Suri Advises Tom Cruise
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Who needs a professional advisor when you have Suri? Tom Cruise discusses his career plans with his four-year-old daughter.
The actor, who is married to Katie Holmes, describes the story contained in his scripts to Suri and then listens to her questions because he thinks it makes him a better actor.
“I’ll put Suri on a swing and tell her stories when I’m working on a script. I’ll start with the beginning of the movie and take her through the story beat by beat. Of course, I make it age-appropriate. She’s four years old. But she asks all the right questions, ‘Why does that happen?’ ‘Those are the bad guys?’ ‘You’re the good guy, right?’ It comes down to the same thing as when I was a kid. Can I create a character that will make her happy, that will make her laugh? And you know what? She makes me get better and better, because she’s always asking me to do it again.”
Tom - who also has adopted children Connor,15, and 17-year-old Isabella with ex-wife Nicole Kidman - constantly tries to be the best parent he can because of a promise he made his eldest child when she was just a baby:

Daniel Radcliffe Wants to be a Dad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,
Despite his young age, Daniel Radcliffe is already pining for kids!
The Harry Potter actor is determined to settle down and start a family and plans to take time away from the film industry when he does become a parent.
“I’ve got kids to have at some point. They’re going to keep me busy if I do - which I hope I do at some point. I’m not planning on it soon, but that’s one of the things I’m really looking forward to doing.”
The 20-year-old actor - who is in an on/off relationship with Laura O’Toole - is not the only Harry Potter star wondering about life after the film series finishes.
Daniel’s co-star Rupert Grint - who portrays Harry’s best friend Ron Weasley - is scared about spending the rest of his life in the real world: “It is quite scary when this all ends because we’re stepping out into the real world - it is quite a bubble I suppose, we’ve had these films to do every year and it’s become quite a routine. I’m definitely going to miss it. It’s been a great 10 years. I am quite keen to move on and see what else is out there.”

Suri Cruise Still Drinks From a Bottle
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: D-List, Movies, Celebrity Babies, Photos, Oops Photos, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,
It looks as if parents Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise spoil their daughter Suri Cruise a little too much, allowing her to continue to drink from a bottle… despite the fact that she’s already 3 years-old. Here I thought that the heels were bad for the tot!
Snapped up by the paparazzi on the set of Katie’s new movie, The Romantics, little Suri doesn’t seem to mind drinking from the bottle; however, experts say that she should have been weaned from it years ago:
“She should have been weaned off the bottle by the time she was one year old… By the time kids are nine months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw. That development comes pretty early,” said Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights.
With all of the money between the two actors, one would think that they could afford a how-to parenting book or two.

Lok8u Num8 watch keeps tabs on your kids
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Wearables, GPS,
The Num8 from Lok8u (pronounced “locate-you”) is designed for parents who want to know where their children roam. This GPS locator device is concealed inside an ordinary child’s wristwatch, and a parent can follow their kid virtually via mobile phone or computer. Users also have the option of setting up a “virtual fence.” If a child with the Num8 steps outside this “safe zone,” the parents will be notified electronically. The Num8 will also notify the parents if the device is removed for any reason.
Of course, this security has a price. The device is about 149 Euros ($245,) and the location services range from about 4.99-19.99 Euros ($8-33,) depending on what type of service you want.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Admires Kate Winslet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Maggie Gyllenhaal looks to Kate Winslet for parenting skills.
The 31-year-old actress, who has two-year-old daughter Ramona with husband Peter Sarsgaard, is in awe of the way the Revolutionary Road actress raises her two children.
“I try to protect my personal life, and most of all my daughter. But I also recall things people I admire have said in print that have helped me. I’ve thought, ‘Oh, wow, Kate Winslet thinks that way about parenting,’ or, ‘Meryl Streep thinks that about acting.’ So I do also believe that it’s good to let a little bit out.”
Despite wanting to reveal some aspects of her private life to her fans, Maggie is not interested in hearing what people think about her. Referring to internet search engine Google, she explained, “You can’t go and Google yourself. You just can’t. It doesn’t feel good. Just step away from Google, absolutely. How can you ever choose things in your life that will please everyone? The same goes for reviews. I can do work I’m proud of, but then people don’t like it and it just ties you up in knots.”
Amber Alert GPS 2G lets parents track their kids
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: GPS, Misc. Tech,
For those parents that are nervous about their kids, and really want to know where their children are, then they should probably purchase the Amber Alert GPS 2G device. It works as a GPS beacon, which allows not-so tech savvy parents text to find out the exact location of their kid. True, I’m not certain whether a longitude and latitude will help, but the “Breadcrumbing” feature allows them to track their steps like Billy from the Family Circus. The Amber Alert costs about $379.99, with monthly plans being $9.99 and $59.99.

When Should We Start Worrying About Beauty?
Posted by Katie Gutierrez Painter Categories: Advice, Celebrities, Editorials, Entertainment, Fashion, Health, Parenting,
Now, clearly I love the beauty and fashion industry. I delight in it. But this wasn’t always the case. Back in high school, I was the girl who took pride in arriving to class with her hair in a messy wet bun, wearing only lip balm and a snug t-shirt with drawstring pants. Vans were my footwear staple. I considered myself independent, a little bohemian, and I looked scornfully at the girls with smoky eyes and straightened hair. There was also, I’ll admit, a little bit of envy. In their fashion, their stilettos that clacked across the beige tiled hallways, those girls had what I didn’t: sex appeal.
Last night, I watched The Devil Wears Prada with my 12-year-old stepdaughter. She is uncommonly beautiful, with no trace of the awkwardness I suffered at her age. She is smart, perceptive, and a budding fashionista. (The night before, she’d killed thirty minutes by trying on half a dozen pairs of my shoes, then texting all her friends back in Seattle about her newfound love for high-heeled boots.) But as we watched Prada, she’d declare, “Ugh! I have such a big butt!” or “Look at all this baby-flab over my hips! You don’t have any of that!” or “I’m confused. How come my thighs touch when I’m standing up? That’s not right, is it?”

Tom Cruise: Self-Proclaimed Great Parent
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars,
Tom Cruise is “fortunate to have the teenagers and two and a half-year-old” daughter he has fathered, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like to add more to the crew in the future. In an interview with The Sun, he talks about raising a toddler and teenagers at the same time.
“She’s so beautiful, she’s just great,” Cruise says of little Suri Cruise, a favorite among the paps (she appears in more mags than her famous father). Perhaps it’s because the small tot is “so charming,” as her proud papa says.
In the interview, Tom Cruise calls himself a “great parent,” saying “my family is the most important thing in my life.”
