Kirsten Dunst really seems to have matured in the past few years. She’s looking well put together and sober lately, where she’s had some serious fashion missteps in the past. In an appearance on Ellen yesterday, Kirsten was funny, self-deprecating and open. She told some funny stories and even got serious for a moment and spoke in general terms about battling depression. Kirsten went to rehab for “depression” in 2008, and insisted that it was not for “drug or alcohol abuse.” The way she explained it in 2008, she “was struggling,” and “had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself.” On Ellen, Kirsten said something similar about how fame kind of drained her, but that she was not really comfortable discussing her bout with depression. She was gracious and handled the subject well. Kirsten also said that she’ll do promotion for her films, but that she doesn’t go to events as she feels uncomfortable. She also admitted that she lives with her mom, and joked about having to brush cat litter out of her bed! I’m really warming to her. Here’s more:

On her career break
I definitely took a little bit of a break. Also, when you’re in your 20s you’ve got to figure things out and take a step back… it reinspired what I do.

On depression
It’s not something I don’t feel like totally comfortable talking about. It’s a very personal thing I dealt with.

On being sensitive in the business
As an actress, you’re supposed to be sensitive and vulnerable and have this side to you. But then you’re supposed to be like super sociable and ‘on’ and like, nice to everybody. That’s a weird dichotomy. It’s a lot to ask of a person. It’s not a normal thing.

On going to events
I avoid the red carpet as much as possible. You have to do it to promote your movies obviously, but you won’t see me at an event for the sake of it.

On living with her mom
I’m in New York. But right now I’m at my mom’s house… My mom, my grandma, my aunt’s there visiting and my cousins live there. Three generations of ladies and three cats. So things are really looking up for me.

On having the cat litter in her bedroom
I have the worst bedroom. Downstairs near the garage. I’m leaving the cat litter box out of there. Because there was like granules on my bed and when I got out of the shower, melting cat littler. It’s hard to keep clean.

That’s hysterical! She has a great attitude about living with her family. She probably has a house in LA too anyway. It sounds like she’s in such a good place in her life.

Ellen told Kirsten, who won best actress at Cannes this year, that she’ll probably get an Academy Award nomination for Melancholia. She also inevitably asked her about director Lars Von Trier’s Nazi comments that got him booted from the film festival. Kirsten explained “He was so nervous and he just got started on a tangent and then wouldn’t stop. So it was like watching your friend just put their foot in their mouth deeper and deeper and deeper. I was so embarrassed for him.” She also explained that Von Trier was trying to make a joke. “YouTube it, my face is actually pretty funny.”

Later on in the show, Ellen and Kirsten played Guesstures with the audience. It was funny as hell and Kirsten really rolled with it. Whatever she went through, she’s come out the other side and she’s better than ever. I’d love to see her in more films.

Yesterday we heard the news that Coldplay’s Chris Martin had hung up on a radio interview after they asked him too many questions about his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. This isn’t new for Chris, he has a history of throwing hissy fits when the conversation doesn’t focus on him and his precious music. After I reported on that story the interview was put online and I was able to hear how Chris got offended. The interviewers were complimentary and respectful the whole time. Up until Goop’s name was brought up he was handling it fine. Chris came across well at first and seemed humble and kind of decent. He said that he doesn’t feel like a rock star in his everyday life, and that he doesn’t think that Coldplay is one of the top bands of all time. Then they asked some innocuous questions about Gwyneth. They were all quite appropriate and not particularly personal but after the third one he let out a sigh and hung up. When Chris called back to the radio station following theaborted interview he claimed that there were too many questions being asked at once and that he didn’t know how to answer them, insisting that he wasn’t offended by any questions. However, it was clear from the interview that there were too many questions about Gwyneth. Chris knows that he can’t pull the diva act when Goop’s name is brought up during television interviews, though. On an upcoming appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show he deflected some of Ellen’s questions about Gwyneth with humor instead of hubris, and kind of referred to his bandmate as his life partner.

COLDPLAY will make their first appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday, October 27th. Ellen sits down with front man Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland. Ellen talks with Chris about how his wife Gwyneth Paltrow and reveals the longest relationship he has ever had is with Jonny. Plus, Coldplay will perform “Paradise” and “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” from their new album “Mylo Xyloto.”

