Let Me Tell You How to Get to Sesame Street

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Can you believe that "Sesame Street" is getting ready to start its 39th season? Crazy, right?

Well, it's true and this year promises to be the best yet because they're going to focus more on math!

I suppose that's a good thing, but that's not really why you're reading about "Sesame Street" on FameCrawler. No, we are in it for the celebrities.

In the upcoming season we'll see some of our favorite celebrity parents (and soon-to-be), as well as some other people that I'm too lazy to Google for parental status.

Here is a quick list of some of the stars you'll find singing, rhyming and arithmeticin' this season (starts August 11th): Will Arnett, Feist, Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Brian Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jack Black, Jenny McCarthy, Feijoo Sisters and Jason Taylor. Impressive, isn't it?

Also of note are some of the planned sketches that build upon popular culture: "30 Rocks," "Pre-School Musical" and "Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer," all of which sound pretty darn funny and/or eductional.

Awesome.

I Demand a Recount: Patrick Dempsey is the Sexiest Man Alive

Something's fishy over at People magazine.

Sorry Matt. I've taken another poll (of me and my libido) and Patrick Dempsey is definitely the Sexiest Man Alive. Even you have to admit he's pretty hot.

People has him as a runner-up, but I definitely think a recount is in order. Illegal campaign funds, a hanging chad - I say Dempsey was robbed. Oh well - at least David Beckham didn't win this one.

Kate Walsh Pregnant With Triplets?

Has the former Grey's Anatomy actress been getting in a little extra Private Practice? Actually, the rumor was a clever, cheap way for me to get both of Kate Walsh's TV shows into one sentence. But Walsh started tongues wagging with a remark she made to an Extra correspondent in response to rumors that she is expecting a child with her husband, TV executive Alex Young. "I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good," she quipped, but later added,"Right now, my baby is Private Practice...she is beautiful, strong, and growing every week."

Nice cover, Kate, but here at FameCrawler we're paid to sniff out these rumors. What's with the loose fitting dress? Any odd cravings lately? We'll be waiting - I'm certain someone will catch you next week buying baby clothes and planning a nursery.

Britney Spears Would Like an Apology From Maxim; In Other News, Still No Sign of Hell Freezing Over

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 22:25:00 GMT

So the story is that Britney Spears had no idea she was on Maxim's list of unsexiest women, and almost crashed a party that the magazine was hosting on Tuesday night at Opera nightclub. In order to avoid an awkward situation once Britney was inside the club, her friends informed her of her inclusion in the group that includes Sarah Jessica Parker and Madonna, and the pop star was shocked that such a list even existed. I hear she threatened to send in her parenting coach to kick the editor's ass, but when that didn't work she decided to demand an apology from Maxim instead.

Seeing as the mean-spirited list was meant to incite and was obviously written by a bunch of ugly lonely men with small penises, I don't see any apologies, private or public coming Britney's way. I think her best bet is to stop trying to crash parties and concentrate on her mothering skills. Otherwise, she'll definitely be in the running to make another list: Worst Parent of 2007. Move over Alec Baldwin!

Sarah Jessica Parker Laughs Off "Unsexiest Woman Alive" Title

Karen — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 16:11:00 GMT

Last month Maxim lost my subscription by writing an article that got a ton of press: they named what they think are the 5 Unsexiest Women Alive. We at Famecrawler sure thought it was mean as hell but it didn't seem to faze the top condenter.

Well Maxim, it seems Sarah Jessica Parker didn't get wrinkled over your stupid and degrading article. I, for one, LOVE her for it: "What they don't know is that one day I'll wake up fat. But I'll still be happy, just like I am now. I believe in the old 'sticks and stones' philosophy, so frankly their words don't come close to hurting. And it does not bother me in the least if people don't think I'm sexy. "I don't think I am, either."

To me, there's nothing sexier than a person, male or female, who is comfortable in their own skin. Not that you asked, but I think SJP is a hot mom, totally, and your comments over here tell me I'm not alone.

Ferris Bueller Loves Jessica Rabbit

HerBadMother — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:03:00 GMT

And not just for her body, though I'm sure that helps.

Matthew Broderick - who plays an animated bee in Jerry Seinfeld's upcoming Bee Movie - told Redbook.com recently that the cartoon character he would most compare his wife to would be Jessica Rabbit. Maxim Magazine would probably say Olive Oyl, but we hate Maxim now because they're misogynistic haters, so never mind what they would say. ~~Ferris~~ Matthew has a point: they don't come much more spectacularly built that Sarah Jessica Parker. Shame that he only gets to be a bee, though. That cartoon sex would be kinda tricky between a rabbit and a bee. And the offsrping would be kinda weird. Good thing they had kid pre-animation.

Maxim Unveils "Unsexiest Women" List: Sarah Jessica Parker Leads Madonna And Britney In Fug

HerBadMother — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 17:33:00 GMT

Maxim Magazine has just named Sarah Jessica Parker as the Unsexiest Woman Alive, and they weren't exactly, um, nice about it:

"How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with 'sex' in the title?" they said. "Pull your skirt down, Secretariat, we´d rather ride Chris Noth."

Ouch, ouch, ouch. That's mean. Though, truth be told, I've never understood why people think she's hot. I don't think she's fug - "Barbaro-faced" is way harsh - but I certainly don't see oodles of sex appeal there. Ferris Bueller could have done better, I think. What ever happened to Sloane? She was hot.

Moms, sadly, were over-represented on Maxim's top five Unsexiest Women list: Madonna clocked in at number four ("with a mug that looks Euro-sealed to her skull") and Britney rounded out the top five in fifth place ("less than five years ago, Britney had a python wrapped around her well-toned torso onstage at the VMAs. Since then, she´s lost the ability to perform, but gained two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of Funyun pudge.") Amy Winehouse (they've got a point here; she needs detox and a good scrub-down) and Sandra Oh (I protest!) came in at numbers two and three.

Too mean, I think, even for me. What do you think?
