YOU ARE A HTR

aww hello again friend :)

no racist here ‘to didi/anonymous’. I only hate f*cktards with no life who follow people..oh and madonna fans.

Oh God, what have they done to his hair? Not cute, not cute at all.

——————————————————–

oh i see, that’s why, cool…

Well you f*ckwad racists.

That kid is Maori not black.

How stupid do you pro-black losers feel now? Or do you even know any other races than black and white?

LMAO @ accusations of racism cause someone asked why’d you’d straighten a little boys hair. Defensive much? lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think didi must be half

why does deb look rough as f*ck in every photo. whats wrong with being presentable. I am all for casual but for f*cks sake.

as for his hair. the boy probably wanted it straightened but
whats odd is he has an opinion thats acknowledged at age 7. what happened to parents saying no.

He’s a cute kid… and yes I think his hair would look better if it were cut or shaved. Hugh is still hot…=)

Hmmmm she looks happy, those family smiles are genuine, and the teenaged angst is genuine as well. Debra Furness doesn’t dress like a model. She does dress to please her needs/self. Sometimes that is painful to look at. He obviously does spend happy time with his family, the body language proves it. Nothing looks staged or as uncomfortable as the Matthew Broderick/Sara Jessica Parker snaps recently did. They are engaged in normal ways. cool.

What the hell - methinks that I would NOT be interested in 99% of all the posters on this list, and many wouldn’t be interested in me…isn’t that what choice is all about?

Im so over Hugh. He’s not hot anymore and Im sick of him on the movies too.

Why is a child’s haircut fodder for public ridicule. It’s NOBODY’S business but Oscar’s parents. He is not a celebrity.

As for Oscar’s heritage, he is NOT - I repeat NOT - Maori. He is a racially mixed child, born in the United States of America. Hugh and Deb have both talked very openly about Oscar’s adoption many times.

So Hugh is married to a really old lady, loves to sing showtunes and has adopted kids? Not GAY at all ;)

Shut up Shelly ;p
you’re just jelaous coz you didn’t go anywhere all your life

Hahahaha what a ugly hair…

Ashton Kutcher, Tim Robbins, John Lennon, Patrick Duffy, Clark Gable, Ralph Fiennes, Burt Reynolds, Pierce Brosnan, Andre Agassi, Richard Marx, Desi Arnaz, Antonio Bandares, Cal Ripken Jr.; all have lived with and/or married older women. Are/were they all gay too?

Patrick Wilson, Harry Connick Jr., Martin Short, Gordon MacRae, Robert Preston, Matthew Broderick, Antonio Bandares, **** Van ****, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin; all sang show tunes. Are/were they all gay too?

Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, Guy Ritchie, David Kelly (Michele Pfiffer’s husband), Richard Burton and my father; all adopted children. Are/were they all gay too?

WOW! What a narrow minded, sterotypical view of the world you’ve got there. Whatever you’re doing in your life right now, expand it a little; read some books, take some classes, widen your circle of friends. GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM and go out into the world actually meet some people. Then form some opinions. I’d bet you’d be surprised at how they might change.

And for those of you who feel the need to come to a public website and critize an innocent child…SHAME ON YOU! And for the one hundred millionth time…his son is of mixed race; african, caucasian, hispanic, hawaiian and American Indian. If you knew ANYTHING at all about Hugh Jackman, you would know this. Which just proves how much of internet chatter is mindless bullsh*t; morons spouting off about that which they know NOTHING about. Hasn’t there got to be a better way than going through life THIS STUPID and UNINFORMED, yet having absolutely no hesitations about opening your mouths and confirming that fact, with thousands of people listening in?

As for Deb’s look…it was a casual Saturday morning outing with her husband and kids. And it’s in these situations that most of these paparazzi photos are taken. Must she dress up for these occasions so that the internet audience across the world can give her a “thumbs up?” My God, look at the way we all dress these days? We all look like pigs.

With the trashy lives that most of these celebrites lead; changing sex partners like they do underwear (hell, some of them don’t even wear those…hello Britney), in and out the rehab revolving door, broken marriages, tantrums, believing and acting out like they’re better than the rest of the human population just because of they’ve got some money and -if they’re lucky- more than 15 minutes of fame…then along comes a sweet, happy, unpretentious little family (who have just as much fame and money as the rest of them) who just go about their lives causing no scandals of any kind and you have to tear them apart because of unsubstantiated rumours and opinions formed from looking at unauthorized photographs taken of them in unguared, candid moments.