Chris on his wife Gwyneth and the longest relationship he has ever had…
Ellen: You don’t talk about Gwyneth a lot?
Chris: No.
Ellen: But you have a great relationship and two precious kids. And we love Gwyneth. She’s been here many times.
Chris: She’s been a great beard for me now, for 10 years.
Ellen: Is that right? It’s not really a real relationship? She just pretends that she’s your wife.
Chris: Yeah, it’s hard to believe. (Laughing)
Ellen: I know that this is your first relationship…So, really before you were in a relationship with Gwyneth. You didn’t have a serious relationship at all? What was the longest relationship you were in before Gwyneth?
Chris: I think a lot of people like me and Jonny join bands because we were really not doing so well.
Ellen: With women?
Chris: …With anybody.
Jonny: I think the longest relationship we’ve had is together.
Chris: Yes.
Ellen: Which is how long now?
Jonny: About 14 years.
Ellen: 14 years. That’s amazing.
Chris: I don’t understand how you can forget our anniversary. It’s actually 15 years this week.

I just get the impression that Chris and Gwyneth are either separated or that they’re barely together for the kids. Chris has said before that he’s never had a real relationship before Gwyneth, and I think he’s bringing all that up now to kind of explain, in his douchey way, why they’re splitting. I just don’t buy that anyone is so private that they get actively mad when their wife’s name is brought up and can’t even talk about her at all, even in a roundabout way. It’s possible that he just doesn’t want her fame to overshadow his music career, but I also think he’s over her.

David Beckham posed as a Target employee testing out his cologne on unsuspecting shoppers during a bit shown on and arranged by the Ellen show. Off camera, Ellen directed David on what to say to the ladies who inevitably started surrounding him. He sprayed the cologne on his leg and had them sniff his knee. He told them his name was Ricky and that he was Australian. When one lady said he sounded like David Beckham, looked like him and must be him he answered “I wish. I’m not David Beckham, stop spreading rumors.”

Ellen got a little too bossy with David, but the result was funny. There were about 10 women clustered around him when Ellen had him call out to a random woman with a shopping cart who didn’t want to have anything to do with him. (That’s at 2:30) He started singing “if you stink, come and buy cologne,” although he first said “if you think,” because he didn’t understand what Ellen was telling him. Ellen made him spray everyone indiscriminately and she told him to tell one guy to steal the cologne. It got kind of dumb at the end but David was game for it.

I hate cologne and perfumes and I would have avoided this dude. Beckham really looked like a dorky sales guy acting crazy. I think it was the hat and the glasses that helped disguise his hotness. Plus let’s face it, even if a guy had Beckham’s body, face and accent, if he worked at Target and acted like that would you even give him the time of day?

Ashton Kutcher was on Ellen yesterday to promote Two and a Half Men, which premieres next Monday on CBS. I watched (scrolled through) the whole CBS fall preview show online to see if there were any clips from the upcoming season, but all they had were some promo videos that Ashton had recorded with the other two lead actors. (That’s at about 7:30 into this video.) They’re trying to keep the show under wraps, and are using shirtless Ashton to promote it.

In a promotional clip for his Ellen appearance (video above), Ashton stripped down to supposedly nothing and quipped that he was “going to do everything nude from now on” since the ad for Two and a Half Men, “Everything will be Revealed,” was supposedly getting a lot of attention. We couldn’t tell if Ashton was really showing his bits, since they were heavily pixelated. I’m sure he had on some flesh-toned underwear. The entire bit was kind of lame and underwhelming, and it made me grateful that I didn’t have to see Ashton’s junk. He’s superficially attractive, but the guy does not do it for me at all.

I was able to watch some clips from this interview online (they’re out of order, but you can see them here) The best part was when Ellen gave Ashton a candy-covered negligee and thong to give Demi for their sixth anniversary. (The sixth anniversary present is supposed to be candy.) Ashton tried to put them on and then started eating off the bust of the lingerie. He’s a goofball, and he’s the funniest when he’s acting like one and not trying to play it straight. As for the character and the plotline that he’ll be playing on Two and a Half Men, he was really vague and said he couldn’t reveal much.

“I think that there’s a lot of interest in what’s going to happen. I think that in a day and age when everything [is] shared all over the place all of the time, I think sometimes it’s really good to try and keep it a secret.

