Johnny Depp calls daughter’s hospitalization the “darkest moment”

top-montblancheader.jpg

Johnny Depp has finally talked about his daughter Lily-Rose’s hospitalization last year. She was rushed to the emergency room and nearly died according to many sources. Production was halted on the set of Depp’s movie “Sweeny Todd” so that Depp could stay with his daughter. Though he and girlfriend Vanessa Paradis haven’t officially disclosed what sent Lilly-Rose to the hospital, several sources said she was suffering from sent Lilly-Rose to the hospital, several sources said she was suffering from Lily-Rose blood poisoning after stepping on a rusty tack. Celebitchy noted: “According to In Touch’s website (no permalink available) ‘Blood poisoning… spread through her body and has affected her vital organs’,’ and one of her kidneys was failing, although that no longer seems to be the case. She is said to be doing much better now according to Johnny Depp’s rep.” Depp talked with Entertainment Weekly about nearly losing his daughter.

Johnny Depp says his 8-year-old daughter is now healthy and well following her hospitalization earlier this year. “Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration,” the 44-year-old actor tells Entertainment Weekly in its Nov. 9 issue. “Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything.”

Lily-Rose, the daughter of Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis, was admitted to a British hospital to receive treatment for an undisclosed ailment about three weeks after Depp started work on “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” Tim Burton’s adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical about a murderous barber.

“To say it was the darkest moment, that’s nothing,” Depp tells the magazine. “It doesn’t come close to describing it. Words are so small. But knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited … I didn’t know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, `Maybe you need to recast.’ Once we were given the all-clear, I had to dive back into the work,” he says. “I had to get back in there for Tim.”

[From the Associated Press]

It’s great the Depp has his priorities straight. He knew the only thing that mattered was being there for his daughter, and understood that his work didn’t really compare in importance. It’s also great of Tim Burton not to have recast Depp’s role. The early buzz on “Sweeny Todd” is that it will be great – but then again most Tim Burton stuff is. There was some gossip floating around for a while that Depp and Paradis were finally going to marry, nothing seems to have come of it. They seem to be a pretty secure family unit. It sounds like Lily-Rose has made a complete recovery, so congrats to them all.

Reese and Jake take her kids trick or treating

top-asg-007935.jpg

I think I’m one of the only people around that isn’t skeptical about Jake Gyllenhaal’s sexuality; but then again I’m adorably naive that way. Just because he hangs out with a lot of men? Don’t most guys have a lot of guy friends? Okay he does have an affinity for bicycle shorts, but it’s not like he wears them to dinner or anything. That I know of. I don’t think their romance is manufactured, but I do find it odd that they appeared to go to great lengths to hide it, and then all of a sudden went public when their movie came out. Massively coincidental, but whatever. From what’s reported about Reese and Jake, they both seem like pretty similar personalities: nice if a bit “Type A.”

Jake supposedly really wants to be a dad and loves Reese’s kids. During those initial rumblings of a relationship several months ago, I remember reading that he was actually being a bit too parental towards Reese’s kids. But they seem to have established some sort of relationship that works: the two of them took her kids trick or treating last night, and seem to have a cute (almost too cute) relationship with her kids.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had another PDA-packed public date Wednesday, taking Witherspoon’s two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, trick or treating in L.A.’s Brentwood neighborhood. Witherspoon, 31, dressed as a witch; Gyllenhaal, 26, an ape. “They were holding hands and swinging them in the air as they walked around the neighborhood,” adds a witness, who says Gyllenhaal often lifted up his gorilla mask to smooch his Rendition co-star. “Reese was laughing at everything Jake was saying.”

As Ava (also in witch wardrobe) and Deacon (dressed as a super hero) ran up to every door for treats, “Reese and Jake waited on the sidewalk and flirted,” the onlooker tells Usmagazine.com. They even started to act like a pair of giddy kids themselves. “Jake tapped Reese on the butt and then she hit him back — they began running a circle hitting each other!” the witness says. “Then Jake picked Reese up off her feet and she screamed.”

