Oh, TV (and other outlets), how you mock us so, what with the clean houses and the family talks and the ugly sweaters. Yes, folks, we're talking about fake parents and the influence that their special brand of fiction has upon us.

Here are 25 examples for your perusal.

Find out what's in the cards for some of the cutest celebrity babies! Will they be famous like their parents? Or will they take a different path? Astrologer Michele Knight gives a hint of what's in store for these adorable children.

From Us:

Max and Emme Anthony, twins of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, born February 22, 2008 - Pisces:

"They'll want to go into music and film. They'll communicate and work well together. They'll help each other and be creative collaborators."

Zahara & Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, daughters of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, born January 8, 2005, and May 27, 2005 respectively. Zahara is a Capricorn and Shiloh, a Gemini:

Shiloh will become a writer or psychologist. "She'll be impulsive in love and leap into relationships spontaneously." Zahara will be a free willed spirt like her mama. "She'll do something with humanitarian interests. She won't consider one country her home."

Suri Cruise, 2, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, an Aries, born April 19, 2006. "She'll be a bit of a wild child," says Knight. "She's going to be a bit rebellious and attached to the most unsuitable and outrageous characters. It will take her a long time to settle down.

"Suri finds dad [Tom Cruise] more sensitive and emotional [than mom Katie Holmes]."

Matilda Ledger, daughter of Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger, born October 28, 2005, Scorpio. She "will have a man in her life that becomes like a father figure to her, which is exactly what she needs. She feels she has to be perfect and needs to understand she's lovable for who she is."

Max Liron Bratman, baby boy of Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman, arrived on January 12, 2008. He's a Capricorn. Little Max will follow the paths of his parents. "He's very connected to music. It'll be difficult for him to have a structured job. He's very creative and interested in spirituality."

Coco Arquette, is a Gemini born June 13, 2004 to actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette. "She is very accepting of everybody and will make a brilliant writer or teacher. Coco will never rebel against her parents because she adores them and they are the most important thing to her. She has an especially loyal fantastic relationship with her mom."

Ryder Russell Robinson, born January 7, 2004, Capricorn. Parents are Kate Hudson and ex-husband Chris Robinson. Knight says that Ryder is a "sporty daredevil." Knight says, "He'll just look at a girl and know what she's feeling. He loves independent women and he's sensitive." He'll always be close to mom, "They're soul mates. He has a cosmic bond with her."

Sam Sheen, 4, daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, born March 9, 2004, is Pisces. Sam "will always adore her dad. He is the love of her life and they have a cosmic relationship. She is also quite psychic and good predicting." Sam "won't want to be in the public eye. She might own a shop."

Harlow Winter Madden, born January 11, 2008, Capricorn, parents are Nicole Richie & Joel Madden. "Harlow has a lot of creative potential but she lacks motivation. She could decide to do one creative job, then change her mind and go in the opposite way." Who will Harlow date? "Possibly someone foreign from a different background."

Sean Preston Spears-Federline, son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, born September 14, 2005, is a Virgo. "[Kevin Federline] is his stability, but he will completely accept [Britney Spears] and admire her for who she is without judging her." Sean "has the chart of somebody who will be good at making money in banking or investments" but "he'll always be drawn to troubled women!"

Top Five Celebrity Pregnancy Denials

Sassy Smith — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:32:00 GMT

A lot of celebrities try to hide the fact that they are pregnant. However, no matter how hard they try, they don't often succeed in fooling the public, especially people like me, who, see a tiny bit of bloat and then decide that they must be with child. I think that's perhaps how rumors get started. Ah, but that's half the fun right - seeing if that bump is indeed a baby growing or just one too many In-And-Out Burgers? But then we have the celebrities who really are pregnant but for whatever reason (I guess, technically it's none of our damn business) don't want to make an announcement early on or even at all, still trying their best to fool us. Oh, but you can't, we are much too crafty! Here are my Top Five Celebrity Pregnancy Denials:

5. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt - They didn't necessarily deny being pregnant for the second time (we later found out they were expecting twins, thanks to Jack Black of all people), but they certainly didn't make any announcements. They knew, I'm guessing, early on they were having twins, and of course a pregnancy with multiples can often have complications, particularly early into the pregnancy. Angie and Brad probably just wanted to wait until they knew everything was okay before they said anything - except they didn't exactly say anything. They attended the Independent Spirit Awards in February of this year, and Angelina was wearing a black, very clingy dress, which left nothing to the imagination. It was a "visible" announcement if you will. As in, 'hey bitches, I'm carrying another spawn of my very hot boyfriend, Brad Pitt.' At least that's the way I read it. They brought their twins into the world on July 12 - Knox and Vivienne join Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2. Oh, and they want more kids. Of course!

4. Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban - Rumors were a buzzin' on the world wide web that the pretty Aussie actress and her hunky country star husband, Keith were pregnant with their first child together. But, soon, came the denials. Nope Nicole isn't pregnant. Not true, not true, not true. We here at Famecrawler didn't believe it and well, we were right. Nicole's rep confirmed her pregnancy just one week later. See? You aren't getting anything by us! We are too detective like. They've since welcomed daughter Sunday Rose, now three weeks old. She joins older siblings Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, (dad is Tom Cruise).

3. Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony - The popstar couple are first time parents to twins, Max and Emme, now 5-months-old and they denied their pregnancy until Jennifer's 5th month - and it may not have been their intention to make any announcements at that time but it was becoming much harder to find clothes that would hide her growing bump and when, at a concert, her shirt blew up, exposing her pregnant belly, well it's kinda, sorta, difficult to deny it at that point. Might as well go with the flow. JLo spilled her secret (uh, not so secret, secret) at the American Airlines Arena concert and the crowd went wild. She said, "Marc and I are expecting," and then Marc bent down and kissed her belly. Sweet. Again, weren't fooling anyone!

2. Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale - This sexy rockin' musically inclined couple are due any day with their second (rumored to be a boy) child and they too did their fair share of denying the pregnancy rumors floating around. Once again, and I know I sound like a broken record, but we were right. Gwen did her best to fend off the 'with child' rumors, but it didn't work. No matter how hard she protested, she wasn't convincing. Gwen announced less than 2 weeks later, near the end of January 2008, that she was 13 weeks preggo. Don't these celebrity folks ever learn? We can sniff out those baby bumps, even in the very beginning! Yes, we are that good.

1. Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz - These two couldn't decide whether they wanted to confirm or deny - so they did both, several times. Pete had said, after the first round of pregnancy rumors started, “There is a witch hunt for people to be pregnant whenever they get engaged in Hollywood. This is all news to me.” Soon after he sort of confirmed it, yet Ashlee was denying it. They could have tattooed the denials on their backs or Pete could have written it in black eyeliner on a billboard, but we still knew they were expecting a visit from the stork. And oh snap! we got it right. Ashlee and Pete soon got on the same page and then told the world, what the world already knew - yes, they're pregnant with their first child. The pair tied the knot in May and are rumored to be having a girl and a C-section.

Now, we just have to wait for a few more celebrities to make their announcements - Paris Hilton? Eva Longoria? Victoria Beckham? Katie Holmes?

Victoria's Secret 'What Is Sexy' List Features People That I Don't Even Know

HerBadMother — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:23:00 GMT

Which means, obviously, that I am waaaay out of the loop on what is sexy. But I suppose that that's no surprise.

Sexiest Dad is Justin Chambers, and I have to admit - being the only thirty-something woman in the Northern Hemisphere who does not watch Grey's Anatomy - that I had no idea who he was. I was all 'Justin who???' and then I had to Google him and read his bio on Wikipedia (he has, like, five kids, apparently. Boy's been busy.) Which, fine, I'm happy to read up on sexy men - and he is sexy - but seriously, Victoria's Secret - could you not find a hot dad who was a little less marginal? I mean, Patrick Dempsey was available, if you were keeping the pool narrowed to Grey's stars. And if you looked beyond that show, you could have found - I don't know -Clive Owen or Brad Pitt or David Beckham.

