Who, What, When, Where?!: Miscellaneous Celebrity News 2.0

[LexieLily]

Divorce officially filed.

That was fast. People says they agreed to joint custody, but with her staying in Miami and him staying in Tampa, not to mention how he apparently puts football above everything up to and including his family, it's not hard to figure out how "joint" that joint custody will end up being.

They don't show their kid's faces but they tell stories like this?  

Remember the story they did for People, in which they revealed that the younger daughter was still in diapers at 5 1/2?  Her playmates might not have been able to read that in supermarket checkout line, but their older siblings certainly could.

And, as an only child, I'd just like to extend a hearty "fuck you" to Dax Shepard saying they "owed" their kid a sibling in order to "make her a better person" than the "spoiled bitch" she'd be if she remained an only child. 

The idea that only children are inherently more selfish and self-absorbed is stupid and offensive to me... and I'm not even an only child, I'm the youngest of four! Having siblings doesn't make you a better or worse person, it just makes you someone with siblings!

[Bastet]

I think parents of only children have to take extra care they're not creating a little spoiled brat; they are able to give one child more attention and more things than they would multiple children, so it's easier to go overboard.  They need to keep themselves in check lest the kid think the world revolves around them and they will get anything and everything they ask for (my parents made sure I knew that early on; I heard "no" plenty).  But Bell and Shepard are rich and famous; they can give both those kids all the things.  So they're going to have to check themselves with two more than my upper middle class parents had to do with one.  Whether they wind up with zero, one, or two spoiled brats is going to depend on how they raise them, not on how many they had.

Maybe they're admitting they'd have spoiled Lincoln and turned her into an ungrateful Hollywood brat if they didn't have another child. 

I know plenty of people that "planned" a certain number of children, but biology, medical science and various other things changed the plans drastically.  Doesn't mean they were bad parents, trying to determine their optimum family size, then had to pivot. 

They do put a bit too much personal info out there, but compared to other celeb couples, I don't think they're too outrageous.  And both do have documented twisted senses of humor. 

I'm a MARShmallow forever, so I'm gonna cut them some slack.

Credit due to parents who just want to have one kid, and simply have one kid (obviously, accidental pregnancies are totally understandable).  Spoiling a child with love is actually not some horrible thing.

I personally love big families, but to each their own and why have kids just because you feel some external pressure?  Dax and Kristen are kinda trashy.

There is a HUGE leap between "spoiling an only child" and "Trashing our two children in the media".  It's not one or the other!  They can find a middle ground!  Why would they even use the word "bitch" when talking about their own child like that?  God, they are so nasty.

The articles I saw said Tom and Giselle announced they had finalized their divorce. So already separated, went through the legalities and they are done. Probably didn't want the circus that would come from announcing they were getting a divorce. As it was there were many articles from 'sources' they had both hired divorce lawyers and tabloids breathlessly reporting they had both removed their wedding rings. I have zero interest in football but Tom always struck me as kind of an ass. He was saying he'd he had missed Thanksgiving and Christmas, and his and other people's birthdays for 23 years. And whose fault was that....

[SnapHappy]

Lots of people choose professions that aren't traditional 8-5, Monday to Friday.  He's obviously not ready to stop playing.  That's his right, just as hers is to not accept that and stay his wife. 

Neither of their lives will change much, but I'll be surprised if she stays in Miami long.  I'm betting she'll head to New York the first chance she gets.

Parents of only children, to offer a counter theory, also only have one kid to ignore if they decide they aren't that into having a kid around. I think there is too vast a scope of parental types to make such broad generalizations.

IIRC, Mr. Baldwin referred to his eldest daughter as  thoughtless young sow as opposed to calling her a spoiled female dog as Mr. Shepard and Miss Bell have done their preteen daughter. Yeah, it looks as though she and her younger sib are going to have buy grosses of bales of paper bags so they can be ready to cover their faces due to their so-called parent neverending cruel public disses.

P.S. And to think, there was a time I actually liked Miss Bell and Mr. Shepard and was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but they wrecked that with all their TMI trashing.

Wow.  That was some demon.  Three different items, all TMZ.

Just me, but he seems altered during parts of this interview.  Perhaps there's a bit of brain injury from all the drugs?  I know the dental work is a thing too.  Compared to his appearance here, they prettied him up for that book cover.

Hard to fathom how much more talented he could have been sober.

They do seem weird to me, even though I was a big fan of Veronica Mars, The Good Place and her Deadwood episodes. Even Dax Shepherd's show Bless This Mess was really funny. Although the most annoying thing is those stupid Paw Patrol commercials that Kristen Bell does that keep showing up on my Facebook feed. Like I get that commercials are easy money for actors, but you are an A list actor, why the hell are you pitching crappy looking paw patrol toys? I would think there would be easier ways to make cash when you are that famous.

