A Matt Damon Setting on Charitable Example for Daughters

I can’t think of any more important value to instill in our children than the desire to help others,” he explains.While the girls are still young, Matt says that they’ve been staying behind with mom Luciana during his visits abroad.ONE campaign.As a child, I was raised to believe that, and to this day I do my best to live it.In the future, I know these trips are something we’ll do as a family.There’s so much I don’t know.When I was a boy, my mom had a magnet on the refrigerator with a little picture of Gandhi along with a quote from him.It’s really powerful when you get to meet the people and shake their hands and listen to their stories,” he says.The 39-year-old actor credits mom Nancy for instilling in him at an early age the importance of giving back.I’m not a politician, and I don’t want to tell anybody how to live.He’s also doing his best to pass that mindset on to daughters Alexia, 11, Isabella, 3, and Gia Zavala, 13 ½ months.Someday, however, he says he’s looking forward to having their company as he comes face-to-face with those he’s working to help with Water.We don’t like to be separated, but we both feel it’s so important to learn about these things.It said: “No matter how insignificant what you do may seem, it is important that you do it,’ Matt recalls in a new interview with PARADE.

For Matt Damon, philanthropy is a way of life — and it’s the only life he’s ever known.Real problems can be solved by the next generation if we instill in them the right values.I feel strongly about setting an example for them.But I must say, all these years later, I still think Gandhi had the right idea: No matter how small the contribution we make may seem, it’s crucial that we all do our part.

New HairStyle Of Celebrities

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:35:00 +0000

When she changed it, everyone lost interest in her and what she was doing.New celebrity hairstyles are not going anywhere and those that wear them are going to continue to do so for many years to come.Everyone seems to notice when a celebrity steps out with a new hairstyle.

It's because they simply want a different look for themselves or to change the way that they are seen by the public and the professional world.You might be wondering how in the world these new celebrity hairstyles come to life and who thinks them up.Celebrities will forever be changing styles and colors.The best example of this is when Julia Roberts cut her hair in the nineties.It's very strange to think that hair can make that much of an impact, but it does.Many celebrities change the way that they look several times in their lives, and sometimes, several times in one year.However, the person they should probably be asking is her stylist, as that is generally who is responsible for the new celebrity hairstyles that we see today.

If you want to have a hairstyle like them, you will also have to be willing to adapt to the different styles that may come up and always be on the next step up.New celebrity hairstyles are the way that they rebel to the rest of the world.Everyone expected that she would keep the trademark long curly hair.The stylists also may tell them when they are doing something that they shouldn't be doing in regards to their styles.The answer is the same as it is for anyone else who may want to change their look.They may feel that they can't control what is going on around them and still stay employed, so their hair becomes the way that they can be themselves, individuals.Since they are always in the spotlight, everyone knows what they did and what did or didn't work for them.Many wondered what she was thinking when she let the long locks fall away in favor of a new more contemporary style.They advise celebrities on what styles they should have and how to best make the transition to that style as well.It's not as hard to understand as it may seem.Many people wonder what it is that makes a celebrity change a style that seems to be working for them already.They have the ability to help them to make a better choice if the one that they are going to make seems to not be in their best interests.One simple word, hairstylists, they have people who do their hair for them.

Caught Caring: Ben Stiller and Save the Children

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:11:00 +0000

For most newborn babies the world is full of limitless possibilities; For millions of children in conflict countries, however, their future at birth appears bleak indeed. There are life-threatening illnesses and diseases to overcome, poverty to contend with, and a general lack of educational opportunities.

With regard to the latter, the international non-profit organization Save the Children in 2005 launched Rewrite the Future which seeks to provide supplies, books and uniforms to those who need it most.

Their efforts are succeeding. Rewrite the Future has thus far assisted ten million children in receiving a better education and has enrolled 1 million children into school — the equivalent of opening two schools every day.

UPI Photo/Landov

Celebrity dad Ben Stiller has signed on to the cause, and recently made his first trip to Africa to witness firsthand how Rewrite the Future is working.

In Karamoja, Uganda Ben visited several different projects funded by the charity and spent time with the schoolchildren who have benefited as a result.

