Liz & Damian Hurley Prepare for Takeoff

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:46:00 GMT

Elizabeth Hurley is seen here getting ready to jet off with Damian Chares Hurley, 6. They're preparing for the holidays just like the rest of us, but with more money. Liz is married to Arun Nayar. We haven't seen her in any movies of late, but why not sit down with a fun viewing of "Bedazzled?" One of my fave movies with her.

Elizabeth Hurley: I Could Be Barbie

Karl Erikson — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Elizabeth Hurley, 43, got married to textile heir Arun Naya last year and, ever since, India found its way into her life with all of its culture and beauty. She first visited India with ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant 20 years ago. Now Elizabeth and Arun, along with her 6-1/2-year-old son Damian Charles, visit the country several times a year. It's "fresh and exciting" with each and every visit, she says.

Elizabeth's son, Damian, loves India so much that he was incredibly disappointed recently when Liz was feeling to sick to fly on a trip there. Damian has become quite the world traveler, Liz says, and "behaves impeccably on planes."

Her son has also embraced the fashion culture of India and encourages his mom to wear traditional Indian dress as much as possible. A recent tight, revealing dress that Liz wore got two big thumbs up from both Arun and Damian. She says that if her men had their druthers, she would be a walking fashion doll. "If I let the two of them style me, I'd be a full-time Barbie doll!" Elizabeth laughs.

She also says she'd love another baby. Funny, I'd love her to have another baby, too. With me.

Let Me Tell You How to Get to Sesame Street

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Can you believe that "Sesame Street" is getting ready to start its 39th season? Crazy, right?

Well, it's true and this year promises to be the best yet because they're going to focus more on math!

I suppose that's a good thing, but that's not really why you're reading about "Sesame Street" on FameCrawler. No, we are in it for the celebrities.

In the upcoming season we'll see some of our favorite celebrity parents (and soon-to-be), as well as some other people that I'm too lazy to Google for parental status.

Here is a quick list of some of the stars you'll find singing, rhyming and arithmeticin' this season (starts August 11th): Will Arnett, Feist, Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Brian Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jack Black, Jenny McCarthy, Feijoo Sisters and Jason Taylor. Impressive, isn't it?

Also of note are some of the planned sketches that build upon popular culture: "30 Rocks," "Pre-School Musical" and "Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer," all of which sound pretty darn funny and/or eductional.

Awesome.

Falling Down: Duran Duran Discuss 'Britney' Video

Whit Honea — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:11:00 GMT

You may have heard that Duran Duran have a video out ("Falling Down") that portrays a troubled starlet and her admission to rehab (no, no, no- sorry, I still love that song).

Roger Taylor tells People, "I suppose it's loosely based on her, but not [only] on one celebrity – just celebrity culture in general."

The song was co-written by Justin Timberlake. Make your own conclusions.

The video is below. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find this asylum and check-in.
