I totally understand why he would be upset. It doesn't matter if you live in an apartment or the Hollywood Hills, if you have a jerky neighbor who thinks they can do what they want, it just ruins the quality of life!

The test cake and braille question

Yesterday I made a test cake for Saturday's birthday party. The recipe I used was given to me by my MIL in England. After she read her recipe to me, I hung up the phone and realized I would have to convert the British terms into American. Like gas 4 is equivalent to 350 degrees and caster sugar is called granulated sugar here. Anyway, the cake came out dry but the frosting came out good. Not sure if I really want to make the buttercream cake with icing as my husband is persisting I do. ("Because mum makes it best!" he says.)

That's fine but she's not here to make the cake! Tomorrow I start making the real cake. If it comes out sucky I am going to get a big one from Cold Stone Creamery!

Here is the photo of the test cake. I just wanted to see how the cake would come out and the frosting. I didn't bother with the fine details.

Doesn't it look crap? If someone were to serve me this at a child's birthday party I would sling it back at them! That said, I need a plan two!

On another note, how come there's braille on the keypad at the drive-thru bank teller machines? Are there blind people driving around and not telling us?

Ricky Martin strolling with his twins in NYC. He possibly did some jiggles along the way.

Was Katie Holmes smoking with Sean Penn behind the scenes at the SAG Awards?

Jessica Simpson looks like a Las Vegas cocktail waitress on her downtime! (I am talking about her outfit not her weight)

Rosie O'Donnell is halting her blogging. (She once posted a question by me on her blog). She says there's no joy anymore. When are you stopping your blog?

TMZ posted this video of John Mayer yapping about girth and other nonesense in his apartment. Supposedly it was taken from the trash outside, but I doubt that. Do you smell publicity stunt?
All I noticed is HOW freaking neat is his place?! Everything is so symmetrical it makes me think he must have OCD?

Cake Ingredients

This coming Saturday is my son's birthday party. (He is turning 3 on Monday!)

This morning I went to Crap-mart to get the cake ingredients for his requested "choo choo" cake. I decided that I will document the making of the cake on the blog this week. I quickly took this photo to show the ingredients as a step one to the blogging extravanga that is going to happen. Yep, that is a Dewers scotch bottle on the side. Whether it's to mix into the birthday cake or have it for the parents I won't say.

Molly Ringwald is pregnant with twins and wears a real bad looking dress

I did a double take with this photo. Molly Ringwald, 40, is now pregnant with fraternal twins. You know her from 16 Candles, Pretty In Pink and Breakfast Club. Now it looks like she'll be starring in 16 love handles, Hideous in Pink and She-Had-A-Big-Breakfast Club! Sorry Molly, don't like the maternity dress. If you're going to be back in the public eye, don't wear tight dresses with ruffles.

Also, is that Starbucks she's holding? I also notice the Caution Wet Floor sign there. Whoops! Don't fall Molly! (Man do I have nothing better to do tonight than to analyze the photo?)

Baby update and pop links

Hi! I've been busy the past few days with this little one! She is 3 and a half months old and doing great! However, I think this week she decided to sprout because she is eating A LOT! I've been nursing so much that I have no milk left and feel like an anorexic cow.

In other news, I started my other writing gig at Babble's Droolicious. Yes, you just can't get enough of me, can't you?

Also, visit Mogul Baby for I'm going to post another giveaway this week! Now let's do some pop links!

Which actor Googles himself? Newsweek did a roundtable with the likes of Brad Pitt and Robert Downey Jr.

Next time someone says, "Wow! You're turning 40?" I'll say, "Does Jennifer Aniston look 40?" She's planning a part-tay, that fabulous bitch!

Today the Oscar people announced the nominees. Here are the films up for best picture:

Best picture
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
"Frost/Nixon"
"Milk"
"The Reader"
"Slumdog Millionaire"

When I read this I keep thinking Frosted Flakes and Milk! Kellogg's must be sponsoring this list because I swear this is subliminal messaging.

I also have not seen any of the movies! What kind of former Warner Brothers employee am I? Have you seen any of these? Is it worth getting the pirate DVDs?

Cute thing my kid said

On Saturday I tuned into HBO and watched No Reservations, the Catherine-Zeta Jones movie where she tries to sound American but can't.

Toddler Mogul looked up from his toys, looked at the scene where Catherine and her co-worker chef are about to kiss and said, "That's her daddy."

A bearded Joaquin Phoenix a rapper?!

What is going on? I've only seen a couple of movies by Joaquin but maybe he should have stuck to acting! What do you think?

Who says room stickers can't be cool

So last night we placed wall decals in the kids rooms. Toddler Mogul kept flicking the light switch on and off to check out the moon and the stars which glow in the dark!



Cool cherry blossom decals decorate the baby's room.



Our bedroom still needs to get painted and not sure if we're going to put wall decals up. I think I want custom made decals that will send a message for Toddler Mogul. In big bold red letters it will read "KEEP OUT OF OUR BED!"

