Amy Schumer Legally Changed Her Son's Name for a Very Good Reason


Amy Schumer and her husband, Chris Fischer, welcomed their first son together last May and named the little guy Gene Attell Fischer. His middle name was meant to be a sweet tribute to the couple’s good friend, fellow comedian Dave Attell. However, Schumer revealed on the most recent episode of her podcast 3 Girls, 1 Keith that they have actually changed Gene’s middle name.

“So do you guys know that Gene, our baby’s name, is officially changed? It’s now Gene David Fischer,” she said. “It was Gene Attell Fischer, but we realized that we, by accident, named our son ‘genital.’ Gene Attell sounds like genital.” Um, that’s hilarious and, honestly, we’d never noticed it. either. Schumer’s guest on the episode was her costar from Trainwreck, Claudia O’Doherty, who said her own mother did remark on the name. “My mom pointed that out to me, actually,” O’Doherty said. “My mum was like, ‘Amy’s called her son genital.'”

The comedian said they decided to legally change Gene’s middle name to David because it still honors Attell and is also her own father’s middle name. Hopefully, little Gene will one day appreciate the fact his parents made this change early enough in his life that he won’t be teased about it.

Amy Schumer has openly shared that she and her husband are trying to give Gene a younger brother or sister with the help of IVF treatments. “I’m a week into IVF and feeling really run down and emotional,” she wrote on Instagram. “If anyone went through it and if you have any advice or wouldn’t mind sharing your experience with me please do. My number is in my bio. We are freezing my eggs and figuring out what to do to give Gene a sibling. ❤️”

Fingers crossed their treatments are successful—and that they get the name right on the first go.

Did Peter Weber Just Reveal the Real Reason He and Madison Broke Up After ‘The Bachelor’?


Peter Weber is keeping sane during the coronavirus pandemic by answering a lot of fan questions on Instagram Stories…and the latest may have revealed how he truly feels about his breakup from Madison Prewett after The Bachelor.

On Sunday, March 22, one fan took part in the former Bachelor’s Q&A by requesting some breakup advice. “Advice for someone who was just broken up with out of a 3-year relationship,” the anonymous user requested. Weber’s answer, however, seemed extremely personal.

“Breakups are supposed to hurt,” Weber wrote. “But I believe things happen for a reason and you’re one step closer to your person now.” That’s sweet, but it’s what he says next that feels pretty close to home.

“You should never want to be with someone that doesn’t want you back the same way,” he concluded, pairing the sentiment with a pensive solo pic. Hmmm…

While this could have just been earnest advice to a fellow brokenhearted human, his answer is particularly telling when you take into account Weber and Prewett’s relationship before the Barb of it all and the “After the Final Rose” ceremony. Before Weber’s mom criticized the couple on national television, they had already been through a breakup. Prewett left the competition after realizing how different her values were from Weber’s. The fact that he’d slept with the other contestants during Fantasy Suite week seemed like just the breaking point.

Weber even told Prewett that she was the only one whose feelings toward him weren’t clear, and Prewett apparently admitted to Barb she wouldn’t agree to an engagement. Could they have simply realized their feelings were not on the same level?

“Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further,” Weber wrote on Instagram on March 13, just three days after The Bachelor finale. “Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure.”

Weber answered a bunch of other questions during the Q&A, as well, including one about the current state of a certain injury.

“Doing a lot better than this pic haha,” he replied to someone who asked about his forehead. “Been getting microneedling done on it every few months and cream twice a day. Dr says it takes about a year to fully heal.” With all the joyful Instagrams Weber has been posting lately, it seems like that’s not the only scar beginning to fade.

Billie Eilish Showed Off Her Body on Tour for an Important Reason


Billie Eilish’s oversized clothing has become one of her staples, and she’s said multiple times there’s a reason behind it. “I never want the world to know everything about me,” she explained in a 2019 Calvin Klein campaign. “I mean, that’s why I wear big baggy clothes: Nobody can have an opinion, because they haven’t seen what’s underneath.” In a June 2019 interview with Vogue Australia, she said her style “gives nobody the opportunity to judge what [her] body looks like.”

But in a video interlude for her Where Do We Go? World Tour, which kicked off March 9 in Miami, the pop star addressed exactly that: the idea of people judging her—or anyone’s—body. In the clip, Eilish is seen slowly undressing as she gives a powerful message about body-shaming. Per BuzzFeed, fans who attended the show say this was Eilish’s full speech:

“You have opinions about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body. Some people hate what I wear. Some people praise it. Some people use it to shame others. Some people use it to shame me. But I feel you watching, always, and nothing I do goes unseen. So while I feel your stares, your disapproval, or your sigh of relief, if I lived by them, I’d never be able to move.

Would you like me to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Taller? Would you like me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with, is it not what you wanted?

If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I shed the layers, I am a slut. Though you’ve never seen my body, you still judge it and judge me for it. Why? You make assumptions about people based on their size. We decide what they’re worth. If I wear more, who decides what that makes me? What that means? Is my value based only on your perception? Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?”

Watch a (somewhat shaky) fan video of the interlude—courtesy of the Twitter account Eilish Tour News—for yourself, below:

Fans flooded to Twitter to praise Billie Eilish for taking a stand against body-shaming. “Billie is using her tour as a platform to send a positive statement to her fans by using an interlude about how people’s opinions on her body aren’t her responsibility is so powerful,” one fan tweeted. “I love this women so much.”

See, below, just a few reactions from fans:

Eilish hasn’t commented on the response to the interlude yet, but stay tuned.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Reportedly Kept Alex Karev Alive for One Simple Reason


Warning: Grey’s Anatomy spoilers ahead.

