Kerry Washington: I Don’t Drink Alcohol
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Features,
Kerry Washington doesn't drink alcohol.
The 36-year-old star admits she only indulges in booze on special occasions as she likes to keep a clear head in every situation, and would rather steer away from the high amount of calories embedded in an alcoholic beverage. Speaking to the New York Post newspaper, she said, "I actually live quietly. Work hard. Get bored easily. Don't drink. Who needs those empty calories? I watch what I eat. I train, do pilates. I drink maybe twice a year."
While the Emmy Award-nominated actress insists she likes to maintain a healthy diet, she previously admitted she suffers from severe allergies to a lot of food types and must travel with an EpiPen - a syringe containing epinephrine used to treat allergic reactions - at all times. "Most people do not know about this but I carry an EpiPen with me almost everywhere I go because I have a lot of food allergies, like fatal food allergies, that if I eat these things, I could wind up dying in an emergency room somewhere. So I always have an EpiPen. It's not sexy, but I'm being honest, I have an EpiPen in my bag," she explained.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Features,
Sarah Michelle Gellar would starve if not for her husband's cooking.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress admits her spouse of 11 years Freddie Prinze Jr. prepares the majority of the meals at home and he even enlists their daughter Charlotte Grace, four, to give a helping hand in the kitchen.
"I have my husband who is so incredibly hands-on. Thank God he can cook or I would probably never eat. We try to make [everything] a family thing, so we'll go to the farmer's market and Charlotte can pick out a piece of fish. And she and Freddie will go to the grill and she pretends to light her little grill."
The 36-year-old starlet, who gave birth to her second child Rocky in 2012, admits it can be tough being a working parent, but says Freddie, 37, and her own mother give her incredible support which has allowed her to return to work on new sitcom The Crazy Ones: "Working with one child was one thing, but working with two is entirely different. I had both my kids' birthdays, they turned four and one in a span of 24 hours, and we moved, and we launched the show."
Kelly Preston Blames Chemicals for Son’s Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Kelly Preston has opened up about the death of her 16-year-old son Jett.
The 50-year-old The Last Song actress - who has been married to 58-year-old Savages star John Travolta for 17 years - thinks that chemicals in food contributed to her son's autism, as well as the severe seizure that caused his death in 2009.
Speaking on an episode of The Doctors - which airs in the US on Wednesday - Kelly said, "[Jett] was autistic. He had seizures and when he was very young, he had Kawasaki Syndrome (which can cause inflammation of the arteries and usually affects children between the ages of two and five years old)."
Jett died after suffering a seizure and hitting his head on a bathtub at the family's home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island in the Caribbean and his mother believes chemicals caused it: "I strongly believe as a mother, as does my husband, that there are certain contributing factors that lead to autism and some of it is very much the chemicals in our environment and in our food."

Blake Lively pretends to be Marilyn Monroe on the red carpet.
The Gossip Girl star gets self-conscious at showbiz events and tries to channel the confidence of the Hollywood sex siren to survive the ordeal: "I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe - someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."
Down-to-earth Blake, 24, prefers staying at home to attending parties and says she feels sexiest when she is cooking. "I really like to cook. Cooking makes me feel sexy. I think there's something so sensual about it - the smells, the touches, the flavors, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you're doing it with someone you love, creating that together. I think it's really attractive. I do a little of everything but Italian food is my favorite. And chocolate! Whenever I travel I go to cooking schools. I eat too much that's the problem."

Matthew Morrison thinks cooking is "sexy."
The What To Expect When You're Expecting actor - who is dating model Renee Puente - loves nights in at home sharing a romantic meal with his girlfriend.
"I'm very much a homebody with my girlfriend. I think cooking and creating something together is very sexy. I love candlelit dinners," he said.
Matthew has a lot of female fans thanks to his role as teacher Will Schuester in Glee but insists his girlfriend never gets jealous: "Luckily, Renee is very relaxed about my female fans. Once, a girl gave me cupcakes shaped to look like her breasts. Needless to say, I didn't eat them."
While Matthew isn't ready to start a family himself just yet, he would love to see his Glee alter ego - who is engaged to guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury - settle down. "I want Mr. Schu to get married and have a baby with Emma as soon as possible. I've always wanted kids myself one day but, right now, I'm not ready."

"Angelina has decided she'd like a more shapely figure when she weds Brad and is hoping to gain ten pounds. Brad and Angie have asked Jamie to suggest some recipe ideas for them.

Cheesy Lover Paul Bettany
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
English actor Paul Bettany can put the cigarette out, but is still addicted to cheese.
The Creation star’s wife Jennifer Connelly, who he raises two children with, says that although the actor has finally given up smoking, she has failed to dissuade him from taking his favorite dairy food everywhere.
She told Britain’s InStyle: “When we met he smoked a lot and ate a lot of cheese. He still eats a lot of cheese. It’s usually somewhere in his backpack. But he quit smoking. I don’t think it was my influence. Kids will do that to you. You want to stick around and see what happens with them.”
Although Jennifer—who has two sons, 12-year-old Kai from a previous relationship and Stellan, six, with Paul—insists she has little influence on her husband, she believes that he has made her less uptight: “I’ve gotten less introverted and earnest since Paul and I have been together. Paul tore me apart from my earnestness.”
