Trust Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi With Your Children

Whit Honea — Fri, 15 May 2009 19:11:00 GMT

According to a poll on ParentDish.com of 10,000 moms (sorry dads, nobody cares what you think- still) Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi are the top pick for celebrity babysitters.

The fact that the couple does not have children of their own didn't deter moms from feeling comfortable with their child-rearing potential. They received 31% of the votes followed by another star sans child, Jennifer Aniston, who received 22%. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came in third with 18% and Oprah finished with just 9%. However, and this is just my opinion, I think Oprah is more likely to buy everyone involved a car, so there's that.

What do you think about these results? What celebrity would you consider leaving your child with (not forever, Madonna- sorry)?

Jill Hennessy - I Can't Relate To You

trix — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

How much time did you take off for your maternity leave? I took off 2 weeks before and then 10 weeks after my second baby was born. I could have stayed home forever.

Jill Hennessy says that a short maternity leave was best for her. She started filming Lymelife when her son Gianni was 11 weeks old. She said she couldn't pass up the opportunity to play the part of this woman.

Isn't that about the time you go back to work anyway?

She said, “I recognized this character. Everyone feels like, if I were a better wife or woman, my husband would love me, my kids would love me more. She comes full circle and makes a very bold choice.”

“I think it helped me get through that time, in retrospect. It got me outside, stopped me from focusing on the sheer lack of sleep and the daunting situation of having two kids. It forced me to delegate. I highly recommend it.”

I can't relate, my job made me more exhausted than I already was. It made me hate and resent my employer. Thank goodness I quit that job or I'd be more bitter than I already am.

Did you want to jump back into work or did it break your heart to leave your baby at home?

In the Motherhood to be Live Blogged at Strollerderby

Whit Honea — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:32:00 GMT

You may have noticed that there is a new show on ABC called "In the Motherhood." It's a show that takes actual stories from actual people and turns them into actual shows. No word on whether the owner of said story gets any actual money.

That said, while I'm watching basketball and TiVoing "30 Rock" our friends at Strollerderby will be live blogging the premiere. Yes, live blogging.

Live it live, tonight at 8pm (I assume they're doing this ET, but maybe for all time zones? Ask them) on Strollerderby!

The Hottest Moms - Photos

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 17:03:00 GMT

An online poll by MSN.com.UK ranked the "yummiest mummies," all 8 of them, according to the Brits, and their list may surprise you.

Well, maybe not, but only eight? What gives?

1. Angelina Jolie (Photo/Photo)

2. Tie (? and of course ! )- Halle Berry (Photo) and Reese Witherspoon (Photo)

4. Kate Winslet (Photo)

5. Jennifer Garner (Photo)

6. Katie Holmes (Photo)

7. Gwyneth Paltrow (Photo)

8. Cate Blanchett (Photo)

So what do you think? Obviously there should be a lot more moms on this list- at least two for a top 10. Top 8 would drive Adrian Monk crazy.

Who would you add?

Julianne Moore: Red Delicious On Redbook

Sassy Smith — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 15:06:00 GMT

The always beautiful actress Julianne Moore, 48, graces the cover of Redbook's February issue, and she talks about family, being a working mom and her charity involvement with Save the Children.

One more pic after the jump!

Here are a few highlights from the interview:

How she balances work and motherhood:

"I try to work in the summer, or shoot in New York City. I'll try to come back every weekend, or schedule around school breaks. No one likes it, but you're trying to make a living. People say, 'Then don't do it,' but I do have a career. Every woman I know strives for flexibility, and I fortunately have a tremendous amount of it."

Who's more strict - Julianne or husband writer-director Bart Freundlich?

"We both are. But I think moms and dads get angrier at different things. When I talk to other mothers, they say that sometimes dads get mad at things that kids can't help. If a kid is having a tantrum, dads will be, 'Stop that right now.' Moms will be like, 'He's out of control. You can't discipline; you have to find a way to contain it.' Whereas moms get angry if someone breaks a rule. The rule is: Don't wipe dirty hands on the wall, and dads will say, 'What's the big deal?'"

How has becoming a mother changed her?

