Gwyneth Paltrow Calls Her Grandma A “C**t”

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 27, 2011 //

Gwyneth Paltrow apparently didn’t do any knitting with grandma. When she appeared on “Chelsea Lately” this week, she and Chelsea Handler talked about their respective German grandmas. Gwyneth apparently called her mom’s mom “Mutti” and not in a good way. “My grandmother was a real c**t,” she said. “She basically hated my guts. She tried to poison my mother against me, but it didn’t work because I have a great mother. She was just tough, just tough. You look back and you think she must not have been very happy and she must have had a lot of pain because she was mean as hell.” Wow, using the c-word on someone who’s dead? Harsh.

My friend Shelly (The Singing Siren) found these elastic-waisted, pocket-less, pull-on bottoms literally called “Bend Over Pants.” Yep, that sexy name is a registered trademark and they retail for the social security-friendly price of $16.99. But why is Nana lifting a leg and popping her badonkadonk over a chair? Ahhhhhhh! This is what happens after you invent Viagra: Grams needs easy-access pants. Keep reading »

The Daily Squeeze: Breast Milk At Ben & Jerry’s, Grandma Smells, And Bad Dreams

A spokesperson for Ben & Jerry’s responded: “We applaud PETA’s novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother’s milk is best used for her child.” Why is everyone so obsessed with breast milk these days?

  • As we age, we develop that “Grandma” smell. Now there’s a perfume to mask that scent, so you’ll smell eight years younger. [The Guardian, U.K.]

    Emails From Mom

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 26, 2008 //

    I just found this cute new blog that features touching, adorable, mom-written emails sent in by readers. This is such a coincidence because my mom just sent our general Frisky email account some feedback on the site, saying that we should “solicit writing by aspiring women writers with stories and poetry about relationships” which made me laugh because I thought she knew I hated (most) poetry. Next time your mom emails you to remind you to take your vitamins, or your grandma sends you a little note from her AOL account saying that she hears the weather is horrible in your area, head on over to Postcards From Yo Momma and submit them for public consumption.
