William H. Macy Gives The Best Parenting Advice, Ever!

trix — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:31:00 GMT

William H. Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman must have the strongest marriage ever. I say this because he has the best relationship advice for new parents.

“When my pals have kids, I look at them and say ‘look, these kids are almost bullet proof. They can take anything, but I tell you what’s on the critical list: your relationship with your wife.’ You’d better make a date and take your wife out within a month – whether you want to, or not – and you can’t talk about the kid. And you’d better have a romantic weekend within two months because it tears couples apart, these babies do.”

Yeah!, I didn't follow that advice, I was too busy with a child that didn't sleep.

Do you have regular date nights with your significant other?

Felicity Huffman Was Scared of Motherhood

trix — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:33:00 GMT

Did you take to parenthood like a duck takes to water? I did not and as everyone else realize that it's kind of a learn as you go thing.

Felicity Huffman is just like the rest of us, she says she, “ Did not enter into motherhood with any sense of equanimity or grace", and that “I’m surrounded by women who are much better mothers than I am, and they come to it much more naturally.”

Oh Felicity, they are just faking it. Parenthood is hard, motherhood is harder than anything I've ever done.

She was very candid about her journey into motherhood in an interview and I just have to share it with you.

She explained her trepidation about motherhood, “I felt unequal to the task, I felt like I was moving from mistake to mistake, sleep-deprived forever.” She loves being a mom to her two girls but, she realizes, “Happiness is {not} anything like finding the perfect pair of black pants and breakfast in bed.”

She also explained why she doesn't bring her girls to work with her, “I’m not good at that multi-tasking thing: kids, conversation, kids, work. I find that very difficult. Also there is sort of a rarefied air around a set, which is weird.”

If she has a message for other parents struggling to “do it all,” it is this: ”Know your story, the story you have told yourself about your past…the decisions you have made.” That way, Felicity says, “at least when you are inflicting your unconscious or your views, you are a little bit aware of it.” When one of the girls recently lamented to Felicity that she feels “so different” from everyone else, Felicity told her she could relate. ”I said, ‘I think it’s part of human nature that you would feel different and that you would feel like you don’t belong,’” she recalls. “You feel like you are the odd one out… It just feels like that — even if you are the center of everything.”

I love the real moms in Hollywood that, yes, rely on a nanny while they are working, but actually dive in headfirst, during their "off" time.

By the way, how cute is that picture?

Hollywood Pin-Ups 1940s Style: Celebrities Get Sexy

Sassy Smith — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Photographer Timothy White has used celebrities to re-create the pin-up icons from the 1940s era in a new book titled Hollywood Pin-Ups. Some of the women who were photographed are Kate Hudson, Cindy Crawford, Susan Sarandon, Rebecca DeMornay, Felicity Huffman (seen above), Jennifer Beals, Denise Richards and Vanessa Williams, to name a few.

Photos after the jump (some slightly NSFW)!

The book was inspired by artist Alberto Vargas, whose famous "Vargas Girls" were featured in Esquire magazine in the 1940s and were later painted on World War II pilot aircrafts.

The L.A. Times said that White didn't want women who looked like 15-year-olds. "I wanted bodies that were very different. That was my only critera."

The proceeds of the book will go to Oxfam America.

Susan Sarandon, 62, mom to Eva, Jack and Miles. OMG the woman is SIXTY-TWO!

Cindy Crawford, 42 - mom to Presley and Kaia

Kate Hudson, 29 - One son, Ryder Russell.

Jennifer Beals, 44 - Has one daughter with Ken Dixon and stepmom to two other children.

Rebecca DeMornay, 49 - Mom to two girls Sophia and Veronica.

Felicity Huffman, 45 - Has two daughters Sofia and Georgia.

The Writer's Strike is Officially Over; Housewives Can Start Sleeping Around Again

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:40:00 GMT

After exactly 100 days, the writer's strike is officially over. Writers Guild of America members voted on Tuesday, and as of 7pm Tuesday evening they had voted overwhelmingly in favor of ending their walkout.

A total of 3,775 Guild members voted in both Los Angeles and New York. Guild leaders immediately sent an e-mail letter to over 10,500 writers who walked off the job on Nov. 5, instructing them to return to work on Wednesday morning.

So now those Desperate Housewives can get back to work. At least until June, when Screen Actors Guild contracts expire and the industry may be faced with yet another walkout. Better get your NetFlix up to date.

Felicity Huffman Wants a Few "Desperate" Kids to Die

Karen — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:04:00 GMT

When we last left Wisteria Lane, a cyclone had ripped through the tiny street and Lynette Scavo was huddled in a tub with neighbour Karen McCluskey after chasing a stupid cat. It was true Desperate Housewives ridiculousness, and fans of the show are waiting patiently while the next epidsode isn't set to air until after Christmas.

When Lynette emerged from the wreckage, the home that housed her husband and kids had fallen and she has no idea if her family is alive.

Actress Felicity Huffman, who plays Lynnette, hopes not, as she told USA Today that she would like "some of Lynette's kids to die."

"There's such anticipation that all of Lynette's family won't make it back." But "they're all lovely little actors."

Whit called it first: these Desperate Housewives need to get back to work and stop acting crazy!

What's up with the cast of Desperate Housewives? They get a couple of weeks off thanks to the writer's strike and they just go crazy. Maybe they really are desperate.

A naked Marcia Cross in all of her untrimmed glory was spread all over the internet.

Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria. Then he didn't. We're thinking he did.

Teri Hatcher got sued. Then she turned about 7 years younger than she looks.

Nicolette Sheridan isn't pregnant says Michael Bolton.

Not to be outdone, Felicity Huffman was fantastic on 30 Rock.

Desperate & Dumb? Teri Hatcher Gets Sued

Sassy Smith — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 13:04:00 GMT

Desperate Housewives star, Teri Hatcher is being sued.

Hatcher is being sued for $2.3 million dollars by a cosmetic company, Hydroderm, which claims she broke a contract by promoting a rival lip gloss. *Gasp* Who knew there was such nastiness between lip glosses?

Court documents released today, accuse the 43 year old actress of endorsing products of another firm, City Cosmetics, despite having a contract with Hydroderm since November 2005. Hydroderm claims that Hatcher posed for photos and talked up the rival company's products in interviews, specifically "praising a City Cosmetics lip gloss which competes with Hydroderm's own lip product."

Reps for Teri Hatcher refused to comment on the matter. Isn't that always the way? Guess they gotta decide which way to spin it!