“I think there was a lot of drama about what was going to happen with Charlie and how they were going to introduce this new character. I can say that I’m playing an original character on the show. I’m not playing Charlie Harper… I think it’s been revealed that I am a billionaire Internet investor guy, but that’s all I can really say.”

TMZ pretty much already revealed how Charlie’s character is going to bite it, and we’ve heard that there’s a funeral for him and everything. It’s not like the news has been kept under wraps this whole time.

Ashton did bring a clip to show on Ellen, that’s at 5:00 into this video, but all you see is his naked back at the refrigerator and then he turns around and introduces himself as “Waldo.”

Then he joked that he’ll be nude a lot on the show.

“It feels so nice and breezy. I can’t be nude at my house, because my stepdaughters are there. So it’s like the only place I can be nude is at work and it’s great.”

They’re doing whatever they can to promote this show. I get it, and we’re repeating it so it’s working. I’ll watch the first episode, but if it’s the same as it was before it’s not like I’ll be watching it every week. It just was so hackneyed. I guess that’s perfect for Ashton.

Oh and Demi Moore, Ashton’s wife, recently tweeted a photo of her bare back. It may have been a homage to Ashton’s appearance on Two and a Half Men, or she may have been desperate for some attention and positive affirmation.

Christina Aguilera has that new singing competition reality show The Voice premiering tonight, and I’m sort-of looking forward to seeing it. The concept of a blind audition is interesting, and if they try to make it even somewhat more fast-paced that neverending Idol it could be fun. Plus, it’s hard to find shows I can watch with my six year-old that aren’t just for kids. I think that explains the popularity of Dancing With The Stars more than anything else.

Anyway as part of her new gig Christina has to talk about the fact that she’s been too drunk on several occasions to remember the words to the National Anthem, to walk properly, or to remember where she lives. She’s previously called her very public issues with drunkenness “hiccups” and explained that she just went through “a really hard divorce.” In an appearance on the Ellen show today, Christina expands on that theme. She doesn’t say that there’s no excuse for forgetting the lyrics during the most important US sporting event of the year to a song that celebrates national pride, she doesn’t say she’s sorry and embarrassed, she just offers a bunch of excuses and justifications as is typical for her.

Ellen: I saw you sing (at the Super Bowl)

Christina: That’s right, I did sing at the Super bowl.

Ellen: I saw it and didn’t see anything. Then it was this huge thing…then I felt stupid that maybe I didn’t know the lyrics.

Christina: I had been singing that song my entire life. I was the youngest anthem singer in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I sang for the “Steelers” when I was this big (as a child.)

Ellen: How old were you?

Christina: I think 7 or 8 years old. I would sing for them. I think had a moment where I was at the “Super bowl” at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the “Super bowl”…singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now. And then it was like, oh. That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question…In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics. It’s just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you that much stronger.

[From the Ellen Degeneres show, received via e-mail]

It’s all about Christina and how she feels and how she’s been labeled and is recovering from that after screwing up. We’re all judging her (read this earlier interview, she said people were judging) for being overwhelmed with national pride (in the form of some Jack Daniels) when she was just trying to do her job that she gets paid seven figures for. Well now Christina has another job to laugh about if (when) she shows up too blitzed to do it properly.

Also, would it kill her to cover up a little? She’s wearing lingerie in public again.

Pipsqueak Hayden Panettiere has been dating gorgeous hunk of a man and boxing great Wladimir Klitschko on and off for about two years. I’ve made it clear how I feel about her in the past, and how I think she is in no way deserving of Klitschko. It’s not that she’s not cute in a very adolescent way, it’s just that she seems insufferable both in interviews and in stories I’ve read about her. Anyway Hayden’s hot boyfriend is 6’6″ and she’s just 5’1″. In an appearance on Ellen yesterday, she explained that people come up to her and ask her all the time how she manages to have sex with Klitschko. She didn’t get into specifics but she said the question didn’t bother her, because of course the bitch is proud that she’s nailing the world’s (current)* greatest heavyweight boxing champion, who wouldn’t be?

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that aired today, the Scream 4 star revealed that people actually come up to her to ask how the 5-foot-1 actress and her 6-foot-6 boxer beau, Wladimir Klitschko, um…you know.

“He is quite a bit bigger than me,” Hayden said, when Ellen commented on the height differential. “I get the prudest people [to] come up to me, and they’re like,” she said, lowering her voice to a whisper, “‘Does it work?’”

