SJP's Surrogate Is A Wild Child

Josh loposer — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Rumor has it that the woman carrying Sarah Jessica Parker's twins may not be a beacon of conventional morality and wholesomeness. (Hint: it's not Elisabeth Hasselbeck)

According to Star Magazine, SJP's surrogate is a 26-year-old Ohio woman named Michelle Ross, and her boyfriend is blabbing to reporters about her "checkered past."

Ross' ex says that she's a bi-sexual, with a tattoo on her wrist to signify the fact that she swings both ways. Apparently, she's also a bit unconventional when it comes to fashion. Says Ross:

"I have had pink hair and tattoos and spiked collars. My favorite shoes are five-inch black spike heels which lace up the front."

When choosing a surrgoate, there are two ways of looking at it: either you want to know every last detail about the mother of your child, or you just go into it completely blind. Yikes.

I'm not sure if SJP went into this completely blind, or if she just didn't mind that Michelle was a little different ... but it sound like Ross is about one step away from being the kind of freaky surrogate that Amy Poehler played in Baby Mama. Maybe even crazier.

Sighting: Lisa Bonet & New Son Nakoa-Wolf

Sassy Smith — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:08:00 GMT

Lisa Bonet, her husband Jason Momoa and their newest edition to the family, 3-month-old son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, were spotted at The Grove's Farmers Market on Wednesday. Although we don't get to see baby Nakoa-Wolf, I'm betting he's beautiful - has to be with gorgeous parents like that!

Couple more pics after the jump!

Baby Nakoa-Wolf is the second child for Lisa and Jason - they have a 20-month-old daughter Lola Iolani, and Lisa is mom to 20-year-old Zoe Isabella, with her ex Lenny Kravitz.

Lisa will be returning to work soon - back to filming Life on Mars.

Natascha McElhone Shows Off Baby Boy for First Time

Karl Erikson — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:38:00 GMT

Actress Natascha McElhone, most recently seen in the series "Californication," lost her husband recently after a sudden death from heart attack. And she was pregnant at the time. Since then, she's had the baby, Rex, who was born in October.

Natascha showed up to her latest movie premiere - "Heaven and Earth" - with Rex in tow and showed him off to the press for the first time. She brought her other sons, too - Theo, 8, and Otis, 5.

Cute family, yeah? I really enjoy Natascha's films, ever since "Ronin." Sad, losing her husband when he was only 42. Wish her all the best.

Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa Welcome Son with a Doozy of a Name

Karl Erikson — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:03:00 GMT

It's a son for Lisa Bonet and boyfriend Jason Momoa! Lisa gave birth in December, actually, to new son - get this freaking name - Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. Geez, I guess Consonant Warehouse was fresh out of most of the letters.

Nakoa-Wolf has an older sister, 17-month-old Lola Iolani, along with Zoe Isabella, 20, Lisa's daughter with Lenny Kravitz.

Jason's mom explained the new boy's name on Jason's official forum. Nakoa means "warrior," Mana refers to "strength/spirit," and Kaua means "rain." Po means "dark," which calls to mind the conditions during his birth. And Namakaeha is also Jason's middle name. So put all that together and you get "Strong Rainy Dark Warrior." Huh.

Lisa, who has a small part on ABC's "Life on Mars" is 40 and Jason is 29.

Congrats, Lisa and Jason!

Celine Dion's Son Doesn't Want A Haircut

Sassy Smith — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:37:00 GMT

Canadian singer Celine Dion's seven-year-old son René-Charles, has really long hair, I mean really long. Dion takes a lot of flack for it, but she said he's never wanted a haircut and she hasn't forced the issue. What do you think? Is hair a big enough deal to make an issue out of it or should parents pick their battles, leaving hair out of it?

Dion's son isn't the only celebrity boy with long hair - there's Ryder Russell, son of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, who has very long hair too, just like his dad. Cindy Crawford's boy, Presley Walker, 9, has really long hair. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's son, five-year-old James is sporting a longer do. Longer hair on boys is so in right now - my own pre-teen son has long hair and it was super long a few months ago - so long in fact, that he was being called a girl when we went out in public. Mind you, it wasn't as long as René-Charles' hair, but he could have let it get that long if he wanted.

