The Kid-Dish: Costumes, Toys, and an Awkward Encounter with Russell Brand

All the Jewish celebrity parent gossip you (n)ever wanted to know.

– Former star of the Hairspray musical, Marissa Jaret Winokur, brought her 4-year-old son Zev to a Halloween party on Saturday night. She was dressed as the bride of Frankenstein, and it looks like he’s a knight/ninja? With blue hair? Someone help me out. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

-Gwyneth Paltrow, her husband Chris Martin, and both kids (Apple, and Moses) went on a Toys R Us run and got some goodies. This is big news because Paltrow and Martin avoid being seen together, even though they’ve been married for nine years. Can you imagine trying to avoid being seen with your spouse? Also, why would you do that? (US Weekly)

-Harper Beckham apparently hung out with Russell Brand. Neither one looks comfortable with that. (Suri’s Burn Book)

-Tori Spelling threw her 1-year-old daughter Hattie a birthday party with a Mad Hatter theme (get it? Hattie/Hatter?) complete with costumes and 150 guests. The idea of having a birthday party–for anyone, at any age–with 150 guests make me feel a little crazy, but I guess that’s part of the theme–going mad! (Celebrity Baby Scoop)
