The Daily Mis-Adventures of Niki

The Wayward Blogger Returns...

2010-03-12T19:23:00.004-05:00

Holy crap...it's been a long tome since I've posted a blog! Did you miss me?? I wish I could tell you that my absence was due to world traveling or something equally as exciting, but nope, that's not the case. I blame Twitter for my neglect of my beloved blog. After all, Twitter is a "micro blogging site". And you know me...I'm all about things that require a short attention span...oh, look! Is that a puppy?? I kid, I kid.
Anyhoo...I have been a little busy. Oh, I do have exciting news! I am buying my first home! If my closing ever actually happens, that is. My initial closing date was supposed to be February 18th. HaHa. It is now tentatively scheduled for March 23rd. We'll see. I can't wait because I am practically living out of boxes. Not fun. Sooo....my new place is a carriage home. It's all on one level upstairs, but my front door and attached garage are downstairs. It has 3 bedrooms, a den and 2 1/2 baths. And the best part? Wood floors throughout! No carpet...cue the Happy Dance! And now...I wait. It's kind of scary, exciting, bittersweet and a million other emotions that I can't even put into words.
On a sad note, my Grandma had to put her beloved dog Simba to sleep last Friday. She is heart broken, as you can imagine. He was 15. Poor little guy. So, to all of you that pray, please keep Grandma Sylvia in your prayers."Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really." ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Let's see...what else. Oh, I know. Let's talk Hollyweird. Corey Haim died. WTF? He was only 38. It's sad, but not shocking. He always seemed kind of tortured. Haylie Duff and Carrie Underwood are engaged. Not to each other. Now that would be newsworthy! Marie Osmond's 18 year old son committed suicide. Have you guys seen what Heidi Montag (who will now and forever more be known as "Franken-Heidi") did to herself? She looks 10 years older than she is. Yikes. She frightens me. We haven't even discussed TIGER, or should I say CHEETAH, WOODS yet! OMG! How crazy is that whole story?!? And the craziest part to me is that his wife is BEAUTIFUL and he was cheating on her with total trashbags. Ewww! Epic fail, Tiger! Speaking of trashbags, did y'all watch "Jersey Shore"?? Loves it! Must see TV...right up there with "Real Housewives". Speaking of reality TV....did you guys think the Bachelor was crazy when he picked Vienna?? I did. I think I threw up in my mouth when it aired. Yuck! Ok...well that's all I've got for right now.

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy

2009-12-20T17:35:00.003-05:00

From TMZ.com: Brittany Murphy died early this morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived, multiple sources tell TMZ.
She was 32.
A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ.
We're told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Her time of death was listed as 10:04 AM.
Murphy starred in such films as "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word." Murphy was reportedly fired from last film, "The Caller," after reports she was problematic on set.
UPDATE 3:11 PM ET -- Sources tell TMZ Brittany Murphy's mom discovered her unconscious in the shower. We're told when paramedics arrived, they quickly determined Murphy was in full cardiac arrest and immediately administered CPR. They continued CPR in route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center -- several miles away -- and Murphy was unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
We're told the LA County Coroner's is picking up Murphy's body from Cedars later today and will launch a death investigation.

Ok. Before I start, let me say that I really liked her. I love, love, love "Clueless" and "Uptown Girls". And I thought she was adorable. But, I also think that she had either an eating disorder or a drug problem. Let's face it. Healthy 32 year olds don't just drop dead from cardiac arrest. And, Lindsay Lohan...I hope you are paying attention, because it could've been you.

Old Friends Are The Best Friends...

2009-08-16T20:10:00.003-04:00

Hey, All! Hope everyone is doing well. It was Lissy's birthday yesterday.

Happy Birthday to my Bestie....Looking great for 29. Again. LOL!My girl Toni Marie's birthday was also yesterday...Happy birthday, Girlie!Today is The Material Girl's birthday...

Happy birthday, Madonna! Loves her!Next up, on a sad note...I attended a funeral yesterday. My ex-boyfriend W's father passed away. So sad...I remember him as such a nice man.

