So happy you are okay and home and going to come out the other side even better than before. Take care and be well!
Ack-ack-ack-ack
Throughout much of my writing life, readers have noticed that I like burying the lede. I can't help it. I like the idea of a build-up and reveal. Wow 'em in the end, and you'll have a hit. That's not going to happen this time around, though. This lede is coming at ya, right between the ribs: La...
Stephanie: But did he use up at least a few of his goodwill credits with you?
Everyone else: Yes, I agree that Apple is the main culprit here... Do you think they heard he was in line and then had a confab that ended with the decision-- "Let's bring him in early so we can ALL get to meet him! SQUEEEE!!!"
Jason Bateman Subjected to iPhone 4 Technophiles' Jeers and Glaring
Not even the beloved star of Arrested Development can cut in line to get the new iPhone 4 without pissing off everyone in the vicinity. Damn movie stars and their infernal perks. *grumble, grumble* Jason Bateman has a lot of goodwill credits among the geek crowd for his role as Michael Bl...
Jeeeezzzzzz, there you go making all kinds of sense. Pffft, can't he embrace his movie star awesomeness just a tiny bit? For the fans??
Ethan Hawke Looks Suspiciously Like a Tired Parent
Ethan Hawke looked like a model for the Stars: They're Just Like Us! "miserable, tired, sweaty parent" spread when photographed out with his little one, Clementine Jane, the other day. C'mon, Ethan, sweeten up or just ask the nanny to come along next time, 'kay? Clementine Jane is Hawke's d...
Yes, yes, and yes. I love her and am constantly in awe at how amazing she looks. I mean acts. Whatever. She's hawt.
Nekkid Celebrities: Helen Mirren Gets NSFW in 'New York' Mag
I usually don't think it's particularly brave when actresses take their tops off for photographers. However, in a culture increasingly obsessed with youth and airbrushing the humanity away from even the most impossible-looking women, this pictorial of Helen Mirren is definitely brave. It's ...
Can't wait!!
Subtext Pr0n: The Poster for Mad Men Season 4
The premiere of the fourth season of Mad Men is still over a month away. But the folks behind the promotions for the show are experts at the long tease. The poster for the new season was just released yesterday and doctoral candidates in Media Studies programs all over the country have alread...

Why make it easy? Doesn't she need to milk this all summer long while she is filming her new reality show?
I think we should start taking bets on how many times Spencer will show up at their Malibu beach house drunk and whether or not a restraining order will be filed (by either of them) by the end of July.
I've got 20 bones on the restraining order.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Are Getting A Divorce: No, For Real
The Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt divorce has been reported, and then reported as fake, and then reported again. But no, you guys, this time, like totally, they are REALLY DOING IT. LIKE, FOR REAL. Heidi is so serious about this she hired a lawyer. No one hires a lawyer unless they ar...
Jennifer: Yes, that whole segment of him driving with Skeeter and then pulling into that farm for him to do his business was gold.
I hadn't thought of that before, regarding Taylor Kitsch's improv abilities. It makes his wooden turn as Gambit in the last X-Men movie make more sense, though. (I know, I know, the writers certainly didn't supply him with much material there.) And, wait or it... makes me love him even more.
Somebody help me with this Riggins problem, please?
Three Minute Recap: Friday Night Lights "In The Bag"
I barely know where to start, there was so much going on in Dillon this week, so let's just get straight to the best bits, shall we? Riggins, Riggins, Riggins, and, oh my succulent stars, Tim Riggins! How is it that, even as I grow ever more disheartened with the state of his hair (w...
Doctor's Wife: Yes, you have expressed your dismay of Tim's hair before and I couldn't agree more.
I agree with your thoughts on Vince's mom, it was pretty convenient for her to finally be off the couch and actually sober enough to make her appearance at school. Perhaps they needed this interlude to help clarify Vince's decision to hand his gun over to Eric? It may have been a bit cooked-up, but I'm a sucker for any addict-trying-to-make-good storyline, especially if her sweet demeanor is supposed to help inform us on Vince's nature. :)
Also, I figured that Luke's dad would be racist or at least leery of the oversized Tinker (sp?), but figured that maybe he is just too pragmatic to get worked up about that kind of thing when work needs to be done and an extra pair of hands shows up. Maybe it was too easy for FNL, but I could relate to the affirmation of a stranger making me feel better about my kids. I now feel like a terrible parent for relating to Luke's dad. Thanks for that. :^\ (Just kidding, sort of.)
And Billy?? Oh for the love of Pete... that guy is destined for shit and I don't like what I smelled in that scene. STAY AWAY, TIM!!!!!

Wow... I finished my first year at college, went off to work in Alaska for the summer feeling like I had the world by the tail, and then got my heart shattered into a million pieces over the summer in a doomed romance that it took me years to recover from.
Fuck 1991.
Revisiting June 1991
Ah, June - the month when the schools close forcing me to take care of my own children ALL. DAY. LONG. *hyperventilates* June is also the month where I go to buy my husband a father's day card only to be inundated with graduation cards reminding me that I graduated from high school almost 20 ...

