FameCrawler : Colin Farrell

Supporting Matilda

Whit Honea — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:33:00 GMT

You may have heard about the three A-listers, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell, respectively, who are donating their paychecks to Heath Ledger's little girl Matilda.

Do you know the whole story? Strollerderby does, and they like to tell it.

Colin Farrell Says Son Saved His Life

Josh loposer — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:31:00 GMT

Colin Farrell's wrap sheet is just about as long and filled with embarrassing details as any hard-partying, hedonistic Hollywood star around. But the new Colin Farrell is done with all of that, and he says his son was one of the biggest reasons he's around today.

“I don’t know if I would be here if I hadn’t had him…He was a huge part of me going in and making certain changes in my life.” He reflects back on the years he spent drinking, doing drugs and bed-hopping with a simple admission: “I had a blast of a time. I went over to Los Angeles and it was handed to me on a plate, parties in the Playboy mansion and this and that and the other."

“The negative aspect to all this good fortune was loneliness. I never figured it out… I just had a broken heart and was profoundly sad. I had all these wonderful things in my life and yet I found myself at this point.”

It's good to see Colin doing better and being there for his son James, who has a really rare genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome. Carrying on a successful acting career while taking care of children has got to be a challenge, and with a special need child, you have to work that much harder.

Also, I though he was totally hilarious and likeable in his recent dark comedy In Bruges... a totally underrated film in my opinion.

Colin Farrell Is Yours for the Taking

trix — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:04:00 GMT

Colin Farrell is back on the market.

He and his girlfriend Emma Forrest have called it quits, I wonder if it's because he is an egotistical ass.

The couple broke up because he didn't introduce her to his family and didn't really acknowledge her to the rest of the known world.

I can't say I'm surprised, he seems like such a greezy (sic) kind of a guy. I'm sure he is a doting father and all that good stuff, but I do hope that little James has another male influence in his life as he is growing up. He's going to need to see another way of treating women than the way his dad does.

10 Hottest Celebrity Mamas

Karl Erikson — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 13:38:00 GMT

The University of Oregon put together a list of the hottest celebrity moms. And you know, college kids...they are the arbiter of all things hot. *cough* This list is highly suspect if you ask me. But why don't you take a look and decide for yourself? What do you think?

1) Vanessa Paradis. She's a singer, actress, and Johnny Depp's lover. The couple have Lily-Rose Melody Depp and John Christopher "Jack" Depp III. She's shown at the top there and here with her kids. I don't see it. Not so hot if you ask me. But she probably has a great personality.

Photos Photos

2) Kim Bordenave, former model. Had a child (James) with actor Colin Farrell.

3) Kim Porter, 3 kids with Puff Daddy, or Piff Duddy, or Diddy. Whatever the hell he goes by these days. I just call him asshole. She's not even meh as far as I'm concerned.

Photo

4) Camila Alves, Brazilian model, Matthew McConaughey’s son's mommy. She's hot, all right.

Photo

5) Naomi Watts, currently preggers, and already a mama with Liev Schreiber. They had a son, Alexander last year. Definitely hot.

6) Nicole Richie, famous for absolutely nothing. Or being Lionel Richie's daughter, which is the equivalent of absolutely nothing. She had a daughter with Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden, Harlow Winter Kate Madden. NOT hot. At all. Her being on this list is proof that the University of Oregon is full of students with severe visual impairment.

7) Elizabeth Hurley, actress. Most definitely hot. She has a son, Damian, with not-so-hot Steve Bing, some rich film producer. "Bedazzled" is a prime example of her hotness.

8) Bridget Moynahan, actress, was in "Coyote Ugly," "I, Robot," and "Sum of All Fears." Had a son with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Yeah, she's gorgeous.

Photo

9) Melanie Brown, aka Scary Spice. Has a daughter, Angel Irish Murphy Brown, daddy is Eddie Murphy. She's cute.

Photo

10) Jillian Grace, Playboy Playmate who gave birth to a baby daughter very recently. David Spade is the daddy, which means beautiful Jillian has a lot of issues.

