Rebecca Romijn Shows Off Charlie and Dolly

trix — Sat, 23 May 2009 13:33:00 GMT

Oh my, aren't they cute!

Rebecca Romijn showed off her twin daughters to Instyle Magazine. She sure looks happy to me.

She commented on her post baby body saying, "I feel as sexy as I have ever felt. I’m a jeans size up from where I usually am, but there’s nothing about it that freaks me out. I’ve always said that sexy is having a really strong sense of yourself and never taking yourself too seriously."

She needs to repeat that mantra daily to her daughters. It's never to early to start the whole self-confidence thing.

What's one thing you want to make sure you pass on to your kids?

Kevin Costner And Cayden Party At Stagecoach Festival

Josh loposer — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:00:00 GMT

OK, maybe just Kevin was in the mood to party. His two-year-old Cayden Wyatt (as in Wyatt Earp, get it), looks a little bushed after daddy's set at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival.

That's right, Kevin Costner a second-tier country star now, and his band Modern West took the stage, along with Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire, Kenney Chesney, and Kid Rock at the Empire Polo Club. The event drew an estimated 40,000 per day to the polo grounds, which just last week were home to Coachella.

Costner apparently forgot to grab 23-month-old Cayden's cowboy hat. That would have made for a much cooler photo op. As for his youngest, 11-week-old Haynes Logan, he stayed home.

Also conspicuously absent from Stagecoach were Brad Paisley's two sons William Huckleberry, 14 months, and newly named Jasper Warren, 3 weeks old.

Dierks Bentley's Songs Make His Daughter Puke! How Cute?

Josh loposer — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:30:00 GMT

Late last year, country music star Dierks Bentley welcomed a new muse into his life and songwriting. And reportedly, she has some pretty strong opinions when it comes to musical taste.

His 6-month-old daughter has already inspired more songs than most people do in their whole life, but apparently, those are pretty much the only ones she likes.

When Dierks sings her one of her songs, she loves it. When he busts out one of his more -- how do I put this -- adult-oriented songs, she pretty much just sits there. Or even worse, when he played her an acoustic version of "This Beautiful World," Evie puked. Of course, Dierks thinks that's super cute -- which it is:

“That counts … spit up’s good! Throw up or spit up … either one’s fine. It’s a response.”

Dierks also talks about his parenting approach:

“If it’s a guy raising a guy … it’s, ‘Oh yeah. I know exactly how to raise a little dude!’ With a girl it’s like, whoa … you just start looking at everything differently. I’ve just got to be there to allow her to blossom into the girl she wants to be.”

Keith Urban Tells About Daughter Sunday's Name

Karl Erikson — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:08:00 GMT

Keith Urban, 41, will appear on the Ellen show tomorrow, and he talks about his daughter Sunday Rose during the show. Her name, he says, is kind of bittersweet.

"Particularly when you don't have someone in your life," Keith says, "in my experience, Sunday was the loneliest day. It went from being sort of the most dreaded day of the week for us to being the most joyous day, because we just had a family."

Keith is married to fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman, but because the couple live in Nashville with their 9-month-old daughter, Keith says, "I think she may say, 'Good day, ya'll.' A nice mix."

LeAnn Rimes Has a Cheating Heart

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:17:00 GMT

Us Magazine is reporting that country singer LeAnn Rimes has been doing more than practicing lines with her married TV movie co-star, Eddie Cibrian. Sources say that Rimes, who has been married to Dean Sheremet for seven years, is having a steamy affair with Cibrian, who wed model Brandi Glanville in 2001 and have two young sons together.

Rimes and Cibrian met on the set of their upcoming LIfetime movie, "Northern Lights." Prior to news of the affair breaking, director Mike Robe revealed that the two co-stars had a deep connection. "From the moment we rehearsed, LeAnn and Eddie honestly developed a really strong bond and a warm relationship."

