Jason Patrick Denied Rights to His Son

2013-02-21T10:05:00.000-08:00

This is a bit complicated and sad. From TMZ.

Lost Boys star Jason Patric has lost a bid to win legal visitation rights to see his son with former girlfriend Danielle Schreiber.

His case is complicated by rights governing sperm donation.

The child was allegedly conceived after the couple had broken up, when he offered to act as a 'sperm donor' on the condition that Schreiber did not seek child support or tell anyone about the arrangement.

According to TMZ, Patric, 46, made the arrangement in 2009 as he did not have any money to give her at the end of their ten year relationship.

A source told the website that he made it clear he would only provide his sperm if she accepted the conditions, and their son Gus was born in December 2009.

Then in 2011 the couple attempted a reconciliation, and by the time they broke up in May 2012 Patric had grown attached to Gus.

This led to him filing documents at a family court asking a judge to award him 50/50 custody.

But there is a law which states if an unmarried man artificially inseminates an unmarried woman with the help of a physician, he is not legally the father and has no custody rights.

The judge ruled in the case on Wednesday

according to TMZ and said that the a law states if a man donates sperm to a woman to whom he is NOT married and she's inseminated with the help of a doctor, the man has no paternity rights or claim of custody.

But all is not lost for Jason as his former lover is apparently happy to offer Jason the right to spend time with the boy voluntarily, although she objects to a judge ordering visitation.

Her case centred on her belief that the Speed 2 star should not have any legal rights to custody or visitation.

A spokesman for Patric told MailOnline as the trial began: 'We are confident that the court will agree that both parties intended to, and did agree to have this child together; that Ms. Schreiber has publicly acknowledged Mr Patric as the father and that his custodial rights will be upheld.

'The court has already denied Ms Schreiber’s request to dismiss the lawsuit on the allegation that Mr Patric is merely a “sperm donor.”

When Elizabeth announced the good news in March, she told TMZ: 'In life there are moments you cherish forever and this is one of them.

2012-05-24T10:52:00.000-07:00

Jason Hoppy and daughter Bryn surprised Bethany Frankel with a bouquet of flowers at Fred Segal on Melrose after she made a TV appearance yesterday.

Today she looked as though she didn't have a care in the world, despite having a few odd facial expressions to pull, as she appeared on Extra at The Grove in Hollywood with Mario Lopez.

RadarOnline is reporting that he couple signed a prenup before their wedding, and that there were slight changes to it after the big day.

Bethenny and Jason have both consulted divorce lawyers, according to Star magazine, who wrote: 'They are going to get a divorce … it’s imminent.'

In high spirits: Frankel has set her sights on divorce, according to reports, and a move to LA, but looked happy with her husband today

'Bethenny wasn't going to get married without a prenup, to protect both herself and Jason,' a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.

'She has watched plenty of her friends over the years get divorced and has always vowed to never end up dependent on a man for financial stability or security.

'The prenup clearly outlines that ALL of Bethenny's business deals, endorsements, Skinnygirl, are hers, period.

'The prenup was modified after the couple got married, but Skinnygirl is and always will be Bethenny's, and Jason waived any rights to it.

'Bethenny had just started dating Jason when Skinnygirl was in the beginning stages. Skinnygirl was sold to Jim Beam after the pair got married and this is when the prenup was modified, but Bethenny still has an active role with the company.'

Beaming as she carried the little girl in her baby carrier, Katherine gave a glimpse of her daughter's face as she headed into the restaurant.

Katherine has been very vocal on her thoughts about adoption, insisting there is nothing she likes more than being able to offer a home to an otherwise disadvantaged child.

She said: 'My feeling about adoption is, Why not? There's nothing about it that makes it any less meaningful of a relationship in my mind.

'My husband and I wanted to have a baby, and to us it didn't matter how it happened. Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.'

Mayim Bailik Slams Time Magazine's Attachment Parenting Cover for Causing Competition Among Mothers

2012-05-21T12:57:00.001-07:00

Actress Mayim Bailik has slammed the recent Time magazine over its attachment parenting cover.

