Leah Remini's Daughter Has Own iPod & Loves Kelly Clarkson!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:06:00 GMT

Leah Remini is mom to Sophia, who will turn 5 in June, and the 38-year-old actress says her little girl loves to sing! Sophia has her own iPod and is very into Kelly Clarkson, Pink and Miley Cyrus.

Remini, who attended the Natural Resources Defense Council 20th anniversary celebration on Saturday, said of Sophia, "She just started singing very loudly. She used to really not want to be listened to or looked at, and now it's like full-on concerts. [She is] like, 'Have you heard me sing this song... and 18 songs on my iPod?"

Leah was asked if Tom and Katie's daughter Suri could join Sophia - she said sure! "Yeah, maybe one day! That would be cute. That would be adorable. I love that." She added best friend Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony should "get Emme and Max up in it!" Their twins are 14 months.

The former King of Queens star said Sophia has very particular musical tastes.

"Right now, [it's] Kelly Clarkson over and over again, and Pink's 'So What.' "She's, like, obsessed with Pink. Kelly Clarkson she's starting to get obsessed with. Miley Cyrus's 'The Climb,' Certain songs. She's like, 'I only wanna hear this song and this song, and then when I try to give her other Pink songs, like her R&B stuff, she's like, 'No, oh no!'"

Leah said she makes a great band manager for her girl: "Yeah, she's not her own iPod and I help put together her play lists. I'm working for Sophia now!"

Who are your kids into? Do they have their own iPods?

JLo Says Twins Are Like "Night & Day"

McConaughey Talks About DJing Camila's 14 Hour Labor

Josh loposer — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Like lots of trendy ladies these days, Camila loaded an iPod playlist full of tunes that she thought she'd like to hear while she was in labor with son Levi. As a supportive boyfriend and father, Matthew McConaughey got to be the DJ.

Unlike some more common playlists loaded with calming, inspirational pop tunes like Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely," Camila apparently went with a playlist full of Brazilian tribal tunes to help her through the journey -- and apparently she's pretty picky about her tribal grooves.

While Camila was the one doing all the pushing, McConaughey apparently found the task of DJing the even pretty exhausting as well:

“She was also really quick to say, ‘Skip that f–kin’ song!’ So here I was blazing through this playlist while she’s nodding her head yay or nay, and I’m like, ‘This next song better have that groove or I’m going to have to run across the bed and change it.’”

Have you guys ever created a labor playlist? If so, what songs did you put on it. I know what my #1 pick would be: "Welcome to the Jungle."

Gavin Rossdale Talks About His Needs

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:05:00 GMT

Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale have two sons, Kingston and Zuma, and Gavin is about to take Kingston on tour with him. In an interview with OK! magazine he talks about what a man wants, while on tour and in life. Surprise - it's not drugs and hookers but hot tea and running with the kids.

First off, inquiring minds want to know what the rocker stocks his tour bus with. "Well, it’s gotta have all different kinds of liquid from hot tea to cold beer and everything in between. I like when people come to visit, I don’t want them to be left wanting. Then I need some food and some movies and some books and some acoustic guitars and phone chargers, obviously."

And after the tour is over, what would be an ideal evening for Gavin and Gwen? "That would start out with some really good swimming, a game with the kids or something physical, like running, because when the kids run and laugh it makes it feel like everything in your life is worth it."

And anyone who has two kids of the same gender knows the question that comes next: Are you going to have more kids, maybe a girl? "Well, that would seem logical, but so would sleep. Sleep would be nice, and a bit of selfish time, which isn’t around the corner just yet. But, the men aren’t in control of that stuff, as you well know."

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale: The Family That Bathes Together, Stays Together

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 23:10:00 GMT

The secret to a happy family? Hop in the tub together and lather, rinse and repeat. Gavin Rossdale says that in addition to recycling and installing solar panels on his home, him and wife Gwen Stefani take baths together to save water. "All families should bathe together," Gavin told OK! magazine. "It's the least they could do!"

In a related story, nine out of ten men said they would care more about the environment if it meant they could bathe with Gwen Stefani.

Gwen Stefani and Her Boys Enjoy a Day in the Park Like Normal People

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Gwen Stefani and her sons Kingston and Zuma enjoyed a day in the park. You know, even celebrities like to get out occasionally and mix it up with the everyday people. (By the way, Kingston is the kid in the 'Packers' tank top. I don't know who the other one is - probably one of those everyday peoples I was just telling you about.)

