Robin Thicke Takes Son Julian To Work [PHOTOS]

SPOTTED: Robin Thicke and his adorable 2-year-old son Julian at The Grove in Los Angeles. Daddy was there to interview with Mario Lopez of Extra while Julian watched from the sidelines. Afterwards, Robin planted a sweet smooch on his son as the two walked off to their car.

The Duets co-host and soulful musician recently told the Kansas City Star that Julian is growing up in his father’s talented footsteps already:  “[Julian] has incredible pitch. He wakes up every morning and before he even cries to be taken out of his crib, the first thing he does is sing. He just kind of lies there in his crib and sings songs for a little while.”

Like father, like son!

Teresa Giudice Loves Her Man! [PHOTOS]

SPOTTEDTeresa Giudiceis on the west coast this week promoting her latest cookbook: “Fabulicious!: Fast & Fit.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey and Celebrity Apprentice star stopped by The Grove in Beverly Hills yesterday for an appearance on EXTRA with Maria Menounos.
Teresa has also been busy of late dismissing some rumors swirling around about her and her husband. On this week’s episode of RHONJ, Teresa was portrayed to be a victim of her husband’s anger. But Teresa sees things differently.

“I am not thrilled about the way Joe was talking to me in the car but I also know he was frustrated and emotional,” Teresa wrote in her Bravo blog. “Yes, some Jersey guys talk like that when they’re upset. I don’t like it, and I tell him that. But it’s how he grew up and it’s everywhere.” Teresa continued her justifications,  “I married a man, I love my man, and he loves me and 99 percent of the time he speaks very sweetly to me, he’s never violent or cruel, and he’s a great dad.”

Teresa also wants us to all know, despite the infidelity rumors swirling around her husband, Joe is her man. “He’s amazing… No one has come forward to say anything,” she said on Access Hollywood. “The last picture that was taken with him and a woman was my makeup artist and I was ten feet away. She was dancing with Joe and I was dancing with her husband.”

Jessica Sanchez: “Phillip Phillips Deserved To Win” [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

Jessica Sanchez is a big fan of American Idol winner Phillip Phillips. The Idol runner-up told reporters right after the finale: “I really think that Phillip deserves to win and I’m so happy for him…He has his funny side and his humble side and he’s just an amazing, original artist.”

Well, Ms. Sanchez, can’t we say the same about you? Having met you now on several occasions I can honestly say they don’t come any more funny or humble or talented than you do. Not to mention cute. Congrats!

Jessica was spotted at The Grove in Los Angeles the day after the Idol finale, telling Mario Lopez of Extra that right before Ryan Seacrest announced the winner, Jessica whispered in Phillip’s ear that he was going to win. Jessica also told Rolling Stone that she was not surprised that Phillips won. “Not at all – he has such a big fan base. We both do. We both thank our fans so much. But he’s a real “artist” artist. He always sounds like him. He sang so many different songs and always sounded like himself. I’m so proud of him, and I’m glad it was him,” Jessica said.
Well, I am proud of you and I wish you could have won as well.

Emily Maynard Names Front-Runners On The Bachelorette [PHOTOS]

Maynard would not tell Lopez if she found love or got engaged on the show but she recently told reporters that she “was happy before the show, but really happy now.”

“I had a million reservations [about being the next Bachelorette] and I said no to anybody who would listen. But time went on, we started talking again, and they were so accommodating that it was [too] great an opportunity to pass up,” the 26-year-old single mom said.

“I had a great group of guys. I had the time of my life and learned so much about myself,” Maynard added. “It was the best experience getting to travel and to give Ricki the opportunity to see things she wouldn’t have otherwise.”

When asked who the front-runners are, Emily named a few of the men including Sean, Ari, and Jef…but she wouldn’t divulge any more than that!
