Harper Beckham Named Most Stylish Celebrity Kid


If Harper Beckham is already winning best dressed awards at two-years-old, we'd say she has a very promising fashion future ahead of her.
Start-Rite shoes conducted a poll asking moms to vote for who they thought was the most stylish celebrity kid, and the results are in: Harper took top honors, beating out all her older brothers for the title.
Harper's 15-year old brother, Brooklyn Beckham was right behind her, coming in second place, and 11-year-old Romeo Beckham came in third. But don't worry, Cruz Beckham, nine-years-old, also placed! He trailed his siblings just a bit, coming in sixth.
We'd say that's a clean sweep for the Beckham family! But it's really not surprising that everyone finds Harper so impeccably dressed, even at two-years-old. For one, she comes from a family that is so good-looking that just the sight of them makes our eyes hurt. Plus, Harper has sat front row at more fashion shows before her third birthday than most people will in their entire lives.
Also, her older brothers already have impressive fashion careers. Brooklyn just made his modeling debut on the cover of Man About Town magazine, and Romeo has already been in a Burberry ad campaign.
So who else did Harper beat out for the title of most stylish tot? Suri Cruise came in fourth place, just below the three Beckhams. Then there was Willow Smith, who came in fifth, and Ava Klass (daughter of singer Myleene Klass) came in seventh.
Maddox Jolie-Pitt came in eighth and Blue Ivy Carter snagged the number nine spot. Finally, Maddox's younger sister Shiloh Jolie-Pitt rounded out the top ten list.
We'd say all of these kids are equally stylish beyond their years. But, then again, they do have the advantage of having famous parents and some pretty incredible genes.



Prince George Joins Kate Middleton, Prince William for New Zealand Playgroup on Royal Tour


Best royal playdate ever! Prince George continued his reign of cuteness on Wednesday, April 9, when he attended his first official overseas engagement with Kate Middleton and Prince William in Wellington, New Zealand. Looking his usual adorable self, the 8-month-old heir to the British throne joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Government House for a baby playgroup coordinated by the parent support organization Plunket.
The event is likely the first time baby George has played with a large group of infants, but he and his parents seemed right at home. Clad in navy "sailboat-smocked" dungaree shorts from Rachel Riley and a white babygro, the little prince made the rounds with the Duchess, 32, who looked chic in a patterned Tory Burch dress and black heels. At one point, George briefly grabbed the hand of a little girl in a polka-dot onesie. "He looked really happy and was kicking his legs," an onlooker tells , noting that he was especially enthralled by the toys.

The scene was much busier and more chaotic than Princess Diana's Government House stop back in 1983. During that tour, she and Prince Charles were photographed playing with a then-10-month-old Prince William on the picturesque lawn of New Zealand's other Government House in Auckland. Prince George's stop, conversely, took place in the Blundell Room and  was overflowing with kids and toys. "It's madness," the Duke quipped to one of the other parents. "There are babies everywhere!"

Prior to the engagement, 10 families were chosen by Plunket to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Each has a baby who was born within a few weeks of Prince George's birthday on July 22, 2013. Among the lucky families are a gay couple and their young daughter, a single mother and her son, and a man whose daughter will be the fourth generation of his family to meet a royal visitor.
"The parents are a spread of all the communities in New Zealand, including Maoris, Samoans, people of Chinese descent, and gay couples," Plunket president Tristine Clark explained. "This is a very multicultural country, and we wanted the Duke and Duchess to meet people from all backgrounds."

One thing they have in common? Like Prince William and Duchess Catherine, they are all first-time parents. "We've been through the sleepless nights, and we can talk to them about our experiences," 29-year-old tax accountant Kate Bainbridge explained. (Bainbridge and husband Jarrid, 32, welcomed daughter Sophie 11 days before Prince George's birth.) "It should be quite easy to chat with them," she said.
Added 40-year-old Philip Gray, whose wife Alana, 31, gave birth to baby Lily last July 16: "The good thing about kids is that they're unpredictable, so I'm sure there will be a lot of laughter. Babies are a great ice-breaker."
Gray also noted that his family has a history of royal encounters; his grandfather met Queen Elizabeth II when he was serving with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and his father met Prince William's dad, Charles, Prince of Wales. "Now I'm meeting the next two generations down," he said. "Maybe our daughter will meet Prince George's children one day."