Actually, I always thought Gwen seemed like a down-to-earth normal person. Except for the fact that she always has makeup on and is always stylishly dressed - that just doesn't seem possible for a mom of two. Or maybe I'm just jealous.

Steve Jobs Heart Attack?

Whit Honea — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:24:00 GMT

Steve Jobs is the man behind Apple and Pixar and the largest shareholder of Disney stock. He has four children. One might say he's doing okay. Others might say he had a heart attack. It depends on who you talk to.

On Friday word started spreading that Jobs, who has lost weight recently due to undisclosed nutritional problems, had suffered a heart attack and Apple stock went below $100 per share for the first time since the introduction of the iPhone.

Apple has stated that the claim is "not true" and maintains that the health of Jobs is a private matter.

The SEC is investigating the source of the rumor.

I hope they're looking in boxes of free pizza for chubby guys in tweed.

Jack "Mixed Tape" Black

Whit Honea — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Ah, the mixed tape. Nothing says who you are better than a personal playlist.

Jack Black is “pretty proud” regarding a playlist he created on his iPod. Black made it to better bond with his oldest son Samuel. Says the musical daddy, “He’s got great rhythm and loves to dance. I think I cracked the code."

Some samples from the mix include:

Dee-Lite’s “Groove Is in the Heart”

Abba’s “Dancing Queen”

Weezer’s “Surfwax America”

Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” - not to be confused with the cover by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, although it's also a good version

What? No Tenacious D?

Oasis' Liam Gallagher Ties The Knot

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 22:32:00 GMT

Liam Gallagher of the band Oasis married girlfriend Nicole Appleton in London on Valentine's Day. The two were wed in a secret ceremony that was so private even Liam's brother Noel was not in attendance.

Gallagher and Appleton, who have a son Gene, 7, were wed at Westminster Register Office, the same spot where Gallagher wed first wife Patsy Kensit in 1997.

Hey - remember Patsy Kensit? She made a huge splash when she starred in Twenty One (rent it - it's great) but then kind of dropped off the radar. Her IMDB profile has mostly TV roles for the past few years, among them a painful sounding A Bear's Christmas Tail. What happened Patsy?

Oh, Congratulations Liam and Nicole!

Scarlett Johansson Has Great Endorsements

Whit Honea — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:34:00 GMT

There are two things that I've always loved about Scarlett Johansson. No, that's not me in the picture.

Now I have a third item to add to the list.

"My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes."

Of course she was joking while dodging a question about her rumored engagement to Ryan Reynolds.

FYI, Obama is a happily married man. Still, that's got to feel good on the ego.

I think she could give Bruni a run for the title.

Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Barack Obama

Whit Honea — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:32:00 GMT

Our next president, Mr. Barack Obama, was on Letterman the other night. If you're one of those voters that have been straddling the fence between Obama and the status quo then you are in luck. Here are the top ten campaign promises by the candidate. How could you not get behind this?

10. To keep the budget balanced, I’ll rent the "situation room" for sweet sixteens.

9. I will double your tax money at the craps table.

8. Appoint Mitt Romney secretary of lookin’ good.

7. If you bring a gator to the White House, I’ll wrassle it.

6. I’ll put Regis on the nickel.

5. I’ll rename the tenth month of the year “Barack-tober.”

4. I won’t let Apple release the new and improved Ipod the day after you bought the previous model.

3. I’ll find money in the budget to buy Letterman a decent hairpiece.

2. Pronounce the word nuclear, nuclear.

1. Three words: Vice President Oprah.

That, my friends, is inspirational. Get out and vote.

Britney Is SLIGHTLY Crazy

Sassy Smith — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:04:00 GMT

Remember when Britney's cousin Alli Sims defended her and said "Britney is not crazy?" I'm going to go out on a limb and beg to differ.

VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP!

Spears was out and about on the weekend, seemingly free of her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, because she allegedly slapped him with a restraining order that he apparently knows nothing about. Still with me?

Brit was at Millenium dance studios (dancing I'm assuming), working on moves for her new video "Hot As Ice." As she's sitting in her car, either before or after her rehearsal, a homeless man asks her for help and she says, "You would rather be homeless than be me, sir." Homeless dude responds with, "Let them see you do something good for once." Oh snap! Of course Britney is talking in her fake British accent. My favourite part of the whole exchange between her and the paps, is when someone asks her what part of England she's from. The split second look on Brit's face is quite priceless.

Overall the whole video is bizarre and Britney also claims she doesn't know who Adnan is when asked about him. The scary part - she's almost believable when she says that, like she actually has no idea who he is. Very, very odd indeed.

