Babble Talk - Nina Planck

Whit Honea — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:59:00 GMT

All of that information you have on food? Chuck it. Nina Planck has a different take and it is not like anything you've heard before.

I'm talking the royal you here, not you personally. I'm sure you, personally, already know all the answers.

Nina sat down with Jacqueline Beach and discussed eating tuna while pregnant and giving salmon to babies. It's interesting stuff.

Billy Martin Craves Cravings

Whit Honea — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:58:00 GMT

Billy Martin of Good Charlotte is ready. His wife Linzi is pregnant and he knows that her late night cravings will be coming soon. He is ready to get them.

Turns out Linzi isn't craving anything.

Says Martin, "I keep telling my wife, 'Can I go get you something weird?'

"I want to eat ice cream at 1 o'clock in the morning. [The other] night she saw a commercial for chocolate chip cookies and I was like, 'Please send me to get them.' But she just said, 'We'll get them tomorrow.'"

Poor Billy Martin is being gipped out of his sympathy weight!

Their baby is due early next year.

New Daddy Matt Damon Brings Supplies to Haiti

Karl Erikson — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:37:00 GMT

Matt Damon, 37, took a trip out to war torn Haiti this weekend to help bring some relief from the terrible hurricanes, four of which have hit the country this season. Matt Damon went with singer Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti, and they handed out food bags and medicine to the many newly homeless residents. Hurricane Ike killed hundreds there.

Damon is encouraging everyone to help the United Nations raise more than $100 million in aid. "Hopefully, we can make enough noise that people will pay attention," he said. "I truly believe in the people of my country."

Damon, star of the popular Jason Bourne movie series, is married to Luciana Barroso. Together they have two girl, Isabella, 2, and Gia Zavala, who was just born last month. Damon is also a stepdaddy to Alexia from Luciana's previous marriage.

Matt has several movies slated for next year: "The Informant," "The Human Factor," and the as-of-yet unnamed Bourne 4.

New Dish for Chef Zilli

Whit Honea — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:49:00 GMT

Celebrity Chef Aldo Zilli and Nikki welcomed a baby daughter.

The named the little girl Twiggy. Yes, after the model.

Says Zilli, ""Twiggy is a style icon of mine from the 1960's and she still looks amazing as a grandmother.

"I hope my daughter looks as good at 30 as the real Twiggy does today!"

The name doesn't seem that strange to me, as I've grown callous to such things, but that part about his daughter seems a bit weird, doesn't it?

Little James Has Serious Questions For Parents SJP & Matthew Broderick

Sassy Smith — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:39:00 GMT

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's 5-year-old son James Wilkie has some serious questions for them - and I hope they have some serious answers for him!

SJP and Matthew are both smokers - although Matthew has given it up, he admits he falls off the wagon now and again and will light up. Matthew says that their bad habit will probably rub off on their young son - "[He's] already curious."

Monkey see, monkey do - pretty simple concept! Broderick adds, "I can just see the little budding gene of a smoker in here. He'll see a cigarette butt and say, 'What is that? Why do people smoke?'"

Matt says that Sarah is worse than he is, but admits he falls too, "I used to smoke cigarettes, and I still do, lately. I gave that up a long time ago, but every now and then I will fall off for a week."

Chief medical officer with the American Lung Association, Norman H. Edelman says it's likely that James Wilkie will be a smoker.

"Children of smokers are much more likely to become smokers themselves." Statistics show that more than 438,000 people die in the U.S. each year from smoking-related disease.

Okay, Sarah Jessica and Matthew - time to BUTT OUT! Yes, I'm a non-smoker and I don't get the attraction. I know it's an addiction but I suppose I'm too vain to even want to start - yellow teeth, smelly breath, hair and clothing just don't appeal to me. Not to mention cancer. Time to quit people! Off my soapbox now.

Keep asking your parents questions James!

Victoria Beckham Preparing For Pregnancy By Packing On The Pounds

Karen — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Posh Spice is looking to get pregnant and is hoping gal pal Eva Longoria can help her.

“Victoria has been a lot less fastidious about her weight recently. She and David are desperate to conceive and she knows she needs to put on a bit of weight in order to do so. She’s bumping up on the calories.

