Ricki Lake's Book On Childbirth Hits The Shelves

Josh loposer — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:29:00 GMT

Since the birth of her second son, Ricki Lake has been on a mission to educate and empower expectant mothers of alternative ways to give birth. This week, her book Your Best Birth has hit shelves. Will it start a revolution?

Midwives, home births, etc. are seen by many as semi-dangerous hippie trends, but Ricki sees it the other way around. She says that many of the thinks that many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good. That's apparently the reason Ricki and her producer/co-author Abbey Epstein have gotten on their soap box.

According to them, 99% of births in the US occur in hospitals, though the vast majority are not high risk. In Lake's opinion, once you step into a hospital, you lose almost all control over the process of childbirth. Ricki went home birth for her second child because she wanted control over the mood lighting, the tunes, and even the menu.

"I didn't want to be somewhere where I could only have ice chips."

What do you think about Ricki's encouraging women to try midwives and home birth? Is she the Jenny McCarthy of childbirth?

Breaking News - Octuplet Rushed to the Hospital

trix — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 03:47:00 GMT

Nadya Suleman rushed Makai to the hospital earlier today, because he wouldn't stop crying. Not only would he not stop crying and she felt a bump on his lower abdomen and was afraid he had a hernia.

It turns out that Makai was fine, but it had to be scary for Nadya.

It sure is a good thing that she had her 3 or 4 nurses there. I couldn't imagine the stress of trying to pack up all those kids to take one to the emergency room.

Can you imagine what it's going to be like when the flu hits that house? We just had it for two days and I'm exhausted. I've seen enough V & D to last me a life time and I only have two kids.

Octomom is Coming To A TV Near You

trix — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:34:00 GMT

Nadya Suleman needs to head to Washington, she needs to be hired for her spin tactics.

She confirmed today, that she did get a reality show deal, but was sure to say that it's not really reality, but a documentary.

She told Life & Style magazine, “Yes, it is official. I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show. What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks; they’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”

Sure sure, Nadya, whatever you say.

Needless to say, the deal has been made. The interesting thing about htis deal, is that it's with a company out of England. Eyeworks is the company and they will be filming Nadya's octuplets from now until they are 18.

Holy Crap, that's a lot of money, she'll be paid over the years. The plan is to go to the house six times a year, take some footage and then leave. I guess that may be the best way to do it, then they won't have to see Nadya's every day excesses.

It is exciting to know that we, the American public won't have to see it, unless of course, we show interest.

Don't you dare.

Good News For Borat!

trix — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 21:14:00 GMT

Borat star, Sacha Baron Cohen and his family, received some good news from the courtroom this week. 3 of the latest would be lawsuits against the filmmaker have been tossed out of court. 2 etiquette schoolteachers and a driving instructor were claiming that they were deceived by the filmmakers.

I think when you sign the waivers stating that people can film you, because of course who doesn't want to be on the big screen, you give up all rights to take it back. Even if you make an ass out of yourself.

Sacha Baron Cohen is out and about filming a new "documentary" style movie as Bruno, so beware, read your waivers carefully and most of all, don't be yourself.

Oops, Britney May Do It Again

Karl Erikson — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:43:00 GMT

Hooray! Word is out that Britney is seriously considering yet another reality show. Because, you know, her first reality show "Britney and Kevin Chaotic" did so amazingly well. And really, who can get enough of Britney? Not me, that's for sure.

Britney's dad is reportedly pissed that she's considering this documentary-style ~~train wreck~~ show on MTV. "He thinks it's a big mistake and doesn't want anything to do with it. But Britney thinks it will help her custody battle for her sons," a source told the Daily Star.

Er, right. Because having all of her psychoses captured on tape is the one thing that's going to get her kids back. Not acting normal or anything, that's so overrated.

I hear they're going to call it "Skankovision 24-7."

Madonna Wanted To Adopt 10 Children

Karen — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Madonna's documentary, "I Am Because We Are" is well underway and the film has changed her life.

“I was approached by a woman who lived (in Malawi) who said, ‘Look, you have children; you’re a mother; you write children’s books; you donate money to children’s charities, so we know that you care. There’s a state of emergency going on here, over a million children orphaned by AIDS. People pay attention to what you do and what you say, so could you please help?’” Madonna explained to Parade magazine. “I just thought, ‘How can I say no?’”

