Stream the Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack!

Let the wild rumpus begin! The Where the Wild Things soundtrack is now streaming online in all its emo glory. And although I’m sure it will betray some lack of musical breeding, I have to admit I dig soundtracks that incorporate clips from the action rather than straight songplay. In this case, it gives us that extra taste of rumpus-ing and what not that the trailer hasn’t provided.

Let’s get this straight. An adult male sleeps with a thirteen-year-old child, gets convicted, then runs away. And Samantha Geimer says she got over Roman Polanski having sex with her long ago, so we should all get over it and leave him alone? The court of public opinion has swayed toward Polanski rather quickly since his arrest over the weekend, with entire countries (not just bloggers) calling for his release. Geimer’s declaration that she “got over it a long time ago” has only fueled the fire.

Kanye Interrupts Little Kids

A lot of the outrage against Kanye West last week seemed to center around Taylor Swift’s age. At nineteen, folks said, she’s just a kid. Perhaps the outrage should have held off on the indignation. The rude rapper’s moved on to Strawberry Shortcake, Lazy Town’s Stephanie and some of our favorite kids. A taste:

Suri Cruise’s Heels: Good Enough for Your Kid?

Let’s face it: I’m old. And I chase a four-year-old around. I don’t get to wear anything higher than a sneaker these days. So call it jealousy . . . or sanity . . . I was a tad disturbed when I saw Suri Cruise strutting her stuff in kitten heels the other day. Reported by our own Sunny Chanel over on Babble’s Droolicious, the picture shows the world’s most famous three-year-old in a pair of sparkly heels that are definitely higher than anything I’ve worn in the past five years (four years of my child’s life PLUS pregnancy).

They Say: Born in Winter, You’ll Never Catch Up

What if the day you’re born, you could already tell how long you’ll live and how well you’ll do in school? Scientists think they can. But where studies have long posited that a winter birthday is to blame for poor test scores, lower earnings and poor long-term health, there’s a new theory about birthdays.

Ellen Pompeo Names Her Kid for a Fruit Bat

When I heard the name of Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo’s new baby girl, I took a page from the Godfather and went for the mattresses. Well, a little to the left of the mattress, actually - the kid’s bookshelf. Because Pompeo’s pick had a ring to it that was awfully familiar. And then I found it - Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery (Ellen is married to Chris Ivery) does indeed share her name with a fruit bat created by Janell Cannon.

Miss Virginia Shaves Her Head

n January, she took to the stage in a black bikini to compete for the Miss America crown. This week, Miss Virginia 2008 Tara Wheeler sat down to shave her hair off to help fight kid’s cancer. She passed her crown on in June, so Wheeler doesn’t need the locks that will be shorn to hold it up anymore. Instead, she’s turning her head into a walking billboard of sorts for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a national non-profit which raises money for children’s cancer research and treatment.

Gays, Kids Books and Why You Can’t Take ‘em Off the Shelves

The book contained “pro-gay” messages, so why does one librarian in Colorado remind a questioning patron the book very much belongs in the children’s section? Because children’s books aren’t about children’s topics. In a measured and balanced response to a patron’s demands that Uncle Bobby’s Wedding be cast off the shelves of the Douglas County Libraries, a librarian offers a look beyond the issues of any particular book and any adult’s particular viewpoint.

Dad Shaves Shoplifting Daughter’s Head

Talk about extreme discipline. A Florida roofer has been arrested for shaving his daughter’s head as a punishment. The girl, he said, shoplifted jewelry from Wal-Mart, then later used a Game Boy without permission. He’s also been charged with using a belt on the eleven-year-old girl. And his charge of child abuse has been tied in court documents to both the physical abuse of the belt and the mental implications of shaving the girl’s head.

Charles Dickens Was a Stickler for Neat Bedrooms

It seems odd taking parenting advice from the guy whose best-loved characters were orphans, but a new biography on Charles Dickens is apparently shedding light on the OCD way to get your kids to clean up their rooms. The Oliver Twist and Great Expectations‘ author had a penchant for making inspections of his kids’ bedrooms and leaving them detailed notes when he decided they weren’t up to snuff. Perhaps his desire for having everything ship-shape and bristol fashion came from a childhood spent sharing an attic bedroom with four other Dickenses?

They call it the Lil’ King, and there’s no doubt this snarling pair of Billy Bob teeth for babies is straight outta “the ghetto.” Elvis sang it honey – “don’t you understand, that child needs a helping hand,” so slip this hilarious pacifier in their mouth and let them suck their way to sleep.