[peachmangosteen]

I don't know if I would say Kristen Bell is an A List actor but the way her and Dax will seem to do literally anything to make money is half hilarious and half cringey as hell to me. In general, I can't stand either of them anymore and I used to like Kristen Bell.

[rcc]

I did like her in Veronica Mars. Pretty good actress then.

[ouinason]

Just to clarify.  Dax and Kristen were talking about not wanting to turn their daughter into a spoiled little... whatever, they didn't say she was one.  Is this correct? HUGE difference.  Yes, I do think that they are oversharers, but nothing that has been discussed is weirder than stuff my parents have said publicly about me, just nobody really cared.  And my parents are dorks, but they love me (despite their faults).  I feel about them the way I feel about Ashton Kutcher and his wife.  "Weirdos, stop talking in public.".

ALL parents, celebrities or not, should stop exploiting their kids on social media, imo.

Fair. We know about this because the parents in question are famous, but opinions seem to vary wildly as to whether or not some celebs have the right to air their family's business in public. I'm not suggesting Shepherd and Bell need to be under a conservatorship, but perhaps someone should advise them to stop calling their kids names where everyone can see it.

I always say that the best form of birth control is listening to parents talk about their children. I'm not enamored of what they're saying, but I agree that they're not outliers in complaining about their kids.

Dolly Parton will probably not tour again.
 

Quote

"I do not think I will ever tour again, but I do know I'll do special shows here and there, now and then," Parton said in an interview with Pollstar magazine published Thursday. "Maybe do a long weekend of shows, or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore."

Parton, 76, said that at this point in her career, she prefers to not stray too far from family.

"I like to stay a little closer to home with my husband. We're getting older now, and I don't want to be gone for four or five weeks at a time. Something could happen," Parton said. "I would not feel right about that."

On the upside though:

Quote

In the same interview, Parton confirmed she is working to create a rock album after she wraps up work on a film adaptation of the best-selling James Patterson novel "Run, Rose, Run."

[Mindthinkr]

Although I’m sad that Miss Dolly will no longer tour, I get it due to the physical demands and her age. Plus I don’t think she wants to leave her husband for long periods of time anymore. 
 

A rock album? That is exciting news.

Is there any reason to publicly reveal that you didn’t really want a second child?  And then comment about how she doesn’t resemble either parent, but you’re gonna keep her anyway?  Omg….she was only had to provide the first child a sibling.  Did they consider how this would make a child feel?  She’s seven now, but come on…..this breaks my heart for those kids.  Every day, I become increasingly concerned about the way some celebrity parents are utilizing their young kids on the internet.  They need some protection, imo.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting a second child for whatever reason, but to make this public?  That does not make you good parents, that's for sure.  They can't possibly have thought for one second about how their child would feel when she inevitably reads or hears about it.  What shitty people these two can be.

There was something on Twitter where Dolly mentioned wanting to record with Stevie Nicks, that she's always admired her and would love to make an album with her, but I don't know if that's a thing that will happen or just something she'd enjoy doing.

Also, because I absolutely have to share this:

She also mentioned wanting to do another cover of "Stairway to Heaven," this time with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. I can't imagine that would ever actually happen, though, because Plant has been very vocal about much preferring making new music rather than revisiting stuff he did in his 20s. He's even told Page that, which Page always twists into Plant "being difficult." So, my assumption is it's more along the lines of what she would enjoy doing versus what is in the works. I'd say it's more likely Plant would work with her on something new rather than something old.

LZ is my favorite band, Dolly is one of my favorite celebrities, but “Stairway” is one of my least favorite LZ songs (not bad but so many much better), I sure hope this can happen if only to hear all of them collaborate on an iconic  LZ song.

I really enjoy their music too and it wouldn't be my first choice for a cover either. But I think even the lesser-known ones would likely be a no from Plant.

That's too bad about Dolly but I understand. Whether it's her age or she simply doesn't want to. That's fine. She's still an incredible person.

I'm just hoping a rock album doesn't mean duets with Miley. I know she inexplicably has fans now but I find her voice as piercing and unlistenable as ever.

Dolly covered Stairway to Heaven, 20 years ago:

She did her own Dolly thing with it but I'm not a fan.

Frankly I think Heart closed the book on StH covers when they did this in 2012:

Even the Led Zeppelin fellows were impressed by their performance. Robert Plant looked to be teary-eyed.

I have heard the old "solo" cover from Dolly and did not care for it and have heard Heart's version. I am really just interested in Dolly performing with the remaining LZ members (even though it may not happen).
