Dennis Quaid Kickin’ It With the Kids in Maui
Father’s Day will certainly have special meaning for Dennis Quaid this weekend. After all, it was just seven short months ago that the actor’s newborn twins were facing the fight of their lives.
Now fully recovered, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace (not pictured) are with their daddy this week in Hawaii, where he’s being honored at the Maui Film Festival.
But the G.I. Joe star isn’t the only celebrity pop who will be doting over his darling little ones come Sunday. Choose your favorite Tinseltown father in our Hollywood’s Hottest Dad poll.
Gwyneth Paltrow Contemplates More Rugrats
Gwyneth Paltrow may already have her hands full with a couple of little onesApple, 4, and Moses, 2. But the Iron Man star hasn’t ruled out the possibility of adding to her and Coldplay hubby Chris Martin’s brood.
“I may force myself to do it one more time, because the result is so worth it,” the Oscar winner reveals in the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar, despite the fact that during both her pregnancies she “wanted to throw up all the time.”
Of course, there’s always adoption, which the 35-year-old actress admits to being “very open to…we’re so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity.”
Especially if it means not having to bow down to the porcelain god.
But don’t expect motherhood to completely replace making movies. “One of the things that I realized when I took so much time off is that you’re not just an artist because you fall into the job. It’s something within you, something that burns. It’s not a hobby, it’s a need.”
Jermaine Divorce a Done Deal
It was as easy as 1,2, 3.
Jermaine Jackson and his third wife, Alejandra, have finalized the ABCs of their divorce settlement, per court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Living up to his paternal obligations, the former Jackson 5 singer and older brother of Michael agreed to pay his estranged wife $3,000 a month in child support, $50,000 in back child support and an additional $50,000 for attorney's fees.
In return, Alejandra waived her right to alimony and dropped all claims to Jackson's business, Jermaine Jackson Entertainment Inc., as well as his furniture and the family jewels.
She will also retain physical custody of the couple's two children, 12-year-old Jaafar and 8-year-old Jermajesty. The 53-year-old popster gets visitation rights.
The ex-couple additionally promised to refrain from bashing each other in the presence of the little ones.
Jackson has eight kids altogether from three marriages. He and Alejandro exchanged vows in March 1995, after she ended a relationship with his youngest bro, Randy, with whom she has two teenage children.
Jermaine and Alejandro went their separate ways in November 2004, and the singer took up with current gal-pal Halima Rashid.
Amy Poehler: Real-Life Baby Mama
We never would have pegged Amy Poehler as one to go Method, but there it is.
Fresh off the No. 1 box-office berth of her film Baby Mama comes word that the Saturday Night Live jokester is expecting her first child with equally funny hubby Will Arnett.
The duo's rep, Lewis Kay, tells News that the child is due sometime in late fall.
An exact date has yet to be announced, and it's unclear if the pregnancy will prevent Poehler from being back in time for the traditionally late-starting season of SNL.
Poehler, 36, and Arnett, 37, tied the knot in 2003.
Despite the newly maternal-minded star having endured a series of biological clock-related queries while hyping the Tina Fey-penned comedy (as well for her new Nickelodeon kid-friendly 'toon, The Mighty B!), Poehler managed to refrain from revealing the duck-in-the-oven news until now.
She was less tight-lipped about disclosing what a banner mother she would be should little ones be in her future, however.
"I'm great with kids," she told the New York Daily News earlier this month. "I think I'm still a big giant kid. I understand them and usually we're the same size. I think I understand the way they look up at the world. I get it."
