UK star Andrew Lancel and his wife Louise
On what they think of each other as parents:

A: Well Lou is brilliant. She's a really good mother, she's fun and of course, she still looks absolutely gorgeous. The kids she teaches adore her, because she is so great with them, and that's an extension of that. I think we've adapted really well. We were both geared up for it because we'd planned it and really wanted it. But nothing prepares you for the reality of a new baby.

It's tiring and it's continual -- we can leave the dog for four hours, but we can't leave Isaac for four seconds. But we want to be with him every single second. We've shared absolutely everything - we try to keep it all even. Especially as I know there are times when I know I won't see him for days on end when I'm back in work.

L: Andrew is 21st century dad. From the beginning he's done all the middle-of-the-night feeds so I could get some rest, but I've just taken over because he's shattered. As we're married, we obviously have that tight bond, but it has got stronger. We are a complete unit and the priority for both of us is the baby. It's incredible how much it changes you straight away


One thing that's staying the same...

A: Because I've had the time off, it's been great. We've already taken him away with us to hotels. I'm a big foodie and love trying different restaurants, and Isaac's not going to change that.

On the best thing a parent can give a child:

A: Time! It's easy to say, because I know we're all busy, but if you've got two minutes to spend with your child, spend the two minutes and not one minute thirty seconds. We are determined not to miss a moment. That is why he is going everywhere with us. If we are invited to a dinner party, he comes.

Celebrity Nannies: Blessing or Curse?

Bruce Willis & Demi Moore had four at once.

Jude Law slept with his.

Robin Williams ended up marrying his.

Madonna recently had to stop hers from telling all.

Britney Spears got nude in front of hers.

Tom Cruise is said to have the most iron-clad confidentiality agreements with his.

Noel Gallagher and Patsy Kensit have been known to provide flats and sports cars for their's.

But, at what price?

We're talking about nannies of course: the silent backbones of most every celebrity family. Leslie Gornstein from Live Daily interviewed Kim Hong, former nanny to an action-movie mogul's family, and broke down the fundamentals:


Most celebrities have at least three nannies per kid--one for weekdays, one for weeknights and a third for weekends and trips. Lucky nannies get a whole $30 per hour. That's enough to buy, well, nothing, actually, over at Fred Segal and all the other fancy shops where they must take the young (ones) to buy their mini-Uggs.

The nanny is responsible for packing lunches, preparing dinner, playing games, reading bedtime stories, overseeing homework assignments, bathing the children, making sure they brush their teeth, dressing them appropriately, picking up after them, and transporting them to and from school, karate class, the chiropractor, Spanish class, birthday parties at other celebrities' homes and any other trip.

The kids usually end up treating their nannies like assistants."


While most nannies are bound by their confidentiality agreements - Tom Cruise reportedly won't even allow his to divulge who they work for - some go on to make a lucrative career with their celebrity experiences.

Suzanne Hansen's book You'll Never Nanny In This Town Again became a NY Times Bestseller when it promised juicy tidbits about her former employer, Hollywood uber-agent Michael Ovitz, exposing intimate details of his family's life from marital spats to what they ate for dinner.

It makes you wonder, is hiring a nanny worth it? Would you trade your privacy to have the help?

[IMO]

Celebrities parents come by all walks of profession...Actor/Actress , Pop Stars, Television Hosts, Entertainers of any kind, etc. These people chose to have children. Just as non celebrities choose to have children. The only separates between the celebrity and non celebrity is "MONEY'.

No matter what people status are, and if they can afford a nanny or nannies so be it. Having a nanny/nannies doesn't mean that parent doesn't love their child/ren or they are not involve with their child/ren.

So what those celebrities' children receives spotlight. Who really cares. Is it because they won't have a normal kid life. Who says the won't unless the media keeps hounding the poor little ones and their parents. If I were a celebrity, I would shield my children and plus have a nanny. My children still would be able to live a normal life.

Let me say also, these celebrities have parents just like non celebrities..Perhaps their parents were involve in having children. Parents always hint that they wish to become grandparents :-)
