Melanie Griffith knows good parenting
Melanie Griffith was photographed outside Maxfield's in Beverly Hills lighting her 17-year-old daughter's cigarette despite the smoking age being 18 in the United States. Bad parenting? Or real American hero. Only time will tell.
More of Melanie and her daughter looking like strung out hippies after the jump.

Better cigarettes than plastic surgery

They're both studying for upcoming roles of homeless hookers. Isn't it obvious?

Better to give her cigarettes than plastic surgery. How much work do you think Melanie's had? Be dead or look like death...you decide

So a lot of people say that they smoke because it helps them relax, right? What in the bloody hell does a 17 year old millionairre have to stress about so badly that she would feel the need to inhale carcinogens into her lungs to "help" her feel calm? Idiots, both of 'em.

I heard Melanie also inserts her daughter's diaphram for her.
I can't wait to spark up a joint with my daughter. Do you think 5 is too young?

I believe it was Melanie Griffith who once said that if her daughter wanted to smoke pot when she was 16 she would give her the joint and smoke it with her...
A year late and *not* a joint... so maybe she's changed her mind slightly ??
I don't think it's all that shocking considering the fact that mothers like Jean Spears, Dina Lohan, and Tina Simpson all think it's acceptable to "pimp" their underage daughters out for the world to see!! May I remind everyone that when Britney was "hot" (at 17) her mother signed the dotted line for her to pose half-naked with a teletubby on the cover of Rolling Stone??? Not to mention the pictures inside which totally catered to every pedophiles dream- her riding bikes with her ass hanging out and in her room with a bunch of dolls??
Melanie doesn't seem as bad to me as those mothers. Rock on Mel! :)

Well, obviously Griffith Jr. needs to smoke. Can't you see how FAT she is?!
20. Posted by jrzmommy on August 4, 2006 02:19 PM
This is totally normal parenting in Hollywood. The mother looks like a washed-up stripper/street walker and is desperately trying to not look like a mom, while the daughter feels helpless by the mother's hyper-sexuality and turns into a mousey emaciated ghost of a person and resorts to self-destructive behavior in order to have a mutual interest with the mother who barely knows she's alive. That's great.

Prior to the cigarette, Mom and daughter shared their first Latino poolboy. It was a moving experience, a milestone for both Melanie and her child. When she turns 18, Mel's going to gift her with her first plastic surgery. The rich are not like us... they have class.

Melanie doesn't have children, she has LITTERS - she has whelped several from most of Hollywood's leading men, and God-only-knows-who-else - that concentration camp victim on the photos looks suspiciously like one of the Olsen twins, and it wouldn't surprise me if Mel's DNA was washing around in there too...

i can see britney spears doing something like this. and then to cover it up she'll say "YEAH BUT MELANIE GRIFFITH DID IT"
37. Posted by Equalparts on August 4, 2006 02:58 PM
This is not that big of a deal to me. The girl is going to smoke whether her mom lights her cigarettes or not, you know? Melanie probably just knows that and accepts it. It doesn't mean she likes it. I'm sure if she had her choice, she'd not allow it.
Also--these two do not look like happy campers in the pics. Looks like they just got some bad news. "Fuck it honey, let's spark it up."
Melanie looks great...how she manages to keep so skinny at that age. I'm so jealous, and I'm only 31 years old.

The only reason people smoke is that they believe it will help them be slim and help them look cool.
Melanie doesn't want a fat dull kid. It's not good for her own image.
43. Posted by discreet_chaos on August 4, 2006 03:30 PM
Cigarette ages are state laws, not federal. Eighteen may be the national average for purchasing and it may even dominate, but it's not the law of the Unired States.
In Colorado, it is against the law for a minor to purchase tobacco, but not for them to possess or consume it. California law restricts purchasing and possession, but it is not illegal for a minor to use it.

That website is downright frightening - Antonio must be drunk constantly or suffer from some sort of eye disease, because I cnanot imagine waking up next to that - she should have a goatee by now for all the skin that's been pulled back and stretched - with all the pups she's squeezed out for various men over the years, I am sure she's had her cooch cinched up too...if not, I would imagine it would be like fucking a pail of warm water...
54. Posted by ImSuicidal on August 4, 2006 04:41 PM
@50 I also went to her website and found Melanies messages. As soon as I opened it, I could here her in my mind saying, "I have a mind for business and a bod for sin" in that throaty asthmatic voice of hers.
And then I scratched my brain right out of my fuckin head!!

