Coco Arquette Is A Perfectionist

Sassy Smith — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:06:00 GMT

Coco Arquette, 4-year-old daughter of Courteney Cox and David Arquette is already showing signs of being a perfectionist - just like her mom.

During a recent interview on the Rachel Ray show, Cox tells guest interviewer Gabrielle Reece, that Coco doesn't have her dad's laid back attitude. Courteney said, "She's just like me."

"She's very artistic, but she's also a perfectionist. And that's the part I see in her that's like me and you don't want them to have that at 4. I feel a little bad. I see her being really particular," explained Courteney.

Courteney says she has a great parenting partner in husband David. "I don't have any resentments like a lot of people can have in relationships, where they don't do their part.

"David's definitely right there, 50-50."

And what about more kids? Will Courteney and David give Coco any siblings?

Adds the former Friends star, "I used to think I would have 8 [children]. When I was growing up I wanted a big family and now, I don't know what will happen. I guess anything can happen. It will either happen or it won't. Very soon! I mean, I won't be 80 going, 'Well, I'm still thinking about it..."

Hmm, maybe she's pregnant now? Never mind, just thinking out loud.

Courteney Cox Is Working Again

Eva LaRue To Marry For Third Time!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 14:39:00 GMT

Ex All My Children star and current CSI Miami actress, Eva LaRue vowed never to marry again, but the pretty 41-year-old has changed her mind and will tie the knot for the third time, with Joe Cappuccio!

She tells InStyle Weddings, "I told him, 'I'm looking for a long-term companion', but I don't see the sense in getting married again." They apparently hit it off and although both have been married twice before, decided that they belonged together.

The couple are planning a beautiful beach wedding in Mexico next June with about 40 guests.

She adds, "Within a month or two, we were both on the wedding train. It just seemed silly not to marry the person you've loved more than anybody."

Eva though, still hasn't found a dress. "I want one that's long but not too poufy. But I haven't had a chance to go shopping yet."

LaRue is mom to daughter Kaya McKenna (dad is ex-husband and All My Children co-star John Callahan).

Maybe she and Joe will have a child together - gosh, another celebrity bump watch!

Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Over?!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:05:00 GMT

Talk show host Kelly Ripa and actor Mark Consuelos seemed to have it all - successful careers, beautiful home, three adorable children - but apparently the couple are having marital problems. Why? Because Kelly is unhappy about Mark's new found celebrity on the Oprah Show and he wants to pack up and head to Chicago to live.

Mark is set to hit the big time now that he has employment with The Oprah Winfrey Show and said the job could land him in Chicago full time. However, Kelly is not wanting to move and the couple have been arguing about their future together.

According to reports, the fighting has gotten so bad, Mark packed his bags and left Kelly in tears.

An insider said, "Mark wants the big time and he knows Oprah is his ticket. He told Kelly for the night opportunity, he'd move to Chicago if he had to.

"But because the couple has three kids - and Kelly is deeply committed to her role on Live with Regis and Kelly - there's no way she could leave New York and she doesn't want to live without Mark."

The source added, "If Mark moves out to strike it on his own, Kelly's whole world will collapse.

"Kelly doesn't want Mark to succeed without her. She becomes upset every week when he has to travel from New York to Chicago and spend the night away from the family to appear on Oprah's show.

"He walked out leaving Kelly in tears. They continued to fight over their cell phones until the boarded his plane."

Come on, they're rich - big deal if he has to fly back and forth! Plus, they seem pretty solid and I doubt they want to split up their family.

Kelly and Mark are parents to three children - Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin 5.

Joely Fisher Introduces Daughter Olivia to the World

Karl Erikson — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Joely Fisher, star of "'Til Death," is quite the busy lady. She's already a mom to daughters Skylar Grace, 7, and True Harlow, 2-1/2, as well as stepsons Cameron, 24, and Colin, 22. PLUS she has two dogs. But with a heart as big as hers, Joely knew there was room for more. Thus came Olivia Luna, a baby she adopted in September after she took a summer trip to Mozambique.

Joely says, "Once I was in Africa, I felt the people I met wanted me to help them sustain their lives in their own country." After she returned home with husband Christopher Duddy, they decided to adopt privately and domestically.

Only two weeks later, they got a call from their adoption agency. An unwed teenage mother gave birth the day before and wanted to talk to Joely. Days later, the adoption was final, and Joely and Christopher welcomed the new baby into their home.

