Kanye West: Your Mama Wouldn't Be So Proud

HerBadMother — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 01:01:00 GMT

So Kanye West recently took advantage of the anniversary of his mother's death to promote his new album and talk about how lonely it is being a megastar and about how he'd really love to have kids soon so that he wouldn't be so lonely, you know, alone with his music and his awesomeness and maybe one or two hos.

Then he decided to take out his loneliness on some stray British paparazzo by swearing at him and smacking him around a bit. Which got him arrested and thrown in jail where, presumably, life was a little less lonely for an hour or two. Then he was released without charge and went straight home and blogged about how it was all self-defense and why doesn't everybody understand how hard it is to be a lonely, hunted mega-celebrity?

Seriously, dude. It's terrible and all about your mom, and I'm sure it's hard to have photographers trailing you and reminding you, constantly, of how epically famous you are, but really: your douchebaggery has a tendency to blot out whatever sympathies you might arouse. Going on all Sean Penn on some pap and then whining about it doesn't help matters. Get over yourself. And maybe hold off on bringing children into your lifeworld until you get around to doing a little growing up yourself.

Michelle Malkin Terrorizes Rachael Ray

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:50:00 GMT

I hate to give conservative gasbag idiot Michelle Malkin any more attention than she deserves, but this one takes the cake (or the glazed, whichever you prefer.) Malkin, who appears to have way too much time on her hands and spends her days watching online ads for donut shops, has cased Dunkin' Donuts to remove one of their ads featuring Rachael Ray because Malkin says it promotes terrorism.

In the ad, spokesperson Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin says resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is "popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos."

In the same column, Malkin also takes on actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, saying they have been photographed in similar scarves that were "distinctive hate couture."

Let it be noted that Malkin is vehemently opposed to immigration, is for racial profiling and says the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was a good thing.

Malkin might want to spend a little less time obsessing over accessories worn by rappers and spokespeople for fast food, and more time teaching her kids not to hate.

Hate couture, indeed. Michelle Malkin should know - she's swathed in it.

50 Cent Defends 'Fat' Eminem

HerBadMother — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:01:00 GMT

50 Cent says that people should stop dissing Eminem for his supposed weight gain. Because, you know, it's not nice, and also, because Em's in shape now and will kick your ass.

According to MTV.com, 50 laughed off (in a recent MTV interview) recent rumors that Em — who has all but disappeared from the public eye in recent years — has been packing on the pounds, and that as a result of his weight gain, has become a recluse, venturing out of his Detroit-area mansion only to gorge himself on meals from Taco Bell and Outback Steakhouse. The G-Unit captain insisted that fans are going to be seeing a slim-and-trim Eminem real soon.

"Em is in shape right now. He looks good. I seen him in Detroit. He's gonna look real good when you see him return," Fif laughed. "He's in shape right now."

Rumors started circulating that Eminem was looking like a middle-aged dad (which, um, he is, depending upon how you define 'middle-age') earlier this year when Eminem was admitted to a Detroit hospital for complications arising from pneumonia and it was reported that he weighed over 200 lbs (the approximate weight of a 5 foot 8 nine-month pregnant woman *cough*)

But Fiddy says whatever weight Eminem might have gained in his sabbatical from his previously high-profile life, it's gone now. According to him, Eminem is in fine ballin' form: "The last time I seen him we played basketball together," 50 said. Which, awesome. Fiddy sounds like a great lifestyle coach and personal trainer.

I wonder if he takes post-partum clients?

Forget Cosmetic Surgery: DIY Butt-Lifts Are Easy

HerBadMother — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:23:00 GMT

Scared of cosmetic surgery fixes for flabby bods? Want some awesome advice for keeping that post-partum bod looking toned and perky - even when it's not? Next month's Fitness Magazine reveals celebrity DIY tips for getting your ass back after it's been ravaged by time and babies. Like magic!

The secret? Push-up jeans.

"I buy jeans that are tight in the rear end. I'm not kidding," Kelly Ripa tells Fitness magazine in its December/January issue. "I treat my cheeks like breasts in a push-up bra. I just reach down in there, lift them up and push them together. And they'll stay put if the jeans are tight enough in the seat."

That's great and all, but what about the muffin-top? If I lifted up my butt cheeks, it would push the tummy roll further up. And if the jeans are tight, the tummy roll just spills over. What we do about that, Kelly? Hmm? What's that? You don't have a tummy roll? I thought not.

Tummy roll or no, I can't begrudge her the advice. Push-up jeans are a much cheaper - and safer - bet than butt lifts or tucks or any other surgery of the cosmetic kind. Maybe I'll just do some crunches and consider the denim-lift after all. What's a little muffin top between friends?

Britney Spears at the VMAs: Finally, Sean and Jayden Get To See What Mommy Does For a Living

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:50:00 GMT

Unless you've been living under a rock you know by now that Britney Spears is set to open the MTV Video Music Awards tonight in Vegas. Not that Kanye West gives a crap. No matter - Britney's been hanging out with new BFF Diddy. Talk about being a bad influence! I'm talking about Britney, not Diddy.

I'm going to break rank here and actually wish Britney well tonight. While sons Sean and Jayden are knocking back Cokes and watching the show with their nannies, I hope Britney gets up on stage with a decent weave, keeps her clothes on and lip-synchs her heart out. At least her kids will know that mommy gets paid for something other than going out for coffee and flashing her muffin.