James Farrell is One Loving Little Boy

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Colin Farrell's little boy, James (nearly 5), got into Los Angeles Airport the other day. Here he is with Colin's sister, Catherine Farrell. James clearly loves his Aunt Catherine very much. Before he was 1, he was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome - a very rare neurogenetic disorder.

But Colin, 32, said, "As far as I'm concerned, he's exactly the way he should be. It's not different to me. He has his own path. He's just brilliant."

Farrell's next movie to be released in theaters is "Pride and Glory," which comes out next month. It's a story about a multi-generational family of police officers in New York City.

Like I Needed Any More Reason To Love Johnny Depp

HerBadMother — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:42:00 GMT

Or Colin Farrell, for that matter. I never did love Jude Law, but this just might change my mind.

The three actors have donated the entirety of their paychecks for their work on The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus - the film that Heath Ledger was working on at the time of his death - to Ledger's daughter, Matilda. Depp, Farrell and Law each play versions of Ledger's character.

According to director Terry Gilliam: "They didn’t take money — it goes to Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you’re part of that, you think, ‘Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.’ And we’ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help."

Wonderful people, who are also hot. It's almost too much to take. I'd almost rather that Johnny Deep were an asshole. You know, just to take the edge off of his deliciousness.

What Celeb Was Spotted Buying A Pregnancy Test?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:11:00 GMT

Are you believing me now? That there's a huge celebrity baby boom in Hollywood? Oh yes! What celeb was seen purchasing a pregnancy test?

Bad boy Colin Farrell and Emma Forrest, his current girlfriend were spotted at a Rite-Aid pharmacy in Hollywood. Two eyewitnesses saw the couple purchased an EPT Pregnancy test.

Farrell and Forrest - who's an English writer - have been together for only 6 months. Maybe she's the one though? If it turns out the test is positive, their baby will join Colin's 4-year-old son James (mom is model Kim Bordenave).

Hmm, maybe they were just picking it up for someone else? Katie Holmes perhaps? Ha.

And if that is a bona fide wedding ring - who the hell'd he marry? He hasn't been linked with anyone for over a year, and he's not romantically involved with his baby mama Kim Bordenave. So - who could it be? Or does Colin just like his bling?

Jude Law and His Quality Time

Jude Law and his daughter Iris, 7, enjoyed a little father-daughter time in London.

It looks like they happened by a Starbucks for a treat and a Tesco for some groceries on their stroll.

Is it me or does it seem like he has a death grip on her hand?

Iris is adorable in her little non-matching outfit, it appears that Sienna Miller had some influence on her before her and Jude split.

Michelle Malkin Terrorizes Rachael Ray

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:50:00 GMT

I hate to give conservative gasbag idiot Michelle Malkin any more attention than she deserves, but this one takes the cake (or the glazed, whichever you prefer.) Malkin, who appears to have way too much time on her hands and spends her days watching online ads for donut shops, has cased Dunkin' Donuts to remove one of their ads featuring Rachael Ray because Malkin says it promotes terrorism.

In the ad, spokesperson Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin says resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is "popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos."

In the same column, Malkin also takes on actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, saying they have been photographed in similar scarves that were "distinctive hate couture."

Let it be noted that Malkin is vehemently opposed to immigration, is for racial profiling and says the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was a good thing.

Malkin might want to spend a little less time obsessing over accessories worn by rappers and spokespeople for fast food, and more time teaching her kids not to hate.

Hate couture, indeed. Michelle Malkin should know - she's swathed in it.

Colin Farrell Googles Himself ALOT

Sassy Smith — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:09:00 GMT

What does Colin Farrell do in his spare time when he's not acting or parenting his young son James?

Colin Farrell can't stop Googling himself. The Irish-born Farrell admits that he types his name into the internet search engine everyday, because he loves reading about himself! Hey at least he's honest.

Colin said, "I'm ashamed to admit it but I was bored the other day and I looked up my name on Google. Who am I kidding, I do it all the time!"

