We live in a world of legalese. It's practically unavoidable. When it comes to daycares and schools, you not only expect a hefty list of terms and conditions, but welcome it. But what signing a waiver—for a play date in a backyard?
Introducing...Cancer Barbie. If it sounds too ridiculous to be true, then it must be.
Talk about a warped sense of self. It seems that when Victoria Beckham — formerly known as Posh Spice — looks in the mirror, she sees the average woman. As far as Posh is concerned, her UK size 6 (a Canadian 4) figure is totally status quo.
For some reason, she's convinced that her bird-like figure is representative of that of the general British female populace. Newsflash Posh: the average British woman wears a UK size 16!
Ok, so I'm not saying you're an idiot per se, but at least that's how I sometimes feel standing head-scratching in the long aisles of the LCBO. What to get to complement that Cordon Bleu meal you've slaved away at for hours. Er, more like get in, grab a quick bottle for a dinner party, and hope that snap decision isn't a crap decision.
And no, I don't mean horse riding. Tori Spelling is giving women all over the world a bad name? Just five short months after giving birth to her daughter Hattie, Spelling is up the duffers again.
For those of you whose math is a little fuzzy (I know mine was), I'll spell it out for you. She was having sex a mere four weeks after the labour.
If the name Samantha Brick doesn't mean anything to you yet, it soon will. The British former TV exec lamented to the Daily Mail recently about the trials of being a beautiful blonde. As you can imagine, the backlash has been forceful.
Health Canada has recalled this wooden six-piece magnetic train, with the UPC 736788157468, as small parts of the toy may separate, posing a potential choking hazard to young children.
Although neither Lucky Imports and Wholesale nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries, customers are advised to take the toy away from children and dispose of it.
For further information, customers may contact Lucky Imports and Wholesale at 1-416-251-1234.
It's hard to quit smoking—no doubt about it—but it's an especially dirty habit for moms to break. There's no shame in the struggle to give it up for your kids' sake.
Still, for A-listers, it's next to impossible to have that secret drag without some paparazzi lens catching you in the act. And there's no greater thrill than spotting a healthier-than-thou celeb mom with a ciggie in hand (ahem, that means you Gwynie).
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. It's not so fantastic for little Poppy whose mom Sarah Burge not only got her a £6,000 birthday certificate for a (future) boob job. The 51-year-old plastic surgery junkie has now gifted her 7-year-old daughter with another voucher. This time: £7,000 worth in liposuction for Christmas, together with make-up, hair extensions and a spray tan.
It sounds like a script straight out of Hollywood, but for Oklahoma mom Sarah McKinley real life imitated the most harrowing art when an intruder broke into her home on New Year's Eve. The 18-year-old mom, who was home alone at the time, shot and killed a man in order to protect her 3-month-old baby.
Fueling her state of mind was the fact that her son's father had only died of cancer less than a week earlier.
