My Rambling Sunday Afternoon Thoughts......

Last weekend's Father's Day, I spent in Las Vegas with "GaGa" (aka "JoJo") and baby Sincair while John was in the Hamptons playing golf. (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE when we get to travel with our "private plane luggage"?) While I sat Cabana poolside with my friends Eva and Beau I brought a slew of magazines with pictures of various dads and their offspring. Matt Damon and Isabella, Ben Affleck and Violet, Tom McCrazy and Suri, etc. I'm sure these photos will all come in handy during the inevitable custody fights. Oh, come on, you think it too.





Here's what the mags are talking about this week ...





Weight. Jessica Simpson has lost a few, Angelina has lost too many and Nicole Richie has lost her mind. Seriously, they're saying that she might really be pregnant.





In Touch's cover shows us that Nicole's baby bump is getting bigger and the little ... um, star? actress? (What is she exactly?) is still avoiding questions on the subject. If Paris really has found God in prison, than let's hope she's praying that this rumor is not true. For the sake of the CHILD, people... think of the child!





So, Father's Day was probably pretty easy for Nicky Hilton this year ... "I know it's just a tie. .. but at least I'm not in jail!"





It was a big baby week:. Julia Roberts had a boy (Henry Daniel Moder ), Keri Russell also had a boy (River Russell... yes, really), Kevin James had a girl (Shea Joelle) and Angelina adopted three and gave birth to two.




This just occurred to me ... did Kevin James, "The King of Queens," name his baby girl after the stadium there? If so, that's worse than River.



Katie Holmes got a haircut. (It kind of looks like Suri's.) Based on the amount of media coverage this haircut is generating, I think it's safe to say that "The Katie" is officially the new "The Rachel."



Lindsay Lohan has canceled her big 21st-birthday party, originally scheduled for July 2 at a club in Las Vegas. She probably used the excuse, "I've been drinking for about nine years already, so what's the big deal?"




The Olsen twins, on the other hand, did NOT cancel their 21st birthday party. They celebrated in New York with friends, family and the whole "Full House" cast. Because you know what they say ... it's not a party without Bob Saget!




Us Weekly's cover advertises "Hollywood's Hot New Diet!" I swear, if it's "eat less and work out more" I'm going to demand my money back.





Kelly Clarkson has revealed that she was bulimic in high school. Wait, let me get this straight. She used to throw up, but was able to keep her food down AFTER she met Ryan Seacrest?







I find it interesting that Kelly's eating disorder confession comes immediately after she received bad reviews for her latest song, fired her manager, fought with her label and canceled her summer tour because no one bought tickets. I'm NOT saying that it's not true - we all know that no "American Idol" contestant would ever lie about their past - I'm just saying that the timing seems a bit ... coincidental.





Rod Stewart finally married his girlfriend of seven years, Penny Lancaster. She's 36, he's 109.






Britney Spears was out this weekend (in yet another classy outfit that give us Southerners a bad name) and onlookers swear she was drinking martinis. Ah, another proud graduate of the Lohan School of Rehab.






"The Sopranos" finale confused most, surprised many and annoyed some. Kind of like Britney's wardrobe.






Reese Witherspoon may or may not have broken up with Jake Gyllenhaal, who she may or may not have been dating in the first place. Glad that's cleared up.






The Odd Couple of the Week award goes to ... Jeremy Piven and "America's Next Top Model" winner Jaslene Gonzalez! You'd have to had watched "ANTM" to understand why I think this is so bizarre. Trust me, the eight other viewers out there know exactly what I'm talking about.






Jennifer Aniston posed in a long, white gown for her latest Smartwater ads. Um, I'm not sure making her look like a bride is the wisest marketing decision.





Why are Jay-Z and Beyoncé always vacationing on a yacht in the South of France? Oh, that's right ... because they can.




Britney's little 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, met her boyfriend (who has no dreams of rapping or acting, by the way) at church. Her mother's thrilled. Jamie Lynn's the anti-Britney.







Us Weekly and Star both show us pictures of baby Shiloh. Us says she looks just like Angie did as a baby and Star says, "Shiloh looks just like her daddy, Brad Pitt, did when he was her age." I think she looks just like her big brother, Mad. Words I taught my spell check this week include: Shea, Joelle, Jaslene, ANTM.






I am off to Sinclair's "best friends" JAMP's birthday - my husband laughed and swears you cannot "have best friend when you are one" I totally disagree! Some friends from Oklahoma had their kids stop by earlier (Danielle and Josh, he is a hedge fund manager and they are considering moving to Houston) she is my age and had a little boy, Coulson, who is a week younger than Sinclair - she became my "New Best friend" in 37 seconds! Men just don't get it. My husband isn't in touch with his "gay side" as much as he thinks!










