The Thursday Mom and Pop Culture Report

Your daily(ish) at-a-glance roundup of pop culture news. Because mamas need to know the status of Joaquin Phoenix’s actor-to-rapper mockumentary, too!  (CURRENTLY:  Being shopped around. Also:  Still bizarre.)

  • Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 44, and Hilarie Burton, 27, welcome baby.  In other news, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton are dating?!  [People]
  • Porn queen claims she had fling with Mel Gibson, is cause of break-up with his baby mama.  Nonsense.  Mel is a good Catholic boy!  *Ahem* [Enquirer]
  • If you have time to watch only one thing today, make it this:  Katie Holmes “seducing” Tom Cruise with a dance on-stage.  Somewhere, Suri is filing for emancipation.  [YouTube]
  • Tori and Dean are renewing their vows, “putting those divorce rumors to rest.”  Yes, if you renew your vows, that proves everything is just fine!  (Or need reality show material.  One or the other.)  [Us Weekly]
  • Ellen Pompeo the next to leave ‘Grey’s’?  No biggie.  The show is only NAMED AFTER HER. [Extra]
  • Chaz Bono officially a man!  In related news, Cher officially a synthetic material!  [TMZ]

Candy Kirby is the founder of The Laughing Stork and a professional fun-maker who will never stop chasing her lifelong dream: to find the Pomeranian or porn star after whom her parents must have named her. A humor columnist for Disney, Nickelodeon, Scary Mommy, Reductress and Redbook, she also used to be a staff writer for the soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, where she penned many scripts featuring prolonged heated stares and countless “Who’s the Daddy?” story lines. Candy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two young kids and three rescue Persian cats, the latter of whom are the real brains behind this operation (so send all complaints to them).
