Solange Knowles is Mother First, Artist Second

Karl Erikson — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:04:00 GMT

When Solange Knowles, little sister of megastar Beyonce Knowles, was 13 she was a dancer for Destiny's Child. Since then, she's written songs for Destiny's Child and Beyonce, gotten married, had a child, and gotten a divorce. And her new album "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" was just released.

Solange is supposedly a lot more mature than when she released her first solo album in 2003. "I changed dramatically. I was 17 years old when I got pregnant. At 17, your whole life is about going to prom and going to the mall shopping and really not about much. But soon as you find out you're welcoming a child, your life is changed drastically," Knowles says.

That's the mother of all understatements.

She's 22 now. "You have definitely more morals. You definitely have more of a conscience, and your first priority is your child. Everything I do from this point on, I have him in the back of my mind. At this point, I think also being a mother has given me the courage to do the things that truly make me happy. The best part right now is being a mom - being Julez's mom. At the end of the day when all of this is over, I just want to make sure my son is happy with me as a mom first."

Christina Aguilera Will Teach Her Son To Respect Women

Karen — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:04:00 GMT

Aguilera is known for her voluptuous figure, and her figure-revealing outfits. After all, she is a former Disney star.

Well the new mom is vowing never to give up her sexuality or those outfits that she wears for performing.

She said: “I will never regret any of my raunchier outfits. We’ll have a good laugh when I’m 60 and still trying to squeeze those suckers on. Much of what I do as an artist is about self expression and being unafraid.”

She said: “Max will understand that being an entertainer is my job and there was a time when I was brave enough to be very open with my sexuality. It’s good that he can learn to respect women and understand that it’s not wrong for a female to be proud of her sexuality and her body.”

Actually, all snark aside, I'm with her on this one. She's right that a woman should embrace her sexuality and be proud of it.

Christina Aguilera Fires Manager Over Baby Photo Debaucle

Karen — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:09:00 GMT

Apparently Christina Aguilera is furious over her baby photos failing to sell People Magazine as well as what was projected. People reportedly paid over $1.5 million dollars for the pictures and sales actually went down for that issue, falling short by about 100,000 copies.

Furthermore, Aguilera is apparently furious that J-Lo's babies are fetching an estimated $6 million dollars:

"She (Aguilera) went crazy. The firm wasn't part of the team that secured Friday's $6 million payout for photos of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's twins," New York Daily News quoted a source, as saying.

Are we all sure Lynne Spears didn't write that book on how to be a showbiz parent? Because these women, Nicole Richie included, seem to be whoring out their kids and wringing them out for every cent they can get. It's as disgusting as Christina Aguilera's tits practically falling out on the Ellen show.

Jen Garner Really IS Perfect: More Evidence

Karen — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:04:00 GMT

I think all of us here at Famecrawler should title all our posts like this. Now our lovely favorite Hollywood Mama is ringing in the holidays on the cover of the December issue of Glamour Magazine. Looking perfect in a gorgeous wintery backless gown, Jennifer shows off some more of her perfection in that perfect smile, with those perfect dancing eyes, and topping it off like a perfect sundae with those perfectly perfect dimples.

God, what a .... nope, can't do it.

This issue of Glamour features Jennifer and 12 other Women of the Year. I wonder who else made the list. I'm thinking Britney, Virgie Arthur and me.

Jennifer Garner: She Really IS Perfect

Karen — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 12:11:00 GMT

Seriously, since I'm not allowed to say anything nasty about Jennifer Garner without Whit and BadKitty clawing out my eyes, I just have to post these pics from Just Jared and say, She's beautiful, a good mom AND the wench knows Itsy Bitsy Spider. My kids can recite Chamillionaire's Ridin' (Radio Edit) and OH MY GOD, I just noticed she HAS DIMPLES. On HER FACE. I have dimples but uhhhh...God I'm such a hag of a bad mother. Hold me.

Gwen Stefani and Her Baby Blingmobile

Karen — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 13:03:00 GMT

I really like Gwen Stefani. No one else rocks red lipstick quite like her, but I have to question those glasses. They look like The Flintstones and The Jetsons made love inside a stone time machine. There's something else about this picture but I can't quite put my finger on it. Baby Kingston is sure cute though.