(The Cherry Blossom wall graphic is reviewed at Mogul Baby)

Rachel Zoe inspired tee and more fashion blurbs

I recently caught up with a marathon of Bravo's Rachel Zoe Project over the holidays and happy that they have renewed her show to a second season. If you haven't seen her show, she says a lot of catch phrases like "I die" and "bananas" a lot. Well, designer Christopher Suave has designed this "I die. Bananas" tee-shirt in homage to the celebrity stylist.

He also designed a "Save Anna" tee with Anna Wintour splashed on the front. Classic! What is behind Anna Wintour's sunglasses? What if there are only two black holes? Find more fashionable things at SevenNewYork.com

And if you like snarky fashion books, I really want to read Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster. It looks like something I would enjoy while wearing my "I die. Bananas" shirt!

Celebrities "swagging" at the Boom Boom Room

I was invited to this event and couldn't go because it took place in L.A. But I have the inside scoop with pics!

Over the weekend, 127 pregnant celebs and families turned out for the Boom Boom Room's Children Gifting Wonderland.

Chris Noth, Jodie Sweetin, Kelly Rutherford, Joely Fisher were among the invited who showed up for their swag. The event was to support the Los Angeles Foster Children and the Jayneoni Moore Children's Fund.

Jodie Sweetin picked up 4 pairs of Robeez shoes and Chris Noth and girlfriend Tara Wilson chose the "Baby Can Read" line of books. Christian Bale's wife Sibi Bale visited the Lego Playland asking for 2 packages of take home Legos - "one for a four year old, and one for a 35 year old. Christian is a huge fan and will play with these all day," she said.

Here's Joely Fisher holding up a cute bib.


And here's Tim Allen checking out the panties.


Sounds like a fun time! I wish I was able to make it!!

Semi living like cave people

We've been in our new house for almost a week now and the boxes that were strewn everywhere are now somewhat in an organized mess. Because Mr. Mogul is painting the upstairs bedrooms we are all sleeping in the living room. In the evenings, we huddle together in the family room in front of the fireplace and I suppose that was what it was like in caveman days.

"Arhhghahah..give me the remote. We have all these cable channels and nothing to watch! ahhhhgg..huggga huug," we grunt.

Today we bought Toddler Mogul a ceiling lamp for his bedroom. I know, it's kind of fancy for a little kids room but you can be classy at 3-years-old. Mr. Mogul stained the floors too. Here is the room so far:

Soon when we move the kid in, it will be a mess of toys and crumbs so I'm enjoying the clean look now! If we were cave people, we'd have a fire burning upside down on the ceiling!

Madonna's raunchy Louis Vuitton ad

Madonna wears monogrammed bottoms, fishnet stockings and the designer handbag on her heel in the new Louis Vuitton ad campaign.

Yes, I always look like this when I'm sitting at Starbucks. Just picture me on the couch shouting to the coffee girl: "Excuse me, can I have more foam in my latte please? Oh, and place a handful of creamers on my handbag for a dramatic effect."

Raunchy or sexy? Damn, this woman is 50!

Since this is a Madonna post I had to plug the audiobook of Brown Bear & Friends. It's read by her pal Gwyneth Paltrow!

Back on and pop links

I am alive! I was MIA for the past few days because we finally moved to our house! Yesterday the cable dude hooked the TV and Internet up which was a relief because watching hours of Spongebob and Thomas and Friends DVDs nonstop was driving me insane! Me, Mr. Mogul, the son and the baby are living among cardboard boxes and clothes in garbage bags. Our bedrooms aren't painted yet so we're all camping out in the living room. Arg! But at least I am back with the world.

I see I didn't miss much news wise in the world. I found out that CNN had nothing better to do either. They posted graphics on what Obama will look like in four years.

I also learned that Jennifer Love Hewitt is having a hard time after her breakup. People must have had a slow news day too!

I did learn from Cafemom about how hot Dierks Bentley is! I've heard of him so will have to check out his music video.

Then I stared at Anne Hathaway's fugly dress and thought it reminded me of a candy box.

Anyway, glad to be back watching television and surfing online again. Later! (I can't believe I wrote "cable dude")

Do you want to drink fancy water like Nicole Kidman?

Do we really need more fancy water? Nicole Kidman is a drinker of Tasmanian Rain, water that is captured as it falls from the clouds over Tasmania, Australia. (All I can picture is pails on the grass catching the rain.)

It's supposed to be ten times purer than spring and artesian water. The sparkling version contains the lowest sodium content of any carbonated water on the market, and let's face it: "Would you like a glass of pure unfiltered cloud juice from the cleanest skies on earth" does sound sexier than "tap or Dasani?".

According to Stylefile, the company has a new "Rainman" service, you can have bottles delivered to your doorstep any day of the week. Sign up online with the promotional code KELLEY, and you'll receive a complimentary case of 24 x 375 ml bottles each month. A case of 24 375ml bottles is $79.
