Dean McDermott On His Family's Holiday Traditions
| Dec 10, 2009 by CAROLYN ROBERTSON |
Reality star dad Dean McDermott is looking forward to the holidays! The star of the TV movie Santa Baby 2, who has kids Liam, 2, and Stella, 1, with his wife Tori Spelling and son Jack, 11, from a previous relationship, chatted to Entertainment Tonight about a few of his favorite things about the holiday season.
On his favorite holiday memory: "I have a very funny one. I remember my middle sister Dawn dancing with my dad on Christmas day. My mom was really proud of her white, fake Christmas tree. My dad spun Dawn and they took the tree right out. My mom was pretty steamed, but we all had a good laugh."
On his and Tori's family traditions: "We are starting a tradition. Every year we adopt a family and make sure they have presents under the tree and all the things they need for the holiday. Our tradition is to gather our friends and family, lock all the doors and do a lot of nothing. Open the presents and graze all day and have a big turkey dinner at the end of the day."
Jennie Finch Olympian & Mom
| Aug 13, 2008 by JENNY SCHAFER |
Jennie Finch, member of the USA defending gold medal softball team, is currently competing at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. The downside? Being away from her 2-year-old son, Ace Shane, with husband (Minnesota Twins AAA league pitcher) Casey Daigle. Jennie said she is keeping in touch with Ace over the phone while she competes in China,
“The other day we counted to 11 on the phone. You just have to kind of trick him, you know, to talk about giraffes or elephants or something like that. He told me he loves me to the moon and back the other night. They did say though that he saw me on TV the other night at Opening Ceremonies and he shouted, ‘Momma’ and was jumping off the couches, so, that kind of made it all better, knowing that he’s hopefully a proud two-year-old back home.”
Jennie is also known for her role on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice last winter.
