Lars Ulrich's Kids Now Think He's Awesome

Josh loposer — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is enjoying a newfound level of respect from his kids now that he's been immortalized as a character in one of the most iconic games of a generation: Guitar Hero.

Sure, Liev Schreiber may have a 7-Eleven Slurpee cup action figure -- and that might get you pretty far with a 2-year-old -- but doesn't even begin to compare with the coolness factor of being a star of one of your child's favorite video games. Lars' appearance in Guitar Hero: Metallica has apparently had a profound effect on the respect he gets from his little ones: Layne, 8, and Myles, 10 and a half.

“In the age of spending a lot of time forcing them to finish their vegetables and do their home work and get to school on time, [that] dad actually has his own video game certainly helps. And will continue to help into adolescence!”

Ulrich's youngest, 23-month-old Bryce Thadeus is a little too young to get in on the digitized guitar shredding that goes on in the Ulrich playroom. Luckily, he's also a little too young to start rolling his eyes when dad's being totally lame.

50 Cent and Son Beat Each Other Silly...at Video Games

Karl Erikson — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:38:00 GMT

Believe it or not, 50 Cent has a video game coming out next month. It's called "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand." And Mr. Cent aka Curtis James Jackson is an avid gamer. He and his 11-year-old son Marquise play tons of video games together.

50 Cent's love for the game started out on the tour bus, when he and rapper Eminem battled wits with - wait for it - Ms. Pac Man. "Eminem still wants to play that," 50 says. But when it comes to his son, the 33-year-old rapper says it's a whole other ball game. He laughs, "He's better than me. I don't know how this is happening." Marquise wins time after time.

"He just whips me repeatedly. I'd rather play before I even let him see it. Then, for a little while, it will be exciting because I'll beat him. We talk while we play. He says things like I would say and I'm like, 'You're not supposed to say that. I'm supposed to say that.'"

You know, things like, "I'm gonna put a cap in that cop's ass." Normal everyday stuff.

I have a way to beat kids at video games every time and it sounds like it's right up 50 Cent's alley. Break the kid's fingers.

Reese, Jake, and Get Musical for the Holidays

Karl Erikson — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:36:00 GMT

With Christmas less than a week away, Reese Witherspoon, daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe (9), and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal went to Ava's holiday concert Thursday. Jake even brought Ava a bouquet to congratulate her.

Reese is also a mom to Deacon Reese, 5, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Reese can currently be seen in the movie "Four Christmases" with Vince Vaughn. She also has an animated film coming out in March called "Monsters vs. Aliens." She voices one of the characters along with other big shots like Paul Rudd, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Colbert, and Keifer Sutherland.

Reese Witherspoon Has Four Christmases and Maybe One Horse

Reese Witherspoon is a Scaredy Cat

Kate Hudson is Christmas Crafty

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:35:00 GMT

Kate Hudson's son Ryder, 4, might want to prepare himself for not getting that Wii or new skateboard for Christmas. Hudson says she'll be knitting all her presents this year. Don't worry Ryder - a spiffy new cardigan or a fluffy muffler is just as much fun as Super Mario Galaxy.

Hudson, who was interviewed on Friday at a press conference for her new movie Bride Wars, says she's feeling the economic pinch just like everyone else, and that's where her craftiness will come in handy. “I think it’s a really weird time and I think that everyone is feeling it," she says. “We’ve always been pretty crafty anyway. We all knit. The girls knit. This year I’m doing these great big knit…well, actually I shouldn’t even talk about it because I can’t say it!”

Come to think of it, I'm pretty broke, too, and some handmade gifts might be just the answer. I don't knit, but I think I might be able to make a couple of nice paperweights out of some rocks and tempera paint. Hey - it's the thought that counts.

Reese Witherspoon Puts Kids' Comfort First

Karl Erikson — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 20:06:00 GMT

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, and all that jazz. And Reese Witherspoon is preparing for the holidays just like the rest of us...except she has tons more money and can probably get a Wii Fit without batting an eye. Sometimes it's good to have connections.

