Most Wanted Puts Deadbeat Dads . . . and One Mom Online

JeanneSager — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:02:00 GMT

If you're planning a divorce, you might want to move to the South. First it was Tennessee yanking fishing and hunting licenses from deadbeat parents. Now Virginia is placing parents who evade their child support responsibilities atop its Most Wanted criminals list.

They don't play in Dixie.

Pictures of eight deadbeat dads and one deadbeat mother are now posted online at the Virginia Department of Social Services website, along with their dates of birth, number of children, height, weight, occupation and last known address. It's like the list in the back of the newspaper for people who don't pay their property taxes . . . with pictures to double the laughs.

The crappiest dad of the year award goes to Joseph Hollenbach, a quality assurance inspector from Pennsylvania who owes more than $177,000 to his baby mama. The, "Look They Photoshopped My Giant Head Onto a Puny Body and All I Got Was a Spot on the Most Wanted List" award goes to Jad Salah Amra, who we can add to the list of shyster car salesmen with his refusal to pay more than $97,000 to support his three kids.

Want to see the whole list? Be sure to check out Bobby Joe Cannon Jr.'s grinning high school yearbook photo. Hey Class of 1990, look at him now!

Two baby movies are number one

Brett Singer — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Two baby-themed flicks were number one this week in two different categories: Baby Mama in theaters, and Juno on DVD.

Here are the trailers from both films. I think Baby Mama looks funnier. (Haven't seen either one, however.)

So is this a trend? Are we headed for another baby boom, or just a baby-movie boom? Hollywood loves to follow the crowd, right?

More likely this is a result of the fact that Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler are funny and that Juno won an Oscar. Then again, who knows? Is there baby movie magic in the air?

NBC Pulls '30 Rock' from Family Hour to protect our American way of life

Brett Singer — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:00:00 GMT

In a move that defies all logic, NBC has moved Tina Fey's sitcom '30 Rock' from the 8pm-9pm "family hour" to Thursdays at 9:30pm (which I suppose is the "Manson Family Hour"). Why, you ask?

MILFs.

That's right, MILFs. More specifically, a reality show parody that was part of the episode aired on April 10. If you want to see what the fuss is about, you can watch the full episode - legally - at the end of this post. I just did, and it's reasonably amusing. It also did not, to the best of my knowledge, cause the downfall of Western civilization, or even a mild tumult in some kid's ant farm.

Despite the pullage, NBC is hardly backing away from all things MILFy, or at least all things MILF Islandy. For example, for a mere $24, you can buy a MILF Island t-shirt. It's also not the first time '30 Rock' has mentioned the faux reality series (that would be October of 2007), although it does seem to be the first time that large numbers of people noticed.

This site actually spins the story to imply that the 9:30pm time slot is "more prestigious" than 8:30pm. That sounds very Jack Donaghy to me.

In a Babble interview to promote the upcoming film 'Baby Mama', '30 Rock' creator Tina Fey said, "Often times in our writer's room I'll say, 'Oh, this is going to be on at 8:41 p.m. - lets back off of it a little bit.'" Amy Poehler, Fey's co-star in 'Baby Mama' who isn't involved with '30 Rock', said, "I love ruining family time." Sadly, she'll have to wait until the fall to do so; that's when NBC says '30 Rock' will go back to 8:30pm. Unless someone complains, in which case they'll take it off the air. (I'm kidding. But you never know.)

Here, watch it for yourself. Is this really so awful?

Babble Talk: Fey, Poehler on Having My Baby

Mike Adamick (Cry It Out!) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:01:00 GMT

Although they discussed everything from the upcoming Baby Mama movie, their own preschool interviews, off-beat baby names and the joys of water birthing and pregnancy sex, Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler and 30 Rock's Tina Fey apparently forgot to mention during a recent Babble interview they both already agreed -- and put it in writing! -- that they'd have my baby, together. Huh. (Sure, it was late when we had this talk outside their joint apartment and the cops later arrived and one of us -- I won't say who -- was arrested, but whatever, we had a deal!)

Oh well, maybe they're just waiting to tell the world at the movie premiere. And I suppose the interview is OK as is ...

This movie does a great job of capturing the absurdity of urban parenting culture. Tina, have you had any moments where you've thought, This could only be happening to me here and now as a city parent?

Tina: It is a different thing to be a city parent. There is a lot of pressure: "What classes are your children taking?" My daughter starts pre-school next year, so I just went through the process of taking her to her pre-school interviews. And you're just hoping, "Please don't poop yourself during this time."

Amy: Did she wear a little power suit and carry a teeny-tiny briefcase?

Tina: She had a little teeny-tiny resume. Made of candy.

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and a Baby.

We’re looking forward to the release of Baby Mama almost as much as the ending of the writer’s strike. Although not everyone’s a fan; a few of my neighbors over yonder in Park Slope, Brooklyn were a wee bit ticked off during the filming last summer. Parents were up in arms about everything from the depiction of career women in film to the lack of parking that inevitably comes when a film crew rolls up in front of your food co-op. We trust Tina Fey to bring us the goods as only this recent Golden Globe Winner can. Check out the trailer after the jump and judge for yourself, Baby Mama opens April 25^th. - April Peveteaux
