It’s a girl for Chad Lowe and girlfriend Kim Painter! The couple welcomed a daughter, Mabel Painter Lowe, last Saturday, May 16th in Los Angeles. Though no further details were released, the couple’s rep says, “Everybody is healthy and happy.”

Chad, 41, and Kim announced they were expecting in late January. Though they kept a low profile throughout Kim’s pregnancy, the first-time parents said they were taking in all of the advice they could, including “get a lot of sleep now!”

Chad, a television actor, won an Emmy for his role in Life Goes On and also appeared in hit shows including 24, ER, and Melrose Place. Chad and Kim began dating in January 2007.

Rob Lowe's Battle with Nanny is Finished

Karl Erikson — Thu, 14 May 2009 13:36:00 GMT

Rob Lowe, 45, sued a former nanny, Jessica Gibson, back in April of 2008. Supposedly, Gibson was attempting to blackmail Rob for $1.5 million. Then the nanny flipped it around, filing a sexual harrassment lawsuit against Rob, saying that he groped her and exposed himself to her repeatedly over her 7 years working for the Lowes.

Now the fight is over. Both Rob and Jessica Gibson requested that the lawsuits be dropped. I smell a settlement, but nobody's talking about that aspect. Rob Lowe has denied he did anything wrong.

This doesn't stop ALL the lawsuits, though. There's a separate legal fight with a SECOND nanny, Laura Boyce. My, Rob and wife Sheryl find the best freaking nannies, don't they?

Rob and wife Sheryl are parents to two children: Matthew, now 15, and John, now 14.

Rob Lowe Won His Battle in Court

trix — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Rob Lowe's nanny was out of line.

Remember that debacle a few months ago, Rob Lowe and his wife going back and forth in the media about who was wrong. Well it's over, for now. The decision the judge handed down was, her right to freedom of speech was not violated.

Ooh, in your face nanny.

She signed the confidentiality agreement of her own volition, she broke it and now she's in trouble.

She spilled secrets and got in trouble for it. Let that be a lesson to all those that have already signed their agreements.

Loose lips sink ships, and all that jazz.

"Armageddon" California Fires: Rob Lowe & Family Escape

Sassy Smith — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 12:04:00 GMT

Actor Rob Lowe and his family - wife Sheryl, sons Matthew and John - fled their home in Montecito, California as a brush fire engulfed the mountain behind their house, with flames shooting 200 feet in the air. The fire started Thursday night and by Friday morning had scorched 1,500 acres, destroying many homes in the foothills of Montecito.

Reports detail more than 5,400 homes were evacuated and more than 800 acres were burned in just six hours. Multi-million dollar homes are nothing but smoldering ruins.

Rob and his family stopped to check on neighbours as they evacuated, and found them trapped behind their automatic car gate. Despite smoke and flames, Lowe managed to help them open the big gates.

He said, "Embers were falling. The wind was 70 miles an hour, easily, and it was just like Armageddon."

Lowe's home was not damaged but he said, as authorities have, that the winds could change direction at any time.

"It's dead calm now, but if that wind kicks up it's going to be trouble, there's going to be no way to stop it."

Other celebrities have homes in the area, including, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, John Cleese, Michael Douglas, Christopher Lloyd and Steve Martin.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in coastal Santa Barbara county. Although no deaths have been reported from the fire, a 98-year-old man died shortly after being evacuated to a nearby hotel according to authorities.

When I think of Harrison Ford (which isn't a lot, but still....), I think of his Indiana Jones persona, semi-tough guy, adventurous - cool. Well, he's ditched that look and gone with something a bit softer and um, greener. Harrison, girlfriend Calista Flockhart, Calista's son Liam, 7, and a friend were spotted out trick or treating. Love the peas in a pod costume!

Liam was a Dodger Dog, his friend was a pretty princess and Calista was cute as a button as a hippie girl.

After "Ally McBeal" wrapped for the final time, Calista Flockhart (43) took time off to be a full-time mom for a few years. She adopted her son, Liam, in 2001 during the final season of McBeal and was loving life as a mom until her role on "Brothers & Sisters" came along a couple of years ago.

And she kind of freaked out about it. "All of a sudden," she says, "I wasn't home to pick Liam up from school, and I realized it wasn't really OK, and I wasn't happy, and I was scratching my eyes out." And apparently speaking in run-on sentences.

"I couldn't believe I'd put myself in this situation." She says that her boyfriend, Harrison Ford (66), stepped in and really helped her transition back to a working mom. "I was very comforted knowing that Harrison was there. He really stepped up and became a stay-at-home dad."

