Ben Affleck and Violet Practice Their Pas De Deux

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Because one of the aims of FameCrawler is to salute cuteness and one of my personal passions is supporting the arts, I give you a picture of Ben Affleck carrying daughter Violet in her ballet outfit. Cuteness + culture in one blog post. Another aim of mine? Efficiency.

Everyone's favorite father-daughter duo were spotted as they were leaving Violet's school in Santa Monica. I'm betting the backpack is Violet's, and not Ben's man-purse.

No sign of baby Seraphina Rose in these shots, but I'll bet she was at home being cute and working on a watercolor.

Ten Baby Bumps For Fall: Guess The Preggo Celeb!

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:50:00 GMT

Thanksgiving is approaching, and with it comes bellies stuffed with turkey, stuffing and cheap wine. But these aren't food babies - these celebs are all set to welcome (or already welcomed) babies this fall. See if you can guess these famous baby bumps:

1. This singer (with an outie) is expecting her first child with with her emo husband and recently had a Winnie-The-Pooh themed shower. Looks like her sweater might have come from the Tigger Collection. Click here for the answer.

2. Though she says she's been craving chocolate and "thick beer," this actress is barely showing a bump here. She's expecting her third (!) child with her football player husband. Click here for the answer.

3. This one is expecting her second child. The verdict on mom? She's a really Big Loser. Click here for the answer.

4. She may need help from two-and-a-half men once her twins arrive. Hopefully her husband can stop battling with his ex-wife long enough to change a few diapers. Click here for the answer.

5. Yet another one expecting twins! Don't let the risque getup alarm you - this is tame compared to what some people have seen of her. Click here for the answer.

6. One of the favorite moms here at FameCrawler. She's expecting her second child with her husband, but in her last movie she played a woman unable to get pregnant and desperate to adopt. Click here for the answer.

7. This actress already gave birth to daughter Willow. Heard the kid's got a real eagle eye. Click here for the answer.

8. Excuse the lame joke, but this one is getting ready to put another shrimp on the barbie! Pregnant with her second child, this Aussie actress' best friend also recently gave birth. Click here for the answer.

9. And yet another set of twins! This bump belongs to an actress and former model who described herself as a "beached whale." But don't call her ugly, Betty. Click here for the answer.

10. This one doesn't look pregnant at all. Probably because she isn't. Or is she? She was recently photographed in this form-fitting shirt, most likely to dispel pregnancy rumors. And what is REALLY going on with her and Jessica Simpson's ex? Click here for the answer.

Angelina Jolie Makes The World A Better Place

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie recently took a secret trip to Afghanistan where she furthered her role as a Goodwill Ambassador. She takes her role very seriously and has taken steps to insure that the refugee children get the help they need.
Actress Angelina Jolie and a team of 25 powerful law firms are joining forces against the government's attempt to deport thousands of unaccompanied and illegal immigrant children - including hundreds from New York City. Backed by Microsoft Corp., Kids in Need of Defense will provide free legal representation to children separated from their parents. The group will open offices in New York and other several other cities... "These children often have nothing - no money, no support and no family," Jolie said in a statement. "Many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten."
"Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees," she said. "It's been a remarkable education."

Jolie, who has visited dozens of war-torn countries around the world, spoke passionately on behalf of the victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to...
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie admitted. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."

Those are powerful words and we can hope that this team of lawyers can make a difference in the lives of these women and children. It will be a great thing to make sure these victims see justice.

'Joe The Plumber' Doesn't Understand The Media

trix — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Joe Wurzelbacher is mad. So mad in fact, that he is striking out at the media for jumping feet first into his personal life and finances.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

What did he think was going to happen? Did he not see what happened to Sarah Palin? She was completely vetted by the gossip magazines so be prepared, it will only get worse before it gets better.

Sarah Palin Wants To Be On SNL?

trix — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:27:00 GMT

Sarah Palin and the McCain staff are trying to figure out how to respond to the spot-on impersonation done by Tina Fey on SNL the last three weeks.
Do you think that she should respond at all?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Palinesque tweak to Tina Fey's American Express commercials may be in the works.
Sarah Palin may also appear on NBC's "Weekend Update" as early as Thursday night.

I can't wait to see what the next SNL Palin skit will be. They have been pretty funny thus far.

Sarah Palin's Daughter Caught Doing Drugs On Tape

trix — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:14:00 GMT

Heavens to murgatroid, will it ever stop?

The Enquirer has done some digging and says that it came up with a video of Bristol Palin smoking pot on camera. It also had a source who like any true source would, spilled the beans regarding Levi's, cocaine buying, smoking Oxycontin off of aluminum foil, habits.

They have such great parents!

