FameCrawler : Ben Stiller

Christian Bale and Fam at Airport: Photos

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 May 2009 18:05:00 GMT

John Connor, aka Christian Bale, was leaving with his family from L.A. International Airport yesterday. He's looking quite happy with daughter Emmeline, now 4, and beautiful wife Sibi Blazic. Isn't Emmeline adorable?

I have yet to see Terminator: Salvation, which is getting incredibly mixed reviews. I do know that it's GOT to be better than "Night at the Museum 2," which won first place at the box office this holiday weekend. Terminator came in second, only making $43 million.

Ben Stiller Hospitalized

Sassy Smith — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Ben Stiller was hospitalized over the weekend in NYC - so what happened to the 43-year-old comedian and actor?

No worries, he should still be able to wrap presents for Ella, 6, and Quinlin, 3, although he might be a bit slow going. Still apparently broke his hand.

His publicist Kelly Bush said, "I can confirm that he broke his hand snowboarding."

Stiller was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital on Sunday and treated for the fracture. While no other details were made public, it's believed one of the hospital's top hand specialist was called in to treat him.

Hope you're better soon Ben - you've got two kids to chase around!

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor: No More Kids

Karl Erikson — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:05:00 GMT

Ben Stiller says that his two "incredible" children are enough for him and wife Christine Taylor. The couple's children, Ella Olivia and Quinlin Dempsey, are included in the new movie Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and Ben says "they're ridiculously cute at 6 and 3."

Despite their glowing love for children, Ben and Christine don't plan to expand the family any more. Ben says they're "happy where we're at right now." Christine says, "Two is enough for now. Three's off." She thinks a third would throw everything off kilter.

"Two is a handful. I feel very fortunate," says Ben.

Ben Stiller Wants Normal Childhood for Kids

Karl Erikson — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:43:00 GMT

Ben Stiller, star of movies such as "Meet the Parents" and "Zoolander," has been part of the show business world from the get-go. His parents are Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, after all. But as for Ben's kids - Ella Olivia, 6, and Quinlin Dempsey, 3 - he wants them to "have as much of a regular childhood as possible."

"My daughter is not that interested in movies," Ben says. "She'd rather be playing with her dolls, which is good. I think that's healthy. My son sort of gets show business but he's also more involved with his trains."

Of course, if Ben's kids decide to go into the biz, he'll be totally supportive. Ben is married to actress Christine Taylor, 37. He's starring in the new movie "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" and the upcoming "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian." He enjoys making movies that are accessible to his kids now.

"It's great to be able to share with them something they can enjoy," says Ben, 42. There's not a lot of films of mine I can show to them but we'll get to them eventually. I don't know how long it will take until they can see Dodgeball or even Heavyweights. But I'm guessing we'll get to both of them before There's Something About Mary."

Um, yeah. Quite a while, I'm sure.

Babble Talk: The Cast of Madagascar 2

There was a brief moment where it looked like I was going to be sitting down with the cast of Madagascar 2, and as such I scheduled my life around the possibility. Turns out L.A. is too far in the boonies for a group of New York zoo animals. Luckily, Babble is bi-coastal and Meghan Pleticha was able to enjoy some star shine in the big city.

Check out the interview and you'll see why I'm so envious.

Madagascar Sequel is a Family Affair for Ben Stiller and Jada Pinkett Smith

Karl Erikson — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:01:00 GMT

When Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa comes out in the theaters on November 7, it won't just be the lovable characters from the first flick. Yes, the original cast is back for the sequel, but the cartoon will also feature the children of Jada Pinkett Smith and Ben Stiller, another example of Hollywood nepotism at its best.

Pinkett Smith's daughter, Willow (7), and Stiller's children, Quinlin (3) and Ella (6), all won parts in the movie, which is sure to be a smash.

Willow is playing Pinkett Smith's character, Gloria, as a child and had loads of questions for her mom. Says Jada, "It was so cute because she'd been asking, 'How does that work? How does the animation thing work? Mommy, what happens?'"

Stiller laughs and says that his experience with his own children was a little different. "They don't like to be told to do anything, but when my son got in front of the microphone, he was good."

I'm looking forward to catching this one in the theater. The first one was really a lot of fun.

Ben Stiller got a healthy dose of reality (bites?) when he was told by his six-year-old daughter Ella that she would rather play Barbies than watch Night at the Museum.

Says Stiller, "Ella's not that interested in movies. She'd far rather be playing with her dolls and Barbies. But that's good. I think that's healthy."

Don't worry Ben, my kids would rather watch Night at the Museum than read anything I write. I don't blame them.

Ben Stiller Thinks L.A. is Soft

Whit Honea — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:31:00 GMT

Ben Stiller has a few regrets, but then again too few to mention. However, he does wish that he and his wife had raised their kids in NYC rather than L.A., but not for the reasons you might think.

"Raising them here is different because I was raised in New York City. It's totally different. I grew up in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the 70s. There were... fires and riots and serial killers. It was great. My kids, its L.A., its sunny and nice. They don't have any excitement."

