Celebrity Hero

There are a lot of heroes being talked about today, let's not forget the children.

Think of the kids at Droolicious! Especially the famous kids.

Matthew Fox is Getting Out of Town

trix — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:32:00 GMT

I'm so excited for "Lost" to start up again, aren't you? It feels like it has been a long off season for the show.

In between filming episodes of "Lost" Matthew is concentrating on passing his love of cars to his son Byron. Matthew has always loved cars and was tickled pink that his son wanted to dress up as Racer X for Halloween last year.

That's funny, I love cars too! We have so much in common, it's a sign. *sigh*

I hope that he is passing on his love of cars to his daughter as well. I loved working on cars with my dad.

Matthew and his family are planning on moving to Oregon soon. He and his wife, Margherita want to raise their kids in the mountain air and be closer to his family.

They must be getting island fever by now.

Elisabeth Röhm Does the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:28:00 GMT

Elisabeth Röhm of "Law and Order" fame attended the Boom Boom Room in Century City, CA over the weekend.

Röhm has a nine-month-old daughter named Easton.

The Boom Boom Room is "Hollywood’s most famous families - expecting parents, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and their offspring - visit a gifting suite wonderland built by 83 sponsors. This event draws celebrity families together to support Los Angeles area Foster Children and the Jayneoni Moore Children’s Fund."

Joely Fisher and the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:07:00 GMT

If the Boom Boom Room was a golf course then Joely Fisher would have been in my foursome. It seemed like the two of us, our children, Heather Christie, and Kenny Johnson (with his lovely, pregnant wife), were always in the same area. That's a big foursome.

Joely Fisher was great. She posed for pictures with the vendors and made small-talk with my boys. It's like she didn't even care that I was famous, which was really refreshing.

Fisher, Christie and Johnson were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

Celebrity Kid Wear Hulk Shirt - Make Hulk Famous

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:27:00 GMT

What puny celebrity let kid show Hulk on happy kid? Hulk not happy, hulk mad. Hulk not wear shirt. Hulk rip shirt into pieces like puny Chuck Norris.

But I digress.

Go to Droolicious and find out more. No smashing.

Tony Gonzalez is a Hero

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Tony Gonzalez is on pace to be among the best, if not the best, tight ends of all time. Tight end is a football position and any resemblance to his ass is purely coincidence- and no, I'm not going to look.

Gonzalez was eating dinner in Hunnington Beach with his wife, his brother and his baby daughter when a patron at the next table started choking. This wasn't just heavy coughing and watery eyes choking, this was the everyone freezes and/or freaks-out kind of choking, like in the movies.

The choking man, Ken Hunter, had a piece of meat lodged in his throat and his dining companion started yelling, "He can't breathe, he can't breathe."

Gonzalez, who has never been trained in the Heimlich maneuver, realized that nobody else was going to act so he "jumped to his feet, wrapped his long, sinewy arms around the stricken man and began to squeeze. After a few seconds, the meat popped out and Hunter, a shipping company manager in Huntington Beach, recovered."

After the incident Hunter told the media, "Tony saved my life."

The story was so big that Gonzalez received a letter from President Bush (he can write?) and was even approached by Barack Obama at a campaign stop to discuss the heroics.

From the NFL:

"I never anticipated what an impact this would have," said Gonzalez, who arrived in River Falls on Thursday for the Chiefs' training camp.

"But now, looking back, I think with all the negative stuff that's in the media these days about NFL players and athletes in general, when a story like that comes out, it really grabs people's attention. I know it was an incredible situation the way it came down. I believe things happen for a reason. Hopefully, there'll be a domino affect."

Chiefs president Carl Peterson was traveling in Europe when his star tight end made news off the football field.

"Nothing surprises me about the abilities of Tony Gonzalez," Peterson said. "Thank God he was there, in the right place at the right time and reacted the way he did. The story was all over the world."

Shortly afterward, Peterson happened to run into Steve Tisch, part owner of the New York Giants, in France.

"We hugged each other and right away he said, `Hey, how about your tight end saving that guy's life?"'

Good for Tony Gonzalez and lucky for Ken Hunter, kind of pathetic for everyone else in the restaurant.

Suri: Not Trying to Hear That, See

Whit Honea — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:29:00 GMT

In the immortal words of Positive K:

Aiyyo sweetie, you're lookin' kinda pretty
What's a girl like you, doin' in this rough city?

Yes, that was deep.

Suri doesn't look like she wants to hear what Katie Holmes is selling. I'm very familiar with that.

Please note the look on Katie's face. That is the "I'm smiling and speaking in soft, sing-song tones, but my words are full of pending consequence" face. I'm also very familiar with that.

I'm usually on the Suri end of that conversation.

Katie Holmes Almost Nude

Whit Honea — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 21:08:00 GMT

Katie Holmes must be getting sick of all the talk about her being the Jayna to Tom Cruise's Zan. They may look like the Wonder Twins from the head up, but Kate wants to remind everyone that from the neck down she's all woman and she ain't gleekin' around.

That was some awesome Super Friends material there if I do say so myself.

I can't tell if Holmes is wearing a shirt or if she has on that artsy body paint I'm always ~~looking at~~ hearing about.