Because I thought I was posting that other picture and the post went up with Simon instead, in case you missed wth I'm talking about.
No title
I feel like I just got Rick-Rolled! Watch out, I might Cowell you on twitter, if you're not paying attention. Wheee!

Pullemundie! I am still chuckling over that hilariously unfortunate name. I was addicted to Tetris, as well, Jen. I stopped playing when I kept seeing Tetris pieces falling down the sidebars in books while I was trying to read.
p.s. Damn, Sarah Lena looks good for an 85 year old man!
MamaPop Video Roundtable: Eaten By A Grue Edition
Our generation (the ones who sat around in the '80s thinking Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark was a cool name band) was probably the first to grow up with video games. Cradle to grave, pixels and polygons will blip after us, demanding our dollars and keeping us from hitting that next level. ...
Those first comments made me feel like the cheapest parent that ever lived. I can afford to give my kids iPod Touches but I wouldn't dream of buying them something that nice (and fragile) unless they proved they could take care of it or earned it.
That said: I am a selfish person who is not above buying her son a netbook for Christmas because *I* really wanted one (and b/c they were super on sale for Black Friday). So... Pffttttppp!
P.S. IF I had an iPad, I would let my kids use it at restaurants, too.
Suri Cruise Has an iPad? Sure She Does.
People seem to be freaking out a little that Suri Cruise played with an iPad at dinner with her parents this week. And to this I say "Why?" And maybe yawn. Say what you will about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (I have said plenty, please join me) but there is no disputing the fact that th...

Hard to believe he was 74! It seems like he was the same age there for about 20 years. Sigh. I'm sorry to see such a character pass away.
RIP, Dennis Hopper (1936-2010)
For what it's worth, we prefer our breaking news here at MamaPop to be less of the ilk from this weekend. RIP to hell-raiser Dennis Hopper, who passed away this Saturday. News of Dennis Hopper's recent health issues honestly surprised me. I don't know; he just always seemed like such ...
G.G.R.: I am hoping that Spencer implodes, leaving nothing but some crystal shards and leftover Fist Pumping For Love promotional materials. Can dreams really come true??
Alyssa: My GOD, the mind reels at the possibilities if it were true! She will be the dominatrix of the ULTIMATE FAME-WHORING MASTER CLASS... wow.
In News that Will Surprise Few: Heidi Montag Separates from Spencer Pratt [UPDATED]
It's the end of an era. Well, more like a phase, actually, like the teenage years that your parents refuse to discuss because it's just "water under the bridge" and why would you want to bring that up anyway?? TMZ is reporting that the couple that everyone loves to hate is kaput. Heidi has ...
Kemi & Shannon: I've watched the video three times and have laughed just as hard each time. The first line is my favorite part, though I will need to fast forward that bit before I show it to my kids. ;-)
Ozzie Osbourne Scares the [BEEP] Out of Fans in Devilish Prank
Ozzie Osbourne comes up with a great prank to promote his new album titled, "Scream." Osbourne, in a deliciously twisted bit of fun, posed as a wax version of himself at London's Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum and then waited for fans to sit down before revealing himself. Thankfully, Sharon Os...
DianaCLT: If his new look means that he is joining the ParrotHead nation and going on tour with Jimmy Buffett, I AM OUT.
Fashion Faux Pas: Willie Nelson's Haircut
This is big news, people. Holy hockey: Willie Nelson has cut off his signature pig tails. This is a troubling state of affairs. Instead of adorably quirky braids spilling down his back, Willie now has a ...(shudder) bob. A country dude with a bob. What is happening to the world?? Damm...
I have pictures of my grandmother (who would be about 102 if she was alive today) in almost an identical outfit in that last photo, the hat, too!
Kate Winslet's Kids Give Her an Ouchy
Playing sports with your kids can be a dangerous business as Kate Winslet now knows. Kate Winslet was playing a game of basketball with her two children, Mia and Joe, when she was bonked in the head with a basketball. Her spokesperson said: "She fell after being hit by a basketball and suffe...
Teenage boys world-wide weep in despair.
Megan Fox Replacements Considered For Transformers
What will we do if she is replaced and we go an entire Transformer's press junket without hearing her say something like, "Starscream is the sexiest Transformer. [Why?] ‘Cause he just is." Megan Fox is hot. As long as she doesn't open her mouth and allow words to escape, that is one beautiful ...
I bet he accidentally burnt one of his braids in a bong accident. Just sayin'.

I was actually disappointed that Gwen wasn't pregnant. Because I am mean-spirited and wish three sons on EVERYONE who has two sons and makes it looks easy.
I can't help it, it's just the way I am!
Rage Against the Baby Bump Watch
You know what pisses me off? The baby bump watch. No shit. Everybody thought Gwen Stefani was pregnant. They were all excited about #3! You know what? Gwen isn't pregnant. She was wearing loose shirts. Who knows why? Not me. Maybe she was bloated. Maybe she was gassy. Maybe she put o...
