George Clooney’s son is a giggly little guy.
In a recent interview with Extra, George went into detail about his twins with wife Amal — Alexander and Ella — explaining that they already have distinct character traits at four-months old.
Echoing earlier descriptions of his infants, the proud papa shared, “Ella is very elegant and dainty. She has these big beautiful eyes, she looks like Amal.”
Of Alexander — who “weighs three pounds more than his sister” — George said “ just a thug, he’s a fat little boy.”
After noting that he and his wife were “done!” having children, the 56-year-old actor...

Like most parents, George Clooney knows there’s a lot that can go wrong with raising kids.
“A lot of things make me nervous now with kids,” the new dad, 56, told Entertainment Tonight Canada at the Toronto International Film Festival. “What you want from your children is you want to make sure that they are compassionate and that they pay attention to the rest of the world.”
“They are going to be born into a life that, in some ways, is going to be very hectic,” Clooney continued. “But they’re also going to be born into a place of...

George and Amal Clooney put a lot of thought into the classic names they choose for their 3-month old twins Alexander and Ella — purposely moving away from the trend of unique baby names sweeping through Hollywood.
“ didn’t want to give them one of those ridiculous Hollywood names that don’t mean anything,” George told Paris Match in an interview published Saturday. “They’ll already have enough difficulty bearing the weight of their celebrity.”
“We figured these kids are going to be looked at a lot and watched and every move sort of judged, and we wanted them to at...

Laura Benanti’s hilarious impressions of Melania Trump on late-night television have taken a back seat these days as she cares for her newborn daughter, Ella Rose Benanti-Brown, with husband Patrick Brown. The Supergirl star gave birth to her first child on Valentine’s Day. It was a joyous moment for the couple who married in November 2015 and suffered a miscarriage the same year.
“[Motherhood]’s definitely challenging,” Benanti says over the phone to Et on her way to her daughter’s doctor appointment in New York City. “It’s funny, my friend Cheyenne Jackson and his husband have twins. We laugh because we used to text each other about jobs and [show] business and now we just text about baby poop. Like, ‘Are they pooping? How much are they pooping? When do they pooping?’ There’s a lot of poop talk.”

What makes a great actor great? When I watch a performance, there are certain things I look for, and the biggest of those things is whether or not the actor is making choices about their work. There are plenty of actors who get through a scene just fine and who deliver their lines nicely and who never ever connect beyond that for me because it doesn’t feel like they’re bringing anything to the process aside from their physical presence. There are certain actors, though, who I am immediately drawn to because you can see how they’re taking the raw material of the script and they’re putting it through their personal filter so that the end result is something the writer couldn’t have imagined, that the director couldn’t have asked for, and that the actor never would have reached on his own. Gene Wilder was one of those actors,...

On Sunday, Gene Wilder died of complications from Alzheimer's disease at the age of 83. His nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman confirmed the news in a statement. "He was eighty-three and passed holding our hands with the same tenderness and love he exhibited as long as I can remember. As our hands clutched and he performed one last breath, the music speaker, which was set to random, began to blare out one of his favorites: Ella Fitzgerald.

If you haven’t properly celebrated the single release of Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera‘s “Do What U Want” rendition, repent and get going. And look at this — Rihanna and Shakira are collaborating on a very soon-to-be-released duet too! This calls for a celebration: the 10 best female-female duets. It’s something of a slim genre, which is a shame, but these 10 efforts are nothing but certified classics.
10. Dionne Warwick and Celia Cruz, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”
Controversial first pick since we’re obviously familiar with the original, but Dionne’s revamp of the single best Hal David/Burt Bacharach composition with salsa queen Celia Cruz is lively and addictive. The song may tout San Jose, but to me this is the ideal track for a solo road trip to Palm Springs. Not that I’d know anything about it.
9. Beyonce and Shakira, “Beautiful Liar”

“What are you doing New Year’s Eve?” — is there any more romantic question? People do a lot of self-evaluating going into a new year, and if someone wants to spend that most hallowed of nights with you, you must be pretty special.

After last night's guys, three of which we think are definitely safe, "American Idol" brings us the girls. Let's get right to it, shall we?
Seacrest welcomes us again and the strange voice man introduces the judges. J.Lo has come as a disco ball, Randy has on a Cosby sweater and Steven Tyler is wearing the same thing from last night. He probably just slept backstage and rolled out for "Idol." (Yes, I know this is pre-taped, it's a joke, don't email me).
When the women are introduced, I am struck by just how much Asthton/Tatynisa, Julie/Pia and Haley/Kendra are the same person. Seriously, it's like Doppelgangland up in here. But let's get to the singing.
Here are the Top 12 performances, in our order of best to worst:
Definitely Advancing:
1. Pia Toscano: "I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders
This is a great song choice for her.
