Happy Mother's Day, Nicole Richie!

Whit Honea — Sun, 10 May 2009 22:17:00 GMT

Nicole Richie has been on FameCrawler more than I have- and I pretty much live here. That said, the mom-to-be has plenty to celebrate and Harlow is sure to help her do it.

Happy Mother's Day, Nicole!

Jessica Alba and her husband Cash are celebrating Mother's Day with little Honor, which seems like a pretty good way to do it.

Happy Mother's Day, Reese Witherspoon!

Reese Witherspoon got to enjoy a little quality time as part of her Mother's Day, assuming that one equates working out with fun. I'm sure there's some kid-related activity awaiting her at home.

Happy Mother's Day, Reese!

Happy Mother's Day, Naomi Watts!

Naomi Watts knows a thing or two about Mother's Day, but Sam doesn't. He'll have to learn the fine art of card-making from older brother Sasha. I have faith in them.

Happy Mother's Day, Naomi!

Happy Mother's Day, Halle Berry!

Whit Honea — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:25:00 GMT

Halle Berry is a FameCrawler favorite, as you know, but we suspect that her attentions are saved for little Nahla. We're okay with that.

Happy Mother's Day, Halle!

Happy Mother's Day, Marlee Matlin!

Whit Honea — Sun, 10 May 2009 18:38:00 GMT

Marlee Matlin recently celebrated her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but today is probably a little sweeter. Marlee and her husband Kevin Grandalski have four kids, Sara, Brandon, Tyler and Isabella. That's a lot of cards!

Happy Mother's Day, Marlee!

Happy Mother's Day, Brooke Shields!

Whit Honea — Sun, 10 May 2009 18:16:00 GMT

Nothing says Mother's Day like a big ol' bonnet. Actually, the hat is saying Kentucky Derby, but I like it.

Brooke has two daughters, Rowan and Grier, with her husband Chris Henchy.

Happy Mother's Day, Brooke!

Erica Packer and her husband James (Australia's third richest man behind Crocodile Dundee and the Blue Wiggle- not a fact) are the proud parents of 10-month-old Indigo.

Happy Mother's Day, Erica!

What's Mother's Day without Denise Richards? Sane? Quiet?

Oh, that's why we ~~put up with~~ love her. Plus, Sam and Lola are cute as can be.

Happy Mother's Day, Denise!

Babble Talk: The 50 Coolest Celebrity Moms

Whit Honea — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:36:00 GMT

Catherine Connors has put together a pretty good list of the 50 coolest celebrity moms. It's a nice collection of mothers (and almost mothers) that meet a criteria established soley by Catherine and her innate understanding of things cool. It's a gift and a curse. It's sure to entertain and possibly raise some questions- for instance, #40 Kate Moss. Kate Moss? She's about as cool as a rock, a crack rock. You can use that.

Check out Catherine's list and discuss it among yourselves: The 50 Coolest Celebrity Moms.

Britney Spears is/has a Crazy Mother...

Whit Honea — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 21:03:00 GMT

According to AHN, Britney Spears is filing a restraining order against her mother. She is taking this step to keep her mom, Lynne, away from her two sons. She claims that her mother is abusing prescription pain medication and Britney doesn't want her spending time with her boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

This concerns me, because who would be with the boys then? I see hundreds of pictures of Britney every day, and do you know why we don't use them here at FameCrawler? Because she never has her kids with her. She has Uggs, nipples and big, stupid glasses, but no babies.

Not only is she mad at her mother for having an alleged problem, but she is deciding to shun her rather than take the steps to help her like Lynne and (gulp!) K-Fed did, sort of, when the tables were turned.

She blames her mom and K-Fed for putting her in rehab, yet she still lets her boys (and her girls too, nudge, nudge) go over to their daddy's place without concern. Which is, of course, concerning. As you can see, I have nothing but concern for this family. Actually, I really am concerned for the boys. I hope someone steps up and provides these kids some shelter and a bit of sanity.

The scary thing is I'm looking at you K-Fed.

Jamie Lee Curtis Goes Off on Hollywood Moms

Alisyn — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:01:00 GMT

Jamie Lee Curtis insists that she's "asking questions, not pointing fingers," in her essay published Monday at the Huffington Post, but she made it crystal clear that she blames the mothers of Paris, Britney and Lindsay for the sad and desperate situations the troubled young women now find themselves in. If you haven't read it yet, here are some of the highlights:

"The sad paths of the three most popular young women have ended in prison, rehab and mental illness. I hope their mothers are worried sick and wondering, 'What could I have done differently?' And our culture should be asking the same question too."

Referring to her generation of parents, who want to befriend their kids, instead of raise them: ""We applauded every move they made. Every step they took. 'Good climbing, Brandon' was our hue and cry. We were raised by people who didn't 'understand' us and now we don't 'understand' why our children are so messed up. What we need to do is look long and hard at our part in all this. Where did our children get the message that the rules don't apply to them? And where did we, the Mothers, get the message that if we abdicate our responsibilities as Mothers, the Universe will do our job for us? And it does, but without any of the love and tenderness and compassion that we could have given, along with the lessons.""

Jamie Lee had harsh words for Kathy Hilton especially, and waxed philosophical about Paris' dramatic trip back to jail: "It was a painful episode to watch. A young woman, begging her mother, the person who should have taught her right from wrong, to help her, to teach her the rules of life. It was a little too late. And so she wept as the Universe was bringing the teaching and settling the score."

A celebrity baby herself and mom to Annie, 20, and Tom, 11, Jamie Lee had some advice for the Kathy Hiltons and Dinah Lohans of the world: "Children are paparazzi. They take your picture mentally when you don't want them to, when you don't look good, and show it back to you in their behavior.... Wake up, Mothers, and smell the denial."

Damn, that sure sounds like "pointing fingers" to me. We haven't heard about Jamie's kids kicking up a big ruckus yet, but c'mon - her boy's only eleven. There's still plenty of time for him to pull a Danny Bonaduce on us. And her daughter's 20 - hardly out of the woods yet. I know that Jamie Lee is considered an expert on child development now that she's written a few kids' books, and everybody loves her because she seems "real," but I think she sounds a little obnoxious here. A bit preachy too. Not that I don't agree with her... but still. As she says, "celebrities who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks."

What we have here are boulders.
