I haven't bought cd's in years... but I do love the Black Eyed Peas and amsure the cd is awesome. I'll have to hint around for the DH to buy it for me.

I haven't read this thread in MONTHS. Congrats to all the pregnant ladies. Quote: Originally Posted by CaliaA07 Just a thought on strollers.

I can lug that baby up stairs with a baby in my arms. Just a thought if someone was looking for a lightweight. It even comes with a storage place underneath. The new line is a bit different but you can find the older ones other places. Anyways just thought I'd let you know if you were interested. I don't have the MacLaren yet, but I just tested it out today and I'm so getting it. I'm tall 5'8" and those damn low handles on the umbrella strollers are torture. If I was 5" shorter it would be ok, but I practically have to bend down to even reach the damn handles. SUCKS!!!! Re: the plug... losing your mucus plug doesn't always mean baby is coming soon. You can lose your plug and not give birth until a month later. I didn't lose mine until the day I went into labor. It kinda looks like a slimey glob of mess. Since my water broke at the time I lost my plug, I didn't get a great look at it. My labor story is pretty old, but if anyone is interested in reading it, you can find it on my blog. It gives the dirty details of losing the plug, etc. Oh, Jessica!: Long Overdue Blog: Offcially a Mommy!

Oh, sounds good. I noticed it's ondemand. I'll have to watch it when I have some downtime before it expires.

I just now finally watched both episodes. You girls summed up a lot of my thoughts. I really thought Askua should have gone and it bugged me that they seemed to keep her by default just because there were more contemporary dancers. Her solo wasn't that great and I do usually appreciate ballroom. I see how ballroom dancers have a tougher time with solos because they are so used to working in pairs, but if the whole show is built on the expectation that you need to push yoursef out of your element, I don't think that's an excuse. I don't have any sad feelings about Tony going. I basically think he only made it on the show because they couldn't bring on Alex due to the contract thing. I thought the guest dancers were boring and FF through their performance.

Quote: Attention Speidi Fans: Time to stake out that gas station clear across town and muster up some courage, because you'll soon have a plastic-sheathed magazine to buy. Media savvy 'Hills' star Heidi Montag has gone and posed for a "tasteful" spread in Playboy, PEOPLE is reporting. "There is nudity. It's tasteful -- she had a lot of fun with it," a source confirms. You'll get to see a whole lot more of Heidi in the September issue of the lad mag. The aspiring singer likely posed for the photos before flying to Costa Rica for her and husband Spencer Pratt's failed tenure on 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.' The pair quit, then came back, then quit again after Montag fell ill while taping the reality show. Celebrity News, Entertainment News, Movie News, Music News, TV News - PopEater Lordy lordy!

I'll have to look into that documentary Erin. I've never heard of it.

Quote: LOS ANGELES, June 11 (UPI) -- Chastity Bono's publicist has confirmed the U.S. gay-rights activist and author is undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Bono, 40, is the biological daughter of entertainers Cher and the late Sonny Bono. "Yes, it's true -- Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," Chastity's representative Howard Bragman said in a statement issued to Usmagazine.com Thursday. "He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago. We ask that the media respect Chaz's privacy during this long process as he will not be doing any interviews at this time." "Chaz Bono's decision to live his life authentically represents an important step forward, both for him personally and for all who are committed to advancing discussions about fairness and equality for transgender people," Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, told the magazine. "Coming out as transgender is an extremely personal decision and one that is never made lightly." Chastity Bono undergoing sex change - UPI.com How brave of him to share this with the public. Hopefully when he's ready to share his full story it can help open some minds about the struggles of gender dysphoria.

I'm not a huge fan, but I did watch her new show. She annoys me, but I think she has a good heart. Maybe having a baby will help mellow her out. She seems so focused on being "that girl" that needs all the attention (flashing the boobs, etc).

If you get it before me, you have to share a review Rachel! I just saw it in a catalog we got in the mail. I circled, highlighted it, dogearred the page and left it on Brian's desk. Think I left him enough hints!?

Oh my gosh! I was totally going to come on here to start the same thread! Seriously. I've been hooked on that commercial for awhile now. It sounds awesome. I also just saw it in Target today for $80 so I wanted to know if anyone else had it.

How was Sydney supposed to die on the original? I don't think I saw the series finale of the original. Actually I stopped watching the show at one point because I was just never home. I think I missed like the last two season. I wish they did (original show) reruns on SoapNet like they do with 90210... or do they?