I just want to know if he wears the whip around the house. Seriously, how cool would it be to have Indiana Jones as your father?

Rob Lowe's Kids Were Terrified

trix — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:32:00 GMT

In the ongoing battle between Rob Lowe's family and the nanny new papers have been filed stating the "real story".

Rob and his wife stated that " she terrified their children by discussing gang activity in her neighborhood “in graphic” detail and sharing stories about people having their eyes and limbs cut off. The Lowes also claim that Boyce repeatedly used “racially inappropriate” words and discussed details about her sex life with the children. Boyce is also being accused of using the “n-word” when referring to her African-American friends and making inappropriate comparisons to her boyfriend’s genitals and household objects. Rob and Sheryl go on to claim that Boyce would “self-medicate on Xanax and alcohol.” The Lowes also claim that she would often come to their house with strangulation marks and facial bruising, blaming her physically abusive boyfriend. In November of 2007, the Lowes say that Boyce did not show up for work one day so they filed a missing person’s report and “feared for the worst”. In April, Boyce sued the Lowes, alleging that Sheryl Lowe created a “sexually offensive and hostile work environment” by using the “n-word” to describe Boyce’s boyfriend. She also claimed that Sheryl often walked around “naked, completely exposing herself.” While Boyce did not accuse Rob of sexual harassment, she is holding him jointly responsible.

It sounds like maybe they should have stayed home a little more and done a little more parenting rather than leave it all up to a nanny.

They have quite a few lawsuits against former employees for breach of contract, and other unsavory acts. They might want to check references before they hire anyone else to work for them.

That's why I'm not getting nanny, well that and the fact that I can't afford one.

Jennifer Garner Stands Up To Cancer

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:03:00 GMT

The stars showed up in force Friday night for the multi-network special "Stand Up To Cancer." The celebrity-studded fundraiser was all about raising awareness and money for cancer research. We've all lost someone we know to cancer. I made a donation in memory of my grandmother and stepfather. And while I was a tad disappointed that I didn't get to talk to Jennifer Garner and her baby bump on the phone bank, I suppose the bigger picture prevails.

You can still call this week or visit the Stand Up 2 Cancer site and make a donation. There are some amazing and promising new testing procedures out there. It'd be wonderful to see an end to cancer in this lifetime.

Superstars Stand Up For Cancer!

Karl Erikson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:28:00 GMT

Who among us has not been touched by cancer? Not a one, I'd venture to say. That's where Stand Up To Cancer comes in, an awareness- and fundraising telethon coming up September 5, starring tons of superstar celebrities and many of Famecrawler's fave celeb parents. In an unprecedented move, ABC, NBC, and CBS will all simultaneously air the special on their networks. You can see the video promo for the live special at the end of this post.

So far, there are over 60 celebrities scheduled for the telethon. The list includes Diane Keaton, Carrie Underwood, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Garner, Jack Black, Sheryl Crow, and Rob Lowe.

The celebs will be joined by the major network news anchors Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Charles Gibson and it's being deemed "edutainment," according to exec producer Laura Ziskin, herself a cancer survivor.

Couric herself lost her husband to colon cancer when he was 42, and several years later her sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. All this happened when Couric's daughters were just 6 and 2 years old. I remember it well.

Stand Up To Cancer also features the debut of a sure-to-be hit single called "Just Stand Up" by Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, and Mariah Carey. The song's proceeds will all go to cancer research.

The telethon is all about getting scientists to come together to fight cancer. Ziskin says it'll be "a phone-in, a sit-in, a love in" and "people can call in and talk to their favorite celebrity" when they call in to make a donation.

I love it when the power of celebrity is put to good use. I have a dear friend facing recurrent ovarian cancer for the third time, and I lost my stepfather to lung cancer four years ago. I'm sure you've been touched by cancer, too, and hope you'll tune in to this amazing project.

Rob Lowe's Wife Files Declaration About Her Naughty Nanny

Karen — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Rob Lowe's wife is claiming that former Nanny Jessica Gibson isn't the innocent party she is claiming to be.

In her declaration, Sheryl Lowe alleges Gibson regularly "sought attention from my husband". For example the nanny asked Rob Lowe to rub suntan lotion on her back during a family vacation.

Sheryl Lowe recalls, "(She) asked my husband, in front of me and sitting next to me, if he would rub sun block on her. I stepped in and said no, I would do it, and that was not appropriate for her to ask him." And there's MUCH more:

On a trip to England in 2005: "She (Gibson) had taken a shower and walked out of her bathroom, wrapped in only a towel, dripping wet and walked down two stories (sic) to the living room area where my husband was reading.

