Aleph's getting so big!
A dressed-down Natalie Portman got in some mommy time with her adorable three-year-old son Aleph. Wearing a sweatshirt and baggy jeans, the Oscar winner picked up the tiny tyke, who was wearing a Spiderman shirt, after a playdate with a friend.
This is definitely not the way we usually see the glamorous star. Recently, the doe-eyed brunette has appeared in the brand new advertising campaign for Miss Dior, the high-end perfume that she has been the face of for several years.
Last week, the 33-year-old struck a dashing pose on the red carpet while attending the 65th Berlin Film Festival to promote her new movie Knight Of Cups.

While you wouldn't think Kesha had a lot to smile about given her tumultuous 2014 -- she definitely does! The "Tik Tok" singer and her beau Brad Ashenfelter were positively beaming as they at LAX on Wednesday. Aww, we heart them!
The blonde bombshell, who is in a legal battle with her former producer Dr. Luke, after claiming that he sexually abused her, was all smiles when she turned up at the Los Angeles airport with her boyfriend. When asked if she and her gentleman caught a showing of 50 Shades of Grey over Valentine's Day weekend, the bubbly singer said, "It was so good. I loved it!" Kesha's is in a great mood, y'all!
For the flight, she donned a white top, tiny polka dot shorts and a chunky pair of heels. The pop princess had previously been in the Big Apple and while there made a string of fabulous appearances during New York Fashion Week.
We love that Brad is still by her side. The couple have been public about the relationship since last June.
While doing in an interview with Ryan Secreast on KIIS FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest on June 20, 2014, the "Die Young" singer talked about her love of dirty boys. The 27-year-old "I do [like dirty boys], not like physically covered in dirt, but I just like them to be beardy [with] long hair and look like a little homeless." She added, "I like guys who look like they don’t groom themselves. I'm not into guys who are very high-maintenance. I don’t want them to take longer to get ready than me."
During the interview, Kesha also gushed about of her bearded main man, whom she met through her stylist. "[Brad is] really, a really sweet human being ... I’m very happy to have him in my life … That’s way too much information for America to know." She continued,"But, I’m really happy with my beard."
Seven months later -- Kesha still seems happy with her (slightly more trimmed) beard!

We have a feeling Jay Z won't be smiling like this if he has to provide a judge with his DNA!
21-year-old aspiring rapper Rymir Satterthwaite filed a civil lawsuit in December of 2014 in which he accused Jay Z (nee Shawn Corey Carter) of lying to a court to avoid taking a paternity test. Satterthwaite filed the suit through his legal guardian, a paralegal named Lillie Coley, and he claims that when his mother Wanda tried to get Jay Z to submit to a test back in 2010, the mega-successful rapper weaseled his way out of it via a legal loophole.
In 2010 Satterthwaite's mother made another man take a paternity test, and after it was revealed that he wasn't the father, Wanda went after Jay Z, with whom she had a steamy affair in the 1990s. A family court judge in New Jersey originally dismissed the case, ruling that the court lacked jurisdiction over Jay Z, as he was not a New Jersey resident. However, in the legal docs filed by Coley, Jay Z and his lawyer, Lise Fisher, are accused of providing "fraudulent" and "false" information to the judge. Coley added that Jay Z lied to the court when he claimed he lived in Manhattan, New York, and not New Jersey, where he reportedly owns three houses.
So how is Beyonce, with whom Jay has a 3-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, handling all this? After rumors last year that the couple were splitting following their bust-up with Bey's sister Solange in an elevator last year, this could be disastrous.
"Beyonce is in pieces over what a divorce means to her," a source tells the National Enquirer. "But if Jay Z has fathered a love child, I’m sure she wouldn’t have any option. There’s only so much anyone can take! Jay Z would walk away with the majority of their fortune. Beyonce's put everything in his hands and she would be totally lost without him – so the idea of hiring a lawyer and going through a messy divorce is an unthinkable nightmare!" Sounds like it!

