WALL OF SHAME
Tiger Woods Gets a "Keep It in Your Pants" From the Other Side
Which facet to this commercial is more horrifying? Is it the use of the late Earl Woods' voice? Is Nike's crawling through the mud of Woods' personal story in a commercial to sell shoes? Is it the creepy, stunned look on his face? Or maybe the sea change from "Just Do It" to "Well, You Did It?"
Bristol Palin's Public Service Announcement: Have a Kid! If You're Rich!
As an "Abstinence Ambassador" for the Candie's Foundation, Sarah Palin's 19-year-old teen-mom daughter asks: "What if I didn't come from a famous family? What if I didn't have all their support? What if I didn't have all these opportunities? Believe me, it wouldn't be pretty. Pause before you play."
Cosmo Mag Presents ... Crafts for Your Crotch!
As Dodai at Jezebel puts it, "You know, mixing hot wax, paper stencils, and lady bits — while trying to read — seems like a painfully bad idea. " The best worst part: Cosmospeak like "Add some down-there flair" and "Start a game of naughty GPS. Destination: Downtown."
Tina Fey Goes "Mean Girl" on "Saturday Night Live"
Fey's attack on Bombshell McGee for Jesse James' infidelity to Sandra Bullock -- calling her a whore and "a dirt bag's binder from 7th-grade metal shop" -- felt a whole lot closer to Lindsay Lohan than Liz Lemon. (We're sick of "Mean Girls" references, too -- but can't resist, since Fey both wrote and starred in .)
Woman "Returns" Adopted Child to Russia
A Tennessee woman, Torry Ann Hansen, sent her seven-year-old adopted child back to Russia alone with a typewritten note explaining why she wouldn't be parenting him anymore. With only a backpack full of candy and Magic Markers to accompany him. While we haven't walked a mile in her shoes, since when do people treat kids like Amazon orders?
WALL OF FAME
Mom Bloggers Own the Today Show
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The Today Show profiled mommybloggers this week under the headline "Mommy Meanest." Good thing the guest bloggers were Isabel Kallman, Susan Getgood and Jen Singer -- who were able to play "Mommy Quick on Their Feetest," turning the conversation around to the support parent bloggers receive in our community.
CNN, Huffington Post Finally Realize Food Blogging Is Hot
On the heels of the launch of HuffPo Food, CNN announced Eatocracy, led by Tart.org blogger helmed by CNN food reporter Kat Kinsman, aka KittenWithaWhip -- all just in time for a collective American heart attack at the launch of the KFC Double Down Sandwich (pictured above).
