They said WHAT?!

Wendy Williams hounds Nicole Scherzinger over not having a baby with Lewis Hamilton

She’s not exactly known for her discretion when interviewing the stars, but Wendy Williams seriously overstepped the mark during a chat with Nicole Scherzinger this week.

Following Nicole’s split with Lewis Hamilton earlier this year, 51-year-old Wendy asked the former Pussycat Doll why she spent seven years with him without having children.

Wendy said: “I was saying, because you’re 37, this is a woman who spent seven years of her life breaking up and getting back together. Poor us because [men] can have babies whenever they want. Those are seven years you can never get back and he was really wealthy. I was rooting for you, girl.”

Somehow Nicole, who is incredibly successful in her own right, managed to not take too much offence to Wendy essentially calling her a baron gold digger.

The former X Factor judge replied: “It’s alright. It’s funny, my girlfriends are always like, ‘Honey, it’s your pretty years now. Get it together.”

Continuing to pry, Wendy asked about Nicole’s current relationship status, to which she responded: “I am rubbish at dating. Everything happens for a reason. I am a girl of faith and a strong believer. Seven years was a long time.”

Celebrities: They’re normal people too!

Ryan Reynolds tries – and fails – to build an IKEA baby crib

He and wife Blake Lively welcomed their first child, daughter James, in January, so you’d think Ryan Reynolds would be used to building baby furniture by now.

But the 38-year-old, just like the rest of us, definitely struggles with flatpack equipment.

In a hilarious video for American GQ, actor Ryan initially assumes the IKEA crib will be easy to build.

But soon enough he’s on the phone to IKEA, clearly confused about how the parts go together.

At least he’s got his looks to fall back on…

Tweet of the week

Taylor Swift clears up the rumours

Celebrities being able to interact with their fans is one of the best things about social media.

But this means they can also quickly correct any false stories written about them, should the need arise.

This week Taylor Swift managed to dismiss all of the rumours about her with one post.

You can’t say she’s not efficient.

Best dressed of the week

Claire Danes stepped out in New York looking sensational in Victoria Beckham.

Actress Claire, 36, was snapped leaving the studio after an appearance on The Late Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The soft red wrap dress showed off a lot of cleavage, while still managing to remain classy.

Homeland star Claire teamed the dress with a large clutch and great heels, and she looked happy as she made her way home after filming.

But the question is: who wore it best, the customer or the designer?

Probably the cutest thing you’ll see this week

North West and Ellen Degeneres hang out backstage

We all know North West is one of the cutest celebrity babies – if not THE cutest.

But she took the adorableness to a whole new level this week when she and telly host Ellen Degeneres were snapped backstage playing with My Little Pony.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter, two, looked more than happy to be chilling with Ellen, who also also seemed to be enjoying herself.

Proud mommy Kim, who is pregnant with her second child, shared the snap on Instagram, writing: “Who saw @TheEllenShow today? Well this is right before I went on… Northie & Ellen brushing My Little Pony’s hair lol [sic].”
