Sassy Smith — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:06:00 GMT

The Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools, have been named UK's Favorite Famous Family according to a new poll. In a close second, despite their recent breakup news, is Katie Price and Peter Andre.

Jamie and Jools will soon celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary and are parents to three girls - Poppy Honey, 7, Daisy Boo, 5, and newborn Petal Blossom Rainbow, almost six weeks.

Faye Mingo, who carried out the survey at Bounty.com, said, "It's no surprise the Oliver family have been voted number one. They represent a perfectly matched partnership. Jamie's down-to-earth personality, coupled with Jules' [sic] supportive nature, makes for a strong relationship. Despite the announcement of Katie and Peter's split the couple had become well known for being focused on their family."

Nearly 1 in 3 parents chose Jamie and Jools.

Here is how the other celebrity parents ranked in the poll:

1st - Jamie & Jools Oliver

2nd - Katie Price & Peter Andre

3rd - Barack & Michelle Obama

4th - The Simpsons (uh, seriously?)

5th - Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

6th - Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin

7th - Charlottle Church & Gavin Henson

8th - The Beckhams

9th - Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes

10th - Gordon & Sarah Brown (Madonna tied for 10th place)

Sassy Smith — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:02:00 GMT

Congrats are the recipe of the day! "Naked Chef" Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools, welcomed their third daughter on Friday, April 3, at 2:46 a.m. at London's Portland Hospital. What did they name their new bundle of joy?

Oliver's rep said, "Both [Petal] and Jools are doing well. The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support.

"Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already, and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls."

We're thrilled for the happy family!

Naked Chef Jamie Oliver Creates Recipe To Use Wife's Placenta

Sassy Smith — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:02:00 GMT

Remind me to never dine at Jamie Oliver's home. Seriously. The 'Naked Chef' had plans to trick his friends into eating his wife's placenta - he was going to substitute the liver in a recipe he'd created.

*Insert barfing noises*

Jamie and his wife Jools, are parents to Poppy Honey, 6, and Daisy Boo, 5 and the 33-year-old TV chef had planned on using Jool's placenta after the birth of their second child.

Oliver says, "I asked the last time if I could take it. But they have to take it and do tests on it.

"I had written the recipe - I was going to do a chicken liver parfait with placenta, not liver."

Jools however, was not happy about it.

Adds Oliver, "I was going to get all my mates round to wet the baby's head and I wasn't going to tell them - then show them a DVD of me making it afterwards." I'm pretty sure he'd have no friends left after he pulled that.

"But Jools wouldn't let me, she is too sensible," says Jamie.

Thank goodness one of them is! That is just about one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.

Maybe Jamie can try again though - the couple are expecting their third child, due in April.

DWTS Brooke Burke Dances Despite Injury!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:09:00 GMT

Celebrity mom of four, Brooke Burke, who has been looking fabulous on Dancing With The Stars, suffered an injury during a rehearsal Sunday afternoon. A camera had come down hard on her right foot while doing a front flip during her dance routine. She iced the injury and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Monday morning as a precaution. She suffered a contusion but that didn't keep her from dancing Monday night!

Brooke, despite being bruised, did a fantastic job and nabbed the top score on DWTS for the seventh straight week! Burke and her partner, Derek Hough performed Don't Be Cruel and scored 29 out of a possible 30 points from judges. It was the highest score yet!

I guess chasing all those kids around has helped keep her fit and limber!

Giada De Laurentiis Says Daughter Needs Teeth

Karl Erikson — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:27:00 GMT

The gorgeous Giada De Laurentiis has books and TV shows in the air at all times, so she's still learning how to juggle motherhood along with everything else. Famous for her shows on the Food Network, including "Everyday Italian," Giada is a new mom to Jade Marie, now 6 months.

"When you have children," Giada says, "everything changes. A lot of women know, you learn as you go through it." At the recent NYC Wine and Food Festival she said she's still working on the balance "between not giving up everything that I used to do, and not missing out on anything that my daughter does."

What's it like for a professional to prepare food for a toddler? Jade only just started eating solid foods last week, so fortunately she's not all that picky yet. Hell, anything tastes better than mashed lima beans! "It'll be a couple years before I understand what she likes and doesn't like," Giada says. "And she's got to get some teeth. She's missing teeth and hair."

So it's like a miniature Grandpa, then, including the diapers. Cool!

Dancing With The Stars: Brooke Burke's Amazing Bod (Video)

Sassy Smith — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:41:00 GMT

The new season of Dancing With The Stars has started and although I'm not a regular watcher, I did catch the first show. Brooke Burke is one of the 'stars' on the show, and I think she danced well - I was slightly preoccupied with her abs, so I'm not 100% sure of her dancing abilities. The woman is a mom of four and the youngest is only 6 months old! Watch the video and you too, will hate her. Ha.

Video after the jump!

Lotsa cleavage going on too. I mean, look at her technique.

Karl Erikson — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:35:00 GMT

This morning on Good Morning America the newest celebrity/quasi-celebrity lineup was announced for next season's Dancing With the Stars! Woo hoo! I'm so excited!

OK, not really. I've never seen the show. I still happen to think the Funky Chicken is a badass dance move. Still, I know the show is big and that lots of our readers are interested. I mean, it's up for eight Emmys this year, so someone must watch.

