Dina Lohan to Star in Living Lohan

First it was Denise Richards, now it's Dina Lohan. These two Hollywood mamas are putting their lives (and their children's) up for display on reality television. The difference is that Dina's kids crave the attention just as much as her.

To see what the mom has up her sleeve, read more.

Maybe I'm out of line but it seems to me that Dina Lohan is riding the coattails of her star wild child Lindsay Lohan to make herself and her other children famous. Dina told Page Six that they decided to do a reality show because,

We have no choice. Tabloids and reality shows are not going away. If they know who Ali is as a person, it’s better.

Ali Lohan is an aspiring actress who wants to follow in her big sis's footsteps. Lindsay may make a guest appearance every now and then (surely unscripted, riiiight).

Call me crazy, but if my eldest child was in and out of rehab and posing nude on magazine covers, I'd hardly be pushing my 14–year–old daughter to do the same.

What do you think of Living Lohan?

Miley Cyrus Unbelted

Since they are in the spotlight, celebrities often bear the burden of being role models. Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana is the current girl de jour under the microscope. To read about her public gaffe, read more.

The seemingly sweet, Miley recently celebrated the release of her new 3–D movie Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour. And according to cinematical.com, a portion of the film reveals the pop singer and her achy-breaky famous father, Billy Ray, unbuckled in the back seat of a Range Rover en route to a concert rehearsal.

ConsumerReports.org is up in arms over the incident saying,

It seems to us that Miley, her father, and Disney had a perfect opportunity to help influence teens and counteract-rather than encourage-this trend.

While I strongly believe everyone should wear a seatbelt at ALL times, I think it's a tad harsh to spotlight the young songstress for negative behavior when so far, she's been near angelic compared to her Hollywood peers.

Update: Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus admitted to People magazine that they goofed:

We got caught up in the moment of filming, and we made a mistake and forgot to buckle our seatbelts. Seatbelt safety is extremely important.

What's your opinion of this seatbelt situation?

Should Divorced Couples Spend the Holidays Together?

LilSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:00:55 -0800

Jon and Kate are both planning on being home for the holidays this year. Despite the quarreling twosome's very messy and public divorce, Jon says that they will all be celebrating Christmas together as a family. Every divorce and family is unique and what works well in some broods may not work for others; critics say that it may give the children a false sense of what is really going on. Weigh in on the topic and tell us - do you think it's a wise decision for divorced couples to spend the holidays together as a family for the sake of the children?

Whether you're visiting the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, or trick-or-treating, most every family has some sort of Halloween tradition they follow year after year. Some do all or none of the above. As my children grow older, it is apparent that our once simple night of staying in and greeting neighborhood goblins is over and a long list of parties and candy collecting is ahead. What family traditions do you celebrate for the spooky holiday?

Operation Top Knot: Cheers to Military Mamas

babysugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:30:17 -0700

Every mother needs a helping hand every now and then. As a woman with two healthy children, a doting husband, a nanny and a gaggle of girlfriends to support me, it's tough to complain about the overwhelming demands of motherhood, but still, I do. Try being an expectant military wife whose husband is deployed. While some ladies sit at home fretting about the nursery decor, she sits up at night praying for his safe return. For many, the dilemma of the day is, "Which stroller should I buy?" Somewhere on a military base, the soldier's wife debates on who will help her through labor as her beloved flies a fighter jet continents away.

Thankfully, there are groups of generous people who take the time to honor the wives of soldiers (or the enlisted ladies themselves) and their impending arrival into motherhood. A project of nonprofit Soldiers' Angels, Operation Top Knot threw a baby shower for 32 pregnant military ladies in Las Vegas. They received handmade baby gifts of blankets, hats, and booties and celebrated the special occasion with cake, chocolate, games and of course, each other. If you want to volunteer for the cause, click here.