For others, like single mom Tui Funaki, 30, the royal visit is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. "I'm a little bit nervous," Funaki admitted. "But I'm just going to be myself and see what happens." She joked, too, that her son Levi is about the same size as Prince George. "They're both big boys," the former hotel chef quipped.
The Royal New Zealand Plunket Society, known more commonly as just Plunket, was founded in 1907 by pediatrician Sir Frederic Truby King. Today, the nonprofit offers families free childcare advice, home visits, and services such as car seat rentals.



Miley Cyrus Thought She'd Die Without Liam Hemsworth


Miley Cyrus opens up about her battle with depression and on how she used to think she'd die without a boyfriend in the new issue of Elle magazine.
The 21-year-old who cancelled her concert in Charlotte last night due to sickness, told the fashion mag that being "free of" Disney and ex Liam Hemsworth has made her a stronger person.
The May issue of the fashion magazine features Miley in a sequined Marc Jacobs ensemble and highlights the "Wrecking Ball" singer's emotional growth and maturity in the last few years of her tumultuous personal life.
"When I went through a really intense breakup, you know, I was engaged, and when I was with him or when I was on Disney, the thing that gave me the most anxiety was not knowing what to do with myself when Disney wasn’t there to carry me anymore or if I didn’t have him. And now I’m free of both of those things, and I’m fine. Like, I lay in bed at night by myself and I’m totally okay, and that’s so much stronger than the person three years ago, who would have thought they would have died if they didn’t have a boyfriend," Cyrus reveals.
Despite criticism for not being a good role model, Miley says she feels a connection to her fans that motivates her. "I have guys and girls that come out, and they’re like, ‘The only reason I’m able to admit that I’m gay is because you’ve made me feel like that’s okay.’ That is so intense, because that is a part of this generation, it wasn’t always accepted, and I feel like I am a big part of that change. Or they know that I’ve struggled with depression, and that helped them get over theirs. That gives me a big purpose, a reason to wake up in the morning that’s bigger than to put on my f*cking feathers and my little outfits.



Simon Cowell Says Affair With Best Friend's Wife Kind of "Just Happened"


In a recent interview with The MirrorSimon Cowell describes his affair with his best friend's wife, Lauren Silverman, as how most of us would describe stumbling into a Taco Bell after midnight and ordering $30 worth of burritos: "It just happened."
The former American Idol judge famously made headlines July 2013 when news broke that he had impregnated the British socialite while she was still married to Andrew Silverman. The tryst resulted in the birth of Cowell's first child, Eric, and the 54-year-old now tells the publication that "in a weird way, I probably needed that."
"You can start to live a slightly abnormal life and there is no question of doubt I was heading down that path," he says, explaining that he had been depressed and stressed about the declining popularity of his singing competition show, The X Factor, in the United States.
"Did a doctor say I was depressed? Yeah. I mean I knew it myself,” he says. "You are always looking for the next high from the show and then actually if you haven’t got anyone to share it with per se, or if you haven’t got a family around you, you can go a bit nuts."
Though Cowell is now a happy man as a father, he does feel kind of guilty about getting romantically involved with a married woman. Lauren have since parted ways with Andrew.
“I regret that part,” he says. "In this situation you are not going to come out of this well because of the circumstances."
"It is not something I am proud of or wanted to happen in terms of hurting anyone," he continues. You have to deal with it and man up to it. You have to accept the responsibility and the criticism. All I can say is, my advice to you is if it happens to you, you just have to deal with it a day at a time and own up to your responsibilities."
Cowell, who's currently still dating his baby mama, adds that his life has drastically transformed since welcoming his son. 
"My life has changed, but I am probably more focused on what I am doing now than I was a year ago. Maybe because it puts things in perspective having two people in my life who I am responsible for," he explains. "The great thing about Lauren is she loves what I do, so she sits in if I am watching Britain’s Got Talent for example, and she has got a good opinion. And I seem to have got my mojo back again."
