With Charlie Hunnam now out there talking to the press and touting the "tangible chemistry" he felt with co-star Dakota Johnson during their test read for Fifty Shades of Grey, fans are getting antsy to see and hopefully believe that the two have palpable sexual tension.

Of course, for months before we knew who would be cast, fans were making trailers that tested the chemistry between various hopeful Christians and Anas ... Now, obviously someone has already made one featuring Charlie and Dakota! And it's definitely a tease. Check it out. But be warned it's probably NSFW!

All right, so they're both blonde in the clip, which we can pretty much bet won't be the case ... Well, at least for Dakota, who is expected to go brunette a la Anastasia. And I'm sure Charlie won't have long-ish hair as he does here. (Except maybe when Christian has that breakdown after Ana leaves him and he lets himself get all scruffy and raggedy?) But still, pretty nice mashup of some of the actors' sexiest scenes, giving us a taste of what we can expect! 'Course the real deal trailer will be much more telling ... But rumor has it we'll have to wait until winter -- maybe during the Super Bowl? -- to get the first official teaser trailer.

In the meantime, I'm sure more fan trailers featuring the legit leads will crop up. Even more generic (albeit very profesh-looking!) ones are fun to watch! Like this one ...

What do you think about the Charlie-Dakota fan trailer?

A Drink a Day Before First Pregnancy Strongly Linked to Breast Cancer in Major New Study

dinsdag 3 september 2013

by Kiri Blakeley 2 hours ago

I wish that all of these studies linking cancer and alcohol consumption had come out when I was in college. Not that I necessarily would have put down my wine cooler and read them. But, one can always imagine, right? Still, it seems like every time you turn around now, someone is telling you how bad drinking is for you. Can't we go back to that time when wine was supposed to make you live forever? What happened to that? That was fun, right? But anyway, we're in the downer years for booze -- when pretty much any drop of the stuff is going to send you into a premature grave. A new major study links alcohol consumption to breast cancer.

According to the study, drinking just one alcoholic drink a day -- one glass of wine after work; one beer with dinner; one shot of tequila before you get into bed (we all do that, right?) -- can increase your chances of getting breast cancer. Delayed childbearing can also increase your breast cancer risk. So you ladies who opted out of childrearing to party -- here's your comeuppance! I kid, I kid, but these studies are like after us, eh?!

Anyhoo, this research is the first study to concentrate on those drinking years between first menstruation and first pregnancy -- probably the time when most women drank the most. Except for those moms who began drinking like fish to ease the stress of motherhood. But don't worry, your bummer study will come at some later date.

These years are, of course, the drinking years for a lot of us -- high school and college. Your risk increased 11 percent for every six drinks per week. Which seems like a lot of breast cancer!

Researchers seem to think that breast tissue is more susceptible to environmental risk factors like alcohol before pregnancy -- because pregnancy causes cellular changes that make breast tissue less susceptible to cancer.

Scarily, a woman's lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is one in eight. That's a pretty big chance! Which apparently increases if you were a big drinker in your non-pregnancy years. Or even a moderate drinker. I mean, most women I knew in my teens and 20s didn't drink one drink a day -- but they certainly made up for it on the weekends!

The study concludes that women who haven't yet had their first pregnancy should limit their alcohol consumption to less than one drink a day.

Could the "healthy" beer a day habit my grandmother had for decades have contributed to her breast cancer? Hmmm. Hey, let's go back to that time when one drink a day was just fiiiiiine. 'Memba that?

Are you feeling as doomed as I am?

Lea Michele's First Birthday Without Cory Monteith Can't Be Easy

vrijdag 30 augustus 2013

by Emily Abbate 2 hours ago

Today we wish a very, very happy birthday to Lea Michele. Glee's shining star is turning 27 today.

I feel bad for her. No, not just because she shares the same birthday as Courtney Stodden, but because birthdays are usually such a celebration, turning another year older in your 20s, that's usually fun. But this birthday marks the first of many Lea will face without her boyfriend Cory Monteith by her side, who died July 13 at 31 years old. This birthday is the one that he was planning a "big surprise" for before he passed. One that now she'll never have.

So how will she be spending her big 2-7? An insider tells Life & Style that Michele is celebrating "with her girlfriends" and will have "a low-key night."

Man. Grieving when you want to be celebrating. I've been there. You've probably been there. It's never, never easy.

