The Kids of YouTube

Whit Honea — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:03:00 GMT

Oh, the children of YouTube. You know who they are: Trips to the dentist (below), a quick bite from a sibling, getting Alice in Wonderland to act like a frog- the list is endless.

How and why do the parents deal with the fame?

Read Mina Hochberg's piece for some insight. Then go watch all of my kids' videos. We need a college fund.

Super Bowl Dad - MVP Santonio Holmes (and the Subsequent Disney World Video)

Whit Honea — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:26:00 GMT

Santonio Holmes made a catch for the ages on his way to earning Super Bowl XLIII MVP honors and securing victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It appears that the football in his hands was quickly dropped for a more precious bundle. That's how a MVP rolls.

And this is where he rolls to:

Congratulations, Santonio!

Signourney Weaver Shows The Ladies Of The View Where Babies Come From

HerBadMother — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:27:00 GMT

Shunning panties under skirts is so last millenium. I mean, really: has anyone pulled it off successfully since Sharon Stone? And no, Britney doesn't count.

But I guess that Sigourney Weaver didn't get the memo.

Apparently, during her recent appearance on the View, she gave the audience something of a Basic Instinct flash. I say apparently, because although I've watched the video a few times, and checked out the slow-mo version, I can't really see what the fuss is about. I mean, when Britney did it, it was a full-on, staring into the sun, hoo-ha-palooza. That, and she was a young new mom, with, like, babies, and she was out all half-naked in short skirts and flashing her bitsand it all seemed a little unseemely.

Sigourney, on the other hand, is a bona fide grown-up was wearing a totally age-appropriate outfit under which she may or may or may not have been wearing underwear but who could tell, because it's not like she was getting out of a taxi in a miniskirt, so what's the big deal?

In any case, A Baby Story probably came on right after The View with hoo-has a-plenty. I mean, it's not like that shiz isn't on TV already.

Decide for yourself:

Rockin' The Fashion: JLo's Skinny Jeans & Heels

Sassy Smith — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:05:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez had some retail therapy on Tuesday, hitting up Roche-Bobois furniture store in West Hollywood. JLo was rockin' her skinny jeans and majorly high heels - when I say high heels, I mean high.

More pics after the jump!

Jennifer had fun ordering high-end items, including stuff for her twins, Max and Emme. I bet those babies aren't spoiled!

JLo: I Had A Nervous Breakdown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:04:00 GMT

When we think of celebrities, we often think that their lives are perfect (or close to it), but that's certainly not always the case. Jennifer Lopez opens up for the first time, about suffering a nervous breakdown seven years ago. "I was like - I don't want to move. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything. I had a nervous breakdown."

Jennifer spoke with The Daily Beast:

The 39-year-old actress and singer was filming the movie Enough, and it was just before she married her second husband, Cris Judd, when she "froze," and didn't want to do anything.

"There were no signs leading up to it. You really don't know what's happening at first. I was going, what's going on? It's funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn't want people to think I was falling apart

"I don't get nervous. I don't get depressed. Blah, blah, blah…There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie Enough [in 2002]. Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown."

Lopez blames stress and overwork for her mental exhaustion. She refused medication and chose to rest until she felt better. She'd never been to a shrink, said she's, "not a shrinky person."

However, the new mom of twins didn't experience PPD after their birth, although people had "prepped" her for it.

"People kept prepping me for it, but it didn't happen. At the tenth day after giving birth all that chemical stuff did peak - that hormone thing - and I did cry a lot that day because I was having so much trouble moving (after her caesarean section)."

JLo also talks about Scientology - her father David has been involved in the religion for over 20 years. She previously denied being a member of the religion but said she was "bothered by people's negative attitude towards it.

"I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is." She said she wouldn't be opposed to her children attending a Scientology school.

What about her "diva" image?

Lopez says, "Once you have a lot of success you become a target in many ways. I just think the whole diva thing is a misreprestation of who I am. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things. And still even with that they find stuff to pick on."

