After the scare last month, Posh wants to do everything she can to protect her three boys (Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 4) including moving the family out of LA. </p><p><a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/victoria-beckham-earthquake-lessons/">Source</a> | <a href="http://celebrity-babies.com/2009/05/21/victoria-beckhams-american-idol/">Photo </a><br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=207920" width="1" height="1">celebrity momspice girlsVictoria BeckhamDavid BeckhamPoshBecksLos AngelesItalyla galaxycelebrity parentingearthquakeAmerican dreamsafety lessonsNewport-Inglewood FaultJon Gosselin's Extramarital Bed On Ebay!?http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/06/01/jon-gosselin-s-infamous-extra-marital-bed-on-ebay.aspxMon, 01 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:207887Josh loposer2http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=207887http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/06/01/jon-gosselin-s-infamous-extra-marital-bed-on-ebay.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/jon-and-kate-plus-8.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/jon-and-kate-plus-8.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> </p><p><i>Wow</i>, yet another piece of celebrity parenting history might be up for grabs this week. The brother of reality TV star Jon Gosselin's mistress is reportedly <a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/bed-jon-gosselin-cheated-in-for-sale-on-ebay-says-mistress-brother/">selling his sister's infamous bed on eBay</a>.</p><p>Earlier today, it was Nadya Suleman's parents' <a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/06/01/octo-mom-s-parents-house-goes-up-on-the-auction-block.aspx">foreclosed 3 bedroom house</a>. Now, bidders may get a shot at Deanna Hummel's queen mattress. <i>Ewww</i>.</p><p>After schoolteacher Deanna Hummel's brother went public about the alleged affair, she moved out, leaving the bed in her wake. Now, Deanna's opportunistic brother Jason says he's considering an auction to see how much a fan (perhaps in search of DNA evidence) will pay for the piece of trashy tabloid history. </p><p><i><i>“I want to put the bed on eBay,”</i> Jason said this week. “<i>I want to see how much some crazy fan will pay.” </i></i></p><p>The whole thing -- and I mean the situation, the brother, the breakup and of course the mattress -- is really pretty disgusting.</p><p>What's really in store for the Gosselin family circus, it's pretty hard to say. If the tabloids are to be believed, <a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/jon-gosselin-looking-for-an-apartment.aspx">Jon is looking for his own apartment</a> that will accommodate his kids and the TV crew. That should fit this season's theme on <i>Jon & Kate Plus 8</i> -- mediation and almost certain divorce. <i>Sad</i>.  </p><p><a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/bed-jon-gosselin-cheated-in-for-sale-on-ebay-says-mistress-brother/">Source</a> | <a href="http://nil1212.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/jon-and-kate-plus-8-season-finale-hints-at-marriage-problems/">Photo</a> <br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=207887" width="1" height="1">celebrity momgossipjasoncelebrity dadebaycelebrity parentingbrothercheatingaffairtlcbedkate gosselinJon Gosselinjon & kate plus 8Deanna HummelDuchovny And Leoni Renew Vows After Sex Rehabhttp://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/06/01/duchovny-and-leoni-renew-vows-after-sex-rehab.aspxMon, 01 Jun 2009 20:00:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:207810Josh loposer0http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=207810http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/06/01/duchovny-and-leoni-renew-vows-after-sex-rehab.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/duchovny_narrowweb__300x430,0.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/duchovny_narrowweb__300x430,0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> </p><p>Good news for the Duchovny-Leoni family, after a long separation and near certain divorce, it looks like Tea and David have decided to renew their wedding vows or something like that. </p><p>The couple's kiddos Madeline, 10, and Kyd, 6, are not going to have to deal with the emotional fallout of shared custody after all. Apparently, David went all out to rekindle the spark with his estranged wife: </p><p><i>“He dropped to one knee, asked Tea to marry him again and vowed, ‘This time we’ll get it right.’ “</i></p><p>After his admission to rehab for sex addiction -- a disease that I'm still a little clueless about -- it seemed pretty much certain that between the embarrassment and infidelity rumors,the marriage was doomed. So, this is pretty much a complete 180 for the family. </p><p>Congratulations are in order to Tea and David, for re-upping on the old wedding vows! Hope it works out the second time around.</p><p><a href="http://www.celebutopia.net/2009/05/david-duchovny-and-tea-leoni-to-get-married-all-over-again/">Source</a> | <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/entertainment/people/duchovny-and-wife-split/2008/10/16/1223750209068.html">Photo</a>  <br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=207810" width="1" height="1">celebrity momdivorcerehabkidscelebrity dadcustody battlesinfidelitymarriagecelebrity parentingcheatingfamily mandavid duchovnytea leonix filesrenew vowsSarah Palin's Adult Film - Part Deux, Oh Geezhttp://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/sarah-palin-porn-part-deux-oh-geez.aspxFri, 29 May 2009 21:02:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:207302Josh loposer0http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=207302http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/sarah-palin-porn-part-deux-oh-geez.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/nailin-paylin-sarah-palin-porn-parody-sequel.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/nailin-paylin-sarah-palin-porn-parody-sequel.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> </p><p>What's a down-home, Alaskan hockey mom to do when she becomes the subject of not one, but (at least) <i>two</i> porno movies featuring a look-a-like?