“[The] aim is to integrate [an educational framework] into the fabric of what’s going on there, from the inside out…it’s about helping people to help themselves,” he explains. “It’s different from delivering a shipment of grain. It’s really about connecting with people.” He adds,

“As a person, and seeing what’s going on in the world, there’s only so much you can take before you go ‘I’ve just got to try to do something,’ whether it seems cynical or not.”

Another way Ben is trying to help is withHelp Me Spread Goodness. The comedy, which Ben is directing, tells the tale of a Nigerian email scam victim who travels to Africa to track down the man who scammed him and who along the way learns about the struggles of those who live there.

Produced by Participant Media — a studio which requires its films to carry a message of social change and awareness — Help Me Spread Goodness is due in theaters in 2011.

The need for greater educational opportunities is particularly acute in conflict countries like Haiti, which Ben has also visited, and the Middle East. To that end, Save the Children has enabled over 60,000 children in Afghanistan to go school for the first time — many of them girls. Noting that education can contribute to economic growth and stability, Save the Children says that every additional year of formal schooling reduces the chance of males becoming involved in conflict by 20%.

“With education, children have the opportunity to break the cycle of war and poverty.”

Although global aid to educational initiatives is on the rise, there is much work yet to be done. Over half of the 75 million children out of school — 40 million — still live in countries affected by conflict, Save the Children estimates. To find out how you can help, click here.

Ben and wife Christine Taylor are parents to Ella Olivia, 7 ½, and Quinlin Dempsey, 4.

Celebrity Fragrance Fashion - Perfume & Cologne by Patricia Warne

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:38:00 +0000

Every woman wants to smell divine. But the quest for the right fragrance can be as elusive as that search for the perfect Prince Charming. Yes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. And, sure, it's easy to steer clear of the cheaper, less desirable, options. But even when you limit yourself to the high-end stuff, the choice of fragrance is overwhelming.

Shopping for perfume or cologne is additionally complicated by the fact that the olfactory system quickly becomes overwhelmed. After three or four fragrances, your ability to differentiate between scents is probably shot. And, because you absolutely have to try fragrance on your own skin (it will react differently with each person's skin), you've probably run out of places to spritz it too!

Memory & Smell:

While cologne and perfume are known for providing fragrance, perfume bottles have long been sought after for their display-worthy design.

Our sense of smell is deeply connected to our faculty of memory. Marcel Proust, the French author, described in great detail how a smell from childhood can trigger an intense and involuntary graphic memory of a certain event and emotional state.

It makes sense, then, that we are attracted to fragrances that are somehow connected to positive memories, however abstractly. The types of fragrance each of us is drawn to will fall into one of two camps: light and dark.

A Lighter Fragrance Touch

As the name suggests, light fragrances are floral, ozonic and fresh. They evoke a sense cleanliness and youth, smelling of line-dried laundry and fresh growth, of freshly chopped wood, spring rain and newborn babies.

Even in the sterile environment that most modern homes and offices epitomize, there exists a desire for a fragrance that spells "clean", but yet adds gentle warmth to our anonymous surroundings. Lighter scents accomplish this task with subtlety and style. Their wearers are vivacious and playful, yet they don't take themselves too seriously.

But though these discount designer fragrances are light, they are not necessarily un-complex: The bouquet can be a blend of many floral fragrances, with dashes of fruit, citrus, water or 'green' notes such as grass and herbs, which will evolve differently on each wearer.

A Little on the Darker Side

At the other end of the Globe, there are dark fragrances. Dark scents are not the natural choice of most girls: They're gritty, tenacious, dirty and full of depth. They smell like old books, of worn leather, wet earth and rotting wood.

The original purpose of all fragrance was, of course, to stop us from stinking in times when people could not bathe daily; hence the name "toilet water" or eau de toilette. The ingredients chosen were ones that signalled freshness, like lemon, lavender and roses; ingredients we associate with lighter scents. But people soon developed a use for fragrance beyond that of plain deodorizer, and there lies the origin of darker fragrances.

In 18th century France, perfumers began to add excrement, diluted extremely, to floral fragrances to create depth and complexity. Nowadays, the equivalent ingredient is musk, which will add an animal note to any fragrance.

Of course, the original perfumer employs these ingredients with skill. Adding musk to floral and fruit scents will create a sickly, sweet scent, that's at once nauseating and luxurious. Dark fragrances speak of a woman who is sexual, confident, mysterious and passionate.