This season, not only are they bringing back uber-popular dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, but they're also adding three new pro dancers. On top of that, this season brings a couple of records to the table. The oldest-ever competitor on the show, hilarious lady Cloris Leachman, who is 82, and the youngest competitor, Cody Linley (of Hannah Montana fame), who is 18.

Here's the complete lineup of stars, which include some of our favorite celebrity parents:

Toni Braxton (some singer)
Lance Bass (never heard of him)
Ted McGinley (The Love Boat!)
Cloris Leachman
Warren Sapp (some football dude)
Rocco DiSpirito (some cooking dude)
Kim Kardashian (some slut)
Maurice Green (some Olympic dude)
Misty May-Treanor (some hot badass Gold Medalist chick)
Susan Lucci (some soap actress chick)
Jeffrey Ross (some funny dude)
Cody Linley (some dude making money off Miley Cyrus)
Brooke Burke (some actress)

Rachel Ray Pregnant?

Karen — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Rachel Ray was in L.A. attending the Daytime Emmy Awards, of which she took Best Talk Show, beating out Ellen!

When cameras caught up with the cooking diva, she was shopping on Robertson Blvd with her hot hubby John Cusimano, lead singer in the band The Cringe.

Rachel's weight has always fluctuated from those early days of $40 A Day to now, but lately people are a buzz as to whether this weight gain is of the baby variety.

Which Top Chef Welcomed a Top Baby?

Whit Honea — Sat, 31 May 2008 17:36:00 GMT

Travel, if you will, to a land of faux-hawks and bickering where the critics are harsh and the waiting room is stocked with beer. Wait, that's my house.

Can you guess which Top Chef just welcomed a baby daughter?

It's Richard Blais! He and his wife Jazmine were joined by Riley Maddox on Thursday.

Congratulations!

Nigella Lawson Has Millions - Plans On Leaving Her Kids NOTHING

Sassy Smith — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:07:00 GMT

TV personality and celebrity chef Nigella Lawson has lotsa money - a combined estimated worth of $200 million plus, with her husband Charles Saatchi.

The British beauty and her husband have different views on whether or not they should leave their children financially secure when they pass away. Lawson says, "I am determined that my children should have no financial security. It ruins people not having to earn money."

The couple have three kids from previous marriages - Nigella, two, and her husband has one daughter. Bruno, 11, Phoebe, 12, and Cosima, 13, apparently won't be seeing a freakin' penny from their parents.

Nigella continues, "I argue with my husband Charles, because he believes that you should be able to leave money to your children. I think we'll have to agree to disagree."

I guess the kids will have to hope that mom goes first and that dad changes the will. Oh, was that wrong? I'm not wishing the woman dead, just stating the obvious.

Oh just a little note of interest - Nigella came from a rich family and she married into money. Easy to say you don't want to leave your kids any money when you don't really know what it's like to struggle.

Not Your Everyday Italian: Pregnant Giada de Laurentiis at Mad Money Premiere

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:36:00 GMT

I'm sure chef Giada de Laurentiis is tired of hearing food-related pregnancy sayings, so I'll refrain from saying she's got a bun in the oven. De Laurentiis, seen here at the Mad Money premiere in Westwood, Calif. last night, is expecting her first child with husband Todd Thompson in April.

The Food Network star, who recently revealed that she is pregnant with a girl, told Redbook magazine that she hopes her daughter will share her love of cooking but she's not counting on it. "I hope I can pass on the love of food to my child the way my family did to me...But watch, I will probably end up with a child who not only doesn't care about food, but doesn't ever want to set foot in a kitchen!" she says.

Bam! Emeril Lagasse Gets Burned

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:45:00 GMT

Ubiquitous celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse has chopped, sautéed and fried his way out of The Food Network's lineup, at least partially. Lagasse's "Emeril Live" has been cancelled, while the only slightly less annoying "Essence of Emeril" will remain on the air. Lagasse is a veteran of the network and has attracted a loyal following of fans who apparently never tire of his annoying catchphrases. Me, if I hear "Kick it up a notch" one more time I'm going to strangle Lagasse with one of his sausage ropes.

Negotiations between the celebrity chef and the network broke down on Tuesday and the network decided to kick him down a notch - the last episode of "Emeril Live" will air on December 11. Guess Lagasse's head got too big for his toque.

Angelina Jolie Won't Be Giving Brad Pitt The Bird This Thanksgiving

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 14:35:00 GMT

Looks like it'll be a down-home Thanksgiving for the globe-trotting Brangelina. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their four children will be heading to Missouri to spend the holiday with Pitt's family. A friend of the couple says that they're eager to show their children, Maddox, 6; Pax, 3; Zahara, 2; and 1-year-old Shiloh the importance of nourishing family ties. “Brad thinks it’s just as important to have the kids be exposed to the values he saw growing up in Missouri as it is for them to travel around the world,”

But don't expect Angelina to be sweating in the kitchen cooking up the bird. "’I'm not much of a cook, so we'll see what happens," she said. “We all chip in, but I don’t think anybody in my family wants me to handle Thanksgiving dinner." Hey Angie - there's always the Butterball Hotline!

I don't think Brad cares that Angie won't be doing the cooking - something tells me he wasn't attracted to her because she looked hot in an apron serving up a casserole.
