Gwen Stefani, after checking with the crowd to see if it was midnight, serenaded Kingston with the Happy Birthday song.

Of course the crowd joined and it was so loud, Kingston needed his noise reducing headphones left on his ears. How great to always have that on video?

Cute Cute Cute.

Gwen Stefani Misses Kingston Already

trix — Mon, 11 May 2009 14:32:00 GMT

Gwen Stefani says she's going to miss her husband Gavin Rossdale, but she's going to miss Kingston more.

During their respective summer concert tours, each parent is going to take a kid, which is really cool. The only thing that stinks is missing the other kid.

Gwen said, "Kingston is going to be hopping back and forth between me and Gavin. Me and Gavin are used to being away from each other. But with Kingston
it is going to be a whole different level of pain. It's going to be really hard."

She also says that the routine of touring is going to be much different this time around.

"I think we're going to sleep a lot less than we ever have. Normally, you sleep the whole day, which was my favourite part about touring, but that's a thing of the past. We get to see a lot more of the country, though, because we're actually leaving the hotel room."

Trista & Ryan Sutter Show Off Daughter Blakesley Grace!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:08:00 GMT

Bachelorette couple, Trista and Ryan Sutter, welcomed their second baby, daughter Blakesley Grace, 4 1/2 weeks ago, and now they're showing her off!

More pics after the jump!

Gracing the cover of Life & Style, the proud new mom and dad are posing with their baby girl. They're also parents to adorable son Maxwell Alston, now 21 months, pictured below.

Inside the issue, the beautiful family poses for photos, we get a peek at Blakesley's nursery and Trista talks babies. Here are some highlights via CBB:

When Max was born, you had to be put under general anesthesia to have an emergency C-section. How were things different this time around?

This birth was so much easier. Blakesley was born three weeks early, and I did have another C-section, but I didn’t need general anesthesia. I just walked into the hospital and put my gown on, and then my doctor came in and said, “Okay, it’s time.”

I didn’t know you could just walk into the delivery room, because the last time, I was wheeled in on a hospital bed!

What was the best part of the delivery?

Being able to hear her cry when she came out and then seeing her right away. With Max, I was under, and I didn’t wake up until several hours later. But this time I was able to hear her first cry and see Ryan there too

How did you come up with the name Blakesley?

It’s a family name. Ryan really loved the name Grace. At first we were calling her Gracie, but then we decided to stick with Blakesley.

How does it feel to have a little girl? Are you already having fun dressing her up?

First of all, I feel so blessed to have a boy and a girl. I can’t really dress her in girlie things yet because she’s so little, but trust me, I’m getting excited! But for now she’s wearing some of Max’s old hand-me-downs, like his onesies.

Gorgeous family!

Matthew Fox Prepares to get UnLost with Family

Karl Erikson — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:33:00 GMT

Matthew Fox, star of "Lost," spoke with Dave Letterman the other night about his family life and living in Hawaii during the filming of the blockbuster hit series.

"It's been a great experience," Matthew said of Hawaii and Lost, but the family is looking forward to moving to Oregon after filming is over next year. He, wife Margherita, and kids Kyle Allison, 12, and Byron, 7-1/2, "are really looking forward to moving on."

"Them having a chance to spend all that time in Hawaii," Matthew said, "and spend that much time in the water, and learning how to surf. All that's been great, especially for the little guy, it's been a big deal. We moved over there when he was 2 or 3."

Matthew, 42, grew up in the Pacific Northwest and loved growing up in Wyoming. In fact, his dad still owns a ranch out there. Kyle and Byron love the area, too. "They've spent quite a bit of time there, and both of them are really into getting on a horse," Matthew said. "Particularly Kyle. She's totally in love with it."

"Lost" airs Wednesday nights at 9:00 pm on ABC. Tonight is the season's penultimate episode. The 2-hour season finale airs a week from tonight. Great freaking show. It struggled for a season or two, but I'm really digging it again this year.

Gavin Rossdale Had A Secret Romance?

trix — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:29:00 GMT

Gavin Rossdale is the one of the subjects of a recent tell all interview.

