Got you on the head, huh? Kind of an easy target, it’s big and you’ve got that ridiculous hair.

You’ll think it frivolous of me to say I knew I’d marry her on that first date. The truth is I fell in love with her when she hit me with that bottle. She chose me, bottled me and cuffed me. And now this is my life, my girl, this beautiful woman.

Gideon Scott, Harper Grace born

Birth0 Comments

harper-and-gideon-burtka-harrisFraternal twins Gideon Scott (boy) and Harper Grace (girl) are born to Harris and Burkah with the help of a surrogate mother. Each of the men is a biological father to one of the twins. Harris:

The one thing that I am so appreciative of that my parents did to us is talk to us like we were regular people, and didn’t talk to us like we were little babies. We’re going to tell them information. I want them to have information. The way that they were brought into this world was very unique and weirdly scientific, and the technology involved in it, I think, is remarkable. It came because we really, really wanted kids. We really had thought it through financially, emotionally, relationship wise. We didn’t accidentally get pregnant and decide that now we need to make this work. These kids come in to our world with nothing but love.

Confirms he is father of Thandekile Matina Zuma

Birth0 Comments

Zuma confirms that he has had a child, his 20th, with Sonono Khoza, daughter of his old friend and soccer tycoon Irvin Khoza. The child was born October 8, 2009.

I said during World Aids Day that we must all take personal responsibility for our actions. I have done so…I have done the necessary cultural imperatives in a situation of this nature, for example the formal acknowledgement of paternity and responsibility, including the payment of inhlawulo to the family…The matter is now between the two of us, and culturally, between the Zuma and Khoza families.

He also criticizes the media for naming the child:

Both the Child Care Act and the new Children’s Act also provides for the protection of children from exploitation. The naming of the child’s parents has essentially exposed her to the public, which has serious implications in the long-term for her, and amounts to the exploitation referred to in the Act, because the media is making money out of the matter…The media is also in essence questioning the right of the child to exist and fundamentally, her right to life. It is unfortunate that the matter has been handled in this way. I sincerely hope that the media will protect the rights of children.

Death0 Comments

dan-gordon-levitt-240Gordon-Levitt dies from an alleged drug overdose. His unconscious body was discovered in the early hours of the morning and taken to a nearby hospital, where he is pronounced dead. The two brothers were co-founders of the multi-media collaborative community HitRECord Productions, which they promoted at Sundance in January. Known as “Burning Dan”, he was a Flow Arts teacher, fire dancer, and photographer. The actor’s brother, Joseph, writes:

Burning Dan brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as “the creative spirit.” He was my chief collaborator on the foundational incarnations of hitRECord.org over the years and continues to inspire us ever the more. He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while.

LaBeouf, Mulligan split

Breakup0 Comments

LaBeouf and Mulligan break up over their “incompatible lifestyles.”  LaBeouf says there was friction in the relationship because Mulligan was more interested in marriage and children while he was not ready to settle down.

Carey is not just an actress, she is a great human being, a sweet girl and super intelligent.  Our thing came down to not having compatible work/lifestyles.  We were always traveling, and had sensibility differences that weren’t conductive to living with one another.

LaBeouf says he’s not opposed to marriage, just that he’s still young.

I come from divorce.  I’m only doing marriage once. It’s not a game for me.  I’m not a religious person, but I have ethics.
