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."

P.S. Julie Bowen and Oliver

Whit Honea — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:47:00 GMT

A pregnant Julie Bowen and her son Oliver were on hand for the P.S. Arts "Express Yourself 2008" affair in Santa Monica.

I was wondering what had happened to Bowen since "Ed" and apparently she's been busy working on half the shows on television. Who knew? I need to get cable.

Gorgeous Julie Bowen, who has starred in great shows such as "Ed," "Weeds," and "Boston Legal," announced that she's pregnant again! Her rep says, "She's thrilled," and so am I. Course, not as thrilled as I'd be if I was the father, but still.

Bowen, 38, and Scott Phillips were married 4 years ago and this is their second child together. Son Oliver was born in April of 2007.

Congrats to Julie and Scott!

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 Breaks Toe During Sex Scene

Karen — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:43:00 GMT

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!"

Mary Louise Parker Breaks Up With That Guy With The 'Stache

HerBadMother — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 02:53:00 GMT

I wanted to title this post, "Mary Louise Parker Breaks Up With That Porn Guy," but I though that that was maybe too obscure. Still: that's totally a porn mustache. That's also kind of a porn suit that he's wearing (maybe not so much porn star as porn producer, but still. SHINY PINSTRIPES.)

All of which is to say that, although I'm sure that he's an awesome guy beneath that facial hair, I can't say that I'm terribly surprised that their engagement didn't last that long.

Actually, my lack of surprise has less to do with the 'stache (tho', really, how many men other than Tom Selleck can really pull that look off?) and more with the fact that these two have broken up, like, a gazillion times over the last two years and, also, are almost never seen together - not even, notably, when M-L is out and about with her kids (all those pics of her with her newly adopted baby last year? NO MUSTACHE GUY. Where was he?). So, yeah, when they announced their engagement the other month, I was underwhelmed. And now that they've announced their disengagement, I'm also underwhelmed.

So there you go: celebrity gossip delivered up with a BIG FAT YAWN and a feeble attempt to drag porn into the mix.

Mary Louise Parker and Jeffery Dean Morgan Engaged

Karen — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:02:00 GMT

Skeevy Jeffrey Dean Morgan has asked Mary Louise Parker to marry him and she has said yes.

I adore her, but he I could do without, especially after his ass-grabbing antics last year.

The on again, off again couple have not yet set a date.

Mary-Louise Parker and Weeds co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan showed up at the P.S. I Love You premiere Sunday night, arms around each other and apparently back together again after breaking up last June.

Parker looked totally hot in a short black dress and when Morgan was asked about his date, he smiled slyly and said, "What about her?"

Morgan's eyes werent exactly focused on Parker though. He later grabbed Hillary Swank's ass and then onto Gerard Butler who said, "Jeffrey Dean Morgan rubbing my ass, yeah that's about as good as it gets!"

Is it just me or does the guy sound like totally skeevy? Ick.

Weeds Gets a 4th Season, Mary-Louise Parker Says She Wouldn't Hang with Her Character

Karen — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:02:00 GMT

Showtime just approved Weeds for a 4th season and this author could not be more thrilled. I don't get Showtime but as soon as those DVD's hit the video store, I snatch them up, grab an iced coffee and watch the whole season in one evening. The show is that good.

The lead is Nancy Botwin, (played by Mary-Louise Parker), a windowed suburban mom who has turned to dealing pot to fund the lifestyle she and her kids are accustomed too. “People are always asking me if being a mother informs the role which is ridiculous,” she said. “I mean, I hope not.” She considers Nancy “pretty shallow and not all that smart, but tough”. “I wouldn’t hang out with her,” she added. “She’s very volatile. She’s like a child reacting — you get her at a wrong moment and she won’t think, ‘Oh, well, maybe I shouldn’t do that’.”

Parker recently made headlines when she adopted a daughter from Africa, who is a sister to her 3 year old son Will.
