Don Cheadle's Babysitting Service to the Stars

Whit Honea — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:18:00 GMT

Don Cheadle's friends, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, have both had babies recently- well, their wives did, but you get the idea.

Cheadle got an idea, too. He says that he and Brad, "text back and forth, and Matt and I text back and forth; everybody's got new babies now, so it's really cool. Now, you know, my kids are at the age where they can be babysitting their kids."

This looks like a possible goldmine for the Cheadle kids. Dad makes a pretty good agent.

Morgan Freeman: In With the Life, Out With the Wife

Whit Honea — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Morgan Freeman has had a rough week. First he had an auto accident (he is currently listed in fair condition) that must have scared the beejezus out of his family and now just a few days later the 71-year-old actor is getting divorced.

That must be a weird thing for his kids and grandchildren- that emotional roller coaster. It really throws Christmas for a loop.

Freeman and Myrna Colley-Lee have been married 24 years. TWENTY-FOUR YEARS!

Morgan Freeman 'In Good Spirits'

Karen — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Just to follow up on our beloved Morgan Freeman, he is 'in good spirits' as he awaits surgery following a near-fatal car accident that resulted in him being removed from the wrecked car with the jaws of life and transported to hospital.

"He has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage but he is in good spirits," said Donna Lee. "He is going to have surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to correct the damage. He says he'll be okay and is looking forward to a full recovery."

We wish him well. I'm sure with 10 grandkids, he is surrounded by loving family.

Morgan Freeman in Critical Condition

Morgan Freeman was in a car crash in Memphis that has left the star in critical condition. There was a female passenger in the car that was also taken to the hospital.

Authorities believe that Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel. They say that is car flipped several times.

Morgan Freeman's kids are all grown now and after 30 minutes on Google and Wikipedia I still can't tell you whether or not he has grandchildren [added- he has 10], so perhaps his story isn't easily justified to the pages of FameCrawler, but still, he's Morgan Freeman and who doesn't care about him?

Freeman may not think fondly on his time as an actor on "The Electric Company," but I do. He's gone on to bigger and better things, but he did his part in shaping my childhood, and for that I am grateful.

Best of luck to Mr. Freeman and his passenger.

Amy Winehouse Baby News - Be Afraid!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:35:00 GMT

When one thinks of Amy Winehouse, the word "baby" should not come to mind. I swear, no matter how hard I try, picturing Amy as a mother - it's beyond all human comprehension. The girl can't even take care of herself, let alone another human being, who, hello?, needs taking care of! She was seen recently with horribly, disgusting dirty feet - seriously, if you can't wash your own feet, you're not capable of feeding, changing, and bathing another, totally dependent person. Yet, "baby" is going to be a part of Amy Winehouse's life....

Amy's dad, Mitch, has been speaking a lot lately about his drug addicted daughter and her progress (?) and her eagerness to make babies. He said that his daughter and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, will start a family when Blake is released from prison.

He said, "When it comes to Amy, I'm hopeful. I think she'll be fine, and if Blake's out of prison in a year, they'll be having a family." Does this scare you as much as it scares me?

Blake's been locked up for 7 months and his trial began last week. He's admitted to assault and perverting the course of justice and he could face up to five years in the slammer. However, no matter, Amy is going to wait it out. Her dad said, "Amy understands Blake might have to do a long time in prison - she's not stupid. But she'll stand by him and he'll stand by her."

Amy's dad also spoke about his anger towards his son-in-law concerning the video footage of Amy, 24, singing a racist song, taking drugs and performing sex acts on her husband - which, by the way, was filmed by Blake. Amy asks him to stop filming at one point.

Said Mitch, "It was Amy’s memory card, which was stolen from her camera a few months ago. It was taken during the height of their drug use, but I'm angry. Blake should be looking after Amy, not filming her when she’s worse for wear."

Amy's father holds on to hope, that his daughter will get well again. Although, he admits that her rehab stint a few months ago didn't work, he's positive the future is brighter.

"She didn’t want to get clean then, but she’s talking about it now. She’s nowhere near as bad as she was. A nurse visits twice a day and we’re kept well informed about how she’s doing.

"She’s making progress. She wants kids and knows she can’t be taking drugs, or the baby would be addicted – she wouldn’t do that."

Yikes, I'm still scared.

Isn't this illegal? I have one of those Red Cross child safety pamphlets, and right there, behind 'Use car seats' and 'Feed regularly' I could have sworn it said, 'Under no circumstances should you let Amy Winehouse hold your baby.' Also, have no idea why he's grabbing Amy's nose, but let's hope he doesn't work for the DEA.

Then Amy decides to take a break from all this maternal crap and knock back a little refreshment. Let's hope she puts the kid down before she lights her pipe.

Pound It: Harry Connick, Jr. and Sara

Whit Honea — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:42:00 GMT

Pound it. My 22-month-old loves to pound it. You make a fist and he's running across the room to bump it. Maybe Harry Connick, Jr. will take him to a basketball game. He and his daughter Sara seem to be enjoying it.

Seriously, Harry, I could use some quiet time. If you want to take the boy to a game, maybe some ice cream, give me a shout. Thanks, man (air pound).