"You do learn a tremendous amount of patience. Children's pace is glacial, and you can't change that. Literally, just walking down the street with them, I thought I was going to tear my hair out, but that's where they are. It's not difficult to take care of a child; it's difficult to do anything else while taking care of a child. Trying to clean up the kitchen after you've had a baby is a nightmare. You have to wait for the baby to be asleep, you're exhausted, you don't want to clean up the kitchen now. My kids still don't like me to read the newspaper in the morning. I'll be making their breakfast, and I'll have The New York Times there and want to read it, and they'll be like, 'Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.'"

About her daughter Liv, 6:

"She's incredible, so smart. She's in first grade. I have these pictures of her at kindergarten, I'm sitting on a chair and she's sitting on my lap and I'm talking in her ear and she looks so worried. Kindergarten is the hardest for me — that's the year I cry. I walk out of that classroom and I burst into tears. They're entering the school world."

On 11-year-old son Caleb's braces & his birthday trip to Paris:

"My son had to go to the orthodontist to have his braces off yesterday. We celebrated by chewing gum." And about his birthday:

"Two months ago, apropos of nothing, my son said, 'Mommy, for our birthdays, instead of a party, let's go to Paris, just the two of us.' This is probably the last time in his life Cal will want to go somewhere alone with his mother. I was flattered and thrilled."

On her charity work with Save the Children:

"A friend of mine is their artist-ambassador person. She gets people involved. I didn't realize Save the Children had a U.S. program; it reaches communities through the public school system with after-school programs in nutrition, exercise, literacy. We moved a lot when I was little because my dad was in the military, and I went to one public school after another. I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska; Fayetteville, South Carolina; Juneau, Alaska; Falls Church, Virginia. In Juneau — I've told this story many times; it was a formative experience for me — there was a girl in my class. She looked different, very small for her age, very thin, eyes very wide; there was something wrong but no one knew what. I now realize she had fetal alcohol syndrome. It makes me want to cry. I look at our public school system and think there's so much we can do to pick up the slack. So now I'm Save the Children's U.S. ambassador."

She also spent some time in the Lego room (who didn't?) and apparently asked for two packs of take hom Legos, “one for a four year old, and one for a 35 year old. Christian is a huge fan and will play with these all day.“

Do you think he plays with the Batman Legos? I like to think that he does.

Tim Allen is a Boob Man

Whit Honea — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:46:00 GMT

Hey, who isn't?

When we last saw Tim Allen and his pregnant wife Jane they were trying on some RuffleButts. After that they were in the Boob suite. No, they were not at a strip club, they were at the Boom Boom Room... which is not a strip club.

Sounds like it though, doesn't it?

Here, this will clean this post up. They also stopped by L'ovedbaby.

Joely Fisher and the Boom Boom Room

If the Boom Boom Room was a golf course then Joely Fisher would have been in my foursome. It seemed like the two of us, our children, Heather Christie, and Kenny Johnson (with his lovely, pregnant wife), were always in the same area. That's a big foursome.

Joely Fisher was great. She posed for pictures with the vendors and made small-talk with my boys. It's like she didn't even care that I was famous, which was really refreshing.

Fisher, Christie and Johnson were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

What's a party without expecting parents Tim Allen and wife Jane Hajduk pretending to try on little girl frillies (RuffleButts)?

The happy couple were among the many celebrities that attended the Boom Boom Room’s Children’s Gifting Wonderland in Century City, CA this past weekend.

It was hosted by "Glamour Guru Jayneoni Moore and presented by Born Free and Baskin Robbins."

I took my boys. It was a lot of fun and they got some sweet capes (among other things).

It's always nice to see Hollywood turn out for a cause.

New Halle Berry Topless Pics

Sassy Smith — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Halle Berry is currently filming in Vancouver - her new movie Frankie and Alice - and I'm not exactly sure why she has no shirt or bra on, but I'm guessing the guys won't mind!

Photos after the jump!

The last time we saw Halle, she was on set but dressed in sweats - this is quite a switch. I suppose though, doing topless has it's advantages. If baby Nahla is on set and she's still breastfeeding, no need to fuss with buttons, velcro, zippers or feeding bra flaps! No wait time for baby!