Signature Scents:

Whether you gravitate towards dark or light perfume or cologne, at some point you'll find one you adore. Then the inevitable question becomes whether that fragrance is a life-long love or a fickle fling.

But there's an inherent Catch-22 in adopting a signature scent: On one hand, you'll leave a definite imprint on people's subconscious memory. You'll be forever associated with that fragrance and it will become a part of your personality, a part of your identity - like the colour of your eyes or the sound of your laughter.

On the other hand, the longer you wear a fragrance, the less you'll be able to detect it yourself. You won't yourself enjoy the waft of fragrance that a man smells when he kisses the nape of your neck. You'll also have to become a pro about how much you apply. Those ghastly ladies who wear too much perfume probably can't smell the fact they've gone overboard!

Myself, I'm a big fan of the signature scent. I've been wearing the same fragrance for more than 15 years and although I have had the odd affair with another fragrance, I've always come back to my dependable signature scent. And returning has been like reconnecting with an old lover; there's a sense of familiarity and reinforcement of a deeply-ingrained identity.<

Star Power:

But perfume and cologne is not all about sensual pleasure. As an estimated US$2.8 billion dollar industry, there's tough competition to stake and maintain a hold in the fragrance market. And what better to boost sales than a peppering of star-power?

Stars like Britney Spears and Sarah-Jessica Parker have, with varying degrees of involvement, lent their names to fragrances. But, while a star certainly adds sizzle, they are no guarantee of success.

Celebrity fragrance may have initial pull with a loyal fan-base, but such discount perfumes will unlikely have the longevity of more established fragrances. Chanel No. 5 has been around since 1921, Guerlain Mitsuoko was created in 1919 and Shalimar has been around since 1925. These fragrances tell a story of a bygone era, yet are still wearable and coveted nearly a century later. Will we be able to say the same thing about Curious by Britney Spears?

At the end of the day, if any discount fragrance is going to develop a loyal following, it has to seduce our senses and not simply appeal to a fickle fashion trend. After all, a woman's relationship with her fragrance is a complex one, grown over time. The fragrance that will ultimately make us fall in love is one that is an ineffable expression of our true selves.

I am an avid fragrance enthusiast and reviewer. I have been around the perfume and cologne fragrance industry for over 20years. A great site I've found and used many times to buy discount perfume and cologne is YourNewFragrance.Com.

Christian Slater: ‘Having Kids Is a Phenomenal Eye-Opener’

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:32:00 +0000

Bauer-Griffin

Some roles hit closer to home than others, and for Christian Slaterportraying a detective haunted by the disappearance of his daughter on the new show The Forgotten is one of them.

“I certainly know that I can identify with loving your family and loving your kids and thinking they’re the most important things in your life,” says the 40-year-old dad-of-two. “Losing one of them is just not something you want to give a lot of thought to, but I do face it on the show.”

For a time, the Heathers star admits that high school was something else to be avoided but that all changed several years ago when Christian obtained his GED. Noting that “having kids is a phenomenal eye-opener,” Christian says that after welcoming Jaden Christopher, 10, and Eliana Sophia, 8, his “whole idea on education started to shift just a little bit.”

“I definitely wanted them to finish high school, but I hadn’t finished high school. So I knew that if I tried to push them, I would lose the argument because they’d be like, ‘Hey dad, you never finished.’ So I went and sat in a classroom with a bunch of students and got my GED.”

So powerful was the experience, Christian now volunteers with the Get Schooled initiative recently launched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Association. “I’m helping raise the awareness of how many high-school dropouts there actually are a year, about a million students.,” he explains. “It’s a very, very scary statistic, and you know, it needs to be paid attention to. So, ironically, as a result of a decision I made 10 years ago, I’ve become an educational ambassador.”

Christian adds that he hopes his passion for learning is evident to Jaden and Eliana. “We lead, of course…by example, and try to be the best examples we can be for them,” he notes. “I think it just helps all around.”

“Lately, I’ve been reading the Nancy Drew books to my kids, and I just do what I can to encourage them to be little readers. We started going through three chapters of Nancy Drew every night, and they’re so into it. It’s about the idea of cliff-hangers in the stories, which is keeping them engaged. Their enthusiasm has really kind of got me very excited about it.”

