I could really go without seeing more of her. It seems certain moms like Kelly Rutherford, Ashley Simpson and Melissa joan hart do anything and everything to stay in the spot light (and press). After melissa’s negative comment about a certain actress and hoping she waits to die, I dislike her. And having to see her OVER AND OVER AND OVER on CBB is just too much. Can you say “needy much” for public media exposure? I am so over the above 3 moms (oh yes, and Kate Gosselin too).

motherof3,
what exactly are you talking about? I’ve NEVER heard her say anything like that…in fact, in every interview i’ve read or seen, she is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth celebrities out there.

I for one LOVE seeing pictures of her and her children and I think she’s an amazing actress and person.

jealous much?

She does come across as hungry for publicity…I will say that her husband is really hot, and her sons are adorable though!

Amber on October 13th, 2009

Well, let’s see. She’s opened up a new business, is on Dancing With the Stars, and is supporting a charity. Yes, she really shouldn’t be doing any press for any of that… Give me a break. And if you don’t want to see/read about her, why are you choosing to do so?

In defense of Ashlee Simpson, the majority of photographs that appear on this site of her and Bronx are paparazzi shots of her while she’s out and about. I suppose she’s supposed to stay inside and not live her life so you don’t have to see her.

I hate negativity and these are 2 gorgeous boys she’s got! They look so well behaved and handsome! I applaud her for being recognized for doing charity work! Those 2 boys are going to be heart-breakers and I love how they are dressed! Cute Cute Boys (and her husband) and they look so happy and normal, and are gorgeous!

My goodness, people just don’t give it a rest. Melissa is not on here any more than other celebrities and their kids. Every other day it seems like there is another image of Gwen and her boys or Katie and Suri and nobody bashes them. Seriously, what does it matter anyway? If it weren’t for these celebs getting photographed all the time then this site wouldn’t even exist. I happen to love Melissa and think she and Mark have a beautiful family.

*motherof3*- If you are so sick of seeing the those mothers then scroll right past them on here & don’t give them the time of day. Is it really necessary to come post something so nasty about someone?

motherof3 on October 13th, 2009

OOPS i guess I should clarify….she was on the cover of People magazine when she lost all of her weight. I was impressed and thought of her as an inspiration for new moms to take their time and lose the weight…UNTIL it was reported she was overheard saying she didn’t want a certain celeb to die that week so that she could keep her cover. She went on to clarify what she meant, but all that is is getting caught and not wanting to look bad so you make a fake apology. I am surprised no one else saw it. And in defense of myself, I don’t quite understand why you all get so upset – i am in no way judging or criticizing any of you! It is her and that one situation that just makes her look plain out IMMATURE and ANNOYING. Look it up for yourselves! And I do agree = her boys are so cute.

Rebecca on October 13th, 2009

I’m not sure I’d call those ballet flats, those are kind of moccassins/loafers.

Jane on October 13th, 2009

I love Melissa and I enjoy seeing pictures of her family.

Erika on October 13th, 2009

Those boys are so cute, and I like their names. I also LOVE american eagle, and their kids line.

motherof3, I was confused about what you were saying, so I looked it up and found plenty of links about what you are saying. It also upset me, I hope it isn’t true, but it sounds like it is. I was also a little upset that she was going to boycott dancing with the stars because she didn’t get picked. Guess she changed her mind. Anyway, for those who don’t know what motherof3 was talking about, here you go:

mother of 3 she also explained herself as soon as she got wind of what Page Six had said:

“It has come to my attention that something I said has been completely misconstrued in the press. I was merely explaining what I had read about how the cover of People magazine was chosen from an article last week I read in the Times. I truly hope that Farrah and her family know I wish them the best at this time in her life. And that I would never be so selfish to disrespect anyone, let alone someone I admire greatly.”

The Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/fashion/24generationb.html?scp=25&sq=farrah%20fawcett&st=cse

It said that if Farrah passed away Melissa would lose the cover to her.

Rachelsun on October 13th, 2009

Ok, I see about Melissa but I like Ashlee and Bronx and only see her w/ paparazzi shots. She has never done an interview on CBB like Melissa has. But so what? If you want to be an entertainer you have to advertise yourself. It goes along with it. If you don’t like her or anyone else then scroll past. That’s what I do for those I am not interested in.

Ryo on October 14th, 2009

I used to love Melissa and her boys are gorgeous, but a lot of her comments – not even the one about Farrah – turned me off her big time. If anyone bothered to do ANY digging on her at all, it’s really easy to see where motherof3 is coming from. Add to that the fact that she takes her kids to the premiere of everything she can possibly take them to and yeah, she needs to spend a little less time parading them around Hollywood.

g!na on October 14th, 2009

mother of 3- thanks for bringing that to my attention! I like Melissa joan hart but comments like that are unexceptable! It looks like she doesn’t want to lose any lime light no matter what! ugh!

g!na on October 14th, 2009

oops, i meant unacceptable!

fuzibuni on October 14th, 2009

it sounds like a nice charity she is supporting

melissa and her family look great… wonder if that is their new house on the east coast?

motherof3 on October 14th, 2009

Yes she does take those boys to every premier she can. She is always “available” for any photo op the media gives her. And don’t you all know that celebs, even z-list ones like Melissa, get paid to make appearances for charity functions? For the large part, it seems most charity work celebs do is selfish becuase they are trying to portray an image and are getting paid in the meantime for it. The exceptions are those that actually start charities and support them, like the Jolie-Pitt family. And I doubt the media “heard” of her doing this; I think she notified them to get exposure and be in the spotlight. And great for her people mag cover, but looks like she gained the weight right back!

melanie on October 14th, 2009

WOW. petty much, motherof3? “looks like she gained it all back!” for someone who doesn’t like what melissa “supposedly” said about someone else, you sure do think its ok for you to talk about other people…

and, on another note, have none of you EVER said something that came out wrong or was misconstrued or that you just simply didn’t mean?? I’m sure you have. just because she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean she can’t have a normal moment where she says something and wishes she could take it back. if there were cameras around you all day long, I guarantee you something would slip out that you didn’t mean…

DJB on October 14th, 2009

Very well put Melanie! As my Momma used to say.. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

kai on October 17th, 2009

my mummy told me to speak my mind and I agree with motherof3.

CelebBabyLover on October 18th, 2009

DJB and Melanie- Right on! There’s a big difference between speaking your mind and being nasty. As for the comment about Melissa gaining all the weight back…She looks fantastic to me. I, for one, am glad to see a female celeb who is not stick thin!
