Alec Baldwin's Ireland Dreams Big

trix — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland wants to be a veterinarian. She's straying from the business and uncle Daniel's not very happy about it.

That's a very noble choice of profession, she's very passionate about animals and doesn't have any desire to pursue acting. Her uncle Daniel thinks he knows what's best for her and wants her to embrace her acting heritage.

He says the world is her oyster and that she is very bright. If he believes that, then why wouldn't he want her to do what she really loves, especially if it's something that has the potential to do so much good.

Michael Sheen has a Casual Custody Agreement

Karl Erikson — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:37:00 GMT

Michael Sheen, 39-year-old Welsh actor and dad to 9-year-old Lily with ex Kate Beckinsale, told OK! magazine about their custody agreement. "It's very relaxed and informal. We don't work anything out too much. It's up to Lily a lot of the time. When she gets bored of me, she goes to Kate, and when she gets bored of Kate, she comes to me."

Star of movies such as "Underworld" and "The Queen," Michael says that Lily's been bitten by the acting bug. "She's rehearsing Mamma Mia in her drama class. She's very excited about that." Personally, though, he hopes she doesn't become an actress.

"I hope she's going to be a writer. She's a very good writer."

It's Official: Peter Cook is Still An A**hole

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:05:00 GMT

You've got to hand it to Peter Cook. Just when you thought he had sunk to his lowest by having an affair with a teenager that broke up his marriage to Christie Brinkley, he tops himself by going on national TV and blaming the affair on...Christie Brinkley.

In an interview with Barbara Walters on 20/20 that will air Friday, Cook says, "I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage. I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner... I think I just suddenly realized when I was getting attention from someone else that this is something that is missing in my life. Nothing like getting sex from your 19-year-old hot assistant to make you realize what is missing in your life!

Unfortunately he continues on trying to gain our sympathy. "Just the tremendous amount of work I was putting into my family... my world became her world," he went on. "It had to be that way... there came a time when I pulled up the driveway to the home that I found, that I built, that I lived in, and I felt like I was a guest in someone else's life."

In a tersely worded statement Brinkley's attorney responded to news of the interview. "It is a measure of Peter Cook's character that he has breached the confidentiality agreement that is in the divorce settlement and has sought to present this distorted one sided view of his marriage.

"Mr. Cook had his days in court, testified on his own behalf and ultimately agreed with the view of the children’s court appointed attorney and psychiatrist that the children should live principally with their mother and that she should be the sole custodial parent."

Alec Baldwin Reconciles With Kim Basinger!?!

trix — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:31:00 GMT

Alec Baldwin would probably poke my eyes out for even suggesting a reconciliation would ever happen, considering how much he still despises Kim Basinger. Good thing he doesn't know me from Eve!

He actually talked a little about her in an upcoming interview with The New Yorker.

It's apparent to the rest of us that read about what happened when they split up, the fights, the name calling, and the screaming at each other that they both were at fault for the split. However, this was his interview, so it was his side of things that we read about.

He say's that though they have been apart for years Kim still tries to turn his daughter from him all the time. "Parental alienation is about people who narcissistically project their whole reality onto a child: 'I don't need you, so the child doesn't need you.' The goal of the alienating parent is to kill contiguous time. People need reliability. They need regularity. And I've been the victim of a campaign to kill all that. You wind up being more an uncle than a father."

I feel for him, I feel for her, I couldn't imagine being a part time parent it must be so difficult. I think I would die a little every day that my kids were away.

P.S. I love "30 Rock".

Christie Brinkley Fab At The Big 5-4!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:39:00 GMT

Christie Brinkley, famous supermodel, mom to three kids, many times married and divorced and yet the woman still looks fab at 54! Brinkley recently posed for New York mag and was described as having hair that "is thick and golden, her skin is tanned but only just. Her teeth are gleaming, her waist is narrow." Fifty-four ain't so bad....