None of us can control when the unexpected horrors of life occur, but they do. There are so many times when you want to celebrate something, whether it be a birthday, an engagement, finishing your first big marathon, or whatever the case may be, and there's a bigger tragic event looming over your head. In those scenarios, it's natural to feel sad even though it's a happy occasion. It's natural to want to hide even though others around you may want to rejoice.

The important thing is that even during a time of grief, you can't get mad at yourself when you don't want to feel sad. Bad things happen. It's the natural progression of life and time that, sooner or later, you will move forward emotionally.

Today, I hope that despite being without Cory, Lea smiles. Today, I'm glad to hear that the starlet will be surrounded by her girlfriends, handling this happy occasion the best way she knows how. Today, I hope she thinks of all of the great things she's done, and looks forward to the next 27 years (and more) ahead of her. 

Happiest of birthdays, Lea.

'Bachelorette' Star Is Expecting Her First Child

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Sasha Brown-Worsham 4 hours ago

DeAnna Pappas was a favorite of Bachelor and Bachelorette fans and we all wanted to see her find her happy ending. Now it seems she is well on her way. She and husband Stephen Stagliano have just announced that they are expecting their first baby on February 8, 2014. Apparently, they tried for a year so it's extra special.

DeAnna was one of the two final women who were ultimately rejected by Bachelor Brad Womack. Later, she went on to star in her own Bachelorette, became engaged to Jesse Csincsak, and then broke that off.

Still, she is considered a Bachelor success story because she ultimately married the twin brother of Michael Stagliano, who was once a contestant on The Bachelorette. It's just one big happy family.

One of the most endearing things about Pappas has always been her openness and honesty. She lost her mother as a child and talked on the show quite a bit about her grief and how much she missed her.

I am sure that a little part of her is thrilled that this baby is going to be a part of her mother as well. Both my husband and I have lost our mothers now, and we are also acutely aware that this new baby we are expecting next January is going to be part of both of them. That means a lot.

DeAnna deserves all the happiness in the world and it's especially nice that she is sharing how long they tried. A lot of people don't discuss that, but it DOES make it more special in many ways. When you get pregnant more quickly, it's still special, but it's not quite the same. I am sure a year of trying was stressful.

Pappas says she could wait to find out the sex, but Stephen wants to know. Either way, Bachelor nation may not know until the baby is born. But that's OK. Another Bachelor baby is always good news. This show can use all the love it can get. Most of what it has in its wake are fails. 

Congrats to the couple!

Are you happy for DeAnna?

'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham Misses Daughter's First Day of School to Party

by Jeanne Sager 3 hours ago

Let's say it's your daughter's first day of school tomorrow. What do you do? Get to bed early so you can leap out of bed, make her pancakes, and take a ton of photos? Or do you go the Farrah Abraham route and stay out partying until the wee hours, a few thousand miles away from home? The Teen Mom is getting major flack this week for missing her daughter's first day of school.

Photos on Twitter prove Farrah was in New York, partying it up after the VMAs with the likes of Jenny McCarthy just hours before daughter Sophia started her first day of pre-K back home in Texas. The folks over at Radar did the math (and checked flights out of New York) and have proven it would have been impossible for Farrah to make it home in time for her daughter's big moment.

But does that make her a bad mom?

More From The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Star Isn't Afraid of Being Criticized

I'm going to go out on a rather precarious limb here and defend Farrah.

Yes, you heard it.

So what if she wasn't there for her daughter's first day of school. It's pre-K. The kid has at least 13 more first days of school in her life.

And OK, so this was a biggie, her first first day.

But you know what? We don't always get to be there for the biggies because we can't be tethered to our kids 24/7. I remember going to daycare to pick up my then-1-year-old daughter after a long day of work, and she walked to me. The sitter graciously did not mention whether she'd walked earlier in the day, but my brain tells me that she probably did. I missed it. I MISSED my daughter walking for the first time.

Was I partying? No. I was working.

Which is kind of the same thing for Farrah at the moment. She's trying to build a career as an actress (God help us), and that means having her face seen at events like the VMAs. In the long run, having a job that puts food on the table for little Sophia is more important than being there for one particular moment.

Do you think Farrah is a bad mom for missing Sophia's big day?

What's the First Thing Men Notice About Women? It May Not Be What You Think

vrijdag 23 augustus 2013

by Sasha Brown-Worsham 4 hours ago

Quick! What's the first thing you think men notice about you? If you said boobs (like I would have), you would be wrong. According to a survey from Murine eye drops of over 1,000 men, the first thing men notice when meeting a woman is ... her eyes?!

