Teri Hatcher Likes to Gamble, Says It's to Teach Her Daughter Math

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher likes to hit the track every once in a while, but don't think she's just throwing her money away. Hatcher says she uses the outing to help daughter Emerson Rose, 11, with her math skills.

"I go to the track with my mother and my daughter,’ the actress says of her annual Mother's Day outing with Emerson and her own mom, Esther. ‘I do use the opportunity to make [Emerson] understand math, and what you’re betting and what you get back. This year, she did all the winning.

"I gave her a certain amount of dollar bills and she knew she had to divide them up by how many races there were, and figure out the odds…I made myself believe I was giving her math lessons. So we work on math. It’s fun."

I don't blame Teri - us moms have to get creative to justify our personal time. For example, I use my daily Starbucks runs to teach my daughters about caffeine addiction, and how to hone their people skills. You won't get that extra shot of espresso for free if you're mean to the barista.

Brooke Burke Just Can't Stop

trix — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:05:00 GMT

Brooke Burke sounds like she is a very busy woman. Her routine makes me tired just reading it. She wrote on her blog a description of her day, which if you follow her twitter stream, you would be tired too.

"No need for an alarm in the morning, baby is up fussing for milk. Our two year old needs to go potty and my eyes are fighting the sunlight. My back hurts form being sandwiched in between two babies that are not yet sleeping through the night (on my side of the bed btw). I wake up my older kids for school and hurry downstairs to get breakfast ready and make it out the door in time to beat rush hour. Thank God I made lunches last night, and I have a 30 minute drive for the kids to finish eating breakfast. Quick glance at the school calendar to make sure I have not missed anything; I have 5 minutes for myself to throw hair in a ponytail, sweats and flip flops on and grab my shades to hide the restless nights bags under my eyes. I yell for everyone to get in the car, bus is leaving!!!"

That actually sounds a lot like my life and I'm sure it sounds like every other mom and dad out there. My husband and I take turns with the boys, do you and your significant other have a time saving tip that you practice in you routine?

I think I need a nap, now.

Brooke Burke Smiling Through Her Nighttime Battles

trix — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:33:00 GMT

Brooke Burke has taken to Twitter recently, to talk about her nighttime battles with getting Shaya to sleep in his own bed. It looks like she isn't any worse for wear as she shops with her daughters and a friend.

She seems to be a rather, down to earth mom, that actually enjoys spending time with her children.

She has said that, “Three kids were easy. Four rocked my world. I’ve always wanted to have a lot of children, and I’m used to the chaos. But, it’s challenging having two babies in diapers and two babies not yet sleeping through the night.”

She's a better woman than I, I can barely handle my two kiddos, as much as I love them.

Brooke Burke and Family Check In To LAX

trix — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:01:00 GMT

Brooke Burke and her son Shava cuddled close when they arrived at LAX yesterday.

I've always like Brooke Burke, don't ask me why. I think they could have tried to get a better picture of her than this one. I know I didn't have to use it but I was just trying to prove a point. Getting your hair and make-up professionally sure makes a difference, even for the beautifully famous.

Brooke had to take the time to fill out a claim for lost luggage at LAX, how aggravating.

Brooke Burke Dances Her Tush Off

trix — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:20:00 GMT

Brooke Burke looks fantastic, she was made to be a dancer.

She didn't get voted off thank goodness, Kim Kardashian was the unlucky one this week.

I still think that she wears a butt pad (Kim not Brooke).

Brooke says that her kids love watching her on "Dancing With The Stars". "They love it! They love watching me all glammed out in the costumes," and "when I come home, my 2-year-old says, 'Dance, dance!'" She added that, "It's really inspiring the kids to see dedication and hard work, and I think it is going to be a really great experience for them."

All I know is that she looks freaking amazing.

Brooke Burke Makes Vegas Hotter

trix — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:06:00 GMT

Hot Damn!!!! Brooke Burke adds a little sizzle to the Vegas scene.

Brooke Burke and her husband David Charvat took the kids to Vegas for a little fun in the sun. She has 4 kids from age 8 to 5 months, and still looks fantastic.

I know this isn't the best picture of her hatted head (my husband thought the top part of the picture was an old lady) but from the neck down, wow. That doesn't make her a butter face, does it? Maybe only in the first picture.

I hope they put sunscreen on every 15 minutes, that Vegas sun is brutal.

Celine Dion's Heart May Go On, But Her Show Won't

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 23:35:00 GMT

Get out your hankies (or do a happy dance, depending on who you are) - Celine Dion had her final show in Las Vegas last night. After five years the pop star's long-running show at Caesars Palace came to an end Saturday night. The rumor is she's being allowed to leave after finally paying off that huge debt she rang up at the Video Keno machines.

In a speech that ran before the show began, Dion said she had wanted to back out of the show while it was in its planning stages after her son Rene Charles, 7, was born. "I wanted to be more successful as a mother than as a singer...It's a pleasure to perform for you, but I'm extremely passionate to be a mother.”

After her last number, Dion was joined onstage by her husband, Rene Angelil and her son. She was then showered with five gazillion rose petals, each one representing a dollar she has made from her Las Vegas shows.

Pamela Anderson-Sex Show?

Pamela Anderson sex show?

Pammie, former Baywatch TV star, mentioned that she and ~~her sloppy Paris Hilton seconds~~ hubby, Rick Salomon are having sex every night, so perhaps they'll name their new "reality TV show", Cheesy and Sleazy? Catchy isn't it? Yes, you heard me correctly-Pamela and Rick are in talks with E! network to star in their own reality show. Fantastic!

A source said, "Think Nick and Jessica's Newlyweds, but with a lot more sex and a crazier family life. These two don't have any boundaries, which is perfect for reality stars." And perfect for the cheesy.

The 'quickie married in Vegas' couple, have been together for a few months now (I'm sure it'll last forever) and Pam is the mother of two sons, with her ex husband, Motley Crue drummer, Tommy Lee. Brandon, 11, and Dylan, 9, I'm sure, are very proud of their ~~trampy~~ out-going mom. I mean, the woman lost a bunch of poker games and offered Salomon sex in exchange for her gambling debt to be paid off and lookie, now they're married. See? Classy and a great role model!

Stay tuned, the show is set to air sometime next year.
