Celeb superlatives: Duchess Kate's insane mommy rebound
Paste BN's Donna Freydkin digs through the latest celebrity news, giving thumbs-up or eye rolls to those who earned them. Think high school yearbook superlatives — if Channing Tatum and Kate Middleton were BFFs.
Most superhuman pregnancy rebound ever: Duchess Kate. This woman gave birth on May 2 to her second child, daughter Charlotte. And here she was, in skinny jeans, cavorting with son George, while watching daddy play polo. In coordinating outfits, no less. We call this full-on postpartum pizzazz.
Most stylish toddler: North West, who turned 2 on June 15. The tot wears Balmain to ballet class. And mom Kim shared a snap of her wearing dad Kanye West's massive gold chain. We're guessing it did not come from Forever 21.
Best red-carpet smooch: Sirs Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, who are besties in real life. They share their adventures on social media. McKellen officiated at Stewart's wedding. And when McKellen's movie Mr. Holmes premiered, Stewart gave him a full smack on the lips. While Stewart's wife Sunny Ozell grinned.
Most shocking death ever: On the finale of Game of Thrones, Jon Snow was no more. The brothers of the Night's Watch turned on their Lord Commander (again) and assassinated him. For real? Can it be true that Jon Snow is a goner. Yes, said Kit Harington. Sorry, fans. It's a wrap.
Most likely to possibly appear on DWTS: Channing Tatum, who showed off his impressive moves at the L.A. Pride Parade, on top of a float, dancing with his Magic Mike XXL costars Matt Bomer and Adam Rodriguez. Supporting a worthy cause, while also having a great time and selling their film? This is a beat we can totally follow.
Best reversal of gender norms: Zoe Saldana, revealing in Instyle that her husband, Marco Perego, took her last name. Did he care if anyone made fun of him, or questioned his choice? That would be a resounding. No. Color us impressed. "Why is it so surprising, shocking- eventful that a man would take his wife's surname? Women have never been asked if its ok for them to give up their names — why doesn't that make the news?" she wrote on her Facebook page.
