After "consciously uncoupling" from husband Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow is converting to Judaism, reports
Page Six.
But really, this isn't so shocking. The Oscar winner's late father, film producer Bruce Paltrow, was Jewish and her mom Blythe Danner, is Christian, and Gwyn previously revealed that she was raised with both religions, which “was such a nice way to grow up.”
And not only that, but Gwyn has reportedly been following Kabbalah for several years.
In 2011, Gwyn appeared on NBC’s ancestry show
Who Do You Think You Are? and she explained how her family came from a long line of influential Eastern European rabbis.
Several months later, at an event in London, she reportedly told several guests in attendance that she wants to raise her daughter, Apple, 10, and son, Moses, 8, in a Jewish household.

Gwen Stefani constantly amazes us. Just six months after giving birth to baby Apollo, the svelte singer was spotted in a sheer top heading out to an event during New York Fashion Week.
Last night, the mother of three wore a dark leather jacket, with drop-crotch print pants and her hair down in curls. No matter what time of day -- Gwen is the picture of perfection!
Later that night, she debuted Apollo while attending the 2014 US Open. The two made quite the adorable scene!
The platinum rocker has been making the rounds in NYC recently, talking about her new gig on NBC's
The Voice. Just last night she appeared on
Late Night and sat down with host Seth Meyers and talked about getting the job offer to host the hit singing competition.
Stefani, who was pregnant at the time, said, "I got this call out of nowhere ...My parents were over...I just put the phone down and I was like, 'My life is so weird. They just asked me to do
The Voice." The No Doubt songstress said of giving birth to son Apollo earlier this year, "I feel like I've been in a cocoon having a baby and now I'm like a butterfly."

Hot new romance?
Rumors are swirling Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid are dating after they were spotted going on a cozy stroll through SoHo on Thursday. The pair were first linked last month after the
Sports Illustrated model wished the singer a happy birthday by posting an Instagram pic of them together.
The timing would be right for them to couple up! The blonde beauty split with boyfriend Cody Simpson in July, and the "Burning Up" crooner called it quits on his two year relationship with Blanda Eggenschwiler around the same time.
We think Gigi could snag a way hotter man than a JoBro, but maybe she was swept off her feet by his personality!

We don't see how they can continue without the queen!
In the wake of Joan Rivers' death on Thursday, E! Entertainment remains undecided if they will continue filming
Fashion Police with her.
"
Right now we are mourning our beloved Joan. We will respond at a later date with programming updates," a spokesperson told
Deadline. Prior to the comedienne's passing when they were still unsure about her recovery, the network opted to fill the show's time slot with alternate programming. "E! will not be producing a new
Fashion Police this week or next. Instead, we will be airing two E! From Fashion Week specials that will deliver the latest news and information from the highly-anticipated event," read the statement.
The 81-year-old's co-stars Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic, and George Kotsiopoulos are all grieving and need time to process the sad news. "I'm completely heartbroken by the loss of my beloved Joan. Not only was she my boss, she was and will always be my teacher, therapist, closest friend, inspiration and the only grandmother I ever knew. She was family and I will never forget her. Laughter will be difficult for a while but when I'm sad, lonely or upset all I will have to do is think of Joan and a smile will cross my face. Laughter is what she gave us and laughter is what she would want us to do in remembrance of her," Osbourne wrote on her Facebook page.
Hollywood lost a true legend!

She has never seemed happier!
Jessica Simpson has been through her fair share of weight ups and downs, but her newfound body confidence comes from the unconditional support of her husband Eric Johnson!
"
Eric has seen me at every size, and he loves me no matter what," she wrote in a new
Glamour mag column about her five vows for a loving marriage. "I am married to the love of my life and am constantly trying to be the best mom I can be for Maxwell and Ace," she continued.
The fashion mogul confessed she feels stronger than ever before, and much of that has to do with counting her blessings in life and not focusing on her flaws. "I embrace my strengths and celebrate even the small victories. I’m certainly not perfect, but when I look in the mirror, I’m proud of the woman I see. I’m not only someone’s mother, wife and daughter - I’m me," she proudly proclaimed.
It sounds like the blonde beauty has really come into her own!

Chris Brown covers the latest issue of
Billboard magazine, and the 25-year-old R&B bad boy opens up about how jail made him grow up and he even chats about his past with former flame Rihanna.
On his time behind bars:
You know, jail isn’t a place of many creative spirits. But as far as my creativity, I put it on hold until I got out. Jail is more of a regimen and a structure. I’m more of a free spirit when it comes to creating music, painting and art. So when I got out, I was very excited to get into the studio. I didn’t have any ideas or concepts; they usually come as I go [in to record]. I was drawing and sketching most of the time, biding time.
My maturity level has risen as far as my realizing what’s important. Realizing that I’m human like everyone else. At the end of the day, it’s just a humbling experience. You’re more appreciative of everything else that’s on the outside. A burger tastes 1,000 times better when you’re out."
When asked if he sees a day when his relationship with Rihanna "won’t be brought up at all," he says:
"When we’re not relevant anymore, that might be the case. As long as you’re doing something good, people will always bring up old stuff or negative stuff because they don’t want you to surpass a certain level or elevate. But as long as you have your head on straight, it shouldn’t matter what people want to say."
Does he see himself as a role model?
"[I had to feel] like this happened for a reason. There was a purpose. Maybe I was out of control too much. Or I needed something to humble me to the point where I get it. At that point, I didn’t look at it as trying to get out of the situation but learn from it.
As far as my mistakes in life, that’s being a role model, because people can see my mistakes and learn from them. I’ve gone through more stuff than most 35- or 40-year-olds, and I’ve dealt with it. As far as becoming a man in the public eye, continuing to persevere and stay positive throughout trials and tribulations … that’s the only thing I’d say contributes to my being a role model."
Funny, because he actually DOES sound more mature in this interview. Is it possibly Breezy is actually making some progress?

She ain't holding back this time around!
Reprising the sex-crazed that stole the show in the OG Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston is out for the big D yet again in the film's sequel, Horrible Bosses 2.
The second film finds the trio of buffoons, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, as they attempt to kidnap the son (Chris Pine) of a rich but dirty investor (Christoph Waltz). Of course the kidnapping plan does not go to plan and hijinx ensue.
At one point in the funny flick, Julia (Aniston) turns up at the hotel room of Nick (Bateman), Dale (Day) and Kurt's (Sudeikis) and threatens to call the police and unless they "plow" her.
Horrible Bosses 2 hits theaters on Nov. 26. We can't wait for the movie to come out -- because this trailer is hilarious!

Gisele and Jimmy Fallon on all fours?! Hello!
During a visit to The Tonight Show, the supermodel challenged host Jimmy Fallon to get on the floor, tighten his abs and assume the plank position -- and it's pretty impressive.
The leggy Brazilian, who is the new poster girl for Under Armour's new female friendly campaign, showed off her immense strength when she challenged the funny man to do some intense yoga moves.
Despite wearing a leather bodice, heels and trousers -- the mom of two shows off her fit form and her athletic prowess -- while Fallon flounders with the moves. Needless to say the powerhouse model schools the nerdy comedian in all things physical!
Other than her stop at The Tonight Show, Tom Brady's wife has been making headlines for her recent partnership with Under Armour, which is trying to branch out its brand to women.
The sportswear brand recently released a 60-second spot showing Gisele kickboxing while real-life Internet criticism is projected on both her and the walls. The whole thing is pretty powerful and we recommend a watch. We guess life can be hard for pretty girls too!