The video of Bristol is from 2 years ago when she was 15, and reportedly was giggling like crazy after taking hits. The video is also being labeled as a regular night out for Bristol and her friends.

The pictures are a couple of years old as well of girls who are supposed to be friends with Bristol. It's supposedly a picture of Bristol, but as a commenter said it doesn't look like her. More like her and Levi's friends.

They're doing the Miley Pose.

Did Bristol and Levi Have A Shot Gun Wedding?

trix — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:16:00 GMT

Bristol and Levi may have tied the knot recently. That is, according to a Facebook page that has Bristol's name and picture on it. The couple got hitched and she, like any forward thinking woman may or may not do, hyphenated his name.

Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple things done and over with before she can give her attention fully to being the interferring mother of the bride.

Jason Bateman Has the Smartest Kid in the Universe

Aw, look at little 22-mos-old Francesca Nora grabbing onto daddy Jason Bateman's head. She's saying, "Let's watch 'Arrested Development' again, Daddy! It was the last funny sitcom on television!"

Vetting Sarah Palin: Like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Funnier: UPDATED!!

Whit Honea — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:01:00 GMT

There is some speculation in the media, by which I mean the real media- that being people with neckties and make-up artists, not unshaven bloggers in their underwear (and some men, too) that John McCain's team dropped the ball regarding the vetting[1] process of Sarah Palin.

We're inclined to agree.

That's why we here at FameCrawler, home of all things fameish and crawlesque have decided to help you, the voter. We've done some pretty extensive ~~drinking~~ vetting ourselves over the weekend (McCain, you owe us a house each) and have some interesting information on Mrs. Palin, some of which is actually true!

Here is a list of the items we uncovered without ever stepping foot in Alaska (not that there is anything wrong with that):

[1] From Wikipedia:

Vetting is a process of examination and evaluation. Specifically, vetting often refers to performing a background check on someone before offering them employment. In addition, in intelligence gathering, assets are vetted to determine their usefulness.

In the United States, a party's presidential nominee must choose a vice-presidential candidate to accompany him or her on the ticket. Prospective vice-presidential candidates must undergo thorough evaluation by a team of advisers acting on behalf of the nominee. In later stages of the vetting process, the team will examine such items as a prospective vice-presidential candidate's finances, personal conduct, and previous coverage in the media.

To vet was originally a horse-racing term, referring to the requirement that a horse be checked for health and soundness by a veterinarian before being allowed to race. Thus, it has taken the general meaning "to check."

More Trouble For Sarah Palin- Photos!!!

trix — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:24:00 GMT

Oh dear, when is it all going to end.? Bristol Palin is starting to look like she's going to be the bane of her mothers existence, or at least her campaign for VP.

Some new pictures have surfaced of Bristol who is only 17 partaking in, oh my don't say it, underage drinking. She's actually not drinking in the photos, but posing with alcohol bottles. The beer is open though, so who's to say whether she was or wasn't drinking it. There are also some shots of her with guns and Levi Johnston, the father of her unborn child. That is if she's even really pregnant.

Now, in Alaska a child can consume alcohol if it is given to her by her parents so...just saying...

I'll be honest my parents allowed my sister and I to taste their adult beverages, but to let us consume whole ones by ourselves, not so much.

Jamie Lynn It's All Your Fault

trix — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:04:00 GMT

Actually it happened before she got pregnant but it shows the way society is trending, maybe that means she's not so out of the ordinary.

For the first time in 15 years, the National Institute of Health is reporting an increase in teen pregnancies, with the latest figures showing nearly 139,000 girls aged 15-17 became pregnant in 2006. That’s up from 133,000 reported pregnancies in 2005.

Ancil Overbey, who oversees the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Gastonia, says the facility has seen a 42 percent increase in the number of pregnancy tests and a 28 percent rise in ultrasounds.

Talking about a teenage girl's pregnancy it is said, “Being a teen, she's going to have potentially low birth weight for the child, which puts the child at risk; the potential for the child having health issues; the concern for infant mortality death goes up if she's a teenager,” listed Overbey, who partially blames the media for the increase, pointing to the latest cover of Ok! Magazine as an example. The issue features a smiling Jamie Lynn Spears holding her newborn daughter with a quote that reads, “Being a mom is the best feeling in the world.” Recent reports have also surfaced about a pregnancy pact in Massachusetts involving 17 young girls. “You wonder what in the world is going on in America,” said Overbey.

These girls are in middle school.

With the Miley Cyrus' and Jamie Lynns in the media all the time and movies like Juno glorifying teen pregnancy it's hard to know what to think.

Juno We're Not Responsible

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:15:00 GMT

Um, no we're not responsible. That's what Jason Bateman had to say to Access Hollywood about the 17 Massachusetts girls who got pregnant at the same time so they could have and raise their kids together.

