Michelle Obama Hanging on Sesame Street

Karl Erikson — Wed, 06 May 2009 20:36:00 GMT

The First Lady paid a visit to Sesame Street yesterday and we've got the picture to prove it! Michelle Obama was there to film a public service announcement with Elmo for Sesame Workshop's Healthy Habits for Life initiative. She and the First Muppet spoke about eating right, getting regular exercise, and being a positive role model for kids.

I think the red really makes Michelle pop, what do you think?

WWED? Celebrity Edition

Whit Honea — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:33:00 GMT

Do you ever stop and ask yourself, what would Elmo do? I'm guessing he'd have a much better spin on it all than most of us do.

A certain celebrity apparently feels the same. Can you guess which famous dad lets his little boy hang out in Elmo's world?

Find out at Droolicious.

American Idol's Alexis Grace Comes Home to Daughter

Karl Erikson — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Aw, 2-year-old cutie Ryan is showing her mom - 21-year-old American Idol contestant Alexis Grace, who was just booted off the show - support, meeting up with her at the Memphis airport Tuesday. She's even wearing a shirt with Mommy's face on it. Alexis said she was eager to get back home after her surprise elimination.

"I’m going to go home and watch Elmo with her. We’re going to go play with the toys in her bedroom. That’s the first thing I’m doing, and I can’t wait," Alexis said.

Ryan is Alexis' first child with her fiance.

Durst and Bizkit Limping Back to Do It Again (Probably for the Nookie)

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:34:00 GMT

Fred Durst is reportedly a softer, gentler man these days. He's more about family than sex tapes and controversy. He still wants to rock though.

Durst and the original lineup from the band Limp Bizkit have announced that they are "more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we are with each other."

Yeah, that sounds like it will work.

A new album and tour are planned.

Do you think Durst will go the way of Britney Spears and bring the family on tour? For some reason backstage at a Limp Bizkit concert doesn't seem very kid-friendly.

This is where I wanted to post a video of Cookie Monster doing "I Did It All for the Cookie," but upon further review that never actually happened.

Geri Halliwell Was Swept Off Her Feet

trix — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:31:00 GMT

Geri Halliwell returned from a whirlwind vacation with her beau Fabrizio Politi. Wait, didn't they just meet?

The couple met in a Florence night club in December but have spent almost every waking moment together over the past two months. They've been to Paris and the Maldives getting closer and closer and being swept away by romance.

Geri’s management firm said: “We are delighted to announce the engagement of Geri Halliwell and Fabrizio Politi. As a token of their commitment to each other Fabrizio presented Geri with an engagement ring over the festive season."

The wedding date has yet to be set, because the couple plans on enjoying their engagement, pehaps they'll get to know each other as well.

Fabrizio is pretty cute. Their story is straight out of romance novel, hopefully it ends just as well. With him being a great dad and them living happily ever after.

Sarah Jessica Parker Getting HUGE Payout for "Sex" Sequel

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:33:00 GMT

Carrie Bradshaw and the girls shall return for a "Sex and the City" sequel! "Sex and the City: The Movie" was a big hit at the box office last year, earning $153 million internationally. And it's because of that huge hit status that Sarah Jessica Parker is getting an enormous payday for the sequel.

Sarah Jessica, 43, could earn as much as $30 million if the sequel does as well in theaters. Her deal includes a producer credit, as well as a potion of the ticket proceeds, and that might mean up to $50 million!

Married to Matthew Broderick for 11 years - and reportedly on her way to divorce - SJP says that the "sequel is going to be even hotter with more of a story line. It's going to be a bit longer."

Sarah Jessica and Matthew are parents to James Wilkie Broderick, 6.

Here's Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker, posing with Elmo for a taped segment she's doing on Sesame Street. It'll be their 40th season. What I want to know is if she got to meet Super Grover.

Sarah Jessica is married to Matthew Broderick and together they have 6-year-old son James. Weird, right? A nice, normal name for a Hollywood kid. Something's wrong with them.

The Cutest Boys Ever- Beckham Style

This has to be the cutest picture I've seen of these boys all together. David and Victoria have their work cut out for them when these boys get older. How cute is it that the two younger ones are hudled around dad and Brooklyn is looking like a big boy in the background.

I just wanted to post this picture because it is adorable.

Holy Rusted Metal Batman and Robin- Victoria Beckham

trix — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:02:00 GMT

Victoria and Cruz Beckham took a trip to Saks in Beverly Hills to fight through the racks of bad fashion to find just the perfect outfit.

How many costumes does this kid have and does he figure that he gets to keep dressing up until he's out of candy? My kids have rubber boots that they like to wear everywhere, they've even worn them to weddings.

My kids are just as cute and stylish as little Cruz Beckham. I, however, am no where near as fashion savvy as Vicky because I'm wearing P.J.s as I write this.

David and Brooklyn Beckham Check Out The Lakers

trix — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:04:00 GMT

David and Brooklyn Beckham took in a Lakers game together.

Was David pointing out how to check out the Laker girls or were they having some genuine father son bonding time. I'm going to guess the father/son bonding time. Take a look at David's face, that's genuine love there.

I bet they are all glad Victoria is back from Europe. I think they are such a cool family, I seriously want to be adopted by them.

David and Victoria Super Hero Crime-Fighters?

trix — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:02:00 GMT

David and Victoria Beckham are going to be superheroes or at least Stan Lee is looking to make the couple into a crime-fighting duo. He said he was drawn to them because of their beauty. Isn't everybody?

