P.S. Sara Gilbert and Levi Target The Arts

trix — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:33:00 GMT

Sara Gilbert and her son Levi joined in the fun at the P.S. ARTS "Express Yourself 2008" shin dig.

Do you think the education programs of any of the kids in attendance is in jeopardy of losing their art programs. I don't think so either. I do appreciate the fact that they are all out there in support of us and our kids. I know it looks good for them to, so I'm not super excited, but every little bit helps.

I never really noticed how much Sara Gilbert looks like Elijah Wood until I saw this picture, minus the blue eyes of course.

Claudia Schiffer Walks To School

trix — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:31:00 GMT

Claudia Schiffer took her son Casper to school in London. My goodness, I want my sons to go to that school just for the uniforms and perhaps the education. I really want them to go there because of the education. I'm sure that the education there is much better than the education here is California. Actually, I think that any school has better education programs than us here in California.

He's too cute, and she's looking drop dead gorgeous as usual.

Christian Slater Does Right By His Kids

Karl Erikson — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 21:32:00 GMT

Talk about being a good father. Christian Slater was so set on proving the importance of education to his kids that he went back to school to get his GED. Slater, 39, has a couple of kids with his ex, Ryan Haddon. 9-year-old son Jaden and 7-year-old daughter Eliana considered it odd that their father didn't graduate from high school. Thing is, Christian was far too busy being a child star to get his diploma...well, that's not entirely true. There are lots of child stars who still go to school and graduate with honors. Christian just didn't deem education very important in his youth.

But the last thing you want as a parent is for your kids to repeat your mistakes. So the star of movies like "True Romance" and "Pump Up the Volume" (great soundtrack) went back to school. He told Parade magazine, "I wanted to be able to look my kids in the eye and feel they were looking in the eyes of somebody who was making an effort to take care of himself and be a better person.

"High school was not something that I remotely took seriously, and not I've got these kids, so it's like, 'Oh, gosh, what am I going to do? I obviously care for them to get an education, and I want them to take it seriously, so I'm going to have to do something.' I had to go to a high school lassroom with a bunch of kids getting their GED (General Equivalency Diploma). It was a 3-day test. I did very well on the reading portions of it. I was very proud of that."

Dude, you're an actor. Of COURSE you did well on reading! Pretty admirable thing to do, though. We must be good examples for our children. That's why I write snarky shit about celebrities, so my girls can look up to me and say, "They PAY you for that?"

"My Own Worst Enemy" is Christian's latest acting endeavor and it starts Monday on NBC. I'm looking forward to it, but the advance buzz isn't so great. I'm praying to the great TV gods it doesn't suck.

How about you? Are you going to watch?

Sir Bob Geldof and Bill Clinton Team Up To Aid African Education Project

Karen — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:32:00 GMT

Sir Bob Geldof and Bill Clinton have launched an education project for Africa to the tune of $9.4 MILLION dollars!

The aim of the project is to provide more access to schools for 1.2 million children in Malawi and Rwanda.

The money will go towards the building of four new training centres and 4,000 teachers to help give African kids a better start in life.

Clinton says, "We are trying to make a hole in the huge need Rwanda and Malawi have for primary teachers."

Geldof adds, "It's what Live 8 was all about."

Sounds like a very worthy cause!

Celine Dion's Son is the Envy of School Children Everywhere

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Céline Dion is taking her son, Rene Charles, 7, on her world tour with her. That means he'll be missing around six months of school, which is the dream of every second-grader in the world. Of the classes he'll miss Céline says, “This kind of experience is about as good an education as you can get in school.”

My kids heard about this and wouldn't stop bugging me to do the same, so I finally gave in and took them out of school, too. Now they'll be spending the next six months in my office watching me blog. They're going to learn tons.

Freckleface Strawberry aka Julianne Moore

Sassy Smith — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:03:00 GMT

What could be cuter than a red headed, freckle faced girl (and no I'm not biased because I am one, ha)? Julianne Moore has penned a, semi autobiographical book, called Freckleface Strawberry.

Moore was in New York City to read her new children's book, at J. Crew on Thursday. She said that as a young child of 7, living in Omaha, other kids used to call her the nickname, Freckleface Strawberry and that she hated it. I kinda like it! As a kid, I was called "red headed woodpecker", "big red and/or little red", "carrot top" and other crappy "red head" nicknames. I would totally take "Freckleface Strawberry" over the stupid ones I got.

Julianne said she wrote the book because she's always loved reading books as a kid. She spent alot of time reading while growing up because she and her family moved so much. She's always thought of herself as a reader rather than a writer so she's enjoying a world that she was always such a fan of.