Christie gives a glimpse about growing up to become one of the world's top models:

Her days in Paris:

“You have to understand. that I came to France to be so bohemian. It was all”–and here Brinkley does an elaborate Pepé Le Pew accent–”How can you mo-dell. Is so bourgeois.”

Her non-exotic looks:

“I was basically a surfer girl from California. I never looked like a model. Models were thin, and they were very sophisticated, and their poses were kind of like–hoity.”

Avoiding the world of drugs in the 80's:

“I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and I always wanted my body to be healthy for those kids. And besides, it felt disrespectful to my parents.”

On John Edwards' affair:

“Devastating. Devastating. I’ve met him, and I’ve met his lovely wife, and this is devastating news. But I don’t want to go there!”

Christie is newly single after a messy, painful divorce from Peter Cook. She has three children, Alexa Ray 22, (dad is Billy Joel), Jack Paris, 13, (dad is Richard Taubman but later adopted by Peter Cook), and Sailor Lee, 10, (dad is Peter Cook).

Heather Mills' Publicist Comes To Her Senses

Heather Mills alienated half the world when she got shared custody of daughter Beatrice and a crapload of money from Paul McCartney in their divorce and custody dispute. Now she's working on the other half: Michele Elyzabeth, Mills' U.S. rep, quit and has released a statement calling the activist "impossible."

“After working for Heather Mills for the past four years, I have decided to cease representing her. Since her divorce has become final, in my opinion, Heather has become an impossible person,” Elyzabeth said in a statement released to the media.

“Yesterday, we engaged in a heated argument during which she called me ‘stupid.’” Elyzabeth’s statement continued. “I reminded her that she was not ‘God’ and she answered, ‘I will never ever talk to you again.’”

(Note to Beatrice: Never try to tell mommy she's not God.)

Now apparently Elyzabeth is mad as hell and not going to take it any more. “I have been very patient in my dealings with Heather, however, I cannot take any more,” Elyzabeth wrote. “I have given her substantial unpaid time and attention. I am owed money. I refuse to be subjected to her outbursts. On reflection and given the way I have been treated, I now have sympathy with much of what the British press has reported about her.”

Ouch.

Photos! Who Is Diana Bianchi?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:05:00 GMT

Now that the divorce trial of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook is over (Christie gets the kids) let's find out more about the home wrecker who started it all. While she has played herself as a victim who fell under the spell of Cook's wily ways, others are calling her a skanky, goldigging opportunist . Okay, those are my words, but I'm sure it's what everyone is thinking.

Not much is known about Bianchi (who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page) but this much we know: Bianchi was a 17-year-old aspiring singer working in a Southampton toy store when she met Cook. The slimebag offered her a job as his assistant for his architectural firm (no pun intended) and promised to double her salary.

According to Bianchi, the next thing she knew she was naked on his desk. In a 2006 interview she tells how the affair began. "He'd make advances verbally towards me first. It just escalated into something I didn't expect. I never expected that he would take it to a different level."

She was paid $20,000 to type magazine articles onto the company's Web site. He also left her cash payments in various spots: $500 under the rock outside his office; more behind a painting.

It was Bianchi's stepfather who broke the news of the affair to Brinkley, moments before the fashion model was about to speak at the Southampton High School graduation.

Inexplicably, Brinkley made a statement during the recent divorce proceedings that she "forgives Bianchi" because she feels the teen was manipulated into the affair.

What do you think - innocent victim who fell prey to a slimy married man, or morally bankrupt teen looking for sex and some extra cash for a new iPod?

Christie Brinkley Awarded Kids As Divorce Settlement Suddenly Ends

Karen — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:33:00 GMT

A week after it begin, the divorce trial between Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook is officially over, and she is getting the kids.

Brinkley has also been awarded all 18 properties in the Hamptons, but has to pay Peter Cook $2.1 million.

The rest of the settlement was made confidential. Brinkley was seen outside the courtroom, hugging her girlfriends and sobbing.

I'm sure she is relieved it's over, but there's a lot of healing ahead for her.

