I will never understand this whole forbidding TV/magazines crap that so many parents try to do these days. Forbidding anything just makes it taboo to a child, making them crave it more than they would if they got it in small doses.
It’s not like TV is the same as it was when most of us were kids either. My daughter is only 2 and 90% of what she watches on TV is at least semi-educational. We’ve got things like Baby Einstein, Word World, Super Why, Seasame Street/Elmo’s World, ect.
I don’t know why I’m looking for logic here though, it obviously has a lot less to do with wanting what’s best for her children than it does with her wanting to ‘put them in their place’ (seriously, who talks about their kids like that? That’s the kind of crap you expect to hear from a prison guard talking about convicts).
You know, they just gave me a new computer here at work, a brand new Dell with a 21″ screen. Now it’s spewed with Coke just like the other one was. Great article, Jaybird. Madonna the Impaler! Gotta love it.
Ugh she is weird. Imagine if you’re in the middle of sex and someone calls you on your Blackberry… how romantic. But then once again the idea of Madge and Guy Ritchie having sex is a bad mental image.
In an interview recently she said of her new album that it was difficult doing an album with Justin and Timberland because she had to share ‘diva space’ and she was used to all the attention being on her. Can you imagine being -married- to this woman? Excuse me, I need my diva space. Get over yourself woman! She is so egotistical. I hope Guy is at least having an affair with some hot younger woman so being married to this hag isn’t such a daily struggle!
It’s sad that she never heard the great Zsa Zsa Gabor quote, “There comes a time in a woman’s life when she must choose between her face and her ass.”
Her obsession with being thin hasn’t done her face any favors, and she’s turning to plastic surgery and botox to make herself look “younger.” The result? She’s got that scary Wayland Flowers and Madame look to her.
At her induction into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame, she barely looked like herself. Oh, and a fifty-year-old woman with a teenage daughter doesn’t need to be wearing see-through hot pants. I don’t care if she has the “smokin’ hot bod” to pull it off. It’s mutton dressed up as lamb.
i guess I’m a bad mother. my kids watch tv when ever they like and totally put me in my place.
they also have been reading since 3 years old and one was writing legibly about the same time, are tops in their class and always test in the top 5% of their class…
oh, and they are happy, hysterical, super funny kids who sometime throw tantrums and have waaaay too many toys.
Funny, they sound like my dh and myself. BBs for morning alarms and late night notes…if you are in the creativity biz it’s great. Dreamland rings on ideas and “don’t forget” moments you know? No TV here either which makes for lower bills and more quality and leisure time. Guess we’re freaks too…healthy, kind, normal working class people with BBs.
Who cares. ‘4 minutes’ sucks. Madonna needs to retire, already.

the only knight i can see madonna as is a monty pythonesque one. a silly simple one who takes herself oh so seriously.
It is just me or does Madonna look more and more like Lance Armstrong every day.
I didn’t realize the key to staying youthful was the physique of a man.
If they sleep with thier blackberry’s under their pillows that implies that their pillows don’t move around much during the night which is telling.
besides what a crock! If they were desperate to keep their blackberry’s near, they’d keep them on the bedside table
How stupid does she think we are?
Madonna has a bigger dick than her husband does.
Just sayin’
can’t wait for the truth to come out in her kids’ tell all book…..lets see who’s in control then
so madge sleeps with her blackberry under her pillow, does she? and i thought it was a vial of virgin’s blood.
