It’s pretty customary for an actor to cite a fascinating script or intriguing character as the reason they wanted to get involved in a film. But for Kate Hudson, taking on a role in Deepwater Horizon was even more meaningful because she got to share the experience with her dad Kurt Russell.

“I knew the script was interesting and I knew I wanted to work with Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg [the director], but I also wanted to be involved in this because of my dad,” says Hudson of Russell, who plays Jimmy, an offshore installation manager in the movie. “It was great to be filming in New Orleans as a family. It was summer, so Pa actually lived with my brother Oliver, who was shooting Scream Queens there. They got a house together with Ollie’s kids and I would bring my kids, so we made it a big family thing for about a month. I knew it was really rare and special.”

Even though Hudson and Russell didn’t share screen time, she says they still have a blast just spending time together. “It was different because we didn’t really work together in scenes,” she says. “But now we get to travel to premieres with each other to promote the film and that’s really fun. Just the other night, I was out and when I got home I thought ‘why did I come home so early?’ And then I was like, I think because my dad is here, I got in my childhood head and thought ‘Pa is going to see me come in and it’s too late!’” she says, joking about a curfew. “But usually he’s going out with me!”

In the film, Hudson plays Felicia Williams, the wife of Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) who is an oil rig worker fighting to survive when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explodes. Since the movie was based on the real-life events, which took place in 2010 and caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history, Hudson spent time with the real Felicia Williams before she started filming. “She was incredibly generous about sharing that moment in her life,” says Hudson. “Reopening that wound is not easy for people who suffer from traumatic experiences, but she is a strong woman. She was trying to hold it together for her daughter. And she represents what the family members of the rig workers were feeling at the time of the explosion, not knowing if your loved one was going to make it home.”

Hudson says she had crossed paths years earlier with her co-star Wahlberg, but Deepwater was the first time she really got to know him. “When we were younger, I remember we would hang out a bit, but I didn’t really know Mark,” she says. “But it was really easy. We’re both family people. And there was no difficulty trying to create the chemistry. It was seamless.”

And as for the finished product? “I’m not a shameless promoter,” she says. “But when I finally watched the movie, I was completely engaged. It made me feel very emotional in the end, which is really rare when you’re in something and still feel that way. It tells a different side of a story that we all know and have seen from a far.”

Deepwater Horizon is in theaters Sept. 30. Watch the trailer above.

 

The 2016 Emmy Awards may still be a few days away, but Modern Family star Sofía Vergara is already turning heads in standout pieces.

On Thursday, the 44-year-old actress, also the highest paid on television, hit the streets of Beverly Hills, Calif., in a look that proves she’s unafraid of flaunting her assets. For her shopping adventure, Vergara kept it simple and slipped into a white mid-sleeve body-con dress that cut right below her knees and accentuated every part of her figure.

To pair the frock, she threw on sky-high, lace-up heels and a black Mansur Gavriel bucket bag ($595; barneys.com) for good measure. Sure, Vergara may seriously work hard to maintain her athletic shape, but that doesn’t mean she shies away from treating herself.

Recently, she’s taken to Instagram to show us some of the sweet delicacies she loves to indulge in when the time comes.

Birthday cake, strawberry covered desserts, and even unidentified treats (below) are obviously part of the agenda.

Heidi Klum is no stranger to costumes nor leotards: She’s the reigning queen of Halloween and a supermodel after all. Thus, both of those fun elements came together in her latest look on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The America’s Got Talent judge wasn’t clad in her normal, leg-baring minis or high-fashion ensembles, but a dance-ready all-in-one. And Klum surely did bust out some serious moves, recreating Sia’s showstopping “Chandelier” video as none other than 14-year-old dance phenom Maddie Ziegler. Host Ellen DeGeneres took the reigns as the Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter—slipping on her two-tone black and white wig, tulle LBD, black leggings, and sneakers, of course.

“As you can tell I’m Sia and the problem is, I can’t really see you,” DeGeneres explained. “I made this costume myself. I found some old loofahs backstage. And the bow is from a car I gave away recently.”

