Brad Pitt hates Santa Claus.
The 48-year-old actor was devastated to discover Santa wasn't real when he was a child and still feels betrayed so doesn't encourage his own kids - Maddox, 11, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - to believe. "I'm not a real big on the whole Santa thing. I thought it was a huge act of betrayal when I was a kid. I didn't like that. When I found out the truth, I was like, 'Why, why, why would you lie to me, why?' So what I tell them is some people believe it's Santa, and some people believe it's parents, and you get to believe whatever you want," he told E! News.
Brad also admitted he can be too strict with his sons. While the Killing Them Softly actor says he is a soft touch when it comes to his daughters with Angelina Jolie, he is harder on the boys: "I'm more of a disciplinarian with the boys. The girls do no wrong, of course. Mom's a little more equal in her dishing."

Kendra Wilkinson thinks Kelsey Grammer is "disgusting."
The former Playboy model and The Girls Next Door star lashed out at the Boss actor for bringing his three-month-old daughter Faith to a party at the Playboy Mansion last month because he couldn't get a babysitter and says he knows exactly what she thinks about his actions because she left the party in protest.
The 27-year-old star told gossip website TMZ.com, "Oh, he knows how I feel, trust me. I gave him that eye and I left because of that. I think someone said that he wanted to say and I said absolutely not and, like, this is disgusting. It has nothing to do with the Playboy Mansion it has to do with where you bring your baby."
The 57-year-old actor previously defended his decision to bring his daughter and his wife Kayte, 32, to the party and sources close to the family have hit back at Kendra calling the mum-of-one - who is married to Hank Baskett and has a two-year-old son Hank Jr. - a hypocrite. A spokesperson for Kelsey mockingly told The Huffington Post, "Then, that settles it. He must be disgusting."

Adele - who is engaged to charity worker Simon Konecki is said to have told friends, "I'm so in love, I've never felt this much emotion. I plan to spend the next six weeks in my pajamas - everything I want is right here at home."
One pal told Closer, "Adele has told us, 'No nannies - I'm going to be a hands-on mummy.' She's also said that she's making it through the sleepless nights by watching films while breastfeeding."
Eight-time Grammy Award winner Adele, 24, is also planning on taking her time getting back into shape and is even keen to provide her son with a younger sibling sooner rather than later. "Adele says that she's proud of every inch of herself, but she's happy she can finally see her toes again. She's talking about getting pregnant again, but Simon reckons she'll change her mind after a few weeks of no sleep!" the friend added.

Adele doesn't want to raise her child in London. The singer is due to give birth to her first baby in the coming weeks and she and boyfriend Simon Konecki are renovating a home in Hove, Southern England, where they can be left in peace.
Adele was raised in Tottenham, north London, but she doesn't want to stay in the UK capital with her child because it is too much like a
"goldfish bowl" because of her fame.
"Neither she nor Simon want to bring up the baby in London. She says it's like a goldfish bowl. They want to keep a low profile when the baby is born. I think we'll see even less of her then. Despite her millions, she is going to give the baby the most important thing of all, love. The baby is very special to have such a special lady as its mother," a source told People.
Adele just released the theme song to the new James Bond film Skyfall but she has no plans to do anymore work while she is in the latter stages of her pregnancy. Instead, the 24-year-old singer intends to spend the next few weeks at home. "She is totally laying low and nesting. She's enjoyed picking out furniture for the baby's room and trying to choose names," the source added.
Anjelica Huston’s Dad Made Her Feel ‘Plain’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Features,
Anjelica Huston's father made her feel unattractive.
The 61-year-old actress was devastated as a teenager when she heard her actor dad John Huston say he thought she would grow up to be "plain," and his remark made her feel very insecure about her appearance.
"I was not at my happiest in my late teens. I went from confident and secure to shy and insecure and back again. I wish I could have been more accepting of myself. I had once overheard my father saying, when I was about 15 or 16, that I might turn out to be plain. That was a particularly unattractive moment for me. My nose was growing and my chin was receding, by comparison, and no one knew more than me how plain I felt."
Anjelica - whose mother Enrica died when she was 18 - also admitted that working with her father on one of her first movies was such a bad experience, it put her off acting for many years:

