Christian Bale takes his pregnant wife and daughter out for brunch

Christian Bale treated his wife and daughter to a special Mother's Day brunch in Los Angeles on Sunday, and by this time next year his party of three will be a party of four.

The family went to Sor Tino, an Italian restaurant in the Brentwood section of the city.

The Welsh actor, 40, and his spouse, Sibi Blazic, 44, revealed after the Oscars that they are expecting their second child.

Growing family: Christian Bale, his daughter and pregnant wife Sibi enjoyed a Mother's Day brunch

The pair, married for 14 years, is already parents to daughter Emmeline, nine.

The casually dressed actor wore black shorts, a gray shirt and flip flops for the family outing and protected his eyes with sunglasses.

His lovely brunette wife, who was Winona Ryder's assistant when they met, wore black pants a black T-shirt and a black light sweater with black flats.

Emmeline added a little color to the family portrait in pink shorts and a gray, fringed T-shirt with a rainbow smiley face on the front.

The Hollywood couple managed to conceal Sibi's growing belly throughout the awards season, during which Christian was nominated for several awards, including an Oscar, for his role in Amerian Hustle.

But at the Academy Awards in early March a visible baby bump could be seen as Sibi wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown.

Deep in conversation: Christian listens intently to his wife as they get ready to celebrate Mother's Day

The doting parents prefer to keep their private life hidden, but he did reveal some details about their parenting.

'I love anything that [Emmeline] likes,' Christian told Esquire back in 2010.

'If she's getting a kick out of it, I love it. I find myself tearing up at the most ridiculous things now, sitting next to my daughter while she's watching a movie. Me and my wife look across at each other like, "Oh my God! Are we really doing this? Yes we are!"'

Secret is out: Sibi did a good job of hiding her growing belly throughout the awards season, but could no longer conceal it at the Oscars

The actor also praised his longtime lady love in a 2011 interview with People.

'[Blazic] is such a good, strong woman,' the American Hustle actor gushed. 'I truly believe you can't celebrate [success] without having your partner with you.'

The Golden Globe winner will next play Moses in Ridley Scott's Biblical epic Exodus - due out December 12 - with Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Aaron Paul.

However, it's still unclear when either of the Terrence Malick's films - including Knight of Cups - starring Bale will ever be released.

New style for Spring! Rose McGowan, 40, leaves hair salon with new trimmed locks and a flirty, playful attitude

Spring is in full bloom and Rose McGowan wants a new style to fit the warmer temperatures.

The Charmed actress, 40, was spotted heading to a hair styling appointment on Saturday dressed in a tight black top and torn boyfrend-style jeans with dripping wet hair, bright red lipstick, a tan Prada bag and circle-framed sunglasses.

She left the Warren Tricomi hair salon with her brunette locks a bit shorter and her smile a bit wider.

Drenched: Actress Rose McGowan, 40, was spotted heading to a hair styling appointment on Saturday dressed in a tight black top, torn jeans with wet hair, bright red lipstick, a tan Prada bag and circle-framed sunglasses

As she walked to her car after leaving the salon Rose playfully lifted her hands to her face in a flirty pose reminiscent of a 1950s pin-up girl.

Later in the afternoon the Tell-Tale Heart star posted a photo to her Instagram showing off her new hairstyle with the caption, 'Hacked'.

In the photo Rose covers most of her porcelain face with layers of her brunette hair, but let's her full red pout peek through.

Trim: Rose showed off her svelte figure and toned arms in a tight black sleeveless top

Instaglam: A photo of her new haircut and red pout captioned 'Hacked', was posted to Instagram later in the day

Over the last few months the star has been juggling roles on two television shows - Once Upon A Time and Chosen.
In April the pretty brunette flew to London to promote her directorial debut, Dawn, at the Sundance London Film and Music Festival.
The film is described as 'a provocative look at a young girl's budding sexuality in restrictive Kennedy era America'.

