Portia De Rossi Dashes Hopes of Millions

trix — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:27:00 GMT

Here we were, getting our hopes up that Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres were going to have a baby and Porti de Rossi had to go and dash them all to, well, the place hopes go when they've been dashed.

Portia released a statement, "There’s a story around right now about me that could not be further from the truth. (The IVF story) was just completely made up. The baby thing comes around annually. I find once a year, you know, whether I deny it or not. It doesn’t make any difference."

Way to go Portia, now we have to find someone else to live vicariously through.

Ellen Has A Baby Craving

trix — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:32:00 GMT

Ellen Degeneres wants to have a baby. She says that she gets all mushy and her biological starts ticking away when she watches GAP commercials during the holidays.

“When I see those print ads that have the babies in them for Gap, maybe that’s cute that you have a little Gap knit sweater on the head, little Gap outfit,” she [says]. “They advertise kids very well, those Gap ads. I don’t even look at the clothes — I just go, ‘That’s a cute baby, I’ll take that one.’ ”

“I think that is one of the things about not being able to just accidentally get pregnant and have a child. You really, really have to want one, whether it’s trying to figure out how you get pregnant or if you adopt. I think that’s even more of a reason that people that aren’t able to have kids should be allowed to adopt because you have to really want a kid, and that’s a big responsibility. So we are not taking it lightly. We would really think about it before we did it.”

The girls are going about this correctly. Adopting a baby is a big decision and one that shouldn't be made lightly.

Josh Gracin Introduces Isabella Sophia to the World

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:35:00 GMT

American Idol star and country singer Josh Gracin introduced the world to their fourth child this week in US Weekly. He and wife Ann Marie showed everyone 3-week-old Isabella Sophia Gracin and she's gorgeous.

Josh says, "Isabella is the biggest of all our babies, outweighs the others by a pound and a half, and is an inch longer than our other three at birth." Looks like her brother, Landon, will be surrounded by girls on all sides. He has sisters Briana Marie, 6-1/2 and Gabriella Ann, 2.

"With three girls and one boy, I'm afraid our son Landon is going to suffer the same fate as me growing up with four sisters. He's going to have to learn to hold his own!"

That's for sure. I just had the one sister and it was about as difficult getting bathroom time as it is getting a lion to go for the salad bar.

Paul Anderson's Need For Speed is Slowed Thanks to Dadhood

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Director Paul W.S. Anderson, 43-year-old director of rocking movies like "Mortal Kombat" and "Resident Evil," says he checked his "need for speed" when girlfriend Milla Jovovich gave birth to daughter Ever Gabo. Ever is 9 months old now and family man Anderson gave up his beloved Jaguar for a Cadillac Escalade.

"As a huge family vehicle, I'd give it a 10. It seats so many people - we have one baby, three dogs, my family regularly come over and visits from England. It's a fantastic vehicle for shuffling a large amount of people around in immense comfort."

Geez, you'd think this came from a car magazine or something. Oh, it did. It's from Motor Trend. Despite it being a freaking Cadillac Escalade, Anderson insists they're doing it for the environment.

"We are a one car family right now -- director, movie star, one car between us," Paul says, "We're trying to reduce our carbon footprint." Dude, if you really want to stop global warming, get yourself a Hummer. That's what all the big names are doing. It gets, like, half a mile per gallon or something awesome like that.

Anderson's latest movie is "Death Race," a remake of the classic "Death Race 2000," which starred David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone.

Kelsey Grammer, 53-year-old star of "Frasier" and the more recent "Back to You," and his wife were seen at the U.S. Open yesterday. Grammer and wife, Camille, are the parents of daughter Mason (7) and son Jude (who just turned 4).

When Camille went to the ladies room, Kelsey went and visited with Queen Aretha Franklin and they had a nice little chat while Kelsey kind of respected Aretha's boobs. What is it with men and boobs, anyway? I'm a dude and I have no clue.

Which Celebrity Who Is Neither Angelina Nor Brad Has A Brand New Baby Boy?

Because, you know, Hollywood doesn't stop procreating just because Angie and Brad hog the celebrity baby headlines.

Kyle MacLachlan and wife Desiree Gurber welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on Friday. Callum Lyon MacLachlan is said to be healthy and gorgeous etc, etc.

