When chatting with comedian/actor Russell Brand, it'd be wise to prepare for anything - including hip thrusts.

"I just do that every so often," he explained as he gave a demonstration for CNN. "I’m obliged to - I’ve got a contract with Warner Bros. studios that every 30 seconds or so I have to ... like dogs do!" he exclaimed while laughing, and, um, thrusting.

You'll also catch some of his hip action in the upcoming "Rock Of Ages," in which the 36-year-old stars alongside Alec Baldwin, whom he also got the chance to kiss.

Baby will soon make three for “True Blood” on-and-off-screen couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, and Paquin showed off her growing bump recently in Los Angeles.

The pair attended the red carpet premiere for season 5 of HBO’s epic vampire saga, and though the 29-year-old Oscar winner stayed mum about the couple’s first child together, Moyer was a bit more vocal.

It probably helps that the 42-year-old has been to this rodeo before, having already had two other children from a previous relationship.

Kim Kardashian caused tongues to cluck after she declared that she thinks Indian food is "disgusting" on Sunday's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"  - and it seems some took it as a diss to Indian people and culture overall.

But Kimmy K. insists ruffling feathers was not her intent, issuing a statement Tuesday on her blog designed to clean up the verbal mess.

“In NO way was this intended as an insult to the Indian people or their culture. This is just my own personal taste," she wrote.

To prove her point, she added that it's not the only cuisine she doesn't crave.

“I hate cilantro and peppers, and there are definitely some Armenian foods that I personally find disgusting, but that doesn’t reflect my opinions on other Armenian people or my culture,” she said. “My comment wasn’t intended to offend anybody. We all have our own opinions and tastes and I was simply expressing mine.”

According to the U.K.'s Guardian, Winehouse's Camden Square apartment in northwest London is up for sale to the tune of £2.7 million, or $4.2 million.

A spokesperson for the family told The Sun that the decision was made with "great regret," but the family felt it would be inappropriate for any of them to move in.