But you want the trash though, don’t you? And since there’s none to be found in the Jackman family, you just make some up. How utterly pathetic.

Why?

Why not cut it short? He is such a cutie pie …the father too.

You know interracial-international adoptions have been increasingly popular the last TWENTY+ years. The average intelligent adult can immediately make that connection when viewing a family with obvious diverse ethnic backgrounds.

The vast majority of people run their Saturday morning errands in casual wear sans make-up. Isn’t it nice that the Jackmans have not gotten caught up in the celebrity facade? More power to them.

As for Oscar’s hair, the little guy most likely wanted it done. Deb adored his curls and always seemed to hate having them trimmed. Could be Oscar is growing out of being a Mommy’s boy. Typical 7 year old behavior.

And Oscar is most definitely NOT picking his nose! C’mon, Jared, don’t you remember that Seinfeld episode?

Jared, be kind to little children. You were once one yourself.

No one thinks its a little weird for a young boy to be getting a press and curl? Hugh and the wife knew the kid was black when they adopted him. Black hair is different than caucasian hair. Hell, even brad pitt acknowledged that they needed someone to show them how to groom Z’s hair Why can’t his parents make an effort to learn how to comb the kid’s hair?

OMG! I haven’t been around in awhile but I see that when Pigzilla Hilton’s site got changed all his 13 yr olds came over here. Alot of the comments on this thread look like they came from children.

The kid is cute no matter how his hair is done. Who knows, the child could have asked to do his hair like this, which in that case it is good to let a child make his/her own choices at this age b/c it helps to build confidence and self esteem.

I don’t understand WHY they would want to straighten the childs’ hair.

Judging from these photos, the childs hair doesn’t look better, it just looks damaged.

It’s hard to believe that’s the look they were going for, Oscar does seem to be disappointed with the results.

You don’t see him smiling in any of the photos, do you?

Stop spending so much time defending Deb. Some people’s obsession with Hugh’s wife is creepy.

She always seems to look raggy. It’s beyond just being casual, it’s downright sloppy. As for the excuse everyone looks awful these days, I beg to differ. So of us actually manage to look presentable ALL the time and we’re not stalked by the paparrazi. As Stacey London and Clinton Kelly would tell Deb, it’s just as easy to put together a decent looking ensemble as it to throw on something that looks like you dug it out of the hamper. There’s no excuse for her to ALWAYS look that bad. But she obviously doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks of her.

“She always seems to look raggy. It’s beyond just being casual, it’s downright sloppy……throw on something that looks like you dug it out of the hamper. There’s no excuse for her to ALWAYS look that bad. But she obviously doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks of her.”

IMO, Deb’s outfit is not sloppy, nor does it look like it was dug out of the hamper. Her sweats are clean, not wrinkled, no spots. Sloppy is when you can see evidence of what someone ate or drank. She’s clean, but comfortable. Her husband certainly isn’t dressed for the cover of GQ. He’s also dressed for comfort, just happens to be wearing baggy jeans instead of sweats. I love that the Jackmans live a normal family life. And the reason Oscar isn’t smiling is that he does not like being photographed by strangers. He’s been like that since he was a small child.

50 Fat-girl : 07/08/2007 at 2:01 pm
I just thought about this. My neice, who is bi-racial (I’m Black) asked me to flat-iron (straighten) her hair when she was 7 and I did. I thought it wasn’t a big doeal, it wasn’t chemical and therefore temporary. She has gorgeous curly hair but it was cute straight as well. I didn’t see it as a reflection of her wanting to be anything other that versatile with her hair because within African-American culture, women straightening their hair is perfectly acceptable. Men doing it is something different entirely. I think that is where my personal bias comes from. It’s just not seen as masculine or self-loving for males to do it. (although Conks were popular in the Harlem era) My biracial nephew has large blonde curls and has never given two thoughts about his hair. He has certainly never expressed a desire to straighten it. My brother would freak if he did and think it was ‘gay’ / And it would be seen as a rejection of his race within our cultural context. Funny how what’s cool for girls is NOT for boys.

