The media has been alerted: Nicole Richie is not pregnant, everyone. She repeats, she is not pregnant. After photos of the star looking like she’d —oh I don’t know, eaten? exhaled?— were released, Richie would just like to say: “Contrary to recent speculation, I am not pregnant. This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone’s body is mean spirited and cruel. People’s bodies change and change again. This is not newsworthy and is a waste of valuable media space that should be used for more important issues.” Additionally, Richie said she doesn’t “think it’s fair to ask someone that had two [children] back to back if they’re going to have another one. Right now I’m like, ‘Nooo!’,” the former Simple Life star said, laughing, “But you never know. I need a nap!” [US]

Say what you want about him, but Chuckles is staying in the spotlight, reputation be damned.

Josh Pence, otherwise known as the guy who was sort of in The Social Network (if you count “actors who had another actor’s face superimposed on their body”), has been cast in the new Batman movie. This time, (we assume) he will be using his actual face for the role. [Hollywood Reporter]

Katy Perry feels a “connection to British people” because of husband Russell Brand: “Russell’s teaching me British slang and phrases now. I say, ‘I’m dining out on that one mate,’ and say ‘bin’ instead of ‘trash’ and ‘holiday’ instead of ‘vacation’.” [Digital Spy]
