Mark Wahlberg Finally Getting Hitched

Karl Erikson — Fri, 15 May 2009 11:31:00 GMT

What the freaking hell is Mark Wahlberg doing with Ella inside his t-shirt? Keeping her warm, I guess, but that's one stretchable t-shirt, that's for sure. Must be made out of ShamWows or something.

Ella is 5 years old now and asking lots of questions, like, "Gee, Daddy, when are you gonna wise up and marry my freaking mom?" So Mark did what his baby girl wanted...he asked the baby mama to marry him. Lickety split, too. I mean, he's only been dating Rhea Durham for EIGHT YEARS.

"Ella is very smart," a friend of the family said. "She wanted to know why Dad and Mom weren't married. It took him a while to get used to the idea of getting married. But now he can't wait for them to become man and wife."

Mark and Rhea will be married in a small ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. And they're only having around 30 guests. Not very smart. How are you going to get any good wedding gifts that way?

Jada Pinkett Smith a Lesbian?

Karl Erikson — Mon, 11 May 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Covering the June issue of Ebony magazine, Jada Pinkett Smith talks about all sorts of things, such as whether or not husband Will Smith is gay. And whether Jada is a lesbian. And other rumors involving Jada's and Will's "open marriage."

And as for she and Will becoming Scientologists? Jada and Will recently donated a ton of money to the New Village Leadership Academy, a school which Jada reveals is NOT a Scientology school. "That is straight evil to think that I would bring families into that educational institution and then try to get them to convert into some religion."

Here are quotes from the interview of Jada, mother of Jaden, 10, and Willow, 8:

GAY? LESBIAN? OPEN MARRIAGE?

"You want people to talk about you, because once they stop talking about you that’s when you’re really in trouble! I’m happy to have people talk about all the craziness they want to talk about, whether it’s things like every year we’re getting divorced or we’re an open family or Will’s gay, or I’m gay."

SCIENTOLOGY SCHOOL?

"All I can say is it is not a Scientology school. Now, If you don’t trust me, and you are questioning my integrity, that’s a whole different matter."

MAKING HER MARRIAGE WORK?

"People always ask me, ‘Will, he’s the biggest movie star in the world and we ain’t never heard of him with anybody. How do you keep him from stepping out on you?’ I’m not that powerful," she confesses. "I wish I could say it’s because I’m a bad chick. What it has to do with is Will’s relationship with God and who he wants to be as a man for God."

REGARDING DIVORCE...

"When Will asked me to get married, I said, ‘Understand this, there will be no divorce. So, you might be in one bedroom and I might be in another, but we’re gonna be under the same roof and we’re gonna be married.’"

BEING WITH THE KIDS

"A lot of time, we just sit at home and watch movies together," she says. "I like to bake with the kids - 7UP cake is our favorite."

Way to deny the gay rumors, Jada. You're one hell of a dodger.

Parminder Nagra's Pregnancy Cravings

Sassy Smith — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:05:00 GMT

ER star Parminder Nagra is pregnant with her first child with husband James Stenson and the mom-to-be is experiencing some cravings. Oh, how I remember those days!

Nagra,33, who is due late May, early June, said she's been eating things she doesn't normally. Earlier in the pregnancy, she'd snack on "frosted flakes and things like filet of fish, which I don't even really eat."

The British-born actress is now craving other foods. "I craved Indian food most of all, which is probably going to drive my baby crazy! All that spiciness, but what can I say?"

Parminder and James were married on January 17. ER finale airs Thursday, April 2.

Rumors have been running rampant ever since Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi got married that they're wanting babies. And now a source tells Star, "They would love a boy. But would truly be happy with any healthy baby."

"Portia is prepared to go through invitro 10 times if she has to. Whatever it takes to get pregnant, she'll do it. She's been changing her eating habits. Her goal is to gain a few pounds before they start the IVF process."

Sandra Bullock: Being Wife and Stepmom Are My Greatest Joys

Karl Erikson — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:36:00 GMT

"I have family in spades," says Sandra Bullock, 44. She sat down with InStyle magazine to talk about her marriage to Jesse James, as well as being a stepmother. Jesse has three kids from previous marriages - Jesse Jr., 11, and daughters Chandler, 14, and Sunny, 5.

Sandra says, "Everything we do is about the kids. I haven't had children biologically. I had shut that off. Then I met Jesse and it turned on again. I was like, 'Oh, that's that feeling.'" For now, though, Sandra doesn't see pregnancy in the immediate future.

"We realized we had to take care of some other things on this planet first. I hope to God when we get to a place where all is safe, calm, happy, and healthy, it's not too late." Um, what? The human race has been going on for a long time and not once have babies been born into a world where it's safe.