"Gavin had a long-standing secret love affair with Marilyn — a male rocker who looked remarkably like Gwen. “He was the love of my life." Does he really look like Gwen to you? I don't really think so.

Now, of course, Gavin denies the affair, but says that he and Marylin were very close friends.

Gavin denied it in 1995 when Boy George's book, Take It Like A Man, came out and stays true to his story.

Now I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other, but if it's not true then this guy needs to check his story and quit riding on Gavin's coattails.

Is Desmond From LOST A Sexual Harasser?

Josh loposer — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:30:00 GMT

Henry Ian Cusick (aka Desmond from LOST) is reportedly being sued for getting all inappropriate-like with a female crew member on the set of ABC's hit.

~~Desmond~~ Henry and wife Annie got married in 2006, but the couple had lived together for 14 years prior, and they have three sons Elias, Lucas, and Esau. The Cusicks live on the island of Ohau, nice and close to where the show is based.

The alleged victim, Chelsea Stone, filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court after being fired from ABC after 10 years. Supposedly, she was fired shortly after reporting Cusick's unwanted advances. According to the legal documents:

“Such harassment included but not limited to the following conduct: Cusick placed his hand on Plaintiff’s buttocks. Cusick then began to caress the back of Plaintiffs body while making moaning sounds. Cusick then placed his face on top of Plaintiff’s breasts, moving his face from side to side.

“Cusick then squeezed Plaintiff’s breasts with his hands. Cusick further kissed Plaintiff on the mouth. At all times during the sexual harassment Plaintiff communicated to Cusick that his sexual advances were unacceptable.”

Crazy, and Cusick really doesn't even seem like the touchy feely type at all. It's gotta be pretty weird to know that your father's being sued for sexual harassment. I feel sorry for the kids.

Melissa Joan Hart Wants Daughters, Keeps Having Sons

Josh loposer — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:27:00 GMT

TV star Melissa Joan Hart is a machine... not really. What I mean is that she wants daughters so bad that she'll stop at nothing until she has a couple. At 33, ~~Clarissa~~ ~~Sabrina~~ Melissa has two boys already, but she's prepared to give it as many tries as it takes.

“I want to try for a girl and if we don’t have a girl, I’ll try again for a girl but if we do have a girl, I’ll try again for a sister.”

Melissa says that her two boys, Mason, 3, and Braydon, 13 months, have taught her a little about savoring the freedom of pre-baby lifestyle:

"I’ve worked since I was four; I’ve had every kind of job; I’ve worked every kind of hours in different conditions and cities and places and I would say being a mom is the hardest job there is."

As far as advice for those who don't yet have any little ones in the house:

"See movies, read books and sleep, because you’ll never do those things again."

Some of you may know her as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I'll always think of Melissa Joan Hart as Clarissa. Which kinda makes it weird that she's having children at all, but that's beside the point. It sounds like MJH is dead set on having at least 4 kids, possibly more.

Kudos to her for juggling two kids and still having the energy to want more, all while starring in an ABC Family show My Fake Finace' which debuted Sunday.

The Tori & Dean Movie: God Help Us All!

Josh loposer — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:30:00 GMT

That's right, some producers at Oxygen actually think that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's 3 years of marraige is worthy of not only a reality show, but a made-for-TV movie as well.

Seriously, do people want to watch a romantic comedy based on their marriage? Seems like season three of Home Sweet Hollywood is more than enough Tori and Dean, but who knows?

Is there really enough story to work with? They must plan on getting a lot of mileage out of Dean leaving his wife to be with Tori. And then there's the whole Candy Spelling debacle ... but then what?

Sure, they've had two kids together, Liam and Stella, but they're not really old enough to get into any serious trouble that would make for an interesting movie. Oh wait, this is a made-for-TV movie on Oxygen -- guess the bar isn't set all that high.

I'm guessing that Tori will play herself, but who will they get to play her mother? They're not exactly on the best of terms right now, both blaming each other for their estrangement. I'm going to go ahead and nominate Barbara Walters.

Ladies On 'The View' Try To Make Tori Apologize To Her Mother (Video)

Josh loposer — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

Now that Tori Spelling has released a book about about parenting called Mommywood, the drama surrounding she and her mother Candy's falling out is really ratcheting up a notch. During Tori's appearance on The View yesterday, both Barbara and Joy got all up in up in her bidness about reaching out to mommy (video after the jump).

