Bad Dads For The Win: Air Traffic Controller Allows Son To Direct Flights

Top brass in the U.S. are investigating an incident last month in which a young boy stepped in to his father’s shoes and directed air traffic at JKF International Airport.

Audiotape recorded the boy directing planes for take-off during a week when New York students were out of school, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is none too pleased.

Jude Law Meets His Five-Month-Old Love Child For The First Time

It only took him five months, but British actor Jude Law has finally laid eyes on his newest bundle of joy – daughter Sophia, the result of a week-long fling with New York cocktail waitress Samantha Burke. Jude, along with his lawyers, hopped on a plane last weekend and made the trip to Miami, Florida, to meet his baby girl.

Jude talked shop with celebrity lawyer Maurice Kutner for six hours before the meeting, and it’s been said that he and Samantha were able to come to an agreement about raising Sophia before all was said and done. Sounds less like a first-time father moment and more like a business meeting, if you ask me.

Bad Moms Love Bad Dogs And Also Doritos

My husband makes TV commercials. He made this one:

It's funny because it's true. Also, Doritos. (It's actually part of a contest. Most views wins. It'd be awesome if his won. Yes, this is shameless spousal promotion. You want to make something of it?)

The Tiger Woods Apology Tour Makes A Stop At His Daughter's Daycare

Since his now-infamous sex scandal exploded on the scene late last year, Tiger Woods has done his best to keep out of the public eye. The fallen golf great finally broke his silence last week, when he stood before a group of friends, colleagues and close associates to apologize, once again, for his transgressions.

During his apology he asked the media to back off of his family, specifically his wife and two young children. "My behavior doesn't make it right for the media to follow my two-and-a-half year-old-daughter to school and report the school's location," his statement read. "They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family... please leave my wife and kids alone.”

Bad Moms Love Good Ideas: How To Avoid The Unhappy Meal

When I read Bryan Young's article about the conflicted feelings he has around the upcoming Star Wars collector toys coming out at the end of this month, I understood exactly what he was talking about.

The conflict is not about the toys per se -they are cool little toys that Star Wars fans will be happy to add to their collections (we all have our nerd habits so cut me some slack) - but about how these toys are being released to the public: as a toy in a McDonald's Happy Meals.

Bad Moms Hate Break-Ups: Brad And Angelina, Sucks To Be You

I freely admit it: I am one of those people who usually feels a teeny bit smug - I told you so! - when news of failing celebrity marriages hits the gossip wires. I mean, how many successful marriages are there in Hollywood, anyway? And aren't they all having affairs? Cue wagging finger.

So you would think that I'd be all schadenfreudey about the news - and you know that it's probably true - that Brad and Angelina are splitting up, but I'm not. They have all those kids. They're a family. Families breaking up sucks.

John Edwards Admits Paternity Of Daughter, Fails To Impress

John Edwards has finally admitted what everybody already knew: that he really is the father of Rielle Hunter's baby, Frances Quinn. Which is great and all, but really, it would be better if he'd man up and admit that denying his baby in the first place was really kind of vile.

Tom Cruise One-Ups Parents Everywhere. Also: He's Crazy.

Wow, I'm all about judgment this week at The Bad Moms Club. First it was Crafts! With Placenta! Now it's Tom Cruise! Indulgence to the Extreme! I know I shouldn't judge, I don't want to judge, but OMFG, I can't help but judge.

I'm only human, dammit.

From The Cry Me A River Files: Balloon Dad Goes To Jail

Richard Heene went to jail today. All together now: POOR BABY.

Now we just have to wait and see if he can balloon himself out of the prison yard.

Balloon Boy's Dad: Liar Liar Crybaby Pants On Fire

I know that the BMC credo is resist judging all ye who enter here, but as I think I've amply demonstrated, I tend to not resist it so much when faced with evil and/or stupidity. Richard Heene, I think, embodies both.
