Kimora Lee's Baby Gets A Name

Josh loposer — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Kimora Lee and boyfriend Djimon Hounsou's son, born early Saturday, now has a name, according to Kimora's Twitter page. It's Kenzo Lee Hounsou.

Kenzo is Kimora's third child -- the other two were with ex Russell Simmons -- and Djimon's first child. Congratulations guys.

The Phat Fashions CEO promises to send baby pics just as soon as she can. Coming up with a name for you newborn should probably take priority over sending baby pics out to the media and your followers on Twitter.

Now that the name's out of the way though, maybe it's time for some family photos? She did send out a pic of herself in the hospital bed.

Kimora's other two daughters, Ming Lee, 9, and Aoki, 6, must be excited about having a new brother. Congrats, guys.

Teri Hatcher Likes to Gamble, Says It's to Teach Her Daughter Math

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher likes to hit the track every once in a while, but don't think she's just throwing her money away. Hatcher says she uses the outing to help daughter Emerson Rose, 11, with her math skills.

"I go to the track with my mother and my daughter,’ the actress says of her annual Mother's Day outing with Emerson and her own mom, Esther. ‘I do use the opportunity to make [Emerson] understand math, and what you’re betting and what you get back. This year, she did all the winning.

"I gave her a certain amount of dollar bills and she knew she had to divide them up by how many races there were, and figure out the odds…I made myself believe I was giving her math lessons. So we work on math. It’s fun."

I don't blame Teri - us moms have to get creative to justify our personal time. For example, I use my daily Starbucks runs to teach my daughters about caffeine addiction, and how to hone their people skills. You won't get that extra shot of espresso for free if you're mean to the barista.

Kate Gosselin Bikini Pics: Why?

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Hey look - it's another picture of Kate Gosselin in a bikini. The mother of eight hasn't been shy about flaunting her bod on the beach lately and why not - when your husband is out drinking and shopping with other women a girl's got a right to display the goods. Besides, I hear bodyguards really dig two-pieces.

Also, it could have something to do with the news that the number of viewers of Monday's episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 dropped significantly; on Kate's latest beach outing she was accompanied by a camera crew for her TLC reality show. Nothing like showing a little skin to bring the viewers back.

Kathie Lee Has Advice For The Gosselins

Josh loposer — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GMT

On Monday's edition of the Today Show, Kathie Lee Gifford offered up some backhanded advice for Jon & Kate: Get the heck off my TV!

Actually, that's what tons of Americans were thinking. What Kathie actually meant was to stop doing their ridiculously popular show and try to pick up the pieces.

"I would turn off the cameras if I were them and just work on healing together as a family. Who knows the long-term damage something like this could do?," Gifford suggests.

"I understand they are making a living, but you have to wonder at what price."

Sure Kathie, they'll just turn off the cameras, break contract and lose a ton of money ... that's really going to solve a lot of freaking problems for the Gosselins.

The truth is, if even a few of the cheating rumors are true, the marriage is probably doomed (as it appears to be) and the best thing Jon & Kate can do is to keep milking their franchise until it runs dry. I mean, 8 kids, six will be going to college at exactly the same time ... the money will come in handy.

Guess it's been awhile since Kathie had to worry about her finances.

Brad Pitt's Secret B.O. Killer: Baby Wipes

Josh loposer — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:00:00 GMT

Being a parent teaches you all sorts of life lessons - not just how to change a diaper. For Brad Pitt, fatherhood has taught him how to MacGyver his way out of embarrassing body odor.

Here's what Brad shared with Eli Roth during filming for Tarantino's Inglorius Basterds:

"He shared that when you're sweating and don't have time to take a shower, you just take a baby wipe and rub it under your armpits," Pitt's costar and pal Eli Roth told PEOPLE at Saturday's Spike TV Guys Choice 2009 in Los Angeles, set to air on the cable network June 21 at 10 p.m.

"After a scene, Brad had to get next to me for a close-up shot, and he said, 'Damn, you're ripe,' " recalls Roth, 37. "I said, 'I didn’t have time to shower.' He said, 'Baby wipes, man, baby wipes.' "

When it came to Pitt's pits, Roth said the leading man explained, "I got six kids. All you've got to do is just take them, a couple quick wipes under the pits." Pitt further said, "Man, I'm getting [peed] on all day. I don't have time to take a shower."