And whatever Brad and Angie are doing with Z’s hair is great. She’s a doll evertime I see her.
_______________________

I agree with post #46 and #50, even though they seem opposing. First of all, that hairstylist should be smacked 20 times with a cold wet rag in the face. Not because he’s stealing Oscar’s cultural identity by straightening his curls or anything (I pray to Jeebus it’s just temporary until next time the kid washes his hair or it gets wet), but mainly, because that kid’s hair looks DRY, DAMAGED and just HORRIBLE. This is an example of Hugh maybe should have taken his son to a barber/stylist who kows how to work with extremely curly/kinky hair — if the kid wants it straight like Dad’s or just straighter period, there are ways that that could have easily been achieved without putting his curls through what looks like a George Foreman grill — and it SURE AS HELL would have come out looking better than that. My nephew who is 13 has curls, he went through a period when he wanted it flat because all the kids had that cesar cut, a good stylist knows how to cut and trim curls so that they lie flat, a good stylist could have even straightened his hair without pressing and curling.

For young boys, it’s important that from the age of 7 they aren’t thinking they have to make an appt at the hairdresser every week to achieve a certain look.

But I will tell you this — if that HAD been Zahara getting her hair flat ironed…or IF the JoliePitts ever do that (they won’t, lol), there would be a major uproar. Angelina of course, gets the double standard treatment in whatever she does, because she’s committed the sin of being a unearthly beautiful, being with Brad Pitt, and being the most famous person in the world (i.e., see jealousy drives the hate). I personally think AJ would NEVER do that to Zahara, she’s too interested in her kids being confident and proud of their identity and where they come from. It would be like if Maddox wanted an eye job - she would totally feel like she failed as a mother or something.

By the way, conversely however - if Brad took Z to get her a press and curl in a couple years - I would predict he would become even more beloved.

LMAO

all they need to do was wash and let his curls air dry naturally. He did not need a flat iron. It looks ridiculous. It’s now sticking out all over the place.

He was adopted in America his mother is white and his father is African-American. Of course the residdent inbred racist would come to a site concerning a person of color w/ wrong information and vulgar language.

Angelina does not have nannies for each child and raises her own children. Zahara’s hair looks fine. For a person that hates her so much it is really pathetic to bring her up in a thread that HAS NOTHING TO DO W/ HER.

Alot of you really seem to think of it as an afront to Oscar’s black heritage that his “white” parents have changed his hair. First of all, it could have been at the child’s request and second and MOST IMPORTANT…he is not exclusively “black.” What of the rest of his ethnic heritage; his white blood, his hispanic blood, his hawaiian blood and his native American blood? Why it seems to me that he’s got quite a menu there to choose from concerning a hairstyle. If as a teenager he decides to let it grow down his back and wear it ramrod straight (the native American look), are you going to criticize his parents some more for trying to drum his “blackness” out of him?

Are any of you even aware of the philanthropic efforts this child’s parents are attempting in Africa? Working with orphanages, building drinking wells in villages. The thing is, unlike some celebrities, the Jackmans don’t call an international press conference to announce their good deeds. They just do them. And how do I know about it? While in Vancouver filming X-3, it was reported in the local paper about the fundraisers they hosted for their African charities AND Deb talked about them in an interview in an obscure (well…as far as the rest of the world is concerned) magazine in Australia. These are VERY low key people.

Do any of you really know ANYTHING at all about this family? Or do you just wander onto the net, take a look at some random photos and from those, form your FIRM opinions? Is this how you conduct your personal relationships too? Just look at something on the surface and decide that, that must be the truth? Hopefully, others do not treat you as such.

And for the record, I am not obsessed with Deborrah-lee Furness. I like her, but she’s just not my type. Hubby on the other hand…if she ever decides to offer up a “day pass” on e-bay for him, I’ll empty out the savings account. I’ll empty out your savings account…at gunpoint! LOL!
No. I’m just sick of the criticism (which stems from raging jealousy I suspect) of her and if 75% of those around here can slam her, can’t the other 25% of us defend her? And I don’t think we need to ask your permission Tink to do so.

And I do apologize for the “pig” remark. Please let me clarify. What I meant was (and didn’t say), is that compared to eras past, we do indeed look like pigs. My grandmother and my mother (in her younger years) wouldn’t have even considered leaving the house without hat and gloves on. Today we run our errands in baggy shorts and sweats and t-shirts and messy hair and no make-up. Not everyone. I understand that. But most. And even though I wish we would bring back a dress code of sorts, I must admit, I do count myself amoung the “casual.” If my grandmother could see the way I look sometimes when I walk out of the house, she’d be mortified. And I suppose that’s why I jump in and defend Deb. You’re holding her to a standard that most in the world do not adhere to anymore. Have you ever seen paparazzi shots of Julia Roberts and Gwyneth Paltrow out and about with their kids; no make up, messy hair and sloppy clothes. It’s what we’ve evolved to.

