Liev Says His Boys Are Driving Him Bonkers

Josh loposer — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Liev Schreiber loves his sons, no doubt, but he says the combination of a 4-month-old and a 21-month-old in the house is not exactly a recipe for peace and tranquility.

"There's nothing fun about the age they're at right now. Each one on their own is insanely fun, but the combination of the two of them after hours is just chaos. I don't remember the last time I slept like a human being."

Hopefully, that's just the exhaustion talking. I'm pretty sure there's got to be at least one fun thing about the age they're at now, it's just hard to enjoy it when you're at your breaking point.

Sure, having two young children can push you to the limits of your own sanity, but at least it also helps prepare you for advanced interrogation techniques like sleep depravation. You never know, maybe Liev will get cast as a Jack Bauer-esque hero in a future film, now that he's broken into the action movie genre with his portrayal of Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Liev's had a pretty busy month, with the premiere of the X-Men movie and a scarry trip to the hospital with Sasha. Thankfully, everything seems to be A-okay with 21-month-old.

Watts And Schreiber's Son Taken To Hospital

Josh loposer — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:30:00 GMT

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber got a pretty huge scare last night when their 21-month-old son Sasha went to the hospital with respiratory problems.

Luckily, everything seems to be okay now, and little Sasha has come home after a night in the hospital. Says Schreiber's rep:

“Sasha got home today and is feeling much better after being hospitalized on Tuesday night with respiratory problems.”

If you happened to be lucky enough to get a ticket to the LA premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, you may have noticed that Liev, who plays Sabretooth in the flick, was nowhere to be found. That's because he immediately flew to New York to be with his family.

That who experience had to be really freaky for Naomi and Liev, I'm glad that little Alexander "Sasha" Pete is going to be alright. I'm sure the family is super relieved.

Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber Moving To The Land Down Under?

Josh loposer — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:30:00 GMT

It sure isn't New York City, but it sounds like Liev Schreiber is starting to get cozy with the idea of packing it all up and moving the family out to Naomi's native land, Australia.

“I was able to get into a rhythm and I got a feel for the lifestyle and the quality of life there... It’s just unbeatable, plus if you’re raising kids, I can’t imagine a better place.”

If Liev and Naomi are going to move their kids to Australia, now's the time to do it, with sons (Sasha, 21 months, and Samuel, 4 months) still at a very young age.

It shouldn't be terribly difficult to adjust. At least they speak the same language in Australia -- albeit with a wildly different accent -- and maintain a pretty similar culture.

Apparently, the paps are pretty intense in Australia, and Liev isn't going to like that. According to Schreiber, his emotions towards the paparazzi have grown much more intense since the birth of his children.

“I was fine until [21-month-old Alexander] ‘Sasha’ [Pete] came along and then I started to get aggro,” he says with a laugh. “As an actor, I think I’d never kind of reached the heights of fame that Naomi had, and so when she came into my life it was a real test on our relationship.”

“I didn’t like that she was bringing all that attention with her and I think I probably blamed her for it in the beginning. But after a while, I acclimated to it and then, of course, Sasha was born and I had to acclimate to it all over again.”

Naomi Watts Wants A Brangelina-Sized Brood

Sassy Smith — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:02:00 GMT

Naomi Watts always thought she'd have kids by the time she was thirty. The now-40-year-old actress is mom to Sasha, 18 months and Sammy, 2 months, with partner, actor Liev Schreiber, and although she says she'd love to go for another baby, Schreiber walks around saying, "no more babies." Will Watts get her 'Brangelina-sized' brood?

Watts just finished work on a new movie and hopes there's a couple more this year. She admits her life is hectic as a working mom of two. And she'd like to add to that - by having another baby - hopefully a girl.

Watt's on more babies:

"I love babies. I look at this little baby and, even after quite an intense birth – they say you have amnesia, as women – I would go a third. It would be nice to have a girl.

"But you should see our house. It's pretty chaotic right now and I keep making fun of Liev because he keeps walking around going, 'No more babies, no more babies', like Rain Man or something.

"I always thought that I would have had kids by 30. I'd like five more. But five is excessive, particularly for someone my age. We'll see."

How she's balancing life as a mom of two now:

"Everyone did warn us that it's chaotic for the first couple of years, and we're in that period where I'm chasing my toddler whilst feeding my baby. You're nursing and watching your toddler climbing up on a chair or about to pull himself down on to something, and it's pretty nerve-wracking.

"We've definitely got our hands full in our home."

On life with partner Liev Schreiber - will they marry? They've been together since May of 2005:

"We are a family unit and we talk about the future, but we are not in so much of a hurry to get married.