Sandra isn't worried about having her own biological children, though. "There are millions of children on this planet that I would be honored to call my own," she says. "Thankfully I married someone who loves me just the way I am - and all the nuttiness that goes into me."

"My greatest joy is making our home what it's supposed to be. Being a good wife, a good stepmom, a good current wife to the ex-wife. We're a family."

A good current wife to the EX-WIFE?! You mean I have to be a good current husband to my future wife's ex-husband? Isn't it hard enough just being a good husband to my wife?

Beautiful Bride: Parminder Nagra's Wedding Album

Sassy Smith — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:02:00 GMT

ER actress Parminder Nagra, who is expecting her first child, tied the knot with photographer James Stenson, her boyfriend of nearly seven years, in both East and West traditions. The couple exchanged rose garlands for their Sikh ceremony.

More pics after the jump!

Parminder said of their decision to marry, "We thought, we should just do it!" James said of his bride walking down the aisle, "To see her was amazing."

The 33-year-old actress never thought their relationship would go anywhere, but things change!

The groom wore a suit by Armani, and Parminder's civil ceremony dress was adorned with Swarovski crystals. The ceremony was officiated by fellow ER star Maura Tierney, and other castmates were in attendance as well - including Scott Grimes, Linda Cardellini and John Stamos.

Their first dance was Elvis Presley's "Why Do Fools Fall In Love," and the couple even did a Bollywood routine. They also rocked out to John Stamos on drums and Scott Grimes singing! James said, "Scott is an amazing singer!"

Congrats, sounds like they had a wonderful day!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Are Going To Be Parents!

Karl Erikson — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 15:36:00 GMT

You heard it right, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are going to be parents. Just not yet. The couple got married secretly last April on Carey's private island estate in the Bahamas, and ever since the rumor mills have been churning away saying Mariah is preggers.

But Nick says his diva wife isn't expecting...yet. He told E! News, "We're definitely into planning a family and stuff but when everything calms down and we get the time. We're just running an dgunning now and enjoying being newlyweds."

And great news! Nick, 29, says that he and Mariah might be doing "some comedy stuff together. You'll see us this year doing some really funny stuff."

Oh. Great. Because when I think comedy gold, Mariah is the first thing that pops into my head. Well, the second thing. Monkeys are always first.

Amy Poehler Raves About Son and New Show

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Former SNL superstar Amy Poehler is thrilled to be a momma, and says she can't get enough of son Archie, now 2 months old. "It's amazing," Amy says. "He's a sweet boy. Archie's the best."

Amy and hubby Will Arnett welcomed Archie in October, and the couple recently showed up at the Golden Globes. She wasn't picky about her fancy Pamella Roland gown. "With a 2-month-old, it's nice that something fits."

Next month, Amy starts working on the new NBC sitcom, created by the producers of "The Office."

"We start shooting in February and it's on in April," Amy says. She describes it as "like Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome. I am a boss; I have an office. It's a whole different world. It's not a spin-off, it's a whole different place. The Office's Rashida Jones plays my friend."

This will be a big switch for Amy, who recently left Saturday Night Live after 7 years on the show.

As for losing her baby weight, she attributes it to never sleeping. Such is the life of a new parent.

Sarah Jessica Parker Getting HUGE Payout for "Sex" Sequel

Karl Erikson — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:33:00 GMT

Carrie Bradshaw and the girls shall return for a "Sex and the City" sequel! "Sex and the City: The Movie" was a big hit at the box office last year, earning $153 million internationally. And it's because of that huge hit status that Sarah Jessica Parker is getting an enormous payday for the sequel.

Sarah Jessica, 43, could earn as much as $30 million if the sequel does as well in theaters. Her deal includes a producer credit, as well as a potion of the ticket proceeds, and that might mean up to $50 million!

Married to Matthew Broderick for 11 years - and reportedly on her way to divorce - SJP says that the "sequel is going to be even hotter with more of a story line. It's going to be a bit longer."

Sarah Jessica and Matthew are parents to James Wilkie Broderick, 6.

Jo Dee Messina: Son Going to Be Confused By Music

Karl Erikson — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:36:00 GMT

With Jo Dee Messina expecting, there will likely be a lot of music surrounding the baby. Unlike a lot of mothers, though, she hasn't yet started exposing the baby to any music. You know, plenty of women think babies can hear music in the womb and they blare Iron Maiden while holding the speakers against their bellies, to introduce the child to culture and all that.

Jo Dee's husband, Chris Deffenbaugh, is "a big jazz guy," she says. "So at some point I'm sure the baby will be totally confused by the musical selections being toted around the house!" With country and jazz being played in the house, the kid is likely going to be a huge rap fan.

Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon were hitting the slopes in Aspen over the weekend, looking as glam as you possibly can in ski gear. Mariah got a ski lesson and everything.

