Mary Louise Parker Still Fuming Over Nude Scene in Weeds

Karl Erikson — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:04:00 GMT

The new season of Weeds begins in a few weeks, but star Mary-Louise Parker is still angry about the nude scene she did for last season's finale. She talked to MORE about that, being a single mom in the dating scene, and cosmetic surgery.

Regarding that infamous nude scene, Mary-Louise says she was okay with the sex scenes before that episode. It was the bathtub scene she had a problem with. "I didn’t think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I’m bitter," she says. "I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it."

For their part, Weeds' exec producer (Roberto Benabib), defends the scene. He claims the nudity was necessary. "We felt at that point in her life, her defenses had been so thoroughly stripped away, there was a nonchalance to the nudity that informed the scene." Um yeah, that's producer speak for, "She's got great cans."

All that isn't to say Mary-Louise doesn't love her character, playing a widowed mom who deals drugs to make ends meet. "I like it the more extreme it is," she says. "Jenji Kohan [series’ creator] has been amazing in surprising me. But I don’t like it when it’s crass and crude for humor’s sake. And I don’t like it when it’s sentimental, when she’s a sweet mother. To me, she’s not that."

Talking about dating, Mary-Louise says that there are men who are scared of the single parent thing. "I had someone ask, 'Does this mean we can't go out anytime we want?' And I said, 'Yes, that's exactly what it means. It means you come fourth, because it's my kids, my job, my family.' I don't ever want to come first to anyone. It's too much pressure."

Mary-Louise has two children: William Atticus Parker, 5, and Caroline, who she adopted a couple of years ago from Ethiopia. William's dad is actor Billy Crudup.

She's also very anti-cosmetic-surgery. She's refused Botox or plastic surgery, even though she's 44, an age which Hollywood starts balking at the "older women."

"Somebody told me that they’d read that I had all this work done and showed me a picture, and it was totally airbrushed," Mary-Louise said. "It made me so mad. I don’t like what that says to other women. I’m 44, and I look OK for 44. I’m not trying to look 34."

OK? Mary-Louise, you look far better than OK. You're gorgeous. Don't change a thing.

Mary Louise Parker Always Dreamed of Adopting

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:34:00 GMT

Mary Louise Parker, star of "Weeds," says that bringing William Atticus into her world in 2004 was a "massive" moment for her. William is 5 now and is Mary Louise's son with actor Billy Crudup. But that's not to say that it was any less amazing when she welcomed 2-year-old daughter Caroline "Ash" Aberash in 2007. She adopted Ash from Ethiopia.

Mary Louise, 44, says she dreamed of adopting a child when she was just a little girl herself. "I remember being little and asking my parents if we could adopt," she says. "I just always was attracted to the idea, and I love what it says and what it means."

"There are millions of children in this world, and I think if you have the energy and the resources, then it’s something you should really look into."

I've only seen the first season of "Weeds." I know, I don't get Showtime or HBO. Sucks. But I've always thought Mary Louise Parker was kind of hot. Now here she is in the season finale of "Weeds" - naked. Um, I'm calling DirecTV right now to get a Showtime subscription. Can't wait for it to get on DVD so I can get it through Netflix. Well, I suppose there's Bittorent.

Parker is the mother of two children: William Atticus Parker, 4, and adopted daughter Caroline from Ethiopia.

Weeds' Kevin Nealon, 54, jokes that he is "barely able to fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans" in a recent interview. Now that Gable Ness is 19 months old, he's loving life more than ever and is getting back in shape. He laughs and says that he went through sympathy pains and cravings while wife Susan Yeagley was pregnant.

Kevin's new book, "Yes, You're Pregnant, But What About Me?" is in stores now. In it the SNL alum says he has no qualms about being an older first-time father. He's actually getting more sleep now than ever, which is surprising with a new baby in the house. "We go to bed about 9 p.m. every night and we're up around 6 a.m."

Putting Gable to bed early should leave the couple more private time together, but Kevin admits, "Quite frankly, I find myself too exhausted to do anything by then and generally go to bed shortly after him."

Ah, yes, welcome to parenthood, Kevin. You wear it well.

Mary Louise Parker's Daughter to Face Lifetime of Unimaginative Comparisions to Zahara Jolie-Pitt

BadKitty — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 14:09:00 GMT

Mary Louise Parker's kids have it tough. Her son William Atticus will always be known as the baby she was carrying when that asshole Billy Crudup left her for mealy-mouthed Claire Danes.

Now she's adopted a baby girl from Africa. A baby girl...from Africa...now, where have I heard something like this before? Who else adopted a girl from Africa? That's right! The Jolie-Pitts!

Come on. That's the first thing everyone will think. Well, really the first thing they will think is, "I wonder if she's as pretty as Zahara?" Followed by, "I wonder if she's as funny as Zahara?" and so on, and so on. It's going to be rough for this little girl, name still unknown. Zahara is pretty much the cutest, sassiest, best dressed celebrity daughter, possibly ever.

The good news is that Mary Louise Parker's daughter will be well loved and cared for by her new family, which is a lot more important than anything any of us have to say.

The Brad Pitt Seal Of Approval

Mary-Louise Parker just adopted a daughter from Africa, and Brad Pitt approves. "She's a great mother," he says. "I think that (adoption) is a great idea!"

Of course he does. Adopting African children is hotter than driving a Prius or hanging with Al Gore. But I'm betting that he'd much prefer to get his own next child the traditional way. A guy can only save the world so much before he needs to get his rocks off.
