Congratulations are in order for Orange is the New Black star, Laura Prepon, following the news that she has given birth to her first child.
According to US Weekly, Laura and her fiancé were seen enjoying a celebratory meal in New York City earlier this week following the arrival of their baby daughter.
The 37-year-old, who rose to fame for her role as Donna Pinciotti on That '70s Show, confirmed she was pregnant in June of this year while appearing on Live with Kelly and Ryan.
Fans and followers have been awaiting confirmation of the child's arrival with great excitement ever since the actress confirmed she was in her third trimester during the summer.
"It's kind of weird because it sneaks up on you, you're like, 'I can't believe it's been eight months already!' And you're like, 'Oh my gosh, she needs to come out already!'" Laura told the hosts.
"But it's so wonderful, it's such a blessing. She likes it here, she's already kicking."
Laura, who is engaged to fellow actor Ben Foster, is understood to have given birth in recent weeks, but given her private nature, the name of the new arrival has yet to be revealed.
The always delightful Ashton Kutcher acted as a guest host on Live With Kelly! this week and took the opportunity to call out a former co-star.
Ashton grilled his friend, and former star of That 70s Show, Laura Prepon about not telling him that she got engaged!
“She just announced this engagement. I had to find out in the news! And she’s my friend, and it’s weird like that!” Ashton joked to Kelly.
We say he joked, but part of us thinks he was genuinely annoyed by the situation…
Laura was then welcomed on stage, where Ashton continued with the so-called gag!
“I am so pissed off at you,” he growled at her. “Pre, this is unacceptable. This kind of thing is unacceptable” he said to the Orange Is The New Black star.
“Kutch … I know, but if anyone understands the private lives, you do. You get it” the 36-year-old shot back.
By the end of the interview, the two actors were pals again, and the well-wishes were flowing!
Laura got engaged to Ben Foster last week, after just three months of dating!
It was just last night that one of our fave Orange Is The New Black stars, Samira Wiley, got engaged to the show's writer.
And now it's been confirmed that the series main star, Laura Prepon has also said 'yes'!
Laura is tying the knot with Ben Foster after a whirlwind romance, Us Weekly reports. They only began their relationship back in July.
The actress showed off her engagement ring last night at the LA premiere of The Girl on the Train – and it was actually their red carpet debut as a couple too.
Laura placed her hand on Ben's arm in order to show off her round-cut diamond gold band.
This will be the first marriage for both stars, and we're totally delighted for them.
In case you were not aware, Tom Cruise is not just an A-list Hollywood actor, he’s also a devout member of the church of Scientology.
In a new tell-all interview, one former Scientologist has come forward with some shocking insight into the goings-on of the church. One very intriguing he claim he makes is that Tom Cruise kicked his own niece out their family and sent her across the country to do “penance” for her sin.
The sin in question? Kissing a boy. She was a 14-year old at the time.
Radar Online reports the former member who has come forward is Nick Lister who has been banned from Scientology. Nick describes how 10 years ago he came to know Tom’s niece, Jamie, when he worked as a teaching assistant at Scientology’s school in Clearwater, Florida.
Nick says the two were “really, really good friends” and he noticed “she was always just very upset”.
In the interview Nick, now 27, explains: “One night she breaks down, crying, she had talked to her mom earlier that day and she said, ‘I really want to be back with the family.'”
Nick Lister reveals the family's troubled past
Unfortunately her mom was not in a forgiving mood, Nick added: “I think she had seen her mom once in two years.”
Jamie had to “petition” to her family to allow her to move back home, but her uncle Tom rejected her several times.
Nick explained her offence, saying:
“She made out with a boy on Tom Cruise’s property… It was caught by the cameras. Security all Scientologists — if you don’t believe me, ask Katie Holmes — they reported to Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise decides it’s unbecoming…for a Scientologist in his family to do such a thing and he kept her from family functions”
He continued that it wasn’t the decision of the church to send Jamie away from her family:
“The Church did not say, ‘We don’t like what Jamie did.’ Tom Cruise didn’t like what Jamie did. He called the shots on it. He made the decision on behalf of his sister, or disregarding his sister, to take her daughter away from her.”
Tom isn't the only famous face to be linked to the Scientology religion, recently Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon gave a detailed interview with Celebrity Magazine. That is the publication of choice for celebrity Scientologists according to Gawker.
The third season of the Emmy award-winning series Orange Is The New Black has now been released on Netflix – a full six hours ahead of schedule.
The uproarious drama was set to be shared on the streaming site this evening, but Netflix delighted OITNB fans this morning when it announced over Twitter that the series was live.
Attention inmates! Orange Is the New Black season 3 is out on early release. #OrangeCon
Safe to say we know what we’ll be doing this weekend!
This dark and gritty yet hilariously real drama-comedy has proved a huge hit with audiences since being unveiled two years ago.
So what's its sercret? Firstly, it is one of very few shows that competes at the top of the ‘quality TV’ genre that has a cast made up of almost entirely women.
While many shows have strong leading female women (think House Of Cards and Breaking Bad) that are the driving forces in the show, they still, to a certain extent, are there to play counterpart to the predominantly male leads.
While Claire Underwood and Skyler White are undoubtedly the portrayal of sound reason and logic in their respective shows, it is still the characters played by Kevin Spacey and Bryan Cranston that take the lead.
But not in Orange is the New Black. With a cast that boasts a host of totally diverse women, and characters with real depth, the show brings a sense of brutal realism to its audience.
The show is based on the 2010 memoir of Piper Kerman, whose seemingly perfect middle-class life was interrupted when she had to serve a 12-month prison sentence for drug offences that were committed years earlier.
So where are we now?
At the end of season two Piper (Taylor Schilling) had ratted on her former lover Alex (Laura Prepon). Vee (Lorraine Toussaint) had escaped from prison, only to be run over by another fugitive.
We can’t wait to see where season 3 is going to pick up from. So, cancel all your weekend plans, the OITNB race is on!
Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon has admitted that she used to live in a brothel. The actress who’s kept tight-lipped until now told David Letterman about her experience.
Tom Cruise is apparently still very much on the market. The actor’s representatives have dismissed reports that the star has been dating actress, Laura Prepon.
The rumours began that the two scientologists were dating, after reports claimed that Tom and Laura have been secretly a couple for the last five months.
But Cruise’s rep. has revealed that reports of a romance are false. That not only was he not dating Laura, but he has never even met the Orange is the New Black, star.
This also goes against reports, that Tom was spotted taking Laura out for dinner in L.A.
