Celebrities are talented people, obviously. However, there are some stars out there with some weird hidden talents. Who is a pro ping-pong player? And who can put a rubiks cube together in one minute? Find out here!

Kristen Stewart: Did you know Kristen Stewart is also an excellent juggler? Weird, I know! She showed off her ball juggling skills on the George Lopez show last year and apparently Rob Pattinson wanted her to juggle and hulu hoop onstage when they presented an award at the MTV Movie Awards, but she shot him down because she thought it would be “embarrassing” which is almost as embarrassing as being good at juggling.

Drumroll please….Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who are parents to Violet Anne and Seraphina Rose, have announced the name of their third child. And that name is, get ready for it...Samuel!

Oh. Well, that’s an oddly normal name for a celebrity baby. Shouldn’t it be like Panther or Rock or Fettuccini or something?
Congrats to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who welcomed baby #3 today. Jen gave birth to a baby boy in Santa Monica on Tuesday.

Planning to get your loved one something really cool this year? Getting your dad that iPhone 4 he’s been wanting? Or maybe you’re getting your brother that really fancy laptop he asked for?

Garbage. It’s all garbage, at least compared to this over-the-top celebrity Christmas presents. Celebs love to do things big, and for the biggest time of the year, it only gets more outrageous. Here are 10 extravagant celebrity Christmas presents.

Paris Hilton: Pink Bentley: Paris bought her own Christmas present—a $285,000 pink Bentley Continental GT. The dashboard is diamond-encrusted. At this point, I’m surprised the woman doesn’t get Tinkerbell encrusted with diamonds.

Mariah Carey: Rolls Royce Phantom: No surprise here, these two live like royalty. Nick Cannon gifted his wife with a $400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom. It included a personalized license plate that reads “mommyMC”

Is this a year for babies, or what? Something about 2010 had people going at it with each other like they're trying to repopulate the Earth.

According to a source for Life & Style, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting their third child, a baby boy. The duo already has two daughters: five year-old Violet and Seraphina, 2. Garner hasn't confirmed the news, but the source is apparently a good family friend.

Ben is reportedly thrilled to have a "little sports buddy…he can’t wait to take his son to baseball games and play catch with him." And Jen "feels like she won't know what to do. She’s close to her two sisters, and her instincts were spot-on with the girls. But she never had a brother and doesn’t know the drill.”

Here's a tip: put a video game controller in their hand. Parenting complete. Good luck taking it away from them for the next 20-30 years, though.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are expecting another baby! The couple are parents to Violet Anne, 5 and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 2. I wonder if they will stick to flower names + normal girl name combinations for their third child as well. Daisy Jessica, Petunia Megan, Sunflower Brittany? I should never be allowed to name children.

The couple’s representative has released a one-word statement to the Associated Press saying they are “thrilled” to have a baby on the way. No other details have been released but it’s believed that Jennifer is in her second trimester. Sources say they have been trying to add to their family for a while now, the Garner-Affleck clan wants to “out-baby” the Jolie-Pitt clan. I kid. I kid.

A source says, “She’s always wanted three kids. This was her plan all along.”

She’s good at moving those hips, so it’s no surprise that Shakira has an awesome golf swing as well. The talented singer says, “I’m really bad at sports, believe it or not. If you threw a ball at me, you would probably break my face because I have no reflexes whatsoever. But in golf, you just need concentration, of which I have plenty, and hip swing is very important.”

Shakira’s golf skill might not be a huge surprise, but it is a hidden celebrity talent we didn’t know about. And there are tons of celebrities with talents we don’t know about. No, we’re not talking about James Franco taking on every hobby and interest known to man. He’s officially Superman and doesn’t count. But here are 5 stars and their hidden celebrity talent
