On Sunday Drew Barrymore stopped by Whole Foods in West Hollywood, and the pregnant actress showed off her baby bump in a pair of loose jeans and a striped top.
During a recent chat with
USA Today, Barrymore gushed about being a parent and how it's changed her life. "I like how motherhood makes me think about everything I do. I used to act first and think second," she said. "Being impulsive was part of my job. Being a mom makes me think first and act second." After the interview, Barrymore said she was on her way to the grocery store to get the ingredients for stuffing muffins. "I'm going to test them before the holidays so I don't mess up on the day," she joked. We're guessing she mastered the recipe!
Last month Barrymore confirmed that she and hubby Will Kopelman were expecting their second child (the two are already proud parents to daughter Olive), and it's been reported that she's due in February.

Maria Bello revealed that she is gay and in a long term relationship in an article she penned for the
New York Times titled "Coming Out as a Modern Family."
The piece was published on Friday, November 29, and the actress said the first tough decision was telling her 12-year-old son Jackson. "This was the moment I had been anticipating and dreading for months," she wrote. "I took a deep breath, knowing that my answer, and his response, would have an impact on our lives for a very long time. I was with someone romantically and I hadn't told him. I had become involved with a woman who was my best friend, and, as it happens, a person who is like a godmother to my son."
Bello was previously in a relationship with TV executive Dan McDermott (he's the father of their son), and she writes, "[Dan] will always be my partner because we share Jack. Dan is the best father and the most wonderful man I've known. Just because our relationship is nonsexual doesn't make him any less of a partner. We share the same core values, including putting our son first. My more recent ex, Bryn, remains my partner because we share our activism. And Clare will always be my partner because she is also my best friend."
Bello added that Clare started off as her friend, and after realizing that she hadn't had the best luck with love over the years, she decided to see what could develop between the two:
"I read [my old journals] about the handful of men and the one woman I had been in romantic relationships with, passages rife with pain and angst. It seemed when I was physically attracted to someone, I would put them in the box of being my 'soul mate' and then be crushed when things didn't turn out as I had hoped. As I continued to look through photos, I came across a black-and-white one of my best friend and me taken on New Year’s Eve. We looked so happy, I couldn’t help but smile. It didn't occur to me, until that soul-searching moment in my garden, that we could perhaps choose to love each other romantically."
So how did her family react? She writes, "My father's response came between puffs of his cigar while we sat on the roof of a casino in Atlantic City. 'She's a good girl, good for you.'" Good for her -- for finding love and for speaking out about it so candidly!
The same day the article ran, Maria tweeted the photo below and wrote, "Giving thanks for my modern family. Happy thanksgiving for whatever kind of family you have."

Paul Walker was working on several films at the time of his
tragic death over the weekend, one of which,
Hours, is set to be released on December 13.
In the film Walker plays a father trying to keep his infant daughter alive after Hurricane Katrina, and the trailer made the rounds on the internet over the weekend.
It seems as though Walker got involved with the project due to his own personal interest in helping the victims of natural disasters. Walker created the non-profit organization Reach Out Worldwide after seeing the devastation from the Haiti earthquake in January of 2010, and he also helped victims from the 2010 Chile earthquake and the Oklahoma City tornado in June.
When he died, Walker was attending a toy drive in Santa Clarita, California to raise money for the thousands of people in the Philippines affected by the recent typhoon.

On Sunday Kris Jenner took granddaughter Penelope and grandson Mason to the Lego store near the Kardashian family compound in Calabasas, and it looks like Kourtney's kids got plenty of loot!
Kris and the nanny carried out two large bags of toys, and both Penelope and Mason looked thrilled to be spending some quality time with their grandma.
And speaking of family matters, Kim Kardashian let her mama bear claws show over the weekend after getting into a feud with a Twitter user. "We took our baby girl swimming today for the 1st time, she loved it so much! #BestDayEver," Kim wrote, to which one of her followers replied that they were glad little Nori "got to see her parents for a change!"
Kim retaliated with the following tweet:
"u sound so ignorant. Bc I don't tweet or instagram my every move w my daughter means I am not with her 247? We share what we want. Or is it bc I go support my fiance at every show & I post pix? When the baby goes down 4 bed or a nap, parents are allowed 2 work & support each other, maybe even have fun too."

The Black Friday deals may be over, but that didn't stop Jennifer Garner from taking her oldest daughter shopping on Saturday.
The mother-daughter duo spent the morning browsing shops in Brentwood. It's only fitting that they bought a violet jacket that Violet wore out of the store. They later stopped by a local cafe to grab coffee when Jennifer ran into a friendly face.
While they enjoyed a girls' day, Ben Affleck tended to his vintage car. The Oscar winner gassed up his burgundy '66 Chevrolet Chevelle. Or tried to anyway. The future Batman couldn't find the gas tank and was forced to enlist a station attendant to fill up fuel. There's nothing better than a good Samaritan ...

Tyrese Gibson couldn't hold back the tears when he visited his
Fast and the Furious costar Paul Walker's memorial site Sunday afternoon.
Paul and his longtime friend and business partner
Roger Rodas died on Saturday following a fiery
car crash. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said "speed was a factor" in the accident.
Tyrese went to the Santa Clarita, Calif. site of the accident to pay tribute to his friend. E! News' Marcus Mulick tweeted the picture above and wrote, "Tyrese just showed up at Paul Walker's crash site. Didn't say a word, just cried and left." Videos posted on social media (including the one below from the
Los Angeles Times' James Barragan) also show a somber scene: Fans stood silently as Tyrese cried aloud.
While most people left flowers behind, the actor took something with him: a piece from the wreckage. "I will keep your energy with me forever #AshesOfAnAngel fast family around the world we live you and we love you Paul is the heartbeat of this franchise and were gonna see to it that his energy and presence lives on forever #myhearthurtssobad," he captioned an Instagram picture.

Anne Hathaway is a no-fuss kind of gal.
The Oscar winner made a morning coffee run at a local deli near her home in West Hollywood on Saturday. Unlike their previous PDA-filled outing at a vegan restaurant earlier this month, hubby Adam Shulman waited in the car for his lady love.
Although the epitome of glamour on the red carpet, the starlet was makeup free and dressed down when grabbing a cup of joe. Anne looked cute and causal in (very) distressed boyfriend jeans, a grey sweater and black high tops. Black, thick-rimmed glasses completed the adorkable look.

Will Joe Jonas be the next Jo Bro to get hitched?
Joe stepped out with girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler on Saturday in Beverly Hills. The couple looked completely smitten as they held hands while walking to the K and L Wine shop. The duo is bound to be spending more time together since the Jonas Brothers called it quits in late October. And with Kevin married with a baby on the way, it might be time for the middle child to settle down as well.
After all, how could Blanda resist that Movember Mustache?
