Dabei sahen wir im Mai die junge Mutter noch strahlend in Cannes in Roben des Hauses PPR. 3,5 Mio. Euro hätte die Hochzeit kosten sollen. Nicolas Ghesquière, Designer von Balenciaga (zu PPR gehörend) saß angeblich schon an der Hochzeitsrobe (für angeblich 500000 US Dollar. Einen Preis zu nennen, ist natürlich Quatsch, dass hätte Salma ja nicht bezahlen müssen). Ja, auf alle Fälle haben uns die beiden nun um DIE Modehochzeit des Jahres gebracht. Schämt Euch!

I was so proud the day I saw Christina Aguilera on Ellen after having her baby. It was actually a very funny moment when Ellen asked her “are you nursing?” Aguilera responded by saying yes and laughing that it must be obvious, and yes it was very obvious when you saw those giant melons stuffed in that dress! She was definitely not trying to hide it. It was refreshing to see a sexy mega star like her showing the world that she was feeding her baby the old-fashioned way. When you are a nursing mother you are even more attached to caring for your baby, your new baby relies on you ever 2 hours to eat which can be utterly (no pun intended) exhausting some days and nights. It let’s everyday, average Moms know they can do it too.

Christina isn’t the only one. Some other well known mamas whipping (or planning to) the boob out are…Salma Hayek, Nicole Richie Maggie Gyllenhaal, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, and happily this list goes on!  This is a great thing and something that will hopefully inspire others. So here’s a shout out to all you Hollywood moms going the extra mile to nourish your little ones!

I hope that Salma and Valentina will remember the message of Princess Bubble, "True happiness comes from loving God, helping others and liking who you are already!" as they go through this struggle. I wish them the best.

This is my chance.....

NOTE: This little blog may seem biased towards musicians so tried to pepper it up with some choices outside of the world of music.

LITERARY CRUSH (NPR EDITION)

Sarah Vowell is one of my favorite authors. I have read every one of her books, I immediately turn up the radio when she comes on NPR and have seen her do readings in Boston. I even loved hearing her voice in The Incredibles (she voiced Violet, the daughter with invisibility powers).  In her writing, you can feel her passion for history and her details of family interactions are so true to life. She loves my favorite band (They Might Be Giants) and is a self confessed geek. Despite playing this for humorous effect, her writing hits me deeply and I always feel like I've learned something after reading one of her stories. And she is so cute!! Her pictures do her no justice whatsoever. I'm not sure what happens with the camera, but she looks so different in person. *sighs*

COMEDIC CRUSH

Madeline Kahn. I grew up watching her in the comedies of Mel Brooks and every time, she plays the over the top scenery chewing, comedic center of attention and I love every minute of it. Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and even Clue, she shines in an ensemble cast where a lesser actress could easily fall into the background. One of her famous quotes: "There are no small parts, only small actors". She was so right.

DRAMATIC CRUSHES

Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek....do I even have to explain? Didn't think so...let's move on.

POP STAR CRUSH

Lady Kier from Deee-Lite. I have never owned very many so-called 'dance' albums, but their first album was incredible and you cannot tell me that your ass doesn't start moving when "Groove is in the heart" comes pumping out the speakers! The video for that song was incredible and damn this woman can dance. We were at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston and this video started playing in the restaurant. For a few minutes I was lost in that technicolor goodness....

ROCK CRUSH (WITH A SCOTTISH ACCENT)

Shirley Manson from Garbage. Working in radio had it's perks and one of them was having the opportunity to meet musicians. When their first album was released, I weaseled my way to one of their shows and got a chance to interview Miss Manson. I was reduced to a giggly little fanboy in about 30 seconds. The eyes, the voice, the attitude, this woman has a way of cutting right through the pop/rock posturing and creating amazing pieces of writing and music. She challenges you with her lyrics while making your ass move with the beat....

ROCK CRUSH (ICELANDIC EDITION)

Bjork, strange, quirky, silly, shows up to awards shows dressed as a swan, throws a mean right hook if a papparazzi takes too many pics of her kids. Loved her unique voice when she was in the Sugarcabes but she really came into her own when she struck out as a solo artist.

ROCK STAR (COLLEGE RADIO EDITION)

Tanya Donnelly, formerly of Throwing Muses and Belly. Yeah, our little world of college radio in the 80's and early 90's didn't have alot of women as headlining artists. There were a few who were more than inspiring (Kate Bush, Kim Gordon, Juliana Hatfield, PJ Harvey and of course, Tori Amos, more on her later) but Tanya Donnelly was just downright sexxy. Last year, she and Kristin Hersh, the other half of Throwing Muses got together for a show at the Brattle Theater that I heard about, but ultimately missed due to the suck that is my job...missed an opportunity to relive a little piece of my youth.

ROCK STAR CRUSH (COLLEGE RADIO EDITION, PART DEUX)

Natalie Merchant. I was re-reading this and I totally forgot to mention the amazing Miss Merchant. Formerly of 10000 Maniacs, she has since broken out on her own and produced some of the most soulfull music of the last decade or so. But when she was with the Maniacs, she stole my heart, spinning and singing on stage, her voice soaring above the music. "These Are Days" is one of those songs that will always be with me and will always make me smile and my heart to swoon a little.

