@intime: Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage.
Though actually that's not true, I can't help quoting Clue whenever the opportunity arises. It's like Madeline Kahn Tourettes or something.
I love watching Whatever, Martha! because I'm now convinced MS went through her archives and had many WTF moments with regards to the guests she would bring onto the show. To wit: on a recent episode they watch a segment with a guy who--no lie--collects twine. Another guest showed us all how to properly wash dishes, and another made handbags out of expensive cigar boxes--it boggles the mind how random these people are!
But she can't just make fun of them herself--it would clash with the personality she's created--so who better to do it for you than your famously caustic daughter?
Yeah, it seems to me that Martha is letting Alexis make fun of her just to show her that she's worthy of her daughters attention. I dunno. I am sure she was put through the ringer when she was a child - can you imagine having MARTHA STEWART as your mother? But still. Creating an entire series devoted to the ripping of your mothers arsehole while she pays for the production seems really...mean.
Her show is actually titled "Whatever, Martha"? Isn't that the exact same thing as "God, Mom, you are SO stupid!!!" Why couldn't she just call it that? Oh, nevermind, I know. Because adding the necessary *eyeroll* part would make it too long and then no one would watch it. Silly me.
Srsly? I get that not everyone gets to have a wonderful mom. But this lady needs to get over it and grow the hell up. Imagine! If this was your own grown-ass daughter, wouldn't you just want to slap the bejesus out of her and tell her to stop fucking pouting already?
@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: Maaaaan, like I give a shit. Imagining the kind of majestically damaged parent-child relationship that results in the creation of a show like this is like 70% of what makes it enjoyable
And I do enjoy it - it's my alcoholic Jean Teasdale secret shame, MST3K with a different MS
The real question (to those of us "recently" sidelined by life, love, summer vacation, inlaws and saddest of all, a nasty computer virus) is, whatcha doin' these days, girlie? Biscuits & gravy or... ?
WHY would you tell our children you are having milk put in? Ugh i hate when people lie to children and say things that are going to screw with their ideas of human biology and their own self image. UGH, head desk moment
@RubyPenelope: I agree, but these kids are in reality TV families. A body image issue and poor understanding of biology will be the LEAST of their problems.
I think we all know there is only one logical gift for Bridget to get Kendra for her baby shower based on her gift giving record...A blanket or throw with an image of the conception printed on it.
Can someone give me a round up of all the crazy things Shia has said about his childhood?
-Saw his parents have sex -Was forced to dress up as a clown -Jerked off while spying on Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore on the set of Charlie's Angels (really not that fucked up, but part of the larger picture)
I really think he should get in touch with a mental health professional instead of all these journalists.
I can't believe Kendra is pregnant...I do like her, but anyone who's ever watched "The Girls Next Door" knows that she comes off intensely ill-prepared to have a baby, no matter how much she "matured" by the end of the show. The way she used to freak out at..well, anything...in her good-natured frustration does sort of create endless opportunities for her new TV show, though, I guess! Something tell me Kendra's mom will be moving in with them ASAP.
There are actually a whole bunch of Mary days. August 15th is the day you go swimming for Mary, back in May was the day where Mary gets her crown. There are a whole bunch in Latino cultures that I can't even remember. If Madonna was really banned from singing on a feast day of the Virgin Mary she'd pretty much have to stop singing.
@brendastarlet is on it: August 15th is the assumption, which in some areas has a connection to healing waters, thus a tradition of swimming on the assumption.

Being drunk on the set of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia at 8am sounds like the height of luxury to me...

Kendra moves into house, and can't keep house
Kendra plans wedding
Kendra discovers she's preggers
Kendra's shower
Kendra's wedding (two parts, at least)
Kendra adjusts to married life
Kendra's baby shower
Kendra has baby (another two-parter)
That's almost an entire season, right there.

Mother's Day was always a Mary celebration in our church. "On this day, oh beautiful mother..."
