Minnie Driver Talks About Being A Single Mom
Minnie Driver says being a single mother is like an “insane earthquake”.
The British actress and singer - who has always refused to name her son’s father – is amazed at how much her life has changed since she gave birth to 13-month-old Henry, but is now used to putting him first.
“If he’s sleeping I’m trying to sleep and when you’re breast feeding you’re the milk machine.
“There’s no time to pick up the guitar, much less go for a walk or have a beer. The first year of Henry’s life has been just an insane earthquake for me.”
The 39-year-old star – who is preparing to start work on a new album – says she always planned to be an older mom because her movie and music commitments were as fulfilling to her as raising a family. She added to Parade magazine:
“I waited a long time to have children because I had this career that was kind of like my kid, it required as much nurturing.
“There’s no amount of hassle that could be bigger than my love of Henry.”
The ‘Motherhood’ star has sought advice on raising Henry from an internet support group, but admits her schedule is so hectic she scarcely has the time to use the resource properly.
"I use the site called 'Mamapedia' that's amazing, where you can ask questions and mothers across America can answer, so you can get maybe ten answers and it's kind of a cool resource. But sitting down and reading about somebody else's tough experiences of being a mother, you're suddenly like, 'My God, I've got a kid and I don't have time to read about this. I've got to go do it."
I never heard of that site! I have to check it out. When I was pregnant with both of my children, I was a member of high risk pregnancy support groups and they were my lifesaver. It really helped to talk to other people who were hospitalized and understood what I was going through. Did you join online groups when you were expecting?
Minnie Driver Calls Her Son "A Big Flirt"

Minnie Driver's little boy, Henry, may be only one year old, but he's already interested in ladies, according to his mother.
"He blows kisses at ladies in the supermarket. He's a big flirt! Big blue eyes, white-blond head of hair — he's very handsome," Minnie gushed to In Touch about her too-cute tot at the Gotham magazine premiere of her new film, the aptly titled Motherhood.
"He's walking, he's starting to say a few words, he snuggles with the dog. He’s just heaven!" Minnie added.
Too cute! Henry was born in September 2008, and his father's identity has never been disclosed.
Are you looking forward to seeing 'Motherhood,' where Minnie co-stars with Uma Thurman?

Celebrities Out With Their Children
Marcia Cross and Tom Mahoney took their twin daughters Eden and Savannah to Santa Monica beach and the park over the weekend for a little outdoor fun. I always love hearing their names. Eden and Savannah instantly brings a sense of calm to me. I guess because I associate both locations with serenity and beauty.
Minnie Driver was seen carrying her son Henry in Cross Creek Park looking a bit and frustrated. Wonder if it was a difficult feeding?

The Paparazzi Worked Their Way Into Uma Thurman's New Movie
We've all seen (and, let's face it, enjoyed ;) the pictures of celeb moms and their children in the park. Paparazzi attention is part of being a celebrity. For Uma Thurman's and Minnie Driver's new movie, 'Motherhood,' the paparazzi became such a pervasive influence that they got into a scene in the movie!
'Motherhood' director Katherine Dieckmann told E! Online's Marc Malkin that watching the paparazzi hound celebrity moms at NYC parks inspired her to include a scene in the movie with that happening. Jodie Foster agreed to do a cameo as the celebrity being hounded by paps.
And true to life, the real paparazzi were hounding Uma and Minnie at the same time.
"One day, Minnie was queasy, it was hot out and these guys would not
leave her alone," Dieckmann said. "She was so hormonal and started
screaming at them and then they starting snapping her. I stepped
between her and the paparazzi and go, 'She's pregnant!...Like f--king
be a human being for one second. They all left except for one guy, who
was like, 'I just have to get my shot, man!' "So Dieckmann struck a deal with him: "We actually let him be in that scene with Foster to leave Uma and Minnie alone."
It worked.
"And then the night before [Foster's shoot], Jodie says to me, 'You
know, if you want to write me a line, you can write me a line,' "
Dieckmann remembered with a laugh. "I was like, 'OK, I will write you a line.' So I wrote her, 'Go work in a soup kitchen, you f--king parasites!' "
LOL! Who says film isn't true to life?
Here's a description of the film. Does it sound like something you want to see?

Celebrities Out With Their Children
Beautiful weather. Relaxing weekend. A few celebrities spent their Saturday afternoons with their little ones.
- Minnie Driver took baby Henry to Malibu Park for the day. He is just getting so big!
- Melanie Griffith and her daughter Stella went on a shopping spree at The Grove. Has anyone been shopping this weekend? INSANE! I bought my kids' entire summer wardrobe for under $300!
- Madonna and her children visited the Kabbalah Center in NYC. Lourdes is still showing off her unique style of dressing.
- Michelle Williams took her daughter, Matilda Ledger, for a scooter ride after picking up her morning coffee in Brooklyn.
I just noticed all the moms I wrote about in this post have names that start with the letter M. Yes, it's Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. This is about as breaking as it's going to get. LOL!!! ;)

Naomi Watts And Minnie Driver Spend Time With Their Sons
Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber enjoyed a gorgeous day walking around the East Village with their son Alexander and adorable little dog. It's always a treat to see this family together if only because Liev makes for some nice eye candy. :)
Minnie Driver made a rare public appearance with her son Henry and a friend as they played at the Malibu Park in Los Angeles this past weekend.
There truly isn't anything better than being able to play with your kids and spend time with your family. I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day...
