Pop Culture Potpourri: On The Mend and A New Housewife

ON THE MEND Leave it to a celebrity to find a way to make money off of a quasi-tragedy. Fans of Stephen Colbert know how much the 43-year-old comedian has been milking his wrist injury over the past few weeks. A couple of months ago Colbert took a dive while running around his New York studio before tapping an episode. As a result, he was fitted with a cast and debuted it on his program’s July 26 episode. Since then, Colbert has squeezed every drop of material out of the injury. Seriously, the guy has come up with some of … Continue reading

From “Desperate Housewife” to Expectant Mother

Well, that didn’t take long! It seems like just yesterday I was blogging about “Desperate Housewives” star Marcia Cross’ summer wedding to “sweetie” Tom Mahoney. Now, word comes that just a couple months after they tied the knot, the couple is expecting their first child together. PEOPLE Magazine says it has learned exclusively and the actress’s rep confirmed that Cross is due to give birth in April. The 44-year-old actress married her 48-year-old stockbroker husband in June after dating for more than a year… and it looks like the celebration will continue with the arrival of their first born. When … Continue reading

Celebrity Baby News—The Truth Revealed

Prior to getting pregnant, “Desperate Housewives” star Marcia Cross told a number of entertainment publications that she longed for kids for years. Now she is the mother of 2-month-old twin girls and says she couldn’t be happier. But, that’s not all she is revealing. The actress recently posed for a multi-page spread in PEOPLE magazine and “opened up” (see: spilled her guts) about how she’s head over heels in love with her new daughters Eden and Savannah. In addition, she finally revealed the information many tabloid reporters were clamoring for prior to the double birth—how she conceived the two fair-skinned … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: New Babies and New Beginnings

GIRL POWER! They may have arrived two months early, but by all accounts, they are doing very well. I’m referring to the fraternal twin daughters “Desperate Housewives” actress Marcia Cross gave birth to two days ago. According to news reports, the girls named Eden and Savannah were born at a Los Angeles hospital without any major health problems. The girls are the first children for 44-year-old Cross and her 49-year-old stockbroker husband. The couple married last June and now, less than nine months later, they have successfully doubled the size of their family. Frankly, I was a bit shocked by … Continue reading

Wasting Time.

I know I do it, but I can’t help it. There are so many ways I can make better use of my time, but I find myself starting from scratch every project. For example, if I have a mailing, it would not be hard for me to prepare everything in advance so all I have to do is put on the address, tape it shut and head out the door. I spend way too much time looking for each individual flyer I want to put into it, printing out things I can’t find, adding packing pellets, writing a note, etc. … Continue reading

Hollywood Stars Denying Pregnancy Rumors

This blog usually features announcements by celebrities who are happy to report that they are months away from welcoming a new bundle of joy into their families. It’s not often that you get a blog dedicated to Hollywood A-listers who are publicly announcing that they are NOT pregnant. But, that’s exactly what two female stars are doing. Former “Alias” star, Jennifer Garner-–whose daughter with husband Ben Affleck, Violet, turned 1 yesterday-– has spent the past few days dispelling rumors that she is expecting another baby. “No, everyone calm down. Nobody’s pregnant,” the actress told reporters. The 34-year-old actress does admit: … Continue reading

Live Like Longoria

Did you watch the season premiere of “Desperate Housewives” last night? I remember the first season the show was on the air. It didn’t take long for it to become one of the most popular series on television and subsequently skyrocket the actresses who play the “housewives” to international fame. The media hawks the women of Wisteria Lane on and off the set. By now I am sure you know that Marcia Cross (who plays uptight Bree Van De Camp) is not only a newlywed, in real life, but is also pregnant with twins; that months ago, Teri Hatcher (Susan … Continue reading

Celebrity Baby News—Hollywood Couples About To See Double

I recently blogged about “Desperate Housewives’” star Marcia Cross’ pregnancy. Now word comes that Cross and new husband Tom Mahoney are reportedly expecting twins. According to several entertainment publications, the 44-year-old actress underwent In Vitro Fertilization treatment earlier this year in the hope of conceiving her first child. Cross announced that she is due to give birth in next April, but did not confirm that she will be welcoming twins. Rather, her publicist would only say that Cross is “indeed pregnant.” However, fans of Cross – who plays uptight Bree Van de Kamp on the hit ABC show – know … Continue reading
