Jenny McCarthy's Family Left Reeling After Proposal

trix — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 18:32:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are a couple of pranksters. Jenny McCarthy visited "Ellen" and told of the consequences of a joke she and Jim played on Ellen's audience last year.

She said, "Jim's entire Canadian relatives (didn't know), nor did any of my friends, and even my mom (said), 'For Pete's sake, Jenny, you didn't even tell me.' I'm like, 'Mom, the bell's went off - it was a joke. We had to do damage control the rest of the day."

She said that she was even overcome with emotion, "I really started crying because I was like, 'Oh my God, look how sweet he is right now.'"

I bet that was a lot of follow up that day. That's like saying your pregnant as a joke, everybody taking it seriously, and then having to take it back.

OOPS! Sorry!

Jenny McCarthy Weighed 200 Pounds?

trix — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:04:00 GMT

I've been hearing a lot about Jenny McCarthy lately and it's not controversial feuding over autism treatments, it's all about her looks again. She looks fantastic on the cover of shape magazine and I really dig her swimsuit, I bet it takes a couple minutes to get it just right.

Jenny McCarthy says she used to weigh 200 pounds, but that's not really fair to say because, she might have weighed 200 but that was right after she delivered her son.

“I thought I might be 170 when I left the hospital, but no, I was 200!” the 5′6″ Jenny tells Shape. “When my son, Evan, was born, I dialed back that whole sex-kitten thing.” She joined Weight Watchers in her battle against the bulk, a program she credits with teaching her “portion control and to be conscious of what I put in my mouth.”

It is such a battle when it's not easy to lose the baby weight, especially if you are battling PPD, like me, or don't have a million dollars to spend on a private chef and trainer to make you food and get your butt out of bed to make you work out.

Was it easy for you to lose the baby weight or did you really have to work at it like Jenny did?

*note*

Every time I do a post about losing baby weight I always get a zillion comments about how easy it was for them to lose the weight, I appreciate those comments, but would also like to hear from those that had a difficute time or are still trying to lose it.

Jenny McCarthy Slaves Over Her Looks

trix — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:03:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy has always seemed like such an honest chick. She was herself on "Singled Out" and in the books she's written on motherhood. She's also been very honest about her passion about her sons autism. She feels that she should be honest about the things she does to keep her look.

She told Michigan Avenue, a society magazine, that her honesty shocked her fans, "People were surprised I was so open about (it) but when people see everyone in Hollywood, they look up to them and I think everyone should be honest about what they're doing."

She does say that she uses Botox sparingly. "A lot of doctors will do it so people are frozen... but you wanna still be able to have wrinkles... The key is just a little and it's really hard to find a doctor to only put a little bit in. I'm not promoting it, but anything that makes people feel good..."

Well, there you go, everything in moderation and you can look just like her.

Denis Leary to Jenny McCarthy: Bring It

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:05:00 GMT

Looks like the feud between Denis Leary and Jenny McCarthy isn't quite over yet. As you may remember, McCarthy called Leary "obviously stupid" for making jokes about autism in his book Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Well it appears Leary may have feelings after all, and is swinging his little arms back at McCarthy.

"I can guarantee you that Jenny McCarthy did not read the book and at this point I refuse to continue to be the punching bag for autism because I’m not even going to stand here on my own defense. I don’t think it’s number four on the New York best sellers because people want to laugh at somebody who is making fun of autistic kids."

"My motivation, which I’ve said a million times, for writing the chapter was because I have friends who have autistic children and I think it’s ridiculous that there’s people out there who are bad parents and are trying to solve the bad behavior of their spoiled brat children by getting a low-level diagnosis. It’s true, if people don’t want to believe it that’s fine, but that’s what I was writing about."

Leary's book was quoted as saying people diagnosed with autism are “stupid. Or lazy. Or both.” McCarthy, who has said that her six-year-old son Evan was recently cured of autism, shot back, "First of all, let me tell you, the autism community has received probably 10,000 emails [saying] ‘Go kill him!’ ‘Go yell at him. [But] it’s so hard to even get up enough juice in me or energy in me to even try to fight someone that is obviously stupid.”

