According to Popeater. com, the Judd family is at odds again. Over the years, there have been famous rifts in this family. The latest comes on the tail of Ashley's new memoir. She alleges that she suffered from sexual abuse and neglect when she was younger due to her mom's interest in career climbing as a country music star. Popeater.com reports that sister Wynonna and mom Naomi are angry and hurt by the airing of dirty laundry. Personally, I can't wait to read the book!

Wendy Williams -- many of you know she is one of my favs and that he talk show is a guilty pleasure. Well, she was booted off Dancing with the Stars, much to my chagrin. I even cried. Why? Because I admire her for stepping outside the box and trying something totally new and different, especially as in her phrasing, we are both "women of a certain age." I wanted her to succeed and win that darn mirror ball trophy. I know what Wendy would say though, "Don't cry for me Argentina."

Namastae.

Guilty Pleasures

I have a big three of guilty pleasures. My number on is the soap opera General Hospital. Number two is Wendy Williams. Number three is Celebrity Apprentice. If I had to add a fourth, it would be Dancing with the Stars, but most of the time, I can take it or leave it. (Not this season though because Wendy Williams is on it!)

I think it is important for each of us to have a guilty pleasure. It is time spent regrouping and recharging. Any parent knows how vital this is over the long haul. It is even more important when you are doing the single parent dance as I do. You just have to keep going because there is no one to step in for you.

So come on -- what is your guilty pleasure?