Reese shares custody of her kids - Ava Elizabeth, 9, and Deacon Reese, 5 - with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. "I'm very lucky in that we raise our kids to just be happy," says Reese, 32. "I think the most important thing is the children. What do they want, what makes them feel comfortable?"

She and Reese still talk a lot, of course. She talked a little about her marriage, too. "I had a certain idea what I thought marriage gives, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way so you have to be open to whatever comes your way in life. Love and relationships take all kinds of shapes and it's not necessarily the ones you recognize."

Um, yeah. OK. That's a really long, convoluted way to say "shit happens."

Reese has a new movie coming out November 26th called "Four Christmases," which costars Vince Vaughn. I won't be seeing it because, well, it has Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn in it. Shut it. Did you SEE "Fred Claus?" "The Breakup?" He hasn't done anything decent since "Wedding Crashers."

Let's Play The Super Obama World Video Game!

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:05:00 GMT

What could possibly top finding out you're going to get that puppy you've always wanted, and then you get invited onto the Hannah Montana show, and then you get to move into the White House? How about having a video game created that stars your dad? Forget Super Mario - Malia and Sasha have Super Obama!

In a barely-veiled jab at Sarah Palin, President-Elect Barack Obama collects flags (instead of Mario coins) as he journeys through Alaska, defeating Republican lobbyists and dodging lipstick-wearing pit-bulls along the way. Traveling past Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, help Super Obama defeat the woman with the rack of clothes and get 150,000 points when you squish her! (Obviously a reference to Palin's much-publicized $150,000 spending spree.)

So come on, kids - let's play Super Obama World! Way more fun than field-dressing a moose.

Play the game HERE.

Mark and Rhea- Together Forever, Never To Part

trix — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:31:00 GMT

I promise it's not a rickroll.

Mark Wahlberg is determined to make his marriage work.

He said that after he and Rhea Durham split when their daughter Ella was born he made the mistake of walking away.

He said, "We broke up after Ella was born. We'd been on again, off again for those few years. But we always wanted to make it work, we wanted to be together, we wanted to raise our family together. And it's been a lot of hard work and counseling, and I think that's the only way to make it work, to put in the time and effort. I can't talk about why and what happened (when I left), obviously. But going away doesn't make it work."

So they aren't just staying together for the kids. They have Ella, 4, Michael, 2, and are expecting another baby later this month.

The couple is planning to marry after the baby is born, because you know, she doesn't want to be 9 months pregnant and walking down the aisle.

I feel for Rhea because it is so hot right now.

Angelina Jolie In Playboy (Photos)

Sassy Smith — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:09:00 GMT

Who says Hugh Hefner doesn't have good taste? He knows how to pick them and certainly Angelina Jolie in Playboy would be a good thing?

More photos after the jump!

No she hasn't posed yet - she's sort of busy, you know, with 89 kids (okay, only 6, but still), and she's not been formally asked but Hef wants her. He was recently asked who he thought the sexiest women in the world are, he replied, "Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie." He's expressed his desire to see either of the Hollywood actresses in his mag.

"We don't go for glamour - what we are looking for is a very natural girl-next-door look. I think that's what sets things at the very beginning - what set the Playmate centrefolds apart."

Hefner had said a few years ago, when Angie was then pregnant with daughter Shiloh, "I'm hoping to bump into Angelina Jolie to get her to do Playboy after she has had the baby."

Would Angelina pose? We've seen her do nude scenes in movies but that's not exactly the same thing. I personally doubt she ever would - especially now that she's had kids.

I'm guessing a lot of people would LOVE to see her in Playboy though. Just a hunch. In the meantime, you can see THE CREEPIEST Angelina Jolie Photos EVER.

There's pretty Ella Rae Wahlberg with daddy Mark. She got upset at a soccer practice and Mark was there to console her. Wahlberg, 37, is expecting a third child with girlfriend Rhea Durham later in September. His next movie, Max Payne, is based on a video game and due to be released in October.

Golfer Aaron Baddeley and Wife Are Expecting

Karl Erikson — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:33:00 GMT

Australian Pro golfer Aaron Baddeley's wife, Richelle, is due to have their first child in November. So when she was admitted to a hospital last week during a US PGA Tour event, he almost left the match.