That's like me saying to my daughter, "Sweetie, I don't want you having sex at such a young age, but here are some porno videos since I know you'll probably do it anyway. Might as well spice it up.
This is gross. Get a clue, Mel.

"what truly saddens me about this story is that melanie grifith's daughter is not hot"
I don't know, after looking at all the pictures, I think she's kind of cute in a Don Johnson gene pool, submissive lesian biker, anorexic, terminal lung cancer, close to death kind of way.
And nice prison tattoo on Melanies arm. She's actually managed to starve off what used to be a pretty impressive Rack job.

"Here are scenes from Melanie Griffith's latest film, titled 'Whore', the poignant story of 'Pepper Flappysnatch' a former actress-turned-prostitute-after-her-hot-Spanish-hubby-dumps-her-for-someone-hotter. She dedicates her life to helping Beverly Hills street kids who have maxed out their credit cards and don't know else to turn to for help."
65. Posted by Tattoo Joe on August 4, 2006 07:28 PM
I'm surprised they got caught smoking. They usually would use that trick where they can disappear completely by turning sideways. But I guess it would look weird to see two cigarettes just floating in mid-air.
66. Posted by DrunkBlogger on August 4, 2006 07:55 PM
All you need to do is search for Melanie Griffith porn and find the picture of her getting cummed on her head. It explains this behavior and you can pretty much see her whole life flash before your eyes.
67. Posted by PunjabPete on August 4, 2006 08:30 PM
The reason the "daughter" is so small and thin is they made her out of all the parts of Mel that have been refurbished and replaced in the last 10 years... Have you seen Mels lips lately? Looks like a baboon's ass...

Trivia :
Melanie Griffith moved in with Don Johnson ( pictured daughter Dakota's father ), when she was 14 and he was 22, married him at 18, and divorced a year later.
So, in addition to being a drug-addled, talentless, bankrupt douche, Don Johnson is also a pedophile.

Well, judging from her horrible films, most of her best performances have been displayed while she is on her back or her knees, no doubt in front of coked-up producers, whom, while sober would not give this nepotite a job as messenger girl on the set were it not for her mother...

It's like all these parents who think that they're taking temptation away by letting their kids experiment. But all that they're doing is showing their kids that it's totally okay to do drugs and drink. Sure some kids will take their 'experimenting' underground, but even if kids' parents let them experiment at home, they'll still go out and drink and do drugs with their friends. Maybe the parents should actually discipline their children instead of trying to be cool, or trying to be their kids' friends.

77, gotta love how your focus moves from cigarettes to ZOMG, the dangers of drink and drugs!11!
I can't see myself lighting a cigarette for my kid even if I smoked myself, but the girl is 17, what exactly is Griffiths supposed to do to prevent her smoking?
Body slam her into the pavement and have a CCTV watching her every move to make sure she doesn't smoke? (Not to mention, most people in Hollywood smoke to keep their weight down. Otherwise there'd be moral majority people like you saying 'How DARE her parents allow her to become overweight and risk her health, the first step to hooking your body on the street for crack?!11'

#79. I'm just saying that parents should be more responsible. And I'm not saying that people should beat their children, I just think that parents should have consequinces for their childrens' actions. And she doesn't like her daughter smoking she shouldn't be lighting her cigarettes, but obviously she could care less. And you know what else keeps someones weight down? Fucking exersize!!
81. Posted by Sheva on August 5, 2006 10:09 AM
Folks have it all wrong. The girl is not smoking cuz she wants to but she has a quota. Since mom can't give up cigs, she has to smoke with someone. She told her daughter if she meets her quota, she'll get breast implants.
So that's what the smoking is about. Getting gigantor breast implants that will tip her over when she drinks too much.
Now what's this about exercise? Isn't that something European women do?

This scene is obviously Step 2 in the mother-daughter "How to Snort Coke" lesson. Step 1; use the extra long acrylic pinkie nail to snort coke into both nostrils (see photo 4). Step 2; light up a cigarette to mellow out the buzz and make it last longer.
Its not often we get to see this usually covert behavior publically in broad daylight. Generally its something that is only heard from the outside of a bathroom stall (with several pairs of feet visible only) in the ladies' room of an L.A. nightclub. This really is a rare and unusual sighting. And caught on film too!