“Unfortunately, we’ve had these instances where guys kill people because of what they hear in rock ‘n roll lyrics or some garbage like that. Look, if you’re going to blame a movie or song for your actions, whether they be good or bad, I think you’re looking at the wrong things to influence your life.”

What a polite answer. Here around the water cooler all we can say is, Really!, you've got to be kidding me, why on earth would they do that and where were their parents. That's the nice version.

He's a much nicer person than I am.

Jason Bateman-Is All Growns Up

trix — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:43:00 GMT

Jason Bateman, 39, is all grown up.

Jason Bateman lucked out when he landed the role of Michael Bluth on Arrested Development and he knows it. He says, "A lot of people in America didn’t watch Arrested Development but folk in LA did and they’re the ones hiring." That role brought him back to the attention of Hollywood. He has been working non-stop since then, which is a double edged sword because all the work takes him away from his wife Amanda and his daughter Francesca.

His wife Amanda is the daughter of the famous 60's singer Paul Anka and Jason has said that she is a big part of the reason that helped him grow up and be a great husband and father.

In talking about his wife Amanda he said in an interview with The Independant "She was a very close friend, and it’s worked because I don’t need to be in a certain mood to like her – she’s like a friend who you never tire of. And since then I haven’t been picking jobs that are frivolous and celebrity-making; they are jobs that are career-making. Hopefully I’ve made some decisions and I’ll reap the benefits. My wife is definitely responsible for a lot of that.”

Jason also talked about the movie Juno, "I mean, Juno's a good film but, good God! They talked about it like it was the second coming. And then, there's other films that get slammed like Smokin' Aces, which I had a small part in. I thought Joe Carnahan did an incredible job and they killed him for it. But who knows? All you can do is just act in these things."

I always thought he was such a punk in Silver Spoons. I remember the episode in which Ricky and Derrick were going to open a shop and Derrick wanted to call it "DERRICKS" so it would have both of their names in it.

Miley Cyrus Pregnant? Due in October?

Whit Honea — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:02:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus will be the next pregnant teen you see. Um, don't watch Juno or go to the mall. She's got a baby brewing and the due date is October 24th.

Don't worry. She's not really pregnant. She's ACTING. Rumor has it that High School Musical 3 will be hitting theaters on Oct. 24th and that Miley has a cameo in it as a pregnant teen.

Granted these rumors came from Perez Hilton and I'm guessing that in light of the recent "scandals" with Miley and the Vanity Fair cover, not to mention HSM's Vanessa Hudgens and her photos (which really were nude) and the hoopla surrounding Jamie Lynn Spears, that Disney will be steering clear of topics that aren't considered 100% wholesome. Except for Vanessa Hudgens apparently.

Jamie Lynn Fears Childbirth

HerBadMother — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:46:00 GMT

And so she should. It ain't no walk in the park. Really, it's not. The thing of it is, though? They've got drugs for that.

Apparently, Jamie's mom, Lynne, showed her a video of a woman undergoing natural childbirth, and the poor girl puked from fear and grossed-outedness. Which, really? Not surprising. That shiz is totally alarming to most people who have never gone through it. Yes, beauty of the miracle of life, blah, blah, but there's no getting around the fact that it hurts like a bitch and that? Is totally obvious to anyone who watches it happen. So, yeah, showing your pregnant teenager a video of what labor without meds looks like? Kinda like showing those friends of yours who are going camping in the Amish backcountry The Blair Witch Project.

Seriously. Somebody needs to show Jamie a video of a woman giving birth after having had an epidural. You know, where said woman relaxes comfortably sipping at her ice cubes and adjusting the volume on her 'birth-music' mixed CD. Obvz, it doesn't always happen like that, but still. There's a lot less screaming.

Jamie Lynn Spears Hit in Mouth: An Open Letter

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 18:20:00 GMT

Dear Jamie,

Perhaps you know that the National Enquirer ran a story about your shenanigans last week in which a bunch of drunks were fighting at a party and you threw your pregnant ass in the ruckus and took an elbow in the kisser. If not, this is what they said:

“Jamie Lynn decided she could break it up, but got elbowed hard in the mouth by one of the boys. She went crazy, screaming at everyone… crying, screaming and covering her mouth. Casey (Aldridge) was so drunk, he just kept trying to hush her up. Lynne Spears called Jamie Lynn and bitched her out for going. Jamie Lynn’s dad Jamie called Casey and told him if anything happens to his daughter, he will have to deal with him.”

Why, Jamie, is it starting to feel like I've seen your life before? Between your sister Britney and the collective catalog of COPS you are oddly comforting in your familiarity.

