The Dishing Diva

The singer’s family just got bigger. Sheryl Crow apparently wrote on her website recently that she has adopted a new son named Levi James. This is what she wrote on the matter: Hey Everybody! I have some exciting news to share with you guys-Wyatt has a new little brother! Levi James was born April 30th. Just wanted you all to be the first to hear the good news!” Hopefully this is just an act of good will on behalf of Sheryl Crow because if she wants to make some competition for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie she’s got a long way to go still.

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her son Moses in 2006.

“It was debilitating,” Paltrow said. “I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me and why I was so down and disconnected and sort of outside my body,” the Oscar-winning actress admitted in an interview with Extra.

It was Paltrow’s husband, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, who helped her acknowledge what she was going through.

“My husband actually was like, ‘You’re not OK. What’s going on?’ – and then it was like a burst of a bubble, and I realised there was something wrong. Then I started to deal with it.”

The couple have an older child, a daughter named Apple.

Actress Brooke Shields has said her three-year-old daughter loves to dress up in her shoes.

The 44-year-old star has two young daughters – Rowan, six, and Grier, three – with husband Chris Henchy.

She recently attended Choo 24:7 by Jimmy Choo Launch at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and talked about her daughter’s fondness for the pair of heels she was wearing.

She said to In Touch: “My little one was wearing these all night. I had to pry them off her feet to get them on mine!”

Talking about her younger daughter, she added: “My younger one wants anything sparkly, and my other one is a self-proclaimed ‘hip-hop girl’.”

She seems very confident that he shall live up to them, though. Mariah Carey has recently declared that she believes her husband Nick Cannon will make an excellent father. This is what the singer said on the matter: “He’d be the best dad in the whole world!” This really doesn’t work like everything else might have so far for Mariah Carey. She just can’t say that Nick Cannon is going to be a great dad and spoof he turns into one. There might be a tad of a disappointment on the horizon for Mariah Carey if she really has these expectations.

The Lovely Bones star Susan Sarandon said she ‘constantly’ embarrasses her children.

The 63-year-old plays the role of Grandma Lynn in Peter Jackson’s new movie.

Sarandon is married to actor Tim Robbins, 51, and they have two sons Jack Henry, 20, and Miles, 17. She also has a 24-year-old daughter, Eva, from a previous relationship.

Asked if she and hubby Tim embarrass their kids, she told UK magazine Psychologies: “Constantly. I’ve given up being defensive about it. If you’re breathing, you’re an embarrassment.

“I haven’t done any naked scenes [for a long time]. They’ll point out something I did earlier and ask, ‘Did it never occur to you that you might have a child?’

“I say, ‘No, it didn’t’. But I accept them, they have to learn to accept me.”

An Ohio police chief told a photographer he had access to ultrasound images that belonged to the surrogate mother carrying twins for Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker, a court was told.

The photographer, Justin Steffman of New York, testified that Martins Ferry Chief Barry Carpenter also claimed he had access to a plaster cast of the woman’s stomach, a contract she signed with Parker and other documents.

Michelle Ross, the surrogate mother, has since given birth to twin girls for Parker and Matthew Broderick after her home was broken into and her phone and computer hacked. Carpenter and police chief Chad Dojack from Bridgeport are accused of plotting to sell items they retrieved from Ross’s home during the May break-in.

Steffman, a paparazzo, said Dojack offered to sell him the surrogate’s address and contact information for $1000. He said Carpenter showed him a cell phone photo of the plaster cast in a private meeting at a post office parking lot.

Steffman said he found Ross through her MySpace page and informed her of conversations he had with the police chiefs. The pair are on suspension and facing a number of charges, including felonies.

Uma Thurman has said that she loves being a mum, but needs to get back to work before it kills her career.

The Hollywood star said that she has given up a string of roles over the last seven years because of her children, 11-year-old Maya and seven-year-old Levon.

“I am a mother, but I need to do what I’m good at doing,” Thurman said.

“I’ve been at home for a long time. If I don’t leave soon, I’m literally going to choke my career to death.”

Actress and reality star Denise Richards says she has mixed feelings about sending her daughter Sam to kindergarten.

Richards, who has two daughters with ex-husband Charlie Sheen – Lola Rose, four, and Sam, five – is feeling confused about her eldest starting kindergarten.

At the recent Much Love Animal Rescue’s third annual summer fundraiser Bow Wow WOW Howlywood! in Los Angeles, she said: “It’s bittersweet.

“Sami starts kindergarten, which I cannot believe, in a couple of weeks. I’m so sad about it.”

The 38-year-old thinks time has flown by since her little girl was born, saying: “I can’t believe how fast five years have gone.”

She added: “I’m very proud of her and very happy, but from here on out she’s in school.”

Denise openly supports the Much Love charity’s mission as she has always loved animals.

She said: “Ever since I was little I always brought home every little stray dog who didn’t have a home. My daughters love animals as well, so I can’t help it.”

Jennifer Garner has revealed that she cleans the toilets at her daughter Violet’s preschool when she is not posing on the red carpet.

The 37-year-old mother-of-two says that she gets her hands dirty when she and husband Ben Affleck stay in his hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“I fell hard for this place,” the actress said. “At this point, I know all the mums at the playground. Honestly, I fit right in.

“I’ve never been one to paint myself up Hollywood-style – I’m just not good at that. I don’t have a healthy dose of that kind of vanity – although I wish I did, because then you know how to be cute when you need to be cute.

“On the other hand, I’m not as good at the whole hippie mum thing as the mums I’ve met here [in Cambridge], although I do scrub the potty at Violet’s cooperative prep-school.”

Garner shoots down the myth that she is an action-type superhero like the secret agent she played in Alias.

“It always makes me laugh when people think of me as ‘action’ because it’s just so not me,” she says. “When I hear that, I’m like ‘Wow – we really do only know what we know about someone.’

“To them, I say: ‘Great, go ahead, knock yourself out.’ They don’t know that all I wanted to do in college was Shakespeare.”