Page Six of the New York Post is saying that sources in St. Barts told the paper, "Carey is definitely pregnant." Mariah has been spotted coming out of an OBGYN's office in Los Angeles, holding "what looked like a sonogram and being greeted by her entourage with cheers."

Looks like we'll have yet another diva baby on planet Earth in 2009. I wonder if the baby will cry in 8 different octaves.

Guess Who Got Fired From His Day Job

trix — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:37:00 GMT

Poor, poor Balthazar Getty, he's had a rough year.

He separated from his wife, had a steamy, very public affair with Sienna Miller. He split from Sienna and got back with his wife, only to be seen with Sienna shortly there after. To top it all off, he ended his year by getting fired from his Brothers and Sisters gig.

I guess that is what happens when you are so filthy rich that you just work for something to do with your time. Maybe he should have given his time to a worthwhile cause, like charity or is that what he classified Sienna as.

Good thing he has all that money to fall back on.

Demi Moore Wants More Children

Karl Erikson — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 16:35:00 GMT

Demi Moore, still hot at 46, says she wants more children. She and Ashton Kutcher, 13, are currently trying. Demi is mom to daughters Rumer, 20, Scout, 17, and Tallulah Belle, 14, with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, 52. But she really wants a baby with husband Ashton.

"We’d be delighted if it happened," she says. "We are doing lots of practicing. And you can’t complain about practicing with him!'

Demi and Bruce divorced 8 years ago and says it wasn't an easy process for Ashton to get accepted into her family. "It took effort and a lot of giving on my part and Bruce’s part. And really, tremendously on Ashton’s part. Coming into my life, Ashton just wasn’t meeting somebody that had baggage. I had trunks!"

Who Does Amy Poehler's Baby Look Like?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:07:00 GMT

Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett welcomed their son Archie on October 25 - so who does the little guy look like? Mom or dad? Amy's SNL co-star Will Forte can give us a hint!

Forte said of the six-week-old infant, he "is a beautiful baby." He says he's not sure who Archie looks more like, but added, "he has his own look.

"He's a really cool little kid, the cutest."

Amy said after her son was born she'd be leaving Saturday Night Live and her Weekend Update desk. Forte compared her departure like a "sister leaving to go to college. She won't be in the house anymore.

"It's like a family over there, so it's really tough to see someone go, especially somebody who meant so much to the show, but she's still in our lives!"

Amy said her final goodbye this past Saturday during Weekend Update. However, Poehler will be a working mom - she's signed on for NBC's upcoming Office spin-off which will debut in 2009.

Mariah Carey Preggers?

Karl Erikson — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Yes, we've heard it time and time again. Mariah Carey, 38, may be pregnant. But it really, really looks like this is the case this time. For one thing, Mimi was seen leaving a gynecology clinic in L.A. recently holding what looked like a sonogram.

Mariah's rep says, "As far as I'm told, it's not true." But wait, there's more evidence.

In a recent interview with England's "Hello!" magazine, diva Mariah rather openly says she's expecting. "People are constantly asking me if I'm pregnant, but I don't like to talk about it too much," Mariah says. "I just think about it as the next phase."

In the past, Mariah has said she never wants kids. However, "I've changed my mind about becoming a mother," she says. "I'm with The One. I think we would make good parents, and that we'd be able to figure out how to do it properly." Mariah married actor Nick Cannon, 28, in April of this year.

What do you think? Is a Mama Mimi in the near future? And will the baby come out crying in multiple octaves?

Balthazar, as we all know, was involved in a highly publicized affair with Sienna Miller over the summer. He may have realized that the grass is always greener over the septic tank because he told her it was over and went back to his wife.

The couple is in counseling and trying to keep it together for the kids. Now, if he can keep it is his pants, they may have a real shot at success.

Danny Bonaduce Paying $16,000 a Month in Support

Karl Erikson — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Danny Bonaduce, 49-year-old ex-child star of "The Partridge Family" and a reality TV star in his own right, has finalized his divorce with ex Gretchen. The father of two - 13 and 7 - has agreed to joint custody, alimony, and child support. The "Breaking Bonaduce" star is officially on the market again, ladies. And let me tell you something, he pays well.

Danny is a radio personality for CBS, making $500,000 a year. His reality show "I Know My Kid's a Star" made him $280,000.

So how much does an ex-wife get? Apparently, you get $10,000 a month in alimony. And then there's the $6,000 a month for child support. Are you freaking KIDDING me? Who the hell needs $16,000 a month to get by? As our own lovely Sassy Smith said to me in email, $16,000 is more than some people make in a YEAR.

What kind of school supplies and clothes are these kids needing that they need $6,000 a month?

