Shocker! Moms trust this celeb most

Yesterday was Mother’s Day, so it’s fitting to begin the week with a story about mothers and celebrities. A ParentDish.com poll of more than 10,000 American moms asked which celebrities they would feel most comfortable leaving their kids with. Want to take a guess at which celebrity was deemed most trustworthy?

If you were thinking Angie and Brad, you’d be wrong. Oprah? Nope. Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Garner? No again. All those made the list, but the most trusted celebrity with American mother’s kids is Ellen DeGeneres. The TV chat show host and same-sex partner Portia de Rossi took 31 percent of the votes. Jennifer Aniston (who doesn’t even have a partner) came in second at 22 percent, besting Jolie and Pitt with 18 percent of votes, while chat show queen Oprah Winfrey got just nine percent.

The poll also tells us that nobody is buying Angelina as a great mother. In another section of the poll, Jolie came out on the bottom in a list of five best celebrity mothers. Angelina lost out to Jennifer Garner (who won that round with 37 percent of votes), first lady Michelle Obama, and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon.

So what does this poll say about America? It demonstrates that we’ll trust our own children with a gay couple as long as they’re not allowed to marry.

Angelina has six kids, Ellen has none, but Ellen still wins with moms

What’s funnier than ‘Dick in a Box’?

The answer is Be My Mother Lover, the new digital short that aired on SNL on Saturday. Keeping up with the mother theme, Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg are back in this new video, and as funny as Dick in a Box was, this one is even better. I was going to include the lyrics to the song here, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise.

Sure, the humour is somewhat juvenile, but it is DAMN FUNNY. Absolute must see stuff. Feel free to email me if you want the lyrics.

I’ll be pushin’ that lady where you came out as a baby

Megan Fox is a bisexual hypocrite

Transformers star Megan Fox is without a doubt one of Hollywood’s hottest women. But I’m having trouble understanding her logic regarding her sexuality. In an interview with Esquire magazine – which appears in the June issue – Fox admits to being both bisexual AND a hypocrite. Huh?

"I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I am also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who wants to be bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

One who is both bisexual and an admitted hypocrite is someone who has serious trouble making up their mind. Dating her would be like dating a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get.

Chef Ramsay wants to judge American Idol

During a conference call with reporters last week, Chef Gordon Ramsay was asked if he's interested in taking Simon Cowell's gig on American Idol should Cowell make good on his hints that he's willing to step down.
At first, the Hell's Kitchen boss gave a preamble about how he has his plate full with his own shows, how Simon is great, etc. etc. But then Ramsay added, "If he’s going to retire, Christ, I would consider stepping in - definitely, of course I would."

Ramsay judging a singing competition? Can you just imagine what he would say to the Sanjayas of the world? That would be awesome! It would never happen, but I’d sure love to see him take the place of Kara or Randy. Idol would probably get a nice ratings boost from that one.

Ramsay also addressed the issue of smoking on Hell’s Kitchen. I’ve always wondered why all the chefs are always lighting up during downtime of the show - it’s disgusting! Thankfully, Ramsay agrees, though he is reluctant to step in and stop them. "My father died of smoking and my grandfather died of it - I've never never smoked a cigarette in my life," Ramsay said. "I find it difficult to watch these guys smoke their lives away. I don’t see how they can smoke and go back [into the kitchen and taste the food]. I find it hard to tolerate, [but] I'm not their mother."

Would be cool to have Ramsay shout "Shut it down!" while someone is singing poorly

Amy Winehouse attempts comeback, fails

Can we all agree that Amy Winehouse is already beyond the point of no return? This is a woman with great talent that appears to insist upon squandering every bit of it. Each time she steps on stage, she makes a mess of things. And this weekend in St. Lucia was unfortunately no different.

Take a look at the video, and see how painful it is to watch her failed attempts at keeping things on pitch and coherent. The light of hope for a possible comeback album is looking rather dim and is about to burn out anytime now…

Makes you cringe. In a bad way.

Wanda Sykes kills at White House Correspondents’ dinner

How cool is it that The White House gave the green light to an openly gay black woman to perform jokes for all the dignitaries? Comedienne Wanda Sykes had them rolling in the aisles on Saturday night, and although some of her material made people uncomfortable, you could tell that President Obama and wife Michelle were enjoying themselves. Her biggest targets were ultra-conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, Fox News personality Sean Hannity, and former VP candidate Sarah Palin.

She joked about Limbaugh being the 20th hijacker on 9/11, but he was so strung out on oxycontin that he missed his flight. That one had everyone squirming and laughing in equal doses. She pauses a moment, then quips, “Too much? But you’re laughing inside!”

She KILLED it. Her act was about 15 minutes long, and it’s all there for you in the link below. Great stuff!

Makes you cringe. In a GOOD way!

Lenny Kravitz naked

Ladies, thank me now or thank me later. Yes, it’s him. They were posted by Kravitz himself, on his Twitter page. Sure, NOW you girls want to join Twitter!

And NO, it's not full frontal

How I (finally) met your mother?

Last week on How I Met Your Mother, Ted runs into Stella and the Bob Saget voice-over tells us that their meeting up was all about fate. It leads us to believe that perhaps Stella (Sara Chalke) is the mother after all.

In tonight's episode, we'll learn that this is not the case, as directly behind Stella, on that street corner where Ted has just ran into her, is her better half, Tony.

Looks like Stella is not the mother. The show has been strong this year, but please, oh PLEASE, give us an idea of who the damn mother is. My guess is that we're NOT going to find out when this season wraps up next week.

Are they trying to test our patience?

Is Kelly Clarkson pregnant?

Either that, or she’s eating for two anyway. What happened? She is one of the prettiest singers around, but this is not a good look.

Walk Away... from this look!