OK, so that is a LITTLE suspicious coming from an eye drop company. But the reality is, it's probably not that far off. Men probably do look at our faces first. And, in fact, there is an order to how they take us in.

According to men I know, they DO look at our faces first, but that doesn't really mean much given they can completely take us ALL in in about 10 seconds. According to the survey, which ought to be taken with a grain of salt, here are the eight things men notice about women in descending order:

What do you think men notice first?

Smooth skin is the eighth thing men notice about women. Is it free of bumps and abrasions? Does it look like butter? Then yes. He's turned on. Who could blame him, either? Smooth skin is pretty nice.

Baby North West Revealed for First Time and Boy Is She Cute (PHOTOS)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for. During a sit-down interview on the season finale of Kris, Kanye West showed a photo of baby North. And let me just say, the kid is absolutely gorgeous. Though more surprising than the picture itself was what Kanye revealed about his life now that he's a dad. He came off as sweet, endearing, and a times a little shy. Not at all the persona we are used to seeing. Check out the adorable photo and Kanye's most surprising quotes on fatherhood, family, and how his relationship with Kim Kardashian has changed:

On fatherhood: "She’s my joy ... she brought new joy into the world ... no paparazzi, nothing is going to take that joy from me ... It's such a blessing. And I feel like it's given me the stability that I need to really create and really do God's work the way I should ... someone to be responsible for."

How North has changed his relationship with Kim: "It’s really brought us closer ... there’s someone more important to us than us for the first time."

On his weakest moment: "After I lost my mother there were times I would put my life at risk. I didn't feel like I had anything to live for. Now I have two really special people to live for, a whole family to live for, a whole world to live for."

On North following in his footsteps: "I am going to give her the opportunity to develop her different skill sets. And then decide what she likes to do the best ... we will just give her the support and let her follow what she loves the most."

On North growing up in the spotlight: "The biggest thing is protection ... protecting my daughter. Every family member to give my daughter as many opportunities to just be a child ... of course a big thing that plagues us ... is the idea of the paparazzi chasing a 5-year-old around screaming at them."

How North impacted how he feels about the infamous Taylor Swift/VMAs incident: "I think about education and all I want to do is help people ... Last thing I would want for my daughter is some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to come up and cut her off at an awards show."

On pining for Kim: "There’s times when I wasn’t with her that I wanted to be with her so bad that I thought about taking up sports ... I just dreamed about being next to her."

Indeed he did. Kris revealed that when Kanye would get their family Christmas card, he would draw a stick figure of himself next to Kim. Super-sweet, isn't it?

On criticism of his relationship: "That shows me how much I love her ... that I can have people saying ... this is going to damage your credibility as an artist ... I say I don’t care, I love this woman ... I’m being with this person because I love this person ... she’s worth it to me."

On his religious beliefs: "I'm a Christian and wanted to let people know that is what's on my mind. It's important to me that I grow and walk and raise my family with Christian values."

On being around the Kardashian clan: "When I'm out, I try to get home early so that I can be with my family."

On his regrets: "Everything happens for a reason and I've grown from it ... there are times I am alone on the airplane and I let times my own thoughts haunt me. There are times I wish I could get on the cellphone and call a publicist to fix something. But I think I am very, very blessed."

Kim Kardashian Attends First Post-Baby Party But Won’t Show Us Her Dress

maandag 19 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 1 hour ago

Something happened at a very special party over the weekend. It was like stars aligning. It was a meeting of the minds. It was like peanut butter meeting jelly, the sunset meeting the beach, cats meeting the Internet. Kim Kardashian met the CEO and co-founder of Instagram, Kevin Systrom. And then she posted a photo of them together. On Instagram. Oh my Yeezus, it's so meta I've got a headache now.

But this is some way for Kim to come out of hiding. Um, she's still in the shadows. Kim, why are you hiding? Is this on purpose? You know we already saw you in a flannel at the doctor's, right? (Awesome chambry cover-all, by the way. I totally bought five just like it as soon as I saw that photo.) Here she's practically behind Kevin. Hey Kim, it's not like you to be so camera shy.

Well anyway, still exciting for her. I just picture Kim shaking Kevin's hand and saying, "Oh wowww, you invented like the next best thing to TV. Instagram is like my faaavorite." 'Your favorite app?" Kevin asks. "My favorite TOY!" And then Kim pulls out a phone and takes a selfie, which Kevin photobombs. Just kidding, of course Kim wanted him in the frame. She's prettier than he is.