Anyway, since I am good friends with W & his brother M, I went. I met my girl Susan at a Starbucks before the service, and I really had to pee, so I grabbed the first spot I saw...well, ok, not the FIRST spot, because the first spot was parallel parking, and I can't parallel park, but you get the idea. So I am sitting with her, drinking coffee and for some reason, I reached up and was playing with the neckline of my dress. Thank G*d I did, because I felt the label...my dress was on BACKWARDS! I had already been to the hairdresser and driven for two hours to get to Delray. With my dress on backwards.

As Alissa would say..."Are you kidding me?" I was so mortified that I didn't even say anything to Susan...I just took my happy self to the restroom and changed my dress. Then, as we walk towards my car, Susan turns to me with a perplexed look and says "You're handicapped?" I'm like "No...why?" She points to my car, which is clearly parked in a handicapped spot. I'm like WTF, did they put that sign up while I was in the Starbucks, because it was so not there when I parked. Then I checked for a ticket...Huge sigh of relief...NO TICKET! Hooray for me. Then we make our way to the church, where we have to park in dirt. In case you were wondering...stiletto heels and dirt don't mix well. At all. I almost ate sh*t walking across the parking lot. Yikes! The church was packed. With NO air circulation. It made me sweat just looking at the men in their suits & ties.

Poor guys. It was a very nice service. VERY long, but very nice. We said hello to W as we left the church {{Big hugs}}...Susan: "I don't remember him being so good looking."Me: "I do."Susan: "He's hot."Me: "Uh-huh."The cutest thing was when his little brother saw me and made a beeline for me and gave me a big hug. I can't even believe that A.) he remembered me & 2.) he recognized me. Even though W said "You look the same. Except your lips are bigger."Me: "You're very kind to say that, but unfortunately, everything is bigger."W: "I'm not exactly slim anymore myself."(He always was smooth...sigh.)

Susan & I did not go to the cemetary, we elected to go grab some alcoholic beverages instead...we figured that's for family. So, W asked us to meet him back at the house after the burial, which we did. I'm going to make the understatement of the universe right now and say that we got a lukewarm reception from the girls that were there. As in, if looks could kill, you'd be attending my funeral right now. Uncomfortable, Party of two...your table is ready. Whatevs.

Needless to say, we didn't stay for very long. But, it was great to see W...he looks the same. And M...he is my boy...I that kid. Always have, always will. Then I had to drive home while it was raining sideways. Good times, my friends, good times. But I made it home in one piece. Have a great week, Peeps!

Yoga, Tennis And Golf...Oh, My!

2009-07-08T20:39:00.005-04:00

Ok...I know, I know...I've been very lax in the blog updating department. Sorry, sorry! And...there is so much to talk about! Let me give you my disclaimer for why I have been neglecting my blog. I have decided to take up some new activities, and by some I mean...TOO MANY! As in...
Yoga,

Tennis,

Golf...

And... Working out with a trainer!
So...I've been busy. For reals. And sore. And tired. Ugh! A quick rundown of my activities: I do yoga with Lissy...like it, even though I pulled a muscle in my abs last week.
Tennis with Lissy, too. Loves it! Totally cute clothes...of course I love it! Golf is with Jacob. Golf is super frustrating and I hit the ball...oh, about 40% of the time. I told the pro that if the object of the game was moving grass around I'd be a Superstar! I go to the Y to meet my trainer twice a week...he's a GREAT trainer, and I am NOT an easy client. We box sometimes and I am really feeling that. Who me? Angry? Noooo....LOL!
Ok, that is enough about me. On to the Celebs.

You may not have heard (if you live under a rock), but Michael Jackson died.

Say what you want about his freakish ways, but the man was a musical genius! I have been playing the AOL Radio All Michael Jackson station (Sorry, Alissa!) and he had so many great songs. Did you guys watch the Memorial Service? I was ok until his daughter spoke. Then it was "Cue the waterworks". So sad.Perhaps you can find an article or two on him and his death in the mags this week? Ok. Now, let's talk about Steve McNair's death.
Poor Steve. He's getting NO LOVE from the media because of all of the MJ hype. But the circumstances of his death are totally bizarre-o! Everyone is trying to figure out what killed MJ. "Good morning. It was drugs. Case closed." But I am trying to figure out the Steve McNair drams. According to reports, he was killed in a murder-suicide by his 20 year old side bitch. Yikes! She shot him 4 (count them...1, 2, 3, 4) times while he slept on the couch. Was that necessary??
Here's a pic of Steve & his "jump off" on vacay from TMZ.comI am reserving judgement until we hear the whole story, but it seems to get shadier and shadier! I am going to go to bed now, Lovies...have a great night! Muah!

