Elisabeth Röhm Does the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:28:00 GMT

Elisabeth Röhm of "Law and Order" fame attended the Boom Boom Room in Century City, CA over the weekend.

Röhm has a nine-month-old daughter named Easton.

The Boom Boom Room is "Hollywood’s most famous families - expecting parents, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and their offspring - visit a gifting suite wonderland built by 83 sponsors. This event draws celebrity families together to support Los Angeles area Foster Children and the Jayneoni Moore Children’s Fund."

Joely Fisher and the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:07:00 GMT

If the Boom Boom Room was a golf course then Joely Fisher would have been in my foursome. It seemed like the two of us, our children, Heather Christie, and Kenny Johnson (with his lovely, pregnant wife), were always in the same area. That's a big foursome.

Joely Fisher was great. She posed for pictures with the vendors and made small-talk with my boys. It's like she didn't even care that I was famous, which was really refreshing.

Fisher, Christie and Johnson were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

Tim Allen and the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:27:00 GMT

What's a party without expecting parents Tim Allen and wife Jane Hajduk pretending to try on little girl frillies (RuffleButts)?

The happy couple were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

It was hosted by "Glamour Guru Jayneoni Moore and presented by Born Free and Baskin Robbins."

I took my boys. It was a lot of fun and they got some sweet capes (among other things).

It's always nice to see Hollywood turn out for a cause.

Seal and Heidi Visit the Happiest Place on Earth

Whit Honea — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:25:00 GMT

Heidi Klum and Seal recently took the kids to visit Mickey Mouse and the gang. It looks like everyone had a good time.

I think I'll get a private guide next time. That seems smart.

Sunday Cute Shot: Jenny McCarthy at Disneyland

Whit Honea — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:28:00 GMT

Like Jenny McCarthy before me I just returned from a family outing to Disneyland. I'm guessing her trip was better than ours.

Looks like Evan is enjoying Autopia. That ride is a back bruiser, at least when the kids are driving.

Violet's Other Car is Ben Affleck

Whit Honea — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:49:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are always being called out in teh internetz for carrying Violet around rather than making her walk.

Phooey.

I'm saying this as a parent and not because Jennifer Garner is my secret girlfriend, but carry those kids a long time. They'll be running away soon enough. That's not even factoring in the fact that they'll soon be too big to carry, whether you want to or not. Enjoy the moment.

See you later, Jen.

The Wentzs Do Victoria's Secret Pink

Whit Honea — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:35:00 GMT

Here is a video from Entertainment Tonight showing the arrival of Pete Wentz and a pregnant Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (and the guys from the band) at Santa Monica Pier last night for a Victoria's Secret Pink party. I was actually right there in the VIP section when they arrived, but instead of taking pictures or video I took advantage of the small lines at the open bar. You gotta think on your feet.

You know what was weird about Fall Out Boy, or "The Fall Out Boys" as a drunk woman next to me kept calling them, was that Pete Wentz, who is NOT the lead singer, did all of the talking to the audience. I've been to a lot of concerts and I've never seen that. Is the lead singer shy? It's because of the deer feet, isn't it?

No Doubts for Tom Dumont, It's a Boy!

Whit Honea — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 19:59:00 GMT

Looks like Gwen Stefani isn't the only No Doubt member having a baby this summer. Guitarist Tom Dumont and his wife Mieke welcomed a baby boy, their second, on June 18th.

From No Doubt's fan forums:

Hey ND friends out there,
Just dropping you a little note about some happy news. Mieke and and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy this past Wednesday June 18th. (Well I have to admit that Mieke did all the birthing...)
His name is Rio Atticus Dumont and he and his Mamma are both happy and doing well! We're very very elated and a little tired, but wanted to let you know as soon as we could.
Take care out there!
Tom

Hey, I have a son named Atticus. Nice choice, Dumonts.

Barenaked at the Treehouse: Kristy Swanson

Whit Honea — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:04:00 GMT

Actress Kristy Swanson and her son Magnus were among the guests at The Treehouse Social Club. The Ladies performed songs from their very cool kid's CD "Snacktime." The concert was to benefit Baby2Baby.

I wish I'd known about the show, it sounds more fun than the Laker game.

I Hope Royston Langdon Knows He's Still in Charge of a Mother's Day Gift

Whit Honea — Sat, 10 May 2008 17:23:00 GMT

Royston Langdon showed Milo the new place (yes, I'm talking about the actual stairs) after it was reported that he and Liv Tyler had broken things off. I hope that Royston understands that while he may no longer be responsible for anniversary gifts, he still needs to make sure Milo gets something for his mommy on Mother's Day.

Is Milo eating Spiderman ice cream? My kids love that, although I'm not a fan of the bubblegum eyeballs. What's up with that?

Parenting and Cheetos: A Comparison

Whit Honea — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 01:14:00 GMT

I know, we've used pictures from this moment already, but come on, they're sweet. I was looking at this picture of Angelina Jolie with her daughters Zahara and Shiloh and their light dusting of Cheeto powder and thinking how it is generally accepted as cute, but had that been Britney and her boys we would have written three paragraphs about how her kids have been fed nothing but cheese puffs and Mountain Dew under her care and that K-Fed is therefor the second coming.