Lily Allen Suffers Miscarriage

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 02:20:00 GMT

British singer Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage, her rep has confirmed. Allen was expecting her first child with Ed Simons, a member of the band Chemical Brothers.

The singer's publicist told British newspaper The Sun today, "We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time."

A source added, "The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are absolutely heartbroken. Lily’s entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. She was looking forward to being a mum and starting a family with Ed. She had turned her back on her party girl image and had turned over a new leaf."

He's Mighty Mighty*: Lionel Richie is a Proud Grandpa

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:45:00 GMT

*For all you young whippersnappers, that's a reference from Brick House, a song Lionel Richie did with The Commodores. Now, back to this century.

Lionel Richie, whose daughter Nicole Richie just gave birth to her first child, says he's still getting used to being called Grandpa. "While it may take me a moment to adjust to being called grand dad, I am extremely happy and proud of Nicole and Joel."

Nicole and Joel Madden welcomed daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden on Friday.

I can't believe Lionel Richie's a grandfather, since Brick House is my favorite dance song of all time. You know, back before electricity was invented and I played it on my hand-cranked record player.

Here Comes The Son: Stella McCartney Welcomes Her Third Child

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Seems like giving birth surpassed going to rehab as the No. 1 celebrity activity last week: Fashion designer Stella McCartney welcomed her third child on Tuesday, a son, Beckett Robert Lee. Beckett, whose father is Alasdhair Willis, joins brother Miller, 3, and sister Bailey, 1.

Stella McCartney is most famously known as Paul McCartney's daughter, and loving, former step-daughter to Paul's ex, Heather Mills.

Jamie Lynn Spears Says Gimme More Juno

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:05:00 GMT

What's on Jamie Lynn Spears' iPod? Oddly enough, songs about a pregnant 16-year old. No, they aren't tunes that baby daddy Casey Aldridge plays on his kazoo, but the soundtrack from the hot movie Juno which is about - you guessed it - a pregnant 16-year old. Not that there's anything unusual about that.

An insider tells PageSix, "She loves it and it's helping her through her difficult time."

Well, that's probably better than listening to big sister Britney's Blackout - I'm thinking that Jamie Lynn playing the single Piece of Me for Casey is what what got her into trouble in the first place.

Britney Spears Almost Misses Deposition, Is An Idiot

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 23:35:00 GMT

All those in favor of Britney Spears losing custody of her kids raise your hands. Wow - that's 7,324,980 more than bought Blackout.

Spears was given one final chance today to redeem herself in her custody battle with Kevin Federline, after blowing off a court-ordered deposition yesterday. And what does she do? Shows up 90-minutes late, strutting into the office of Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed's lawyer, wearing a fuschia halter dress and Christian Louboutin heels. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but when the book is an arrogant poptart acting like an disrespectful imbecile I say she's fair game.

Apparently no deposing took place, as Kaplan called a press conference earlier today to say that the deposition had been postponed. That should give Britney some time to figure out another way to shoot herself in the (Louboutin-clad) foot.

Liam Gallagher, I Want You for Our PTA

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:05:00 GMT

In case you're feeling smug just because you made a platter of brownies for the school bake sale: Liam Gallagher, frontman for the band Oasis, finds time in his busy schedule to teach music at the school where son Gene, 6, is a student. “Liam’s spending loads of time in the school. He does the school run and often pops in and teaches the kids some music skills...He’s often in the music room playing on the instruments with the kids."

“Some of the kids are a bit too young to really understand who he is. He’s just another dad to a lot of them - they don’t know how lucky they are. He’s spending more time in the classroom now than he did as a kid.

This gives me an idea. The guy from Jackass is a parent at my daughter's school. Maybe he can pop in and teach the kids how to skateboard off the garage, or set their underwear on fire.

VIDEO: Britney Spears' "Piece of Me"

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:05:00 GMT

The question is, which piece would you like? The theme of Britney Spears' new video is reportedly her torment by paparazzi, but this 20-second clip mostly shows a bunch of blonde chicks cavorting in front of a mirror, interspersed with a few seconds of another blonde chic lip-synching. In other words, just like every other video in rotation on MTV!

Britney Spears Caught Shoplifting

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:09:00 GMT

It's understandable - when you're only making $737,000 a month, a $1.39 impulse buy could really put a strain on a girl's budget. So I can see why Britney Spears stole a lighter off a gas station counter. And so what if cuts into the profit of the station owner, who's probably working two jobs and supporting her family of seven on minimum wage? It's Britney, bitches!

