[[tmz:video id="0_w990f2bv"]] Surfing legend Laird Hamilton has some simple, and possibly controversial, shark advice -- if you're a woman and you're on your period, stay outta the water ... 'cause you're gonna get bit. We got Laird in Malibu, naturally, and asked him about the rash of shark sightings on SoCal beaches lately. He downplayed the danger ... well, unless you're a woman. Look, Laird's like the closest thing to a real-life Aquaman -- it's rare to catch...

Surfer Laird Hamilton has faced down waves up to 70 feet high, but for Rory Kennedy’s documentary “Take Every Wave,” he had to completely open himself up. “Laird approached this project much like he approaches a big wave. There are moments when it was uncomfortable, but he went in 100 percent straight in those moments,” Kennedy said to TheWrap’s Matt Donnelly. “Take Every Wave” is the remarkable story of an American icon who changed the sport of big wave surfing forever. Transcending the surf genre, this in-depth portrait of a hard-charging athlete explores the fear, courage and ambition that push a.

When he wasn't saving lives yesterday, surf god Laird Hamilton pulled an Insane move off the beaches of Malibu -- Shooting The Pier -- and TMZ Sports has the footage. It's pretty crazy video ... you can see Laird paddling up to the pier on his board and then carefully positioning himself to ride through the wood beams ... without smashing into 'em. Warning -- Do Not Try This At Home ... it's super dangerous and most people are not Laird Hamilton.

Whether we were on Mars, in a time machine, wandering a realm, or raising the dead, Rod Serling‘s (The Twilight Zone) messages on morals and social justice maneuvered their way into our homes, our hearts, our minds, and our conscience via the vessels of sci-fi and fantasy. Yet more admirable than Serling’s artistry and convictions was his love for his family, extolling the very same warmth and compassion that many of us felt from his stories and films onto his wife and children. And for his youngest daughter, Anne Serling, a unique father/daughter bond was forged between them, as timeless as infinity.
Endowed with both her father’s passion for writing and social concerns, Anne Serling is an accomplished poet, novelist, short story writer, and author of As I Knew Him, an honest and personal biographical memoir of her mentor, “best buddy”, and dad,...

The beach's tannest and most enviable couple -- pro-volleyball player Gabrielle Reece and surfing superstar Laird Hamilton -- have been married for 17 years. They have two daughters together and one teenage daughter from Laird's first marriage. Reece recently wrote a memoir titled "My Foot Is Too Big For The Glass Slipper," about her marriage, the couple's misses and failures, as well as their most cherished lessons on living happily together and how it make it all work. But one statement in the book set off a firestorm of media reaction last month. Reece wrote, “to truly be feminine means being soft, receptive, and –- look out, here it comes –- submissive.”
HuffPost La spoke with Reece on the phone from her home in Kauai, Hawaii, to find out if she still stands by her submissiveness statement, how she got into a scuffle with Katie Couric and why fairy tales aren't meant to come true.

Volleyball star Gabby Reece stopped by "Chelsea Lately" to address the controversy that erupted over a comment she made on the "Today" show. She was on that show to promote her new book on parenting -- "My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper" -- available now. She said that the secret to her marriage to professional surfer Laird Hamilton was the adopting of traditional gender roles.
The statement made headlines, and got the attention of many feminist groups, who took issue with Gabby's suggestion that women should be "submissive." Reece clarified what she meant on "Chelsea."
"They took it out of context," she insisted. "And Laird said to me -- he started laughing -- he goes, ‘Really, did you tell them you think that, but you don’t actually do that?”
She said that what she was trying to say is that "it’s just nice if...

Looks like the folks at The Colbert Report were getting into the Christmas spirit with all the red and green lighting on the set last night, not to mention the candy-cane stripes on the ‘columns’ behind our own Stephen-Claus.
Let me just get this out in the open right now, the Tsa pancake report nearly did me in on so many levels. I was laughing so hard, I was crying, and as always, just when I was thinking, “Nah, he won’t actually eat that pants-cake,” he did, much to the squealing delight of the faithful (present company included). He always looks like a mischievous little boy when he elicits that kind of reaction from the audience. If you’re like me,...

Chelsea Lauren/WireImage Some women find self-gratification through their ability to walk the fine line between their career and their family simultaneously, but for Gabrielle Reece, the obvious imbalance in her life is most rewarding!
“The better you are as a parent, the crappier you are at work,” she tells Pint Size Social. “I want to have a killer career, but not at the sake of my kids.” Although she is fully willing to dedicate herself to her job, the model and former volleyball star ensures her commitments don’t come at a price.
“I work as hard as I can as long as it is not impeding on my time with the children. It is a healthy balance. But I also know that I’m lucky and have a luxury most people don’t. If I am on a photo shoot, I can bring my kids to work.”

Price/Ertischek/Splash News Online The inner reserves of love and patience that parents find they have with a subsequent child is always a pleasant surprise. In the cover story for the February/March 2008 issue of Fit Pregnancy magazine, Gabrielle Reece admitted she was worried about how the introduction of a second daughter — Brody Jo, now 18 months — would impact her first daughter, 5 ½-year-old Reece Viola. “When you have your second child, you’re surprised that you have more to give,” Gabrielle says in the magazine’s August/September issue. “With one, you feel like you’re giving everything you have, and then a new baby arrives and you’re amazed you can give even more.”
Still, it was a “big transition” for Reece to make; Because she is “very close” with dad Laird Hamilton, Reece needed to learn how to share his affections. When her older daughter struggles with as much,...
