Gossip Girls
Hooray for Hollywood!
As I’m sure you’ve figured out, we here at the L.C. take turns blogging. This month, I’ve got Thursdays. Which means today is my day to post something. And I’ve got nothing. Seriously. Zip, zero, nada. I haven’t even left the house yet.
Instead, Sam and I spent the morning watching a friend’s baby. Or, rather, I spent the morning watching the baby, and Sam spent the morning trying to dislodge the baby from my lap, which he considers his territory. And while holding a sleepy, warm, cuddly baby definitely made me all googly-eyed and broody, trying to calm a crying baby while wrestling with a two-and-a-half year old quickly sobered me up.
Once the baby toddled off home, I got online and began browsing around, hoping for inspiration for today's blog, but still nothing. Unless ya'll want to talk about Iraq, or Iran, or CIA leaks, or sdf wer;lk 09olff0324j,jkxz zzzzzzzzzzz . . . Huh? What? Oh. Sorry. Must have dozed off there for a minute.
Hollywood, I thought. Hollywood will not let me down. Those wacky kids over on the left coast are always up to something.
So I browsed over to eonline.com, and score! Our celeb friends are as dependably kooky as ever. Here's a sampling:
(1) Britney. She’s in trouble again. This time, the pop-mama was investigated by child-welfare officials after son, Sean Preston, took a tumble out of his highchair and suffered a hairline fracture.
(2) Madge and Guy. Madonna’s father-in-law has likely forfeited his Christmas invitation, after blabbing to the papers that Madonna and Guy’s marriage is on the rocks. "Guy's career is not going well," John Richie said. "His last two films have flopped, so it's a pressure.” Gee, thanks Dad.
(3) Tori Spelling is an alleged home-wrecker. She’s ditching her husband just in time to marry, erm, somebody else’s husband.
(4) Gwyneth had a baby. Named him Moses. Meh. Better than Apple, I guess.
So . . . Britney – misunderstood or missing a few marbles? Will Madonna and Guy go the way of Madonna and Sean? Would Donna approve of Tori? Moses . . . no, seriously, Moses?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

That is so funny - we were flipping through channels the other night and I saw THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and said to Navy Guy, "who would name their kid Moses?"
sigh.

You know who is also homewrecker? Kristy Swanson. She hooked up with her (married) skating partner from "Stars on Ice."
And also, Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro are said to be on the rocks. They deny it, but then, who doesn't?
Oh! And supposedly, Gwen Stefani's baby is going to be a girl.
And Tom Cruise continues to scare the living daylights out of me.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming,

Yep... someone should take poor Katie Holmes away from scary, cult member Tom Cruise! Silent childbirth? Adult-sized pacifier?!
As for Britney... I think it's funny she's one of those moms who say "I'll never..." or "My son will never..." only to have to choke on those words. She's always come off as way immature for her age and I think it's obvious she's in way over her head. Not quite like playing dress up or with a baby doll, is it Britney?
I'm a christian. I understand liking biblical names but Moses? Makes me think of a 900 old man, not a child, let alone infant!

Moses, eh? I know a little girl named Noah--I kid you not!! Middle name is Harley, so I guess she can go either way with that--you know, holy roller or biker b****h. (And knowing her mother, I would lean heavily towards the biker side! *snort*) But what about Julia Roberts' twins? Aren't their names something like Phineas and Hazel? (DD#2 LIKES the name Hazel, if you can believe that.) I just thought they were extremely old-fashioned myself and a little odd to boot! I would have thought Gwyneth might have stayed with the whole Garden of Eden theme and named the boy Adam. *snicker* Apple, Adam, snake in the grass--oh never mind!
Oh yeah, and just a note--I GOT MY LICENSE BACK!!! Happy dancing around the house here... Whitney, if you ever need fodder for a blog, feel free to borrow from MY life--always one kind of catastrophe or another going on! I am happy to share, believe me!! *grin*

I'm terrified of Tom Cruise too. In fact, when I answer those questions in my blog (you know, a list of 50 facts only 300 of your closest friends should know) I always list him as one of my fears. Spiders, snakes, clowns, tom cruise. Scaaaaaary stuff.
Do you think Nicole Kidman was trying to tell us something when she agreed to star in Stepford Wives?????

Katie Holmes is at least an adult who could walk away, the one I feel sorry/scared for is that baby. He/she has no say so on the weird stuff Daddy Tom is going to inflict.

MC: Strangely, I read an article just before I read the blog tonight where Cruise was defending himself against just these criticisms. Honestly, Tom Cruise trying to justifiy his behavior is scarier and more repugnant than the accusations themselves.

Strangest celeb baby name I've ever heard of is Frank Zappa's (may he rest in peace) daughter's name.
Moon Unit Zappa.
I mean, why?

Moses? She named her baby Moses? I wouldn't even name my child Moses and I threatened to name my first born Menachem Thor. It seemed appropriate for a Jewish-Norwegian baby (or a Jewegian, as my sister calls him).

Jewegian. LOL!
That's all. ;+)

Why didn't I think of Moses, in case this kid is a boy?? Moses. And people might even call him Moe for short, bringing to mind the sleazy bartender from the Simpsons. Moses. Perfect!