Pregnant 'Man' Shares Baby Photos & Baby Name

Sassy Smith — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:11:00 GMT

Pregnant 'man' Thomas Beatie gave birth earlier this month and has now shared photos of the newborn and her name...

Photo after the jump

Baby is Susan Juliet - Susan is Thomas' mother's name and Juliet is Nancy's middle name. Susan weighed 9 lbs and 5 ounces and took her time coming into the world - Thomas labored for 40 hours. Thomas' wife Nancy is breastfeeding the baby - by "induced lactation."

The couple shared baby photos from People Magazine on Good Morning America on Wednesday. Thomas calls his daughter his little princess and thinks baby Susan looks just like him - I'd have to agree!

What is Wrong With Katie Holmes?

Karen — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Pictures from the set of Eli Stone where Katie has been filming, show the young actress covered her hands in every one. But WHY?

(I'd be covering those shoes, personally.)

One picture (below) shows why Kate's been hiding her hands:

Yeesh! Why are they the color of grape juice? Perez Hilton is speculating Katie has undergone a Scientology cleanse of some sort, and taken a high dose of niacin. I'm not sure. What do you guys think - she is clothed head to toe!

Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie Gives Birth!!!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:52:00 GMT

Pregnant dude, Thomas Beatie has given birth! I'm assuming he had a C-section because, uh, the alternative to birthing that baby out would not be pretty. So what did he have?

He and his spouse Nancy have welcomed a daughter. No other details are available at this time, but we'll let you know name and weight etc etc when we know.

*Edit* Thomas had a natural birth - no C-section! Baby was born at Bend, Oregon and according to a source who told ABC News, "She's [the baby] really cute, really pretty."

Congrats!

Celebrity Baby Names - Thumbs Up Or Down?

HerBadMother — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:20:00 GMT

So apparently there's this guy, Bruce Lansky, who calls himself the 'Baby Name Guru' and devotes his time to passing judgment on the names that people pick for their children. Which I suppose is useful in some abstract, hyperfunctioning kind of way, but really - who the hell cares what some guy named Bruce thinks about baby names?

Well, if you do care, here's what he thinks about the names that certain celebrities have given their children recently:

On Jessica Alba's daughter, Honor Marie -

I'm trying to imagine what I'd say if Jessica and Cash told me the newest member of their family was a beautiful baby girl named Honor. I hope I would make a safe response like "Oh, that's a nice name" rather than blurt out "Really?" Needless to say, you can tell a lot about a name by how friends and family respond to the birth announcement.

Like all the virtue names for girls (such as Faith, Hope, and Charity), Honor is a quality we need in the White House. But is it a good name? Neither Honor nor the more popular Honora have ever been ranked in the Top 1000 girls' names. And for good reason. The only Honor I can recall is Honor Blackman, a British actress who played Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger." Like all Bond girls, she wore a skimpy bathing suit, had a stupid name, and lost her "honor" to Bond fairly quickly.

Virtue names for girls represent parents' fond wishes that their daughters exemplify that particular virtue. As noble as this sentiment may be, most people would probably agree that some virtues don't work well as names. Faith, Hope, and Charity are common names, but would you name your child Truth, Justice, Honesty, or Humility? (If you're considering any of these names, I hope you'll come back to your senses-immediately.)

Like Honesty and Humility, Honor is a stiff and awkward name. Can you imagine calling an adorable little baby girl Honor? I'm guessing Jessica, Cash, and Honor's playmates will be calling Honor by her middle name, Marie, before too long.

My verdict: Thumbs down!

On Tori Spelling's daughter Stella Doreen -

Actress Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have named their brand-new baby daughter Stella Doreen McDermott. You may recall Stella was the name in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire that was called out by Stanley Kowalski, a character most memorably portrayed in the 1951 film by Marlon Brando, whose performance turned him into one of America's finest (and most famous) actors.

Knowing that Stanley and Stella lived in a low-rent district of New Orleans and that Stanley often lounged around the house in a T-shirt, theater and movie buffs may question why Stella is a popular name for girls roughly sixty years after the play and film premiered. Good question.

