Jessica Simpson taped an appearance on an upcoming episode of the Rachael Ray Show, and not only did she talk about her pregnancy cravings, but she reminded us that she's still the ditzy blonde we fell in love with on Newlyweds.

"That's the one thing about pregnancy -- I'll cry at the drop of a hat," she told Ray. "Even a great souffle would make me cry! I felt [the baby] move the other day for the first time and I had big crocodile tears. It was the coolest thing ever. It did a flip or something. I was like, 'There it went. It's there. It's really there.'"

Unfortunately, Jessica seems to be having another Chicken of the Sea moment, as crocodile tears are generally defined as a false or "insincere display of grief." Jess is clearly smart enough to make millions of dollars off of her fashion empire, movies and music, but it seems like her IQ is still closer to her waist measurement than her weight.

Simpson also revealed that she is fiending for all sorts of different foods, telling Ray, "This week it's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toasted. And then, I'll put some salt on my hand like I'm taking a tequila shot and then take a bite of the sandwich." Ick!

Zac Efron is showing off his bulging biceps in the new trailer for The Lucky One. After watching the former High School Musical hottie in action, we feel like the lucky ones!

In the flick, Zac plays a soldier injured in Iraq who returns home in search of a woman he credits with saving his life ... via a photograph. Lucky actress Taylor Schilling plays his love interest. Plus, there are a few shirtless scenes with Zac ... which we don't mind.

The Lucky One, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow's mom Blythe Danner, hits theaters next April.

Twitter/Paris Hilton

Last night Paris Hilton had a holiday party at her Hollywood Hills home, and the heiress posted this pic on Twitter and wrote, "Tonight's gonna be a good good night! #YES! Family Guy and Archer at my Christmas Party. Love it! My Electric Christmas with the best people! @DJAfrojack spinned the sickest set ever! Everyone had the time of their lives! So much fun! #YES!"

Judging from the hot shot above, we'd have to agree!

NY Times Magazine

Brad Pitt's blonde locks are looking a bit intense these days ... or at least for this New York Times Magazine photo shoot.

The 47-year-old Moneyball actor is just one of several stars featured in the mag's "Touch of Evil" spread. The photo shoot represents classic evil characters throughout the history of film. Brad is channeling Eraserhead from David Lynch's 1977 film.

Angelina Jolie's hubby is also starring in a brief video in which he slowly turns to the camera with his mouth opening wide. Yep, pretty creepy!

Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin were photographed filming Gangster Squad in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre last night in Hollywood, and the actors looked quite dapper in their period costumes.

The film is about LAPD's battle "to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s," according to IMDb, and it also stars Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte and Giovanni Ribisi. Can't wait for this one to hit the big screen next October!

Following her child-welfare hearing earlier this week, Mindy McCready is sitting down with ABC's 20/20 to talk about the accusations that she kidnapped her five-year-old son Zander.

During the interview, the country star currently pregnant with twins, said the following:

“I ... will not ever think that me taking my own child, that I carried for nine months, that I gave birth to in the hospital by myself would ever be breaking the law. What I did was to protect my child, and there’s not a person in the world that’s going to tell me that that is wrong.”

McCready had taken Zander from her mother's Florida home last week (Gayle McCready is Zander's legal guardian), and several days later authorities found the troubled country singer and her son hiding in a closet in Arkansas.

The singer also revealed the moment the U.S. marshals arrived to take her son, Zander. She adds:

“He was screaming: ‘Please don’t touch me, please don’t touch me, please don’t touch my mommy. Please, leave me alone, I want to be with my mommy."

McCready lost custody of Zander in 2007. He is now in foster care.

Angelina Jolie graces the cover of the January 2012 issue of Marie Claire, and the 36-year-old actress gets up close and personal in this stunning black and white photo spread. Jolie talks about her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, and she also chats with the mag about her family and the possibility of having more kids.

On whether she and Brad Pitt are looking to add to their family, Jolie says, "Nothing planned at the moment, but we just don't know. I could end up pregnant."

So how are her youngest children, twins Knox and Vivienne doing? "Knox is very much a dude. Very physical, tough. He loves dinosaurs and swords," Jolie says. "[Vivienne] is so elegant and delicate. Vivi will pick flowers from the garden and put them in her hair. She likes to get her nails done and collects stuffed animals. It's very funny for me to have to buy all things pink and watch princess movies!"

Jolie reveals that writing In the Land of Blood and Honey "began as a private exercise, an excuse to get out some of my frustrations [with] the international community and justice issues," adding that "some of the very darkest sections of the film were conceived in Shiloh's art class; I was in the back waiting for the kids to finish." Interesting!

On working with her film's actresses, Jolie says, "It was nice for me to play with other girls; I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed... Well, I have a few girlfriends, I just... I stay at home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound."

Twitter

Demi Lovato is showing off her new "Faith" tattoo via her Twitter account along with the following phrase, "Sometimes you just gotta have a little bit of...."

Early this year, the Disney starlet went to rehab to battle depression and an eating disorder.

The 19-year-old singer's powerful ballad "Skyscraper" brought Demi back into the spotlight. The song is the first single off her third album, Unbroken.

Way to keep the faith, Demi!
