Jakey Boy Embraces New Role As Godfather

Â Heath & Jakey Boy.jpg

The Superficial, alwaysÂ dependably hilarious and devious has some words on old Jakey boy.

“Brokeback Mountain co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger have become so close that Ledger has asked Gyllenhaal to be godfather to his 4-month-old daughter Matilda. Gyllenhaal credits the movie with building a unique bond between them. He says, “Heath and I are best friends now — making the film was very intense for us. I’m actually godfather to Heath’s daughter Matilda, which is an amazing honor. Almost as amazing as the night he covered me in warm cocoa and called me Mr. Pickles. I think he might have been drunk.”

Ok, I may have doctored those last two lines a bit. This is a nice, heartwarming story, so I don’t really have much to say. But I’ll be curious to see little Matilda’s reaction to all this as she grows up. In most circumstances, stumbling across a DVD of Dad having sex with your godfather can lead to some awkward questions. Particularly if they’re both dressed as mimes. And weeping. And using your bed. And you get the DVD for Christmas.”

Ahhh, they always tickle my fancy,Â thatÂ Superficial.Â Â

Look for Britney Spears at Mardi Gras

Posted by Allison as Odds & Ends at 7:04 AM UTC on Feb, 14 2006

Forget the beads, the boobs, the food, the music, the floats, the king cakes- be at Mardi Gras this year because our favorite new young mother will be in attendance.Â Britney Spears, the 24-year-old pop goddess herself will be participating in Mardi Gras 2006, in what capacity we can only guess.

"I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year," Spears said in a statement Monday afternoon.Â "It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved."Â

Spears, a Louisiana native, will also appear on ABC's Good Morning America on Fat Tuesday (February 28) when the morning show reports live from the famous & recently devastated New Orleans.Â ABC announced that Spears will bring "surprises for a group of very deserving young residents."Â You think it might be car seats for the little infants & toddlers?

Last week photos were published of the diva driving with her 4-month-old son, Sean Preston,Â sitting in her lap whilst driving insteadÂ of the usual keep-the-infant-strapped-in-the-freekin-car-seatÂ approach.Â But Britney has always done it her way.Â Yesterday Transportation Secretary (do we really have one of those- it's all so British) Norman Mineta chided Spears as "Irresponsible" for driving with her baby on her lap and announced a new initiative to improve child car seat safety.Â Tomorrow we'll probably see Britney advocating the use of car seats, kinda like Kate Moss promoting a drug-free lifestyle.

The Sensitive Side of Bruce

Bruce & Fam.jpg

So your ex-wife and mother of your three children remarries a man 15 years her junior.Â What would you do?Â Embrace the young man of 27 and make the best of things, or get the kids out of dodge and call her crazy?

Well, Bruce Willis has shown us all up.Â His ex-wife Demi Moore, 42, and the Punk'd star Ashton Kutcher, 27, were married on the evening of September 24, 2005 at their home in Beverly Hills with Bruce a guest of honor.

When asked byÂ the Insider how he feels about his relationship with his ex-wife's new hubby Bruce had this to say, "I know it's odd.Â People can't figure it out, but we are friends."

Looks like Willis had us all fooled with his tough man, die hard exterior.Â Bruce, now 50, appreciates the good things in life.Â He has three daughters with Moore and they are the love of his life.

"Everything becomes stupid once you have kids," he explains.Â "How can I make this happen for myself- for my career?Â It all seems so stupid.Â The product of that is Demi and I have three beautiful young women now, and I found out that I'm a good dad.Â I like being a dad.Â I want to have some more kids."

What a sweetie.Â You know, I can't help but notice that it seems like he is just waiting for the right, fertile woman to come around and make him a new daddy.Â Any takers?

Straight from Punxsutawney Phil, Six More Weeks of Winter

Punxsutawney Phil.jpg Â

Straight from Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow. In a tradition going on 120 years, the Philadelphia resident celebrity groundhog has proclaimed six more weeks of this grueling winter season.

In an eloquent, impromptu speech, Phil stilled the audience with the following words:

"It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Around the country there are many imitators of me.
In Harrisburg there is Gus who appears on TV working for the lottery.
Then all around town, cute groundhog statues abound. They all look like me, I found.
Today on the Knob as I'm doing my job, I don't like this likeness of me.
It's my shadow I see. Six more weeks of mild winter there will be."

Phil has said it all, who knew a member of the rodent family could hold such wisdom? Bundle up everyone, we're in for another six weeks of moderate temperatures and suffering ski resort profits.
