Nadya Suleman and the Octuplets - Their Story

Whit Honea — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:04:00 GMT

First of all, yes, we're famous. Our very own Sassy Smith and her story on Nadya Suleman's alleged obsession with Angelina Jolie was plastered all over "NBC Dateline" last night. You can tell your friends you know us.

The fact that NBC was able to narrow it down is pretty impressive seeing as we have more stories about Suleman than on Britney and Obama combined -- although a story on Britney and Obama combined would be a sure hit. We have so many Octuplet posts that we decided to put them all in one place for your convience. We're famous, but we haven't forgotten you.

Here is the story of the octuplets and their mom (in chronologicalish order):

Tonight on NBC's "Dateline" Ann Curry interviewed the mom of the hour Nadya Suleman about her 14 kids -- eight of them just a few days old, and the negative publicity that she has been receiving in the media. Word is that they even featured this very website at one point.

Jenna and Barbara Bush: Letter to Malia and Sasha Obama

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:05:00 GMT

In a gesture similar to the White House tradition of the outgoing president penning a note to the incoming Chief of Staff, former First Daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush have written their own letter to Sasha and Malia Obama. Beginning with their years as granddaughters to then President George H.W. Bush ("We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children"), Jenna and Barbara dish out some worldly advice to 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha.

Here are some excerpts:

Surround yourself with loyal friends. They'll protect and calm you and join in on some of the fun, and appreciate the history.

Speaking of long-time White House ushers: If you ever need a hug, go find Ramsey. If you want to talk football, look for Buddy. And, if you just need a smile, look for "Smiley."

Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.

When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.

In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, State Dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments. Just go. Four years goes by so fast, so absorb it all, enjoy it all!

This Christmas, with the enchanting smell of the holidays encompassing her halls, we will again be saying our good-byes to the White House. Sasha and Malia, it is your turn now to fill the White House with laughter.

In closing, Jenna and Barbara give perhaps their most valuable advice of all:

Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: remember who your dad really is.

You can read the entire letter here.

Obama Retakes Oath, Just to Make Sure

Whit Honea — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:22:00 GMT

Perhaps you recall a bit of a flub during the official oath of President Barack Obama at the inauguration yesterday. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath for a second time today- just to make sure everything is nice and legit.

Roberts had a bit of the twisted tongue on Tuesday with the 35-word constitutionally required oath.

According to White House counsel Greg Craig, ""We believe that the oath of office was administered effectively and that the President was sworn in appropriately yesterday. But the oath appears in the Constitution itself. And out of an abundance of caution, because there was one word out of sequence, Chief Justice Roberts administered the oath a second time."

This time there weren't millions of people or songs, prayers or poems. The eyes of the fashion world weren't on the First Family (don't worry, girls, your daddy is still the big cheese) and no speeches were made. The second oath was handled privately, just two men- Chief Justice Roberts and President Obama in the Map Room (with the candlestick, sorry I couldn't resist).

No Jonas Brothers were involved.

Smile! Malia Obama Takes Her Best Shot (And You Can Own Her Camera!)

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:05:00 GMT

Here's Malia Obama taking a picture of her dad, President Barack Obama, as he was taking the oath of office on Tuesday. I'm already huge fans of the First Daughters, Malia and her little sister Sasha. In fact, I'm going to make a call to the Oval Office and see if I can set up a playdate with my daughters. My girls have already decided it should be over at their place; for some reason they're convinced that the Obamas have a bigger TV.

As you may have noticed, Malia is an aspiring photographer - one of my favorite moments during the inauguration was when she handed her camera to Joe Biden to take a picture of the crowd for her. I was wondering if she was going to take a look at it, hand it back to Joe and say, "Sorry, but can you take it over? That one guy is blinking."

In case you're wondering, Malia uses a Kodak EasyShare M893 Digital Camera. Be prepared for this to become a huge seller.

Dear Obama: Success Is An Inside Job

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:25:00 GMT

On the day of his inauguration as 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama received this message: love your wife, play with your daughters, BE HAPPY. Oh, and don't buy too many cars.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. Not to mention your brave and precious grandmother.* And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: it is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is only what so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, but this is because it is not clear to them yet that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.

That's from Alice Walker. She's awesome. We should all take her words to heart, because everything she says is within the reach of all of us.

Obamaland - The Happiest Place on Earth?

Perhaps you heard that the United States of America has a new president. It's a thing we do.

The concerts, balls, speeches and parades are over- well, maybe not the speeches, and today President Obama starts putting his money where his mouth is. Or our money, as the case may be.

There has been much written on the Obama family over the past few days and it might be a bit overwhelming. Here, for you convenience, is an easy to navigate collection of posts, photos and videos:

Nelly Crushing on Ashley Biden

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:05:00 GMT

Nelly is telling Ashley Biden that it's hot in herre, so take off all your clothes. Okay, I know I just used that joke in a previous post, but what other Nelly song would make sense here?

The rapper was performing with Ludacris and DMC at the "Artists Making an Impact" Inaugural event when he reportedly said of new VP Joe Biden's daughter, "She's hot...gonna be a party in the White House." And by party, I don't think he was talking about a luncheon with a piñata.