It didn't matter to her or Christopher that the baby wasn't white. "I had no preference," Joely says. "I felt we belonged together. When I found out it was a girl, I was happy. She'll grow up with two loving sisters and spectacular hand-me-downs."

Now that Olivia is settled into the family, Joely couldn't be happier. "It's chaos around here. But I love watching pieces of my heart running around the house. This is a dream come true."

Courteney Cox Is (Was) A Botox Babe

Sassy Smith — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:05:00 GMT

Most celebrities won't admit to having work done, whether it be just a little injection or major surgery, but actress Courteney Cox admits to having used Botox. And in a business where you have to look young, sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do....

The Friends star graces the cover of Marie Claire and the actress dishes on her experience with aging in Hollywood.

On how she's shocked she's not the youngest chick in town anymore:

"I've never seen so many beautiful people walking around. Then as I get older, I find myself going, Wow, I can't believe I'm not the youngest one anymore! I can't believe that that guy over there" - she points at our friend, who has run his hands through his hair so many times I consider offering him a comb - "wouldn't be attracted. I'm married; it's a nonissue. But I'm kind of like, Whoa! If I were single, that person wouldn't want to hang out with me."

Her experience with having a bit of work done:

"Botox? I think it's fantastic and also horrible. I mean, they've come up with this stuff that can make you not look angry. But you have to use it sparingly. I went to this doctor once and he was like, 'Oh, let me do it just here and here and here.' And I was miserable. I mean, I'm an actor, I've got to be able to move my face.

"When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrows, that's weird. It's not that I haven't tried Botox - but I hated it. I'm under pressure to not do anything."

Her husband David Arquette is against her getting anything permanent done:

"It's really important to him. He loves the aging process. He thinks it's beautiful." Not only is Courteney under pressure from him to not do too much, "I'm under pressure to not do anything," she says. (Those rumors a few years back about breast implants, when she was filming The Longest Yard? I'm staring at her Libertine T-shirt with Steve McQueen on the front. My verdict? No way. "At the time I had these huge boobs, because I was breast-feeding."

I think she looks fantastic - Botox or not!

Jaime Pressly's Child Inherited the Loud Gene

Karl Erikson — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:03:00 GMT

"My Name is Earl" star Jaime Pressly was on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" last week and talked about life with her 16-month-old son, Dezi James Calvo. She said that the Pressly genes aren't very strong, so it's kind of surprising that Dezi has big blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, like his mom.

Her fiance, Eric, is "very, very dark. He's Cuban with an olive complexion. Dezi came out looking like you [Conan]. It's pretty crazy! Although he does tan really well."

Where the genes come in rather strongly, she says, is in the voicebox. "Cubans are very loud," she says. "You think that when they're speaking to each other in Spanish they're mad, but they're really just saying, 'Hey, do you want to go get a cup of coffee?'"

"So that kid is just like 'MOMMY!' all the time."

Weird, I scream "MOMMY!" every time I see Jaime, too. Is it just me?

The new season of "My Name is Earl," thankfully, has returned to NBC.

Kelly Ripa Still Makes Alone Time for Herself

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Kelly Ripa, 37-year-old cohost of "Live With Regis & Kelly," talks about parenthood and happiness in the September issue of First magazine. Kelly and husband Mark Consuelos have been married for 12 years now, and are the parents of Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin, 5.

As busy as she is, she still finds alone time, which is really necessary for the sanity of any parent. "I try to run every day in the park," Ripa says. "I find that I'm a better wife and mom if I take a half hour for myself every day. It can feel selfish, but it makes a big difference. If you don't, you'll feel overwhelmed and resentful."

What does she do with her kids? With Lola, she builds fairy houses by gathering materials such as sticks, seashells, toothpicks...whatever she can find. Then they leave their little houses in the woods for the fairies. I guess the Queer Eye dudes love that shit.

The boys are more into video games and are constantly bargaining for more game time. "I'll take out the trash if you let me have 10 minutes of video game time," the boys will say.

The Daytime Emmy winner is also involved with the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). "I lost a friend to ovarian cancer, so that’s very close to me. When I do Super Saturday (an annual event Kelly cohosts to help raise money for the OCRF) and see an ovarian cancer survivor and she says, ‘Thank you for doing this. Maybe my daughter won’t have to know what ovarian cancer is’...that’s why I do it. If my job can improve someone’s quality of life, that gives me great satisfaction."

