Salma Hayek: ‘I’m a Pushy Mother’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Birthdays, Features,
Salma Hayek can be a pushy mother. The Savages actress used to think she was a "laid back" mom until she had a party for her daughter Valentina - who turned five today - and found she was pushing through crowds of children to make sure her little girl had a candy.
"I make an effort to be laid back and often I want to giver her space, and then I catch myself doing things. In Paris I had a birthday party with a pinata with kids, who were Mexican, they were boys and they were older. She was really concerned she wouldn't be able to take a candy when the pinata broke. I said, 'Don't worry.' When the pinata broke, she couldn't get in, I was pushing them, trying to get in. And then I caught myself and I thought, 'I've turned into one of those mothers!' I moved away. I think I'm a bit of both. I think we all are," she said.
Despite Valentina being the daughter of an Oscar-nominated actress and a billionaire father - French fashion mogul Francois Henri Pinault - Salma thinks her offspring wants to become a gymnast because of the London Olympics. "She's into the gymnastics because of the Olympics. It's amazing how she points her toes, like a little bird or something. She's doing it every day," she added.

Amanda Bynes Charged with Driving on a Suspended License
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
Amanda Bynes has been charged with two counts of driving on a suspended license. The 26-year-old was formally charged on Friday after two incidents at Burbank Airport in California which occurred an hour and a half apart last Sunday, according to gossip website TMZ. She could face up to six months in jail for each charge.
This is the latest in a string of setbacks for Amanda whose recent troubles include having her car impounded and facing charges of DUI (driving under the influence). She was also involved in two bizarre episodes earlier this week, locking herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refusing to come out and stripping off during a gym class.
"Amanda stopped to take her T-shirt off, revealing only a tiny, black, strapless push-up bra - not a sports bra. She then picked up her Louis Vuitton handbag and pulled out her makeup kit and started reapplying her lipstick and eyeliner while looking at herself in the large mirror in front of her," an onlooker in the class said. The instructor, Maurice Rabsatt, confirmed what happened on Twitter and wishes Amanda a "healthy recovery."

Demi Lovato has become the face of a new anti-bullying campaign.
The X Factor judge - who was bullied when she was at school - is the new ambassador for Secret's Mean Stinks campaign, which encourages girls to "gang up for good" to end bullying in schools.
"I heard about the program last year, and thought it was such a great opportunity. They're really trying to put an end to bullying," she said.
The program asks girls to pledge to have a "Drama Free School Year" by making a pinky swear, symbolized by wearing blue nail polish on their pinky fingers and Demi added, "I'll definitely be wearing [the nail polish] starting soon. It's a conversation starter: 'Hey, why is your pinky blue?' 'This is a pinky promise that I'm not going to bully people, that me and my friends are ganging up for good.'"

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Child Stars, Rumors,
Katie Holmes is finding it hard not to give daughter Suri everything she wants.
The former Dawson's Creek actress - who was given primary custody of the six-year-old tot as part of her divorce settlement from ex-husband Tom Cruise - knows it's important Suri is not spoiled but has told friends it's not easy telling her no because Tom is happy to indulge in his daughter's every whim.
"She said the divorce has been hard on Suri and she's acting out. Katie says no to some things, but gives a little leeway. She knows Tom is going to spoil her," one friend said.
While Katie wants Suri to stay grounded, it was recently revealed Tom had set up a "sizeable trust fund" for the little girl. The Top Gun actor - who is giving his former spouse $400,000 per year in child support until Suri turns 18 - has created the additional payment plan for the youngster upon Katie's request, although the youngster will be unable to fully legally claim the money until she's in her 30s.

Despite being in a committed relationship for several months, Justin claims he still doesn't understand women. The "Boyfriend" singer spends a lot if his time trying to guess what Selena is thinking or what type of mood she is in: "I don't think I'll ever stop learning about girls. You never know whether they're going to be happy or sad, do you? You kinda have to hope that they're going to be in a good mood."

Lindsay Lohan says her arrest yesterday morning is "really fishy."
The Liz & Dick actress was taken into custody for fleeing the scene of an accident but is said to have told pals she feels she has been "set up." It had been claimed that Lindsay hit the knee of an unnamed man in his 30s as she pulled in at low speed to park her Porsche Cayenne near the Dream Hotel in New York City, but the star claims she had no idea she had struck anyone and didn't know about the incident until she was arrested when she left the hotel at around 2.30am.
According to TMZ.com, Lindsay is also disputing accounts that one of her passengers got out of the vehicle to check for damages, insisting it never happened. The Mean Girls star believes the incident is "really fishy" because the man didn't appear to have any visible injuries, though he was taken to hospital, and she plans to "fight" the allegations "to the end."

Lindsay's alleged victim, Jose Rodriquez, claims she was "slurring" her words after the collision outside the city's Dream Hotel. "I saw this car come real quick and hit me. I was in so much pain. I fell to the side. When she got out of the car, I asked, 'Why did you do that?' She said, 'You have to get out of the way.' She told me I have to move. She was slurring. She smelled like alcohol real bad," Jose said.

Amanda Bynes' parents have moved to Los Angeles to help her get her life back on track. The family of the troubled actress - who recently had her car impounded and her driving license suspended - have already leased out their home in Cedar Park, Texas, and intend to sell it so they can be by her side, according to gossip website TMZ.
Sources close to the family say they have no plans to pursue a conservatorship - which would give them legal control over Amanda - but they want to be on-hand to support their daughter.
However, there was some good news for the former Nickelodeon star after a Beverly Hills judge ruled Wednesday that she won't have to post the $50,000 bail for her April driving under the influence (DUI) case. The district attorney argued that Amanda - who failed to show up to court - should be ordered to put up $50,000 bail pending her October 29 trial, saying the bail was needed "for risk of public safety.

"How can you not like her? She's so sweet and she's good for him and they're great together. They're adorable," she said.
The 37-year-old single mother - who was just 18 when she fell pregnant with the "Never Say Never" hitmaker and brought him up with the help of her parents after splitting from Justin's father Jeremy Bieber - made a vow aged 21 that she wouldn't have sex until she got married, and she promised Justin that she wouldn't get a boyfriend until he was 18.
"I take that vow really seriously. I remember when I made it, I wrote it down on a piece of paper, I had someone witness it and it means a lot. I made it this far, I'm not stopping now. When I moved to Atlanta with Justin, because of the all the chaos and how crazy it was, I told him I would focus on him and wait until he's 18 before I started dating. Now he's just turned 18," she explained.

Duchess Catherine Wins Injunction Over Topless Photos

Britain's Duchess Catherine and Prince William have won an injunction preventing a magazine from publishing further topless pictures of the brunette royal.
Mondadori France, French Closer magazine's publishing company, will be fined $13,000 a day if they publish further topless paparazzi images of Catherine sunbathing or transmit them to a third party via email or any other means, it has been ruled in a French court today. It was also decided that Mondadori - owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - will have to pay $2,600 towards legal fees.
A court in Nanterre, near Paris, opened a separate criminal investigation earlier today over the publication of the images in the magazine after a formal complaint was made on behalf of Catherine and William, who are currently in the final stages of an Asia Pacific tour. The initial investigation will be carried out by BRDP, a branch of the French police. The decision will allow a prosecutor to decide whether or not to proceed with a full investigation into whether Closer magazine and the photographer broke the couple's right to privacy. Separately, the board of a newspaper that published the topless photos will meet today to consider closing the paper, it said.
