Should parents display nude pictures of themselves in the house? How uptight is our society about nudity? Is there a certain age parents should cover up in front of their kids?
Some of our favorite celebrity parents have conquered some of these tough - and sometimes taboo - questions. Read below to see who is open about nudity and sexuality in their home.
Travis Barker brought a very special guest along to the 2010 BET Awards on Sunday night: His adorable 4-year-old daughter Alabama!
After the show the Blink 182 drummer took to Twitter to update, "I don't think I've seen so many good performances in 1 night at any award show like that in a long time. Stoked to have be a part of it !!!"
Travis also has 6-year-old son Landon and 11-year-old stepdaughter Atiana with his ex Shanna Moakler.
What a cute bunch! After taking his children to karate class, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker carried his 4-year-old daughter Alabama, while son Landon, 6, and stepdaughter Atiana, 11 next month, walked with a friend in Calabasas, Calif. on Saturday (February 20).
During an exclusive interview with the kids' mother, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, the 34-year-old blonde beauty didn't rule out a possible reconciliation with Travis in the future.
I believe anything is possible, but we both have a lot of growing up to do (still) and we also have a lot of healing. We have gone back and forth as we both have the same dream. We both have strong personalities and we have different parenting styles. This has made it hard."
Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker rocked the red carpet with his adorable 6-year-old son Landon at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 31). Travis teamed up with hip hop stars Eminem, Lil' Wayne and Drake to perform at the awards ceremony last night.
During an interview with Landon's mom, Shanna Moakler, she told Celebrity Baby Scoop that Landon is showing a keen interest in the world of rock.
Landon is really into music. My ex Travis has a band mate who plays the guitar (Mark Hoppus of Blink-182). It's funny 'cause Landon wants to play the guitar and his son (Mark Hoppos' of Blink-182) wants to play the drums! Everyday I have a new rockstar in the house. I've already told him no tattoos!"
While she is rarely seen on our website, make no mistake that Shanna Moakler is one involved and hands-on celeb mama! Keenly aware of the paparazzi-infested spots to avoid, this protective mom of three says that she is a "great mother," although she has been criticized for not being as involved as her ex. Stating that the cameras "ruined" her marriage, Shanna vows to protect her family as much as possible.
In a candid look at her life, her children, her dreams to be "seen as a serious actress," her belief that "anything is possible" with ex Travis Barker although they "both have a lot of growing up to do," Shanna spoke to Celebrity Baby Scoop with an open heart and an honest voice.
CBS: You are mom to three children: Atiana, 10, Landon, 6, and Alabama, 4. How has motherhood changed you? What is the most challenging part of motherhood? The most rewarding?
SM: "Motherhood changed me in so many ways. I look at the world different. I was a young mother, and a single mother quickly. I am constantly striving to be a better person for my children, for my family. I want to give them the opportunities I didn't have.
Having three kids, I find the most challenging part is just making sure I take the time to individually nurture their different needs. They actually work very well together and I've made sure that they have a mutual respect for one another and their ages. I really try to make time to sit with each on daily, talk to them, see how they are feeling. Coming from a divorced home, I want my children to know they are loved. I want to breed confidence and I want them to know how to work through life's challenges; alone and together.
The most rewarding part is seeing them grow and develop into these beautiful personalities and people. There is nothing like when your babies tell you they love you!"
Carrie Prejean has delivered what she had promised. The former Miss California USA filed a lawsuit against pageant officials Monday for libel, slander and religious discrimination, accusing them of telling her to stop mentioning God even before her controversial remarks against gay marriage.
According to THP,
Prejean sued California pageant executive director Keith Lewis and actress and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, who served as a co-director before resigning in protest of Prejean.
Prejean was fired in June by pageant officials who said she missed several scheduled appearances.
Her attorney, Chuck LiMandri, said that wasn’t true, and Prejean was ousted because of controversial remarks in April during the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
