“Baby Mama” Amy Poehler Mamas her Baby

The gestational surrogate star of Baby Mama, Amy Poehler, and funny hubby Will Arnett show off their 5 month old punch line during a stroll in LA. Don’t worry, Big Applers.  The couple resides in NYC, so it’s certain you’ll catch some sightings, too.  Heck, maybe you’ll even see them hangin’ out with Tina Fey and her family. Take THAT, LA!

How cute is he?! Little Archibald ‘Archie’ William Emerson, 5 months, made his public debut in Los Angeles yesterday while on an Easter Sunday stroll with mom and dad. The little guy — who has big baby blue eyes — was cracking up, probably due to his parents’ great jokes! Archie is the first child for actors and comedians Will Arnett, 38, and Amy Poehler, 37, who married in 2003.

Paul Rudd = Earth Father

Enough with the “Earth mother” bit. Paul Rudd, NYC celebu-papa extraordinaire, plays “Mr. Earth” in this new DVD that teaches the wee ones to be “green” …and gives mommy (or daddy) sumpthin’ purty to gaze at.

“Elmo turns green in this all new DVD premiere!

Watch as Elmo and Abby pitch in to help Mr. Earth (actor Paul Rudd in a hilariously large costume) host Sesame Street’s first Earth-a-Thon. Mr. Earth teaches Elmo and Abby how “it can be easy being green” by recycling, re-using, and conserving water and energy. Abby, in her desire to help Elmo be more “green”, accidentally turns him the color green and can’t remember how to change him back! Lots of fun ensues as Abby is eventually able to poof Elmo red again. Elmo, Cookie Monster, Rosita and Telly join Mr. Earth in pledging to continue to do “green” things to help our planet because Earth Rocks!”

“Wee” Love this Smart Nursery Art

San Francisco artist Nicky Batill shares with us the inspiration for creating her chic children’s art…and why “wee” need to join forces to woo Paul Rudd. Check out her adorable, one-of-a-kind designs at wee san francisco.

Q: When did you realize you could actually sell your artwork? I mean, I used to cut out animals and use Elmer’s glue, too! But aside from my Aunt Rose, no one ever claimed they were good enough to sell…

A: That’s a good question! I’ve always been a crafty kind of gal and would make cards and little pieces of art for friends as birthday gifts and the such. Once they all started having kids, I began making art for their children’s nurseries too as shower gifts. Word spread and before I knew it I was making nursery art for friends of friends of friends. That was when I realized that there were mothers out there who were looking for truly unique artwork for their children and that my work really appealed to them (and to my Aunt Rose too, of course)

 

Q: Why do you focus on art for nurseries and kids’ rooms? What was the inspiration?

A: To be honest, I have the distinct blessing/curse that everything I draw ends up looking, for lack of a better word, cute. I’ve never really fought it because I would rather spend hours drawing and creating a sweet little bird that makes me happy rather than something maybe a bit deeper and darker. And I think that the style of cut paper illustration that I use has a childlike quality that works really well in nurseries and kids’ rooms.

 

Paul: This would look great in Jack's room. I'll come by and personally hang it for you.

 

Q: What celebrity moms and dads have purchased your art for their celebuspawn? If When lovely Paul Rudd invites me over to his pad to chilax, will I see your artwork on his son’s walls?

A: You’ll see it if you can sneak it in for me! I haven’t done much to market to all the celebrity mommies out there but it would be great if some of them would see my work one of these days. I did have the pleasure of doing a segment with Martha Stewart on her show, but I’m pretty sure she is finished having kids. 
