Four months after welcoming baby Maxwell to the world, Jessica Simpson is opening up about the pressure to drop the baby weight in a nanosecond. The new mama appeared on the premiere of Katie Couric's new Katie show and spoke very candidly about how some celebrities are praised for getting their "size 0" bodies back almost immediately after their pregnancies. Jessica explained that she wants to set a good example for her daughter, and wants to make sure she isn't allowing tabloid expectations to bring her down. See how she addresses the matter and tell us: is there too much pressure to lose the baby weight or is it being blown out of proportion?

Justin Bieber Celebrates Fashion's Night Out With Anna, Brooklyn, and Chace!

Justin Bieber wasn't the only one making the girls scream outside NYC's Madison Avenue Dolce & Gabbana boutique — we also witnessed a couple excited fans lose it as they saw Anna Wintour walk in!

Justin Bieber wasn't the only one making the girls scream outside NYC's Madison Avenue Dolce & Gabbana boutique — we also witnessed a couple excited fans lose it as they saw Anna Wintour walk in! Anna and Justin joined Brooklyn Decker, Chace Crawford, and Usher yesterday for the brand's Fashion's Night Out bash. The evening had a "passionate duo" theme in celebration of their new lipstick line, and platonic and romantic couples were there aplenty. Justin had his manager, Scooter Braun, on hand while Jeff Gordon had wife Ingrid Vandebosch, Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle stuck together, and Leann Rimes showed PDA with Eddie Cibrian. Justin stuck around to sign the purchases of a few lucky fans, but later wrote on Twitter, "That place was a zoo!" Justin also shared a photo of himself, Scooter, and Usher, dubbing them the "three musketeers."

Katie Couric vs. Ricki Lake: Who Should Be the Next Queen of Daytime?

There's a job opening for a noncertified therapist to the masses!

There's a job opening for a noncertified therapist to the masses! Oprah may have mentored Tyra Banks, but Tyra's finished with talk shows. Gayle King, editor at large for O magazine, best friend to Oprah, and current talk show host on OWN seems like an apparent heir, but is not. At least not according to ABC, who's losing its daytime queen, and NBC, who's circling above to swoop in and fill the daytime void.

Nobody can replace Oprah, but networks hope to launch the next big talk show. Katie Couric's contract with CBS expires in June, and the word is she's met with NBC and ABC to discuss talk shows. After spending five years as the anchor of CBS Evening News, she seems like a serious choice, but Katie always shined best in the morning as cohost of Today.

Meanwhile, Ricki Lake remains a contender. She's been trying to get a talk show since 2005, the year after her first long-running one ended. After discussing it on Oprah and The View late last year, she's been getting serious interest from the three major networks.

Personally, I would like to see the two, among others, duke it out in a competitive reality show called America's Next Daytime Queen, but no network will take my tweets. So until then the choices are Katie and Ricki — who's yours?

Love Every Inch of What You've Got!

I love, love Ellen DeGeneres.

I love, love Ellen DeGeneres. She's incredibly funny, so inspiring, and her positivity is infectious. I also love that Ellen is a CoverGirl spokeswoman. Her unconventional look (and let's be real — age) are not typically what you see splashed up on a billboard, which is refreshing.

In a recent interview Ellen had with Katie Couric, I fell in love with her a little bit more. She talked about her reasons for going vegan and wanting to feel connected to the food she eats. She also spent a long time talking about the pressure women have on them to be a size zero.

"We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy. If you're healthy, it's got nothing to do with how much you weigh."
