Isla Fisher on the cover of the May issue. (Gavin Bond/Fitness)At 5’2”, the tiny-framed Isla Fisher is the picture of petite (especially considering she’s often photographed with her 6’3” actor husband Sacha Baron Cohen), but the 37-year-old admits in the latest issue of Fitness magazine that certain body parts, er, ballooned when she packed on extra pounds for her part in the upcoming film "The Great Gatsby."

"I gained weight for that role because Myrtle, the character I play, is supposed to be heavyset. So I ate lots of protein, and I gained 15 pounds. It mainly manifested itself in my boobs, which was very exciting. Sadly, that's gone now."

In the interview the mom of two also documents the weight gain – and loss – she experienced during her pregnancies with daughters Olive and Elula, now 5 and 2.

Rumors that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are splitting after 31 years of marriage continued to snowball on Monday, thanks to multiple media outlets reporting that Sharon had been staying in a hotel and was spotted moving out of the couple’s home earlier this month. But there’s one person who is adamantly denying the reports: the couple’s 27-year-old son Jack.

"..it's all bullshit. Last time I check a lot of British news papers weren't amazing sources of accurate information. Moving on…"

The British paper Osbourne is referring to is most likely The Sun, which, on Sunday, reported that the couple moved out of their shared home and are staying in separate places two miles from each other, Ozzy in a rented mansion and Sharon at the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel while waiting for her new home to be renovated.

Prince Jackson and his princess. (Splash News)When you're first name is Prince, more might be expected of you than the average Joe. And Prince Jackson, son of late pop star Michael Jackson, is living up to his name: The 16-year-old was spotted out with a princess this week.

According to TMZ, the girl's name is Remi Alfalah and she's a Kuwaiti princess who attends the prestigious Buckley School with Jackson, who also has a part-time gig as a correspondent on "Entertainment Tonight."

So what was the venue for the royal(ish) date? A fancy restaurant? A chartered yacht? Actually, a bowling alley.

Roger Ebert and wife Chaz. (Jason Merrirr/Getty Images)For Roger Ebert, there was one person in his life who got a perennial thumbs up: his wife Chaz.

The fabled film critic found the love of his life relatively late in life, after spending most of his adult years as a bachelor (and even once going on a date with Oprah Winfrey). The woman he'd marry at age 50 would become his best friend and life partner right away, and after Ebert's cancer diagnosis more than a decade ago, would become his liaison to concerned fans (often using humor to share bad news) and the rock he leaned on throughout his illness, until the day he died.

“I am devastated by the loss of my love, Roger -- my husband, my friend, my confidante and oh-so-brilliant partner of over 20 years,” Chaz said via a statement on Thursday. “We had a lovely, lovely life together, more beautiful and epic than a movie. It had its highs and the lows, but was always experienced with good humor, grace and a deep abiding love for each other."

So who was Chaz Ebert and why was her relationship with Roger so special? Read on for a peek inside their marriage.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith on April 3. (J. Countess/Getty Images)When it comes to their marriage, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have heard it all.

He's gay.

She's gay.

She cheated with a co-star.

They're divorcing.

They have an open marriage.

Jada Pinkett Smith address that last rumor (which she calls "the most persistent") this week when she was interviewed on HuffPost Live.

When asked if there's truth to the statement that she and Smith have an open marriage, the 41-year-old responded with, "No. I think people get that idea because will and I are very relaxed with one another." The 41-year-old explained that the rumors also stem from how she's answered questions in past about dealing with other women when she's married to a big superstar. Then things got a little more ambiguous: "My answer is always, 'I've always told Will, you can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay. Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa."

Biggie's childhood apartment. (Zillow)

If you were to describe what you think the Notorious B.I.G.'s childhood home in Brooklyn, New York, looks like, chances are you wouldn't include terms like "stainless steel appliances," "crown molding," or "granite countertops."

While those upgrades might not have been part of the 972-square-foot unit when the late rapper grew up there back in the '70s, they are now. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath third-floor apartment recently hit the market, according to real estate website Zillow, with an asking price that the building's famous former resident (who wrote songs about growing up in the ghetto) probably never could have imagined: $725,000, or about $745 per square foot.

Kevin James' estate is for sale for $5.5 Million (Redfin)

It's pretty fitting that actor Kevin James made his fortune on the hit sitcom "King of Queens" because it looks like the actor has certainly been living like a king in recent years.

The 47-year-old has put his 11,291-square-foot Los Angeles-area mansion on the market for $5.495 million, according to real estate website Redfin. And a peek inside shows an over-the-top home that appears better suited for some of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" than for the burly star of "Paul Blart: Mall Cop."