Not to mention, other parents joking behind your back at the PTA meetings and hockey games. Once you become a national public figure, your whole family just has to develop thick skin to this type of thing.  </p><p>The second installment of the <i>Nailin' Palin </i>series, entitled <i>Hollywood is Nailin' Palin</i> is set debut later this year -- going straight to DVD of course. Once again, adult star Lisa Ann will play the part of Alaska's conservative governor. The story of <i>Hollywood is Nailin' Palin</i> however, manages to be tons more creative and celebrity savvy. </p><p>Allegedly, the plot picks up just after the governor's bid for the Vice Presidency. After her defeat, she decides to try her luck in Hollywood where she meets (and <i>more</i>, I'm assuming) stars like David Hasselhoff and Samantha Ronson on her way to stardom, including her own reality show <i>America's Top Governor</i>. Ha! </p><p>I love the way Hustler stamped the words "this is a parody," just in case anyone got confused and thought Sarah Palin actually participated in the production.  </p><p><a href="http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2009/05/28/who_s_nailin_palin_2_">Source</a> | <a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/sarah-palin-porn-spoof-sequel-hollywood-is-nailin-paylin/">Photo</a> <br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=207302" width="1" height="1">celebrity momDavid Hasselhoffcelebrity parentingptagovernorSamantha Ronsonparodyjohn mccainlevialaskasarah palinbristolfamous motherstodd palinhockey momLisa AnnHollywood is Nailin’ PalinHustler FilmsWho’s Nailin’ PalinJon Gosselin Looking For An Apartment?http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/jon-gosselin-looking-for-an-apartment.aspxFri, 29 May 2009 19:00:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:207285Josh loposer4http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=207285http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/jon-gosselin-looking-for-an-apartment.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/44093371.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/44093371.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> </p><p>Word has it that Jon is out hunting for a bachelor pad with TLC producers. His criteria: room for the kids, space for the camera crew ... oh yeah, and <i>no Kate</i>. </p><p>From <i>In Touch</i>: <i>“Producers have begun looking for apartments that are camera-crew friendly so that Jon can move out (whether he wants to or not),”</i> <br /></p><p>TLC might not be savviest of networks, but they know a cash cow when they see one -- and they're not turning loose until they've squeezed every bit of publicity and ratings out of Jon & Kate Plus 8 -- even though the marriage appears to be clearly over. Unfortunately for the "plus 8," according to the <i>National Enquirer</i>, the divorce is all but final between the couple of 10 years. </p><blockquote><p><i>Now with their marriage in shambles, both Jon and Kate are scrambling to find divorce lawyers, according to a family insider.</i></p> <p><i>“Jon said their goal is to be legally separated by July 15 because Kate wants to move on quickly,” the insider told The Enquirer.</i></p> <p><i>“They haven’t yet said anything to the kids, but they have agreed to joint custody - and that’s about all they’ve agreed to.</i></p> <p><i>“Jon is going to push for half of their money, but Kate is determined to hang on to as much as she can - and they’re worth more than you think…</i></p> <p><i>There’s a small fortune at stake here - easily $10 million.”</i></p></blockquote><p> Will it ruin the show if Jon and Kate no longer live in the same house? How's that going to work? </p><p>I could see some potential for interesting custody drama and ratings boosting fights between J&K.  </p><p><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/53172/jon_divorce_imminent/">Source</a> | <a href="http://www.zap2it.com/search/zap-photo-underrated08_jongosselin_pg,0,680019.photo">Photo</a> <br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=207285" width="1" height="1">celebrity momdivorcecelebrity dadrumorscelebrity parentingcheatingapartmenttlckate gosselinsextupletsJon Gosselinjon & kate plus 8Deanna Hummelhouse huntingschool teachercamera crewAngelina Is Pregnant, Doesn't Know Who The Father Ishttp://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/angelina-is-pregnant-doesn-t-know-who-the-father-is.aspxFri, 29 May 2009 14:30:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:207114Josh loposer0http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=207114http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/29/angelina-is-pregnant-doesn-t-know-who-the-father-is.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2174-a.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2174-a.jpg" alt="Brad and Angelina on the cover of Hello Canada" width="400" align="" border="0" height="414" hspace="" /></a> <br /></p><p>We've heard the <a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/03/angelina-s-doctor-be-careful-you-re-pregnant.aspx">Angelina is pregnant</a> rumor before.

