Today, we're facing the truth about celebrities.
They fascinate us, they shock us, it is never boring.
Like when celebs throw extravagant parties
even for their kids.
Check this out.
(upbeat music) Celebrities love a good party
and they're not playin' around
when it comes to their kids' birthday bashes.
Kylie just threw an elaborate party
for Stormi's one year birthday called Stormiworld.
It was a play on her dad, Travis Scott's, Astroworld Tour.
She was even gifted a baby Chanel bag from DJ Khaled,
who is no stranger to extravagant kids parties.
And they're not alone.
Beyonce and Jay Z allegedly spent $20,000 on a Frozen party
for their daughter, Blue Ivy.
Tori Spelling was a celeb kid party OG,
throwing huge birthday parties for her children.
So what's the mindset of these lavish bashes?
And what kind of message are they sending to the rest of us?
So ladies, what's your take on these elaborate,
extravagant bashes that people are throwing?
Well here's the problem with that,
it becomes more about the parents
and what they're trying to project,
rather than celebrating the child and their milestones.
And I think some of these parents,
maybe they're trying to stay relevant on social media,
maybe they're competing with other parents
Keeping up with the Joneses.
Yeah, but I think it just (laughter)
sends a bad message to the children.
I mean, when a child is one or two,
they won't even remember this.
But when they get older,
they might feel like bigger is better.
They might feel like if they didn't get an extravagant party
that somehow they're being punished
or they did something wrong.
I personally think that if you are wealthy
then there's nothing wrong with
throwing your kids a nice party.
Right.
But it should be milestones.
Right.
Their Fifth, their 10th--
Something that they're gonna remember.
Their 15th, it should not be every year
that then they're going to expect this
huge elaborate thing to happen every year.
I think that that's spoiling them too much
and it's like well what about this
and what about, you know what I mean?
It's like, sometimes it's okay to do things
just a little bit small and do milestones birthday,
In my opinion. Yeah I think that
teenagers too, you raise a good point
because as the kids grow older,
I remember going to my daughter's first bar mitzvah
that my daughter was invited to
and I was shocked because the mother
had three wardrobe changes
and I'm sittin' here thinking is this party for the kid,
or for the mother?
I love it.
Audience, it is time for you to tell the truth.
Are these parties too excessive for children?
Press yes or no on your tablets.
And America, you can vote at home too.

(soft music)
(music intensifies)
Okay, the results are in.
Overwhelmingly, 89% of you said yes,
they are too excessive!
Yes, they are.
(applause and laughter)
Agreed.
Now, while we're on the topic
of celebrity parties,
how 'bout inviting your ex to your birthday party?
Hmm, okay?
Recently, Jennifer Aniston invited her ex-husband,
Brad Pitt, to her 50th birthday bash.
She also invited her ex, John Mayer.
Would you invite your ex?
No.
I think first of all,
it really depends on the level of maturity
and where you are in your life.
I really think that if you have a significant other
that simply you should talk to, and if they're okay
and they're friends, that's a whole--
'cause there's a lot of people in Hollywood that
they're friends with their exes.
That's a whole different level of respect
if they're in agreement with your partner.
But I kinda think that maybe she kinda invited Brad Pitt
to kinda tell someone I got him here at my party and you
no longer have him.
So I think there was a underlying--
Subtle message being said
Subtle message saying hello, I got your man.
A little shade.
I think a lot of times too,
a lot of people have shared kids,
so they're co-parenting their kids and the ex has become
friends with the new spouse or the new partner
because they spend so much time together as a family.
So it could be okay if you're inviting someone that
you've become friends with and there's no longer any
you know, emotional attachment to that person.
That's what I think concerns me the most.
Is that person there because there's still
some kind of romantic interest or attachment to the person?
I was just about to say that.
(laughter)
Exactly.
And see, my general rule is just say no.
Leave the past in the past,
if there aren't entanglements or special occasions like
Rosie just mentioned, why you would do that.
Why?
I just so think it's gonna just start an argument.
What if he does a lingering look just a little bit too long?
And then the current catches her
when they go to take their picture they're in,
huggin' a little bit too tight.
You're asking for trouble
Yeah.
You're asking for trouble.
