Miley Cyrus Breakout Album Cover

Whit Honea — Sat, 31 May 2008 17:02:00 GMT

That big sigh of relief you heard? I believe it came from the Disney home office.

The new album/CD/MP3/whatever cover for Miss Miley Cyrus' Breakout has been released and she's not naked! Finally, something Disney, Billy Ray Cyrus, and 12-year-old girls everywhere can agree on. 15-year-old boys are reportedly not happy.

Personally, I've never thought much of all the hoopla surrounding Miley Cyrus. Sure, some of the pictures that have surfaced over the past year have been a bit much, but overall I think she's done pretty well for a teenager with a billion dollars under her matress. Billy Ray Cyrus could have done a lot worse.

Here's the new cover. The album drops (industry talk) on July 22nd, and the single "7 Things" is currently getting air time on Radio Disney.

Buy your copy quick before Michelle Malkin complains about it.

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.

Rachael Ray Is Too Tired to Have Kids

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:15:00 GMT

Guess Rachael Ray needs to chug more of that Dunkin' Donuts coffee she's been pushing. The unbearably chipper chef/cookbook author/talk show host says she's too tired to add parenting to her busy schedule.

"I'm too tired," Ray, 39, said when asked about having kids. "I feel like I’m a bad mom to my dog... I have five jobs, and I just don’t think I could take on the biggest job of being a parent."

About the recent plastic surgery rumors that have been dogging her Ray said, "Do you really think if somebody gave me a week off I would spend it under a knife and if I was going to cut something off, don't you think it'd be my butt and not my forehead?”

Next up on Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Meals: Butt Meat! Definitely not yummo.

Bam! Emeril Lagasse Gets Burned

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:45:00 GMT

Ubiquitous celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse has chopped, sautéed and fried his way out of The Food Network's lineup, at least partially. Lagasse's "Emeril Live" has been cancelled, while the only slightly less annoying "Essence of Emeril" will remain on the air. Lagasse is a veteran of the network and has attracted a loyal following of fans who apparently never tire of his annoying catchphrases. Me, if I hear "Kick it up a notch" one more time I'm going to strangle Lagasse with one of his sausage ropes.

Negotiations between the celebrity chef and the network broke down on Tuesday and the network decided to kick him down a notch - the last episode of "Emeril Live" will air on December 11. Guess Lagasse's head got too big for his toque.

Anthony Bourdain Is All Rainbows And Unicorns And Sharp, Sharp Knives

HerBadMother — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Have I mentioned before that I have a massive crush on Anthony Bourdain? I do. I adore him and his cursing and his drinking and his cigarettes and his fine way around a Coq au Vin or Roulade of Wild Pheasant, not to mention his deft hand with a Rachael Ray smackdown.

Well, apparently the cigarettes are now past tense, since the birth of his daughter, Ariane, now 7 months old. He says that he had to quit because it just became too difficult to carry on the habit when he was banned from smoking in the family home. In any case, he adds, his whole world has changed: I've got a daughter now, I'm living in pink world. It's all rainbows and unicorns from here on out.

Sure it is, Tony. But I'm betting that those unicorns get turned into Licorne au Vin or Cassoulet du Licorne or Licorne au Poivre pretty quick, no?

Giada De Laurentiis Has A Bun In The Oven

HerBadMother — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 20:44:00 GMT

As if I could resist punning on ovens and kitchens and pregnancy when announcing a Food Network pregnancy.

Giada de Laurentiis announced on Monday's Today show that she is due in early April.

"When I found out I was pregnant I was in complete shock," she admitted. "I truly didn't believe it. I honestly thought, 'there has got to be a mistake.' " But no mistake - and a constant craving for starches has been underscoring the point.

Which raises the question: would professional cooks and foodies gain more weight during pregnancy - because they can cook or prepare anything to satisfy their cravings - or less weight - because they'd just be so averse to fulfilling urges for McChickens and Twinkies and stick to a higher quality diet - than regular women? I exclude Rachael Ray from this consideration, of course; I fully expect her to gain ninety pounds on a diet of thirty-minute carbonara and deep fried Mars bars when she gets pregnant.

Congratulations, Giada!

Anthony Bourdain To Rachael Ray: Stop Dealing Crack To Kids, Bitch

HerBadMother — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:03:00 GMT

Anthony Bourdain on Rachael Ray's endorsement deal with Dunkin' Donuts:

She’s hugely influential, particularly with children. And she’s endorsing Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s like endorsing crack for kids.”

He adds: “I’m not a very ethical guy. I don’t have a lot of principles. But somehow that seems to me over the line. Juvenile diabetes has exploded. Half of Americans don’t have necks. And she’s up there saying, ‘Eat some [bleeping] Dunkin’ Donuts. You look great in that swimsuit - eat another doughnut!’ That’s evil.”

I love Anthony Bourdain. That he's bitch-slapping Rachael Ray's convenience-food-lovin' ass across the mediasphere makes me love him even more. I'd go so far as to say that I love him so mcuh that I want to have his babies - adorable little chain-smoking wise-ass babies - if it weren't for the fact that my husband would probably protest. Probably.

What's That Smell? Apparently It's Diddy

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 13:05:00 GMT

Wanna smell like a hip-hop mogul? I don't, but the multi-tasking Diddy has a new fragrance, Unforgivable Woman that launched this week and he seems to know better. "I am a man and know how a woman should smell.” Like the inside of a minivan after a week of carpool? Like a blogger who hasn't left her chair for a week? Tell me, Diddy!

Appearing on Rachael Ray's show today, Diddy seems confident that his fragrance is da (stank) bomb. "This week I am going to challenge my female counterparts, from J. Lo, Mariah [Carey], Sarah Jessica Parker to Gwen Stefani, that my fragrance is better than theirs,"

Kim Porter, Diddy's jilted ex-girlfriend and mother of his three children, would probably say that something stinks but it sure as hell ain't the perfume.