The mag is featuring pictures taken from a video security camera that show the two holding hands and kissing on a romantic dinner date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California on March 7. Additionally, they are reporting that the new couple met for a three-hour tryst at the Malibu Beach Inn on March 14. I don't know - looks to me like maybe Eddie was just leaning in to lick some mustard off of LeAnn's chin:

Let's hope these two aren't really the homewreckers the article is making them out to be. Extra sad is the fact that there are two very young kids involved - Cibrian's sons are only 5 and 23 months. Looks like he won't be winning any Father of the Year Awards.

Country Crooner Josh Turner & Wife Expecting!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:02:00 GMT

Country crooner Josh Turner and his wife Jennifer, are going to be parents for the second time! The baby will arrive this summer and the couple also have a 2-year-old son, Hampton Otis.

Josh and Jennifer were married in 2003 and said of their son Hampton: "He's full of energy and such a delight." Adding that having him in their lives, "makes you richer as a person."

Turner said he was nicely surprises by his wife's news, "I was in town writing songs one day and had been praying for something good to happen. We did write a song and it wasn't that great, but when I came home, my wife, Jennifer, and (2-year old son) Hampton were playing and she told me she was pregnant again. Man, I was speechless! It was like, 'Wow, we're going this again!'"

The 31-year-old singer is more confident about fatherhood the second time around, "I do feel more confident. Jennifer talked about little things she's worried about but I'm like, 'Hey we've been through this before.' The fundamental things you freaked out about with the first child, I don't think you'll freak out about them as much. I'm more prepared for those newborn months, the crying and trying to figure out what's wrong."

How is their toddler taking the news he's getting a new sibling?

"He's excited about having a play partner," Turner said. "He keeps talking about how he wants to snuggle with it. I'm hoping he's going to be snuggly and not rough!"

Congrats and hope things go well with the pregnancy and delivery!

Jerry O'Connell Has High Hopes For His Daughters' Future

Jerry O'Connell is setting his sights high for his daughters future and says he has one major goal, now that he is a dad.

He told Ellen DeGeneres that his, "Goal in life is to keep his daughters off VH1 reality shows; I just don't want my daughters vying for Flava Flav's love."

Oh my gosh, I so hear that.

He also talked about the girl's personalities and how they are starting to show. He said that Charlie, grunts and grimaces to let her needs and wants made known. He was also very candid when he said that babies have "whiny instincts".

I say, wait until they are 3 1/2 or 4, it seems like their only tone of voice is whine or wheedle.

I'm kind of sad that I missed it, though, I guess if I really wanted to see it I could look for it online, but who has the time.

Kenny Chesney Prefers a Bullet to the Head to Having Kids

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Kenny Chesney's still trying to refute those gay rumors that have dogged him ever since his four-month marriage to Renee Zellweger ended in annulment, citing "fraud" as the reason. Now he's saying he's just not the settling-down type, telling Playboy, “I have friends who have a normal family, kids and a dog, and I think I would blow my brains out."

Wow, Kenny - having a family really isn't that bad, but if that's the way you feel better keep your sperm to yourself. Would hate for you to dirty up that hat of yours with a bunch of grey matter.

Then, to further prove what a manly, woman-loving, heterosexual stud muffin he is, Chesney talks about the "long line of girls" that he has had sex with who could "testify that I am not gay."

“Man, I was over 100 several years ago...that was probably back in 2001...There were years when I had a better summer than A-Rod, buddy. You know? I got on the boards quite often. From 1993 to 1998 — those five years were a blur. We would party on the bus after every show.”

Somebody give me that gun.

Dierks Bentley Debuts Daughter Evalyn Day

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:02:00 GMT

Country music star Dierks Bentley and his wife Cassidy, welcomed their first child, daughter Evalyn "Evie" Day 4 months ago, and now the proud papa is showing off his beautiful girl.

Photo after the jump!

Bentley, who's touring with fellow country music star Brad Paisley, said, "There's no manual or blueprint for familiies who tour - I wish someone like Brad or Bono would write a book on how to make it work!"

