As my twitter followers know,  I was at the L.A. Lakers game Sunday.  It was wonderful:  an afternoon date with the hubby, box seats, VIP treatment at the Royal Room, margaritas, court-side view of hottie comedian Russell Brand, Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman & Jack Nicholson and of course, the world famous Lakers.  Who could

I thought I'd never write about or in anyway participate in the Octomom Madness that has swept the nation. Recent events have proven me wrong, but I will speak of "her" only in the broader context of child protection and child labor laws.   As Parents we should be our childrens' advocates in life and as

I espouse the philosophy that as Momagers, the entertainment business needs to be all about our kids and their experiences whether they're stars, working actors or newbies just getting started in the business.   However, as a business person, brand advocate and a full-fledged marketing addict, I'm throwing that philosophy completely aside for the day.

Don’t look now Momagers, but Forbes just called you a “Neologism”

A couple of witty word-smiths over at Forbes are explaining how and why newly coined words, phrases and abbreviations nudge their way into our everyday, accepted vocabulary; essentially how a "Neologism" is born.  We think they missed the mark defining momager (mother and manager of any child actor celeb or otherwise) but agree that it's

Update: Before this blog posted yet another public fight was reported, this time between Lindsay and mother Dina at sushi hot spot Nobu, Beverly Hills. As usual, paparazzi were there to document every lurid moment. The Hollywood Mom Blog intentionally refrains from reposting most reports of poorly behaved child stars and their dysfunctional parents - aka

Not many people hold the title of both child actor and celebrity offspring simultaneously; even fewer hold those titles and transition successfully to television stardom by early adulthood.  This makes Hayden Panettiere a rare breed indeed.  According to a recent interview with "In Style" Magazine, one time child actor and now star of  the hit

I love hearing about the "happy" side of acting for kids - child stars and former child stars included.  Ralph Macchio is today's case in point.  While I don't believe that his career path has been rose-laden, I do know that former child star Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid, Outsiders) is continuing to successfully forge his

Momager Starla Efron is in the news.  In what can be categorized as 'Too Much Information," the LA Times, People Magazine and every other media outlet are reporting on the contents of Zac Efron's Christmas stocking: an economy package of condoms, which is apparently the gift you need when you're dating Vanessa Hudgens.  Or at least that's what Starla Efron