R.I.P. Farrah

2009-06-29T06:53:00.002-04:00

Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with Cancer on June 25th. She was 62.

Guess Who's Back, Back Again...

2009-05-26T21:46:00.003-04:00

No, not Eninem. Me! Ok, well, technically, I guess he is back...but whatevs. Sorry I have been gone, but I must confess. I have a bit of a Twitter addiction. It's true. I think an intervention is in order. Anyhoo...

So I am watching the yumminess that is Lebron James, um I mean Game 4 of the Eastern Finals. The Cavs came to win tonight...it's about time. For a team that has swept every series leading up to this one, I'm not that impressed. But, what the hell? More chances to see King James! I'm with it. For all of you that haven't watched the NBA since back in the day (It was a Wednesday...and MJ was playing)...Newsflash! The NBA is exciting again! And...23 is back. In the form of Lebron. He's the bomb like tick, tick....Ok, let me stop drooling and move onto current events. By that I mean gossip...LOL.
On a sad note, Mike Tyson's 4 year old daughter died today as a result of "accidentally hanging herself on a treadmill". Um, why was a 4 year old left un-attended near a treadmill? I'm just saying...
On a hypocritical note, devout Catholic Mel Gibson's girlfriend is pregnant. Is the ink even dry on that mofo's divorce papers?? Fornicators, Party of Two...your table is ready. In hell. Guess this falls under "Do as I say, not as I do", huh?
On a f**ked up note, have you seen all the drams surrounding Jon & Kate Plus Eight?!? Who has time to have extra marital affairs with eight kids?? Hey, guys...maybe more parenting, less f**king. Kthanxbye.
That's about all the gossip I've got...I know...slow month.
Ok, gotta go watch the 2nd quarter...Go, Cavs!
Goodnight, Lovies!

P.S. Try Twitter. It's like crystal meth. But legal. And it won't make you skinny. Oh, well...try it anyway...LOL!

Top 10 Reasons That Breaking Up Sucks...

2009-04-09T11:23:00.004-04:00

10. You are suddenly "me" instead of "we"...totally need to shift gears.

9. You have to answer the "Where is so-and-so?" question. Really?? Must I explain for the gazillionith time?

8. You have to take care of your own pets and take out the trash again...That sucks.

7. You can't call him to ask him some obscure question when you totally know he would know the answer.

6. You can't talk to his Mom anymore, no matter how much you loved her. (And you are stuck wondering what the hell he told her about you anyway)

5. You don't get to see his dog anymore (I miss Tyson) or send the doggie prezzies anymore.

4. You have to worry about him spilling all your secrets...that really blows.

3. You get really lonely at night...and you shouldn't really call your girlfriends at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday, even though they tell you too...they don't REALLY mean it.

2. You are on an emotional rollercoaster...Mood swings, Party of One!!! (Crying one minute, pissed off the next, wanting to call him, not wanting to call him...)

And the Number 1 Reason That Breaking Up Sucks is...(DRUMROLL, Puh-lease)...You have to hear every SINGLE thing that everyone you are close to disliked about him but were too afraid to tell you while you were with him. (FYI...from me & Lissy...if you don't like your bestie's boyfriend, you need to tell her. If she gets mad at you then your friendship wasn't that strong anyway.)

Happy Thursday!

