Ariel Winter

1. Another disturbing development in the Modern Family abuse story. Last week we reported that 14-year-old star Ariel Winter was removed from her mother after reports of physical and emotional abuse. Now reports are suggesting the actor’s mother “starved her” on the set of Modern Family.

TMZ has reported that Winter’s mother Chrystal Workman was banned from the set of Modern Family because “the abuse was evident to producers”.

According to the Huffington Post: “Workman berated the actress for her physical appearance, saying her ears were too big and she looked ugly in her clothes, and also heavily monitored her diet — allegedly allowing her to eat only egg whites and raw vegetables.” (There’s also been suggestions that crew member would sneak Winter toasted cheese sandwiches.) Her mother has denied the “ridiculous” claims.

Ariel Winter was removed from her mother last month and placed in the care of her 34-year-old sister. According to US media, her mother has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Ariel at all times.

2. Celebrity baby news: Wait, they called him what? Really?

3. Tell us: Would you wear it? Kristen Stewart arrived at the London premiere of Breaking Dawn – Part 2 wearing a sheer Zuhair Murad bodysuit (and Robert Pattinson, well she’s not actually wearing him but you see our point, he’s an excellent accessory).

4. Move over Bradley Cooper, you’re so 2011. This year’s Sexiest Man Alive is………….

5. Offspring star Asher Keddie is in love again and she’s talking about it. The 38-year-old actress has attended the GQ Man of the Year Awards with well-known artist Vincent Fantauzzo.

Keddie, who broke up with her husband of five years Jay Bowen last year, met the Fantauzzo when he painted her portrait. (A portrait. Like with paint, and not the computer version).

Fantauzzo has also painted celebrities such as Heath Ledger and Matt Moran (who introduced him to Keddie). “We knew next to nothing about each other to begin with,” Keddie said. “I knew he was an artist and I knew of his work. But that was it. He didn’t know who I was. I don’t think he had seen any of my shows.” Keddie’s new partner split with his wife last year. They have a 2 year old son, Luca.

6. Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter overdoses on heroin. Police were called to the 19-year-old’s college after she was found unresponsive. You can read the full details of the story here.

“I bought this for my husband and I for our one year wedding anniversary. We had so much fun getting “dirty” and rolling around in the paint,” a testimonial on the Love is Art website read.

For between $60 and $110, you get a plastic sheet to protect your floor, a specially treated cotton canvas, disposable slippers and a bottle of specially formulated paint in either red, white or monochromatic tints like copper and silver.

The rest is up to you, your partner and your bodies. When complete, the canvas can be stretched, framed and mounted on a wall. Or wrapped up and gifted – it is almost Christmas, after all. You could definitely say it’s been ‘made with love’ (Badoom-ching!)

And here’s what the finished product might look like in your living room:

    Guys- the article you linked says Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter was ARRESTED for POSSESSION of heroin. Not overdosed!

    Big difference. So which one is it?

    Thank heavens this is the end of the Twilight saga! And I mean that as in the most nightmarishly-drawn-out-torture type saga.

    I never want to hear about those two or look at them again!!! Ugh!

    When the Australian iVillage site was announced, Mamamia readers were assured that it would be business as usual. But I’ve noticed a gradual increase in content drawn from iVillage articles. I don’t mind when it’s some extra links at the end of a Fluff piece, which is really just suggested further reading, but the way they have been incorporated into today’s Fluff is frustrating. Why bother listing anything that I have to click through to another site to read, and listing it as a complete entry? I like getting a quick fix of gossip, and like to have a link to a more complete article if I want to read more. But the way that we are being re-directed to iVillage in order to find out the end of a sentence is disingenuous. If I want to read iVillage, then I’ll go there, it’s not why I come to Mamamia!

    I have to admit, I’m blushing just looking at that body art. Imagine being at a friends house and seeing it – how could your mind possibly not go there? I’m not sure I’d want to have a pic like that in my own house actually – how do you sit with your parents over visiting knowing what the artwork behind them on the wall is!

    That said, I think the artwork looks good – I just don’t think I could break the association with it in my head, and if a friend had it I would not want them to tell me how they got it!
