Teri Hatcher and 10 year old daughter Emerson Rose recently traveled to Nairobi to present $35,000 to children and adults affected by poverty in Kenya.

As part of the two-week trip, Hatcher took her daughter to a boarding school. But the kids there were too embarrased to speak to Hatcher, just to her daughter.

"They loved my daughter. We talked about math. We joked. They would say, 'What subjects do you like in school? What's your hardest subject? What do you like? What do you do? What's your favourite thing to do?'

"We talked about sports. We talked about who likes science - stuff like that."

Paula Radcliffe Is One Fast Mama

So she didn't have her family flown in by private jet and wasn't kissed halfway through the race by the dude from Top Gun, Paula Radcliffe won the women's race of the New York City Marathon. Take that, Thetans!

And while all the paparazzi lenses may have been turned towards more famous runners like Lance 'Man Ho' Armstrong and Katie Holmes, Radcliffe pulled off a spectacular feat, winning the grueling 26.2 mile race a mere 291 days after giving birth to daughter Isla Lough. It's been 3,285 days since I last gave birth and I get winded just walking to the refrigerator.

There was a pall of sadness at the start of 38th running of the marathon, as all the runners observed a moment of silence to honor fellow marathoner Ryan Shay who died the day before during the U.S. Olympic trials in Central Park. For Radcliffe, Shay's untimely death put things in perspective. "It's just a race at the end of the day. We're just racers...It's about how much you have left inside."

Katie Holmes Finishes But New Mom Paula Radcliffe Wins NYC Marathon

In spite of (or maybe because of) a mid-race liplock with hubby Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes didn't win the New York City Marathon. That honor went to new mom Paula Radcliffe, who won the women's race. Radcliffe, who trained throughout her pregnancy and just gave birth in January, finished the race with a time of 2:23:09 Holmes time was 5:29:58.

How is this possible? Obviously someone up at Scientology headquarters isn't doing their job and forgot to cosmically transport Katie to the finish line in warp speed. No matter, as Katie still got a lavish end-of-race party that Tom put together for her at Tavern On The Green, with all her family flown in from Ohio. Don't feel sorry for all the other runners that trained hard for the race - I'm sure they had a nice cold cup of water and a stale granola bar waiting for them at the finish line.