Nice tip, huh? I'm considering forgoing showers completely and opting for a few cases of baby wipes. OK, not really.

Still, this priceless piece of fathering advice should definitely be put in a book along with tons of other hacks for making fatherhood simpler for dudes. The probelm is, no dudes would probably read it -- unless you filled it with how-to illustrations of hot bikini babes.

Britney Brings Kids Along For NC-17 Tour?

Josh loposer — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:30:00 GMT

If the performances on the UK leg of Britney's Circus tour are titillating, then the after parties are downright X-rated. Topless burlesque dancers, naked acrobats, and dancing dwarves are all reportedly part of the act.

Hold up ... isn't this the tour that Britney threatened to cancel if her kids couldn't come along?

That's right, back in February Britney was demanding that Sean Preston and Jayden James had to be on the bus with her. I'm guessing they're probably not invited to the after parties - all things considered, they probably shouldn't even be allowed at the shows.

So far, the Circus tour has been absolutely filled with weird, embarrassing mishaps for Britney, see here, here, and here.

Here's the big question, can nanny K-Fed keep himself away from the debauchery, or will he end up blowing the money Britney pays him to be the nanny on hiring a sitter so he can check out the dancing dwarves??? That's a tough call.

Is Angelina Jolie Faking It?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:05:00 GMT

It was the bump heard 'round the world: Angelina Jolie suffered a head injury on Friday while performing a stunt on the set of her film Salt. But was the whole thing just a publicity stunt? A production assistant on the set says Angie definitely needs to have her head examined, but not for a physical injury.

According to the source, the actress' 'injury' was really just a way to get attention and publicity. “She hit her head lightly and there was no scratch evident,” the production assistant says. "There was absolutely no reason to take her to the hospital. She was whisked away as if she had just been shot. Everybody on the set thought this was a scene being filmed for the movie."

So why would she need any more attention - she's Angelina Jolie for crying out loud. Brad has been in the press frequently, often seen shuttling the couple's six kids around Long Island while mom is busy filming, so maybe it was Angie's way of getting back in the spotlight? Maybe Brad gave her a really crappy Mother's Day gift and this was her way of making him feel sorry for her? Perhaps she just wanted a little R&R and the idea of being away from the kids in a hospital bed with a 24-hour nurse sounded really good?

Or maybe she really did injure herself and those of us who doubt her are in for some really bad karma?

Get a Room: Halle Berry and Jamie Foxx Heat Up The Spike TV Awards (PHOTOS)

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:12:00 GMT

Halle Berry, you've just been given the Decade of Hotness award by Spike TV - what are you going to do now? She didn't go to Disneyland, I can tell you that much. After Jamie Foxx presented Halle with the award, the two of them proceeded to make out like a couple of teenagers in heat. A couple of unbelievably gorgeous, wildly rich teenagers in heat.

The two locked lips and then starting groping each other; first Jamie grabbed Halle's ass, and then Halle grabbed Jamie's package. Wow - and I thought Bruno's bare butt-cheeks were the hottest thing I'd ever seen on an awards show.

I wonder if Halle's daughter Nahla was watching? If not, someday she'll be able to Google these photos. Then, Halle can just tell her that Mommy was grabbing Uncle Jamie down there because she was looking for that pack of gum in his pocket.

Here's the photos. Try not to drool on your keyboard.

Confirmed: Bruno's Assault On Eminem Was Staged!

Josh loposer — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:35:00 GMT

In case you hadn't figured it out by now, Sacha Cohen will not be charged with aggravated assault for his "accidental" teabagging of Eminem at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards - it was all staged and rehearsed.

Comedy writer Scott Auckerman of Mr. Show with Bob and David fame has come clean so that the rest of humanity can now go about the rest of their lives. From his blog:

"Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!"

Keep in mind, those last words were his, not mine.

So, to answer the question, what did Cohen's daughter Olive think about all this, I have to wonder. Is it better to explain to your 20 month-old daughter: daddy accidentally teabagged Mr. Eminem, OR daddy stuck his butt in that man's face on purpose because it's funny?

Christian Bale's Wife Doesn't Put Up With His Moods

trix — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:02:00 GMT

I would love to be on the wall in the Bale household when Christian got in to a mood and his wife told him to stuff it. Ah yes, that would be awesome.

Christian Bale described his wife as “strong” and ‘feisty” and said said she, “doesn’t take any nonsense”. It seems that in real life, movie stars are just like us regular folk and don’t get away with everything, in the presence of the ones that love us.

