Tina Fey Takes Her Daughter to Work

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 18:35:00 GMT

Tina Fey was spotted taking daughter Alice, 3, to the movies in Santa Monica on Saturday. For a writer and producer like Tina, I guess this could be considered Take Your Daughter to Work Day. At least that's what I call it when I invite my daughters to sit in my office and watch me blog.

I just read that Tina and Robert Downey, Jr. are going to voice characters in a movie for Dreamworks. Titled Oobermind, the movie stars Downey as "a supervillain who pines for the good old days after finally defeating his arch nemesis." It doesn't say what part Tina would play, but I'll bet it's the Gwyneth-Paltrow-Iron-Man-Secretary part. Too bad - Tina would kick ass as the arch nemesis.

Alec Baldwin Offends an Entire Country With His Plans to Have More Children

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:35:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin, who joked that he might expand his family by “getting a Filipino mail-order bride ..." is apologizing to the people of the Philippines for the remark that was made during an appearance on The Late Show. So how do you apologize to an entire country? Why, by taking to your blog of course.

Baldwin, who apparently was threatened with physical violence after he made the quip that Philippine officials felt mocked their country's problems with sex trafficking, issued this apology on his blog on The Huffington Post:

“I’d like to offer an apology and a clarification to remarks I made recently. While on the David Letterman program, I joked that I might need a ‘mail-order bride’ to achieve the goal of having more children in my life. I believe that most people understood that this was a joke and took it as such. (A dated reference, no doubt, and another sign of my advancing age.) However, I do apologize to anyone who took offense.”

The 30 Rock actor famously apologized in 2007 for a profanity-laced tirade that he unleashed on his then-11-year-old daughter Ireland. I'm a big fan of Baldwin's, but it looks like if he wants to avoid any future bad publicity he should probably steer clear of making any comments that have anything whatsoever to do with his kids or his family.

Alec Baldwin's Ireland Dreams Big

trix — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland wants to be a veterinarian. She's straying from the business and uncle Daniel's not very happy about it.

That's a very noble choice of profession, she's very passionate about animals and doesn't have any desire to pursue acting. Her uncle Daniel thinks he knows what's best for her and wants her to embrace her acting heritage.

He says the world is her oyster and that she is very bright. If he believes that, then why wouldn't he want her to do what she really loves, especially if it's something that has the potential to do so much good.

Jill Hennessy - I Can't Relate To You

trix — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

How much time did you take off for your maternity leave? I took off 2 weeks before and then 10 weeks after my second baby was born. I could have stayed home forever.

Jill Hennessy says that a short maternity leave was best for her. She started filming Lymelife when her son Gianni was 11 weeks old. She said she couldn't pass up the opportunity to play the part of this woman.

Isn't that about the time you go back to work anyway?

She said, “I recognized this character. Everyone feels like, if I were a better wife or woman, my husband would love me, my kids would love me more. She comes full circle and makes a very bold choice.”

“I think it helped me get through that time, in retrospect. It got me outside, stopped me from focusing on the sheer lack of sleep and the daunting situation of having two kids. It forced me to delegate. I highly recommend it.”

I can't relate, my job made me more exhausted than I already was. It made me hate and resent my employer. Thank goodness I quit that job or I'd be more bitter than I already am.

Did you want to jump back into work or did it break your heart to leave your baby at home?

Salma Hayek's Wedding & Bikini Photos!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 07 May 2009 17:05:00 GMT

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault recently celebrated their second wedding in Venice, Italy - their daughter Valentina was a flower girl - and now the couple are enjoying some couple time on an island off the eastern coast of Africa. How romantic!

Salma in a bikini after the jump!

Salma looks great, doesn't she?

The newlyweds were spotted as they checked into the exclusive North Island Hotel, and an eyewitness said, "Salma was hugging Francois and constantly kissing him. They were so into each other."

The lovebirds took a romantic stroll on the beach, collected seashells and then returned to their 4,800-square-foot villa. Can you imagine a vacation pad that big? My house isn't even that big! But, I digress...

