They Still Got It! Celebrity Grandparents
Ron Howard
Hard to believe, but Opie is a grandpa! Ron Howard, the Oscar-winning filmmaker, who also starred as Richie Cunningham in "Happy Days," became a grandfather when his eldest daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard, gave birth to her first child, son Theo Gabel (seen here). Sources say there is a strong family resemblance between Theo and Papa Ron; the little man has some "Opie" in him and is reportedly a spitting image of his grandpa! Ron and his wife Cheryl are also parents to 23-year-old twin girls, Jocelyn Carlyle and Paige Carlyle, and 21-year-old son Reed Cross.

Donny Osmond
Fans remember Donny as the young star they grew up watching in the '60s and '70s -- but Osmond is now a grandfather of two! Osmond became a first-time grandpa in 2005, when his second son Jeremy and his wife Melisa welcomed Dylan James Osmond. The family welcomed a granddaughter, Emery, in 2008. This is the first girl born into Donny's immediate family, as he is father to five boys.

Alcoholism/Addiction killing milions, epedemic in the making especially with times like we face people turn to alcohol and drugs for comfort, peace of mind, escape. I did and survived to tell the story in detail, my book,"MY MIND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN," my web site www.gordonrouston.com, gives all the information you need. I know your a great Director, my book needs a great director, get in touch.

Real People said...Am I shocked about most of comment here? No, It seems that most of us should treat things we dislike like items on a menu. Just pass it up and go on to something we like. That way we can enjoy life becasue life is short and why fill it with things that will cause us gray hair, ulcers high blood pressure and too darn many to trip to the M.D.office. Then who has won? it just easier to focus on things that will make us smile like grandkids present and future

Pat said...What is wrong with everybody? This is about celebrity grandchildren. So what is Mrs. Robinson is in there. We should be going ohhhhh look how cute this child is instead of cussing about our President. We should look at this site as a peaceful site, it's nice to look at something now and then that is not about murder, war, death by suicide, our weather system killing many people etc.
Sit back and enjoy it or move on! Complain someplace else.

Phil said...I did not realize that Celebrity was restricted to movie stars. Some movie stars are celebrities, but not all celebrities are movie stars. Oh Oh, maybe I should have looked up in my dictionary what celebrity meant first.