Amy Adams Loves Motherhood Balancing Act
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Amy Adams enjoys the challenges that come with being a mother and an actress.
The Master star has a two-year-old daughter, Aviana, with her fiance, actor-and-artist Darren Le Gallo, and although it can be stressful she loves both roles. Amy - who met Darren in acting class in 2001 - told USA Today, "I love that balance. I had a talk show blitz the other day. I had three hours down, so I raced home, changed out of my nice clothes and we walked to Central Park (in New York City) and did the merry-go-round because I promised her we'd do it before we went back - and she remembers. And then we walked back."
The 38-year-old redhead also revealed Aviana is a very strong-willed child and she doesn't even like to be comforted by her mother when she is upset.
Recalling a flight when Aviana wouldn't stop sobbing, she said, "It's funny. She doesn't like to be held when she's upset. She's very independent. This one woman kept going, 'Why doesn't she just pick her up?' It's like, 'Do you know what would happen if I tried to pick my child up right now?' She would lose her mind. I probably shouldn't worry about it. I love my child."

Dina Lohan Offers Advice to Amanda Bynes’ Parents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,
Dina Lohan has offered Amanda Bynes' parents advice on their out-of-control daughter.
Amanda's recent troubles - which included having her car impounded and being charged with driving on a suspended license - have been compared to the fall from grace of Dina's daughter Lindsay and she says Amanda's parents need to be there to help the 26-year-old former child star through her ongoing drama.
"You know, I'm a mother, and I feel that that's for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that's for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself. [But] just be around... It's hard when your daughter's not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go... and they want to, you know, feel like they're in control of themselves. So it's a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she'll be OK," she said on Entertainment Tonight.
Dina is no stranger to controversy and was recently accused of being drunk during an interview on TV show Dr Phil, something which she strongly disputes: "I was absolutely not under, intoxicated, or on any kind of medication. I was extremely upset."
Alicia Keys Is Blessed with Her Son

Alicia Keys feels blessed she has a "good" child.
The "Girl on Fire" singer has a 23-month-old son, Egypt, with husband Swizz Beatz and while she admits the tot can be hard work at times, she knows she's lucky to have a son who is generally well behaved.
"I want him to be great and there's a time for everything so we go through a lot of emotions but it's mostly all love, which is the most important thing. But he's a good one, he's really good - I definitely got a good one!" she said.
Alicia also says Egypt is starting to take after her when it comes to music and has already started playing the piano: "He'll be two next month and he has a huge personality - he's just incredible. He loves to play the piano and he loves to dance. He's just a joy. I haven't got him doing the scales just yet, and I don't want to be that type of mother but I have observed that when he's playing the piano against another child of his age, the other child is like bang, bang, bang and he's different. So he has good construction in his fingers so maybe it's just natural."

Nicole Richie Wants a Stable Home for Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Nicole Richie wants her children to have "stability."
The 30-year-old designer spent a lot of time on the road with her father Lionel Richie when she was growing up but wants Harlow, four, and three-year-old Sparrow - her kids with rocker husband Joel Madden - to spend most of their time at home.
"One of the biggest differences in the way I'm raising my kids versus the way I was raised is that I was on tour a lot. I don't really do that with my kids. It's important to me that they have stability. I like them to be home," she said.
However, Nicole - who has previously battled drug addiction - insists there was nothing "wrong" with the way she was raised by Lionel and her mother Brenda. "I was taken out of school and had tutors. By the time my father went onstage, I was asleep. There's no right or wrong way to raise a family. Look, I don't know anyone who can say they don't just try and do the best that they can do," she added.
