Trust Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi With Your Children

Whit Honea — Fri, 15 May 2009 19:11:00 GMT

According to a poll on ParentDish.com of 10,000 moms (sorry dads, nobody cares what you think- still) Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi are the top pick for celebrity babysitters.

The fact that the couple does not have children of their own didn't deter moms from feeling comfortable with their child-rearing potential. They received 31% of the votes followed by another star sans child, Jennifer Aniston, who received 22%. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came in third with 18% and Oprah finished with just 9%. However, and this is just my opinion, I think Oprah is more likely to buy everyone involved a car, so there's that.

What do you think about these results? What celebrity would you consider leaving your child with (not forever, Madonna- sorry)?

Elizabeth Edwards Has "No Idea" If John's The Baby Daddy

Josh loposer — Tue, 05 May 2009 22:01:00 GMT

Elizabeth Edwards sat down with Oprah this week to tell the world her story, and snippets of the convo (set to air Thursday) are making their way out.

Apparently, Elizabeth came on the show to talk about her battle with terminal cancer, John Edwards' affair, and her upcoming memoirs Resilience -- but mostly John's affair and the messy, lingering aftermath. According to Elizabeth, John may very well be a baby daddy to Rielle Hunter's 1-year-old daughter.

"I've seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children but I don't have any idea."

When asked whether she still loved her husband, she replied: "You know, that's a complicated question"

If you remember the story, Hunter didn't list the father's name on her daughter's birth certificate, so it's not super clear whether she actually believes John is the father or not.

Still, with all of the rumors that Rielle got hush money from John's campaign and speculation that she and the baby are living in a secret home payed for by John to keep them from being overrun by reporters like me, it looks like he's the daddy.

Jenny McCarthy To Get Her Own Talk Show?

Josh loposer — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:58:00 GMT

According to the rumor mill, 1993 Playmate of the Year turned anti-vaccination activist Jenny McCarthy may get her own daytime talk show, produced by none other than the Oprah herself.

McCarthy -- who recently punk'd all of her friends and family into believing that she and Jim Carrey were engaged to be wed -- is set to join Dr. Phil and Rachel Ray as part of Oprah's media empire. Jenny's apparently inked a deal with Harpo to "develop projects on different platforms, including a syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host."

What will McCarthy talk about? It sounds like the show will be pretty much the same as any daytime talk show, except with a really smoking hot host.

Thankfully, that should mean that the topic changes from day to day. Maybe I'm a jerk for saying this, but as sad as her 7-year-old son Evan's illness is, I don't know if I can stand to listen to her talk about the link between autism and vaccines any longer.

Congratulations on being one of Oprah's chosen few, Jenny!

Dennis Quaid Visits Oprah and Cedars-Sinai - Video

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:34:00 GMT

It's been 16 months since Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly were faced with a parent's worst nightmare. Their newborn twins had each been given an accidental overdose, about 1,000 times the normal dosage, of the blood thinner Heparin by the staff of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and the survival of the babies was in question.

Three months ago the couple reached a settlement with Cedars-Sinai and yesterday they aired a video of their return to the hospital, this time with a crew from Oprah Winfrey's show, in which they were given a tour of steps taken to ensure the mistake is not repeated.

Said Quaid about the now healthy twins Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace, "I just remember thinking that … this did happen for a reason. These two little kids, 12 days old, they're gonna change the world in some way, and I think that reason is to raise awareness, and to get something done about computerized record keeping and bar coding in hospitals."

Here is a sample from the video which aired earlier this week:

Tom Cruise in a Suing Frame of Mind

trix — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 19:02:00 GMT

Tom Cruise is planning to sue someone, again. There's a company that plans on using his image to sell T-Shirts.

The T-shirts will use his image with the slogans "Sex Addict" and "Everything Turns Me On".

Tom isn't to happy about it. He has his big shot lawyer is claiming consumer fraud and false advertising and sternly warned the company against using Tommy boy's image. I guess they are worried that the company will photo shop the t-shirts on to Tom Cruise's image.

Which of course has the t-shirt company planning to make a shirt with Tom's picture, that says 'legal addict' on the front and "I sue everybody" on the back.

I'm sure he's just thinking of the kids and how the shirts would effect them, that's why he is threatening to sue. It's all for the kids!

Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey Keep The "Sizzle" In Their Romance!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actors Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey know how to keep the "sizzle" in their romance! Although the couple have no plans to marry, they are absolutely committed to one another and like to keep things exciting. So, how do these two keep it fresh and fun?

A friend says that Jenny and Jim like to hang out together in the buff! Luckily, their lifestyle affords them the freedom to take romantic holidays without kids - all parents need a break from time to time.

During a recent trip to Hawaii, the lovebirds spent $25,000 on a rented beachfront villa - it was very private, allowing them to have some "couple" time.

The pal said, "Of course they are dressed in public. But when they're alone, they prefer to be nude much of the time!"

It's cool that these two keep their relationship a priority - it makes for better parenting. Happy parents, happy kids!

Jenny and Jim have been together for three years, and Jim has taken to Jenny's son Evan, 6, who is autistic.

Carrey said Evan has taught him to love deeper.

"I'm a guy who's used to getting people's attention when I want it, and I'm pretty good with kids, so it was a bit difficult and hard not to take it personally when I tried my best to play with him. He was focused on something else, and I could have been on fire in the room, and he wouldn't have noticed me."

But, over time, Jim and Evan bonded and now they're inseperable. Jim is also dad to daughter Jane, 21.

Sounds like they're a tight-knit family.

