Rumer Willis, 19 next week, the daughter of Bruce Willis, 52, and Demi Moore, 44, films scenes for her upcoming movie project. Also in the pictures is American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee. In the film, the two portray unconventional sorority sisters — Rumer plays a dork who refuses to remove an un-needed back brace, while Katherine plays a pregnant hippy.

Live Free or Die Hard finds Bruce Willis‘ John McClane trying to rescue his daughter from Internet terrorists and the actor says he will go to great lengths to protect his own daughters, Rumer, 18, Scout, 15, and Tallulah, 13, in real life too.

That father-figure element is part of what a good friend of mine calls ‘The Mythology of ‘Die Hard’ – it’s one of the components of John McClane’s character. And it’s one that, before I had kids, I wouldn’t have said is a major part of the films. But now, having three daughters it is a major component – that idea that McClane has zero tolerance for injustice and will not allow any bad guy to try and cause harm to an innocent person. I feel that within every fiber of my body with my kids; I would put myself in front of a car or anything to protect my daughters. And by extension, I thought, yeah, that’s kind of what John McClane does, isn’t it?

Famous people should not be allowed to have kids.  At least, that’s the idea being advanced over at msnbc.com, where celebrities are knocked for everything from wrecking their kids soccer games by virtue of their attendance (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) to dangling their babies from balconies (Michael Jackson).  Between their inexplicable need to choose, ahem, odd baby names — Audio Science anyone? — to their even more inexplicable need to self-exploit via reality television, celebrities and their families have captivated the public in recent memory.  So much so, in fact, the author notes that "the hot celebrity accessory this season is the child — domestic or imported."

It’s only a matter of time before even Paris Hilton hops on this trend, ordering blond-hair extensions for her mini mirror image.  Here’s hoping Paris Jr. isn’t as easily misplaced as Tinkerbell.

Other offenses making the list of reasons why celebrities should be forbidden from having kids include their "innate inability to distinguish between healthy parent-child communication and ‘Glengarry Glen Ross," a nod to Alec Baldwin, and "Amicable divorces are even creepier than those that go to DEFCON 1," in reference to the Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher-Bruce Willis love-fest.

What do you think? Please note that the article is tongue-in-cheek!

Although she gave college at USC a try last fall, Rumer Willis is apparently going into the family business. The eldest daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, is reportedly set to star in her very first lead role in a film tilted, Seducing Spirits.  According to In Touch, the 18-year-old will start shooting the project on April 24 in LA. A production company insider told the magazine,

It’ll be Rumer’s first lead and she’s excited.

Although this will be Rumer’s first go round as a lead actor, it will not be her first time on the big screen. She has had small parts alongside her parents in such films as Hostage, Striptease, Now & Then, and The Whole Nine Yards.

Scout Willis, 15 1/2, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore partied in Paris late last month. The party was held by celebrity mother, Donatella Versace, for fashion week. Scout is drinking champagne; the legal drinking age in most European countries is 16, so she is still slightly under the age limit. Though, as they suggest at DListed, maybe it’s sparkling cider! Scout, who was named after the character in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, has two sisters, Rumer, 18, and Tallulah, 13.

British actor Michael Sheen, who portrays Tony Blair in the Oscar-nominated movie The Queen, participated in a Q&A with Who Magazine last month, where he talked about his daughter Lily, 8, and why he punk’d his ex Kate Beckinsale. Here are the highlights:

- Michael splits his time between London, where he lives, and Los Angeles, where Kate and Lily reside with Kate’s husband, director Len Wiseman. Although he says he would never move to L.A. because "the rest of my life" is in England, Michael tries to visit as often as possible. "Unlike most actors, I’m not there for the films but for my daughter."

- There are no hard feelings between Kate and Michael, who were together from 1995-2003. The two remain very close, so much so that Michael, 38, had no qualms when Ashton Kutcher approached him to punk her.

Kate is a huge practical joker, so I said absolutely. I didn’t want anything that would upset her in the wrong way or involve my daughter though. It was the most stressful experience ever, because it’s so difficult to plan and you have to do it in secret. But afterwards we really laughed and Kate really enjoyed it in retrospect. I live in dread of her getting me back because she loves practical jokes. I absolutely hate them.

- One thing Michael has in common with Ashton is that he has a good relationship with Len, similar to the one Ashton has with Bruce Willis. Incidentally, Len is currently directing Bruce in the next Die Hard sequel, Live Free or Die Hard. "It’s great. The relationship that Kate, Len, Kate’s husband, and I have is really good and we’re really good friends."

- Michael is developing a knack for impressions ever since Lily started requesting her father to become characters she saw in films or read in books.

Because she’s a totally non-judgmental audience, I felt confident enough to have a go at them. I got better and better at doing it and that’s probably what’s behind all these real life characters that I’m playing now. The last thing she really loved was Happy Feet so I’m going to have to study the penguins.

- The Underworld film series are very special to the family  – Kate and Michael starred in the movies, directed by Len, which is how the couple met, and Lily played the young Selene, Kate’s character, in the second one.

It’s lovely that there’s one film that she, her mother and I are all in at the same time. That’s a nice family memento to have for years to come. Whether she carries on doing stuff, I don’t know. She says she wants to be a pop star and a writer so we’ll see what happens with that.
