This was in Malibu, and apparently they are doing it again in Detroit and Nashville (and somewhere else I didn’t catch). Maybe we can make it to the one in Nashville. Suz?
How cute is this? If you don’t love Kiss, you might not think it is cute at all, but I do, and I do. Look how happy Paul looks! He is 54, and he and his pregnant (duh) wife, Erin, are at the premiere of Superman.
Oh man have I been laughing my butt off tonight. I don’t think Marshall will laugh too much, but boy(!) will every married woman I know. Ha! Check out True Wife Confesssions - found via Mary Tsao at Blogher. Honestly, I don’t think I am really the Blogher type woman so much (hearmeroar), but I always read and have really found some interesting things on there today - thanks again Mary for pointing that out!
Try these on for size:
Confession #029
After 10 years of being together, I still hope that you will learn how to make me orgasm one day.
Confession #016
Yes, I washed the chicken. I have been rinsing the chicken for 15 years. You do not have to ask me EVERY TIME if I have washed the god damn chicken. If my plan were to give you salmonella, it would have happened a long time ago.
Confession #003
Your electronic organizer? The one you loved in 1998? Yeah. That didn’t fall out of your car and get run over by your tire. I washed and dried it in the laundry , then tried to get you to think you’d done it by wedging it under your tire, in the rain.
This is killing me. I can happily say that none of these are my confessions - but go read the rest - I know you will identify with some of them. 
I can’t seem to get motivated to write about Brad Pitt or Beauty or MRSA today to save my life, but my opinions about other things are flying around madly today. I watched as much as I could stand most of the Britney Spears interview on Dateline NBC tonight, and that girl just brings up so many different feelings in me, I just don’t know what to say. But I will think of something.
On one hand I feel really sorry for her - where is her stylist? Her mother? Her husband? My husband brought up a really valid point - if we were Britney and KFed (thank God for small favors), he would be one of those Russell Crowe paparazzi bashers. Marshall would not let paps around me and our baby. He would drive himself bonkers to be a man and keep that crap as far away from us as he could. And my mother would a.) be there helping me juggle my drink and my cigarette and my baby, b.) would have taught me NOT to chew gum on an interview on national television, c.) made damn sure my baby was safely tucked in his car seat at all times and d.) been all over the media telling them to go to hell and quit picking on her baby. And her grandbaby. And a whole lot more stuff too.
It pains me to watch Britney going through all of this, it really does. I think she is a doll, but at some point you have to take responsibility for your own stupidity actions. Is she at that point yet? I don’t know. For now I will just keep her in my prayers and hope she gets through this rough spot with some dignity. And please, for goodness sakes, a new stylist.
I am feeling the love from my friends and bosses at b5media today, no doubt. Duncan and Jeremy both put me in their top 10 list of people they would like to be stranded on a deserted island with - and that is touching. Really. And Jeremy even called me a sweetheart in the Beyonce vs b5 podcast. Wow!! I am glad I didnt make the list of their top 10 people they wished were stranded on a deserted island!! I still can’t believe how nervous I originally was to come to b5. I love it here and I love these guys and gals tremendously!!
So if anyone was wondering who my stranded buddies would be, here they are:
If I were stranded I would wish to be with Marshall cause I can’t imagine life without him in it, Hsien so I would have someone to bitch to (cause I know I would have a need to bitch!), Duncan, cause he would come up with some outrageously grand idea to get us back to civilization, and Jeremy, who would find a way to make Duncan’s nutty plan come to life. Aaron would keep me on my toes and keep me from being bored and I would take Suzzann, cause she is my dearest friend and it just wouldn’t be right not to have her stranded with me. Or I am afraid she would haunt me if I didn’t. I would take Mary Jo, cause she is tons of fun, and hmmm…Brad Pitt. Because he is Brad Pitt, and we girls are gonna get bored.
Lets see - who would I wish were stranded - well there is her, and her, and him and maybe him too - and now that the day has gone by, there is one more him - yeah, there are a few people. Do you know who you are? Heh. You should. I am far too polite to name them out loud.
Seems like I have run into a mighty lot of those lately (sorry, giving no links…LOL), so I thought I would see where I landed on the scale. I answered these questions brutally honestly.

You Are 24% Sociopath |
 From time to time, you may be a bit troubled and a bit too charming for your own good. It’s likely that you’re not a sociopath… just quite smart and a bit out of the mainstream! |
I don’t know why my finger is on the pulse of the Former Beauty Queen news this morning, but it is. This is ridiculous. Completely.
A 25-year-old, first-year teacher and former beauty queen faces criminal charges accusing her of having sex with an 18-year-old student.
Amy McElhenney represented Bexar County in the 2002 Miss Texas pageant and was a Spanish teacher and cross-country coach at Hebron High School in suburban North Dallas. She’s charged with having an improper relationship with a student. The second-degree felony is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
At 18, the Hebron student is one year past the age of consent in Texas.
But McElhenney was charged under a law banning sexual relationships between educators and students, even if the relationship is consensual and the student is of legal age.
I don’t think she will see one day in jail - but stranger things have happened.

You know, I would miss so much going on in the world if I did not do what I do for a living and spend my time scanning articles and RSS feeds. This is probably just me, but this just about made me spit coffee across the desk this morning:
From the South Bend Tribune:
Dear Chris,
I have a friend who’s afraid her 7-month-old baby girl is going to get too chubby. To me, the baby looks healthy, if not slightly skinny. Now that the baby is starting to crawl, my friend is pushing her to crawl all the time to get more exercise. I don’t think she’s keeping the baby from eating or would ever do that. My friend is very concerned with appearances and already hopes her daughter will be in beauty pageants like she was. I’m afraid that my friend’s attitude toward body image will later cause an eating disorder in her daughter. Is there anything I can do or say that might help without offending her?
Exercising Caution
Dear Caution,
As glittery grim as this baby’s future looks, there’s not much you can say that will help without offending. The next time you see your friend, you could say something like “Wow, Jon Benet is getting so much cuter now that she’s gaining a little weight.”
Ha! I guess she is. Poor little Jon Benet. Makes me mighty glad my kids aren’t ever going to have to deal with that end of the weight problem spectrum. That is the dangerous end, IMO.
I meant to keep this for posterity too, but just got it dug out of my chat logs. This is just a teensy snippet of the conversation between my friend Aaron and I on Mothers Day. Aaron has a unique way of saying things sometimes, but this one was particularly offensive funny, mostly because I am almost positive he was being sincere:
Aaron:
happy mothers day by the way
Aaron:
anyone who is as old as you and is a woman, must be a mom too
