Heroes' Greg Grunberg's Son Greatly Improved After Brain Surgery

Karl Erikson — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:36:00 GMT

For 12-year-old Jake Grunberg, son of "Heroes" star Greg Grunberg, epilepsy has been a part of his world for a long time. And coming upon puberty created many new problems with the disease for Jake.

Greg says, "Puberty screwed up levels of gauging whether his drugs were working or not. He was having more seizures, hundreds a day."

But thanks to some amazing brain surgery, Jake is doing much better off with his epilepsy now. "They removed the part of the brain that has the most epilepsy activity," Greg told People magazine. "Now Jake is only having a little tiny episode once every three weeks. To me, that's a home run. We never thought that was possible."

Now Greg has created a new epilepsy awareness web site, talkaboutit.org. "When we first discovered Jake had epilepsy," Greg says, "we went online, and all you discover is horror stories. Talkaboutit.org is a place where you can get information and you don't feel alone."

Chock full of stars such as Jack Black and Jennifer Garner, the site is chock full of great info, including ways you can get involved in the fight.

Go now and check it out. Greg will know if you've been there. He reads minds, remember?

Enrico Colantoni Misses Family While Filming Flashpoint

Karl Erikson — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:34:00 GMT

Enrico Colantoni, best known as Veronica Mars' daddy, loves being part of the new hit series "Flashpoint," but it does require some sacrifices. The show is filmed in Enrico's home country - Canada - but his family stay in their home in Los Angeles. Because of school, kids Quintin (11) and Madelyn (8) stay back at home.

Fortunately, for Enrico, he returns home next month to wife Nancy and the fam. "I miss my kids," he says. "I know I'm going to go back in February, which makes it a lot more endurable." While he's away, 45-year-old Enrico stays in touch with Skype.

He talks about costar Amy Jo Johnson, too. Amy Jo is a new mom to Francesca Christine, 7 weeks. Enrico says Amy Jo will be returning to the show soon. "Her baby is absolutely the most beautiful thing," he says. "Something happens in the fourth episode [of Flashpoint] of this season that will sort of explain where things stand with Amy Jo. Anyone schooled in the ways of television knows how it works - the actress is pregnant, and then something happens, and the character conveniently disappears for a while."

Details: Keri Russell Strips Down

Sassy Smith — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 14:04:00 GMT

Keri Russell is showing off her post-baby body in the December issue of Details magazine, but I'm not sure what to think of the photos. Remember Keri as the girl-next-door in Felicity? And those gorgeous curls? The new pics are a far cry from that...in fact, they're sort of creepy....

More pics after the jump (slightly NSFW)!

Russell has always been petite but seriously, the girl needs to eat a burger! And the, um, smudged eye makeup and the 'I've been on a drunken four-day bender look', just plain not sexy. Didn't Kate Moss try to capture this look years ago? Didn't work then, doesn't work now.

And the one with the teddy bear - uh, what. the. hell? These are photos that won't be able to go in the family album.

Keri is starring in a 'family-friendly' movie put out by Walt Disney Pictures (have they seen these photos?) titled Bedtime Stories, in which she is partnered with Adam Sandler. She says, "It's funny and it's a movie that kids can see (unlike mommy's photos!). But it's still got Adam's crazy sense of humor. It's not totally nicey-nice."

The 32-year-old was able to bring her son to work with her, which is great!

Adam said of Keri, "Working with Keri was the best. She would bring her son to the set to play with my daughter. She also taught me all the dances from her days as a Mouseketeer. Plus, every day at lunch we'd have a curly-hair competition, and I would win - except on humid days." I love Adam Sandler -he's so adorable!

Keri and husband Shane live in New York with 18-month-old River Russell.

Keri Russell's First Christmas in Brooklyn

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:35:00 GMT

Felicity star Keri Russell is getting ready to celebrate her first Christmas in Brooklyn with husband Shane Deary and son River Russell, 17 months. And together they'll be creating all sorts of new Christmas family traditions. "This is our first real Christmas," Keri said. "We had one last year but River was such a baby, so this is the first year that he's older and can run around."

