Karl Erikson — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 20:35:00 GMT

A big fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation took place a few days ago at the Sheraton Towers in New York City. Called "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To Cure Parkinson's," lots of big names showed up, including Michael and his wife, Tracy...and their daughter, Schuyler.

Michael and Tracy have four kids - Sam, 19, twin daughters Aquinnah and Schulyer, 13, and Esme, 7. You can visit the Michael J. Fox Foundation at michaeljfox.org

Looks like Sheryl Crowe and her little Wyatt are leaving Los Angeles to head back for Tennessee. Crow, 46, was a major part of the recent TV special "Stand Up To Cancer" last Friday night. Back to her farm outside Nashville. God, even when she's knackered, Sheryl Crow is hot.

Sheryl Has a Lot to Crow About on the Road With Her Son

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:51:00 GMT

Sheryl Crow, the hot as hell 46-year-old rocker songstress, is a busy woman. She's on the road a good portion of the time, whether it's performing on stage, recording in the studio, fronting for companies like Revlon, putting out her own line of jeans, and rallying against the war and global warming...whew, my grammar teacher just rolled over in her grave for that run-on sentence.

Right, she's busy. And she still makes plenty of time for the love of her life - her 1-year-old son, Wyatt. In fact, Wyatt goes on the road with Sheryl all the time.

"I’m lucky my job starts after Wyatt’s gone to bed. And I get to wake up with him in the morning...it’s a pretty sweet arrangement," coos Sheryl. "His crib is right across from my bunk on the bus, and we’re joined at the hip."

She's a woman after my own heart, especially now that I know she deems the "Arrested Development" DVDs as must-bring on the tour bus.

Don't worry, I'll stop swooning in a while.

Heather Mills: Rich, and Something That Rhymes With It

Maybe now she can put a down payment on a soul! A judge ruled on Monday that Paul McCartney must pay golddigging, ex-stripping ex-wife Heather Mills $48.6 million in their divorce settlement. Mills was awarded a lump sum of $33 million plus assets she currently holds valued at $15.6 million.

Mills immediately attempted to garner sympathy for herself and her new $48 million fortune. "Paul was offering a lot less than that, which you’ll see in the judgment, and very much last minute to put me and Beatrice sadly through this ... incredibly sad," she said after leaving the court.

As usual, Mills claims it was all for her charities, and daughter Beatrice, 3. “It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter’s future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with — because you know it has been my life for 20 years,” she said. Of her decision to fire her lawyers, she said the fees “could easily go to charity.”

Yeah, right. Don't act like you're not going straight over to Bergdorf's to clean out their entire Louis Vuitton collection.

Gwen Stefani is a Nice Lady

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:35:00 GMT

Hey! Come back! I'm not being sarcastic - for once. She really is a nice lady. Gwen Stefani, who grew up in Southern California, is donating all the proceeds from her October 30 concert in San Diego to benefit victims of the recent wildfires that devastated the area. Stefani said she considered canceling the show out of respect for the victims, "but then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution." This makes me want to go buy her record at the store, instead of downloading it for free off the internet.

Right after I finished writing this post I saw this article, revealing recently released documents that show Britney Spears has an average monthly income of $737,868 and spends $16,000 of it on clothes and $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations. There's a moral to this story in here somewhere.