He also said she enjoys the characters he brings home. “My attitude does change at home, depending on which character I’m playing, but Sibi likes that. She thinks it’s quite cool. You can look at it in two ways. You can think, ‘That poor woman, forced to put up with that.’ Or, ‘What an incredibly lucky woman, who gets to be with all these different, guys all the time.’”

I’m guessing she thinks the latter.

He says he brings his work home with him, but does it confuse his daughter? He didn’t address that issue, but I bet he’s always the same with her, no matter what character he’s playing at the moment. He’s always daddy to her.

Kelly Rutherford - Any Day Now

trix — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Good thing Gossip Girl is finished filming, because Kelly Rutherford says she could give birth any day now.

Granted, she’s due next weekend, but feels her time is imminent.

How has she spent this pregnancy, did she exercise and watch every morsel she put in her mouth?

In a word, no. She says she and her mother have been having a grand old time buying girls clothes and, “I haven’t exercised once this time. I am so bad. I am like the worst example. I run around after [Hermes] all day and play. We end up going on play dates or in the pool or something. I think I am just so much more active being the mother of a two-year-old.”

She also says she’s craving a lot of frozen things, like Pinkberry.

Here’s hoping our crazy weather holds in Southern California for a few more days. It’s not super hot yet, which is a good thing when you are 9 months pregnant.

We’ll let you know as soon as we hear anything. . .

Kate Hudson is Running Scared

trix — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:44:00 GMT

Kate Hudson attended the Veuve Clicquot's Polo Classic on Saturday and oops, so did Madonna. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but Kate's dating Madonna's leftovers and she's afraid Madonna is mad.

I'm guessing Kate doesn't like confrontation.

The NY Daily News reported:

"Kate was completely intimidated by Madonna," said one guest. "She clearly didn't want trouble and decided to keep a low profile for the rest of the match." Said a second guest, "I didn't even see Kate Hudson again after Madonna arrived. She ran away! But if I were dating Madonna's ex, I'd be scared, too!"

While Hudson hung out in the back of the tent, Madonna rocked her royal status. After showing up in a black Mercedes-Benz with several NYPD escorts, she held court with boy toy Jesus Luz, her kids Rocco Ritchie and David Banda, as well as pals Marc Jacobs, Lorenzo Martone and photographer Steven Klein.

"Madonna literally didn't care," said a third eyewitness.
"She showed up with no makeup, a dowdy [denim] outfit and her hair pulled up in a ponytail. She doesn't need to compete with Kate, because she will always be Queen Bee."

I'm not sure why Kate was scared of her, Madonna has Jesus, she couldn't care less if Kate is dating A-Rod. She probably realized the he is loonier than she is and didn't want to compete for the crazy.

Would you run if Madonna was after you?

Nicole Kidman Planning A Vietnam Adoption?

trix — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:32:00 GMT

Nicole Kidman may be telling the truth about not being pregnant. However, she still may be expecting another child.

There is a new rumor that she and her hubby Keith Urban are interested in adopting a Vietnamese baby. There is also confirmation of the rumor from a deputy of the Department of International Adoption.

I didn't know they were allowed to give out information like that.

If they are planning to adopt, they must be super excited, but a little stressed out. Nicole has gone through the adoption before, so she knows how nerve racking it can be.

Congrats to the couple! Here's hoping Sunday gets a sibling, sooner rather than later.

Tina Fey Takes Her Daughter to Work

Tina Fey was spotted taking daughter Alice, 3, to the movies in Santa Monica on Saturday. For a writer and producer like Tina, I guess this could be considered Take Your Daughter to Work Day. At least that's what I call it when I invite my daughters to sit in my office and watch me blog.

I just read that Tina and Robert Downey, Jr. are going to voice characters in a movie for Dreamworks. Titled Oobermind, the movie stars Downey as "a supervillain who pines for the good old days after finally defeating his arch nemesis." It doesn't say what part Tina would play, but I'll bet it's the Gwyneth-Paltrow-Iron-Man-Secretary part. Too bad - Tina would kick ass as the arch nemesis.

Jennifer Hudson is Pregnant and Showered

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:15:00 GMT

Jennifer Hudson is finally confirming that she is pregnant! And what an appropriate way to announce the big news - she released details about her baby shower. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the mom-to-be was showered over the weekend at a small gathering held in a relatives home in downtown Chicago. Hudson is engaged to Harvard-educated-lawyer-turned-wrestler David Otunga.

