Elton John & Partner David Furnish To Be Dads?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:06:00 GMT

Singer Elton John, 62, and his partner David Furnish, 46 - who have been together for nearly 16 years, and were joined in a civil partnership in 2005 - are godparents to 10 children. Would the couple ever consider having children of their own?

Probably not. They are content with their lives and they're both really busy.

David said to PEOPLE, "I don't think our lives are suited to raising children. We're busy flying places all the time.

"Elton is not really going to come off the road. We don't want to put the raising of children into the hands of nannies and housekeepers. We want to be active parents. We have godchildren [and] kids that we support in Africa, so we're fine."

Elton and John are godfathers to the children of Victoria & David Beckham and actress Elizabeth Hurley.

Daddy News For John Mayer

Sassy Smith — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:35:00 GMT

Daddy news for singer John Mayer? Wow, he and Jen are moving fast....

....except he's not going to be that kind of daddy, at least not that I'm aware of - yet. I get your hopes up quite a bit, only to dash them. My apologies. Anyway, Mayer is reportedly being considered to be godfather to Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's baby.

Pete and John have become quite the buddies, this, according to their respective blogs. I've not read them, and probably never will. But luckily a "source" has something to say about the matter.

"Pete and John have been spending a lot of time together lately and they get on so well.

"They are firm friends. John gets a bad rap and is always portrayed as a bad boy but he's got a heart of gold. Pete and Ashlee know that and they think he would make a great godparent."

However, there's a slight snag. Snag as in Jessica, Ashlee's big sis. Ya, see? She and John used to have sex and that might make things a tad aaaawkward.

The source continued, "But they are holding back asking him at the moment because they are not sure how Ashlee's sister Jessica would feel about her ex having such a strong link to her new niece."

Oh the celebrity drama!

Emo baby is due in late fall, by "rumored C-section" because Ashlee is scared of natural childbirth. Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it.

George Clooney Hates Kids. Yes, Yours Too.

George Clooney on why he'll never have children, no matter how many Vegas waitresses ovulate at him:

"Even one kid running around my villa makes me nervous, so I'm definitely not a candidate for father of the year. If I need to surround myself with children and feel like I have this big extended family, I can always call Brad and Angie and ask them to stay with me, just to remind myself why I'm so happy."

How big is his villa? 30, 40 thousand square feet? I would forget that I had a kid entirely if we had that space. So if the mere presence of Brangie's brood - which, even at the half-dozen count, would disappear entirely in his mega-villa - reminds him of why he's so happy to not be a sperminator, well... he sure don't like kids.

George Clooney: No Godparenting, But Hopefully the Presents Will Still Rock

HerBadMother — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:29:00 GMT

George Clooney, unlike Tom Cruise, isn't desperate to be a godfather. That doesn't mean, however, that he's not above pulling a good prank about it.

Last week's rumor that Clooney would be godfather to the expected twins of Brad Pitt and Angelina was, apparently, based on a joke. Clooney reportedly told paparazzi outside a Los Angeles restaurant that he had been asked by the celebrity couple to be godfather to their child, but his rep said that the Leatherheads star was only kidding. “He was just having a joke,” said the rep.

Which, good. There seems to be altogether too much aspirational godparenting going on in Hollywood, which, being an entirely godless place, seems hypocritical in the extreme. Maybe if they could just come up with another name for the role of Important Celebrity Sponsor Of And Gift-Provider To Other Celebrity's Offspring. 'Executive Producer,' maybe?

Princess Kalina (Barely) Resists Devouring Son Alive; Husband Kitin Still Tempted by Yummy Baby Fingers

BadKitty — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 14:11:00 GMT

No one panic, but we have a Homely Goth Alert, Terror Level: Ren-Faire. Princess Kalina's n'eyebrows and blood clot lipstick, plus the fresh-from-the-grave complexion of her husband, "noted" humanitarian Kitin Munoz, just scream "We will harvest the baby's plasma!" This ~~devil spawn sacrificial ceremony~~ family portrait is just one black velvet cape away from Terror Level: Cure Concert.

It kind of looks like they are at a christening for little Simeon Hassan, but what mere mortal could fulfill godparenting duties to this family? Paging Anne Rice and Angelina Jolie! Wear your prettiest vial of blood, we need witnesses for a ritual! (Actually, maybe don't invite Angie, you know how grabby she gets around foreign kids.)
