The only high-flying action Tobey Maguire is going to get is from being Spider-Man. The star says he’s thought about bungee jumping and skydiving, but he won’t go through with it now that Ruby Sweetheart, 5 1/2 months, is back at home.
I’d consider skydiving now, but my fiancee [Jennifer Meyer] is like, ‘Tobey, you’re notskydiving.’ It would be a shame if something happened and I missed mydaughter’s life. That would be a drag.

Tina Fey had quite the ride to the hospital en route to giving birth toher daughter, Alice Zenobia, now 19 1/2 months, with husband JeffRichmond.
I ended up on all fours in the back of a taxi with my husband on the way to the hospital.
Thoughthat sounds crazy, Tina says the birth itself went along smoothly,thanks to the help of Stadol, a narcotic generally used to reduce pain,and an epidural, which are the first drugs the comedienne has evertaken.
I had a very lucky and good experience. Once I got in the hospital, Ivery quickly accepted Stadol, which is a narcotic. A lot of women wouldsay it’s bad to do that because you are giving your baby a narcotic.But she’s fine. She’s really, really fine. When I woke up, somehow Iwas almost completely dilated and the nurses were congratulating me.Then I had an epidural, and I was lucky that it was a good one andeffective. I always knew I wanted an epidural. I am not a daredevil. Ihad lived a drug-free life until that moment. I had never done anyrecreational drugs, and I felt like I had saved them all up for themoment when that baby was coming.
Previouslya "drug virgin" because she heeded Nancy Reagan‘s advice to abstainfrom them, Tina wants Alice to know that important little fact.
I have had surgeries before when I’ve been unconscious, but I havenever used any kind of recreational drug. I want to be on record sayingthis, so my daughter can see it one day in the future. I have neverdone any drugs! I am extremely square and obedient in nature!
Tina says it’s been hard working on 30 Rock and being a mom, but she’s lucky she’s able to bring Alice to the set.
I try to have Alice visit the set 1 or 2 days a week, which is nice.She comes for a couple of hours at lunchtime. It’s good, but in someways I feel bad because I look around at the crew, and their kids haveto stay at home in day care. So I feel a little bit like a spoiled brat.

To paraphrase my father, he always said: ‘don’t take any crap fromanybody.’ I’ve had a lot of people advise me in this industry to get athicker skin and turn a blind eye to the vicious trends of the tabloidpublications and blog-sites, and their dangerous effects on youngwomen, and society in general. But if I were to follow their advice,and do nothing, I feel I would only be perpetuating something which Ibelieve to be fundamentally wrong. I stand by my original posting.
Originally posted May 1st at 12:05 am:Aspiring singer Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of Billy and ChristieBrinkley, has responded to a recent post by Perez Hilton on Alexa,which maligned the 21-year-old’s looks, saying she’s "not bad,actually, just no supermodel." Alexa addressed the issue in her latestMySpace blog, venting her frustration with Perez, the mediaperpetuating a "supermodel" appearance and assuring that she’scomfortable with her "exotic" features.
I know it’s ridiculous, and I should have a thicker skin by nowand just plain NOT CARE, but I can’t help but be a little bummed outbecause the incredibly cruel, bullying Perez Hilton (this tabloid guywho calls himself the ‘queen of media’) just put up a horrible pictureof me on his site and basically in so many words called me ugly, orrather, wrote that I’m ‘not that bad, actually, I’m just nosupermodel’…I just feel like saying: ‘YES, my mom and I look completelydifferent, and I’m OK with that. I like that I look unique, or more’exotic’–I don’t want to look like everybody else, and I also don’twant to look like a supermodel–I just want to look like ME!’…I’m just so OVER being compared to my mom looks-wise! I’mhappy to have a lot of my father’s features (especially his eyes andlips)–I think he’s very handsome, and I’m quite sick of hearing peoplecall HIM ugly–I think he has a very soulful face–the face of someonewith character and integrity–who has LIVED, and has somethingimportant to say.
There was even some blogger on there picking a part the appearanceof my 8 year-old sister–it made me sick to my stomach to see that. She’sjust a little girl–and she’s my adorable, beautiful little sister! Icried my eyes out when I saw that, I was so disgusted.
…So if these imperfections are what our partners end up growing to loveso much about us, why isn’t this celebrated as a natural, human truth?Why is it hidden, and replaced with this false truth that everybody’ssupposed to aspire to look like a ‘supermodel’ (whatever looking like asuper-model entails–I have no clue). When my mom saw that Perez Hilton thing, she was like, ‘OK, what’s hispoint?–I have hundreds of bad pictures taken of me, and I’m asupermodel! Should I release them to the media so everyone can see thatNOBODY is perfect?’ (I love her for that).