Speaking of which...

Do we really, seriously, believe that Victoria Beckham is the sexiest mom out there, as Vic's Secret seems to think? Just on tits alone, Salma Hayek's got her beat.

The list:

Sexiest Male Athlete: Tony Romo (not Tom Brady? *snicker*)
Sexiest Couple: Fergie and Josh Duhamel
Sexiest Style: Scarlett Johansson
Sexiest Smile: Ryan Seacrest
Sexiest Eyes: Kate Bosworth
Sexiest Legs: Ali Larter
Sexiest Mom: Victoria Beckham
Sexiest Dad: Justin Chambers
Sexiest Funnyman: Dane Cook
Sexiest Beach Body: Josh Holloway
Sexiest Lips: Jessica Biel
Sexiest Actress: Eva Mendes
Sexiest Actor: Eric Bana
Sexiest Female Musician: Rihanna
Sexiest Male Musician: Chris Brown
Sexiest Cast: Dirty Sexy Money
Sexiest Newcomer: Blake Lively
Sexiest Newlyweds: Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelly

To Hell With The 'Sexy' Lists: Who's A Good Celebrity Mom?

HerBadMother — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:23:00 GMT

I have an idea for a new list. It will be an antidote to all of the superficial and misogynistic lists that currently get all of the press, and it will make everyone feel better. Cookie Magazine or whomever could publish it, and we could all debate who should be on it: Loveliest Celebrity Moms Ever.

Christy Turlington, who is featured in this month's Cookie, would certainly have to be on it, because a) she is jaw-droppingly gorgeous in the most unaffected and unenhanced way, and b) she radiates good-heartedness and save-the-worldishness and makes me want to do yoga, maybe, if I could ever get off my ass. Also, she invented the world's best yoga-wear, which - quite apart from good for yoga, which I wouldn't know - is the very best garb for post-partum bodies and bodies that can't be bothered to iron stuff when they're exhausted from caring for babies.

I would also put Jennifer Garner on that list, because every picture ever taken of her and her daughter is the very image of motherly love and childish joy and also have you seen her dimples? (That I have a massive girl-crush on her and want her to join my Mommy-and-Me group has not biased me in any way on this issue.) Who else? Angelina, maybe, for adopting all of those children and very possibly saving their lives - recent controversies over the terms of those adoptions don't change the fact that she is making a home for children who would otherwise likely not have any - though she looks like she would cut you if you ever dared criticize her, which isn't a lovely characteristic, but I'll reserve judgment on that. Maggie Gyllenhaal, for breastfeeding publicly, and for being unremittingly cool. Jamie Lee Curtis, for remaining insistently consistent in promoting healthy body image for girls. Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster, for putting family life before their own celebrity. Salma Hayek, for being breathtaking (superficial, I know, but still.) Sarah Jessica Parker, because she proves that sexiness isn't the be-all and end-all of loveliness, in motherhood or in womanhood generally. I could on and on.

I would prefer that it not be a ranked list, because true loveliness defies ranking, but I'd understand if some sales-minded editor insisted upon such ranking. It would have to be a celebrity-specific list, otherwise it would be nearly infinite (the stock of motherly loveliness in the world being itself almost infinite), and - however sadly - not particularly newsworthy. Obviously, there'd be some notable exclusions - Britney, of course, and likely Posh (just not lovely, in my books. She snarls), among a great many others - which is not to say that those women are excluded from the possibility of loveliness as mothers, just that, at present time, they seem to have other, less-lovely concerns. There would, however, not be an 'Unlovely Moms' list, because unecessary meanness is just not lovely.

I'm not quite certain of how I'm defining 'lovely' here; I just think that I know it when I see it (and in any case, who knows how to define 'sexy' or 'hot', either? Or 'unsexy' for that matter?) And that it's a more precious commodity that 'sexiness' or 'hotness' or whatever. And that we should celebrate it. For a change.

Who would you put on the list? Who would you exclude?
