FameCrawler : Francesca

Nicole, Joel, And Harlow Rock Kidstock

Josh loposer — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:01:00 GMT

Pretty much everything is cuter in miniature: ponies, White Castle burgers, even ~~midgets~~ little people -- so why wouldn't the same apply to outdoor concerts? Apparently, celebrity parents with a touch of hippie in their bloodlines have already figured this out.

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie made brought Harlow out to this year's 3rd annual Kidstock Music and Art Festival at the Greystone Mansion to revel in the music and art of a tiny generation. In order to blend in with the trippy psychedelic surroundings, they opted to dress Harlow up in flowery hippie-chic style.

Who enjoys Kidstock the most: kids or parents? Maybe it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to hold an outdoor music and art festival for toddlers -- since they would probably have more fun in almost any sandbox -- but it is super cute to think about announcements coming over the PA about bad brown gummy worms.

Plus, it provides us with awesome shots of stars hanging out with their little ones.

Sunday Cute Shot - Little Bateman Goes Head and Shoulders Above the Rest

Whit Honea — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:04:00 GMT

Francesca got a ride on daddy Jason Bateman's shoulders as they left the theatre in New York.

Looks like Jason is about to suffer from the common fathering ailment known as 'crumb coif.' It's not fatal.

Cute Kid of the Day - Francesca Bateman

How stinking cute is this kid?

Francesca Nora Bateman looks over her daddy's shoulder while he pays for some veggies at the farmers market.

It's never to early to teach your kids the value of a dollar. Jason might want to teach her how to hold on while on his shoulders, he only has two hands and they look pretty full.

Jason Bateman Falls Into the GAP

Whit Honea — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Jason Bateman and his happy little daughter Francesca (Francesca? That's fun to say!) are among the celebrities featured in the new winter campaign for the Gap.

Does it make you want to go to the Gap?

Juno We're Not Responsible

Um, no we're not responsible. That's what Jason Bateman had to say to Access Hollywood about the 17 Massachusetts girls who got pregnant at the same time so they could have and raise their kids together.

“Unfortunately, we’ve had these instances where guys kill people because of what they hear in rock ‘n roll lyrics or some garbage like that. Look, if you’re going to blame a movie or song for your actions, whether they be good or bad, I think you’re looking at the wrong things to influence your life.”

What a polite answer. Here around the water cooler all we can say is, Really!, you've got to be kidding me, why on earth would they do that and where were their parents. That's the nice version.

He's a much nicer person than I am.

Jason Bateman-Is All Growns Up

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:43:00 GMT

Jason Bateman, 39, is all grown up.

Jason Bateman lucked out when he landed the role of Michael Bluth on Arrested Development and he knows it. He says, "A lot of people in America didn’t watch Arrested Development but folk in LA did and they’re the ones hiring." That role brought him back to the attention of Hollywood. He has been working non-stop since then, which is a double edged sword because all the work takes him away from his wife Amanda and his daughter Francesca.

His wife Amanda is the daughter of the famous 60's singer Paul Anka and Jason has said that she is a big part of the reason that helped him grow up and be a great husband and father.

In talking about his wife Amanda he said in an interview with The Independant "She was a very close friend, and it’s worked because I don’t need to be in a certain mood to like her – she’s like a friend who you never tire of. And since then I haven’t been picking jobs that are frivolous and celebrity-making; they are jobs that are career-making. Hopefully I’ve made some decisions and I’ll reap the benefits. My wife is definitely responsible for a lot of that.”

Jason also talked about the movie Juno, "I mean, Juno's a good film but, good God! They talked about it like it was the second coming. And then, there's other films that get slammed like Smokin' Aces, which I had a small part in. I thought Joe Carnahan did an incredible job and they killed him for it. But who knows? All you can do is just act in these things."

I always thought he was such a punk in Silver Spoons. I remember the episode in which Ricky and Derrick were going to open a shop and Derrick wanted to call it "DERRICKS" so it would have both of their names in it.

Jason Bateman at Kidstock

Whit Honea — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:51:00 GMT

It's Kidstock, stay away from the brown diaper.

Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda took their daughter Francesca to Kidstock in Beverly Hills. It's like woodstock, but for kids, with corporate sponsorship, and in Beverly Hills. Still about the freedom, man, but not so much.

Looks fun though.

Jason Bateman: Read This Post or He'll Drop This Baby

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 16:08:00 GMT

He'll do it too. Jason Bateman is a cold, hard man. He sure dresses nice though. Not only that, he's married to Paul Anka's daughter Amanda. That's pretty freaking cool. That's Francesca Nora Bateman hanging out with her daddy.

Bateman and I go way back. I remember watching "The Hogan Family" and thinking it was the funniest shit on TV. In hindsight it was probably just shit on TV. Maybe they should have had a strike back then. Regardless, he was funny and cool and I could relate. Except for the funny and cool part.

You may be wondering what Bateman is up to now. The picture should have been a clue. This is how he rolls, "I am going to bed now at 10 p.m. instead of getting my nights started at 10 p.m. And I am up at 6:30 a.m. instead of going to bed at 6:30 a.m."

Sound familiar?

The guy is working and doing the dad thing and living the life. That's refreshing in Hollywood.

He wasn't really going to drop the baby.
