Jenne — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:05:49 +0000

I like to be a stylish mom, but the routine job around the house usually make me forget the style. The needs to be stylish’s coming while I’m reading or seeing the beautiful mom around neighborhood, on the nets and magazines. But the need quick to be forgotten as I continue my routine.

I can consider myself as an extra size mom, and the size is the one that keep me away from being stylish. The public opinion about the extra size women has rooted deeply even in me.

But being stylish has nothing to do about the size. It is about how to making the best shape of you that can be approximately drop dead gorgeous. The first step you have to know about the shape your body, then change your clothes to support your shape.

Choose the right color and fabric that will comfort you most in every activity you’ve got. And no need to break the bank to be stylish. There are many option in clothes, shoes or bags.

About following the latest fashion trends, I think better for not to, we can adjust few things from the trends to our own style. But there’s no harm to know the trends from magazine or celebrity news blog perhaps.

And learning about Pop Culture Couture is the fun ever beside making food for children and arrange the house.

Jenne — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:58:21 +0000

Ron Howard has finding humor on parenthood, he explains more on Parade about the funny part as parents and the desperate moment, he recalls it as “not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.”

“Humor is unavoidable. It might not feel funny in the moment, but more often than not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and you can personally look back and find the laughs in being a parent.”

A fifty six years old Hollywood legend is feel a pressure in fatherhood, but he grown more with that.

“I felt pressure about being a father, more pressure than I would have ever imagined — trying to do it right, to be what I should be to my kids. At the same time, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I think I’ve probably learned more and grown more because I’m a father than for any other reason.”

Being parent is not going to be easy, many responsibilities and hard work, especially while children need their parents to guide them to grow and fit to the world. Howard shares his personal parenthood experience and takes a good meaning on it.

“When we had our first child, it was very manageable. But then we found out that Cheryl was going to have twins and she was in a bed for three or four months and she was going crazy. For the first time in my life, I had to take a lot of extra responsibility at home. At the same time I was trying to get ready to film Cocoon. I had a few times when I had to ask myself, ‘Can I do this? Will I be able to do this?’ And I suddenly realized that I could handle it. I think that was a watershed time in my life both as a parent and as a person.”

A new Parenthood maker feels great being grandfather for his grandson, a 3 years old Theodore Norman Howard Gabel, a son from his daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, 29.

“I didn’t remotely understand how profound the experience of being a grandparent is until you become one. It’s interesting, when you become a grandparent you start bumping into other folks who have had that experience. And there’s this sort of wink and a nod like it’s sort of a club or something.”

Learning parenting could be from anywhere, even from Andy Griffith from one of fame The Andy Griffith Show.
“In some ways, Andy Griffith was sort of like a father to me and I guess there were a lot of parenting moments on the series.”

And he puts his family first above all, such when “in crunch time, trying to figure out what Cheryl and I should do with one of our four kids.”

“My thoughts would go to my own father and mother and Cheryl’s to hers. I wouldn’t be thinking about what happened on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show.”

Ron and Cheryl are also parents to twins Jocelyn Carlyle and Paige Carlyle, 25 and Reed Cross, 23.

So comfy in fantasy job, makes her suit to her long time partner, Tim Burton, who direct her latest movie, Alice in Wonderland. As for her son, Billy Raymond Burton, 6, the apple hasn’t fallen far from tree.

Billy does “wave wands and pretend”, follows her act as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and II.

“So I’m growing up with him again, and we’ve got a lot to talk about. He said the other day, “Mom, do you have to be a queen or a witch tomorrow?” (This is a different queen; I’ve just been another queen.) It’s pretty much like that though – I’m a witch one day or a queen the other. It’s just lucky. I love fantasy time.”

Aware to having a high fantasy mind partner, Tim Burton, she tells that she doesn’t know who he is because they’ve been “separated for months.”

“Because he’s been stuck in his room drawing and directing and animating all this time,” preparing his latest project Dark Shadows.

When she asked whether Tim has approached her about appearing in his Dark Shadows, Helena said she had something more to be concerned.

“What I just want to know is if he’s coming home now for the babies.”

But above all his madness in fantasy, Helen said,
“He’s not a mad professor type. His time management is good. He is financially responsible. A part of him maybe exists in an alternative reality but he is a very sane and grounded good father.”

She realize her job has make her far from her children, even her children, Billy and 2 years old daughter, Nell Burton, recognize her and love her movie, such The Gruffalo, her new animated film.

Helena admits the clashes that happened when they work together,

“At home I’m the boss – he calls me ‘chief’ and I would say on the whole he likes me to make the decisions. At work is where we sometimes get it wrong. He’s the boss and I’m not as silent as he’d like me to be.”

But only several person who has short mind might end up his own life to end the suffer they had or the answer of all their problems, and the rest of them could survive, won from the stress and continues the blessing life they had in bad and good.

Marie Osmon’s son, Michael Bosil who had been in and out of rehab had lost his battle with his depression and he jumped from the eighth floor of his 15-story L.A. apartment building on Friday.

Marie said, “He was in excellent spirits. I’ve seen him throughout the years, but on this particular day, he and Marie were so excited about him attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A. They were upbeat, and he was very happy, and seemed to be looking toward the future.”

He had left a note to a woman whom he mentioned as his only good friend in L.A. and he was very unhappy on his note. The note did not explicitly mentioned about suicide, it mentioned all the things he would be doing for the last time.