The 36-year-old mother of two, who breastfeeds her three-year-old son Fred, told Anderson Cooper that the magazine's cover has encouraged mothers to be critical of one another.

Dr Bailik tells Cooper on a new episode of Anderson which airs later today: 'Time magazine has made this a competition, "are you mom enough?" None of us [attachment parents] feel that way.'

Scroll down for video

The magazine's cover, which had featured the headline Are You Mom Enough?, had showed Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26-year-old mother from Los Angeles, breastfeeding her almost four-year-old son.

Dr Bialik, who is an attachment parenting advocate and also stars on the TV series The Big Bang Theory, added that the controversial method is extremely misunderstood.

'I think a lot of people hear this term and think a lot of things, that there's some attachment parenting police, that if you have a c-section, you're out.

'If you don't breastfeed, you're out... it's simply not that.'

She was joined on the talk show by fellow actress Rebecca Romijn, who was also quizzed about the parenting technique.

Romijn, a mother of two who does not practice attachment parenting, said it sounds 'exhausting' to her.

She said: 'Because you don't get a break in attachment parenting, your child is always around.

'As a mom, you have to make sure you're happy for your children to be happy and you have to make sure your husband or your partner is happy so your children can see that.'

Dr Bialik argued that parenting is exhausting 'any way you cut it. I think it's erroneous to assume that people who participate in attachment parenting don't also believe that.

We may believe it differently and it may look differently... it may not look like weekends away with my husband a month after my baby is born, it may not look like I'm at the spa and out with my girlfriends.'

Romijn, who is married to actor Jerry O'Connell, shot back at Dr Bialik: 'Well, I've never done any of that either.'

She added that some elements of attachment parenting frightened her.

The technique involves parents co-sleeping with their children in order to ensure their safety throughout the night.

Romijn said: 'That was always my biggest fear, my giant husband, who doesn't miss a second of sleep, rolling over my baby.'

Cooper added that some doctors believes there is the technique could lead to sudden infant death syndrome also.

But Dr Bialik, who wrote the book titled Beyond The Sling: A Real-Life Guide To Raising Confident, Loving Children The Attachment Parenting Way, argued that 'that doesn't happen.'

'The notion is sleeping near a child safely, whether that's sharing a bed surface safely or having them near you. It make sense, it facilitates breastfeeding.'

She gave further insight into the life of her children; Fred and Miles, six.

She told Cooper: 'We have two beds on the floor next to each other. Honestly there is a natural desire for independence at night that does come.'

Comparing the feelings to those of a romantic couple, she added: 'Most adults you know do not want to sleep alone, it's not normal, it is normal to want to be close to someone who loves you at night.

'There's nothing weird about it.'

Charlize Theron & Baby Jackson Out in Madrid

2012-05-18T14:57:00.003-07:00

Charlize Theron has says she never planned on becoming a single mother.

The Oscar-winning actress - whose baby Jackson was born in her native South Africa in March - had always thought about adopting but never contemplated doing it without a man in her life.

The actress, 36 told Australian magazine Madison: 'You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.'

She added: 'I always knew I would adopt. Always.'

Charlize is currently promoting her new film Snow White and the Huntsman in Spain and was spotted today on an off-duty outing in Madrid with her son.

The start has always been open about her desire to adopt, saying in 2011: 'I'm open to everything in life. I want a baby. If it would happen tomorrow I would be very happy.'

Charlize split from her partner boyfriend of 9 years, Stuart Townsend, in 2010.

But the 36-year-old screen beauty won't be getting hitched any time soon as she thinks marriage is nothing more than a ceremony.

She said: 'It has never been that important to me. I don't know why exactly. Some might say it's because my parents didn't have a good marriage, but I don't think so. I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.'

Alanis Morisette Talks Attachment Parenting

2012-05-18T14:53:00.004-07:00

Alanis Morissette has revealed she still breastfeeds her 16-month-old son Ever Imre and has no plans to stop any time soon.