You know what happens on honeymoons, right? People often make babies - true story. Maybe they'll have an announcement in a few weeks, saying Valentina will become a big sister!

Tina Fey Talks About Her Daughter Alice, Motherhood, and Fame

Josh loposer — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

You might think that it'd be weird to grow up with superstar Tina Fey as a mother, but 2 and 1/2 year-old Alice Zenobia is all that impressed. She's more interested in her mom's co-stars Elmo and Oscar in her latest DVD Elmo and the Bookaneers.

“She met Elmo and Oscar, though she was less than two at the time and a little scared of Oscar — but she got her photo taken inside his trash can.”

According to Tina, Alice isn't to into her jokes and actually "thinks that Daddy is funnier." And that's probably OK, because mommy's sense of humor doesn't really cater to Alice's demographic. The thought of a kid laughing at Tracy Jordan, Jenna Maroney, or Jack Donaghy and comprehending 30 Rock's cynical little comedy nuggets is almost kinda disturbing.

As to whether Alice comprehends mommy's superstar status, here's what Tina had to say:

"She's starting to, and I'm trying to figure out how to downplay it. I want her to know that to be famous is not really important and not a sign of any kind of merit. But I do like her coming on the set and seeing how different jobs work and that people have different roles in making the show."

Salma Hayek Has Fairytale Wedding, Baby Valentina Was A Flower Girl

Sassy Smith — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Actress Salma Hayek and her husband, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, married for the second time on Saturday, April 25, in a beautiful ceremony in Venice, Italy. They first tied the knot on Valentine's Day, in a civil ceremony at City Hall in Paris, but Salma wanted to do it again, with a big affair for family and close friends. Their daughter Valentina, 19 months, was the flower girl.

From PEOPLE:

This time around, Hayek, 42, went all out. She wore a Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere as she exchanged vows with Pinault, 46, at Venice's opera house La Fenice. The bride, who wore her hair in a bun with a long veil, held a bouquet of orchids and stephanotis with crystals.

The couple's daughter, Valentina Paloma, 19 months, was a flower girl, along with Francois-Henri's son and daughter from his first marriage, Francois, 10 and Mathilde, 8. Valentina wore a dress by Bonpoint for the ceremony, which started around 7 p.m. At one point in the ceremony, the guests sang "Over the Rainbow."

About 150 friends and family members were in attendance, including Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton, Woody Harrelson, Olivier Martinez, Luis Miguel, Ashley Judd, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Bono, Gael García Bernal, Enrique Murciano, David Blaine, Ziyi Zhang, Anna Wintour and former French President Jacques Chirac. The wedding was a black tie affair. Guests wore black and gold masks as they arrived for the nuptials.

The weekend celebration kicked off Friday evening with a carnival-style masked ball at the Venice's historic Punta Della Dogana. The structure, which is leased from the city by Pinault's father and has undergone a $70-million renovation, will open to the public on June 6 as the Pinault Foundation Centre for Contemporary Art.

The couple's guests have enjoyed the sites of Italy's most romantic city since arriving Thursday. Woody Harrelson and wife Laura were spotted hand-in-hand taking a stroll around Piazza San Marco on Thursday.

Earlier this month, Hayek told PEOPLE, "I think a wedding is about love, friends, family and fun." And she certainly got that during the celebration surrounded by loved ones.

Congratulations! I bet little Valentina was adorable walking down the aisle!

Wow Salma, motherhood looks good on you. Salma and her family traveled to St. Tropez for a little fun in the sun.

They look like such a happy family, don't they. It's like they truly enjoy each others company. Is it the fact that they are in St. Tropez that they are so happy or is it real.

I think it's real bliss.

Salma Hayek: Being Older Makes Me A Better Mom

Sassy Smith — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:02:00 GMT

Salma Hayek doesn't regret waiting to become a mom in her 40s. She believes she's more fulfilled at this stage in her life and that benefits her daughter Valentina Paloma, now 18-months-old.

In the latest issue of WebMD magazine, the 42-year-old actress dishes on motherhood.