Shortly after Bobbi Kristina Brown was placed under a medically induced coma, the Brown family made it clear that her boyfriend Nick Gordon was banned from visiting with the 21-year-old starlet, and they're still not allowing him to spend any time with her.
Gordon’s attorneys told Us Weekly, "Nick has been trying, privately, to do everything he can to see Bobbi Kristina cooperatively. He has respected the family’s wishes and for that reason alone has not returned to the hospital and risked a public confrontation. But he desperately wants to be with the one he loves and continues to hope that his request will be granted."
Last week Bobbi Kristina's aunt Leolah spoke with Atlanta's Fox 5 and slammed Gordon, and when asked about whether he should face charges in the criminal investigation, she said, "Oh yes, 110 percent. ... I HOPE that he will be charged ... Soon." The week before that Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby told the media that the two were not married, despite the fact that Bobbi regularly referred to Nick as her husband.
Brown was found facedown in her bathtub three weeks ago this Saturday, and though it was initially labeled as an accident, police have now launched a criminal investigation into the incident after discovering new evidence. Gordon is allegedly at the center of the investigation, and police are especially interested in finding out more about the unexplained injuries on Bobbi’s body.

Of course, even in comfy clothes and no makeup, she still looks amazing!
Rihanna landed at Los Angeles International Airport late on Wednesday evening, and while she sometimes dresses up when she travels, this definitely wasn't the case last night. When she was snapped leaving NYC, the 26-year-old R&B superstar bundled up in a long black coat, and when she arrived in LA she had changed into a Kale sweatshirt. Funny, we've seen Beyonce (and half of Hollywood, for that matter) wearing this exact same top.
When she was in the Big Apple, Bad Gal RiRi and Leonardo DiCaprio were spotted leaving Up & Down nightclub together at 4:30 a.m., but contrary to reports that the duo are hooking up, it turns out RiRi is after Leo's close friend Richie Akiva!
“Richie was with Rihanna in St. Barth’s — that’s where it started,†an insider tells New York Daily News. “They’ve been hanging out together a lot.†When the two went to Akiva's club over the weekend, "Leo was seated at the same table, but he was hitting on different girls. Richie was bouncing between the two of them." Well then -- that's settled!

Iggy Azalea has announced that she's quitting social media after being criticized for recent photos of her body -- specifically her butt.
The 24-year-old Aussie singer/rapper was photographed on vacation with boyfriend Nick Young, and though she looks incredibly fit in a skimpy red bikini, she also gave the world a peek at the cellulite on her derriere. Even thought most women get cellulite at some point in their lives, apparently Iggy got slammed on Twitter and Instagram for it. After being attacked last year by Snoop Dogg (he compared her to the Wayans' brothers characters in White Chicks), it looks like she's had enough.
Iggy pointed out that the Internet is "the ugliest reflection of mankind that there is" and wrote:
"Just got back from a great vacation, came online and saw apparently it's shocking and unheard of to be a woman and have cellulite. Lol. I feel the hatred and pettiness i see online at all times is at making me become an angry person and I cannot be that. To become nasty because of the way I feel iam treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling. But I also want to let my fans know iam taking some time away from social media. I need to be happy and it is too negative and draining. My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA. Love you all. Peace out!"
Do you think she should have given up on social media or fought back?

On Wednesday night Brad Pitt took sons Pax, 11, and Maddox, 13, to the Miyavi concert at the El Rey Theatre in Hollywood, and it looks like the trio had a blast at the show! Brad and Angelina's youngest son Knox is just 6 years old, so he's still too young to be out with this group. And actually, we're kinda surprised Shiloh didn't tag along!
The group arrived just before 8pm, and after the show was over they piled into a chauffeured black SUV. In case you're wondering who Miyavi is, his real name is Takamasa Ishihara, and it turns out he starred in Unbroken, which Angelina directed. Ishihara played the villainous prison officer named Bird, and though he had never acted before, Jolie told reporters at a press conference last year, "And so I had this thought of someone who would have real presence … I thought a rock star." And apparently now he's yet another random Brangelina BFF!
We're not so sure about his music, but Miyavi IS known for his wild stage presence, so clearly the boys were entertained during the 2-hour set. And speaking of excitement, on Monday fire fighters and paramedics were called to Brangelina's Los Angeles home, but the reason for their visit is not known. The fire crew and EMTs didn't stay for long, and after exiting the house and chatting with a neighbor nearby, they took off. Brad and Angelina were at the American Society of Cinematographers 29th Annual Outstanding Achievement Awards the previous night, so the whole family was in town at the time. Seeing as there are six kids under the age of thirteen in that house, it's not surprising that there might be some mayhem!