Ben Folds New Video

Whit Honea — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:21:00 GMT

Ben Folds is cool. It's a fact. His new album "Way to Normal" hit stores (and iTunes) today and at first listen it is pretty good. I need to hear it a few more times to see where it ranks in the order of all things Foldsness.

One of the videos included in the iTunes download is for the song Cologne which in itself is a pretty decent song and a good video, but the part that caught my eye is the inclusion of Folds' kids in the action.

That must be fun for them to be a part of their dad's work. I know they've inspired quite a bit of it.

Enjoy the video and get the album!

JLo's Weird Fashion Choice (She's Wearing Knickers?)

Sassy Smith — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:07:00 GMT

What is Jennifer Lopez wearing? Are those body-shaping underpants/knicker things? If so, aren't they meant to be worn under your clothes, not as actual clothes? JLo is usually dressed to the nines but her gold shirt with the shaping half-pants and the hooker boots just aren't doing it for me.

Another pic after the jump!

The pop singer was performing in Athens with an audience of 11,000 fans. I'm sure they were there to hear her sing not to see what she was wearing. But still....odd choice of an outfit. Maybe as a new mom of twins, she doesn't have as much time to choose just the right outfit? Ya, that's it!

Gasp! JLo Does Have A Nanny!

Gasp! JLo Does Have A Nanny!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:10:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez decided a few months ago that she wanted to be a full-time mom and not have a nanny anymore, which hey, that's how most mother's do it - sans nannies. I'm not dissin' anyone with help, but JLo gave off a vibe that she wanted the world to be impressed that she could parent her own children. We assumed she could, albeit a bit diva-ish. However, she's apparently gone back to having a nanny but who can blame her? She's got twins - two babies is a lot of work! Perhaps Jennifer is just like us after all....well sort of....

Jennifer dished to PEOPLE...

Jenny from the block says of having help:

"I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago, [Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done."

Jen's favorite moments in the morning and evening:

“When they see you and have that big smile on their face – I live for that. And when I put them to bed at night and they melt in your arms. I give them a bottle and wind it down. I say, ‘It’s time for beddy-bye.’ I hold them and sing a little song. By the time you know it, they are asleep.”

On being a working mommy:

“It’s gonna be a learning experience. How will I do both? I try to take breaks from work. I’ll do a little work with the choreographers and then come back. I try to spend every free moment with the babies."

On her recent triathlon experience:

“The triathlon really helped get me in better shape, and snapped me back into my body. I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10 lbs., or so. [But] I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it.”

About accepting her body:

“We like to eat! I think you have to love yourself and indulge when you want to, as well as be happy and just have a healthy attitude towards it. Marc loves the way I look!”

I like a chick who likes to eat.

Obama Says No Thanks to Lindsay Lohan

Karl Erikson — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:31:00 GMT

Lindsay Lohan offered to help Barack Obama by hosting events for younger voters. And Barack, being of infinite wisdom, told her he wanted none of her whorebaggery ways. Well, he put it more diplomatically than that, of course. He said, "she is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us."

Right, like I said...whorebag. Maybe the Republicans will take her. They'll take anybody.

Josh Howard Hates America? The National Anthem Video

Whit Honea — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:36:00 GMT

Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks (not to be confused with the popular Washington Mavericks) is currently lighting up YouTube with some some un-patriotic rhetoric.

Apparently Howard is not a fan of the National Anthem and says so.

According to VH-1's Best Week Ever, the talking heads on SportsCenter called Howard's video full of "shameful comments about the National Anthem and Obama."

BWE also quotes ESPN analysts as saying "the comments were so outrageous, they could ultimately end up hurting Obama come election time."

It's a big deal right?

Josh Howard, who has a 1-year-old son, may have looked like a total ass, but he's not even the biggest one involved in this story.