"It was a baby shower, a quiet gathering of friends and mostly family," said Felicia Fields, a longtime friend of the actress. "They're really trying to keep it kind of quiet. It was a nice time that we had."

When asked about the gender of the baby, Fields replied, "They don't know."

Hudson certainly deserves some good news in her life; seven months ago her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were murdered.

The actress, 27, has declined to divulge any details about her upcoming wedding to Otunga, but she did tell USA Today that it will be "traditional, and very, very classy. I'll be surrounded by family and friends. I hope that when I'm 80 years old, people will still be talking about my wedding."

In an interview with Access Hollywood earlier this year, the actress also said she plans to include her three dogs - Oscar, Grammy and Dreamgirl -- in the ceremony. "Oscar might be the ring bearer. We'll send them down the aisle with a little tux."

Sending out congratulations to the parents-to-be!

Peter Andre Wants Out - Quickie Divorce in the Works

trix — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:31:00 GMT

Peter Andre wants out of his marriage to Katie Price/Jordan so bad, that he's asking for a quickie divorce.

The more information/speculation that comes out regarding the couple's relationship, the faster he wants out. He said, "There is no way I'm getting back with Kate. I wouldn't be putting my children through this hell if I wasn't serious. I want a divorce - and I want it to be as amicable as possible so we can all get on with our lives."

Good, I was hoping they weren't doing it for the publicity. He actually wants the divorce to go as smooth as possible. He doesn't want the children to be more traumatized than they already are. A source said, "Peter only cares about the welfare of his children, he wants the resolution for the sake of the children."

Poor kiddies, divorce is hard on everyone involved, especially hard on those that don't understand what's going on.

P.S. Don't they look like a cake topper?

Bruno Assaults Eminem at MTV Movie Awards (VIDEO)

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 05:17:00 GMT

The big news at the MTV Movie Awards tonight wasn't who won a Golden Popcorn trophy, but what was up with that incident between Eminem and Sacha Baron Cohen? Cohen, dressed in wings and feathers as Bruno, his flamboyantly gay character, flew over the audience at the Universal Amphitheater before presenting the award for Best Male Performance. The guy's got balls, and apparently wanted to show them to Eminem.

After a short flight he landed in Eminem's lap, with his bare buttocks right in the rapper's face.

A visibly upset Emimen yelled, "Are you serious? Get the ****** off me!" to which Cohen replied, "Nice to meet you."

A short scuffle ensued as the rapper's bodyguards attempted to pull Cohen off of him, and he yelled, "Hey, don't touch me! I've already got a boyfriend!"

Once Cohen was pulled off, Eminem stormed out of the theater followed by his bodyguards.

MTV Shows

I wonder if Cohen's daughter Olive was watching the whole spectacle? While I'm sure it was disturbing to see your dad's butt mere inches away from a strange man's snarling face, maybe it was cool to see him dressed like an angel and flying over everyone's heads. Daddy's funny!

Halle Berry and Daughter Nahla Start The Day Off Right

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 31 May 2009 19:05:00 GMT

Halle Berry and daughter Nahla were snapped after having breakfast at the Griddle Cafe in West Hollywood. When my kids were babies, I remember breakfast being my favorite meal to take them out to. They were usually well rested and unlikely to have a meltdown. Also, that early in the day there was only coffee, and no expensive martinis for them to knock over. Most of the time.

Speaking of eating, Berry has said that one of the best parts of being pregnant was having a lot of the media spotlight off of her figure. “It was the first red carpet that I’ve really walked down where I didn’t have to think about holding in my stomach," she said of last year's Palm Springs International Film Festival. "It’s the first time I’ve been to an awards show where they served a meal and I actually ate it. I was eating off everybody else’s plate and that felt very liberating and good.”

Melissa Joan Hart Has a Fondness for Jelly Bellies and Nerds

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 31 May 2009 18:05:00 GMT

But only the ones she sells in her candy store. The actress celebrated the grand opening of her own sweet shop in Los Angeles on Saturday, along with husband Mark Wilkerson, 32, lead singer for the band Course of Nature, and their sons Mason, 3, and Braydon, 14 months. I'll go ahead and state the obvious - they were like kids in a candy store!

