Bristol Palin: Motherhood Sucks

Josh loposer — Wed, 20 May 2009 19:00:00 GMT

In a recent interview with People, Bristol Palin made it a point to clear up any misconceptions for any high school girls who might be getting overly frisky.

"Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby and then think before they have sex," she tells PEOPLE. "Think about the consequences."
"If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex," says Bristol, sitting at her parents' lakeside patio table. "Trust me. Nobody."

BTW, Bristol graces the cover of the latest People in her high school graduation cap and gown. Maybe People was playing up the drama her by asking Bristol how it felt to be left out of her senior year in high school. Even so, I think Bristol might be overstating the case a little here.

I mean, if the news ever got out that sex leads to pregnancy, and pregnancy leads to screaming babies, procreation might cease and humanity as we know it would be lost.

Seriously though, it seems like Since Bristol signed on as an anti-teen pregnancy campaigner, all of the sudden, baby Tripp isn't such a miracle -- he's become part of a cautionary tale. I think that's kind of sad and way to get the message across.

Do you think Bristol is right on with the abstinence thing? Or should she maybe promote safe sex?

Babble Talk - Tori Amos

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 May 2009 18:27:00 GMT

Tori Amos has put out a lot of albums about the deep and the real and the stuff of life, and motherhood is right in the mix. Amy Reiter recently sat down with Amos to discuss music, children and bits of darkness.

Read the interview.

Christina Aguilera - Trouble At Home?

trix — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:32:00 GMT

Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman look like they are having a few issues.

There are multiple pictures of her, coming out of a bar, super drunk with Jordan pulling her along to the car.

What's going on in their house? It looks like maybe motherhood isn't all Christina thought it would be. Motherhood might be taking up all of her time and perhaps she wasn't prepared for how time consuming kids are. Really though, are any of us prepared for that?

She does however have the advantage of lots of money, so she can afford the nanny that must be taking care of her kid when she's out drinking.

She just needs to suck it up and deal with it. We all have to learn to adapt and be in the moment, because this too shall pass. The kids get older and get a little more independent.

Just call her Britney!

Miley Cyrus Can't Wait To Be A Soccer Mom

Josh loposer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:01:00 GMT

In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miley answered that annoying question that everybody asks when you're 16: where do see yourself in 10 years? Unlike most, Miley has a surprisingly realistic mental picture. And no, she's not pregnant.

"I'll be a soccer mom," she says. "Like Posh Spice. I'll be there in my heels cheering on my kids. 'Go, team, go!' But I'll have no idea what's going on."

Is Miley implying that Posh doesn't understand the sport of soccer? Because the quote can kinda be read that way. Of all the soccer moms out there, I imagine that Posh has a pretty keen understanding -- seeing as though she's sat through quite a few of Becks' matches.

It's kinda weird to think that Miley Cyrus dreams of being a soccer mom (albeit a really rich one). No? As a child superstar, I guess its good to have some realistic goals, because you never know when or if that gravytrain of a career will hit a dead end. In 10 years, do you think Miley Cyrus will still be a superstar?

Britney Spears Leaves The Circus to Perform a Good Deed

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Sure I make fun of her concert costumes and her driving, but when Britney Spears does a good deed I'm willing to give her the props she deserves. The singer took a break from her Circus tour on Saturday to visit 40 sick children at Miami Children's Hospital. "She took pictures with the kids and gave them autographed pictures," hospital spokesperson Cristene Martinez tells People magazine. "The kids were so excited to meet Britney, and having her here was a great distraction for them."

Spears also made a $100,000 donation to Big Apple Circus Clown Care, a hospital program that uses clowns who have medical training to visit the children on a regular basis and attend special events at the hospital.

Britney should do more community outreach like this - it's encouraging to see her being a good role model for sons Jayden and Sean. Good job, Britney - even though it's the name of your show, it's nice to see your life is a little bit less of a circus these days.

Britney Spears Concert: This Ain't Your Mama's Outfit. Oh Wait - It Is!