I remember her on 7th Heaven. She really annoyed me on that show!

I just finished watching it. I agree about the whole Mia/Brandon thing. WTF is up her ass? I understand being constructive in criticism, but she was just a straight up b*tch. What did he do, kick her puppy? I am glad Mary basically told her to STFU. Mia was funny when talking about that one chick and her unitard. Everytime I see that girl I'm think "WTH. Who wears unitards anymore?!" It was heartbreaking that Alex couldn't be let out of his contract. I hope he comes back next season. I cried. It was also hearbreaking when it came down to the two brothers. I cried again. Brian called me a pussy.

Anyone else going to watch? When does the show start anyway? There was a commercial on for it last night but the kid was screaming and I could't hear or see anything. I had no idea Ashlee Simpson was going to be on the show!! I love her. Not quite show about her acting skills, but I do like her!

I think the boys won ABDC. I didn't pay attention to last season as much as the first season though. I defintiely agree that they put appearances and personality above actual dance skill a lot of the times when choosing people, but that's not surprising. Pretty people and big personalities tend to grab people more. I don't even remember what Kaitlyn looks like or who she is, but I think Natalie is gorgeous, so if they are going on beauty they should have at least picked her too!

I'm surprised they cut the younger sister! I thought she stood out more than her older sister in the auditions. That's too bad.

Quote: Originally Posted by lisaloo79 I found Mia really bitchy too, maybe she was PMS'ing! lol I love her work though, it's always full of emotion and makes me cry! It was too bad about Gabi, but obviously she has problems learining choreography. I was surprised they kept the one sister (both had blond hair, one curly and the other straight). It didn't seem like they were too impressed with her. Maybe she'll get cut tonight. Can't wait!!!!! I missed that part. Did they keep both the sisters?

Yeah, they were kinda hard on everyone tonight. I was sad to see that one chick with the red hair (crap, can't think of her name right now!) get cut.

I saw last nights episode but meh. I think the show kinda sucks. Not sure I want to dedicate 4 nights a week for 4 weeks to watch this show.

Julie is Jodi's sister. She has this hate blog directed at Jon and Kate that is a little creepy if you ask me... "Truth Breeds Hatred" ~Bias of Priene, Maxims It is an interesting read though! I haven't watched the show in awhile... like a couple of seasons at least. But I agree that Kate has gone Hollywood which is unfortunate. Her haircut is pretty bad though. What's up with that?!

I caught a few minutes of it in the middle. I forgot to add it to my DVR list so I'm going to see if I can download it and watch it later.

I could be wrong though. Yeah, that's what I thought too. I read it in People or something. I didn't know about the Laguna part though. I guess maybe then Heidi could have met Kristen out in Laguna... although that still kind of seems weird if H & L were friends why Heidi would even become friends with Kristin. Oh well! Quote: Originally Posted by DanielleNDerek i was thinking i dont think i'll watch next year with Kristen instead of LC. its just been so fake lately that i thought they were just going to throw kristen in and act like they are all friends. i had no idea Lo was friends with her. So maybe i'll try watching it and see how it is first. Totally agree. I know it's pretty fake to begin with, but I was really turned off by the thought of them throwing Kristin in the mix all "BFF" style. That would have just been way to obnoxiously fake. But I kinda want to see the whole Kristin/Audrina/Justin showdown now.

I know. The mom pissed me off when she defended Holly's behavior. She's ragging on Spencer for being an inappropriate jerk, well Holly was being an inappropriate jerk at that moment. Her toast was wacky too. She had to have been tipsy/drunk. It just didn't make sense. I had no idea Kristen and Lo were friendly either. Actually I didn't know K knew Heidi... that explains why she was at the wedding though. I know K dated Brody before Lauren did but I thought Heidi and Lauren originally met at school when Lauren was in San Fran for college. That's what I read anyway. I wonder how Kristen and Heidi met. I like to know the backstory on these things! I'm going to miss LC too! If her and Lo are roommates at the new place, I wonder if Lo will be on the new season or not. Maybe we'll catch glimpses of Lauren in the background or something.

What the hell was up with Holly at the rehersal dinner?! Drunk much? For once I agreed with Spencer, it is rude to throw food across the dinner table in that situation. Kristin appears to be a lot of trouble for the next season.
