Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are still picking out a name for their daughter, whom they welcomed on Saturday, and it seems unlikely that she'll share her moniker with any other celebrity babies.

It's been almost exactly one year since Johnny Depp's split from Vanessa Paradis was confirmed in June 2012 following months of speculation that their 14-year relationship was in trouble. Shortly after, Vanessa spoke rather cryptically to Harper's Bazaar, saying, "Nothing is ever for sure, but when something in love doesn't work from the beginning, it's never going to work. Don't push it." Johnny, who has since been linked to Amber Heard, has kept quiet on the breakup until now. He's gearing up for the July release of Lone Ranger and sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about the project but also touched on his personal life.

Yesterday's LA premiere for Monsters University was full of more famous tots than a Hollywood playground. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale walked the blue carpet with their sons, Kingston and Zuma, while Alessandra Ambrosio modeled alongside her adorable daughter, Anja. Melissa Joan Hart also dropped by the bash with her son, Tucker, whom she carried into the premiere. The kid-friendly bash also drew stars from the film like Billy Crystal, Sean Hayes, and Charlie Day, who told us earlier this week that he is happy to be doing a project that "won't embarrass his parents." Check out our interview with Charlie Day, and be sure to watch our review of Monsters University to see if it's worth checking out this weekend.
Through online systems like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, stars are campaigning and asking fans to make donations toward their personal creative projects via the Internet. Today, James Franco launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund three individual films based on his book Palo Alto, a series of short stories about his hometown.

Miranda Kerr spent a sunny morning with her son, Flynn Bloom, in NYC today. It looks like Flynn may be taking tips from his model mom as he showed his big smile for the cameras during their stroll. The duo were out in the Big Apple following her whirlwind trip to South Korea last week. On Wednesday, Miranda made a promotional stop at a department store in Seoul, and on Thursday she showed off her athleticism by throwing out an honorary pitch during a baseball game.
Miranda and Flynn will have a bit of bonding time to spend together in the Big Apple since Orlando Bloom will be busy with his new Broadway gig. Orlando is set to make his Broadway debut this Fall in Romeo and Juliet, which begins previews on Aug. 24. Along with his stage duties, he'll also be hitting big screens in the next Hobbit installment — check out the new trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!

Mariah Carey wore two different tiny swimsuits while filming in Southern Italy with fellow recording artist Miguel yesterday. The pop icon showed off her fit physique when she shared a photo collage of herself in a black cutout monokini on Twitter with the caption, "Behind the scenes on set with @MiguelUnlimited!! Coming soon." As part of the shoot, Mariah and Miguel went swimming in the blue grotto, off the island of Capri, and hopped on a yacht after climbing out of the water. The duo have been spending time together since collaborating on the song "Beautiful," which was released last month and is a track off Mariah's highly anticipated 13th studio album. The album, the official title of which has yet to be released, will drop July 23.
Much of the hype may be due to Mariah's frequent Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram teases. While she announced the album release date on her personal accounts, Mariah also took to Instagram yesterday to share a personal snap of herself in blue waters with the caption: "A much needed splash after hours pon de mic singing for my beautiful lambily." In the post, she was addressing her fan base and revealed that her new work encompasses "three years of my soul." Mariah has returned to song-making after announcing last month that she will be not be returning for the next season of Fox's American Idol.