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

My tween girls really got on my case the other day for wearing my sweats to the grocery store. They called them my pajamas, though, since I had slept in them the night before and I had to admit they had a point. I'm wondering what Britney Spears' sons Jayden and Sean are going to think once they get a gander of their mommy's concert costumes. Sure they're stage costumes and are supposed to be over the top, but you have to agree it's a little weird seeing your mom dressed up as a naughty cop, or prancing around in a nude bodysuit with tassels hanging off her boobies. Although, come to think of it her kids probably see this kind of stuff everyday.

Gillian Anderson Loves Her Nanny

trix — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:34:00 GMT

Gillian Anderson is amazed at women that can do it all. You know that whole juggling a career as well as their home life. She can't imagine juggling her career and motherhood without help.

Gillian says that she is very grateful for the help her nanny gives her.

“One of the things I am most amazed at in life is women who raise their children without help. Some mothers are more built for it than others - higher levels of patience hormone - but it’s hard! How do you clean the house and make the dinner and do the shopping?”

Good point Gillian. However, I don't necessarily agree with the fact that some women are more built for motherhood.

My experience with motherhood is that, though I have no patience at all, there is nothing more that I wanted, than to be to be home with my kids. Yes, I was willing to give up my career to do it.

Molly Ringwald to Write a Book About Motherhood

trix — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:02:00 GMT

Molly Ringwald announced last week that she is expecting twins. If that wasn't enough to know, she also announced thatshe is going to write a book about her experiences as a forty something mother and wife.

I know that hitting forty is a major milestone, but how is writing about your 40's different than writing about your 30's?

Molly said, "It's not just about 40, but people of my generation catching up and what that's like, and how you have to re-identify yourself at that age in a culture that's pretty youth-driven. Once you've been 40, you've been through a few car wrecks and there's a lot on interesting stuff to examine."

All right, it might be interesting, just because it's her. I loved the Brat Pack movies, Breakfast Club is my favorite.

The book should be released at the end of 2009.

Lisa Marie Presley Was Afraid of Motherhood

trix — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Lisa Marie Presley feared that she wasn't going to be able to adapt to motherhood easily this time around.

Before she gave birth to her twins, Lisa Marie expected to experience post-partum depression.

Presley told Hello magazine, "That prior to the birth, she was convinced she would suffer from some form of depression when the girls arrived - because looking after twins is such hard work."
"I was expecting to go into some severe post-partum land. I was waiting for it to hit me. I had a couple of episodes of crying but they weren't unfounded. I'm glad it didn't actually get me. Everything is so freaky. 'Are they breathing? Are they OK?' They're so fragile. That freaks me out."

Post-Partum Depression effects so many women but, "Postpartum depression was more often reported by teenage moms, mothers with less than 12 years of education, Medicaid patients, smokers, victims of physical abuse before or during pregnancy, and women under traumatic or financial stress during pregnancy."

Were you afraid of PPD? I was not afraid of it, but was affected by it nonetheless.

Renee Zellweger Dishes On Her Plans For Motherhood

trix — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:31:00 GMT

Renee Zellweger is a lot of things but she is definitely not a mom, at least not right now.

Renee says that she isn't sure if she is she ever wants a family. " Motherhood has never been an ambition. I don't think like that, I never have expectations like, 'When I'm 19 I'm going to do this, and by the time I've hit 25 I'm going to do that'. I just take things as they come, each day at a time, and if things happen then all well and good."

I wonder if starring in romantic comedies, where everything ends up hunky-dory, makes it hard to deal with relationships in the real world.

When you are a star, it must be difficult to give up the attention and the pampering you are used to and get used to the day in and day out of motherhood. Oh wait, you just get a nanny, I forgot.