The 37-year-old singer - who is married to Mario 'Souleye' Treadway - believes attachment parenting is important for her child's well-being.

'I'm an attachment parent. I breastfeed and I'll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans.

'I think it affords the child, when he grows up, to have a lot less therapy to go to. For me, I protect his safety and his well-being and his attachment. That stage of development is a very important stage.'

Attachment parenting has received much attention in recent weeks thanks to a TIME magazine cover which featured a young mother breast-feeding a child nearly four.

Alanis tells Access Hollywood: 'We're definitely skin-on-skin connected as much as possible.'

However, despite her dedication to attachment parenting - which encourages constant contact between parent and child - the Ironic hitmaker insists it doesn't stop her finding the time to be intimate with her husband.

She said: 'He's a very robust virile man. You gotta take care of your husband.'

Alanis recently revealed she installed a recording studio in her home when working on her new album Havoc And Bright Lights because she didn't want to be too far away from her son.

Talking about the album, she said: 'To be honest I wrote it post-partum the whole few months after my son was born, so I barely remember the process.

'It was in our home, and we built a makeshift studio in what is now the playroom because I'm an attachment parent, so I wanted to be able to breastfeed.

'So it was literally in and out of this room, writing, recording, being a mom, back and forth in my house. I barely remember it and I wouldn't say I was letting loose, but I was having fun.'

Forgoing the trend for overtight bodycon clothing during pregnancy, Kourtney took a more relaxed attitude to her wardrobe as she shopped for baby clothes at chic store Bel Bambini.

Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner reportedly threw a lavish pink-themed baby shower for daughter Kourtney, who is expecting a little girl next month with partner Scott Disick, over the weekend.

A source told Life & Style magazine: 'Kourtney's shower was so nice! Her mom and sisters were there, of course.

'They talked, laughed, and played games. There was a bar and lots of different types of foods and desserts, including sushi and little sandwiches. She seemed happy and excited earlier in the day before the shower.

'There were about 90 people at 10 tables.'

2012-05-17T14:32:00.001-07:00

Little Agnes, who celebrates her first birthday later this month, was prepped for the warm weather in a sunhat and floral dress as she was carried by her actress mother.

Jennifer went for a relaxed yet stylish look as she teamed her long-sleeved top with peach-coloured trousers, round sunglasses and blue and tan sandals.

Meanwhile Paul certainly looked like he was sporting his summer wardrobe in cream trousers and slip-on shoes.

The couple are there to attend a special screening of Jennifer’s 1984 movie Once Upon a Time in America.

Jennifer made her big screen debut aged 13 in the movie, which also starred Robert De Niro and Elizabeth McGovern.

The original version of the gangster epic was 269 minutes but the film was cut to 139 minutes before release.

28 years later, the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival will screen the original version in all its glory.

Jennifer’s latest film Virginia will hit cinemas tomorrow after premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2010.

She plays a psychologically disturbed single mother struggling to raise her son Emmett – played by Harrison Gilbertson - and the pair long to escape from their small Southern town.

Emmett goes on to get romantically involved with Emma Robert’s character, who just happens to be the daughter of Tipton, played by Ed Harris.

Hilary Duff Works Off the Baby Weight in Beverly Hills

2012-05-17T14:22:00.000-07:00

The former Lizzie McGuire actress has been sticking to SoulCycle's indoor cycling classes since giving birth to son Luca in March.

However, Hilary told Us Weekly earlier this year that she was adopting a new approach to losing her baby weight compared to some of her fellow celebrity mothers who snap back into shape just days after giving birth.

She said: 'I just started about a week ago at SoulCycle and I'm addicted to it.

'It's a great workout and it's perfect because it's only forty-five minutes -- where else can you sweat like that in forty-five minutes?'

'I'm working out because I honestly missed it during my pregnancy - getting in that good, hard workout.

