Wyatt Crow Sports Pacifier and Headphones

Sheryl Crow waits offstage as nanny Marva keeps 3-month-old son Wyatt quiet with a pacifier at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago on Saturday.

Sheryl also put noise-canceling headphones on baby Wyatt to keep the sound levels down while she performed on stage with Eric Clapton.

Does the baby looks somewhat… tortured?

12+ pictures inside of Sheryl and Clapton rocking out on stage…

On the picture, it looks tortured. Maybe the baby is not — in real life. He is just crying. Though the nanny doesn’t look like she cares. Bad….

# 2

Just where a 3mth old needs to be, on stage at a concert. Even with those headphones on it is still not really somewhere a baby of that age needs to be. Maybe this is why that nanny looks quite irritated. Of course this is the woman that took this child running when it was just weeks old.

# 3

poor child. He just wants to go home. And why is the nanny holding the pacifier in this mouth???? Let the child cry but seriously he shouldn’t be there

Yeah, I understand she wants her baby with her and all but a concert is not the best place for a child. That is probably why the Nanny looks annoyed she probably would rather be in the hotel putting Wyatt down for a nap. A baby can’t possibly be comfortable for too long in that contraption, plus it may be hot out there.

# 5

We had a picture where this irresponsible and dumb Sheryl Crow took her 3 weeks old baby for running. This girl is terrible singer, a bad artist and the silliest idiot around. She was together with Lance Armstrong who most likely had his last hard on when he was twelve taking his cycling, his doping and his cancer into account. Who gave this wonderful boy to her. TAKE IT AWAY FROM HER. ASAP !!

LOL i thought the nanny was a guy at first b4 i read the first comment and looked at the pictures bigger.. haha

shame on sheryl @ 07/28/2007 at 10:56 pm

This child will be death be4 he reaches a yr.old. I said she had mental health issues /depression ect..she said it on “Oprah”but she still goes and adopts ,when it did’nt work between her and Lance to fill in the void.Not only that, she is a former alcoholic & presc.drug user for her depression.
Wyatt I feel horrible for him,and his nanny looks like she is not happy comforting him. What in the world is going on. Sheryl is not ready to be a mom. She is not mentally equipped.Jmo. A loud @ss cocert,and that baby has to wear those horrid large-heavy ear phones, cuz he has no choice but to be there thanks to ‘mommie weirdest’.

# 8

why does she have to bring the baby to her concert??? she is ‘torturing’ him…

# 9

I’m all for celebs bringing their kids with them to work but maybe he is a little young for the concert. When he gets closer to a year, ABSOLUTELY but not so much with him being so small.

Perhaps she could have had them at the venue but not so close to the stage. Poor thing.

and for the brangelina haters WHO NEED TO GET A LIFE: this has nothing to do with JA - it has to do with RESPONSIBILITY. I am not even allowed to smoke within reach of 50 meters of any little child. YES. If I do differend they wanna sue me. And trust me: I smoke quality cigarettes and filter cigarettes. And what it this idiot Cheryl Crow doing. CHILD SERVICE - WHERE ARE YOU AT?????

I think she has good intentions..but that doesnt mean take a very small baby to a concert..I mean for crying out loud I didnt go to my first concert until I was 12…and my parnets still probably thought it was young..my how things have changed..just like the people who let 4 yo drive atv..imagine going froma dark warm moist place to a cheryl crow concert that is loud bright and hot…

jennifer aniston is hot @ 07/28/2007 at 11:44 pm

You smoke? gross ,gross.Thank gawd Jen and Sheryl are trying to stop. Sheryl is being kind by letting him enjoy her music,babies like music. What’s yal problem. He may just want Sheryl to hold him. The nanny is just getting into the music. We don’t have all the photos. Maybe that is a nano second and he stop crying. Dieter and some other fans are just making up stuff.Sheryl is kind and a wholesome mom. When Jen adopts she will be to. Get a life people.

jennifer aniston is hot @ 07/28/2007 at 11:45 pm

Smoking is gross Dieter.

The nanny looks pretty miserable too.

Bill Murray @ 07/28/2007 at 11:56 pm

…..no one noticed Bill Murray standing behind Cheryl?

killthefascist @ 07/28/2007 at 11:59 pm

Torturing? That’s a good environment for a baby! BB King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Eric Clepton, Willie Nelson… are GOOD masters! People need to stop with stupid assumptions.

Dieter: you are more like the frustrated fascist American type. ahr.

Bill Murray @ 07/29/2007 at 12:01 am

You forgot to mention Bill Murray

he is in there, in the blue shirt and vest

Yeah…I was just thinking the same thing. Looks like she wants to be anywhere, but there.

Bill Murray is the man.