“Eva is Victoria’s closest friend in Los Angeles and she and David have been round to Eva’s for dinner on many occasions. Eva is proud of her Mexican heritage and considers herself an excellent cook.

“Victoria is a vegetarian and she flipped out over Eva’s cheese enchiladas. They are made with home-made corn tortillas and are very tasty, but hardly low-calorie.

“Eva serves them with rice and refried beans. Each serving is two enchiladas and she told me she was amazed because Victoria always eats at least one.”

Formerly surviving on a diet of edamame, seaweed protein shakes and strawberrie, Victoria is bypassing all the lo-cal options and chowing down.

Which Top Chef Welcomed a Top Baby?

Travel, if you will, to a land of faux-hawks and bickering where the critics are harsh and the waiting room is stocked with beer. Wait, that's my house.

Can you guess which Top Chef just welcomed a baby daughter?

It's Richard Blais! He and his wife Jazmine were joined by Riley Maddox on Thursday.

Congratulations!

Sarah Jessica Parker's Pregnancy News!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:06:00 GMT

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has something to tell us....

The Sex and the City star has been busy doing publicity spots for the movie, due for release later this month. Sarah Jessica and husband Matthew Broderick, and their 5-year-old son James Wilke, are planning some family down time after Sarah's schedule quiets down.

Matthew said, "In the summer, we'll leave town and we'll unwind and go to Long Island and probably Ireland. We're pretty open for the rest of the summer."

When asked if adding to their family is a possiblity, Matthew replied with, "I hope so!" SJP is on the same page. During her recent appearance on the Oprah Show, she said, "When James Wilke came out... I said, 'Oh my gosh, it's a boy!' The first thing I said after that was, 'I can't wait to do this again!'"

Perhaps Sarah and Matthew will be very busy this summer. *Wink*

Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex Talk

Sassy Smith — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Sarah Jessica Parker appeared on the Conan O'Brien show on Thursday night to promote her latest film Smart People and the celebrity mom got quite flustered.

Video after the jump!

Conan mentioned that Sarah isn't much like her Carrie Bradshaw character on Sex and the City, saying that she's not very comfortable talking to her friends about sex. Parker tried to explain why she avoids such intimate issues and she got flushed, turning red faced and said she has trouble even making general sexual references.

The married mom of one son said:

“I am not comfortable having any kind of intimate conversation at all… I don’t like the tone and I don’t like the subject. It’s not like I think others who do it are morally corrupt and vulgar and crass. I’m just simply embarrassed.“I don’t even want to think about what they’re talking about. And sometimes when I feel the landscape changes and all the heads move in, literally a friend will say ‘Oh wait, Sarah Jessica’s here.’ You know, and then they will talk about the primary or some other less ribald, salty, cheeky…”Conan O’Brien: “Even the way you’re talking about it, it’s clear you’re not comfortable. You’re using 18th century language! ‘This cheeky display of emotion between man and his lady!’”Sarah Jessica Parker: “Look I’m getting a rash… I wish I was inclined, because people love the topic, people like to be intimate…”

Parker has no problem with others talking about sex, she's just sorta shy about it!

Sarah Jessica Parker Isn't Afraid To Eat

Sassy Smith — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:32:00 GMT

Sarah Jessica Parker is, even after having a child, very slim. And she apparently eats everything!

Is Sarah one of these svelte people that claim to eat whatever the heck they want and yet never gain any weight or is she fibbing? Maybe she just has great genes?

Parker spoke to PEOPLE recently at a screening for her new film, Smart People, and she discussed some of her eating habits:

"I eat everything. I'm just an eater. If it's free, I honestly eat everything.

"Last night I had steak and some lamb shank. And I had some roasted chicken and some cassoulet and some profiteroles and some ice cream and some cheesecake." Lord, I've just gained five pounds typing this!

She continues, "I had two different tarts from Once Upon a Tart [in SoHo] and toast and a banana and a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. Oh yeah, and a glass of fresh orange juice." I stand corrected, I've gained 10 pounds typing this.

Sarah seems down to earth to me, so I'm thinking she's just one of those women who literally can eat whatever the hell they want and never gain an ounce. Sigh.

Attention Pregnant Women! Risotto Induces Labour!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:03:00 GMT

At least Halle Berry thinks so!

