October 2008 Archives

Remember "The Monster Mash?"

Of course you do.

Well, the original artist, Bobby "Boris" Pickett will live forever, won't he? You listened to his song, your parents probably listened to his song, and now your kids listen to his song. That's better than fifteen minutes of fame.

But apparently, for Pickett's daughter, that's not enough. So she had his ashes made into a diamond ring.

Los Angeles, CA October 31st, 2008 – Bobby Pickett who co-wrote and performed "The Monster Mash", died at the age of 69 on April 25, 2007 in Los Angeles, California, due to complications from leukemia. His daughter Nancy Huus was at his side when he died.

After his death, Nancy had a .44 ct colorless LifeGem diamond created from his cremated remains. She wears it in a white gold solitaire ring. Pickett was diagnosed with leukemia 5 years ago, and he and his daughter Nancy talked openly about death. “I saw a show about turning cremated remains into diamonds,” said Nancy, “I immediately called my father and told him that I wanted to make a diamond from his cremated remains; he loved the idea.”

On Halloween Pickett used to say “They dig me up every year.” This year for Halloween his daughter is wearing him as a LifeGem Diamond Ring. “Bobby was a minimalist, not elaborate,” said Huus. Her simple solitaire ring reflects that personality.

Bless her heart, isn't that just as sweet as a bowl of Halloween candy?

Pardon us while we retch. Not about making someone's ashes into a diamond ... after all, people bronze baby shoes and dry wedding bouquets--why not recycle pop's ashes?

No, it's the idea of doing it, and then allowing yourself to be quoted in marketing materials.

That's just gruesome.

Just like us, celebs and their kids have been hitting L.A.'s seasonal paparazzi haunt, the most sincere pumpkin patch evah, Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch.

And just like us, they know how to dress for the occasion.

It's good to see a healthy Brit Brit and her sweet boo-boos in their down-on-the-farm outfits.

Aside from Mom's nurse's shoes, Tobey Maguire and his family couldn't be more appropriately dressed for the occasion.

Mark Wahlberg wisely wears jeans over his Calvins.

And of course, the lovely Shauna Sand wore her signature acrylic hooker platforms.

Realizing her fashion error, she returned in more suitable attire.

In autumn, a father's thoughts turn to upcoming elections, stocking up for his family's needs for the winter ahead, and finding pumpkins the same size as his nursing wife's off-centered tits.

Occasionally Mamarazzi comes across a photo so wonderful, so perfect, so full of that certain something that we lose our ability to form sentances.

And so we turn to you, our clever readers, and ask that you title this post.

Uh oh, it appears that Sir Bono has some explaining to do:

Dude, what were you thinking?!

We don't care if you are "just friends" with the young ladies in in question. This is just all kinds of wrong.

First of all, you are 48 years old. The girls are teenagers -- just 19 years old.

Second of all, how do you think your wife of 26 years feels about the photos? Scratch that question. She's probably already had a few things to say to you about your dumb-assedness. We sincerely hope she ripped you a new one.

Finally, what do your kids think about this? Especially your daughters, who are the same age as the scantily-clad girls in the photos. Do you think they might not like seeing a nearly naked girl sitting on your lap?

Even if your marriage vows remain pure, the photos are just inappropriate. Drinking and dancing on a private yacht with sweet young thangs does not look good. Especially since your wife and family were not around.

You look like a cliche -- the middle-aged rock star who chases after much younger women. Don't do it Bono.

Special note to the two twits in the bikinis: Posting these photos on Facebook was just wrong. Did you not think about the man's family? His reputation? Your own reputations?

What do you think? Appropriate behavior or not? Leave a comment on Jen's blog.

We thought $150K was a lot of money to spend on new clothes. But Heather Mills is making Sarah Palin look like a piker.

According to The Sun, Heather Mills has managed to blow through almost 10 of the £24.3 million she received in her divorce settlement --and in only seven months.

What did she buy?

Well, an apartment in New York for £2.5. Six million pounds on "other properties." Another million pounds to fix up her house in England. But now she claims she can't afford to live in it , so she wants Sir Paul to buy it for her.

Basically, after spending £10 million on real estate, she still doesn't have a place to live. She's homeless.

Well, we have an idea for her. Heather has been a porn star "model," a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, and a "community organizer."

