Jason Priestley: It's A Boy

Josh loposer — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:30:00 GMT

We knew Jason and Naomi Lowde-Priestley were expecting a second child, but until Saturday, Jason was keeping the baby's details on a need to know basis.

The couple was spotted chatting it up with other celebs and shopping for blue baby gear at LA's Silver Spoon Dog & Baby Buffet over the weekend, when a source revealed the sex of the baby:

"[Naomi] confirmed they were having a boy," says a source. "They are so excited. They said this is probably it for them because now they'll have one of each!"

Why exactly are 90210 star and the makeup artist keeping the details of their pregnancy hidden from fans? Jason says he just wants to keep things on the down low (although I think his silence just creates more curiosity).

Anyhow, the couple obviously likes their privacy, and that's cool. Perhaps that's why Naomi and Jason don't have a nanny -- a luxury that would come in handy as they try to juggle two entertainment careers while attending to 22 month-old Ava.

Durst and Bizkit Limping Back to Do It Again (Probably for the Nookie)

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:34:00 GMT

Fred Durst is reportedly a softer, gentler man these days. He's more about family than sex tapes and controversy. He still wants to rock though.

Durst and the original lineup from the band Limp Bizkit have announced that they are "more disgusted and bored with the state of heavy popular music than we are with each other."

Yeah, that sounds like it will work.

A new album and tour are planned.

Do you think Durst will go the way of Britney Spears and bring the family on tour? For some reason backstage at a Limp Bizkit concert doesn't seem very kid-friendly.

This is where I wanted to post a video of Cookie Monster doing "I Did It All for the Cookie," but upon further review that never actually happened.

Clint Eastwood: Older But Better Father

Karl Erikson — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 18:33:00 GMT

Clint Eastwood is 78. He's been in a ton of movies, and directed some really phenomenal films, as well. He also has 7 kids, including 11-year-old daughter Morgan. Clint says that age is just a number, though. He takes lots of family time, saying that his "daughter takes precedence over everything."

Clint says he's a much better father now, especially since he doesn't have to go traipsing all around the world like he did in younger days. He even supports Morgan's sports endeavors. "I go to all the softball games and look ridiculous out there because almost everybody's got a much younger father than me. But it's fun. I think you appreciate a lot more when you get to my age."

Clint's other kids are daughters Kimber, 44, Alison, 36, Kathryn, 20, and Francesca, 15, and sons Kyle, 40, and Scott, 22.

Helena and Nell Stroll In Malibu

Helena Bonham Carter and her daughter Nell hit the streets in Malibu.

They look pretty all dressed in white, don't they? It's so much prettier than Helena's normal outfits of choice.

It looks like Helena Bonham Carter has her hands full with her little Nell. Nell is now 11 months old and by the looks of her, is very confident. I mean, doesn't she look like she's looking at the photographer and asking, Are you looking at me?

Ron Howard: Opie, Richie and Obama

Whit Honea — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:26:00 GMT

Hey kids, you like the time machines? Then strap on your seatbelt and get ready for a ride.

Mr. Ron Howard has been in the lives of most Americans for a very long time. The once child actor and current director is the latest star to put out a political endorsement. He does it with some help from his very cool friends. Heyyyyy!

Yes, it's politics and you may not agree with his view, but it's still fun to see the memories.

Karl Erikson — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 14:04:00 GMT

We just reported that Johnny Depp is cast as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's version of "Alice in Wonderland." The movie is already filming in the U.K. and is due to be released in March of 2010. Here we see Helena Bonham Carter - who is in virtually every Tim Burton flick...nepotism at work - and daughter Nell, 9 months. They're on the set of "Alice." Can't wait to see who else is lined up for the cast. Burton is just a brilliant filmmaker.

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

Paul Anderson's Need For Speed is Slowed Thanks to Dadhood

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:35:00 GMT

Director Paul W.S. Anderson, 43-year-old director of rocking movies like "Mortal Kombat" and "Resident Evil," says he checked his "need for speed" when girlfriend Milla Jovovich gave birth to daughter Ever Gabo. Ever is 9 months old now and family man Anderson gave up his beloved Jaguar for a Cadillac Escalade.

"As a huge family vehicle, I'd give it a 10. It seats so many people - we have one baby, three dogs, my family regularly come over and visits from England. It's a fantastic vehicle for shuffling a large amount of people around in immense comfort."

Geez, you'd think this came from a car magazine or something. Oh, it did. It's from Motor Trend. Despite it being a freaking Cadillac Escalade, Anderson insists they're doing it for the environment.

