Ellie Kemper Is Pregnant With Baby No. 2. The "Unbreakable" Ellie Kemper is embarking on motherhood once again! The actress, who famously starred in Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is expecting her second child with husband Michael Koman, her rep confirms to E! News. She and Michael are already parents to their 2-year-old son James Miller Koman. Speculation that The Office alum could be pregnant first sparked last week when her personal stylist, Jessica Paster, described Ellie as a "beautiful mommy to be" on Instagram. Paster had styled Ellie in a red snakeskin dress by The Kooples for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt event. "You ace it every time, Jess!!!" the 39-year-old star commented on the post. Ellie gave birth to her first bundle of joy in Aug. 2016. During an appearance on The Late Show, she revealed how motherhood has impacted her day-to-day by saying, "Ever since becoming a mother, I thought that I would become more mature with this greater responsibility. But I go to bed at 7:30, and usually I've eaten dinner by 5." And during the 2017 Emmys, the proud mama joked to E!'s Giuliana Rancic that James had unusual strength for a 14-month-old. "He is so strong," she dished. "One day I'll show you a picture of his biceps, which are unusually strong... I'll text it to you later. Even in the ultrasound we saw the quadriceps... It wasn't human. He's so strong." Kemper tied the knot to her writer beau in New York City back in 2012 during an intimate ceremony attended by her A-list gal pals, including Kristen Wiig and Mindy Kaling. Congratulations, Ellie!

Zoe Kravitz's Story of How She Met Fiance Karl Glusman Is Hilarious and Relatable. When Zo Kravitz met her fiance Karl Glusman, it wasn't exactly love at first sight. The 30-year-old actress told the tale in the July 2019 issue of British Vogue. Like many couples, Kravitz and Glusman met through a mutual friend. "I love that it wasn't on an app and that it wasn't on a movie set," she told the magazine. "My friend knew that I wanted to meet someone not even to get serious, I think just to get laid, to be completely honest with you and he brought Karl." While the Big Little Lies star immediately felt a spark, she initially thought Glusman didn't feel the same way. "I instantly felt something then he turned around and started talking to the blonde girl next to him and I was like, 'Wait, what?," she recalled. "But he later told me that he was just nervous." According to Rolling Stone, the two then made out at an after-party at her place and soon moved in together. Fast-forward a few years, and they're getting ready to tie the knot later this month. Glusman proposed to his leading lady in their living room in February 2018. "I was in sweatpants," Kravitz told Rolling Stone after keeping her engagement a secret for eight months. "I think I was a little drunk." Her main man set the mood by lighting some candles and playing some music by Nina Simone. After giving her a squeeze, he got down on one knee and presented her with her dream ring. "He nailed it," she told the publication at the time. With a wedding and new season of her HBO hit on the way, it certainly is a busy time for Kravitz. The actress also said she'd like to grow her famous family but "not anytime soon." To read her full interview, check out the new issue of British Vogue -- on newsstands Friday, June 7. (Eonline)
Christina Aguilera Says the Story Demi Lovato Shared With Her Keeps Her Going On Her "Worst Days." It just "keeps gettin' better" for Christina Aguilera. The 38-year-old superstar recently kicked off her highly-anticipated Las Vegas show, Christina Aguilera: The Xperience. Among one of the first guests to attend on opening night, none other than Demi Lovato. Over the weekend, the two snapped selfies at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. And while the moment was "incredible," as Xtina put it, she also revealed the "amazing" story the 26-year-old singer shared with her. "Knowing that she grew up on my music and was a big fan... she told me a story where she came to one of my concerts and she turned around in the audience and pretended it was her concert," Christina told E! News of Demi's experience at her Back to Basics tour. "It's an amazing story and I love hearing things like that." She continued, "Having those moments, sharing stories like that and hearing them is truly what keeps me going on my worst days." Fans of the two musicians will know that they've collaborated before. For Aguilera's 2018 Liberation album, Lovato was featured on the track "Fall in Line." Despite working with her before, the "Confident" singer most certainly documented the moment she met "the queen herself. "The f--king queen herself," Lovato wrote on Instagram. "A PERFECT, perfect show... couldn't believe it was opening night because it was so smooth, flawless and sounded incredible. I was entertained the