Rod Stewart Kicks His Kids To The Curb

trix — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:31:00 GMT

Rod Stewart loves his kids, but when he comes to visit L.A he makes sure his grown kiddies get out of the house.

How funny and nice! His kids are all about making their dad's new family comfortable while they visit.

His son said, "He and Penny have their own family now and the big house is very much their home. When they are in town, they want their privacy. It's no big deal."

"Dad is spending more and more time in Britain because Penny wants to be near her family. He started building the guest house when Penny was pregnant. He wants her to feel the main house is their family home when they are in LA. And who wants their kids from previous relationships living on top of them when they are with their new family?

"When he is coming back to town, we other kids get a call, normally from his assistant, telling us, 'Dad is in town, clear the big house'. That's just how it works. We go over there for movie nights and for meals. But it's nice for them to have their privacy and for us to have ours."

Does that mean these kids have manners or at least common sense? Good job Rod Stewart! I probably kick the kids out of the house too. Would you?

Why Should She Be Famous?

trix — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:29:00 GMT

This woman isn't necessarily a celebrity mom in her own right, but she should be. We need to be talking about her and her situation rather than Nadya Suleman.

Rachel Joy was 36 weeks pregnant went she went to the hospital complaining of chest pains. The doctors, being doctors, sent her home because they thought the chest pains were the after effects of a cough she had suffered.

That sounds pretty normal for a pregnancy in it's late stages, it could have been a little indigestion.

Rachel went back to the hospital later the same night, coughing up blood and it was found that she had a very rare and dangerous heart condition, Aortic Dissection. She could be dead within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated.

Next thing she knew, she was in an operating room having a c-section, because this may be the only child she ever had. She only had a 25% chance of surviving the operation.

The doctors performed the c-section and as soon as the baby was removed, they started in on her heart. The doctors hadn't even finished sewing her up from the c-section yet and started on the necessary 10 hour surgery for her heart.

Happily, everything turned out for the best and mom and son, Charlie, we're reunited after her recovery.

My own birth story was eventful, but Rachel Joy will always win in. Is your birth story crazy or easy peasy?

Fatboy Slim in Rehab

Whit Honea — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 20:04:00 GMT

Fatboy Slim, aka DJ Norman Cook, has checked himself into rehab for alcohol addiction.

Cook has a nine-year-old son named Woody. Sounds like rehab should have come a bit sooner, but hey, at least he's going now. Woody will be the better for it.

The 45-year-old Cook told the Mirror UK, “...sometimes it feels a little undignified but I never seem to get tired of getting drunk.

“I’ve tried going on stage sober and it wasn’t much fun.

“There’s a certain bravado involved in what I do. It takes a lot of alcohol to stop me thinking ‘You’re a 40-year-old man. What are you doing whirling that towel above your head’?”

Cook may be best known for his role as Fatboy Slim but I'm a bigger fan of his previous projects the Housemartins and Beats International. Still, you can't deny the pure awesomeness of this:

Get well, Fatboy.

Penny Lancaster and her son Alastair went round and round on the carousel at the launch of Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland.

Oh my, isn't that sweet. I love pictures of mommies and their babies in mid kiss. They are the most precious of precious.

Rod Stewart and Another Good Use for an Umbrella

trix — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:27:00 GMT

This is so much better than one of those little backpack leashes, isn't it.?

Rod Stewart hooked his son Alastair with an umbrella before he could run off too far and get into trouble.

Alastair will be three on November 27th, and he is Rod Stewart's seventh kid. Wow, I didn't know that.

The family seems to be on permanent vacation in France. I would like to be on permanent vacation in France too, wouldn't you?

Rod Stewart And Penny Lancaster Plan For The Fututre

trix — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:42:00 GMT

Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart want to have another Baby Jane.

In a recent interview with the Mirror, Penny Lancaster talked about how much she and Rod Stewart want to have another baby and how great it was to be pregnant.

On wanting one of each: “We are trying for another baby,” she added, “Another little boy would be wonderful but I’d also love a little girl - one of each would be perfect.”

On being pregnant: “I felt like I bloomed when I was pregnant - but giving birth was pretty tough.”

On talking about her son: “Every day he does something different, especially now he’s talking. He’s always doing cute things. He’s just learnt to say ‘Aberdeen’ with a Scottish accent but Rod’s mission is to teach him how to say Celtic, so he keeps trying to correct him saying, ‘No, Celtic!’ ”

On their parenting styles: “I’m strict but Rod’s very laidback. So Alastair goes out with dad and gets all muddy and has the chance to be a real boy. He breaks the rules with Rod and gets more practical advice from me, which, I believe, helps make him feel secure. It’s a good mix.”

On dealing with the step-kids: “The best way to get with step-kids it to be yourself,” she added, “Kids can sense if someone isn’t genuine. I jump from being mother figure to a friend. think if you’re loving and caring, and make their dad happy, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

On getting her prepartum body back: “I didn’t focus on getting my figure back, Alastair was my main priority. I’d never deprive myself on a silly diet while I was breastfeeding - it starves your baby of the nutrients it needs.”

On eating healthy foods while pregnant: “When I was pregnant, I ate sardines on toast for the omega oils, swapped my afternoon biscuit for an oat cookie and white bread for wholemeal.”

I wonder if, when in the mood, he sings Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? to her? That would be a resounding NO!!!

Crowes on Mother's Day

Whit Honea — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:28:00 GMT

I love this picture of Russell Crowe and his boys. I think it's because it hits home.

If Russell had on a better outfit, lost 15 pounds and had a haircut that could be me and my boys. Give or take some Oscars.

I never realized how much the Crowe and I had in common. It's like looking at the back of a mirror.

So, Madonna's Son isn't a Lucky Bastard?

Whit Honea — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 11:03:00 GMT

Mirror reports that Madonna overheard two crew members talking on the set of the movie, RocknRolla, which is the latest project by her husband, Guy Ritchie. Allegedly, one of the crew asked the other what the name of Madonna's son (David) was, to which the latter replied, "Lucky Bastard."

Madge, as the British press calls Madonna, was apparently shocked and quite mad about the exchange. The guilty party was quickly dismissed.

The article states that Madonna is very protective of her children and doesn't care for anyone speaking ill of them. I should hope not.

The kid is pretty damn lucky though.
