Why Toddlers and Jeeps Don’t Mix

Earlier this week a father driving a Jeep made a U-turn. Unfortunately, his 2-year-old son did not. According to reports, the toddler, who was strapped inside his carseat, which was placed in the back of the Jeep, flew out of the vehicle when the dad executed the turn. Fortunately (or should I say miraculously), the little boy did not suffer life-threatening injuries, at least according to a fire battalion chief in Wisconsin, who happened to witness the entire incident unfold right before his eyes. Chief Matt Haerter told local reporters that he saw the boy fly out of the Jeep … Continue reading

Britney’s Reformation Goes Up in Smoke

Just when you thought Britney Spears was finally getting her life back together the media sends up smoke signals that all may not be well at Casa Crazy. The media is fired up, but the smoke is actually coming from Spears… via a cigarette. According to reports, the pop star’s parenting skills have come under question once again after she was photographed exposing her young sons to second-hand smoke. Last week members of the paparazzi shot Ms. Meltdown standing in a bikini next to her 2-year-old son Sean Preston lighting up and then taking a few drags before turning her … Continue reading

Britney Spears Sitcom Star?

Will the real Britney Spears please step forward? It’s no secret that the 26-year-old pop star is guest starring on an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but who would have imagined the response from her co-stars would be so, well, uh, positive? Apparently, the reforming pop wreck is actually acting… normal. But is it all an act? According to news reports, the singer arrived on the series’ set promptly at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected back later today to finish shooting her scene. Show producers say Spears is portraying a receptionist in … Continue reading

Britney Loses Kids Then Goes Tanning

Britney Spears didn’t have to give up physical custody of her two young sons until tomorrow at noon, according to a judge’s order. However, the pop princess chose to hand them off to Kevin Federline’s bodyguard yesterday. (Poor kids.) Actually, according to video shot by the masses of paparazzi that hound her on a daily basis, Spears took 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James through the drive-thru at a Carl’s Jr. in L.A. at 12:02 p.m. yesterday and surrendered the boys to K-Fed’s bodyguard three minutes later. (No word on whether the burger run was for Brit or the … Continue reading

Britney Spears Loses Custody Of Her Sons

It finally happened… after months of speculation and weeks of hard work by her ex’s attorney… Britney Spears has been ordered to hand over custody of her sons to Kevin Federline by noon Wednesday “until further notice of the court.” The ruling was made just a few hours ago by an L.A. judge during a closed-door hearing. A few weeks ago the same judge found that Spears is a “habitual, frequent and continuous” user of alcohol and controlled substances, and ordered her to submit to random twice-weekly testing. But, allowed her to continue to share 50-50 custody with Fed-Ex. So … Continue reading

Britney Spears—Free At Last

“Free at last. Free at last.” I can only imagine that Britney Spears likely uttered a phrase similar to that upon checking out of Malibu’s Promises treatment facility on Tuesday. Yes, she’s out… and about. Several media sources have reported that the “new and improved Britney” (we’ll just see about that) has been quietly going about her life since completing her stint in rehab. According to a Los Angeles newspaper, Spears’ two young sons and their father Kevin Federline visited her the day she was sprung from Promises (though reports say that the children will remain with K-Fed until “he … Continue reading

How To Dress Like A Rapper and How One Rapper Is Trying To Dress LESS Like One

You’ve seen them at the mall, on the streets, in parks, and in restaurants… I’m talking about those kids who model the rapper-inspired baggy jeans with waistbands that hit around mid-knee, flashy chain-link necklaces that hit around mid-navel, and baseball caps tilted in angles that defy gravity. One fashion maven described the look as the “scourge of the Earth.” I just consider it a trend and pray my own children will have the good sense not to dare don such an outfit in front of me. I’m not fond of the look, but I happened to be at Sam’s Club … Continue reading

All-Star Returns

Just when you thought Wisteria Lane was down a man-eater, word has it Nicollette Sheridan has agreed to reprise her role as the cunning husband-stealing Edie Britt on ABC’s “Desperate Housewives.” Sheridan was written off the show at the end of the fourth season, but according to reports, the actress will be back sashaying in and out of the wives’ lives in the forthcoming season. And for all of you “Desperate Housewives” fans, who were getting sick of seeing Edie steal the men of Wisteria Lane from their respective mates, producers of the show just revealed that Sheridan’s character will … Continue reading

Celebrity Weekend—It’s a Wrap

It was a great weekend for Britney Spears. The pop princess steered clear of car accidents, her house in Malibu is still standing, oh, and she regained visitation rights of her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James. The singer was snapped cruising around L.A. in her damaged white Mercedes with her children securely strapped in their safety seats (bonus points for Brit) and a court-appointed monitor in the front passenger seat. This after a judge temporarily suspended her vitiation rights last Wednesday. Media reports say the judge removed her rights after the trainwreck was unable to be reached to schedule … Continue reading

Star Athletes Score Big With New Additions

Shortly after Barry Bonds hit his 756th home run last night he rounded the bases and took his 17-year-old batboy son, Nikolai into his arms. After an emotional embrace the San Francisco Giants’ slugger’s mother, two daughters and wife joined father and son on the field. Bonds broke the home run record in front of a 43,000-strong home crowd that included his godfather, Hall of Famer Willie Mays. So the momentous occasion truly was a family affair. In tribute to Bonds’ feat I thought it would be appropriate to salute some other famous athletes on their achievements off the field—namely … Continue reading
