Hook Ups Taylor, Harry, a baby, and Conor Kennedy I love pointing into the distance pictures. They’re so... movie montage, non? Look at Taylor Swift, holding the baby at the Central Park Zoo, watching the animals, creating a postcard moment for us. It’s very generous.

They’re being sold via Getty Images as “exclusive coverage”. There’s nothing accidental about them. They’re not cheap either. So I decided not By Maria • Nov 08, 2012 04:31 pm
Hollywood Closet This could have been the Brange of Scientology I just asked Maria what Kirstie Alley is selling and why she’s pimping herself all over Barbara Walters, forgetting that she’s on that Dancing Stars show and must not be eliminated yet.