Read the comments on YouTube. They are full of hate and racism and scrawl so ignorant that they make Howard's comments seem intelligent by comparison.

Relatively speaking of course.

On the bright side, it's nice to see some of our commenters branching out and dropping their special brand of insight someplace besides my inbox- something that I'm sure will be remedied shortly.

Here's the video. It's longer than the attention it deserves.

JLo Almost Drowns During Triathlon!! (Photos)

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:08:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez completed the Malibu Triathlon with a finishing time of 3.5 hours, which is awesome right? However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, uh, well not sailing, but swimming - JLo almost didn't make it through the swim portion of the race!

More photos after the jump!

According to a source:

"Jennifer Lopez almost drowned while swimming through the Nautica Triathlon . . .The waves were to high for her as she started to submerge and was left missing for a couple of seconds until her trainer helped her out. When she reached enough depth where she could stand on her feet she gave a big smile showing relief."

Ha, I'd be panicked too - well, that is if I were to do a triathlon, which, of course will be, when pigs fly.

Months of training following the birth of her twins - Max and Emme - enabled Jennifer Lopez to partake in the Malibu Triathlon on Sunday September 14, with much success! The celebrity mom swam, biked and ran and did it all in 3.5 hours!

More photos after the jump!

After crossing the finish line, Lopez said to onlookers, "Thank you guys so much. This is an amazing day."

On JLo's recent Good Morning America appearance, the singer said, "I was beached like a whale. I was watching TV, and I saw a triathlon and I said, 'You know what? I think I could do that, that would be great for me to do. Maybe I'll do it this year.'"

And I guess she did! Congrats!

The latest in potential controversy comes with the following video snippet, in which some people seem to think Obama is calling Alaska governor Sarah Palin - mother of 5 - a pig. What do you think?

JLo Does Elle - Talks Fashion & Motherhood

Jennifer Lopez is definitely a multi-tasker. Even while pregnant with twins, she worked, toured, acted, and designed. And she hasn't slowed down now that the babies, Max and Emme, are here. JLo is on the cover of Elle's September issue, and dishes on fashion, love,and family.

More photos after the jump!

J.Lo on Dolce and Gabbana:

“My babies! I love them, I love them, I love them.”

J.Lo on Donatella Versace:

“We’ve always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died.”

J.Lo on Georgina Chapman:

“She could be a model—but meanwhile she’s down there pinning and sewing all these things all over you!”

J.Lo on shooting in Washington Heights with Oscar de la Renta:

“We were in the hoody! All kinds of locals hanging around, eating out of paper bags, thinking, what’s going on here? It was crazy.”

J.Lo on being pregnant and commissioning a book of photos of herself for Marc two weeks before giving birth:

“I was like, How am I going to rock this moment of my life?… I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it.”

J.Lo on not being able to get pregnant right away:

“We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us—I had been checked, and he had kids already. I knew Something’s not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it’s going to happen.”

J.Lo on first realizing she was pregnant:

“I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little…flourish. My makeup artist said ‘What’s the matter?’ I didn’t say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!”

J.Lo on her pregnancy:

“We came off tour and I said ‘I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour—now I need you to take care of me. I love doing things for you; if I’m not cooking, then I’m picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I’m just going to be a little bit selfish. I don’t know if I’m going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don’t want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.’”

JLo and husband Marc welcomed twins a few months ago - Max and Emme - and we've been lucky enough to see photos of the babies. Now, even more exciting, is an 'exclusive home video' of the couple and the twins. So heartwarming to see them in their home, interacting with the little ones. JLo seems like such a hands-on mom.....

In case you were wondering (I'm sure you knew), it's a spoof - but a pretty funny one I think (and the chick playing JLo - did a perfect job!) Thank you to my BFF for showing this to me last week.

David Hasselhoff is One Funny Guy

"I'm doing an album of Broadway musicals and I'm going to premiere in a little castle I'm looking for in Scotland," he told Ferguson.

