Jacko Family Continues Masked Reign Of Terror

Josh loposer — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:35:00 GMT

How long will Michael Jackson make his kids wear creepy masks in public? We'll have to wait and see.

Jacko and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris Michael, and Prince Michael II continued to "hide" their identities from the public in Los Angeles last weekend (by wearing brightly colored masks) officially making the King of Pop one of the weirdest dads on the celebrity parenting circuit.

The masks are supposedly intended to protect the children from the dreaded media (an impulse that I can totally understand). Still, after a few months, isn't the solution starting to be worse than the problem? Not to mention, the masks haven't exactly silenced rumors about Jacko's crazy parenting style... far from it.

You know that something is a bit off with your dad when he decides to name all three of his children after himself (Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II). That's gotta be a pretty good indicator that your dad is either extremely egocentric, or just has a tough time grasping this thing we call reality. In MJ's case, it's probably a mixture of both.

Sam Hornish, Jr., and his 13-month-old daughter Addison shared a moment before the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in Tennessee.

Wait, Addison, are you listening to any of this?

Get it? She has earplugs in because the cars are loud. You can use that.

What Trumps Stroller?

Whit Honea — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:28:00 GMT

The beauty of this picture is that the cheapest thing in it is the stroller (only slightly more expensive is the barrel of oil on Junior's mop).

Tropic Thunder: Have They Gone Too Far?

Whit Honea — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:47:00 GMT

Tropic Thunder stars some of our favorite celebrity dads: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr., and Tom Cruise, and it opens on Friday. It is already pissing people off.

Apparently the film makes a lot of fun at issues that some find taboo. The majority of complaints are coming from the various groups that represent people with mental disabilities. Dozens of people from these organizations picketed the premiere of Tropic Thunder.

The movie is about a group of Hollywood actors that blur the lines between fiction and reality. The actors themselves are characterized as stereotypes and many of their actions are unthinkable- it's a comedy.

The uproar stems from a movie within the movie in which Stiller's character has portrayed a mentally disabled person in order to achieve Oscar consideration, spoofing the likes of Rain Man, I am Sam and Radio, to name a few. Their handling of the subject matter and the wordage used to describe the character isn't PC, and for better or worse, such things are no longer deemed acceptable, not even in a comedy.

A Dreamworks representative says, "We have had productive discussions with representatives of disability advocacy organizations and look forward to working with them closely in the future. However no changes or cuts to the film will be made.

"Tropic Thunder is an R-rated comedy that satirizes Hollywood and its excesses, and makes its point by featuring inappropriate and over-the-top characters in ridiculous situations. The film is in no way meant to disparage or harm the image of individuals with disabilities."

I'm torn on such things. On a personal level, the one I teach my children, I am 100% against discrimination against anyone based on anything (within reason), but as a whole I'm sick of America being handled with PC gloves. I prefer a society with a backbone, not hurt feelings and lawsuits (the favorite pastime out here in CA).

I like a little offense in my comedy. I get what Stiller is doing and it sounds funny. I want to laugh at something because it is absurd and ridiculous- things I know better than. Unfortunately, not everyone does know better and often the result of such comedy is that it carries out of the theater and into the daily scheme of things. It's a catch-22.

What do you think?

Sexy Superhero Parents: The Top 10

Whit Honea — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:16:00 GMT

Superheroes. We love them, we need them. Man, we sure could use some about now, couldn't we?

The Superhero movie has become pure gold lately, monetarily speaking, and some of Hollywood's biggest (and hottest) stars have been putting on the tights (or armor) for our viewing pleasure. Many of those stars are parents, hence this list on FameCrawler (not to mention the fact that I'm a big comic ~~geek~~ fan).

I know, all good parents are super or heroes or whatever, this isn't about that. This is about rocking the spandex (and box office).

Excelsior!

10. Tobey Maguire- Spiderman: Seabiscuit's own Tobey has starred as Peter Parker/Spiderman in all three of the films thus far in the series. There is talk that a fourth film will be released in a few years. Tobey is married to Jennifer Meyer and has a one-year-old daughter Ruby Sweetheart.

9. James Marsden- Cyclops: James played Cyclops in the X-Men trilogy. He was also in Superman, but not as the 'man of steel.' He was also the prince in Enchanted, which was actually quite good. He is married to Lisa Linde and they have two children, Jack (7) and Mary (turns 3 in August).