Or was taking the Kevin photo just another way for Kim to take a selfie without revealing anything from the neck down? Oh who cares, she looks great and has a big smile. Excellent use of shadows there.

So the woman who normally can't wait for the world to see her latest outfit, who blows thousands getting ready for every event, who makes a point of getting her photo taken in just the right lighting -- this is what we get? Man, I don't even KNOW YOU anymore, Kim! I bet Kanye loved this look, though.

Do you think Kim is feeling camera shy because of the baby weight?

Kidnap Victim Hannah Anderson Goes Public for the First Time Since Her Ordeal (VIDEO)

vrijdag 16 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Sasha Brown-Worsham 3 hours ago

Kidnap victim Hannah Anderson has made her first public appearance since her horrific ordeal last week that left her mother and brother dead at the hands of long-time family friend James DiMaggio. She came out to a public fundraiser at the Lakeside Boll Weevil restaurant in San Diego where 20 percent of their sales were going to the Anderson family. She looked subdued and maybe even freaked out by all the media attention, which isn't surprising given how much people have been focused on her this week.

Anderson, 16, was kidnapped two weekends ago after DiMaggio, a man she called "Uncle Jimmy," killed her mother Christina and 8-year-old brother Ethan, then picked her up from cheerleading practice and drove into the woods where he hid out from the police for days. A pair of hikers spotted the "couple" and reported them, which ultimately saved Anderson's life. DiMaggio was killed during a gun fight with the police.

See below:

The family's ordeal has been unimaginable and, according to her father, they have many large expenses as a result. But Hannah's behavior in the days since her rescue have caused some to begin to question things about her. This is largely taking place in the Internet comments sections of news outlets, so isn't exactly reliable or even sane in many cases, but it's happening.

Hannah or a person posing as Hannah spent a lot of time soon after her rescue on a social media site called Ask.fm. She was answering questions and posting photos of the manicure she got in honor of her mom and Ethan and also of herself goofing around with friends.

Her family hasn't denied that it's her and family friends have confirmed that it was, leading many to assume that it's authentic. If it is, it's a bit ... odd. To be sure. But also, who are we to judge how a person behaves after something like this?

She may be so deeply in shock from all that has transpired and the new, sick details -- both her mother and brother were tortured by DiMaggio and her dog was shot -- that she may just be desperate for some sense of normalcy, which she is finding through social media, manicures, and time with her friends. She is 16, after all.

What happened to her was horrendous, hideous, beyond imagining. There is no road map for behavior when you survive something like this. It's just one foot in front of the other. We should be supporting her, not judging her.

Do you think people need to lay off Hannah in the comments sections?

Lindsay Lohan’s First Post-Rehab Selfie Is Sure to Surprise Fans (PHOTOS)

donderdag 15 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota

by Ericka Sóuter 3 hours ago

Lindsay, before her stint in rehab.These days, Lindsay Lohan is better known for her substance abuse issues than for her once-stellar acting ability. It really is a shame how far her star has fallen. Even notables like Ben Affleck are trying to help the poor girl get back on her feet. Well, now that her 90-day stint in rehab is finally over, it seems that Lindsay could be ready for a real comeback. The proof? The recent selfie she posted on Instagram. Read on to see for yourself.

We had gotten so accustomed to seeing the actress look puffy and haggard with straggly hair. She looked more like a 45-year-old than a 20-something. It was obvious to all that something was seriously wrong with her. But now clean and sober, her newfound sobriety shows on her face. Lindsay recently posted this stunning photo for fans and she looks amazing.

Anyone who takes a look at her "before" and "after" photos can't deny how drugs can ravage the body, even in someone so young. Not only is her skin radiant and glowing, she looks healthy. She added the caption, "#back@work! So grateful today!:)." It's certainly been a long road to recovery for the star. She has been plagued with more legal drama and scandal than any other marquee name in Hollywood. She was given so many second chances and she seemed to just squander them all. People actually began placing bets as to whether her next move would be to jail or a cemetery plot. It was so sad. But this gives everyone hope that she can recoup what she has lost. This is the Lindsay die-hard fans have waited for: fresh-faced and ready to fulfill her potential. Let's just hope she makes it this time.

How do you think Lindsay looks now? Do you think she can stay sober?

Parents Outraged Over Ke$ha Concert Never Should've Brought Their Kids in the First Place

woensdag 14 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Mary Fischer 5 hours ago

A group of parents who took their kids to a Ke$ha concert last Friday are all bent out of shape -- no, make that horrified and appalled at the lewd behavior the singer engaged in on stage throughout the show.

