Babies For Joshua Jackson & Diane Kruger?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:02:00 GMT

Inglourious Basterds actress Diane Kruger has decided she will probably have at least one child with her Fringe star boyfriend, Joshua Jackson.

Kruger, 32, wasn't sure if she would ever be a mother, but since meeting and falling in love with Josh, she's had a change of heart.

"I think I want kids. I didn't think I would but now that I've met Josh I know that I'll have at least one. He has great values and that's important to me."

The couple have been dating since 2006. Perhaps they will have an announcement sooner rather than later!

Matthew McConaughey took girlfriend Camila Alves and son Levi out for a walk on a Malibu beach. Matthew decided to try something different, and took his shirt off for a change. Of course, we all know he only uses his nakedness to distract you and shield Camila and Levi from prying eyes.

Then again, maybe Matthew is hoping that the sight of his ripped abs will keep you from asking about his critically panned Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

Either way, Matthew is shirtless so everyone's happy.

The 25 Best Fictional Parents

Whit Honea — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:59:00 GMT

Oh, TV (and other outlets), how you mock us so, what with the clean houses and the family talks and the ugly sweaters. Yes, folks, we're talking about fake parents and the influence that their special brand of fiction has upon us.

Here are 25 examples for your perusal.

Matt Damon: Bourne to Be a Dad

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 20 May 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Matt Damon took daughters Gia and Isabella for a walk in Central Park on Wednesday. Matt looks like he's got a pretty good handle on things; it's not always easy to wrangle an 8-month-old and a two-year-old.

He does look a little weary in this photo, though, so maybe the kids were giving him a hard time. Either that or he's just sick and tired of people trying to use the name 'Bourne' when titling stories about him.

Brad and Angelina - Together in Cannes

trix — Wed, 20 May 2009 16:15:00 GMT

Brad and Angelina, together again in Cannes.

Take that all you haters! Who knows what's really going on in that relationship, they seem to be trying to keep their private lives private. Imagine that, they don't want everyone in their business. They won't let us in, we get mad and assume something is wrong.

Angelina arrived in Cannes one day after Brad and joined him for a late dinner with 60 of their closest friends. Why was Angelina late?

She attended a war crimes tribunal for Thomas Lugbanga, he's known fro making children as young as 11 become soldiers and/or sex slaves.

Yep, that's pretty important so I'm going to cut her some slack. Even if she is a jealous control freak. She actually cares about what's going on in the world around her.

Will Brad Fly Solo In Cannes?

trix — Sat, 16 May 2009 18:02:00 GMT

Is Angelina Jolie just too exhausted and/or busy to make the trip to Cannes this year? If so, Quentin Tarantino is gonna be mad!!!

There has been so much speculation about Brad and Angelina's relationship that all the world will be waiting with baited breath to see if she shows up. If she does attend with Brad then every expression and nuance will be examined. If she doesn't attend then all the tongues will be wagging, she can't win for losing.

She may not attend because she is on location in Albany, filming the movie Salt, but that excuse will never fly with us gossipmongers.

Another Reason to Love Hugh Jackman

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:38:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman heard about all the fans camping out for the premier of Wolverine in Tempe, mentioned that he would buy them breakfast and guess what, he did.

He followed through on his promise and spent over $ 4000.00 on bagels and coffee for the campers.

Seriously, he is a class act. I wonder if he showed up to help deliver the goodies, because that would be awesome.

I can't wait to see the movie, Wolverine has always been my favorite character from X-Men.

Hugh Jackman is A Triple Threat

trix — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:33:00 GMT

Hugh Jackman, you're so dreamy.

Did you know he wanted to be a dancer when he was a kid? He started down that path when he was 12, but gave it up when his brother said, 'Ah, you poof.' Hugh says, " So I gave it up. I dropped it like a hot rock. I didn't have the guts of Billy Elliot at the time!"

I personally think he's adorable and incredibly talented, he's a triple threat. He is embarrassed by the dancer tagline. He added, I'm always very nervous about the word dancer next to my name because anyone who's really trained in dance will go, 'This guy's fudging so badly.' "

I was impressed with his performance at the Academy Awards. Were you?

Mother Abandoned Slumdog Star Rubina Ali But Wants Her Back!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:08:00 GMT

Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali has been raised by her father Rafiq Qureshi and stepmom, after her mother, Khursheed Ali abandoned her (so says Rafiq and his wife), but now, Khursheed wants her daughter back and will fight to win custody of her.

