Johnny Depp Was Empty Before Having Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Johnny Depp was miserable until he had children.
The 48-year-old Dark Shadows actor has admitted that he felt empty until the birth of his first child with Vanessa Paradis.
"There is nothing on earth that could ever make me want to relive certain years of my life when I was young," he said.
The screen star's parents divorced when he was 15 years old and he self-harmed as a way to cope with his problems: "You grow up a bit damaged or broken then you have some success but you don't know how to feel good about the work you're doing or the life you're leading."
He explained that his offspring, Lily-Rose, 12 and Jack, 10, who he has with the 39-year-old singer, model and actress brought him back to appreciating life to the fullest. "You feel empty. I was angry and frustrated until I started my own family and my first child was born. Until then I didn't really appreciate life the way I should have, but fortunately I woke up," he added to The Sun.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Expecting Second Child?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Rumors,
Sarah Michelle Gellar and husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. are expecting their second child.
The couple - who met on the set of 1997 horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer and started dating three years later - have reportedly decided to give daughter Charlotte Grace, two, a little brother or sister.
"She and Freddie are thrilled. They're amazing parents," a source told US Weekly.
The actors tied the knot in Mexico in September 2002, and admit they often fight about who gets to stay at home with their little girl, and who has to go to work. Sarah, 35, who recently returned to the screen in drama series Ringer, said, "We fight over who gets to stay home. You'd think it would be the opposite, that the parents would be like, 'No, I'll go to work!' but he's like, 'You stayed home for two years! It's my turn!' He and Charlotte have too much fun. I'm jealous!"
Katherine Heigl Adopts Second Daughter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies, Kind Acts,
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have adopted a second daughter. The couple - who already have three-year-old daughter Naleigh from South Korea - have welcomed another child, but a name is not yet known.
"Yes they have adopted a baby. No further details are available at this time," the couple's representative said.
In January, 33-year-old Katherine confirmed she was talking about taking on another child with her 32-year-old husband: "Josh and I started talking about it before we were even engaged. We have talked about having biological children as well but we decided to adopt first. I'd like to adopt again."
The Grey's Anatomy beauty previously claimed she felt like a "bad mother" when she first adopted Naleigh from South Korea in 2009 because she could not bond with her.
"I fought incredibly hard for my daughter to accept me as mother. Her rejection almost broke my heart. 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."
Julia Roberts’ Kids Don’t Watch Movies
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Julia Roberts doesn't let her children watch her films.
The 44-year-old actress - who has seven-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and four-year-old Henry with husband Danny Moder - admits the family have "rigid" rules about movie screenings at home and will not be allowing them to see her turn as the evil queen in new Snow White film Mirror Mirror.
"I think they are too young considering the part that I play. We have a pretty rigid viewing feeling in our house. We'll find our right time that will be happy and joyous for us to share that all together, but it probably isn't in two weeks."
Instead, Julia prefers to have her youngsters reading with each other instead of watching the television: "Those nice, cozy, very short hours before bed, we just really spend together as a family talking and sharing the day and reading books, and really, before you know it, it's time for bed. Part of it is there's just not time for that. We would prefer something different in that time. We're more book people in our house."
Strict Dad Brad Pitt
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Angelina Jolie says Brad Pitt has had to become tougher on their children.
The Oscar-winning actress raises six children with the actor - Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - and while she has always been the stricter parent in the past, Brad has now had to be more involved with the discipline.
"I used to be the tougher parent but since the birth of the twins, Brad's had to play bad cop more often. It also depends on which of the children we are talking about. Brad has always had this incredible bond with Mad, who's very smart, and Brad loves teaching him about history and art and culture - it's an amazing thing to watch them together. I think I'm a little closer to the girls, maybe, but he's always making them laugh. The children are usually very well-behaved though."

Gavin Rossdale is "very proud" of Daisy Lowe's career.
The Bush singer - who was the model's godfather before he was revealed to be her biological dad when he took a paternity test in 2004 - is glad of how well Daisy has done in life and tries to see her as much as he can. The 46-year-old musician - who fathered Daisy after a brief relationship with singer/songwriter Pearl Lowe - told BANG Showbiz, "I see Daisy whenever I can. She's done so well, she's an amazing girl. I'm very proud of her career."
Gavin - who also has two sons, Kingston, five, and three-year-old Zuma with his wife Gwen Stefani -takes a "relaxed" approach to parenting, and he wasn't concerned when Daisy recently posed naked in an edition of racy men's magazine Playboy: "The Playboy pictures were nothing really to do with me, I'm just there to support her when she needs me and look out for her. She's an adult. I'm a pretty relaxed person, and that is reflected in my parenting style, too. I like my kids to express themselves and do what they want."