"We are a one car family right now -- director, movie star, one car between us," Paul says, "We're trying to reduce our carbon footprint." Dude, if you really want to stop global warming, get yourself a Hummer. That's what all the big names are doing. It gets, like, half a mile per gallon or something awesome like that.

Anderson's latest movie is "Death Race," a remake of the classic "Death Race 2000," which starred David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone.

Helena Bonham Carter's Relatives Die In Bus Crash

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:57:00 GMT

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has reportedly lost four of her British relatives in a minibus crash in South Africa, and at least one of the victims was a child.

A rep for the Foreign Office said the victims were on a safari holiday and the vehicle lost control and overturned. Three of the deceased have been named as 14-year-old Marcus Egerton-Warburton, his grandmother Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, and Francis Kirkwood, 75, the boy's step-grandfather. At least two other family members are believed to have been injured in the accident.

A Foreign Office rep said, "We can confirm the deaths of four British nationals in a road traffic accident on August 20. We are still seeking clarification about the accident fromt the South African authorities."

The young teen's mom, Fiona Bonham Carter is thought to have sustained a broken collar bone and his brother, Piers suffered whiplash. The injured have been taken to Johannesburg for medical treatment.

A Facebook memorial has been set up for Marcus, with one friend writing, "Can't put into words how much I will miss you. You are an amazing person you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. marci xxx."

Our condolences to the family.

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

trix — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:46:00 GMT

Last month we helped squash rumors that the Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton named their baby Indiana Rose, “apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly [laughs]."

The Burton Carter duo confirmed to a The Jewish Journal that their baby's name is Nell, after, "all the Helens in the family".

“I feel quite atavistic in the sense that I want them to know where they come from”. I'm not sure she used that word correctly.

I'm sure she will be as beautiful as this Nell.

Seven Months Later - Helena Bonham Carter FINALLY Names Her Baby?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:41:00 GMT

Listen, naming your baby is a big decision - it's obviously something that is with them for life (unless it sucks and they change it when they turn 18), and you want to get it right. Perhaps that's why Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have waited so long to name their 7-month-old daughter?

Technically we're still not 100% they have even named her yet. Seriously. According to IMDB, they've called her Nell. And some UK publications are stating that the infant's name is Allegra Sophie, but Wikipedia states that the baby girl is unnamed or unreleased. Hmm.

Reportedly, in the UK, it's law for parents to name their child by the age of 6 weeks, so the celebrity odd couple would definitely be past that time limit. However, there's no concrete proof that they've named their child. For realz, how could you go MONTHS and not name your baby? What do you call them? It? Hey You? So and So? I've heard of parents needing a few days to come up with just the perfect name but over half a year? Slightly ridiculous if you ask me!

And no, baby's name isn't Indiana Rose - that was rumor and Helena addressed that and said, "Apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly!"

Hey, maybe they HAVE named her and it's been a closely guarded secret!?

Mary-Louise Parker Breaks Toe During Sex Scene

I LOVE Weeds. Up here I can't get the channel, but I heard through the grapevine that it starts tonight. Apparently Mary-Louise Parker works so hard at her job as the main character, she is willing to break a toe over it!

"I smashed it on the bed frame," she told press at the Tony after-party. "Good for me, right? How's that for commitment?" she mused. "Fantastic!"

Yes the show used the footage.

Heh. Footage. Get it? Footage.

"They kind of had to," explained Parker. "It was the first take!"

Helena Bonham Carter Finally Names Her Baby?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:38:00 GMT

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton welcomed their second child - a daughter - on December 15 2007. It's now April 15 2008. One would think four months would be ample time to pick a name out for your baby. So what did the celebrity parents finally name their child?

Technically nothing yet - although some websites had been posting that their baby's name is Indiana Rose Burton. That however, is not the case. Helena commented on that, saying, "Apparently on the internet she's called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don't know where it's come from but it can be that till she's been named properly [laughs]."

There you go - they'll go with Indiana Rose for now (thanks internet websites!) and when they get around to giving their baby a name, we'll let you know. What was I thinking? Four months is barely enough time to name your infant. Hopefully they'll get around to it before she starts school, or she'll have to go with that old standby of, "hey you."

'English Patient' Director Anthony Minghella Dies Under Mysterious Circumstances

HerBadMother — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Anthony Minghella, the Oscar-winning director of "The English Patient," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain" has died. He was 54.

A spokesperson for director said he suffered a brain hemorrhage at 5 A.M. Tuesday morning at Charing Cross Hospital in London, where he had undergone a routine operation on his neck. No word yet on possible causes; the death is being reported as 'mysterious' because the procedure undergoneby Minghella was so routine.