Christie Brinkley Advised To Undergo Therapy For Anger Issues

Karen — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:32:00 GMT

A court-appointed psychiatrist has advised that Christie Brinkley attend therapy as "an outlet for her anger and feeling of betrayal" to deal with the pain of her four failed marriages.

Dr. Stephen Herman took the stand in Brinkley's divorce trial and also advised that Brinkley be awarded sole custody of the couple's two children.

"She needs to start working on therapy issues related to her parenting, maybe her choice in male figures with whom to get involved, certain motivations she has herself that can get her into trouble."

Brinkley agreed to seek therapy. She testified, "I'm not sure that I'm a huge fan of psychotherapy. But if Dr. Herman feels strongly about it, I would do whatever it takes to convince the court that I'm willing to make whatever changes they deem necessary."

He said: "Certainly, the father's behaviour in this marriage has been terribly destructive and apparently continues to be... Brinkley had historically been a more stabilising force in the lives of these children... Joint custody is out of the question."

Both Brinkley and Cook are appealing for sole custody of their two kids Jack 13, and Sailor, 10.

Christie Brinkley Forgives Diana Bianchi, Wants To Hurt Peter Cook

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:05:00 GMT

In case you haven't heard, Christie Brinkley and cheating husband Peter Cook are trying to scratch each other's eyeballs out in a bitter divorce trial. Brinkley decided to divorce Cook after she found out he was having an affair with his then-assistant Diana Bianchi, who was 19 at the time.

But Brinkley says she forgives Bianchi, telling reporters that she feels Bianchi "was manipulated."

"I'd just like to say after two days of testimony that I can't help but think about Diana Bianchi, and I want her and her family to know that I feel really badly for them," said Brinkley. "I feel bad for her and I forgive her completely."

People Magazine is reporting that Bianchi even approached Brinkley's daughter, Alexa Joel, outside the courtroom to apologize.

"Diana said, 'I am sorry for the pain I have caused you and your family,'" a source says. "Alexa then hugged her and said, 'We have all been through a lot.'"

Brinkley isn't so warm and fuzzy when it comes to Cook, though, accusing him of being a chronic philanderer and internet porn addict whose habit reportedly cost the couple $3000 a month.

The court battle is expected to get even more heated when the trial resumes on Monday as the focus shifts to the issue of child custody. Both Brinkley and Cook are seeking sole custody of children Sailor, 10, and Jack, 13.

Dylan McDermott and Shiva Rose Have Irreconcilable Differences

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 21 May 2008 23:05:00 GMT

Dylan McDermott has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Shiva Rose. The couple, who separated in March of 2007, have two daughters, Collette, 12, and Charlotte, 2. Custody will be decided at a later date.

The papers, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, cite the usual 'Irreconcilable Differences' as the reason for the split.

What the hell does that mean? Not to be nosy, but I want some details. Did he leave the toilet seat up too many times? Does she chew with her mouh open? Remember - I ask the uncomfortable questions so you don't have to.

K-Fed: Still Needing That Stylist

HerBadMother — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Apparently, K-Fed has not received any of the messages that I've been sending him about this new look of his. Dude: NOT GOOD.

Seriously. LOSE THE CULOTTES. Also, do something about that hairdo. It looks like a partial-Brazilian gone wrong. And take a shower. You look greasy.

It's bad news when your ex-FIL and grandfather of your children looks a touch more stylin' than you do. Well, cleaner, anyway.

So, yeah, do something about this, will you, K? Thx.

K-Fed's Fighting At 'Daddy' Weight

That's what Shar Jackson says about those crazy pictures of K-Fed sporting a Rodney Dangerfield gut. He's just put on a bit of a daddy-tummy, that's all:

"It's daddy weight!" she told Usmagazine.com. "When you are a full time parent, sometimes you can't focus on you."

"If gaining a few pounds is your only problem, life's not too bad!"

Adds his rep, "He’s a stay-at-home dad, and people tend to gain weight when they are home with the kids. He's very happy with the way he looks.”

