Slumdog Kids Finally Get A Home!

Josh loposer — Wed, 27 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Since the incredible success of Slumdog Millionaire at the Academy Awards, most news about the production has been pretty un-inspirational.

On the one hand, you've got people piling on director Danny Boyle and the producers for not making these kids rich, and on the other, you've got Mumbai officials bulldozing the shanty towns where the child stars live. Well, get ready for some good news.

Danny and co. have made good on their promise to get these kids off the street. According to reports, Azharuddin Ismail (the kid who played young Salim) and his family are in the process of moving to their new home, purchased by the Slumdog trust fund. Here's how a director of the fund described the place:

"comfortable, in a good neighborhood (and) near his school" and cost "upwards of 2 million rupees" ($42,000).

As for Rubina Ali, the actress who played young Latika, Boyle says they are currently shopping for a home for her family as well. Awesome!

Both families were displaced when Mumbai housing officials bulldozed their shanty town with no prior notice.

Child Star of Slumdog Millionaire is Homeless

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 19:03:00 GMT

10-year-old child star of "Slumdog Millionaire" - Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail - had his home bulldozed today in a Mumbai slum. Azharruddin was sleeping when a policeman woke him up and told him to get out. The boy lives with his family in a shanty town.

"A police officer took a bamboo stick to hit me, and I was frightened," Azhar said.

The authorities said that the family will be given a new home somewhere else.

Oddly, despite $326 million in earnings and 8 Oscars for "Slumdog Millionaire," the two child stars of the film are still living in poverty.

Slum demolitions are rather common in Indian cities, motivated by officials who wish to keep crowds in control.

Azhar's mother says, "They didn't give prior notice. We didn't even get a chance to take out our belongings." Even though she and the family have lived in the shanty town for longer than 15 years, she has no legal claim to the land. "I don't know what I am going to do," she said, glancing at a plastic bag next to her, stuffed with her family's things.

Families living in demolished shanties are often promised relocation into government housing, but more often than not those are empty promises.

The filmmakers of "Slumdog" claim they've done what they can to help the young stars. A trust was set up for the kids' housing, their education, and a little nestegg for when they finish high school.

None of that seems to be helping Azhar, though, who is now homeless.

Sting's Daughter In Intensive Care With Fractured Skull

Josh loposer — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Sting and Trudie Styler's 18-year-old daughter "Coco" has been in intensive care for four days after taking a hard fall at an LA restaurant.

Eliot Paulina "Coco" Sumner (also a musician) was in LA putting the finishing touches on her first album for Island Records when it happened. Reportedly, she complained about feeling strange while sitting at her table. When she tried to stand, that's when she took a serious dive, hitting her head on a chair.

"The doctors are still running tests. Obviously it’s a serious injury and Coco is under constant surveillance.'

A friend told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Trudie and Sting were obviously besides themselves with worry. It was a blessing that Sting was in the States at the time and was able to get to the hospital so quickly.

‘Coco is still very shaken but she is planning to come back to the UK very soon."

What's perhaps even scarier is that she hadn't been drinking, which would've been my first guess. So, at this point, there's really no telling what caused her to black out.

Trudie hopped the first plane to LA from their home in the UK to be with Coco at the hospital. The whole incident is pretty much a parent's worst nightmare: your young daughter, overseas, seriously injured...

"She’s a real daddy’s girl and very close to Sting. He keeps a close eye on her. When she called to say there had been an accident there was panic all round. He dropped everything he was doing and rushed straight to the hospital."

Friends of Coco say she's recovering well, and plans to finish the album before going back to Britain.

Trudie and Sting have four children together, Mickey, 25, Jake 24, Coco, 18, and Giacomo, 13.

Suri Meets Minnie and Mickey!

Karl Erikson — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:06:00 GMT

During her Valetine's Day visit to Disney World in Florida, cutie pie Suri Cruise got to meet the king of the park himself, Mickey Mouse, along with his wife/girlfriend(?) Minnie Mouse. And naturally, the onlookers were in abundance. Daddy Tom Cruise and mommy Katie Holmes had to bow down before the Mick and acknowledge his superiority.

Me, I had to wait until I was 38 to meet Mickey in person. Celebrities...they have the life.

