Alyssa Milano Shares Intimate Breastfeeding Photo

Celebrities often give peeks into their private lives on social media, posting selfies or shots on set or in their closets. On Monday, actress Alyssa Milano posted an especially personal photo on Instagram, in which she is shown breastfeeding her almost eight-week old daughter, Elizabella, who was born on September 4. “Ah, the joy of suckling!” Milano captioned the touching photo, quoting author Milan Kundera’s “Life of Elsewhere. “She lovingly watched the fishlike motions of the toothless mouth and she imagined that with her milk there flowed into her little sone her deepest thoughts, concepts, and dreams.” The black-and-white snapshot was met with overwhelming support from fans, receiving more than 20,000 likes. “Thank you for being bold and showing that breastfeeding is normal, and it’s ok to do it!” writes awilliams0415. “This makes me want another baby!” says kellogs_78. And, from apadilla2824, “Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Nursing is a beautiful thing! 9 months in and love the bond. You are a great example for others out there.” The 41-year-old actress, who also has a three-year-old son Milo with husband David Bugliari, has fully embraced motherhood, tweeting about the difficulty of working out after giving birth (“First time working out since having the baby (4 weeks ago). Dear lord. Everything hurts.”) and the pains of pumping (“The breast pump needs to be totally reinvented. Something less primitive and more innovative.”). On September 30, she announced on her website that she is leaving her starring role in the TV drama Mistresses because filming was relocated from L.A. to Canada. “It’s with a heavy heart that I have decided that I can’t relocate,” she said. “I have two babies under 4. Being a mother and wife comes first and I just cannot uproot my children and separate the family by moving away.” Milano is not the first celebrity to publicly share a breastfeeding photo. In July, actress Jaime King posted a photo in which she is nursing her son in bed. “I feel like now that I’m a mother, I realize that there’s a huge schism out there; that women feel judged because of what they choose to do and how they choose to feed their child. Why should we hide it?” she told People. In December 2013, supermodel Gisele Bundchen Instagrammed a photo with the hashtag #multitasking, pictured simultaneously getting her hair, nails and makeup done while nursing her daughter Vivian. And for her September Glamour cover shoot, new mom Olivia Wilde posed in heels and a designer dress while nursing son Otis. “Being shown with Otis is so perfect because any portrait of me right now isn’t complete without my identity as a mother being part of that. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing. I don’t know, now it feels like Otis should always be on my breast,” she told the magazine.

Renee Zellweger Plastic Surgery 2014 News

Renee Zellweger has caused a stir and prompted plastic surgery rumors, not simply because Zellweger looks like she’s had work done, but also because Renee looks so different – like another person – from her normal appearance. The plastic surgeon expert Dr. Drew Ordon from The Doctors pointed out an incision he spotted on Zellweger’s forehead in a photo, reports The Inquisitr. Indeed, the biggest shock about the change in the actress’ appearance can be witnessed by taking a stroll through her red carpet photos during the past few years. “Renee Zellweger attends the 29th Annual Fashion Group International Night Of Stars on October 25, 2012,” reads the description of the first photo of Zellweger at the top left, wherein Renee looks most like fans remember her from roles like Jerry Maguire and Bridget Joness’ Diary. Older, sure, but still more like herself, Renee Zellweger.

By March 10, 2014, Renee Zellweger still had hints of her recognizable self during an appearance in San Francisco, California. After that point in time, however, Renee began to look more unlike herself, with Zellweger causing the biggest stir upon attending the 2014 ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards on October 20, 2014, in Beverly Hills, California. With no windswept hair in her face and plenty of close-up shots on Renee, the internet finally took notice of Zellweger. Has Renee Zellweger had plastic surgery, Botox – or both? SF Gate asked expert plastic surgeons like Dr. Carolyn Chang out of San Francisco to weigh in on Renee’s changed appearance. Dr. Chang did not treat Renee Zellweger, though she agrees that Renee has become the poster child of the results that can occur when one changes a feature on the face in such a dramatic fashion that they no longer look like themselves. “There’s no question this is surgical,” San Francisco-based Dr. Seth Matarasso said, suspecting – like most medical experts weighing in on Renee’s changed face – that Zellweger has likely had plastic surgery on her eyes, a brow lift, Botox, and fillers. Avoiding Renee Zellweger results the biggest interest in the shocking change to Zellweger results from people who simply don’t want to make the same mistake Renee has made. While Zellweger won’t cop to any plastic surgery as the blame for this drastic change, experts claim the nipping and tucking is obvious. So while Renee Zellweger might spew the line that she’s glad folks think she looks different, as reported by the Daily Mail, fans would’ve been happier seeing the 45-year-old Renee Zellweger face they’re used to viewing.

Halle Berry Talks Olivier Martinez, French Lingerie, and Aging in Hollywood

“I have definitely changed as a result of being married to a French husband,” says the actress Halle Berry referring to actor Olivier Martinez. “French women would not put their sweats on and run out to the market. So I care more about what I wear out of the house, because if not, he calls me out on it.” Berry believes that Parisian fixation on always looking your best includes what’s underneath. “They put a lot of energy into their outerwear, but also their underwear,” she says. “They’re not going to get caught in an emergency room without being prepared.”