Celine told Oprah on a recent appearance: "We decide as a family what's good for us. And that includes hairstyles." Celine said that her son has never had a haircut because the kid just doesn't want one. "I've asked him, and he says, 'I like my hair like that.'"

I've never had hair battles with my kids - my 3 sons and daughter have always had the freedom to have their hair the way they like it. Sure, there were styles that my two older sons (now adults) sported that I didn't like, but so what? It's hair. It grows out, grows back, goes back to it's original color. I say, big deal. Pick your battles - if the kids are doing their best in school, have manners, are respectful and are generally all-around good kids, who cares if they have long hair, pink hair or want to shave their head bald? Let's just hope that the 'mullet' doesn't come back in style.

Celine Dion Trying for Baby #2

Karl Erikson — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:02:00 GMT

Celine Dion and husband Rene Angelil are planning on having a second child, but not until Celine finishes her upcoming world tour. The 40-year-old singer have a son thanks to fertility treatments, Rene-Charles, who is 7 now. Rene? Wait, she's a boy? Well, that kid's not gonna get his butt kicked on the playground.

Celine, who is on her Taking Chances World Tour, says, "We are going to give it a try after my tour. Hopefully, we are pregnant again. I have a small window of hope. But we have been so blessed already. We tried 6 years for Rene Charles. We have our miracle baby."

Maybe the next boy will be named Candy or Sally. Or they can get Rene a haircut.

Sarah Palin, TV Star?

Karl Erikson — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:35:00 GMT

Word is out that Sarah Palin may be a TV star. You know, if the Vice President thing doesn't work out on November 4. She's already locked herself into the media with all the coverage she's getting on the campaign trail and at Saturday Night Live. Heck, we at Famecrawler love her, too. And according to the Hollywood Reporter, "producers and agents across the entertainment world" want Sarah to star in a daytime talk show, news program, or reality TV series.

Nobody has made her an offer yet. I'm sure they'll wait until after the election. It's McCain's sliding poll numbers that have producers frothing at the mouth, though. The favorite idea is a talk show similar to Oprah's. If not that, then a Sean Hannity-type news and opinion show. In third place is the reality show idea - sort of "The Osbournes meets Northern Exposure."

Now THAT I'd pay to see. The mother of 5 and her family might make for really good TV. The adorable moose hunting from a helicopter scenes alone would be priceless.

Anna Friel Has a Dancing Daughter

Karl Erikson — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 12:03:00 GMT

Like many parents, actress Anna Friel has a princess and performer on her hands with 3-year-old daughter Gracie Ellen. She's "eating breakfast in the morning in a princess dress." Anna is one of the stars of "Pushing Daisies" and the 32-year-old mom says that Gracie is very likely going to follow her parents into the entertainment industry. Anna's husband of 8 years is actor David Thewlis (most known nowadays for playing Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter films).

Grace often comes to the "Daisies" set and loves hanging out there. Anna says that Gracie is "a wonderful dancer." When she was smaller, she loved listening to Nirvana. "We've got her on video rocking out in a nappy. We should put that on Youtube."

She was asked about the best part of being a mom. "What isn’t the best thing about being a mommy? Especially now that we can have conversations with each other, and I know what she’s actually thinking, and whether she’s happy or not. I’m watching her learn. She goes to sleep and then, the next morning, so many weird transitions have happened in her brain that have connected things together."

If I was Gracie, I'd wake up every day, walk out to the living room and say, "Holy crap! Anna Friel is in my house! AGAIN!"

Lisa Bonet Confirms She's Pregnant

Karl Erikson — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:01:00 GMT

Surprise, surprise. Lisa Bonet is pregnant. This is about as shocking as when we heard the bombshell that Ellen Degeneres is a lesbian. Lisa has been wearing baggy clothes for a while now. 40-year-old Lisa says, "I'm seven months and I feel great. I've had a tremendous amount of energy, which is lucky, because I have a 14-month-old."

Geez, she got pregnant 7 months after giving birth? What, is she taking lessons from Jamie Lynn? Oh, I forgot. Jamie Lynn isn't pregnant. Right.