I don't claim to be a super parent, and I also don't expect Child Services anytime soon. Sometimes kids just need some Cheetos. Just ask my son:

So what does this say about me?

Davy Grolton Takes a Foo-less Family Day

Whit Honea — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:46:00 GMT

Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl spent some time in Studio City hanging with the family, who I believe are also adamantly against foo. That's the lovely Violet on her daddy's shoulders and mom Jordyn Blum on balloon duty.

Man, I went and saw the show at the Forum the other night. Kick ass. That Davy Grolton pulls out all the stops.

FameCrawler Oscar Picks: Where We Demonstrate That We Really Do Have an Opinion on Everything

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Without a doubt one of the things keeping you up late at night is wondering "Who do the FameCrawler bloggers think will win big at the Academy Awards?" (Of course, that along with, "Who will Jamie Lynn take to Lamaze class?)

This must be your lucky day, because here are our completely unsolicited opinions (Sorry, can't help you out with the Jamie Lynn thing):

Sweatpantsmom:

Best Actress: Laura Linney (I love her. Ellen Page was great in Juno, but has no 'body of work.' That there is Academy-speak for "She ain't been in nuthin' else.")

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee (First time nominated. She's 83, for chrissakes - just give it to her already.)

Best Actor: George Clooney (He's hot. And I still watch ER, hoping for him to make a surprise cameo.)

Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook (See Ruby Dee, above)

Best Picture: Juno (Juno Juno Juno. Has anyone even seen the other movies?)

Whit:

Best Actress: I didn't see any of them, so I'll go with whoever looks the hottest.

Best Supporting Actress: See above.

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis

Best Supporting Actor: That kid from There Will Be Blood. Oh, he wasn't nominated. Um, how about that rat from Ratatouille?

Best Picture: There Will Be Blood

Best Host: Jon Stewart (Lifetime Achievement to Billy Crystal)

Her Bad Mother:

Best Actress: Prediction: Julie Christie; Wish: Ellen Page

Best Supporting Actress: Prediction: Cate Blanchett (but will be happy if she or Tilda Swinton or that little Irish chick wins it)

Best Actor: Prediction: Daniel Day Lewis; Wish: Viggo (Johnny's hot, but Sweeney Todd? Nope. Viggo's hot AND deserving for that penis-baring knife fight)

Best Supporting Actor: Prediction/Wish: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: Toss-up: No Country For Old Men or There Will Be Blood. Can't call this one.

Karen:

Best Actress: Ellen Page because she is a Canucklehead like me.

Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton because if I could have a celebs life it would be hers and Johnny Depp would be my boy toy. (See below.) Although the step-mom in Juno should have been nominated.

Best Actor: Johnny Depp - because he is my back-up husband and deserves it.

Best Supporting Actor: Phillip Seymour Hoffman because I'm a big fan of his work and he rocks and that's all you need to know.

Best Picture: Juno, hands down has to win because I'm a Mom and I said so.

Sassy Smith:

Best Actress: Julie Christie

Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee

Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis (totally want Johnny Depp to win but whatever..lol)

Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem

Best Picture: No Country For Old Men

Jon Stewart's Daily Workout

Whit Honea — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:38:00 GMT

You may recognize Jon Stewart from such shows as MTV's You Wrote It, You Watch It, and the Oscars. Currently he has a much steadier gig, showing up daily on my TiVo. In fact, I'm recording him now so that I can bring you this breaking photo from sometime last week and also prepare myself for a bit of NYC baseball. Sorry Good Wills, your Bo Sox are going down.

I know that Jon would agree with me, even though he's wearing a Met's hat.

That's why he's getting in shape by doing baby curls. He may need to kick somebody's sad butt on the subway later, and wants to be appropriately pumped. Nathan doesn't seem to mind, he's too busy thinking about hot dogs. Mm, hot dogs.

Heidi Klum and Leni in a Sandbox by the Sea

Whit Honea — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 15:06:00 GMT

Heidi Klum, keeps it casual as she plays in a Malibu sandbox with her daughter, Leni. It's nice to see Heidi let her hair down, so to speak, and get her hands dirty. Unfortunately for her, she's becomes something of the poster child for hands off parenting along the celebrity sites on the internet. Maybe she is starting to realize that time is fleeting, or maybe she heard Cats in the Cradle playing on the radio on the way over.

Let's hope the cat wasn't in the sandbox, or she may get even dirtier than she planned. My kid has a name for those treats, sand peanuts. They're not clean.

Noah and Owen Wyle Read My Blog!

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Noah Wyle and his son, Owen (aka The Batman), stopped by my blog and took the header for a spin. That's Applesauce right there. She's a good horse. The beauty of it is that her side job pretty much pays for her keep. Plus, the kids love her.

Make sure you guys clean-up when you're done.

Suri, Daughter of a Preacher Man

Whit Honea — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:05:00 GMT

Katie, the bump, the mom shag, Tom, and Suri, are seen here getting ready to descend to our level. Apparently Tom "Top Gun" Cruise has reached the highest level of crazy, and can, and may, perform wedding ceremonies.

The top level is called 'Clear' or 'The Larry Bird' to some people. Some people being me and Michael Jordan.

I actually performed a wedding ceremony for some friends this past summer, so I have some advice for Tom: Stand on a phone book so the people in the cheap seats can see you. They're paying good money you know.