He leaves behind his wife, two grown children, and a loving extended family, including a young nephew, Dante, who many documentary-watching parents would recognize as one of the giften young children featured on the UK Channel 4 series 'Child Genius.'

(Full disclosure: I watch this show and adore young Dante and his family, who are, to put bluntly, the only sympathetic family featured. All the other sets of parents on the show applaud their childrens' genius and push the notion that their self-worth should be bound up in that genius, whereas Dante's parents worry about young Dante being able to enjoy his childhood and not be burdened by his abilities and his quote-unquote genius. Which demonstrates, I think, a different kind of genius, one that runs in the Minghella family, perhaps.)

Such a loss.

Heath Ledger's Impact on Chris Nolan

Whit Honea — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:03:00 GMT

Chris Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight, wrote a very nice piece on Heath Ledger for Newsweek. It is reprinted below:

One night, as I’m standing on LaSalle Street in Chicago, trying to line up a shot for “The Dark Knight,” a production assistant skateboards into my line of sight. Silently, I curse the moment that Heath first skated onto our set in full character makeup. I’d fretted about the reaction of Batman fans to a skateboarding Joker, but the actual result was a proliferation of skateboards among the younger crew members. If you’d asked those kids why they had chosen to bring their boards to work, they would have answered honestly that they didn’t know. That’s real charisma—as invisible and natural as gravity. That’s what Heath had.

Heath was bursting with creativity. It was in his every gesture. He once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was creatively hungry. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. There aren’t many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them.

One time he and another actor were shooting a complex scene. We had two days to shoot it, and at the end of the first day, they’d really found something and Heath was worried that he might not have it if we stopped. He wanted to carry on and finish. It’s tough to ask the crew to work late when we all know there’s plenty of time to finish the next day. But everyone seemed to understand that Heath had something special and that we had to capture it before it disappeared. Months later, I learned that as Heath left the set that night, he quietly thanked each crew member for working late. Quietly. Not trying to make a point, just grateful for the chance to create that they’d given him.

Those nights on the streets of Chicago were filled with stunts. These can be boring times for an actor, but Heath was fascinated, eagerly accepting our invitation to ride in the camera car as we chased vehicles through movie traffic—not just for the thrill ride, but to be a part of it. Of everything. He’d brought his laptop along in the car, and we had a high-speed screening of two of his works-in-progress: short films he’d made that were exciting and haunting. Their exuberance made me feel jaded and leaden. I’ve never felt as old as I did watching Heath explore his talents. That night I made him an offer—knowing he wouldn’t take me up on it—that he should feel free to come by the set when he had a night off so he could see what we were up to.

When you get into the edit suite after shooting a movie, you feel a responsibility to an actor who has trusted you, and Heath gave us everything. As we started my cut, I would wonder about each take we chose, each trim we made. I would visualize the screening where we’d have to show him the finished film—sitting three or four rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues to what he was thinking about what we’d done with all that he’d given us. Now that screening will never be real. I see him every day in my edit suite. I study his face, his voice. And I miss him terribly.

Back on LaSalle Street, I turn to my assistant director and I tell him to clear the skateboarding kid out of my line of sight when I realize—it’s Heath, woolly hat pulled low over his eyes, here on his night off to take me up on my offer. I can’t help but smile.

His Royal Hotness - Johnny Depp

Sassy Smith — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 12:03:00 GMT

Remember I told you how hot Johnny Depp was under those fugly clothes/hair that he was sporting the other day? Well, there's no denying his hotness with that picture!

Mr Depp is currently starring in Sweeney Todd, directed by Tim Burton, which hits theaters on Christmas Day, and his next project is with director Michael Mann. Johnny Depp is hot. They'll be bringing 30's ganster John Dillinger to the big screen. Dillinger was a slick bank robber who constantly eluded J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI. And Johnny Depp is hot. I suppose I'd better stop writing, my concentration has...Johnny Depp is hot.

Jon Favreau is Money, Baby, Skinny Money

Whit Honea — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:46:00 GMT

Actor/director/other stuff guy Jon Favreau had really let himself go since the days of swinging, being money and believing that any Glenn will do. He found himself looking at 40-years-old and 300lbs., so he turned to his wife for some help.

His wife Joya is a doctor, as well as the mother to their three children: Max (6), Madelaine (4), and Brighton Rose (1). She set him on the right path and quickly dropped nearly to 205.

Now that's money, baby.

By the way, it's nice to see Ritchie is finally able to walk again. I'm guessing he was out of commission for awhile after getting that "gift" from Madge a couple of months ago. I'm not even linking to it. The memories are too painful.
