• Ali Landry: Goodnight Doritos Girl, Spotlight on Mom

  If you've ever been embarrassed by your taste for celebrity parent news (admit it, Babble's Famecrawler the first place you visit), you're going to get a kick out of Ali Landry.  Once a member of the People's Fifty Most Beautiful People List and the famous "Doritos girl" from the late nineties, Landry now has a weekly Webcast that's allowing every day parents (us) instant access to celebrity parents. And Landry, ahem, is just as interested as the rest of us.  Landry sat down with Babble to talk about her new show, Spotlight to Nightlight, and parenting daughter Estela (twenty months).

• Another Day, Another Dollar, Another Octomom Exclusive Interview

  Recently asked if she was planning to do a reality show, Octomom said, “Absolutely not!  I have no interest in being famous. I’d love to vanish from the public eye as soon as I can.” Whom was she talking to about “vanishing from the public eye?” Life and Style magazine, which has Nadya Suleman on the cover of their current issue. Here’s a hint on how to avoid that pesky fame, Nadya: don’t give two-hour interviews to entertainment magazines. Read More...

• Hey Obama, Give This Kid an Interview!

  Damon Weaver's stuck his mic in the faces of the likes of Vice President-Elect Joe Biden, future Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and possible New York Senate-seat-holder Caroline Kennedy. So what makes him any different from your standard political pundit? He's just ten years old.  And now the Florida fifth grader is gunning for the biggest interview of his TV news career: he wants to land President-Elect Barack Obama. Read More...

• Malia Obama Likes Her Parents' PDA

  It’s an unspoken rule of teendom that parents kissing, holding hands, or making ga ga eyes is to be met with an emphatic, “Ew.” How many preteens do you know would openly admit that their parents’ public displays of affection make them feel good? Personally, I didn’t know any until just now. The Huffinton Post dug up a clip from this summer’s Access Hollywood interview with the Obama family in which 10-year-old Malia Obama professes to like her parents’ famed PDA. Read More...

• Roald Dahl's Widow Recalls His Childlike Sensibility

  Felicity Dahl, the widow of the beloved children’s book author Roald Dahl, rarely gives interviews. 18 years after Dahl’s death, she finds it difficult to speak about her husband without crying. But in an interview with the Sunday Guardian, she spoke candidly about her husband's writing and personal life in order to publicize the inaugural Roald Dahl Funny Prize, which will be awarded to a humorous children’s book author on Thursday.

• 7-Year-Old Steals Grandma's Car, Becomes Hero

  You may remember Latarian Milton, the seven-year-old who stole the keys to his grandma’s SUV and took it for a joyride with his friend because “it’s fun to do bad things, like drive into a car?” (He did, in fact, drive into several cars on his joyride.) Well, just in case Latarian’s grandmother didn’t teach Latarian right and wrong with her violent threats—“If I thought they wouldn’t take me to jail, I’d whip his behind,” she said—Latarian has now become a sort of star for his bad ass ways.

• Interview: Larry Martinek of Mathnasium - Part 1

  Do your kids hate math? Well, they don't. They may think they do, but what they really hate is "being confused and intimated by math." That's what Larry Martinek, the creator of the Mathnasium Method, believes, and after talking to him, I'm inclined to believe it as well. Read More...

• Johnny Depp "Interview" Involves Small Japanese Girls Dressed as Pirates

  I love me some Johnny Depp. In fact, he can hang out with me and be all eccentric all he wants. But I think there's a good reason why he's somewhat reclusive, which is also Reason #114 Why I Am Not A Celebrity: Weird interview situations. Watch as Johnny Depp is waylaid on Japanese television for an apparent (he thinks) interview, when instead he is regaled by four small, energetic and very loud girls dressed as pirates. Observe his reaction as he tries valiantly and politely to show interest as the bizarre show keeps going on, and on, and on. I love, though, how he really connects with each girl, giving them his full attention, shaking their hands and eventually hugging them. I hate to draw conclusions about public figures based on short clips of them interacting with people, but based on watching him with these girls, I'd say there's a very good chance he's an excellent daddy himself. Have the stomach for more? Here's Part Two.     Posted Jun 12 2007, 11:30 AM by Karen Murphy with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Japan, pirates, johnny depp, interview, bizarre
