Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey Keep The "Sizzle" In Their Romance!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actors Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey know how to keep the "sizzle" in their romance! Although the couple have no plans to marry, they are absolutely committed to one another and like to keep things exciting. So, how do these two keep it fresh and fun?

A friend says that Jenny and Jim like to hang out together in the buff! Luckily, their lifestyle affords them the freedom to take romantic holidays without kids - all parents need a break from time to time.

During a recent trip to Hawaii, the lovebirds spent $25,000 on a rented beachfront villa - it was very private, allowing them to have some "couple" time.

The pal said, "Of course they are dressed in public. But when they're alone, they prefer to be nude much of the time!"

It's cool that these two keep their relationship a priority - it makes for better parenting. Happy parents, happy kids!

Jenny and Jim have been together for three years, and Jim has taken to Jenny's son Evan, 6, who is autistic.

Carrey said Evan has taught him to love deeper.

"I'm a guy who's used to getting people's attention when I want it, and I'm pretty good with kids, so it was a bit difficult and hard not to take it personally when I tried my best to play with him. He was focused on something else, and I could have been on fire in the room, and he wouldn't have noticed me."

But, over time, Jim and Evan bonded and now they're inseperable. Jim is also dad to daughter Jane, 21.

Sounds like they're a tight-knit family.

Jim Carrey Can't Say No to Jenny or Evan

Karl Erikson — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:31:00 GMT

Jim Carrey has a new movie coming out this month: "Yes Man." And he's a yes man in real life, too, when it comes to his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy and her son, Evan. "I'm a pushover, absolutely," says Jim. At the London premiere of the new comedy, he says that he just can't say no to most things.

Evan, 6, is autistic and Jim and Jenny stand by him no matter what. They're often seen participating in fundraising events to raise awareness of the disease. But standing united doesn't include marriage. Jim, 46, says that the craziest thing he's ever said "Yes" to: "I've been married twice."

Denis Leary: Autism Means Your Kid Is Stupid and Lazy

Sassy Smith — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:10:00 GMT

Comedian (I say that term loosely) Denis Leary has written a new book titled Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Sounds like a good read. I'm sure he's going to get some fan mail because of it, and by fan mail, I mean hate mail. Why? In his book, he says that children diagnosed with autism, are in fact not autistic - it actually means they're stupid and/or lazy. Oh boy.

This is what Leary wrote:

"There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can't compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks.... to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don't give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both."

The Autism Society of America wrote in response:

"For Mr. Leary to suggest that families or doctors conspire to falsely diagnose autism is ridiculous... [His] remarks reflect the same misconceptions of autism being caused by bad or unemotional parenting that were held over 50 years ago."

You know, it takes a lot to offend me. I can take harsh humor, black comedy, and sarcasm with the best of them, but I'm sorry, is that snippet from his book, supposed to be funny? Is that the best he can come up with? That's witty?

As a mother of a special needs child (who, without going into a ten page explanation of his diagnosis, does display characteristics associated with the autism spectrum), I find Denis Leary's comments offensive. I'm not an inattentive, bad mother who shoved her kid at a shrink because I thought he was too stupid to join in with the other children, or whatever the hell it is Leary's trying to say. It's narrow-minded individuals such as Leary who make it hard for us parents of children with special challenges to get the help we need sometimes, and to make others realize, that what we live is real and not something we caused by being "inattentive," or "competitve."

I'm sure Mr. Leary's book will be a big seller, seeing as the 51-year-old is about as relevant as his washed-up comedy is.

Bite me Denis Leary.

Jim Carrey Says Jenny McCarthy's Son Taught Him a Deeper Love

Karl Erikson — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Jim Carrey recently spoke about learning to deal with Jenny McCarthy's autistic son. Carrey talked to Oprah Winfrey about Evan Joseph, 6. The challenges of dealing with an autistic child are myriad, especially when that child is the son of your girlfriend.

When Jim and Jenny first started dating in 2006, Evan was totally non-verbal, refusing any eye contact. "I'm a guy who's used to getting people's attention when I want it," Jim said, "and I'm pretty good with kids, so it was a bit difficult and hard not to take it personally when I tried my best to play with him. He was focused on something else, and I could have been on fire in the room, and he wouldn't have noticed me."

Jim kept at it, though, and says that autistic kids "show us how to go somewhere deeper as far as loving." Now, Evan and Jim are very close. "It's like Star Wars impressions back and forth all day long."

Jenny McCarthy has a new book out about her experiences with autism called "Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds."

She says, "I know why God gave me Evan. He is a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to the world. It made me who I am today."

Although Jenny, 35, and Jim are close and she's even referred to him as 'the Austism Whisperer' (her son is autistic), they will probably never marry. The 46-year-old actor told Britain's Daily Star, "There won't be any marriage. I think getting married is great and everyone should do it. But once you've done it twice you should stop doing it."

Celebrity Dads Raising Money For Autism

Sassy Smith — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:10:00 GMT

I love this - celebrity dads (and some moms too!), who used their comedic talent to raise money for autism. Who was there to help raise awareness?