ROCK CRUSH (TATTOOED GOODNESS)

Jennifer Arroyo from Kittie and Suicide City. I can't say enough nice things about this woman. Met her through my friends in other bands and she is a total rockstar: super sweet, always so positive, tosses her bass around like a baton, amazing stage presence and covered in some really sick ink.

POLITICAL CRUSH (LEFT WING PUNDITRY)

Janeane Garofalo, I first saw her do stand up comedy on the very short lived Dennis Miller talk show and had a little crush on her ever since. The punk attitude, the glasses (not pictured) she epitomizes what I would chase after in the 90's: frumpy post punk nerdy girl goodness! :) Lately, she has been the voice of the 'radical left', which, truly is a bunch of bullshit. You want radical left wing looniness? Go talk to Jello Biafra sometime and get back to me how 'lefty looney' you think Janeane is then. I heard she is returning to acting this coming season on 24! I'm so excited!

TELEVISION CRUSH (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER EDITION)

Allyson Hannigan...and pretty much every woman on that show! I think this show was the ultimate nerdy culture wet dream! A group of amazing and dead sexxy woman fighting the supernatural evils of the world...with a couple guys thrown in there too... But Allyson Hannigan truly won my heart with her shy portrayal of the computer nerd who slowly but surely finds herself and her confidence as the show went along...

TELEVISION CRUSH (FOOD NETWORK SPECIAL)

Giada and Rachael Ray....there is a reason why males 18-45 are watching their shows! Giada is truly a wonderful chef and she is great at showing technique and truly creating some amazing recipes. She is a traditionalist, formerly trained and experienced with cooking and creating restaurant ready recipes for the home. Rachael Ray is not. She is perky and happy and way way overexposed but her appeal is simple: she is the everyperson who can create a great dish in the kitchen that may not be 'formerly' or 'technically' correct, but still great food. She is more accessible than Giada, perhaps. But both are damn cute, but Giada wins, hands down in just sheer luminescance. She absolutely glows when she is talking about something she is truly passionate about. Rachael giggles, which is cute...but no Giada... :)

TELEVISION CRUSH (NEWS NETWORK ALERT)

Robin Meade, the only reason I watch Headline News on CNN. I know nothing about her other than the camera loves her and she can read the news....

ROCK CRUSH (LOCAL GAL MAKES IT BIG EDITION)

Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls. She just rocks my little world. Been to about 12 shows for the Dresden Dolls over the years and have been truly amazed at how far they have come, how the punk cabaret scene has grown and grown and Miss Palmer just matures more and more as artist. My friend M said it best: she just seems like this force of nature and I can't help but be drawn in by her words and her voice.

OVERALL TOTAL AMAZING GODDESS

Tori Amos is just incredible. An amazing talent, incredible writer and performer and capable of reducing me to a blubbering puddle of goo. Her words inspire me, her voice sends chills down my spine and seeing her perform, well, definitely one of the best shows I have ever been to. When I was living in England, I had the opportunity to meet her and I completely froze up. I had bullshitted my way backstage with the "I work for an American Radio Station" which worked more often than not for some reason. I met the guitarist and we were chatting when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and there was Tori Amos. I completely froze. The world went into slow motion as I introduced myself and tried to talk. I don't remember what we talked about, but at the end, she said "enjoy the show" and leaned in and gave me a little hug. I watched her walk away and the guitarist got my attention again. He was laughing. And I was beet beet red..... He looked at me and said: "DOn't worry, shes used to that..." One of my favorite lyrics: "Just because you can make me cum, doesn't make you Jesus Christ". Love her...

Salma Hayek and French BILLIONAIRE Francois-Henri Pinault the father of her daughter Valentina have called off their engagement.

"We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been canceled," Hayek's rep said in a statement to USA Today. "There will be no further comment."

Hayek, 41, told the April issue of Glamour that she didn't feel the "need" to get married.

"Do I think we are going to get married? Probably. Will it make a difference? I hope not," she said.

"You want to grow old with someone, you want to have a partner and to have children we have all those things," Hayek added. "Some people need the commitment. Maybe we'll just make the party!"

Be still Bellies, she's only a few moments on the single market- you want her to bake a little longer. Get over that French bug of hers.

Salma Hayek has broken off her engagement to her baby's daddy, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.  The French based Francois-Henri,  the CEO of fashion conglomerate PPR started dating Salma in 2006.  The couple welcomed their daughter Valentina Paloma last Sept. 

Salma has stated that she doesn't feel any need to tie the knot yet and that they are happy with the way things currently are. -Nurse Cherry

Hayek, de 41 años, ha protagonizado en Hollywood cintas como "Frida", "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" y "After the Sunset".

Además, es una de las productoras ejecutivas de la versión anglo de "Betty la fea", "Ugly Betty" de ABC, y directora ejecutiva de Ventanazul, una compañía de producción que formó con la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.

Pinault es el presidente de la compañía de artículos de lujo PPR SA, propietaria de marcas como Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga y Puma.
