Helen Hunt - Family Play Time

trix — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:33:00 GMT

I'm so disappointed that Helen Hunt didn't name her daughter Mabel. I guess it's okay though, since she is so darn cute.

Helen, her daughter Makena and Helen's long time partner, Matthew Carnahan got breakfast, hit the farmers market and joined some friends for some fun at the park.

Sounds like they had a full day of family fun and togetherness.

One Of TV's Best-Loved Dads Dead... Or Not?

HerBadMother — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 01:35:00 GMT

Which much-loved television actor - famous for playing bumbling dads - was reported dead today? And then alive again? And then...?

Paul Reiser, star of My Two Dads and Mad About You (what ever happened to that show? Why does it not run in syndication alongside Seinfeld and Friends? Also, whatever happened to the nineties?) was reported this morning to have been found dead in a river.

According to E! Online:

Former Mad About You star Paul Reiser this morning became, ever so briefly, the latest star to be prematurely killed off by the Internet when two new ominous and completely unverifiable sentences popped up in his Wikipedia biography.

"On December 27th, 2008 Reiser was discovered dead in the Squallahassee River where he reportedly enjoyed fly fishing," the amended entry read. "No foul play was suspected."

E! goes on to explain, however, that the Wikipedia entry was tampered with and that the story was a hoax.

Which, phew. It'd be pretty sad if Reiser kicked it before Mad About You comes out in box sets. It'd be sad either way, duh, but still - dude should get those residuals while he's still living, no? Especially since he only ever had kids in TV-land.

The Joys of Motherhood - Celebrity Moms Speak Out

Sassy Smith — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:06:00 GMT

Having a child changes your life and for famous parents it's no different. Here's what a few celebumoms had to say about motherhood and what it means to them:

Kate Hudson, mom to son Ryder Russell, 4:

"I'm very impatient. I like to get things done. I move fast. Patience has been something he's teaching me. Your children teach you so much. It's a real mirror of yourself. You recognize the things you do directly affect your children. It hopefully allows you to be more conscious of them and yourself and your actions. When you have kids, it goes so fast. I felt like I was pregnant last weekend, but he's 4 and he's talking and he's gathering his ideas and learning who he is. It's so easy to step in and fix things and make everything right, but you have to let him figure things out on his own. That's one of my favorite things to do, to watch how they treat other kids and how they observe other people. Your life becomes about your children. I wake up every morning and I hear his voice, and that's my favorite thing in the world. There's nothing like it."

Salma Hayek, 41, gave birth to Valentina last year:

"You learn so much. Listen to her. She's in the background. Do you hear that strange noise she makes (like a purr, or a rolled r)? It's the French in her. (Dad is businessman François-Henri Pinault.) It's hilarious. What I learned as a mother is that I have a strong love for things. But the quality of your love gets jaded over the years as you get beat up. What motherhood did to me, when she was born, the amount of love that started pouring out of me was completely pure. Anything anyone ever did to me was erased by this energy. I relearned how to love everything around me, too. My baby is the best thing that has happened to me in my life. It's the most amazing thing."

Actress Thandie Newton, 35, is mom to Ripley,7, Nico,3:

"I've learned the value of stripping it down to the basics: love, respect, compassion, stillness, to be interested, to be able to absorb the moment. I remember the first time Ripley saw her shadow. My god. It was like shadows had just been invented. It was the most exquisite moment. And it was just dish to me. To actively attempt to be a good mother is basically attempting to be a good person. I never look at my kids and feel that they're mine. I am their caretaker. They own the joint. It's a privilege to be able to take care of them. With my first daughter, I remember waking up and thinking, 'My god, I get to be her mum again today. Wow. It's amazing.' They just take my breath away. All I do is serve themselves back to themselves. My job is just to provide a secure environment where they can just be themselves. It's the cycle that keeps going forward. You give to them, so they can give to their kids. You have to be delighted by that."

Helen Hunt, 44, has a 3-year-old daughter, Makena:

"It gives me real motivation to try and be the person I want to be. You tell them to be patient. But they'll do what you do and not what to say. If I want her to be relaxed, I have to be relaxed. Or at least try as hard as I can to seem relaxed. If I want her to be patient, I have to be patient. If I want her to be kind, I have to be kind. I have a deep wish for her to be happy and serene, and it makes me want to do everything I can to be happy and serene."

First-time mom Nicole Richie, daughter Harlow, 4-months:

"Everything I do is for her [Harlow]. My whole life revolves around her and I absolutely love it. I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant... and it's been nothing but an amazing ride since." Nicole would also like to expand her family soon. "I want five children. Twin boys and three girls. I've wanted that since I was a little girl."

Actress Sigourney Weaver,58, mom to Charlotte,18:

"It's a very humbling experience. Parenting has changed and evolved so much since I was parented. Parents enjoy their kids much more. It's just fun. It's a potentially blossoming time, because you have to be everything. You have to be a great storyteller. You have to be very organized, very supportive and still. You can't believe you have this without a license, without any training. You learn as you go. You're getting to know your child, who is a complete individual at birth, and you spend years getting to know who that person is and making sure that person is as supported as possible."

Babble Talk: Helen Hunt

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 18:25:00 GMT

Over on the main page Babble has a great interview by Mina Hochberg featuring the always charming Helen Hunt. There's lots of talk about babies and movies. Check it out!

Quarterback Princess Helen Hunt and Her Royal Court

BadKitty — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 14:32:00 GMT

Love the cute platform white flip flops on 3 year old Makena Lei' -- you can tell she already has a ton of fashion flair with her sassy green fringey skirt. Mom Helen Hunt is more understated, in her white and khaki ensemble. But then, when you're Helen Hunt, you don't have to prove anything. Her IMDB is a comprehensive who's who of classic tv: Mary Tyler Moore, The Bionic Woman, Family, The Facts of Life, Knots Landing, Highway to Heaven, St. Elsewhere, Friends, of course Mad About You, and even an episode of the The Simpsons. But that's just scratching the surface for a real Helen Hunt fan.

Her true glory is in the made for TV oeuvre, with gems like Quarterback Princess (sexism) and Desperate Lives (drugs - PCP!) as well as her Emmy nominated partnership with Jennifer Jason Leigh. From the shame of unplanned pregnancy in I Think I'm Having a Baby to the silent pain of anorexia in The Best Little Girl in the World, Helen and Jennifer taught a generation of us how to be troubled teens.

You know what would be cool? Makena Lei' and the yet-to-be-conceived child of Jennifer Jason Leigh (she married director Noah Baumbach a couple of years ago, it's probably just a matter of time) should star in remakes of their mothers' classic After School Specials. Watch for it, Spring 2021 on the WB!
