It's been a long time since I shared some headlines, so here you go:
- Amy Poehler and Will Arnett Expecting a Baby (The tot is bound to be one funny baby! Amy, go for the epidural! LOL)
- Miley Cyrus says Vanity Fair photo spread embarrasses her (She is 15... where exactly were her parents? As the mother of a young daughter, I'm quite sure I would have stopped the photo shoot at, "Miss Cyrus, please take off your shirt.")
- R.E.M., Nine Inch Nails to play Voodoo festival (I heard the new R.E.M. CD, and it's awesome. Would LOVE to hear them live again. Michael and the crew put on an amazing show.)
- 'Idol' coaches panel: The finalists mine Neil Diamond (The Legend coaches the newbies. Can't wait to watch and to read Dixie's recap! Sweet Caroline...)
- Call girl in Eliot Spitzer scandal files $10 million lawsuit (Wow, this is better than any made-for-tv movie. This headline screams for a link to my favorite mommyblog post on the topic.)
- Oprah Spills Secrets of Tom Cruise Interview (Oprah AND Tom? Two of my favorites...)
Welcome back, Laptop Television Mom!
Re: Miley. Maybe they were trying to recreate the pure moment of birth (when the baby had lipstick and concealer), when child is wrapped in a blanket (ummm or satin sheet) and displayed for all the world to see (inappropriately, that is).
Sincerely tho - I wouldn't have scrutinized as harshly if the parents hadn't tried to shirk responsibility. Why couldn't they say something like... We got caught up in the excitement of an (adult) artistic moment that did not seem so intimate at the moment with hordes of assistants, make up and hair artists and photographers surrounding us and used poor judgement on how far to take it... I don't know, SOMETHING to show that they're willing to take some sort of responsibility for approving the photos.
