Jon and Kate Plus... Publicity!

I don't know about yall, but I have never seen a TV family with more drama! I LOVE Jon and Kate Plus 8 (which, in this post, will be called JK8)! I have always admired Kate's iron-fist ruling mentality. I think that's the only way she can survive! Unfortunately, while her kids are well cared for, Jon sometimes gets the short end of the stick.

It breaks my heart to hear about their troubles, but come on. What did they expect?! When you put your life in the spotlight like that, you are bound to expose a few skeletons in the closet. Whether or not he had an affair, they still have problems. While I would love to feel sorry for them, it's hard when they are TELEVISING(!)their marraige counseling. There goes my sympathy, right out the window!

Tell me what you think about it!

Lovey,

Katherine

Baby #4... Where's the Baby Weight?!

Hold the phone. Since when is Heidi Klum allowed to have more children without gaining an ounce?! With every child, she has bounced back so quickly it is UNNERVING. I gain more weight when I'm stressed than than she does when she's pregnant.

I don't know about you, but I think she's already perfect, why rub it in our faces!?

And YES. She is pregnant in this picture.

Anywho, I'm so happy she is procreating, she always has adorable children!


Lovey!

AN ADDICTION.

I have an addiction. I compulsively check my PO Box for my weekly and monthly magazine subscriptions and am CONSTANTLY disappointed!

Right now, I subscribe to Vanity Fair, US Weekly, InStyle, and People. So sad, I know. BUT! It is much better than impulse buying at the grocery store check-out line... those suckers can get expensive!

Vanity Fair: Such a great magazine! Even my boyfriend, Ryan, can find an article he likes! A great mix of couture fashion, current events, and historic tales- like the brilliant robbery of the Mona Lisa.

US Weekly- One of my favorites. Hands-down. Filled with all sorts of random information that you just can't tear your eyes away from.

InStyle- I LOVE their "recessionista" type stories. Cheap make-up tricks, stylish steals, and always a great cover story.

People- As you've read in previous blogs, this is my go-to mag. They have started new articles about ways to save in the recession (gardening tips) and highlight an American who is making a difference. And of course, fill you with all of the celebrity news you can imagine.

Because I work nightside, one of my favorite parts of my day is turning the TV on to TLC, climbing into bed, and cuddling up with a good gossip mag.

When my magazines are late, it completely throws me off. Countless times, my friends have had to convince me that, no, post office employees are NOT stealing my magazines and they should arrive shortly.

What magazines to yall read? Any suggestions?

Lovey!

Farrah Fawcett Hospitalized

Farrah Fawcett is, no doubt, one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood history. Who hasn't seen the infamous poster plastered on teen boys walls back in the day?

On Thursday, Farrah was hospitalized in Los Angeles for anal cancer. Watching such a beautiful person go through something so tragic is hard to see. I know many are affected by cancer, and it's never easy to hear about peoples struggle with the illness.

Apparently, Farrah was hospitalized for a blood clot she developed after a recent procedure in Germany.

For now, Farrah released a statement saying thank you to all of her fans, and for those loyal followers to keep hope.

For the past 2 1/2 years, cancer is what Farrah has been in the tabloids for. She has battled her cancer with beauty and grace and we wish her all the best!

Have You Seen This Man?

A viewer just called who swears she saw Nicholas Cage in Abilene over the weekend at the Abilene Medical Mall.

Sounds strange, but stranger things have happened -- right? Could a hollywood celeb be stopping in Abilene to get some surgery on the down low?

Did you see Cage? Have you heard about him visiting town? Let us know!

The Bachelor Throws A Curveball!!

I have been home sick for the past couple of days, which gave me ample time to catch up with, what some may call, "junk" tv. I watch anything from Everyday Italian on Food Network to CSI on CBS. I mean it- EVERYTHING. So as you can imagine, my sick days were incredibly busy. :)

To my surprise, my cold coincided with the season finale of the Bachelor. Yay! I get to cuddle up in bed with my cough drops and gossip magazines and indulge in 2 hours of broken hearts and engagement rings. Boy, was I wrong.

For those of you who missed this historic event, let me fill you in.

Jason, the Bachelor, had Melissa and Molly to choose from during the final rose ceremony. Easy cheesy right? Just you wait.

Jason chooses Melissa, proposes, and they skip off on their merry way. BUT! Once they have the "After the Final Rose Ceremony" show, Jason throws a curveball, breaks up with Melissa, and asks for Molly to have him back. WHAT?! My immune system was NOT strong enough for this. After a few frantic phone calls to my best friend, Mary, we talked it out and realized that you absolutely have to sell your soul to be on that show.

Melissa left heartbroken, and Jason and Molly are living happily ever after. Suddenly, TV life became far more complicated than normal life! Thank goodness...

Lovey!

Obama Family Mania!

I don't know about yall, but if I were the Obama family, I would be getting a little sick of the paparazzi following me around all the time! For what seems like all eternity, web sites have plastered pictures of the Obama girls... For instance, 10-year-old Malia "playing photographer" on her mothers birthday... so? What child isn't dying to use their parents electronics?!

Not only that, but the article continued on with every intimate detail about Michelle's birthday- from a spur of the moment dance party with her daughters, to the cake she ate on board an Amtrak train.

Now, the Obama's are facing a new threat to their girls privacy. A doll company has produced Obama girls dolls. I too would be furious if my family was being exploited in such a way.

While I know it would be an incredible experience to grow up in the White House, I would never trade my upbringing for the world. My most precious childhood memories are moments I shared with my parents, my siblings, and my family and friends. And they were private.

I hope for both of the girls they too will be able to share some of those memories with their parents, without us looking over their shoulders.

Lovey!
