It’s Friday, and I’m beat.
Everyone used to say to me, “Amanda, just when you think you have it all figured out with your baby, he’ll do something to throw you for a loop.”
I laughed.
I bragged about what an ah-maze-ing sleeper he is. I came in to work refreshed. I shrugged my shoulders when another Mom said to me, “Mine is still up all night!”
Now Baby Blogworthy’s brain is a-churnin’ and he wants nothing more than to a) sit in his crib and look around b) practice crawling at 3:30 and c) hang out in his Mama’s arms during the wee hours.
To these things, I say NOOOO! Say it ain’t so! Bring back that baby who fell right to sleep at 8:30 pm and woke up refreshed at 7:30 am. I know he’s in there, somewhere, just temporarily replaced with a child who knocks the white noise machine (which, by the way, is further out than he could possibly have reached, confirming my suspicion that he has go-go gadget arms)off the table beside his crib just for pure spite.
Baby Blogworthy’s current sleep regression isn’t the only thing I’m pulling out the NOOOOO button for these days.
This week, we learned Dirty Dancing, the classic dance movie that inspired millions of 1980s teens to proudly place Patrick Swayze posts on their walls will be getting a make-over. Although the characters haven’t been cast yet, it was announced that Kenny Ortega, choreographer for High School Musical will be directing the movie. Jennifer Grey, star of the original flick, can’t wait to see it.
If Zac Effron makes an appearance, I’ll cut someone.
On the small screen, George Lopez got his own “Say it ain’t so!” news when it was announced his late-night talk show, Lopez Tonight, was getting the ax. The show, in it’s second season, averages 400,000 viewers and was therefore cancelled due to low ratings. The curtain call for the show was last night.
Talk about not letting the door hit ya on the way out. What on earth are those 400k George Lopez fans going to do now? Sleep? Find something else to do while they get their drink on? I’d hate to think George Lopez single-handedly kept 400,000 lil hoolis off the street.
In more small screen news, Ali Fedotowsky, of “the last Bachelorette season I recapped” fame, has postponed her wedding to hottie and possible werewolf Roberto Martinez.
Is a break-up imminent? Say it ain’t so! Why, God, why do you allow beautiful couples who found love after one chose the other after 6 weeks, from a group of 25 other men with whom she dated/canoodled/swapped spit. WHY? Is there no justice in this world?
Actually, she’s postponing the wedding because of her recent leg surgery and doesn’t want to limp down the aisle. Plus, she hasn’t been able to work out and nobody wants a fat bride, right Kelly Osborne?
Oh. Well that’s not nearly as dramatic as I’d hoped. Bummer.
Finally, Kris Jenner, Mom of the famous K-dash sisters, has been pressuring her daughters to have more babies. More. MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
She told Us Weekly:
“I would love more grandchildren. [Kourtney Kardashian's son] Mason is the love of our lives, and he is so much fun, but there’s only one Mason to go around. It would be nice if we had some more.”
I think there’s one thing we can all agree on: The world needs lots of things — peace, the end of starvation, a Project Runway All Stars in which Austin Scarlett designs beautiful and unwearable dresses — but what it doesn’t need is more Kardashians.
Have a safe and happy weekend, friends!

Too funny! Oh and I didn’t know about George Lopez’s show being cancelled. Thanks for the round-up!

The last link was the best link i’ve ever clicked on.
Right? Its in my faavorites at work just in case.
No, we do NOT NOT NOT need more Kardashians. Spread the word! It must be stopped!
We need to start a petition!!

Ok, so if Zac Efron or any of the HSM kiddies are in the Dirty Dancing remake, I won’t watch it. I’m not entirely excited to hear they’re remaking it though… Patrick Swayze… you just can’t compete.
Anyway, the funny thing about Kris Jenner is on one of the recent KUWTK episodes, she said she wants Kourtney to get married before having more kids. I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon, and who can blame her. I wouldn’t want to marry Scott either!
Can’t wait for Project Runway All Stars!
Happy Friday and cheers to the full moon that’s on the rise…
Cheers to the full moon….oh man…I feel sorry for whoever is on call!! I don’t know, I feel like it is almost disrespectful to Patrick Swayze to remake it. It was one of his standout roles that he’s know best for….and why mess with a good thing!?

You should be ok with Zac Efron. He’s trying to follow a more Leo like career (why he dropped out of Footloose way back when). I like seeing the dancers I’ve gotten to know through SYTYCD and other reality dance shows, where they actually have talent, make it in to these movies. Kenny, the new star of Footloose, was on the show Dance Life on MTV way back when with Blake from SYTYCD Season 1. Anyramble, I’m really excited about Footloose because of him. I was not happy they were remaking it originally.

