How come Britney Spears doesn't have to take Parenting Classes?

Cause she clearly needs some! Check out this story of her almost dropping her baby son on his noggin because she was holding a drink in one hand and almost tripped on her too-high shoes. At least she did not spill her drink. Whew!

To get licensed as a foster mother, I had to get fingerprinted, answer questions about masturbation, buy a fire extinguisher that weighed over 5 pounds and sit through hours of parenting classes and videos. Britney just had to have sex. Granted, it was with KFed, so that is its own particular chore, but still.

That girl either needs to hire a nanny, stop carrying her child, or stop carrying her child while she also carries a drink and wears silly shoes.

Oh and the New York Times reports that one of the most popular girls' names is Nevaeh. It's Heaven spelled backwards. Yup yup.

Happy Birthday

George Clooney!!!!!!!!!!

Guess what I learned this weekend?

So I wanted to make brownies. The recipe called for two eggs but I only had one. So I made the brownies with just one egg. Guess what I learned? That makes the brownies really, really hard and crunchy. But they are still tasty! Kind of like biscotti. But square, instead of long and rectangular. They are good when I dunk them in tea. I will make you some hard, crunchy-biscotti-like brownies if you ask me nicely and I only have one egg.

At least I don't get spanked at my job

If you ever think your job is bad, read this article. It could be worse. You could get spanked at work as part of "camaraderie-building" exercises.

I Would Worship at the Church of U2

Many chruches are now incorporating U2's music into their services. How come MY church doesn't have a U2 Eucharist????

George Clooney stalks Gawker

See? This is yet another reason why I love and admire George Clooney. The Gawker website recently created a real-time map of celebrity sightings in NYC. You would think I would be on the website constantly, searching for my love, GC, and where he might be in real time. But I am not. I have a life and so does GC. If we run into each other, it shall be due to Kismet, not a celebrity stalking website.

George, because he is clever, urged many publicists to flood the Gawker website with bogus sightings of himself and other celebrities. I think this is a good idea. Let me tell you something, I don't really WANT to see GC coming out of the men's room or disgusting from a workout at the gym. I want to see him all clean and in a tux like at the Oscars.

Great True Crime story

Click here to read a great true crime story by my friend Missy Stoddard at the Sun-Sentinel newspaper in Florida. She covers courts there and wrote about the case of a teenager who stabbed her older boyfriend to death. The story involves murder, motels, teen pregnancy and a BBQ fork used as a weapon.