“Sia and I have a whole lot in common: She’s Australian and I married an Australian. We both like to swing on a chandelier, which is why I’m no longer welcome in Bed Bath & Beyond,” the host continued. “Obviously, you would not see Sia without her dancer Maddie. So welcome my Maddie for the day, Heidi Klum.”

Klum then leaped out onto the stage. “You know I love you and I’d do anything for you,” she confessed to DeGeneres. “Let’s just go for it.” The performance to follow was legendary. Watch it in the video at top.

Tuesday night’s episode of Lip Sync Battle was sure to raise a few pulses, complete with a bondage-inspired rendition of The Weeknd’s sultry Fifty Shades of Grey single, “Earned It,” played to perfection by Regina Hall. But it was competitor Lupita Nyong’o’s over-the-top performance of Salt-N-Pepa’s “Whatta Man” that completely brought the house down.

The Academy Award winner, who was unrecognizable in a lob ombre wig, a tiny white crop top, a firefighter jacket, and jean shorts, cranked up the heat and steamed up the small screen with dancing from studly shirtless local fire fighters. Think Magic Mike, but fired up to a whole new level!

It finally got so hot that a firefighter literally had to put out some fires by hosing down the dancers, who continued to shake and shimmy for the camera.

While Hall’s costume was spot on (down to The Weeknd’s hair) and her performance knocked it out of the park by bringing out quite a few laughs, Lip Synce Battle host Chrissy Teigen’s simultaneously delighted and disbelieving face during Nyongo’s sexy set says it all.

Whatta man, indeed!

Khloé Kardashian is sporting that loved-up glow, and she’s not afraid to use the “L word” with new beau, Tristan Thompson.

The youngest Kardashian sister signaled that things were really heating up between her and the athlete when she shared a few New Year’s Eve shots of the pair cuddling and sharing a sweet kiss just weeks ago. Now, the reality star is opening up about her new relationship (and a few other things) during Wednesday night’s episode of the Late Late Show.

“We use the “L word,” the laughing 32-year-old revealed, adding with Corden’s prompting that the couple have been “French kissing for a little bit now.”

The Revenge Body star was a little less candid when it came to answering a few tough questions about her personal life as the pair played an intense round of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” opting to eat a fish eye rather than answering if she thought “O.J. did it.”

“I don’t even eat red meat, let alone an eye!” she shrieked as she struggled to swallow it.

While the late night host ate a chicken’s foot rather than spill who he thought was the worst singer on Carpool Karaoke, Corden balked at the prospect of consuming bird saliva and hesitantly revealed that Pierce Brosnan was the rudest celebrity he had ever encountered.

Prince William is the king of heartwarming moments.

In typical fashion, The Duke of Cambridge was more than charming as he and wife Kate Middleton spent time with a group of children and families Wednesday who have suffered bereavement, even taking time to open up to a young girl who had lost her father.

“I lost my mummy when I was very young too,” William reportedly told 9-year-old Aoife, whom he comforted after he learned she lost her father to pancreatic cancer six years ago, according to People.

“I was [15] and my brother was 12,” he continued during his and Middelton’s visit to Child Bereavement UK’s center in Stratford, East London. “So we lost our mummy when we were young as well. Do you speak about your daddy? It’s very important to talk about it, very, very important.”

The young girl told William about the colors she had chosen for a “memory box” in honor of her father, opting for bold hues since her dad liked bright colors and loved gardening.

“It was really nice that he talked to me,” she told the mag. “It was like there are other people who know what it is like to lose someone.”

Aoife’s mother, Marie, was touched by the moment, telling reporters, “I couldn’t believe it when he started to talk about his mother. It was very emotional and I was willing myself not to start to cry. I almost did.”

“I am telling my children that if they take anything away from this day, it is what he said about how important it is to talk,” she continued. “Kids do not forget that. Sometimes it hurts but we can remember the happy things too. It is so important to talk.”

