Kirk Cameron Will Only Kiss His Wife

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:05:00 GMT

Kirk Cameron, the actor who starred in the popular sitcom "Growing Pains," had a dilemma while filming his latest movie 'Fireproof": He had to kiss the actress who was playing his wife. The problem? Cameron will not kiss any woman who is not his wife. In an interview with the Today show he says, "I have a commitment not to kiss any other woman."

The filmmakers went to great lengths to work around this by dressing his wife, actress Chelsea Noble, as his wife in the film and then shooting all their scenes in silhouette. “So when I’m kissing my wife, we’re actually husband and wife honoring marriage behind the scenes,” Cameron says.

Okay, when I first read that, I thought to myself, "That's weird!" and then I tore all of my Kirk Cameron posters down from the wall.

Then I read his explanation. “The reason this movie was important to me personally is because I love my wife dearly,” he said. “We’ve been married for 17 years … and we have six children. So marriage is a very special and sacred thing to us. In a day and age where marriage is falling apart, we want to make movies and projects that really uphold and have a high view of that which is beautiful and wonderful in our culture.”

Then I thought, "That's so romantic!" and then I taped all of his posters back up.

Cameron and Noble, who played his girlfriend on "Growing Pains," have six children together including four who are adopted. Cameron, a former atheist, became an evangelical Christian at the age of 17 while he was starring in "Growing Pains" and says he often clashed with the producers over what he felt were immoral story lines. I guess that means he won't be doing any guest roles on the "The Hills."

If this guy's for real he sounds real sweet, but I'm just wondering what he's doing in Hollywood.

Josh Hamilton Loves God and Baseball

Did you watch the MLB Home Run Derby last night? If you did then you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't, then your loss. End of post.

Just kidding.

Alright, here's the short version on Josh Hamilton. He was a blue chip prospect a few years back- first guy taken in the draft. He had some issues that derailed his career, namely drugs and alcohol. He was out of baseball for 3 years during which he started having visions and found God and got his act together. He's back:

Last night Josh stood beneath the lights in Yankee Stadium and looked into the eyes of the 71-year-old man pitching to him. Hamilton had brought his old pitching coach from his childhood to pitch to him, making good on a promise once made. Josh Hamilton stood there at the plate, sober and determined and proceeded to hit 28 home runs in the first round, thirteen of them on consecutive swings. It was a record. It had the crowd roaring. It was a dream literally come true.

You could see the movie being made even as Josh ultimately lost the 3 round contest to Justin Morneau. A baseball movie about more than baseball. Kevin Costner would have to gain about 30 pounds for the role.

Josh is married to Katie who is pregnant. They have one daughter together and Katie has a daughter from a previous relationship.

Hey Y'all, Britney and Mystery Man Take the Kids to Church, Everything's Okay

Britney Spears and international man of intrigue, John Sundahl, went to church today. No reports as to whether or not the place collapsed, although lightning was sighted.

They took Spears' two kids, Sean and Jayden (who does not look thrilled), as if to show the world, and of course God, that she is a good momma. I think it's going to take more than a little Sunday Christianity to make anyone buy that.
