Some of us at Mamarazzi are really good at keeping up with the times. Others of us are really only fully aware of a celebrity's existence when he or she has been around long enough to be designated an "icon," a "legend of the silver screen," or a "dinosaur."
This is because some of us are ... well, not to put too fine a point on it ... young. While others of us are not.
But there's one thing that unites the Mamarazzi mothers. We are all keenly aware of the many, many occasions when we have embarrassed our children to death. (The kids don't even have to be in their sullen, teen-aged years. They can still be little kids--just little kids who want to look cool.)
When you're iconic screen dinosaur Jodie Foster's son, life is undoubtedly a little ... weird. What with his rumored lesbian grandmother, his mother's long-term companion, and the utter lack of a daddy, normalcy must at times seem an impossible dream.
Therefore, I rejoiced when two-time Academy Award nominee and Yale graduate Jodie Foster demonstrated that she too, is a Dorky Mom.
Recently, at the The University of Pennsylvania's 250th commencement, Foster had the bad judgement to channel Eminem.
Now, somewhere out there, little eight-year-old Charlie "One Shot" Foster is probably shuddering.
But here at Mamarazzi, we would like to assure him that it's not so bad. Sure, your middle-aged white mother is singing hip hop. In public. But guess what? That makes you normal. You're not a normal American child until you're writhing in agony over some dumb thing your mother does.
So embrace the humiliation. Get to know it. Because in a perfect world, children would get to know the Silence of the Mom(s). But this isn't a perfect world.
Welcome to the real world, Charlie.
Doesn't she have a 2nd child from the same sperm donor? Color me an idiot, I didn't know she was a lesbian. Damn, that explains so much now! D'oh!!!
Hey, I'm with Angie... I too didn't know she was a lesbian!
It's one of those things you find out if you dig around a little bit. If you do a search on Jodie Foster, your search engine will probably suggest "Did you mean 'Jodie Foster lesbian'"? Not that I have a problem with that, but it's bad enough being the child of a movie star without having a turkey baster for a father. Seems to me a recipe for disaster.
But what do I know? After all, I'm the ignoramus who thought Denise Richards was that annoying aerobics woman.
It is public knowledge she is a lesbian, she has been out for quite some time (10 years or more) and she has a 2nd child too that is only a couple of years behind Charlie.
I think her 2nd boy's name is Kit or Kix...one of those.