We need a good spanking.

They all look kinda dirty to me…the boy should get a nice haircut…so does Hugh…and what a no no to wear those yellow sweat pants with those shoes Deb!

If you don’t like the opinions being expressed here, why don’t you go read a book?

That would be more constructive than whining.

It’s only a celebrity message board Davilyn. Get over it.

Ah Prix, but that’s just it. True, this may just be a celebrity board, but the words posted here are traveling all over the world in just a matter of seconds for millions to read. Our words and how we express ourselves do matter. And with all the unhappiness and misery in the world, what we do here on this little forum (this teeny, tiny little, insignifcant part of the word), either stirs the sh*t pot of negativity OR sends out good thoughts and feelings to the world. In other words…were either part of the problem OR were part of the solution. Which would you prefer?

And I do apologize for my negative comments about some of the other negative comments. With those, I just gave the sh*t pot another stir. And I am sorry.

Thank you for that suggestion, but I am already well aware of the Ozalots and a lovely bunch they are. And for the record, I am not obsessed with the Jackman family. I really admire and adore them and yes, I will admit that my interest in Hugh is probably a bit over the top. But then, in this age of celebrity worship, how uncommon is it to find yourself fascinated with a famous person? Not a crime. But I actually do have a full life that does not include them. I know that I come off as zealous in my opinions because I just do not know how to express myself in just one or two “hit and run” sentences. I’ve been reading this site for quite awhile now, just sitting back and listening to the unsubstantiated garbage floating around about this family. And I realized that this is a very widely read site and thought, maybe it’s time for some other opinions. So I decided to speak up and I’m going to continue to do so. And I’m actually trying to have some kind of discouse around here, but I’m afraid it may be futile.

I suppose I figure as long as we’ve got this technology and we can actually say “something” to one another, why don’t we? Or should we just reserve all of these wondrous capabilities for a two sentence, nasty, hit and run? Is that all you want from it?

Oh and as for me saving my comments for a forum that loves Hugh Jackman. When Jared puts Hugh’s pictures up here, then that particular thread becomes part of the Hugh section of this forum. And so naturally those who take the time to come to the internet looking for information on Hugh and find themselves here, well, it wouldn’t be such a leap for some to then begin to engage in a discussion of him. Would it? If the people posting here are not interested in Hugh in some way and don’t really care what others may have to say about him, then why are they (you) here and why are they (you) reading people’s comments and responding? I think you must be quite interested in talking about Hugh Jackman (that’s why you’re reading and posting on this thread). What you aren’t interested in, is someone calling you on your sh*t. And I have nothing against constructive criticisim, but when the dialouge continues to be as nasty as it’s been over these pictures of an innocent little boy, then I will continue to express my thoughts. And you can just scroll on by if you wish.

And actually, I wouldn’t mind if you all came at me. You express yourselves like adolescents and your comments have no foundation in reason. You’re just gossip mongering and for the most part, haven’t got a clue as to what you’re even talking about.

Bring it.

Davilyn get a life you welfare dependent moron

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

FFS!

HE

IS

NOT

BLACK!!

Google Maori you INBRED SMALL TOWN R3TARDS!!

You all lose.

Incredible. A little boy - a NON-CELEBRITY - simply gets a haircut and there are over 70 comments, mostly negative. The downside of the the internet.`

I believe the shild is aboriginese(not sure how to spell it) native australian. Its a shame that he wants to straighten the childs locks. I understand as parents they may not have the know how to deal with anything other than straight hair. but really what message are you sending to the boy.

He has to be able to accept himself as is. What is hugh going to do take him every month to get his hair straightened out till it falls out. He needs to let the fro grow and be proud of all his childs traits. otherwise do what most parents do for the summer and simply shave it off till school starts.. dont be cruel and subject this young kid to harsh chemicals.

“I wonder why they went all the way to the US to adopt instead of doing it in OZ?”

Because they were based in LA while Hugh got his Hollywood career underway.

Forget the kid…the stylist is HOT!!!!

Didi speaks like the hate-filled Magnus, especially with his use of the word F*CKTARD. That is one of Magnus’s favorite words. He is a low-life racist WHO IS OBSESSED WITH BLACK PEOPLE. He wore his other name out, so now he wants to try to sneak in here undetected.

Good going Magnus.

Both of their kids are adopted.

Why are we posting pictures of his kids on here? Stick to the celebrities.