Salma wasn't sure if she and now husband Francois-Henri Pinault could even conceive.

"I thought I was going to need help getting pregnant, and I didn't." And Salma is glad she waited to have kids. "I'm a more fulfilled being now, and I probably wouldn't have been 10 years ago. She gets a better mother for being born now."

Will she and Francois have more kids? Possibly! Even though her pregnancy with Valentina was a bit complicated.

"I was nauseous for the whole nine months, and the only thing I craved was fruit - cold mango, watermelon."

She added, "I feel that I’ve done enough things in life where I can appreciate the time I spend with her as my No. 1 priority and not feel I’m missing out on something…I feel I’m a lot more patient. I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world."

Salma has relaxed her work schedule now that she's a mom.

Hayek even canceled a movie she was set to do, because she didn't have "the guts to do something violent and dark. Maybe I'll change my mind later, but right now, I want easy movies that I can take my child along to... I want uplifting movies for the world."

She was admittedly addicted to breastfeeding Valentina, but weaned her shortly before her first birthday because she felt she [Valentina] was ready.

"An actress I knew said, 'You're still breastfeeding? You're crazy!' Valentina wasn’t even one yet, and she was like, 'Why would you do that? That’s for India!' I was shocked at the level of ignorance. The best thing you can ever do for your child in your lifetime is to breastfeed."

Salma spends most of her time with her daughter, even when she has to work.

"I stay home a lot with her, and feed her and bathe with her. That’s relaxing. Yesterday I started watching a movie during her first nap, and finished it during her second nap. I wait until she’s asleep and I sneak one in. That’s how I watch a movie these days."

Salma Hayek and new husband Francois-Henri Pinault's little angel, Valentina, 17 months, rules the roost in their home! The pretty tot, according to her mom, is the one in charge.

Hayek said, "She's a little dictator!" However, Valentina has more than just bossy qualities. The proud mom added, "She is unique, magical - definitely the most colorful person I've ever met.

"I feel so connected to her, but at the same time, we are completedly different. I discover something new about her every day."

Valentina is certainly a beautiful baby - but that's no surprise, look at her mama!

What was she thinking? Those are the two fiercest creatures at the petting zoo and are to be treated with the utmost of respect.

Salma looks incredible in her dress and Valentina is, as always, adorable. It is nice to see how long her hair is getting.

Oh, I'm just kidding. Sometimes as babies they just need something to take the edge off or to feel comfortable. She'll get rid of it sooner or later.

How old were your kids when they got rid of their pacifiers and did they let go willingly?

Happy Valentine's Day: Salma Hayek and French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault have reportedly tied the knot in France on February 14.

The couple, who started dating in May 2006, exchanged vows at the city hall of the Sixth Arrondissement in St. Germaine, Paris.

Hayek and Pinault had called off their engagement last summer, but were seen getting cozy again in December. Sources said they were "very affectionate" at the Dubai Film Festival.

Salma, who did a stint on "30 Rock," admitted she was thinking of Pinault as she was kissing Alec Baldwin in the love scenes that they shared. She said, "I keep telling Francois, 'I imagine I was kissing you.'"

Salma, 43, and Francois, 46, have a daughter together - Valentina, 16 months. Maybe she was their flower girl?

Congrats to the happy family and maybe they'll be hearing the pitter-patter of more little feet!

Video: Salma Hayek Makes Daughter Proud, Breastfeeds African Baby

Salma Hayek, a UNICEF spokesperson, recently visited war-torn Sierra Leone, and the 42-year-old actress didn't hesitate to breastfeed a baby boy after his mom was unable to. Hayek said her own baby, daughter Valentina, would be very proud of her.

Video after the jump!

Said Hayek of breastfeeding the other woman's child, "I actually think my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk and when she grows up I will make sure she continues to share and be generous caring person."

Salma actually recalled a similar story about her great-grandmother, who had also helped out a woman in a similar situation.

Hayek explained, "My great-grandmother was in a Mexican village and they found a woman in the street inconsolably crying and the baby was also crying, crying, crying.