Hell, I think I'm gonna sleep with Danny Bonaduce. I can be very bendy. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Jo Dee Messina Expecting First Child

Karl Erikson — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Jo Dee Messina is preggers and she already knows it's a boy! The country cougar, 38, is married to Chris Deffenbaugh, 28, and they just celebrated their 1-year-anniversary. "We knew we wanted to have kids," she says, "but we just said whenever it happens, it happens. And it happened!"

She found out she was pregnant while in the middle of losing weight. When she saw that her weight wasn't dropping like it should, she took a test and "of course, I found out I was pregnant."

Jo Dee is now in her third trimester. "I've gained about 11 pounds, which is good. I'm staying really fit. I run 30 minutes a day and weight train for an hour, 5 days a week. This is all baby!"

In fact, she's in such good shape, she plans on running a 5-mile race on Thanksgiving Day. "I'll be 8 months pregnant and running," Jo Dee laughs. She wants to be back in shape and ready to shoot the video for her song, "Unmistakable," six weeks after giving birth.

As for a concert tour, Jo Dee is planning to tour next year and, yes, she'll be bringing the baby on the road with her. For now, though, Jo Dee and Chris are getting ready for the new arrival. Chris is an "amazing" woodworker and built their son's crib.

"We painted the room," says Jo Dee. "Chocolate brown, with one wall pale green and one with a square design on it. We got new carpet. We haven’t started the whole, 'Let's go to the store and buy tons of stuff' yet, though. Everytime I think about it I get overwhelmed."

Um, chocolate brown and pale green? Guess there's no accounting for taste, no matter how much money you have.

Weekend Update: Amy Poehler Gives Birth!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:22:00 GMT

I'm guessing SNL star Amy Poehler won't be making it to Weekend Update tonight, since she's doing her own weekend update - the 37-year-old has just given birth to her first child!

Updated with details and baby's name!

According to TMZ sources, Amy has been in labor all day, but she and husband Will Arnett are now the proud parents to a son!

Amy's TV partner, Seth Myers will do Weekend Update by himself, but I'm sure he can handle it.

No other details of the birth are available yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Congrats! And although we're happy for Amy, the birth of her baby, means no more SNL (waaaa!) but last weekend she was hilarious, heavily pregnant doing her rap routine on Weekend Update, with Sarah Palin at the desk too. Check it out HERE!

*Updated* Amy and Will have named their son Archie Arnett, who was born in New York and he weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz. Their rep Lewis Kay said, "Amy, Will and Archie ar all healthy and resting comfortably."

Jane Kaczmarek Says Children Keep Her Young

Karl Erikson — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Former "Malcolm in the Middle" mom Jane Kaczmarek is 52 now and starring in the brand new "Raising The Bar" on TNT. Jane has a tribe of her own, of course, with husband Bradley Whitford. There's Frances, 11, George, 8, and Mary Louisa, 5. And she says her kids definitely keep her young, if for no other reason than the fact she is often "hanging out with all these women in their 30s."

"I think the great thing about being older is you are so much more aware that your days are numbered," Jane says. "I am so grateful for everything in my life at this point. It doesn't get any better than this, and you realize this is all going to end one day."

That very notion is what made Jane fire her nanny and take a lot of time off after "Malcolm in the Middle" wrapped for the last time. She loved her nanny, but "didn't want somebody else, no matter how good they are," to fill the mommy role. "They are my kids. I want to be taking care of them."

Brad and Jane are celebrity parents, but they keep their kids very grounded. There's only one TV in the house "that's usually never on." Both parents drive Hondas. And for birthdays, the couple requests donations for Smile Train or the Children's Defense fund, two amazing kids' charities.

I think that's where I draw the line. Not at charity, of course, but hell...birthdays are birthdays, man. Kids deserve presents on birthdays, something other than underwear and socks.

Still, it's pretty admirable, the parenting job Jane and Bradley are doing. Gotta love the family values thing. It seems pretty rare in Hollywood.

Will Arnett on Baby Names

Karl Erikson — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:21:00 GMT

Funny man Will Arnett has been kicking around baby names with wife Amy Poehler. The couple are expecting next month.

"I want to call our baby Midnight or 411," Arnett said, "I really like information, and being a night owl. It's a good fit."

Wow, I had a cat named Midnight for 14 years. I think it'd be a fitting tribute. She got lost when my family moved back from New Mexico to New York, though. Maybe it wouldn't be a good name, after all. I kinda get weepy whenever I think of Midnight. If I started tearing up every time I saw Amy Poehler's baby, that would be rough. I'm sure she's going to be a big part of the Famecrawler family in years to come.

Speaking of Poehler, she says the couple is bound for Los Angeles pretty soon. "I'll miss living in NYC," she said, "but I won't miss working in midtown during the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting."
