Madge and her brood are on the move!
Madonna and her kids David and Mercy touched down at JFK today, and the whole gang was bundled up for the chilly East coast temps.
The pop star returned State-side after a week of skiing in the Swiss Alps and in case you missed it, Madge was recently caught flack for appropriating the images of Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana, and others to promote her new album
Rebel Heart. Fans were quick to slam the diva for comparing herself to such iconic figures, so the Grammy winner took to Facebook to defend herself. "I'm sorry. I'm not comparing my self to anyone. I'm admiring and acknowledging their Rebel Hearts. This is niether a crime or an insult or racist! If they put me in the same category as these other people... Thank you. I'm very flattered and I hope one day to live up to 1/100th of what those people accomplished," she wrote.
The Material Girl sure knows how to get people's attention!

Always expect the unexpected from Sia!
The Australian singer, whose hit song "Chandelier" made headlines with its edgy music video, has raised some more eyebrows with her latest music video,"Elastic Heart," which features 12-year-old Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, who was also in the "Chandelier" video, and 28-year-old Shia Labeouf dancing around together, trapped in a cage and almost naked. Umm yeah …
We aren't sure what the video is about (and given the fact that it's the often cryptic Sia we aren't sure we will ever know) but given the choppy blonde haircut maybe she's supposed to represent Sia as a child, trapped in some sort of emotional fight of her life.
And while we are sure it makes perfect, non-creepy sense to Sia, to us it looks like a preteen girl wearing not much clothes, dance-battling around passionately, somewhat erotically, and often violently with an almost-30-year-old man who is basically wearing a dirty underwear -- in a cage. Umm DID MADDIE'S MOM SEE THIS?!
While the choreography looks like a beautiful, it's pretty uncomfortable to watch, given the age difference. This relationship is way too Willow Smith/Moises Arias for our taste!

Sure she's past her child bearing years, but in the words of Justin Bieber, never say never!
Kris Jenner headed to a doctor's appointment in Beverly Hills yesterday, and we could help but think how funny it would be if she somehow miraculously got pregnant with boy toy Corey Gamble's baby!
Don't assume that because the momager is 59-years-old and already a grandmother it can't happen, because there was a 69-year-old woman in India who got pregnant and gave birth!
We know Kimmy K's mom likes to copy her daughters, so maybe popping out a kid is her next move to keep up with the rest of the Kardashians!

Benedict Cumberbatch and fiancée Sophie Hunter are having a baby!
The British star's rep said in a statement, "
I am delighted to confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child. They are both over the moon."
The couple got engaged just two months ago, and last month there were reports that the 38-year-old actor was making an offer on a $10 million home in Los Angeles. The pregnancy rumors went into overdrive when Hunter, 36, accompanied her hubby-to-be to the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 3 and covered up her stomach with a giant clutch.
So will they make it down the aisle before they become parents? "Sophie is a few months along, and both she and Benedict are very excited about it. They are also quietly planning to marry in early spring," a source tells
HollywoodLife.

What a difference a little eyeshadow makes!
Gwyneth Paltrow is one of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses, so she wasn't afraid to show how makeup totally transforms her into the the glamorous star we see on the red carpet. The Oscar winner shared before-and-after pictures on her Instagram, and she looks like a totally different person with a bare face! Who knew Gwynnie had wrinkles?!
The blonde beauty spends more than most people make in a year on beauty treatments, but judging from her au natural look, they aren't helping all that much. We've seen J.Lo without cosmetics and she puts the Goop queen to shame!

Ben Affleck's certainly in a good mood!
Maybe he's just pumped because he's about to get the Favorite Humanitarian Award at the People's Choice Awards tonight or maybe he just loves talking football?! Either way Ben couldn't have been chattier when our cameras caught the 42-year-old actor having a lunch with some friends at Tavern in Brentwood, Calif.
The buff daddy stopped and talked to our camera man about the second round of the NFL playoffs this weekend (at least we think that's what he's talking about ... we don't know anything about sports nor do we care ... but, he's really hot ... so that's nice), as well as his upcoming humanitarian award, which he says he's "very excited" to receive.
"We are so pleased to honor Ben with the 2015 People's Choice Humanitarian Award," said executive producer Mark Burnett in a statement. "This award has become an important part of our show. It highlights a different side of a celebrity and helps bring awareness to a cause that our audience can support."
The Gone Girl star was picked as this year's winner for his work with Eastern Congo Initiative, a grant-making and advocacy-based organization that he founded in 2010.
The people have spoken -- and they are all about Ben! And we can't blame them!

Jennifer Aniston covers the new issue of
InStyle, and the 45-year-old star is shockingly chatty about her thoughts on tabloid gossip, seeing a therapist -- and yup, that wedding we've all been waiting for!
On her upcoming nuptials, Jen says:
"There’s a big discussion in our house right now: Do you just do it and say screw it? Or do you try desperately to get away with [a secret ceremony] where you don’t have any fun because you’re hiding in a cave somewhere? If we could do it without all the buzzing and the noise… It can be done. When there’s a will, there’s a way."
And speaking of the media, the actress says she still gets irritated when she glances at tabloids. "I realize they need to sell magazines," she says. "But it’s really getting old. What kills me is when friends send me pictures they’ve taken at a newsstand. One magazine says, ‘Desperate and alone,’ and the other one says, 'She’s eloped!' I mean, at least consult."
So how would she write her own gossip headlines?
"Oh, that’s a tough one. That should be a Justin question. Wait a sec. How’s this? ‘When I’m pregnant and married, I will let you know.’ Not a tabloid publication. Not Bullsh*t Times or Crapass Bullsh*t Times Weekly. They will not be telling you. And by the way, stop stealing my thunder! Let me have the fun of telling that story."
On her past relationships, Jen continues:
"I mean, it’s no secret: I’ve had some challenging companionship. I think hitting a wall with that really kind of [helped me grow]. I found a really great therapist. Not to sound too 'woo woo,' but I think the self-love piece was really important. And spending a lot of time alone. Having time to ask myself why there was such toxicity in my immediate space at times. Why would I attract that instead of light?"

Will someone please tell her to stop embarrassing herself?!
Tara Reid decided to go bowling in nothing but jeans and a Wonderbra, and we have no clue why! Maybe she thought she was being funny, maybe she was trying to impress a guy, or maybe she just wanted attention on social media. Any way you look at it, it screams desperate!
The
American Pie actress has caught a lot of criticism lately for her skinny frame, so maybe she was trying to silence her haters by showing her hooters!