He said that he often reads bad reviews of his performances in films.

"For 'Alexander' I read every review I could get my hands on and I would say they were 80 to 90 per cent negative. Like, so personally insulting. But I read them all, and even started writing them in my head."

And FYI, if Farrell Googled 'Colin Farrell 12 inch' he would get us here at Famecrawler - in the number one spot (and # 2 & 3) on page one out of 56,200. Or if he typed in 'Colin Farrell heart of gold' he'd find us here again at FC on the first page in the # 3 spot. Not too shabby! Shameless plug, I know.

Colin Farrell Likes Sweet Skin and Russian Men

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:05:00 GMT

It seems Colin Farrell has given up his boozing ways for something a little more...relaxing. The actor says his new favorite activity is immersing himself in a Russian steam bath while covered in honey.

"There's something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men," Farrell said.

Hey, we all have our ways of unwinding after a long day of working and parenting. Farrell, dad to James, 4, just happens to use condiments and Russkies.

Bad Is The New Good - Colin Farrell Loves His Son

Sassy Smith — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:05:00 GMT

Colin Farrell might have a bad boy image in Hollywood but he's got a heart of gold when it comes to his son.

Farrell's son suffers from Angelman Syndrome, a neuro-genetic disorder and he's very thankful that his boy, now 4, had an early diagnosis.

The actor, 31, spoke about his son on the Irish talk show Tubridy Tonight. "He's nothing but a gift. As far as I'm concerned he's exactly the way he should be."

Although Farrell was on TV to promote his newest movie, In Bruges, he spoke of his son James and his disorder, which was revealed publicly last year.

"Angelman's is a neuro-genetic disorder. The 15th chromosome is dormat. It affects their fine motor skills. They say that one in 30,000 children is affected by it."

Colin said that James was showing signs of the illness before he'd turned one. Farrell said it was lucky that his son was given an early diagnosis.

"I've been very lucky that it was early because he started having seizures at about eight or nine months." It was initially thought that James was suffering with cerebral palsy, but he was soon diagnosed correctly.

Children with the genetic disorder, can have speech, movement and balance impairment. James walked his first few steps just last fall, when he was 4-years-old.

"It's just different. It's not different to me. He has his own path. He's just brilliant."

Colin and model Kim Bordenave, James' mother, share custody. He decided to go public about his son's disorder after people started asking questions about his involvement with the Special Olympics.

"I didn't talk about my son [but] I felt like I was betraying him, like it could be misconstrued as shame, which would be terrible, because he's such a celebration."

Colin addressed the concept of "normal." He said his son is happier than so many people in the world. "I look around and I see people who move perfectly, who walk with grace, who speak with great diction and clarity and a great use of the English language and we're all miserable f*ckers - including me, at times.

"And then I see this fella who doesn't move the way what's perceived to be 'normal' is, and he's as happy as can be."

Wow - I truly have a greater respect for Colin Farrell - as a mom with a special needs child myself, I'm constantly being discrimated against for not having a 'normal' child, Colin absolutely summed it up perfectly.

Colin Farrell: Taking On Heath's Role A 'Painful Honor'

HerBadMother — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:15:00 GMT

Colin Farrell says that he's honored beyond measure to be taking on one of the three roles that will replace Heath Ledger in "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus," but painfully so.

He says he accepted the role as a tribute to Heath. "It's about getting Heath's work out there. He's too good for any of his work not to be seen," Colin told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "It makes me feel uncomfortable to think about it too much but it's an incredibly painful honor to have, you know, and an honor I wish wasn't bestowed, but an honor nonetheless."

The other actors who are taking over Heath's role are Johnny Depp and Jude Law. (Note: all of the actors playing this role? ALL dads. Go dads!) They will each take over playing Tony, Heath's character, when he steps through a magic mirror into an alternate reality at several different points in the film.

I, for one, am thrilled that we'll get to see a Colin-Johnny-Jude sandwich - of a sort - but, yeah - the cost of it was far too high.