Secrets of an A-list body: Katie Holmes's waist

We reveal how to get the enviable physiques of the stars.

This week: Katie Holmes's neat waist.

Actress Katie Holmes is known to be a fitness fanatic and has the figure to show for it. Wearing a nipped-in gown at a recent film festival, she displayed the neatest of waists.

Actress Katie Holmes displays a neat waist

The 35-year-old mother-of-one once ran the New York Marathon and goes for early-morning runs.

She does two or three sessions a week of SoulCycle - a high-intensity indoor bike class - and is also a fan of Bikram yoga, which is done in a room heated to 40c.

What to try: The football push-up targets the core abdominal muscles around the waist and tummy, arms and upper body.

Place a football on the ground and rest your palms on top of it while forming a 'push-up' position with the rest of your body - legs extended behind you, balancing on toes and arms straight.

Last week with Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman

Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and your body should form a diagonal from head to feet.

Lower yourself towards the ball by bending your elbows and push up slowly. Repeat 12 to 14 times.

Now Gisele the smug mom shares her domestic goddess tips on homemade drinks, raising chickens and healthy school snacks

When she's not walking the catwalk or posing for high-end campaigns, Gisele moonlights as a chicken farmer, or so she says.

The Brazilian supermodel, who was spotted in a Boston park getting some exercise on Monday, recently revealed some kitchen secrets to Food & Wine magazine.

The highest-paid model in the world, the tall blonde often likes to dole out advice and play the down-to-earth mom.

Walk in the park: Gisele gets some exercise in a park in Boston on Monday

For Monday's outing, the 33-year-old wore black leggings, a black tank top with a pink sports bra peeking out, gray Converse sneakers and a gray sweater tied around her waist.

Her long hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she wore sunglasses and carried a yellow water bottle, which just might have contained one of her secret recipes.

She told Food & Wine that she makes her own version of healthy lemonade, but also hinted that it can be spiked, if you wish.

'I make an aloe-lemon drink that's pretty healthy, but you could add tequila,' she told the publication. 'Juice three lemons, peel fresh aloe, add a teaspoon of coconut nectar and a gallon of water, and blend it.'

What's in that bottle? Gisele recently shared a recipe for a hydrating aloe drink

She also shared a special practice she claims to share with her school-age son, Benjamin, whose dad is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 36.

'Benjamin and I make his school snack together - fruit leather in our dehydrator,' she explained. 'You can use any fruit, but I always use banana as the base because it has great texture and sweetness. My son is so proud; he goes to school and tells all his friends he made his own snack.'

Those aren't the only kitchen tricks she learned from her mother, who raised six girls and worked, she says.

Practice for the catwalk: The supermodel showed off her slender legs in yoga pants

Perhaps her most suspect revelation was that she keeps chickens on the property she shares with Brady, their two children - Benjamin, 4, and daughter Vivian, 17 months and Brady's six-year-old son John with his ex-partner Bridget Moynahan.

'I have a beautiful garden in L.A. where I raise chickens,' she told the culinary guide. 'We have very little waste because the chickens eat all of the vegetable scraps, and anything they won't eat, I put in my compost pile with the chicken poo.'

Although it's hard to imagine a diva actually tending to chickens, let alone a compost heap.

Smokin' hot: The Brazilian beauty drew raves for the hemp gown she wore to the Rainforest Alliance gala

And when it comes to spicing up your meals, she was free with even more advice, suggesting exotic pink Himalayan salt, used judicously.

'Never salt your food until the end,' she instructed. 'If you put salt on the food in the beginning, you use a lot more than you need.'

Other tidbits from the interview include exercise and travel tips.

'I've lived on planes. I get up and stretch in the aisle,' she revealed. 'I don't care if people are looking at me like, "What is this crazy woman doing?"'

For those with endless amounts of time and money to travel, she also raved about a special spot in her homeland.

'In the southeast, there's a place called Bonito, with the most fantastic waterfalls. You walk into this forest and you feel like you're in Avatar.'