Leary may learn the hard way that hell hath no fury like an ex-Playmate mom protecting her child against the barbs of a B-list actor. Time to get up your juice and take out that can of whoop-ass, Jenny.

Who Is That Guy With Jenny McCarthy?

trix — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:54:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey stopped to get their picture taken while taking in the sights and sounds of the Sundance Film Festival.

Jenny always looks great, but I do have to say that Jim looks pretty good. Thank goodness he finally cut his hair, I really didn't like him with long hair.

I know that the couple have no plans to get married, but I'm really glad that Jenny is happy with him. She seems like a nice girl and a good mother and she deserves to be happy.

Jenny McCarthy is Worth $50 Million

trix — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:30:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy is set for life.

Of course she is, but her boyfriend Jim Carrey wants to make sure that she is financially secure for the rest of her life.

Why oh why doesn't someone do that for me? I'm lovable and cute.

Jim Carrey is setting up a trust fund worth a reported $50 million. The reason, "He adores her and credits her with his better health and happier outlook on life. (He) wants her to have all the perks in life should anything happen to him."

I guess I'd take $50 million as a sign of commitment instead of a ring, but only if I really loved someone. I'm not a gold digger.

Amanda Peet and the Missing Lovey

trix — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 23:32:00 GMT

Amanda Peet is a traveler, as is her daughter. She told Ellen Degeneres that she pretty much brought Frances' whole world with them anytime they went somewhere.

Amanda would take all kinds of stuffed animals with them to see which one Frances would get attached to. She got attached to a cow, and then Amanda had to ask someone for a gift back- a twin of said cow, so that they could placate Frances when said cow got lost. They now have two cows, one for now and one in hiding. You know just in case cow # 1 has to be washed or repaired.

Ha, we all know how well this works. It works like a charm until the beloved toy gets lost and is out of production. How pathetic have we become when we scramble all over creation trying to find the toy.

I made that mistake with pacifiers. Thank goodness we finally got our youngest off the dummy. What a lifesaver and nightmare, all in one tiny little package you can buy at Target.

Whose Smiley Little Kid Is This?

trix — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Can you tell whose kid this is with out his celebrity parent nearby? I could not, but I'll give you a hint. He is the topic of some controversial statements for and against a cause.

It's Evan, Jenny McCarthy's son. The autism he has or has been cured of, is the topic of barbs thrown back and forth between Jenny McCarthy and Amanda Peet.

However none of that was evident at the "Backyardigans Live!" Breakfast Benefit For Malaria No More.

I bet they had fun. We love the Backyardigns at our house, sometimes Tasha is so bossy though.

Jenny McCarthy: My Son Is Cured of Autism

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:05:00 GMT

In the current issue of US Weekly, Jenny McCarthy talks about helping her son Evan recover from autism, which she says was caused by the MMR vaccine. "Before the vaccination, he was huggy, lovey, snuggly," she says. "Then it was like someone came down and stole him."

McCarthy believes that a strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet is what cured her son. She recounts the moment she first saw him coming out of his shell, while he was watching an episode of SpongeBob. "I heard Evan laugh...I jumped on the bed and started screaming. When he finally hugged me, I prayed, 'Please God don't let this be the only time.'"

The actress, who is dating Jim Carrey, has long been an outspoken advocate for autism awareness. But she's not without her detractors; She has been criticized by the American Academy of Pediatrics for her 'autism cure' claims and doctors have accused her of causing fear of necessary vaccines.

Of course, after seeing this issue of US Weekly, I think the one question on everyone's lips will be: Why the hell did Jen take John back?

Jenny McCarthy Hits Back At Amanda Peet On Vaccine Issue

trix — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:29:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy struck out at Amanda Peet in an interview in the October/November issue of Spectrum magazine.

Why, because Amanda Peet called parents that don't vaccinate their kids parasites.

Amanda has apologized for her comments, but Jenny has taken the label of parasite and is wearing it like a badge. She's is defending the autism community and says, "she has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong.''