"I was close to pulling out and going home but she told me to stay," said Baddeley, 27. "Everything was OK, and she had her friends and family with her. She's going to be on bedrest for the rest of the pregnancy."

Aaron has joint Australian-U.S. citizenship and has been married to Richelle for 3 years now. He's won 2 PGA tournaments and ranks in the top 50 golfers worldwide.

Here's to hoping Richelle does great for the next couple of months. Rest up, play video games, and read lots of Famecrawler. Dr. Karl's orders.

Creepiest Angelina Jolie Photos You'll Ever See

Sassy Smith — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:37:00 GMT

No doubt about it, Angelina Jolie is beautiful. But the photos you'll see after the cut, creep me out!

Pics after the jump!

Portrait artist and doll painter, Noel Cruz has created Angelina Jolie dolls and apparently one was sold on Ebay for $3,350. They are 'life-like' but in a weird, 'can't stop looking at them, can't look away' sorta way. The guy is obviously talented but still, the dolls give me the heebee jeebies.

Cruz has done other celebs too - Daniel Craig, Annie Lennox, Tobey Maguire and Celine Dion, to name a few. I wonder what Angie's kids would think of the dolls? Would they want to play with them or run from the room screaming?

Angelina Jolie Has Become A Recluse

Sassy Smith — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:13:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie has turned into a recluse, refusing to leave the French estate that she and her partner Brad Pitt and their six kids make their home.

A source according to NW mag,claims that Angie is "refusing to leave" the French chateau and that she's terrified that someone will try to kidnap one of the kids. If she doesn't know where all six kids are at any given minute, she gets "hysterical."

Another publication, Grazia says that Angelina is a "virtual recluse" because she "has not been seen in public for at least two months." Uh, let's venture a guess as to why....she JUST HAD TWINS. She HAS FOUR OTHER CHILDREN. Perhaps she's a bit busy? Perhaps she's kinda tired? Ya think?

If a celebrity is seen out in public days after giving birth, they're not taking care of their baby (and therefore a bad parent) and if they've not been out for a couple of months after giving birth, they've become a recluse. Can't win can they?

I'm assuming Angelina is tired, trying to get into a routine with her infant twins, chasing after the other four, getting ready for the older kids to start school - she's slightly tied up. I'm guessing she'll make an appearance when she's damn good and ready.

Angelina Desperate To Regain Her Figure For Brad

Angelina Jolie - Taking Care Of Twins Is Exhausting

Guy Kisses Angelina Jolie, Gets His Face Smacked

Sassy Smith — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie's co-star kissed her and that was a big mistake my friends, a big mistake.....

Jason Butler Harner, who co-stars with Jolie in Clint Eastwood's film, Changeling said, "I try to be selective with my improvising." He asked Eastwood if, during a particular scene with Jolie, he could kiss her - Clint said sure. Harner adds, "He could see it happening and he said, 'Do it and we'll see what happens.'"

In the movie's climatic scene, Angelina was supposed to be pushing the actor against a wall, and her character was asking, "Did you kill my son?" Her character then becomes hysterical.

Harner said, "I had talked to her at the beginning of the day. We had a big scene, and we're supposed to be coming out of our corners, so it was a 'How do we do this?'" However, never did Jason mention he was going to plant one on her. But Clint had approved it earlier with Jason and Eastwood likes to shoot and use things that actors don't expect. Clint wanted Angie caught off guard and oh boy, she was. It was during the last week of a 35-day shoot.

Harner says of what happened, "She slapped me and she held me and she hit me and it was great. She totally went with it. She's really smart. She's beautiful, but she's really smart, and she's a great actress."

Uh ya, you don't mess with Angelina. Actress? Check! Beautiful? Check! Mom of six? Check! Ass-kicker? Oh hell to the ya!

You can catch the movie, opening in theaters, on October 31.

Angelina Jolie's Problems Are Solved

Angelina Is O-U-T Out!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 11:12:00 GMT

What? I thought Angelina Jolie was perfect....