Last week, it was believed Rafiq tried to sell his 9-year-old daughter (he's since been cleared of those charges) and his wife and ex-wife had a physical fight in the streets over the situation.

Afterwards, Rubina's father said, "As far as Khushi is concerned, she left Rubina when she was two years old. Why should we give her custody now? The children are happy with us."

But Ali said she will do "whatever it takes" to win custody of her child. She added, "I left Rafiq five years ago... but I took the children with me. It was poverty that forced me to let them go back to him a year later. But we stayed in touch."

Hugh Jackman Says No Way Jose To More Kids

Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborah Lee Furness say they are done having/adopting kids.

They always knew they wanted to adopt but he says, "For Deb and me, our family is the most important thing to us, but we travel so much that we fear if we have more kids, it'll be too much. Mixed-race babies have such a hard time being adopted that Deb and I checked off that box specifically when we were filling outour forms. "Our lawyer brought the form back to us and said, 'This is not the time to be politically correct. Are you sure this is what you want?' We were definite about it. Adoption is about taking a baby into your home - and your heart. It's the best thing we've ever done".

That's so nice. I'm not trying to be trite, because it is super nice.

I think they are my new favorite celebrity family that I would like to meet, and not just because I have a crush on him either.

Liam Neeson & Sons Doing "Fantastic" Despite Their Heartbreak

Sassy Smith — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:06:00 GMT

After the tragic death of award-winning actress Natasha Richardson, husband Liam Neeson and sons Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, are doing well considering everything they have been through. They've been trying to find a new normal and find happiness once again.

Actor and family friend, Aidan Quinn, said "They're doing fantastic - as well as can be expected under the circumstances." The family of three and Quinn - who is godfather to Daniel - were recently enjoying a basketball game in NYC.

Neeson attended Quinn's Tribeca Film Festival movie, The Eclipse a few nights ago. Added Quinn, "[The] boys are keeping busy with normal life. I don't really want to say more about it other than that because it's private."

He did say Liam and the Richardson family are so thankful for the fans' support. "They appreciate all of the love and support that they've gotten from the whole world. So that's helping them, too."

It's nice to know they are moving forward - I'm sure Natasha would want that for her husband and boys.

Isla Fisher Doesn't Put the Cart Before the Horse

Confessions of a Shopaholic star Isla Fisher couldn't contain her excitement over daughter Olive's pony ride at the LA Farmer's Market on Sunday. But she certainly couldn't be accused of putting the cart before the horse. In fact, where IS Isla's cart? This is a farmer's market afterall - I'm thinking someone's made off with her bags of organic arugula.

Meanwhile, Olive's dad, Sacha Baron Cohen, is getting ready to release his latest film Bruno, about a flamboyant Austrian fashionista who tries to make it in Hollywood. People are saying it's going to be bigger than Borat.

Now that's putting the cart before the horse.

Slumdog Millionaire Update: Rubina's Dad Arrested, Her Mom & Stepmom Resort To Blows

Sassy Smith — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Slumdog Millionaire's Rubina Ali, the little girl who starred in the film as a young Latika, is experiencing real-life drama. Her father, Rafiq Qureshi, allegedly tried to sell her in an illegal adoption deal for nearly $300,000. He's now been arrested and her mother and stepmom resorted to blows in the streets of Mumbai's Garib Nagar slums.

More photos after the jump

Rubina, 9, who was abandoned by her birth mother and raised by her father and stepmom, watched as the two women slapped each other and pulled hair, arguing about Rafiq's decision to sell his child for thousands of dollars.

The child's stepmom said of Rubina's mother, "Khushi has been after Rubina since the time she went to the Oscars. For seven years before that, she didn't care. Why would we sell Rubina? She is her father's favourite. I love Khushi's children more than she would have loved them."

After the fight, Rafiq Qureshi said, "As far as Khushi is concerned, she left Rubina when she was two years old. Why should we give her custody now? The children are happy with us."

Rafiq denies claims he tried to sell Rubina and says he's being framed. "These reports are not true. I went to the hotel to shoot an ad film. I would never sell my daughter," said Rafiq.

A source said, "Rafiq was told to bring Rubina to the hotel, where a rich man wanted to discuss a job with him. He happily agreed because Rubina can earn good money since her Slumdog success.

"She has had many movie offers. Rafiq didn't understand everything that was being said to him but he was happy to discuss money for a well-paying job for his daughter. He loves her like any father loves his daughter."