Denise Richards Is A Stupid Witch

Karen — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:02:00 GMT

Hey uh, Denise? Halloween hasn't happened yet sweetie. Yeah it's on October 31st. Did your friends look at you funny when you brought the kids door-to-door in your costumes?

Well yes, the kids looked really cute, but um, you must know this won't help the crazy you're being accused of in court, right?

Jennifer Garner Won't Sign Tabloid Magazines

Karen — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:04:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner was out signing autographs after her performance in the play Cyrano de Bergerac in New York City. When asked to sign a tabloid for a fan, she refused, saying "“I’ll sign anything else but.”

The magazine was a People. Once again, there's nothing bad I can say about Jen. She's sweet, a good mama, and Whit and BadKitty would kick my butt if I did.

Tori Spelling and What's His Name Go To A Restaurant

Karen — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 15:40:00 GMT

It's been really slow on news from the stars in the last few days and all I've got for you is a lame, boring video of Tori Spelling and her hubby going into a restaurant.

Will someone please head to LA and start pulling stars out of their homes? Kthxbye.

Britney Loses Visitation Rights

Karen — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 17:03:00 GMT

What an idiot. Yesterday K-Fart's lawyer Mark Kaplan called an emergency hearing and it was decided that Brit-Twit will not see her children until further notice, for failing to comply with judge's orders. We're not sure at this time which of the orders she messed up, but we'll bring you details once we know.

The next hearing is October 26th.

Britney Hopes a Healer Will Cleanse Her Soul, Famecrawler Recommends Gloves for Shaman

Karen — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:04:00 GMT

The troubled pop star, after losing custody of her kids, has decided to arrange a meeting with a head shaman near a reservation at the base of the Grand Canyon.

A source said: "The head shaman has agreed to perform the ritual on Britney, which is a great honour.

"The shaman will wave sage over her head and daub her temples with a magical potion. And the learned Indians will chant mantra and perform a special dance around her."

Britney decided on this method of cleansing after hearing Owen Wilson doing the same after his attempted suicide.

I can just see this going down. Either Britney will be surprised that you can't text a shaman to cancel or postpone, and once she finally does arrive, the paparazzi will be all over this like a pack of wolves. I can't imagine that will be okay with a shaman. The healing will be a big joke to Britney, and then she'll ask the shaman to be a back-up dancer, because clearly, no one else wants the job.

Britney's Biggest Fan Doesn't Know Who J-Lo Is

Karen — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:31:00 GMT

It must have been a slow night in Paparazzi Land last night since the paps ended up asking Chris "Leave Britney Alone!" Crocker what he thought of J-Lo being pregnant.

If that weren't enough, they asked the television star wannabe his/her advice for Britney Spears. Surprisingly, he/she didn't break down ~ it was pretty sage advice.

Britney Spears Threatens to Commit Suicide

Karen — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:57:00 GMT

Britney's recent win of weekly overnight visits with her beautiful babies isn't enough to keep the pop-star happy. It's been reported that Britney threatened suicide in a phone call to Kevin Federline:

"I'm going to drive off the cliff! It's going to be your fault that I killed myself," she then sped down Mulholland Drive that runs along a steep road.

She is getting a ton of attention from the paparazzi, on a daily basis, but I guess she needs her ex-husband to pay attention too. Of course she's only digging her hole deeper and deeper if this is true. I really wish she would get some professional help.

Britney Spears Neglects More Little People

Karen — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

Suck-up-to-the-stars OK! Magazine is reporting that Britney Spears cancelled auditions yet again, for back-up dancers for her upcoming TOUR. Tour? What the hell?

Spears had scheduled dancers auditions from 9 to 5 yesterday, but text messaged at 11:00 to say she wasn't coming. Some of the dancers appeared dejected after receiving the news. When Usmagazine.com asked one of the 37 auditioners whether she was disappointed, she replied, "Whatever."

OK! Magazine says the 25 year-old trainwreck is claiming the flu, but she was later blinded by the paparazzi while coming out of a tanning salon. Yes that's what I do when I'm spewing chunks and recovering: head to the tanning salon. Lying much?