Gyllenhaal seemed to play it cool during his first public outing with Witherspoon’s children. “Jake ran up to Deacon with the gorilla mask and pretended to scare him!” the onlooker says. “Deacon laughed.” He also had a few scares for Witherspoon. Adds the witness, “Sometimes he came up from behind and nuzzled his big hairy mask into her neck.”

[From US Weekly]

Ahh, I remember the first time a guy came up from behind me and nuzzled his big hairy… wait, no. Never mind. It’ll be interesting to see if this all pans out. The story seems a little contrived, but it’s hard to tell if that’s just due to the “family friendly” writing style, or if it really was a little hackneyed. They do seem a little too perfectly arranged, but people have said that about both of them seperately for years, so it makes sense that it would apply to them as a couple, too.

Are Halloween costumes for little girls too slutty?


In 2002 there was a big controversy over tween-sized thong underwear at Abercrombie, the younger division of Abercrombie and Fitch, featuring suggestive phrases such as “Wink Wink” and “Eye Candy.” Now it seems that skanky outfits for young girls aged 9-12 are a much more common and accepted part of American culture. Toys like Bratz and shows like Hannah Montana and High School Musical encourage tweens to embrace consumerism and dress fashionable and sexy

Halloween is no exception, with costumes for the under 13-set getting more sexy and revealing. Outfits that used to be reserved for adult role play are now perfectly acceptable costumes for young girls. Is this too much too soon for young girls, or just a natural progression of dress up? It’s funny when adult women dress as sexy pirates, sexy witches, and sexy devils, but it’s disturbing when 9 year-old girl does it.

There’s a “Yahoo! Answers” question that asks “Do you think Halloween costumes for kids and teenagers are too provocative these days?” My favorite answer comes from shallytally: “Barbie hooker is adorable and teaches commerce at an early age.”

Here are some pictures of the more suggestive outfits. Do you have a daughter around that age and would you let her dress like this? Would she insist on wearing an outfit like this? Sometimes I’m all too glad I have a little boy. It’s sad that kids are being sexualized like this, but if it makes someone money, they’ll figure out a way to create it, even if its not in the best interest of our children.

Thanks to Newsweek for the background and idea for this article. Most of the costumes shown here were mentioned in that article.

Actress Hunter Tylo’s son drowns

top-sgg-071554.jpg

Hunter Tylo, 45, the cosmetically over-enhanced actress who is one of the stars of “The Bold and the Beautiful” and was a cast member (though she never filmed any scenes) of “Melrose Place” - lost her son yesterday. Michael Tylo Jr. was 19, and drowned in a pool in the evening.

The Clark County [Nevada] Coroner tells TMZ 19-year-old Michael Tylo, Jr. drowned and was pronounced dead at 11:55 PM last night. Michael went by the nickname Mickey. The police were initially called to the house at 10:18 PM to respond to a report of a deceased male in a pool. We’re told the matter is currently under investigation and that toxicology reports have been requested.

Hunter has endured much tragedy in her life, as her youngest daughter Katya was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, and was forced to have her eye removed and replaced by a glass eye.

Hunter was also involved in a very high profile lawsuit against Aaron Spelling, after she was fired from “Melrose Place” for being pregnant (with daughter Izabella). She won a nearly $5 million judgment from the producer.

A rep for “Bold and the Beautiful,” on which Hunter has been a cast member on and off for 16 years, would not comment.

[From TMZ]

That’s incredibly sad. Hunter has had a lot of misfortune in her life. Wikipedia noted that, “Due to her time on The Bold and the Beautiful, Tylo splits her time between her family home in Nevada and Los Angeles, California, where the show is taped four days a week.” So thought the article didn’t specifically say Michael drowned in his own home, I think that’s likely what happened. We’ll update the story as more information comes out.

Sesame Street throwback videos

I was looking through YouTube for videos to show my three year-old son and I found some goodies from Sesame Street that brought back a lot of memories for me. My son loved them too, especially the pinball machine counting cartoon, below.

There’s something so great about finding clips of shows you used to watch as a kid and haven’t seen in 20 years. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to see them again.

A few months ago we covered celebrities and musician appearances on Sesame Street in a fun post that included videos of guests Robert DeNiro, Julie Andrews, Johnny Cash, and Stevie Wonder. Here are some of the cartoons and skits that will be familiar to 30-somethings like me who watched this excellent PBS kids staple.

