Octavia Spencer Fine without Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Octavia Spencer has no regrets about not having children.
The Fruitvale Station star admits her eggs are almost "past their expiration date," but insists she is "fine" with her decision to focus on her career instead of starting a family.
"I should be married and have 19 kids. And now I'm thinking my eggs are dying on the shelf. They're going to go past their expiration date. But it's what I chose, so I'm fine with that decision," the 43-year-old actress said, speaking at a roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter.
Julia Roberts also participated in the interview, along with Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong'o, Emma Thompson and Oprah Winfrey, and confessed she felt she "earned" a break from Hollywood to start her family, including twins, Hazel and Finn, eight, and Henry, six, with husband Danny Moder after almost two decades of acting: "I had been working for 18 years when I had Hazel and Finn almost nine years ago. So I felt like I earned that time in my house and in my kitchen and in bed all day with these two little people. I felt that was my present to myself."

Colin Farrell: I Was Becoming Unhireable
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Features,
Colin Farrell feared he was "unhireable" due to his battles with drink and drugs.
The 37-year-old actor claims entering rehab for addiction to recreational drugs and painkillers in December 2005 helped salvage his burgeoning Hollywood career as he worried producers wouldn't want to hire him because of his hard-partying lifestyle: "I wouldn't have been able to maintain my life. The inside of rehab was a must-see for me at that stage. I was in a bad place. I'm sure I was becoming somewhat unhireable."
Following his sobering experience in rehab, the Irish star has gone on to enjoy critical acclaim in movies such as Saving Mr. Banks, but he says the greatest joys in his life are his two sons James, 10, and four-year-old Henry. When quizzed about his approach to parenting, he said, "Be present. Just run up and take it from there. My sons are fairly well behaved ... I don't know if that's a testament to me or them but they're lovely young fellas. You try to instil respect, politeness and gratitude for what they have and I just enjoy them immensely."

Sandra Bullock’s Stunt Worries
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking,
Sandra Bullock says becoming a mother has made her think twice about doing her own film stunts.
The Heat actress loves getting physical in her films, but isn't as tempted to put herself at risk since adopting her three-year-old son Louis. "I insist on doing my stunts all the time. But one thing that makes you reconsider doing your shot is having a child. You go, what if I should fall and die on this one? Would that be a smart move?" she said at the London premiere of her new film.
The 48-year-old star said there are some "dangerous" stunts in her new action-comedy film, in which she co-stars with Melissa McCarthy, but the actresses decided to leave them to the professionals. "We didn't have crazy stuff to do. There were a couple of dangerous things and Melissa and I were like, 'Let the stunt people do it,' because the explosives were falling on them. We went and had coffee while people risked their lives," she quipped.

Vince Vaughn Opens up on Parenthood
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Vince Vaughn says parenthood means having someone who is forced to listen to him.
The Internship actor - whose pregnant wife, realtor Kyla Weber, gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Locklyn, in December 2010 - joked the best thing about being a dad is that Locklyn must pay attention to everything he says.
"It gives me someone that I can sit down [with] who really needs to listen to me. All kids bring their own joy, it's a lot of fun. There's nothing more fun than laughing and playing around with the kids," he said.
Vince, 43, reunited with his Wedding Crashers co-star Owen Wilson, 44 - who has a two-year-old son Ford, with ex-girlfriend Jade Duell - for The Internship and the proud fathers couldn't resists comparing notes about their kids on set. "Our kids are literally about the same age, so it was fun for us to swap pictures and stories," Vince explained.
Victoria Beckham Doesn’t Put on Make-Up in Front of Harper
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Victoria Beckham doesn't apply make-up around her daughter to prevent her from copying her.
The 39-year-old fashion designer is so wary about 22-month-old Harper - who she has with husband David Beckham - picking up on her actions that she avoids putting on beauty products around the toddler to ensure she doesn't feel left out.
"I can't put on make-up when Harper's around, because she would join me immediately. She is a tomboy towards her brothers," she said.
Victoria admits she is aware of the pressure her children - also including three sons Cruz, eight, Romeo, 10, and Brookyln, 14 - are under while having famous parents, but makes sure they know they can do good with their celebrity status and doesn't spoil them: "[Cruz asked] 'Why is it good to be famous, mum?' My answer was, 'When you're famous you have a certain power to do good things.' That is how we started talking about charity. Cruz was really sweet and said, 'When people listen to what I say, I could spread some good messages.' The kids are under a lot of pressure to perform. I don't want to pressure them. They should be keen and reach as much as possible. But the most important thing is they are happy. They lead a very privileged life but they don't get everything they ask for. We always tell them how lucky they are."

January Jones says only her son should know who his father is.
The Mad Men actress - whose ex-boyfriends include Ashton Kutcher and Jason Sudeikis - is remaining tight-lipped about the identity of her 20-month-old son Xander's dad and has taken advice from legendary actor Jack Nicholson in how to approach difficult questions about the subject.
When asked to state who Xander's father was, the blonde beauty told The New York Times newspaper, "That's my son's business. It's not the public's business. Jack Nicholson once told me, 'You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart. They'll never believe in your character.'"
January believes women have a right to keep "secrets" and likes the idea of saving unknown information for a future project, such as a journal. "Women should have lots of secrets. It's our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?" she added.

Maybe twitter will work (sic)."
The tweet provoked a defensive response from LeAnn, who soon wrote, "Funny, she just got off the phone w/ them. Sorry, we were doing baths, homework & dinner. All good! The phone rang, I picked it up. Never saw this til after. All you gotta do is call."
