It seems the GOP has reportedly spent nearly $150K to outfit Sarah Palin and her family. They dropped $75K at Neiman Marcus and nearly $50K at Saks Fifth Avenue. Really? Cuz I swear I just saw that red blazer at Marshall's last week. In fact, I'll bet $150K could buy the entire shoe department at Marshalls. And half the women'ts clothing section. $4700 for her hair and makeup? That hairdo? $150,000. That's a lot of Jimmy Choos. Or the entire Sex In The City wardrobe. What would you buy with $150K to spend on clothes?
Sharon Stone has the perfect tip for all you moms dealing with stinky little boy foot odor--Botox! In recent child custody litigation, it was revealed that Stone wanted her doctor to dose her 8-year-old son Roan's tootsies with botulism to keep them from getting all sweaty and foul. Unfortunately, the cause of glamorous mothering was set back by Roan's father. Dad, who prevailed in the custody hearing, just makes the kid wear socks with his shoes. Whatever, C-lister.
Foxy and underused actress Amanda Peet told Cookie magazine "I feel that parents who don't vaccinate their children are parasites." Hmm, not just "misguided," or "operating on groundless assumptions," but "parasites." Jenny McCarthy has been very public about her belief that vaccines are linked to autism, and even got her boyfriend Jim Carrey to march alongside her to draw attention to the issue. It looks like there's an internal debate raging between America's B-list actresses! But what about the real box-office draws? What does Angelina Jolie think? How 'bout Julia Roberts? We need some real guidance here. In the meantime, does anyone know why Peet said "I don't like to.... put sunscreen on her"? I thought we were supposed to slather kids with SPF every four hours or something? What gives?
Denise Richards made the TV talk show rounds last week to promote her new reality show, and she faced a bit of criticism for having her two small daughters on camera with her. Sure, they're "her" kids, but children don't belong to their mother the way a sofa does--should parents really be able to exploit/feature their babies this way? I generally assume any government institution will end up committing absurdities equal to, if not surpassing, its most obnoxious citizens. But seeing Denise Richards toss her hair and shrug off the suggestion that reality TV might not be a good parenting choice for her daughters makes me wonder. Do you think something like a guardian ad litem should be appointed before children are thrown into the reality TV mill?
I just can't decide who I'm more interested in watching. Should I spend quality time with Denise Richards and her kids as we watch a "single mother" struggle in Hollywood? Maybe I'll pick up some parenting tips from Living Lohan as I watch Dina work to raise another great human contribution. Wait, did you know J.Lo is working on a new show? I can't wait to see the hard worker and businesswoman toil while developing a mother-daughter fragrance. Honestly, this kind of trash tv is a guilty pleasure, like M&M's, and it makes me feel like I'm not really screwing up my own family too much. Own up: will you tune in?