Wrong sheesh

kids Maori through and through.

You people need your heads checked.

Not obsessed with black people either. I just call racism out and you morons can’t see it. Favouring your own is racist. You’ll learn the hard way eventually.

Sucks to be you.

LOL

‘celebrity baby blog’

Hey the national enquirer has an article on Batboy you really should read.

Hugh is a very talented musical theater performer, but his talent does not transfer to film. He is one dimensional. He always looks as if he’s trying to act. Sometimes he over acts and sometimes he under acts. It isn’t his fault. He just isn’t a natural. Being nice, good looking, and/or sexy does not count as acting ability. I am not being mean, just stating an opinion.

Also Tink, I could be wrong on this, but I do not believe that Hugh was living in LA when he got the call to audition for Wolverine. They left Australia for London in the spring of ‘98 and he opened in Oklahoma! about three months later in June, where he played the role for a year, leaving the following Jun./Jul. to go directly to the Vancouver set of X-Men where filming had already commenced (the reason he was late arriving was because he had to finish his comment to Oklahoma!). He’s talked about how he wouldn’t take time off from Oklahoma! to even go to the states to audition. They had to come to him in London. You can even hear Bryan (or somebody) in his screen test with Anna saying, “lose the cowboy” as I guess he had a bit of trouble letting go of the “Curly” accent. I am not sure if this is exactly correct, but I think it’s pretty close. I’m one of those odd ducks who retains lots of information (and not just about Hugh), but about anything that interests me; politics, history, sports. I’m a trivia buff. Which doesn’t always make my facts straight, as there are alot of them rolling around in my brain.

aj, I apologize for insulting you in a previous post of mine. Yesterday wasn’t a good day for me. I was sick in bed and frustruated by remarks such as yours…

“So Hugh is married to an old lady, likes to sing show tunes and has adopted kids. Not GAY at all.”

People who think in sterotypes, frustruate me because they stir the pot of intolerance and ignorance. I’m not saying that you are those things. I’m saying that with those type of comments, sentiments of intolerance and ignorance are being sent across the globe to assult people’s sensibilities. Do you understand what I’m trying to say? And would you be surprised to know that some of the roughest, toughest, meanest, nastiest, NFL football players are also some of the gayest men on earth? But they don’t fit the stereotype, do they? Can’t always judge a book by it’s cover dear.

Oh. And I got the FU part, but what does ST mean? Hey. If someone is calling me a name, I want to know what it is. And if it’s a good one, then I’ll lob it to the next moron I come to.

Here we go again,yes Hugh are married,to a 8 years older woman,and yes the kid`s are adopted:Oscar(African-American,Caucasian,Hawaiian,Cherokee.)and Ava:(Mexican,German.)(HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA,10/7)I can not understand why people,make a big deal out of it.(you know love is the key word,and they have it.)I adore him,Hugh is a good father and husband,and a good friend,(hope I could see/talk with them too,but It will never happen)And poor Oscar,have break his little arm.(and about Oscar`s hair don`t make a big deal out of it)some of us like Hugh and his beahtiful family,and some do not,then don`t come here and waste of your time,and don`t grizzle,give him a fair go,

he said the same on David Letterman you d*ck. his biological mother was an African American woman and biological father is a white man plus he was born in the the United States, so how can he be Maori? It’s a totally different hemisphere you w*nkstain.

Oh God,have been on the side with Wentworth Miller,some of them say he is gay too.And I say,Hugh jackman is NOT gay,and Wentworth Miller is NOT gay.

IS IT A CRIME TO LOOK GOOD.????

And just a information:Wentworth Miller is a great mix too.(African,Jamaican,English,German- Jewish,Cherokee,Russian,French,Duch,Syrian,Lebanese.)

Oh,, it will be,so good,when people,will STOP all the gay talk,and STOP all this negative,talk about,Deborra and the kid`s hair.and look,,,,!
I just ask, will You like to have a camara in your,face or neck 24 times a day.(OH NO, WE WILL NOT LIKE THAT ,WILL WE ???)

the jackmans can give oscar everything except his identity, sad to see the little fellow straighten his hair, at this age he thinks hes “white’ and feels like a freak , the odd one out in the anglo play ground, if he was with his own people, african american , cherokee indian he would know his colour and hair are just fine as they are.

And his wife looks just fine. Why is it okay for him to go out in a sweatshirt or T-shirt and sweatpants but not okay for her to? Double standards, anyone?
