I needn’t have bothered blogging yesterday because someone in an Ellen DeGeneres online chatroom posted a link to my Late-night read: Paranoid Portia blog. I might not need to blog again for a week.
Except I’m insanely, ridiculously, obsessively driven, so I will. Twice a day, like clockwork.
I wonder when someone will invent Blogging Anonymous?
In the meantime, what else was I frenetically writing last week?
Well, speaking of Portia, I blogged about the night I almost kissed her. I asked readers to confess if they’d kissed a celebrity. The only one game enough to blab was Jess2, who confessed: “I kissed the lead singer of Wa Wa Nee in the car park before watching the taping of Countdown.” Go Jess!
While comatose in bed, feverish with flu, I got a phone call from someone saying they hoped the rumours weren’t true about me being addicted to ice. That immediately got me upright!
I also thought I’d discovered the secret to finding new love in my mid-40s, with loads of men trying to befriend me and shower me with compliments about my nose on Skype. Bloody scammers. I wrote about it in a blog called I’m A Skype Hottie.
Still under-the-weather but determined not to cancel date night, I went to a yummy Spanish restaurant with Husband on our first date FOREVER. All the details are at Sick Of It.
And then there was My latest cock-up.
In the world of celeb, I’m ashamed to say, it was pretty much the week of the boob: Kanye squeezed Kim’s, Oprah’s distasteful co-star talked about her “big ‘ol titties” plus Miranda Kerr and Kate Hudson went topless, meanwhile, just for a change, Rihanna flashed her butt cheeks instead. Oh, and Matt Damon talked about his butt cheeks here, sadly no flashing though.
Oh, and I had a good giggle that Russell Crowe spotted a UFO over the Botanic Gardens and posted a video of it on youTube. See it here.
Perhaps the most controversial of my written output at ivillage.com.au this week was Doctor threatens to call police after woman refuses emergency C-section. The heading pretty much speaks for itself and the story provoked lots of heated discussion in the comment section and on Facebook. Perhaps the most controversial comment was from Susie m and it had nothing to do with the C-section: “She doesn’t care that much about the baby or she would have lost weight & not given it gestational diabetes.”
Oh-kay.
I was blown away by a five-year-old boy from Queensland who made a video for a boy ailing in the UK from kidney failure. It’s amazing, see it here.
I got my knickers in a knot over a beauty blogger who said: “Looking like a small child has never been cooler or sexier, so get with it.” Read the story here.
I wrote about how Michelle Obama handles body image discussions in her household. Actually, that might have been a better heading for it. Ah, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
iVillage ran my confession about being naked and alone with a woman and my view that birthday invitations are being used as weapons in the playground. And I was told to suck it up: “Rejection is a part of life, sheltering them from it entirely is not going to do them any favours.”
Finally, I didn’t contribute a word to Need a giggle? These wedding photos are awesome, other than the heading – but it’s this week’s must see.
How was your week?