"As a matter of fact, I'm looking for the Hassel Castle. You're from Scotland aren't you? Can you help me find one? I know I can go there and buy one."

Is Chris Martin A Thief?

HerBadMother — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:30:00 GMT

It seems highly implausible that Chris Martin and his Coldplay cronies could be responsible for lifting so much as a contraband wheatgrass smoothie, but that hasn't stopped certain people from making accusations.

Brooklyn-based band Creaky Boards accused Martin and Coldplay of grand theft musical, claiming that Coldplay's single 'Viva La Vida' is a rip-off of their song, 'The Songs I Didn't Write' (irony much?)

E! Online reports:

Creaky Boards singer Andrew Hoepfner posted a YouTube video that combines both "Viva la Vida" and "The Songs I Didn't Write" with text in which he claims he and his band thought they saw Martin in the audience when the Creaky Boards played the CMJ festival in October 2007.

"We were flattered when we thought we spotted Chris Martin in the crowd that night. He seemed pretty into it!...Maybe TOO into it," writes Hoepfner.

A rep for Coldplay denied the accusations, telling the Guardian that Coldplay cut a demo for "Viva la Vida" in March 2007 and that Martin couldn't possibly have been at the CMJ show because he was in London recording.

Ah, alibis. So inconvenient. In an email to E! News, Hoepfner elaborated:

"Soon after the video blew up, I received a call from Coldplay's manager. They were really nice about the whole thing and explained about their whereabouts and old demos. I guess the song similarities are just a coincidence...great minds think alike?

"Anyway, I must have been mistaken about seeing Chris at the show because all British people look the same. I lived in London for six weeks and I seriously thought every third person on the corner was Coldplay."

Wow, he backed off fast, didn't he? What do you wanna bet that that 'really nice about the whole thing' phone call was really a 'back off or you'll never play a gig in this town again' phone call?

Judge for yourself:

Jack Black is “pretty proud” regarding a playlist he created on his iPod. Black made it to better bond with his oldest son Samuel. Says the musical daddy, “He’s got great rhythm and loves to dance. I think I cracked the code."

Some samples from the mix include:

Dee-Lite’s “Groove Is in the Heart”

Abba’s “Dancing Queen”

Weezer’s “Surfwax America”

Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” - not to be confused with the cover by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, although it's also a good version

Steve Carell - "Dwayne Johnson Smells Like Strawberry Shortcake"

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:38:00 GMT

Actor, comedian and dad Steve Carell plays Maxwell Smart in his new comedy Get Smart and he's pretty hot for his co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. At least that's the way I took it. Steve and Dwayne share an intimate moment in the movie - as Steve puts it, they had a 'scent-sational time kissing. There was mention of soft lips and strawberry shortcake. Sounds like my kind of romance.

Video after the jump!

It's awesome when actors can come together to make a great scene. I wonder what their kids will think of it? Or maybe it's not a kids' movie?

Carell, 44, said, The Rock has softer lips. I guess I could say that. He smells like strawberry shortcake. For me, that's why they call him The Rock. He rocks people's worlds."

Johnson,36, was having none of that, saying, "strawberry shortcake with liver I think." Although, he had no problem laying a smooch on Steve.

"It was just one of those things where I thought well, you know, `What could be the most entertaining and funniest moment that we could think of that would still make sense and still kind of root in reality?'

"We came up with a great kiss." Johnson plays Agent 23. "I thought if Jake Gyllenhaal can do it, Will Smith can do it, then I can do it, too. I'm going to own it. I was like, 'Give me those lips right now. Right now.'"

Steve added, "He is such a good guy. We just laughed that whole day. That was a total no-brainer in terms of that scene. There was never one moment of hesitation or awkwardness. He's game for anything, let me put it that way."

Their baby is due June 20. By baby, I mean their movie. Ha.

Enjoy this hilarious clip!
