Alicia Silversto...Alicia Silverstone’s viral bird-like video, where the actress is seen feeding her young son Bear Blue pre-chewed food out of her own mouth, caused quite a stir. "I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup... from my mouth to his. It's his favorite... and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I'm eating," Silverstone wrote on her personal blog. The practice of pre-chewing food is not completely unheard of, but very rare in the United States because it risks passing diseases from parent to child. Silverstone has faced harsh criticism from fans and health experts alike for sharing her strange feeding technique. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

MadonnaMadonna and Guy Ritchie’s divorce seemed amicable, but that doesn’t stop her from making outrageous demands behind-the-scenes concerning their kids.

They must follow an organic, macrobiotic diet that consists on only organic foods, all while drinking Kabbalah-blessed water. Their clothes must not contain man-made fibers, their toys must be pre-approved by the singer and Ritchie is only allowed to read them one bedtime book: "David the English Rose," penned by the "Material Girl" herself. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Stuart Wilson/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
Mayim BialikFormer "Blossom" star Mayim Bialik made waves in the parenting community with the release of her book, "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way." The actress, who practices "attachment parenting," refuses to use a stroller because she feels a sling keeps the child closer, has never put a diaper on either of her sons and skips out on date night because she doesn’t feel a babysitter is appropriate. Her most controversial decision is to co-sleep in bed every night with her husband and two young sons, a decision that many critics find dangerous. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
Michael JacksonThe late Michael Jackson was certainly an oddball, a fact that was made more apparent by his bizarre parenting techniques. Jackson never let his children out of the house without masks—a strange attempt to shield them from the limelight. His biggest mistake came in 2002, when he dangled his infant son over a balcony for fans during a trip to Germany. Jackson was criticized for endangering his child and later apologized for the incident, calling it a "terrible mistake." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Pool /Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

John Travolta an...John Travolta and Kelly Preston, who are open about their extreme devotion to Scientology, reportedly practiced the ritual of a “silent birth” during the delivery of their third child in 2010. Preston did not talk or scream while giving birth to baby Benjamin. The pair reportedly forbade doctors from running medical tests on or speaking to the baby for seven days. Scientologists do not traditionally believe in the use of antibiotics or anti-psychotic drugs, a decision that Travolta and Preston were heavily criticized for in the case of their late son Jett, who was believed to have suffered from Kawasaki disease. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Toby Canham/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
Gwyneth PaltrowGwyneth Paltrow was slammed by health experts for falsely informing fans of the horrible consequences of several household products, including shampoo, on her personal website. "Fetuses, infants and toddlers are basically unable to metabolize toxins the way that adults are, and we are constantly filling our environments with chemicals that may or may not be safe," she wrote. "The research is troubling; the incidence of diseases in children such as asthma, cancer and autism have shot up exponentially and many children we all know and love have been diagnosed with developmental issues like ADHD." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.
