“Sure, pIS, but the point is it’s kind of arrogant to refer to yourself that way – especially when you’re a bit of a Z-lister.
I’ve never heard any A-list celeb refer to him/her self like that before. Most try and stress that they are just normal people behind the glitz and glam.”

She’s a celebrity. It’s a fact, whether she’s A list or Z list. There’s nothing arrogant about calling yourself a celebrity. And she’s being honest. She ISN’T the average normal person.

Erica- I think Brooke just meant that she and David, while not married legally, are married in all other senses of the word. My brother is not legally married to his long-time girlfriend, but, in my family’s eyes, they’re basically married in all other senses of the world. We affectionately refer to them (albeit not to their faces, although I doubt they’d mind!) as “married but not”.

In fact, even some of our friends see them as basically married. One friend, for example, has referred to my brother’s gf as my parents’ “daughter-in-law”.

I agree with the previous posts and don’t think that anyone is shocked or offended ot upset that she has a nice lifestyle, just that she seems to brag about it when she does interviews. You never hear Reese Witherspoon bragging about her 5 million dollar paycheck or Heidi Klum talking about dropping sizes from a size 6 to a size 0 or something! Most celebrities do not refer to themselves as celebrities. Can you imagine Jessica Alba giving an interview stating how many square feet her house was or how much money her new car was? No way! I know that celebrities have pretty nice, financially secure lifestyles, but to hear them flaunt it to their fans just leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

This is Celebrity Baby Blog. I can't believe some commenters are actually shocked at the different lifestyles they can afford. How dare she be thin, a celebrity, and have a car over 30 thousand dollars! Besides the obvious reasons, I thought this site was for mother's to find common ground, not gripe about what others do or don't have.

Just because she’s not A+ list like Brad and Angelina doesn’t mean she’s not a celebrity. If she’s on CBB, she’s a celebrity. If you get hounded by the papparazzi, you’re a celebrity.

LOL Lauren… OK, I was trying to sound as least bitchy as possible! But you’re right, she does sound totally full of herself referring to herself as “us celebrities”. Celebrity? What has she done, exactly, except hook up with the dude from Baywatch? Not exactly in the Brad and Angelina league.

Being married is like being dead–you either are or you aren’t. No matter how much she tries to equivocate the situation, Brooke and David are not.

Really, the only thing that bugs me is what a few of you have already mentioned. I remember reading one of Brooke’s old interviews and she claimed the main reason her and David haven’t married is because they don’t have the time to plan a wedding. Which would be a pretty good excuse if they didn’t live in the same country, state, city and house and somehow already found the time to have two kids together to boot! Although it would never happen I’d respect her more if she just admitted that it’s her alimony checks which is really keeping them from getting married.

I love all of Brooke’s kids’ names (especially her boy’s), but Shaya, Neriah, and Sierra do sound awfully alike.

total ditto molly!

i never realized that her daughter’s and son’s names rhyme: neriah and shaya (assuming they pronounce it like shia lebeouf… SHY-uh).

I read her blog and twitter, mostly for food advice because nobody can deny she looks amazing! However, i too am noticing more and more that she comes off a little smug in interviews, that even the “negatives and tough times” she shares about herself are not very sincere and sort of made to make her come off more relatable.