With Latin and French origins, Stella means "star." It's a variation of Estelle, a name that was last ranked among the top 1,000 girls' names in the '60s. Stella was ranked #244 in 2007-up from #656 in the year 2000. That's a big move up for a name that most people hadn't heard before Brando yelled it in what movie reviewers called "a primal scream."

Though it may surprise some people, Stella makes a very positive first impression: "People say Stella is more than just a pretty face; she has a pretty personality, too." (I quote from my latest book, 5-Star Baby Name Advisor). It's conceivable that designer Stella McCartney may have played a role in sprucing up this name's image.

In addition to making a positive first impression, the name is easy to spell and hard to mispronounce. And here's another prediction: Tori and Dean can count on the fact that most people will call their daughter Stella --- there aren't any common nicknames or variations of the name. Add up all these positive factors and you'll understand why Stella is a 4-star name.

My verdict: Thumbs up!

Okay, seriously? Is this guy on crack? Honor is a beautiful, beautiful name for a little girl. Stiff and awkward? Really? I just disagree, totally. It's lovely, and she's a lucky little girl to have parents thoughtful enough to bestow such a lovely name upon her.

And Stella? It's a pretty enough name, but I don't know that pointing out that Brando went all primal scream with it helps its appeal. And since when does 'easy to spell' make a name more compelling? By that measure we should all just name our kids Jack and Jill and be done with it.

Whatever. If a celebrity calls their kid Pilot Inspektor or Fifi Trixibelle, I can understand parsing the merits of such unusual names. But dissecting and judging (thumbs up or down? really? isn't that just a bit too last millenium?) names like Honor and Stella? That's reaching.

But I guess careers as Hollywood gurus are hard to come by these days. You make do with what you can.

TomKat's Housewarming Party: You're Not Invited

Karen — Fri, 30 May 2008 17:32:00 GMT

But I am!

Oh wait, no I'm not.

"Life & Style has exclusively obtained the invitation to Katie Holmes’ and Tom Cruise’s housewarming party at the couple’s new Beverly Hills mansion.

The invite, which requests that guests wear cocktail attire, reads:

“Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise invite you to share an evening in their new home, Saturday, May 31, 8:30 p.m., at home, Beverly Hills.” "

Didn't they just show Oprah their big house in the mountains? That's kind of a crappy invitation - I mean, there's no address. Are we just supposed to follow the Lights of Xenu to get there?

Doesn't matter, all my cocktail dresses are at the dry cleaners anyway. Screw them.

Someone's Obsessing Over David Caruso, Skinny Legs And All

HerBadMother — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:32:00 GMT

If there's one thing that I've learned writing for Famecrawler, it's that every single celebrity, even the most obscure and unlikely, has at least one obsessive fan. David Caruso, by my count, has at least two. Which doesn't exactly make him A-list, I know, but it does mean that I wasn't surprised when I heard he had a stalker.

Because if somebody is obsessive enough to have a little freak-out when a junior league gossip writer mocks his skinny little legs - as modelled in a tabloid photo of the actor carrying his small child - they just might be obsessive enough to try to hunt him down and touch those skinny little legs themselves.

Thankfully, I don't think that the Austrian woman who is being pursued by authorities for threatening Caruso with death (for refusing to sign autographs, apparently, and not because he has skinny legs) is one of the two fans who roam the Internet looking for opportunities to defend the poor man from mockery and injustice.

From E! News:

According to the Tiroler Tageszeitung newspaper of Innsbrook, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the 41-year-old defendant, whose identity was not disclosed due to Austria's privacy laws, after she apparently went AWOL.

The news comes just days after her lawyer promised prosecutors that his client would be present for the proceedings, which were expected to kick off on Wednesday.

The fugitive is accused of sending more than 100 letters to the 52-year-old actor, famed for playing Lt. Horatio Caine on the hit CBS TV series, and stalking him for an autograph. When Caruso refused, the Tyrol native allegedly bombarded him with death threats.

One little chestnut went thusly: "I will locate you and your ugly Latina tramp and kill you."

(The tramp in question is possibly an allusion to actress Alana De La Garza, who played Caine's cancer-suffering wife, Marisol Delko, on the show. A sniper working for a drug dealer dusted her character at the end of season four.)

Thanks to some crack detective work, the FBI, working in tandem with Austria's Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau, tracked down the apparently obsessed fan and took her into custody last year.