“Yeah, it works. We find a way,” the 21-year-old actress said.

To which Ellen replied, “I know what you’re talking about and I’m in shock.”

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” Hayden insisted.

“People ask you that?” Ellen said, still apparently rather shocked.

“They do!” the one-time Heroes hero said. “And they’re very conservative people most of the time. They just have to know. Like have to know, ‘I just have to ask you this question!’”

Ellen called such questions “crazy and rude,” but Hayden replied with a wave of her hand, “I don’t mind it. I find it amusing.”

“Really?” Ellen wondered. “Well then, how does it work?”

[From E! Online]

Yes Hayden, now we’re all picturing you having sex with Klitschko. Mission accomplished. There are enough pictures of Hayden sitting on Klitschko’s lap to figure out how they work it out.

I guess she’s promoting Scream 4. I’ve only seen segments of the Scream movies and don’t really get their appeal. I watched the trailer though and I’m embarrassed to say it actually looks pretty good and that I want to see it now. It riffs on horror movie cliches but still manages to use them to entertain us. See, Hayden’s little story about how she gets to screw Klitschko served its purpose.

*I put in “current” because I don’t know much about sports and he could have been preceded by better boxers. According to wiki he “is historically the longest reigning Heavyweight Champion for the IBF, WBO & IBO Heavyweight Titles of both measurements of defenses and time.”

Ryan Phillippe appears on Ellen today to promote The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey, which is out next Friday. I think he plays some kind of sociopath to McConaughey’s grifter lawyer with a heart of gold. The trailer makes it look cheesy, but it could do well at the box office.

In today’s interview, Ellen asks Ryan about his lovelife and he’s noncommittal as usual. He says he’s dating, but it’s not like he’s going to mention Amanda Seyfried by name or say that he has a girlfriend. He also tells a very funny story about how his mom regularly reads the blogs and then calls him up and asks him why people call him a tool. His mom also had no clue what DILF meant and thought it was an insult!

On his love life
Ryan: I’m dating. Not nearly as veracious as the magazines like to make out. I am dating. Boos from audience
Ellen: Don’t give up. He’s dating. He’s not in a relationship. You can still snatch him away. What kind of qualities are you looking for in a woman?
Ryan: Sense of humor. I like a strong woman. I have three sisters and I have a daughter and I like individuality. I like a woman who’s self possessed. Who knows who she is. Who knows what she wants….

On his mom reading the blogs
Ellen: Do your parents pay attention to these things and call you up and say, “Are you dating these women?”
Ryan: They pay way too much attention. My mother, who recently had surgery, she’s not in the best of health. She’s recovering. She spends all day in front of the computer. Every other day or so, I’ll see her name come up on the caller ID and pre-emptily open my laptop knowing she’s going to want to address whatever rumor she has read recently. She also gets really, really upset. You know, sometimes they write some pretty negative stuff about you or in the comments they’ll say some mean things. She doesn’t like that. She’s always like, “Ryan, why are they calling you a tool? Why do they think you’re a jerk?” I’m like, “Ma, they say that about everybody!”

On people calling him a DILF
Ryan: And then she took particular umbrage with this. She said, “I always read in the comments that they call you a D.I.L.F.” She goes, “I don’t like that. I don’t know what that means but I don’t like. What is that Ryan?” And I go, “Well, actually Mom, that means I am a dad that they’d like to have sex with.” And then I hear my dad in the background, “Susan, did he tell you what a D.I.L.F is?” Laughs And she’s like, “Yes, it means they want to have sex with him.” Laughs
Ellen: So now she’s not so upset with that one anymore.
Ryan: I think she’s embraced D.I.L.F. [Laughs]

That was really cute and you can tell he cares about his mom and is trying to make sure she’s ok. Ryan was raised in Delaware and his mom ran a day care while his dad worked at DuPont. From what I can tell he had a working class upbringing.

People call Ryan a tool because he cheated on his then-wife, Reese Witherspoon, then gave several “poor me” interviews afterwards. (He continues to give self-pitying interviews to this day.) His behavior wasn’t extreme given some of the celebrity cheating stories since, but he definitely came out the bad guy. He never trash talked Reese however and has only shown her respect in his interviews and his statements about her.

