Pet Tags

Man, I'm so irritated.

I just received four pets tags that I ordered for Bev and Mary Margaret (two for Brooklyn and two for LA) and they're all messed up. Not only did they leave off the "Margaret" on Mary Margaret's tags, but the text isn't centered correctly and runs off the right side on all four of them. (The last letter of the address is cut in half.) The tags themselves are also ugly. The edges aren't smoothed out... they look like someone just cut them from a piece of sheet metal and called it a day.

So anyway, I got them this morning on my way to Starbucks (yesterday's mail), so while I was there, I started drafting a strongly-worded letter in my head, like what I was going to say to these people when I sent them back.

And then I saw it.

In tiny print on the bottom of the invoice it said, "Our handicapped employees appreciate your order."

So now I can't send them back. If I did I'd be a total asshole.

I'm just going to order new ones from someplace else. Any recommendations?

Jessica Alba's Beverly Hills Pregancy Pampering

Looking to do some well-deserved pregnancy pampering, Jessica Alba hit up a Beverly Hills nail salon earlier today (July 6).

The 30-year-old momma-to-be showed off her bountiful baby belly in a super-form fitting white shirt and long, flowing green skirt.

During an interview for Latina magazine's first ever family issue (August 2011), Jessica opened up about the ease of this pregnancy compared to her firs,t telling, ?The first time around, every moment was so new and terrifying and now I know what to expect. It?s like ?It?s fine, I?ve been there before.? With Honor, I was constantly asking myself ?Is she moving? Is her heart beating?? I?d worry about everything, and with this baby I don?t have the same anxieties.?

As for leaving her little ones to focus on the big screen - Alba says no way, explaining, ?After I had Honor I didn?t leave the house for a while. It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do. But unless it?s worth it, I?m not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it?s not," adding that baby number three could be a possibility, ?I just have to feel it out. See how my 30s treat me. I just try to live in the moment.?

Ke$ha Touched By Fan's Tattoo

Singer tells MTV News about gay fan inspired by her song 'Animal.'

Ke$ha knows all about the perks of being a headliner. On her Get $leazy Tour, the singer gets to call all the shots, blast her fans in the face with tons of glitter and handpick which dudes she wants to party and share the stage with.

But it's not all backstage shenanigans and groupie love. When MTV News sat down with the "Blow" singer in New York earlier this week before her gig at Roseland Ballroom, Ke$ha said that amid the nightly onstage parties there have also been some poignant moments on her first headlining outing.

"Best moment? There are so many. Every night's amazing. I have kids outside right now chanting my name and it's awesome," she said of the first leg of the tour. "There was one night a fan came onstage, I invited him onstage, and he had a tattoo of the dollar sign. I was like, 'Oh, that's awesome! Badass. You're part of the cult, man.' "

And then, she said, he began to cry and explained that he was able to come out of the closet to his friends and family thanks to her song "Animal."

"And I'm standing onstage about to sing a song about growing back a pair of testicles ["Grow a Pear"] and I had tears rolling down my face and chills all over my body," she said. "Because that's really the reason I do music, to inspire people to be themselves."

Ke$ha has been a vocal supporter of the "It Gets Better" video project, which aims to help gay, bisexual and transgender youth find hope in the face of teasing and bullying.

The "Get $leazy" juggernaut continues on Saturday night with a show at Clarion University in Clarion, Pennsylvania.

'Transformers' Sequel Sets Box-Office Record

Michael Bay's third installment in the series had the highest-grossing July 4 debut ever.

There's no hiding the success of the "robots in disguise" franchise: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" enjoyed the highest-grossing Fourth of July film debut ever over the weekend. Summer sequel mania was in full swing over the Independence Day holiday as the latest "Transformers" movie took in an estimated $97.5 million. "Transformers" beat the 2011 opening-weekend record previously set by "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," which just crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide.

Director Michael Bay's third installment in the "Transformers" series took in more than $180 million during its six-day opening, which started with Tuesday night previews. While it beat the Independence Day record held by "Spider-Man 2" thanks to inflation and 3-D screenings, it fell short of the superhero sequel in terms of overall attendance and far behind the last "Transformers" opening as well. Only 38 percent of major critics found the film favorable, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Last weekend's big sequel, "Cars 2," suffered from the largest second-week drop in Pixar's history. The talking-car-centered animated kid flick fell 60 percent to #2 with an estimated $26.2 million, with an 11-day total of $123 million. Cameron Diaz's "Bad Teacher" was #3 on the box-office chart with $14.5 million for an 11-day total of $59.9 million.

Critics have not been kind to "Larry Crowne," which opened at #4 with just $13.1 million. " 'Larry Crowne' has Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and a good premise and a colorful supporting cast," wrote Roger Ebert. "But what it doesn't have is a reason for existing."

The weekend's other new romantic comedy, Selena Gomez's "Monte Carlo," failed to even crack the top five with its $7.4 million debut.

"Super 8" was #5 with $7.8 million. J.J. Abrams' homage to co-producer Steven Spielberg's thrill-filled coming-of-age stories has earned more than $108 million in four weeks of release.

Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester Recall 'Monte Carlo' Perks

'We rented out the Eiffel Tower, no big deal,' Gomez jokes.

The cast of "Monte Carlo" really lucked out: Not only does the movie, opening Friday (July 1), star some of the biggest young actors in the business — Selena Gomez, "Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester and Cory Monteith of "Glee" fame — but the crew also got a chance to spend two months overseas shooting in some of the most spectacular places in the world.

The film stars Gomez as a young teenager mistaken for a British heiress while vacationing in Paris. The flick follows Gomez, Meester and Katie Cassidy as they encounter adventures on their European tour. Yet, it seems as if the fun continued well after the cameras stopped rolling.

"It was fun both on- and off[screen]," Meester said. "A lot of what was happening offscreen was just an extension of the fun we were having outside."

The cast filmed in several locations, including France, Monaco and Hungary, which was a first for Gomez. "It was really cool to experience all those places for the first time," Gomez said.

Out of all those places, the girls point to Paris as their favorite destination. "We got up in the Eiffel Tower," Meester recalled. "But it wasn't just go up for a trip, we got there all alone. It was just us at 5 a.m. when the sun was just rising. It was really beautiful."

Gomez joked: "We rented out the Eiffel Tower, no big deal."

Yet, Gomez and Meester weren't the only ones to take some offscreen adventures: Monteith made sure to take full advantage of his downtime. "I worked probably one out of five days in the shooting schedule," Monteith said. "I have four days a week off, and I was able to roam around Europe, so I saw 10 countries a month. It was incredible."