Dakota Fanning Raves About "Twilight" Sequel Role

Karl Erikson — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:01:00 GMT

Child star Dakota Fanning wants to put on the fangs in the "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon." She's in negotiations to play the vampire Jane in the movie, set to start filming in March.

"I really hope it works out," Dakota says. "It would be a really fantastic experience, I'm sure." Not to mention big money, since "Twilight" did so well in theaters, despite being an utterly crap movie.

Last week, rumors said that Dakota, 14, was offered the role without an audition because Chris Weitz - the director - is confident she's perfect for the part. Jane is a member of the Volturi vampire clan, described as a "petite blonde with a Boticelli angel-like face and crimson irises." Sounds just like Dakota.

Lindsay Lohan Mad: Dad Cheated On Mom & Had A Love Child

Sassy Smith — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 17:36:00 GMT

Actress Lindsay Lohan is not happy with her father after finding out he cheated on her mother and had another child (allegedly) with his lover. Lohan took to her blog to vent her feelings....

Lindsay wrote:

"My father just let my family and I know, amongst others that he had another child after my little sister Aliana, or maybe he had it before Aliana?? either way, he cheated on my mother and that really sucks..."

She added (leaving out her father):

"I love my Mom, Aliana, Cody, Michael, and my Nana Sullivan!! I will be missing them this Christmas as it is the first one I am spending away from home. I am spending it with Samantha in Los Angeles."

In June of this year it was reported that Michael Lohan had an illegitimate child with a woman named Kristi Horn, 13 years ago. Lohan admitted that during his separation from (now ex) wife Dina Lohan, he and Horn were having an affair but wouldn't confirm if the child conceived was indeed his until an official paternity test was conducted.

Even though the Lohan kids are older now, it must be hard for them nonetheless, knowing that their father cheated on their mom. They also have a half sister (maybe....well I think for sure, considering she looks exactly like Michael Lohan!) that they haven't had an opportunity to get to know (if they should want to).

Malia and Sasha, Meet Miley

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Malia and Sasha, your dad just won the U.S. Presidential Election - what are you going to do now? Go to Disneyland?

While I'm sure the girls will be visiting the famous theme park at some point, another offer has come in from Billy Ray Cyrus: To visit the set of daughter Miley's show, "Hannah Montana." While it isn't clear if the new First Daughters are Miley Cyrus fans, Billy Ray says they're welcome anytime.

"The invitation is there,” Miley’s dad said. “The ‘Hannah Montana’ film comes out in April. Maybe something might happen around then. Maybe not. I don’t know… I have got to keep a secret.”

“I think that would be really cool and if anything, have them visit the set,” Cyrus noted. “They could see what we do and we could hear about what they do.”

Miley had some words of advice for Sasha and Malia, whose dad is the most famous person in the world right now.

“I think, more than anything, it would be to find your own identity,” Cyrus said. “Something that makes you stand out where you can be like, ‘This is Miley and she does this.’ I think that is a cool way to be if you can have your identity away from your parents, away from a friend or brother or sister.”

Also, Miley might want to caution them about taking pictures of themselves with their cell phones.

Ali Lohan Is 14 But Looks 38 - Photos

Sassy Smith — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:08:00 GMT

Ali Lohan, younger sister of actress (or trainwreck) Lindsay Lohan, is only 14-years-old. However, for whatever reason, she most always looks like someone much older. Why? Does mom Dina Lohan not notice this?

Photos after the jump!

Ali did photos for Supermodels Unlimited mag (July/August issue), and while there are a couple of shots, that the teen does look like a teen (the bubblegum pic is cute), others certainly make her appear older than her 14 years. Weird and kinda creepy.

Michael Jackson Feels "Wise and Sage" But Not Little Boys

Karl Erikson — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Yesterday was Michael Jackson's 50th birthday. In an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America," Mikey said that he's having a "wonderful time and relaxing." Probably in a hyberbaric chamber filled with chicken blood or something.

The King of All Things ~~Weird~~ Pop told GMA for his birthday he would "just have a little cake with my children and we'll probably watch some cartoons" before getting right back to work. Yeah, that last album was slamming, wasn't it? When was that again? 1985? Can't wait for the new work.