Per the Austria Press Agency, the suspect underwent an evaluation by a court-appointed shrink, who testified that the suspect was suffering from a "profound personality disorder."

It's too bad that he's just a fictional criminal investigator with a Jesus complex, because otherwise he probably could have tracked her down already himself and looked at her over his sunglasses and uttered some cryptic but no doubt brilliant assessment of the motivations for her crime, and that would be that. But that's the thing: his tortured-but-brilliant-and-compassionate investigator with the slick suits is fictional. In real life, he's an actor with a stalled career and skinny legs.

(*ducking from inevitable blows of outrage from his fan*)

Man Style Tip #367: Carry A Baby

HerBadMother — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:31:00 GMT

I ordinarily don't like Liev Schreiber. I think that pretty much whenever he opens his mouth, he sounds like a smug ass, and also, he dresses funny. But stick a baby in his arms, and all of sudden? Cool, attractive dad.

And that's even with the crumpled shorts and the cheap untucked shirt. Baby makes it all work, somehow. Baby even makes him look a little, you know, friendly. Or maybe I'm imagining things. Still: witness the power of the cute-baby-as-dad-accessory! Get yours now!

Luke Bryan Welcomes Baby

HerBadMother — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:45:00 GMT

So, um, I don't really know who Luke Bryan is, but he has, apparently, just had a baby. That is, his wife did. Also, he's a country music star. Which is great, for him. The baby, and the stardom. And the wife, too, I suppose.

The story, from People.com, via CelebrityMoms.com: Country star Luke Bryan and wife Caroline welcomed their first child on Tuesday.

Thomas Boyer Bryan arrived at 11:34 a.m. at a Nashville area hospital. He weighed in at 6 lbs, 14 oz. The family plans on calling him "Bo"

The "All My Friends Say" singer says he is "over the moon" to meet his new son.

"I thought being on stage was an amazing feeling, but there is nothing that can top watching my wife bring our son in to this world," he says. "There is no way I would have missed this for anything."

Christina Aguilera and Playboy

Karen — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:06:00 GMT

Aguilera might not be selling her baby photos but would she sell her own to Playboy? “Hef has always loved Christina,” an “insider” told OK! magazine.

Not true. Aguilera’s rep calls the report “false,” and a friend of the singer’s told OK! that her pinup days are behind her now. “That was old Christina, Christina circa four years ago. She’s looking to reinvent herself and grow. She wouldn’t consider it but she finds it flattering to be offered at all.”

Isla Fisher is A Protective Mother

Karen — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:32:00 GMT

The Daily Mail did a little piece on Isla Fisher and there's one quote that stood out for me. See if you can find it.

On breaking in to Hollywood: “When I did my first audition for the movie Scooby Doo, they flew me to America first class,” she remembers.
“At the time, I didn’t have any money and then I was flown to LA and put up at the Mondrian Hotel. It was like landing on Mars!”

On converted to Judaism in keeping with Baron Cohen, a devout member of the Jewish faith: ”I love religions and find them fascinating and I find Judaism very beautiful,” she says. “It’s enriched my life enormously.”

On making wedding plans (engaged since 2004): “I’m thinking of not inviting Owen and Vince so I can see whether they can crash our wedding,” she co-starred with them in the 2005 blockbuster hit Wedding Crashers.

On why people take her picture: “We’re starting to have our pictures taken a little more often now, probably because Sacha’s so tall (6ft 3in) while I’m so small (5ft 2in), I’m like a circus freak!”

On living in Hollywood: “Oh, I always thought I’d be living in Hollywood, in a seven-bedroom house with a massive swimming pool. It’s just that when I imagined it, I always thought I’d be the maid.”

On why she won’t talk about daughter Olive: “You know, motherhood is my favourite topic in my personal life and I won’t shut up about it, but it’s not something I want to discuss publicly just because of the amount of attention it draws to a small person who didn’t choose to be exposed.”

On her new romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe: “I think some of the slick, Hollywood romantic comedies where you know in the first act who’s going to end up with who aren’t realistic, but this is definitely a realistic story where all the women are just normal people who are flawed.

“Would my past relationships have made brilliant romantic comedies?” She laughs.

“Comedies, maybe.”

Celebrity parents, take note.
