Country singer Mindy McCready, 36, made headlines for something other than a DUI or a drunken fight last week when she kidnapped her five year-old son, Zander, from the care of his legal guardian, Mindy’s mother. Instead of returning the boy after a scheduled visit last week, Mindy fled from Florida to Tennessee and then Arkansas. A missing person’s report went out for Zander and a court order was issued for him to be returned to his grandmother last Thursday. Mindy claimed she didn’t do anything wrong because her son was her property. She said “I did not steal my child, as it would be impossible for me to kidnap what already belongs to me! There never was any missing persons report and never an Amber Alert.” There was definitely a missing person’s report but that didn’t seem to faze Mindy. Also, she claimed she couldn’t return Zander since she was either five or seven months pregnant with twins, depending on which outlet she was talking to. Well all that is over now because authorities found Mindy and Zander at her boyfriend’s home in Arkansas. When cops stormed the home, Mindy and the boy were hiding in a closet. Is anyone else getting Elian Gonzales flashbacks? Zander has been taken into custody and will be returned to his grandmother shortly.

Country music singer Mindy McCready was hiding in the closet with her son when authorities took the 5-year-old boy into custody in Arkansas, officials said early Saturday.

Authorities found Zander McCready and his mother in a home in Heber Springs, Arkansas, according to David Rahbany, the chief deputy U.S. Marshal in eastern Arkansas.

“The child appeared to be in good condition when we found him … he was in the closet with his mother,” Rahbany said.

Local sheriffs and marshals had placed the home — believed to belong to the singer’s boyfriend — under surveillance for hours before they found the boy late Friday, he said.

The boy is in the custody of the Arkansas Division of Children and Family Services, who will make arrangements to take him to his legal guardian in Florida, his maternal grandmother.

Until recently, the boy has been living with Mindy McCready’s mother and stepfather, Gayle and Michael Inge, who have legal custody. The singer, who has fought a public battle against drug addiction, has visitation rights.

McCready took her son from her mother’s Florida home late last month and asked a court to restore custody to her out of concern over the boy’s safety.

A Florida judged signed an emergency “pickup order” Thursday authorizing law enforcement officers to get the boy.

McCready’s mother and stepfather said they are relieved.

“We feel sorrow for Zander because he’s traumatized, and for Mindy,” they said. “We just hope she does the right thing from here on out and that this is a wake-up call for her.”

McCready was not charged with a crime Friday, Rahbany said, adding it is unclear whether she faces any future charges.

What an awful thing to do, and to put your child through. That kid is going to be upset and confused, and for the rest of his life he’ll remember being taken away by cops from his mom while she clung to him in a closet. Mindy doesn’t care though, because Zander is her property! He’s not a vulnerable little kid who needs love and guidance, he’s something she owns. It’s obvious why she doesn’t have custody of him. I hope authorities keep a close eye on those twins she claims to be having, but hopefully she’s lying about that too.

People has a new article chronicling Mindy’s problems through the years. She’s been a mess for a long time.

Most of these photos are from Facebook and I think that’s her current boyfriend. One photo below credit: WENN

Widdle Justin Bieber, 17, got grounded by his moms for buying a $160k car. The little dude already owns a custom Cadillac “Batmobile” and a Ferrari, and apparently the tricked out Range Rover he just bought made his mom so mad that she told him that he has to have adult supervision while driving up until he’s 18. That will put a damper on his relationship with Selena Gomez.

Justin Bieber has had his driver’s license suspended – by his overprotective mom! The teen pop star’s driving privileges shifted into neutral after his mom, Pattie Mallette, grounded him for splurging on a $160,000 custom-made hot-rod!

“Pattie blew a gasket when she learned about Justin’s wild spending spree,” a source disclosed. “As a result, she is forbidding him from driving until he turns 18, unless he’s accompanied by an adult chaperon.”

During a recent visit to England, the 17 year-old… singer reportedly treated himself to a customized “Project Kahn” Range Rover, complete with a souped-up Cosworth engine, custom paint job and a sound system worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The underage hot-rodder already owns a Batman-themed customized Cadillac and a Ferrari…

“Pattie is trying to get Justin’s wild spending under control,” added the source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, December 5, 2011]

Well at least someone is putting their foot down with this kid. He’s going to be a legal adult soon enough, and he needs to keep his spending in check if he doesn’t want to go the MC Hammer route. We’ve heard plenty of stories about his overspending, which of course is relative given his worth. It seems like whenever I got to the store there are new products with Bieber’s baby face inexplicably blazoned on them. When I was in Target yesterday there was only one $8 Bieber Christmas ornament left and I swear I saw a Bieber toothbrush at CVS.

