Eddie Vedder of the 90’s angsty grunge band Pearl Jam says he hasn’t mellowed in recent years. In fact he says he has gotten angrier than ever. Part of the reason, Vedder says, is that he wants the world to be a better place for his three-year old daughter, Olivia.

“When I had a child, everyone was telling me that I was going to see the world through her eyes, and everything was going to get this nice gloss to it,” Vedder told reporters at Tuesday’s Into the Wild press conference in West Hollywood. “I kept waiting for that to happen, and thought there was a real problem with me that it wasn’t.

It was a different reaction. It wasn’t the glowy lovey-dovey. It fueled my anger.

I realized that I was getting more angry – the exact opposite – and maybe it was because of the times, three years ago and what’s still happening. … All of a sudden, I saw the world as her world that they were [messing] with. That really pissed me off.

I don’t know what I’m going to say when she sees pictures of me hanging 30 feet off a rafter, over a crowd. At a certain point, you realize you have a responsibility more behind yourself and your need for adrenaline. I’m glad I did things in my 20s that were more reckless.”

Vedder wants to avoid the mistakes his parents made while raising him.

“I’m trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived. I know that she’s going to go through a time where she has to assert her independence. I’m going to have to just encourage that.

I think she’s going to have a great upbringing. Already, she’s provided a life of travel. I didn’t get to New York until 25 or Europe until I was 26. She’s been to all these places six or seven times. She’s beyond me in terms of her comfortability around other people, to this day.”

Pearl Jam’s ‘Alive’ Video

Celebrity Babylon snapped this picture of Lil’ Kim showing her support for Lindsay Lohan. Kim, who is no stranger to the law, had this to say to Lindsay,

“Hold your head…” and “God loves you, so do I.”

Or if you can’t hold hold your head up, at least get Samantha Ronson to cover it with your sweatshirt.

Christina Aguilera is defending Britney Spears’ parenting skills saying that she really is a good mom.

Aguilera says,

“Britney is a good person and a good mom. She’s been under so much pressure since she was a child. I don’t think any of us should judge her or jump to conclusions. She loves her boys (Sean Preston and Jayden James) and they’re turning out great.”

Ok Xtina, how about forgetting about Britney and defending your over usage of that F* Me red lipstick you’re always wearing?!
