Remembering Mom
"Six kids and no noise. That’s what’s the matter with that. I’ve never heard such a loud silence.”
In honor of Mother’s Day, Fancast has compiled a great list of the top 20 TV moms of all time, so take a moment to reminisce over at Fancast.com.
Someone Muzzle Kelly PrestonFor reasons I can't figure out, someone at Extra (via OK! magazine) decided now would be a good time to interview Kelly Preston. She has no movies about to come out, she's got nothing going on...hey, I get it, must've been a slow news day, but still--couldn't they find anyone else? No? OK, then.
So what exactly did Mrs. John Travolta have to say? Well, lots--as per usual. She's always very eager to talk about her totally heterosexual husband and her smoking hot marriage and her fantastic kids (well, at least her daughter; she sort of glosses over son, Jett). Because, like all her fellow Scientologists, life is perfect.
On keeping the family together away from L.A.:
"We don't really live in L.A.. We live in Florida. We've got our kids, do a lot of very normal things there. We ride golf carts, swim, rollerblade...We try to keep the family together as much as humanly possible."
As to whether there's any competition between her and her Johnny, she says absolutely not!
"There's no competition at all. I'm married one of the biggest movie stars in the world. To even think about that would be silly. I'm so proud of him. He's the greatest."
She was one "amazing" shy of channeling Katie Holmes. Eerie, isn't it? All the Scientology brides sound exactly the same. It's almost as if they were programmed. But, nah, THAT couldn't be it.
Speaking of Tom Cruise (well, sort of, since Katie is only an extension of Tommy), Kelly, naturally, had to put her two cents in about Maverick's three-year-old Oprah couch-jumping incident.
"To be honest, I felt sad that I live in a society where we can't show pure joy if you're excited. He's passionate, so he showed some unbridled emotion. Good for him. It was just spun out of control."
Oh, good god, shut up! You know what I feel is sad? That any criticism of little Tommy brings out a rabid pack of fellow Scientologists, bearing their teeth and ready to attack anyone who messes with one of their own--even if it's because one of their own is just plain nuts.
More of this scintillating interview airs tonight on Extra. I suppose if you really have nothing else to do, up to and including alphabetizing your pantry, it might be a great way to kill off a few brain cells.

Nobody Loves Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has been dropped from the movie "The Manson Girls," because producers can't get any actresses to co-star with her, Nikki Finke reports. I would say that's what industry experts like to call "a bad sign." No one will be in a movie with her? I guess they figure if she screwed up once, she'll screw up again. Which may or may not be fair, but given the rumors circling her the last month or so--rumors of drinking and raging and god knows what else--are certainly justified. I mean, the last thing a low-budget indie project needs is Lindsay showing up late for work and hungover--or just not showing up at all.
Does this mean she's totally unhireable? Because, if so, I'm sure Momma Dina would be happy to have her appear on sister Ali's reality show. Because that's a sweet gig...

Heath Ledger Portrait Wins Australian Art Award
This portrait of Heath Ledger, painted by artist Vincent Fantauzzo shortly before his death in January, was awarded a second-place prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in its annual national portrait contest. It was the popular choice among the 32,000 people who saw the exhibit, but some Oz artist who did a self-portrait of herself took first place.
I don't know--I'm totally creeped out by it. Knowing that he died a few weeks later just gives it a haunted feel. Like "oooh, we're looking into his soul" or something.
Kathy Hilton To Guest on "The Young and the Restless"
Kathy Hilton is scheduled to guest star on the daytme soap "The Young and the Restless" on May 13.
According to the network, Hilton will play herself, stopping in the fictional Genoa City to help her friend Jack Abbott {played by actor Peter Bergman} find the perfect cover model for his new magazine.
Alec Baldwin Says He May Run For Office
Alec Baldwin says he may consider ruining for political office. I don't know about you, but there's no way I would ever cast my vote for this guy.
In an interview, which is scheduled to air on CBS Sunday, Baldwin talked to "60 Minutes" about his career, his divorce from actress Kim Basinger and that messy custody battle over their daughter, Ireland:
"There's other things I want to do...There's no age limit on running for office, to a degree. It's something I might do one day."
Baldwin also said he learned a lot after that angry, unflattering voicemail message left for Ireland became fodder for the tabloids:
"If you go through the things I have gone through with the media like this thing with my daughter, there's only one thing that comes to mind initially: that is how my daughter must have felt to have this played out in public. The second thing I realize is: you can pretty much bet all you own that I would never leave another voicemail message for my daughter that wasn't just like something out of a Rogers and Hammerstein score."
Katie Holmes Wants Another Baby
Wow, Tom Cruise is really in defensive mode. How do I know that? Well, besides the ubiquitious appearances on Oprah and him dragging his Stepford Wife all over NYC to prove his love, comes a story that Katie has now decided she's ready to bless the world with another Cruise baby. Ewww, she must need the pay bump. Er, I mean, awwww...how sweet.
Supposedly, close friends (read: Tom disguising his voice) told E! that it's baby-making time for Katie.
"She said she's got the itch.Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister."
Of course she would! Because Super Suri is a wonder child! She loves everything. When contacted, Suri had no comment but "sources" say she's thrilled as she's tired of handling all Daddy's p.r. needs on her own.
As for Maverick? Well, he's all for it, naturally. Because that man likes nothing better than having sex-ay time with his lady.
"He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn't have to ask twice. He always wanted more. It was Katie who has been holding off. Until now."
Funny, you know what I just realized? It's May. Do you know what happens nine months from now? Tom's doomed "Valkyrie"--or as I like to call it, "My God, People, I'm Trying To Kill Hitler Here--Will You Cut Me Some Slack"--is set to be released. What better way to get the uber attention Tommy so desires than to time another miraculous birth to coincide with a movie opening. And, besides, it's not like Katie has anything else going on to take up her time.