Halle gave birth on March 16 and she is sure that her daughter Nahla arrived on that day because she had eaten risotto!

Berry and her man Gabriel Aubry had dined at their favourite restaurant - Allegria - and the actress had the tasty Italian dish and later suffered with indigestion. A source said Halle was thinking, 'Uh oh, I shouldn't have eaten so much risotto,' and then she ended up in labour a short time later.

"Now she's convinced Allegria's special recipe got the ball rolling."

Pregnant, overdue ladies, go get your rice (or pasta, whichever you think it is) now!

Parenting and Cheetos: A Comparison

Whit Honea — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:14:00 GMT

I know, we've used pictures from this moment already, but come on, they're sweet. I was looking at this picture of Angelina Jolie with her daughters Zahara and Shiloh and their light dusting of Cheeto powder and thinking how it is generally accepted as cute, but had that been Britney and her boys we would have written three paragraphs about how her kids have been fed nothing but cheese puffs and Mountain Dew under her care and that K-Fed is therefor the second coming.

I don't claim to be a super parent, and I also don't expect Child Services anytime soon. Sometimes kids just need some Cheetos. Just ask my son:

So what does this say about me?

Keri Russell Breastfeeding at Leisure

Whit Honea — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:15:00 GMT

Apparently Keri Russell is the new Maggie Gyllenhaal. She has been breastfeeding her 9-month-old son River when and where she pleases with no concern for the asses, er, masses, around her. Oh, and she smells like patchouli and sweat. This is all according to a "source" in Star magazine, "I'm all for breast-feeding babies, but Keri just whips it out. It's just not appropriate in a cute little cafe.

"I wish she'd at least sit in a corner where she could be more discreet. It's kind of awkward. She smells kind of musty. I'm not sure if it's a hippie oil or a natural scent."

The nerve! Who does Keri Russell think she is, feeding her kid when other people are trying to eat? That's just inconsiderate. Doesn't that cute, little cafe have a bathroom with a stall door and a lock? Or maybe a dark alley with space available near a nice dumpster? At least then her stank would blend.

Not Your Everyday Italian: Pregnant Giada de Laurentiis at Mad Money Premiere

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:36:00 GMT

I'm sure chef Giada de Laurentiis is tired of hearing food-related pregnancy sayings, so I'll refrain from saying she's got a bun in the oven. De Laurentiis, seen here at the Mad Money premiere in Westwood, Calif. last night, is expecting her first child with husband Todd Thompson in April.

The Food Network star, who recently revealed that she is pregnant with a girl, told Redbook magazine that she hopes her daughter will share her love of cooking but she's not counting on it. "I hope I can pass on the love of food to my child the way my family did to me...But watch, I will probably end up with a child who not only doesn't care about food, but doesn't ever want to set foot in a kitchen!" she says.

Julia Roberts Speaks About Her Golden Globe Nomination and Going Potty

Karen — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 17:10:00 GMT

Julia Roberts was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Charlie Wilson's War, where she co-stars with Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

"Usually the triumph of my day is everybody making it to the potty," she told Matt Lauer on the Today show this morning. "So yes, I think it's thrilling."

Roberts speaks highly of her co-stars: "Both of them are great. Philip is – he just kind of blows my mind a little bit. …Tom is probably the most honest person on screen and off screen that I've ever spent time with acting wise, he's just amazing."

On her 3 year old twins & Christmas: "just starting to figure out Christmas and the specific holiday."

On holiday traditions she will be passing down to the twins and 6 month old Henry: "It's a good food holiday in our house. So, I think, you know, the baking we do, the cookies with the icing."

Anthony Bourdain Is All Rainbows And Unicorns And Sharp, Sharp Knives

HerBadMother — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Have I mentioned before that I have a massive crush on Anthony Bourdain? I do. I adore him and his cursing and his drinking and his cigarettes and his fine way around a Coq au Vin or Roulade of Wild Pheasant, not to mention his deft hand with a Rachael Ray smackdown.

Well, apparently the cigarettes are now past tense, since the birth of his daughter, Ariane, now 7 months old. He says that he had to quit because it just became too difficult to carry on the habit when he was banned from smoking in the family home. In any case, he adds, his whole world has changed: I've got a daughter now, I'm living in pink world. It's all rainbows and unicorns from here on out.