Dierks hit the road last month and although it's hard being away from his wife and new baby, said touring with Brad makes it easier.

"I don't want to be away from them for more than three or four days and this is pretty manageable tour. He does a few dates and then comes home."

The new daddy says of his little girl, "There are just a billion firsts. She's just perfect!"

Aww, sounds like he's so in love with his daughter!

Dierks and Evie are featured in this week's issue of PEOPLE as well as February's issue of PEOPLE Country Special.

Although the pregnancy wasn't planned, they were pleasantly surprised when they found out they were expecting.

Said Jo Dee, "We knew we wanted to have kids, but we just said, 'Whenever it happens, it happens.' And it happened! We were both surprised at first. It's such a lifestyle change. But then we're like, 'Wow, we're going to be parents!'"

Messina is planning a tour for her new album Unmistakable, and will take baby Noah with her.

"But I'm like, 'How do you do that?' Who rides where? Band? Crew? Family? What safety devices do you need? I might grab one of the other singer moms like Sara Evans or Martina McBride and say, 'Help me!'"

Jo Dee and Chris celebrated their first wedding anniversary in October.

Congratulations!

Jerry O'Connell Shows Off Pictures of his Twins

trix — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 13:29:00 GMT

Jerry O'Connell is a tired, but proud new dad. He showed off pictures of his three week old twin daughters yesterday morning on Live with Regis and Kelly.

How adorable and tiny they are.

As brand new parents the couple is learning as they go and that includes, "How to properly change his daughters' diapers and wipe." Jerry's quip of, "Front to back," got laughs from the audience.

The babies are cute all wrapped up in their little pink blankets and if you notice, the girls are laying on a stuffed bear.

Jerry told Kelly Ripa, "These are my first kids and Rebecca's first kids, and you can't imagine just have one. It's so much fun to have two of them. You throw them in the crib and they just play with each other."

They are going to make out like bandits next Christmas.

Romijn, O'Connell Twins: First Pictures & Names Explained

trix — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:31:00 GMT

Oh my goodness, Rebecca finally popped and we have the first pictures of the babies. Proud papa Jerry showed off some adorable pictures of his brand new baby girls.

Aren't they adorable? Oh, I know they aren't pictures of their cute little faces, but what could be better than the first footprints of a brand new baby/babies? We'll post pictures of them as soon as they are available.

Uncle Charlie has given us a clue to the girls looks by saying that, "Charlie looks more like Jerry, and I think Dolly looks more like Rebecca." He also revealed that the girls got their names from some of their parents favorite things, namely, uncle Charlie and Dolly Parton.

Uncle Charlie also said that he is so happy for Rebecca and Jerry, but is glad that he's not one of the busy parents."

Um, me too. My two are crazy enough without adding two more to the fray.

He added that the fraternal twins were "taking their turns" crying and sleeping in the hospital,"They seemed pretty independent"
The reality TV star says he can't wait to watch his nieces grow up. "I'm excited for when they start walking and talking, and seeing what they're interested in. Dance, karate, things like that. I can't wait to get them the Barbie Jeep or something!"

I think their names are adorable. I always like when girls have boy names, I wanted to be called Alex.

Jo Dee Messina: Son Going to Be Confused By Music

Karl Erikson — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:36:00 GMT

With Jo Dee Messina expecting, there will likely be a lot of music surrounding the baby. Unlike a lot of mothers, though, she hasn't yet started exposing the baby to any music. You know, plenty of women think babies can hear music in the womb and they blare Iron Maiden while holding the speakers against their bellies, to introduce the child to culture and all that.

Jo Dee's husband, Chris Deffenbaugh, is "a big jazz guy," she says. "So at some point I'm sure the baby will be totally confused by the musical selections being toted around the house!" With country and jazz being played in the house, the kid is likely going to be a huge rap fan.

Mindy McCready Attempts Suicide

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:35:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is said to be in stable condition after police report that she cut her wrists and took several pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Nashville police said McCready’s brother, Timothy McCready, discovered the singer in her bloody bed on Wednesday, several hours after she returned from a night out. He told police his sister had been “very intoxicated”.