Last Sunday night, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Chris Rock joined funnymen forces and took to the stage at New York's Beacon Theatre for "A Night Of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert For Autism Education."

The show was hosted by Jon Stewart and was broadcast live on cable network Comedy Central and featured other talents, such as: Matthew Broderick, Susan Sarandon, Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler and talk show icon Conan O'Brien.

Matthew Broderick said, "It's fun to be here. I'm a fan of 94 per cent of the performers. I'm always a little nervous. I hope it goes well."

They did a show in 2006 and raised almost $ 3 million!

Keep up the good work!

Jenny McCarthy's Autism Cure?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 21:03:00 GMT

Actress Jenny McCarthy's five-year old son Evan is autistic and recently Jenny has been quite vocal about the alternative "autism treatments," that may lead to a cure for autism. Of course there is a wide autism spectrum and it falls under the "unknown" and there are not many conventional treatments as of yet. What may work for one child, may not work for another - and a lot of the treatments are experimental at this point in time. McCarthy, at the very least, wants the medical community to consider the benefits of treating autistic children with diet and vitamins.

She says, “I’ve been speaking to moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing: ‘This (diet and supplement intake) is working. It’s so heartbreaking to see the medical community not support something called diet and vitamins. And it pains us, city after city after city. I see this heartbreak on these mom’s faces. Autism isn’t covered by (medical) insurance. If things like diets and supplements are working, then why not support it? These kids are getting better and I will not shut up and will not stop fighting about it.”

Jenny often gets flack for her beliefs, particularly from people who don't deal with autism on a daily basis. She might be unconventional in her techniques, but she travels the country in her quest to find answers. She speaks to audiences about her experiences, has written a bestselling book "Louder Than Words," makes headlines, raises money for the cause and continues to help parents, who may otherwise not have hope. She at least gives them that. Sometimes a parent with a special needs child is looking for just a small ray of hope to keep them pushing forward. I should know.

My Womb Is Closed - Jenny McCarthy Dishes

Jenny McCarthy has been busy making the rounds, promoting the second season of the web series "In Motherhood" with Chelsea Handler. She discussed her future plans as far as family is concerned - no marriage or more children for her and current love, Jim Carrey.

McCarthy said, "This womb is closed." Ha, love it!

The 35-year-old actress is content with her current relationship and doesn't feel the need to "make it legal." She said, "He [Jim] is the light of my life and we're more in love now than we have been in our entire relationship. We're living together, we don't want any more children and we're very happy - all that's going to be is a piece of paper, really. What is it a guarantee of? I'll be yours forever? I'll be faithful? Bull!"

She's right - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or something like that.

Jordan's Big Boobs In Plaster

Sassy Smith — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:33:00 GMT

Ever stuck for an idea to give your significant other for Valentine's Day? Well here's one: Do what Jordan (aka Katie Price) is doing - putting her boobs in plaster for her man.

Jordan is planning to give her husband Peter Andre a plaster cast of her body for sweetheart's day. Aww nothin' says love like a mould of your naughty bits. It's only going to cost her about $36,000. But really, can you put a price on love?

Katie said it'll be a great way for her Peter to "get close to her curves" when she's not home. Excuse me? He's going to be intimate with plaster? Um, creepy.

She said it could cause a bit of "row." "We'll argue about where to put it." How about the bedroom? Since Peter might get close to it while you're away.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey Host Autism Benefit

Karen — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 21:05:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy and boyfriend (and great communicator) Jim Carrey hosted a cocktail party to support UCLA Early Childhood Partial Hospitalization Program in Pacific Palisades, California on Thursday. The program provides support for children with autism, a condition that Jenny's 5 year old son has.

Jenny has become quite a spokesperson for Autism, but critics lashed out after her recent interview with Oprah Winfrey whereby she may have mislead parents of Autistic children into thinking they're children could be "pulled out out of their world," by connecting with them and monitoring a special diet. For many, it's not that simple.

Travolta Admits His Family is Weird

Whit Honea — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 11:02:00 GMT

John Travolta tells his secrets for avoiding the paparazzi in a new interview with Parade Magazine, due out this coming Sunday. He says that he and his family have taken to living life at off hours. He must be under the assumption that the paparazzi don't read Parade (he's probably right).

"We're like the Addams family or the Munsters, living sort of an odd, nocturnal life... my kids probably stay up too late. My wife goes to bed around three, and I follow around seven," he said in an interview conducted at 2 in the morning, which is way after most Parade readers go to bed.

"Right now, there's just you and me, and no one interfering in our space," he said.

Of course he meant outer space, but that's a given.

Jenny McCarthy's Crazy is Better than Travolta's

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 11:29:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy, whom I've seen naked, and her son Evan were seen catching a flight at LAX. Evan, who is autistic, was the inspiration for McCarthy writing a book on the subject.

This doesn't bode well for her Scientologist friends that were trying to bring her into the fold. They like to pretend autism doesn't exist. Besides, Jenny has her own crazy.