Ms. Annabelle @ 07/29/2007 at 12:13 am

poor baby, the nanny isn’t even paying attention to his reaction

the crow/clapton duet was really brilliant. they are great on-stage together.

smoking isn´t the problem - it´s the drugs like Zanax which are killing the people. All girlfriends I have were addicted to Zanax. My new girlfriends smokes Marlboro Lights - to tell: what is better for the unborn child? tell me. Filter cigarettes or some drug nobody knows what I really does? God bless Bill Murray and his family !

jennifer anniston is hot @ 07/29/2007 at 12:40 am

smoking is gross and jen and sheryl know thats why they are stopping.
The louder the music the better it sounds.Stop makind excuses,just stop.learn from these 2 role models there almost there.

Lillianne @ 07/29/2007 at 1:01 am

this does not look like a nanny who loves kids. a pacifier is meant to soothe (pacify) it’s not a tool to clamp the mouth shut.

kavabuggy @ 07/29/2007 at 1:24 am

isn’t that julia roberts’ nanny?

Sheryl is an idiot, the nanny and Wyatt look so miserable there. I won’t blame the nanny because I’m sure the nanny is the one who takes care of Wyatt when he cries and when he wakes up at night. I bet sheryl only takes Wyatt out when there are cameras…

Concert is not a ideal place for a 3 month old. And have the nanny taking care of a 3 month old in such environment/ condition is selfish, so I feel very sorry for the poor nanny too.

I have a 8 month old boy and I think I need to call child protective service on Sheryl. She is horrible!

maca mothers against celebrity @ 07/29/2007 at 1:37 am

sheryl is such a moron. no pregnancy=no maternal instincts. i love how celebrities can buy kids so fast and then throw them off on nannies. when a child is adopted, the new mother should similate the healing body of a pregnant woman ie she is not running 3 weeks after a full term pregnancy and is definitely not hiking or running with a little one in a carrier.

ps i know other celebrity idiots such as gwyneth paltrow and gwen stefani took their kids to concerts (i’m sure the headphones work awesome) NOT

==========

Sorry to burst your bubble , Aniston was still smoking like a chimney. she was recently spotted sharing smoke with Sheryl in a b-day bash, and the most recent one was while driving.
and PLeez…….stop she will be a good mom say. if this woman really want to be mom as she ’s been telling evevybody for the last 10 years. she would have at least one while very married to her ex-husband either NATURALLY, IVF OR ADOPTION.!!! NOPE, she didn’t tried any one of it, she didn’t try ! she didn’t want one.!!! that’s a fact.
Only her idiot fans believed she want children, she had stop smoking, believed smart water was better than alternative for tab water , she’s a great actress, and lastly, beleived what the media hype tell us , she ’s beautiful and stunning. OMG!!!!1 YUCK!!!!!!

ps i know other celebrity idiots such as gwyneth paltrow

NOT A THREE MONTHS

Crow was thinking of herself when she allowed the baby to stay onstage. The baby would not have missed her for a couple of hours. Very Selfish IMO. Next time Crow think of the baby first.

she should leave the tot at home. and if she really, really wanted the kid to enjoy her music, she could put it on the player on MUTE.
3 months old babies needs lotsa sleep to grow, not mom’s music to make him stunted.

Sheryl can never be a mother as good as Angelina when she first had Maddox even though Angelina didn’t give birth to him, she knew how to take care of him properly.

I was adopted by idiots, but they weren’t wealthy. The kid is miserable but at least his mother will be able to finance is alcohol and drug needs.
Someone needs to check the imigration status of that nanny, Sheryl Crow is from Texas and she has loads of cash so she will be hiring an illegal.

what an idiot. someone needs to slap that goofy grin off her face. why bring a young baby like that to a concert? poor kid looks so miserable and uncomfortable. the nanny looks thoroughly entertained as well, she is doing such a good job of smothering the child’s face with the pacifier. sheryl for mommy of the year!

redprincess45 @ 07/29/2007 at 4:13 am

Sheryl is a better singer than a mother….and that ain’t saying much! I feel more for the nanny than I do anyone else, she obviously knows what’s better for this child! Just Cheryl’s cry for “Look at me, look at me, I’m just as great as Angelina and Madonna”.

how can we expect jennifer maniston’s friends to have any better sense? i mean, they are her friends after all.

Yes, and if she left him with the nanny for fifteen minutes,she’d be neglecting them.
She can’t win.
For the record, she does not smoke, has not for years.
And those of us who work with musical equipment know that these headphones work. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
Babies cry. And nannies don’t smile 24/24. What are you blaming the nanny for, that she’s got her eyes on the stage for a second?
Get a life, not everything is about Jen versus Saint.

Truth Hurts ! @ 07/29/2007 at 5:48 am

I am sorry but there IS NO EXCUSES to take a little baby to a concert !

