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."

Fiona Phillips Chooses Her Family Over Her Job

trix — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:16:00 GMT

Fiona Phillips is the main presenter of GMTV's early morning program. She has decided, like Katie Couric, to quit her day job.

She has had to get up early for 12 years to do her broadcasting bit, and she's throwing in the towel. She cites her kids, who are 9 and 6, as well as her father, who is ailing, as 2 of the reasons that she has made this decision.

It is said that she's not leaving TV all together, so you'll still be able to catch her wherever she goes.

Fiona will be leaving in the middle of her contract, but surely just getting to sleep past 6:30am will be worth it. I wonder if, like Katie Couric, she had to get up at 3:30 or 4am? YUCK!!

I say 6:30 because that's what time I have to get up to get the oldest to school, and he's only in kindergarten, and I wish I could sleep past 6:30am.

Julianne Moore - Forty Seven & Hot

Sassy Smith — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:06:00 GMT

Actress Julianne Moore is 47 - she'll turn 48 in just 4 months - and um, she's still hot! The married mom of two, recently did photos for Wonderland Magazine and although she's clearly beautiful, her husband thinks she's weird....why?

More hotness after the jump!

Julianne's husband, Bart Freundlich thinks she's odd because of the dark roles she often chooses.

"He thinks I'm weird. There was a script I read recently where I was like, 'Ooh this horrible thing happens and it's really good because they're all dead!' He's like, 'What is the matter with you?'"

Moore plays 1920s socialite, Barbara Baekeland in her latest movie called Savage Grace, and gets pretty raunchy with her on-screen son.

Julianne says, "People ask all the time if sex scenes and nudity are hard. What's hard? Not the lines or the physicality but the emotion."

Julianne Moore Hot Video

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Hot, redheaded mom and actress Julianne Moore was recently on David Letterman and somehow the subject of oral sex came up. I'm not sure who started it, but what happened next could prove to be very embarrassing or very funny - or both.

Video after the jump!

Julianne was telling David that she's already had the sex talk with her son Caleb, and explained that he could ask her any question pertaining to sex or to any word. Caleb said to his mom, "Really Mommy, any word?" Julianne thought, "Don't let it be fellatio."

Of course David Letterman, being David Letterman, could not let that one pass by. He asks, Well, what does that mean?" Moore, being quick on the wit, answers, "Ask your mother!"

Ha. Enjoy the video!

Nancy Grace Back To Work

HerBadMother — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:32:00 GMT

CNN must not offer much in the way of maternity leave. That, or Nancy Grace just doesn't like staying home with her babies: she's reportedly going back to work just two months after giving birth prematurely.

According to the CNN Headline News show page, Nancy returns to her anchor seat on January 7. She gave birth to the twins on November 4th of this year, but they were kept in hospital until just two weeks ago.

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest Nancy Grace fan, so it should come as no surprise that I'm tempted to go all snarky on her decision to return to work after only a few weeks of being home with her babies. That said, I usually totally support a woman's decision to return to work after having children, whenever she sees fit. But so soon? When her babies are, like, only just home from the hospital? She's going to shove them in the arms of the nannies already? Family values much, Nancy?

Christina Aguilera Plans On Being A Working Mom

Sassy Smith — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:04:00 GMT

Aguilera, who is married to music executive, Jordan Bratman, plans on being a working mom. You go girl!

Christina, who is due with their baby in the new year, has tamed her wild ways and has also gotten rid of her entourage that she used to have following her. She now chooses to surrond herself with only positive influences.

She tells Glamour magazine, "I want to get (motherhood) right, to balance that well with my career. When you get married and have a team mate in life, you don't have time for the people around you that are just going to weigh you down."

"I'm all about peace and keeping people that are honest and loving in my life, she says." You know I have to really give her credit, yes, she used to give off a sorta skanky-ish vibe with her "outfits" on stage and in videos but she really did change her image to be more classy and has let her talent, which she has alot of, shine through. I think Christina will show the world (and other, ahem, popstars) that you can be a good, hands on mom and still have a successful career.