Happy couple: The model and her athlete husband attended the Met Gala on May 5

Gisele drew raves on Wednesday flouncing around in a gray Prophetik hemp gown at the Rainforest Alliance Gala in Manhattan.

The lingerie model founded the Clean Water Project and even has a forest named after her in her native Brazil.

'After attending the Rainforest Alliance gala, I connected with their efforts to conserve the environment and help impoverished communities,' she told Food & Wine. 'I recently joined their board, so now I can participate more in their projects that I'm passionate about.'

Busy, busy: Gisele really knows how to multitask, as she stated in this shot of her breastfeeding while 'working'

Gisele has become known for snippets like this touting her lifestyle advice.

In December she raised ire when she posted a shot of herself breastfeeding Vivian, while reclining in a penthouse apartment, all caramel limbs and honey-hued tresses, as a team of stylists pamper every inch of her billion-dollar body.

'What would I do without this beauty squad after 15 hours of flying and only 3 hours of sleep?' Miss Bundchen trilled in a caption, adding the obnoxious hashtag #multitasking.

Must be nice: The model mom posted this shot of her mommy-and-me yoga session with baby Vivian

Being as out-of-touch as she is gorgeous seems to come naturally to Gisele, from telling other mothers how to feed their children to chastising new moms for pregnancy weight gain.

'There should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies,' she told a fashion magazine.
She added: 'I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate and I gained only  30 pounds (just over 2st).'
She also bragged that losing baby weight is a breeze. So much so that she described taking care of her house and husband just 24 hours after giving birth: 'The next day I was walking, I was washing dishes, I was making pancakes in the kitchen.'

Mary-Kate Olsen hints at plans to make her own bridal gown for wedding to Olivier Sarkozy

Mary-Kate Olsen has hinted she might make her own wedding dress. 

The 27-year-old fashion designer - who previously worked on a bridal gown for a friend with her sister and design partner Ashley - hasn't thought about what to wear for her own big day since getting engaged to Oliver Sarkozy in March, but has toyed with the idea of creating a dress herself. 

She told WWD: 'I'm not even there yet. I think it may be a matter of getting five or six, or making two or three and being stressed out. That seems kind of far away. We'll take one step at a time.'

Fashion forward: Mary-Kate Olsen, 27, has hinted she might make her own bridal dress for her upcoming wedding to Olivier Sarkozy, 44 (right)

The Olsen sisters are preparing to open the first standalone shop for their The Row label in their hometown, Los Angeles, after deciding against their adopted city of New York.

Mary-Kate said: 'We've always wanted our own store - it's always been part of the plan.

'It was a toss-up between New York and Los Angeles, and when this space became available, we jumped on it. It used to be a hair salon and my sister and I used to come here, so we were very aware of the space.'

Ashley chimed in: 'We are from here, and The Row started here, so it was all very appropriate.'

The dress: 'I think it may be a matter of getting five or six, or making two or three and being stressed out,' Mary-Kate (right, with Ashley at the Met Gala) said. 'That seems kind of far away. We'll take one step at a time'

Design duo: Mary-Kate (right) and her twin sister co-founded several fashion labels - The Row and Elizabeth and James, which are both high-end, and the more affordable lines Olsenboye and StyleMint

The store is tucked away in Melrose Place and unusually boasts a swimming pool in the courtyard, as well as offices where the sisters will work. 

Mary Kate added: 'We have all 170 pieces in our collection represented here. A lot of stores obviously don't buy the whole collection, maybe 20per cent, so this is really the place where we can present it like a showroom.'

Mary-Kate revealed her engagement to French banker Olivier Sarkozy in March.

Olivier, whose half-brother is former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, has two children from a previous marriage - ten-year-old daughter Margot and 12-year-old son Julien.

