- Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) married British television personality Dawn Porter.
- Actor Bradley Cooper tells The Hollywood Reporter why he’s sober, “I don't drink or do drugs anymore. Being sober helps a great deal ... I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, What's happening?”. He goes on to discuss his lowest point, "I was at a party and deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor -- like, Hey, look how tough I am! And I came up, and blood dripped down. And then I did it again. I spent the night at St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up.”
- Claire Danes and husband Hugh Dancy are expecting their first child next year. According to Danes, there are no plans to writer her pregnancy into her show, Homeland.
- Emily Robison and boyfriend Martin Strayer, welcomed a baby girl, Violet Isabel. This is the fourth child for Emily, who has three kids from her previous marriage.

- Jessica Simpson is lamenting her baby weight. “I let myself indulge in everything I wanted because it was the first time I was ever pregnant, and I wanted to enjoy it, I didn't realize [the weight] didn't all come off with the baby.” Right, because nobody you know has ever been pregnant. She also claims, “My body is not bouncing back like a supermodel, I'm just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé and herself.” An everyday woman, whatever! She has a personal trainer and is a spokesperson for Weight Watchers. Simpson plan is to reveal her “post-baby body on Katie Couric's new show, Katie, airing Sept. 10.”