"I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read," he said. Teaching them to read? Um, let's see, Prince Michael is 11, Paris is 10, and Prince Michael II is 6. Dude, if you're kids aren't reading by now, you're an immense failure in the parenting department.

Oh, shut it. Like he was up for any parenting awards? The man dangles children over balconies. He shouldn't have custody of himself, let alone children. If you don't think those kids are going to make an entire squad of therapists very rich some day, you're deluded.

Here She Is - Lohan "Love Child"

Sassy Smith — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 12:05:00 GMT

The Lohan family seems to have lots of controversy following them. And now with the rumored "love child" of Lindsay's dad, Michael Loghan, it just keeps coming. Michael is now reportedly going to sell his paternity results and the first photos of himself with his (possible) daughter, Ashley Kaufmann, 13. Is this family messed or what? And what about Ashley's mom, Kristi Kaufmann? Is she wanting to exploit her young daughter for cash? Apparently the young teen wants to record an album and she and her mom have approached several studios about hashing out a deal. Perfect timing? Perhaps. Because - why would you put this out in the public until you knew for certain that Michael Lohan is the biological father? What if he's not? Then what? You've disrupted your own child's life and the Lohan children as well.

A source told MSNBC, "Ashley has more talent than Lindsay or Ali." A pal said, "Ashley's singing ability just proves that the family talent comes from Michael, not Dina Lohan."

What about Michael's other children (with ex Dina) - Lindsay, Michael, Ali and Cody - how does this all affect them? Michael said, "Years later the woman contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child."

Lohan has said of his new-found daughter, she "is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of Cody, believe it or not."

Hopefully, for the sake of the children involved, these "adults" can work this out and make it as painless for them as possible.

Lohan Called a Liar by Lovechild's Mother

Karen — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:33:00 GMT

While the jury is still out as to whether Michael Lohan actually fathered a "love child" with Kristi Kaufmann in 1995, Kaufmann has been quick to call Lohan a 'liar' in the press.

She had a paternity test in 2005 as she suspected her ex-husband was not the father of the teenager - and has allegedly been proven right.

She says, "The only other person I had slept with was Michael. My daughter has a right to know who her father is - and it's Michael." Kaufmann adds, "He met me in Houston and we met again in New York.

"I just want to make sure the truth comes out. Michael is already out there spreading lies."

Lohan told Extra, "My lawyers are dealing with this. When we find out the truth we will deal with it in the appropriate manner."

JLo's Dog Has Issues

Sassy Smith — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:08:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez is a busy mom of twins - and I'm guessing since she and husband Marc don't have a nanny, it makes it hard for Jen to spend much time with her pooch. So doggie is lonely and thus seeks out attention, and by attention, I mean he bites the arse of a flight attendant (allegedly and I don't know if was really her butt that he chewed a chunk out of) and now, Lopez is being sued for a cool five million bucks. Hey - they got six mil for the twins' photos, so it's all good right? Unless they blew it all on cashmere onesies and ruby studded booties?

Airline stewardess, Lisa Wilson, has filed a $5 million lawsuit after she alleges JLo's dog Floyd "lunged" at her when she walked past him during a 2006 flight.

Lisa says after the dog bit her, she fell over and then required surgery for excruciating back pain.

Camp Lopez has had no comment thus far.

I always wonder why people wait years to sue? It's 2008 and this took place in 2006 - why the wait? Maybe it was actually Jennifer that bit her. Ha, I'm totally ~~not~~ kidding.

Love Child For Lohan

Sassy Smith — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Oh the drama for the Lohan family! There's Lindsay and rumored trouble on movie sets, her stints in rehab, mom Dina and her reality show, the exploitation by both Dina and ex-husband Michael, of their children, Michael's jail time - it never ends. Now comes the whole pregnancy thing....

According to OK! magazine, Michael Lohan - who has four children with ex Dina - has a fifth child with a woman named Christie. In response to the allegations, Lohan has said this:

“I met Christie [the mother of the reported love-child] in 1982 in Houston. In 1995, when I was separated from Dina, she contacted me that she was moving to Long Island…I was with her for a week. Years later, while I was in prison, she contacted to me to say she had a paternity test done that revealed the child’s father was not her husband. She said I was the only other man she had been with. My lawyers are dealing with this. When we find out the truth we will deal with it in the appropriate manner.”