OK, maybe not quite, but almost. Kate Winslet showed up on Oprah's show yesterday and the Queen of All Media did an entire soliloquy about Kate's boobs. No, I'm not kidding. The video is below. Kate is mom to Mia, 8, and Joe Alfie, 5.

Kate was there to promote "The Reader," her newest movie, in which she does a ton of nearly hardcore love scenes and shows her real, live breasts.

"I love that you have real breasts!" Oprah gushed. "Your breasts do what real breasts do!"

What? They stare at me all the time? Because that's what most breasts do around me. It's really annoying. I'm trying to concentrate, ladies! Have a heart.

Jennifer Aniston A Baby-Crazed Mess?

HerBadMother — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 21:30:00 GMT

Jezebel has a clip of an interview that The Insider did with Jennifer Aniston, and it makes her come off as - I don't know - a bit confounded by the whole baby issue.

Much of the fault lays with The Insider, which, among other things, cut and spliced bits of scenes from Aniston's current movie, Marley and Me, into the interview, which makes it seem like Aniston is saying things that her character says, which is just weird. But she does go off on her own ramble about always thinking about being a mother and having babies, and then backtracks, and then seems to confuse herself, and it just doesn't need much help from the interview producers to sound just a wee bit messy.

That said: WHATEVER. If she wants kids, great, but media scrutiny on the issue is kinda geting out of hand. It's gotta suck to have the media breathing down your neck to see if/when you're going to try to out-baby your ex. (And, yes, I do realize that we here at FC are as guilty as anybody in perpetuating this scrutiny. No-one said that we can't be hypocritical).

Jada Told Will "Make Me Proud"

trix — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Would your husband or wife give you advice on how to make love to another person? Um no, mine wouldn't. That just goes to show you how different from us movie stars are.

Jada Pinkett Smith recently gave her husband Will advice, on his love scenes with Rosario Dawson in his new movie Seven Pounds.

He revealed: "Jada said, 'Listen, I know you're uncomfortable, but you better not embarrass me.' She said, 'When you do that love scene, you better show 'em what you're working with!' "

Will said, "My grandmother was really firm about how men are supposed to treat women, so for me, my worst nightmare is for an actress to feel like I'm taking this opportunity to get a little quickie feel - you know, some legal cheating going on!"

Well, that's nice, there are definitely a lot of guys out there that would do just that.

Interestingly enough, the way he describes his daughter (video below) is pretty much the way my son acted, too. I made him sit still and appreciate the moment, now dammit!

Halle Berry Is Hot In The Bedroom

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:18:00 GMT

Halle Berry may have been voted the Sexiest Woman Alive but according to her she is pretty damn sexy in the bedroom too. She believes that women are responsible for their own orgasms.
Halle said in the Esquire interview, "You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That's all true, and, in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damn good orgasms.
"(They're) much better orgasms than when I was 22, and I wouldn't let a man control that. Not anymore. Now, I'd invite them to participate.
"I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency; I favour intensity."
She told Oprah that she was inspired to talk about her sex life because of her new title.
She said, "I was astonished. I was like, 'I've just had a baby. Don't you guys know..? This isn't the year to pick me for this.'
"I thought, 'Well, you know, it might be a really good year to talk about some things and talk about what sexy really is.'"
And she joked, "When I mentioned the big 'O' I'm sure when people first read it (article), they thought I was about to talk about Oprah."
Berry admitted that if her romance with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry ever ended, she wouldn't be looking for a toyboy to satisfy her sexually.
She confided, "Men in their 20s? Forget it."

Her confidence is the sexiest thing about her.

Jim Carrey Says Jenny McCarthy's Son Taught Him a Deeper Love

Karl Erikson — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Jim Carrey recently spoke about learning to deal with Jenny McCarthy's autistic son. Carrey talked to Oprah Winfrey about Evan Joseph, 6. The challenges of dealing with an autistic child are myriad, especially when that child is the son of your girlfriend.

When Jim and Jenny first started dating in 2006, Evan was totally non-verbal, refusing any eye contact. "I'm a guy who's used to getting people's attention when I want it," Jim said, "and I'm pretty good with kids, so it was a bit difficult and hard not to take it personally when I tried my best to play with him. He was focused on something else, and I could have been on fire in the room, and he wouldn't have noticed me."

Jim kept at it, though, and says that autistic kids "show us how to go somewhere deeper as far as loving." Now, Evan and Jim are very close. "It's like Star Wars impressions back and forth all day long."

Jenny McCarthy has a new book out about her experiences with autism called "Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds."

She says, "I know why God gave me Evan. He is a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to the world. It made me who I am today."

Oprah Dead: SICK HOAX

Sassy Smith — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 08:08:00 GMT

Reports of Oprah Winfrey being found dead have swept the internet, although no reliable news organisations were being sourced. There's a reason for that: SHE'S NOT DEAD.

According to wikinews.org, it's part of an internet hoax that was either started by a group known as Anonymous or from a website 4chan.org. Either way, it's sick.

There are real stories of people dying, as we very well know and for people to make up stories that celebrities and/or their children and family members have died - those individuals have serious mental problems. We've had false reports of Lil' Wayne's 8-year-old daughter being killed, singer Dolly Parton dying from heart failure and just recently, Miley Cyrus was rumored to have been killed in a car wreck.

One person who claims to being a part of the Oprah death hoax, told Wikinews that it "was fun as hell" spending "all day /b/[4chan] photoshopping screenshots of news stories. She got what she deserved. She called anonymous a bunch of pedophiles. Believed a troll on her message boards."

Disgusting.

*Edit* Oprah attended the Emmy Awards Sunday September 21st - she's NOT dead.
