Alright, let’s get real here. Who is reading today, raise your hand?
I’m pretty sure most of you are off work today for Veteran’s Day. I mean, except for Moms, who are never really off work. Actually, now that I think about it, I’m not so much off work as I am working my second full time job that pays nothing, requires me to wipe someone else’s butt and where my boss screams at me for no reason.
Motherhood. It’s so sexy.
You want to talk motherhood? You don’t know nothin’ bout birthin’ no babies compared to Michelle Duggar, matriarch, wife of Jim Bob Dugger and chief incubator from TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, who announced this week she is pregnant with the couple’s 20th baby.
Although her youngest daughter, 2-year-old Josie, was born prematurely and suffered a myriad of health problems, Michelle Duggar continues to further populate the earth with someone named Jim Bob and feels OK about it. The couple claimed if a fear of a high-risk pregnancy kept them from having children, they would have stopped at number 5, when Michelle was first diagnosed with preeclampsia. Well how on earth would they have gotten a reality show then, hmm?
Is Jessica Simpson walking in the same sensible shoes as Michelle Duggar? Jessica told People she would love to have more kids someday, even though she’s currently still pregnant with her first. Call me after 24 straight hours of an amazing no-sleep baby, then we’ll talk about how many kids you want, Jessica. She also said pregnancy is a “spiritual time” and when she’s tired she asks fiance Eric Johnson to “rub her”. If peeing 18 times a day is spiritual then yes….pregnancy is spiritual.
You know what they say — the couple who rubs together, stays together.
A couple who would never be so crass to talk about rubbing in public? Prince William and Kate Middleton (Princess Catherine to you) who are in the middle of a baby bump watch of royal proportions. The newly crowned Princess has been raising eyebrows about her bun-in-the-oven state by first refusing to eat peanut paste during a royal appearance in Denmark last week and then appearing in a loose fitting gown to a palace dinner. Because if you’re not pregnant, you have to always wear tight clothes and eat anything people put in front of you. (Only the second applies to me.)
What else is going on in the celebrity gossip world other than “oh, not a whole lot. Been sort of a boring week this week,”?
- Kim Kardashian realized she was falling off the first page of news results and flew to Minnesota to reportedly talk to soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries.
- Oh and? Kim Kardashian‘s ex-publicist Johnathan Jaxson claims the fairytale wedding was a sham and that the idea she didn’t make money off of it is “foolish”. I know. What a shock.
- Radar Online broke the story that Justin Bieber‘s maybe mama MariahYeater was arrested for battery in 2007 for attacking a thrift store clerk and sending her to the hospital. What a class act. Justin Bieber should be honored to be the father of that baby.
- Director Brett Ratner stepped down as producer of this year’s Academy Awards telecast after a hate-speech filled interview for his new movie, Tower Heist, and a sexually explicit interview on the Howard Stern show. woah, woah, woah! says the Oscars people. We want it edgy, but not that edgy.
- Eddie Murphy also stepped down from the Academy Awards host. I didn’t get the memo that Eddie Murphy was still relevant. Must have gotten lost in the mail. Billy Crystal will replace him. For the ninth time. So. Yay?
- Piers Morgan has decided to leave America’s Got Talent after six years. Feisty British talent scouts, the line forms here.

I have no words for the Duggars.
Or anyone whose last name is Kardashian.
Or Simpson.
Or Bieber.
Have a great day off paid work!

I’m off work today… but I’m at work… because I’d rather work on Veteran’s Day than the day after Thanksgiving. And if Kate Middleton’s “loose-fitting” dress is loose? I’d hate to hear how my clothing is classified.

I saw on Yahoo News that Avril Lavigne got the shit beat out of her. No pictures though. LA-lame. Pictures or it didn’t happen, folks.
Jessica Simpson, the only thing spiritual about pregnancy is when you begin begging God for relief.

Michelle Dugger’s gotta stop having “relations” with Jim Bob. Seriously, no one should have relations with someone named Jim Bob. Just isn’t right.
Hmmm… I think I have a new goal in life now. To have pregnancy rumors start about me because I wear something loose fitting or don’t eat something specific.

In what world is that a “loose fitting” dress? People are insane. And what’s the deal with peanut paste? Was I not supposed to eat 3 peanut butter sandwiches a day while I was pregnant?

Your summation of motherhood made me realize something: At work I kiss butt, and at home I wipe butt.
My life is so glamorous.
The Duggars disgust me. That is all.
And Billy Crystal/Brian Grazer teaming up to do the Oscars is the best thing that could have happened to the entire telecast. As Anne Hathaway and James Franco proved last year, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
That said, I probably still won’t watch.

I’m certain Kim made money off that huge wedding that will probably still continue to be played on E non stop even after the divorce is finalized.

I just read my US Weekly a little bit ago, and did you know the other reason we’re supposed to believe Kate Middleton’s pregnant? She touched her belly the other day. At least that’s all it looked like to me. They said she was cradling her (non-)belly. I love celebrity gossip so much. I need to do an US Weekly post tomorrow. Love your comments about pregnancy – I don’t think Jessica should be planning her next pregnancy just yet!

I can’t believe it took me until Sunday to get my Friday fix from you. I have no idea who Eric Johnson is. Yes you are my only source of celeb news.
Jessica recently posted..How to Fall
As someone who had a high risk pregnancy, I worry about having a second. While I don’t admire Michelle Duggar and her husband, it is somewhat comforting that she didn’t let the pre-eclampsia stop her from being the baby machine she wanted to be.