entire time and was so bummed when it was over until I was reunited with this beauty." For Xtina, this is the kind of reaction that melts her heart. "Knowing that we are touching people here, we're moving music along and helping inspire other people" is what makes it all worth it. What's more? The 38-year-old star is quite literally helping others in a significant way. The "Fighter" singer shared with E! that she's donating a portion of the ticket sales to the women's shelter, Shade Tree. "That is something that's extremely close to my heart because I did grow up in a very chaotic household where there was a lot of domestic violence." She added, "I grew up around it and it shaped me for who I am." By doing this, she explained that she wants to "be there for women who are struggling to find their own voice" and give them a "safe space." "Hopefully, this helps and gives nod to trying to make a wrong a right." (Eonline)
Catt Sadler is opening up about her emotional 2017 exit from E!, telling Us Weekly that she was nervous to leave her workplace of 12 years. "Of course I was scared," she exclusively told Us during the Shiseido Malibu Beach House luncheon to celebrate the launch of her podcast, "NAKED," on Sunday, June 2. "The unknown is scary. It requires a lot of courage and ... it was all very much unknown. There were no promises on how it would all shape out, but you have to bet on yourself, you have to invest in yourself, you have to believe in yourself, and then you have to be prepared to build." "I mean, it didn't happen overnight," Sadler, 44, said of her second act. "I've been working on this podcast for nine months. I've been launching a YouTube channel, I have a TV show being developed. It does take time, so there is a real patience required with all of that also. [I had] some concern over, of course, paying my bills and feeding my children. It's a lot of pressure that is on my shoulders, as I'm sure many women and moms can relate to, but you have to believe, and I've kept the faith, and it's all been going my way, so I'm very appreciative." Sadler announced her exit from the cable network in December 2017 after it was revealed that her E! News cohost Jason Kennedy was making "double" her salary. In the wake of that revelation, Sadler got support from some of Hollywood's biggest stars. "Jennifer Lawrence posted on her Facebook page about my story," Sadler told Us. "For someone who doesn't really use social media and her wanting to use her voice for this cause, you know, I'll remember that forever." "It was so unexpected," the TV personality said of the A-list support. "I really didn't expect that, truthfully. So when I did, I felt so supported. I felt like, 'Oh, my gosh. Sisterhood really does exist.' Amy Schumer, I think, started the ball rolling by posting on her Instagram. You know, she was a fan. She watched E!, she knew who was doing what and it wasn't fair, so by then speaking up, it was helpful in supporting my position and my take on things, of course." Sadler also told Us her experience is just symbolic of an ongoing cultural conversation. "It's not just my story, it's not just one woman's story, it's not a singular story," she said. "This is the story of so many women across all industries and all walks of life who are being underpaid, so the fact that I could be used as kind of a ... symbol to keep the conversation going or even start a conversation -- I feel incredibly humbled." The first episode of "NAKED" comes out on Thursday, June 6. (US Weekly)
Abby Lee Miller's spent enough time behind bars to write a celeb prison survival guide -- so Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin might wanna pay close attention here. Abby was on "TMZ Live" Monday for the first time since she was sentenced to 1 year in prison after her conviction for bankruptcy fraud. She got out in March 2018 after serving 8 months ... so we asked her what Felicity -- who already pled guilty -- should expect on the inside. Abby admits being a celebrity had its benefits for her -- and says inmates ate up her Hollywood stories, and she suspects they'd do the same for Felicity. The downside of fame while in prison? Abby says it's the corrections officers, and it's a major downside ... based on her experience. Watch, you have to see her vivid description of one particular run-in. As you know, prosecutors want Felicity -- and also Lori, if she's convicted -- to do hard time for their role in the college admissions scandal. Of course, it's not like either woman would end up in a maximum-security prison. Then again ... neither was Abby, and her experience is memorable, to say the least. (TMZ)

If Urias doesn't keep his nose clean for a year, the City Attorney's Office reserves the right to prosecute him on this case. As we reported ... Urias was arrested last month in L.A. after witnesses saw him getting into an argument with a woman, allegedly shoving her around.