Heath Ledger's Final Movie Has Been Saved

HerBadMother — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 23:02:00 GMT

After Heath's Ledger's sudden death, there were some doubts that Terry Gilliam was going to finish The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the movie that Heath was filming at the time of his death. At one point, shooting had been cancelled and all cast and crew sent home. But it looks like some of Hollywood's biggest male stars have stepped up to step into Heath's very big shoes and get the picture completed.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will each take turns becoming multiple incarnations of Heath’s character transformed in the "magical" world of the film, according to AintItCoolNews.com.

Heath was playing Tony, a mysterious outsider, in the American fantasy adventure film about a traveling theater company giving their audience much more than they were expecting.

Colin Farrell Macks On Mary-Kate

What is up with these Olsen girls and their predeliction for older single dads? Is it a father-figure complex? Did all those years on Full House, seeing John Stamos wander around off-set in his underpants, just mess them up?

At least Colin Farrell is, or seems, a little more age-appropriate for Mary-Kate than Lance Olsen did for Ashley.

Colin Farrell was spotted snuggling up to Mary-Kate at Utah's Lift bar after the premiere of his new movie 'In Bruges' at Sundance over the weekend. Sources say that the public display of affection might not have been reciprocated, but who are we kidding? Colin's totally her type: a younger, better-looking version of Uncle Jesse.

Disturbing? Maybe. But after a few days of writing about Britney sucking up to paparazzi and Jessica Alba experimenting with pube dye, nothing fazes me.

That thing just throws the whole 'I'm a bad-ass' look way off, in much the same way that Brad Pitt's lame newsboy cap does for Brad. Lose the accessories, boys. Really. A kid or two under your arms and some five o'clock shadow are all that you need.

Bad Boy of Hollywood,Colin Farrell Spending Christmas With Son James

Sassy Smith — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 15:02:00 GMT

Perhaps the 'bad boy' of Hollywood, Colin Farrell has settled down a bit?

Farrell, will be spending the holidays with his son James, who suffers from a rare neuro-genetic disorder called Angelman Syndrome. The actor talked about his son's condition a few months ago and says that James is making progress and "shows amazing courage" and that he's "incredibly blessed to have him in my life."

Colin shares custody of his son with his ex-girlfriend, Kim Bordenave.

He added, "All the family will be together. What are we going to do? Nothing. The usual - watch movies, eat food... take it easy." Sounds like the same kind of holiday season most of us experience - eating too much and gaining 5lbs.

Isn't that sweet?

These are the words of Marcia Cross, "I'm deliriously happy! It's scary to be this happy. Oh my god, I mean life is precarious, so I just value every day and every gift."

She was talking about her twin daughters Eden and Savannah, and to a lesser extent her husband Tom Mahoney.

The family is getting ready to celebrate their first Christmas together and they are really looking forward to it. When asked about their plans Marcia responded, "We just don't know yet. It's all new. It's our first Christmas together as a family, and it's probably going to be sort of quiet. I want to go out and take a hike in the woods and have kind of an outdoorsy day. Just all kids, all day. It's just fun."

David Hans Schmidt, Man Who Found Marcia Cross Naked Photos, Is Dead

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 20:35:00 GMT

Here's an interesting addendum to the Marcia Cross naked pictures scandal that's on fire right now: David Hans Schmidt, the man who originally tried to sell the photos, committed suicide in September. Also known as 'The Sultan of Sleaze,' Schmidt was found dead in his Arizona home while under house arrest in the extortion scandal involving Tom Cruise. In that case Schmidt was found guilty of attempting to extort $1 million from Cruise for photos that were stolen from the actor's lavish Italian wedding to Katie Holmes.

Schmidt made a living scouring celebrity refuse bins for incriminating celebrity castoffs. In addition to the Cross photos, some of his other 'finds' included explicit photographs he claimed to have found in Jamie Foxx' garbage and the discovery of Paris Hilton's sex diaries in an abandoned storage locker.