Meanwhile Bieber’s paternity suit sort-of rages on. Bieber’s accuser Mariah Yeater has shown herself to be less than credible, and now her lawyers are unsurprisingly trying to delay the case. They’re insisting that Bieber take a second DNA test to ensure that the chain of command is followed. Yeater’s ex boyfriend (not the one she smacked on the face while confronting him about paternity last year, that was a different guy) thinks he’s the baby’s father and is insisting on taking a paternity test too. Last week TMZ published text messages from Yeater in which she called him (the second ex boyfriend) the father of her baby.

Oh and Bieber forgot the lyrics to Santa Claus is Coming to Town while he was performing it on The Today Show last week. At about 1:00 in to the video below he forgets the very simple lyrics to “He’s making a list he’s checking it twice,” and then stops and launches into the refrain. Poor Justin, he probably missed rehearsal because he didn’t have a ride.

Last night Charlie Sheen and his ex wife Brooke Mueller played happy families for Entertainment Tonight with their twin two and a half year-old boys, Bob and Max. Brooke was high as a freaking kite and could barely speak while Charlie was maintainin’ and acting somewhat normal, for him. I always find it amusing when people are totally wasted on TV and everyone around them is acting like there’s nothing wrong and seems to be ignoring the problem. That’s the appeal of Kim Richards on RHOBH, and Brooke Mueller is basically the same – slurry, barely functioning, and struggling to explain basic concepts. It would have been funny if these clowns didn’t have two little boys with them who think of them as parents. I guess there are always nannies and adult film star mistresses to serve as sober caregivers.

Here’s what Brooke and Charlie said, but to get the full effect you should watch the video on ET’s website. (Their segment is at 12:00 into this video.) Notice that when Brooke calls Charlie a good dad, she immediately starts talking about how he just bought her a house with a tennis court. She’s been in rehab umpteen times and it obviously hasn’t worked for her. Charlie is still pretty wasted too.

Charlie: These guys [Bob and Max] have nothing to do with whatever. It’s not their fault but they do deserve the benefit of two parents in their life.

We’re friends and we’re co-parents and that’s what we decided is the most important thing.

Brooke: Charlie and I are so blessed and fortunate to have such amazing kids, and that’s really the glue that holds our friendship and relationship together…

He’s an amazing father. He’s amazing with the kids ’cause he teaches them sports, plays baseball with them. In fact he just bought me a house, well for the boys, and it has huge tennis courts with lights and everything.

There’s a selfless nature about her and that’s the only way you can really be available for your children is to be compassionate and be selfless.

They go on about co-parenting, but I’m really just reporting this so that I can share these screengrabs of Brooke’s crazy face. Charlie was wasted too, but he hid it better. I think that Brooke and Charlie get along when they’re both really high on whatever. Again it would be funny if they didn’t have kids. I hope that Charlie’s ex Denise Richards steps in and tries to be an influence in Max and Bob’s lives. They need more sober adults around. Also, those boys are adorable.

Charlie is currently working on the film A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III . Brooke recently sold the home that she used to share with Charlie in Los Feliz that was left to her in the divorce.

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte with her daughters Phoenix Chi, Angel and a friend on 5-16-10. Credit: WENN.com

Remember when Britney Spears refused to hand her kids over for their regular visit with their dad in early 2008, and was subsequently hauled off to the hospital on a 5150 hold? She was violating a court order and acting erratically and there was a standoff of several hours with police. Something similar happened earlier this month during a visit between Scary Spice Mel B’s 12 year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, and her dad, Mel’s first husband Jimmy Gulzar, 42. Gulzar refused to let Phoenix leave his home and Mel’s current husband, Stephen Belafonte, called the cops after a few hours. Phoenix claims Gulzar of grabbing her by the arm to keep her there, and she subsequently filed a report with police accusing him of battery.

FORMER Spice Girl Mel B is furious at ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar after he allegedly held their daughter Phoenix Chi captive during a custody visit.

The distraught 12-year-old has filed a police complaint accusing Gulzar, 42, of battery.