2009-04-09T07:06:00.002-04:00

Good morning, Lovies! Hope everyone is doing well on this Thursday morning...you should be...I mean, HELLO! It's almost Friday!! I am sitting here with Noah (my nephew). We are in bed...he's playing baseball on his DS and obvs, I am on the computer. I'm up early, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to blog. I am with Noah because I'm taking him to school today because Little Joshie is having tubes put in his ears and his adnoids removed today...so positive thoughts to him today, please, everyone! Anyways, we had a slumber party last night...Fun! After the kiddies went to bed, we watched Role Models, and it was soooooo funny. Loved it! I posted some new pics in the post below this one...my hair is a little different now and I have pink AND purple in it.
Uh-huh...that and an eternal 12 year old...with lots of disposable income. What a dangerous combination! You may have noticed that I took down my Top Ten list. Ryan sent me an email explaining that a "friend" had let him know about it and he was upset. So, I took it down because I feel really sad that things between us had to get so ugly (and public)...so I'm trying not to fuel that fire. How can love turn to hate so fast? I guess it's like they say...there's a thin line between love and hate, huh?? And honestly, even though I have a lot of not so nice things to say now, obvs it wasn't all bad...there were lots of good times as well. So, I am going to try to honor our relationship and remember the way that we used to feel about each other, and try not to be a b***h. Damn, that's going to be hard...not because of him, just because it's in my nature.
You know me...I just say what I think.
And besides...

I got this...LOL. Ok...got to get myself and Noah dressed so we can get our day started! Have a great day!

These are the flowers that Jacob (on his own...Lissy didn't even know) sent me the day after Ryan and I broke up. And...he's the reason I'll be single forever, because...honestly...do other men like him exist?!?

So Sad...

2009-03-18T23:37:00.002-04:00

Actress Natasha Richardson died today :(
From people.com: Natasha Richardson has died after suffering head injuries from a fall on a Canadian ski slope Monday. She was 45. Her family released the following statement: "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Really sad. Her sons are 12 and 13. Poor things.

And...speaking of sad, Ryan and I are O-V-E-R for good. I don't want to rip him on here. Well, ok...I kinda do, but I won't. Suffice it to say that it was NOT a good break up. As in I had to change my phone numbers, so hit me up if you need my new ones.

Reunited And It Feels So...GROSS!?!

Say it isn't so, Ri Ri! Rihanna and her abuser Chris Brown are supposedly together at P Diddy's Star Island home in Miami. From usmagazine.com: Rihanna and Chris Brown have reconciled, Usmagazine.com confirms. Nearly three weeks after Brown allegedly battered the singer, the couple have got back together. “She’s not listening to anyone,” says a Rihanna pal. “And of course Puff got involved in this.” Oh, really, Ri Ri! Let me guess...he only hit her because he loves her so much and she provoked the whole thing because she made him so angry. Please hold...I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth. Rihanna, have you heard the old saying "Hit me once, shame on you. Hit me twice, shame on me!" I don't think there will be the same outpouring of sympathy if she takes him back and he hits her again. Don't do it, Girl :(

So, I am currently totally obsessed with Twitter. I'm like Charlotte and the Rabbit in Sex And The City, but with my computer/iPhone, not my B.O.B.

I think I may need an intervention ala How I Met Your Mother! However, if any of you are on Twitter or join Twitter at my suggestion, my user name is nikisaprincess. Follow me and I'll follow you!
After the Tao at the Groomer debacle, Ryan and I had the bright idea (Why do bad scenarios always start with a bright idea?!?) to start grooming the dogs ourselves. With clippers. Yes, I will pause so that you can shake your head and say "WTF?". Well, we started with poor little Tai Tai...the older, grouchier one. I know, I know. The whole notion was ill-conceived and just plain bad. We had a leash on him and the stupid cone shaped collar from Tao's recent stint as a patient so that he wouldn't bite us. It was like a comedy routine. And...he is now officially

Um...oops. I said to Ryan "Well the upside of this is that Tao is now back to being the prettier one." Much like March, he came in looking like a lion and left looking like a lamb. That got into a fight with a razor. And the razor won. Yikes! And he was pissed at us. Rightfully so.
Ok...gotta go get dressed.

Going To The Chapel...

From usmagazine.com yesterday: Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady wed today at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, Calif., Usmagazine.com confirms.
The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.
Congrats to them! I am annoyed because I sent a tip to perezhilton.com about this and it was used, but I didn't even get a thank you. Not nice. No more tips for you!

