From BCK:

Wanda Sykes shared the first picture of her one-month-old twins, Olivia Lou and Lucas Claude, on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

The comedienne and her wife, Alex, welcomed the twins on April 27th but Wanda jokes that the twins came out later than expected.

“Babies are very inconsiderate. Everyone said twins, so they should be there maybe after 35 weeks… [but then], nothing. Just sitting around waiting. I was like, ‘Babies, you gotta hurry up and get here, I have a big White House correspondents’ gig coming up! I got a gig, baby!’”

Wanda was able to make it to her “White House gig” and she was also able to make it to the delivery room when the twins were born.

“I was there,” she said. “I was hands on and you know, when the doctors tell you ‘Don’t look this way?’ Don’t look that way!”

Wanda says that her wife-they married in in California on October 25th of last year- breastfeeds and she handles “ everything that comes out.”

She's so funny! And her babies are gorgeous... congrats!

Jenny McCarthy's Family Left Reeling After Proposal

trix — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:32:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are a couple of pranksters. Jenny McCarthy visited "Ellen" and told of the consequences of a joke she and Jim played on Ellen's audience last year.

She said, "Jim's entire Canadian relatives (didn't know), nor did any of my friends, and even my mom (said), 'For Pete's sake, Jenny, you didn't even tell me.' I'm like, 'Mom, the bell's went off - it was a joke. We had to do damage control the rest of the day."

She said that she was even overcome with emotion, "I really started crying because I was like, 'Oh my God, look how sweet he is right now.'"

I bet that was a lot of follow up that day. That's like saying your pregnant as a joke, everybody taking it seriously, and then having to take it back.

OOPS! Sorry!

Jenny McCarthy Weighed 200 Pounds?

trix — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:04:00 GMT

I've been hearing a lot about Jenny McCarthy lately and it's not controversial feuding over autism treatments, it's all about her looks again. She looks fantastic on the cover of shape magazine and I really dig her swimsuit, I bet it takes a couple minutes to get it just right.

Jenny McCarthy says she used to weigh 200 pounds, but that's not really fair to say because, she might have weighed 200 but that was right after she delivered her son.

“I thought I might be 170 when I left the hospital, but no, I was 200!” the 5′6″ Jenny tells Shape. “When my son, Evan, was born, I dialed back that whole sex-kitten thing.” She joined Weight Watchers in her battle against the bulk, a program she credits with teaching her “portion control and to be conscious of what I put in my mouth.”

It is such a battle when it's not easy to lose the baby weight, especially if you are battling PPD, like me, or don't have a million dollars to spend on a private chef and trainer to make you food and get your butt out of bed to make you work out.

Was it easy for you to lose the baby weight or did you really have to work at it like Jenny did?

*note*

Every time I do a post about losing baby weight I always get a zillion comments about how easy it was for them to lose the weight, I appreciate those comments, but would also like to hear from those that had a difficute time or are still trying to lose it.

Jenny McCarthy Slaves Over Her Looks

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:03:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy has always seemed like such an honest chick. She was herself on "Singled Out" and in the books she's written on motherhood. She's also been very honest about her passion about her sons autism. She feels that she should be honest about the things she does to keep her look.

She told Michigan Avenue, a society magazine, that her honesty shocked her fans, "People were surprised I was so open about (it) but when people see everyone in Hollywood, they look up to them and I think everyone should be honest about what they're doing."

She does say that she uses Botox sparingly. "A lot of doctors will do it so people are frozen... but you wanna still be able to have wrinkles... The key is just a little and it's really hard to find a doctor to only put a little bit in. I'm not promoting it, but anything that makes people feel good..."

Well, there you go, everything in moderation and you can look just like her.

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.

Joel McHale Grateful for Son's Full Recovery

Karl Erikson — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:38:00 GMT

Host of E!'s "The Soup" Joel McHale regularly works for the laughs, but he wasn't laughing when it came to the open heart surgery done on his son, Edward Roy, 3-1/2, while he was just a newborn.

"Very surreal," Joel says, "Eddie had two holes in the wall of his heart which surgeons needed to close, but Joel says that the situation could have easily been much worse. Even though open heart surgery is obviously major, major surgery, Eddie’s problem was nothing compared to when a surgeon has to deal with the valves and veins of the heart," he explains.

"Multiple surgeries are required for those, and it can affect quality of life and life-span." It was a bit of a miracle that Eddie survived the procedure with no ill effects. Joel and wife Sarah are very grateful.

"We spent about a week in Los Angeles Children’s Hospital (the greatest hospital in the world)," says Joel. "We were on the floor with all the other children who were recovering from much more serious surgeries. We realized quickly that Eddie’s problem paled in comparison to some of those kids. We were so lucky because we had an end to the dark tunnel that was his problem, but for those other kids, it can be a life-long struggle, or worse. They are so strong and brave."

Joel says every parent should be grateful to God for the gift of their child's health.

Joel and Sarah are also parents to 9-month-old Isaac Hayden.

Jenny McCarthy is Worth $50 Million

trix — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:30:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy is set for life.

Of course she is, but her boyfriend Jim Carrey wants to make sure that she is financially secure for the rest of her life.

Why oh why doesn't someone do that for me? I'm lovable and cute.

Jim Carrey is setting up a trust fund worth a reported $50 million. The reason, "He adores her and credits her with his better health and happier outlook on life. (He) wants her to have all the perks in life should anything happen to him."

I guess I'd take $50 million as a sign of commitment instead of a ring, but only if I really loved someone. I'm not a gold digger.

Celebrity Statement: I Couldn't Bear Having An Ugly Child

Sassy Smith — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:07:00 GMT

Seriously, who avoids having children because they think they might have an ugly child? One actor is worried that he'll have an unattractive baby, so he's probably never going to be a father (let's hope he's kidding). Who?

