Life On Mars' Jason O'Mara Says Family is Priority

Karl Erikson — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Jason O'Mara, who has been in shows such as "The Agency," "Grey's Anatomy," and "The Bill," is starring in the American remake of "Life on Mars." Jason is forever grateful for being cast in "The Agency" because that's where he met his wife, Paige Turco. Together, the couple have a 4-year-old son, David. Wow, a normal name in Hollywood. Weird.

As with any parent, priorities change once there's a kid involved. Jason says, "It takes pressure off as an actor as well because it's not really about me anymore. And I want to be present for my wife and son, want to be around. I think that's what parenting is about, showing up and being there and listening."

Paige has done a lot of TV shows and movies, but to me she'll forever be April O'Neill in the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movies. Mmm, that's hot.

"Life on Mars" starts this Thursday night at 10pm Eastern. Looking forward to it. I love time travel stories.

Jane Kaczmarek Says Children Keep Her Young

Karl Erikson — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Former "Malcolm in the Middle" mom Jane Kaczmarek is 52 now and starring in the brand new "Raising The Bar" on TNT. Jane has a tribe of her own, of course, with husband Bradley Whitford. There's Frances, 11, George, 8, and Mary Louisa, 5. And she says her kids definitely keep her young, if for no other reason than the fact she is often "hanging out with all these women in their 30s."

"I think the great thing about being older is you are so much more aware that your days are numbered," Jane says. "I am so grateful for everything in my life at this point. It doesn't get any better than this, and you realize this is all going to end one day."

That very notion is what made Jane fire her nanny and take a lot of time off after "Malcolm in the Middle" wrapped for the last time. She loved her nanny, but "didn't want somebody else, no matter how good they are," to fill the mommy role. "They are my kids. I want to be taking care of them."

Brad and Jane are celebrity parents, but they keep their kids very grounded. There's only one TV in the house "that's usually never on." Both parents drive Hondas. And for birthdays, the couple requests donations for Smile Train or the Children's Defense fund, two amazing kids' charities.

I think that's where I draw the line. Not at charity, of course, but hell...birthdays are birthdays, man. Kids deserve presents on birthdays, something other than underwear and socks.

Still, it's pretty admirable, the parenting job Jane and Bradley are doing. Gotta love the family values thing. It seems pretty rare in Hollywood.

He Likes Nanny: Ethan Hawke and Ryan Shawhughes are Expecting

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:10:00 GMT

I guess he was really impressed with her diapering skills: Ethan Hawke is about to become a father for the third time - this time with the former nanny to his children, Ryan Shawhughes. Rumor has it that the couple began their romance when Shawhughes was employed by Hawke and then-wife Uma Thurman.

It seems like countless Hollywood marriages have fallen victim to the Dating-The-Nanny scenario. Wise up people! Do as I did and hire the one that looks like Danny DeVito.

Cutest Celebrity Couples of 2007!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 21:05:00 GMT

Well 2007 is officially over and what a year it's been for celebrity news! And to cap off the year, and begin the New Year, let's see who some of our cutest celebrity couples are. Who makes the list?

Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman-She's definately cute, although she sometimes wears too much makeup. Jordan, um, looks like he might be sporting a tail but together, they're a nice couple.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban-They're cute together, might be having a baby together or not but Kidman, needs to lay off of the Botox or whatever it is that she's doing to her face. Just sayin'.

Nicolette Sheridan and Michael Bolton-I guess they're cute together. She was reportedly preggo and then not reportedly preggo. Her recent bikini pics show more of the latter.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale-Definately cute! They seem like nice people and great parents to their little boy Kingston. Perhaps they're adding to their family?

Seal and Heidi Klum-Cute and they've left nothing to the imagination!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-He's most definately cute (even with that stupid hat), however, I think she's too veiny. Just my opinion. They both, however, do alot for charity.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes-He's weird (and lost his 'cute' appeal) and she's still cute, although somewhat glassy eyed/robot-ish at times. Their daughter Suri is absolutely on the cute radar!

David Beckham and Posh-He's similar to a tractor exhaust pipe and she's slightly annoying but they are attractive together, I'll give them that. And David is a 'gay icon.'

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubrey-They're both pretty when they don't talk.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck-Oh my personal favourite couple, both so cute, an even cuter daughter, Violet, (the CUTEST) and dimples all around. Doesn't get any better than that!

Who's your favourite celebrity couple? Anyone on the list? Or another celebrity couple not mentioned?

Christmas With The Jolie-Pitts

Sassy Smith — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 22:04:00 GMT

What do big time celebrity couples like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt do during the Christmas holidays?

They do pretty normal things apparently! Brad and Angelina took their 3 oldest children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara to see the movie The Waterhorse and then McDonald's (better call Children's Services!) in New Orleans on Christmas day. I've never been a Jolie fan but I must say, she and Brad seem to do everyday, normal things with their kids!
