Is Your Child’s Idol a Loser?

She loved one of her songs, but thankfully, my daughter is not in love with pop sensation Miley Cyrus. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. The former “Hannah Montana” star has legions of young fans, though much to their parents’ chagrin. According to a new poll, 68% of parents say they can’t stand the 19-year-old and wish their children would idolize someone else. Moms and dads claim their displeasure with Cyrus stems from her public transformation from squeaky-clean Disney star to risqué, half-naked punk performer. Joining Cyrus on the list of most unpopular teen role models is another disgraced … Continue reading →

Beyonce Can’t Catch a Break

Although young, beautiful and talented, it seems as if Beyonce simply cannot catch a break.  The singer gave birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, last January.  But, before she gave birth, there was a rumor going around that she wasn’t really pregnant and that she had a surrogate carrying the baby after an Australian interview seemed to show her baby belly deflate upon sitting. Then, there was controversy over the fact that Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z reportedly dropped $1.3 million to reserve the entire floor of the Lenox Hospital where Blue Ivy was born.  Parents claimed that they … Continue reading →

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 →

More Hollywood Splits Plus One Marriage

I just want to finish my “In Memoriam 2011” series, but celebs just won’t stop announcing splits. First up is Debra Messing. The “Will and Grace” actress announced she split from hubby of 10 years, actor-television producer Daniel Zelman. The two met while students at New York University and dated for years before making it official in 2000. They have a seven-year-old son, Roman. But, this breakup will be a bit like a Demi/Bruce one in that it seems to be terribly amicable. So much so that the couple have been separated for most of 2011, but still lived together. … Continue reading →

Selena Gomez to Star in New Prank Show?

This spring is full of news about the Disney Channel. Coming off both the return of the Disney Channel Games and the announcement of a new television series, Hollywood Life published rumors of a new show for the channel starring Selena Gomez. ‘Wait,’ you might say. ‘Isn’t this the sort of thing Disney Channel execs should avoid?’ Sure, they always try to milk their stars for all they’re worth, but the network is already under fire for overworking Demi Lovato. Why would they go and make the same mistake with Gomez? First off, “Wizards of Waverley Place” wraps up its … Continue reading →

Sexiest Man and Babe of the Year Separate

Apparently, being named the Sexiest Man Alive can be a curse at times. Actor Nick Nolte had that horrifying mug shot seen around the world, Patrick Swayze lost his life to pancreatic, and Mel Gibson, well, I don’t have enough room in this blog to go into all his woes. So is there really a Sexiest Man curse? Maybe not, but if there is, Ryan Reynolds seems to just have fallen victim to it. Just a month after being named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man, Reynolds and his wife of two years, actress Scarlett Johansson (and also GQ’s 2010 Babe of the … Continue reading →

Michael Bolton vs. Bruno Tonioli

Even if you don’t watch “Dancing with the Stars,” you might have heard about the throw down between now-eliminated celebrity dancer Michael Bolton and judge Bruno Tonioli. Bolton danced a jive to Elvis’ “Hound Dog” with partner Chelsie Hightower last Monday night and Tonioli let him have it in his critique. Bolton’s total score from all the judges was 12, with Carrie Ann Inaba giving him a 4, Len Goodman giving him a 5, and Tonioli giving him a 3. But it was Tonioli’s words that were most stinging to Bolton. He named it the “worst jive in 11 seasons” … Continue reading →

Why Toddlers and Jeeps Don’t Mix

Earlier this week a father driving a Jeep made a U-turn. Unfortunately, his 2-year-old son did not. According to reports, the toddler, who was strapped inside his carseat, which was placed in the back of the Jeep, flew out of the vehicle when the dad executed the turn. Fortunately (or should I say miraculously), the little boy did not suffer life-threatening injuries, at least according to a fire battalion chief in Wisconsin, who happened to witness the entire incident unfold right before his eyes. Chief Matt Haerter told local reporters that he saw the boy fly out of the Jeep … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Gisele Bundchen and Farrah Fawcett

It looks as though Gisele Bundchen may finally be getting her ultimate wish. Reports say that the supermodel is expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady. In other news, Bridget Moynahan is hoping that once Bundchen gives birth she will leave her 18-month-old son with Brady alone. I know a few people who’ll drink to that. You’ll recall that Brady dumped Moynahan right before she discovered she was pregnant with his child. The football star then hooked up with Bundchen, and the two recently got hitched twice-—once in California, and again, last month in Costa Rica. The Victoria’s Secret … Continue reading →

Joel Madden vs. Strict Flight Attendant

In this corner… heavily tattooed Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden. And in this corner… a conservative British Airways flight attendant. Ding, ding! It’s not exactly the fight of the century, more like the flight of shame. According to Nicole Richie’s baby daddy, an airline worker refused to allow him on a flight from Chicago to London unless he covered up his tattoos. The rocker claims he was flying out of the Windy City a few days ago to film a new music video when a male flight attendant ordered him to hide the body art on his arms. To be … Continue reading →