Search Me Baby One More Time: Britney Spears is Yahoo's Top Search Term for 2007

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:30:00 GMT

Apparently Child Services isn't the only one searching for Britney. Yahoo has deemed Britney Spears the top search term for 2007. And I thought it would be "naked porn boobs."

Paris Hilton came in third, edged out of the number two spot by World Wrestling Entertainment which garnered a great deal of interest due to the tragic story of Chris Benoit. The popular Japanese manga cartoon Naruto came in fourth (my two kids were responsible for 99% of those hits) and was more bootylicious than Beyoncé, who came in fifth. And who says repeat DUIs and a stint in rehab are a bad thing - they were enough to put Lindsay Lohan in sixth place, up from her 10th place slot last year.

Two losers this year: Pamela Anderson and Jessica Simpson, two previously popular terms that dropped off the list. Come on girls - run over some paparazzi and get yourself into rehab so you can get your places back in 2008.

Britney Spears Wants A Piece Of You--Yes You!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 16:01:00 GMT

Britney Spears wants you, her ~~twelve~~ fans to help her shoot her next music video. Spears has shot her video for her newly released single, Piece of Me, but thinks that her fans (the paparazzi?) may do better. Very probable.

Britney is teaming with MTV for a contest, titled "Britney Spears Wants a Piece of You." On Monday, MTV will have footage from it's archives available to the public-interviews, red-carpet appearances and performances. Fans (again with that word) will be able to remix the archived video/photos into their own version of Piece of Me, which can be up to 3:34 mintues in length.

Submissions must be in by December 14th. Jive Records and Spears herself, will choose a winner, which will air on TRL on December 20th. Mark your calendars people!

Call 911: Amy Winehouse Allowed To Cast Influence Over Young Mind

What would you say if your daughter wanted to emulate a boozing, coke-snorting, eyeliner-abusing rehab-dropout? Apparently this girl's mom said, "Honey, hand me the Aqua Net - your hive ain't high enough."

Train wreck Amy Winehouse is seen here after a concert in Liverpool, England with a young fan whose mother obviously has trouble saying no, no, no to her little Winewreck. And where were these two off to after the concert? The bar for tequila shooters, a back alley to score some blow and a nice visit with Amy's husband who is being held in prison without bail? Who says rock stars don't make great mentors!

Trashy Britney Spears

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:05:00 GMT

According to Life & Style, Spears is facing yet another lawsuit for reportedly trashing a condo in Marina Del Rey. My head is literally spinning from all the drama.

The owner of the condominium, Amir E. Zagross is threatening to sue the poptart unless she coughs up some dough for the damage that she and her family caused. The condo is worth an estimated $1.5 million.

He says, “I met Britney at the condo myself with her mother, brother, sons and her bodyguards. They assured me they were immaculate, nice people who would take care of the property. But the damage was significant.” Ya, but doesn't he know who Britney is? Has he been living under a rock? Dude, it's Britney Spears! She's not known for being "immaculate". That's not the word that comes to mind when I think of her.

Britster's big bro' Bryan, 30, may be more to blame than his trainwreck sister, 26. Wow, who knew she came from a family of trashiness?

A source said, “The whole family would come in and out of the place, but Bryan was the most constant."

Apparently there is damage to the walls, flooring, balcony, doors, electrical outlets and air conditioning, claims Zagross, who said, “We couldn’t re-rent the condo because of the state it was in." Shocking eh? I mean Britney is usually so classy. Ah, you caught me, I did not type that last sentence with a straight face.

Gene Simmons Dead? Almost - He's on Trump's New Celebrity Apprentice

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 22:15:00 GMT

With rumors swirling that he had died, Gene Simmons missed his chance to garner some sympathy. Instead, he surfaced today on the lackluster list of celebrities willing to be humiliated by toupee-king Donald Trump on The Celebrity Apprentice. Looks like Simmons won't be rock and rolling all night and partying every day.

The show had boasted for months about the "stellar talent" it was assembling for the celebrity version of The Apprentice, but by the looks of this list one wonders if we mistook "stellar" for "in the cellar." Joining KISS musician Simmons are country singer Trace Adkins, former model Carol Alt, former Taxi star Marilu Henner, former Olympic medalist Nadia Comaneci and former heavyweight boxing champ Lennox Lewis. And those are the recognizable names.

Since rumors of the notoriously self-promoting Simmons' death came less than 48 hours before the show's announcement, I think we all know who started it. You're fired!