Fat Cat Sat Hat

The Ladybug Picnic

And this is the Muppets, not Sesame Street, but I love this one, it’s the little fuzzy creatures doing “Witch Doctor”

Colin Farrell says he has a blessed life with his special needs son

colinfarrellson470.jpg

Colin Farrell has revealed that his four-year-old son James suffers from a rare form of cerebral palsy called Angelman Syndrome. According to Wikipedia, Angelman Syndrome is “characterized by intellectual and developmental delay, speech impediment, sleep disturbance, unstable jerky gait, seizures, hand flapping movements, frequent laughter/smiling and usually a happy demeanor.” Farrell says that he is “incredibly blessed to have him in my life” and that he often only remembers something is wrong with James when he sees his son playing with other children.

“He said that his son had shown ‘amazing courage’ in the first four years of his life and that he is an ‘incredibly happy boy’ despite his condition. Ironically Colin – who has joint custody of James with his mother Kim Bordenave – proudly led the Irish team to Croke Park for the Special Olympics before his son was born. Colin – who has starred in such movies as Miami Vice and Phone Booth – said that James has ‘enriched’ his life ‘incredibly.’ And he said that he is dedicated to helping his son reach his own ‘individual potential’ and to be ‘as happy as he can be.’

“‘With my son the only time I’m reminded that there is something different about him – that he has some deviation of what is perceived to be normal – is when I see him with other four-year-olds. Then I go “oh yeah” and it comes back to me. But from day one I felt that he’s the way he’s meant to be.’ The actor spoke with pride about the barriers his son has overcome in the first four years of his life – and paid tribute to his ex-girlfriend Kim for being proactive in getting James the early intervention he needs. ‘He took his first steps about six weeks ago and it was four years in the making. All the work is his, he worked his arse off for four years.’

“‘And when he took the first steps it was incredibly emotional, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.’ He’s broken that barrier and its all about building on that now. Although Colin has been juggling a career in Hollywood since he first burst onto the scene in 2003, he is dedicated to spending as much time as possible with his son. Little James has already met with his extended family in Dublin and even Colin’s new girlfriend, Irish student Muireann McDonnell. ‘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.’”

[Form the Ireland Independent]

I have to say, I’ve never really thought of Colin Farrell as this super deep guy, but he’s done a lot of things recently that make me have a lot of respect for him. It sounds like he has an amazing attitude towards his son. He’s not trying to make James something he isn’t, and loves him as he is and just wants him to be as happy as he can be. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it must be to have a child with cerebral palsy, but it sounds like Colin doesn’t really see it as a heartbreak, and is just glad to have such a great kid. This on top of the helping homeless people makes me have a crush on him all over again.

Barbara Walters tells Anne Heche “I don’t think you always think with your head”

top-cwp-001022.jpg

Anne Heche was on “The View” on Wednesday, and talked about how hard it is to be a long-distance mom. Heche films “Men in Trees” in Vancouver. A little while after starting the show, she left her husband to be with her new costar, who left his wife. The two got a lot of flack about it, though I’m guessing that’s not just because it’s slightly untoward, but because Heche is certifiable. So when she does much of anything besides go to the grocery store, people are going to think she’s doing it because she’s crazy. Which she totally is, but that might not the motivating factor in her every decision. But I’m probably giving her too much credit.

“The man with whom Anne Heche shares a log cabin in real life – her Men in Trees costar James Tupper – is ‘adorable,’ but he has nothing on the guy who flies into her arms: 5-year-old son Homer. ‘Homer flies a lot … twice a month to see me,’ Heche said on Wednesday’s episode of The View. Homer’s father, Hollywood cameraman (and Heche’s ex-husband) Coley Laffoon, shares custody with the actress. Twice a month, Heche also flies from Vancouver, Canada, to L.A. to be with her son.