She claims she feared for her safety after he grabbed her arm and refused to let her leave his LA home.

Sources close to Mel, 36 – real name Melanie Brown – said the schoolgirl was so afraid she considered climbing over a balcony to escape.

She was finally allowed to go after Mel’s current husband, Stephen Belafonte – who had arrived to collect her – called the cops.

Sources close to Mel, who is currently in Sydney filming the Australian X Factor, said she was “disgusted and appalled” by Gulzar’s alleged behaviour.

Police have taken a full statement from Phoenix and are due to speak to Scary Spice Mel about the events leading up to the incident on October 10.

This is the same guy who spanked a three year-old autistic boy at the playground at the zoo when the boy pushed another child (presumably Pheonix) in 2002. Gulzar was also arrested two years prior, in 2000, when he refused to hand over Phoenix to Mel’s sister. I guess when he was married to Mel for all of 14 months he loved to spend her money – the Mirror says his nickname was “Jimmy Goldcard.” She also had to pay him a settlement of about 1.9 million dollars.

We heard some similarly negative stories about Mel’s current husband being abusive, but he seems to treat her and her daughters well as far as we can tell. They’re also still together after rumors last year that they were just about to get a divorce. Mel just had her third daughter, her first with Stephen, Madison Brown Belafonte on September 1. She was just named the new Jenny Craig ambassador in Australia and New Zealand.

Those of you who read us regularly know that I love Hugh Jackman. I just think he’s a genuinely nice guy and super hot to boot. My admiration of Hugh crept up on me. While I’ve had crushes on other celebrities like Matt Damon and Johnny Depp forever, Hugh earned my fangirl status from his actions and interviews. Anyway here’s another reason to love Hugh. In a new interview with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, the 42 year-old actor opens up about how he and his wife of 15 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, struggled with infertility before deciding to adopt. They are now parents to son Oscar, 11, and daughter Ava, six. Hugh describes it as very difficult to get to the point of adopting, but ultimately rewarding. He also sees the adoption of his two children as fated. It’s touching the way he explains it.

The 42-year-old star is married to wife Deborra-Lee Furness and they have two adopted children – Oscar, 11, and Ava, six.

He spoke to Australia’s Herald Sun about the moment they discovered they weren’t able to have children naturally.

He said: ‘It was painful. It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional.

‘I think any parent can relate – trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.’

He added: ‘We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption.’

However the couple soon moved on with their plans to become parents.

Jackman said: ‘From the moment we started the adoption process, all the anxiety went away. I don’t think of them as adopted – they’re our children.

‘Deb and I are believers in I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to. Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children.

‘Now, as we go through life together, sure there are challenges, but everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.’

[From The Daily Mail]

That’s so nice! Hugh and Deborra have been open about this issue, and are involved in several adoption charities. I found this moving interview with Deborra from 2004, before their second child was adopted. She said she’d had two miscarriages before they decided to adopt Oscar. Back when Oscar’s mother was pregnant and Deborra and Hugh were meeting with her about adopting the baby, Deborra thinks she was given a sign that he was meant to be their son. She described how she was in an airplane and saw a lightning storm over Iowa, where his birth mother is from. Here’s that part:

“And I kept saying to Hugh when we were in discussions early on. I said I havn’t got a message yet, I’m waiting for a message. And I was on a flight from Los Angeles to Toronto where Hugh was shooting X-Men 1, I think it was, and I was sitting on this flight and I looked out the window and there was this incredible electric storm outside the window and it was so beautiful, I was just staring at it and I said to the guy sitting next to me, “Wow, look at that, it’s amazing, where are we, and he said I think we’re somewhere over Iowa,” And I, I knew that that was the birth mother I had been speaking to and I grabbed the stewardess and I said do you know where we are and she said oh come up here and took me up to the pilot’s cabin it was before September 11, and went in there and I said where are we? And he said, see down there, there’s Cedar Rapids, and tears started to roll down my face and I knew that was my message. And I loved it, it was like it wasn’t a subtle message, it was like, it’s me already, it’s like this huge electrical storm.”

[From ABC.net.au]

I usually don’t believe in signs and messages. When people tell stories like this I find it fascinating though. I truly believe that they thought they received a sign, and that it was a sign in that way, since signs are what we make of them. (Hopefully that makes sense and doesn’t sound condescending, although it probably does.)

