Edie Falco And Mommy's Little Slugger

Josh loposer — Thu, 28 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Edie Falco and her 4 year-old son Anderson celebrate on the field at last night's Mets game after Edie threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

From the reports I've read, Edie has quite the arm. She apparently zinged a near strike from behind the pitchers mound. That's better than a whole lot of dudes, Mario Lopez for example (who walked up like ten steps).

I guess that speaks pretty loudly for Edie's strength as a single mother, a former alcoholic, and a breast cancer survivor. On her own, Edie is raising two kids Anderson, 4, and Macy, 15 months, both adopted.

She's got a new show coming up on Showtime called Nurse Jackie in which she plays the lead character, a brilliant and flawed Vicodin-popping ER nurse.

Chris Rock Makes His Daughter Nervous

Chris Rock's daughter Lola is always prepared. Look at her giving dad the eye. She knows it's only a matter of time, and she's ready.

What's up with the clothes for non-winners? A prison shirt and a Mets cap? Man, aim higher, Chris.

Xavier Nady Ready to Welcome Xavier Nady

Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Xavier Nady and his wife, childhood sweetheart Meredith, are expecting a baby boy later this summer.

Nady is the sixth in a long line of Xavier Nadys, starting with his great-great-great-grandfather 150 years ago in France. Guess who will be number 7.

That's what they call consistancy.

Reese Witherspoon is a Baseball Mom

Reese Witherspoon and her son Deacon spent some quality time at the ol' ballpark.

Reese's hat is saying Dodgers but her shirt is saying Mets. I know some neigborhoods where that combo could get your feelings hurt.

Jon Stewart Needs a Hug

Whit Honea — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 18:43:00 GMT

It ain't easy on the street for a comedian without a writing staff. Jon Stewart is apparently calling someone that cares, and that's sweet.

I don't know what the big deal is with needing writers for his show. As long as George Bush is in office he does all the work.

I suppose Stewart could just show YouTube clips for 30 minutes.

Sports Talk: Adam Everett's Wife Delivers 2nd Daughter

Whit Honea — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 11:36:00 GMT

Houston Astro Adam Everett and his wife Jennifer welcomed a new daughter last Sunday. Paisley joins Peyton in the Everett household.

You know, I'm running out of jokes for baseball players having new babies at the end of the season. I will say that October and November have got to be booked months in advance for all the birthday parties in the clubhouse. September if you play for the Mets.

Sports Talk: Tom Glavine's Kids Want Dad to Keep the Day Job

Whit Honea — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:10:00 GMT

Tom Glavine's kids are really enjoying the box-seats and free hot dogs. So much that they would rather their dad continue playing major league baseball than naught.

I don't blame them. Free hot dogs? Hanging out in the bullpen? That's a childhood, Mister.

Give the kids another year, Tom. When it's over, it's over.

Kevin James, Life and the Street

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:01:00 GMT

Manhole jokes aside, Kevin James has been spending lots of time on the street. He says that he and his two daughters, Shea and Sienna, are big fans of Sesame Street.

In fact, the actor recently filmed an episode of the show. Personally, unheralded as it may be, I think guest-spotting on Sesame Street has got to be one of the coolest things a celebrity can do, right up there with SNL and the now defunct Muppet Show.

James does have one complaint about the show. Reruns. I hear 'ya Kev. They're still showing episodes from my childhood, and while I enjoy the nostalgia, half of those numbers and letters aren't even used anymore.

This post has been brought to you by the letters K and J, and the number 2.

Tom Hanks and Sons Don't Cry in Baseball

Whit Honea — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:26:00 GMT

Tom Hanks and two of his sons (not the guys in the front row) took in a Mets and Dodgers game over the weekend. Funny how his boys are rooting for different teams and he doesn't show interest in either one. Nothing worse than brothers divided.

Except, possibly being an Indians fan (like Tom). Hey, they're only one game back. Have some crackerjacks and smile, man.

I Now Pronounce You Adam and Kevin

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 15:02:00 GMT

Adam Sandler and Kevin James are having a good time, what with the movie and the jokes and the stuff. They star together in the upcoming film I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, where they play straight men pretending to be gay to gain family benefits. Is a King of Queens joke too obvious?

The movie is endorsed by GLAAD.

While on the set the two New Yorkers built a friendship that incorporates both of their families. The wives get along, their daughters get along. In fact, James little girls, Sienna and Shea (yes, he's a Mets fan) and Sandler's daughter, Sadie, get along so well that Kevin is pushing Adam to start working on a second child for more rounded playdates. If Sandler is a real friend he'll get on the ball.
