On Saying Goodbye To Celebritease

Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on

kat-and-Jessica-alba-2013

As you may or may not have noticed over recent weeks/months, I've been blogging just a bit less. Between this here blog, the work I do with countless small businesses, and my own budding business, This Little Piggy in Toronto, my life is shifting. I got rid of my cable TV early this year, and wouldn't have time to go to the movies even if I really wanted to.

As society changes, and we get to experience new things, new issues crop up. Open adoptions, blended families and surrogacy all help grow families. Surrogacy can sometimes slide into a slippery legal slope as biological parents and surrogates may change their minds.

How Sting Is Stingy With His Kids

On Why Rockstar Won't Leave Money To His Children

sting-by-yancho

Sting has a reputation for long, passionate lovemaking sessions (which he has always claimed to be exaggerated or false). He has 6 kids. He also boasts a net worth of over $300 million dollars. With all this money, you'd think Sting's 3 sons and 3 daughters would have it made, but you're wrong. The rocker insists that his kids will not inherit any of his money, calling trust funds "an albatross" around the necks of his children.

Would You Watch A 'Saved By The Bell' TV Movie?

Down and dirty history of a favourite 90s sitcom, or cleaned up revival movie?

Matt has never seen Saved By The Bell. His best friend and I tried to school him by making him watch the "Friends Forever/Zack Attack" episode a number of years ago, but he just. didn't. get. it. Well, maybe now I can try and school him again, because Lifetime is producing a behind-the-scenes movie of the kids on the show. Things could get interesting.

Tori-Spelling-May-2014

Guys, I'm not sure I understand life anymore.

Do Your Kids Like Butt Jokes? They'll Love This New Show!

The Day My Butt Went Psycho Premiers on Teletoon

the-day-my-butt-went-psycho

Up until one week ago, I had no idea that there was a children's book series about butts. That being said, when I found out that there was not only a book series, but also a television show, produced by Teletoon, I had to check it out. The Day My Butt Went Psycho takes place in a world where butts live beside their humans, not on them and the story's hero, Zach and his butt, Duce must fight evil butts and protect the world.

Have I mentioned the butts?

There are Goth Butts, Butt Unicorns, Old Butts, Alien Butts and a whole bunch of bad butts.

Would you by a Leia doll if Disney sold her in its stores?

If you are a woman of a certain age and grew up watching Star Wars like I did, you probably love Princess Leia. She is a crack shot, intelligent and will not let men control her life or her. And anyone who tries to make her inferior feels her wrath!

kim-and-kanye-in-paris

This past weekend, while we were all outside (I hope), the Kim Kardashian/Kanye West wedding happened in Florence, Italy. The star-studded event was hosted at a fortress rented by the millionaires for the event. Photos of Kims dress started circulating Saturday afternoon here in Toronto, and by Sunday, everyone had seen all the Instagramming, photoboothing madness.
