Angelina Jolie looked gorgeous in grey at a photo call for her latest directorial effort,
Unbroken, and she took a moment to pose with the film's stars at the Sydney Harbor in Australia.
The 39-year-old actress then spoke at Sydney's Opera House for a press conference, and she opened up a little bit about her personal life. Jolie revealed that she and husband Brad Pitt were apart for several months while she was filming the flick, and that they kept in touch the old-fashioned way!
"We wrote letters back and forth, 1940s-style," she said. She then gushed about how supportive her hubby was during the project, and said, "[Unbroken] is an epic about the human spirit, so I think certainly in knowing, less about the technical aspect of shooting a war film, but more what I know of him [Brad] as a man and living with this great man and seeing the choices he makes with our family, our children, the way he treats me and the values he holds and learning from my sons. These are things I think I brought to the film that I understand about men and what I love about men, and what I think I'd want our generation to be reminded of."

Kim Kardashian appeared on the Australian TV show The Project today, and the reality star dished all about her infamous Paper Magazine shoot, in which she bared her naked ass (and boobs and vag) for the publication.
Kim started off by saying, "I looked back at a clip of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last season and I was really heavily pregnant, I was about eight months pregnant, and I looked at my sisters and said, ‘You guys, when I feel like I have my body back, I’m doing a nude shoot.'"
"I was so honored and excited to work with [photographer Jean-Paul Goude] because he is a legend, and for me that was something I wanted to do to make myself feel confident," she continued. "As a role model I'm not saying anyone else should do that, but for me it was an art project and it taught me to do what you want to do. I'm never one to preach, but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I love the photos, I did it for me, I hope other people like them."
Show host Rove McManus told Kim he loved the raunchy pics, and then asked, "Can you actually balance a champagne glass on your derriere, or was it all Photoshopped?" Kim insists it was real and said with a laugh, "My back hurt for about a week after that shoot. I used muscles -- [Goude] has an art of posing you and it was definitely not comfortable."
Of course, McManus was so interested in this, he then asked Kim to either do it again or teach him how to do it, and Kardashian happily agreed to help him out, but he just couldn't get it right. "You don't have as big a butt as I do, so..."

But maybe she should have kept it up?
Gwyneth Paltrow hit the gym over the weekend, and after wearing a pair of wild $1080 Stella McCartney platform shoes the previous day, the Oscar winner wore an equally eye-catching pair of Nikes. And rather than showing off her amazing bod in a pair of spandex, the
Goop founder went with a pair of semi-drop crotch workout pants. G.P. certainly knows how to keep her fitness fashion fresh and funky!
And maybe Gwynnie had to sweat away the stress of a recent
New York Times profile, which basically pointed out that her lifestyle brand is in the red.
The
NY Times article states, "Goop is still in 'investment phase, business-speak for losing money ... According to accounts filed at Companies House in London before the relocation, Goop lost £22,954 (about $35,946) in 2012, on revenue of £1,127,465 (one British pound now equals about $1.60), and had net liabilities in 2013 of £540,086 ($844,7702)." Yikes!

She always looks so perfect!
Gwen Stefani stopped by her regular acupuncture appointment in L.A. this morning and dressed for the colder temperatures in leather jogging pants and a white sweater, but we love how she gave her outfit a punch up with some colorful accessories.
The singer has a lot on her plate these days, with
The Voice and her music and her L.A.M.B. clothing design, so we totally understand why she relies on the ancient Chinese practice to keep herself healthy and in-tune!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards had a family outing with her three daughters, including 18-year-old Alexia, who was attacked by Kyle's sister Kim's pitbull two weeks ago. The mother/daughter duo were joined by Kyle's hubby Mauricio Umansky and daughters Sophia and Farrah. And you couldn't tell this fam had quite the scare just a couple of weeks ago!
The family looked happy despite the recent pitbull attack that happened on November 1 at Kim's home. The dog, named Kingsley, bit the teen multiple times, ripping through the flesh in her hand all the way down to her bone. Ouch!
Kyle's daughter has reportedly had two different surgeries after the attack.
Even though the dog has reportedly attacked other people, fellow reality star Kim isn't getting rid of the dog. She told
Radar, "The events that led up to Kingsley biting Alexia resulted from the girls entering my bedroom after I already told them my room was off limits. Alexia has been away from college for months and hasn't seen Kingsley in a long time."
So Kim is publicly blaming her own niece? Nice one.
The aunt of the year went on to defend her beast, "Kingsley is used to the home being full of children and since the kids have gone away, the house has become quiet. While the two have been very close and friendly in the past, the dog has become very protective of me in the meantime. When guests are over, Kinglsey stays in my bedroom and has been given access to a special fenced in area in my backyard. Anyone entering the house is made aware that the dog should not be bothered."
Ya hear that Alexia?! It's your fault!

Back to what matters most!
Ryan Gosling flew home to L.A. this weekend after shooting his latest movie
The Nice Guys in Atlanta for the past several weeks, and the actor seemed like he was eager to get back to girlfriend Eva Mendes and their infant daughter Esmeralda.
The couple welcomed their little princess a mere eight weeks ago, but in that short amount of time, their lives have totally changed. "[Eva] is absolutely in heaven being a mom. She's never been happier. She and Ryan are just in awe of this beautiful person they created. It's a really special time for them," a source dished to
People.
The hunky A-lister has fully embraced fatherhood, too. "Ryan is very hands on. Changes diapers, rocks her to sleep—they gave her her first bath together and videotaped the whole thing," another source dished to
E! News.
We wish gorgeous Mr. Gosling was rushing into our loving arms!

Drew Barrymore jetted back to Los Angeles after spending the last few days in New York City with her hubby Will Kopelman and their two daughters, and it looks like the family was happy to be back home.
Drew isn't making the rounds for any movies at the moment, but with a vineyard and a makeup line to promote, she made a number of TV appearances last week. From
The View to
The Tonight Show, the 40-year-old actress was a busy bee, and the week before that she chatted with Savannah Guthrie on
The Today Show and revealed that she's going to be spending less and less time in front of the cameras.
"It's hard to be present when you wake up before [the kids] and come home after they've gone to bed," she said. "That's just not the way I want to have this journey with my kids at this point in their life. But maybe when they're older, I will feel differently. At this point, I think that it has to be few and far between."

Bruiser is banged up!
Bruce Jenner grabbed Starbucks in Calabasas over the weekend, and we couldn't help but notice the wounds on the former Olympian's hands as he carried his coffee to the car. Kendall and Kylie's dad was involved in a crash in a Baja race with son Burt last Thursday, and while it was said they walked away without injury, it appears Brucey might have suffered a scratch or two in the accident.
Also, we wonder why he's still wearing ring? His estranged wife Kris is in the throws of new romance with boyfriend Corey Gamble, so a reconciliation seems super unlikely. It could be that the reality star just enjoys a pretty piece of bling, but maybe he should think about getting a different bauble if that's the case!