Is anyone else so over the OctoMom?!? OMG...this b***h needs to go somewhere already! As if our economy was not sh***y enough, we need to foot the bill for the hospital stay of these eight babies. The Suleman octuplets' medical costs have not been disclosed, but in 2006, the average cost for a premature baby's hospital stay in California was $164,273, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Eight times that equals $1.3 million.
For a single mother, the cost of raising 14 children through age 17 ranges from $1.3 million to $2.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (from yahoonews.com) Lovely. Doesn't the doctor at least have a MORAL or ETHICAL, if not legal, obligation to be sure that the prospective mother has health insurance and can afford the birth and/or hospital stay of these babies?!? And, WTF would you implant 6 embryos into an UNEMPLOYEED, single mother of six who lives in a 3 bedroom/1 bathroom house any f**king way?!? Um, hello?!? And the comparisons to Angelina? As if. Angelina has Brad, more money than G*d, multiple mansions and nannies galore. And FYI-we are not paying for Angie's kids. They can have as many as they want as far as I am concerned, because unlike the Picasso version of Angelina (A.K.A. OctoMom), they can afford them!! (Excuse me while I hop off of my soapbox) That's all I have to say about that.

I am currently obsessed with Twitter. Does anyone that reads my blog Tweet? If so, please let me know...my user name is nikisaprincess! Ryan is going to send me to internet rehab between Twitter and Facebook...yikes! Ok, gots to go get ready! Happy Friday, Lovies!

And Baby Makes Four...

From people.com: Here they go again! Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are expecting another child, barely a year after the arrival of daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden last Jan. 11. In a message on the Web site of Good Charlotte, the band he fronts, Madden, 29, wrote, "I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope [you're] all feeling as good as i am right now." Madden's message is titled "Better than winning an OSCAR!"Awww, that's cute!

Me and Ryan...Valentine's Day at The Melting Pot (before I got sick)
My little injured Tao with his brother Tai Tai

Happy Day After Valentine's Day...By That I Mean I Forgot To Blog Yesterday!

2009-02-15T14:59:00.006-05:00

Hi, all! I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! Mine was really great until about 3/4 the through dinner, when the fact that I had too many drinks hit me. So not cool. Let me start at the beginning. We were out running errands, etc. during the day and my neck was really bothering me when we got home. So, I decided to take a muscle relaxant and lay down for a few hours. I felt good when I woke up, took a shower, got ready....We went to The Melting Pot with Christie and Mike. I had a few drinks...who knew that their drinks were so strong, anyway?!? I was fine through the cheese (yum!) and salad. Then, during the main course, I got kinda skeeved out because we were all dipping in the same pot, so I didn't really eat much of much. But I kept drinking...LOL! All of a sudden, I was super tired, I could barely keep my head up and I felt like I was losing my motor functions...as in I kept dropping s**t, including chocolate down the front of my dress and on my boobs...Lovely. I looked at Ryan and said "I'm totally drunk". During the chocolate course (double yum!), I broke out into a cold sweat and I felt as though I was going to either puke or pass out. So, Ryan took me outside for some fresh air, and I started to feel a little better. The moral of the story is...maybe chasing a muscle relaxant with several tequila based drinks is not a good idea. Duh! For a smart girl, sometimes I do very stupid things, huh? So, I'm sort of nursing a hangover today. Yuck. My honey got me candy and other assorted prezzies, which was very thoughtful. Except that he got me strawberry, and I hate strawberry (Ryan: "Oh, you like cherry? I thought it was strawberry" Me: "Um, no...I hate strawberry and I've told you that a bunch of times already.") and no flowers. Uh-huh. No flowers, which was the ONLY thing that I really wanted. Oh, well...he tried.
J Lo and her gross husband Skeletor pimped out, I mean showed off their twins at his concert. Awww...they really are cuties!

Ryan and I were just saying that it's been a week and no statement from Ike Turner, I mean Chris Brown OR Rihanna. And, then look what I just found on perezhilton.com: After more than a week of silence, alleged girlfriend beater Chris Brown just issued a statement about the incident this past weekend!
He says:
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."
I smell a trip to rehab coming very soon...And, um, couldn't he have mentioned Rihanna by name?!?

Hmmmm...wtf is in the water in Hollyweird these days?!?

Lots of new pregnancies to report.