According to Autism United C/O Big Apple Communications, "Jenny [is] a mother of a recovered autistic child has recently led a rally of thousands with Jim Carrey in Washington DC, this past summer, calling for the Federal Government to clean vaccines of all toxins and to change a loaded schedule that leads to the cause of autism. There are over 5000 cases of parents suing the government for improper immunization of children.

Doctors across the the nation are going after Jenny McCarthy's crusade. According to Spectrum, The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) put a nationwide casting call looking for a spokesperson to combat Jenny. Jenny has been gaining world wide media attention fighting against what she deems, unsafe vaccines. Amanda Peet agreed to be a spokesperson for Ever Child By Two (ECBT) because she was concerned about the information circulating throughout Hollywood .

According to Jenny "Until she walks in our shoes she has no idea?? referring to Amanda Peet. She also says that the AAP "sucks".

National Autism Advocacy Group, Autism United, is calling for a boycott of all of Amanda Peet's movies. "We want to send a clear message to her," says Executive Director, John Gilmore. "Our community will not support the continued misinformation that is funneled into the media by organizations like ECBT and the AAP. We are not against vaccines, rather we are for safe vaccines. Until they understand that, we won't back down. Ms. Peet's comments are deplorable and an apology will not suffice. We applaud Jenny McCarthy's continued efforts and for speaking up for our community.""

What do you think?

Jenny McCarthy Blasts Michael Savage For Autism Attack

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:32:00 GMT

Michael Savage: You've been served. Jenny McCarthy is calling the shock jock out for his inflammatory remarks on autism.

“I’ll tell you what autism is — it’s a brat that hasn’t been told to cut the act out,” Savage said two weeks ago. McCarthy, whose son Evan is autistic, was infuriated by Savage's words and is speaking out now.

“You know, I immediately get the news the second anything happens. I read it and had to sit down and kind of breathe a little bit,” McCarthy said. “The media drove me crazy that day wanting comments and I didn’t want to give any more attention to that jerk.

“It’s really about showboating ignorance really,” she said. “I kind of took the high road and kept talking about healing, prevention."

In fact, McCarthy invited Savage to a smackdown to teach him a lesson. “And if he would like, (he can) join me in the ring sometime on the WWE. I’ll show you what I really think." McCarthy was referring to her appearance last night with John Cena on Saturday Night's Main Event, in which she teamed up with the WWE to raise awareness of autism.

I don't think Savage had the balls to show up, but he's taken some blows in other ways: advertisers pulled ads from his popular radio show and there have been demands for his termination.

Green Our Vaccines: Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Get Political

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:29:00 GMT

Who says it ain't easy bein' green? Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy flexed their political muscles today as they marched on Washington in support of Green Our Vaccines, an organization that seeks to raise awareness about toxins in childhood vaccines.

Carrey led 8,500 people through the streets of Washington, D.C., Wednesday, along with his daughter Jane and McCarthy and her son Evan. Of Evan, Carrey said, "He taught me how to love. And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit."

Carrey was equally gushing about girlfriend McCarthy when he spoke to the families, lawmakers and other activists that had gathered for the rally, saying that she was "the source of all that is good" in his life.

Wow - political activism and public declarations of love all in the same day. Celebrities really are more productive than the rest of us. I only managed to shower and go to Starbucks today.

Jenny McCarthy Says Vaccines Cause Autism

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:05:00 GMT

Jenny McCarthy was interviewed by an NBC affiliate on Monday, and the actress/ex-Playboy Playmate/Jim Carrey's girlfriend was outspoken in her opinion that childhood vaccines cause autism. McCarthy, whose son Evan, 5, was diagnosed at the age of two, says she isn't necessarily anti-vaccine, but anti toxin. "Take the crap out. Get rid of the ether, the antifreeze, the mercury, the aluminum," she said. "They're just cheap preservatives. I'd pay four times as much for a clean vaccine!"

Although Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said ingredients in vaccines have never been proven to cause autism, McCarthy argues that they contain neurotoxins that, along with many other ingredients actually "trigger" autism in susceptible children.

Expect punches to be thrown (figuratively, I hope) on both sides of this issue. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of autism and I've always been pro-vaccine, but the possibility that antifreeze may have been an ingredient? Slightly alarming.