Why? Her publicist says it's because "she's not ready to talk that publicly about what's going on." </p><p>I'm guessing that it has more to do with the fact that she's recently retained one of the highest paid divorce attorneys around, Fiona Shackleton (the lawyer that represented Paul McCartney in the Heather Mills split). </p><p>The subject of the interview was to be: "her separation from Peter Andre and her hopes for the future." Maybe Shackleton reminded her that anything she says or does can be held against her in a court of law. </p><p>Denying her pleas to give it another shot, Peter Andre is asking for a 'quickie' divorce.

Now that I understand that I'm an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it."</p> <p>Speaking to <a class="" href="http://www.vibe.com/" target="_blank"><em>VIBE</em> magazine</a>, in its second annual Real Rap Issue for June/July, the rap star admits to taking as many as 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium a day.  Here are some highlights via <a class="" href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276424,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines" target="_blank">PEOPLE</a>:<br /><br /><em>"The numbers got so high, I don't even know what I was taking."<br /><br />Following his first stint in rehab in 2005, the rapper, 36, tells VIBE he nearly overdosed after an acquaintance gave him unidentified blue pills, which a doctor later told him were actually methadone. "My doctor told me the amount of methadone I'd taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin," Eminem says, noting that had he known, "I probably wouldn't have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can't even say 100 percent for sure."<br /><br />Shortly after detoxing, he suffered a knee injury that required surgery, but because of his drug abuse, he was not prescribed pain killers. "I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin ... I'm ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin – the big extra strength ones – and a few Valium." With his pill addiction spiraling out of control again, Eminem suffered his second relapse before accepting he suffered from drug addiction. <br /><br />With his new album, Relapse, due out May 19, Eminem says he has been sober for a year and is ready to return to the spotlight. "I'm back," he says. "Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that ... now rap's getting me high again."</em></p> <p>Although I'm not a fan of his music per se, it's nice to see Eminem turning his life around, particularly because his daughter Hailie, 13, is heading into those difficult teen years.  She needs a strong role model in her father (and her mom, too) to help her get through the challenges and peer pressure she will face.</p> <p>[<a class="" href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276424,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines" target="_blank">Source</a>]</p> <p><strong><font color="#800000">Related Posts:</font></strong></p> <p><a class="" href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/12/lauren-london-pregnant-with-lil-wayne-s-baby.aspx" target="_blank">Lauren London Pregnant With Lil Wayne's Baby?!</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/13/dirk-nowitzki-s-fiance-arrested.aspx">Dirk Nowitzki's Fiance Arrested?</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/06/eminem-takes-no-chances-when-it-comes-to-swine-flu.aspx"><font color="#142836" size="2">Eminem Takes No Chances When It Comes To Swine Flu</font></a></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=204045" width="1" height="1">celebrity dadcelebrity parentingrappereminemgoogleslim shadymarshall matherssassy smithRelapse 2RelapseHailie Jade ScottMariska Hargitay - Recovery Was A Breezehttp://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/11/mariska-hartigay-recovery-was-a-breeze.aspxMon, 11 May 2009 18:31:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:203488trix4http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=203488http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/11/mariska-hartigay-recovery-was-a-breeze.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2009/mariska-hartigay-svu-collapsed-lung.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2009/mariska-hartigay-svu-collapsed-lung.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> </p><p>Mariska Hargitay had quite the <a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/03/06/law-amp-order-s-mariska-hargitay-hospitalized-again.aspx">health scare</a> at the beginning of <a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/01/13/mariska-hargitay-suffers-collapsed-lung.aspx">this year</a>.