Jaden and Eliana are Christian’s children with ex-wife Ryan Haddon. The Forgotten airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Maxine Bahns: ‘Happy Couple Equals a Happy Baby’

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:18:00 +0000

A veteran triathlete — she has competed in over 30, including the 2001 Hawaii Ironman — no one was more surprised than Maxine Bahns herself when she stopped training and watching what she ate following thebirth of her daughter, Madison Rose, in March.

In the September issue of Experience Lifemagazine, the actress reveals that adjusting to the needs of a newborn left her with little time for much else, including cooking.

“My husband [Patrick] for some crazy reason, loves Top Ramen, and I normally would never, ever eat that, but it was the only thing in the cupboard,” she says.

Fortunately, it didn’t take Maxine long to realize the effects her unhealthy habits were having on her body.

“My fall off the health wagon was short-lived,” she reports. “When I started exercising and eating clean again, I looked and felt so much better.”

While a physically fit Maxine — who believes that her dedication to prenatal yoga led to her 20-minute delivery — Patrick and 6-month-old Madison have settled into their routine as a family of three, the Mentalist actress admits it hasn’t all been smooth sailing.

Once free to go as they pleased, the reality of life with baby was a hard hit for the couple. Says Patrick,

“At 39, I was so used to doing whatever the heck I wanted, whenever I wanted. Having a child totally shifted our priorities — now you just tend to her whenever she needs you.”

Click below to learn how hiring help has been key to keeping Maxine and Patrick’s relationship alive.

With the addition of a part-time nanny to care for their daughter, both Maxine and Patrick have regained a bit of their freedom. For the new mama, time spent away from her family is, more often than not, time dedicated to her career, while Patrick enjoys the ability to train with a local road-cycling team. “I love my job, and though the help is minimal, it’s enough to let me go to castings, take a meeting here and there, and to work out,” she says.

According to the 38-year-old, the key to their happiness has been finding a balance that suits all.

“Pat and I have really made a concerted effort to spend time alone together, to spend a lot of time as a family and to check in. A happy couple equals a happy baby. I know that Madison picks up on our energy, so it’s important that we communicate and are just very supportive of one another.”

Not unlike most parents, despite their hopes that Madison will follow in their footsteps when it comes to a physically fit lifestyle, the couple plan to encourage her to seek happiness. “I would really love it if she was athletic,” she explains. “But mostly I just want her to do what makes her happy, and to be a good person — kind, loving, compassionate, and honest.”

Poppy Montgomery Dishes on Her Boundary-Pushing Boy

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:40:00 +0000

Freeman/EMPICS/ABACA

Time moves fast, and Poppy Montgomery wants to make the most of hers with son Jackson Phillip Deveraux, 20 months. “I have been working since he was born,” she told Celebrity Baby Blog at the Pink Party to benefit the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Research Institute in Los Angeles on Saturday, “so I am going to take the rest of this year just to be with him.”

Although she will “re-evaluate” the situation in January when Jackson begins preschool, for now the twosome have been passing the time much like any other mother and son. “We’re just hanging out,” Poppy shares. “We have a toddler group and we go to the park…I’m just ‘Mom,’ which has been really fun for me.”

Most of the time! Jackson is “testing every boundary under the sun,” Poppy concedes before adding:

“Everything he is not supposed to do, he wants to do. I’m like, ‘Good for you, buck the system, rebel!’”

When it comes to reclaiming her pre-baby body, Poppy says there is no magic answer — just “really hard work.” Staying in shape is “not easy” for the 37-year-old former Without A Trace star, and life with a newborn wasn’t conducive to her weight-loss regimen.

“It’s harder because it’s easier to eat fast food with the baby because you never have your hands free, you’re always sort of grabbing,” she notes. “You have to force yourself to sit down and eat well.”

As for her advice to other new moms, Poppy says to remember that you’re not alone.

“It’s really hard, and everyone goes through it, I don’t think it’s easy for any woman. So if you feel like it’s impossible, we all felt that way.”

Jackson is Poppy’s son with partner Adam Kaufman.

The Borderline Between Celebrity Gossip and Hard News by Chris Cornell

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:25:00 +0000

Facing a celebrity gossip, no matter how big or small, is part of the glitz and glamour of being a celebrity. As celebrities are known personas, it is just normal for people to be interested in all the happenings of their lives, even the tiniest bit of issue regarding them.

Gossip may be thought of as merely news regarding popular personalities. However, there is a line that separates and borders the two. In several angles, celebrity gossip differs from news.