Michael death was a shock for his family and his roommates who told Mary; “He’s probably the funniest, happiest guy I’ve ever met in my entire life. This is something I would never expect.”

Mary says, “my dear friend [Marie], is finding solace in her faith and her family. And I find tremendous grace in her own words: ‘I really believe that it’s the lows that make us who we are. It’s not the success. It’s how we handle all that’.”

Suicide is not an option for the problem we had, it can be working out by talking it, praying it and accept it as the seasoning in life. Suicide only brings nothing but sadness, guilty feeling, humiliation, and question to people we loved.

It’s Cleared the Rumors in Brittany Murphy’s Death

Jenne — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:10:37 +0000

The cause of Brittany Murphy death has revealed four days ago. According to CNN the earlier statement from the coroner said that Murphy’s death caused by a combination of pneumonia.

The full autopsy report of the 32 years old actress who died December 20 in her Hollywood Hills home said,

“Multiple medications were present in the blood, with elevated levels of hydrocodone, acetaminophen, and chlorpheniramine. L-methamphetamine was also present, the pattern of use of these medications suggest treatment of symptoms of a cold or other respiratory infection.”

Simon Monjack shares his feeling and Brittany’s mom, Sharon feeling too, to AccessHollywood, that he and Sharon were grateful after read the final report and cried for almost two hours.

He said, “The tears were so mixed. Tears of the finality, tears of redemption and her name finally being cleared.”

Through the report also cleared the speculation regarding the Brittany’s appearance. He continues, “Everything was normal in her body. She hadn’t had plastic surgery. And for a woman who was accused on a regular basis of altering her appearance via cosmetic surgery, it now becomes laughable that people can’t spot the difference between an adolescent becoming an adult and a woman who has had plastic surgery,”

And Monjack could not understand for the “scrutinized in the media” on his marriage and his life after his wife’s death.

I guess, the fact that Simon Monjack’s name was not on Brittany’s will has cleared everything that media has scrutinized.

It’s not a shocking news for Monjack related to the news of his late wife’s will. Since he requested it to Brittany as he wanted to make sure that Sharon’s financial would be financially stable if something happen to his daughter.

“I was not included in Brittany’s will at my own request. I knew I would never need the money,” Monjack said. “Brittany and Sharon created Brittany’s incredible career together. The high earning years were behind her at the time we married and I always wanted Sharon to have financial security if God forbid anything happened to Brittany.

“Sharon has offered to split everything with me and I have declined,” Monjack said, noting that he will hold on to a few of Brittany’s personal belongings. “I will keep the hundreds of love letters that Brittany and I exchanged and my favorite black, cashmere hoodie that Brittany started to wear the first weekend we were together. It became her comfort zone.”

He added, ““The truth of it is, I was widowed and thank God I am in a financial position that I can be independent, I am the richest man in the world when it comes to memories.”

Andrew Koenig, 41, a pal of Mike (Kirk Cameron) in Growing Pains as Boner is missing. According to The Vancouver Sun, Andrew Koenig was last seen on Valentine day in Vancouver last week.

He arrived in Vancouver on February 10 and was due to fly out of Vancouver on February 16, but never boarded the flight. And reported missing on February 18.

Koenig’s father is actor Walter Koenig who played Pavel Chekov on the original Star Trek TV series wrote on his website, that his son was suffering from clinical depression at the time of his disappearance.

The last time he heard from Andrew by phone was on February 9, his mom, Judy says, “We last spoke to him on Feb. 8 or 9th. I had some surgery and he phoned from Toronto to see how I was doing, but he sounded a little distant.”

His father was distraught. “I only want to say he’s a really good person, a great humanitarian,” he said. “Everyone who knew him was very fond of him. He was not in a good frame of mind when he called us. He was depressed.”

About two years ago, Andrew got arrested during the Rose Bowl parade for protesting American involvement in China’s Olympics due to China’s support of the Burma military regime.

Koenig was acting to bring attention to the plight of the Burmese, stepping in front of the float midparade holding a sign that read, “China: Free Burma.” He was detained for 10 hours and was forced to go to court for his actions.

Andrew’s father is fully supported his son and said, “My son has a very strong social conscience and believes that people who are deprived and people who are unfairly subjugated should have the same rights that all people should have.”

Andrew Koenig’s closest friend for the last 20 years, Maggie Langrick, a former actor and Vancouver Sun editor said Stanley Park was a “special place” for Koenig and searching for him in the park this weekend.

She describes him as a “wonderful person with a very active social conscience.”

“He is vegan for ethical reasons, and an active supporter of many causes, environmental, animal rights, human rights — he is a very sensitive person who has struggled for a long time with depression. He has a lot of friends who love him deeply,” she said.

Langrick also said that lives in Vancouver was very happy ones for him and he often told his friends that Vancouver his true home and hoped to return here to stay. But his career seems not going well. He did remain in the entertainment business and recent years he did standup comedy, video editing, documentary work and hoped to direct the feature film that he’d written.

His friends and family are worried about him because he is believed to have sold or gave
away a number of his possessions before flying to Canada, where he paid brief visits to close friends in Toronto and Montreal, and then Vancouver. He also refused a job two weeks earlier, saying he “wasn’t going to work anymore.”