Complaints from parents range from being disgusted that she "made reference to her genitalia and sex acts" to being shocked that she gave the crowd the middle finger and "dropped f-bombs" during her performance.

And all I can say is, how in the heck did these parents not realize that they were attending a Ke$ha concert -- not a One Direction, Taylor Swift, or some other squeaky-clean perfectly kid-appropriate act? Don't they have the slightest idea who Ke$ha is?!?

The woman claims to have had sex with a ghost, for crying out loud -- so it's not like anyone should expect any of her concerts to be on the tame side. Did I mention she also has a line of jewelry shaped like penises? (Um, hello?)

I know these parents were probably only trying to do something fun and special for their kids, but I'm sorry -- they're just plain irresponsible if you ask me. Many of them are upset because the concert was open to all ages, and they feel like that served as some sort of indication that Ke$ha's performance would be like some kind of Disney show. But duh, of course it was open to all ages -- because musicians tend to like to sell as many tickets as possible. Also, the concert was held at a casino and they wanted to make it clear that people under the legal gambling age could attend.

But regardless of that, it's not the job of the concert venue to decide what is and is not acceptable for children to see -- that's the parents' job.

And any mom or dad who is planning on bringing their child to a concert needs to a.) listen to the music first and know who they are dealing with, and b.) do a little research on the performer if they don't have time to sit down and listen to their music.

Sounds easy enough, right?

I know exactly what kind of music my son is a fan of, and while it's all pretty innocent at this point, I know his tastes will change as he gets older. And there's no way I'm letting him go to a concert without knowing exactly what types of songs and/or behavior he's likely to see at the show.

These parents have no business complaining about something that was completely in their control had they only made it a point to pay a little more attention. If nothing else, hopefully this will make them more aware of just how important it is to monitor the type of music their kids are listening to and choose concerts accordingly from here on out.

Would you ever taken your child to a Ke$ha concert?

Baby North West's First Pics May Appear Where Kim Kardashian Isn't Allowed (PHOTO)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 3 hours ago

Aren't you glad you're not famous, so if you want to share your baby photos, all you have to do is snap a few and then email/Instagram/Facebook them to friends and family? Poor, unfortunate Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are desperately struggling to share baby North's photos with the world in just the right, classy way. A source claims that Kanye wants North to make her debut in Vogue -- but editor Anna Wintour is having none of it.

Kanye, of course, is a big fashion nerd. And Anna may not mind him so much as his tabloidy lady friend. "But it’s also pretty well-known that Anna is NO fan of Kim or any reality star appearing in the pages of the magazine. Kanye is determined to make sure baby North isn’t photographed by paparazzi then splashed across the world. He knows what he wants -- a professional photographer and the cover of Vogue -- nothing else. But clearly, trying to persuade Anna is going to be an uphill battle." So Kanye has reportedly compiled a stack of statistics showing that the Kardashian brand sells magazines. But who needs Vogue, anyway?

Talk about not wanting to belong to a club that will take you -- I think Kanye just wants to break into the one club that won't let him in. If he's so concerned about North making a glamorous, non-tabloid debut, there are other magazines with just as much prestige.

W magazine featured Kim on their cover a while back, and they just did an interview with Kanye. It's kind of the smarter, more daring Vogue, in fact. I like it a hundred times better than bloated Vogue with its constant pandering to boring socialites.

What about Harper's Bazaar? Or one of the international Vogue magazines? Obviously Marie Claire, Glamour, and Cosmo are not quite fancy enough for Kanye (though just fine for the rest of us plebs). But he could think a little more outside the box -- like maybe Interview or Vanity Fair.

WHAT AM I SAYING?!? Am I really taking this question of where Nori's photos should be published this seriously? The EFF do I care? Ugh, I've got more important things to worry about here. Figure this thing out on your own, Kanye. I'm just saying -- not everyone thinks Vogue is all that.

But hey, Kanye is God! That means he can just command Anna Wintour, right? Or maybe when she sees how cute Nori is, it'll just melt the ice queen's heart. I'm rooting for you, Nori!

What do you think of North West appearing on the cover of Vogue?

Kate Upton's First 'Sports Illustrated' Cover Made Her Completely Miserable

zaterdag 10 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
por Maressa Brown hace 14 horas

Como el modelo de portada para la edición 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Kate Upton tomó al mundo por la tormenta. Parecía que tenía el mundo a su alcance--hombres cayendo encima de ella, las mujeres envidiando sus curvas locamente sexy. Pero la supermodelo revela a ELLE para su edición de septiembre que la experiencia fue realmente su sentimiento objetivado y ridiculizado.

