True Tori.

Has anyone else been following this Tori Spelling story?? OMG. Heartbreaking. And kind of juicy. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here is a quick recap...

In 2005 Tori met her now husband, Dean McDermott, while filming a movie. They were both married to other people at the time, decided they were soul mates, divorced their spouses, and got married in 2006 (like a month after her divorce was final). They have four small children and have appeared on many reality shows together documenting their relationship.

Fast forward to Christmas 2013. Rumors surfaced that Dean cheated on Tori and the supposed "other women" was talking to anyone who would listen. No comment from Tori. No comment from Dean. Radio silence. And then this...






OMGGGGGGGGGGG.

True Tori premieres tonight on Lifetime at 10/9 central. The six episode reality show has been filming during this period of silence and will show Tori dealing with Dean's infidelity. Holy cow. It's about to go down, I'm sure. I kind of can't believe she's letting it all out there, but I get it. She gets to tell her side of the story in her own words.

I've got the wine ready and I cannot wait to see what happens.

Random Tuesday.

Masters. 


I could really care less about golf, but I love this win for Bubba Watson. (Side note: his real name is Gerry Lester Watson, Junior. I think I'd go by "Bubba" too. Just saying.) Anyway, the tears, the waddling toddler, it doesn't get any better. Good for him and his young family.


Chicagoland.


OH. MY. GOD. How did I just find this gem? We lived in Chicago for many years yet I never really knew much about Rahm Emanuel, but gosh, I have kind of fallen in love with him. This show has literally brought me to tears. And mostly because of the wonderful people fighting to make life better for the kids of Chicago's South Side. It is truly gripping and definitely worth watching.


Sick toddler.


Grier has a never ending cold so we took a trip to the doctor yesterday...and she loved it.






















Snow.


My cousin Whitney, who still lives in Chicago, sent me this today:






















Snow in April?! Gross.



Happy Tuesday! xo

Lindsay.

I have a confession.

I'm rooting for Lindsay Lohan.

I know, I know. She is a hot mess. I know. Seriously. I. KNOW. 

But really, there is something about her that just seems so sad. And real. And genuine. And I feel like she really wants to be great and good and wonderful and she just somehow, somewhere lost her way.

Her new show on Oprah's network, OWN, premiered a few weeks ago and I am hooked. Within the first ten minutes I was reminded that her career started in 1997, with The Parent Trap. (Ohmygosh, how cute was she in this movie??!!) Flash forward 10 years to 2007...she had 2 DUI convictions, 36 months probation, and 3 stays in rehab. Whoa. But wait...there's more. From 2010 to 2012, she had a theft charge, violation of probation, and stays 4 and 5 in rehab.

Yowza. That's a lot, right? Like a crazy amount of no good. And a crazy amount of rehab. 5 stays in rehab?? I don't understand how that happens. I really don't. In one episode Oprah said, "You need to cut the bullshit. You really do. Just cut the bullshit." YES, Lindz. Yes. Cut it. And also, GOD, I love Oprah.

So yeah, I'm rooting for Lindsay. My wish for her is to just get it together and prove everyone wrong. I hope this opportunity with Oprah and her network is the wake up call she so desperately needs and desperately wants.

You can do it, Lilo! I'm cheering for you!