News is basically defined as anything about matters, events and happenings that are currently taking place. These are presented in papers, live television and radio broadcast, internet and the most basic of all, word of mouth.

Celebrity gossip comes in the same form - papers, broadcast, internet and word of mouth. However, gossips are more observable through the internet and word of mouth unlike straight news which is more apparent in live broadcast and newspapers. Also, gossips only talk about more particular issues as they are specific towards popular personalities only. News, on the other hand, cater on anything under the sun starting from current events, politics, environment, art, music, changes and developments on various fields such as technology, medicine, entertainment and many more.

The most significant difference of the two falls on their contents: news is a factual report, while gossips are not. News, as far as responsible journalism is concerned, only contains verified information. In contrast, gossips may contain unverified reports and information. Oftentimes, reports and gossips on celebrities are simply hear-say and speculation.
Today, celebrity gossips are often brought to surface through the unstaged celebrity photographs taken by paparazzi. In most cases, rumors and speculation start from the malicious photographs posted over the internet. As the discussion grows, the talk spreads and evolves into what we know as rumor or gossip.

At the end, I'd like to share cool website with more information on Current Celebrity Gossip andCelebrity Gossip. Visit for more details.

Heidi Klum’s Emmy Dress: I Can Let It All Hang Out

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:18:00 +0000

Noel Vasquez/WireImage

Heidi Klum is ready to do her runway walk down the Emmy red carpet, and — about five weeks away from giving birth to her new daughter — she’s thrilled she won’t be sucking in her tummy.

“The great thing about being pregnant and going to these things is that I don’t have to suck my stomach in,” the supermodel andProject Runway host told PEOPLE at Los Angeles Confidential’s pre-Emmy party. “It’s fabulous! I can let it all out.”

Heidi, who’s nominated as Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, revealed that she’ll be wearing a Marchesa gown designed especially for her by Georgina Chapman at the model’s request.

She said she hasn’t put too much thought into prepping around her pregnancy for the big day.

“It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she laughed about going glam with the baby on board.

“She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better! I think it’s elegant and slimming.”

Heidi says she’s savoring every moment of her fourth pregnancy, which she and husband Seal have decided will be her last.

“Even though I’ve done it three times you do forget certain things,” she said. “She’s really, really active. Sometimes we lay in bed at night and my husband puts his hand on my stomach and she’s going crazy in there! He’s like ‘How do you sleep with all of this going on?’” she laughed. “But for me it’s the most calming thing because I know she’s okay. So as long as the baby is moving, I’m fine. He’s like ‘This is crazy,’ because she’s bumping up and down and doing all this crazy stuff, but for me it’s calming.”

As far as returning to those tummy-sucking-in days, Heidi says she doesn’t have any target date to have her famous body ready for bikini and lingerie shoots.

“I was asked by Victoria’s Secret if it is possible, if I’m going to make it to their show,” she said. “You never know how you are afterwards, so you kind of have to play it by ear and see what happens. So far — knock on wood — everything was always great. I felt great afterwards and I loved every minute of it, even the sleepless nights of getting up every two hours. But let’s see what happens. You can’t put all that pressure on yourself. “

Kobe Bryant Takes a Break From Basketball For Princess Parties

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:52:00 +0000

Not every little girl can say their father is an star basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as an Olympic gold medalist in the sport, but for Natalia Diamante, 6 ½, and Gianna Maria-Onore, 3, watching their dad Kobe Bryant shoot hoops has become routine.

That said, in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Kobe reveals his daughters were thrown for a loop when he was named cover athlete for the NBA 2K10 video game. “My kids think it’s cool,” he says. “They’re like, ‘Daddy, that’s you!’”

While the mirrored gestures and facial expressions between Kobe and his digital version are undeniable, the father-of-two laughs that it is Natalia who is impressed by the technology — Gianna, “the biggest daddy’s girl in the world,” simply enjoys the extra opportunity to see her dad in action!

“My older daughter thinks that’s cool. But the little one looks at me and starts giggling and she’ll get pretty excited to see me on the screen or see my picture. She’s at a stage that’s pretty great.”

Video games for Kobe and his girls aren’t completely centered on the court. Noting that Natalia has shown interest in basketball — the doting dad calls her “hard core” — he admits she much prefers a princess party. “My daughter…likes to play princess games. I play with her, actually,” he shares.