Christie has spoke with OK!, saying this:

“It’s time for Michael to take responsibility." She also said that she and Michael have had many conversations and even called his (alleged) daughter for her 13th birthday on June 12, but has never supported his child financially.

The scandal never stops!

Jennifer Lopez - Bad Mommy?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:38:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez welcomed her twins Max and Emme just 4 months ago, and she might be feeling what any new mom can experience - the thought that you're not doing a good enough job taking care of your baby. JLo is constantly needing reassuance from husband Marc Anthony, as she's unsure of herself sometimes and wants to know she's doing things right. Marc has begged her to stop worrying so much!

Closer mag reports a source said, "Jennifer wants to be the perfect mother, but she crumbles if any normal little thing goes wrong.

"If the twins cry, she thinks it's because she's a bad mom, and bursts into tears herself."

I'm sure her mommy hormones are still out of whack - she should give herself a break. Having a baby is hard - having two at the same time - way harder! And perfection? No such thing in the world of parents and kids - not gonna find that JLo!

The source continued, "Marc had to sit her down and make her understand that she's a good mom and it's normal for babies to cry." Yup, that's what infants do - eat, poop, sleep, cry, poop, and cry and eat.

Friends are also concerned about Jennifer's strict diet and exercise routine and that her anxieties have caused health issues.

The insider said, "Jen is a total perfectionist, and she's treating motherhood the same way she goes about her career -- it's all or nothing.
"Marc is concerned that she's not eating properly or sleeping because she's obsessed with looking after the twins. If she leaves them with her own mother for a couple of hours to have some time off, she beats herself up about it and feels guilty."

Oh I've learned over the years, you have to let go of the guilt - moms, should not feel guilty about having some time to themselves. It's so important to make that time!

"Marc has forced Jen to take some time off and have a massage to unwind, but she even struggled to relax during that," the source added, "He wants her to stop worrying about the kind of mother she's being and just enjoy it."

Enjoy Jen - kids grow up way fast. Oh, I will give you one piece of advice - get some flat shoes!!!

Listen, I'm a shoe girl, I really am. I love heels as much as the next shoe freak - but, there is no way on this green earth, that I would ever walk down a flight of airplane steps, with jeans so long I'd surely trip on the hem, wearing spiked 6 inch high heels, WHILE CARRYING MY INFANT. Call me crazy or paranoid - and trust me, I can work it in heels - but you couldn't pay me to pull that kind of stunt! JLo is apparently way braver than I, because she did exactly that!

One more pic after the jump!

Jennifer and hubby Marc Anthony and twins, Max and Emme, arrived in Belgium on Wednesday - Marc was there for a performance on his mini tour. The arrived by private jet of course and no one spotted any nannies. I guess they really are going to be full-time parents to their babies!

Marc has said about taking his twins on tour, "When I perform... they will inspire me. I just need toys for the kids." About Jennifer, he said, "She's such an amazing mom and I'm so proud of her. She's such a gem to watch."

Okay, I'm happy for them, but seriously, Jen, you have to invest in some flat shoes when carrying your babies!

Another Lopez Baby On The Way!

Stop The Presses! JLo To Become Fulltime Mom!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 24 May 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twins, Max and Emme, a few months ago, so one would assume she'd be a full-time mom. She apparently wasn't, because she's decided to care for her own babies now that the nanny has quit, thus now, becoming a full-time mom!

Hey, I'm not knocking anyone with a nanny (hell I may have hired one too if that was feasable) but it seems that some celebrities think that it's something amazing if they decide to care for their own children without nannies - like they deserve some sort of award. Uh, most of us moms do it 24/7 right from the get go. True story.

JLo and Marc's nanny left the job last month and Lopez has no plans to replace her, thus caring for the twins around the clock. Yup, babies need constant care.

A family friend said to Us Weekly, "She's beyond hands-on." Both Jennifer and Marc are putting their family first, careers second for the next year or so. "They both told their managers that the next year would be all about family."

They're headed to Spain next month - Marc has a prescheduled tour.

