babysugar — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:00:56 PST

Are you watching Yo Gabba Gabba yet? If not, it's probably safe to say that your kids are. The hit Nickelodeon show has won over preschoolers, teens, and parents alike since its premiere two years ago, with its catchy tunes, retro-style graphics, and lesson-teaching characters. DJ Lance Rock has a celebrity following that already includes Brad Pitt (who dressed up like him for Halloween last year), the Klum/Samuel family and Christina Aguilera.

The celebs are not just tuning in with their lil ones, they are guest starring on the program too. As Yo Gabba Gabba enters its third season, the celebrities stopping by for a party in their tummies will include Sarah Silverman, Weird Al Yankovic, Jack McBrayer, Paul Scheer, Weezer, Anthony Bourdain, Mos Def, Devo, Fred Armisen, Erykah Badu, Flaming Lips, The Killers, Solange Knowles, Mix Master Mike, Angela Kinsey, and Marissa Jaret Winokur.

Dina Lohan to Star in Living Lohan

First it was Denise Richards, now it's Dina Lohan. These two Hollywood mamas are putting their lives (and their children's) up for display on reality television. The difference is that Dina's kids crave the attention just as much as her.

To see what the mom has up her sleeve,

Maybe I'm out of line but it seems to me that Dina Lohan is riding the coattails of her star wild child Lindsay Lohan to make herself and her other children famous. Dina told Page Six that they decided to do a reality show because,

We have no choice. Tabloids and reality shows are not going away. If they know who Ali is as a person, it’s better.

Ali Lohan is an aspiring actress who wants to follow in her big sis's footsteps. Lindsay may make a guest appearance every now and then (surely unscripted, riiiight).

Call me crazy, but if my eldest child was in and out of rehab and posing nude on magazine covers, I'd hardly be pushing my 14–year–old daughter to do the same.

What do you think of Living Lohan?

Miley Cyrus Unbelted

babysugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 08:00:14 PST

Since they are in the spotlight, celebrities often bear the burden of being role models. Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana is the current girl de jour under the microscope. To read about her public gaffe,

The seemingly sweet, Miley recently celebrated the release of her new 3–D movie Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour. And according to cinematical.com, a portion of the film reveals the pop singer and her achy-breaky famous father, Billy Ray, unbuckled in the back seat of a Range Rover en route to a concert rehearsal.

ConsumerReports.org is up in arms over the incident saying,

It seems to us that Miley, her father, and Disney had a perfect opportunity to help influence teens and counteract-rather than encourage-this trend.

While I strongly believe everyone should wear a seatbelt at ALL times, I think it's a tad harsh to spotlight the young songstress for negative behavior when so far, she's been near angelic compared to her Hollywood peers.

Update: Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus admitted to People magazine that they goofed:

We got caught up in the moment of filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seatbelts. Seatbelt safety is extremely important.

What's your opinion of this seatbelt situation?

Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria Christens Baby Estelle

Tara Block — Tue, 22 May 2012 11:25:00 PDT

Queen Elizabeth II isn't the only female monarch in Europe celebrating milestones this year. Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria and her husband of two years - her former personal trainer Daniel Westling - welcomed a baby girl in February, and today she and the rest of the Swedish royal family attended baby Princess Estelle's christening at the royal chapel in Stockholm.

Princess Estelle is second in line to the Swedish throne after her mother, thanks to the succession law that was changed in 1980 to allow the eldest heir to inherit the throne, even if the firstborn is a woman. Currently, Princess Victoria is the world's only female heir apparent, but if Prince William and Kate Middleton have a daughter, she may follow in Princess Victoria's footsteps. The UK's rules of royal inheritance are in the process of changing to allow firstborn girls to reign even if they have younger brothers. All 16 Commonwealth realms must come together to put the law into action - and until they do, Will and Kate's firstborn, if it's a girl, may or may not be in line for the throne. Some speculate that the uncertainty is the reason Will and Kate have been postponing having children, something that traditionally happens right after the marriage.

While we wait to find out how female royalty will fare in the UK, check out more photos of Sweden's little Princess Estelle during her christening ceremony now!

RIP Queen of Disco Donna Summer

Annie Scudder — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:01:34 PDT

Disco queen Donna Summer has passed away at 63. The singer reportedly suffered complications from lung cancer. Her family has released a statement, saying they are "at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and continued legacy." She's survived by her husband and children. Born on New Year's Eve in 1948, Donna was influenced by Michael Jackson, The Supremes, and Janis Joplin growing up in Boston. Donna eventually moved to Germany to star in Hair, when the Broadway musical moved to Europe, and she picked up fluent German. She would marry and divorce a German man, Helmuth Sommer, but she kept his name in a way, changing hers from Donna Gaines to Donna Summer.

Even if you didn't grow up going to disco clubs, you probably know the words to many of her iconic songs, which include, "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff," and "Love to Love You Baby." Tells us which hit was your favorite, and check out photos of the disco icon through the years now.

Victoria and Harper Hit London as Shirtless David Takes the Field in Canada

Allie Merriam — Mon, 14 May 2012 09:15:02 PDT

The Beckham family was spread out over three cities this weekend. Victoria Beckham and baby Harper were in the UK and were seen shopping along London's Sloane Street and at Selfridge's yesterday afternoon. David, meanwhile, was in Canada for a game with the Galaxy. On Saturday, David Beckham got shirtless to celebrate a successful match with the Galaxy. David and his teammates traveled to Montreal for the matchup, and he managed to tie up 1-1 with a free kick.

David and Victoria's three sons, meanwhile, stayed in LA. Romeo, Cruz, and Brooklyn had a fun day together yesterday playing volleyball and rollerblading in Santa Monica. David returned to the US in time to send a special Mother's Day message last night. He posted on his Facebook wall, "It's Mother's Day here in America, so lots of love to my mum Sandra and to Victoria Beckham, the mother of my four beautiful children. Also to all the mothers out there, have a great day. Hope you're being spoiled!"