I mean, I have seen babies crying loud being terribly agitated and overstressed by the music during wedding parties ! That is no good ! And all responsible parents there dediced to leave early because it stressed the baby who cannot handle all the crowded loud environment.

Of course babies like music but at this age it is more soft melodic ones that their intern ears can handle.

This is the basics of raising a child ! SOFTNESS, SOFTNESS and more SOFTNESS that’s the key words !

They don’t need all the excitment, loud music and crowded environment of a concert ! It’s not healthy, it’s stressful and that is definitely not good at all for the peaceful environment they really need at this stage of their life !

Really even little girls know that !: babies need QUIET , PEACEFULLY ENJOYABLE AND RELAXING ENVIRONMENT with the kind of music IN PAR !!! That’s why they usually have peaceful melodic ones on their toys, not loud rock & roll and the likes !

She is idiot! Period !

Huh…? This is horrible!

Take Chin out of it. If Crowe would have just showed up and played her concert and left the baby with MamaNanny, nothing would be said. People normally don’t watch her every move.

The headphones may work, but on a baby that age, it just looks like he is very uncomforable IMO.

It was a photo op, at best.

That nanny looks like she’s been force feeding the child.

I was just thinking that Cheryl Crow is probably glad that she’s not with Eric Clapton now. He hasn’t aged well.

Give the woman a break - bringing the baby to the concert wasn’t the smartest of ideas, but there are so many others who are doing worse things. Once Crow hears about the comments in these blogs, she’ll learn another lesson about mothering.

If jennifer aniston is hot every ugly woman is hot too.

No need to take him to the concert … was it?

WTF? Why is she taking a baby to a concert? He looks uncomforable and those headphones look so heavy on his little head. Wouldn’t it be better to let him stay home with the nanny? Look at her smiling like an idiot while the nanny looks completely bored and the baby does look tortured.

Last time she took him out when she was running in the heat. Someone help this woman.

Oh, and leave the whole Aniston and Jolie debate out of this. It has nothing to do with these pictures.

ITA !

What i find the most disgusting is that tortured look or at least real discomfort expressions of the kid and yet her mother is there unable to notice it, to read it and stop it…instead she is standing there all SMILING while looking at the obvious discomfort of her own child ! That’s what I find inexcusable, even more than that stupid move of bringing him to a concert ! That wasn’t a smart move but she could have ended it and yet she didn’t.

I don’t trust women who are unable to read their child expressions and just stand there enjoying their time while being unable to protect their own child for any discomfort they may experience let alone the ones they provoke and put they kids into. that’s UNMOTHERLY to the fault, if you ask me. That’s the primal move of a mother : to protect her own child.

That’s the primal move of a mother : to protect her own child.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE - THIS IS ALL ABOUT HER AND HER NEEDS. NEITHER “THE MOTHER” NOR THE NANNY WERE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE DISCOMFORT OF THIS POOR INFANT. IF THE ADOPTION IS NOT FINAL FAMILY SERVICES SHOULD STEP IN AND FIND OUT IF SHE WANTS TO DEVOTE HER TIME TO BEING A MOTHER, OR WHETHER SHE ADOPTED FOR SELFISH REASONS. SEEING HIS DISCOMFORT AS A MOTHER HER REACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO REMOVE HIM, NOT SMILE. AND GET A NANNY WHO CARES ABOUT THE POOR CHILD. I’VE NEVER SEEM A PICTURE OF THIS POOR BABY WHEN HE’S NOT CRYING. POOR KID!!!!

POOR POOR BABY , I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR HIM … how it is possible that Sheryl keep smiling while looks at her baby…. She´s a complete idiot.

Penny - Very good point about this mother not being in tune with the level of discomfort that her child is feeling. He couldn’t hear her voice, because of the “earphones” and his little forehead is showing that he is really NOT comfortable. Sheryl made a really stupid mistake IMO and next time, she should just leave the child in her hotel room. Take him to the park or for a walk, not a rock concert. Poor kid.

i know she is a busy mom, but she should have just left the baby at home with the nanny. babies that young can catch a virus or cold from someone very easily.

What a pitiful scene. The grumpy nanny is forcing the pacifier into his mouth. Is this why Sheryl can never get anyone to marry her? She is a good musician, but she does not give out any maternal vibes. Sheryl is a cold & creepy mommy- even Madonna is not this selfish!

When Jen adopts she will be to. Get a life people.

__________

I wouldnt hold my breath. Larry King asked Aniston if she would ever consider adoption and she said NO that is wasn’t for her. Odd response I thought for someone who is in her late 30’s and who claims to want kids. At least leave your options open.

And yes, I agree… this baby is a little too young to be at a concert.

I agree. Regardless of how old the baby is, if he is clearly distressed then he should be removed. How hard is that to understand?

Yuck!! pacifiers should not be used to stifle a child. A child can’t be FORCED to comfort himself.

poor baby.