McCready, 33, has been struggling for the past few years with legal and personal problems that have included drug charges, probation violations and previous suicide attempts.

According to the Nashville police report, the singer called her mother and told her “she had seen her angel baby.” This prompted the mother to call Timothy McCready to check on her.

He told police he found her stumbling in the kitchen but she seemed fine and she returned to her room. He went to check on her again after he woke up later that morning and discovered she had cut her wrists and ingested several pills.

This latest incident is a sad chapter in McCready's obviously turbulent life, and no doubt traumatic for her all her family and friends. But I'm curious to know why none of the stories I've read mention where McCready's 2-year-old son Zander Ryan McCready has been through all of this. In 2005 the boy's father, McCready's ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight, was arrested and charged with attempted murder after beating and choking McCready. Let's hope little Zander is somewhere far away from all this chaos.

Tim McGraw- Is He Or Isn't He Going Into Politics

trix — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:27:00 GMT

Tim McGraw has expressed an interest in going into politics and sources say that it could be as soon as 2010.
The idea has been supported by Bill Clinton who says, “I think he’s got it. The Democrats need candidates whom people can relate to in a personal way, people who understand their lives and their concerns and share their values. And I think that’s something Tim can do without even pretending.”

However, Tim McGraw says that it's all fantasy. His rep said, "There's no truth to this, it's something he is interested in, but not for 2010. Later in life."

Tim said, "I grew up in Louisiana and politics is kind of a contact sport and you grow up knowing about it, I've always been fascinated by what can be done in the public arena. And if the time comes where there's something available and I think I can do some positive things, I'll be glad to do it. I wouldn't want to do it just to say I did it."

But, he added with a laugh, "I think I gotta get a lot smarter between now and then!"

I think he has to stop saying "gotta" as well.

Maybe he wants to wait until his kids are a little older to get involved in politics.

Guess What Sunday Rose Is Getting For Christmas?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:08:00 GMT

Sunday Rose, the 5-month-old daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, will celebrate her first Christmas this year. What do you suppose her parents are getting her?

At the London premiere of her latest film, Australia, Kidman tells PEOPLE:

"Just a lot of hugs and kisses and Christmas carols." But she did buy Sunday Rose at least one gift - a turtle puppet.

Nicole adds, "She loves puppets!"

What will you (or did you) buy your baby for their first Christmas?

Nicole Pulls A Britney - Forgets Sunday Rose's Car Seat

Sassy Smith — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:05:00 GMT

I'm fairly certain Nicole Kidman can afford a baby car seat for her daughter Sunday Rose. Sure, Nic only gets about $10 million a film now, but that's got to be enough dough to swing a seat for her baby. Remember when Britney drove down the freeway with little Sean P. on her lap? Well, Nicole might not be whipping down the freeway but she's in a vehicle with her daughter on her lap. That's a big NO-NO.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves - when parents don't properly secure their children, particularly infants, while riding in a motorized vehicle. I don't get why a parent would decide not to? In a rush? Not going far? Not going fast? Doesn't matter - buckle your baby. As a general rule, babies are to be in a rear-facing car seat until they're one year or reach 20 lbs. Last time I checked Sunday Rose hadn't even reached 5-months-old.

Seriously, I thought Nicole would be smarter than that!

Nicole Kidman on Defying the Odds

Karl Erikson — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:08:00 GMT

They say every baby is a miracle and, with the case of Nicole Kidman's Sunday Rose, it's more true than ever. Nicole, 41, talked about her ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage on "The View" Friday, and revealed her odds for having a biological child were slim to none.

"I was told I had a 2% chance of getting pregnant," Nicole said. "So I say she's a 2% baby." Nicole is a mom to Isabella Jane, 16, and Connor Antony, 13, but when she talked about Sunday she teared up a bit. "Something happened to me when I birthed that baby, that's changed me," she says. "I had Bella and Connor when I was 25, and I think at 41 something happened."