This is not the first Slumdog controversy since the film's huge success. Ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Slumdog star was beaten by his dad, after returning home from the US.

Both families claim the filmmakers have forgotten them and they've not received any financial help. Producer Christian Colson said, "We have friends and colleagues in Bombay who are trying to speak with Mr Qureshi to get to the bottom of what happened. Her family is under a lot of pressure."

Colson, along with director Danny Boyle are expected to pay the young stars a visit in May. He said, "Danny and I are committed to Rubina and Azharuddin for the long term. We are trying to keep a roof over their heads, and keep them in school until they are 18. The problem is there are a lot of parties who are telling the parents different things.

"We agreed to buy apartments a couple of months ago but that process stalled because they decided they wanted the money up front instead. In the past few days we have got things back on track, and are now back looking at apartments."

Each child will receive money that's been set up in trust, once they turn 18. As well, properties will be placed in trust, with ownership released to the parents when the children turn 18 and have completed their education.

Colson added, "We can't buy the properties outright and give them to them, because in all honesty they will sell them."

Sassy Smith — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Slumdog Millionaire child-star Rubina Ali, who played a young Latika in the movie, was allegedly attempted to be sold for $295,000 by her father, Rafiq Qureshi.

From News of the World via Radaronline:

News of the World reports that Ali's father Rafiq Qureshi has been offering the girls guardianship for cash for quite sometime, claiming to have exposed him in an undercover investigation where the newspaper posed as wealthy sheiks looking to take the child to live in the United Arab Emirates.

"I have to consider what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future," Quershi allegedly told the undercover team, "...since all this film thing I haven't even worked. We have got nothing out of this film, they have given us nothing."

The paper claims they were tipped off by a tourguide in the family's home city of Mumbai, who says they've been shopping an adoption for some time.

Quershi's initial demand was reported in the neighborhood of $37,000 USD, but when it came to bargaining time, supposedly claimed "The child is special now. This is NOT an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child!"

Quershi is said to insists that he has Rubina's best interest at heart.

First 10-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Slumdog star was beaten by his dad, and now this? What kind of world do we live in that some parents don't cherish, respect and love their children?

Liam Neeson & Sons Smile In The Wake Of Sadness

Sassy Smith — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Actor Liam Neeson and sons, Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, enjoyed a Knicks vs. Nets game on Wednesday night (April 15) in New York City. They were able to smile and cheer from their courtside seats - the family of three are learning to create a new normal after losing their beloved Natasha Richardson - wife to Liam, mom to the boys, and award-winning actress in her own right.

Couple more pics after the jump

Liam and the kids were joined by family friend, actor Aidan Quinn. It's nice they are able to at least have snippets of happy times during their sadness.

Neeson, along with his sons, spent Easter weekend in Saint-Tropez with Natasha's mom, Vanessa Redgrave and sister Joely Richardson - it was a bitter-sweet trip as it was a place that Liam and Natasha had vacationed before she passed away.

Our hearts go out to them as they make their way through their grief and learn a new way of life.

Hugh Jackman To Donate $100,000 to Charity

trix — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:02:00 GMT

Celebrities do this kind of thing, more often than we realize, but Hugh Jackman took his desire to donate, to Twitter.

He wants fellow Tweeters to explain in 140 words or less why he should donate to their favorite charity. I looked at the twitter stream and I don't see how he could pick just one, there are so many great causes.

He also has a tweet out their to Ryan Seacrest asking if they should announce the "winner" on the 24th.

His kids are old enough to know what kind of person their dad is. I think this just reaffirms the fact that they are lucky to have him as a daddy and that they will learn important things from him.

I think he should donate to The March of Dimes. The March for Maddie is very moving and the family isn't asking for anything, except for you to donate to the charity that helped keep Maddie and so many other babies alive.

Liam Neeson & Sons: First Public Appearance Since Natasha's Funeral

Sassy Smith — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:02:00 GMT

Actor Liam Neeson, 56, and his two sons, Micheál, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12, made their first public appearance since actress Natasha Richardson - wife to Liam and mom to the boys - was laid to rest last month.

Photos after the jump

Liam, who wanted to cheer-up his boys, took them to Craven Cottage stadium to see Liverpool play Fulham in London, Saturday, April 4. Neeson's mother-in-law Vanessa Redgrave spent the day with them. Looks like they, at least for a brief time, were able to enjoy their day and smile, after their team won.

