Fluff: Hugh Jackman addresses the gay rumours.

It’s been a pretty eventful week in Planet Celebrity. Here’s all the news you need to know:

1. Awards shows everywhere! Remember when two of your school friends used to have their birthday party on the same night, just to make people choose between them? Well, that’s exactly what happened on an A-List scale when last Sunday night saw both the BAFTAs and the Grammys take place. Luckily for the organisers, there wasn’t much overlap in the guest lists (as a general rule, Chris Brown and Dame Judi Dench don’t get invited to the same parties.) Check out the red carpets below:

The BAFTAs:

The Grammys (you can judge for yourselves whether the stars followed CBS’s dress code):

2. This mum got snarky looks as she breastfed her 3 ½ year old sun on the train, she also breastfed him four to six times a night for three years.  Oh and she stars in a major prime-time sitcom that’s NOT reality TV.   Click here to read more. 

3. Here’s a sobering thought for your weekend: 4-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt is probably earning more than you.

The youngest daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt earned $3000 US a week for her role in upcoming film Maleficentaccording to a court filing of her contract. Did we mention she’s four years old?

Vivienne also received a per diem of $60 each day, which raises the question: How would the average 4-year-old spend an allowance of this size? An endless supply of Starbucks hot chocolates? A new Barbie delivered to her trailer every morning?

Vivienne appears in the live-action fairytale, set for release in March 2014, as the younger version of Aurora i.e. Sleeping Beauty. Her mum Angelina stars as the the evil sorceress.

5. Two Hollywood superstars are entering the world of parenthood a little later than the rest of us…. they’re aged 67 and 54.

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin with their wives

Actor/director Steve Martin became an OFF screen dad for the first time, at the age of 67 late last year.

Martin and his wife, Anne Stringfield, 41, reportedly welcomed their first child back in December but have kept their news quiet (an impressive feat in Hollywood) until this week.

Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin announced on Tuesday that he is set to become a dad for the second time, aged 54. The 30 Rock star married 28-year-old yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas last year and this will be their first child together.

Baldwin has a 17-year-old daughter, Ireland, from his previous marriage to actress Kim Basinger.

7. Allow us to set the scene for you: This little video combines all the goodness of Sofia Vergara, Ellen DeGeneres, an opera singer, birds and a beach ball. It’s literally laugh-out-loud funny and confirms, once again, that Sofia Vegara is one seriously good sport. Take a look:

9. And, in the weirdest call for a leadership challenge we’ve ever seen, Kevin Rudd has been filmed performing Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe.

In the video, Mr Rudd has one arm around a young woman, and a beer in the other hand. He is reciting the words to last year’s pop hit – although admittedly his companion is doing most of the singing.

The video was filmed at a barefoot bowls day, which Mr Rudd has launched to connect with youth in his electorate.

Well, the Member for Griffith won’t be winning a Grammy any time soon.