THINK LADY!!! @ 07/29/2007 at 2:55 pm

Sorry… I have to comment on this one:

She is NOT thinking of the baby’s sake at all, even the people at
the concert will be disturbed.

All she cares about is to show-off the baby.

Baby does not get you a man!!!

That Nanny’s thinking..Julia just had another baby maybe I can go back…

Nanny looks miserable….

So Sheryl thinks its “cute” to sit and watch her baby crying….mother’s have two arms, two hands, and a chest to serve as a comforting cushion for her child!!!!

In my personal opinion, babies have no place at concerts or loud music fests. Even permitting a child to excessively cry for long periods of time affects the development of its nervous system!

My initial reaction was the same as most of you, that a 3-month-old baby doesn’t belong as a rock concert. Particularly an outdoor one, where things just have to be that much louder.

That being said, you have to be careful with judging from still photographs. For all we know these were taken in the 15 seconds when Wyatt got fussy for whatever reason, and he was fine before and after that. I still don’t think it was smart to bring him there, but you don’t know that he felt “tortured.” A bigger concern is those headphones - aren’t those things usually pretty tight? I’d be afraid they’d injure him.

poor child, sheryl crow doesn’t have a clue about what motherhood is about. what a silly idea to take this baby at a concert! it was as silly as running while carrying him, or sunbathing him under the killer heat while he was just one month old. I really believe she was not ready to be a mum, she doesn’t have the desire to have a child. she adopted this poor boy because she felt lonely, desperate, aging and she thought adopting a baby would change her life! shame on her

The only good reason to have the baby with her is so that she could breast feed him. Maybe that’s it…NOT. It’s more likely that she is a selfish fool.

MY MOTHER NEVER USED A PACIFIER ON ANY OF HER THIRTEEN CHILDREN! IT IS A LAZY WAY TO TRY TO KEEP A CHILD QUIET. THAT SO CALLED “NANNY” SHOULD BE TERMINATED SIMPLY FOR THAT VACUOUS LOOK ON HER UGLY FACE! I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THAT POOR BABY, BOUGHT BY A “MOTHER” WHO DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sorry that nanny looks like one mean bicth

rockerchick @ 07/30/2007 at 1:15 pm

i don’t think a concert is the best place for a 3 month old. it’s not just the noise…what about the smoke (and not just cigarettes) and drugs. she may be able to hire a nice road crew, but can she say the same thing about everyone else around her.

I agree with the posters who said this baby should not have been at the concert AT ALL. I have 2 kids and understand (probably moreso than any rock star) that there are times you have to be somewhere and you have to take your kids along. But Sheryl has a nanny — which means the nanny could have stayed back at the hotel (although from the look on her face, the nanny could give a sh-t…).

Something tells me this was all about a photo op for Ms. Crow…

jeannified @ 07/30/2007 at 3:18 pm

Maybe this is why Lance dumped Sheryl. Who the hell takes their three month old to a concert? Poor baby IS being tortured! Earphones and a FORCED pacifier?! Why didn’t she just leave the baby and the nanny in her green room or hotel room? How difficult would that have been?

I have a three-month old, and I would NEVER have done that!

wow. this is the worst celebrity mom I’ve ever seen — even worse than Britney. selfish, hypocritical, uncaring… the WORST.

Sheryl fan @ 02/04/2008 at 3:21 pm

All you people leaving these comments are uneducated morons who don’t know what goes on behind the scenes & should keep your comments to yourself. She obviously IS talented otherwise she wouldn’t sell albums like she does, perform sell out concerts like she does as well. Do any of you have any Grammys? I didn’t think so. Have some common sense. And maybe, just maybe, she only had Wyatt there while she was on stage…who knows how long the Nannie & Wyatt stayed at this concert…I don’t & neither do any of you. You should all think before you speak. Especially Dieter….you talk about people who don’t like Angelina & Brad need to get a life. You sound like you need to get a life if you actually care that people do or don’t like them. While you’re at it, grab an education as well…you’re simply an idiot with very poor english. I hope to God that none of you people have children that you’re passing your criticism of other people onto or allowing your children to be just as judgemental.

And to ellie…if you don’t live with Sheryl & Wyatt, don’t assume that you know the Nanny takes care of him all of the time. You don’t know that & I feel sorry for your child having a mother as judgemental & ignorant as yourself. You’re probably some trailer park white trash, sitting at home waiting for that next welfare cheque. I can almost guarantee that Wyatt will grow up to be a better man/person than your son will because of YOU! Worry about your own son & let Sheryl take of hers…although I’m sure she wouldn’t give a rat’s ass what any of you people think.

You all need to get a life…stop criticizing others to make yourself look or feel better about yourself or your pathetic life. It’s simply jealousy that is shining through each & every one of your comments. Sad really…