Whoa, if the ladies on The View can't solve it in the course of a 7 minute interview, it must be a really serious problem.

While they may be right in a lot of ways, it really just looked like Babs and Joy are bullying Tori in order to get some kind of ratings-boosting online reconciliation going, and Tori's just not having any of it.

I've got to say, I'm kinda impressed with the way Tori stuck to her guns -- even when the crew started laying on the guilt trip about how the "feud" was hurting her children Liam and Stella's relationship with their grandmother.

Did they really expect to break Tori down and have a Kumbaya session on the show? I'm kinda thinking that they did. Hopefully, Tori and Candy will one day bury the hatchet, but apparently the hard sell didn't work.

Exclusive - Jon & Kate Plus 8 to Battle Nadya Suleman and the Octuplets on Dancing With the Stars

Whit Honea — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:01:00 GMT

It was only a matter of time. Jon and Kate Gosselin, parents of 8 and stars of the TV show ~~"Divorce Court"~~ "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will be facing off with America's sweetheart Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, and her brood of 14 children on what can only be called the pinnacle of reality television.

It does seem a bit early, albeit inevitable. Personally I had anticipated something along the lines of "Family Feud" or "Laff-A-Lympics," but that's why I'm just a writer and not a marketing genius.

According to a source the contest between the families will take place on a special edition of "Dancing With the Stars" and will feature "choreographed numbers that showcase the talents of the Gosselins and Ms. Suleman, respectively."

The source also states that the children are "obviously very young and there is a large span between their ages, therefore you will see everything from strollers to cribs on wheels."

"DWTS" and ABC were not available for comment.

Cheryl Hines Talks About Really Being in the Motherhood

Karl Erikson — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 23:01:00 GMT

Cheryl Hines, star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the new ABC show "In The Motherhood" (starts tonight), says she tackles momhood in real life and is ready to tackle it on her new show, too. Cheryl is mom to Catherine Rose, 5, who she says is quite the comedian.

"She’s very funny. She has a great sense of humor," Cheryl says. "It’s funny when she tries to manipulate me. When it’s time to go to bed, she’ll bargain with me. She’ll tell me she will go to bed if I let her watch her favorite movie. Things like that, where it’s like, ‘Well, that’s not really a negotiation.’"

Her most harrowing parenting moment includes, "Going through airport security when Catherine was an infant, I realized I had to take her out of the stroller, collapse the stroller, put my luggage through, take off my shoes - I just didn’t understand how anyone was physically capable of doing that. And nobody seemed very helpful, either. I don’t know how you’re supposed to collapse a baby stroller while you’re holding a baby and luggage. I don’t know - I just remember sweating a lot!"

Cheryl and husband Paul Young most often argue about Catherine's bedtime. "I like to have a little consistency when it comes to bedtime, and I’ll try to put her to bed by 8:30 p.m. seven nights in a row. And then I come home, and it’s 10 o’clock, and Paul and Catherine are watching TV on the couch together. It’s like, ‘Ohh Paul.’ It’s not the end of the world, but I think we probably disagree on that a little bit."

There have been arguments throughout the ages on whether you should let your baby cry it out, or coddle them. Cheryl says, "I coddle! Are you kidding me? I cry with her. I’m the worst. Whatever she wants. I just want her to be happy. All I want, every day, is my daughter to be happy. I’m not the strictest mom in the world, but you only live once, right?"

Well, nothing like spoiling a child to death, right? Isn't that what children are for?

Alessandra Ambrosio Shows Off Her Family

Bachelor Jason and Molly - Revealing In-depth Interview

trix — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:32:00 GMT

Bachelor Jason Mesnick and his new/old/can't fight this feeling, love Molly, spoke in an in-depth interview with the Seattle Times to defend their position and perhaps smooth out some of the backlash of the finale. Some of the answers sound very well thought out and not at all like what we perceived the reasons for his choice to be.

The interview did not go into what effect this whole deal has had on Jason's son. Hopefully, he and Molly will get to know one another and she'll get comfortable to being around him and his little kidness.

