This is how Minka Kelly grew up: Her mother got pregnant, and her father, a musician named Rick Dufay — he played with Aerosmith for a while in the early eighties — wasn't a part of her childhood.

"My mom lived a fast life," she says now. "It was all about what we could do to have fun with nothing. She — for most of my life, she was a dancer. An exotic dancer. She was a stripper. Um, so she would come home at like three, four o'clock in the morning, and sometimes she would have a really great night, and so she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we'd go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping. And that was so much fun. We'd have the whole grocery store to ourselves, and we would have a blast and buy a hundred dollars in groceries. And it was just the best day ever. The best day."

Her Mom taught her well - How much do you think Jeter dropped on Minka? About a million I would guess.

Anyone got stories about Minka's Mom: Maureen Perez Kelly? Pics would be great.