I was shocked when you announced you were pregnant. I was amused when you were featured in Hustler, though to be honest it wasn't very funny, and I was indifferent to your recent act of going postal.

Then why is it that I feel obligated to write you about this latest incident? What line did you cross that teen pregnancy, porn magazines and the United States Postal Service fail to meet?

The thing is that your latest action only amplified the obvious, you don't make very good decisions, and while the prior mistakes, be they footwear (seriously, what's up?), Casey Aldridge, or picking Nickelodeon over Disney, have had their respective consequences, none of them put your baby at risk.

That's what you did by jumping in between a group of drunk boys fighting. Actually, that's what you did when you agreed to go into a room full of drunk boys to begin with.

You are young and plenty has been made about your age, your family and so on. The bottom line is that regardless of the path that brought you here, here you are, and you need to start taking the necessary precautions to make sure this is the beginning of something wonderful and not just another sad saga in the Spears storyline.

Sincerely,

Whit

No, Candy Spelling did not help me write this. It was just me, 8 cups of coffee and spell check.

Jamie Lynn Spears Goes Postal

Whit Honea — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:59:00 GMT

Fresh off of her glorified debut in Hustler(NSFWish) Jamie Lynn Spears appears to be going postal, which in the Spears family is considered par for the course.

Of course, Jamie Lynn is just trying to send a letter, probably to me telling me not to be such an ass.

She's trying to be normal. Unfortunately normal in her world, being a pregnant teenage television star and little sister of Britney Spears, means you can't even go to the mailbox without people taking pictures of you. Normal is relative, even when your relatives aren't.

Happy Birthday Jamie Lynn Spears!

Jamie Lynn Spears in Hustler!

Whit Honea — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:05:00 GMT

Britney's little sister Jamie Lynn is appearing in the latest issue of Hustler. Yes, she's pregnant, and yes, she is 16, but that's the point. The picture is below and NSFW.

Her face was superimposed on the body of Ellen Page for a spoof of Page's hit movie "Juno" called "Oh No." By the way, if you are planning to search for "Hustler" and "Oh No" on the internet, brace yourself.

The fake poster includes quotes from such notables as Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan- a regular who's who of Hollywood players.

Says Hustler's Editorial Director Bruce David, "We just couldn't let this one slip by us! The pregnant 16-year-old sister of Britney Spears, it's too perfect! You can't make this stuff up!"

I know that Hustler was trying to be funny, and I can see the idea of this ad being such, but to be honest their effort is pathetic and tacky. Their writers are pretty weak, which is to be expected considering that people don't buy Hustler for the articles, no matter what Larry Flynt thinks. It's not humorous and while I love me some dirty talk, it is just vulgar for the sake of vulgarity. I thought Hustler was for adults not 14-year-old boys, oh wait, scratch that. That's like saying cigarettes aren't targeted towards teens. Wink, wink.

So here is the ad, it's not funny and not safe for work.

FameCrawler Oscar Picks: Where We Demonstrate That We Really Do Have an Opinion on Everything

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Without a doubt one of the things keeping you up late at night is wondering "Who do the FameCrawler bloggers think will win big at the Academy Awards?" (Of course, that along with, "Who will Jamie Lynn take to Lamaze class?)

This must be your lucky day, because here are our completely unsolicited opinions (Sorry, can't help you out with the Jamie Lynn thing):

Sweatpantsmom:

Best Actress: Laura Linney (I love her. Ellen Page was great in Juno, but has no 'body of work.' That there is Academy-speak for "She ain't been in nuthin' else.")

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee (First time nominated. She's 83, for chrissakes - just give it to her already.)

Best Actor: George Clooney (He's hot. And I still watch ER, hoping for him to make a surprise cameo.)

Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook (See Ruby Dee, above)

Best Picture: Juno (Juno Juno Juno. Has anyone even seen the other movies?)

Whit:

Best Actress: I didn't see any of them, so I'll go with whoever looks the hottest.

Best Actress: Prediction: Julie Christie; Wish: Ellen Page

Best Supporting Actress: Prediction: Cate Blanchett (but will be happy if she or Tilda Swinton or that little Irish chick wins it)

Best Supporting Actor: Prediction/Wish: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: Toss-up: No Country For Old Men or There Will Be Blood. Can't call this one.

Karen:

Best Actress: Ellen Page because she is a Canucklehead like me.

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton because if I could have a celebs life it would be hers and Johnny Depp would be my boy toy. (See below.) Although the step-mom in Juno should have been nominated.

Best Actor: Johnny Depp - because he is my back-up husband and deserves it.

Best Supporting Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman because I'm a big fan of his work and he rocks and that's all you need to know.