This will be Lisa's and Jason Momoa's second child together. She's also a mom to Zoe Isabella, 19, fathered by Lenny Kravitz.

Lisa Bonet, 40-year-old star of "The Cosby Show" and the upcoming "Life on Mars," was jetting off at LAX with boyfriend Jason Momoa the other day. Geez, Denise Huxtable plays with her hair a lot, doesn't she? And why is it that her 29-year-old boyfriend has better hair than she does?

Momoa is probably best known for his role on "Stargate: Atlantis" (which I love). He and Lisa are the parents of daughter Lola Iolani Momoa, 14 months. Wow, that's a mouthful, eh? Lola Iolani Momoa? No future name change there, I'm sure.

Lisa also has a 19-year-old daughter (Zoe) with singer Lenny Kravitz. Now, excuse me while I finish watching the BRITISH version of "Life on Mars." I sincerely hope they don't screw up the American version. First episode comes on Thursday night.

Contance Zimmer Talks About Losing the Baby Weight

Karl Erikson — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Entourage's Constance Zimmer says that being a mom can be a joy AND a pain, especially when it comes to losing the baby weight. Constance gave birth to her daughter, Colette Zoe, last January.

She says, "I did a food program called Fresh mommy, which is all delivered organic food that's really good for you. You need to eat so much food after you have a baby to breastfeed, so it's all about portion control."

Portion control? What the hell is that? Am I supposed to limit what I'm eating? No WONDER.

Constance also exercised to get back to her "regular" body. "I walked a lot. I wore a weight vest when I walked, so it was an added four pounds of weight every time I walked. It's been 8 months. This industry doesn't give you any time to take off the baby weight. It kind of has to happen right away."

Exercise? What the hell is that?

She says that being a mom has also affected her fashion choices. "It's like, I'm a mom, I'm not really going to be seen in a half-shirt any more."

Fashion? What the hell is that?

Mindy McCready Going Back to the Big House

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is no stranger to trouble. She's been arrested for a variety of reasons in the past: prescription medicine abuse, DUI, identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, violation of probation, battery, resisting arrest...hell, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. She is, in essence, the perfect country song. She's even attempted suicide.

Now she's going back to jail for another probation violation. The 32-year-old singer and mother of 2-year-old Zander Ryan McCready will voluntarily surrender to Tennessee authorities and sit in a cell for 60 days.

"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me," Mindy said, "so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Oh, hon, you're entertaining all right. Just not in a good way. But I'm sure of this...you're PERFECT for the country music industry.

Dennis Quaid Doesn't Deny Being a Cheater

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:35:00 GMT

Oh, man. Dennis has the CRAZY EYES!

Recently, Meg Ryan told the world about her ex-husband's infidelity. She said of Dennis Quaid: "It was a great story. But what wasn’t in the story was the reality of my marriage for nine years. Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that once I was divorced."

Well, Dennis Quaid isn't sitting down about this. He told the NY Daily News:

"It was eight years ago, and I find it unbelievable that Meg continues publicly to rehash and rewrite the story of our relationship. Also, I find it regrettable that our son, Jack, has to be reminded in a public way of the turmoil and pain that every child feels in a divorce. I, myself, moved on years ago and am fortunate to have a happy, beautiful family."

In other words, "Can't we please forget about what a cheater I am? My wife certainly has."

I'd say Meg hit a sore spot. Why else would Dennis feel a need to respond?

Sarah Palin's Son Off to Iraq

Karl Erikson — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:35:00 GMT

Sarah Palin's son, Track, is officially off to Iraq. The 19-year-old son of the VP candidate left from Fort Wainright as a Private First Class, along with hundreds of other infantrymen. The exact date wasn't released, but they'll be stopping over in Kuwait for more training and processing before they deploy to Iraq.

Track enlisted on September 11 of last year without telling his parents, and gets no preferential treatment in the service. He'll be operating a Stryker - a 19-ton armored vehicle - and be security for brigade leaders.

In the meantime Sarah Palin has been in New York, meeting with United Nations people. Based on her statement regarding being able to see Russia from Alaska, these meetings are going to make her an expert in world relations.