8. Eric Bana- Hulk: Eric played the Hulk's alter-ego Bruce Banner in the earlier Hulk film (the role played this summer by Ed Norton). He also starred shirtless with Brad Pitt in Troy. The Australian actor is married to Rebecca Gleeson and they have two children, Klaus (10) and Sophia (7).

7. Will Smith- Hancock: Will Smith has been in every movie ever made, and now he's a superhero. Smith is married to Jada Pinkett-Smith and has three children, Trey, Jaden and Willow.

6. Jennifer Garner/Ben Affleck- Elektra/Daredevil: Jennifer Garner should be ranked higher, but she's got that Affleck anchor attached to her. I only had room for 10 and since these two characters are so intertwined, both in the movie and real life, well, you get it. The couple have a daughter named Violet and might have one on deck.

5. Robert Downey, Jr.- Iron Man: Could there ever be a better Tony Stark? Reformed bad boy Robert Downey, Jr., finally matched his box office intake to his critical acclaim when he landed in the role he was born to play. Robert is married to Susan Levin and has a 16-year-old son, Indio, from a previous marriage.

4. Jessica Alba- Invisible Woman: Jessica Alba was anything but invisible in her role as the Fantastic Four's Susan Storm/Invisible Woman. She played the part twice. Alba is married to Cash Warren and they have a brand new daughter named Honor.

3. Halle Berry- Storm: Did you know that Academy Award winner Halle Berry was the runner-up in the 1986 Miss USA? It's true, ask Wikipedia. Berry played Storm in all of the X-Men movies. She recently had a baby, Nahla, with her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry.

2. Hugh Jackman- Wolverine: Yes, Hugh Jackman is super dad. The Broadway star has played the character of Logan/Wolverine in all of the X-Men films and will be the subject of the prequel, Wolverine, which is currently filming. Hugh is married to Deborra-Lee Furness and has two children, Oscar (8) and Ava (turns 3 tomorrow, Happy Birthday, Ava!).

1. Christian Bale- Batman: Who else could it be? Christian Bale is our winner. Congratulations, pretty boy. Bale is married to Sandra "Sibi" Blazic and together they have a daughter whose name has never been confirmed. Bale, like Batman, is a pretty private guy.

And there you go, a bunch of sexy superhero parents. Remember, if you want to learn (or see) more of these celebrities you're in the right spot. FameCrawler is all celebrity parents all the time.

Next week, supervillians!

Take us out, KISS:

Jack Black was attacked while filming his latest movie in Hawaii.

Jack and his fellow Pips, Robert Downey, Jr., and Ben Stiller, were filming Tropic Thunder when a pregnant yak took a dislike to the comedian, throwing him "10 feet in the air." She must have seen Shallow Hal.

The next day the yak, named Bertha, gave birth to a calf which the yak's owner named Baby Jack. Neither Bertha or Big Jack were available for comment.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor know when to say when. They have two children and no plans to add to that total.

Taylor tells OK magazine, "We have a new puppy and that's enough! Two babies and three dogs is enough."

Hey, that's what we have, two babies and three dogs. One is still a puppy and has single-handed(pawed?) destroyed all things of value. Good thing she's cute.

I think the Ben and Christine should have us over for a BBQ or something.

Robert Downey, Jr., Wants More Iron Babies

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:27:00 GMT

The closer it gets the more excited I am about Iron Man. The movie looks awesome. There was some crap in the L.A. Times on Sunday about Robert Downey, Jr., selling out by taking a superhero role because it's all spandex and fluff. First of all, L.A. Times, Iron Man wears IRON and second of all, if someone thinks that the life of a superhero/secret-identity is fluff then they don't know much about Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark- these guys have issues.

Yeah, my geek is showing. So what?

Where was I? Oh yeah, Robert Downey, Jr., is ready for more offspring, saying, "I want more children. I also want to travel. I talk about things I want to do a lot."

He has a son, 14-year-old Indio who is apparently quite the musician. Dad's advice? "I said to him that he should call his next album, 'How To Pass Eighth Grade'!"

Spot on. With dad material like that I do believe Downey is ready for round two.
