Wednesday we go after a celeb
Every day we look at the news, something new has happened. This summer we were treated to the implosion of a family empire. The Duggar Family was touted as a devout brood who was more than happy to break some sort of breeding record. With “19 Kids and Counting”, the Duggars were the model family for the Quiverfull movement that […]
Read moreMonday was Halloween . This is one of my favorite days, aside it from being my brother’s birthday, I enjoy the fact that it is the one day a year we are expected to be playful, funny and irreverent. Halloween gives us permission to be creative and bold. However, due to some rather disturbing news from the land of celebrity, Halloween was marred by the announcement of Kim Kardashian’s divorce from her husband Kris Humphries. I don’t know about you but my Halloween was ruined.
Read moreDo you know what you call too much pride? Narcissism! It is good to have a healthy self esteem. It is a good thing to value yourself and to feel you are worthy of good things. It is good to appreciate yourself, mind, body and spirit, as a gift to the world; unique like everyone else. However, there is a line that is being crossed on a daily basis that is disturbing. We have mentioned it before but it bears repeating. STOP TAKING NAKED PICTURES OF YOURSELF!
Read moreHave you ever noticed how there are only two types of celebrity? The first type, or what we call the implosive type, have a tough time dealing with the attention and tend to turn to substances or serial relationships or breaking the law to deal with all the media. The second type seems, well, for lack of a better term, normal. Why is that? What makes some people freak out and others handle success differently? What makes Chachi normal and Cindy from Brady Bunch an alcoholic?
Read moreIt’s Wednesday and usually Lee does the Celebrity Smackdown but this is husband week and I am the husband. Also, there are so many interesting examples to choose from among the rich and famous that I want to try my hand at smacking down.
Read moreWednesdays are for smacking down celebrities but this week we are dedicating it to be the best wives possible. The good news is that there are so many great examples of what not to do as a wife from the land of celebrity that I thought we could possibly get some good use out of their less than perfect behavior. Before you get your panties in a wad I will explain that it takes two to tango and that the responsibility for the failure or success of a marriage rests on both partners. So let us begin with the first wife:

It is possible these books offend our sensibility like someone putting iron filings into our food. We think its gross misrepresentation. We are talking about the ever popular unqualified people writing books on dating and relationships.

Read moreExcuse me, Mr. Celebrity, we are discussing manners this week and let’s face it, you guys aren’t known for your etiquette. Hollywood is more known for self-entitled, demanding, petulant adult children who wanted no foam and soymilk in their latte with a thimble full of vanilla and a Truvia. This is what we expect so going after them in a smackdown is as fun as clubbing baby seals in a kiddie pool. However, it seems that today rudeness is a way for people to gain notoriety. If you can’t be famous, be infamous!
Read moreCelebrities get away with murder, literally and figuratively. We expect celebrities to do all sorts of crazy things because it isn’t enough for them to entertain us on the small and big screens or on our radios and I-pods. We expect them to overdose and cheat and lie and drink and outrage and get nekkid and convert and transform and make comebacks. We want our celebs with a side of whacky. Not too much where they’ll end up in obscurity but just bad enough that when they stop doing their whacky stuff and make a good movie, we start making calls to the Vatican demanding beatification. ‘He stopped smoking smack and hasn’t been arrested in months!’, we proclaim. However, we are a fickle bunch. We definitely get a little weird when the celebrity starts proselytizing. ‘Hey Mr. Movie Star, don’t preach to me about your monkey gods!’