While they were at the center, Kate and William also bonded with mothers and helped them make memory jars for loved ones.

The visit, which highlighted children’s mental health, was particularly special for William, considering Child Bereavement UK is one of his key causes.

On Monday, news broke that Taylor Swift is launching her very own channel via AT&T, promising to be a “new destination for unique and never-seen videos.” The on-demand channel, appropriately named Taylor Swift Now, is set to debut on Nov. 30 and will offer new music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, concert performances, as well as “unique videos.”

The mind reels! In the lead-up to her network debut, we went ahead and dreamed up a few of the shows we hope to see on Taylor Swift Now.

Squad Wars
Taylor Swift’s squad is the stuff that Instagram feeds are made of. And while we know Tay is anti bad blood, one does want a touch of drama. So let’s have her famous squad square off. Imagine a dodge ball game with House of Jenner vs. The House of Hadid. I mean, who wouldn’t watch that?

Taylor Swift Christmas Special

The real stars of Taylor Swift’s Instagram? Her two cats, Detective Olivia Benson and Dr. Meredith Grey. (She loves a network drama, what can we say?) She already asks her fuzzy felines the occasional existential question. Let’s have a weekly installment where fans ask Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey a few questions of their own.

Awkward Dance Party with Taylor Swift
When Taylor Swift isn’t winning music awards, she’s dancing awkwardly in the audience. (There’s an entire Tumblr account dedicated to her moves.) Surely, there is more where those came from.

The Bachelorette in Rhode Island
This Fourth of July, Taylor Swift’s palatial Rhode Island mansion was converted into Taymerica—replete with matching swimsuits, coordinated towels, a jumbo Americana slide, and her super-famous friends. This time, let’s turn the compound into Taylor’s very own bachelorette special. At the very least, we’ll definitely get a new album out of the deal.

Nordstrom Is Changing Its Popular Return Policy

November 14, 2019 | News | No Comments

In the past, Nordstrom customers enjoyed a very lenient return policy. The department store used to accept all returns even if it had been months (or years) since the purchase date, the product had been used, or there was no receipt. Now, that’s all about to change.

The first revision to the policy is that special occasion dresses (like gowns or formal attire) will need to have the original tags attached in order for the retailer to process the return. This comes after Nordstrom received complaints from shoppers that new clothing they were buying appeared to have been worn. In addition, the retailer completed an internal audit that showed a high percentage of special occasion dresses had been bought and returned.

According to their website, Nordstrom still maintains a “case-by-case” return policy. However, the company does keep an internal log that tracks who is buying and returning goods and how frequently, so repeat offenders could get caught. “Occasionally there have been situations where we have felt a customer wasn’t being fair with us, like when their returns to Nordstrom were greater than their purchases with us or when we have no record of ever having sold the item being returned,” Nordstrom spokesperson Emily Sterken told Yahoo Style.

Another change has to do with refund payments. Although you used to be able to receive a cash refund for returned items, you will now only be able to receive a credit in the original form of payment or a Nordstrom gift card.

The changes could be due to a National Retail Federation report that found this type of fraud cost the company over $2 billion in 2015.

It has been a hectic month in the Carter household, but the family of five couldn’t be happier.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight‘s Denny Directo, Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, gushed about the addition of twins, Rumi and Sir, to the Beyhive. “It’s a wonderful experience,” she told the host at the 19th Annual DesignCare event hosted by the Hollyrod Foundation in Los Angeles on Saturday.

And it’s not just ‘Yonce and JAY-Z who are over the moon for the little ones. Knowles also had nothing but good things to say about how big sis, Blue Ivy Carter, 5, has been with her new brother and sister.

“She’s very proud and very excited,” Knowles shared. “She’s a good big sister, she really is.”

“She cares for them a lot,” her husband, Richard Lawson, added.

Beyoncé shared the first photo of Sir and Rumi on Instagram on Friday, one month after their birth, and the Internet still hasn’t recovered.
