Rich Parents Doing Away with Expensive Holiday Gifts

Did you hear the one about the billionaire parents who plan to give their family members homemade gifts only this holiday season? Actually, it’s no joke and you might have heard of the parents in question… their names are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Despite Jolie just earning the title of highest-paid woman in Hollywood, and Pitt raking in $20 million for starring in his new flick “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” the parents of six little ones say they won’t be placing pricey presents under the Christmas tree this year. In a recent interview with Hello! Magazine, Pitt … Continue reading →

Celebrity Parents: “For the Sake of the Children”

So here’s the deal: Actress Jaime Pressly just confirmed that she and her fiance Eric Cubiche have officially separated and will likely stay that way permanently. No major headline there considering splits in Tinseltown are a dime a dozen. Here’s what makes their situation unique: The couple has an 18-month-old son named Dezi whom they conceived during their 9-year “friendship” that evolved into a 2-year engagement. According to Pressly, the couple plans to “remain close friends as we both adore our son and want to make sure he knows we both love him more than life.” So essentially the “My … Continue reading →

Up for a Celebrity Hand-Me-Down?

How would you like to strap on a diaper bag worn by hunky Matt Damon? Perhaps you would prefer to strap your child into the same high chair Julianne Moore’s daughter ate her mom’s famous meatloaf in? You’ll get your chance beginning Tuesday when celebrity baby hand-me-downs go up for auction on eBay. A slew of famous parents dug deep to donate items their own children used to help kids in need. Organizers say proceeds raised from the Johnson & Johnson Celebrity Hand Me Down Auction will benefit charities such as the March of Dimes, Save the Children, Zero to … Continue reading →

A Celebrity Mom’s Potential Best Seller

Here’s a book I doubt we’ll be seeing on the best-seller’s list. Then again… It may be a challenge for Lynne Spears to convince others to buy her new parenting book given her (most) famous daughter’s current situation. Britney’s mom is not lacking for juicy material for her new personal tell-all of raising two famous daughters. However, for whatever reason, Spears is not marketing her new book as such. Rather, the mom to 26-year-old Britney and remarkably “normal” (or perhaps she just appears this way in comparison to her messed up sister) 16-year-old actress Jamie Lynn teamed up with a … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: Nicole Engaged?

Funny, I thought she has been engaged for a while. Silly me. I guess I thought that Joel Madden had asked Nicole Richie for her hand in marriage the day he found out she was pregnant with his child… but, apparently not. According to numerous reports, the Good Charlotte singer proposed to his baby’s mama on Thursday. The quasi-announcement came last night after Madden and his band played a gig in Virginia. As Madden was walking off stage a local radio deejay announced to the crowd: “He got engaged yesterday. Congratulations, Joel!” Upon hearing the cheers from the crowd Madden … Continue reading →

Celebrities Struggle To Get Their Kids To Eat Vegetables Too

You see them in pictures on the set of their dad’s latest movie or walking hand in hand with their pop princess mom down Rodeo Drive. But what is life like for the kids of celebrity parents when the cameras aren’t around? According to comedian Jerry Seinfeld it’s not all that exciting. Unless you count trying to get young children to eat vegetables exciting. Jerry and his wife Jessica Seinfeld say they spent so much time trying to get the kids (Sascha, 6, Julian, 4, and Shepherd, 2) to eat healthy it wore them out. “We tried bribing them, begging … Continue reading →

The Joys Of Celebrity Parenthood

Just call him Grandpa Reege. Or, The King of Grandpas. Either way, talk show host Regis Philbin will likely have a ton of funny baby stories to share once his daughter gives birth early next year. Philbin used his show, “Live with Regis and Kelly” to announce that his daughter Jennifer (JJ) is expecting her first child with husband Michael Schur in February. The couple has been married for nearly two years and both are TV show writers. As for what the couple plans to name their new addition, the grandfather-to-be had this to say: “It will be interesting to … Continue reading →

Kevin Federline—“Great Dad?”

In what altered universe do Kevin Federline and the words “great father” go hand-in-hand? Apparently, in the same one where his estranged wife goes mad, shaves off all her hair, gets tattooed, and attacks photographers’ cars with golf umbrellas. Alas, it’s true. During a popular L.A.-based morning radio show, the words “great father” were used by a DJ to describe K-Fed in the days since Spears checked into rehab. Shockingly, the DJ wasn’t joking. The reference to K-Fed was made last week after news agencies reported that he drove to the Malibu rehab center where Spears is being treated. Federline … Continue reading →

Celebrities Reflect On Parenthood

Now that I’ve gotten over the fact that Ben Affleck will not be changing our child’s diapers I can at least (gasp, choke) be (sniff, sniff) happy that he is changing his own daughter’s (with actress Jennifer Garner) pants. Affleck, who made headlines two years ago when he split from Jennifer Lopez, is now making news for his transformation from party boy to hands-on dad to 1-year-old Violet. “I’ve never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they had an impact on people other than me,” Affleck, recently told USA Today. Affleck goes on to say that … Continue reading →