'I need endorphins in my life to be a happy person.

'I want my body back but I'm not freaked out or anything - just working out and trying to eat a little bit healthier.'

Baby Luca is Hilary's first child with husband Mike Comrie. And earlier this month, Hilary shared a picture of her growing little boy as she celebrated Mother's Day.

'Me and my beautiful boy,' she wrote alongside the snap which she posted on Twitter.

'So much to be thankful for.'

In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently, Hilary said she can notice little Luca growing and learning every day.

She said: 'Every single day, it seems like there's a new face that they're making. He started to smile about a week ago and that's the coolest experience. It's all good.

'What is to come is such an amazing journey and a lot of work. It's just like the best thing that's every happened to you.'

Jessica Alba & Baby Haven at Kitson Kids

2012-05-17T14:17:00.001-07:00

Little Haven was treated to a shopping trip at Kitson Kids with famous mummy Jessica Alba - and the actress had splurged on so many gifts she needed help looping her bags onto her wrist.

As the mother-of-two struggled to hold her growing nine-month-old, a strawberry blonde helper was on hand to put the abundance of goodies on Jessica's arm.

The 31-year-old devoted her attention to her infant, but three-year-old Honor was also out to play.

The toddler was driving a yellow car around Jessica's feet, wearing an adorable blue T-shirt with the slogan 'Follow Your Heart' on the back with a cupid's arrow through it.

Jessica, meanwhile, looked typically chic in flared jeans and white shirt, teamed with a floral jacket.

Haven could well be quite the hungry little thing as she was still wearing her bib in preparation of an impromptu feeding time on the move.

The Sin City star recently revealed she prefers to opt for a more wholesome image, after she was left feeling 'objectified' by her sex kitten status after starring in Dark Angel, aged just 19.

Speaking to Marie Claire about her former vampy image, Jessica said: 'Right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed.

'I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected... I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!'

Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky & Baby India Out in London

2012-05-17T14:12:00.001-07:00

She was only born last Friday but today India Rose enjoyed a day out in London with her famous father Chris Hemsworth.

The 28-year-old actor and his wife Elsa Pataky ventured out for a walk today but rather than push a pram, the Australian star kept his baby daughter close to him by holding her in his arms.

The blonde movie star appears to be a natural at fatherhood and looked happy and relaxed as he strolled with his family.

Dressed casually in grey jeans, a matching T-shirt and a navy blue jacket, Hemsworth was clearly feeling the cold British weather.

Pataky looked fantastic despite only giving birth five days ago and wore a tiny pair of black shorts, matching tights and peep-toe heels.

She kept warm in nude-coloured leather jacket and also wore a pair of sunglasses as she adjusts to motherhood.

The blonde couldn't keep the smile off her face as the threesome strolled through a park, and she took a sneak peak at her daughter beneath the blanket.

Her husband was no doubt relishing in the fact that he was able to spend some proper quality time with the two females in his life following a hectic week of promoting his latest film, Snow White and the Huntsman.

Earlier this week, the actor kept his sunglasses firmly on as he arrived at London's Battersea Heliport after jetting in from Sussex, where a press conference for the fairytale film had taken place earlier in the day.

Hemsworth clutched several bags as he climbed out of the helicopter, looking in good spirits, if a little tired as he lifted up his glasses, as he headed inside the heliport.

The actor and wife Elsa welcomed daughter India into the world on Friday in London.

Talking about their choice of name for the little girl, Hemsworth told E! News: 'It was just a name we liked, I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she liked India.

'We sort of went, "Oh well, whether it's a boy or girl, that will decide." It just seemed to fit.'

He added: 'I've wanted to have kids for a long time, and here it is, and I couldn't be happier.'

And while the actor's personal life is going from strength to strength, the same can be said for his career too.

As well as appearing alongside Kristen Stewart in Snow White And The Huntsman, Hemsworth can also currently be seen reprising his role as Norse God Thor in Marvel's Avengers Assemble.

