In between her motherly duties and outstanding career, Jessica Alba proves to everyone that it is possible to enjoy a busy work schedule while still making time for her loved ones.

After rocking a few adorable poses for the Simon Emmett photo shoot, the "Fantastic 4" beauty opened up in the May 2013 issue of Glamour UK about everything from the importance of family to her brand The Honest Company.

"When you have kids, you kind of think, 'I don't need to work just to work," the 31-year-old actress explained. "Having kids, having a strong with relationship with my husband, my friends, that is my priority... that's what really defines me, not a tabloid or a movie opening or a poster or an endorsement."

When discussing why she created her eco-friendly lifestyle company, the dark-haired beauty revealed, "I'm not approaching it like an actress, I'm approaching it like a mom, and I just want the best for my family and I feel like all moms do. You can't really argue with that."

In regards to her future career plans, Jessica declared, "I am both [an actress and an entrepreneur]... As you are building your career you make certain and I didn't know how to not work, and I didn't know how to discern what I wanted to do or not to do. I was just like, bring it."

Thanks MTV, Shain Gandee’s Family Can’t Afford Funeral

Anyone who has seen Buckwild knows that that Shain Gandee loved him some muddin’. Laugh if you want but there is honestly nothing to do in rural West Virginia other than…well…drink beer, blow stuff up, and drive in the mud. If his death wasn’t sad enough, his family is reporting that they can’t afford to bury this redneck prince. I know what you’re thinking: “Bullshit! He was famous and on TV!” Yes, but he was on MTV. This channel is notorious for making its reality stars famous but not rich in their first season. (Snookie worked her first season on Jersey Shore for $800 and a case of pube lice shampoo.)

The dirt poor kids of Buckwild were reportedly paid 1,000 per episode which means that for the 12 episode season they made 12k gross. Seeing as the average funeral nowadays costs 10k you can see the problem. MTV exploits the poor and the stupid for their own profit margins and grudgingly pays up. If they could pay them in Natural Light and Marlboro Reds they would. The family is having a “mud run” which is a race in the mud I guess, to raise money to bury Shain. MTV should fucking pay for his funeral. It’s the least they can do for the shit-ton of money they are going to make using his death to boost ratings.

What’s mudding like in Buckwild’s hometown of Sissonville? Here’s a primer.

“Ready To Pop” Tori Spelling Spends Two Days At The Fair With Her Family - Babble (blog)

Tori Spelling took her kids, Liam and Stella, to the fair!

It seems fair to say that Tori Spelling is the one we’re watching as far as giving birth is concerned. Now that Mel B and Alyssa Milano are out of the running, Tori seems to be on deck where we’re concerned. So is it also fair to say that when a random man said she was “ready to pop,” it’s more accurate than offensive?

Spelling recently took her kids to the fair where they experienced, “1 giant smurfette, 2 live goldfish,&several fried Twinkies later home frm the fair.1st thing kids ask? ‘can we go again 2morrow?’”

I suppose Liam and Stella’s wishes were granted because today (September 4), Spelling took her kids for round two. Only this time, she said “Day 2 at the fair! And only a man would walk by and say loudly ” oh Sh*t! You’re ready to POP. damn!”"

Like we said, she’s on our radar!

Radiant Megan Fox's Labor Day Weekend Family Dinner

Posted Monday September 5, 2011 12:15 AM GMT

Out for a family dinner on the town for the second night in a row, Megan Fox joined Brian Austin Green and his son Kassius for a delectable bite to eat in Santa Monica on Sunday (September 4).

Looking stunning in a long red dress, the "Jennifer's Body" beauty gave a wave to paparazzi as she and her two main men headed inside BOA Steakhouse for the family chowdown session.

The Labor Day Weekend outing comes as Miss Fox currently covers Italian magazine Amica - in which she interviewed about topics including removing her naval ring along with her dietary situation.

As for getting rid of her belly button piercing, the 25-year-old told, “I did it when I was 16-years-old because I was a fan of Britney Spears. The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky and so I removed it when I turned 20,”

As for her diet, Megan dished, "For a year and a half, until about four months ago, I followed a strict vegan diet based on raw fruits and vegetables, no bread, sugar and coffee."

She added, "But I had lost too much weight. So now I eat a bit of everything. I train three times a week doing circuit training with my trainer Harvey Pasternak."

Enjoy the pictures of Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green with Kassius at BOA Steakhouse in Santa Monica (September 4).

Arnie's Son Patrick Says The Family Is Doing "Well"

It's been a rough year, but they're a tough family. We have no doubt that they'll pull through.

Patrick Schwarzenegger, aside from being undeniably attractive, is also the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. His parent's divorce and his father's scandal were particular low points for the family this year, along with Patrick's younger brother's devastating surfing accident just a few weeks ago.

All of this drama would take its toll on any family, but Patrick insists that the brood is holding strong and has persevered through the pain. He explains:

"Everyone is doing well, really well. My brother has recovered [from his surfing accident], he's healthy, and we're all enjoying the last few days of summer … Work takes your mind off other things. I've spent a lot of time working, and also I have school during the year, so I'm booked up during the day. My mind is usually thinking about those things."

You're a very strong kid. We're really impressed with you. You're handling this situation with the maturity of someone twice your age. Bet your Mom is super proud of you.

Preteen Drag Contest Winner Is Loved By His Family And Town!

And rightly so!

Redvers Stokes is a 12 year old English boy who has a drag persona named "Naughty Nora," who wins drag competitions and makes appearances at local events because the town loves him so much!

Why did he start dressing this way for events?

Because he lives in Sticker, "a town in England's Cornwall region with a population of approximately 1,000 people, which began a drag queen competition two years ago because there weren't enough females competing to be carnival queen. Stokes won the title against other men dressed in women's clothing singing songs by Dolly Parton and Michael Jackson."

He even says his friends think it's cool and his parents support it. And yes, he still likes girls:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I think it's really funny," he says. "And my friends think it's really cool. I've always been open to new things. I might like dressing up in women's clothes but I still like girls. It's just a little hobby of mine."

Stokes's mother, Georgia, agrees. "I couldn't be more proud," she says. "His 'Naughty Nora' routine is very convincing. I've never been concerned. Redvers just loves being the center of attention. He has no plans to make it a career."

Well we say good for you, Redvers! If that's what you love then we're proud of you for sticking to it, and we're so proud of the town for being so supportive!

Sticker, you rock!

Alli Sims welcomed a baby girl into the world on July 14!

No, it’s not Britney Spears who had a baby girl – it’s her former assistant/cousin Alli Sims who welcomed her first child, Allegra Theodora Forstmann, with husband Luke Forstmann.

The couple welcomed Allegra into the world on July 14 and couldn’t be more happy!

“She is a little love bug,” Sims tells PEOPLE. “The love I have for her is such an unexplainable feeling.”

Sims has branched out from the business of being someone’s assistant as she now has her own company, Alli Sims Events and Designs, which handles interior design and freelance wedding and event planning.

Speaking of Britney – when do you think she’ll have another baby?