Even MORE wedding bells: The twins' younger sister Elizabeth, 25, (pictured with her fiance on Thursday) got engaged to boyfriend Boyd Holbrook in March, just weeks after Mary-Kate

Her engagement ring was a vintage Cartier sparkler with a four-carat European-cut diamond surrounded by 16 sapphires.

Mary-Kate isn't the only Olsen sibling set to walk down the aisle in the near future; younger sister Elizabeth got engaged to boyfriend Boyd Holbrook in March.

The 25-year-old, who met her fiance on the set of the film Very Good Girls, will star in a new remake of Godzilla, set to hit theaters in the U.S. on May 16.

ustin Bieber 'deserves vandalism felony' for alleged egging of neighbour's home, claims chief investigating officer

A senior investigating officer claims Justin Bieber ‘deserves a felony’ for the alleged egging of a property close to his sprawling Calabasas home.
The 20-year-old old singer is understood to have caused more than $20,000 worth of damage to his neighbour’s property during a frenetic attack on the residence in January.
Speaking to TMZ, Lt. Dave Thompson says Bieber, who was identified on CCTV footage from the scene, deserves the harshest punishment available for vandalism.

The apple of her eye: But Justin Bieber, seen here with mother Pattie Lynn Mallette on Sunday, could be charged with a felony for the alleged egging of a neighbours property

‘I led a team of people into a house where there's armed security,’ he said of his ensuing search of Bieber’s home. ‘I wouldn't have done that if this was just a misdemeanor case.’
A final decision on Bieber’s fate rests with Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey and her officials – and the precocious singer’s alleged victim claims he could well be charged.
The neighbour claims the Deputy DA told him: ‘If we don't charge him with a felony we ruin precedent for every other felony case we want to charge.’
Following the incident said victim – who was at home with his 13-year-old daughter at the time of the attack – was forced to submit damages to the tune of $20,000 in the aftermath.

Trouble brewing: Bieber was his typical brash self at the Four Seasons on Mother's Day, but behind the scenes the Los Angeles District Attorney's office are weighing up his potential punishment

Identified: Police matched an Instagram of Justin Bieber wearing a distinctive sweater to the CCTV of the egging incident

A police incident report written by the investigating officer describes how the star is seen running towards the home, before returning 'laughing and celebrating' with his friends, at the time of the attack in January.
'I observed Suspect Bieber run down his driveway from his residence and in the direction of [the victim's house],' stated the investigating officer, in the report.
A short time later I observed Suspect Bieber... high fiving [a group of males]. Suspect Bieber and the other males appeared to be laughing and celebrating.'

And the report also explains how Bieber was identified - by his ugly sweater.
Bieber posted an Instagram picture of himself wearing the same outfit seen on the CCTV footage that day.

My hopes went that way: The chief investigating officer is urging for the harshest possible punishment for vandalism

'I compared the Instagram photo to the surveillance video,' writes the officer, in a report posted on TMZ.
'I observed Suspect Bieber was in the same attire as depicted... wearing a white sweatshirt with black images along the neckline.
'Suspect Bieber is also wearing a dark colored ball cap with a white logo in the center.'
Court records show that detectives investigating a felony vandalism case against Justin Bieber have obtained a search warrant for the pop star's Instagram account.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department detective obtained a warrant to search Bieber's account with the online photo-sharing site on March 13.

Pixie is sophisticated in brocade dress alongside bright Myleene Klass at The Radio Academy Awards

She often wears rather fun outfits that are both bold in colour in and style.

But on Monday evening Pixie Lott decided to tone her down her look somewhat as she attended The Radio Academy Awards 2014 at the Grosvenor Hotel.

Her look was in stark contrast to just a few days earlier when she had flashed her chest in a mesh crop top as she partied alongside Miley Cyrus in Soho.

The pop singer instead looked very demure in the fitted strapless dress, which fell just about her knees.

She teamed it with a pair of delicate open toe heels and her hair was worn loose around her shoulders, perfectly straightened.

