Jodie and Cydney Call It Quits

So I don't have the story from the world's most reliable source (it rhymes with " The Rational Admirer"), but still, I fear the bad news is true.  

 

After 14 years and two children, Jodie Foster and her partner Cydney Bernard are breaking up.  

How can this be???  Certainly you remember how, just a few short months ago, Jodie threw off the oh-so-thin veil of secrecy and publicly thanked "my beautiful Cydney" at an awards ceremony.  We've had less than a year to claim these women as a shining example of a beautiful and happy two-mama family.  I'm sure they'll take good care of their boys and always think of each other as family (lesbians are very bad at getting divorced) but I'm still sad.  Our hollywood census is so small to begin with and a hit like this, while not as tramatic as the whole Anne and Ellen fiasco, is downright devastating. 

A word to Rosie and Kelly, should they be reading:  Let's keep it together, girls.  We're counting on you.

Claudia Schiffer Topless!

 

Vogue is like me in college- getting all the topless action. Of course, I was paying for it and watching it from my seat with a two drink minimum, whereas they have the biggest names in hotness posing all artsy like. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

First Eva Mendes showed us what she's got and now supermodel and MILF to the highest power Claudia Schiffer has followed suit.  Huzzah!

11 Things-Thursday

1. I got a pretty decent paycheck so I feel good that we have some money again. 2. My sister left this morning and took her dog with her. After they were gone I cried. That dog was an incredible annoyance, but I'll miss her anyway. 3. I am tired already and it's only 9am. 4. The neighbors next door are moving. That means that I'll get entirely different horrible neighbors to go with the ones I hate on the other side, I'm sure. 5. I'd really like to put up a privacy fence but I need permission fr… Continue

The Selfishness of Being a Mom

Mother love can be a selfish kind of love. Not entirely, but we all know about the selfLESS side of mothering. The sleepless nights, breastfeeding etc. But parts of being a mother are special privileges that are mostly (usually) the domain of the woman, the mother. That's what I was musing on today, the selfISH side of my relationship with my son. Pregnancy was kind of selfish. I enjoyed the special attention of my partner, my family, his family, our friends and even complete strangers. Long na… Continue

11 Things-Thursday

1. Sometime I didn't make it until today. I kept thinking that all day was Wednesday. I even was talking about getting more formula on Thursday and it is Thursday! I keep thinking I have two more days left of this week and I don't. Tomorrow is Friday! Friday! I still wouldn't have known that if I hadn't checked the calendar on my laptop. 2. Aria just won't nap. She had been napping all right in her swing and pack n play, but then decided to only have naps for a half hour and then be cranky. Toda… Continue

11 Things-Wednesday

1. I love taking Aria shopping because she is such a good girl. She just plays happily and smiles at everyone who will talk to her. A lot of people at work always ask me "Where is my baby?" They think she's the sweetest little girl. I hope she remains this well behaved. My goal is to always expect certain things so that as she grows up she doesn't know any different than 'this is how we act at the store." 2. I am tidying up in case my friend comes over. She said she'd drop by after tanning so th… Continue
