Oldest sibling Kourtney gave birth to daughter Penelope Scotland on Sunday morning in Los Angeles with longtime boyfriend Scott Disick by her side. The 7-pound, 14-ounce bundle of joy joins big brother Mason, 2. "Scott and I are overjoyed to welcome our precious angel Penelope Scotland Disick into our lives," the 33-year-old reality star tells E! News. "We are forever blessed. Mommy and baby are resting comfortably."

After the Playmate-turned-reality star welcomed son Hank IV in December 2009, she struggled to shed the 60 pounds she put on during pregnancy and regain the sexy shape (and those abs!) that made her famous as one of Hugh Hefner's three girlfriends on E!'s "Girls Next Door." "I looked in the mirror and I said, 'I'm fat,'" Wilkinson told ABC News last year when discussing her battle with not only trying to drop the baby weight but postpartum depression as well. So she is especially sensitive to the microscope Simpson is under as she tries to lose the more than 70 pounds she reportedly gained while pregnant with daughter Maxwell Drew.

Camilla Akrans/Harper's BazaarConservative is not a word that comes to mind when you think of Rihanna. Between the racy outfits — both onstage and off — at least 17 tattoos, wild hairstyles, over-sexualized lyrics, and late-night partying, the singer comes off as very rebellious. But she insists she's not like that in all aspects of her life. "I have been conservative in my love life … it's pretty much nonexistent," Rihanna says in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar, despite her very public romances with Chris Brown, Drake, and baseball star Matt Kemp. "If I come across someone who I find really cool, I'll hang out. But the minute I find that we're getting too close, I just — I don't let people in."

(Steve Granitz/WireImage)Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin usually go to great lengths not to be seen in public together, yet at Coldplay's sold-out show in Miami last week, the singer planted a big kiss on his wife in front of 20,000 fans at the American Airlines Arena. The sweet gesture happened just after the band finished playing their first-ever hit song, "Yellow," which 35-year-old Martin dedicated to his "incredible wife." He then jumped off the stage and ran through the crowd until he got to Paltrow's seat. After the smooch, the audience roared with applause as the Oscar-winning actress, 39, laughed and hid her face in embarrassment as those around her snapped pictures with the phones.

Clarkson gets Lucky. (Ben Watts/Lucky Magazine)Kelly Clarkson has built a successful career singing about being "Miss Independent" and "Stronger" without a guy in her life. And all those hit songs — and no boyfriends — led to rampant rumors that she in fact was into women. But now, Clarkson is finally addressing the speculation. "Oh, there's all those rumors that I'm a lesbian," she tells Lucky in its first-ever music issue. "I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock, my manager Narvel's son, Reba McEntire's stepson." Her new man was on hand for her recent 30th birthday on April 24 … and what did the happy couple do to mark the milestone? "We went turkey shooting," she tells the mag. "It's what I wanted to do, so we went."

Renner on Esquire. (Nigel Parry)Even though Jeremy Renner has solidified his place in Hollywood with starring roles in "The Avengers" and "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" — not to mention his Oscar nomination for "The Hurt Locker" — he's still keeping his day job. The 41-year-old actor has been making a mint flipping more than 15 homes in the Los Angeles area since 2002. His latest project? A Beverly Hills mega-mansion he bought at an IRS auction and has spent the past year completely gutting. When he's all done with renovations, Renner plans to list the 11-bedroom property for at least $25 million. "I'm very lucky," he says in the August issue of Esquire. "I could have pretty easily been driving a forklift."

Willow at BET Awards. (Allen Berezovsky/WireImage)Willow Smith may not be able to whip her hair back and forth anymore, but the 11-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett is still making a mark in music. On Sunday, Willow debuted the video for her new song, "I Am Me," a ballad about celebrating her unique look, which is often mocked. In it, the tween, who has a shaved head, wanders around New York City in an oversized yellow-and-white polka dot shirt and stops in various locations to play her keyboard and sing for the camera. Although the song is pretty simple (the chorus repeats: "I am me/I am free/That's all I can be"), Willow's powerful pipes are quite impressive for her age.

Bieber, the grad. (George Pimentel/WireImage)Justin Bieber may think the Sistine Chapel is actually called the "Sixteenth Chapel," but he's now officially a high school graduate. The "Boyfriend" singer received a diploma from St. Michael Catholic Secondary School in his Canadian hometown of Stratford, Ontario, on June 28. Although he did not attend the ceremony, Bieber was listed amongst the 192 students in the graduation program.