Now that she needs a place to live, we think she should run for office.

But in England, mind you--we have enough gold diggers and shopaholics of our own. We don't need to import any.

Seriously, with all those stately homes, there must be a governor's mansion or a Blair House equivalent that she'd like. We'd like to see her happily settled in a comfortable 30 room mansion somewhere.

That would free up a few pounds for new clothes. Because Heather? You need some.

Mamarazzi feels the need to address California's Proposition 8, which seeks to change the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.

Oh wait... We've got to change the photo.

It's not a loving gay couple.

It's THOSE GUYS again. And they're creeping us out AGAIN.

Tired of primping for a night on the town only to have your kids wrinkle your wardrobe and crush your coiffure? Posh Spice offers a fewhelpful hints on how to ditch your darlings yet still dazzle your dude.

For hair to survive your heirs, take a cue from Mother Nature. Ask your hairdresser for "The Porcupine".

Everyone knows the right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. Perfect shoes can break the skin of kids who get to close to Mommy when she's trying to get some special Daddy time.

Which currently divorcing celebrity is hoping her 50 year old uterus will make mas babies with her "spiritual soulmate"...

And she will cradle those babies in her claws.

Click HERE for the (obvious) answer.

Perez Hilton has posted a video that looks suspiciously like Tom Cruise is making little Suri pose for the paparazzi and other gawkers. Check it out.

Suri is clearly unhappy with the crowd and tries to hide her face in her blanket. Daddy Tom poses with his little girl anyway. Why Tom, why? Why make the child have her photo taken if she doesn't want to? Why give the photogs what they want at the expense of your child's comfort?

On the other hand, perhaps there's a bit of genius behind this tactic. By willingly allowing people to photograph the family, perhaps Tom is actually making things easier for his child. If the Cruises had not stopped for the cameras, would the paparazzi have become more aggressive in their attempts to get photos? Would the paps have chased the Cruises through the streets of New York, just like they used to hound the late Princess Diana?

So what do you think? Please let us know over at Jen's blog.

Jenny McCarthy says she cured her son's autism by putting him on a gluten- and dairy-free diet.

We're guessing he has a craving.

Yep, comments are still down! So come on over here and let us know exactly how crass and insensitive we're being.

Whew, we've been dealing with some heavy issues lately! Clearly, it's time to comment on pure fluff.

AKA Michael Lohan.

You know, Lindsay's attention freak dad?

We know it's easy to get him mixed up with the other Lohan attention hounds, mom Dina, little sister Ali, not to mention Lindsay herself.

For weeks now, Daddy Lohan has very publicly been seeking a celebrity to box with him for self-promotion charity . Although we'd be willing to knock a little sense into the man, we decided to sit this one out. Hey, even the usual crowd of D and F-listers in search of a humiliating reality show chose not to come forward to fight the 48-year old. For fear of being beaten up, we're sure.

We must add that Mr. Lohan DID manage to attract one D-lister to the fray:Stephen Baldwin will serve as the event's Celebrity Judge.

BUT! Michael did manage to find a celebrity opponent!. He's a businessman that Michael met at his squash club.

Ouch, Mike! If this dude manages to land a lucky punch, it'll simply be adding injury to insult.

After months and months of rumors and speculation, the news came out today that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing.

It might just have something to do with that special friendship between Madonna and A-Rod. You know, the one they've been denying for months.

We Mamas are truly sad by this news. We're HUGE fans of marriage and, since some of us are children of divorce ourselves, we fully understand how difficult this will be for Madonna, Guy, and their children. We offer our deepest sympathies to them all.

We especially wish to offer our consolation and support to Guy during this stressful time.

In fact, some of us would be happy to fly to England and personally help Guy however we can.

Call us Guy. 1-800-MAMARAZ.

Like the Martha Stewart of motherhood, Angelina Jolie has a knack for making the raising and bearing of children look enjoyable and easy.

But every now and then, you get the sense that Angelina may have experienced flung finger foods, middle-of-the-mall meltdowns, and gotten spit-up on her shirt.

And that makes us smile.

Sarah Palin's future son-in-law, Levi Johnston, recently had an interview with the Associated Press.

