Hugh Jackman's Guide to Summer

Whit Honea — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:02:00 GMT

It's no secret that Hugh Jackman is a class act. The guy does it all, but none as well or as passionately as his gift for ~~dance~~ parenting.

Hugh is always with his kids and he seems to be loving every minute of it, which means he's either a better man than I am or his kids actually listen to him. I'll go with a bit of both.

Oscar (9) and Ava (3) are lucky kids. Strollers, popsicles and Wolverine? That's summer in a nutshell, folks.

Celebrity Kid Shoes - Meet the Moccasin

Whit Honea — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Droolicious says these dandy moccasins are suede, but I'm going to guess that there is a faux involved as the celebrity dad upon whose daughter these shoes were spotted is a big Vegan with a capital V as you just saw.

Manny Ramirez Busted!

Whit Honea — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:04:00 GMT

Dodgers superstar Manny Ramirez has failed a drug test and will be suspended by MLB for 50 games.

Admittedly, I'm not surprised. Man-Ram using performance enhancing drugs actually explains a lot. Not only is he too good, but he tends to be labeled a jerk by pretty much everyone that ever meets him. Think Barry Bonds with really bad hair. Really bad hair.

Ramirez will lose 7.7 million dollars during the suspension- which means that he makes more in two months than the rest of us combined will make in our collective lifetime.

However, I don't think we need to worry about his kids going hungry. The little Mannys (seriously, it's George Formanesque) should be able to get by on day old caviar and Happy Meals till this all blows over. Whether or not they get over the scar of their dad being called a cheater is a different story.

Here's Manny's spin. For the record, his new spin is the same as the old spin:

"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.

"I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."

Seriously? The blame the doctor angle? I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night, but I'm pretty sure medical professionals that are dealing with expensive commodities like professional athletes have a pretty good understanding of what they can and cannot prescribe.

Is it just me or is the American pastime going on a quick ride in a handbasket?

Whose Celebrity Mama Might Possibly Be a Llama?

Whit Honea — Wed, 06 May 2009 12:28:00 GMT

Whit Honea — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:58:00 GMT

O Organics sponsored the Pregnancy Awareness Celebration in Santa Monica over the weekend.

You know what they say, build the event and the stars will come. I'm sure somebody says that.

Marisa Coughlan was among the celebrities aware of being pregnant and now we're aware of her. That's Hollywood magic, people.

Jeff Gordon Feels the Need for Family

Whit Honea — Sun, 03 May 2009 20:07:00 GMT

Jeff Gordon took a little calm before the storm time with his wife Ingrid and their little girl Ella before a race in Arizona.

Ella is about to turn 2. She appears to be on a much faster track than anything Jeff is used to. Kids grow up quick (hold for understatement of the year reaction).

If I didn't know any better, and I generally don't, I would think that Breckin Meyer has his eyes on my Best Father trophy- the one that sits on the bookshelf just next to my desk.

Every time we see the guy he's teaching a course in Daddy 101. Today Breckin and his happy little girl are in the park.

See? He's good.

Celebrity Crib Shoes

Whit Honea — Sat, 02 May 2009 19:03:00 GMT

I've heard of cribs and I've heard of shoes, but I'm not that familiar with crib shoes. Granted, my kids were barefoot whenever possible and my feet are way too big for those things, but if you want to have a pair like a certain celebrity does then visit Droolicious.

Yeah, it's a tough one. Must be the mask. Check Droolicious for the answer.