Hugh and Deborra sound like they’re on the exact same page when it comes to their family, and that’s very refreshing to hear, inside or outside of Hollywood.

Update: Here’s a link to a bunch of new gratuitous shirtless pictures of Hugh Jackman.

Perez Hilton was a guest on The Today Show yesterday and I have to say he came across as much nicer than he has in the past. I’ve seen several interviews with him and he’s often defensive and obnoxious. This time, maybe because he had something to promote, he seemed friendly and like he really has genuinely changed. He was still a loudmouth for sure, but I was impressed with how decent he came across. Perez is promoting his new children’s book called, I sh*t you not, The Boy With Pink Hair. It’s got a cliched plot about a fat kid who used to scrawl anonymous graffiti on the walls of school about all popular kids, until they figured out who he was and then started to mock him mercilessly. Then he lost weight and said he was sorry and tried to get accepted in their club. Or maybe it’s just another book about an outsider kid. Whatever. Didn’t Madonna already do that?

Perez claimed he’s “the perfect person to write a children’s book,” not because he’s ever had children, worked with children, babysat children, said a kind word about someone else’s child, or has any nieces or nephews. Just because he used to be an asshole and changed.

I’m the perfect person to write a children’s book because I’m somebody who made mistakes in the past, acknowledged them, and has taken steps to no longer do that and I think that’s a great message for children.

In the past I was definitely meaner, nasty, give people unpleasant nicknames, draw lots of nice things on photos. But then, last year there were all these gay teenagers who were committing suicide… A lot of people were calling me a hypocrite and a bully myself. That’s not who I am in my heart.

They next showed some illustrations from the book, which were done by a professional illustrator and don’t feature crude penis drawings. Perez explained that “there’s a great message in it for parents about being accepting of your kids no matter how they are.” Kathy Lee clarified that “This is not a gay book, it’s not about your sexual orientation. It’s just about being uniquely different.”

Then Perez chimed in with “Everybody’s different, unless you’re Reese Witherspoon or Taylor Swift, who everybody loves.”

I believe that he’s changed for whatever reason, but I see it more as a public persona choice than a genuine personal awakening. It’s still really tough to buy that this guy is now putting out a children’s book. Even if you just look at the other books he’s released and aren’t that familiar with his website, there’s a mismatch there to say the least. It looks like he needed a new angle for a book and for his image.

I’m only seen one episode of “Toddlers and Tiaras” on TLC, but the clips I’ve seen online and on The Soup have been outrageous. There are mothers who shave their daughter’s legs, get their daughter’s eyebrows waxed, and who bleach the teeth of their kindergartners while they scream in protest. This latest stunt seems less personally invasive and painful to the child, but just as inappropriate. A mom on Toddlers and Tiaras was shown dressing her four year-old in a gown and a curly blonde wig, and putting padded fake breasts and a padded butt on the child for a “Dolly Parton” costume. The mom explained that she wore the same costume as a child in pageants.

The little girls who compete in beauty pageants usually get spray tans, wear makeup and glitzy dresses, but one toddler took it to the extreme – strapping on fake boobs and a fake butt for her talent competition!

In the Toddlers & Tiaras video Maddy Jackson, 4, dresses up like country star Dolly Parton for pageants, and her mom gives her the costume complete with small fake boobs and a fake butt.

“I want to show the judges how beautiful I am,” little Maddy says. “I love dressing up like Dolly!”

“When she wears the fake boobs and fake butt it’s an added bonus,” her mom Lindsay says about the costume. “It’s really funny when she comes out on stage they think it’s hysterical. They realize not only is she Dolly but she has the added enhancements just like Dolly has.”

Some viewers have been outraged by the fake enhancements, but they’re not the ones who get to vote.

So do the pageant judges like the little girl with the grown up body?

“We tend to score really well with it,” Maddy’s mom says.

[From Radar Online]

This is definitely not ok, but it’s not as bad as the mom who insisted on waxing her crying daughter’s eyebrows, after the daughter once had the skin ripped off around her eyes from too hot wax. (The little girl’s eye area had since healed, but she was of course terrified of going through the same thing again.) So do these shows encourage child exploitation or do they just shed light on the really obnoxious goings-on behind the scenes of the tot pageant circuit? When clips like this get the most exposure, I think the answer is clear.

