Chris Martin Gets His Wiggle On

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple is a big fan of The Wiggles, so dad did a little schmoozing on her behalf. After Coldplay's show at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, Martin hung out with three of the original members - Jeff Fatt, Murray Cook and Anthony Field. He looks pretty happy here - I wonder who's really the Wiggles devotee in the family.

As further proof of Martin's fandom, Coldplay incorporated The Wiggles' song Fruit Salad into their set that night, and apparently Coldplay's blue, green, red and purple jackets at last month's Grammy Awards drew comparisons to the outfits worn by The Wiggles on their hugely popular TV show.

Let's hope the Martin/Paltrow household doesn't become big Barney fans. I don't think I could bear to see Coldplay do a version of The Clean Up Song.

Disney's Selena Gomez Has Big Shoes to Fill

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:28:00 GMT

Selena Gomez has been all but crowned the next 'it' teen for Disney. This is a long and impressive list, and it is also a very checkered one.

Remember when it was generally accepted that Christina Aguilera was the bad one and that Britney Spears was golden? Time is funny, isn't it? The thing is, the press loves to make a big deal about the troubles of the Disney teen idol (the girls that is, you don't hear anything about Justin Timberlake or Zac Efron- apparently gender is funny, too), but for every Lindsay Lohan spreading stank in her wake there is a Hilary Duff working hard and doing it right. For every Vanessa Anne Hudgens there is an Anne Hathaway.

The most recent young lady to sit the throne, Miley Cyrus, is in a bit of PR spin, but let's be frank, she hasn't done anything wrong. She isn't doing drugs or endangering small children. Sure, there have been pictures released that may cast question on her judgment, but hey, she wasn't nude. She's just a teenager doing teenage stuff, but unlike most kids she's filthy rich and living under a microscope. It's hard to believe the commotion a few artsy photos caused when one channel over an equally young teenage star is about ready to have a baby. Isn't that a bit more scandalous?

So, the question is, will Miss Gomez be pregnant and in rehab before sweeps week or will she be able to stay the path despite the lures and pitfalls it offers?

Her parents swear she'll be okay, and like other well-meaning showbiz parents before them are putting themselves in the position to either protect their daughter or make total asses of themselves. Hey, it happens.

According to People, Selena's mother Mandy Teefey claims that she (along with Selena's dad) will keep her daughter out of trouble. For instance, she has a midnight curfew (or earlier) and never attends events without a parent. She is also held accountable with duties around the house. Says Teefey, "If she cooks, I clean. If I cook, she cleans. She has to help feed the dogs. There are really no set chores. We just all pitch in when needed."

We hear this talk from parents all the time. I hope they manage to avoid the trappings of the limelight and don't go the way of the Lohans. I really don't want to be searching for this post in 8 months as a reference to the calm before the storm.

Good luck, Selena, to you and your family.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers: Too Much Of The Blarney

HerBadMother — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:29:00 GMT

When I first saw the above headline at E!Online, I thought that it read Jonathan Rhys Meyers: Too Much Of The Barney. Which tells you a little something about how deeply I am embedded on the frontlines of the Toddler Zone. I seriously thought, whoa, weird, I didn't know he had kids! And then I thought, any amount of Barney is too much Barney. It wasn't until I clicked through to the story that I realized that the headline read Blarney and that it was referring to Rhys Meyers getting arrested for being all drunk and disorderly at Dublin International Airport in Ireland. Apparently he was exhibiting 'erratic behaviour' and was verbally abusive toward anyone who approached him.

Which, when you think about it, is all behaviour that could be triggered by excessive exposure to Barney. Also, those eyes of his? Those are the eyes of a man who has been watching way too much PBS Kids. You can practically see the dancing purple dinosaurs reflected in his eyes. I'm just sayin'.

Britney May Wind Up on the Street, Just not Sesame

Whit Honea — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:30:00 GMT

Remember when the scariest thing about PBS was the chance your kid might see an episode of Barney? What if Barney were a bit paler and not as well spoken, y'all? Imagine Britney working the street. I know, it's not a stretch, but don't worry, it's not going to happen.

Some idiot started a rumor that Britney Spears was going to be on Sesame Street. Then a bunch of other idiots ran with the idea and it started to spread. Then another idiot read about it and wrote a post on FameCrawler... wait, that last one is me. Okay, we're all here then.

No, Britney Spears is not going to be, nor was ever invited to be, on Sesame Street. She seems more of the alley type anyway.