“Meanwhile, Heche explains, she gives him a lot of love over the phone. ‘It’s hard,’ she admits. ‘You’ve got to open up your heart as if he’s right in front of you.’ Laffoon and Heche wed in 2001, and the marriage ended in February 2007, with the blame falling on her then-budding relationship with on-camera love interest Tupper (known as ‘McTreemy’ on the Men in Trees set), who split from his wife late last year. ‘I’m so happy,’ Heche said on The View before quickly clarifying her remark to say, ‘I don’t think anybody says, “Yay, divorce. That was a lot of fun.’

“View host Barbara Walters, who has interviewed Heche on several occasions in the past, admitted to her guest about the union with Laffoon, ‘I didn’t think that marriage was going to last.’ When Heche asked to know the reason, Walters replied, ‘I don’t think you always think with your head.’”

[From People]

Best. Quote. Ever. Barbara Walters, master of directness.

That’s a pretty crappy way for a 5-year-old to have to spend half their weekends every month. I don’t want to sound all judgy, but I think it’ d be more fair (though certainly less convenient) for Heche to fly to him every month. I really hate it when people get divorced and uproot their kids’ schedules for the parents’ convenience. If you split up and live far away from your kid, move closer or fly to them, whether you’re the mom or the dad. Between the airport, security, waiting, and the flight, (all roundtrip) Homer probably spends 12 hours of his weekend just devoted to getting to Anne. And it’s not like once he gets there, he spends time with this fantastic mom that’s taking him to the pumpkin patch or something. We’re talking about a woman who says she has another personality (Remember Celestia?) who’s an alien who tells her what to do. And I don’t think she’s ever recanted that. So Homer flies up there, probably gets abducted by aliens, and then as soon as he’s back he has to fly home to L.A. That just can’t be good for a kid.

Martha Stewart’s daughter spends $28,000 a month on fertility treatments


Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis has been spending over $28,000 a month of fertility treatments in an attempt to get pregnant. Alexis is 42, and says she was so busy with her life and her career that she never stopped to think about how much time is passing. Celebrities get pregnant all the time at what seems like any old age, and we don’t really hear as much about the people that can’t have babies. Alexis says she’ll do whatever it takes to have a child, and has gone as far as giving herself her shots on the street if necessary.

“Even though her eggs are ‘dry and crusty,’ Alexis Stewart is determined to get pregnant – so determined, she spends $28,000 a month on fertility treatments. Stewart, 42, started the difficult process last year, and opened up to People in July about how lucky she is to be able to afford the high-tech procedures and special treatments. On Tuesday, she talks to Oprah Winfrey about the emotionally and financially draining process.

“Having a baby wasn’t always a priority for Stewart, and now that she’s ready to be a mom, she tells Winfrey it’s almost too late. ‘[We] get distracted because now we have jobs, and now we have other things to do. Medicine seems miraculous – you can do anything you want,’ she says. ‘Movie stars have babies late. It seems all possible, but you don’t hear the stories of the people who can’t have a baby.’”

[From People]

As a feminist, I kind of have a problem with the whole notion that women better get to the baby having or we’ll dry up. But biology doesn’t really agree with my feminist principles, and it is what it is. Alexis was married to one of the lawyers that unsuccessfully defended her mother from 1997 – 2004, and has been using a sperm donor to get pregnant.

“Over the summer, Stewart told People she’ll do whatever it takes to make Martha Stewart, her mom, a grandmother. ‘Twice, I’ve given myself shots on the street. I’m much more interested in taking my medication than in what anyone might think about me,’ she said. Stewart has since had three failed egg implantations. ‘Last month, I had no eggs that were viable, so I’m sort of back to square one at the moment,’ she tells Winfrey, adding that she tries not to get too emotional about it.

“‘When I have to think about my other options, then I will do that,’ she says. ‘But at the moment, I can only think about this option.’ Stewart also says financial and emotional backing from her mom helps. ‘She’s very supportive. She tells me it will happen all the time,’ she says. ‘Because she wants grandchildren?’ Winfrey asks. Stewart’s response: ‘Desperately.’”

[From People]

I don’t know, but I would guess Martha’s footing a good portion of the bill herself. But maybe that’s because Oprah kept billing the show “This woman is spending $28,000 a month to make Martha Stewart a grandmother,” which made it sound like it was all about Martha. I’m not really a huge Martha fan – she seems pretty cold to me – but I’m guessing any baby that’s lucky enough to be born into that family will be pretty well taken care of for the rest of their lives. And have access to Martha’s scrapbooking wing in her house. I’d try to be her grandkid just for that.