Today for lunch Sinclair tried venison sausage for the first time. Let's just say if she does not stay in the 99 percentile in the height department Weight Watchers meetings will definitely be in her future! She went Ga-Ga!I think this is the venison sausage my sweet friend Sheridan brought over from her hubby, John Eddie's ranch in Del Rio, Texas. John Eddie is a significant Democrat and we live and breath by oil and gas prices, which means we vote Republican (yet for the record, Bush needs to get his head out of his posterior orifice on stem cell research) I am going to tell Sinclair when she is big enough to ask her about her first documented (of course) "eating Bambi" experience it was "Bipartisan Jerky"

Seriously Logan, why are we not friends?

Leaving on a Jet Plane....Happy Birthday Eva!!!

My sweet girlfriend, Eva celebrated her birthday recently and her handsome husband, Beau secretly organized a dinner this past Friday among her best friends - we departed on their plane and headed East to New Orleans to Clancy's uptown (one of Eva's favs) where a slew of friends were on hand to help toast our stunning friend.



Barbie and Ken would totally slit their wrists if they could see how damn GORGEOUS this couple was! Movie stars!

Presents for Eva.....horse goodies from Hermes!!! Me likey some yummy orange boxes!


Landing at the New Orleans Lakefront -and I SWEAR that is NOT a winglet on Beau's G3 in the background! I promised him I wouldn't mention a WORD about his new plane....and who said duct tape wouldn't leave a scar????

Eva loved all her goodies~

Gemi and Ben Bordelon of Bollinger Shipyards


Birthday surprise:Eva Bisso was all but in tears because hubby Beau Bisso, president and COO of Bisso Marine and a post-Katrina New Orleans transplant, seemed to have pretty much overlooked her 30-something birthday. That was before he swept her off her feet Friday night, zipped her to StarFlite Aviation and loaded Eva and friends aboard a private jet for a surprise trip home to New Orleans. For dinner — at Clancy's, the Uptown haunt of locals looking for understated atmosphere, great food and lively fun.The jet-setting party included Kristi and John, Frank Valobra, Stephen Loeb, and Colbie and David Hubenak. . . .http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/society/4916322.html

Happy Birthday JAMP!

Jack Allen is Sinclair's boyfriend - he turned one today and he had shindig deluxe!!! We could not decide on the perfect outfit! It had to be JUST the right one to catch JAMP's eye -- obviously we thought about going the "birthday suit" route but did not want to show up the other little debutantes.

Momma said there'd be days like this......

We settled on a floral number with a matching chiffon turbon - quite chic and trendy. The sparkles matched her little Hello Kitty Judith Leiber mini

Upon our arrival Jack and his Daddy, Scott greeted us at the front door. They immediately had the shy "goo-goo" eye action going on (JAMP and Sinclair, not the Daddies)

We sized up the other girls quick and fortunately the only other competition for JAMP's attention for our friend Payton Daly! She was looking summer crisp in her blue smocked outfit with matching bow!

Sinclair got exhausted socializing and immediately needed her "main man" Daddy and a bottle

JAMP's Mommy and Daddy - Scott and Ryland are the most awesome couple! JAMP is the perfect combo of the two of them


JAMP couldn't wait to get his hands on his "smash cake"
As soon as the candle was out (Mr Fearless put out with his two forefingers mind you - no blowing for this brave boy) - he was into his cake and they became one!!

"Glossy Gals"

Who is that behind those Foster Grants in Cabo??

The Salvation Army annual luncheon held at River Oaks Country Club was a sellout with over 500 supporters in attendance.

Mosbacher, Pat and Dan Breen, Ginger and Jack Blanton, Major Marshall Gesner, area commander of the Salvation Army Houston Metropolitan area and Major Carolyn Gesner, coordinator of women’s ministries; and Houston's best dressed Sheridan Williams and Kristi Schiller. The event raised more than $825,000 for programs and services in the Houston area.

JAMP and Sinclair's First Date:



My girlfriend Ryland had some errands so she trusted Sinclair and I with Jack Allen for the day! This is a huge honor for me that she trusted me with her most cherished possession. What a treat he was!! He is the BEST baby - never cries, loves to snuggles and laughs at everything!!I took a ton of photos of he and his favorite gal all day long, here are some of my favorites!
Jamp gives Sinclair the look like "I know you just TOOK my cheerios, but I love to share with you! All you had to do was ask!"

JAMP gives the best snuggles.....I don't think Sinclair was digging me giving away her sugar to her boyfriend