Um, come to my neighborhood, Ben. Kids here have a bit more excitement, Billy won a ribbon for his hog at the fair, Jane just lost a tooth, and on the corner we have a really cozy meth lab. L.A. is as exciting as you make it!

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Offend The Masses

trix — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:18:00 GMT

Katie Holmes got all glammed up for the premier of Tropic Thunder, hubby Tom Cruise's new movie. Tom Cruise portrays a profanity-spewing middle-aged studio boss, a role in which he had to wear a fat suit with fake hands and bald head piece. Is that why he was so pudgy a couple of months ago?

Katie was wearing a little black bustier dress, which was a far cry form the baggy rolled up jeans that she has been wearing in New York lately. She seems to be a busy little bee lately, bouncing to and fro from coast to coast. She has been rehearsing for her Broadway debut along with being a mother and wife, busy, busy, busy.

Tom's movie Tropic Thunder has been receiving some negative publicity but you will have to see the movie yourself and be the judge.

Tropic Thunder: Have They Gone Too Far?

Whit Honea — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:47:00 GMT

Tropic Thunder stars some of our favorite celebrity dads: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr., and Tom Cruise, and it opens on Friday. It is already pissing people off.

Apparently the film makes a lot of fun at issues that some find taboo. The majority of complaints are coming from the various groups that represent people with mental disabilities. Dozens of people from these organizations picketed the premiere of Tropic Thunder.

The movie is about a group of Hollywood actors that blur the lines between fiction and reality. The actors themselves are characterized as stereotypes and many of their actions are unthinkable- it's a comedy.

The uproar stems from a movie within the movie in which Stiller's character has portrayed a mentally disabled person in order to achieve Oscar consideration, spoofing the likes of Rain Man, I am Sam and Radio, to name a few. Their handling of the subject matter and the wordage used to describe the character isn't PC, and for better or worse, such things are no longer deemed acceptable, not even in a comedy.

A Dreamworks representative says, "We have had productive discussions with representatives of disability advocacy organizations and look forward to working with them closely in the future. However no changes or cuts to the film will be made.

"Tropic Thunder is an R-rated comedy that satirizes Hollywood and its excesses, and makes its point by featuring inappropriate and over-the-top characters in ridiculous situations. The film is in no way meant to disparage or harm the image of individuals with disabilities."

I'm torn on such things. On a personal level, the one I teach my children, I am 100% against discrimination against anyone based on anything (within reason), but as a whole I'm sick of America being handled with PC gloves. I prefer a society with a backbone, not hurt feelings and lawsuits (the favorite pastime out here in CA).

I like a little offense in my comedy. I get what Stiller is doing and it sounds funny. I want to laugh at something because it is absurd and ridiculous- things I know better than. Unfortunately, not everyone does know better and often the result of such comedy is that it carries out of the theater and into the daily scheme of things. It's a catch-22.

What do you think?

Jack Black Is Kung Fu Panda

Jack Black was at the Hollywood premiere of his new film, Kung Fu Panda. I'm sure you're wondering - if Jack's in front of the panda, who the hell is in the suit?

Here's my guesses:

Angelina Jolie, who's keeping close tabs on Jack to make sure he doesn't spill any more secrets about her pregnancy.
Jack's wife Tanya, who just gave birth to the couple's second baby. She wanted to go to the premiere but didn't have a thing to wear.
It's a real panda.

Jack Black was attacked while filming his latest movie in Hawaii.

Jack and his fellow Pips, Robert Downey, Jr., and Ben Stiller, were filming Tropic Thunder when a pregnant yak took a dislike to the comedian, throwing him "10 feet in the air." She must have seen Shallow Hal.

The next day the yak, named Bertha, gave birth to a calf which the yak's owner named Baby Jack. Neither Bertha or Big Jack were available for comment.

Baby For Cameron Diaz?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 08 May 2008 11:04:00 GMT

Does Cameron Diaz have a secret? Is she pregnant?

Diaz, 35, does want children but she's just not quite ready yet. She's content with looking after family and friends at this point in her life.

The What Happens in Vegas actress said, "In a sense, I'm a mother now. I think we all have that maternal ability and we all give that to our friends and our family. I think that's a nurturing nature that we all have. I definitely don't want to have children right now.

"I think I'm pretty good with kids. I love kids. Kids are great. I treat kids like human beings because that's how I was treated - I talk to them like people and some kids get it and some kids don't."

Cameron has dated a few celebs - Matt Dillon, Jared Leto and not too long ago, Justin Timberlake. She says she doesn't believe that 'Mr Right' exists.

"You're always told that he has to look like this, and this is how he exists in all the storybooks we've been given over the years - but it doesn't always come in those packages. And people are not always what they seem to be. I wasn't really big fairytale girl when I was growing up."

Somehow, I don't picture Diaz as a parent. I'm not sure why, but I can't quite grasp that visual.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor know when to say when. They have two children and no plans to add to that total.

Taylor tells OK magazine, "We have a new puppy and that's enough! Two babies and three dogs is enough."

Hey, that's what we have, two babies and three dogs. One is still a puppy and has single-handed(pawed?) destroyed all things of value. Good thing she's cute.

I think the Ben and Christine should have us over for a BBQ or something.
