Lars Ulrich's Kids Now Think He's Awesome

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich is enjoying a newfound level of respect from his kids now that he's been immortalized as a character in one of the most iconic games of a generation: Guitar Hero.

Sure, Liev Schreiber may have a 7-Eleven Slurpee cup action figure -- and that might get you pretty far with a 2-year-old -- but doesn't even begin to compare with the coolness factor of being a star of one of your child's favorite video games. Lars' appearance in Guitar Hero: Metallica has apparently had a profound effect on the respect he gets from his little ones: Layne, 8, and Myles, 10 and a half.

“In the age of spending a lot of time forcing them to finish their vegetables and do their home work and get to school on time, [that] dad actually has his own video game certainly helps. And will continue to help into adolescence!”

Ulrich's youngest, 23-month-old Bryce Thadeus is a little too young to get in on the digitized guitar shredding that goes on in the Ulrich playroom. Luckily, he's also a little too young to start rolling his eyes when dad's being totally lame.

Liev Schreiber Has Passed The Action Figure Test

You probably never forget the day that you become immortalized in the form of a plastic figurine. It's a proud moment for any dad when he's able to hand his son or daughter an action figure and say 'see that, that's daddy.'

But what if your kids don't like it? What if they strap firecrackers to it and blow it up in the sand box?

Luckily, Liev Schreiber doesn't know what that feels like, because his son Sasha apparently likes his Sabretooth action figure.

"He [Sasha] has a bag of toys which is called his turtle bag that he puts his favorite toys in. And I gave him the daddy action figure, I call it, and I waited to see if he would put it in the turtle bag. A tense, a tense 15 minutes it took him ... everyday I come home to make sure it's still in the turtle bag."

That's great. Could you imagine the damage that your ego as a father would sustain if your child didn't like your action figure? Damn, that would be like fatherhood hell on earth.

Of course, now that Schreiber has passed the test and he's all full of himself for becoming an action figure, he does have some ~~complaints~~ criticisms for the designer of the "daddy action figure."

"I'm assuming they read the logline for the movie, that I play this prehistoric terrifying game cat. What possessed them to make me look like an angry squirrel?"

Halle Berry: Bah Humbug!

Halle Berry is looking a little glum while doing some last minute Christmas shopping the other day. I wonder if she is starting to crave having her body back. She sure is a stylin' Mama though! Would you have attempted those boots while pregnant?

Maxim's List of Nine Hottest Pregnant Women

Remember Maxim's last list? Well the Neanderthals over there have taken a break from smashing beer cans into their foreheads by compiling yet another one, The 9 Hottest Pregnant Women, Ever. Hey - they left off Britney.

Unfortunately I have to admit I actually agree with their picks this time, since Halle Berry takes the first spot, she of the incandescent glow and wonder boobs. Christina Aguilera and Heidi Klum round out the top three. I'm thinking this is satisfying both Maxim's MILF and breastfeeding fantasies in one shot. I'm just waiting for their 6 Women We'd Most Like To Be Diapered By list to come out.

Naomi Watts, You Don't Fool Me For a Minute

Here's my theory: Naomi Watts had that baby months ago. In fact, she/he's been weaned, potty trained and is currently enrolled in an overpriced pre-school somewhere in Los Angeles. Naomi's wearing a fake belly, which comes in handy when stealing meat from Trader Joes. Not that I would know.

Watts and Liev Schreiber continue their little charade because it's a good way to get people to let you cut in line and all the front parking spots at the mall.

Not to mention numerous FameCrawler posts.
