Gnomeo and Juliet

He has sung for Princess Diana and to his son. Sir Elton John is a living legend whose music has and continues to resonate with generations of families. His timeless tunes have become the theme songs of many people's lives. He's tickled the ivories and manned the mic on stage for over four decades, added record and film producing to his repertoire, and is a passionate advocate. But, now at 63-years-old, he is a family man. I recently had the opportunity to interview the new father (with a group of fellow mothers) at the press junket for his latest project, Gnomeo & Juliet (Disney flew me down for the event). Here are the highlights!

Emily Blunt stepped out in white and showed off a lighter hair color at the UK premiere of Gnomeo & Juliet in London yesterday. She was solo on the green carpet since her husband, John Krasinski, stayed in LA to support The Office at last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards. Emily's producer Elton John stuck by his partner, David Furnish, on their way into the screening. Recently single Elizabeth Hurley also turned out with her son, Damian, to see the animated 3D movie, which they loved.

Kids will be thinking pink this year with flamingos! I'm predicting that the wading birds, known for standing on one leg, will become a child favorite once Disney's Gnomeo & Juliet (which stars Featherstone, a most memorable flamingo) debuts on February 11. From a ridiculously cute costume to sunglasses and a game, I've gathered up some of the best tot-friendly finds currently on the market. Check them out.

Gnomes don't just belong in the garden! The adorable creatures have already gone Hollywood and when Gnomeo & Juliet opens to the masses on February 11, prepare for a nationwide love affair! From pointy hats to handmade dolls, I've gathered up some of the best goodies on the market. Check them out.

It was a hot day for gnomes in Hollywood on Sunday! Tinseltown families — from the Rossdales to the Osbournes — made their way inside the El Captain Theatre to view Gnomeo
& Juliet, an animated musical that is bound to become a family favorite. Disney was kind enough to fly me down to interview the stars and experience the fun firsthand so here's the inside scoop!

Gavin, Kingston, and Zuma Rossdale wore matching shades on the red carpet at yesterday's premiere of Gnomeo and Juliet in LA — check out Lil's report from the big event. A lighter-haired Emily Blunt stepped out in a crisp white Zac Posen dress, while her costar James McAvoy smiled solo on the red carpet. The film, a modern take on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, features a soundtrack from new dad Elton John, who also hit the event with partner David Furnish. It's the latest fun big screen project for Emily, as she has a cameo in The Muppets along with her husband John Krasinski.

Get ready to stand in the concessions line! If you thought last year was packed with tot-friendly flicks, 2011 will knock your socks off! From sequels to some classic characters returning to the screen, there are several films your lil one won't want to miss. Check them out.