Sure it is, Tony. But I'm betting that those unicorns get turned into Licorne au Vin or Cassoulet du Licorne or Licorne au Poivre pretty quick, no?

Alec Baldwin is Tired of Fat People

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 23:07:00 GMT

Remember when Alec Baldwin called his own daughter a pig? Who knew it was tough love? Apparently Baldwin thinks all of our kids are fat and the culprit is cheese. Yes, cheese. WTF?

You mean this whole time that I've been giving my kids string cheese instead of candy crack I've actually been part of the problem? Next thing you know I won't be allowed to pair it with a nice wine. That's just bullshit.

Says Alec in a letter to Hillary Clinton urging her to vote 'No' on a bill that would provide billions of dollars in subsidies to farmers:

"As you are well aware, the epidemic of childhood obesity is worsening day by day, leading to higher risks of diabetes, heart disease and several forms of cancer. I know that you share my concern about this crucial issue."

"As a parent, I see firsthand the challenges of keeping children focused on healthful foods. These challenges are made all the more difficult by federal policies that keep high-cholesterol, high-sugar foods all too plentiful in schools. ... There has never been a more urgent time to take action."

I understand where Baldwin is coming from, really I do. Obesity is a huge problem (no pun intended, but I'll take it). I just don't know that Baldwin's cry to the left to cut support of American farmers is the right way to fight it. Why not boycott M&M's (not the peanuts, those are healthy) or take federal funding away from carnies. Carnies get federal funding, right? Cotton candy and funnel cakes have got to be a bigger problem than cheese. I hope.

Jessica Seinfeld Knows the Way to Oprah's Heart is Through Her Feet

Whit Honea — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 17:11:00 GMT

Jessica Seinfeld knows books and bees. Her husband Jerry has the Bee Movie opening soon, after 8 years of commercials and teasers. Jessica has a sneaky little cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. It's good times in the Seinfeld hive.

Jessica has really landed on her feet. Oprah hasn't pimped a book and its author this hard since James Frey.

So how do you thank the richest woman in the world for helping you out? Shoes of course. It's gotta be shoes.

$18,000 worth of shoes to be exact.

Hey, Seinfeld, I'm pimping your book too. I wear a size 12.

Babble Talk: Jessica Seinfeld is a Sneaky Cook

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Jessica Seinfeld was interviewed by Gwynne Watkins for Babble regarding her new book Deceptively Delicious. The wife of Jerry Seinfeld talks about sneaking food that is good for you into food that tastes good. You know, sneaky shit. Those picky kids need to eat something healthy.

For instance, she puts vegetables in brownies. We used to do that to. Pot is a vegetable, right?

I won't even talk about mushrooms on pizza.

Hey, whatever it takes. It's got to be better than gnawing on lead toys or eating aqua dots. I won't even go into bindeez. Whatever happened to good old spinach dip and potato salad? That's like vegetables. Don't kids eat anything besides junk and recalled toys?

Anthony Bourdain To Rachael Ray: Stop Dealing Crack To Kids, Bitch

HerBadMother — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:03:00 GMT

Anthony Bourdain on Rachael Ray's endorsement deal with Dunkin' Donuts:

She’s hugely influential, particularly with children. And she’s endorsing Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s like endorsing crack for kids.”

He adds: “I’m not a very ethical guy. I don’t have a lot of principles. But somehow that seems to me over the line. Juvenile diabetes has exploded. Half of Americans don’t have necks. And she’s up there saying, ‘Eat some [bleeping] Dunkin’ Donuts. You look great in that swimsuit - eat another doughnut!’ That’s evil.”

I love Anthony Bourdain. That he's bitch-slapping Rachael Ray's convenience-food-lovin' ass across the mediasphere makes me love him even more. I'd go so far as to say that I love him so mcuh that I want to have his babies - adorable little chain-smoking wise-ass babies - if it weren't for the fact that my husband would probably protest. Probably.

The thing is, that shit could happen. I bet she would scratch the eyes out of some saucy bovine.

Okay, she's actually at some fashion crap (the Conde Nast Fashion Rocks Concert at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall), and that carpet is actually really red. She didn't skin a cow or make the ~~curtains~~ dress. Fine, I admit it.

I'm standing by the udders though. Or as close as she'll let me.
