March 2008 Archives

I've gained weight.

Let's just say that in the last few months, the pounds I lost came back and brought relatives and friends.

So, I'm back up to 250 (plus 7).

Damn. Damn. Damn.

Coco, the busty wife of rapper Ice-T makes us all remember what class really is.

Here she is on her birthday, with hubby Ice, posing for the camera.

Lovely, just lovely.

She sure knows how to put the "K" in classy.

And for a night out on the town with her man, Coco pulls out the stops in this outfit, showing off her. . . toe.

Showing her demure side, Coco dressed up for an Entertainment Weekly party.

She looks. . .welll. . . a damn hot mess!

I'm not a hater, but could she cover up those breasts? I mean, they've probably been seen more than the movie Juno in the last few months!

Here she is, one more time, for those who don't believe me.

Maybe her bras are too small.

Maybe she's seen one too many pornos.

Maybe her husband took everything she owned that covered her breasts.

We may never know, but please, for the sake of the children, cover it up!

This video is super cool.

If only I could get my cats to do this.

Hell, if only I could get my cats to do anything!

Well, I can always hope they will dance one day. . .

Walking hurts.

A lot.

And using a can is no picnic, either.

That's all - for now.

With pants on and no hot pink, bobbed wig, you might not recognize our girl, Brit Brit.

It appears that Britney Spears' family intervention is working out for her.

She's been allowed to see her children.

Brit Brit is teaching students how to dance at a California dance studio.

She's was on an episode of CBS's "How I met your mother," last night as the receptionist at a doctor's office who has a crush on a patient.

It's Monday morning, and you're back from you Easter holiday.

Here's a story from Newsweek to ruin the holiday and its goodies for you, and throw you into enough guilt to get you to the gym.

I was shocked (just shocked!) to see that eating a whole chocolate bunny is not a good thing.

It has more than 1,000 calories in one bunny - roughly half the amount of calories adults need ALL DAY.

I'm more saddened that my Easter favorites, the Reeses' eggs, made the list. I mean, they only have 180 calories for one egg.

Couldn't they leave them alone?

You'll be really surprised at how much even a HOLLOW chocolate egg has calorie-wise.

Why is it that all the food that tastes good is so bad?

It just breaks my heart, so I had to share.

Hi guys. I apologize for being away for almost a week.

I started work and physical therapy this week, and let's just say it's been - tough.

So, I'm exhausted, and haven't had the energy to do my blog.

However, I promise I'll have some fun stuff up in the near future.

Yes, that's sooner than you think.

Darn this injured ankle and not having any energy.

So, your toddler is being bad out in public and you've had it up to here. . . what do you do?

Well, according to this mom, you spray the child with cold water.

In this MSN story, a mother disciplined her young child by spraying the kid with cold water.

People who watched her do it were mortified.

These folks have obviously never had a toddler.

Currently, the police are considering whether or not to file charges against her.

Though I commend her for originality, she may want to use a different tactic with her toddler.

She doesn't want the child to be scared of water, does she?

What do you guys think of this method of. . . ah. . . discipline?

You know, I never realized how big my office is.

Before the broken ankle, it always seemed too small and a little crowded with its walls of cubicles.

Now, this place feels like Beaver Stadium (where the folks at Penn State play football - and, interesting fact, is one of the largest stadiums in the world. Fascinating.)

I feel like I'm some small thing in a really big world.

Wait, I am a small thing in a big world. . . but you know what I mean.

I never really gave those motorized store scooters a second glance - that is, until I needed to use one.

Although I've got some new found freedom, I really can't get too far.

For example, if I was to try to walk from the front of the Target to the back wall, you'd find me about halfway there a half an hour or so after I started, begging for a medic.

But I still had to get groceries and such, which means I had to use the scooter.

My ankle is healing up nicely, and that I can go back to work!

Yeah!

So, I'll be back at the newspaper, part-time, starting March 17.

I'm so excited.

No, seriously, I am.

By now, most have read about Eliot Spitzer's "failings" involving a prostitution ring, and his wife standing by him during the fallout.

In this AP story, the reporter remarks about his "his weary-looking wife, Silda."

I'm weary of this whole situation.

What is up with the wife having to "share" her husband's public humiliation?

He's the one who was with a prostitute.

He's the one who spent roughly $80,000 doing so.

He should be the one who has to face the public and answer for his behavior - not her.

If I was Silda, I would be at home trying to comfort my three teenaged daughters, and helping them through this mess.

Spitzer would be on his own.

That is, if you count a Frankstein-like gait that causes me to sway like a drunk person, than yes, I am walking.

I've been trying to get more independent the last few weeks because I'm returning to work - yes, I'm going to stop milking the broken ankle and work - next week.

So, that means I had to give up the computer chair and walker combo, and try to walk around.

After a few failed experiments (I never knew falling could be so much fun), I got it.

That's the silence of no news in the world of Brit-Brit.

It's been weeks since she's used her crazy-person British accent in public.

I can't even remember the last time she flashed the paps with her bare vajayjay.

And she's also dumped her photographer boyfriend, the one who many believe was just after her for Brit-Brit's fame and fortune.

(I know, it's shocking. Just shocking that a pap would get close to Britney for the money. Say it isn't so.)

Britney Spears even spent time with her kids and is teaching dance lessons!

With her parents and family back in her life and in control of her affairs, it seems that Brit Brit is finally getting the help she needs.

My question for her family - what the heck took you guys so long!?!?!!

Are they the change she needs to get it together?

Has our girl finally cleaned herself up?

No, dear readers, we're not talking about me and my crew.

(Shout out to all the wild children who never play to grow up, HEEEEEEY!)

Anywho, I'm talking about Nicole Richie, and her man, Joel Madden.

It seems like Nicole's pregnancy and the birth of their daughter, Harlow, has really helped them grow up and get closer.

Like other celebs with million-dollar infants, they sold the "exclusive" photos to People Magazine. Here's some of the outtake photos from the web site.

Harlow is really a doll. She's so cute.

Nicole actually looks like she's eating, and happy.

Does this mean there's hope for others like Lindsey and Paris?

Only time will tell.

In other celebrity baby news, Christina Aguilera also debuted her baby in People Magazine.

Here's a look at Christina's baby, and his nursery.

I do have to say that I wonder how many other new moms wear silk around their babies. . .

Also, that moon in the nursury is the stuff that makes nightmares.

Poor baby.

Also, it appears that People paid the family more than $1 million to show the couple's baby, six-week-old, Max.

The magazine had expected to do well with sales of the magazine, but the sales were not as good as expected.

I think I may have missed a memo.

Did Victoria's Secret suddenly stop selling barely-there thongs, scandalously sheer teddies and those magical liquid push-up bras?

Has their lingerie been replaced by smocks made to wear while knitting and flannels that tell your man, "Don't even come over to this side of the bed?"

Will their flirty fashion show be replaced with a hour-long discussion with the theme, "We don't have to take our clothes off, to have a good time?"

I ask, because in this news story, the company's CEO said the brand has become, "too sexy."

"We've so much gotten off our heritage ... too sexy, and we use the word sexy a lot and really have forgotten the ultrafeminine," Sharen Turney, Victoria's Secret's chief executive, told analysts on a conference call.

What!?!?!?!