Right. I'm thinking that it's not so much 'daddy weight' as it is 'living life of leisure thanks to divorce settlement from mega-famous pop star' weight. But that's just me. And whatever, if he's happy with the way he looks, we're all happy, right? Right?

Wrong. I still think that he needs to burn those culottes. I don't so much care about the gut as I do about the heinous fashion crime against humanity that is those pants. Being a dad is no excuse for pants like that.

Is Larry Birkhead, Like, Totally Gay?

HerBadMother — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:53:00 GMT

Perez Hilton thinks so. He's reporting that Anna Nicole Smith's former bodyguard has more or less confirmed it in an interview with Access Hollywood:

According to Big Moe, Anna told him that due to Birkhead's "lifestyle" there would be no strings attached. "What's his lifestyle?" Access Hollywod's reporter asked. "Well, she told me that, you know, he was a homosexual," Big Moe said. "She knew deep down that he didn't want to be with her."

I'd chalk this up to wishful thinking on Perez's part, but hey - he got the story from Access Hollywood, so.

Either way, who cares? He's not really a catch for either sex. Well, maybe for Perez (oooh, snap!)

Larry's Love Note To Anna Nicole

HerBadMother — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:54:00 GMT

Larry Birkhead has posted a memorial - with a little message from him and Dannielynn - to Anna Nicole over at his website. It's basically a sweet little personal message and, um, the picture shown above.

I don't know. I mean, it's sweet and all to memorialize your dead former lover and mother of your child, but that picture? Just a tad creepy as a death memorial, and all the more so with a toddler's name signed to it.

I mean, couldn't he find a pic that was a little less drugged-up-Playboy-centerfold, and a little bit more, I don't know, wakeful mother?

I know; it's the height (depth) of crass meanness to criticize someone's memorial, but still. I'm a bit creeped out by it. Can't help it. Sorry.

RIP, Anna. RIP.

Anna Nicole Smith: One Year After Her Death

Sassy Smith — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:02:00 GMT

Anna Nicole Smith died one year ago today - and yet, she's still in the headlines, still thought of, obviously by her friends and family, but the general public too.

She was a larger than life icon at times, but was often thought of as being "famous for being famous." She modeled, posed for Playboy, did a few movies, some television shows, was featured in a few music videos, had her own reality TV program, married some really, really old billionaire, was sometimes a trainwreck in the things that she did, battled her weight in the public eye and yet, she still managed to endear people to her.

Perhaps she was a bit misguided at times, sometimes came off like a bit of a nut, but I will say, she was a woman who loved her children dearly. She was predeceased by her son Daniel, who passed away in her hospital room in September of 2006 - just three days after his baby sister, Dannielynn was born.

Most say that Anna Nicole died the day that her son died, or at least her will to really live. She began (or continued) to self medicate and died of "combined drug intoxication."

She left behind her sweet baby Dannielynn, who's father is Larry Birkhead. I hope that Mr. Birkhead gets his act together and stops exploiting his little girl. She will most likely have to endure the public eye when she's grown just because of who her parents are, particularly her mother, so why not let her have a few years without Entertainment Tonight following her?

Rest in peace, Anna, rest in peace.

Hello! Britney Spears is Allowed to Phone Her Kids

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:05:00 GMT

According to court documents released on Monday, Britney Spears is allowed to talk to her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 on the telephone but is still not allowed to see them. Contrary to rumor, that decision had nothing to do with this frightening hairstyle.

Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled at last week's hearing that "(Spears) is to have telephonic contact with the minor children. All prior orders remain in full force and effect."

George Clooney: Get Me The Hell Away From Britney Spears

George Clooney is moving. And it's all because of Britney Spears. The Michael Clayton actor just recently discovered that Spears lives nearby following the media frenzy that surrounded her meltdown last month. "I just found out, like, 10 days ago I must live within 300 or 400 yards from Britney Spears," the 46-year-old actor says. "I found out because I came home at 10 o'clock at night and there were all these helicopters over my house with these lights."