"When I saw her, I told her to go to her room and put on some clothes and never do that again."

Meanwhile, two previous employees of the Lowes have come forward with further allegations against Gibson -- tennis instructor Nigel Armstrong and chef James MacClear.

Armstrong claims the former nanny flirted with him - despite their 26 year age difference. In documents filed on Friday, Armstrong stated Gibson removed her pants and underwear and invited the tennis coach to have sex with her even though the Lowe's sons "were in the general area".

Chef James MacClear claims Gibson had an "overtly flirtatious manner".

A legal declaration filed in Santa Barbara County Superior Court on Friday alleges that within hours of meeting her, Gibson had "changed into hot pants and was laying on the kitchen floor with her legs open in a very suggestive manner."

We'll see if this information sinks Ms. Gibson's battleship, or if she'll do it herself!

Jessica Gibson, former nanny to the Lowes, is now saying that she never signed a confidentiality agreement, leaving her to say whatever she wants about her ex-employer.

TMZ is reporting that last February 25, Jessica sent an email saying "I need a copy of my confidentiality contract."

Hey Jess, you'd better hope you didn't have a contract (doubtful), because your apparent talk regarding your sexual affair could land you in some serious trouble!

Rob Lowe's Credibility Questioned in Media

Karen — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:51:00 GMT

Rob Lowe recently dropped the lawsuit he had against former chef Peter Clements, after Clements provided the Lowes with "accurate information."

"Once Peter Clements provided Rob and Sheryl Lowe with accurate information, the Lowes willingly dismissed their claims against him without cost to either side," the papers say.

The "papers" did not disclose what the "accurate information" is. Now I'm just "using" quotes wherever I "want," since this story is "obviously" missing certain elements that are "vital" to what the truth may or "may not" be.

Sources say the "chef" was originally sued because he allegedly backed up the nannies stories, but that turns out to be "false."

Gloria Allred, attorney to the nannies, says Lowe's dismissal of the lawsuit will "blow up in his face."

"Whatever Mr. Lowe has attempted to cook up smells bad and will leave a lasting bad taste in his attempts to go after two innocent nannies who loved and cared for his children," she says.

"It was a big mistake," says a "source" close to the "case."

Shanna Moakler Supports Ex-Nanny In Charges Against Rob Lowe

HerBadMother — Mon, 05 May 2008 14:53:00 GMT

So, that nanny who has charged Rob Lowe and his wife with being big ol' perverts? No, not the first one. The second one. Yeah, that one. Well, she used to nanny for Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker, and Shanna Moakler, for one, is standing right by her.

From People.com:

"I've been friends with Laura for the past ten years – before she was my nanny – and I completely stand by her," Moakler told PEOPLE exclusively.

A source added that Boyce appeared in at least one episode of Meet the Barkers, the MTV show about the unconventional family life of Moakler, a former Playboy centerfold, and her now ex-husband Travis Barker.

Which, you know - it's tempting to disregard the character reference of a former-Playboy-model-turned-reality-TV-star, but why should it? I mean, is Moakler's word any less trustworthy than Rob 'Oh Hai I Videotaped Young Girls Having Sex With Me 4 Fun' Lowe? Really?

Rob Lowe's Wife Facing Sexual Harassment Accusations

HerBadMother — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:08:00 GMT

First Rob Lowe was accused of being a perv - now his wife is, too. And the accusation isn't even coming from that first disgruntled nanny the Lowes accused of extortion - this is another nanny coming forward.

This doesn't look good.

People reports that:

A second former nanny of Rob Lowe filed a countersuit Wednesday in a Los Angeles court, accusing the actor's wife of sexual harassment, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.

Laura Boyce, who worked for the couple for seven months in 2007, claims Sheryl Lowe created an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment ... behaving in a ... perverted, disgusting and crude manner."

Boyce also alleges that Sheryl used the "n" word in reference to Boyce's boyfriend, who was an NBA player.

Sheryl also allegedly "walked around naked, completely exposing herself" to Boyce, asked about her boyfriend's private parts and talked about Sheryl's sex life with Rob.

This isn't going to help the Lowes in their efforts to paint the first nanny's accusations - which charged both Rob and his wife with perversion - as sour grapes.

Aaaaand it just gets dirtier and dirtier. Jessica Gibson, former nanny to Rob Lowe's kids, filed her suit against the Lowes yesterday, and WOW. Either that household was a total cesspool of grotty, grotty depravity, or Gibson is an evil exploitative bizatch. And/or totally insane. Or both.