Colin Farrell was a guest on Letterman Friday night. I’ve been dying to report on these sexy photos of him outside the studio with his shirt half open. He looked delectable as usual, and was promoting the Fright Night remake he stars in, which is out in the US next Friday, August 19. On the show, Farrell mentioned his two boys, Henry, nearly 2, and James, 7. (Both are from previous relationships with different women, but it’s not like Farrell talked about that at all.) James has a rare genetic condition called Angelman syndrome, which is characterized by motor, intellectual and speech delays and a positive affect. Farrell has discussed his son’s condition in the past, and said that he is blessed to have him in his life. In 2007, he said “I have never thought of my son as being someone with a disability. It goes back to special needs and what is a disability and what isn’t.” On Letterman, he addressed the need for more funding to research the condition and said that a doctor has cured the condition in mice. Here’s more:

Colin Farrell appeared on Late Show With David Letterman last night to promote his upcoming movie, Fright Night, but also took a little time to give a shout out to CureAngelman.org and revealed that one of his sons has been diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome.

Colin has two sons James, 7, and Henry, almost 2, and briefly discussed his family with David Letterman.

“James, just a quick shout out if I can, James has a condition called Angelman Syndrome and it only affects one in 30,000 children, they say,” Colin said on Late Show. “So there’s not that much funding because it doesn’t benefit pharmaceutical companies, of course.”

The actor asked for anyone to help by visiting CureAngelman.org to help donate and then discussed a bit more about his son and how he was diagnosed.

“It was actually when a doctor saw how happy he was,” Colin explained. “He was like, ‘Does he always smile this much?’”

James started walking just short of his 4th birthday and doesn’t have any verbal speech, but Colin made sure to say that his boy is a “a really happy boy.”

[From OK Magazine]

For as much as Colin flits around to different women, he sure seems like a caring and devoted father. He’s also giving some invaluable attention to this cause.

Look at how shy Colin looks outside the studio with his hands crammed in his pockets. He’s doesn’t look too comfortable with the crowd. He also seemed a little nervous on the show.

Yesterday we heard advance details from Octomom Nadya Suleman’s In Touch interview. She supposedly said she hated her babies and was disgusted by them, that she often spent hours locked in her bathroom, and that she contemplated suicide. We were relying on The Daily Mail’s account of the interview, which included the quote “I hate the babies, they disgust me.” However, in the print edition which I just got ahold of, she did not say “the babies,” she simply said “I hate babies, they disgust me.” That’s quite different in that she seems to be referring to babies in general, not her octuplet babies, who turned two on January 26. The Daily Mail also suggested that Suleman is on public assistance again, and she very well may be but there is no mention of that in the article. Here are all the quotes from her In Touch article. I’ve cut out some of the filler, but her quotes are all here.

“I am utterly overwhelmed,” the mom of 14 admits to In Touch, in a painfully candid interview at her La Habra, CA home. “The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry. Sometimes I sit in there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get a moment’s peace and quiet.” She adds, “I hate babies, they disgust me…”

Meanwhile, chaos reigns outside. “My older six are animals, getting more and more out of control, because I have no time to properly discipline them…

“My last nanny just quit, and I have no idea how I am going to get us out of this situation…

“This month, I have absolutely no clue how I am paying for anything. My bank account is overdrawn by $300, and I have no money to pay for the children’s school, food or the mortgage,” says Nadya, who’s signed up for the new HDNET dating show, Celebridate – despite the fact that she’s never dated and says, “all men are perverts and pedophiles.” [Ed note: she should know]

“This is actually the first time I have dated in my life…

“I have been celibate for 12 years and before that I have only ever slept with two men: one was the sperm donor of the children and the other was an ex boyfriend.” [Ed note: she was also married]

“I have always been aware of the effect I have on men. Ever since I was little, I was aware that men wanted me – and the hardest thing was keeping them all away.” [Ed note: yeah right]

Sidebar with more quotes
“For the first year, I didn’t even bond with my octuplets; there were just too many to love.”

“Some days I have thought about killing myself. I cannot cope.”

“Obviously, I love them – but I absolutely wish I had not had them.”

“They attack and bite each other, and I just don’t know how to stop them.”

“Pretty soon, all our money will have run out. What will we do then?”

