Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross set an AMAZING example for daughters Eden and Savannah by taking them book shopping at Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica!
It is SO SO SO important for parents to encourage their kids to read as much as possible, and we gotta give major props to Marcia for bringing out the inner bookworm in her twins!
And the best part is it looks like they're having a BLAST doing it! Seriously, they couldn't even wait to get home before cracking open their books!
We always knew Marcia was a fun and cool mom, but this is just awesome!
Ch-ch-check out more pics from their day at the bookstore (below)!
When Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus decided to write a children's book, there was a pretty obvious person to talk to!
He sought the advice of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling!
Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to find out how J.K.- and British fans of The Goonies- helped to make House Of Secrets what it is!
So what did the super successful author have to say about the finished product? She wrote:
"A breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure about the secret power of books, HOUSE OF SECRETS comes complete with three resourceful sibling heroes, a seriously creepy villainess, and barrel loads of fantasy and fear."
Nice! Though she did finish the quote with a JK, so we're really not sure if she liked it or not! LOLz!
The Disney actress just landed a book deal for her young adult series Autumn Falls, and we couldn't be happier for her!
Excited about her books, Miz Thorne said:
“This book, although mysterious and magical, is inspired by different aspects of my personal life, which I hold very near and dear to my heart. I wanted to write a book that teens could relate to, but with a little bit of magic.”
Bella's series is set to be publised by Random House Children’s Books, and we cannot wait to read 'em!!
Ronald Reagan's daughter, Patti Davis just got done writing her lesbian novel, Till Human Voices Wake Us, and although she's extremely proud of her work, she wants everyone to know that her book is NOT the new 50 Shades Of Grey or an autobiography.
While it is a love story and erotic, she doesn't want anyone to confuse her craft, Patti said:
"This is not me. None of it is autobiographical. I didn't want to write 'Fifty Shades of' whatever. It's a love story."
However, after reading a passage from her book, it actually does make us think about 50 Shades.
Earlier we reported Amanda Bynes spent her weekend in Atlantic City and a passerby's spotted her stumbling and reeking of alcohol. Apparently she even lunged at the dude's Dad!
We don't yet know if those allegations are true, but we did find pics of the She's the Man star swimming with new friends!!
In a fresh pic circulating the internets, Mrs. Bynes and her now iconic wig were seen chillaxing in a hot tub on Father's Day with about ten other folks, most of whom wore nothing but a swimsuit and a super-confused facial expression!!!
Maybe they were perplexed as to why Amanda took both her iPhone and camera into the jacuzzi with her!?
We hope she didn't drop those valuable gizmos!!
The most freaked out bystander of them all? Ch-ch-check her out...AFTER THE JUMP!!!