Elizabitch Hasselbeck is preggo again...didn't she just pop one out? Kate Moss is knocked up. So is Mira Sorvino...I know, yawn...where has she been? Dave Grohl's wife is also with child. Kelis and Nas are expecting. So are Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas, Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin, Hank Azaria, Angie Everheart (who is not naming the baby daddy ala Minne Driver), Bobby Brown and his non-famous girlfriend (what is this, number ten, Bobby?), Chad Lowe (not with Hilary swank), Niki Taylor, Lance Armstrong, Carson Daly, Anne Heche and Jill Scott. Oh, and Molly Ringwald is expecting boy/girl twins (so trendy!) I told you there was something in the water!

Now, let's talk recent births.

It's a boy for rapper M.I.A., Kevin Costner, Tiger Woods, Good Charlotte guitarist Billy Martin, Lizzie Grubman, Lil' Mo, Jo Dee Messina and Charlotte Church.

It's a girl for Kiss's Paul Stanley, Erykah Badu (she named her daughter Mars Mercaba, for G*d's sake!), Cry-Baby actress Amy Locane, Alison Sweeney, and Eagles backup quarterback Kevin Kolb.

Happy Almost Valentine's Day!

2009-02-12T08:16:00.004-05:00

Mandy Moore and Bryan Adams are engaged. Is that odd to anyone else?!? WTF? How did these two even meet? Very strange...
Now, from an odd couple to a perfect match: Courtney Love and Mickey Rourke are supposedly dating. Who says opposites attract?!? Yikes!

So...are you all getting ready for Valentine's Day? I'm excited! I haven't been in a relationship on Valentine's Day in a very long time, and I am really looking forward to this one. The pressure is on, Ryan! We are going to The Melting Pot for dinner on Saturday with our friends Christie and Mike, so it should be fun. And yummy! Ryan had a dinner date last night. With my Mommy! How cute is that? She took him out for a belated birthday dinner. Awwww! I am sitting here listening to Tai Tai snore his a** off...that must be some deep sleep that he is in! And, poor little Baby Tao is curled up in a ball with the e-collar around his head. So sad. He just looks so miserable.

Oh, and speaking of my spiteful little Tao, let me tell you what the little brat did last night. Ryan and I (at Ryan's insistance) got them each a bed. We put Tai Tai's bed on the floor next to my side of our bed and Tao's on Ryan's side. And, they've actually taken to the beds really well...surprisingly well! So, last night Tao walked over to Tai Tai's bed and proceeded to pee a river...as in I've never seen so much pee come out of such a little dog, he must've been saving it up for this occasion. Poor Tai Tai ran up to his bed, looked at Tao, then looked at me as if to say "WTF? That dude just peed on my bed!" And Tao gave him a very smug, self-satisfied look as if to say "Yeah, that's right. I peed on your bed, and Mom is not even going to yell at me because I'm injured. HaHa." Then he goes to his own bed, plops himself down and shoots Tai Tai another dirty look like "My bed is so comfy, you have no bed...Ha Ha!" I just shook my head and threw Tai Tai's bed into the washing machine. Needless to say, Tai Tai slept in bed with me last night. (Sorry, Ryan...it had to be done!)Ok, I have to get up and get ready now....I'll try to write more later.Toodles!

Tao The Patient

Awwww....isn't he so pathetic?!?

So You Think You Had A Bad Day?!?

2009-02-10T18:32:00.005-05:00

Let me tell you about my day yesterday.

I took my little Tao to the groomer...he was overdue. On the way there, he took a nice big s**t. In my Mercedes. On the passenger seat. Deeeeeee-scusting! Then, the groomer called me a few hours later and said "Your dog is being terrible. He won't let us give him a bath. He was screaming and biting when we tried to put him in the tub." Um, okay... so I went to pick him up and brought him back to my office. We were all teasing him, telling him he was such a bad boy, blah, blah, blah. All of a sudden, I noticed that his left eye was filled with blood. As in, the entire white of his eye was red. And it was swollen. It looked like his eye was going to pop out. So gross. I ran him over to his vet, and she sent us up to a doggie opthamologist. He said that Tao essentially bruised his eye, so there shouldn't be any lasting damage.