She even puts her hand on Sunday's back at night to make sure she's breathing. "I'm kind of very, very raw and open...I'm fearful and all those things. I wake up going... is she okay?"

This is Sunday's first Christmas, and Nicole and husband Keith Urban have already started decorating the house. "Keith drove up the driveway the other day and burst out laughing, he said it looks just like Disney Land," she says. "But I just wanted it...little baby loves lights."

Josh Gracin Introduces Isabella Sophia to the World

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:35:00 GMT

American Idol star and country singer Josh Gracin introduced the world to their fourth child this week in US Weekly. He and wife Ann Marie showed everyone 3-week-old Isabella Sophia Gracin and she's gorgeous.

Josh says, "Isabella is the biggest of all our babies, outweighs the others by a pound and a half, and is an inch longer than our other three at birth." Looks like her brother, Landon, will be surrounded by girls on all sides. He has sisters Briana Marie, 6-1/2 and Gabriella Ann, 2.

"With three girls and one boy, I'm afraid our son Landon is going to suffer the same fate as me growing up with four sisters. He's going to have to learn to hold his own!"

That's for sure. I just had the one sister and it was about as difficult getting bathroom time as it is getting a lion to go for the salad bar.

Facebook Users: We Hate Nicole Kidman

Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:06:00 GMT

Celebrities are sometimes, either loved or hated - and while it's certainly a person's right to like or dislike a particular celebrity, is it really necessary to create a specific group to post about your hatred? And what's worse - picking on the children of the celebrity. That's just not cool!

There's apparently anti-Kidman campaigns and groups on Facebook where people can discuss their dislike of the actress, who, I'm sure, they've never met. Sure, there are celebrities that I don't particularly like, but am I going to create a group to bash them? No, I've got better things to do - like take a nap.

There are groups titled "Am I Taking Crazy Pills or is Nicole Kidman the Worst Actress in the World?" "Nicole Kidman is Satan," and "I Hate Nicole Kidman."

One person wrote, "She is manipulative, calculating and two faced!" Another blogger wrote, "she has the emotional scope of a spoon and she's ugly."

She's also being trashed for her latest role in Australia. Others have called her "ice queen," and said her crappy acting was because of her "baby brain." Listen, having kids does suck some of your brain power out - I have four, so I should know, but that doesn't mean you become an idiot! Sure, I've run the washer without putting the laundry in it, but hey, it only happened three times. But I digress....

Some bloggers also put up a photo of Nicole, digitally enhanced to make her look 100 years old and some have even attacked her baby, Sunday Rose. Now that's low. Celebrities are fair game - personally, I'd never create a hate group, but hey, if that's your thing, whatever. But to pick on a child(ren), seriously, get a life.

Nicole Kidman isn't my favorite actress by any means but she seems like a nice woman, a loving wife and a wonderful mom.

Toby Keith: Country Music Association Screwed Me

Karl Erikson — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 22:08:00 GMT

Toby Keith once again skipped Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards. He says he gets no respect from the country music industry. "I know everybody is going to say it's sour grapes, but I don't care - it's not," Toby says. "I haven't been to a CMA Awards show in four years. They screwed me 'till I finally saw the light."

Toby has been nominated for CMAs a lot over the years; 27 of them, in fact. But he's only won twice, once for Video of the Year in 2005, and one for Male Vocalist of the Year in 2001. He says that the CMA is playing politics. In 2003 and 2004, he didn't win a thing, despite his 13 nominations.

Ever since, Keith says he's finished with the show. Other fan faves were shut out of the awards this year, too, says Toby. Rascal Flatts and Tim McGraw are examples of this. Flatts actually did get one nomination for Best Vocal Group. "You do your own math on that and figure out what you think about that show."

Yeah, no sour grapes there at all. *cough*

Toby has been married to his wife, Tricia, for 24 years. Together they have 3 children - Shelley, 28, Krystal, 23, and Stelen, 11.
