Judge Mitchell Beckloff ruled Monday that Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, be granted temporary guardianship of Michael Jackson's three children, Michael Jackson Jr., 12, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, and Prince Michael Jackson, 7. According to Joe Jackson, the children are enjoying playing with other kids at their house since they were never really around kids before. "We're going to take care of them and give them the education they're supposed to have," he said. "We can do that." Mrs. Jackson also petitioned to be administrator of her son's estate. Although the filing did... continue reading
Did anyone check out Tom Cruise's two-episode special on Oprah last Friday and Monday? I saw a couple clips, namely Tom explaining the whole couch-jumping incident that occurred the last time he sat on Oprah's couch. I found the celebudad to be down-to-earth and charming, especially when he addressed one of the reasons many fans have been turned-off by him--his comments about Brooke Shields' post-partum depression during a TV interview in 2006. Tom confessed to Oprah that he was "wrong" for attacking pal Brooke Shields and other new mothers who turn to medication to manage postpartum... continue reading
I haven't seen celebumom Catherine Zeta-Jones out and about, or even on the gossip sites in a while. Turns out the actress is busy filming The Rebound, a new flick in which she plays a divorced woman who tries to keep up with her new, much younger man. (Hmm...maybe she can ask hubby Michael Douglas for tips on keeping up with a more youthful partner.) Page Six reported this week that their spies spotted Catherine in the cardio room of Club H Fitness on East 34th Street in New York, which was shut down the other day while she shot her new movie--for 15 hours straight. "She was so beat, in... continue reading
The hit show 30 Rock is using a pint-size comedian for material for their show. Who is it? It's Tina Fey's 3-year-old daughter Alice! Jane Krakowski, Tina's co-star, disclosed to the New York Daily News that "Some of the great catchphrases of 30 Rock have come from Alice. Like, 'I want to go there!' - that's Alice. It's so funny because I hear people say it on the street, and that was (Tina's) daughter! There are other things that Alice came up with as well, like 'normal sauce' and 'crazy putty.' These works are 30 Rock vocabulary. They're hilarious - and they're all Alice!" From the... continue reading
Mommywood reported in the fall that mother of two Reese Witherspoon was been named the honorary chair of the Avon Foundation. This week, she spoke before the United Nations to help the beauty company announce their partnership with the United Nations Development Fund for Women. To raise funds for women around the world, Reese also introduced to the U.N the Women's Empowerment Bracelet. These silk and silver bracelets cost $3 and net proceeds ($2.25) from each bracelet go directly to create a new Avon Empowerment Fund. The first $500,000 from bracelet sales will be matched by the Avon... continue reading
The celebumoms and dads came out for the The Silver Spoon Dog and Baby Gifting Suite at the Hyatt Century City in Los Angeles last weekend. Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, Samantha Harris, Shar Jackson, Scott Baio, Beverly Mitchell (7th Heaven), Drew Lachey (with his wife Lea), and Jodie Sweetin (Full House) were just some of the attendees. Tori dropped in with son Liam and husband Dean in tow. The very expectant mother picked up gifts for her new baby, including a Gita Manny diaper bag for husband Dean, who said, "Man, this is an awesome manny bag! I wish I had this when Liam was born." There... continue reading
"I love being pregnant. [It makes] you feel like more like a woman than you've ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby." -- Angelina Jolie on the Today show "Joel actually changes more diapers than I do . . . It's his time with her. He sings to her, he laughs with her, plays with her. It's amazing." -- Nicole Richie to Extra "I can't say [getting pregnant] was a total accident. Because you're aware of when you're being careful and when you're not. It just happened so soon. I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a... continue reading
