Hilary Duff Heats Up May 2015 Cover of SHAPE Magazine


It looks like she made good use of her time out of the spotlight, because Hilary Duff is back and hotter than ever.

The 27-year-old "Cheaper By The Dozen" star is featured on the front of SHAPE magazine's May 2015 issue, sporting a beautiful smile and some killer abs.

Of her new TV Land show "Younger," Duff explains, "I embrace the mess. I had to be careful not to screw up in public as a child actor. So on my new show, Younger—which is written by Darren Star, who created Sex and the City—it's really fun for me to play Kelsey, a 27-year-old book editor whose personal life is a hot mess. She always chooses the wrong guy, drinks way too much, and has to cover for herself the next morning." Hilary also shares her fitness philosophy- "I don't do auto-gym. I go three times a week and mix it up every time. I work out with weighted balls, battle ropes, and big rubber bands. I do this thing with a sledgehammer where I swing it and hit a rubber block, and it gets out all of my aggressions. Everyone is like, 'Uh-oh, Hilary's got the hammer—get out of the way!'"

Robert Downey Jr Debuts 5-Month-Old Daughter Avri


He's a man of many talents, and it turns out Robert Downey Jr has a knack for having super-adorable kids.

Last night (April 23) the "Iron Man" hunk showed up on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and he brought a photograph of his daughter Avri, born back in November of 2014.

Downey explained, "I have three: a 21-year-old, Indio, a 3-year-old, Exton, and now Avri is a little over 5 months. I thought I'd show the first picture on planet Earth here with you, kind sir. The yellow bonnet helps! You gotta love a yellow bonnet."

At Midnight, James Franco Called Us to Talk About Porn


James Franco should be sleepy. It's after midnight, and he's just wrapped a long shoot on the indie Michael, where he stars as an ex-gay activist struggling with his sexuality. Most actors would spend their twilight hours heading to bed or studying the next day's script pages, but the idea of rest is almost anathema to a compulsive multitasker like Franco, who's instead taken that free time to call up Vulture to discuss pornography — specifically, the sadomasochistic kind.

Tara Reid

Now, that's a crop top!

Wearing a Michael Costello ensemble, Reid, 38, flaunted her cleavage in the plunging neckline crop top and midi skirt featuring a side slit.

To maintain her svelte figure, Reid stays active. "I run everyday, and I go swimming a lot," she told Us.

She also blasted haters who critiqued the star for being too skinny after her bikini pic on Instagram on Aug. 14 caused a stir. "I have a small body," she told Us. "It's in my DNA. I can't change it."

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress Designer Sarah Burton Gushes on Iconic Gown

Kate Middleton and Sarah Burton

Better late than never! More than three years after Kate Middleton married Prince William in a beautiful Alexander McQueen wedding dress, the designer behind the gown, Sarah Burton, is finally speaking about the experience.

"I know we live in a culture obsessed with fame, but I happen to believe privacy is a virtue, and the relationship I have with my clients is private," Burton, 40, explained to the New York Times' T Magazine. "Some people like to think I've been too shy or that I'm afraid to speak up about the happy experience I had creating the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, but I can tell you that is nonsense. I have never been a shrinking violet or a person who is ruled by fear."

Burton went on to discuss said "happy experience," giving details on all of the work that went into creating Middleton's now-iconic gown. On that momentous day in April 2011, Middleton, now 32, walked down the aisle in the long-sleeved V-neck confection with a stunning train and traditional lace veil.

"I loved making the dress, I loved adapting my ideas to suit the person and the occasion, and we put our hearts into it," she said. "I respect the intimate nature of that lovely project and I respect the friendships that were forged during it… an instinctive, intelligent, imaginative young woman's wish for a beautiful wedding dress — or any kind of dress — is the most natural thing in the world. I was honored to pick up the challenge and always will be."

While the gorgeous gown quickly sparked a slew of copycats and worship from fans and fashion critics alike, Burton told T she wasn't anticipating the frenzy.

"I had no idea it would be as big as it was," she explained. "Only the night before, seeing all the photographers outside the abbey, did I think, 'Oh, my God. This is massive.'"