Ryan proceeded to treat his jump off, Abbie Cornish, the same way he treated Reese. From most accounts he strung Abbie along and cheated on her too. (And he cheated on the next one we barely heard about.) Now he’s seeing Amanda Seyfried and he’s trying to keep it casual so he can keep his options open. He’s 36 and he spent his younger years, from 25 to 33, married with children. It makes sense that he wanted out of his marriage and is a commitment phobe, but he’s given us plenty of other reasons to call him a douche. I do give him credit for handling the gossip with humor and being nonchalant about it in this interview. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t get to him though. Maybe his mom has helped him realize the absurdity of some of it.

When I heard that Sister Wives was returning this Sunday I practically squealed. I know the concept of the show bugs a lot of people, but it’s fascinating to watch. The Brown family features patriarch Kody, 41, his four wives, his 13 biological children and 3 stepchildren from his newest marriage to his youngest wife, Robyn, 31. The last we heard of this family they were relocating from Lehi, Utah to Nevada, perhaps due to the fact that they’re under investigation in Utah for felony bigamy as the result of going public.

Kody and his wives make an appearance on Ellen today, and Ellen asks Kody if he ever gets his wives names mixed up. He admits that now that he’s added Robyn to the mix, he does. He was with his first three wives for 16 years before “marrying” Robyn, and she’s caused quite a bit of jealousy and hurt feelings among the other women despite her desire to fit in. It’s got to be worse if he’s calling the other women “Robyn.”

The Brown family also tells Ellen about making ends meet with 16 kids. Two out of three of the original wives worked out of the home, although first wife Meri lost her job in the mental health field after the reality show exposed her as a polygamist. Kody is in advertising sales. It’s unknown what they’re doing for work now that they’ve moved to Nevada, although they probably have more than enough to get by on now that they’re on television. I forsee a Kate Gosselin-style diva emerging among the wives (my vote is on Robyn) with the other wives struggling to keep up, getting makeovers, new clothes and nail tips.

On making ends meet
Ellen: Now, you’re in four houses with 16 kids. That is a lot. That’s costly.
Christine: It is. We cut corners. We use coupons. We don’t own a boat.
Robyn: Hand-me-downs.
Ellen: You don’t own a boat?
Kody: Our neighbors own boats.
Janelle: We do second hand stores. It’s hand-me-downs. Our cars are old.

On getting his wives names mixed up
Ellen: So you have different nights? Is that right?
Kody: Yes, it’s a schedule and we rotate through the schedule.
Ellen: So you have to drive to different houses all the time. Do you ever wake up in the night and bump in the wall because you’re going to the bathroom in the wrong house?
Kody: Wake up, “Where am I?” Laughs
Ellen: Because that must be confusing, right?
Kody: It’s actually not. Packing to come here took me four hours. Because it’s like, “Oh, my favorite socks are at Meri’s house.” And I was packing at Janelle’s.
Ellen: So, Janelle had you last? Laughs Well, you know what I mean because you’re in somebody’s house. Do you ever say the wrong name?
Kody: You know, it’s funny, I never did until Robyn came into the family and lately I’ve been slipping up a lot.
Robyn: It’s true. He can only remember three things at once.

Why Christine wanted to be Kody’s third wife
Ellen: And you’re the third wife?
Christine: Oh my gosh yes.
Ellen: What does that mean, “I want to be the third wife?”
Christine: I don’t want a guy around all the time. I didn’t want to marry a guy by himself. It sounded like too much work.

Meri’s response to criticism
Ellen: What do you say to that [criticism of their lifestyle)?
Meri: I just feel like we're all adults. Anybody, any of us, I feel like are free to do whatever we want if it's not hurting any one else. I think we should all be free to love who we want.

That’s not true that all their cars are old. Kody drives a new two seater convertible Lexus. Maybe he thinks he’s got to keep up appearances for his job, but it’s ridiculous that a dad with 16 kids would drive a car that only fits two people. He could have opted for a sporty sedan. Then again if he was the selfless type he never would have taken on four wives and constantly pressured all of them to have his children. That was probably a motivation for marrying Robyn – he wants even more kids and the other wives are just about tapped out.

Sister Wives airs on TLC this Sunday March 13 at 9/8 central.

