Not exactly "just like us"

You know that section of US Magazine: "Stars -- They're Just Like Us!"

Well, today while paging through a copy of the mag I see in this particular section a picture of Sarah Jessica Parker and her son James. James is throwing a classic tantrum (it may have something to do with that hat he's wearing) and there's SJP, mouth all tight and you can almost hear that snarly "Stop it or you're gettin' a smack!" She's got a grip on his hand...we've all seen and done this before.

The kicker in all this is the blurb next to the picture:

"Vexed in the city! SARAH JESSICA PARKER soothed her son, James, 3, who preferred playing with his yellow flashlight over cooperating with Mom during an outing in NYC on Jan. 27. 'She was very gentle with him and calmly talked to him,' says a witness."

*snort* Yeah, right! Get real. Why is it that I take a sick kind of pleasure in seeing this?
