Voting with the Obamas- Video

Whit Honea — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:36:00 GMT

Barack, Michelle and the girls have done their civic duty, have you? Well, the girls didn't really do anything as they're not old enough to vote (although they are in Chicago).

Who do you think they voted for?

The polls are near closing in some states, if you haven't voted* please do so!

Step-mom Sandra Bullock carried little Sunny James who appears to have hurt her hand.

At least they gave her a cute cast.

Your Mother Does WHAT?

Karen — Thu, 29 May 2008 14:33:00 GMT

Guess which celebrity kid said, "My mommy works at night." And her office? "He'll point out motor homes along the road and say, 'That's where my mommy works.'"

"The implication, well..." Liv Tyler trails off with a laugh. At least she wasn't spooked again!

Does motherhood dictate what kinds of projects she chooses? No: "Whenever I hear actors say that, I think, Wow, they must really be in demand! I'm still trying to figure it all out. [Modeling and acting] are what I've done since I was 14, so it's not like I have another option. But the balance can be hard for me, because for my whole life, my dream was to be a mother."

Liv Tyler and Milo

Dad Gum these two are adorable, no?

In case you missed it, there's a great article on Liv regarding her latest movie, "Strangers."

Mom Liv Tyler Spooked by 'Strangers'

Karen — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:04:00 GMT

In her latest film role, actress and mother Liv Tyler was quite impressed with a few things while making this movie.

First, she was thrilled with audiences reactions to a scene where the 'strangers' break into the house.

"Everybody knows that feeling of hearing a sound, even in an apartment, and you think, 'What is that?' and you often go to look," she says. "Well, what if you went to look and there really was somebody standing in the room?

"Everybody says that moment just freaks them out so much," says Tyler. "And that makes me feel great. I really like that."

Secondly, Tyler made friends on set that helped her get through her break-up with husband of five years, British rocker Royston Langdon.

The actress hung out with the cast and the film's writer-director, Bryan Bertino, in "this amazing little town in the middle of nowhere in South Carolina [where] Bryan found this amazing little bar that was just a tiny little hole in the wall called Therapy Now.

"You had to be a member and there were about five people there, and we would go every Friday night and play pool and drink shots and do karaoke," says Tyler.

"I hadn't had fun like that in a long time, and I kind of needed that."

And yes, Tyler ended up crooning a song by her father, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. "Bryan is Southern, so he knew all sorts of great country songs," says Tyler. "But one time we did a duet of 'What It Takes,' by my dad, which was hysterical."

Tyler confesses she also enjoyed working with and getting to know Speedman, whom she calls "a fantastic co-star."

"I didn't even really know who he was," she says. "I'm the worst. It happens with all of my co-stars. I'm like, 'Who's that?' And then I have to go [on the] Internet and, like, Google them.

"Of all the male actors that I've worked with, he was such an amazing support to me," adds Tyler. "And I needed a lot of support because, firstly, I was a new mom. My son was only a year-and-a-half old, and this was really my first movie back. It was physically, emotionally and in every way draining for me."

Tyler's plans for the summer? "I'm going to wait and go see ['The Strangers'] with my sister, Mia, in [a] movie theater," says Tyler. "I want to see it with an audience. I just can't wait to sit down with my sister, because we both like horror movies."

Lori Loughlin Moms It Up on New 90210

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 May 2008 21:00:00 GMT

The promo is out for the new version of 90210. Lori Loughlin will be speeding up her mom-o-meter, as her real life children are about half the age of what her television kids will be- because Beverly Hills moms have to be young and hot, duh.

The point is that the new spin on the old show, complete with some tagline about if you live in the zip you gotta live by the code, will be coming soon to the CW, and wow, what a piece of crap. Granted, I can't claim to have been a fan of the original, but please tell me that it wasn't this bad.

At least the stars in this promo look like actual teenagers, so there's that.

John Travolta: Leavin' On A Gay Plane?

HerBadMother — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 22:45:00 GMT

Yep. That would be a full-on, lip-to-lip kiss. Which, you know, is not gay at all. It's old news, anyways - or would be if he hadn't been just a tad over the top in his enthusiasm for The Little Mermaid recently. Which, again, not gay at all.

I don't care, really, if John Travolta is gay or not. If he loves men, more power to him. It's the whole holier-than-thou Scientologist family-man, wife-as-beard thing that gets me. Which, if he is gay, he probably learned those bearding strategies from Tom Cruise, but whatever. Be gay, be in the closet, be whatever - just don't hide behind other people.

Or airplanes. Because, you know: telephoto lenses.

John Travolta and The Little Mermaid

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:50:00 GMT

John Travolta put on his Sunday best wig (the thing on his head, the Sunday best beard holding his hand is wife Kelly Preston) and took birthday girl Ella to 46th Street for Disney's The Little Mermaid. Sure beats a banded, bulbous snarfblatt. Those get very boring.

Apparently Mr. Travolta loved the show so much that he was singing along to every song. This is where other celebrity sites mock him, but not me. In fact, I so love The Little Mermaid that I almost feel bad for the beard joke. As a matter of fact I have a flyer right here on my bar, er, desk for a sing-a-long showing of the film at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. I want to be part of that world.

After the show the Travoltas and 26 of Ella's dearest friends went backstage for photos with the cast and some flipper envy. Sources say that John was really enjoying himself and touching all of the costumes.

No sources said that he was singing "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't ya think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl- girl who has everything? Look at this trove, treasures untold. How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around you'd think, sure, she's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty. I have whoozits and whatzis galore. You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty, but who cares? No big deal. I want more," but I like to think that he was.

Tom Brady in a Cast?

Whit Honea — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Tom Brady was seen gimping along in NYC wearing a walking boot type of cast on his right foot. The New England Patriot's quarterback was on his way to his girlfriend's apartment.

Doesn't it seem like he should be surrounded by overly-enthusiastic Giants fans?

Later reports suggest that Brady is fine. Looks like Gisele was able to make him better.

Shrek and Family Celebrate First Holiday Season

Whit Honea — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 21:31:00 GMT

New dad Shrek will be celebrating his first Christmas as a family guy this year, and we'll all be watching it. Well, we can if we want to.

"Shrek the Halls," a new holiday special featuring the original cast from the three blockbuster movies will be on TV tomorrow night. I was going to write about the people in the cast, but the characters are more interesting.

Does anyone else think it ironic that Shrek gets a lot of laughs from mocking Disney, yet the special is airing on ABC?
