There’s no doubt that Nicole Kidman, who recently became a mom for the fourth time, is a gorgeous woman. There’s also no doubt that Nicole has touched up her face quite a bit over the years. As you flip through the gallery below, notice how her face seems to tighten up around the year 2000. Maybe homegirl got a facelift after seeing her slightly aging face in her 1999 Vogue spread?

And then there’s the occasional baggy spot on her face when everything else is tight enough to bounce a quarter off of. Usually when you see that it means that a lesser amount of Botox was injected into those droopy parts than in the rest of the face and the treatment has worn off.

Also, see that quirky dent in her upper lip in the “before” picture up top? Well, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. That probably means she’s been occasionally stuffing her lips with Restylane or another temporary filler.

There’s no shame in your plastic surgery game, Nicole, but don’t think we haven’t noticed.

Oh, beautiful Anderson Cooper, of course Harry Potter would love you.  You are a special brand of magic all by yourself.

Right, but remember how Daniel Radcliffe is starring in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying?  Anderson Cooper is going to be there too.  Well, he’s not going to physically be there – he’s playing the Narrator, which is just a recording – but his essence is going to be there, and could Broadway really handle more than that?

This is like a glorious blend of everything I find beautiful in this world: musical theatre, magic, and seriously attractive older dudes. The show opens on February 26th, so mark your calendars and don’t be surprised if the entire world crumbles under the weight of too much wonderful.

Ah Kristen Stewart. You’ve come so far from your early days of not giving a fuck, and look how much you’ve grown. You’ve finally begun to utilize the roach clip properly, so as not to singe off your eyebrows, and look how nicely they’ve grown in. You’ve left the battered Chucks at home and begun to don high-price stilettos in public more and more these days, and you don’t look like Bambi using those long, lanky legs to move around in them, either.

Girl, I’m so happy for you, and I cannot wait ’til all of this shitty Twilight publicity is over and you can go on to acting in movies that don’t facilitate the screaming, crying, and pulling of faces by young girls all over the world, ’cause man.  That shit’s really deterring.

On her selectivity on choosing roles:

“I choose things that are so overly ambitious, and if I can’t do stuff like that, I don’t want to be doing this. A compulsion absolutely fills you,” she says of finding a good part, and admits that she sometimes has difficulty letting go.

On finally putting Bella Swan to bed:

She feels the weight of portraying Bella Swan, “a character who is embedded in so many people’s psyches at this point. It’s starting to enter my head a lot more than it used to because it’s at the end and it’s come such a long way. I just want the fans of the book to be happy.”

On fame in general, and how different things would be if she hadn’t gotten into acting:

“At that time [in early childhood] I just thought it was fun. I don’t think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I’d like to star in the play’.”

On how she’s so schmaht and currently reading a dozen books:

“Dave Cullen’s Columbine; Into the Wild author Jon Krakauer’s Under the Banner of Heaven, a study of radical Mormonism; and Anna Karenina.”

I know a lot of you guys thought for a long time that Kristen Stewart was fake and placating and overly dramatic, but I never thought so – I thought she was cool, level-headed, down to earth, and above all, TALENTED. And if this interview with Vogue doesn’t show you the same exact things, then boy, I don’t know what to tell you. I was never into Twilight, and oh, how funny – I’m still not – but I can’t wait to see what this girl’s going to do next.

Short of saying, ‘Nyah nyah, told you so,’ … Alright. Sorry. Here it comes. TOLD YOU SO!

Some are even saying that there’s a video involved, too, but fathoming the idea of Octomom live in black latex, brandishing a whip in live motion, is way too much for my yet-to-be-caffeinated brain to process this morning. It’s kind of like riding the carousel drunk at the boardwalk, and then getting off and eating chili dogs and paint thinner. Cannot. process.

If you were paying attention to yesterday’s link roundups, you’d have seen that Nadya Suleman, better known as the ‘Octomom,’ was ratted out by TMZ because she took the bait of monetary compensation and whipped a man-baby while dressed up as a dominatrix. Or mominatrix, if you’re into that sort of thing, which, apparently some are. There’s a market for everything, guys. I’ve been saying it for years.

Anyway, the photos totally grossed me out, and not even because the ‘baby’ she’s whipping has more stretch marks than Kate Gosselin used to, but because Octo’s kids are going to be so proud when then see these photos later in life. Alright. Even prouder, anyway.

But today’s million-dollar question – is the Octomom … hot?

In case you guys didn’t know, Miranda Kerr, who was impregnated by the revered seed of holy hotness Orlando Bloom, gave birth to a sweet, large baby boy on January 6th. Baby Flynn Bloom tipped the scales at almost ten pounds, which is just craziness, because Miranda was rumored to have delivered him vaginally. With no painkillers. OUCH. I mean, it’s not like Miranda is all that buxom and Orlando all that burly.

Looks like all that organic eating makes all the difference, guys.

Congrats to the little family to the birth of Flynn. I think he’s a keeper!