“She plays the basketball games too, but mostly, she plays all the princess games.”

Natalia and Gianna are Kobe’s daughters with his wife Vanessa Laine Bryant.

Jennifer Connelly: Ruthless Ninja, Relaxed Mom

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:55:00 +0000

Freddie Baez/Startraks

The slower-paced lifestyle on the West Coast took some getting used to for Jennifer Connelly and her two children Kai, 12, and Stellan, 6. Temporarily relocated from their home in Brooklyn, the family-of-four — which includes Jennifer’s husband actor Paul Bettany — eventually “settled in” and their new digs “became great,” she said during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “We found some things to become involved in,” she notes.

“For my kids it was swimming. My younger son couldn’t swim at all when we got here, and now he’s doing cannonballs into the pool, and flips. My older son has perfected his dive.”

Jennifer herself has taken up mixed martial arts, joking that “inside this sort of mild-mannered woman beats the heart of a ruthless ninja.” Her newfound toughness is lost on the boys, however. “My children are not scared of me that I’ve noticed so far, no,” she concedes. “I don’t think I’m particularly strict.”

Case in point? While Jennifer has a no-tolerance policy for “rudeness,” her stance on cursing is considerably more relaxed! “I won’t let my kids say, ‘You’re a f–king a–hole’ because that would be rude, that’s directed towards someone else,” she said during a humorous exchange with hostJimmy Kimmel, who then asked whether the boys would be allowed to say such a thing to a mirror. Answering in the negative, Jennifer explained, “Again, that’s rude. I wouldn’t want them to speak to themselves like that.”

“I make it very clear that this is [something that is] surprising to other people. Don’t go to school and say ‘Teacher, pass me a f–king pencil.’ You don’t say that. You say, ‘May I please have a pencil?’”

While some parents would undoubtedly be shocked by the language Kai and Stellan are permitted to use at home, Jennifer says that there are bigger battles to be waged when it comes to raising kids. She opines,

“Here’s the thing…I see parents letting their kids be — frankly — rude. Frankly, brats. And you think, ‘That kid is really a brat,’ and you say, ‘S–t, that kid is a brat,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, you can’t curse in front of my child!’ People get very uptight about that sort of thing, but they don’t mind if their children are impolite.”

Jennifer added, “I believe in discipline, but other things that people are uptight about, I’m not uptight about.”

Her new movie 9 is now showing nationwide.

David Boreanaz: Life is ‘All Good’ With New Baby

It’s been two and a half weeks since David Boreanaz and wife Jaime Bergman welcomed their second child, daughter Bardot Vita, and everyone is “happy and healthy,” the Bones star tells PEOPLE’s Celebrity Baby Blog. “It’s all good.”

Enjoying a short break at FOX’s Eco-Casino party on Monday, David compared the transition into fatherhood to the situation his character of Seeley Booth is working through on Bones, calling it a “very interesting road … looking at love, finding it and trying to apply it to somebody who really is special.”

Costar Emily Deschanel added that the new dad was a little “nervous before the baby was born,” but is now “just so happy. He’s excited to be a daddy again!” Calling baby Bardot “adorable,” the actress reveals that the proud papa is “always showing pictures of her [on set].”

The chemistry may be palpable between David and Emily’s onscreen characters, but off camera, it’s David’s 7-year-old son, Jaden Rayne, with whom Emily has formed a tight bond.

“It sounds terrible,” jokes Emily, “but we play like stuntmen. Basically we pretend to beat each other up. It’s so much fun. We tackle each other and it’s fun. You can say we play football together!”

Bones airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.

Elisabeth Röhm scoops up her daughter, 17-month-old Easton August Anthony, at Saturday’s premiere of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

As a mom, Elisabeth says she focuses on“being in the moment” with her daughter, rather than on milestones.

“I think you can spend so much time saying ‘I can’t wait until they walk, I can’t wait until they talk, I can’t wait until they do this,’ that you are not really with them right there. A child is a gift.”

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs hits theaters Friday.

U.S. Open Champ Kim Clijsters: ‘Anything is Possible’

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:52:00 +0000

Juan Soliz/Pacific Coast News

When Belgian Kim Clijsters defeatedCaroline Wozniacki last night to claim the women’s singles trophy at the U.S. Open, she became the first mom to emerge victorious at a Grand Slam event in 29 years.