Some choice tidbits from the high school drop-out who is now working in the North Slope oil fields as an apprentice electrician:

Young Levi says that he and 17 year old Bristol were planning to get married even before they found out about the pregnancy. Still, they were somewhat shocked by the news of their forthcoming bundle of joy.

Mamarazzi comment: Really? Are you really surprised? Did you not know how babies are made and what can be done to prevent unwanted pregnancy? Oh wait, that's right, Bristol's mother is an advocate of abstinence-only education, which doesn't teach the first thing about birth control, so Bristol's ignorance is somewhat understandable. (Not.) What's YOUR excuse Levi?

On becoming a father, Levi said, "We're up for it ... It's going to be a lot of hard work but we can handle it."

Mamarazzi comment: Uh, dude, you have NO idea.

Levi already has big plans: "I'm looking forward to having him. I'm going to take him hunting and fishing. He'll be everywhere with me."

Mamarazzi comment: We Mamas strongly encourage you to rethink that plan. Seriously, nothing ruins a good hunting trip like having your toddler accidentally get shot.

Last summer, while on a caribou hunt, Levi lost a promise ring that Bristol had given him. In the interview he said he has decided to tattoo her name on the finger and not bother with more rings because he'd just lose them anyway.

Mamarazzi comment: Always a classy look.

Dear Levi,

Shut up.

From, the Mamas of Mamarazzi

Yep, we know this is a somewhat political, inflammatory post, but we Mamas feel VERY strongly about teenage pregnancy. Feel free to weigh in with your opinion at Jen's blog.

I looked at him and loved him and felt open to getting pregnant...

Comments are sooooo close to working... for now, click here, our lovelies and tell us what you think... could Brad have convince you to be his Baby Mama?

So last March she sold pictures of Max and Emma to People magazine.

And now, six million dollars later, she shows us this:

We don't know about you, but things don't look too well set up from where we're sitting.

Jennifer, honey, even if the stock market is tanking, we still think you can afford a better bra.

That Playtex 18-hour number is dirt cheap and looks it.

Dear Courtney Love Madonna,

You're trying too hard.

Mamarazzi can't quite decide...

Is 35 year old Tori Spelling dressing too young??

Or...

Is 16 year old Selena Gomez dressing too old?

We Mamarazzi Mamas have always maintained that Angelina Jolie has made a pact with the devil.

How else to explain how she looked fabulous when she was eight months pregnant with twins:

... and then looks utterly stunning less than four months later:

That transformation alone would be enough to convince us that Angelina negotiated herself a good deal with Lucifer.

But the ultimate proof is in this photo:

Any woman who can get her kids to wear clothes that match from top to bottom AND coordinate with everyone else in the family has clearly sold her soul. We're guessing that even the nannies were wearing black, white, and gray.

You'll never guess what? The comments are still not working. But! We are THISCLOSE to debuting an all-new site with functioning comments! In the meantime, go over to Jen's place and tell us what's on your mind.

You probably all heard about the flap last week when PETA decided to tell ice cream makers Ben and Jerry to use breast milk in their ice cream. Which inspired internet pundits to come up with flavor ideas like Dulce de Leche League and Peanut Butter Double D Cup and such.

Believe it or not, PETA has gotten even stupider.

PETA spokes-celebrity Pamela Anderson has just asked Cate Blanchett to boycott Armani because Armani still uses fur.

OK, pause for a minute and let that sink in.

This woman

is telling this woman

how to dress.

Could Peta have any less credibility at this point? We think not.

We're working on a site redesign that will look FABULOUS and also fix our comments. Meanwhile, please leave a comment here.

Russell Crowe has gained 63 pounds! He claims he did it for his role in in the recently completed Body of Lies.

Lies, indeed.

We think he gained weight for the same reason we did. Here's proof:

Russell Crowe before children.

Russell Crowe after two kids.

You know we're right.

Sharon Stone has always had rather unorthodox ideas for keeping those not-so-fresh body odors at bay

However, it appears that her plan for treating her son's stinky feet with Botox injections (according to her ex-husband before even trying less invasive methods like having the little bugger use deodorizing powder in his shoes or banning Crocs from his wardrobe) played a major role in why Sharon lost custody of the child.

If a little kindergarten foot funk freaked her, how would Sharon handle it when little Roan turns into a sweaty teenager and plops on the couch after football practice or gets gassy after eating too many chili dogs?!