"I'm not against marriage, but I'm not someone who's craving it desperately."

Balancing working and motherhood:

"I have slowed down. Pregnancy and babies tend to do that. The International is the only film I have done since being a mum.

"There was a period of time when there were eight projects in the can or in preparation, but I was burnt out. I had pretty much been on that grind for about five years after Mulholland Drive.

"Once I met Liev I felt I wanted more time to myself and for us to spend time together and then the pregnancy and the baby. Then last year he was shooting (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) in Australia and I like to be there, obviously, and then I got pregnant again.

"So that's kind of how things have gone, but I really had wanted to be a mum for some time and I waited for the right situation.

"I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen and now that I am a mum I still can't believe it. I look at my kids and go, 'Wow, you're mine forever'.

"I get quite moved by that."

Naomi says Liev is an "incredibly hands-on dad" who is "adored" by their oldest:

"In fact, when I'm in the room it's like I don't exist. Daddy plays rough-house. I try to, but I'm just not as fun or rough as Daddy. But it's not just the playtime stuff for Liev. It's changing diapers – he does everything with me."

Naomi Watts is Baby Crazy

Guess What Naomi Watts Named Her Second Son?!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:09:00 GMT

We told you Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber welcomed their second son on Saturday, December 13th in New York City - well, now we know baby's name and how much the little guy weighed!

Find out after the jump!

Samuel Kai Schreiber came into the world weighing 7 lbs., 13 oz. Naomi's rep said, "Both mom and baby are doing great."

I love his name! It's refreshing when celebrities don't go 'weird name' route and I think Samuel Kai perfectly compliments big brother, Alexander "Sasha" Pete.

Congrats to the happy family!

Guess What Sunday Rose Is Getting For Christmas?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:08:00 GMT

Sunday Rose, the 5-month-old daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, will celebrate her first Christmas this year. What do you suppose her parents are getting her?

At the London premiere of her latest film, Australia, Kidman tells PEOPLE:

"Just a lot of hugs and kisses and Christmas carols." But she did buy Sunday Rose at least one gift - a turtle puppet.

Nicole adds, "She loves puppets!"

What will you (or did you) buy your baby for their first Christmas?

Nicole Pulls A Britney - Forgets Sunday Rose's Car Seat

Sassy Smith — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:05:00 GMT

I'm fairly certain Nicole Kidman can afford a baby car seat for her daughter Sunday Rose. Sure, Nic only gets about $10 million a film now, but that's got to be enough dough to swing a seat for her baby. Remember when Britney drove down the freeway with little Sean P. on her lap? Well, Nicole might not be whipping down the freeway but she's in a vehicle with her daughter on her lap. That's a big NO-NO.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves - when parents don't properly secure their children, particularly infants, while riding in a motorized vehicle. I don't get why a parent would decide not to? In a rush? Not going far? Not going fast? Doesn't matter - buckle your baby. As a general rule, babies are to be in a rear-facing car seat until they're one year or reach 20 lbs. Last time I checked Sunday Rose hadn't even reached 5-months-old.

Seriously, I thought Nicole would be smarter than that!

Nicole Kidman on Defying the Odds

Karl Erikson — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:08:00 GMT

They say every baby is a miracle and, with the case of Nicole Kidman's Sunday Rose, it's more true than ever. Nicole, 41, talked about her ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage on "The View" Friday, and revealed her odds for having a biological child were slim to none.

"I was told I had a 2% chance of getting pregnant," Nicole said. "So I say she's a 2% baby." Nicole is a mom to Isabella Jane, 16, and Connor Antony, 13, but when she talked about Sunday she teared up a bit. "Something happened to me when I birthed that baby, that's changed me," she says. "I had Bella and Connor when I was 25, and I think at 41 something happened."

She even puts her hand on Sunday's back at night to make sure she's breathing. "I'm kind of very, very raw and open...I'm fearful and all those things. I wake up going... is she okay?"

This is Sunday's first Christmas, and Nicole and husband Keith Urban have already started decorating the house. "Keith drove up the driveway the other day and burst out laughing, he said it looks just like Disney Land," she says. "But I just wanted it...little baby loves lights."

Hollywood actress Naomi Watts will strip for Australian artist, David Bromley - he's well known for his nudes of famous women - as part of his submission to Australia's Archibald Prize for 2009. Bromley has previously painted Kylie Minogue and is thrilled that Watts has agreed to the project.

Bromley said, "I think she will fit the pop (culture) quality of what I do really well, (also) she has these amazing eyes and a really strong gaze, which is why she is wonderful as an actress." Yes, paint her nude, and people will surely be looking at her eyes.