John Stamos’s biological clock is ticking

top-dbe-003899.jpg

Uncle Jesse seems to be missing the Olsen twins – not that I can blame him, they were freaking adorable when they were babies… and weighed more than they do now. But he’s told OK Magazine that he’s ready to have kids, and is fully embracing the idea of adoption. As much as it’s fun to make a “biological clock” joke about a guy (because biological clock jokes never get old, right?) I think it’s awesome that a single man is publicly proclaiming his desire to have and/or adopt kids.

“John Stamos played uncle Jesse on the ’80s sitcom ”Full House.” Now he wants to be a father. ‘If I don’t have kids soon, I am going to adopt,’ the 44-year-old actor tells OK! magazine in its latest issue, on newsstands Friday. ‘Even if I do have kids, I think I will (adopt). I always thought to myself that I would be a better father later on in life.’

“Stamos and Rebecca Romijn divorced in 2005, nearly a year after they announced they were separating after five years of marriage. Romijn, 34, married Jerry O’Connell in July. ‘Right after I got divorced or separated, I was like, ‘I’ve got to find somebody,’ Stamos says. ‘Then I went through a phase where I hated dating. Now I’m kind of embracing it.’

“Stamos, who co-stars on the NBC medical drama ‘ER,’ says he doesn’t find dating hard now. ‘I think I’m probably easier to date,’ he says. ‘I’m certainly not as wild as I used to be.’ Of his marriage to Romijn, Stamos says: ‘It burned really bright, and I kind of knew it was going to burn out at some point. But it was a great ride and I don’t regret one minute of it.’

[From the Associated Press]

Not as wild as he used to be? Isn’t this the guy who played backup for the Beach Boys at random intervals during the ‘80s? Yeah I’ve head all that sand can get lodged in some really weird places, I guess that could lead to some unconventionally wild times. There was that one incident where he was kind of out of it in an interview, which he ended up blaming on sleeping pills. So I’m glad his wild and crazy days are behind him. Seriously, if there’s a person in Hollywood who you can tease for not being all that crazy, that’s a really good thing.

I’m all for the notion of having kids and adopting them. A little of the Brangelina lifestyle, if you will. And he made a good second father on television, so I’m pretty sure that means he’s going to be damn good at it in real life too.

Britney Spears reunites with her mom, but rejects intervention attempt


Britney Spears came crawling back to her mom, Lynne Spears. Well, she somehow got her mom to come to her, and then hopefully Britney crawled. We really have no idea as to what actually went down between Britney and her mother, but the most accepted theories seem to be that Lynne was instrumental in forcing Britney into rehab last year after her public baldness-inducing breakdown. Britney never thought she needed to go to rehab, and seemed to cut ties with Lynne shortly thereafter. At one point she hand-delivered a letter instructing Lynne to stay away from her kids, making sure to specify that Lynne might on medication which would impair her. Yeah that’s the pot calling the kettle black, and the kettle retorting, “Shut up you crazy hag!” Or some such thing. Well after Brit’s life has really gone to crap in the last few weeks, she finally summoned Lynne to her home, and I guess Lynne was pretty happy to go.

“Come to mama: Days after losing custody of her two kids, Britney Spears found some solace by reuniting with estranged mom Lynne Spears.

“‘Brit really needed her mom,’ a source tells PEOPLE. ‘So Lynne flew out and they met.’ Sources say Lynne and Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn flew from Kentwood, La., to Los Angeles Friday evening. On arrival at LAX, the two were mobbed by photographers. Jamie Lynn, wearing eyeglasses, kept her head low, later covered by the hood of her sweatshirt. Despite the attention, the women made a quiet exit from the terminal, declining to comment or to acknowledge the group.

“Around 3 a.m., Lynne paid a visit to her daughter’s Beverly Hills home before driving the two of them to Spears’s new Malibu pad. The mother-daughter pair had a falling out back in June, when Spears handed her mother a reportedly upsetting letter. According to TMZ, the letter asked that Lynne stay away from Spears’s sons if she is taking any medications that might cause her to be impaired.

