Gwyneth Paltrow‘s GOOP newsletter this week talked about postpartum depression. Actress Bryce Dallas Howardcontributed to it by writing down her story on how it affected her after the birth of her son Theo (who is now 3 and 1/2).

It’s a long read but a great read.  This woman should add writer to her resume.

Women need to be more open about this so that others know they aren’t alone. I can only imagine how terrifying it feels at the time to be going through it:

I recently saw an interview I did on TV while promoting a film. In it, I was asked about my experience with post-partum depression and as I watched, I cringed. I said things like “It was a nightmare,” or “I felt like I was in a black hole.” But I couldn’t even begin to express my true feelings. On screen, I had seemed so together, so okay, as if I had everything under control. As I watched, it dawned on me. If I had been able to truthfully convey my ordeal with post-partum depression under the glare of those lights, I most likely would have said no words at all. I simply would have stared at the interviewer with an expression of deep, deep loss.

The delicious Jeffrey Dean Morgan premiered his latest movie The Losers last night in Los Angeles with Hilarie Burton who is his girlfriend I guess.  I thought she was one of his costars until I reviewed the list of actors in the movie and hers wasn`t there.  She is one lucky biotch that girl.  He also brought his mom to the premiere which is so sweet.

Also starring in the movie are Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans and Jason Patric (he  too is quite delicious) who were at the premiere along with:

• LisaRaye McCoy
• Scott Porter
• Kristina Anapau
• Keith Robinson
• Bryce Dallas Howard
• Dania Ramirez

This action/adventure sounds pretty intense:

After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination
