Meg and Daisy - Why the Frowny Faces?

trix — Sat, 09 May 2009 12:31:00 GMT

I'm going to guess that these two are frowning because of their choice of clothing. The weather changed so drastically this week in California, that many of us weren't prepared for it.

Today it's 96 degrees and we're only an hour north of LA, so tights long sleeves and a turtle neck are probably not a good idea.

Yes, I know the pictures are from a couple of days ago, but still it was hot then too.

Meg Ryan and Daisy True - Walking Buddies

trix — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:33:00 GMT

Meg Ryan and Daisy True walk to pre-school. I wonder how far they have to walk and if they are running late do they drive?

Daisy keeps getting cuter and cuter and her little glasses are adorable. I don't have girls so I always drool over cute little girl clothes, and that jacket is pretty darn cute.

I wonder what the extra pair of shoes is for.

Dennis Quaid Visits Oprah and Cedars-Sinai - Video

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:34:00 GMT

It's been 16 months since Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly were faced with a parent's worst nightmare. Their newborn twins had each been given an accidental overdose, about 1,000 times the normal dosage, of the blood thinner Heparin by the staff of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and the survival of the babies was in question.

Three months ago the couple reached a settlement with Cedars-Sinai and yesterday they aired a video of their return to the hospital, this time with a crew from Oprah Winfrey's show, in which they were given a tour of steps taken to ensure the mistake is not repeated.

Said Quaid about the now healthy twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, "I just remember thinking that … this did happen for a reason. These two little kids, 12 days old, they're gonna change the world in some way, and I think that reason is to raise awareness, and to get something done about computerized record keeping and bar coding in hospitals."

Here is a sample from the video which aired earlier this week:

Dennis Quaid Drunk in Vegas - Not The Perfect Family Man

trix — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 23:04:00 GMT

What on earth did Dennis Quaid think was going to happen when these pictures were snapped in Vegas? Did he really think that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

He sure doesn't look like the perfect family man in them, unless of course he's thinking of adopting these young girls. His wife Kimberly may have something to say about that though, she probably has her hands full with the twins.

Dennis Quaid Stuffs His Face

trix — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:33:00 GMT

Dennis Quaid should definitely think about taking smaller bites.

He has his little Thomas, watching his every move. He's going to think it's okay to take such big bites and that could be dangerous. We all know how little kids like to shove as much food in their mouths as possible.

Thomas is getting to be such a big boy and they are dressing hims so cute. I just love converse shoes on little boys, adorable.

The family must not be too worried about the paparazzi, sitting against the window for all the world to see.

Quaid Overdose Case is Closed

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:36:00 GMT

As we reported earlier, the Quaids have settled with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a potentially fatal overdose of blood thinners given to their new twins. They're getting $750,000 from the hospital and now the deal is official, as of yesterday. Part of the deal is that Cedars-Sinai won't admit any wrongdoing.

Um, what? I've never understood this crap. You won't say you were wrong but you're going to give me three-quarters of a million dollars? What, out of the goodness of your hearts?

Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone Quaid were given 1,000 times the normal dose of heparin, very easily could have died, and yet they did nothing wrong?! Freaking lawyers. And doctors.

And yeah, the hospital got a fine of $25,000 by the California Department of Health for the error, which is less than a slap on the wrist.

The Quaids have also sued the manufactuer of Heparin, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, for negligence regarding their poorly labeled bottles.

I'm not generally for lawsuits, but I say good for Dennis and Kimberly Quaid. I think if someone screwed with my family, I'd be all over the litigiousness myself.

Dennis Quaid and Wife Settle Over Babies' Overdose

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:37:00 GMT

After over a year of fighting, Dennis and Kimberly Quaid have finally settled with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the accidental overdose of their twins last year. Two weeks after their twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, were born, they were given a huge overdose of Heparin, which is a blood thinner. They spent subsequent days fighting for their lives.

Well, the Quaids agreed to settle for $750,000. The papers filed in L.A. Superior Court yesterday say, "The settlement is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties and their respective legal representatives, and is intended to avoid the time, expense and uncertainty of litigation." In other words, Cedars-Sinai done messed up GOOD.

The California Department of Public Health also fined Cedars-Sinai $25,000, which seems a pittance for something like that.

The babies are now in fine health, thank God. However, Dennis and Kimberly also have a lawsuit pending against Baxter Healthcare, the makers of Heparin. They say the packaging is at fault, since the adult and pediatric doses look so similar.

What? The healthcare industry making a mistake? Impossible! I can't believe it!

Dennis Quaid Doesn't Deny Being a Cheater

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Oh, man. Dennis has the CRAZY EYES!

Recently, Meg Ryan told the world about her ex-husband's infidelity. She said of Dennis Quaid: "It was a great story. But what wasn’t in the story was the reality of my marriage for nine years. Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that once I was divorced."

Well, Dennis Quaid isn't sitting down about this. He told the NY Daily News:

"It was eight years ago, and I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship. Also, I find it regrettable that our son, Jack, has to be reminded in a public way of the turmoil and pain that every child feels in a divorce. I, myself, moved on years ago and am fortunate to have a happy, beautiful family."

In other words, "Can't we please forget about what a cheater I am? My wife certainly has."

I'd say Meg hit a sore spot. Why else would Dennis feel a need to respond?

Meg Ryan Talks About Being the "Scarlet Woman"

Karl Erikson — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:23:00 GMT

The October issue of "In Style" magazine has Meg Ryan blabbing about the end of her marriage to Dennis Quaid, the affairs, the works. 46-year-old Ryan was once dubbed the "Scarlet Woman" - you know, after she was "America's sweetheart." Her latest film, "The Women," has been an enormous disappointment in movie theaters, only racking up $5 million this past week.

She talked about Dennis Quaid's affairs. "Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful. I am not a victim. I was there. I was in that marriage for a really long time." Quaid and Ryan have a son together, Jack, now 16. She also has little Daisy True, who she adopted from China a couple of years ago.

Meg also says that Russell Crowe, who she had an affair with, was not responsible for her divorce from Quaid. "Russell didn't break up the marriage. I was a mess. I hurt him, too, at the end. I couldn't be in another long relationship. It wasn't the time for that, so I got out."

I can't remember when Meg went and screwed up her lips, but it wouldn't surprise me if Crowe ditched her for that debacle. Those are some messed up lips, yo.

Meg Ryan-Get The Heck Out Of Hollywood

trix — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:37:00 GMT

Meg Ryan's new movie The Women is out in the theater, but she feels that she'll never quite as popular as she was.

You can never go back.

Meg is okay with that. She doesn't have any desire to play any of the roles she used to play. She said, "I think when Hollywood is done with me, I will probably be done with it. I'm not interested in playing those stock characters any more and I don't feel sad that I don't get those kind of offers." When Meg Ryan hears those words ringing in the air she'll head out of town.

After her very public split from Dennis Quaid in 2001 she took some time off from public life. She wanted to relax and take it easy. No matter the reason, she missed out on quite a few years of prime acting.

Meg Ryan Talks About Adoption But "The Women" Still Sucks Ass

Karl Erikson — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Meg Ryan, ex movie darling, is back in the movies again. The mother of Jack Henry, 16, with Dennis Quad, and adopted Daisy True, 3, stars in the new movie "The Women." She sat down with the Los Angeles Times and talked about her career and family.

Ryan, 46, hasn't been working much of late. Instead, she's been traveling. She adopted her second child, Daisy, from China in 2006 and spends most of her time with her and Jack. "I've been famous since I was a teenager. There are a lot of empty spaces in that," she says, elusively. "I just feel like I've been filling in the cracks a little bit. I feel very fortunate, very free. I haven't had any big desire to work."

When talking about Daisy, Meg gets her wallet out and removes the original photograph that the orphanage gave her of Daisy. She says, "I always thought I'd do it. It's such a deliberate act, this adoption, as opposed to getting pregnant. You have to be very, very awake."

Did she feel like she was rescuing a child by adopting her? "It wasn't that. I just saw that face and I knew we were just related. It taught me a lot about any expectations you have in life. Just toss them away. Throw them out."

Kind of like she did with her old lips, I guess. I used to have such a crush on Meg until she went and fucked up her lips. *sigh*

By the way, "The Women" also stars Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, and Jada Pinkett Smith, and the film opens today. The critics are blasting the shit out of it. In fact, some critics are saying that "The Women" is SO bad it sets back Chick Flicks several hundred years. I'm not even making that up. Rotten Tomatoes is currently scoring the movie with a miserable 7% freshness rating. That's like "Ishtar" bad.

Some snippets of the reviews?

The L.A. Times: "It's hard to say what's sadder, that The Women's intended audience had to wait 14 years for a film like this or that that long wait has been almost for naught."

Filmcritic.com: "No cliché, no matter how it screams and pleads for mercy, makes it out of this baby untapped."

Minneapolis Star Tribune: "Despite its proud legacy and promising cast, The Women is a miscarriage of comedy."

New York Daily News: "Is it an exaggeration to call The Women the worst movie of the year? Well, yeah, probably. But it may be the most disappointing, given all the effort that went into it."

The Times (U.K.): "A costly and bemusing disaster. Dull is too kind a word."

Yeah, I'll be rushing out to see THAT. No question. *cough*

Meg Ryan is back!

Meg took a break from Hollywood life, and took the time to raise her kids away from the glare and time schedule of the spotlights. She, her son Jack and daughter Daisy True, can wake up in the morning and decide to go to the beach or go explore the day away if they want to.

She is in a new film called The Women, which will be released September 12th.

She was gone so long because she felt that "there were some gaps in my experience that I wanted to fill in and that's what I've been doing." She has "tremendous kids [and] great friends" and took time off to catch up on the years she had dedicated to her films.

That sounds like what so many of my mom friends want to do, except it's from their dead end jobs, not there million dollar movie careers.

She adopted Daisy in 2006 and Meg says that Daisy is, "very in charge," but has a "delicious" sweet side to her as well.

Dennis Quaid and Wife Have Knockdown Dragout!

Karl Erikson — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Ah, the beauties of marriage. Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly Buffington, had a major fight while in Florence, Italy on vacation. The parents of twins Thomas and Zoe Quaid had a mostly great vacation, except for this argument, caught on camera.

The twins, if you'll recall, were incorrectly treated with a drug in hospital and nearly died. The Quaids are said to be involved in suing over the incident, and rightly so.

Quaid was recently seen in "The Horsemen" and his next film, due to be released in October, is called "The Express." It's a story about the first African American to win a Heisman trophy. He's also wrapped up filming on "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra," coming out next year.

Meg Ryan has really let herself go! J/K Not really, It's just a fat suit.

Meg is starring in a comedy called "My Mom's Hot Boyfriend" and for the sake of the part in spending 3 hours a day in the make up chair to don a fat suit and fat face. She is transformed in the role from fat to svelte and gets to date Antonio Banderas.

Where are all the people that are usually in a snit about this kind of thing?

Dennis Quaid and Family Leaving Hollywood

Karen — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:04:00 GMT

No he is not retiring, but the actor says it's a "no-brainer" to join family in Houston Texas.

"We have a lot of family there and we have a really nice plot of land," he says. "We have 30 or 40 friends and family members within two miles of us. Its kind of a no-brainer."

It was apparent when his twins were in medical crisis with a heparin overdose, that the couple are very private.

"They went through a medical catastrophe. Thank God it had a happy ending," Dennis says.

Quaid and his wife have developed a foundation to help prevent such medical errors and was recently in Washington to speak to Congress about it: "We would like to start by bar coding," he says. "With a bar code, [a nurse] can scan the medicine and scan the bracelet of the patient. Scan her own tag and if theres a mistake, it will come up."

Smart. I hope it catches on and works. We at Famecrawler wish the the very best with their upcoming move.

The actor sees the release of three films this year: "The Express," "Smart People" and "The Vantage." Quaid recently received the Galaxy Award.

Actor Dennis Quaid testified in front of congress this week following the accidental overdose of blood thinners administered to his newborn twins in November by the staff at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He urged Congress to take a stronger federal role in dealing with pharmaceutical companies- something that the FDA has argued against.

Quaid argued that not doing so would turn the public into "uninformed and uncompensated lab rats.

"Like many Americans, I believed that a big problem in our country was frivolous lawsuits," he added. "But now I know that the courts are often the only path to justice."

Good luck, Dennis.
