Whit Honea — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Whit Honea — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:33:00 GMT

Lisa Loeb is featured in an intereview over on the Babble main page. She talks to Jennifer V. Hughes about her new kid's CD and her summer camp experiences.

It's an interesting piece and makes me want to buy the CD- or send my kids to camp.

Told you camp was making a comeback.

Whit Honea — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:26:00 GMT

Babble Talk: The 50 Coolest Celebrity Moms

Whit Honea — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:36:00 GMT

Catherine Connors has put together a pretty good list of the 50 coolest celebrity moms. It's a nice collection of mothers (and almost mothers) that meet a criteria established soley by Catherine and her innate understanding of things cool. It's a gift and a curse. It's sure to entertain and possibly raise some questions- for instance, #40 Kate Moss. Kate Moss? She's about as cool as a rock, a crack rock. You can use that.

Check out Catherine's list and discuss it among yourselves: The 50 Coolest Celebrity Moms.

Babble Talk: Mates of State

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 20:03:00 GMT

Babble is lucky enough to have a blog written by the excellent band Mates of State, who are also a married couple living the rock life with their baby in tow. Perhaps you didn't know this. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the band. Know them, read them, and give them a listen. You'll be glad you did.

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 18:25:00 GMT

Check it out!

Babble Talk: Wendy Wilson

Whit Honea — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:52:00 GMT

With all apologies to Wendy Wilson and Ada Calhoun, I'm posting this too late to catch the episode of Supernanny that is discussed in the interview, but the rest of it is still an interesting read.

Check it out on Babble!

BTW, she was always my favorite, i.e., the hottest, of the Wilson Phillips girls and she's still looking good!

Whit Honea — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:54:00 GMT

Over on the mainpage of Babble you'll find a list of the 15 Worst Celebrity Parents of the Year. Maybe you've heard of them. Go check it out!

Feel free to come back over here after the fact and read about some good parents, you know, to cleanse the palette.

Now at Babble! Three Great Tastes in One Great Place: Almond, Grohl and Honea

Whit Honea — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 19:03:00 GMT

Well, the last guy doesn't taste that great. Kind of salty with garlic undertones. The first two, however, are like freakin' chocolate and peanutbutter.

Steve Almond writes Baby Daddy here at Babble. He also does a bunch of other cool stuff that I envy but don't know how to do- like write for Spin and get invited to Dave Grohl's house.

Steve has a post today where he talks about his BFF Dave Grohl, professional fighter of foo and father of one. It's a good read about a cool guy. Check it out.

So where do I fit in to this story (and warrant my name in the title)? I don't. It's just that Almond is a bit of a namedropper, admittedly, and he dropped mention of FameCrawler all non-chalant like. Obviously he was ~~not~~ talking about me. I read that and I ran with it. It's what I do.

Babble Talk: Corey Feldman

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 20:43:00 GMT

Corey Feldman was interviewed for Babble by Sarah Hepola.

It's pretty interesting as Feldman covers a lot of topics that parents wrestle with like diet and whether or not to let our kids be rich and famous.

I still can't believe that Feldman turned out to be the good Corey.

The one thing that I wish he would have touched on is the Goonies sequel. What's up with that?

Babble Talk: Hanson

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:33:00 GMT

Hanson was interviewed for Babble by Sarah Hepola.

It's pretty much all of the marriage and baby stuff we've been bringing you for a while, but out of their own mouths as opposed to us just making shit up.

They also have a bit of advice for Lindsay Lohan, and it's not "Mm Bop."

Babble Talk: Jessica Seinfeld is a Sneaky Cook

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Jessica Seinfeld was interviewed by Gwynne Watkins for Babble regarding her new book Deceptively Delicious. The wife of Jerry Seinfeld talks about sneaking food that is good for you into food that tastes good. You know, sneaky shit. Those picky kids need to eat something healthy.

For instance, she puts vegetables in brownies. We used to do that to. Pot is a vegetable, right?

I won't even talk about mushrooms on pizza.

Hey, whatever it takes. It's got to be better than gnawing on lead toys or eating aqua dots. I won't even go into bindeez. Whatever happened to good old spinach dip and potato salad? That's like vegetables. Don't kids eat anything besides junk and recalled toys?

Babble Talk: Maria Bello

Whit Honea — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:28:00 GMT

Mina Hochberg has an interview with actress Maria Bello who, it turns out, is not the same person as Julie Bowen. They're both pretty hot though. But I digress.

Go read the interview about her career, her kid, and literary stars from Jane Austen to Harry Potter*.

*small mention in interview, but great for Google traffic!

Babble Talk: Jane Aronson, the Orphan Doctor

Whit Honea — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 18:49:00 GMT

The main page of Babble has some really interesting stuff. Recently Ada Calhoun did an interview with Jane Aronson, aka, the Orphan Doctor. It's a nice piece on a very special woman and provides some great insight into the world of adoption and what it entails. As you may have guessed, she's worked with the likes of Brangelina and Mary-Louise Parker. Check it out!
