Will Ferrell Wants To Lather You Up

Josh loposer — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Just in time for summer vacation, the always amusing Will Ferrell is releasing his own lineup of sun care products to protect your family from the harsh rays of the sun, while helping out a good cause.

Will's sunscreen lineup consists of three humorously named sunscreens: Sexy Hot Tan, Sunstroke, and Forbidden Fruit may not sound uh... family friendly, but the cause they benefit is.

100% of the proceeds from each 6oz bottle of sunscreen go to Cancer for College, an organization that awards college scholarships for teens with cancer.

Personally, I plan to collect all three, but of course some may find the labels a little inappropriate for their children. So, I guess it's OK to let your kids put on sunscreen from a bottle that features a little girl getting her swimsuit pulled off by a puppy, but not Will Ferrell. I see how it is.

As embarrassing as the labels might be, I'm sure Will Ferrell will have no reservations about lathering up his two sons -- Magnus, 5, and Matthias ,2 and 1/2 -- with the stuff.

Another Reason to Love Hugh Jackman

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:38:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman heard about all the fans camping out for the premier of Wolverine in Tempe, mentioned that he would buy them breakfast and guess what, he did.

He followed through on his promise and spent over $ 4000.00 on bagels and coffee for the campers.

Seriously, he is a class act. I wonder if he showed up to help deliver the goodies, because that would be awesome.

I can't wait to see the movie, Wolverine has always been my favorite character from X-Men.

Hugh Jackman is A Triple Threat

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:33:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman, you're so dreamy.

Did you know he wanted to be a dancer when he was a kid? He started down that path when he was 12, but gave it up when his brother said, 'Ah, you poof.' Hugh says, " So I gave it up. I dropped it like a hot rock. I didn't have the guts of Billy Elliot at the time!"

I personally think he's adorable and incredibly talented, he's a triple threat. He is embarrassed by the dancer tagline. He added, I'm always very nervous about the word dancer next to my name because anyone who's really trained in dance will go, 'This guy's fudging so badly.' "

I was impressed with his performance at the Academy Awards. Were you?

Hugh Jackman Says No Way Jose To More Kids

trix — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:31:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborah Lee Furness say they are done having/adopting kids.

They always knew they wanted to adopt but he says, "For Deb and me, our family is the most important thing to us, but we travel so much that we fear if we have more kids, it'll be too much. Mixed-race babies have such a hard time being adopted that Deb and I checked off that box specifically when we were filling outour forms. "Our lawyer brought the form back to us and said, 'This is not the time to be politically correct. Are you sure this is what you want?' We were definite about it. Adoption is about taking a baby into your home - and your heart. It's the best thing we've ever done".

That's so nice. I'm not trying to be trite, because it is super nice.

I think they are my new favorite celebrity family that I would like to meet, and not just because I have a crush on him either.

Hugh Jackman To Donate $100,000 to Charity

trix — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:02:00 GMT

Celebrities do this kind of thing, more often than we realize, but Hugh Jackman took his desire to donate, to Twitter.

He wants fellow Tweeters to explain in 140 words or less why he should donate to their favorite charity. I looked at the twitter stream and I don't see how he could pick just one, there are so many great causes.

He also has a tweet out their to Ryan Seacrest asking if they should announce the "winner" on the 24th.

His kids are old enough to know what kind of person their dad is. I think this just reaffirms the fact that they are lucky to have him as a daddy and that they will learn important things from him.

I think he should donate to The March of Dimes. The March for Maddie is very moving and the family isn't asking for anything, except for you to donate to the charity that helped keep Maddie and so many other babies alive.

Debi Mazar and the Big Red Dog

Debi Mazar of HBO's "Entrouage" and tons of movies were on hand to promote Scholastic Media's National BE Big! campaign aat FAO Schwarz in NYC.

It seems that Clifford has some big ideas on sharing, helping, responsibility, honesty and other attributes I generally like in a person.

Debi has two daughters, Evelyn (7) and Giulia (3 next week) and, I'm guessing here, an excellent collection of Clifford books. No word on whether or not the girls were in the audience.

10% of the event proceeds went to the BE BIG Fund at HandsOn Network.

Celebrity Guess Who: She May Adopt A Baby!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:07:00 GMT

Many celebrities adopt children - and there's another famous mom who would like to expand her family and she's considering it. She has one daughter with her ex and is a performer and a writer of children's books - any guesses?

Find out after the jump!

Former Spice Girl and author, Geri Halliwell, who has daughter Bluebell with ex, screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, would love to have more children.

Says Geri, "I'd love to have more kids. But I can't say it will happen.

"I also think about adopting, and it's something I want to give a lot more serious thought to.

"But who knows what the future will hold?"

Geri is currently single - she had met and started dating dancer Ivan Velez, while on the Spice Reunion tour, but the two have reportedly split.

Ricky Martin Admits He Needed Help With His Twins

Sassy Smith — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:04:00 GMT

New dad Ricky Martin has twin boys, and being a first-time parent is hard enough with one baby, and having two doubles that! The 36-year-old admits he needed help, so he finally let his mom step in.

Ricky says he was overcome with emotion when he held his sons - Matteo and Valentino - for the first time.

"I was sweating because I was so nervous.

"My family was there, and friends. But I just needed to look at my sons. They were swaddled but I was like, 'I want to see their toes, I want to see their bellies. I want to touch their hands!'"

He adds, "I needed to hold them. I wanted them to know my scent. It was a special moment."

Martin wanted to prove he was a good dad, so he refused to accept any help from his family members.

He says, "The first two weeks I did everything for them myself."

But his mom stepped in - she knew he needed help. Ricky says, "One day my mum said, 'Ricky please! Allow us to help you. You're a zombie already.'

"I wanted to change them, feed them, burp them, bathe them, all with no help. Mum said, 'Okay, enough is enough, please, can I burp the child? It's not about you, it's about the baby.'" He realized, it's OK to ask for help.

"So that's when I realized there was nothing to be ashamed about asking for help."

Nothing at all Ricky - all new parents need help - even experienced parents want a break now and again!

Ricky's twins were born in August, 2008 by surrogacy.

Former Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell admits to being insecure when it came to her looks and figure, but after having her daughter Bluebell, she's changed for the better. Plus, she wants to set a good example for her little girl.

Says the 36-year-old singer, "In the past, I always had my hang-ups, believing I wasn't pretty enough, or a good enough singer, or thin enough.

"But now I'm much more accepting of myself. A lot of my body issues have naturally settled down."

She adds, "I don't work out because I don't want to sacrifice any time I can spend with Bluebell."

The mom-of-one admits to having eating issues. "I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was."

Let's hope that she is for her daughter's sake!
