Jenny McCarthy: My Son Is Cured of Autism

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:05:00 GMT

In the current issue of US Weekly, Jenny McCarthy talks about helping her son Evan recover from autism, which she says was caused by the MMR vaccine. "Before the vaccination, he was huggy, lovey, snuggly," she says. "Then it was like someone came down and stole him."

McCarthy believes that a strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet is what cured her son. She recounts the moment she first saw him coming out of his shell, while he was watching an episode of SpongeBob. "I heard Evan laugh...I jumped on the bed and started screaming. When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.'"

The actress, who is dating Jim Carrey, has long been an outspoken advocate for autism awareness. But she's not without her detractors; She has been criticized by the American Academy of Pediatrics for her 'autism cure' claims and doctors have accused her of causing fear of necessary vaccines.

Of course, after seeing this issue of US Weekly, I think the one question on everyone's lips will be: Why the hell did Jen take John back?

Jenny McCarthy Blasts Michael Savage For Autism Attack

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:32:00 GMT

Michael Savage: You've been served. Jenny McCarthy is calling the shock jock out for his inflammatory remarks on autism.

“I’ll tell you what autism is — it’s a brat that hasn’t been told to cut the act out,” Savage said two weeks ago. McCarthy, whose son Evan is autistic, was infuriated by Savage's words and is speaking out now.

“You know, I immediately get the news the second anything happens. I read it and had to sit down and kind of breathe a little bit,” McCarthy said. “The media drove me crazy that day wanting comments and I didn’t want to give any more attention to that jerk.

“It’s really about showboating ignorance really,” she said. “I kind of took the high road and kept talking about healing, prevention."

In fact, McCarthy invited Savage to a smackdown to teach him a lesson. “And if he would like, (he can) join me in the ring sometime on the WWE. I’ll show you what I really think." McCarthy was referring to her appearance last night with John Cena on Saturday Night's Main Event, in which she teamed up with the WWE to raise awareness of autism.

I don't think Savage had the balls to show up, but he's taken some blows in other ways: advertisers pulled ads from his popular radio show and there have been demands for his termination.

Green Our Vaccines: Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Get Political

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:29:00 GMT

Who says it ain't easy bein' green? Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy flexed their political muscles today as they marched on Washington in support of Green Our Vaccines, an organization that seeks to raise awareness about toxins in childhood vaccines.

Carrey led 8,500 people through the streets of Washington, D.C., Wednesday, along with his daughter Jane and McCarthy and her son Evan. Of Evan, Carrey said, "He taught me how to love. And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit."

Carrey was equally gushing about girlfriend McCarthy when he spoke to the families, lawmakers and other activists that had gathered for the rally, saying that she was "the source of all that is good" in his life.

Wow - political activism and public declarations of love all in the same day. Celebrities really are more productive than the rest of us. I only managed to shower and go to Starbucks today.

Jenny McCarthy Says Vaccines Cause Autism

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:05:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy was interviewed by an NBC affiliate on Monday, and the actress/ex-Playboy Playmate/Jim Carrey's girlfriend was outspoken in her opinion that childhood vaccines cause autism. McCarthy, whose son Evan, 5, was diagnosed at the age of two, says she isn't necessarily anti-vaccine, but anti toxin. "Take the crap out. Get rid of the ether, the antifreeze, the mercury, the aluminum," she said. "They're just cheap preservatives. I'd pay four times as much for a clean vaccine!"

Although Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said ingredients in vaccines have never been proven to cause autism, McCarthy argues that they contain neurotoxins that, along with many other ingredients actually "trigger" autism in susceptible children.

Expect punches to be thrown (figuratively, I hope) on both sides of this issue. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of autism and I've always been pro-vaccine, but the possibility that antifreeze may have been an ingredient? Slightly alarming.

How Teri Hatcher Plans to Steal Christmas

Whit Honea — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 23:39:00 GMT

Teri Hatcher held up a copy of Dr. Seuss' classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The obvious joke here is to compare Teri and the Grinch, but despite the obvious physical similarities I'm going to take the high road. You see, my heart just grew roughly two sizes and I'm really not feeling mean right now.

Besides, despite her being on "Desperate Housewives" she's actually done some good television. Who can forget her stint as Lois Lane on TV's "Superman" (Dean Cain version)? Then there is my favorite, her role as Nina on "Just Shoot Me." She was great.

Emerson knows what I'm talking about.

Jim Carrey Speaks Out Against Myanmar, Does Not Use Butt Cheeks

HerBadMother — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 17:02:00 GMT

Does Jim Carrey even know where Myanmar is? Sorry, but it's kinda hard to take Jim "Dumb and Dumber" Carrey seriously. And that picture looks like an outtake from some twisted Farrelly Bros. movie set in occupied Burma ("Me, Myself, and Than Shwe"?)

Anyway. It looks like his flirtation with fatherhood - step-fatherhood that is, to girlfriend Jenny McCarthy's young son - has given him a social conscience. Which is great and all, but still - it's a bit jarring to read his appeal to the military dictatorship to end its brutal suppression of pro-democracy protesters and its detention of opposition leader Aung Sung Suu Kyi and then read "Carrey is best known for his comic roles in movies like "Dumb and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." Who can forget, after all, that Jim has delivered his most memorable speeches while puppeting his butt cheeks? Kinda diminishes the gravitas of the situation here.

Who knows, though? Maybe military dictator Than Shwe saw "The Cable Guy." Then he'd know who he's messing with.

Jim Carrey, Jenny McCarthy and Evan's Cool Truck

Whit Honea — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 17:06:00 GMT

They say that couples start to resemble each other. I don't know if that's true, but Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey look like they've been sharing the same bowl when they get their hair cut.

Evan, not to be lumped into that, has opted for the hat. Smart move, it was hot yesterday.

Jenny McCarthy's Maiden Voyage

Jenny McCarthy and her son, Evan, actually waited and rode the new Disneyland ride, Nemo's Submarine Voyage, with all of the little people. Specifically her son.

I don't know who took these photos, but let's pretend it was her boyfriend Jim Carrey. See, that's fun.