They are all helping one another to cope after losing Natasha, and learning to find a new "normal" now that she's gone.

The kids are back to school and Liam has completed filming Chloe. The grieving actor may visit his home in Northern Ireland so the boys can spend time with their paternal grandmother, Kitty, who lives in Ballymena.

Fast & Furious Paul Walker Bakes & Plays With Barbies

Sassy Smith — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:10:00 GMT

Who says a tough-guy-fast-car-racing-sex-symbol actor can't have a soft side? The Fast and The Furious actor Paul Walker admits he bakes and plays with Barbies - it's his way of bonding with his 10-year-old daughter Meadow Rain.

Paul, a single dad, says Meadow Rain is definitely a "girly-girl" and loves to spend her days with two of her favorite people: her dad and Barbie.

"She likes to bake stuff with me and I've even played Barbies," admits Paul, 35.

Walker says his daughter enjoys packing up and going on location with him while he's shooting movies. "She's seen a lot of cool places and I love to hang out with her."

Paul is a proud dad and says his mom spoke words of wisdom when she said, "Little girls soften their daddy's hearts."

He does sound like a great father, although his engagement to his 19-year-old fiance still creeps me out, considering he started dating her when she was just sixteen and he was thirty-two.

The Fast and The Furious is in theaters now.

Megan Fox & BAG Continue To Do Family Stuff

Sassy Smith — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 16:06:00 GMT

One of the hottest stepmoms-to-be on the planet (so I'm told), Megan Fox and her on-again, off-again, on-again boyfriend, single dad and actor Brian Austin Green (or BAG as he's so affectionately called), continue to do family-related things - such as buy a home together.

The couple reportedly purchased a beach-front apartment together, even though they've called off their engagement. They toured an apartment building on Santa Monica's Ocean Ave. a couple of weeks ago, and feel in love with it.

A souce said, "Megan wanted great ocean views because she loves the beach and spotting dolphins. And they said they need several bedrooms and lots of privacy." I'm sure they want a room for Brian's son, Kassius, 7 (mom is actress Vanessa Marcil).

The pal added, "She wasn't wearing her engagement ring, but they were quite affectionate. They seemed totally in sync!"

Does Brian's son get confused by his dad and Megan's relationship? He's probably thinking, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS ALREADY.

Where is Brad going and why is he leaving? Does this mean the rumors are true?

Phftttt... I don't think the rumors are true, plus Brad is just going on business.

Brad Pitt is going to Cannes in May to promote his new film Inglourious Basterd. Will Angelina being going with him and which kids will he be taking?

He's probably wanting to get away from all the rumors of the pending split between him and Angelina.

He probably wants to get a break from the constant craziness of kids, rumors and innuendos and is excited about the trip.

The film will be entered into the awards section of the event and is going to be released worldwide in August. Maybe Brad will get a chance to show his heroics and save someone from drowning again.

Sassy Smith — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:05:00 GMT

Actor Liam Neeson, who is grieving the loss of his beautiful wife, actress Natasha Richardson, has returned to work. He had been in Toronto shooting his latest flick, Chloe, when he received news of Natasha being involved in a skiing accident - he, of course, rushed to her side.

Richardson, who died on March 18, was laid to rest on Sunday, March 22, and Neeson and the couple's two sons, Micheal and Daniel, are learning to cope with the absence of their loved one. The boys have returned to school and Liam has returned to the Toronto movie set.

Producers of Chloe rescheduled shooting to give Liam time to say goodbye to Natasha and help their boys through a difficult time.

An onlooker said Neeson looked lost. "It was so sad. He looked like he was in an Edward Hopper print."

Natasha's sister, Joely has also returned to work on the TV movie of The Day Of The Triffids. Mom Vanessa Redgrave has postponed a charity performance in New York - it was scheduled for next month, but is being put off until October.

A friend said Liam and the boys are doing "OK," and are slowly putting their lives back together. It's a slow process, but they have a good support system, surrounded by family and friends.

Family friend Blaine Trump said, "Liam is doing OK. It takes a while to absorb this. But he says the family needs to move forward. They will take it one step at a time."

Liam is expected to return to work on the Toronto set of his upcoming film, Chloe and the boys will return to school.

"With good friends by their side, they will get through the tough days ahead," added Trump.

The family decided to have Natasha's organs donated - her death will not be in vain as she'll be able to help others with that very precious gift.