Naomi, who is pregnant with her second child with boyfriend Liev Schreiber, due to give birth any second, will pose after the baby is born. So... does that mean she'll be in a mad rush to lose the baby weight?

The family visited the Picasso exhibit at the Galeries Nationales du Gand Palais. Sunday is getting so big and she'll celebrate her first Christmas, which is always exciting for parents!

Enjoy more pics after the jump!

Nicole has been busy promoting her latest flick, Australia, that hasn't had the best reviews thus far. Maybe there was too much hype before the movie came out?

Celebrities are sometimes, either loved or hated - and while it's certainly a person's right to like or dislike a particular celebrity, is it really necessary to create a specific group to post about your hatred? And what's worse - picking on the children of the celebrity. That's just not cool!

There's apparently anti-Kidman campaigns and groups on Facebook where people can discuss their dislike of the actress, who, I'm sure, they've never met. Sure, there are celebrities that I don't particularly like, but am I going to create a group to bash them? No, I've got better things to do - like take a nap.

There are groups titled "Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?" "Nicole Kidman is Satan," and "I Hate Nicole Kidman."

One person wrote, "She is manipulative, calculating and two faced!" Another blogger wrote, "she has the emotional scope of a spoon and she's ugly."

She's also being trashed for her latest role in Australia. Others have called her "ice queen," and said her crappy acting was because of her "baby brain." Listen, having kids does suck some of your brain power out - I have four, so I should know, but that doesn't mean you become an idiot! Sure, I've run the washer without putting the laundry in it, but hey, it only happened three times. But I digress....

Some bloggers also put up a photo of Nicole, digitally enhanced to make her look 100 years old and some have even attacked her baby, Sunday Rose. Now that's low. Celebrities are fair game - personally, I'd never create a hate group, but hey, if that's your thing, whatever. But to pick on a child(ren), seriously, get a life.

Nicole Kidman isn't my favorite actress by any means but she seems like a nice woman, a loving wife and a wonderful mom.

Who was the clown that started the rumor about Nicole Kidman faking her pregnancy with a pillow and some duct tape? What an idiot. That and a theory on 9-11 will get you an Oscar in this town.

As you can clearly see, Nicole is faking her pregnancy by getting fat. She's probably eating shrimp by the Barbee and drinking Fosters straight from the oil can. She's a regular DeNiro with her method acting.

OR she's actually pregnant! Hey, there's a novel concept! Who would have thunk it?

What Happened To Nicole Kidman?

I don't want to be, um, insensitive, but what in THE hell happened to Nicole Kidman's face, more specifically, her...

More photos after the jump

...lips?

Nicole was at the Tokyo premiere of "The Golden Compass," looking not bad - from far away. Up close, well, she's got something going on. Either pregnancy is distorting her face, along with her lips or she's had something, perhaps chemically done? I'm trying not to be judgy. I will say that this white dress is much better than that black, see-through, ostrich feather fug dress she was seen wearing the other day.

See? Finding the silver lining.

Gene Simmons Sex Tape Is REAL

HerBadMother — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 23:13:00 GMT

Just in case anyone had any doubt, even Gene Simmons' lawyers are admitting it: that is, indeed, big Gene working his little genie in that sex-vid that's causing such a sensation on the Internet.

According to the cease-and-desist letters that are being sent to anyone who has dared post the video on the internet, the guy with the penis in the video is, in fact, Gene, and he has not given permission for this particular sex-performance to be broadcast (webcast, whatevs):

“The video in question was surreptitiously filmed without Mr. Simmons’ knowledge by a woman named Traci Anna Koval. To the the extent that Ms. Koval ever claimed to have any interest in the video, which is both disputed and inconceivable, given its surreptitious filming, such rights were acquired by our client Allied Industry in 2003, pursuant to a written assignment and release agreement in which Ms. Koval assigned all of her interest in the video to Allied Industry, including the copyright, represented and warranted that no additional copies would be exploited or distributed and expressly consented to injunctive relief.”

So there you have it. The video was filmed surreptitiously, without Mr. Simmons' knowledge. Which means, yes, that he was there, but just didn't know, at the time, that he was being filmed. Once he did know, he acquired rights over copy and distribution. Translation: HIS TAPE, in all manners of speaking.

Gene Simmons Responds To Sex Tape, Le Petit Gene Sues For Damages

Karen — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:21:00 GMT

If you haven't seen the Gene Simmons sex tape, please ensure your stomach is empty and your eyes are closed. I mean really.

