Faith Hill Decks The Halls Before Halloween

October 14th, 2008

Faith Hill looks as festive as a tree ornament on the cover of her Christmas album, Joy To The World, which is in stores now.

The mom of three, who is wearing a flowing red dress with gold accents and matching jewels, certainly has practice decking the halls.

“I’m a huge Christmas fan and consumer,” Tim McGraw’s wife, 41, says. “You walk in my house, and it’s like someone has vomited Christmas. I have the napkins in the bathroom with Santa Claus on them, and all that stuff.”

She continues, “I waited a long time to do a Christmas record because I wanted to take the time to do it right. I really wanted to create an album like I’d listen to.”

She’s proudest of her new song, Baby Changes Everything. “I’m very excited.”

Despite her passion for the holidays, don’t expect Faith to pull the Christmas card again.

“I only want to do one. I’m happy, I closed it up, that’s it. I won’t do anymore Christmas. I’m very thrilled.”

Wonder if her girls Gracie, 11, Maggie, 10, and Audrey, 7, have their stockings up yet?

Elisabeth Rohm’s Daughter Named Herself

August 21st, 2008

Elisabeth Rohm is thrilled to be a mom to daughter Easton, four months, whose father is fiancé Ron Wooster.

“She laughs all the time and she’s very expressive,” the actress, 35, tells me while promoting Red Cross program The Dog Days of Summer. “She’s very connected to the people she loves. She’s sitting up. She laughs out loud – squeals, screams with delight. I’m like ‘is that normal?’”

Little Easton named herself, Elisabeth tells me.

“I had a dream one night when I was pregnant,” she tells me. “They say you have very vivid dreams. I had a dream that I was picking her up from my girlfriend’s house and she had watched her for the weekend. I asked her how she was, was she well-behaved, and she said yes, but one catch – she didn’t want me to call her by the name I had given her, which at the time, was Grace. I said ‘really, what does she want to be called?’ Because kids are funny. She told me her name was Easton, and I had to call her Easton all weekend.  I said ‘oh, OK.’ So I talked to my mom in the morning, and I was like ‘this is the funniest dream, this kid is irreverent already.’ And she said ‘I guess your daughter told you what her name is,’ and I said ‘well, I don’t know, I really like Gracie.’ And my mom said ‘I don’t know Liz, I think she told you her name.’”

Elisabeth is gearing up to shoot Mr. Nice this fall in Spain, and little Easton will be along for the ride.
 
“She’s done quite a bit of traveling already,” she says. “We went to the Edinburgh Film Festival when she was two months old. She’s fantastic. Honestly, people were thanking me when the planes landed because she didn’t cry.”

What’s her secret to traveling with a tot?

“I was told to breastfeed upon departure and arrival because that’s when their ears are popping, so it’s nice that they’re distracted. That’s what I did, and it worked. Once we were up in the air, she didn’t really notice anything. It was takeoff and arrival that causes them discomfort.”

At home, her golden retriever Homer, 4, is adjusting well to the new addition.

“I rescued my dog from a shelter, but really he rescued me when I found him,” she says. “He was the sweetest, the most loyal friend. He gave me such a great friendship when I found him.”

She showers him with toys and sits with him on the floor and talks to him.

“I keep calling him a saint because having a new baby, he has been demoted from kingdom,” she says. “He is now second place to the baby. He’s confirming why I love him so much because it was very much a dog’s house before it became a baby-and-dog house.”

Faith Hill: I’m a Mom First

June 18th, 2008

Faith Hill is in awe of her perfect life. The mom of three, who is married to Tim McGraw, enjoys it all. But is it ever difficult being married to someone who is considered to be a hunk?

“No, girl, it’s good,” she tells me backstage at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville. “No, it’s really good.”

Her girls, Gracie, 11, Maggie, 9, and Audrey, 6, aren’t impressed with her success. They couldn’t be bothered watching her perform at LP Field as part of the gig.

“I actually brought the girls with me today,” the superstar, 40, says. “I made a big deal, like ‘come hang out with mom, we can go and you can watch me rehearse. You can run around the stadium…’ And I took them to this thing, this little listening thing they had, and I told them that they could serve everybody ice cream and cookies and stuff. And Gracie said ‘well, how much are we going to make?’ I was like ‘well, how much are you going to make? Well, OK, how about ten dollars?’ She goes ‘can’t do it for that.’ I was like ‘OK, how about twenty dollars?’ And she said ‘I’ll do it for twenty dollars.’ So they did really well. And they were going to come back tonight, but they decided it was way too boring and they were not interested. So they’re at home. They stayed at home. They’re not interested.”

Typically, her daughters are with her everywhere she goes.

“We travel the world together, all of us, and it just works. I’m a mom first. I really am. And that’s really where I’m at. I take care of my kids, and this is kind of… I was telling the girls on the way down here, I kind of feel like I’m off tonight. Ha ha ha. For real! I’m going to really party hard on that stage because I don’t have my kids with me. I’m ready to rock because usually it’s all about them. I feel like I have an off night!”