Kathryn Erbe is a Better Woman Because of Her Children

Karl Erikson — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Kathryn Erbe, star of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," says that momhood has made her "a better person in every way." It's because of daughter Maeve, 13, and son Carson, 5, that Kathryn has become "much less self-centered." Easy to understand. I think most all parents can relate. It can be a shock to the system to learn the universe doesn't (necessarily) revolve around you.

Kathryn, 42, says, "My heart grows every day through struggling and love of my kids. It helps balance everything else - the work and the world. It helps keep me grounded and in perspective of what is really meaningful to me. It helps me be conscious of the way that I conduct myself in my relationships and in the world."

To change the family dynamic a bit, Kathryn recently adopted a dog from the North Shore Animal League. Lilah "brings everyone together," she says. "She’s this force of love who does not judge, does not get mad - she just walks around and loves all of us. And when my kids are crying, she immediately goes to them. If they’re hurt, she immediately goes to the area where they’re hurt. She’s an incredibly empathetic being."

Kids Maeve and Carson are Kathryn's children with her ex-husband, Terry Kinney.

Gwen and Zuma- Bonding Bliss

trix — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:07:00 GMT

Gwen and Zuma look precious in this picture so I just had to share it with you. Yes, I said that Gwen looks precious. She almost has that slight secretive half smile that is Mona Lisaesque.

At least that's the way I interpreted her smile. That's what motherhood gives you in those rare moments of peace, insights into the inner sanctum of motherhood that only we know about.

Or it's where we go when we just can't handle it anymore and it is the only place we can go to keep our sanity intact. Again, only mothers know that too.

Minnie Wants More Little Drivers

Karl Erikson — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Minnie Driver, 38, was on the Ellen show Friday and talked babies. Henry Story is only 10 weeks old and he popped out at 9 lbs, 12 oz. Big boy! But Minnie is already talking MORE babies. She says that as her memory of the labor pains fades, she wants more little Drivers. "The pictures do make you kind of go, 'Ouch!," Minnie says, "but then I look at him. I want another one of them."

This after two prolonged false labor episodes and 25 hours of ACTUAL labor. She was hoping to avoid a C-section, but that didn't happen. "I thought that it was his journey. He wasn't in any trouble, there was nothing wrong. He was just a big baby." So big, in fact, that he couldn't even squeeze into his cute pumpkin costume for Halloween. "We had to cut the feet off to make him fit, so he wore orange and black spider socks."

Ack! Spiders! Someone kill Henry's feet! Oh, I mean...aww, God's creatures are all beautiful. Except for the platypus. Those things give me nightmares.

Minnie is scheduled to appear in a film next year called "Motherhood," with costars Uma Thurman and Anthony Edwards.

Myleene Klass: Don't Call Me Yummy Mummy

Myleene Klass, British TV presenter, says it's a struggle balancing her career with raising her 15-month-old daughter, Ava. Earlier this year Myleene, 30, talked about how difficult motherhood has been for her, and she got a lot of flak for saying that.

"Some people said I shouldn't be so frank, but I was just sick and tired of having all these yummy mummy myths perpetuated," Myleene says. "I'd see women out with 2 toddlers and a buggy and they managed. Why couldn't I? Now I make a point of asking every working mother I meet: 'What's the secret?'"

Myleene and fiance Graham Quinn plan on getting hitched next year.

Oh, and by the way, Myleene? You ARE a yummy mummy.

Heidi Klum's Halloween Costume Offends Hindus

Sassy Smith — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Oops. Heidi Klum went all out for her annual Halloween party and she dressed as Hindu Goddess Kali and while most people thought her costume was fantastic, some did not. In fact, the supermodel offended several Hindu-American leaders.

Contact Music is reporting that some Hindu scholars want the Project Runway host to apologize for posing as the sacred figure.

Rajan Zed, Indo-American statesman said, "Goddess Kali is highly revered in Hinduism and she is meant to be worshipped in temples and not to be used in clubs for publicity stunts or thrown around loosely for dramatic effects. Hindus welcome Hollywood and other entertainment industries to immerse themselves in Hinduism but they should take it seriously and respectfully, and not just use the religion for decoration or to advance their selfish agenda. Casual flirting sometimes results in pillaging serious spirtual doctrines and revered symbols and hurting the devotees."

