Who are our famous family members? Wednesday night, the stars’ seeds got their chance to shine in a great charity event for kids that brought out the pride and joys of many of the NY Knicks, Yankees and a plethora of other entertainers. Here’s more about the event: The inaugural Kids Rock! runway show took place last night on September 11th, 2013 at Grand Central Terminal for New York Fashion Week 2014 and featured a bevy of celebrity offspring and children models walking the runway in looks from iconic brands, Levi’s®, Converse, Nike, Jordan and Nike SB. Hosted by NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire, the Kid’s Rock! fashion show was dedicated to benefitting the Amar’e Stoudemire Foundation and nonprofit organization K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations) to aid at-risk youth and children in need. Along with Amar’e Stoudemire’s children, Amar’e Jr., Assata and Ar’e, celebrity kids who walked the runway include: Carmelo and La La Anthony’s son Kiyan, Lil’ Jon’s son DJ Young Slade, Kelly Bensimon’s daughter Thaddeus Ann, Sherri Shepherd’s son Jeffrey Tarplay. Taking after his showbiz mom, Jeffrey was the life of the party as he danced down the runway and giving out high fives to the professional athletes in the front row. Derek Jeter’s nephew, the children of the New York Yankees’ CC Sabathia and Angie Martinez’s son Niko saluted the crowd to cheers. The children and nephew of Orange is the New Black star Dascha Polanco, and Shameless actress Emma Kenney also strutted down the runway. In attendance to root on the kid models and to support a good cause were: Carmelo and LaLa Anthony, Kelly Bensimon, Tyson and Kimberly Chandler, Patrick Toussaint, Po Johnson, Lil’ Jon, Jeannie Mai, Jill Martin, Angie Martinez, DJ Cassidy, Dascha Polanco, Amber Sabathia, and Sherri Shepherd. 10-year-old DJ Fulano, pint-sized deejay and style maven, spun the latest hits. Hair authority and owner of Cozy Cuts for Kids, Cozy Friedman, and her team styled the models as they sported the hottest looks of the season. Looks like a great event!

It’s been a really great season for the New York Knicks so far, and it just got a lot better for forward Amar’e Stoudemire! Last night in an ultra private ceremony, Stoudemire married longtime love and mother of his three children, Alexis Welch. Surrounded by only a few family members, the Amar’e and Alexis got tied the knot on the rooftop of their apartment building. They are still planning on having a big celebration sometime in the new year. The couple was supposedly inspired by the special 12-12-12 date. Let’s hope Stoudemire’s happy news puts him in good spirits for the Knicks-Lakers game tonight!
Amar’e Stoudemire’s got a new gig. The NBA player recently wrote a children’s book series and it’s all about encouraging young boys (and girls) to reach their goals. Co-written by Stoudemire with the Scholastic team, the New York Knicks captain’s first book of the series, Home Court , is about his life as a 6’11″ middle school student who plays basketball, baseball and football with his friends in Lake Wales, the small Florida city where he grew up. According to a Scholastic spokesperson, the series is likely to be ongoing, although just three books have been commissioned to date. Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has a lot going on. He loves to go skateboarding in the park. He takes his school work very seriously. He helps out with his dad’s landscaping company. And he likes to play basketball with his best friends—but just for fun. When a group of older kids start disrespecting his boys on their neighborhood basketball court, there is only one solution. Amar’e must step in and use his athletic ability and intelligence to save the day. This experience leads Amar’e to realize that basketball is his true passion. STAT is based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today. “Kids need to enjoy reading and not see it as a chore,” said Stoudemire, a “proud father of three” who says he didn’t read enough as a child and is now “always” reading to his kids (ages 7, 5 and 4). He said he wrote STAT to give kids more opportunities to read books for fun. The books are just part of Stoudemire’s efforts to promote child literacy. The Amar’e Stoudemire Foundation works to “creatively inspire young people to avoid poverty through education.” “It gives a lot of messages about the responsibility of working and doing homework and learning to be leaders with my friends and be a positive influence,” said Stoudemire. Big ups to Amar’e for helpin out the kidz and encouraging them to reach their goals. Source Images via WENN/Twitter
