So invariably goes at least one entry on my Twitter feed every Saturday or Sunday morning. Yes, lying about all day watching TV is great but nine times out of ten when someone writes something like this, I can guarantee that they don’t have kids. For those of us with small children, the television we regularly watch throughout the day comes from a vastly different landscape. To the childless, names such as Makka Pakka, Tree Fu Tom and Yo Jo Jo may mean very little. To some us though they’ve become household names, as our lives are filled...

Created and produced by Maddy Darrell, who has also produced the children’s television shows Bear Behaving Badly and Pet Squad, Baby Jake blends animation and photo images to tell imaginative adventures starring a ten-month-old baby as his older brother narrates for the audience.
The BBC has released a number of merchandising for babies and toddlers while the series is continuing with its success and the company have distributed the series’ first DVD. While I am not as much of a fan for this show as much as the likes of Numtums and Charlie and Lola, this is no doubt different from other productions currently available for children.
As previously mentioned, each episode starts out with introducing a family that includes ten children that live in a windmill in a big, beautiful cornfield.
But out of this big family, we focus on Jake the baby and his older brother, Isaac,...

Apparently the Upper East Side fell off is axis on Valentine's Day.
Avery single Serena pined for a Blair-obsessed Dan, who kissed Blair, while Chuck, in all his St. Jude's glory (scarf! bow tie!), made moves to bring down the mop-haired Brooklynite, who let's face it, is nowhere in his league.
Charlie and Lola had a run-in with an oblivious Nate not putting the pieces together and Georgina continues to ruin everything for yet another week while her adorable husband cheers her on from the evil sidelines.
Whew. At least the fashion was on point.
Yes! The return of Blair's pretty hair! Pulled back in a loose braid, (Rapunzel reference?) and paired with a lilac and tweed number, B was feeling the love. Although the tweed vest was debatable, the look overall is an improvement of latter episodes, so we'll take it.

Christmas products and offers started appearing even before Halloween and it is no surprise that Cbeebies have already started to sell Christmas edition DVDs and special box sets ready for parents to buy for their children to open on Christmas day.
But while every year television shows for all ages usually release a DVD with some of their holiday specials, I will be reviewing three box sets that the BBC’s children department have released, which are based on their three big shows: Charlie and Lola, In the Night Garden and Chuggington with a view to see what buyers will receive and if they are the best DVD compared to previous releases for those looking for ideas on what to get children for the holidays.

The singer's experience of abuse should shame us all
It comes to something when racism from a Briton is described as "disgusting" by a black American raised in Harlem. Singer Kelis, who memorably brought milk shake to the yard, used Twitter to describe an incident at a Spanish border control, where a British man, thinking she'd pushed in, called her a "slave", "probably a disgusting Nigerian" and "Kunta Kinte". Talking of our riots, Kelis said that she felt Britain was "decades behind in progression… everything is swept under the rug".
There was some initial confusion about where it happened. Boris Johnson mistakenly wrote to the UK Border Agency about the incident. He also tweeted an apology to Kelis, assuring her that her incident was "not typical" of Britain. I, too, read the report, thinking that Kelis's abuse at the hands of a British person seemed highly unusual and extreme.

The trio are Down Under prepping for the holidays, following Nicole's recent press tour on behalf of Rabbit Hole. She and costar Aaron Eckhart got irritated with each other while shooting the heart-wrenching film, but all Nicole's hard work has paid off. She ended up earning a Best Dramatic Actress nomination at the Golden Globes, as well as for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is baffled by her young daughter's impeccable behavior - because the actress was "kind of wild" when she was a child. The "Crazy Heart" star's daughter Ramona, with husband Peter Sarsgaard, always listens to her parents and abides by their rules - even reminding them when she isn't allowed to watch her favorite TV shows.
But Gyllenhaal is mystified by the three year old's obedience. She tells British morning show GMTV, "I am actually just getting into discipline. My parents didn't have a lot of rules, I was kind of wild."
"My daughter who is three-and-a-half really like rules and likes to test - will I really say no 'Charlie and Lola' (TV show) in the morning? And she reminds me sometimes - 'Remember Mama, no 'Charlie and Lola' today'."...

Endemol has acquired British production companies Tiger Aspect, Darlow Smithson and Darlow Smithson's Tigress from Img.
The pact, said to be in the neighborhood of $50 million, comes a month after global sports and modeling agency/entertainment company Img Worldwide announced that it was looking at potentially offloading Tiger Aspect and Darlow Smithson.
The move is part of Endemol's aggressive acquisition strategy of the past couple of years that has expanded the company's entertainment portfolio.
Tiger Aspect was arguably the top entertainment property under Igm's umbrella. The company, one of the U.K.'s best-known producers, is behind such hits as "Billy Elliot" and kids animation "Charlie and Lola," as well as comedy "Diary of a Call Girl," which ran on Showtime, dramas "Robin Hood" and "Vicar of Dibley" and reality series "Make Me a Supermodel" for Bravo and "Cook Yourself Thin" for Lifetime.