“Spears told reporters at the time, ‘I’m praying for her right now. [I hope] she gets all the help she needs.’ Says a source, for now, ‘Everything’s great.’”

[From People]

I have that old Peaches and Herb song, “Reunited and it Feels so Good” stuck in my head right now, with an image of Lynne and Britney holding each other and swaying to the music… while a little bit drunk. I’m really surprised it took Britney this long to ask for her mom’s help and support. I mean things have just gotten worse and worse for her, and then you think she’s at rock bottom and she finds a way to dig herself down into a brand new hole. But if nothing else the girl is freakishly stubborn, and if someone tells her what to do (her mom… or a judge) she’ll flip them the bird and then get shitfaced and dance on some bars with her underwear over her head. And frankly we can’t complain, because at least that means Britney Spears had her underwear on at some point.

Hopefully calling her mom means that Brit has finally reached rock bottom and realizes just how messed up her life is. That’s probably a really scary and overwhelming feeling, but she’s got to understand that before she can correct her problems and get her life back together. Lynne Spears seems to be one of the few Hollywood moms that really has her act together and has given up a lot for her children’s careers, without expecting to be brought along to a lot of Hollywood parties as their own personal coke whores (ahem, Dina Lohan). Let’s hope this is an indication of some type of turning point, and Brit will take a few baby steps towards becoming a decent parent.

Note by Celebitchy: Britney missed a scheduled visit with her children this weekend, but it wasn’t exactly her fault. After first suggesting that the boys meet her at one of the many hotels she frequents, she agreed to return home to prepare for their visit. When K-Fed arrived at the gate, no one answered the intercom. He called Britney on her cell phone to tell her he was leaving, and she begged him to stay. It turns out the intercom was broken and she never heard the call.

And the latest news in the nonstop Britney saga is that she rejected an intervention attempt by her family yesterday. Her mom, sister, and K-Fed all arrived at her Malibu mansion on Sunday to try and convince her to get help.

Her weekend was quite eventful too. It seems that on Friday night she drove around aimlessly with her ex hook-up, producer JR Rotem, and one of his friends. She kicked the pair out before she went home early on Saturday, but then ran back down to the gate, screaming that her house had been broken into. She punctured one of her tires in her frenzy about the supposed break in, and a photographer changed it for her. The cops came and left, and then her family arrived to try and talk some sense into her:

Early Friday evening, Brit, producer JR Rotem and hanger-on Sam Lusty spent hours driving around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills being followed by a caravan of paparazzi, until utlimately ending up at the posh Peninsula Hotel, where Brit had holed herself up for a few days earlier this week, following the decision by Court Commissioner Scott Gordon to give full temporary custody of her two young boys to K-Fed.

Around 2am PT, the three louseketeers exited the Peninsula and drove, screaming at each other the whole way, to Britney’s gated community, The Summit, on Mulholland Drive, at which point Brit inexplicably gave her two traveling companions the boot at the gatehouse.

But the night was nowhere near being finished. A few minutes later, Brit comes roaring down the hill to The Summit’s entrance, where she begins to rant incoherently that her home had been broken into. Her driving was so erratic that she pulled up on a curb, damaging her tire so badly that it required repair — which a friendly photog was more than willing to do for Brit.

Eventually, officers of the law arrived and went up to the house with Brit, JR and Sam, before returning approximately 45 minutes later. No word on whether her house was truly broken into, though all signs point to “no.”

So, in the early morning hours, Brit and her pals packed back into her newly re-tired car and headed up the coast to her Malibu home — where her mom and little sis had just arrived.

[From OK! Magazine]

Then around 7p.m. on Saturday Britney stormed out of her house, seeming to reject her family’s help. She continued her random tour of hotels and restaurants, stopping briefly at the Viceroy Hotel and The Ivy. She was followed by at least 36 cars full of paparazzi.

Britney is still hanging out with her sister, even if the paparazzi think she’s rejecting her family’s help by continuing to drive around. She was seen out yesterday getting coffee and going for sushi with 16 year-old Jamie Lynn Spears. At one point she got lost and photographers told her the way home. Thanks to WENN for these photos.