Apparently, the flashbulbs were so overwhelming, she has to be escorted back to her car, at which time her Starbucks radar went off and she pulled an entire franchise out of her hideous mega-purse and whipped up a 5000 calorie Frappacino.

So this TOUR. Hmmm. Think she's serious? I mean, doesn't she have to be in court every other week to prove she's a superstar parent? If she's canceling auditions like that, who's to say she won't cancel shows, say, an hour after they are supposed to start?

An aside: She is STILL wearing those fugly brown boots. Any bets on what they smell like?

Katie Holmes Is Gonna Run, Run, Run, Run Away

HerBadMother — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 14:03:00 GMT

Katie Holmes is reportedly training to run the New York City Marathon next year.

No word on why she plans to run - I wouldn't have pegged her for the loneliness of the long-distance runner type - but my guess is that it's practice for the day that she needs to get the hell out of Cruise-town. If she's spotted "training" with Suri in a baby carrier and a stack of Louis Vuitton luggage piled into the jogging stroller, we'll know something's up.

12 Reasons Not To Buy Britney's Album, The Blackout

Karen — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:31:00 GMT

The Blackout indeed. I couldn't think of a more fitting title for this album, except maybe, The Trainwreck. I wonder if Britney's "people" helped her name it and are all snickering behind her back.

People.com has the exclusive on the cover art for Britney's new album and it isn't what Fox News was reporting, which I thought looked like an old picture anyway. Here's the cover:

The song list is out too, (not this, but some are there) but only 12 songs? Seems like Underachiever Spears is at it again.

Some of the song titles really interested us here at FC:

1. Gimme More - More what Babygirl, Cheetos?

2. Piece of Me - Honey, we've seen MORE than enough of you!

3. Radar - That's what your car gives off every time you go anywhere - directly to the paparazzi.

4. Break The Ice - Nice meth reference honey. Think we don't speculate on how you dropped all that weight?

5. Heaven On Earth - Hyde? Paris Hilton's Vagina? J.R. Rotem's Armpit? Oh wait, Taco Bell!

6. Get Naked (I Got A Plan) - You got a plan? I bet it doesn't include panties, sugarpants.

7. Freakshow - This one is about K-Fart, right? Projecting much, Darlin'?

8. Toy Soldier - You realize Eminem wrote this song already, right sweetie?

9. Hot As Ice - Yet another meth reference? We GET it honey, you're not fat anymore.

10.Ooh Ooh Baby - The visual from this title makes me want to scrub vigorously

11.Perfect Lover - See #10

12. Why Should I Be Sad - Because your life is in the toilet and clearly, no one has told you yet.

The album is set to release early on October 30th, because of several leaks to the internet. There's also talk of the young mother going on tour. I'd type more but I've rolled my eyes so many times over Britney that they are permanently fixated to my frontal lobe.

Britney Really IS a Moron, or TMZ Makes Up Stories

Karen — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 01:19:00 GMT

According to x17online, Britney left the courthouse extremely happy (video) with the judgment that she could have her kids for one overnight a week. The thing is, according to TMZ, (who reported she left the courthouse visibly upset contrary to photos) she was extremely disrespectful to the judge.

TMZ is reporting that she went back and forth with the judge, interrupting him and being really sarcastic. They start 3 paragraphs with "We're told..." but it doesn't add up. After reading x17online and TMZ for some time, I gotta say the latter is great at being an online rag mag.

While Britney certainly has a lot to learn, I have a real problem with TMZ making up a bunch of bullshit just to get people to read. Not cool.

Judge to Britney and Kevin's Lawyers: Hug It Out, Britney Has Issues?

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:02:00 GMT

We've been reporting all morning about Britney's requested emergency court hearing so she could have her kid overnight, and the fact that she slept in and missed it. The orders have come down from the judge and he wants the two lawyers to work it out, after rejecting the petition from Britney's camp.

There has been some talk of Brit's Mom Lynne being appointed as the supervisor during these supervised visits, especially since Britney has "privacy issues."

I call bullshit, Nipple Chick. Don't make me pull out panty pictures and call up Tony "I saw Britney naked" Baretto.