Also of note, are we looking at an outie, a piercing or a nubin?

One thing is certain, she isn't pregnant.

Mariah Carey Wants A Baby Now

trix — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:31:00 GMT

Mariah Carey wants to be a mommy, and Nick Cannon is the guy she's picked to be the daddy. Shall we run screaming to the hills now or wait and watch how it all unfolds?

Mimi's ready to have a baby or two and at 38 she and Nick Cannon, 27,bikinis, mom to be need to get a move on. Though there are a ton of women having kids later in life, it doesn't mean that it gets easier as you get older.

In a recent interview with US Magazine Mariah dropped some knowledge on us all about raising kids, and which environments are conducive to them being brought up with good morals and values that are going to be the basis of who you are and if you do anything meaningful in your life. Oh I apologize,that was supposed to be my post about Jamie Lynn.

What she really said was, "You can get caught up in Hollywood-land or celebrity-land, and that's maybe not the best thing for kids, 'cause they didn't ask for it. I really feel like it's important to be responsible and to think, "Well, maybe if I do this it's not the best thing for my child". You have to take a backseat a little bit, and as someone in the public eye, you're not used to doing that."

I know she meant well but, WOW. I sometimes wish I took a "little" backseat to my kids instead of them always coming first. Darn my parents for raising me right. (right, is always subject to opinion and my way is not always the right way, I know)

Robert Downey, Jr., and Son: What's Wrong with This Picture?

Whit Honea — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:11:00 GMT

Can you spot what is wrong with this picture of Robert Downey, Jr., and his son Indio?

Hint, it's not the murses (for the sake of this post anyway).

Give up? It's Indio's belt buckle- Batman!? Come on, Indio, your dad is freaking Iron Man! How about holding your pants up with the meal ticket!

A (Matthew) Fox Tale

trix — Fri, 23 May 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Matthew (is a) Fox is now a doll, figuratively and literally. No one is more excited than his son, except me. I've always wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home, and now I can- and have.

At first glance, his son didn't recognize his father in full costume, but now plans on being Racer X for Halloween and possibly every Halloween from here on out.

Says Fox, "He's so into it. I'm pretty cool in his eyes right now which is pretty great."

Matthew, you're great in my eyes, too. Call me.

What Is Up With Gwyneth And All Those Hooker Shoes?

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:38:00 GMT

Seriously. Gwyneth Paltrow can barely stand up in those things. They're, like, five inches high. And sufficiently stilleto that either one of them could kill a man with relatively little application of force.

Obviously, these shoes - like the others - are not going-to-the-park-with-the-kiddies shoes, but still. Doesn't she at least pick the kids up before she goes out, give them a snuggle, that kind of thing? And wouldn't she just topple over doing that, if she were in these shoes?

I like me a good shoe, I really do, but please. I also like to stand upright.

Robert Downey, Jr. and the Heart of Iron Man

Whit Honea — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:01:00 GMT

Robert Downey, Jr., (pictured with Iron Man director Jon Favreau and co-star Gwyneth Paltrow) recently gave an interview in Parade during which he shared some of his thoughts on his son and his role as a father: “My son is gifted and artistic and has a great sense of humor, yet he’s a very contemplative guy. That’s good. I don’t want him to be in a hurry to find out who he is.

“I’m a guy who was in such a hurry that I missed the train four or five times. I didn’t understand the importance of the crossroads I found myself at. As a dad, I think that my job is to do the right thing - to prepare him for what is coming in his life.

“I used to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it, I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends and family.”

Sounds like Robert finally has it together. Best of luck to him.

Anyone else stoked about Iron Man?

Tom Cruise is a Hummer Hero!

Whit Honea — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:14:00 GMT

Actually, I'm guessing he hears that a lot.

Apparently a woman in Colorado was having some car trouble and got help from an unexpected source: "The police were waiting with the woman for a tow truck and all of a sudden, a Hummer pulled up and it was Tom Cruise!"

See, he's a Hummer.

But I digress. Tom and his bodyguard helped push the woman's car out of the snow while Katie Holmes and Tom's THREE(3) children waited in the Hummer- what? Oh, it's a car! I get it.

I kid. It really is cool of Tom to have a moment of normalacy. I'm betting it was good for him too.

John Travolta Kisses the Hell Out of Some Kirk Douglas

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:33:00 GMT

A couple of things come to mind when I look at this picture of John Travolta putting some man-love on Kirk Douglas. First, my heart goes out to Mr. Douglas. He looks like he may very well have a heart attack, which is to be expected. It's not every day that a big ol' star like John Travolta comes all the way out of the closet to plant a wet one. Normally he just sticks his wigless head out, sees his shadow and goes back in for 6 more years of denial. This is big.

Then I thought, wait- maybe John Travolta is a hero! Could it be that he saw the frailness of Douglas and thought he needed some sort of assistance? It's possible that Travolta was performing mouth-to-mouth and actually saved Kirk Douglas' life or a fate worse than Travis Barker. That's huge. I think someone just earned themselves a fruitbasket.

The thing is, Travolta only knows one way to do things, and that's crazy. It could have been anything, but I'm guessing it was the limoncellos.