Which would be fine, except Nelly is supposedly expecting a baby with Ashanti. Oops.

He might want to cool it with Ashley - by the looks of the Secret Service that was out in force on Tuesday, he might be outnumbered.

Rockin' The Fashion: JLo's Skinny Jeans & Heels

Jennifer Lopez had some retail therapy on Tuesday, hitting up Roche-Bobois furniture store in West Hollywood. JLo was rockin' her skinny jeans and majorly high heels - when I say high heels, I mean high.

Jennifer had fun ordering high-end items, including stuff for her twins, Max and Emme. I bet those babies aren't spoiled!

JLo: I Had A Nervous Breakdown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:04:00 GMT

When we think of celebrities, we often think that their lives are perfect (or close to it), but that's certainly not always the case. Jennifer Lopez opens up for the first time, about suffering a nervous breakdown seven years ago. "I was like - I don't want to move. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything. I had a nervous breakdown."

Jennifer spoke with The Daily Beast:

The 39-year-old actress and singer was filming the movie Enough, and it was just before she married her second husband, Cris Judd, when she "froze," and didn't want to do anything.

"There were no signs leading up to it. You really don't know what's happening at first. I was going, what's going on? It's funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn't want people to think I was falling apart

"I don't get nervous. I don't get depressed. Blah, blah, blah…There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up on a set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie Enough [in 2002]. Yeah. I did. I had a nervous breakdown."

Lopez blames stress and overwork for her mental exhaustion. She refused medication and chose to rest until she felt better. She'd never been to a shrink, said she's, "not a shrinky person."

However, the new mom of twins didn't experience PPD after their birth, although people had "prepped" her for it.

"People kept prepping me for it, but it didn't happen. At the tenth day after giving birth all that chemical stuff did peak - that hormone thing - and I did cry a lot that day because I was having so much trouble moving (after her caesarean section)."

JLo also talks about Scientology - her father David has been involved in the religion for over 20 years. She previously denied being a member of the religion but said she was "bothered by people's negative attitude towards it.

"I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is." She said she wouldn't be opposed to her children attending a Scientology school.

What about her "diva" image?

Lopez says, "Once you have a lot of success you become a target in many ways. I just think the whole diva thing is a misreprestation of who I am. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things. And still even with that they find stuff to pick on."

Jennifer Lopez Sending Twins to Scientology School?

Karl Erikson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:37:00 GMT

At the Elle Magazine 15th Annual "Women in Hollywood" Tribute, 39-year-old Jennifer Lopez talked about schooling her 7-month-old twins, Max and Emme. Specifically, she was asked whether she'd sent her twins to a Scientology school.

Jen's response? "Yeah, I wouldn't mind, not at all. Because I know that the technologies that they have are very helpful. It's all about communication. That's the thing I really don't like about talking about this. I do know so many great people who do it, who choose it as a lifestyle and really follow it and it is their religion. I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is."

Um, maybe because Scientology is a freakazoid cult that brainwashes people? How about that? Geez, Jen, wise up and join a commune. At least they have good weed.

Would any of you send your kids to a Scientology school? Tom Cruise, leave your hand down, please.

McCain Disses David Letterman Big Time: Video

Karl Erikson — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:21:00 GMT

Wow, don't screw with David Letterman. John McCain, GOP Presidential candidate was supposed to appear on David Letterman last night but backed out at the very last minute because of his "suspended" campaign. I don't give a damn what's happening - short of a heart attack or a death in the family, you don't leave someone in a lurch like that. At least get SuperMom Sarah Palin to stand in for you, but to just back out of a major talk show like that? Stinks.

To make matters worse, McCain DIDN'T zoom off for Washington like he said he was going to. No, instead, while Letterman's show was taping, McCain was doing an interview with Katie Couric for CBS News. Did he not think Letterman would find out about that?

Here's video of Letterman and his McCain commentary. He says, "This is not the way a hero behaves." Then, while Keith Olbermann (who filled in for McCain) is with him, he catches McCain in the act with Katie Couric. Must see video.

Again, don't screw with Letterman.

Bad form, John. Bad form.

JLo's Weird Fashion Choice (She's Wearing Knickers?)

Sassy Smith — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:07:00 GMT

What is Jennifer Lopez wearing? Are those body-shaping underpants/knicker things? If so, aren't they meant to be worn under your clothes, not as actual clothes? JLo is usually dressed to the nines but her gold shirt with the shaping half-pants and the hooker boots just aren't doing it for me.

Another pic after the jump!

The pop singer was performing in Athens with an audience of 11,000 fans. I'm sure they were there to hear her sing not to see what she was wearing. But still....odd choice of an outfit. Maybe as a new mom of twins, she doesn't have as much time to choose just the right outfit? Ya, that's it!

Gasp! JLo Does Have A Nanny!