Find out after the jump!

English comedian and actor Mathew Horne, 30, says he won't have kids.

"I couldn't bear having an ugly child.

"I'd have to be absolutely 100 per cent sure that the girl I had a child with was good looking enough. I couldn't put up with anything else.

"I'd have to do a lot of research first to check that the didn't have ugly genes, but I don't think that would go down very well."

The Gavin and Stacey star, says he's too selfish to have a kid anyway.

"I've got too much to do looking after myself. I don't know how I'd possbily look after another person.

"I'm far too selfish to have a child - I just couldn't do it."

Amanda Peet and the Missing Lovey

trix — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:32:00 GMT

Amanda Peet is a traveler, as is her daughter. She told Ellen Degeneres that she pretty much brought Frances' whole world with them anytime they went somewhere.

Amanda would take all kinds of stuffed animals with them to see which one Frances would get attached to. She got attached to a cow, and then Amanda had to ask someone for a gift back- a twin of said cow, so that they could placate Frances when said cow got lost. They now have two cows, one for now and one in hiding. You know just in case cow # 1 has to be washed or repaired.

Ha, we all know how well this works. It works like a charm until the beloved toy gets lost and is out of production. How pathetic have we become when we scramble all over creation trying to find the toy.

I made that mistake with pacifiers. Thank goodness we finally got our youngest off the dummy. What a lifesaver and nightmare, all in one tiny little package you can buy at Target.

What kind of dad is Bill?

"...I am a superhero - with jokes and a teaspoon of goofy."

What is daughter Bailey like?

"Bailey is a Leo with definite opinions about everything, especially her wardrobe. She's just come out of a, 'skirt only' phase..."

How are they raising their kids?

"We teach them to be loving, compassionate, and kind to everyone."

I love Bill Bellamy, he's so funny!

Jim Carrey Can't Say No to Jenny or Evan

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."

Whose Smiley Little Kid Is This?

Can you tell whose kid this is with out his celebrity parent nearby? I could not, but I'll give you a hint. He is the topic of some controversial statements for and against a cause.

It's Evan, Jenny McCarthy's son. The autism he has or has been cured of, is the topic of barbs thrown back and forth between Jenny McCarthy and Amanda Peet.

However none of that was evident at the "Backyardigans Live!" Breakfast Benefit For Malaria No More.

I bet they had fun. We love the Backyardigns at our house, sometimes Tasha is so bossy though.

Caroline Rhea Welcomes a Daughter with the Longest Last Name in the World

It's a little Rhea of sunshine for Caroline Rhea and boyfriend Costaki Economopoulos. Ah, a nice Irish boy. I think he's making that name up. But no matter, what's important is that the couple have a brand new baby daughter. Little Ava Rhea Economopoulos was born Monday, coming it at 8 lbs, 15 oz and measuring 22-1/2 inches long. That's a big girl!

Caroline and Costaki said they wanted to minimize the damage of Ava's last name. "We wanted the shortest first name possible," Caroline says, "since her last name is the entire alphabet. It was either Ava or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."

She's still got it. Caroline, a comic actress known mostly for the wacky aunt on "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch," now stars in the Logo Network series, "Sordid Lives."

Congrats to Caroline and Costaki. Just please don't make me type that last name again.

DWTS Brooke Burke Dances Despite Injury!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:09:00 GMT

Celebrity mom of four, Brooke Burke, who has been looking fabulous on Dancing With The Stars, suffered an injury during a rehearsal Sunday afternoon. A camera had come down hard on her right foot while doing a front flip during her dance routine. She iced the injury and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Monday morning as a precaution. She suffered a contusion but that didn't keep her from dancing Monday night!

Brooke, despite being bruised, did a fantastic job and nabbed the top score on DWTS for the seventh straight week! Burke and her partner, Derek Hough performed Don't Be Cruel and scored 29 out of a possible 30 points from judges. It was the highest score yet!

I guess chasing all those kids around has helped keep her fit and limber!

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."

Jenny McCarthy Hits Back At Amanda Peet On Vaccine Issue

trix — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:29:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy struck out at Amanda Peet in an interview in the October/November issue of Spectrum magazine.

Why, because Amanda Peet called parents that don't vaccinate their kids parasites.

Amanda has apologized for her comments, but Jenny has taken the label of parasite and is wearing it like a badge. She's is defending the autism community and says, "she has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong.''

According to Autism United C/O Big Apple Communications, "Jenny [is] a mother of a recovered autistic child has recently led a rally of thousands with Jim Carrey in Washington DC, this past summer, calling for the Federal Government to clean vaccines of all toxins and to change a loaded schedule that leads to the cause of autism. There are over 5000 cases of parents suing the government for improper immunization of children.

Doctors across the the nation are going after Jenny McCarthy's crusade. According to Spectrum, The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) put a nationwide casting call looking for a spokesperson to combat Jenny. Jenny has been gaining world wide media attention fighting against what she deems, unsafe vaccines. Amanda Peet agreed to be a spokesperson for Ever Child By Two (ECBT) because she was concerned about the information circulating throughout Hollywood .

According to Jenny "Until she walks in our shoes she has no idea?? referring to Amanda Peet. She also says that the AAP "sucks".

National Autism Advocacy Group, Autism United, is calling for a boycott of all of Amanda Peet's movies. "We want to send a clear message to her," says Executive Director, John Gilmore. "Our community will not support the continued misinformation that is funneled into the media by organizations like ECBT and the AAP. We are not against vaccines, rather we are for safe vaccines. Until they understand that, we won't back down. Ms. Peet's comments are deplorable and an apology will not suffice. We applaud Jenny McCarthy's continued efforts and for speaking up for our community.""

What do you think?