I'll wish JLo good luck, I'm sure it's not easy caring for twins - one baby is hard enough!

Dina Lohan - Kids Home Alone & House Fire Breaks Out

Sassy Smith — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Dina Lohan, mom of the year - seriously, she was voted that - is getting set to entertain the world with a look into her life! E! Networks has a new promo for Dina's upcoming reality show, Living Lohan. Nothing like airing your questionable parenting skills on TV!

Video clip after the jump

The Post is claiming that at one point in time, Dina left the house, to party, and Ali, 14, and Cody, 11, were home alone and a fire broke out in the home. It's not clear how serious the fire was or when exactly it happened or if it will be part of the series.

Other statements made by Dina, which seem laughable coming from her, are "A lion protects her cubs," and "it's a big game of chess and it's our move."

Lohan calls someone about an allegedly naked photo of Lindsay, threatening, "you need to get it down immediately because I've already been in touch with my attorneys and the story is absolutely false." And she then says, "there's got to be boundaries with these people, the paparazzi and everything. There's just got to be more boundaries set." Uh, you're pimping out your young teens, so, pot, meet the kettle!

The fact that Ali wants to "be just like Lindsay" should be a wake up call for Dina, considering Lindsay has been in rehab 23 times or something to that effect. Be careful what you wish for!

Good luck messing up your other children Dina, I'm sure you'll do a bang up job.

Dina and ~~Meal Ticket Number Two~~ Ali Lohan

I thought it was a joke when I heard that Dina Lohan had been nominated for some sort of Mom Of The Year award, or that maybe that 'Mom' in that case was a misspelling of or code for 'Pimp,' but apparently not. Dina did, in fact, win an award for being one of the Top 20 Moms in Long Island by the "Mingling Moms of Long Island."

But the joke doesn't end there.

Dina, high on the approval of some subset of the population on Long Island, has begun dishing parenting advice. The first mom that she's helping? Tish Cyrus.

Her advice to Tish on parenting a young celeb: "Stay strong and keep your head up. And she's talented [Miley] and stay focused." And, also: "You know, and be her mom."

Because, you know, that's exactly what Dina does - be the mom. Be the party-facilitating, camera-inviting, famewhoring, pimptastic momager mom, and everything will be fine, FINE. Your daughter will pose semi-nude for magazines (check) and go to rehab and maybe steal the odd fur coat or two - but she'll be FAMOUS. And she'll thank you for that, for reals.

JLo Voted "Celebrity Mom of the Year!"

Sassy Smith — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:37:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez, 38, was recently named Celebrity Mom of the Year by New York's Mingling Moms org. The same organization that gave Dina Lohan a simialar title to. Not sure if I'd call that a compliment. Anyway, why was JLo chosen?

Lopez gave birth to twins - Max and Emme - back in February and because she gave birth at a Long Island hospital and has decided to raise her babies in the local neighborhood, Mingling Moms felt she was a perfect canidate.

The president of Mingling Moms Erica Logiudice said, "We thought assembling such a list would be a great tribute to the women who were behind the scenes of these superstars' tremendous careers."

Others honored on the Long Island's Top 20 Celebrity Moms category included: Alec Baldwin's mom Carol, Mariah Carey's mother Patricia Vian and Eddie Murphy's mother Lillian Robinson.

Oh one other thing - Dina Lohan gave some advice when accepting her award - pay attention, it's rich coming from her: "Just to be honest and to stay morally correct. And listen to your mother." Right. Good one Dina.

Congrats to Jennifer!

The Joys of Motherhood - Celebrity Moms Speak Out

Sassy Smith — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:06:00 GMT

Having a child changes your life and for famous parents it's no different. Here's what a few celebumoms had to say about motherhood and what it means to them:

Kate Hudson, mom to son Ryder Russell, 4:

"I'm very impatient. I like to get things done. I move fast. Patience has been something he's teaching me. Your children teach you so much. It's a real mirror of yourself. You recognize the things you do directly affect your children. It hopefully allows you to be more conscious of them and yourself and your actions. When you have kids, it goes so fast. I felt like I was pregnant last weekend, but he's 4 and he's talking and he's gathering his ideas and learning who he is. It's so easy to step in and fix things and make everything right, but you have to let him figure things out on his own. That's one of my favorite things to do, to watch how they treat other kids and how they observe other people. Your life becomes about your children. I wake up every morning and I hear his voice, and that's my favorite thing in the world. There's nothing like it."

