This is a picture from Gisele Bundchen at her Post-baby bikini shoot. The media applauds women who lose baby weight as fast as possible. It is a competition for who can starve themselves the most, to eat just enough to make it through the day. The important thing is not becoming the celebrity mom's new life with her new baby, but how fast she was able to lose the weight and her BIG secrets that anyone can use to look just like them and drop 30 pounds in two months.

Also, when celebrity moms are pregnant they are to look as beautiful and possible. Meaning the only extra pounds they put on are in the stomach, but their legs, arms and face are to remain the same.

Jesse's Reaction to Divorce

Jesse stated, "My whole life has been full of hard decisions. The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put in to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart."

"Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in my life."

"I ask that you please o not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She ha done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother, and best friend, for the over 6 years we have been together."

I wonder why it is that when males cheat on their wives and are in the public eye, they usually try to blame it on a sex addiction and think that by going to sex rehab they are making some kind of big step to prove their wife that they know they messed up and will one day be the man their wife will want again. It seems to always just be the first step to take when a wife is thinking about divorce.

It has been said that Jesse has been having affairs with several women for the past three years and I wonder how much of that is because he is a sex addict and how much is due to Sandra's building career and stardom. He too is a celebrity and has his own show but is nowhere near as successful as she has become. It makes me wonder how much of his need to seek out other women is due to Sandra's success. Also, no one is judging Bullock for Jesse's infidelities so it seems strange to make that request. Tiger did the same for his wife, even though she did come out swinging a golf club, I don't think she was being judged for his embarrassments.

Sandra Bullock's split from Jesse James will likely be a clean break. She filed for divorce on April 23 in Austin, Texas. It is said that the divorce should wrap up within two months. As far as children, Sandra has no legal rights over Jame's three children and will have to request visitation rights. New Baby Louis will not be an issue either. Bullock signed the divorce papers with her initials backwards, B.A.S, suggesting she is trying to make the divorce as private as possible.

It seems as though Sandra is going through this painful process as best as she could. I think adopting the new baby has been a large part of her coping and he will be the rock in her life. After being humiliated by her husbands infidelities she seems to be taking this time to reflect on the important things in her life like her family, friends, and new baby and through them is finding a new strength. I would think that there would be even more coverage on this but because she is maintaining such a private life right now she is staying out of the public eye and slowing down the media stories.

Sandra's New Baby

Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from Jesse James and is following in the Hollywood trend of adopting an ethnic baby. Her and Jesse had started the adoption process together, but after the divorce Sandra took it into her own hands to go through with it. She hopes that in the future Jesse will be able to be baby Louis Bardo Bullock's father figure not matter how they choose to gone on with their lives apart from each other. Jesse was quoted saying, "I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But believe the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation to making this happen."

I think it is awesome that Sandra was able to finish the adoption process and have this beautiful baby to love and love her back. This baby does promise a continuous tie to Jesse though and I wonder if Sandra is hopeful for a possible future with him or actually done and moving on. Since it took Sandra so long to find a man she saw herself spending her life with and then having that fail, I wonder if adopting this baby will be used to fill the void of being able to have a committed, loving relationship with a man and being able to have babies of her own.

Food Blogging

A new fad is hitting the Internet, food blogs, similar to personal blogs kept about celebrities or about ones personal life, except it is a blog with photos of what people eat during the day. For some reason it has become interesting for people to following others and what they have eaten in the past week. Perhaps this goes along with getting to know the personal life of the celeb or people in general. Usually what we see of every day people is their appearance in the public and how they act in front of other people, this unknowing of the full person and their thoughts and actions when they are alone is a part of their personal life that is interesting to the rest of us. I guess this is what makes following other peoples food blogs so interesting and even addicting.

These blogs can be used for many different reasons. One lady met her boyfriend through some one she didn't even know that was a loyal viewer of her blog. She also found that by posting pictures online of what she ate during the day for all to see, helped keep her on the right diet track. One man said it is motivational and keeps you accountable because you don't want to see that you ate an entire jar of peanut butter. One woman started because she wanted to show her mom the food she ate while on vacation, but it then turned into an addicting routine. It also acts as social networking. In many places food brings people together. Think about it, at every social event, funeral, party, wedding, baby shower, birthday ... there is food, and people love it and look forward to it.

This can be bad, however, if it becomes an obsession that interferes with careers or relationships. One man brought the wrong lens and left his wife at the table alone for an hour while he ran home or get the correct one. Some business, however, are definitely benefiting financially. Nikon realised this new trend that was taking place and added a new "food" mode which allows the food to photograph better.

Photographs of your food are very personal. The not only depict what kind of food you generally eat, but this can also tell what kind of person you are and can bring you back to a certain memory and place in time. Food enables all of your senses which has a more direct contact with your memory than a picture of a person or flower. It is said in the closing of the article that photographing food is a more accurate way of documenting your life, food isn't going to put on a special face when you take a picture of it. I believe this could be a true statement, however, I feel like any other Internet or media addiction, this kind of lifestyle could very much become a controlling part of your life, it is just difficult to say whether or not it would be positive or negative.

Following the launch of her new TV show, the Price of Beauty, Jessica Simpson did a photo shoot and interview for Marie Claire magazine completely bare, with no make up or photo shop. Or so they say. The magazine claims that Jessica Simpson is going completely natural in her new photo shoot, but after reading the comments and looking at the pictures myself it is very difficult to believe that she isn't wearing even a hint of make nor has had the photo touched up. She wanted to do this shoot to prove that beauty comes from the insides and is more than just surface deep. After going under the scrutiny that the media has put her through this past year with her weight and the well known, "mom jean" look, she is using her star power to turn this into a new economic advantage. She is promoting beauty from within, and proving that you don't have to be a size zero with perfectly dyed and styled hair and makeup to be seen as beautiful. Not only is she trying to show this by traveling to different countries and seeing their different views of beauty but she is using herself and an example of every one's natural beauty without the big star makeover. The only question is, that these pictures bring up, is is she really going all natural and standing by her words. It claims that she is bare with no photo shop but what about having the perfect lighting, shadowing and blown hair?

What I also found interesting was at he bottom of this article was another link stating "3 facts that make you skinny." Little bit of a mixed message?

It almost seems like the media is making fun of what she is doing or stating it as something ridiculous and not the common desire by sending this mixed message.
