Ms. Informed

Marc Anthony presented his wife and his baby mama J.Lo with a “push present”…a gift a man gives to the mother of his children after she gives birth (really, isn’t that the least we deserve after THAT??)

Maybe it’s because she had twins, or maybe it’s because they’re just that loaded, but J.Lo received an eight-carat canary diamond ring as WELL as a $2.6 million pair of earrings” engraved with an “M” on one and an “E” on the other. These are the initials of the twins, Max and Emme.

idk y, but American Idol Carrie Underwood said g2g to her bf Chace Crawford via txt.

“We broke up over text, so it’s like ‘peace out,’” Underwood told “Extra.” “It was completely mutual, we’re both fine.”

Busy with their own projects, neither celeb was offended by ending the relationship electronically.

All in all, this method wasn’t too bad. At least she didn’t dig her key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4-wheel drive…and carve her name into his leather seats…

“You could have been anywhere in the world tonight, but you’re here with me and I appreciate that…”

Wonder if that is how the American gangster himself Jay Z began his vows as his secretly married Destiny’s favorite Child Beyonce Knowles during a private ceremony last Friday.

For the affair, the-now-former-Ms. Knowles flew in a reported $500,000 worth of flowers, including more than 100,000 white orchid. Beyonce wrote a poem professing her love to her groom, while Jay-Z also wrote a rap-style poem for his bride.

Lots of luck to the happy couple, but Jay Z, don’t you ever for a second get to thinking you’re irreplaceable…

Since leaving the City, Actor John Corbett, who portrayed everyone’s (or at least my) favorite boyfriend of Carrie Bradshaw on HBO’s hit show Sex and the City, has moved on from Bradshaw…to coleslaw. He is the new voice over guy for Applebee’s Bar & Grill, replacing comedian Wanda Sykes.

I <3 Aidan!

[The following post is not your typical Ms. Informed entry.]

So I posted about that Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy. Then, faithful reader Ashlei wrote in saying he did not, contrary to what I believed, have gender reassignment surgery. So, if that is the case, he does NOT have male reproductive organs and still has female reproductive organs. If he does NOT have a penis…how is he, considered a he? And how is he legally married in the state of Oregon? How are they any different from a lesbian couple in which one partner choose to be artificially inseminated? If they are legally recognized as man and wife, what does this say for other same-gender couples who want to be married? I’m sorry, but taking testosterone and removing your breasts does NOT make you a woman. You may feel like a man and consider yourSELF a man, but biologically and legally, you are not.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great they are having a child and really do what you want, you’re not hurting anyone else (except maybe your child but that’s another story…). But HOW is this a pregnant MAN? How? It’s not. Sorry Oprah.

I may be missing something. I may be wrong here. If ANYONE can answer my questions or has anything to offer to this discussion I IMPLORE you to comment, email, whatever. I just want some answers.

Break out your trading cards, action figures, pillowcases, binders and any other paraphenalia you may have.


It’s. Time.

Rumors have been circulating for a few months now, but it has been confirmed that 80′S teen music sensation the Old Men New Kids on the Block will be getting back together to release a new album and go on tour. The group, as LFO points out in its one-hit wonder “Summer Girls,” did, in fact, have a bunch of hits. Hopefully their success in the 80’s/early 90’s carries over for their reunion tour. If recent Spice Girl sucess from their reunion tour are any indication, NKOTB will go over huge.

NKOTB members consist of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. Since the band parted ways in the 90’s, Donnie Wahlberg has went on to star in TV and movie roles, while Jordan and Joey each had solo albums. (Who could forget Jordon’s smash hit “Give It To You”? Gives a whole new meaning to carnivals.) Not too sure what Jonathan and Danny did….but Ms. Informed sure did have the Jonathan and Danny dolls back in the day…yup, true story.

…Didn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger make a movie about this??

The world’s first pregnant man sat down with the queen of talk Oprah Winfrey yesterday. Thomas Beatie, who was born a female and had underwent gender reassignment surgery, began taking testosterone treatments and had breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest, and his wife Nancy appeared on the show and Beatie defended his decision to carry the couple’s child when they found out Nancy was unable to conceive. Beatie opted to keep his reproduction organs and was artificially inseminated.

[Um....yes it kind of does. It generally — generally — means you're a woman, Tommy. But that's just me, I'm old-fashioned like that.]

[May be true, but while men may desire to have children, find me one who desires to actually give birth. Other than yourself.]

[Please, find me that article in the Constitution.]

But, to each his own, I guess. Gotta love America!
