Lars Ulrich's Kids Now Think He's Awesome

Josh loposer — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is enjoying a newfound level of respect from his kids now that he's been immortalized as a character in one of the most iconic games of a generation: Guitar Hero.

Sure, Liev Schreiber may have a 7-Eleven Slurpee cup action figure -- and that might get you pretty far with a 2-year-old -- but doesn't even begin to compare with the coolness factor of being a star of one of your child's favorite video games. Lars' appearance in Guitar Hero: Metallica has apparently had a profound effect on the respect he gets from his little ones: Layne, 8, and Myles, 10 and a half.

“In the age of spending a lot of time forcing them to finish their vegetables and do their home work and get to school on time, [that] dad actually has his own video game certainly helps. And will continue to help into adolescence!”

Ulrich's youngest, 23-month-old Bryce Thadeus is a little too young to get in on the digitized guitar shredding that goes on in the Ulrich playroom. Luckily, he's also a little too young to start rolling his eyes when dad's being totally lame.

Metallica: The Next Generation

Josh loposer — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Metallica frontman James Hetfield's kiddos show that heavy metal runs in the family bloodlines.

Last Weekend, James and his wife Francesca rolled up to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's 2009 induction ceremony with their three kids Cali, 10, Castor, 8, and Marcella, 7 -- all of whom have obviously been groomed in the ways of rock by their father.

The reason the whole family piled into the leer jet and flew out to Cleveland was to watch daddy's band Metallica get inducted into the Hall of rock glory. Congratulations to the band are in order, they've been shredding for 28 years now. Wow.

"I never thought much about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until we were approached to induct Black Sabbath in 2006, and then they asked us to play, which was like, 'OK ... we will!' " Hetfield laughed, talking to MTV News shortly before taking the stage for a "secret" SXSW Metallica set. "So we were there, and then they were saying, 'You know, you guys are up for this in a few years.' And I went, 'Wow, really?' And I started doing the math ... 'OK, 25 years after our first record ... yeah, it's now.' And my first thought was 'Man, it's gone by very quickly.' "

Metallica's New Album Fueled By Children

Karl Erikson — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:33:00 GMT

Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Rob Trujillo of Metallica have a new album coming out on September 12 and the music is definitely going to be different. These days, the heavy metal rockers are all fathers and so Metallica's lyrics won't be about the fast rocking times any more. Instead, family is the new fuel for their music.

Lars' 10-yr-old son, Myles, loves Guitar Hero. "He's digging on Sabbath and Deep Purple and all the music I loved as a kid," says Lars, who is also a father to 7-yr-old Layne with ex-wife Skylar Satenstein, and 15-mos-old Bryce Thadeius with his girlfriend, Connie Nielsen.

James Hetfield has daughters Cali Tee, 10, and Marcella Francesca, 6...plus an 8-yr-old son, Castor, with his wife, Francesca. Kirk Hammett has two sons, Angel Ray (22 mos) and Vincenzo Kainalu (9 weeks) with his wife Lani. And Rob Trujillo has a 2-yr-old son, Tai Orion, and baby daughter, Lula, with his wife Chloe.

Wonder if they're covering "Row, Row, Row Your Boat?" The name of their new album is called "Death Magnetic."

Carmen Electra To Moms - Have Your "Sexiness Kit" Ready

Sassy Smith — Mon, 12 May 2008 15:39:00 GMT

While Carmen Electra has been the talk of pregnancy rumors, she's not yet a mother but she's giving moms advice on how to keep things spicy with their partners. This should be good, get out your paper and pen, you know, if you're not too tired from looking after your kids.

Carmen was recently engaged, uh, again, this time to Korn guitarist Rob Patterson and she really wants to start a family. But keep in mind again, she's not a mom yet. Electra spoke with Cosmopolitan and said that women should always be prepared for sex - even if that means keeping a "sexiness kit" at work or in the car. In the car? Like in the baby's diaperbag? Or maybe in the trunk with the 29 bags of groceries? Or in little Tommy's backback?

Anyway, here's what moms should keep in their "kits": Perfume, lip gloss and a pair of heels. She adds, "Being flirty is a way of letting a guy know you're interested (in him) without making a fool of yourself."

So listen up mommies - when the baby is crying, your toddler pooped in his underwear, the Kraft dinner is burning, your school age child has 5 pages of homework and you have 18 loads of laundry to wash, dry, fold and put away, and you're not sure if you showered today - be sure to take out those heels and slap on some lip gloss. Get your flirt on!

Just wait until Carmen has kids - she'll see, she'll see.

Slash Is One Smart Dad

Sassy Smith — Sun, 11 May 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash, who is currently lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver, is by all accounts, a very smart dad. Why?

Slash was a proud owner of 80 snakes, which consisted of mostly deadly pythons and boas, and they lived with him at his home. He decided that perhaps he should get rid of them as they weren't the best pet for his first born son and had fears that one or more could escape and find it's way into his baby's nursery. Brilliant!

The rocker told Britain's Mojo magazine that he was "quite relieved" to let his pets go. "Feeding them all by myself had become a bit of a job. I missed the old days when it was just a matter of finding a couple of dead rats around the corner."

Smart thinking dad. See?

Slash has two sons, London Emilio and Cash Anthony with wife Perla Ferrar.

Sassy Smith — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:02:00 GMT

Is there something in the water around here or what? Kimberly Stewart, daughter of singer Rod Stewart wants to do the bedroom tango with both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

"I'd really like to wake up between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie," she tells Live. They are the two most attractive people in the world. I really wouldn't mind that start to the day at all. Would I prefer Brad's side or Angelina's side? Actually I'd really like to be in the middle."

Um, okay. This is coming from a chick who gave her old breast implants to Jack Osbourne, son of rocker, Ozzy Osbourne, as a framed gift, so make of it what you will. I guess she's looking for a Jolie-Pitt sandwich. Chow down!