Gasp! JLo Does Have A Nanny!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:10:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez decided a few months ago that she wanted to be a full-time mom and not have a nanny anymore, which hey, that's how most mother's do it - sans nannies. I'm not dissin' anyone with help, but JLo gave off a vibe that she wanted the world to be impressed that she could parent her own children. We assumed she could, albeit a bit diva-ish. However, she's apparently gone back to having a nanny but who can blame her? She's got twins - two babies is a lot of work! Perhaps Jennifer is just like us after all....well sort of....

Jennifer dished to PEOPLE...

Jenny from the block says of having help:

"I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago, [Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done."

Jen's favorite moments in the morning and evening:

“When they see you and have that big smile on their face – I live for that. And when I put them to bed at night and they melt in your arms. I give them a bottle and wind it down. I say, ‘It’s time for beddy-bye.’ I hold them and sing a little song. By the time you know it, they are asleep.”

On being a working mommy:

“It’s gonna be a learning experience. How will I do both? I try to take breaks from work. I’ll do a little work with the choreographers and then come back. I try to spend every free moment with the babies."

On her recent triathlon experience:

“The triathlon really helped get me in better shape, and snapped me back into my body. I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10 lbs., or so. [But] I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it.”

About accepting her body:

“We like to eat! I think you have to love yourself and indulge when you want to, as well as be happy and just have a healthy attitude towards it. Marc loves the way I look!”

I like a chick who likes to eat.

JLo Almost Drowns During Triathlon!! (Photos)

Jennifer Lopez completed the Malibu Triathlon with a finishing time of 3.5 hours, which is awesome right? However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, uh, well not sailing, but swimming - JLo almost didn't make it through the swim portion of the race!

More photos after the jump!

According to a source:

"Jennifer Lopez almost drowned while swimming through the Nautica Triathlon . . .The waves were to high for her as she started to submerge and was left missing for a couple of seconds until her trainer helped her out. When she reached enough depth where she could stand on her feet she gave a big smile showing relief."

Ha, I'd be panicked too - well, that is if I were to do a triathlon, which, of course will be, when pigs fly.

More photos after the jump!

After crossing the finish line, Lopez said to onlookers, "Thank you guys so much. This is an amazing day."

On JLo's recent Good Morning America appearance, the singer said, "I was beached like a whale. I was watching TV, and I saw a triathlon and I said, 'You know what? I think I could do that, that would be great for me to do. Maybe I'll do it this year.'"

And I guess she did! Congrats!

One minute you're in, the next you're out. As quickly as she was picked to be a final judge in "Project Runway," Heidi Klum says "auf Wiedersehen" to Jennifer Lopez. Word on the street is that J-Lo dropped out because of a foot injury. TRANSLATION: J-Lo is worried we'll all see just what crappy taste she has.

Instead, Tim Gunn will fill in and he has vowed to be unbiased. God, I love Tim Gunn. I have a little man crush on him. Make it work, Tim, make it work.

Lopez is married to singer Marc Anthony. They have twins, Emme Marbiel and Maximilian David, who were born in February.

I cannot WAIT for this stupid freaking Fashion Week to be over, let me tell you. Fashion is such a ridiculous industry because none of the crap they're parading down the runway is stuff that the average person is ever going to be wearing. Nevertheless, I actually LOVE "Project Runway." For real. It's all about the Gunn.

So this week we got to see Victoria Beckham's horrid new haircut (which she totally stole from Halle Berry), and we've seen a truckload of celebrities gawking at all the fashion. Here we can see J-Lo at the Oscar De La Renta fashion show, wearing some of the Spring 2009 garb. She's all sheik looking in the little black dress.

"I loved it," Lopez said, "it was so chic. There were so many things I could see myself wearing and so many things you want to see other women in."

Honestly? I really think more about the stuff I want to see women OUT of, but that's just me, maybe.

Jennifer Lopez is definitely a multi-tasker. Even while pregnant with twins, she worked, toured, acted, and designed. And she hasn't slowed down now that the babies, Max and Emme, are here. JLo is on the cover of Elle's September issue, and dishes on fashion, love,and family.

More photos after the jump!

J.Lo on Dolce and Gabbana:

“My babies! I love them, I love them, I love them.”

J.Lo on Donatella Versace:

“We’ve always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died.”

J.Lo on Georgina Chapman:

“She could be a model—but meanwhile she’s down there pinning and sewing all these things all over you!”

J.Lo on shooting in Washington Heights with Oscar de la Renta:

“We were in the hoody! All kinds of locals hanging around, eating out of paper bags, thinking, what’s going on here? It was crazy.”

J.Lo on being pregnant and commissioning a book of photos of herself for Marc two weeks before giving birth:

“I was like, How am I going to rock this moment of my life?… I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it.”

J.Lo on not being able to get pregnant right away:

“We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us—I had been checked, and he had kids already. I knew Something’s not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it’s going to happen.”

J.Lo on first realizing she was pregnant:

“I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little…flourish. My makeup artist said ‘What’s the matter?’ I didn’t say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!”

J.Lo on her pregnancy:

“We came off tour and I said ‘I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour—now I need you to take care of me. I love doing things for you; if I’m not cooking, then I’m picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I’m just going to be a little bit selfish. I don’t know if I’m going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don’t want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.’”