[From In Touch, print edition, July 11, 2011]

Many of you said that you heard Octomom on the Howard Stern show this week and that she sounded fine and not at all despairing as she’s made out to be in this interview. I mentioned yesterday that another new online interview with her shows her acting as if everything is ok and she’s coping, as she’s maintained all along. This woman is clearly delusional, she would have to be to get in that situation in the first place, and she also seems manic as we’ve seen in her interviews on The View and Oprah. She similarly has a very slippery relationship with the truth, and her story has changed several times. I could easily imagine her saying these things, and I doubt that she was misquoted by In Touch. Is it as dire for her as she makes it out to be? It probably is in the brief moments she faces reality, but she also seems to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now that she’s doing more media appearances and bringing in money. She says she has no nannies left, but someone must be caring for these kids if she’s going off to the east coast to do celebrity boxing tournaments. It’s probably that mother of hers that she openly despises and regularly lies to.

Radar confirms that Suleman’s house is about to go into foreclosure, as we’ve heard rumors of for the last couple of years. Only this time the bank is foreclosing on her, not the owner who sold it to her. That man seems to have felt sorry for her and to have been covering for her (after the owner of porn company Vivid paid off the $450k balloon payment she owed), but he’s thrown up his hands at this point. Nadya has a past bankruptcy and her parents last home was foreclosed on also. It was a dumb move to sell her a home in the first place, but the guy who did it is more than aware of that now. As for what she’s going to do now that her money has predictably run out, Suze Orman told her exactly what to do over six months ago and it’s clear she didn’t hear a word. TMZ reports that Suleman made $28,000 in June doing paid appearances, but you know she’ll blow through that in a month tops.

First of all, I saw the poor eight year-old with this stupid whackjob of a mother trying to speak in an interview. She couldn’t move anything but her mouth so I believe that her mom did give her Botox for whatever reason. According to Radar, it probably wasn’t for beauty pageants though, because no one can find any record of the daughter competing in anything. What’s more is that her idiot mom has also been lying about her name, where she lives and trying to hide the fact that she has another daughter.

As we heard on Monday, the woman has had her daughter removed from her home by child welfare services. Radar has the detail that the little girl is being cared for by relatives, so that’s good news in this otherwise sad story about a grifter exploiting her daughter:

In a bizarre turn of events, Kerry Campbell may have lied about giving her 8-year-old daughter Botox in a desperate attempt to get publicity.

Campbell became an instant lightning rod when she went on national television recently and said she injected her young daughter to give her an edge in pageant competitions.

“It’s beginning to look like Kerry’s claims about giving her daughter Botox injections looks like a hoax, and that Kerry is making the entire thing up for publicity. Kerry is obsessed with reality television, and wants to become famous. Child Protective Services are conducting an investigation about the Botox claims, and at this point, there is absolutely no evidence that Kerry injected Britney with Botox,” our insider tells RadarOnline.com.

Britney was removed from Kerry’s house over the weekend, as RadarOnline.com previously reported. Kerry said she was injecting Britney with Botox to help with her pageant career. “Investigators and social workers have been unable to prove that Britney has ever been in any beauty pageants. Britney is now being cared for by relatives, and is doing well,” the source says.

If Kerry made up the entire story, “she will be in some serious trouble as far as custody goes of her daughter, Britney. If she didn’t actually inject Britney with Botox, that is going to open another element to the investigation. If the mom is so obsessed with becoming famous, and putting her daughter out there like that, her motives and intentions are going to be very closely examined,” the informant stated.

There is a possibility that Kerry doesn’t live in San Francisco, but in Southern California and goes by a different name, and could have another daughter.

“CPS is trying to just establish basic facts about the case, where does Kerry live, and it appears that she has several other aliases, and she could have another younger child, another daughter. It’s very difficult to get a straight answer from her,” the source tells us.

[From Radar]

Well I hope this is true and that the Botox pictures are somehow faked, but I’m thinking that it’s hard to fake the frozen look that little child had on her face. Hopefully the creepy detail about the “virgin waxes” this creature also allegedly gives her daughter is false too.

What I want to know is how this woman can call herself an aesthetician when she has a mustache like that. She can score Botox without a problem but she can’t manage to wax her hairlip. (Surgiwax for the win!)

Update: According to a sworn declaration, this woman claims she was was paid by British tabloid The Sun to make up this whole story about giving her daughter Botox and “virgin waxes,” and when she was approached by American media she continued to lie in order to get paid for her photos and interviews. She claims that a medical source has certified that her daughter, who has never competed in any beauty pageants, is Botox free.