Salma Hayek, 41, gave birth to Valentina last year:

"You learn so much. Listen to her. She's in the background. Do you hear that strange noise she makes (like a purr, or a rolled r)? It's the French in her. (Dad is businessman François-Henri Pinault.) It's hilarious. What I learned as a mother is that I have a strong love for things. But the quality of your love gets jaded over the years as you get beat up. What motherhood did to me, when she was born, the amount of love that started pouring out of me was completely pure. Anything anyone ever did to me was erased by this energy. I relearned how to love everything around me, too. My baby is the best thing that has happened to me in my life. It's the most amazing thing."

Actress Thandie Newton, 35, is mom to Ripley,7, Nico,3:

"I've learned the value of stripping it down to the basics: love, respect, compassion, stillness, to be interested, to be able to absorb the moment. I remember the first time Ripley saw her shadow. My god. It was like shadows had just been invented. It was the most exquisite moment. And it was just dish to me. To actively attempt to be a good mother is basically attempting to be a good person. I never look at my kids and feel that they're mine. I am their caretaker. They own the joint. It's a privilege to be able to take care of them. With my first daughter, I remember waking up and thinking, 'My god, I get to be her mum again today. Wow. It's amazing.' They just take my breath away. All I do is serve themselves back to themselves. My job is just to provide a secure environment where they can just be themselves. It's the cycle that keeps going forward. You give to them, so they can give to their kids. You have to be delighted by that."

Helen Hunt, 44, has a 3-year-old daughter, Makena:

"It gives me real motivation to try and be the person I want to be. You tell them to be patient. But they'll do what you do and not what to say. If I want her to be relaxed, I have to be relaxed. Or at least try as hard as I can to seem relaxed. If I want her to be patient, I have to be patient. If I want her to be kind, I have to be kind. I have a deep wish for her to be happy and serene, and it makes me want to do everything I can to be happy and serene."

First-time mom Nicole Richie, daughter Harlow, 4-months:

"Everything I do is for her [Harlow]. My whole life revolves around her and I absolutely love it. I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant... and it's been nothing but an amazing ride since." Nicole would also like to expand her family soon. "I want five children. Twin boys and three girls. I've wanted that since I was a little girl."

Actress Sigourney Weaver,58, mom to Charlotte,18:

"It's a very humbling experience. Parenting has changed and evolved so much since I was parented. Parents enjoy their kids much more. It's just fun. It's a potentially blossoming time, because you have to be everything. You have to be a great storyteller. You have to be very organized, very supportive and still. You can't believe you have this without a license, without any training. You learn as you go. You're getting to know your child, who is a complete individual at birth, and you spend years getting to know who that person is and making sure that person is as supported as possible."

Dina Lohan: Mother of the Year?

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:35:00 GMT

My first thought when I saw this: Was she up against a woman who drowned puppies? How could Lohan, who parties with her alcoholic daughter and is pimping out her other kid in a reality show, actually be chosen mother of the year? Were the votes tallied in Florida?

Then I read that she was selected by Mingling Moms, a Long Island organization, whose spokesperson says, “It’s something for Mother’s Day. It’s a list of mothers from Long Island who have raised superstar children.” Okay then.

So step it up, all you slacker moms in Long Island who didn't raise superstar children! Your silly 'quality time' and heart-to-hearts aren't going to get you any votes from Mingling Moms. Time to knock back a few with your kid at Hyde and get little Susie an agent.

George Clooney Hates Kids. Yes, Yours Too.

HerBadMother — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:30:00 GMT

George Clooney on why he'll never have children, no matter how many Vegas waitresses ovulate at him:

"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year. If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angie and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy."

How big is his villa? 30, 40 thousand square feet? I would forget that I had a kid entirely if we had that space. So if the mere presence of Brangie's brood - which, even at the half-dozen count, would disappear entirely in his mega-villa - reminds him of why he's so happy to not be a sperminator, well... he sure don't like kids.
