Bits and Pieces

Life is so crazy right now, y'all. Isn't January supposed to be long, gray, slow and boring? It's been awfully gray and cloudy lately, but as for slow - it's not happening.

Work is crazy, getting to the gym (and finding a parking spot!) is a struggle and finding time to whip up dinner is wearing me out. Hats off to you parents who juggle ten thousand things all year round!!

I promise I'm not whining, just sharing the tiny reasons I haven't been as chatty lately. I have much to share and even more I want to hear about your holidays.

So there's more to come and very soon, I assure you. In the meantime, please take a peek at the bits and pieces that have been most fascinating in the not-gray, not work-related celebrity world.

-Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn had their twin daughters this week. And named them....wait for it....Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose. Dolly after their favorite singer Ms. Parton; Charlie after Jerry's brother, a former TV Bachelor. I'm going to save comment for another day, because I just don't know where to start!

-In a similar vein, Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacman Pacquiao and his wife Jinky named their baby Queen Elizabeth. Yes, you read that correctly. Little comes close to Jermajesty Jackson, nephew of king of pop (and king of normalcy) Michael, but this is an impressive attempt.

-And in a delicious piece of news as we work off the holiday pounds, having a big derriere can be good for your health. Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez will be co-hosting a party, y'all. Don't worry, I'm sure I'm on the guest list. Enjoy!!