This week, her book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Your-Best-Birth-Discover-Experience/dp/0446538132"><i>Your Best Birth</i></a> has hit shelves. Will it start a revolution?</p><p>Midwives, home births, etc. are seen by many as semi-dangerous hippie trends, but Ricki sees it the other way around. She says that many of the thinks that many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good. That's apparently the reason Ricki and her producer/co-author Abbey Epstein have gotten on their soap box. </p><p>According to them, 99% of births in the US occur in hospitals, though the vast majority are not high risk. In Lake's opinion, once you step into a hospital, you lose almost all control over the process of childbirth. Ricki went home birth for her second child because she wanted control over the mood lighting, the tunes, and even the menu.<i></i></p><p><i>"I didn't want to be somewhere where I could only have ice chips."</i> </p><p>What do you think about Ricki's encouraging women to try midwives and home birth? Is she the Jenny McCarthy of childbirth?</p><p><a href="http://www.parentdish.com/2009/05/06/ricki-lake-wants-women-to-take-control-of-childbirth/">Source</a> | <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ricki_Lake_by_David_Shankbone.jpg">Photo </a><br /></p><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=202482" width="1" height="1">celebrity momJenny McCarthyHairspraybookcelebrity parentinghome birthdocumentarymidwivesricki lakehospitalsThe Business of Childbirthcaesarian sectionobstetricianAbbey EpsteinRicki Lake ShowYour Best BirthGordon Ramsay F-Bombs Away On Lettermanhttp://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/07/gordon-ramsay-f-bombs-away-on-letterman.aspxThu, 07 May 2009 11:30:00 GMT42a08a39-daf3-4129-8a63-8a27b879cc03:202424Josh loposer0http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=202424http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/archive/2009/05/07/gordon-ramsay-f-bombs-away-on-letterman.aspx#comments<p><a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/83163936_full.jpg"><img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/83163936_full.jpg" alt="Gordon Ramsay and family" width="300" align="" border="0" height="438" hspace="" /></a> <br /></p><p>He may be a good father to his own children, but he's not exactly the kind of guy you want your little aspiring chef to look up to. At least, not until they're allowed to watch R rated movies. </p><p>Gordon Ramsay's colorful language apparently shocked Letterman and his studio audience so much that the chef himself actually blushed and tapped Letterman's shoulder to apologize. <i>Ha! </i></p><p>He not only let the F-bombs fly, he even went into a description of a French girlfriend he once had, saying that sex with her was <i>"like going to bed with a Rottweiler...

Apparently, she's also a bit unconventional when it comes to fashion. Says Ross:</p><p>"I have had pink hair and tattoos and spiked collars. My favorite shoes are five-inch black spike heels which lace up the front."  <br /></p><p>When choosing a surrgoate, there are two ways of looking at it: either you want to know every last detail about the mother of your child, or you just go into it completely blind. <i>Yikes</i>.</p><p>I'm not sure if SJP went into this completely blind, or if she just didn't mind that Michelle was a little different ... but it sound like Ross is about one step away from being the kind of freaky surrogate that Amy Poehler played in <i>Baby Mama</i>.