Jawahar L. Khurana of the Hindu Alliance of India and Bhavna Shinde of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti have said that Heidi's costume is "denigrating."

I don't think Heidi's intention was to offend anyone and although I don't want to be disrepectful to those who worship Hinduism, but perhaps they've taken things too seriously, saying her costume was "denigrating."

Klum was spotted out at Madeo restaurant last week in Hollywood, and although she wasn't looking supermodel-ish, she still looked pretty darn good despite not having her face made up.

She does look good though, doesn't she? She looks healthy, not just skin and bones.

I love that Zahara is staring down the cameras, and Pax tries to cover up and Maddox just has his eyes closed the whoe time.

The patches on the elbows of Pax's sweater are adorable. Truly a classic.

We just reported that Johnny Depp is cast as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's version of "Alice in Wonderland." The movie is already filming in the U.K. and is due to be released in March of 2010. Here we see Helena Bonham Carter - who is in virtually every Tim Burton flick...nepotism at work - and daughter Nell, 9 months. They're on the set of "Alice." Can't wait to see who else is lined up for the cast. Burton is just a brilliant filmmaker.

Solange Knowles is Mother First, Artist Second

Karl Erikson — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:04:00 GMT

When Solange Knowles, little sister of megastar Beyonce Knowles, was 13 she was a dancer for Destiny's Child. Since then, she's written songs for Destiny's Child and Beyonce, gotten married, had a child, and gotten a divorce. And her new album "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" was just released.

Solange is supposedly a lot more mature than when she released her first solo album in 2003. "I changed dramatically. I was 17 years old when I got pregnant. At 17, your whole life is about going to prom and going to the mall shopping and really not about much. But soon as you find out you're welcoming a child, your life is changed drastically," Knowles says.

That's the mother of all understatements.

She's 22 now. "You have definitely more morals. You definitely have more of a conscience, and your first priority is your child. Everything I do from this point on, I have him in the back of my mind. At this point, I think also being a mother has given me the courage to do the things that truly make me happy. The best part right now is being a mom - being Julez's mom. At the end of the day when all of this is over, I just want to make sure my son is happy with me as a mom first."

Helena Bonham Carter's Relatives Die In Bus Crash

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:57:00 GMT

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has reportedly lost four of her British relatives in a minibus crash in South Africa, and at least one of the victims was a child.

A rep for the Foreign Office said the victims were on a safari holiday and the vehicle lost control and overturned. Three of the deceased have been named as 14-year-old Marcus Egerton-Warburton, his grandmother Brenda Bonham Carter, 74, and Francis Kirkwood, 75, the boy's step-grandfather. At least two other family members are believed to have been injured in the accident.

A Foreign Office rep said, "We can confirm the deaths of four British nationals in a road traffic accident on August 20. We are still seeking clarification about the accident fromt the South African authorities."

The young teen's mom, Fiona Bonham Carter is thought to have sustained a broken collar bone and his brother, Piers suffered whiplash. The injured have been taken to Johannesburg for medical treatment.

A Facebook memorial has been set up for Marcus, with one friend writing, "Can't put into words how much I will miss you. You are an amazing person you will never be forgotten. R.I.P. marci xxx."

Our condolences to the family.

Helena Bonham Confirms Her Baby's Name-Finally

Last month we helped squash rumors that the Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton named their baby Indiana Rose, “apparently on the internet she’s called Indiana Rose! [laughs] I don’t know where it’s come from but it can be that till she’s been named properly [laughs]."

The Burton Carter duo confirmed to a The Jewish Journal that their baby's name is Nell, after, "all the Helens in the family".

“I feel quite atavistic in the sense that I want them to know where they come from”. I'm not sure she used that word correctly.

I'm sure she will be as beautiful as this Nell.