You know, I typically really love dance/singing movies, and you raise a good point — with all the talent from SYTYCD and similar shows, they have a whole new group to choose from. I hate when they use the same big stars with marginal talent in those areas.
I am really nervous about this Dirty Dancing remake. It is seriously my all time favorite movie and I’m terrified they’re going to ruin it for future generations!!! I mean look at the track record of remakes: The Parent Trap terrible. Yours Mine and Ours terrible. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yes, I can’t think of any classics that were better once they were re-made!
I love your celeb posts, had no idea Alli was postponing the wedding. I am totally addicted to the Bachelor/Bachelorette even though it is the dumbest show ever. Hope you get to sleep this weekend!

Well, got at least one day where he slept in till 7:30…of course now he’s REFUSING to nap! Figures! I also LOVE Bachelorette, but wasn’t able to watch the past two seasons.

I’ve heard pressuring people for grandkids makes them super ready to procreate.

I would LOVE to see a Project Runway: All Stars season! Woah! What a fantastic idea! You should copyright that idea and sell it to Lifetime. In yo’ FACE, Bravo!
I wish I could have beat them to that idea, but it’s already in the works….BONUS for me! I do love me some Project Runway.
Yes, I might just visit on #BlogBoycottDay just to catch up on my celebrity news.
Plus? I learn about a whole new Project Runway?! YAY!!!!
So worth breaking the #BlogBoycottDay Rules.
Julie recently posted..#BlogBoycottDay: What I’m doing today…
Right!? I’m so glad. I always get the sads when the season is over. I really love PR.
I’m boycotting the Dirty Dancing remake. I will not see it. Ever.
Ever Ever Ever Ever.
Hollywood ruins everything.

AGREED. Why on earth do they need a remake? What’s so wrong with the original? I think they have just run out of good ideas.
Twitter: HStayingAfloat!
These are great!!
I simply WILL NOT watch the new Dirty Dancing on principal alone. There has only, and will only ever be one Jonny!
Hopes@Staying Afloat! recently posted..Branching Out With a Little Bird
So true. Unfortunately, the kids who are going to watch it wont’ even know the original. Sad.
I’m ok with Zac Efron. I used to hate on HSM big time and then I was bored one day and watched all 3 on demand. Surprisingly, I didn’t find them as annoying as Id thought they’d be. And as he has gotten older, dare I say he’s turned into a little hot tie.
That said, I’m not into a remake of Dirty Dancing.
For one, I kind of shutter at the thought of them remaking a movie I saw in my youth. It makes me feel old.
And why remake a movie that isn’t even that old??
I don’t think it would be my cup of tea.
As for the Kardashians…They really need to stop multiplying.

You can’t remake Dirty Dancing. I’ve been upset about this all week. And postponing the wedding? I had no idea! Yes, I’m addicted to the Bachelor/Bachelorette. Don’t judge!

Sorry to hear that Baby Blogworthy’s sleep habits have regressed! NOT sorry about Lopez getting cancelled. More Kardashians? The thought is so depressing. It reminds me of the movie Multiplicity. Like maybe every time another Kardashian is multiplied, the brain functions become less and less..

Good point! I feel like they are trying to take over the world somehow. It’s terrifying.

Good luck on the sleep thing. I know how much it sucks when kids don’t sleep through the night.
And the Kardashians don’t need to have any more kids for awhile. I think the one is enough.
Jessica recently posted..My War Story
Well, luckily he slept last night all night except for waking up for just a minute or two around 11. He was awake playing in his crib at 7!
It is sad that they feel like they need to remake something that is sooooo good already! There was a comment during the SYTYCD finale, that Kenny Ortega judged, that he would love to work with Melanie (America’s newest favorite dancer). She wouldn’t be bad, but still it is the principle of a remake.
I hope Baby Blogworthy is just going through a phase and will be happy to sleep all night again for you soon!

Ok, I’m glad you informed me of the Dirty Dancing biz, but now I think I am going to have a panic attack. They can’t. They CANNOT ruin that movie. It shall not be permitted. That would be like butchering Grease–of wait, Michelle Pfeiffer already did that. Dang.
PS–Baby Blogworthy is about to do something big. Their sleep schedules disrupt right before they reach a huge milestone. I read this, then got proof:Zach has always been an excellent sleeper, and about the month before he started walking, he started waking up in the middle of the night. He didn’t even do that as a newborn. So there ya have it. Just be opatient. It will pass.
