Celebrity dad Mark Wahlberg is trying to teach his oldest kids a lesson: don’t get tattoos.  Mark shared that he’s in the process of removing all of his tattoos and has been taking Ella and Michael along to witness the painful procedure.

“[All the tattoos] have meaning to me, but it’s both personal and professional.

I don’t want my kids getting tattoos. And I wanted them to be [removed] by the time I did The Fighter because putting make-up on and covering them up has always been a pain in the butt.”

I’ve taken my two older kids to the procedure so they see how painful it is and what I have to go through,” he reveals.

Mark also says that he’s hoping none of his kids catch the acting bug:

“I don’t want my kids to be in the entertainment business either, which is why I’m trying to build a lot of [separate] businesses.   If they feel [passionate about acting], and that’s the decision they want to make, then I’ll support them. But I’ll do everything I can to point them in another direction.”

It’s funny how most celebrity parents are adamant that they don’t want their own kids getting into showbiz.  I’m sure their own parents felt the same way.

Mark Wahlberg is back-pedaling this afternoon, apologizing for the comments he made during an interview with Men’s Journal about 9/11, claiming he would’ve landed the plane safely had he been on board.  He tells TMZ he’s very sorry:

“To suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. “To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with.  I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention.”

Mark’s initial comments to Men’s Journal if you missed it this morning:

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

Do you think Mark needed to apologize for the comments?

Mark Wahlberg says that Jennifer Lopez is dying for the lead role in the new flick ‘Cocaine Cowboys’ and he thinks it’ll bring an Oscar to anyone who lands the part.

Mark was on ‘Sway in the Morning’ explaining that he won’t announce yet who will be playing the role of ‘Godmother’ Griselda Blanco until the script is finalized.  The movie is about the drug trade that swept through southern Florida in the 1970s and 1980s.

“It’s one of those characters that will go down in history… If I could play Griselda, I would. That’s Academy Award (material) right there.”

Are you a fan of J.Lo’s movies and do you think she could be Oscar-worthy?  I’ve loved some of her comedies like ‘The Wedding Planner‘ and ‘Monster-in-Law‘.
