Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Design Sparkly, Slithery Things
When you're as shiny as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it would stand to reason that you would create shiny things too, right?
Hollywood's most golden couple have teamed with high-end jeweler Asprey for a capsule collection called the Protector, according to Women's Wear Daily. The shimmering gold and silver accessories are inspired by snakes.
You know, because nothing says precious metals and stones like slithering creatures. And dudes with really hideous beards.
The limited-edition collection hits stores this week, with prices starting at $525 for a silver baby spoon. Proceeds benefit Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Angie cofounded.
Apparently, the mega mama received a snake ring just before giving birth to Shiloh and she considered it a protector of her family.
Speaking of families, you'll never guess who else is designing glittery baubles?
Kourtney Kardashian Showered!
Just as Khlomar's wedding excitement is dying down (or is it?), it's time to pack Kourtney Kardashian's hospital bags.
The E! star is expecting her little boy with boyfriend Scott Disick next month, and today it was time to shower the upcoming arrival.
Sisters Kim, Kendall and Kylie, as well as pals from college and beyond, gathered at Kris and Bruce Jenner's home in Calabasas at noon. In true Kardashian fabulousness, both Kourtney and Khloé arrived fashionably late.
A sign hung in the window of the sisters' clothing boutique, Dash, announcing that the store would be closed Saturday, and was signed with x's and o's.
No word yet as to how many rolls of toilet paper it took to wrap the mom-to-be's belly completely or if there was a diaper tutorial at the baby bash.

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard Keep Their Distance
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have moved in together, but you wouldn't know it by the way they acted last night!
Kristen was hosting a Maxim party for Assassin's Creed II at Voyeur but walked the red carpet without her funnyman.
Could it be because Dax has no game? "He doesn't play video games," Kristen told E! News. "He doesn't have the motor skills!"
Even inside the bash her beau kept his distance.
"They were on opposite ends of the room," a partyer says, noting Kristen's man also refused to take any photos with her. Some boyfriend!
Also rolling without his significant other at the soirée was Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy...
Kourtney Kardashian: I'm Sick of Gaining Weight
Khloé Kardashian isn't the only member of her family facing weighty issues.
Big sis Kourtney Kardashian, 30, admits she's nervous about gaining too many pounds during pregnancy. "I weigh myself every day," she told us at the Kardashian Charity Knock Out event in L.A. earlier this week. "I've gained 26 pounds since getting pregnant, except I gained three pounds since yesterday."
Being eight months pregnant and understandably bigger than usual hasn't stopped the E! reality starlet from conquering a red carpet in heels. But it sounds like Monday's event could be Kourt's last until after she gives birth...
Update
More Charges Filed Against Prolific Hollywood Burglar Bunch
UPDATE: The L.A. District Attorney's Office has charged four more people with felony residential burglary and upped the number of counts 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo of Calabasas is facing to seven.
Fellow suspects Alexis Neiers, 18, Roy Lopez Jr., 27, and Courtney Leigh Ames, 18, are facing one count apiece, while Diana Tamayo, 19, is facing two

Good thing the Los Angeles Police Department isn't as sensitive to awkward topics as Lindsay Lohan is.
Adding to the ever-growing list of celebrity victims of the bizarre student burglar ring, the LAPD announced that Ashley Tisdale, Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were the latest stars to have their home heists linked to the fashion-forward hooligans.
Fashion Face-Off: Kourtney vs. Kim Kardashian
Two Kardashian sisters, one H&M dress.
Kim wore this white sheath to a Maxim party first, and then Kourtney borrowed it to wear to her younger sister's Sin City birthday soiree.
Can you believe that preggers Kourt can wear Kim's dress? Thank goodness for spandex!
Both girls opted for bare legs and black pumps, but Kim rocked a slicked back 'do, green eyeshadow and hot-pink nails.
Kourt, however, kept it a little more traditional. The oldest Kardashian sis left her long locks flowing, added a chunky necklace and showed off her best accessory: a baby bump!
Which sibling looked most stylish in the dress?

Khloé Kardashian Cheers on Lamar Odom, Lakers
What a good way to start a season, not to mention a marriage.
Along with sister Kim, Khloé Kardashian came out to support her new hubby, Lamar Odom, as the Los Angeles Lakers won their home opener against the Clippers, 99-92.
The team also received their NBA championship rings for last season, which also got things off to a good start for the Lakers.
Obviously superstar Lamar's got game off the court with Khloé, but we wanted to know whether he was nervous about having the wife watching him at work?
Not so much.
"I've been playing for thousands of people all my life," Lamar told me at his Rich Soil clothing line launch last week. "The beautiful thing about basketball is it’s an intimate game, so you feed off the energy. You feed off the crowd all the time."

Keeping Up With Kourtney Kardashian's Burglar
This is not something a thisclose-to-popping pregnant woman should be dealing with.
Kourtney Kardashian and baby daddy Scott Disick returned from dinner around 8:30 Saturday night to find their gated Calabasas townhouse had been broken into and several high-priced baubles MIA.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman tells E! News that about $108,000 worth of stuff was swiped, including Kardashian's $30,000 Cartier watch and Disick's Rolex.
Some more sentimental items were also looted, including several pieces of vintage jewelry left to Kourtney by her late father, O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian.
The loss total could go up, as Kourtney continues to go through her ransacked home.

"Honestly, I just lost weight!" the E! reality star told us earlier today while she and sister Kim helped launch the Quick Trim diet line at a GNC in Los Angeles.
"I want to be a skinny pregnant person, like how my sister Kourtney looks so cute pregnant. I can't be a house [after] I just lost weight."
Even so, Khloé will always have her critics—no matter how much she weighs…