Even the model he was collapsing upon turned her head when his giant freak head was coming at her to smooch. Gaggerific. How do I know this? Oh I watched it. Through my fingers and squinty eyes, I swallowed my gag reflex several times in order to serve you, the people. You're welcome.

Anyway, ol' Gene has issued a statement on his website:

"Hi everyone. You may have heard or seen garbage that has sprung up from my past. Rest assured the proper legal team is looking at all ramifications and options.

"And us? Shannon, Nick and Soph are happy and healthy. All is well.

"And thank you all for the kind words of support."

Your past Gene? As in a few months ago? If this chick was much further back in the timeline, I'm pretty sure you'd be the one looking straight into the barrel of a legal team.

Kind words? Uh, Gene? You haven't been reading blogs, obviously. We're all sufficiently grossed out. Even my best friends who had a Foreigner song play at their wedding are going to get divorced and re-married just so they can lose the now tainted memory of their first dance. The only "support" I can offer is for you to buy your sad ass a Bowflex and maybe try this funny food called salad, because you are not going to burn more than 3 calories having sex like that. Dead people burn more calories. The sad thing is, you can't lose weight from that fat head of yours.

Dude. Be like Better Midler. She's best seen "From a Distance." Oh and there's that whole thing about her never having a camera on her while she's being a slave to a wang. I'm pretty sure your poor grissle missle is embarrassed for you.

Gene Simmons Sex Tape

Whit Honea — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:21:00 GMT

If Gene Simmons of KISS fame knows one thing it's sex. He was recently filmed having some of what he knows with a young Aussie hottie named Elsa. In case you were wondering Elsa is not his companion, former playmate Shannon Tweed, you know, the mother of his children. No, she is somebody different. Not the companion.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Shannon has entertained the notion of Gene sleeping around before, hell, she's probably been in the room a few times.

This is Gene Simmons people.

BTW, I was going to put up some pictures from the tape, but even censored it was kind of gross. If you want to see the tongue in NSFW action click here, pervert.

Mattel To Release Heath Ledger Doll

HerBadMother — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:27:00 GMT

This, I think, is a tad disturbing: just a week after Heath Ledger's funeral, toy company Mattel has announced that it will release a Heath Ledger doll. You know, for the kiddies.

From Page Six:

Mattel has announced that the company will be releasing two dolls featuring Heath as the Joker. One version will come with a rocket launcher and the other will be armed with a little knife and both will be marketed to coincide with the release of The Dark Knight in July.

A spokesman for the Ledger family says that they gave the project their blessing: "Heath was very proud of his work in the film and his family is aware and supportive of the plans for the movie."

It's nice that his family is supportive, but isn't the only relevant party here his daughter? Who's going to explain to Matilda why it is that Daddy only comes in miniature - and creepy, lipsticked knife-wielding supervillian miniature, at that? I know that knife-wielding Joker dolls aren't marketed to pre-schoolers, but still. I find it creepy.

The Ledger family plan to stand by Michelle and hope that their grandchild will have that Aussie connection.

I'm sure between Ledger's parents and siblings and Michelle Williams, little Matilda will grow up with her father's spirit and the best memories of him.

Michelle is lucky to have such a wonderful, loving support system for herself and her little girl.

It's a really cool montage to perfection. Sure, it centers on football and showcases the Patriots (it was still possible at the time), but it isn't about football or the Patriots per se. It's just about people or things that have perfected their place in our world. I'm freaking deep.

Paul McCartney: Heart Rumors Were Just That

Karen — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:03:00 GMT

Paul McCartney wants to set the record straight regarding rumors that surfaced this month that he was having major heart surgery.

The 65 year old singer explained, "There was a minor irregularity which I needed to have tests for and which I have now been assured is completely fine."

Saying he wanted to set the record straight, he joked: "I have secretly been enjoying all the sympathy."

Paul McCartney Secret Heart Surgery

Sassy Smith — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Reportedly, Sir Paul McCartney underwent heart surgery last fall - he had coronary angioplasty which is a procedure that opens up arteries and produces a greater blood flow.

A source close to the former Beatle said, "Paul had been complaining about not feeling well and saw a Harley Street specialist at The London Clinic."

"Tests were carried out and the decision was taken to operate. Paul had the angioplasty in a private hospital. It was all very routine but any work on your heart is a big deal," the source added.

McCartney has made a good recovery, as he joined pop princess Kyle Minogue on stage to perform his hit single 'Dance Tonight'.

The insider added, "Luckily Paul is in very good shape. He does regular exercise and is fit. He eats well and does not carry any excess weight. He has always been in exceptional health, which is remarkable when you think of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle he once had."

A rep for Sir Paul has confirmed the surgery last fall. "It was a routine medical operation."