The historic significance of the win was not lost on the 26-year-old former World No. 1, mom to 18-month-old Jada Ellie.

“I hope that I can inspire a lot of other women who are willing, or hoping, to [return to work] but maybe don’t know the way to start or are insecure about starting,” she told CNN after the match.

Kim was quick to point out, however, that she couldn’t have achieved her new-found success without the support of husbandBrian Lynch and others.

“I really believe anything is possible but it is a family affair. I also need help from family and people around me but it’s a great feeling to know that I can combine the sport that I love but also be a mum as well — it’s great.”

Having only recently emerged from retirement — the tournament in Flushing Meadows was just her third tournament after a two year hiatus — Kim admitted that the results exceeded her wildest expectations.

When she stepped away from the sport due to nagging injuries in 2007, she says that she considered the move permanent.

“[Coming back] wasn’t something I was planning on doing,” she said, “but obviously I have done well and obviously it is a great feeling to have.”

“During those two years off I maybe hit the ball two or three times and a few practice sessions with my friends – in fact it wasn’t even practice it was just fooling around. So to be in that position to decide that I wanted to do more than play exhibition matches was a big decision to have to be made, but right now it definitely feels like the best decision.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz on Her Son: He’s ‘the Best Part of Everything’ I Do

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:43:00 +0000

There’s no convincing Ashlee Simpson-Wentz that greener pastures await her later in life.

“It’s always, ‘Thirties is the ideal age.’ Then, ‘No, it’s 40s!’ I guess I don’t have an ideal age. I like to live in the moment,” she reveals in the October issue of Redbook.

While the 24-year-old singer/actress may not spend time ruminating on her age, she recognizes that life has been that much more special since giving birth to her first child last year.

“It’s kind of fun because I have a child and I’m at a place where I get to reboot and do something new,” she notes.

“Your 20s are a great time to explore and a great time to have a baby. [My son] is the best part of everything.”

Relishing her new role as a mother, Ashlee and her husband Pete Wentz have happily settled into a familiar routine since the birth of Bronx Mowgli, now 9 ½ months.

Fortunately for the couple, the transition into first-time parenthood was particularly smooth — a result, Ashlee says, of the nine months of pregnancy.

“The great thing about being pregnant is…it really does prepare you,” she explains. “Your body is changing and it’s an amazing time to feel that connection.”

According to the proud mama, feel that connection between mother and child she did! Counting herself among the “lucky” ones, Ashlee has only fond memories of both her pregnancy and delivery.

“I didn’t mind at all,” she admits. “I think being pregnant is so beautiful. I had the best pregnancy and I loved giving birth. It was just the most amazing thing, so surreal but so real.”

In fact, she cites the nine-month span as one of her peak periods of physical fitness.

“Being pregnant was the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes.”

The addition of baby Bronx has forced theMelrose Place star to see her family — including Pete — in an entirely new light. “[Pete] is a great dad. So sweet and loving,” Ashlee boasts.

And while she had little doubt he would step up to the plate as an excellent father, Ashlee can’t help but take in each moment the father-son duo spend together.

“When you see the dad with your son, it’s a whole new side of them. Just beautiful.”

Similar to her relationship with Pete, Ashlee’s bond with her own parents has equally blossomed since becoming a mother.

“We were always close, but as you get older, and when you go through something like a pregnancy, you think, ‘Oh, my parents are wonderful!’ she says.

“[My mom has] always been such a great mom, and now she’s a great grandmother! Bronx loves her.”

As for her older sister Jessica — who once considered Ashlee and her friends “just the little sisters” — becoming an aunt has set off her biological clock! “She’s always saying, ‘Oh, I want a baby!’” Ashlee reports.

Although she may have beaten her older sister to motherhood, Ashlee wholeheartedly believes the cards will eventually fall into place.

“Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible. I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from.”

Despite being intent on enjoying each moment in life as they present themselves, Ashlee can’t help but look forward to what her future will bring. “I’d like to be an awesome mom,” she shares.

“I’d like to have a big old family.”

Karolína Kurková shows off her pregnancy progress while attending the launch ofObserver Playground, a new magazine for city moms and moms-to-be, held at the DNKY Boutique during Fashion’s Night Out on Thursday in the Big Apple.