TMZ got a hold of the suit, and reported on its contents, and can I say again? WOW:

In her suit, Gibson claims Lowe not only groped her, he repeatedly exposed his "flaccid penis" and his "erect penis" to her, repeatedly asked her "to touch his penis," repeatedly masturbated in front of her, showed her pornographic images on his computer, asked her to give him a massage and tell him dirty stories ... and that's just Rob!

She then says Rob's wife Sheryl walked around naked --"completely exposing herself" -- made "numerous sexually vulgar comments about male genitalia," "would talk about her sex life" with Rob and said that "she would never have a boyfriend because only a married man would want to f*** her."

Gibson says the Lowes paid her $18.00 an hour for her services. She's suing them for sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, retaliation, unpaid off-the-clock work, overtime wages and unpaid meal periods. She's asking for damages in excess of $50,000. She also said on this morning's "Today" show that she never tried to extort money from the Lowes, as Rob has alleged.

Lowe's lawyer says Gibson's allegations are "simply untrue."

What is one supposed to say about that? Wow, whoa, holy hell and grrroooosssss.

So who's telling the truth? I mean, the nanny stayed there SEVEN YEARS. Why would you stay somewhere seven years if there were penises and boobies being flapped at you all the time? On the other hand, this is Rob Lowe - he of the under-age girls in sex-tape fame - we're talking about. So what's one supposed to believe?

Nanny: Rob Lowe Was A Perv

HerBadMother — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:45:00 GMT

I feel badly for Rob Lowe's family that they're facing such an ugly controversy, but you know? I'm maybe feeling a little sorry for the nanny, too. I mean, as Karen reported here earlier today, she's not only saying that she didn't blackmail the Lowe family, she's alleging sexual harassment. And given Rob Lowe's history (that whole dirty video with underage girls thing? anyone, anyone?) I don't know that I'm prepared to discount her claims just 'cause Rob says that I should.

According to the Associated Press, Jessica Gibson stated in legal papers filed Monday in Santa Barbara, California, that Lowe touched her inappropriately several times between September 2005 and January 2008. Which, again - this is a guy who's gotten into trouble in the past for, um, interfering with young women. Sometimes very young women.

So I dunno. On the one hand, celebrities are easy targets for opportunists. On the other, this young woman worked for the Lowes for seven years and was reportedly excellent with their children, which suggests against a set-up. And, as I've already said: ROB LOWE. My husband refers to him as Raw Blow for a reason. He's not exactly Mr. Clean Hands.

We'll have to wait and see as the he-said/she-said plays out, but it seems clear that no matter what the truth? It's all ugly.

Rob Lowe's Former Nanny Speaks Out

Karen — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Yesterday on the Today Show, Jessica Gibson, former nanny to Rob Lowe, spoke about her time with the Lowe family and the pending lawsuit against her, another nanny and a chef. She spoke about the alleged sexual battery and abuse she suffered at the hands of Rob himself.

TMZ reported:

Gibson did say that she never blackmailed Rob to the tune of $1.5 mil, and claimed that she didn't call the cops despite the alleged sexual battery during her seven-year stint with the Lowes because she "loved the children, and I needed the job." She wouldn't go into what Lowe supposedly did to her.

Gibson admitted writing the emails to the Lowe family but said they were meant to "appease" the Lowes.

More details here from Catherine.

Rob Lowe Sues Two Nannies and A Chef

Karen — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:33:00 GMT

Sounds like a movie title, doesn't it? Well it's Rob Lowe's reality right now. The actor is suing two former nannies and a chef for trying to extort money out of him and his wife.

The Huffington Post recently published Lowe's story regarding the matter, in which he described one nanny of trying to "attempt to damage and humiliate" his family. From the story:

A former employee is demanding my wife Sheryl and I pay her $1.5 million by the end of the week or she will accuse us both of a vicious laundry list of false terribles. It is an attempt to damage and humiliate not only my wife and me, but our two young sons as well. My family is devastated at this betrayal; this woman worked in our home and traveled with us off and on for seven years, without complaint. In fact, she left other jobs to return to work for us three different times. Several weeks ago she quit abruptly, leaving us without a replacement.

Lowe goes on to share text messages from the nanny, and it's clear that she is a few towels short of a linen closet now that she is suddenly crying abuse. Lowe is clearly concerned for his wife and especially, his two young children.

It is indeed a pretty sad state of affairs when someone decides to sue merely for financial gain. We live in such a litigous society and the true victims are getting the raw end of the deal.
