Photographing Celebrity Moms' Kids


Another day in the life of a celebrity mom simply trying to pick up her child from school without being harassed by paparazzi.

"It is inappropriate for these people to stalk a child's school everyday," a source close to Berry tells E! News, "these people" being the paparazzi who chronicle an awful lot of Berry's comings and goings.

"They pushed too far [today]," the source added. "Halle felt that her daughter was being threatened. Having words with someone who is stalking your family is not out of line."

I understand it’s legal to photograph people in the public, but it seems like there needs to be some sort of exception when children are involved.

This is a prime example of intrusion of privacy. Just because someone is a celebrity it shouldn’t make it legal to photograph their children.

Think about it. If you were suddenly hounded by photographers when you picked up your children at school, wouldn’t you be like, Get away from my children!?

I can understand public figures having their photos taken, but it really seems like there is some line being crossed when children can be photographed at any time they are in public. Isn’t this potentially harmful for kids?

Playboy Mansion Hosts an Easter Egg Hunt?!


Wow, am I getting to be an old fuddy-duddy or what?

I read Us Magazine’s piece: Jenny McCarthy's Son, 9:“I Like Pretty Chicks,” and was kind of in shock.
I didn’t know that the Playboy mansion had an annual Easter egg hunt and that children frolic around on the estate. But they do.

Jenny McCarthy took her son Evan to the event that supported McCarthy's charity, Generation Rescue, which is dedicated to helping children with autism spectrum disorders. McCarthy’s son was diagnosed with autism in 2005.

“McCarthy said she lost Evan for "probably 45 minutes" in the Mansion -- ultimately finding him hanging out in the infamous Grotto.

"And I went in there and he's laying there going, 'Hey.' And I said, 'Yeah?' and he said, 'You know I like chicks, right?' And I said, 'That's great!' And he goes, 'I like pretty chicks.' So I said, 'Awesome!' "

Evan then announced, "I just thought I'd come out and tell you."”

I’m just kind of all like, flustered. I think it’s great that Hefner would do something so kid-friendly and all, but I’m kind of skeeved out at the same time. I don’t know. Is the playboy mansion really such a great spot for an Easter egg hunt?
