Teri Hatcher Likes to Gamble, Says It's to Teach Her Daughter Math

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher likes to hit the track every once in a while, but don't think she's just throwing her money away. Hatcher says she uses the outing to help daughter Emerson Rose, 11, with her math skills.

"I go to the track with my mother and my daughter,’ the actress says of her annual Mother's Day outing with Emerson and her own mom, Esther. ‘I do use the opportunity to make [Emerson] understand math, and what you’re betting and what you get back. This year, she did all the winning.

"I gave her a certain amount of dollar bills and she knew she had to divide them up by how many races there were, and figure out the odds…I made myself believe I was giving her math lessons. So we work on math. It’s fun."

I don't blame Teri - us moms have to get creative to justify our personal time. For example, I use my daily Starbucks runs to teach my daughters about caffeine addiction, and how to hone their people skills. You won't get that extra shot of espresso for free if you're mean to the barista.

Is Angelina Jolie Faking It?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:05:00 GMT

It was the bump heard 'round the world: Angelina Jolie suffered a head injury on Friday while performing a stunt on the set of her film Salt. But was the whole thing just a publicity stunt? A production assistant on the set says Angie definitely needs to have her head examined, but not for a physical injury.

According to the source, the actress' 'injury' was really just a way to get attention and publicity. “She hit her head lightly and there was no scratch evident,” the production assistant says. "There was absolutely no reason to take her to the hospital. She was whisked away as if she had just been shot. Everybody on the set thought this was a scene being filmed for the movie."

So why would she need any more attention - she's Angelina Jolie for crying out loud. Brad has been in the press frequently, often seen shuttling the couple's six kids around Long Island while mom is busy filming, so maybe it was Angie's way of getting back in the spotlight? Maybe Brad gave her a really crappy Mother's Day gift and this was her way of making him feel sorry for her? Perhaps she just wanted a little R&R and the idea of being away from the kids in a hospital bed with a 24-hour nurse sounded really good?

Or maybe she really did injure herself and those of us who doubt her are in for some really bad karma?

Tiger Woods, must be on cloud nine - of course because he won the U.S.Open, but more importantly because he's got a beautiful family with wife Elin and daughter Sam Alexis. I'm guessing he's a very, very happy man.

Enjoy the pics after the jump!

Tiger Woods: The US Open, Daughter Sam and Father's Day

Tiger Woods Wins - Now He's Hanging Up His Golf Clubs Forever?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 05:52:00 GMT

Winner of the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods, hugged his daughter, held up his trophy (for the third time no less!), said he didn't feel like playing golf anymore. "I'm glad I'm done. I'm done." What does that actually mean? Is he done for a few weeks, a few months or is he hanging up his golf clubs forever?

"I'm glad I'm done. I'm done." So much can be read into that statement, and it's hard for anyone to know what the 32-year-old pro is thinking, unless he tells us. Does he mean he'll play in The Buick Open in 2 weeks time?

Or perhaps he'll swing those clubs at The AT&T National in July? Maybe he'll be on the green in five weeks at The British Open? Hmm.

It's a very real possibility that he's packing away the golf gear and maybe the only clubs he'll be swinging are at minigolf with his daughter Sam Alexis.

Perhaps it has something to do with the arthroscopic surgery he had on his left knee. Maybe he's sick of golf? Maybe he wants to lay low and spend the rest of his days (I mean really, he's going to be 33 soon! Old!) lazing around, enjoying his wife and young daughter. Maybe he wants to make more babies?

Or maybe he'll be back, better than ever, you just never know. Regardless, congrats on your win!

Tiger Woods: The US Open, Daughter Sam and Father's Day

UPDATE: Tiger Woods Wins His Third U.S. Open Title

Whether or not Tiger Woods is on his way to his third U.S. Open title on Sunday one thing is for sure: he'll be savoring his first Father's Day as a dad to daughter Sam Alexis. Sam was born last year on June 18, the day after Father's Day.

Woods credits his daughter with helping him to recover from arthroscopic surgery on his knee that had him out of the game for two months.

“There’s no way I could have gotten through this without Sam being there,” Woods said. “Spending that much time off and away from training and trying to get better, Sam was absolutely incredible, and I had so much fun doing that. It took my mind away from the fact that I had a surgery done, and just watching her grow, walking, running now, it’s been just the greatest thing in the world.”

Father's Day will also be bittersweet for Woods, whose own father Earl passed away in 2006. But the elder Woods lives on in Sam, by virtue of her name. “My father had always called me Sam since the day I was born,” Tiger said in an interview last year. “He rarely ever called me Tiger. I would ask him, ‘Why don’t you ever call me Tiger?’ He says, ‘Well, you look more like a Sam.’ ”
