henry cavillThe new Superman is such a cutie. But he wasn’t always seen as the hot celeb he is now. In a recent People magazine article, Henry Cavil said he was often bullied as a kid for being overweight. “I don’t hold a grudge against those guys. It brought me a perspective on how to treat others. Always be kind.” When asked how it feels to now be known as a heartthrob, Cavil said “I was never the cool kid surrounded by girls, so if women see me that way now, I’m enormously flattered.” (His humility makes us love him even more.)

Friends of the couple say that, in addition to two busy schedules, the couple are also renovating a new home and it’s a huge project, including an addition, guest house, and a new pool area complete with a pizza oven. Some people have speculated that the new home may even be a possible site for the upcoming wedding.

blake and mirandaDespite two busy superstar schedules and plenty of tabloid rumors, Blake Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert seem to be doing just fine. In a recent People magazine interview, Shelton says one of the secrets to success is this rule that they live by: “Total honesty means there’s no need for jealousy. … I’ll say ‘Go dig through my drawers or my computer if you feel like you need to.’ And that’s been a really good thing because I don’t want her to ever have any doubts.” Shelton also knows how to plan a nice surprise. He recently flew in for a surprise performance at one of Miranda’s concerts, shortly before their wedding anniversary.

leann rimesLeAnn Rimes said she would love to add a new baby to her family with Eddie Cibrian (who has two sons from a previous marriage.) She said her mother had fertility issues so she is open to the possibilities of adoption or surrogacy. “We have a lot of testosterone around here,”she said. Ï would love to have a little girl.”

emma stone and motherEmma Stone and her mother, Krista, attended the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation’s fundraiser recently. Emma brought along boyfriend and Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield to watch her mom enjoy the spotlight. Krista, who was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in 2008, has been cancer free for more than four years — having undergone a double mastectomy, 25 weeks of chemo, radiation and seven surgeries. Emma said her mother is now stronger than ever.

eva longoria2Congratulations to celebrity graduate Eva Longoria. The actress recently graduated with her master’s degree in Chicano studies from California State University. She celebrated with her parents and said “You’re never too old or too busy to continue your education.” So true. A few other celebrities donning a cap and gown include Ben Affleck, who received an honorary doctorate from Brown University and Daniel Day-Lewis, who received an honorary doctorate from Julliard.

captain kirkIn the spirit of “there’s an app for that,” here’s one that proves that there really is a little bit of everything on the app store. If you’re a Star Trek fan or know someone who is, check out the app newly launched by William Shatner. It’s called Shatoetry, and the app lets you arrange words to create sentences, phrases or messages and then hear the famous Captain Kirk say them for you. The app costs a dollar, but that might be money well spent to be able to send a message from Kirk to a true Trekkie. Live long and prosper.

grumpy catWe usually talk about celebrity humans in this column, but we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to report on this celebrity cat. Her name is Tardar Sauce, and she lives in Morristown, Arizona, but you probably know her best as “Grumpy Cat.” She has been seen on YouTube more than 15 million times. Fans wait in long lines just for a chance to have a picture made with her. But all the attention doesn’t make her look any less grumpy. The famous cat even has her own line of products now, including Grumpy Cat nail decals. Despite her grumpy looks, her owner, Tabitha, who is a 27-year-old student, says Tardar Sauce is actually a very sweet cat.

kate gosselin cookbookIf you’ve been wondering what Kate Gosselin has been up to, you might be surprised to know that she’s been cooking! Her new cookbook has just been released. It’s called “Love Is in the Mix,” and it features recipes inspired by her BIG family. With so many people to feed, Gosselin says that sometimes her bedroom feels like a waste of space because she considers the kitchen to be her real room. She also says it’s the one room in the house where she can hear everything that’s going on and can break up any sibling fights. Her two oldest kids will be teenagers this year.

kate pregnantIt looks like Duchess Kate has entered that great time of pregnancy when you actually feel good, and it certainly shows. She has had a busy social schedule lately and looks like the picture of health. Of course, everyone is anxious to know what the new baby’s name will be when he or she arrives. Most people making bets think that the names “Diana” and “Elizabeth” are the ones to beat if the baby is a girl. And they say “George” will likely be the name if it’s a boy. But there is no official word from the Royal Family.

nathon fillionApparently even TV stars get tongue-tied when they’re star struck. Actor Nathan Fillion, the star of the series Castle, said that while he was on a flight home from a film festival, he was reading a magazine that had Olivia Wilde on the cover and he was thinking about how attractive and pleasant she is. When he looked up, she was sitting next to him. “I didn’t say anything, but I offered her gum,” he said. Way to play it cool.
