Who knew a guy with so many tattoos could be such a softy? Joel Madden was spotted taking daughter Harlow to dance class in Toluca Lake, Calif. last week. Usually it’s predominantly the moms who do dance class duty — I don’t mean to stereotype but photographic evidence suggests that’s the case. Where was mom Nicole Richie? My guess is out shopping for another crazy chic outfit to wear out on their next date night. Another photo of the father-daughter duo walking hand in hand next. Awwww. Continue reading »
I don’t know about you, but I love play dates. Get my kids in a room with a few other little people and a whole new set of toys and they are in toddler heaven–and I get to kick back and enjoy a few minutes of grown-up chit-chat. Everybody wins.
But despite how much I enjoy my kids’ play dates, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to having a small fantasy of going on an A-list play date. Ok, it’s more than small. It’s huge. It’s actually gigantic. I have even separated my fantasy play date wish list into two categories: kids I think my kids would enjoy (The Affleck girls, Apple and Moses Martin) and play dates that would only serve the purpose of my own fascination (Suri Cruise, of course).
Sadly, it seems that celebrity kids may stick to their own kind. So which star kids (and their parents!) have been spotted keeping company together?
Francesca Bateman and Frances Pen Benioff
Amanda Peet escorted daughter Frances and her little buddy—Jason Bateman’s daughter, Francesca—to a Los Angeles playground for a playdate a few months ago. The similarly-named girls are about six months apart in age, and were spotted enjoying a picnic together, riding a toy truck and enjoying all around playground goodness while their moms looked on. No signs of them braiding each others hair or taking about which cute boys they like yet, but give them a few years and we bet that’ll come.
Sadie and Sunny Sandler, Sunday Kidman Urban and August, Stella and Grace Matthews
The Hawaii film set of Just Go With It is fast becoming a mini-version of Romper Room, with stars Adam Sandler, Nicole Kidman and Dave Matthews all bringing their kids to the set for playtime. And with August Matthews, Sunny Sandler and Sunday Urban all around the two year mark, give or take a few months, there is plenty of kiddie bonding going on. And of course, with Adam Sandler being an overgrown kid himself, I expect he is joining right in. Continue reading »
Harlow Madden was spotted out with father Joel Madden yesterday in Los Angeles, and the pair apparently hit up an American Girl store. Indeed, Harlow seems to be overcome with excitement. Could it have something to do with what’s in the bag? Or is her glee simply a function of holding a bag?
I was generally under the impression that these dolls, which retail for close to $100, are intended for older kids. (Because its so easy to keep your younger kids away from the toys meant for older kids. Ha! Just yesterday, my 3-year-old told me the other day that he thinks he needs his own IPod.)
Either way, if American Girl was thinking of marketing its wares to the toddler set, I think we’ve found our celebrity spokes-baby.
More of a very happy Harlow out with her dad on the next page. Continue reading »
Nicole Richie and daughter Harlow Madden went on a Coffee Bean run recently and (gasp!) Harlow sported some adorable leggings that even us regular folks can afford. The stylish tyke wore 77kids by American Eagle leggings, which range in price from about $10 to $14.50 depending on the style and how many pairs you buy. Leggings are all the rage — because not only are they cute, but they are comfy and play-friendly. Check out some other celeb kids like Shiloh and Zahara Jolie-Pitt donning leggings next.

The rich and famous seem to thrive on inventing original names for their children. Ever wonder where they came up with the names or what they mean? Matthew McConaughey recently revealed why he named his daughter Vida, which means “life” in both Portuguese and Spanish.
Let’s take a look at the origins of some other famous celebrity girls’ names.
APPLE MARTIN: Every time I see it in print I think of an apple martini. But maybe that’s just me… Clearly, little Apple — whose dad is Chris Martin — is named after the fruit, but what did Gwyneth Paltrow have to say about the choice?
“It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me — you know, apples are so sweet and they’re just wholesome and it’s biblical – and I just thought it sounded so lovely and… clean! And I just thought, ‘Perfect!’” Continue reading »
Father of the bride Lionel Richie is practically dancing on the ceiling about daughter Nicole Richie’s engagement to Joel Madden, with whom she has two children, Harlow,2, and Sparrow, 5 months. My guess is Lionel’s not stressing too much about the cost of the nuptials — and he seems to like the impending groom quite a bit. Continue reading »
Harlow and Sparrow’s parents are making it legal! Nicole Richie announced during a taping of The Late Show With David Letterman last night that she and Good Charlotte member Joel Madden are engaged. And the ring is reportedly so big it may weigh more than Harlow. Continue reading »
