Bedtime was a Goodtime for Keri Russell

Everyone wants to be able to take their kids to work and have them see the things you do and the person you are at work. The set of Bedtime Stories was very kid-friendly and she took River to work often.

Keri Russell says she had a great time working with all the boys on the set of Bedtime Stories.

She said, “Everybody had kids there, so it was really fun. One of the babies would stop by and everybody would stop and play with the kids — it was really like that. An elephant was on the set one day, and everybody brought their kids and took pictures with the elephant. Or I was dressed as a mermaid one day, and all the kids took pictures with me as a mermaid.”

Oh my, it sounds like it was a lot of fun. I don't think that my kids enjoy my work environment. It's definitely not as fun as Keri's.

Best Mom Quote All Week

"Sometimes I end up having to wipe my son's nose on my shirt, so it can't be silk and cost $800."

Can you guess which practical Hollywood/New York mama said that?

It was none other than River's mom, Keri Russell.

How many times have you thought the same thing about some of the clothes you see celebrities wear?

Tom Cruise is Down to Earth and Apparently a Bit of a Liar

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:05:00 GMT

In spite of his millions, his private jets, his mansions and his movie star wife, Tom Cruise insists he is a simple man. No, really. "I wear jeans, socks and a shirt - all totally normal. I get my hair cut on set. I have no iPhone, no mobile, no email address, no watch, no jewelry, no wallet." Judging by this statement, I expect to see Cruise living among the Amish, wife Katie in a bonnet by his side as they pull up to their movie premiere in a pony-powered buggy.

But wait - this photo was taken last Monday during Cruise's appearance on TRL and what's that wrapped around his wrist? Could that be the battery-operated time-telling device that Tom claims has no place in his life? I'm thinking that after this shot was taken, Tom got on his iPhone to his agent, told him to forward his contracts to his email, and then pulled out his wallet to throw hundred-dollar bills to the crowd. I'll bet he's lying about the socks, too.
