What Do Your Kids Google?

How many things have you Googled today? If you visited the online giant in the past 24 hours you might have noticed a quaint bucolic scene featuring a random cow minding his own business in a snowy pasture. Then, out of nowhere a monster snowflake falls like the famous New Year’s Eve Ball in Times Square, barely missing the oblivious bovine. The comical Google Doodle was created to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the largest snowflake, which reportedly landed in Montana in 1887. For parents around the world that useless bit of trivia could have been the springboard for an … Continue reading

Is Kentucky Fried Chicken Demoralizing Our Daughters

Is Kentucky Fried Chicken really trying to treat my daughter like a piece of meat? Well, technically, my daughter is too young to be at the center of this KFC controversy, but yours might be the company’s latest target. So, here’s the scoop on the chicken company’s crazy conundrum: Less than a year after it debuted its now infamous KFC Double Down Sandwich (the one that features two pieces of fried chicken fillets in the place of bread and squishes two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese, two slices of bacon and a special sauce in between them) … Continue reading

Angelina Jolie “Creeped Out” by Mother of Octuplets

She is the celeb mom, who many believe Nadya Suleman is trying to emulate, but movie star Angelina Jolie says the California mother of octuplets freaks her out. According to news reports, Jolie’s exact words were, “totally creeped out.” That’s how Brad Pitt’s famous domestic partner reportedly feels about Suleman, the now-infamous mother of six who just gave birth to eight more children — all thanks to artificial insemination. I haven’t spoken to Jolie, but I would guess her remark has something to do with the fact that Suleman reportedly underwent plastic surgery to look more like her big screen … Continue reading

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

The Top Ten Most Influential Hollywood Tots

They already list the most powerful individuals in the world, so why not create one that features celebrity children?

Magazine editors say they wanted to comprise a Top 10 list of the most influential child under the age of five for their upcoming issue, and the results are in: Topping the list (drum roll not needed) is… none other than Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ adorable daughter Suri.

Super Stars, Super Givers

The twins were born and photographed. The cash was handed over and we’re now learning where all that dough is going. According to a statement issued by the Global Health Committee earlier this week, roughly $2 million of the $14 million Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made from selling snaps of their newborn twins will go to help fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia. As you might recall Ethiopia is the country where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born. Now children there will have a second chance at life thanks to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Execs with the Global Health Committee … Continue reading

Celebrities and Hurricane Gustav

While the major networks were watching Hurricane Gustav unleash its fury on Louisiana entertainment publications were keeping a close eye on celebrities watching what New Orleans mayor described as “the mother of all storms.” (Today Mayor Ray Nagin amended his description calling Gustav “the mother-in-law or the ugly sister of all storms.”) Which just goes to show that the media can spin practically any current events story into one that involves Hollywood’s biggest names. Yesterday I saw video of men working to board up Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s New Orleans home. The couple, which bought a home and lived … Continue reading

Another Way Brangelina Can Profit from their Kids

And the rich just get richer… By now you know that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt pimped out their kids… I mean sold the rights to their newborn twins’ first pictures for a record breaking $14 million. Of course, the couple donated the money from the photos to help impoverished children of the world live a better life, so the move was justified in their minds and their personal bank accounts are not heftier for doing so. Now, consider the latest report out of France (where Brangelina and crew have set up house), which claims that Pitt and Jolie have … Continue reading

To Sell or Not to Sell—Movie Star Weighs in on Baby Pic Saga

Angelina Jolie and the two newest members of the diverse Jolie-Pitt crew are finally home. Well, one of them anyway. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline sped off with their mother from their temporary digs at the French Riviera hospital where they were born a week ago today. According to news reports, the actress and her infants slipped out of the hospital’s back entrance around 4 a.m. and sped off in a white van with tinted windows. No photos were snapped of the newborns, but you won’t have to wait too long to see Brangelina’s babes. Reports say an unnamed American … Continue reading

Brangelina Brood Expanding by Three?

Can you be overdue with twins? French newspapers are reporting that Angelina Jolie will deliver her twins on Tuesday. Numerous sources at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, where the actress was admitted on June 29th, say Brangelina’s twins will be welcomed into the world in just three short days. According to the paper, doctors were initially planning to induce Jolie on Monday, but since July 14th is Bastille Day (a French holiday) the procedure was pushed back a day. There have been so many false reports associated with Jolie’s pregnancy and pending delivery that I’m not sure I buy this … Continue reading
