P.S. The Kate Beckinsales

Whit Honea — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:22:00 GMT

Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman took Lily to the P.S. Arts "Express Yourself 2008" fest in Santa Monica.

It's no trip to the comic store, but it's for a good cause.

Madagascar 2 opens in theaters on November 7. Chris has a part in the movie, of course, and also produces and narrates the TV series "Everybody Hates Chris."

Caroline Rhea Welcomes a Daughter with the Longest Last Name in the World

Karl Erikson — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:07:00 GMT

It's a little Rhea of sunshine for Caroline Rhea and boyfriend Costaki Economopoulos. Ah, a nice Irish boy. I think he's making that name up. But no matter, what's important is that the couple have a brand new baby daughter. Little Ava Rhea Economopoulos was born Monday, coming it at 8 lbs, 15 oz and measuring 22-1/2 inches long. That's a big girl!

Caroline and Costaki said they wanted to minimize the damage of Ava's last name. "We wanted the shortest first name possible," Caroline says, "since her last name is the entire alphabet. It was either Ava or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."

She's still got it. Caroline, a comic actress known mostly for the wacky aunt on "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," now stars in the Logo Network series, "Sordid Lives."

Congrats to Caroline and Costaki. Just please don't make me type that last name again.

Michael Jackson's Kids Unmasked!

Whit Honea — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:04:00 GMT

One time musical great and current freak show Michael Jackson took his poor, poor, poor, poor, poor, (how long is this post?) poor kids to a comic store where they were ushered in through the backdoor before they were allowed to remove their disguises.

In other news, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II: Electric Boogaloo, got some pretty sweet treats. Jacko got a rock.

Berkeley Breathed is a Penguin Killer

Whit Honea — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:44:00 GMT

Berkeley Breathed has brought us the tale of Opus for the last time. The famous penguin may literally be kissing his nose goodbye.

Breathed, who is retiring to work for his 5-year-old daughter, will be ending the flightless hero's run and possibly his life. Opus has graced such comics as Bloom County, Outland, and his swan (penguin?) song, Opus.

We'll miss you, Opus.

Hilarious. Check out this clip from "The Simpsons" where Homer - the ultimate celebrity parents - votes for Obama. Or McCain. Oh, the horrors of the electronic voting machine! You ARE registered to vote, right?

Sandra Bernhard Axed From Benefit Because of Sarah Palin Joke

Karl Erikson — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:06:00 GMT

Comedian Sandra Bernhard was scheduled to headline an annual benefit for Rosie's Place, a women's shelter in Boston. Then, less than a month ago at her one-woman show in Washington, Bernhard made a "joke" about Governor Sarah Palin, saying that Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she ever came to NYC.

Isn't that hysterical? I've never been a fan of Bernhard's comedy...she just grates on me, worse than Dane Cook. But that's pretty far over the line, even for a bitch (with a capital "C") like Bernhard. And the officials at Rosie's Place agree. They've cut Bernhard from the benefit.

P.R. director for the shelter, Leemarie Mosca, said that "we don't think violence against women is a laughing matter. Right now, our main focus is on our event and making sure the event is a success. For us, that means not including Sandra Bernhard at this time."

Trying to defend her caustic remark, Bernhard said on her web site that the gang-rape joke was part of a larger piece from her show about "racism, freedom, women's right, and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin - a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose. I certainly wish Gov. Palin no harm - I'd just like her to explain to me how she can hold such outrageous views, and then go back to Alaska."

Yeah, extreme and outrageous views. Certainly none of those coming out of Sandra's mouth.

Sandra Bernhard and Daughter

Karl Erikson — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:31:00 GMT

Ah, Kabababbalah. It's just fun to say, isn't it? Well, Sandra Bernhard, 53, and daughter Cicely, 10, were seen going to the New York Kabbalah center recently.

Which leads to the obvious question: can Jewish mystics get me laid, too? Because the fact that someone slept with Sandra Bernhard is freaking MIRACULOUS! That's a religion I can buy into.

In the Bleachers Gets It

Whit Honea — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:57:00 GMT

Steve Moore's daily comic In the Bleachers is always pretty funny. I read it every Sunday morning in the L.A. Times while I sip my coffee and listen to jazz*. It's what I do.

Today Moore brought my worlds together. Football is nigh (I couldn't be more excited) and I write about celebrities for a living. Peanut butter and chocolate, man. Peanut butter and chocolate.

Moore, who is the father of 3 young children (and the force behind the animated hit Open Season) perfectly captures the impact that celebrity is having on our culture and he runs with it- and the ball.

Kudos, Mr. Moore.

*the soundtrack for today was John Coltrane, Nina Simone and some early Tom Waits (I know, not "jazz", but still awesome)

Wolverine Trailer Leaked!

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:39:00 GMT

Two daddy favorites here at FameCrawler are starring in the upcoming movie Wolverine. Hugh Jackman and Liev Schrieber will appear as Wolverine and Sabertooth, respectively.

Hugh Jackman showed up last weekend at Comic-Con in San Diego and showed the fans a clip of the just finished movie. This is that clip. It was recorded from the session that Jackman addressed and the quality isn't perfect, but it still looks badass. Enjoy!

World's Most Potty-Mouthed Grandpa Dies: RIP George Carlin

HerBadMother — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:40:00 GMT

The world has lost one of it's funniest and most filthy-mouthed rabble-rousers. George Carlin - who, in addition to revolutionizing cursing, lent his voice to numerous children's shows - died of heart failure yesterday.

Carlin's routine on the "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" led to a 1978 Supreme Court ruling upholding the government's authority to sanction stations for broadcasting offensive language during hours when children might be listening. Carlin also - and the perverse irony of this has always delighted me - lent his voice to such children's programs as Thomas the Tank Engine and the movie Cars.

The world is a lesser place without him. Rest In F*cking Peace, George. RIFP.

Hugh Jackman: He's Not Heavy, He's My Oscar

Whit Honea — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:44:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman's boy Oscar sure is getting big. Luckily for them Hugh, aka Wolverine, has super strength.

He also has some interesting art on his arm. I can't tell if it's a tattoo or something from the set that he hasn't washed off. It could have something to do with his bones being fused with alloy adamantium. I hear that hurt.

Doesn't Supergirl Know that Lindsay Lohan is a Homewrecker?

Whit Honea — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 18:54:00 GMT

I know what you've seen in the comics and on Smallville, Superman and Supergirl are cousins. Well, apparently they are kissing cousins behind the scenes and they've got the little piece of kryptonite to prove it.

If I were Supergirl I'd keep an eye on ol' Red there. I know it's called the fortress of solitude but I'm guessing Superman could fit one more in there.

Lindsay Lohan's Web: Of Heroes and Villains

I guess hooking up with the Joker wasn't enough. You know what they say, once you go comics you never, um, get hooked on phonics? What the hell do they say?

That's some kid. It would appear that her baby got Daddy's looks. Let's hope he also got Dad's moral compass (spider sense?).

Nic Cage in 'The Father of Bath's Tale'

Whit Honea — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 14:03:00 GMT

Nic Cage, actor and admitted comic geek, has removed himself from the peasantry and moved into this little country abode in Bath, England. Basically, the guy has embraced his inner goth.

Kal-El has got to love this. What's cooler than growing up in an old castle?

I wonder if the thing has plumbing.
