FameCrawler : 2009

Nicole, Joel, And Harlow Rock Kidstock

Josh loposer — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:01:00 GMT

Pretty much everything is cuter in miniature: ponies, White Castle burgers, even ~~midgets~~ little people -- so why wouldn't the same apply to outdoor concerts? Apparently, celebrity parents with a touch of hippie in their bloodlines have already figured this out.

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie made brought Harlow out to this year's 3rd annual Kidstock Music and Art Festival at the Greystone Mansion to revel in the music and art of a tiny generation. In order to blend in with the trippy psychedelic surroundings, they opted to dress Harlow up in flowery hippie-chic style.

Who enjoys Kidstock the most: kids or parents? Maybe it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to hold an outdoor music and art festival for toddlers -- since they would probably have more fun in almost any sandbox -- but it is super cute to think about announcements coming over the PA about bad brown gummy worms.

Plus, it provides us with awesome shots of stars hanging out with their little ones.

Clay Aiken Is Jealous Of Adam Lambert?

trix — Sat, 23 May 2009 17:02:00 GMT

Is American Idol alum Clay "Daddy" Aiken jealous of Adam Lambert?

Clay Aiken said that he thought Adam Lambert's version of Ring of Fire was contrived, awful and slightly frightening.

Oh Clay, don't be jealous, it's okay, we still love you.You don't want to raise your son with those types of feelings. Neither jealousy nor the anger fueled words are attractive qualities that you want to cultivate in your baby.

What did you think about the finale? Did the right guy win?

The Grammy Winners!

Whit Honea — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Whenever the entertainment industry has one of their big award shows we like to break from our strict set of rules and protocol and recognize the winners.

Kate Winslet at the Golden Globes

Whit Honea — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:32:00 GMT

Kate Winslet and her fabulous real boobs were at the Golden Globes and they all looked fantastic.

Kate has really become quite the hot mom lately, hasn't she? It just goes to show that there is a MILF in all of us. Well, not me, but in some people.

Debra Messing's Golden Globe Arrival

Whit Honea — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:26:00 GMT

Debra Messing seemed happy to be at the Golden Globes last weekend.

I totally recognize that look. That's the "I'm kidless for a night!" look. It's a good one.

Of course it could be the "I'm rich and beautiful!" look. I get them confused.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Golden Globe Arrival

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:24:00 GMT

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Golden Globe dress is very, um, on her. I haven't made my mind up on this gown yet (I know, you care). However, if you tell me her kid made it I will say that it is adorable.

Isla Fisher

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum's Golden Globe Arrival

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 21:31:00 GMT

Supermodel/supermom Heidi Klum either has a rose in her pocket or she's very happy to see me. Seriously, couldn't Seal find a smaller corsage?

Regardless, Klum looked lovely as usual as she arrived at the Golden Globes. It's her curse.

Isla Fisher's Golden Globe Arrival

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:03:00 GMT

Isla Fisher was as good as her husband's jokes were bad (although, for the record, I thought he was pretty funny) at the Golden Globes.

I'm guessing Olive was with a sitter. Now there's a gig, babysitting for celebrities on award night. Cha-ching.

Smile, Olive!

Dara Torres is a Model Mother

Whit Honea — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:53:00 GMT

Dara Torres and her daughter Tessa modeled on the runway for Charles Nolan. Wow. I haven't seen the other models, but I can only assume that they are nowhere near the level of fitness that Torres is. She must look like a tree amongst the flowers- and I mean that in a good way.

You may be wondering why she's wearing the outfit that she is despite it being September. That is because Charles Nolan is already sharing the Spring-Summer 2009 collection. I thought the magazines came way too early- but spring/summer 2009? It's still summer 2008!
