Addicting Desserts

I love Anderson Cooper as much as he loves Crack Pie. The incredibly decadent dessert made famous by Mr. 360 himself during a recent guest stint on Regis and Kelly, and sold at Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City, is supposedly to die for. The way Cooper describes his obsession for the rich dessert is the way I wish he would wax poetic about his adoration for moi. Unfortunately, the cable news hunk is just not that into me… or my gender. Fortunately, I have my own to die for desserts to drown my sorrows in. They may not … Continue reading →

Analyze This

You know that dream where everyone in the world hates you, but somehow you gain an invitation to compete on Iron Chef America where the secret ingredient is barley and one of the guest judges is Anderson “I love me some Crack Pie” Cooper, and you burn fish so badly that it looks like chicken until you pull back the skin and a sea of pin bones are revealed, and suddenly the entire kitchen goes up in flames… What do you mean you don’t remember that one? I get that one all the time, which probably explains why my 8-year-old … Continue reading →

Virtual Brag Book

I’m a parent, but I’m not on Facebook. So, if you want to see random photos of my cute kid, you have to come to my house or check in with this blog on a regular basis because I’m not looking to hop on the Facebook bandwagon anytime soon… or ever. GASP! Right? I know. I am a member of a dying breed. Everybody’s doing it, so why am I holding out? I’m waiting for Anderson Cooper to feature me on a show dedicated to non-Facebook users under the age of 60. I’ll work it like a virgin. After all, … Continue reading →

Snapping Stars

Not Ryan Reynolds, Anderson Cooper or William Levy, the Cuban hunk who just shook his groove thing on “Dancing with the Stars.” Talk about a celestial body. Sizzle, sizzle. No, I’m referring to the stars that illuminate the night sky. Picture this: The other day my daughter and I were taking advantage of the summer-like temperatures with a late evening stroll. Just as we got to the end of our street we gazed upward and saw two separate stars that shone like beacons against the pitch black sky. My daughter immediately wished upon them. Turns out they were planets. So … Continue reading →

The Look of Love

What’s your look of love? Does it include a dreamy smile, glazed over eyes and raised eyebrows? That’s what my face looks like whenever I see Dean Cain, Jason Bateman, Anderson Cooper (I know) and Ryan Reynolds… with their shirts off. I prefer not to think about the looks they’d give me if it they were to catch me looking at them. Why ruin a good dream? With Valentine’s Day right around the corner many shutterbugs are trying to capture a frame worthy look of love to gift to their sweetheart. Others skip the surprise element all together and strike … Continue reading →

Pre-Tween Crushes

I used to think my dream guy was an amalgamation of Michael J. Fox, Jason Bateman and JFK Jr., but now I think he is more a mixture of Anderson Cooper, Richard Engel and Dean Cain… though I could be wrong. Still, a crush is a crush, and the feelings I had for Jason Bateman when I was in junior high school are as real as the ones swooning Justin Bieber fans have today. Yes, I kissed a life-size cut-out of “The Hogan Family” star and drooled over magazine photos of the former president’s hunk of a son; however, I … Continue reading →

The Risks of Photojournalism

The crisis in Egypt has dealt a blow to CNN’s Anderson Cooper—-a head blow. Actually, several head blows. According to the cable news network, Cooper, his producer and photographer were attacked by a group of rowdy demonstrators loyal to embattled president Hosni Mubarak. “The attackers pushed and shoved the CNN crew and punched them in the head, but no one was seriously hurt,” according CNN.com. Cooper’s colleague Steve Brusk tweeted that Cooper was “punched 10 times in the head.” Cooper himself revealed on CNN’s American Morning a few hours ago that he was spat on, kicked and pushed, as he … Continue reading →

Mommy Crushes

Grown women go gaga over 16-year-old pop star Justin Bieber… there’s just something inherently wrong with that scenario. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Did you see the episode of “Saturday Night Live” where Tina Fey played a high school teacher smitten with a student played by Bieber? “I don’t know whether I want to marry him or put him in a stroller and push him around the mall,’’ Fey’s character ponders in a dreamy baby girl voice-over. So much for motherhood being connected with adulthood… and completely disconnected to youth culture. These days moms are getting … Continue reading →