Clooney didn't mention the unsightliness of Brit's used Starbucks cups and empty condom wrappers littering the street, but I'm sure they were a factor in his decision to move.

Britney's Man: Male Enhancement Test Subject

Nothing spells 'romance' like 'male enhancement' test products. And that's probably why Britney is so hot for Adnan! Reportedly Mr. Ghalib is on a test panel for SexHealthReview.com. Yes, a site that tests and/or reviews those said male enhancement products. As in length and girth? Stamina? Performance? All of the above?

I guess this means that Adnan is well "enhanced?" Dang y'all! His profile reads:

"I work in 'the' industry in Los Angeles and I know many of my friends use these products. Thought this would be an interesting opportunity to reveal the truth to many men worldwide."

Sexy stuff! Adnan experiments with his junk trunk and Brit reaps the benefits. She sure knows how to pick 'em!

This is the Oddest Britney Spears Story Ever

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Have you told your children not to talk to strangers? Might want to add, "Do not talk to Britney Spears" onto that. The confused/bipolar/sometimes-British popstar showed up at a Beverly Hills elementary school claiming that she was there to pick up someone else's kids. According to an eyewitness, the "scantily clad" Spears parked her car outside school just before 3pm dismissal and passed the time smoking cigarettes and talking to herself while she waited for school to let out.

The witness, who approached Spears to see if she was okay, said she appeared rambling and confused. “She said, ‘I’m here to pick up my kids.’ But then she changed her story and said, ‘They aren’t my kids; I have a new attorney, and I came to pick them up for her.’”

Adds the witness, “All I could think was, Who in their right mind would let her pick up their kids?”

As news of the popstar's presence spread, some of the kids were "freaked out" and adults quickly directed Spears to a back entrance. After the mystery children never materialized, Brit got in her car to leave but not before making one more bizarre move. She told the female eyewitness, "You’re so nice. You should give me your number. I don’t have very many friends."

This is the saddest story I've read about Spears in a long time. Is anyone going to get this girl some help? After all, she started off stealing cigarette lighters, then moved on to husbands – could stealing kids be far behind?

It Must Be "Love": Britney and Adnan Are Back Together

I guess it's true what they say, "The heart knows what it knows." Either that or Adnan came crawling back because he ran out of quarters for the PacMan machine. Adnan, whose wife just filed for separation, and British girlfriend Britney Spears were spotted Tuesday night in Malibu leaving eatery Taverna Tony's hand-in-hand. They hopped into Britney's white Mercedes and made out as they sped off down Pacific Coast Highway. Wait - is this a real story or an excerpt from a Harlequin Romance?

The lovely couple then continued their date at a Pinkberry, and then reportedly spent Tuesday night holed up in a suite at the Regency Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.

AzLynn Berry filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court today asking for legal separation effective January 18. It's about time.

The couple have been married for four years but Ghalib shrugs the legal maneuver off as no big deal, calling it "...purely procedural. She's had the papers for awhile. This is old."

Ryan Phillipe Hates Jake Gyllenhaal

HerBadMother — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:31:00 GMT

Jake Gyllenhaal is causing some tension between Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon, apparently.

According to Fametastic.com:

Sources close to Ryan have told OK magazine that the Crash star is annoyed by how much time the former couple’s children - eight year old Ava and three year old Deacon - are spending with Jake. The source explained that Deacon is a particular fan of the Brokeback Mountain star and whenever the kids are handed back to Ryan, Deacon can’t stop talking about him: “It’s ‘Jake did this’, ‘Jake brought Mommy flowers and coffee’, ‘Jake says we should recycle’.”

“Ryan called Reese and suggested she stop letting [Jake] spend so much time with the kids. He was pretty irate on the phone.”

“[But] Reese barely let him finish the sentence before she shot back that what she does with her personal life is her business.”

Wow. Which is to say: YAWN.
