    There is a reason movies have ratings. Do you really want your kids watching some sex-filled, gross-out comedy you don't want to explain? Or worse, a slasher flick that is sure to give them nightmares for months? Of course not. Those films aren't made for young, impressionable children. So it's no surprise that people are up in arms over Brad Pitt allowing his son Maddox not only to see his new scary zombie flick, but he let him star in it. But he isn't a helpless victim in World War Z. Rather, the 11-year-old plays a flesh-eater who gets shot in the head -- twice! So does this make Brad a bad dad?

    Doesn't it seem like Brad Pitt can do pretty much ... anything? He can act, he's a good dad, he's a good partner to Angelina Jolie, he's a philanthropist, he's funny, he's hot. Another skillset he can add to that illustrious list: Um, how about yodeling? It's true, believe it or not, and now we have proof. Jimmy Fallon and Brad yodel at each other from the rooftops of New York City, and you have to see it to believe it.

    I'm sure Angie and their kids would be so proud.

    And there's no better way to hype up Brad's new movie, World War Z, than yodeling about it. Seriously, Jimmy Fallon's a genius. Why hasn't anyone thought about this before? The only way to promote one's flick is to yodel its praises while on top of an urban jungle on a nice, sunny day. Truly, it's brilliant.

    Robin Thicke is known as a crooner of love songs -- but rape songs? That's what critics are saying about his latest hit "Blurred Lines." The song, as The Daily Beast puts it, "is about how a girl really wants crazy wild sex but doesn’t say it -- positing that age-old problem where men think no means yes into a catchy, hummable song." Some sample lyrics:

    I know you want it / You're a good girl / Can't let it get past me / You're far from plastic / Talk about getting blasted / I hate these blurred lines / I know you want it.

    Hmm. No wonder some people are nicknaming the song "rapey."

    There are some things you just do not say by text message, and asking for a divorce is one of them. In fact, that might be at the top of the list. Unless you found out something so horrible about your spouse that you fear for your life if you confront him/her in person, you need to have at least a phone conversation. At least. But text message is apparently how Katy Perry was dumped by one-time husband Russell Brand.

    She's gotta check into rehab, cuz apparently, he really is her disease. After several years now of what looked to us like toxic relationship highs and lows with ex Chris Brown, Rihanna is allegedly taking some time off from her Diamonds World Tour to check into a women's sex and love addiction program at Centers for Relationship and Sexual Recovery (CRSR) on Recovery Ranch, a Tennessee facility.

    A source tells U.K. magazine Grazia, "Rihanna is still desperately in love with Chris. It's like she's obsessed with him and, although he's told her it's over, she just can't get over him." So she ended up "talking it through with a psychotherapist," who recommended a "12-step program to get rid of her demons." Hence why she's reportedly off to CRSR, which is run like a standard substance abuse clinic.

    Did you get a chance to check out Man of Steel over the weekend? No matter what you thought of such trivial things as the "plot," "character development," "visual effects," "action scenes," and "emotional punches," there was really only one thing you could take away from this film: OMG Henry Cavill is SUCH a HOTTIE.

    I've had a silly girl crush on Henry ever since I saw him back in 2002 (shush) in The Count of Monte Cristo. And now everyone knows Henry's name after Man of Steel, and it's so well deserved. Not only does he have the perfect jawline, amazing, gorgeous blue eyes, a British accent, and an insanely, ridiculously hot body (which he worked his ass off for) -- but he seems like a decent human being ... at least from interviews! We'll see what happens when the fame gets to his head.

    Anyway, now, for your viewing pleasure, Henry Cavill working out. Shirtless.

    Miss USA was crowned last night and the winner was 25-year-old Miss Connecticut Erin Brady. Hey, my home state! I wouldn't say Connecticut is exactly known for its beauty queens, so this is quite a surprise! And unlike Miss Utah, Miss Connecticut actually made some sense when she answered her "smart" question -- which was whether the widespread DNA testing of criminals was a good idea. "If someone is being prosecuted and committed a crime, it should happen. There are so many crimes that if that's one step closer to stopping them, then we should be able to do so," said Erin, not exactly sounding like a young Hillary Clinton, but at least not mangling her grammar. Here are seven things you should know about the new Miss USA.

    Do you happen to remember back in February when New York Observer movie critic Rex Reed wrote a scathing review of Identity Thief in which he attacked actress Melissa McCarthy for her weight? It's clear from the writeup that he hated the movie, but for some reason, he got awfully personal about McCarthy's body size in the process of criticizing the film, referring to her as "cacophonous, tractor-sized," "a screeching, humongous creep, "a female hippo," and "a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success."

    I'm sorry McCarthy has even been asked to publicly respond to the review, but now that she's broken her silence on her reaction to his insults, it's worth sharing. Because not only did she take the high road, she did an amazing job of pointing out the damage fat-shaming comments like Reed's can cause.

    It's been a while since we first started hearing that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux would be tying the knot very soon, and still no word on when, how, or where the nuptials will actually take place. Sure, the celeb couple may just be keeping their plans under extremely tight wraps, and if that's the case, who could blame 'em? But multiple sources tell People that although plans for the Big Day were in full swing -- wedding bands were designed, Jen was deciding on a dress, and she was thinking this spring would be it -- now, "wedding talk has stopped," to quote.

    But before jumping to conclusions that it has anything to do with Brangelina or the couple's romance being on the rocks, deeeep breath. Those who are apparently in the know claim the reason behind postponing isn't cause for concern ...

    Maria Menounos is big Boston Celtics fan. Like a huge, obnoxious, screaming fan who just can't control herself when she's at a game, and she has no shame in it. Fans of the opposing team aren't always fans of Menounos though, and she recently revealed a hilarious account of how one extremely famous Lakers super fan -- Jack Nicholson -- tried to teach her a lesson.

    Last night she told the story on "Conan" about what went down when Nicholson "mafiaed" her at Game 6 of the Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals game in 2010. She said she and Dane Cook were sitting courtside, as they were at most of the games. Then all of sudden, the fun came to an abrupt halt.
