Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy Off the Market and In the Market
Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy gave everyone a big fat clue about their relationship status ... by doing something a freshly broken up couple doesn't do ... grocery shopping.
It sure looked like they had broken up last month ... Matt seemed downright giddy about being single. But things took a dramatic turn Sunday at a Brentwood supermarket, when the 2 shopped together, loaded their groceries in the same car and drove off.
It could be a co-parenting thing -- they have a 3-year-old son together -- but a shopping trip sure seems super domestic.
There were reports Hudson was hanging with "Dancing with the Stars" star Derek Hough ... but lately it seems it's all about Kate and Matt. They were in Aspen together over the holidays with their son.
Either the holidays have rekindled that flame ... or they found a REALLY good deal on macaroni and cheese.

'The Voice' Contestant Reportedly Records 'Love Letter' to Kim Jong-un But She Calls BS
Judith Hill -- who's signed to Sony's music label and was a contestant on "The Voice" -- reportedly recorded a new track giving praise to Kim Jong-un while roasting James Franco ... but her people say the story is bogus.
According to Page Six ... Hill originally wrote an ode to James Franco and reportedly submitted it to "The Interview" producers for the soundtrack. But when it didn't make the cut -- and the hacking scandal went down -- she changed the lyrics and the title to "A Love Letter to Kim Jong-un."
Hill was reportedly attempting to mediate peace between North Korea and the U.S. by making K.J.U. the object of her affection in the song. Some choice lyrics:
- "You got me transcending heaven, so don't be confused ... James Franco ain't got nothing on you."
- "I could wait here 127 hours ... it's true ... there's only Oscar and baby it goes to you."
Hill was reportedly signed to Sony last year ... and is best known for performing with Michael Jackson in the movie "This Is It." She placed in the top 8 on "The Voice."
A rep for Hill tells us they did NOT submit the track to "The Interview" producers ... it was requested of them by a Sony A&R rep. She also says the song is not putting James Franco down.
The rep also claims she was not attempting to mediate peace ... and never changed the lyrics or title. The rep says it was simply a parody version of her song.

Diggs and Menzel announced their split in December 2013, but according to court docs obtained by TMZ ... there was no further action until November, when Taye filed the divorce petition in New York.

Diggs and Menzel were married for 10 years and have a five-year-old son named Walker.
A source connected to the couple says the break-up has been as amicable as these things can be ... and they've both remained committed to raising their son together and peacefully.

Nikki Reed I'm Done With 'Idol' Marriage ... But I'm Keeping the Dog
Nikki Reed will be living on her own -- now that her divorce from ex "American Idol" contestant Paul McDonald is finalized -- but she'll still have a guard dog by her side.
According to the final judgment in their split ... the biggest asset Paul's leaving the marriage with is the couple's Nashville home. Which is nice ... Music City for the music guy. Makes sense.
Nikki, on the other hand ... gets THREE other homes AND their "security dog" -- a German Shepherd named Enzo.
In the docs, Paul and Nikki agreed to waive off any spousal support.
One last thing ... cars. Nikki gets THREE of 'em -- a Range Rover, a Toyota Tundra, and a Toyota Rav4. The docs make no mention of a vehicle for Paul.
Good news for Uber.

Kevin Smith Job Insecurity ... Daughter Could Have Axed Him
Kevin Smith had to be very careful not to piss off his daughter Harley Quinn Smith -- the teen actress had the power to send Daddy packing as director of their upcoming film.
Harley's contract for her role in "Yoga Hosers" shows she wasn't paid huge money -- the standard SAG rate -- but the real juice is the 15-year-old clearly has a kick ass agent.
Harley's deal for the flick actually gave her the right to approve the director ... meaning she had to sign off on her own dad -- which she wisely did.
For the record ... Kevin had the right to approve her too. Again ... dad's no dummy.
Takeaway for Harley: don't bite the hand that conceives you.

Sony Pictures Hack Was an Inside Job ... Investigators Claim
The Sony Pictures hack was masterminded by a former Sony employee -- at least partially -- according to a security firm which is now refuting the FBI's claim that North Korea was responsible.
Cybersecurity firm Norse Corp says its identified six suspects directly involved in the attack on Sony's records -- and they live in Canada, Thailand, Singapore ... but the former employee is based in the U.S.
According to the Daily Caller ... Norse Corp says the ex-staffer -- a woman identified as "Lena" -- has "extensive knowledge of the company's network and operations" and was laid off in May.
The information flies in the face of the FBI ...which firmly pointed the finger at Kim Jong-un last week.
Important to note ... Norse Corp was not hired by Sony and was conducting its own independent probe into the hack. We've contacted Sony to see if they're now working with Norse Corp ... so far no word back.
The FBI has met with Norse Corp reps -- but still stands by its assessment that N. Korea's behind the attack.

Amy Pascal Yes, My Job Is On the Line ... And Obama MIGHT Have Called Me
Sorry, Seth Rogen -- but no one is pulling for "The Interview" more than Sony Pictures honcho Amy Pascal ... because a flop could mean it's curtains for her at Sony.
Pascal fielded a bunch of questions -- about the Sony hack, yanking the movie, only to release it after all -- when she flew into LAX Saturday night.
It's the first time she's addressed the controversy in public -- and the most telling part is Pascal's response when asked if the initial $1 million-plus box office take for "The Interview" will save her job.
You gotta see it. Oh, and she's also asked about the conspiracy theory -- that President Obama leaned on her and Sony to put the movie out.
Let's just say ... Amy seems to have learned her lesson when it comes to leaks.
