Kellie Pickler brings down the house when she gave this show stopping performance at the Country Music Awards. She sang I wonder which she co-wrote. The song is to her mother, Cynthia Malone, who abandoned Kellie when she was two-years-old. Apparently, her mother is now trying to re-enter Kellie’s life and as Kellie sings, ‘Forgiveness is such a simple word, but it’s so hard to do when you’ve been hurt.’

Sounds like the mother regrets that she abandoned her daughter.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were caught being together again this week. They were dating secretively, then broke up secretively, now they are secretively together again. It pretty much looks like if they are saying they are together then they are broken up and if they are saying they aren’t seeing each other its a pretty good bet they are. That seems to be the pattern.

Well, when they broke up after dating this summer it was because he wanted more time together and she put her kids ahead of the relationship (and her career for that matter). I think that’s cool and certainly not what we are used to hearing from Hollywood starlets.

Oh, and did you know they were introduced to each other by her cheating ex-Ryan Phillippe? HA!

Today’s mystery is something I’ve been wondering for a while now. Where are Isabella and Connor Cruise? I realized today that I wasn’t the only one wondering that when I saw a story asking the same question at E!Online.

We see pictures of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes with little Suri just about every time we turn around. We see pictures of Nicole Kidman with Keith Urban. But we don’t see the kids.

Every since Suri has been here we don’t see any more photos of Tom and Katie with Isabella and Connor to show the world what a happy family Tom has.

Really. Where are they?

First there were the California fires, then Jack Bauer … I mean Kiefer Sutherland, … got a DUI and is scheduled to do some time jail time for that. Now the Hollywood script writers have gone on strike.

All of that adds up to no 24 this season. They say they aren’t going to air any of it till all of it is filmed. So, its going to be indefinitely delayed.

Oh No!

How about a trip to New York? Or maybe you could give the gift of a trip to New York City to someone special in your life. I’m ready to go. Its easier to do than you might think thanks to the New York CityPass. You can save a ton of money with the pass. Right now you can save even more because they are currently half price.

With the New York CityPass you get to see the major attractions and bypass long lines for tickets. The pass is $65 for adults and $49 for kids, you get tickets to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (which has new Greek and Roman galleries), the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim Museum, a cruise around Manhattan and even a trip to the top of the Empire State Building. The best part: at most places, you get to skip the long lines at most main entrance ticket lines. Besides the tickets, you also get insider tips on the best times to see certain attractions.

While you are there you’ll want to take in all of the sights and this is a way to make it much easier and much less expensive. Since you are probably doing some holiday shopping you might want to consider getting a New York CityPass. The winter pass is valid December 15 - March 15. You can get overnight delivery and even get it wrapped with a personalized gift card!

Christina Aguilera was practically ready to deliver her baby before she made a statement admitting she was pregnant. What’s with THAT? Its not like it was a huge surprise.

Now she is layering on the make-up like she’s trying to hide her face. What’s with THAT? She doesn’t NEED the make-up. k?

Have you ever wondered why men use aftershave and women don’t? I have. When you think about it, we shave a LOT larger area than men do! Shaving is actually pretty brutal to your skin. It can leave your skin rough and you might have little nicks and cuts. The point of aftershave is to heal those nicks and cuts and to sooth your skin after you have dragged a razor over it!

So what do you use to soften your legs after you shave them? It only makes sense that there should be an aftershave that is just for women. You can find an entire line of Shave Savour luxury women’s aftershave at the Whish Body Products store.