With the model, 25, due to deliver her son in the next few months, has she decided on a name for her baby boy?

Not yet, Karolína says, although she’sreceiving some help from mom!

“I want her involved, it’s her first grandchild,” the Victoria’s Secret Angel notes. “She’s like, ‘What about Maximilian? Bruno? Sebastian? Hector? Guido?’ I always tell her I’ll put it on my list.”

So, any hints for us? Unfortunately, no.

“You’ll find out when he’s born,” teases Karolína. “We’ve narrowed it down.”

Why Are So Many People Caught Up In Celebrity Fashion Trends? By:-Gregg Hall

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:39:00 +0000

Many people follow certain celebrities and pay close attention to the fashion choices they make. In addition to wanting to know who they are dating and where they are traveling to many people also want to know what their favorite celeb is wearing as well. Some people will go as far as to try to dress just like the celebrities.

People who fall into this category of wanting to copy their favorite celebrities fashion choices have a variety of reasons for doing so. In the remainder of the article below we will go over some of the reasons that people give for this practice.

The definition of celebrity suggests that one is well known and popular and in actuality many of these people can't even lead a normal life because they can't go anywhere without being mobbed by both fans and paparazzi. If you asked them there are many celebrities who would like to change this so that they could have some semblance of a normal life. On the other side of the coin there are people who crave attention and think that if they dress like a celebrity that maybe they will get some of that attention as well although in the vast majority of cases this just isn't true.

When you see celebrities on television talk shows you see that they get many compliments on their fashion choices and in fact in a lot of cases you will see a lot of people copying their style after an appearance on a show. Since most normal people who have average lives and jobs don't get complimented in this way some actually crave it. This is why many people will watch TV fashion channels and subscribe to fashion magazines to keep up with the trends in celebrity fashion.

Some people may think that this practice of being fascinated with celeb fashion trends is unhealthy but in reality there is nothing wrong with staying informed about it. The problem is when a fan becomes so obsessed that they actually want to try to make themselves look just like the star they are adoring. In addition, just because a particular style looks good on the celebrity doesn't mean it will look good on you. I can remember when Madonna was hot when she first came out and girls were dressing in the sexy styles that she wore. Some looked good, but others should not have been making the attempt. I will leave that as is.

Another issue is that celebrities have more money that the majority of the population so they can afford to change their clothing styles more often than others. Most of us would quickly run out of money trying to keep up with all of the changes. One good thing that has come out of this is that many lower end designers such as those who create fashions for department stores are copying the styles and pricing them more affordable for the general population.

Katherine Heigl: Adoption ‘Was Going to Have to Happen’

noreply@blogger.com (Malik Asif) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 06:16:00 +0000

Alpha/Landov

The question of whether or not to have children is one that most couples will tackle early on in their relationship, but for Katherine Heigland Josh Kelley “the talk” took on a decidedly non-traditional tone.

In an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Friday, the 30-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star said that she first broached the topic of adoption with Josh before the couple were even engaged.

Noting that her sister Meg Heigl is Korean and that adopting from Korea was something she “always knew” she wanted to do, Katherine says that making her intentions “really clear” to her paramour was key. “Not everybody is down with that,” she notes. “Not everybody thinks that.”

“I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen.”

Happen, indeed! The couple will welcome their first child — a 9 ½-month-old daughter namedNaleigh — “real, real soon” after initiating her adoption “about a year ago,” according to Katherine. “The process is intense,” she notes, citing a 40-page questionnaire which covered everything from their upbringings to their respective parenting philosophies. “These are very valid questions,” Katherine points out. “You think about some of these things. You talk about some of these things but you don’t really get into the mix of it until you’re looking at these questions going, ‘Oh my God we better answer these right otherwise they won’t give us the baby.”

“It’s different, but it isn’t. It’s just as intense I’m sure to have a baby biologically because you’re going through the whole physical sort of thing of it.”

Naleigh — named “after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh” — was able to be adopted on an expedited basis because she has special needs. “They wanted to get her to us as quickly as possible,” Katherine says, explaining that the timing played a role in her decision to break the news. “I wanted to tell everybody so you don’t think I stole a Korean baby!” she laughs.

And although they haven’t met yet, mother and baby already have at least one thing in common — a birth sign! “She was actually born the day before me in November which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign,” Katherine notes. “I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life.”