"My great-grandmother went up to her and said, 'What is the matter?' and the mother said, 'She is very, very hungry and I have no more milk.'

"And in the street my great-grandmother took the baby and breastfed that baby who instantly stopped crying and went peacefully to sleep.

"It was amazing (to breastfeed another child) because I was really impressed by (my great-grandmother's) story. I'm here in Sierra Leone and I was able to feed a baby that was very hungry."

Amazing! Watch the video:

Salma Hayek Says Hooey to the Biological Clock

Feeling panicked because you think time may be running out to get a bun in the oven? It's all in your head. At least according to Salma Hayek, who says the best time to start a family is later in life. She mentions nothing about a woman's chances of getting pregnant diminishing as she gets older, but so what - have you seen the breasts on this woman? I'm thinking she probably gets to say whatever she wants.

"When you turn 40, it's a lost easier than 30," said Hayek, 42, who gave birth to daughter Valentina in 2007. "They lied when they said you get old when you're 40. The best is the 40s."

Hayek says she'll "maybe" expand her brood, adding that she won't let her age determine whether or not she'll have more kids.

"I had her at 41. I don't sleep because she doesn’t sleep, but I have a lot of energy," she says. "I don't feel like, 'Oh my God, this is too late.' "

Salma, more power to you. But if you're thinking about having another one, just don't wait as long as this woman.

Salma Hayek Spreads The Breastfeeding Love

trix — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Salma Hayek as we know, is very addicted to breastfeeding.

She took a trip to Sierra Leone on a UNICEF fact-finding trip and came across a mother and her child that she had to help. The child was starving and the mother was unable to feed it, Salma picked up the baby and nursed it.

Would you do the same? I'm pretty sure I would.

Salma said, "It's about women sticking together and we really need to help the children in any way we can."

Salma is a UNICEF activist and is fighting to promote breastfeeding in Africa but says that there are still many hurdles to climb in getting the results they are striving for.

She said, "It is the best thing you can do for your child, not only the bonding, that's how you build the immune system, so in a country like Africa imagine how important it is for the mothers to do that. But there is the belief that if you are breastfeeding you cannot have a sexual life, so the husbands of these women are really encouraging them to stop and this is just a taboo."

Whether you breastfeed or not, you've got to admit, it warms the heart to know that there are those that do what they can to help.

Salma Hayek Can't Kick Her Addiction

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:07:00 GMT

We told you a few months ago about Salma Hayek's addiction. The 42-year-old actress has tried to give "it" up but so far, she's not had any luck. But honestly, she really doesn't want to stop. She's hooked - on what you ask? Well, let me tell you...

....she's crazy about breastfeeding!

The Latin beauty said she feels "like an alcoholic" when breastfeeding her daughter Valentina, now 16 months-old.

Said Hayek, "It is the best thing you can do for your child, not only the bonding, that's how you build the immune system, so in a country like Africa imagine how important it is for the mothers to do that." Salma is a Unicef activist, and she recently breastfed a starving child of a Sierra Leone refugee who wasn't able to express milk.

Salma also says that there's a misconception that breastfeeding moms can't have a sex life. "There is a belief that if you are breastfeeding you cannot have a sexual life, so the husbands of these women are really encouraging them to stop and this is just a taboo."

So, how long do you think she'll breastfeed Valentina? Is there a "right" age to stop?

Tina Fey Wins SAG Award and Owes It All to Daughter Alice

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:16:00 GMT

Tina Fey won the first award of the evening at tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards, taking the honor for best female actor in a comedy series for her work on "30 Rock." Fey was quick to give credit where credit was due and dedicated her award to her daughter, Alice, 3, calling her "the funniest person in my family."

The actress also took a thinly-veiled jab at Hollywood producers, who have battled Hollywood trade guilds over actors, writers and others' share of potential profits from Web programming. Referring again to Alice, Fey said, "Some day she'll be old enough to watch 30 Rock reruns on the Internet and understand where Mommy was going at 6 a.m. every day for all that time. And she'll look up at me and say, 'What do you mean you don't get residuals for this?' "