I don't think I could do that - walk around naked in front of people. A lot of people. I guess actors are a different breed. But isn't it kind of reassuring that, although she looks great, don't get me wrong - but isn't it kinda refreshing that now that she's a mom, her belly isn't quite as toned as it once was? Makes some celebrity moms seem more like regular moms which, technically they are, they just have a very high-profile job.

And I wonder (since I'm thinking out loud), if Halle's mom watches her movies? Probably - but it must be weird for a mother to see her daughter (sure, she's grown) do nude scenes. Of course her mother has seen her naked, since uh, she gave birth to her, bathed her and probably bought her first bra, but still, kinda weird especially if there's a sex scene involved. Or maybe I'm just weird....and you probably want to see the nude stuff and want me to shut it already.

To see the full-on nakedness, I'm going to direct you here (obviously NSFW).

Halle Berry Hot In Sweats

Sassy Smith — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:05:00 GMT

No rest for working mom Halle Berry as she was spotted on the Vancouver movie set of Frankie and Alice Thursday afternoon. Berry was filming scenes with co-star Stellan Skarsgard in a beautiful floral garden. Speaking of beautiful - who else could look that pretty with no makeup on and wearing sweats?

More pics after the jump!

The flick also stars Chandra Wilson and Phylicia Rashad. The movie is a drama "centered on a young woman with multiple personality disorder who struggles to remain her true self and not give in to her racist alter-personality."

Halle and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry will celebrate their baby Nahla's first Christmas this year. Nahla is now 8-months-old.

GQ For Men: Monica Bellucci Topless

Sassy Smith — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:38:00 GMT

Actress and fashion model Monica Bellucci graces the cover of Italian edition of GQ men's magazine (November issue) and she's not wearing anything from the waist up (new fashion trend?). It's not the first time the Italian beauty showed some skin in a magazine. She posed nude for Italian Vanity Fair in protest against Italian laws that prevent the use of sperm donors. She was pregnant with her daughter at the time.

More pics after the jump!

Bellucci will be seen in the movie The Private Lives of Pippa Lee in 2009. The movie was directed by Rebecca Miller and co-stars Keanu Reeves.

Monica recently celebrated her 44th birthday and I must say, she looks pretty darn good. Bellucci is married to fellow actor Vincent Cassel and they have a four-year-old girl, Deva.

Heidi Klum's Halloween Costume Offends Hindus

Sassy Smith — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Oops. Heidi Klum went all out for her annual Halloween party and she dressed as Hindu Goddess Kali and while most people thought her costume was fantastic, some did not. In fact, the supermodel offended several Hindu-American leaders.

Contact Music is reporting that some Hindu scholars want the Project Runway host to apologize for posing as the sacred figure.

Rajan Zed, Indo-American statesman said, "Goddess Kali is highly revered in Hinduism and she is meant to be worshipped in temples and not to be used in clubs for publicity stunts or thrown around loosely for dramatic effects. Hindus welcome Hollywood and other entertainment industries to immerse themselves in Hinduism but they should take it seriously and respectfully, and not just use the religion for decoration or to advance their selfish agenda. Casual flirting sometimes results in pillaging serious spirtual doctrines and revered symbols and hurting the devotees."

Jawahar L. Khurana of the Hindu Alliance of India and Bhavna Shinde of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti have said that Heidi's costume is "denigrating."

I don't think Heidi's intention was to offend anyone and although I don't want to be disrepectful to those who worship Hinduism, but perhaps they've taken things too seriously, saying her costume was "denigrating."

Halle Berry Wants To Be Naked Like Kate Winslet

Sassy Smith — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:39:00 GMT

Halle Berry and Kate Winslet - both beautiful women, actresses,moms and both seem very comfortable with their bodies. However, Halle Berry would like to spend the day in another actress' skin - namely Kate's. Why? Because Berry loves her on-screen confidence.

Halle Berry was just named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive but yet she would like to be "free" like Kate Winslet. Berry said, "Kate Winslet is always naked, sitting on a toilet, running buck-naked. She's free. I want to be the kind of actress who can really be comfortable with my body like that."

I'm confused. Sure, Kate is gorgeous but it's not like Halle Berry is chopped liver. She seems pretty confident to me, but maybe she's shy on camera?