Meg Ryan Talks About Being the "Scarlet Woman"

Karl Erikson — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:23:00 GMT

The October issue of "In Style" magazine has Meg Ryan blabbing about the end of her marriage to Dennis Quaid, the affairs, the works. 46-year-old Ryan was once dubbed the "Scarlet Woman" - you know, after she was "America's sweetheart." Her latest film, "The Women," has been an enormous disappointment in movie theaters, only racking up $5 million this past week.

She talked about Dennis Quaid's affairs. "Dennis was not faithful to me for a long time, and that was very painful. I am not a victim. I was there. I was in that marriage for a really long time." Quaid and Ryan have a son together, Jack, now 16. She also has little Daisy True, who she adopted from China a couple of years ago.

Meg also says that Russell Crowe, who she had an affair with, was not responsible for her divorce from Quaid. "Russell didn't break up the marriage. I was a mess. I hurt him, too, at the end. I couldn't be in another long relationship. It wasn't the time for that, so I got out."

I can't remember when Meg went and screwed up her lips, but it wouldn't surprise me if Crowe ditched her for that debacle. Those are some messed up lips, yo.

Natascha McElhone Pushes on For Her Children

Karl Erikson — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Actress Natascha McElhone, known for roles in "The Truman Show," "Solaris," and "The Other Boleyn Girl," is expecting her third child and is due in just weeks. But it'll have to be without her husband, Martin Kelly, who died of a surprise heart attack in May. The couple already had a pair of sons - Theo, 8, and Otis, 5, and it's been because of them that Natascha has been able to push on through life. She hasn't had any time to be "self-indulgent." With children depending on you, there's no room for that.

McElhone, 36, was working on Showtime's "Californication" and got a voicemail from her husband just 13 minutes before his death in London. Her sons were with her in Los Angeles at the time of their father's death. The couple were planning on celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary the next week, along with the 20-week ultrasound for the baby.

"He left me this message, full of the joys...he couldnt wait to come out, he was so excited about the scan, so excited about the baby," she tells the Times Online. "Thank God, a lovely last message."

It was a family friend who called hours later to give Natascha the horrible news. "I dropped the phone and my knees sort of buckled under me." And telling the boys, who were just across the street playing?

"I thought of trying to suspend time or wait and not tell them for a day but I couldn’t bear the idea of other people knowing and them not. I remember looking out of the window and seeing them chasing after each other with huge squeals of delight and thinking, 'I’m about to shatter their world.' They came in and they were like little boys are, full of energy and excitement, and I told them what had happened. And then the clouds descended...it was awful."

Since then she has made memory boxes for all three children, filling them with lots of Martin's favorite music, letter written by friends, and other keepsakes so that the kids will have a better grasp on who their father was. The kids seem to be responding well.

Natascha's third child is due in about a month. We wish her all the best.

Ellen Pompeo Wants Babies in the Worst Way

Karl Erikson — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:31:00 GMT

Ellen Pompeo, 38-year-old star of "Grey's Anatomy," got married to record producer Chris Ivery last year. And now she says babies are on her brain all the time. She spoke to Allure magazine in their October issue, saying, "It's a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously."

"We enjoy our life so much," she says. "We go to Europe and sleep in. So when I have the baby, I won't feel like we've missed any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon. But I've got to get on it, because the clock is ticking."

In the meantime, Ellen is keeping plenty busy with "Anatomy." She has a two-year contract with the show, so she'll be intern Meredity Grey for a while more. She can't believe the show is the success that it is, either.

"When I did the pilot, I thought, 'I can't stand medical shows. This will never get on.'"

Meg Ryan-Get The Heck Out Of Hollywood

trix — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:37:00 GMT

Meg Ryan's new movie The Women is out in the theater, but she feels that she'll never quite as popular as she was.

You can never go back.

Meg is okay with that. She doesn't have any desire to play any of the roles she used to play. She said, "I think when Hollywood is done with me, I will probably be done with it. I'm not interested in playing those stock characters any more and I don't feel sad that I don't get those kind of offers." When Meg Ryan hears those words ringing in the air she'll head out of town.

After her very public split from Dennis Quaid in 2001 she took some time off from public life. She wanted to relax and take it easy. No matter the reason, she missed out on quite a few years of prime acting.
