The Jackson Kids

It's coming up to the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death so the Jackson kids are popping up in the papers again.

They're looking so grown up these days; happy, easy going and relaxed are also words that can be used to describe them.

They were photographed making their way to the cinema earlier this week and Blanket (I wonder if he'll decide to change his name one day; I wonder if I would if my parents had called me Blanket...?) was wearing a rather fab' t-shirt that said:

"Plans for today: Wake up, Brush teeth, Be AWESOME!"

I'm going to make that my mantra of the day - so far I've managed two out of three; the awesome is still to come!

Rod and Baby Stewart

Whilst it only seems like yesterday that Michael Jackson's death hit the headlines (well ok, maybe a bit longer than yesterday), it feels like ages ago that I told you about the arrival of Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's new baby, Aiden.

There hasn't been much seen or heard of Rod's seventh child since he was born just four months ago, but he was out and about with his parents yesterday at Salon Prive - a luxury super car event that was being held in Northumberland.

Rod loves fast cars and has a stereotypical red Ferrari so perhaps he was there looking for a custom car seat to fit it, I doubt your bog standard Graco seat does.

I wouldn't drive around in a red Ferrari for love nor money; seriously, I'd rather not have one at all than have a red one. Besides, I'm a Lamborghini girl so I wouldn't be seen dead in a Ferrari anyway *grin*

More outings for Willow Sage

Willow Sage Hart has been out and about with her parents, Pink and Carey Hart, again.

This time she had lunch with them and Pink's mum; I love that they're taking her out and tweeting about how happy they are, I'm not a huge Twitter follower - I have enough trouble keeping up with my own life - but tweets like this will warm the cockles of even the coldest hearts...

We are absolutely blissed out in love over here! To our fans and friends all over the world, thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes throughout this time in our life! Carey is a natural, (I knew he would be) and I finally found out what love really means.

Everybody say 'aaahhhhhh!'

Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster are proud parents once again!

Rod, 63, and Penny, 39, have welcomed son, Aiden, into the world and are said to be 'happy and thrilled' - well they're not going to be anything else are they.

This little lad is Rod's eighth child and Penny's second and is the result of three failed rounds of IVF treatment.

Much is being shouted around in the media at the moment that IVF wasn't intended for rich men to indulge their fatherhood fantasies late in life and that it's wrong, another IVF example cited was Elton John.

Yes, young Aiden will only be 17 when his dad hits 80 years old and even if I do have any opinions on that fact, it's none of my business. What if he was conceived naturally? Would that make it better for the journalist spouting poisonous twaddle?  I suspect not, perhaps they'd like an age cap on when men and women can become parents!

On a more amusing note, I received a press release from a betting company yesterday who are giving various odds on the future career of young Mr Aiden Stewart, who was less than 24 hours old when it landed in my inbox.

Here's what you can bet your money on (seriously, do people actually DO this?)

• Have a number one hit single before 2030 16/1
• Footballer 10/1
• Singer 3/1
• Model 8/1
• Actor 8/1
• Other 1/2
• Represent the Scottish national football side 25/1
• Represent the English national football side 66/1

Odds on Rod still rocking on in 2030 to see his son hit number one in the charts? He'd be 92 by then. Pretty good I reckon, he's a bit of a legend and I've had enough of writing people off as being 'old' when they hit 60.

Congrats from everyone here at PlayPennies to Rod, Penny and all the family.