Keeping it classy: Both of the women wore dresses which were fitted and fell just above their knees

Giggles: Pixie managed to make Myleene dissolve into giggles as they posed up for pictures

The only pop of colour came with her orange tinted lipstick and pale blue clutch bag.

In contrast Myleene Klass couldn’t be missed wearing a shimmering yellow dress, which caught the light as she moved.

The 36-year-old looked sensational in the eye-catching number which she teamed with a pair of red stiletto heels.

Heartbroken Katherine Jenkins pays touching tribute to best friend Polly Noble as she loses her battle with cancer

Heartbroken Katherine Jenkins paid tribute to her best friend Polly Noble as she passed away following a seven year battle with cervical cancer.

The singer posted a picture of herself and her friend on Twitter on Monday with the caption: ‘Heartbroken. Rest in Peace my darling friend’.

The pair became friends when they met as struggling singers in 2001 and Katherine previously told You Magazine that she always felt Polly was the ‘true star’ out them both.

Rest in peace: Heartbroken Katherine Jenkins paid tribute to her best friend Polly Noble(L) after she passed away following a seven year battle with cervical cancer

Polly was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2005 and had to share the heartbreaking diagnosis with Katherine over the phone while Jenkins was on tour.

Speaking to You Magazine, Jenkins said: ‘She didn’t look or sound ill – it was just unbelievable.

And of course the word cancer frightens the life out of me because I had watched my father die of lung cancer when I was 15.

She added: ‘But he had been nearly 70, and Polly was just 24. She was too young; she had too much to live for.’

Katherine was there to support her friend as she went through surgery before having chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Initally, the treatment worked and Polly was able to move back to London where she lived cancer free for three years.

Best friends: The singer posted a picture of herself and her friend on Twitter on Monday with the caption, 'Heartbroken. Rest in Peace my darling friend'

However, in 2010, she found a lump in her neck that turned out to be a secondary tumour.

Katherine recalled the moment she found out as she said: ‘This time her oncologist told her that although she could have more treatment, the cancer was ultimately incurable.

‘She called me from the hospital with the news. Neither of us cried. We were too stunned.’

Katherine was inspired by her best friend’s strength as she said: ‘Polly has turned her own experiences into an incredibly positive force.

The book she has co-written on coping with cancer is just what I wish I had been able to turn to when my father became ill.

She has also trained as a holistic health coach, become a nutrition guru and developed her own website on healthy living.’

Katherine shared another picture of the pair on Instagram with the caption: 'Heartbroken - Sleep now with the angels'.

For you dad: Katherine Jenkins ran the 2013 Virgin London Marathon in honour of her father, who also passed away following his battle with cancer

Lourdes Leon spends Mother's Day with her father Carlos and his wife as Madonna tweets up a storm

Her famous matriarch spent Mother's Day tweeting shots of her brood, but on Sunday, Madonna's eldest child Lourdes made time for her daddy despite the national day of celebration.

The 17-year-old, who featured in her mom's #oneluckymother posts in an adorable flashback shot, looked teenage-style serious as she wandered the streets of Manhattan with the Cuban personal trainer.

The pair were joined by the 47-year-old's wife, Danish designer Bettina Holt, for the sunny city stroll.

Mother's Day meandering: Lourdes Leon spent Sunday with her father Carlos Leon and his girlfriend Bettina Holt in Manhattan

Lourdes was wearing a Boston Celtics sport top, cycling shorts and sneakers while her step-mother kept cool in mini dress and boots.

Carlos did nothing to embarrass his teenager in a relatively cool jeans and T-shirt combo in dark hues.

But the likelihood that Lourdes was grimacing after a dressing down from her father is slim given that this Papa - funnily enough - Doesn't Preach.

'My daughter is everything': Madonna has always encouraged Lourdes to have a close relationship with her father

Teenage scowl? Lourdes looked a little grumpy as she made her way around the city

Mini me: Lourdes looks just like her famous mother, and has a similar style