Here are photos of Kody with his wives and children in order from newest to oldest. The first one below, Robyn, has her children from her first marriage but the rest are all Kody’s.

Matt Damon says so many nice things about his wife of nearly six years, Luciana, that you wonder if they ever fight. Like what’s life like at the Damon mansion in Miami? When Matt isn’t on set do they play happily with their kids during the day, marveling at the cute things they do and letting nannies change diapers? Do their evenings consist of sitting down to chef prepared gourmet meals and then retiring to their huge master suite to have kinky sex? I’m sure that’s just my fantasy and that life is still a pain in the ass for super rich married people who seem to be hot for each other, but it’s probably less of a pain.

On Ellen, Damon told the story of how he met his wife in Miami where he was somewhat accidentally filming that otherwise bad career move, Stuck on You. (He never names the film, which goes to show how much he thinks of it.) He almost didn’t go out that night, but then he reluctantly went to a bar, saw his wife working there across the room and the rest is history. It’s also a nice tie-in to promote his new movie, about fated romance vs. career, The Adjustment Bureau.

On turning 40 and “the big questions that weren’t answered when I turned 30″
Well I always hoped that I would meet someone that I wanted to spend my life with and start a family with and then that happened. But before that happens, you’re going, “I wonder if I’m ever going to meet somebody.” And then I met her and everything got easy after that.

On meeting his wife at the bar where she worked
I decided to do this movie with the Farrelly brothers in 2002. I met with them and we talked about it. I made the decision to do that which was a big decision. We were supposed to shoot in Hawaii and then the movie got moved to Miami. I had never really hung out in Miami. One night in the middle of the shoot, the crew, a couple guys, said, “We’re going to get a beer somewhere.” I said, “I’m not really into it.” They said, “Come on,” and kind of dragged me along. We ended up at a bar where my wife was the bartender. I literally saw her across a crowded room, literally, and eight years and four kids later, that’s my life. I don’t know how else our paths would’ve crossed if that didn’t happen. If all those things didn’t happen.

Damon’s interview with Ellen will air today and I can’t wait to watch it! The guy always cheers me up when I see him interviewed. He has a real joy for life and he’s genuinely funny. It’s also touching to hear a celebrity gush about their partner and seem to really mean it, too. I don’t get the impression that Damon has much to hide, but he’s also one of the best actors in the world so I could be surprised. He does play “angry” exceptionally well.

Vince Vaughn was on Ellen Friday to promote his upcoming “comedy,” The Dilemma. He spoke at length about his new wife, Kyla Weber, and their newborn daughter, Locklyn, who was born in late December. Vince called his wife “the best girl in the world” and explained that she came into his life at just the right time for him to settle down. It was quite sweet actually.

Vince: Let me tell you something. I met the best girl in the world. It gives you such a great purpose in your life. If I would’ve met her, I would’ve done it a long time ago so I’m very, very happy.
Ellen: I agree with you. You need to meet that one right person.
Vince: It’s being ready for that too. And sometimes, in our industry, well, I speak for myself, maybe that’s an excuse but you don’t mature always at the same time so if I was very fortunate that when I got ready and was open to that, then that person came into my life
Ellen: So maybe if you would’ve met her earlier, then it wouldn’t have worked out. So you met her at exactly the right time.
Vince: Exactly. You have to be ready to receive that. No question.
Ellen: So you have the little baby. Were you in the delivery room when she was born?
Vince: I was.
Ellen: What’s her name?
Vince: Her name is Locklynn.
Ellen: We should start calling her by her name and not “the baby.”
Vince: She’ll have to learn. If I just call her “Baby” then she’ll love the movie “Dirty Dancing” but she won’t know her proper name. No one puts her in a corner. Laughs

[From The Ellen Degeneres show]

It’s so nice when a celebrity reveals how special and meaningful their partner is to them, especially when it’s unexpected.

Showbiz Spy has more from Vince about the birth of his daughter, and he said that he was crying and was an “emotional wreck.” In in earlier interview, Vince enthused about the first time he went to a pediatrician appointment with his wife and their daughter, saying that they were “going to an appointment as a family. It’s just a great feeling.”

I never thought we’d hear such personal details from Vaughn, because he just doesn’t seem the type to share that sort of thing. It’s clear that marriage and fatherhood have changed him – for now at least. Is it super bitchy to say that it will get old soon enough?
