Beyonce Is a Desperate Housewife! [7Confessions]
The newlywed is already desperate to play a housewife! Beyonce is ready to get some tips from the girls on Wisteria Lane in the next series of Desperate Housewives.
The star?s manager father, Matthew, is reported to be in talks with the producers of the ABC show and he is keen to make the role more than a cameo. ?They've already agreed to give Beyonce a cameo appearance,? said a source from the singer?s camp. ?But we're hoping that she could be written in for a recurring role, or possibly even a permanent one.?
Beyonce has a fair amount of acting experience already, having starred in Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Pink Panther and Dreamgirls. I say whatever? please don?t put Beyonce in that show, she?s gonna ruin it!
I would prefer to have Britney Spears in Wisteria Lane, at least she is a better actress!! :D lol

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt Fake Pregnancy for Publicity [7Confessions]
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag had the fabulous and original idea of faking a pregnancy so they can get even more exposure. The pregnancy trick is getting old but their genius minds have it all figured out: ?This summer, Heidi plans to wear loose clothes and even strap on some padding around her waist to make it appear as if she?s about three months along.?
?The plan is to get the baby rumor mill going so she can get photographed more. She and Spencer won?t confirm or deny the pregnancy so they can keep everyone guessing.? That is so brilliant! I wonder how can they think of such an intelligent plan all by themselves? I'm so impressed! NOT!!

Huckabee jokes about someone shooting at Obama [Reformed Chicks Blabbing]

[Stink Eye & Tube Steak]
I woke up this morning, grabbed a coffee, did the usual routine. As I passed the one mirror downstairs, I realized I looked like a Fraggle. My hair was everywhere. (WB called and want's to go for coffee at 9, ugggh, need to do damage control with my doo).
It's funny, because you get to a point in a marriage, and everything is accepted. Using a mud mask (spot specific), and bedhead, is a common thing now. When did this change? When did that comfort level kick in?
Addled is really funny in the morning (when I see him). He gets puffed, squinty eyes, pillow wrinkles on the cheeks, and his fingers swell up like sausages. He also has this habit of tucking his shirt into his pyjama pants. When he had hair, it would stick up all over the place. Those were cute times.

Cancer - Nip it in the bud with early detection! [Simply A Musing Blog]

Almost every woman I know has had someone stolen from them by cancer. I specifically...

Following a Path to Joy [Artrepreneur; The Collision of Art and Business]
Almost eight years ago my dad died suddenly from a heart attack. He actually had at least three heart attacks over a few days. The second one brought him to the hospital, and he ended up with a stent in his heart. But, his heart never stabilized, and later that night he had another heart attack that ruptured his left ventricle. This one was fatal.
At first I was doing what I could to help my mother through this difficult time. But over the next few months, I found that his death affected me more than I thought it did. I found myself slipping into a deep depression. Finally, I sought out a therapist. Eight years, and several therapists later, I think of my Dad, and miss him, but I have also made some deep changes in the way I live my life, and along the way found more joy than I thought was possible.
Why am I sharing this with you? It relates a bit to the post I had recently about Critical Balance. Until this crisis sent me to therapy, I did not realize how much all the negative "stuff" I carried around in my head, and repeated to myself over and over again, inhibited my creativity, and diminished my life overall.
I continue therapy, even though depression is gone from my life, because I have come to realize the work to stay present, and not get caught up in all that "stuff" is something that is on-going. Once a month I get to check-in with the best therapist I could ever have. And once a month I meet with an amazing group of women, and we reflect and share on different aspects of our lives and our experiences. In this process, I can see better where I have been, and how far I have come. I can find where the residue of pain still resides, and carefully explore and heal. And I stay in touch with "me." And if you want to find your voice, there is no better place to start!
This past week, we met, and we wrote about the joy that is in our lives. We were in tears, and laughing, sometimes simultaneously as we shared our reflections. Tonight, I shared with my kids what I wrote, and given their response, I decided to post it here, with the background. I have come to believe, the work I did "on myself" was the best work I ever did to nurture my creative being.
So here goes....
I start to reflect upon my day and the little moments that made me smile, or feel in that moment. What unifies those moments is simply presence. Presence to what is. Presence to a moment that can?t be captured and preserved on film, or in words, or in any way at all as completely as just being there at that moment. My mom calls to thank me for coming over and for the card from me that she found after we left. We talk for maybe ten minutes, and it is a nice re-connection and reinforcement of our relationship and our bond as mother and daughter. I take a tray of beads out of the oven. As I collect them into my hand, and then into a container, the subtle sparkle and pattern catches my eye and makes me smile. Yes! This time it worked. These will make some nice pieces. But, just now, they bring me a moment of joy. I roll them around for a moment, in the container, enjoying the visual and tactile experience. Later I am making cranes. I cover a sheet of clay with a variety of cane slices. The mix of color and pattern sings on this one. I smile in a moment of ?yes!? Packaging and sorting cranes to fill orders. These normally tedious tasks feel good today. I enjoy seeing each crane on the shred, and in it?s own little box. Soon two orders are picked and in boxes to ship. I take pleasure in the ease with which this happened today. At dinner, I take in Colleen. Her eyes sparkle as she talks. A smile illuminates her already luminous face. We all laugh together as Kaela exudes joy and excitement at all the possible directions her life could take. Each fulfilling an aspect of her being. She can barely get the words out in a coherent sentence, she is so happy about all that lies before her like a feast. My life is one of abundance. Simple moments. The excitement of the dog to do a trick and get a treat. The sound of my coffee press makes as it slides down. Dave?s voice on the phone. I had moments of stress and frustration today. But the joy of the moment can be found like sparkling jewels scattered throughout my day. My little mantra these days is ?Create abundance.? Perhaps I don?t need to say create. Maybe it is just about noticing. Being present to all that is here for me already. ....so, what do you think? Does it make you want to start noticing the jewels in your own life? I can guarantee they are there. It is not about the big "wow!" moments. Those are good, but the sustenance comes from finding joy in the moment. The mundane, everyday moments. And, when we find it there, we have less "need" for the other kinds of that the commercials want us to believe are only a purchase away.
If you'd like, feel free to leave a jewel or two in the comments!

Victoria Beckham Confesses ?I?m a Miserable Cow!? [7Confessions]
 Gotta love Victoria Beckham when she speaks so openly about herself and her image. If you think Victoria takes herself too seriously, you are completely wrong!!
The star, famed for her non-smiling facial expressions, admits she is often surprised by her miserable appearance in many pictures.
She says, "I think that's just the way my face falls. But yeah, maybe, when I do see pictures, sometimes I think, 'You miserable cow'."
But Victoria insists she isn't fazed by other peoples' opinions of her. She adds, "You know, if people like the way I look, great. If they don't, then fine."
Go Vicki!!

Fashion Face Off: Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Paris Hilton [7Confessions]
I don?t know what went through these ladies? mind to wear the ridiculous hats! I assure these tall tacky hats aren?t the new celebrity trend but the new ?what the hell was she thinking? statement between the hottest celebs. Sarah Jessica Parker makes herself look even older with her big green butterfly nest in her head at the world premiere of Sex and The City Movie in London. While Paris Hilton is a ridiculous bride wannabe promoting her new fragrance Can Can also in London.
I wonder if there?s something in the London air that makes celebrities wanna try the British lady hat look and fail shamelessly.