Hart says the store is the culmination of a life-long goal. "It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid," she says of the idea she came up with together with mom Paula Hart. "I'm so excited to start this next adventure in my life." The star of Sabrina the Teenage Witch had friends Kellie Martin, Soleil Moon Frye and Jaime Pressly at the opening to start her on her way.

The store, cleverly named SweetHarts, features 200 different kinds of candy including Big League Chew, Jelly Bellies, Candy Lipstick, Nerds, Junior Mints and Bubble Tape gum.
They'll also sell frozen yogurt in flavors such as peach and bubble gum. "I love all the different candy because they remind me of my childhood," says Hart as she served up yogurt from behind the counter. "I can't wait for my kids to have their birthday parties here."

My teeth hurt just thinking about it. Which means I need to head on over there right away.

Heidi Klum Gets Daughter Leni an Expensive 'Do

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:35:00 GMT

Heidi Klum took daughter Leni to posh children's salon Tipperary in Beverly Hills this weekend. The place is great for maybe catching a glimpse of celebrities and their kids, but I think it's a little pricey for kids' haircuts. What's wrong with a good pair of scissors and a bowl, is what I say.

Klum and husband Seal are expecting their fourth child, a girl, later this year. That's a lot dough to drop for all those kids' haircuts at Tipperary. Then again, Klum was just named No. 2 on Forbes' list of the World's Top Earning Models, so I guess a few bucks more for a five-year-olds pixie cut isn't going to faze her.

But if you get tired of paying those prices, Heidi, I'll be waiting here with a clean chair and a sharp pair of scissors.

Reese Witherspoon and Daughter Ava Get Batty

Reese Witherspoon and her mini-me, daughter Ava, got in some batting practice together at an LA baseball field. It's amazing how much Ava looks like her mom - sign that girl up for Legally Blonde 3!

I'm thinking Reese was probably practicing for her upcoming role as a professional softball player in James Brooks' new movie. She has supposedly thrown herself into a demanding exercise regime, honing her softball skills and running rigorous drills.

The untitled comedy – which is going by the working title How Do You Know? – involves a love triangle between a white collar executive, played by Paul Rudd, Reese's character and a professional baseball pitcher played by Owen Wilson. Twenty-dollars says Kate Hudson will manage to insert herself in there somewhere.

Kate Winslet and Her Kids Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Kate Winslet was out with her kids Mia, 8, and Joe, 5, in New York City today. Looks like a not-so-glamorous part of the city - not a boutique or panini café in sight. I think for celebrities this is known as 'roughing it.'

Winslet recently fought back at tabloid reports that accused her of spending too much time away from her kids while filming. "Who the hell is going to go and leave their children for five months? Obviously not me. I would never leave my children for five months, no matter whether they're five, 15, or 55."

I'm with you on the five and 15 part, Kate, but I think by the time mine are 55 I might let them steal away for five months or even a year. Maybe.

Uma Thurman Adores Pierce Brosnan and Her Son Levon

Uma Thurman and her son Levon, 7, were snapped in New York the other day. It's obvious that Thurman is full of love and admiration for her son. And like a typical male, Levon looks the other way, pretending not to notice.

Thurman is also full of love and admiration for Pierce Brosnan, who rescued the actress from a runaway van recently while they were filming their movie Percy Jackson. A source tells the Sydney Morning Herald, "No one was aboard the runaway van as it barreled towards a grassy area where Uma was relaxing with cast and crew. Pierce yelled, 'Get out of the way!' He raced after the van, wrenched open the driver's side door, jumped in and slammed on the brakes."

Wow. Brosnan's heroics remind me of that other guy - what was his name? Oh yeah - Bond. James Bond.

The Killers Are Reproducing: Brandon Flowers Expecting Baby No. 2

The Killers singer and keyboardist Brandon Flowers and his wife Tana are getting ready for their second child. The couple also have a son, Ammon, who was born in July of '07.

Flowers, who along with his band members are known for their flamboyant outfits and stage shows, recently credited Elton John for The Killers' success."We wouldn't be here if it weren't for Elton John!" Flowers said in an interview with Elle UK. "Coming from very ordinary backgrounds, the glamour was an exciting thing when we started out. It still is.

"It just seems natural for us to be drawn to ostentation. Putting on a suit, a little make-up... it feels the right thing to do."

The Killers, whose current album is Day & Age, are scheduled to headline Lollapalooza in August.

Congratulations to the expectant parents!