....for the role of Lara Croft?? Apparently, actress Alison Carroll is taking over Angie's old role and is all set to travel the world to promote the new Tomb Raider: Underworld game. Alison claims she is the best Lara Croft yet. Oh hell to the NO!

The 23-year-old British gymnast told the Daily Star, "All the other Laras have been great. But this is the first time they have got someone who not only looks good but can do all the action moves as well." Ya, cause Angie is hideous and moves like a slug.

Carroll is hoping she will replace Angelina Jolie, saying, "I'm taking Lara to a new level. You could say my mission is to become the real-life Lara Croft. I would like to think I am the best one yet. Angelina might disagree though! Ideally, I would love to do a film. That would be absolutely amazing. Angelina is great but if she can't do it I'm more than ready to step into those boots for her."

She continues, "I'm not scared of becoming a sex symbol or the thought of getting lots of male attention. But Lara doesn't really have any time for men and it seems I'm also going to be too busy from now on. It doesn't really matter as most men can't keep up with me anyway!"

Uh, someone is a little bit stuck on themselves I think. And Angelina might be a mom of six, who just popped out twins a month ago, but I think she could, maybe, kick someone's ass. Don't mess with Angie.

So who's your pick? Angelina Jolie or Alison Carroll? You can see more photos of Alison HERE.

Brangelina's Family Bed Is Huge!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Brad Pitt had previously said that he had a custom 9-foot wide bed made so it would accomodate all of his kids. He said, "It's just big enough. One more and we'll have to go to 11 feet." Well, they have two more on the way, so maybe a 13-footer?

The Jolie-Pitt clan also have a huge custom bed in their current rented home in Cedar Creek, Texas, which could actually be bigger than their last one. It had been custom built for professional wrestling star the Undertaker (who owns the home). The bedroom is massive - has to be to be able to fit that gigantic bed. The master bedroom is apparently 28 feet by 48 feet! That's bigger than some people's apartments.

Speaking of wrestling, the house also comes with it's very own wrestling ring! Contractor Ron Charles told Life & Style: "The best part of the house is a separate gym area with a real [World Wrestling Entertainment] ring in it. I'm sure Brad and the kids horse around in it."

Sounds like the Brangelina clan have lots of room to grow there and lots of room to play!

Britney, ever the classy woman, has a wonderful reaction to the motorcyclist who sideswiped her Mercedes on Tuesday evening. Britser is back with her boyfriend/pap Adnan and of course they were out mindlessly driving around when they were "hit."

FUN VIDEO FOLLOWING THE JUMP (Contains bad language and a crazy Britney)

It's fantastic to see Spears back to her usual self - unbalanced and slightly insane. Oh, and apparently she's back to being from Louisiana as there's no indication of her shitty fake British accent.

Enjoy!

It Must Be "Love": Britney and Adnan Are Back Together

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 15:05:00 GMT

I guess it's true what they say, "The heart knows what it knows." Either that or Adnan came crawling back because he ran out of quarters for the PacMan machine. Adnan, whose wife just filed for separation, and British girlfriend Britney Spears were spotted Tuesday night in Malibu leaving eatery Taverna Tony's hand-in-hand. They hopped into Britney's white Mercedes and made out as they sped off down Pacific Coast Highway. Wait - is this a real story or an excerpt from a Harlequin Romance?

The lovely couple then continued their date at a Pinkberry, and then reportedly spent Tuesday night holed up in a suite at the Regency Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Milla Jovovich is the Best Sport Ever

BadKitty — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:02:00 GMT

With the release of her new movie, Resident Evil: Extinction, Milla Jovovich is in the news and happily chatting with reporters, even though she is nine months pregnant. Everyone would understand if she wanted to hang out at home with her feet up, the remote control in one hand and Haagen Dazs in the other. But Milla's trooper, and charming to boot.

In an interview with Cindy Pearlman of the Chicago Sun Times, Milla dishes about pregnancy weight (she's gone from 130 to 193 lbs!), doing stunts in the movie, and how working out before getting pregnant has helped her manage. You can practically hear that smile she always has in pictures while reading the interview. I'm not a big video game person, but I might go see this movie just because I've gotten to like Milla so much while covering her pregnancy.