Video: Britney's Reason For Missing Court Appearance

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:01:00 GMT

X17online is reporting that they followed Britney to Target last night where she filled a prescription for sleeping pills. Apparently she seemed frustrated with the paparazzi, went in, and then came out all smiles. I guess Cheetos were on sale or something, y'all.

So Britney returned home, popped a pill and slept in this morning. K-Fart's lawyer had this to say, even before Britney failed to show up for the court appearance she requested:

"The fact that a party, one week after a full court hearing, attempts to change the orders of the court, in the absence of an emergency or without any new facts, suggests a continued lack of respect and understanding for what an order of the court actually means. "

I'll say. Who does she think she is?

Video: Britney Drives To Mom's Place Close to Tears, Court Today

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:06:00 GMT

Britney drove to where her mother is staying last night, and looks close to tears in the video.

She is heading back to court at 8:30 this morning to request overnights with the kids after passing several drug tests. She's hoping to show the judge how serious she is about her babies and with the addidtion (intervention?) of Mom Lynne, I can't help but wonder if Britney is actually getting her shit together.

Kevin Is Alright With Being Britney's Ex Wife

Karen — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:14:00 GMT

Once upon a time, when Kevin and Britney got together, we all said, "golddigger," and "wifebeater" because of the bling and the wifebeater undershirts that Kevin sported on a regular basis. But it seems that ex-wife Federline is claiming in Life and Style Magazine that Britney was the Ike Turner of the relationship and she hit him regularly. He also claims (Are you sitting down? Put your glass down too because I don't want your keyboard to get soaked) that the reason she hit him, is because she felt 'threatened that his talent would surpass hers.'

May I remind you of this?

It's Britney's bitch.

PETA Hounds K-Fed to Gain Custody of Britney's Dogs

Karen — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 13:03:00 GMT

PETA is sticking up for their furry friends and are worried about Britney's ability to look after her dogs, in light of her recent loss of custody with her kids.

A letter from PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk, she writes to Fed-Ex: "For the sake of your children and the animals who are at risk while in Ms. Spears' custody, we hope that you will do the right and best thing for all involved and pursue a custody order for the animals so that your sons can continue to have the company of the animals they've grown to adore."

I had no idea PETA cared that much about Alli "I'm Yer Assistant Riding Yer Coattails Y'all" Sims, or whatever her name is.

Tatum O'Neal Has Great Advice For Britney Spears

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:02:00 GMT

The Paper Moon star lost custody of her own children because of a heroin addiction, so she knows of what she speaks.

She "needs to be in recovery and get her disease of addiction together," said O'Neal, 43. "I relate to her and feel really sad for her," O'Neal told Entertainment Tonight in a interview due to air Thursday night.

Mother to three children: Kevin, Sean, and Emily. The couple divorced in 1992 and remain openly hostile toward one another. When O'Neal became a heroin addict in 1995, ex-husband John McEnroe took and kept custody of their kids.

"I did everything that she doesn't want to do," said O'Neal. "I did the drug testing ... It was very humbling, but I wanted those kids back. But I wanted those kids more than I cared about getting [back at anybody]. I wanted those kids in my life because my mother lost custody of me when I was six years old. So I relate, you know, and I feel sad."

"Not being able to see my kids is like part of me is missing," a recovering O'Neal told PEOPLE in 2002. "Part of my soul is missing."

"Hopefully she will figure [it] out," O'Neal told ET. "But it's going to be hard and she will do it publicly and that sucks."

Kevin Federline To Keep Custody, Brit Gets Supervised Visitation

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 03:03:00 GMT

Lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline met on Wednesday for another court hearing to decide the fate of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline was present in court but...

...Britney stayed at home to receive the news. Commissioner Gordon upheld his October 1st decision, giving Kevin Federline full custody until further court order.

Britney will have visitation rights, but her visits with the boys will be supervised.

The next hearing is scheduled for October 26th.

Britney Spears Is Heading Back to Rehab?

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 00:14:00 GMT

According to MSNBC, she is reportedly going back to rehab, to the same place she spent one day in back in February: Crossroads in Antigua, owned by Eric Clapton.

This news comes on the heels of Britney losing custody of her kids, and getting in serious trouble with Commissioner Gordon. We can only hope the young mother gets some serious counseling and actually responds to it this time around.
