All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know
– Funny man Jack Black dishes to Parade about being a father to Samuel, 4, and Thomas, 2, and is, as expected, funny. And I quote, “My best piece of parenting advice?

– Reality TV show jumper Bethenny Frankel was spotted with 6-month old daughter Bryn and her husband in LA. A new season of her Bravo television series is getting ready to air, and she promises it will be full of “issues with the in-laws, religion, first year of marriage,” and the classic conundrum that most new parents face… being a contestant on Skating with the Stars.

– BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Jessica Parker and son James were caught fraternizing with a Christmas elf last week. We expected more out of you as a Jewish parent, SJP, especially on this, the festive week of Hanukkah. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
– In the I-didn’t-know-he-was-Jewish-until-I-looked-it-up news, Michael Douglas took a family trip with Catherine Zeta-Jones and their two children, Carys, 7½, and Dylan, 10, to Epcot Center in Florida, and then to the Harry Potter theme park. Check out the awesome roller coaster shot, and tell me you’re not jealous. (People)