If you’re one of those Grey’s Anatomy fans who flip-flopped from fearing the writers would kill off Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) to wishing they had after finding out his fate, listen up.

According to a source that spoke with Us Weekly, there’s a very simple reason the Grey’s Anatomy writers sent Evil Spawn off to live on a farm with Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and their two kids after Justin Chambers announced his exit in the middle of season 16.

“The reason he wasn’t killed off is because Shonda Rhimes is leaving the door open for a return, in any capacity, if he wants to come back,” an alleged insider told the publication. (If you’re wondering why they mention Rhimes, who is no longer the showrunner of the long-running series, it’s because she still has approval privileges as the executive producer.)

Though Chambers announced in his statement from January that Grey’s had already aired his final scenes, they were ultimately able to get him to loan his voice-over to the farewell episode.

Showrunner Krista Vernoff expressed her appreciation for the actor and character in a recent statement. “We have loved writing Alex. And we have loved watching Justin Chambers’ nuanced portrayal of him,” she tweeted. “For 16 seasons, 16 years, we have grown up alongside Alex Karev. We have been frustrated by his limitations and we have been inspired by his growth and we have come to love him deeply and to think of him as one of our very best friends. We will miss him terribly. And we will always be grateful for his impact, on our show, on our hearts, on our fans, on the world.”

Though Camilla Luddington, who plays Karev’s soon-to-be-ex-wife Jo on the series, has yet to release an official statement, costar Ellen Pompeo (the titular Meredith Grey) called the exit the “best possible storyline” before reuniting with former castmate T.R. Knight.

Whether or not the doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital (or the fans) would be happy to see Karev again after all this remains to be seen….

Meghan Markle Keeps Wearing These Zodiac Necklaces for the Sweetest Reason


Ever since Meghan Markle burst onto the global fashion scene in 2017 when she and Prince Harry went public with their relationship, designers and brands have benefited from the “Markle Sparkle.” They typically see an uptick in not only exposure, but actual sales after the Duchess wears their clothing and accessories.

We’re guessing that will soon be happening to Suetables, the brand behind the sweet zodiac necklaces Markle has been wearing lately. Much like her now-famous “H” necklace, the royal wears them as a tribute to her husband and their son—a Virgo symbol for Harry and a Taurus for Archie. “The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, wearing our ‘Shirley Zodiac’ to represent Prince Harry and a ‘Vanessa Coin Zodiac’ to celebrate baby Archie. We are thrilled she chose to keep her loved ones close to her heart by wearing @suetables ♥️ #suetables #wearcanadaproud,” the brand posted on Instagram.

The brand makes sense as a new favorite for the Duchess of Sussex—given her love of delicate jewelry and sustainability. It’s based in Toronto where she lived for years while filming Suits. “Suetables works with small silver houses in Taxco, Mexico who employ local artisans who are dedicated to conserving techniques which are passed on from generation to generation,” the brand states on its website. “No pieces go wasted—any pieces from ruined hand-stamping, we recycle.”

Bonus: They’re not outrageously expensive. The ‘Shirley’ pendant is $79, while the ‘Vanessa’ charm is $159. Get the exact pieces below, or shop similar styles to add some “Markle Sparkle” to your own wardrobe.

'The Knight Before Christmas' Review: There's a Reason This Holiday Rom-Com Is So Satisfying


Vanessa Hudgens won Christmas last year with her Netflix rom-com, The Princess Switch. The film was a viral sensation, filled to the brim with the feel-good, low-stakes hijinks we’ve come to expect from our holiday movies. A sequel to that now classic is coming in 2020, but while we wait, Hudgens has another holiday flick for us: The Knight Before Christmas. And I’m pleased to report it’s very, very good.

The plot of the movie is delightfully bonkers: A knight from 1334, Sir Cole (Josh Whitehouse), time travels to present day Ohio and meets a science teacher, Brooke (Vanessa Hudgens), after she accidentally hits him with her car. The doctors think Sir Cole has a head injury, which is why they aren’t fazed when he says he’s from medieval times. They think his memory will return in time and he’ll be back to “normal.” But days go by, and Sir Cole still contests he’s a knight. Brooke starts to wonder if he’s telling the truth, until—spoiler alert—she realizes he very much is, and they live happily ever after.

Much like Amy Adams’s character in Enchanted, the humor in The Knight Before Christmas stems from Sir Cole attempting to navigate the modern world. He pulls out a sword to fight Brooke’s ex-boyfriend, calls cars “steel steeds,” is enamored with televisions (a.k.a “magic boxes that make merry”), and thinks neckties are tiny torture devices. Brooke finds Sir Cole’s naiveté endearing, though, and romance blossoms. Not much about The Knight Before Christmas is realistic, but that’s the point. It’s pure, unabashed escapism in the best way possible.

“I think all rom-coms, on some level, are fairy tales, and I liked dropping the pretense and just owning it,” Monika Mitchell, the director of The Knight Before Christmas, tells Glamour.

Finding pure joy in 2019 is hard, after all, which is probably why rom-coms have become a booming business again. “I guess we all need to believe in magic a little bit more now than before,” Mitchell says. “These movies are entertainment, and that’s OK. They’re art, but they’re commercial art. They’re designed to be entertaining to the entire family so that a group of loved ones can sit together. Everyone has something in there that they can hold on to. Watching something that makes you happy is legitimate. To be happy at the end of something you invest an hour and a half of your life in is completely legitimate.”