Lee says of his idea, "There are so many ways to do it. We could make them a crime fighting team where the soccer is just a facade. Or we could make them spies or we could make it a comedy where one of them wants to be an adventurer? He’s a very attractive, personable guy and she’s a very attractive, interesting looking girl. I haven’t met the Beckhams yet but I think we could do a great show."

The couple has done crazier things than this, do you think they will agree to it?

Ginger Spice Is A Best Seller

trix — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:03:00 GMT

Geri Halliwell is much, much more than just Ginger Spice. Geri branched out after her singing career and published a series of children's books. The series was such a success that she was named 2008's best selling children's author. Have you read the books? I have not, but 250,000 copies have been sold, so somebody liked them.
Geri said this about her success, "I'm so happy that everyone loves Ugenia as much as I do."
Good for her, it's nice to see the Spice Girls move on and be successful.

David and Victoria's Platinum Invitation

trix — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:21:00 GMT

I am so in the wrong field. I need to be thinner and my husband needs to be more ripped, oh and we both need cute British accents. If we had all those things would we be able to earn a million dollars for attending a party?

Yes, I'm serious. We know that the stars get paid bookoo bucks to attend parties but this is a little extravagant.

According to British newspaper the Sunday People, the "amazing bonanza" is being offered by the owners of the five-star Atlantis hotel and resort, and will take place later this year.

The party is in Dubai and it is to celebrate the "launch" of the hotel, guests are going to be flown in from all over the world for the $30 million dollar bash for free.

"The Beckhams are being paid just to show their faces and mingle with the other stars there. The organizers want it to be the party to end all parties and having Posh and Becks there is a massive coup for them."

Do you think they will go?

That's quite a bit of money being offered just for a party.

Maurice Sendak: Still Wild at 80

Whit Honea — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:52:00 GMT

Maurice Sendak, he of such classics as Where the Wild Things Are and Little Bear (illustrator), recently turned 80.

Strollerderby has a post about Mr. Sendak over their way (across the sea and in and out of a year- it's far), but we'd be remiss if we didn't wish him a happy birthday as well.

Also, here's a bonus Sendak fact, he was on the board of The Children's Television Workshop during the creation of "Sesame Street" and contributed a cartoon to the series that was voiced by Jim Henson. That's pretty damn cool.

Running with Kim Raver

Kim Raver and her son Luke were spotted running through NYC. Did you know that Kim knows how to get to Sesame Street? I wonder if that is where they're going.

Seriously, she was on "Sesame Street" as a kid, and you thought she was all "24" and "Third Watch."

Kim also has a baby boy named Leo Kipling who may have the coolest middle name out of all the celebrity kids. I'm glad they didn't go with Mowgli.

David Beckham showed us how to get to Sesame Street recently. He and Elmo interact and talk about persistence. I think that the Beckhams are a nice couple who truly enjoy being around their kids. I wonder if his kids still watch Sesame Street?

The video is really cute.

I like how Elmo shows persistence to get David to play, it reminds me of my rugrats here at home.

If the recent discovery of Katie Holmes' dyed paws is any indication then Sesame Street was more ahead of its time than we thought.

Look at this footage of Bert going through a very Katie-esque dilema. Wait, does that make Tom Cruise Ernie? I can see that.

How fun for Suri! Muppets rule.

Let Me Tell You How to Get to Sesame Street

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Can you believe that "Sesame Street" is getting ready to start its 39th season? Crazy, right?

Well, it's true and this year promises to be the best yet because they're going to focus more on math!

I suppose that's a good thing, but that's not really why you're reading about "Sesame Street" on FameCrawler. No, we are in it for the celebrities.

In the upcoming season we'll see some of our favorite celebrity parents (and soon-to-be), as well as some other people that I'm too lazy to Google for parental status.

Here is a quick list of some of the stars you'll find singing, rhyming and arithmeticin' this season (starts August 11th): Will Arnett, Feist, Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Brian Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jack Black, Jenny McCarthy, Feijoo Sisters and Jason Taylor. Impressive, isn't it?

Also of note are some of the planned sketches that build upon popular culture: "30 Rocks," "Pre-School Musical" and "Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer," all of which sound pretty darn funny and/or eductional.

Awesome.

Dannielynn Can Tell You the Way to Sesame Street

Turns out that Sesame Street is just around the corner from Shamu. Who knew?

Sea World in San Diego opened a new area themed with Sesame Street, complete with characters and rides.

I should be able to tell you more about this since I was invited to the opening, but like any good Californian I let the threat of rain keep me from leaving my comfort zone.

I'm sure Larry and Dannielynn can tell you all about it.

Suri Cruise Gives "Hairspray" Two Teeny Thumbs-Up

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 10 May 2008 14:05:00 GMT

So apparently Suri Cruise's favorite movie is "Hairspray." My first thought was, hey - this movie is rated PG. Couldn't Tom and Katie find something G-rated for their two-year-old for chrissakes? What's wrong with Sesame Street, or the Wiggles? Although I guess the Wiggles are so freakin' weird it might force Tom to take his psych meds.

Then I remembered that John Travolta, who stars in Hairspray, is a Scientolobot, too. Maybe Tom only lets Suri watch movies that star his homies from his church. I'll bet the poor thing's been forced to watch "Battlefield Earth." Hell, maybe they've even made her watch some Kirstie Alley and Leah Remini movies. That's messed up.

This? Is AWESOME news.

David Beckham is going to make an appearance on Sesame Street. WITH ELMO. Which, you know, is just so perfect that I can hardly stand it.

Apparently, he's going on the show to teach Elmo a new word. Any guesses on what that word will be?

My votes are for tractor and exhaust pipe.