The movie, which boasts an all-star cast including Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson, has made box office history by taking $1billion worldwide after a record second weekend.

Real Housewives of OC Vicki Gunvalson's Daughter Briana is Pregnant

2012-05-15T11:37:00.002-07:00

Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson looks set to be a grandmother for the first time.

Her daughter Briana, who eloped in Las Vegas last year, is said to be expecting her first child.

'Briana is pregnant and just about four months along,' a source tells Us Weekly.

The 24-year-old nurse, who also appears on the show, shocked her mother by secretly tying the knot with her military boyfriend Ryan Culberson last October.

'When she told me she and Ryan had got married in Vegas I felt like I was in a dream, or more like a nightmare,' she wrote on her Bravo blog earlier this month.

'I had only met Ryan one time before and that was before he went on duty.'

The businesswoman thought her daughter may have rushed into marrying Ryan because she was vulnerable after undergoing thyroid surgery last year after a cancer scare.

When Vicki announced her Brianna's marriage to her Real Housewives friends on the show, she recoiled when some suggested her daughter might be pregnant.

'I'm not ready to be a grandmother just yet,' she said on screen.

But sources tell Us Weekly that Vicki is now 'very excited' about the baby news.

Briana is Vicki's daughter from her first marriage to Michael Wolfsmith. They also have a son Michael, 25.

Vicki divorced her second husband Donn in 2010 and she is now in a relationship with Brooks Ayers.

Bryce Dallas Howard and Daughter Beatrice Take a Stroll

2012-05-15T11:33:00.002-07:00

The Help's Bryce Dallas Howard enjoyed a sunshine stroll with her baby daughter Beatrice over Mother's Day weekend.

The actress, who welcomed her second child with husband Seth Gabel on January 19, opted for comfort in loose blue sweat pants, a stripped zip-up hoodie and moccasins.

The 31-year-old cuddled her newborn, who was dressed in a pretty pink outfit and cream beanie, on the afternoon outing.

The Spider Man 3 star has been nesting since the birth and it was the first time she has been seen in public.

Bryce has talked openly about her struggle with post-partum depression following the arrival of her eldest child, Theo, 5.

In an essay for Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP blog, she wrote: 'Before Theo was born, I had been in good humour about my 80-pound weight gain, but I was now mortified by it.

'I felt I was failing at breast feeding. My house was a mess.

'I believed I was a terrible dog owner. I was certain I was an awful actress,' she revealed in the heartfelt confession.

But she said she overcame her depression with the help of friends and family, including her famous father, Hollywood director Ron Howard.

'Do I wish I had never endured postpartum depression? Absolutely,' wrote Howard.

'I...feel deep gratitude for those who stood by me, for the lesson that we must never be afraid to ask for help.'

Bryce is famous for her role as uptight housewife Hilly Holbrook in the acclaimed adaptation of The Help and her other film credits include The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and The Village.

Katherine Heigl Adopts a Second Daughter

2012-05-15T11:29:00.004-07:00

The 33-year-old actress and her musician beau debuted their baby girl for the first time over the weekend.

However, the married couple's new little bundle of joy was all wrapped up and resting in her baby capsule as her new parents and three-year-old sister Naleigh stepped out to celebrate Mother's Day.

The former Grey's Anatomy star and husband Josh adopted Naleigh from South Korea in 2009 when she was 10-months-old.

Recently Katherine admitted she thought she had failed as a mother when she failed to bond with her.

The actress said her daughter’s initial rejection almost broke her heart as she struggled to cope.

She said she threw herself into work but found being apart from Naleigh only made the situation worse.

'At first I blamed myself and thought I was a bad mother. It took a while before I could admit to myself that the lack of trust had nothing to do with me,' she said.

The actress expected to bond with her daughter immediately - but was upset when she was rejected and described the months that followed as the 'hardest time in my life.'

'I fought incredibly hard for my daughter to accept me as mother.

'Her rejection almost broke my heart,' she told a German newspaper.
