Danny Devito’s Children Influence His Movie Roles
Throughout his acting career, funny man Danny Devito, 67, has played a multitude of diverse roles. Whether it be the delusional Martini in the 1975 drama One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, a comical swindler in the 1985 romantic adventure film The Jewel of the Nile or a corrupt, waddling bird lover in the 1992 American superhero film Batman Returns, Danny always seems to deliver.
The It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star recently opened up about his latest film endeavour – lending his voice to play the Lorax in the Dr. Suess’ computer-animated 3-D film The Lorax – and how his three children Lucy, 28, Grace, 26, and Jacob, 24, play a big part in his roles.
“I’m doing it for our kids,” the star tells For Kids Entertainment about his role in The Lorax. “And I’m doing it for us, too, because what I found about The Lorax was I do everything pretty much the same wheelhouse of characters, whether I’m in Twins [Movie] or I’m in Matilda or I’m in Sunny [It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia], but a little bit more extreme in some cases.”
When asked if he sees any of his children in Ted or in Audrey – two characters from The Lorax – Danny was quick to reply.
Yes. Well, I’ve seen my son look do-eyed at a young woman and win her over. He’s a romantic. And my daughters are also. I don’t know how it is with you guys, but in our family, the girls talk to me and we have a great relationship. They’re 28 and 26 now, and both have boyfriends. But, we’ve never talked about anything like dating or what would you. I gave them all kinds of really good advice, and Rhea too has given them all kinds of good advice.”
Continue reading Danny’s interview with Kids For Entertainment now and be sure to check out The Lorax, due to hit theaters on March 2, 2012.

The Hunger Games Mall Tour Sounds Eerily Familiar
So, it was just announced today that the stars and director of The Hunger Games are embarking on an eight-city mall tour across the country, beginning in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 3. And we’re not sure what to think of this news. On the one hand, yay! Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and/or their tribute frienemies will maybe be coming to your town to answer your questions in person. On the other hand, well, the thought of these young stars being ferried from town to town and presented in front of crowds sounds kind of SPOILER …
… like Katniss and Peeta’s victory tour. Except it will be done in malls instead of in town squares. And they’re probably traveling by plane, not fancy futuristic trains. And the masses there to greet them won’t be forced to attend against their will (unless you’re counting unwilling parents or significant others who don’t know what they’re missing). And they won’t be starving people about to start an uprising against the government. But yeah, other than those things, it’s eery. Actually, we’d love it if Lionsgate brought some movie magic to an event like this — perhaps for Catching Fire? — and made a full-on Panem experience for the die-hard fans. You’d have to fast for a day before attending, and dress in drab, post-apocalyptic clothing, and be pushed around by angry guards. Hmmm. Maybe there’s a reason they don’t hire us to organize these things.
Anyway here’s the list of dates. Don’t forget to wear your Mockingjay pins!

Sally Obermeder & Her Bondi Beach Babe
Australian journalist Sally Obermeder took her 4-month-old daughter Annabelle Grace to meet up with Larry Emdur at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday (February 22). Sally – an entertainment reporter for Today Tonight – is undergoing chemotherapy for stage 3 breast cancer. The 38-year-old new mom was diagnosed the day before she gave birth.
She recently told WHO, “I’m so blessed that I had Annabelle—she gives me so much joy and happiness, but she also gives me a reason to fight with everything I’ve got, every day. I can’t let it beat me, I have to fight really hard, because the most important thing is that I’m actually here for her in her life.”
Last month Obermeder – who credits her stockbroker husband Marcus for his “amazing” support – was hospitalized due to an infection and was told she will have to go through three extra months of chemotherapy.
However the illness is not stopping her from working on a tell-all memoir. She insists she will be “writing every word herself”. The book is due to be released in November.
Recently Obermeder and her daughter were captured in a portrait photograph by Anne Geddes. She says of the picture, “I can’t explain how touched I am by Anne’s gift. It’s just so incredibly special.”
