponymous brand 15 years ago, says the Blue Crush star was the natural choice to be the new face of the fashion label. “Kate has the style of a Parisienne without being from Paris,” the 39-year-old designer told Style magazine. “She’s a true free spirit, does her own thing, makes her own decisions, exactly the aesthetic of the label.” “When we first met, we clicked so much, it was as though we already knew each other,” she added. The film sees Bosworth, 28, modelling mini-skirts and chunky knitwear for the autumn/winter campaign as she back-flips across a stark white background and gallops across the Norwegian landscape on a horse. Bosworth, who is currently starring in a remake of the 1970s thriller Straw Dogs, revealed that she suffered terribly after splitting from actor Orlando Bloom. She is now dating 41-year-old film director Michael Polish. “I definitely know the meaning of pain,” she told the magazine. “You know when you put all your chips into something and then it disappears? It sent me into such pain. I think I had actual vertigo.” She added: “I was like, ‘Is this my new reality?’ Will anything be normal again? Then, one day, you wake up and you think, ‘OK, I’ll never be the same, but I’ll survive and I’ll grow from it’.”

Twilight star Nikki Reed’s wedding dress reportedly had 100 diamond buttons. The 23-year-old recently tied the knot with musician Paul McDonald, 27, and it’s claimed she had bridal jewellery brand Tacori create their wedding bands and her engagement ring as well as Reed’s gown itself. Tacori’s Michelle Adorjan told Us Weekly that Reed went for an ivory white dress with a ’40s classic glamour silhouette’ and added: “It flows back into a 72-inch train, about six feet.” The back of the dress then featured 100 diamond buttons on it. Adorjan added: “Instead of a traditional, silk wrap button, we did diamond buttons! A little over 100 carats just on the buttons! But it’s simple and beautiful.”

Hollywood star Orlando Bloom says his priorities have changed since becoming a father. The 34-year-old recently had his first child with wife supermodel Miranda Kerr, 28, and he says their nine-month-old son Flynn is the joy of his life. Orlando told British newspaper The Sun: “There’s no time for anything other than what you feel really is important. Everything comes into focus. There was all that other nonsense you used to spend time worrying about, then, hang on a second, I’ve got this three-hour block here before I’m going to get baby puke on me. What am I going to do with that?” Bloom took a short break from acting to spend time with his expanding family. And he says they have given him a new zest for his screen work. The star added: “I just took a little bit of time to get my head straight, have a baby and a family and now I’m enthused about working a whole different way.”

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has said she is a big fan of US President Barack Obama, no matter what he’s been through. In an appearance on US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, the brunette beauty discussed her recent dinner with Obama at a fundraiser, and how she feels about what he’s done over the past two-and-a-half years. She said: “It’s a special privilege to meet our commander-in-chief, I’m a big Obama supporter no matter what he’s been through – he’s been beaten up the past couple of years.” Eva said he has always been receptive to her as she’s been ‘a big advocate for Latino issues.’ Longoria added that he: “keeps getting beat up lately because there’s such an extremist movement happening, and for me, it’s very dangerous because its not the character of America.” The actress continued to say that he has been governing in a state of emergency since he took office and she believes that we haven’t really seen him get a chance to show what he can do.

The Office star Mindy Kaling says that she is so against one-night stands that even Bond actor Daniel Craig couldn’t tempt her into bed that quickly. In an interview with US magazine Bust, the 32-year-old actress and comedy writer says: “It’s impossible to charm me to sleep with you, based on one evening’s worth of conversation.” She adds: “Even if Daniel Craig himself was talking to me at the Four Seasons bar for an hour-and-a-half about playing James Bond, I wouldn’t think, ‘I just have to sleep with this man’.” Kaling, who appears on the cover of the October/November issue of the magazine, also revealed that she scoffs a McDonald’s for breakfast at least three times a week. “I like to sleep until 1 or 2pm, the same as when I was 13,” she says. “Every morning is as painful as if I’m being ripped out of a coma. I try and wake up by 8am and go for a very slow jog for 45 minutes. Then I try and eat a healthful [sic] breakfast. “But three out of seven mornings in the week I’ll get a McDonald’s.” Kaling, who plays customer service rep Kelly Kapoor in the US TV sitcom, has written 22 episodes of the comedy series and has also directed four of them.

January Jones told Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner her baby had his fingers crossed for the show at the Emmys. The show picked up the Emmy for the Best Drama Series at the recent ceremony in Los Angeles but lost out to Friday Night Lights in the writing category. Speaking in the press room after the show, Weiner said Jones, who recently gave birth to son Xander, was there in spirit. According to PopEater, he said: “She’s home with her baby, John Slattery says. Her baby had his fingers crossed, she told me that. And she said it was really weird that we were going to be here without her, and we miss her terribly. “And I had a horrible superstition that her not coming was bad for us and told her she should come anyway, but she didn’t. We miss her tonight and we’re super happy for her, all of us are. “It’s a great addition to our work family; we’re very close here.”
