FameCrawler : Carrie Underwood

Reese Witherspoon is an Embarrassing Mom

Karl Erikson — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:34:00 GMT

Reese Witherspoon is one of those typical moms that embarrasses the hell out of her children. She recently talked about taking 9-year-old daughter Ava Elizabeth to see Carrie Underwood in concert.

Ava said, "Mom, I really appreciate you taking me to the concert, but will you please not embarrass me in front of Carrie Underwood by singing? Because she's a REAL singer and you're just, like, a movie singer."

Despite winning her Best Actress Oscar for playing June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line," Reese's vocals do not get high marks with her daughter. "I love to sing around the house and in the car," Reese says, "but my daughter hates it."

What she loves about it, though, is that - to her kids - she's just Mom. "Realizing you're not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you're just a regular person," she says. "A regular, embarrassing old mom."

Welcome to Humble City, Reese. That's where all of us parents are. Except maybe for OctoMom.

Jennifer Garner Stands Up To Cancer

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:03:00 GMT

The stars showed up in force Friday night for the multi-network special "Stand Up To Cancer." The celebrity-studded fundraiser was all about raising awareness and money for cancer research. We've all lost someone we know to cancer. I made a donation in memory of my grandmother and stepfather. And while I was a tad disappointed that I didn't get to talk to Jennifer Garner and her baby bump on the phone bank, I suppose the bigger picture prevails.

You can still call this week or visit the Stand Up 2 Cancer site and make a donation. There are some amazing and promising new testing procedures out there. It'd be wonderful to see an end to cancer in this lifetime.

Superstars Stand Up For Cancer!

Karl Erikson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:28:00 GMT

Who among us has not been touched by cancer? Not a one, I'd venture to say. That's where Stand Up To Cancer comes in, an awareness- and fundraising telethon coming up September 5, starring tons of superstar celebrities and many of Famecrawler's fave celeb parents. In an unprecedented move, ABC, NBC, and CBS will all simultaneously air the special on their networks. You can see the video promo for the live special at the end of this post.

So far, there are over 60 celebrities scheduled for the telethon. The list includes Diane Keaton, Carrie Underwood, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Garner, Jack Black, Sheryl Crow, and Rob Lowe.

The celebs will be joined by the major network news anchors Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Charles Gibson and it's being deemed "edutainment," according to exec producer Laura Ziskin, herself a cancer survivor.

Couric herself lost her husband to colon cancer when he was 42, and several years later her sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. All this happened when Couric's daughters were just 6 and 2 years old. I remember it well.

Stand Up To Cancer also features the debut of a sure-to-be hit single called "Just Stand Up" by Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, and Mariah Carey. The song's proceeds will all go to cancer research.

The telethon is all about getting scientists to come together to fight cancer. Ziskin says it'll be "a phone-in, a sit-in, a love in" and "people can call in and talk to their favorite celebrity" when they call in to make a donation.

I love it when the power of celebrity is put to good use. I have a dear friend facing recurrent ovarian cancer for the third time, and I lost my stepfather to lung cancer four years ago. I'm sure you've been touched by cancer, too, and hope you'll tune in to this amazing project.

Bo Bice, who was in the audience last night to see David Cook crowned as this year's American Idol, has revealed the name of his unborn son who's due in August. And by celebrity standards, it's a normal one.

Bice came in second to Carrie Underwood in the 2005 American Idol competition. This is the second child for Bice and wife Caroline Fisher; son Adlan Michael is 2.

Thanks, Bice, for not naming your kid Pilot Inspektor.

ACM Awards: Garth Brooks Performs With a Pregnant Trisha Yearwood?

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:32:00 GMT

Garth Brooks performed last night at the Academy of Country Music Awards with his wife Trisha Yearwood, who appears to be pregnant. Of course, here at FameCrawler everyone is presumed pregnant unless proven otherwise. I'm not sure what that means, but please don't start sending us your negative EPT sticks.

Watch the video and decide for yourself if Trisha is expecting her first child with Garth. Or if we've just insulted the poor woman.

Teri Hatcher Channels Carrie Underwood, World Goes Deaf

Karen — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:30:00 GMT

From the files of "when will this woman go away?" Teri Hatcher performed "Before He Cheats" after acting badly in a poorly written skit with Carrie and James Denton. Who writes this crap? Worse, who let's Teri Hatcher make an ass of herself on television?

Oh right, it's American Idol's "Idol Gives Back." Well can American Idol give back 3 minutes of my life?

Get some Kleenex, your ears are about to bleed if you hit play (below the jump). UGH.

Who Needs an Idol? Chris Daughtry Wins Big at AMAs

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:20:00 GMT

Looks like a good week to be an American Idol runner-up. First, one gets engaged and is probably pregnant, and now another kicks ass at the AMAs. Daughtry, Chris Daughtry's self-titled band, won three awards at last night's American Music Awards, taking honors for Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Favorite Breakthrough Artist. Their third award was for best Adult Contemporary Artist, beating out heavyweights such as Norah Jones and John Mayer. If you'll remember, Daughtry, a father of four, was fourth runner up on season five of American Idol

I would make a joke about Taylor Hicks here, but those Soul Patrol people would probably kick my ass.