"Después de mi primera portada de Sports Illustrated, me sentí fatal conmigo misma por un mes. Cada solo conocí era casado o punto de casarte, y yo sentí como si estuviera presente su licenciatura o algo así,"se revela. ¡ Ugh! Tristemente, totalmente puedo ver que eso suceda. Y es realmente triste que ella se hizo sentir así, especialmente cuando el resto del mundo fue asumiendo que ella disfrutaba tanto éxito. Afortunadamente, Kate no está guardando de llamando seriamente mal comportamiento.

Kate continúa:

No soy un juguete, soy un ser humano. No estoy aquí para ser utilizado. Soy una mujer adulta, y tienes que averiguar tu sh-t.

Vaya, me pregunto quién exactamente se siente que necesita para "averiguar [su] sh-t". Pero podría ser una declaración general dirigida a quien insiste en la objetivación. Después de todo, ha parecido a ser un problema perpetuo que se encontró. Va admitir que incluso en entornos profesionales, ella es tratada como una estereotipada "rubia tonta". Ella explica:

Gente lidiar con modelos como son los niños. Creen que uno pueden parar contigo. Es realmente gracioso. Siempre estoy como, 'te voy a sacar algo en ti, y te concentras tanto en pensar que soy tonta, que ni vas a saber'.

La cosa es... que deberían saber. En sus entrevistas, Kate sale como una mujer joven astuta, expertos en negocios, interesada en todos los aspectos de su carrera y consciente de su poder. Es más molesto que cualquiera asumiría que es inmaduro, sin cerebro o desposeídos basándose en el hecho de que ella es, eh, preciosa! Pero, Bienvenido al mundo que lamentablemente todavía vivimos!

Más de la conmoción: Kate Upton muestra 'Vogue' es más que el modelo más sexy de América

Hace sesenta años, sucedió a Marilyn, y ahora pasa a Kate. Cuanto más cambian las cosas, más permanecen igual. Qué mal rollo. Todavía, bravo escuchar para hablar acerca de esto, ser audaz y sin miedo a chocar los estereotipos y dando a conocer que ella sea la que se la última risa.

¿Te sorprende por cotizaciones de Kate? ¿Qué crees que podemos hacer para cambiar estos estereotipos sexistas?

Like the Loch Ness Monster emerging from the abyss, Kim Kardashian's first post-baby appearance has been highly anticipated. Some doubted it would ever happen. Many speculated that she was just a myth. Until now! This week Kim took not one, but two thrilling steps into the public eye. Witness! Kim Kardashian speaking to her mother via video. And! Kim Kardashian having a candid moment in a Keek video. We have seen them both, and they are ... well, they are videos of Kim Kardashian, I'll put it that way.

The first one is actually really sweet. Kim appeared via satellite on Kris Jenner's talk show Kris to congratulate her mother. "Hey mom, I just wanted to say congratulations on your new show. I’m sorry I couldn't be there in person, but I'm just loving life a little bit too much at home right now," she said.

Kim looks great, don't you think? Relaxed and well-rested after her first seven weeks as a mom, though that could just be the makeup. (Haha, kidding, of course she looks great.) But what does she mean she's having "way too much fun" where she is? That's not how I would describe the first few weeks of motherhood, exactly. I mean, novelist Zadie Smith put it this way:

Occasionally raising a child, too, is a pleasure, though mostly she is a joy, which means in fact she gives us not much pleasure at all, but rather that strange admixture of terror, pain, and delight that I have come to recognize as joy.

Oh shit, did I just quote a novelist in a Kardashians post? Haha! What am I thinking?!? Back to Kim. Did anyone else wonder to themselves why is she communicating with her mother via satellite when she lives with the woman? If you ask yourself that question, you probably haven't spent much time living with your mother and your newborn baby. (Just kidding, Mom! I love you!)

Okay, on to the second video, which lasts mere fleeting seconds. Here Kim shares something with us I don't know that she's ever shared before. Are you ready? Okay ...

Her tongue -- get it?!? Kim shared her ... oh never mind. Oh Kim, you imp, you scalawag. This must be her insouciant way of saying "you do not get to see my post-baby body until I'm good and ready for it." Good for her. And that's it, folks. Expect more such appearances from Kim in the next few weeks. I'm guessing we may catch a glimpse of her newly svelte wrists next.

What did you think of Kim's two videos?