Q: Can we start from the beginning? Last time I talked to you in early December, you were engaged to Melissa. Did you ever expect to change your mind?

Jason Mesnick: I would never have proposed if I thought I was going to change my mind. If I had a few more months things would have been different. With the time constraints on the show, at the time I thought I was making the right decision.

Q: You spent the holidays with Melissa in L.A. Was Molly on your mind that whole time?

Jason Mesnick: Initially, I tried to ignore it. Any time I would think about Molly I would be like, “Forget it.” I made a decision, I’m going to get married to Melissa. But every day, I just remember thinking, okay, first of all I feel really bad what I did to Molly. And then slowly, I would say, week after week it started building more and more. It was like, now I just don’t feel bad, there’s a piece of me that’s still gone.

Q: Did you fall out of love with Melissa Rycroft?

Jason Mesnick: Melissa is that person I thought going into it I would end up with. I guess in a way she’s similar to a lot of other girls I’ve dated in my life, which is part of the reason why I ended up picking her. It was just something I thought I wanted when realistically, there’s probably a reason why my past relationships haven’t worked out. What I really needed was somebody different and it was Molly.

Q: The decision to do it on television has been what everyone has been talking about. Did you actually tell Melissa beforehand?

Jason Mesnick: The last conversation with Melissa and I was probably two days before we shot and it was, “Are you even going to wear your engagement ring because we’re not together?” She definitely wasn’t shell shocked. I knew everybody’s going to judge because I did what I decided to do on a TV show. At the time I felt like I didn’t have a choice. [... ] Retrospectively, would it have been better if I just didn’t show up? That was my alternative. Then would America look at me and say, “This guy’s a chicken, he can’t even say what’s on his mind.” It’s a lose-lose. Retrospectively would I have not done it on TV? You know what? Yeah. I wouldn’t have done it.

Q: How has your family been dealing with the public nature of it?

Jason Mesnick: It’s a little strange. I’m in L.A. right now, so I haven’t been home during the finale. My family is very supportive. I even have messages from my old ex part of the family saying you did what you had to do and it was a really hard thing to do. [... ] It was what I decided to do, from the very beginning, the good, the bad and the ugly, and every single week, I broke up with people. And I hated doing that then. But it’s what I decided to do from the very beginning. So my family’s been really supportive. More than anything, they want me to be happy. Obviously I’m not happy with how people are perceiving me. I think people are judging most of all because this was on TV, but that’s why everyone tuned in because it is on TV.

Q: What did your family say when you told them, “I proposed to Melissa but it’s not working out and I want to be with Molly.”

Jason Mesnick: Two things. Who cares what people are going to think about you? What’s the alternative, living a lie? I was never going to do that. They just said if she really makes you happy you gotta go through and do the right thing.

Q: Molly, what has it been like for you to watch this whole situation unfold and having to deal with this emotionally?

Molly Malaney: I would say I’m a pretty logical person. I understand that I came on a show called “The Bachelor,” there’s 25 girls, things are going to happen. I even knew when I left New Zealand, I wasn’t mad at Jason, I knew he had to make a choice between two people and at that point he thought he made the choice for him. Everything’s in the past and we’ve moved on from it.

Q: When did you make the decision to say “Yes, we’re fully back on”? I assume it wasn’t right at the taping of “After the Final Rose.”

Molly Malaney: No, it wasn’t right away. We definitely had to have some serious discussions after all that. I needed to understand what happened with him and Melissa. I would say it was a couple weeks after we got past everything and got to a good place.

Q: So you decided to move to Seattle? When?

Molly Malaney: Eventually. It’s not a matter of if. I definitely will move out there, but I think we’re just going to try to take it slow, move at our own pace and adjust to being a couple in the real world first.

Q: Would you both go through this experience again?

Jason Mesnick: The only reason to do this is to find Molly. That’s the only reason to do it.

Molly Malaney: I think the best advice I would give to anybody thinking about going through a situation like this is that you have to have incredibly tough skin. There’s a lot of negativity that comes with doing something like this. But if you can get past that, which Jason and I have done a good job of doing, you have your family, your friends and Jason and I have each other. I can’t regret anything I’ve done because I’m at a very good place in my life now.