Paris Hilton Unveils New Hair Extensions Line
Paris Hilton unveiled her new hair extensions line in NYC on Thursday. Which means, I guess, that people are supposed to pay to get these things? Is there really THAT much of a market for hair extensions that Wonky needs to be pushing them, too? Isn't it bad enough that Ken Paves and Jessica Simpson hawk theirs fake hair? How many of these celebutards' fashion accessories do we need? And, I don't know, Paris is so, just, you know....icky (<---college education, folks) that I can't imagine wanting to put something with her name associated with it on my head. I mean, does it come with a supply of antibiotics?
Having said that--and because it's the end of the week and I'm feeling generous--I will say that she has managed to work her entitled butt off and make a brand name of herself. I do give her credit for that. But, now, really--I just wish she'd go away.
OK, so that was halfway generous. Let's not push it.

Matt Lauer To Tom Cruise: "All Is Forgiven"Matt Lauer's weighing in on Tom Cruise's recent quasi-mea culpa on Oprah's show--specifically in regard to his Today show rant when he went off on Matt. Per the host, it's all good. I do love, though, that he makes it clear he didn't actually sit down and watch the Telluride dreck.
"I was traveling. I didn't see the interview. Somebody told me a little bit."
Translation: "Why would I lower myself to watch that blowhard rewrite history?"
Then he added that Tommy is welcome to come back.
"I don't feel there are any hard feelings. It was an interview. It was a good moment on television."
"The doors are open. I hope he comes back and sees me real soon."
In other words, Matt's seeing ratings gold in his future. He shouldn't be so sure. Oprah's ratings for the two-part Tom lovefest? Not so good. Even Barbara Walters' dish on her dirty deeds from thirty years ago did better.
Oh, and in case anyone has forgotten the infamous "you're glib, Matt, you're glib" interview? Let's revisit, shall we?

Uma Thurman Sued By Lancome
Lancome is suing its former spokesmodel, Uma Thurman, to try and keep her from collecting at least $1 million she says they owe her for using her image in foreign ads after her contract expired in 2005.
The complaint by the French company, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, asserts that they "never knowingly or intentionally" used Uma's face to hawk their cosmetics and that any Internet sites that had old photos of her on them were never meant for the viewing public. They contend they didn't even know the pages were there and, once they did, took the pages down.
But Uma's lawyer says that's a load and says her photos showed up not only on Asian websites, but on a Canadian billboard for the company's Miracle skincare line. Maybe they thought Uma wouldn't see them? You know, because she's that unaware of what's going on with her image around the world. Do they think she's stupid? I'm annoyed for her!
Thurman hasn't formally filed suit against the company yet, and their suit is in the hopes that a judge will preemptively rule that they didn't do anything wrong. But, says their attorney, they're also open to a settlement. However, Uma's attorney, Burt Fields (is that the same Burt Fields who's Tom Cruise's lawyer? Oh, geez!), says even $1 million would have the company getting off cheaply:
"Look at the huge free benefit Lancôme gets from using her. The French want to accept that benefit without paying for it.
"Obviously, the French have decided they won't even try to resolve this amicably. So they have filed this sneak attack."
Which, if I may shorten, mean: "It's on, Frenchies!"
Liv Tyler And Husband Split
The naked fingers never lie. After weeks of rumors and the absence of her wedding ring the other night at the Costume Gala, Liv Tyler and her husband, Royston Langdon, announced yesterday that they are separating. Per her rep:
"Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have confirmed their separation. They remain good friends and devoted parents to their son Milo and are requesting that their family's privacy be respected at this time."
Do you think all reps come with a template of that statement and just fill in the names? Because, really, it is always exactly the same. Just an observation.
Liv and Royston were married in 2003 in a private Caribbean ceremony their son, Milo, was born in late 2004. I'm guessing they pretty much had to get this out there since Liv is co-starring in "The Incredible Hulk," which comes out next month, and if she didn't address it would be the elephant in the room when it came time for her to do press. Smart move to do it now, with about 5 weeks buffer time until it's time to pimp the movie. Gives her a little breathing room.