“When I experienced what was going on firsthand, I just got sucked into the whole thing,” the queen of pop said. “Thank God I did. I met some amazing people and, hopefully, I’ve changed the lives of a lot of children.”

Well she certainly changed the life of her adopted son, David.

“I’ll never forget meeting my son, David,” she told Parade. “If I could, I would have adopted 10 more children. There’s just so many that need parents and one’s more beautiful and lovely than the next.”

Meh. Leave it to Angelina and Brad, honey. They've got the years left on them.

Eddie Vedder Wants No More

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:26:00 GMT

Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam fame, has been doing some pretty decent solo work. First he did the soundtrack for Into the Wild and now he has some songs in the documentary Body of War created by Phil Donahue. The video below is from the latter. It is a song called "No More," and I'm guessing that Mr. Vedder, being a father, knew the emotions it would stir. Take a minute and check it out:

Marc & JLo - He Looks Tired, She Looks Plastic

Sassy Smith — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 12:06:00 GMT

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez were at the premiere of Shine A Light - a documentary directed by Martin Scorsese about The Rolling Stones - at NYC's Ziegfeld Theater on Sunday. He definitely looks tired and she, um, looks slightly unnatural.

More pics after the jump

The new parents got dolled up for an evening out and although overall they looked nice, Marc looks like he's lacking about 346 hours of sleep and Jennifer put a tad too much make up on. By tad too much, I've seen clowns with less. Mean I know, but seriously, it's too much. Sure, new moms want to feel pretty but she kind of overdid it.

Let's hope he gets some rest and she can chisel all that eyeshadow off.

Kate Moss Tell All Documentary: Pete Doherty Blabs

Sassy Smith — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 19:06:00 GMT

It seems that Pete Doherty, Babyshambles frontman, is going to have loose lips and dish all the dirty little secrets about ex-girlfriend, Kate Moss.

The singer is negotiating a reported $100,000 deal with a British TV station to make a documentary about his relationship with the supermodel.

A source was quoted in a British newspaper, "He has promised it will be a no-holds barred chat. Producers are hoping he'll let them use a lot of film he and Kate shot on camcorders."

"Some of it is really raunchy stuff Kate believed would never be seen by anyone else. She'll be furious and feel massively betrayed. There could be a big legal battle over it."

Doherty and Moss split last July after Pete allegedly cheated on Kate with a mystery brunette. Gosh and he's such a ~~piece of shit~~ catch too.

Oh the drama of these wacked out celebs!

There's a Spice Girls Documentary?

Whit Honea — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:20:00 GMT

Apparently, and this is part of what you'll see. It actually looks interesting- in a Spice Girls drama sort of way. I thought this was their documentary.

There is a bit of language in the video that I'm sure would offend someone. It usually does.

Documentary Footage Shows Kylie Minogue's Collapse

Karen — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:04:00 GMT

Prior to her diagnosis, Kylie was filming a documentary that captured some disturbing footage of her concert collapse in Manchester.

"I hate to let you all down but I'm just going to do one more song," Minogue, wearing a skin-tight catsuit, tells the audience.

But she simply could not go on.

"I was really weak, dizzy and couldn't sing," she says in the documentary White Diamond: A Personal Portrait of Kylie Minogue, which aired last night on Britain's Channel 4.

"I was hyperventilating and panicking and in tears and then we stopped and there was this gap that seemed like it went forever.

"At the end of the medley I go through the back doors and at the top of the stairs I just sat there and burst into tears with my head in my hands.

"Let alone the tour, everything just collapsed. Everything. The world kinds of stopped spinning."

"The last time I was really ill on the stage was before I was diagnosed so I had a lot of, kind of, I felt really um pummelled. I was quite tormented in fact."

During the documentary she discusses her love for Oliver Martinez, after her May 2005 diagnosis. They have since split, however.

"Ollie was amazing I have to say, really supportive through Showgirl 1, and was with me when I was diagnosed," she said.

"I have learnt that when the going gets tough, or in a crisis, you learn a lot about people. And I, I can't tell people enough, how amazing he was."