If you are a loyal reader, you know that Tao is not having it when he's at the doctor's office, so they had to sedate him (with an I.V.) and stitch his eye in the corner so that he would be able to close it. They had to shave half of his face, and he pretty much has a black eye. Oh, and a purple ace bandage around his foot where the I.V. was. And an E-collar. And, he's shaved. Poor little Peanut! Suffice it to say we won't be calling him the prettier one for a little while...Tai Tai is probably loving it! When I went to pay the $620.00 bill, I asked the receptionist "So, what happens if people don't have the money to pay?" (She looks me up and down, pausing on my Gucci purse and sunglasses, and sighs as if to say "WTF do you care?") "Their dogs go blind." Wow. Wow! Holy coldness, Batman! No payment plan? Dayum!
Ok, let's move onto Hollyweird, shall we?
So...I've been reading tons of stuff on the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna debacle. Everyone is trying to figure out why he beat her up, and rumors are running like wildfire across the net. One rumor has him flipping out on her because she gave him herpes. Where did she get herpes? Well, according to the rumormill, from Jay Z. Um, wouldn't Beyonce have a problem with that?!? Also, lots of reports that she's way needy and clingy. Not a reason to beat her a**, though! There's also a rumor that he broke her jaw. Yikes...hope that one's not true!
From starmagazine.com: Hours before his alleged violent outburst, Chris Brown seemed detached from his girlfriend Rihanna at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy bash on Feb. 7 in Beverly Hills. And during the party Chris turned his attention to sexy British songbird Leona Lewis, says an insider. “At one point, Rihanna caught Chris flirting with Leona,” says a source. “They were carrying on and laughing, and Rihanna saw Chris with his hand on the small of Leona’s back. It may have been innocent, but that set Rihanna off.”
Bossip.com just received the real story of Chris Brown and Rihanna’s fight from a highly placed source in the Chris Brown legal camp:
"They were in the car leaving the Clive Davis party. While Chris was driving, he got a phone call from a young lady. Our source tells us that Rihanna knew that Chris had been messing around with this particular girl and she has, as of late, been the reason for many of their heated arguments. Rihanna got a glimpse of the phone, saw the name and number and immediately recognized who it was. She went ballistic and began to “beat the sh*t” out of Chris (while driving). She was so uncontrollable, that Chris began to fight back in self defense, which ensued the fight. Rihanna’s rage stemmed from Chris’ questionable fidelity in the last few months."
Take this with a grain of salt (rimming a Margarita glass...LOL) because it is from his people.
Update on Usher's wife: Reports say she was rushed into intensive care on Friday, after a medical emergency during a liposuction operation in Brazil. She supposedly suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest as she was being anesthetized for the cosmetic surgery. Where there not enough plastic surgeons to choose from in L.A.? Seriously? Stooo-pid!
If you've been hearing reports that DJ Khaled was involved in a high speed chase with the LAPD, it's not true...he's in Miami.
Jessica Simpson should be sending thank you notes to Chris Brown and RiRi because no one gives a s**t about her getting fat anymore! Oh, and Michael Phelps' pot smoking...so yesterday! From usmagazine.com: Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight will soon take off their scrubs for good, their Grey's Anatomy costar James Pickens Jr. (a.k.a. Grey's Dr. Richard Webber) confirms. They are smart, because that show is actively jumping the shark.
We haven't even talked about the freak show that is the mother of the octuplets. Doesn't she look like she's had a LOT of plastic surgery? What's up with her face? Ewwww! Did we the taxpayers pay for that the same way we are going to have to support her and her 14 kids?? Ridiculous! And...why the f**k does Congress care if A Rod took steroids? Don't they have bigger fish to fry, like oh, I don't know...our collapsing economy or the war that we are in?!? And, last but not least, I want to wish a very to my friend Christie...her bday is tomorrow...29 again! Ok, I'm going to go try to sleep because I was up all night with my little guy.

An Update on Chris Brown Beating Rihanna's A**

2009-02-10T08:08:00.003-05:00

From TMZ.com: Law enforcement sources have now gotten specific with us... police took pictures of Rihanna's injuries and they are "horrific."As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face -- there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.And we now know this... Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that's what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.Rihanna refused treatment at the scene, but before she left cops took photos. We're told the photos alone are "devastating proof of abuse."And we've learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.
Um...looks like Chris Brown is "If You Seek Amy"'d, huh??