"River is very cute. He's very sweet, just a mild-mannered guy. He's definitely a boy, loves playing with trucks, being with his dad."

Keri is starring in the new Adam Sandler movie "Bedtime Stories," which comes out on Christmas day. Balancing motherhood with a career can be hard. "I'm working on it," she says. "It's just an everyday process. You just take it a day at a time."

Sassy Smith — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:09:00 GMT

Want to get pregnant? Move to Hollywood! I swear the celebrities have some sort of secret to getting knocked up, uh, well, besides the usual way. We thought 2007 was a big baby boom in Tinseltown, but 2008 is proving to be just as busy! So who's preggo now?

"Julie Emrich" from TV show Felicity, played by actress Amy Jo Johnson has confirmed to PEOPLE that she and her fiance Olivier Giner are expecting their first child in the fall. Amy Jo is currently filming a new CBS show, Flashpoint and it premieres July 11.

Keri Russell's Little Mohawked Man

HerBadMother — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:31:00 GMT

Keri Russell is a total cutie-pie, but I gotta say: in this photo? She looks a bit like a middle-aged hippy. Which, fine, nothing wrong with that (although, really, she should rethink the hat.)

In any case, it doesn't matter. who's looking at Keri when there's that adorable little Mohawked munchkin dangling in front of her. An adorable little Mohawked munchkin who looks like he HATES orange juice.

Just you wait 'til you meet VODKA, buddy. Reserve judgement until then.

Keri Russell Talks Babies, Sex Scenes and Paying Her Mortgage

Sassy Smith — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 13:05:00 GMT

Keri Russell, the star of Felicity and famous for her long, curly mane, has done some growing up since her hit tv show ended and all of the criticism she endured after she cut her hair.

Russell, 31 and new mom to her almost six-month old son, River, has more important things to worry about than her hair these days. She says in an interview at the Four Seaons Hotel in Beverly Hills, "There is something weird that I feel happens that noone told me about, which is that the day you have the baby you take a crazy pill. You get crazy about anything having to do with children-and it doesn't have to be your own child."

She says it's a good crazy though. “I was watching Finding Nemo on video, and I sobbed. I could not pull myself together, and that was at the beginning of the movie! My husband was like, ‘Should we turn this off?’ ”

Russell makes her home in Brooklyn, New York, but is on the West Coast for a publicity blitz for her new movie, August Rush and Waitress, which is now out on DVD. Waitress is a bittersweet success story. Writer-director Adrienne Shelly was murdered in her New York City office before the movie’s release date—by a construction worker who reportedly confessed to killing her after she complained about the noise he was making in an apartment below her.

Keri remembers when she first met Shelly. “I met her in a diner in New York. I think I had waffles, and we just talked about the script…I told her how funny and touching I thought it was.”

About the audition, “She made me audition at her apartment. It was really awkward—just me and her and a video camera.”

Next thing she knew, Russell was lying in a bed with Sisto for a scene in which her character reluctantly gives in to her husband’s pathetic begging for some carnal attention. “There’s a shot that, when I look, I can fully see myself laughing because Jeremy was being so disgusting and gross. Not gross in the way you think." She wouldn't elaborate what she meant though.

Keri would love to leave Hollywood sometimes, but then her reality sets in. “I do think about moving and having some land and having like five kids,” she says. “And we would just be like, ‘Okay, this year, we’ll make and sell cheese. But I’ve been in this world too long to know that you need money. I just bought a house. I ain’t gonna be taking off anytime soon. I’ve got a mortgage to pay!”

Keri Russell Goes Slingless

Whit Honea — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 01:04:00 GMT

Sling low, sling Keri Russell. That's what I would have said on a typical Keri Russell day, but behold, no sling!

What's the dealy-o? I guess Keri decided to give the sling a break and maybe work out a different set of back muscles.

I bet she's whispering about how observant I am. I get that a lot.

Keri Russell and her son River were spotted at LAX. Man, River is getting pretty big. Pretty cute too.

I would say that sling has paid for itself by now.