Q: Molly, did you talk to your family when Jason came back around?

Molly Malaney: Oh yeah. I emphasized on the show how important my family is to me. I definitely wanted to keep them in the loop of what was going on. They were skeptical at first, they had the exact questions I had when I found out, but they love Jason and they see how happy he makes me so they’re very supportive of all this.

Q: There’ve been a ton of rumors about the show for weeks now. How have you dealt with it?

Jason Mesnick: The one true thing that came out was I did have this change of heart. Everybody else started speculating the behind the scenes stuff, which is 100 percent false. and that’s where a lot of these stories came from, speculation, and that’s just disappointing.

Molly Malaney: People just think we’re these characters on a TV show. We have families and we have jobs. People say awful, awful things and they don’t realize how that can affect our real lives. At the end of the day, we just need to focus on what’s important and that’s our friends and families, and we have each other and really that’s all that matters. So we’re just trying to move on from all that.

You have to be true to your feelings and sometimes, it's impossible to not hurt anyone in the process. You can try, but you will never please everyone.

I'll end it with my favorite quote, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

Gavin Rossdale Honors Purple Heart Recipient

trix — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Family man, Gavin Rossdale showed up at the finale on the latest episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Gavin sang his song Love Remains the Same, for the mom and dad of the family who the show helped this week.

As a dad to two, Gavin must know the fears every husband and father face on a day to day basis. The fears of whether or not you are going to be able to provide the things your family needs. The dad on the show was just worried about whether or not he was going to make it home from Iraq after he was shot in the neck.Then, after he made it home to Kansas his family's home was destroyed in a tornado.

That's probably a little more than Gavin Rossdale has had to deal with, but it was nice to see him getting involved and showing a little support.

I know there have been a lot of different celebrities interested in being a part of the show. It's something that shows such support for the familes that have faced tradgedy and are trying to move on. Sometimes it's hard to know where to start, when you are trying to give because there are so many that need help.

Good for him, he needs to start setting a good example for his boys. They will grow up knowing what it's like to be giving and what it's like to help others.

Chyler Leigh Going to Hide Baby Bump on Camera

Karl Erikson — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:40:00 GMT

Grey's Anatomy star Chyler Leigh, welcoming a baby this spring, says that she's really watching what she eats and exercising because the writers decided not to writer her pregnancy into the show. She's expected to continue filming right up until about a week before her delivery. There's going to be lots of hiding her baby bump, using medical equipment and some clipboarded charts.

"The first time I was pregnant," Chyler says, "I gained about 55 pounds and it was difficult to lose. The second time, it was about 40 pounds. Having a three year old already, shedding the weight was easier that second time around. And so this time, I am hoping to gain around 30 pounds."

Chyler has 5-year-old Noah Wilde and 2-year-old Taelyn Leigh with husband Nathan West. Nathan is a great dad. "He's learning to cook and preparing dinners, helping pack lunches for me when I have long days at work." All this while Chyler is working long hours on the Grey's Anatomy set.

Chyler says that Noah is excited to have another sibling. She and Nathan are working on a new nursery, and have yet to decide on a name for the new baby. A fun little tradition between the happy couple will help decide the name, though. Chyler and Nathan started a friendly bet before Noah was born. "We have an ongoing bet that whoever correctly guesses the gender, gets to pick the first name of the baby. Runner up gets the middle name."

Chyler picked Noah's first name and Nathan chose "Wilde" for his middle name, being a big fan of Oscar Wilde. With their daughter, Nathan guess the gender correctly and wanted an original hyphenated name, so he chose Tae-Lynn. "I like it," Chyler says, "but wanted to trim it a bit, and we agreed to make it one name and spell it Taelyn."

"As for number three, another girl, we're still throwing around a few ideas. But he gets to pick her first name."

Chyler Leigh Expecting Third Child

Dear Obama: Success Is An Inside Job

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:25:00 GMT

On the day of his inauguration as 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama received this message: love your wife, play with your daughters, BE HAPPY. Oh, and don't buy too many cars.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. Not to mention your brave and precious grandmother.* And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: it is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is only what so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, but this is because it is not clear to them yet that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.
