Texting Tween Too Busy For Rock Star Father's Affection

Josh loposer — Thu, 14 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

The Rockets weren't the only ones getting denied on the court during game 5 of the Lakers-Rockets playoff series. It looks like Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was having a tough time competing with his daughter's cell phone.

Richie and his daughter spent some quality father-daughter time courtside at the Lakers game Tuesday night where they were snapped by the paps. My take on the photo is that Richie is thinking: 'she's growing up so fast, sniffle.'

I can't really tell whether she taking a photo here or just trying to get the glare off of here screen here, but she seems to be pretty sucked in to the digital world. I'm sure most parents feel that this is a perfect Norman Rockwell-esque slice of life subject for parenting in 2009.

11-year-old Ava is Richie's daughter with ex-wife and super-babe Heather Locklear who've been officially separated since 2007.

Tom Burlinson took his family to the Sydney premiere of Disney's latest hit High School Musical 3 and you didn't. Deal with it.

HSM3: Kevin Smith

Something about Kevin Smith attending the premiere of Disney's High School Musical 3 just doesn't feel right. It's like Tarentino going to see the new Veggie Tales.

I'm sure Harley Quinn Smith (yes, like the Joker's ladyfriend) and her pal had something to do with it, not to mention the dreaminess that is Zac Efron.

Michael Chiklis would rather stand behind his daughter Odessa than a shield. I know, that's clever, and much better than my Thing joke.

Chiklis took his daughter to the the L.A. premiere of Disney's High School Musical 3: The Return of the Senior (or something like that).

Cute kids. Cute and soon to be very bored kids. Don't they seem a bit young for Zannesa?

Jonathan Ross and his wife have two other children, but apparently his youngest, 11-year-old daughter Honey Kinney, is the HSM fan.

Together they attended the London premiere of Disney's latest teen musical.

Nine-year-old Megan, eight-year-old twins Jack and Holly and six-year-old Matilda were looking pretty pleased with the evening, despite the disturbing lack of popcorn.

Camp Rock! It Happens Tonight!

Whit Honea — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:58:00 GMT

OMG! Holy Disney teen idols! Today is finally, finally here! Camp Rock will rock you tonight on the Disney Channel.

The DCOM is a formulated hit featuring some of the hottest stars of today (see Jonas Brothers) and Disney hopes, those of tomorrow like Demi Lovato (no offense Selena Gomez).

It's funny that the show hasn't even aired yet and it's already huge. Send your kids to Camp Rock at 8/7c tonight (and probably every night for the rest of the summer) on the Disney Channel.

Disney's Selena Gomez Has Big Shoes to Fill

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:28:00 GMT

Selena Gomez has been all but crowned the next 'it' teen for Disney. This is a long and impressive list, and it is also a very checkered one.

Remember when it was generally accepted that Christina Aguilera was the bad one and that Britney Spears was golden? Time is funny, isn't it? The thing is, the press loves to make a big deal about the troubles of the Disney teen idol (the girls that is, you don't hear anything about Justin Timberlake or Zac Efron- apparently gender is funny, too), but for every Lindsay Lohan spreading stank in her wake there is a Hilary Duff working hard and doing it right. For every Vanessa Anne Hudgens there is an Anne Hathaway.

The most recent young lady to sit the throne, Miley Cyrus, is in a bit of PR spin, but let's be frank, she hasn't done anything wrong. She isn't doing drugs or endangering small children. Sure, there have been pictures released that may cast question on her judgment, but hey, she wasn't nude. She's just a teenager doing teenage stuff, but unlike most kids she's filthy rich and living under a microscope. It's hard to believe the commotion a few artsy photos caused when one channel over an equally young teenage star is about ready to have a baby. Isn't that a bit more scandalous?

So, the question is, will Miss Gomez be pregnant and in rehab before sweeps week or will she be able to stay the path despite the lures and pitfalls it offers?

Her parents swear she'll be okay, and like other well-meaning showbiz parents before them are putting themselves in the position to either protect their daughter or make total asses of themselves. Hey, it happens.

According to People, Selena's mother Mandy Teefey claims that she (along with Selena's dad) will keep her daughter out of trouble. For instance, she has a midnight curfew (or earlier) and never attends events without a parent. She is also held accountable with duties around the house. Says Teefey, "If she cooks, I clean. If I cook, she cleans. She has to help feed the dogs. There are really no set chores. We just all pitch in when needed."

We hear this talk from parents all the time. I hope they manage to avoid the trappings of the limelight and don't go the way of the Lohans. I really don't want to be searching for this post in 8 months as a reference to the calm before the storm.

Good luck, Selena, to you and your family.

Happy Birthday Miley Cyrus!

Whit Honea — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus turned 15 yesterday on Black Friday. I think it was pretty bright for her. You see, she may have been snubbed by Britney Spears who apparently ignored the Cyrus family Thanksgiving invitation, but she's doing okay. She 's 15-years-old, is selling out stadiums faster than the Beatles, getting ready to film a movie and playing a show in Nashville. That's this week.

On the downside, she's getting old enough now that we'll be weening her off of FameCrawler, but that's okay. This little bird can fly.
