Like mother, like son!
David Otunga says that David Daniel Jr., his 6-month-old son with fiancée Jennifer Hudson, continues to have a “musical ear” — just like his songstress mom. “One of his favorite things is to hear the piano,” David Sr. tells E!
“Jennifer will play the piano or sing to him, and he will calm down immediately. We had a guy over once tuning the piano and he was pecking the keys, and David started trying to sing and imitate the notes. It was the most unbelievable thing.”
Baby boy does his fair share of taking after dad, too, however. Calling David Jr. “unbelievably strong,” David Sr. — who is training to become a professional wrestler as part of World Wrestling Entertainment’s new reality show NXT — reveals his son is already crawling.
“Literally, over a span of just a week, he started inching along and now he’s a full-fledged crawler.”
NXT airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m.

Dressing the part of a three-time Model of the Year honoree, Claudia Schiffer is high style from head to toe while dropping off children Caspar Matthew, 7, and Clementine, 5, at school today in London.
While her top accentuates her bump — the 39-year-old supermodel expects her third child in May — Claudia recently told Celebrity Baby Blog she’s not a fan of maternity clothes. “My advice would be to get things a few sizes bigger and have them tailored to fit,” she said.
Caspar, Clementine and baby-on-the-way are Claudia’s children with husband Matthew Vaughn, whom she married in 2002.

It’s often easy to forget that lifelong beliefs about gender and race can be shaped by something as innocent as a cartoon. Several years ago, when Geena Davis began watching preschooler television programming and G-rated movies with her now 7 ½-year-old daughter Alizeh Keshvar, she was shocked not so much by what she saw — but instead by what she didn’t see.
“It jumped out at me,” she recently explained to the Sydney Morning Herald. “There was this huge gender gap.”

Admittedly — as the star of the girl-centric smash hit Thelma & Louise — the 54-year-old actress says she has a “heightened awareness of the paucity of parts for female actors.” That the practice had filtered down to kid programming came as somewhat of a surprise to Geena, however, who adds,
“You just expect Sesame Street took care of everything and now it’s all educational. So I thought, ‘You know what? I would like to know the facts.’”
She wasn’t alone. Shortly thereafter the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California began analyzing the portrayals of male and female characters in 101 of the top-grossing G-rated movies from 1990 to early 2005. The study — which Geena helped raised funds for — ultimately revealed that girls made up just 28% of all speaking characters. Minorities were also drastically underrepresented, with 85.5% of all characters being white.
With the goal of supporting positive change and the belief that a fair representation of female characters would advance gender equity and women’s empowerment, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media (GDIGM) was created in 2007. It focuses on getting more females into movies, TV, and other media aimed at kids 11 and under, while also serving as a resource for the entertainment industry as a whole.