So, after discovering the lingerie brand Scandale Paris while ambling through the streets of France with Martinez one day, Berry’s entrepreneurial instincts kicked in. “I thought, who can really afford expensive underwear?” she says. She decided to help to relaunch the 82-year-old luxury line, but at prices that won't break the bank. She also recalled a crucial life lesson her mom taught her: always wear a good bra, or gravity will show no mercy. “She said if I don’t want my boobs to hit my knees by the time I’m 30, always wear a bra, even to bed,” Berry says. And at 48 years old, Berry knows a good bra when she sees one. The 10-piece collection will feature items ranging from $7 to $18 and debuts exclusively at Target today, marking a turning point for Halle Berry, the businesswoman. Like most stars of her wattage, she’s played the role of what she calls a “dancing bear,” endorsing products like Revlon and lending her name to sell perfume, while never having control over what she was hawking to consumers. But Berry, who’s a co-executive producer alongside Steven Spielberg on her NBC sci-fi drama Extant, is getting used to being in charge.

As a co-owner of Scandale Paris, Berry gets a say in both the looks of the pieces — that include bras and panties in black and nude lace — and the low pricing, which was an essential component for a woman who hasn’t forgotten her humble Cleveland beginnings. But does Berry, who memorably undressed in movies like Swordfish and Monster’s Ball, think her status as a sex symbol will help sell underwear? “I don’t think I’m using my sex symbol image, if that’s what you want to call it, to sell the line. I’m not the model, so no I’m not trying to use that part of me at all,” she says emphatically.

Berry wants to develop Scandale Paris into a global brand, a path carved out by other actresses like Jessica Alba, whose startup The Honest Co. — a line of socially conscious baby products — was recently valued at $1 billion. And while acting is still Berry’s main source of income and what she loves to do (Extant was just picked up for a second season) she is acutely aware of Hollywood’s cold tendency to turn its back on aging stars. “I think both actors and actresses face this,” she says. “It’s not just women. As an actor you face having to age and redefine yourself. The roles you were able to play before, you can’t play anymore. So you have to adapt and play a different role. And as actresses, we need to accept that we’re not always going to be the sexy ingenue, but hopefully we get better with age.”

Berry just arrived in New Orleans, where she’ll shoot Kidnap, a self-explanatory thriller about a mother who taps into her inner action hero to rescue her son from some very bad folks. Berry has real-life experience protecting her child from seedy characters. Last year, she appeared alongside Jennifer Garner in front of California lawmakers to help impose stricter laws against paparazzi who harass the children of celebrities. Berry says that since Senate Bill 606 passed, her 6-year-old daughter Nahla (with model Gabriel Aubry) has had some of her childhood freedoms restored. “My daughter is less frightened to be in this world,” she says.

Being a famous mother (she also has a 1-year-old son, Maceo, with Martinez) comes with its own set of unique challenges. Like, what do you tell your daughter when she sees mommy on the cover of a magazine? “That confused her,” Berry says about the time he had that exact experience with Nahla. “She was like, Mommy, is that you?” And how do you explain that mommy is sometimes a superhero who controls the weather? “She hasn’t seen any of my movies, so she doesn’t quite understand what I do for a living,” Berry says. “The beauty of our lifestyle is my daughter doesn’t see me as any different than anyone else. I try very hard to be like other mothers.”

Other mothers, however, don’t have an Academy Award for Best Actress sitting on their bookshelf. Halle Berry has been famous longer than she hasn’t, and she’s made peace with the fact that her private life isn’t really that private. “I’ve learned that I can’t care about what people say about me because caring is too stressful and too hurtful,” she says. “It’s all just fodder and nonsense,” before reconsidering that her new role as an executive might mean that ugly incidents like a 2012 fight between Martinez and Aubry might affect her bottom line. “It can start to matter and affect you when you think about being a brand. People want know that they can trust you. But I’m happy to say none of the negative things that come from those people hiding behind their computers — I call them the haters — have permeated me through my career.”

For someone as outspoken as Halle Berry — she’s been involved in over a dozen charities and most recently fought hunger alongside Michael Kors — it’s been a mystery why she’s stayed off social media while plenty of her peers have used it to amplify their voices in a deafening media landscape. She says that’s going to change. “I’m sitting back and trying to figure out how I can be a part of social media,” she says. “It’s my children’s world and I want to be of it and with them. It’s about embracing change and evolution and it’s where the world is going, so I know that I need to be a part of it.”

Mindy Kaling Got Mistaken For Malala Yousafzai

Mindy got mistaken for the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner. Everyone gets mistaken for someone else at some point, but for Mindy Kaling, this is a real stretch. The Mindy Project showrunner and star, 35, was mistaken for the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner, 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai. When Mindy, 35, was with a New York Times reporter at the Trump SoHo hotel in New York earlier this month, a man reportedly said to her while tipsy, "Congratulations on your Nobel Prize." He also "expressed wonder at how well she recovered from Taliban gunshots." Two years ago, Malala was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in Pakistan for insisting that girls have the right to an education. Her activism efforts have inspired the world. Mindy was reportedly left speechless after the mix-up. She later said to the reporter, "Did he really think I’m Malala?" She got a kick out of the situation and further questioned, "And that if I were, I'd be at the Boom Boom Room?” At the end of the day, Mindy found it to be a compliment, saying, "That’s the best thing that’s happened all night.”