Kelly Ripa Bribes Her Kids With Chinese Food

Sassy Smith — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:08:00 GMT

I normally think Live With Regis and Kelly co-host, Kelly Ripa, 37, is annoying, but seriously, any celebrity mom who bribes her kids like the rest of us do from time to time, is A-Okay in my book!

Kelly and husband Mark Consuelos, parents of three kids - Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin, 5, - say that all it takes is a little Chinese food and you'll have her kiddies eating out of the palm of your hand.

"If you offer my kids free chopsticks, they will do anything. They will clean their room - they will clean your room if you say, 'I have a fortune cookie for you.'"

Kelly says that both she and Mark are very hands-on parents.

"My day is my own. It’s a great life. I want to take my kids to their things. I want to see that."

Mark does his fair share with the kids.

Says Kelly, "He's very involved. I'd say we're 50/50, more so than most couples. He's good with consistency. He has far more patience than I have. If the kids look at me and say, 'I don't want to make my bed today, help me,' I'll help them. Whereas he's like, 'That's your responsibility, your room, and you have to pick it up.'"

Does Kelly have help?

“Oh yeah, of course!” she says. “Oh my god, you need it, especially with three kids. I am amazed that my mom never had a babysitter, ever.”

She however, does not have a huge team of nannies like some celebrities.

It’s just one person pitching in every day, running errands like bringing a forgotten lunch to school. “I don’t expect anyone to do my parenting for me."

They actually sound pretty normal - as normal as a celebrity can be!

Victoria aka Posh Beckham is Ugly! So Ugly in fact, that she's wanted again and maybe even a third time! And a fourth time! She may be Ugly for a very long time.

Video after the jump!

Beckham is set to return to the hit show Ugly Betty after she successfully wowed the bosses during her cameo role last year. Victoria played herself (stretch eh?) as a bridesmaid to Vanessa Williams' character as the betchy fashion boss, Wilhelmina Slater.

There's even rumors that Posh will be a regular guester on the show. A source told the Sydney Morning Herald, "The producers are delighted she will return. She is going to feature quite a bit."

Wonderful that Victoria can play herself. That must be hard! I bet her kids don't even recognize their mom playing herself on TV.

In case you missed it or are even slightly interested, enjoy the clips from her first appearance:

A lot of parents have the same time honored battle with their little ones and getting them to eat their veggies. Are you one of those frustrated parents who would just love to see your child eat some carrots or broccoli? Actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley may just have the solution to your struggles.

Kimberly, 36, along with her father, Gurney Williams have written a new children's book, "Henry and the Hidden Veggie Garden," and the goal is to encourage kids to love their veggies and also gives readers a look into Kimberly's life on her Tennessee ranch with her country music star husband, Brad Paisley and their adorable 15-month-old son, Huck.

The book, was also penned in support of the Love Your Veggies Nationwide School Lunch Campaign, which is now in it's second year. The program offered $10,000 nutrition education grants to one elementary school in each state. To read more on the organization - www.LoveYourVeggiesGrants.org .

Kelly Ripa Saved Eva LaRue's Daughter From Drowning!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:05:00 GMT

Who knew talk show host Kelly Ripa was a hero? She saved good friend - CSI Miami co-star Eva LaRue's daughter Kaya from drowning!

Back in 2005, Eva was set to audition for CSI Miami but beforehand was spending some time with Kelly Ripa in the Hamptons. Their daughters - Kaya and Lola Consuelos respectively - were playing in the little pond part, not quite the ocean. Eva recalls that day vividly:

"Kaya had stepped off an underwater ledge and was literally drowning like 50 yards away from us. Lola was standing on the ledge, and standing knee deep in the water. We couldn’t figure out, we were like, maybe Kaya’s swimming. We stood there and watched her, for the longest time, not realizing that she’s drowning. Then we both realized at the same time, Kelly and I are running stripping through the water. Kelly got to her before I did and pulled her out of the water, so I didn’t end up going to the audition. I was like, forget it, I’m not going, I’m too traumatized, like oh my god, my kid almost died while I sat there and watched her. So I didn’t go.”

How scary, and I'm glad her little girl was okay! And of course we know that Eva did end up getting the part eventually.
