Mindy Kaling on Her New Year Diet Plan

Tara Sharp — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:57:37 PST

Freshly minted author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? Mindy Kaling made an appearance on Conan last night, and she dished that her New Year's resolution was a new diet plan. Mindy's approach to losing weight in the new year is to stop eating by 4 p.m., which she admits can hinder any chance of a dating or evening social life. It's also been making her cranky in the morning, but the funny writer's assessment is that "if you look good enough, no one cares if you're really unpleasant." Watch the clip below!

Natalie Portman Makes Her Postbaby Event Debut!

Allie Merriam — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 08:11:06 PST

Natalie Portman made one her first public appearances last night after welcoming her son, Aleph Millepied, earlier this year. Joining other stars like Mindy Kaling, director Jason Reitman, and Steve Carell, Natalie participated in the Film Independent At LACMA series with a live reading of the 1960 Billy Wilder film The Apartment in LA. Rounding out the cast were Collette Wolfe, Jake Johnson, Pierce Brosnan, Ken Jeong, and Nick Kroll. Mindy tweeted about Natalie's good looks postbaby with her characteristic humor. She wrote, "Surprised to see Steve Carell and Natalie Portman both looking like teenagers. Ugh, so unfair - kill me."

Natalie has been on the West Coast with her young son Aleph as well as her fiancé Benjamin Millepied. The family of three caught up with West Coast-based friends following a whirlwind Fall of traveling that included time in NYC, France, and Switzerland. Natalie and Benjamin have made sure to offer Aleph some culture while in California and were seen showing him the Huntington Library and gardens just a few weeks ago.

Katie Henry — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 11:32:21 PST

LA's Chateau Marmont hosted Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Hailee Steinfeld and more for a private dinner thrown by Elle magazine's creative director Joe Zee and Tod's last night. Justin joined girlfriend Jessica for the chic soiree, but over the weekend he stepped out for a date with another lucky lady. Staying true to his word, JT accompanied Corporal Kelsey DeSantis to this year's Marine Corps Ball. He later described the experience as "moving" and his date admitted JT "brought sexy back" when he hit the dance floor.

At last night's event, Hailee was all smiles in a black Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony laser cut frock and Jessica chose a gray dress from designer Roland Mouret. Inside the party, good-looking guys Jon and Justin chatted before dinner while The Office's Mindy Kaling chatted with friends. It's been an exciting week for Mindy, who partied on Monday with Nicole Richie, Busy Philipps, and Jimmy Kimmel at a celebration for her new book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?.

Mindy Kaling Hangs With Nicole and Jon, Shares Her "Tongue in Cheek" Relationship Advice

Katie Henry — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 12:08:00 PST

Mindy Kaling hosted friends and costars at the Roosevelt Hotel in LA last night for a party to celebrate her book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, thrown by Glamour magazine's editor in chief Cindi Leive. She was joined by The Office's B.J. Novak and Jenna Fischer, who were out showing support along with Nicole Richie, Busy Philipps, and Anna Faris. Handsome Men's club members Jon Hamm and Jimmy Kimmel also stopped by the celebration to toast Mindy, who looked lovely in a black and silver Hervé Leger cocktail dress. Mindy took a few minutes to chat with us about her memoir, dating, and how the men in her life have reacted to her advice. She said:

Mindy on giving relationship advice: "I think I'm always nervous, because I'm just a comedian and I've had like three boyfriends in my life. So when I dispense advice about relationships it's always like mostly tongue and cheek. I just think it's irresponsible [to give advice], but I love the idea of being like Ann Landers to somebody. But for me it's like more about the comedy essays and memoir."
Mindy on straying from the original title of the book, Contents of My Purse: "The Contents of My Purse is very blog centraled, and more about shopping, which is one of my great passions obviously. After I saw how much memoir it was and how many personal essays and comedy essays [were there], it didn't seem apt. Although, maybe i do have a book in me called Contents of My Purse somewhere."
Mindy's pick for outstanding men: "Clive Owen is a pretty awesome guy, Sacha Baron Cohen is pretty amazing, who else do I love, and Steve Jobs. Those are pretty universally loved men."
Mindy on great advice from her mom: "My mom has always said you have to be your own best friend. Which really means like no matter what, you have to be your own person giving you the tough advice when nobody else does."
Mindy on omitting the chapter about B.J. Novak: "It's very hard because I have a great working friendship and professional relationship with B.J. . . . and I would never want to jeopardize that. . . So maybe one day, maybe when he dies [kidding.]"
Mindy on how the men in her life have reacted to the book: "My advice is so general, if you really look at it, it's like, 'Offer to help doing the dishes,' and 'Own a pair of dark jeans.' Pretty low hanging fruit - so if you can't accomplish those things you're probably not someone I know."

Watch Kelly and Erin's Latest Video From Subtle Sexuality, "The Girl Next Door"

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 06 May 2011 11:27:34 PDT

In case you didn't know, Mindy Kaling and Ellie Kemper's The Office characters Kelly and Erin have a faux girl band on the side called Subtle Sexuality. They had one of my favorite songs and viral videos last year with "Male Prima Donna," and they've done it again with "The Girl Next Door."

The song and video are both inspired by Taylor Swift - Kelly is the bespectacled nerd with a crush on Ryan, and Erin is the glamour girl he lusts after (I love that Kelly's glasses are just like Swift's in the "You Belong With Me" video). It's catchy and goofy, and like the last song, "Ry" Howard (B.J. Novak) has the best verse - watch it when you

Liv and Steven Tyler Have a Super Night of Father-Daughter Bonding

Allie Merriam — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:47:28 PDT

Liv Tyler had her American Idol judge father, Steven, on her arm for the LA premiere of her new movie Super last night. The Aerosmith frontman has been busy promoting his Fox program and bonding with his new buds Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez, but he seemed happy to support his daughter's big evening and even show some paternal PDA. Her costars in the indie superhero film Ellen Page and Rainn Wilson also stepped onto the red carpet, and later Rainn and Liv tore up the dance floor with their crazy moves. Liv has been focusing on her East Coast social schedule recently alongside her rumored boyfriend Theo Wenner, who is both the son of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner and a photographer who memorably shot Robert Pattinson for Dossier magazine in 2009.

Rachel Zoe threw on a Ports 1961 dress last night to attend Elle's Women in TV dinner at LA's Soho House, hosted by Joe Zee, with her adorable husband Rodger Berman. The super stylist was joined on the red carpet by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders, and a curve-showing Sofia Vergara, who just revealed that she's designing a line for K-Mart. True Blood's Sam Trammell balanced out the ladies, as did Sofia's Modern Family costar Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The celebs all mingled inside, and Sofia snapped a photo of her good times with Sam and Jesse. Rachel, meanwhile, dished about the foods she's loving while pregnant. She said, "I really enjoy things that are tart, like strawberries and grapefruit. . . Sour things like that, but nothing really weird."
